Chapter 406: Means
Chapter 406 means
"But, Dashuai, we can't watch the brothers downstream being beaten in vain."
Mao Wenlong didn't answer, but asked something else: "Staff Officer Zhang, what news is there now from the dozen or so people in my Dongjiang Town?" ”
Staff Officer Zhang paused. Chinese Network then said: "Dashuai, most of the dozen or so people and horses outside are trapped, and what they have gained is not as good as before, and now only half of the Tatars are surrounding our Zhenjiang Fort, and the others have gone out to find our dozen roads of trouble." Therefore, there are several ways close to each other, and they have retreated to the sea......" Zhang Heng immediately said the latest news.
"Oh, that's it" Mao Wenlong frowned, thinking. After thinking for a while, he said: "The account can't be counted like this, although our dozen or so people have no results, but, we didn't do anything wrong, we are right, Your Majesty's arrangement this time is the word 'entanglement', in order to make the Tartars unable to cultivate, they can only continue to fight with us, temporarily retreat to the sea, it's okay, wait for the Tartars to leave, and then go back, this time, Your Majesty does not pay attention to what city, nor does it pay attention to what defeated enemy is not defeated, let alone how many enemies are killed, and even does not pursue the responsibility for defeat and retreat...... As long as the Tartars can't cultivate, then we are victorious, just rely on the people of the Tartars, support tens of thousands of horses and horses for many years of fighting, I want to see how long the Tartars can last...... "The more Mao Wenlong said, the higher his voice was, the more he said, the louder his voice became, and his confidence also rose.
With Mao Wenlong's generous explanation, the generals and relatives were a little anxious, and the tired expressions were swept away, and their faces were full of brilliance again.
"Sun Tzu said: The husband is the victor without a fight, and he has to count a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts...... Da Shuai is right, this time, as long as His Majesty's temple wins, even if the Tartar beats me more than a dozen ways, defeats me everywhere, and wins me everywhere, the final result is also our victory. As long as we let the Tartar unable to go back to recuperate, the Tartar will definitely lose......" Zhang Heng immediately picked up.
Mao Wenlong couldn't help nodding and said: "Staff Officer Zhang is right, this time, we just want to drag the Tartar to death, so that the Tartar can't retreat, of course, we can't let the Tartar be too easy, since he still has the heart to run around outside and find trouble with my children, then I, Mao Wenlong, also have to add some material to him, can't let him be too relaxed......" Mao Wenlong smiled mysteriously.
"Mao Da ......," Mao Wenlong shouted.
"Father, the child is here." Mao Da immediately agreed.
"Are those things smoked?" Mao Wenlong asked mysteriously.
Mao Daleng for a while, he didn't sleep all night, his brain was a little stiff, what do you call those things and what do you call smoked? However, then he remembered it, and said happily: "Back to my father, this thing has been done a long time ago, it has been smoked a few times, and it is almost done, even if it is placed outside, it can be put for a long time, not to mention, now the weather is getting cooler, father, I guarantee that there is no problem, if it is not raining, you can hang it until the beginning of spring next year...... "Mao Da said with great interest.
Hearing his own handsome man say this, and hearing Mao Da say this without scruples, the faces of the people around him have changed a lot, what are those things? Everyone knew in their hearts that many people had turned pale, and many people began to retch at the thought of that eerie thing.
"Okay, since it's done, let's hang it up, the Tartars still have the leisure to seal the river with cannons, and the leisure to divide the troops to find trouble with my children, then I, Mao Wenlong, also have to add some material to him, I want to see, as soon as this thing hangs out, can the Tartars still be able to bear it?" Mao Wenlong's mysterious smile made the people present look creepy.
Zhang Heng's face turned pale, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, those things that Mao Wenlong said in his mouth were not good things, they were all the corpses of those Tartars who were killed, and now, as Mao Wenlong said, has been smoked, made into something like "bacon", and it has to be hung on the city wall, thinking of that strange taste, Zhang Heng is stomach turning, although he has also been on the battlefield, has seen dead people, and even seen the corpses of hanging tartars for the first time, however, the dead people have been pickled and smoked, this kind of thing, Zhang Heng has never heard of it, now, Mao Wenlong did it, and the hatred between Mao Wenlong and the Tartars didn't know how far it had got, so that Mao Wenlong did it without any scruples.
Mao Wenlong looked at Zhang Heng's somewhat pale face and said with a smile: "Staff Officer Zhang, do you think that my Mao is too barbaric?" Too shady, next? ”,
"Dashuai, no, it's just that when I think of those things, I inevitably feel a little stomach in my heart......" Zhang Heng flipped his stomach and answered as calmly as possible Mao Wenlong.
"Hahaha...... it's okay, it's good to be familiar with it, I think back then, we also came from the sea of corpses and blood, the scene is more terrible than this and I have seen countless things, this is just a small scene, those things are still only taken out and hung up, if reinforcements can't arrive, there is no food...... Hehe......" Mao Wenlong said with a smile.
Zhang Heng's heart was already tumbling violently, and when he heard Mao Wenlong say that he ate it, his heart was even more tumbling, but he just held back a breath and didn't make himself vomit.
There were already a few relatives next to him who couldn't help it and retched on the side, but more people were indifferent, as if this kind of thing was commonplace, but it was just a small scene.
Seeing Zhang Heng's pale face, Mao Wenlong patted Zhang Heng's shoulder and said, "It's okay, isn't it just a few corpses of Tartars?" It's not a big deal, my Mao Wenlong's intention to come to Zhenjiang Fort is to attract the Tartars, entangle the Tartars, and let the Tartars have to attack, since the Tartars still have the leisure to do other things, then don't blame me Mao Wenlong for his means, I want to surround Zhenjiang Fort quietly, there is no such cheap thing, I want to let the Tartars come to death, and drain their blood in this Zhenjiang Fort......"
Zhang Heng calmed down, although this matter is disgusting, but, as Mao Wenlong said, Mao Wenlong is now defending Zhenjiang Fort, in a very passive state, completely in a defensive state, the initiative of the war, completely on the side of the Tartars, how many people attack, how many people besiege the city, and even how much to withdraw has nothing to do with Mao Wenlong, even if the Tartars only use one or two thousand people to besiege the city, and the others withdraw, Mao Wenlong has no way, now there are four or five thousand people in Zhenjiang Fort, it is impossible to get out of the city, what Mao Wenlong can do is to wait for the enemy to attack, If the enemy does not attack, Mao Wenlong has no way, and Mao Wenlong obviously will not be so easy to be passive, from the beginning, Mao Wenlong has been using means, constantly provoking the Tartars, so that the Tartars have to attack, from killing the messenger to the current hanging dry corpses, although the things are not very good, but, I have to say, Mao Wenlong's move, but it is a killer, so many dried corpses hang out, if the Tartars do not come to attack the city, then Huang Taiji's prestige and prestige, I am afraid that it will rush away without a trace in an instant.
"Dashuai, although things are not very good, but it is also a good way to attract Tartars to attack......" Zhang Heng calmed down and said to Mao Wenlong.
"Well, yes, Ben Shuai also thinks so, my Zhenjiang Fort is guarding the city, a long defense, so I can only use some means to make the Tartars have to attack the city, Ben Shuai also knows that this matter is not very good, but, in order to entangle the Tartars, in order to fight the Tartars, in order to eliminate the Tartars, I Mao Wenlong let it out, even if I Mao Wenlong is said to be a demon in hell, I Mao Wenlong also admit it...... Hehehe......" Mao Wenlong said indifferently.
A few relatives on the side, the general said: "That's it, Dashuai, this little thing, why worry about it, as long as we can let the Tartars attack, we are willing to ...... what we do."
"Hehe, Dashuai, if you are a demon in hell, we are all a group of little ghosts, not only eating people, but also eating ghosts......"
"Hahaha......" Several subordinate generals laughed loudly, not taking this matter as anything at all, but some of them turned very white.
Mao Wenlong also laughed with his subordinates, his eyes kept looking into the distance, as if he was reminiscing, and seemed to be thinking about what it would be like if he really became a demon in hell one day in the future.
"Okay, let's all go and prepare, as soon as that thing hangs out, it is estimated that the Tartars will have a move, Staff Officer Zhang, those cannons will trouble you, once most of the Tartars attack the city, or the Tartars' cannons attack the city, please be sure to fire the cannons......" Mao Wenlong was stunned for a while, and then began the formal arrangement.
"Yes, Dashuai, the subordinate will receive the order, and he will definitely not miss the matter of the Dashuai." Zhang Heng replied with a straight face.
"Mao Da, go and rest, you worked hard last night...... Mao Wenlong said.
"Yes, father, handsome......" Mao Da agreed, Mao Da's pajamas were already very thick, if he wasn't standing, he would probably be asleep.
"Anything else, there's nothing to say, everyone is in place, ready for war, I hope Ben Shuai's hand can work......" Mao Wenlong looked into the distance and said
……
Houjin Daying
Sweat tents. ,
Huang Taiji was in front of the sand table, constantly gesturing. There was a commotion outside the ledger.
"Go see what's going on outside." Huang Taiji listened to the noise outside and instructed the servants who were waiting around him.
The minion replied and went.
After a while, the servant returned, his face very pale and terrified.
Huang Taiji glanced at his minion and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?" Is there a ghost out there? Scared like this? ”
"Master, master......, outside, Mao Wenlong ......, Zhenjiang Fort ......, they, they ......" The slave was very frightened, and his words were already a little confused.
"What the hell is going on out there?" Huang Taiji looked at the decay of his minion and knew that things were not good, so he immediately asked loudly.
"Master, outside...... Outside......" The minion had panic in his eyes and spoke heavily.
Huang Taiji walked over, kicked the minion, and scolded, "Useless thing." Then he turned and walked out of the sweat tent.
Outside the sweat tent, there were already a lot of people around, big and small Baylor, generals, who had already surrounded the sweat tent.
I saw Huang Taiji come out. Immediately the crowd shouted.
"Great Khan, let's attack the city, I must kill Mao Wenlong......" A Baylor said through gritted teeth.
"Great Khan, Mao Wenlong, that dog thing, dried the body of our Dajin and hung it on the city wall......"
"Great Khan, if we catch Mao Wenlong, we must cut him with a thousand knives." Everyone said angrily.
Huang Taiji has already guessed the matter from the mouths of his subordinates, and his heart is not good, this Mao Wenlong has done whatever it takes to force the war, and he has done that trick again, this move is even worse than the previous time.
Huang Taiji didn't say a word, quickly pulled away the crowd surrounding him, and looked in the direction of Zhenjiang Fort, sure enough, on the city wall of Zhenjiang Fort, there was a circle of things, and a dried corpse, wearing their Houjin clothes, looked so hideous and terrifying.
"Clairvoyant Mirror" Huang Taiji roared.
Huang Taiji raised his binoculars and observed Zhenjiang Fort in the distance.
The more he looked, the more Huang Taiji's hands trembled, and after looking at it for a while, Huang Taiji threw the clairvoyant mirror on the ground violently, and shouted with a terrifying expression: "Mao Wenlong, you evil ghost, Ben Khan will not kill you, swear not to be a man, not to draw your tendons, to pick your skin, this Khan swears not to be a ......"
In the distance of Zhenjiang Fort, the soldiers on the city wall are hanging the dried and smoked corpses one by one on the head of the city, through the telescope, you can also see that the soldiers on the city wall are still talking and laughing.
"Great Khan, let's attack the city......"
"Great ......Khan, even if we fill it with human lives, we will fill in Zhenjiang Fort......"
"Great Khan, let's do it, pull the cannon of Fengjiang, bomb the damn, take the opportunity to kill Mao Wenlong in one go......"
Huang Taiji listened to the words of the big and small Baylor and the generals, and the anger and anger in his heart were already burning, but there was always a voice in his heart that told him that this was Mao Wenlong's deliberate, deliberately leading him to be fooled, and deliberately using those corpses to provoke him, in order to let him attack the city.
Huang Taiji's heart fell into a fierce conflict, whether to attack the city or not, Huang Taiji clenched his fists tightly, his face was blue, his face was hideous, and he looked like a demon who wanted to eat people.
"Great Khan, siege the city......"
"Great Khan, let's fight......"
"Great Khan, don't hesitate, let's attack the city......"
Houjin's big and small Baylor, the generals urged again.
Huang Taiji was angry in his heart, and his resentment was terrible, Mao Wenlong's move hit his death hole, even if he was the Great Khan of Houjin, but he dared to say a word in the scene of public anger, for fear that the prestige he had built up over the years, the prestige would be finished immediately, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do it, who would still listen to him in Houjin? If it is a siege, obviously, Mao Wenlong is ready, what he is looking forward to is that he Houjin will attack the city in a big way, when he thinks of the thunder and hellish explosion, Huang Taiji has a heart palpitation, although it is very simple to order the siege, but thinking of thousands of deaths and injuries, Huang Taiji is unwilling.
"Great Khan ......"
"Great Khan ......"
"Great Khan ......" everyone urged Huang Taiji with resentment and resentment, and gradually, the hatred for Mao Wenlong had been transferred to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji's fist was clenched so tightly that he couldn't be tighter, I don't know when, he pinched blood from the palm of his hand, and when he looked up by chance, he found that everyone was looking at him with a venomous gaze, Huang Taiji was suddenly frightened, and this resentful gaze seemed to be coming towards him. ,
"All banners and departments listen to orders, get ready, and prepare for the siege." Huang Taiji's resentment towards Mao Wenlong in his heart has reached the point where it is beyond measure, as soon as this move comes out, either he Dajin suffers losses, or he Huang Taiji suffers losses, or Dajin is killed and injured in large numbers, or his Huang Taiji Khan's position is shaken, even if he is Dajin Khan, but, he doesn't dare to say a word, looking at the increasingly vicious eyes around him, Huang Taiji has no choice but to choose to attack the city, he is sensible, but it does not mean that all the people in Dajin are sensible.
"Chirp" everyone changed their faces full of poisonous resentment.
"Great Khan, can you pull those cannons from Fengjiang over? Attacking the city with artillery will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort, if you can collapse a section of the city wall, then my Dajin warriors can go down with a drum, and Mao Wenlong will die. At the critical moment, Fan Wencheng stepped forward and fought for something for his master.
"Good Xian Dou, immediately pull back the cannons of Fengjiang, fight for the loss of all these cannons, and also collapse the city wall of Zhenjiang Fort, without the city wall, I want to see what Mao Wenlong still has to rely on, catch Mao Wenlong, when a thousand knives are cut, avenge the warriors of my Dajin." Huang Taiji saw that the advisor he relied on said this at this time, and his mind seemed to have caught something, and he immediately agreed.
"Chirp" everyone shouted loudly, as if Mao Wenlong would be caught in an instant.
The crowd dispersed.
Huang Taiji took his bloody hands and went into the sweat tent.
"Great Khan, this hand." Fan Wencheng asked with concern.
Huang Taiji raised his scratched hand, and said indifferently: "It's okay, Xiandou, this little injury, just take care of it for a few days, Xiandou can talk about it, why did you say this just now?" You know, Mao Wenlong must have hidden a cannon, just waiting for my Dajin to pull out the cannon and bombard him, thinking that my Dajin does not practice artillery, in this regard, I am afraid that I am far from being Mao Wenlong's opponent, pull it out, I am afraid that it will be knocked out by Mao Wenlong if I can't fire a few cannons, and at that time, I Dajin wants to attack the city, but it will be more difficult, besides, without the cannon to seal the river, I am afraid of Mao Wenlong's reinforcements under the river...... "Huang Taiji seemed to have captured something just now, but, in a flash, without thinking about it, there are not many idlers now, I have to ask clearly."
"Great Khan, Mao Wenlong is so pretentious this time, just to yin* My big gold is fooled, and I will attack the city in anger, Great Khan, but don't be fooled." Fan Wencheng replied immediately.
"This Ben Khan knows, but Mao Wenlong's hand is also a little poisonous, and he actually uses a dead corpse as bait, thinking that Ben Khan is even if it is the Khan of Dajin, but, in that kind of scene, he doesn't dare to say a word, Xiandou said that he wanted to transport the cannon, but there is a deep meaning?" Huang Taiji asked, the flash of aura just now can no longer be chased.
"Great Khan, this is just an expedient measure, the cannon is more than ten miles away, and it is heavy, it will take a lot of time to transport it and set it up, and when it is transported, I am afraid that the sun is about to set, maybe, I can't say if I don't attack the city today, wait for everyone to calm down, maybe, I can see through Mao Wenlong's poisonous plan, so, I can avoid letting my Dajin Warrior go to worship and send him to death......" Fan Wencheng bent down and said his reason.
"Xian Dou, this is a good way to delay the time, it has dragged on today, maybe the situation has changed, it is impossible to say ......, but the crowd is angry, if you want to calm the anger of everyone, you have to attack once." Huang Taiji said irritably.
"Great Khan, it's okay, stay until tomorrow, I think everyone's anger is almost gone, the Great Khan only needs to be a little pretentious, let everyone know that the siege is hopeless, everyone will naturally not mention the word siege again, so, and will no longer blame the Great Khan, so, Mao Wenlong's poisonous plan is in vain." Fan Wencheng planned for his master.
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiantai is reasonable, in this way, my Dajin warriors don't have to be killed and injured in vain." Huang Taiji's brows spread out at this time, making a show of attacking the city, they are also doing it in the past few days, although there are some dead and wounded, but they don't hurt their muscles and bones, and they can still stand it.
Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that his adviser was still frowning, and said, "Xiantai, do you still have something to say?" ”
"Great Khan, there is a strategy, Wen Cheng doesn't know whether to say it or not."
"Xiantai just has to say." Huang Taiji said.
"Great Khan, in fact, I still have a chance, maybe I will go down to Zhenjiang Fort with one blow, maybe I will lose all the artillery, it is almost hopeless to attack the city or seal the river, the Great Khan ......" Fan Wencheng lowered his head and said cautiously, as he spoke, he also looked at his master Huang Taiji from time to time, and saw that Huang Taiji had always been encouraging, so he continued. ,
“…… When the sun goes down, you can take advantage of the night to secretly transport the cannons to a place close to the city wall, and more than a dozen cannons will fire together, perhaps, if you are lucky, you can blast open a section of the city wall before Zhenjiang Fort reacts, so that with the help of the morale of my Dajin crowd today, maybe Zhenjiang Fort can go down in one drum......"
Chapter 407 Contest
Huang Taiji listened to the strategy of his strategist, frowned, in the sweat tent, walking back and forth rapidly, this plan, but it is really a hammer deal, if the cannon does not blast the city wall, those cannons can be finished, Huang Taiji himself knows his own details, the so-called cannons, the so-called gunners, are all improvised together, it is not easy to fire the cannons, to say that a few rounds of artillery will collapse the city wall of Zhenjiang Fort, and it has to collapse for a long time, this is obviously difficult, to say that riding and archery, Huang Taiji has a hundred and twenty grasp, However, if it is a cannon, Huang Taiji is very unconfident in the accuracy of those gunners, and the news from the Ming Dynasty Jingshi shows that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money to train gunners, and even hired gunners from the Yi people to teach, which can be said to be a big investment.
"Xiantai, this is indeed a bit certain, but it is also a hammer deal, if it can be done, it has been done a long time ago, why wait until today? If I don't smash the city wall of Zhenjiang Fort, then the loss of my Dajin is not only the cannon, but also my Dajin warriors, I am afraid of thousands of deaths and injuries, not to mention, that Zhenjiang Fort is known as Jiulian City, in addition to the outer wall, there is also a fort inside, and the city wall is connected, just the city wall in front of it, I am afraid, alas......" Huang Taiji said more and more uncertainly.
Fan Wencheng was very calm, and said: "Great Khan, this is indeed a hammer deal, but it is also an opportunity, Great Khan, I have checked the almanac, today is the Xuanyue, after the time, there is no moon, at that time, the sky is completely dark, it can be said that you can't see the five fingers, and you can't see the movement below on the city wall at all, but you can first send people as in the past, keep making noise under the city, so as to paralyze the people on the city wall, and then drag the cannon to the near of the city wall, line up, and fire fiercely, if you are lucky, You can blast the walls of Zhenjiang Fort open for a long time, once it is blasted open, then our army will cover up, maybe you can go down with a drum, even if there are some casualties, but it will never be unbearable, if it is not blasted, just give up, and come back after a while, so as to prevaricate Zhubeile, it is also a good thing, it is better than my Dajin's warriors to send their lives......" Fan Wencheng explained his plan more clearly.
Huang Taiji frowned even more, kept walking around, and kept muttering: "Shang Xuanyue, Shang Xuanyue......, well, it makes sense." After the time, there is no light, take this opportunity, you can indeed pull the cannon down near the city wall, even if the accuracy is poor, want to get so close, it will not always be empty cannon, if you are lucky, in one fell swoop to collapse a section of the city wall, then Zhenjiang Fort has no city to rely on, and it is not difficult to attack the city...... but ......, Xiantai, how can Ben Khan still feel a little ......, how to say it? I feel unsure" Although Huang Taiji's heart was a little loose, deep down, he still felt unreliable.
"Great Khan, this plan, once successful, then Zhenjiang Fort can be down, and my army can also return as soon as possible, now the army is outside, although Yuan Manzi and Lin Dan Khan can not pose any threat to my Shengjing, but the Great Khan, the grain and grass have become more and more unsustainable, and too much is consumed on the way, and even if it is not successful, it can be regarded as an attack on the city, so it is enough to prevaricate Zhubeile,...... Also, Great Khan, I'm afraid these cannons won't last long......" Fan Wencheng lowered his head and said carefully.
"It won't take long? What is the meaning? Huang Taiji paused for a moment and asked.
"Back to the Great Khan, today Wen Cheng went to inspect those cannons and talked to an old gunner, and the old gunner told Wen Cheng that these cannons can no longer be fought, and if they fight again, it is estimated that they will have to blow up ......, and today two cannons have cracked ......, and the rest is estimated to not last long." After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, he lowered his head.
"What? Can't fight anymore? Why? Huang Taiji asked in disbelief.
"Great Khan, our cannons, themselves from the Ming Dynasty, before they came to the hands of my Dajin, have been used for many years, after they are in the hands of my Dajin, they have not been used for many years, and the barrels of the cannons have been corroded badly, and Mao Wenlong's water camp has been constantly harassed recently, and there are a lot of cannons, so ......" Fan Wencheng reminded, his head was lowered lower, they Dajin would not cast cannons, these cannons were still made from the Ming Dynasty in the early years, after years of rust, and recently they have been fired one after another, so the life of the cannon has reached the limit, and it is not far from being scrapped. ,
"This ......" Huang Taiji was very angry, his heart was also very stuffy, and the sense of powerlessness in his heart became heavier and heavier, the Ming Dynasty was still an existence that needed to be raised by the mountains, even if it defeated hundreds of thousands of officers and troops in the Ming Dynasty, but, in the blink of an eye, the Ming Dynasty could come out with hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, he could mobilize countless artillery to continue fighting, and he Dajin, although much better, but it was indeed walking on thin ice, although it succeeded again and again, but as long as it failed once, it was a place of no return.
"So......, Dashuai, those cannons are used to make a hammer deal, and if you do it, you will do it, and if you don't do it, you can only abandon it, Dashuai, why don't you take advantage of it and still fire, give it a try? Maybe it's a ......, if you don't do it, you won't have a chance......" Fan Wencheng reminded in a low voice on the side, and after speaking, Fan Wencheng's head couldn't be lower.
Huang Taiji took a deep breath, this time, there was no choice.
"Alas...... well, let's fight according to the constitution, let it go, I hope that God will have mercy on ...... and collapse the walls of Zhenjiang Fort in one fell swoop." Huang Taiji wanted to look up at the sky, but unfortunately, there was a tent roof above his head, and he could only see a well-decorated tent roof.
"No, Great Khan, just use these cannons to give it a go, it can work best, even if it doesn't work, the dead and injured are not my Dajin's warriors, and they are even more prevaricating the Baylors, so, it couldn't be better......" Fan Wencheng reminded in a low voice.
Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng a few times and said, "Xiandou is right,...... However, in this way, my Dajin will no longer have any effective means of siege, except for the death siege, it can only be attacked, and the hard attack will definitely not work, then there is only a way to the death siege......, the death siege, the long time, as Xiandou said, I Dajin can't bear it, who knows how much grain is stored in Zhenjiang Fort? The Empress sighed again.
"Great Khan, in fact, in addition to the cannon, it is not without things that restrain Zhenjiang Fort......" Fan Wencheng said in a low voice.
Huang Taiji looked at his adviser in surprise, what else could restrain Zhenjiang Fort? They can hit the things in Zhenjiang Fort after Jin, but not much, except for those cannons of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing that can build Zhenjiang Fort, and the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the cannons, just those big Buddha Lang machines, can easily hit two or three hundred steps away, four or five hundred steps away, this is no longer manpower, and their Dajin can do nothing except for riding and shooting.
"Xiandou, but what else is there to do?" Huang Taiji asked with a hint of surprise.
"Great Khan, in fact, we can also dig the ground, Wen Cheng observed the situation of fighting for many days, and found that although this cannon is sharp, if it can dig a hole in the ground and hide it in the ground, then, this cannon is useless, it is difficult to hit the hole, even if it hits, it will not be like on the ground, jump up and hurt people, and it is the same to deal with the big Buddha Lang machine, if I can dig a trench in order to get close to the city wall, or siege the city, or make noise, or a surprise attack, it is much more convenient, and it can avoid the people on Zhenjiang Fort from discovering, Unnecessary casualties can also be avoided,......" Fan Wencheng said.
"Reasonable, reasonable, Xiandou, you are really the Zhuge of Ben Khan." When Huang Taiji heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up, and he wanted to pat something with his hand, only to find that the blood on his hand was still not dry, so he could only withdraw his hand, and turned back and forth happily, but he threw the whip behind his head into flight.
"Then according to Xiandou, how should this trench be dug?" Huang Taiji was very excited and asked about the details.
"Back to the Great Khan, Wen Cheng thought that the big trench should be dug one zhang deep, one zhang wide, and obliquely to the city wall, so that the cannons on the city wall and the cannonballs could not shoot directly into my trench; The small trench does not need to be so deep, only one or two people can pass, can accommodate the body, several trenches are staggered, it can be convenient to transfer troops from the trench, pass, so, then Zhenjiang Fort does not know my bottom details, I don't know where I have many soldiers, where the soldiers are thin, day and night noise, so that Mao Wenlong is tired to cope, so a few days, I think Zhenjiang Fort must be exhausted, and when Zhenjiang Fort is exhausted, it is the time when I Dajin attacks the city......" Fan Wencheng squinted his eyes and talked eloquently.
"Okay" Huang Taiji suddenly figured out something, he was very happy, slapped on the desk on the side, and then grabbed a small wooden stick and began to draw circles on the sand table.
"Xiandou, this is a very good plan,...... Very good......" Huang Taiji looked at the sand table for a while, drew a circle on Zhenjiang Fort with a small wooden stick, and found another problem, and said: "...... Although this plan is good, it is a pity that this big insect river is too close to Zhenjiang Fort, otherwise, Ben Khan sent people to dig a circle of trenches around Zhenjiang Fort for two or three miles, and build a wall outside the trench, this Mao Wenlong does not need my big gold to fight, he will starve to death, but it's a pity, it's a pity that this big insect river......" Huang Taiji suddenly took a small stick and drew it fiercely on the sand table, drawing the logo of the big insect river to a sparse sparse mark. ,
Fan Wencheng watched Huang Taiji use a wooden stick to scratch the big insect river on the edge of Zhenjiang Fort, and his heart was full of confidence, but now, confidence seemed to have been scratched with Huang Taiji's movements.
"Xiandou, this kung fu on the water is my Dajin's weakness, Mao Wenlong has a water camp, the water camp must come to the rescue, we want to completely surround Zhenjiang Fort to death, how to solve the problem on the water?" Huang Taiji looked at the sand table that was sparsely drawn by himself, and said stupidly, if Zhenjiang Fort is not by the river, then he can use this method of his own strategists to completely surround the Ming army with a trench, as for those who came to the rescue, Huang Taiji didn't care at all, fighting in the field, Huang Taiji was never afraid of the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers, but unfortunately, Zhenjiang Fort leaned on the water's edge, and the one who came to save Mao Wenlong must be the water camp, the meaning of the trench is less than half, and it can only be used as a tool for noise and surprise attacks, rather than waiting for work to completely solve Mao Wenlong's strange plan, and the difference is quite large.
Fan Wencheng lowered his head and said: "Great Khan, this water matter, my Dajin has always been very weak, unable to compete with the Ming Dynasty, and now the plan, and there is no cannon to rely on, I can only make some small boats, or water rows, which are full of firewood and fireworks, once the downstream comes up to Mao Wenlong's water camp, then let these fire boats go down, perhaps, you can stop Mao Wenlong's water camp, but after all, this is not a long-term reliable way; Or, cut down a large number of trees in the upper reaches of Zhenjiang Fort and put them on the shore for standby, once there is a large group of water battalions downstream to help, then cut the ropes and let these trees down, perhaps, you can stop Mao Wenlong's water camp for a while, however, this is not a long-term solution This Zhenjiang Fort is too close to the river to encircle it" Fan Wencheng has no good way to do things on the water, originally, it is a good way to seal the river with cannons, but unfortunately, Dajin can't make his own cannons, and the captured cannons will soon be unusable, this short board is too short, even if there are too many strong Ming Dynasty in other aspects, it will not help.
Huang Taiji listened for a while, and said: "Since I am not as good as the Ming Dynasty in the water affairs, then I will make ......up for it with riding and shooting" Huang Taiji stared at the sand table for a long time, as if he had suddenly decided something, and suddenly said.
"What does the Great Khan mean?" Fan Wencheng asked.
"Although I don't have a warship, but this is not the sea, this big worm river is not very wide, the narrow place is only two or three hundred steps, I rushed forward quickly with cavalry, shot his sail with a rocket, as long as the sail is ignited, I think the warship has no sail, I see how Mao Wenlong's water camp comes up......" Huang Taiji thought for a long time, and seemed to have finally found a way to restrain the enemy.
"Great Khan, this is indeed a way, however, there are also some sharp firearms on the warship, once fired, it is difficult to get close, if you want to burn the sails, I am afraid that the loss will be not small, the Great Khan ......, the longer and more this unwinnable battle is fought, the more unfavorable it is to my big gold" Fan Wencheng reminded, this method, he didn't think about it earlier, but the warship is not just standing there and letting you burn the target, one or two hundred steps, there are many things on the warship that can be hit, if you force the sails of the elite fight, this is obviously not a thing to row, The warships of the Ming Dynasty are on the water, Dajin has no warships, and it is always impossible to cause much loss to the warships, and once the warships are fired, Dajin must have losses, and constantly exchange the elite for the sails of the Ming Dynasty, which is obviously not a good deal, the more battles that cannot be won, the greater the damage to morale, Daikin is a bandit group supported by continuous victories, if the long-term hard use of human life to fill the sails of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of battle, the more it is fought, the more unfavorable it is to Dajin.
Huang Taiji was silent for a long time, in this case, he also calculated, Dajin did not have a warship, that is to say, it could not constitute substantial damage to the warships of the Ming Dynasty, it could only burn other people's sails, or burn a few holes in the warships of the Ming Dynasty, and the firearms on the warships of the Ming Dynasty were not as good as on land, once fired, there must be casualties, even if there were not many casualties, but over the years, it was also a large number, thinking of exchanging the sails of the Ming Dynasty with his elite troops, Huang Taiji was speechless for a long time.
There is only silence in the sweat tent, the shortcomings of Houjin, in this battle of Zhenjiang Fort, are very exposed, cannons, warships, Houjin is the same, cannons can also capture some from the Ming Dynasty, but the warships are really weak, in the face of this kind of war that can be supported from the water, immediately suffered a big loss, the siege can not be captured, the siege can not be killed, retreat and can not retreat, and it is not possible to fight for huge losses, and so on, so that Huang Taiji is very sad. ,
“…… Great Khan, in fact, this is not useless, if it comes to an extraordinary period, even if it is damaged, you have to send troops to burn the sails of the Ming Dynasty warships, as long as you can hold out until November, and when the river is sealed, the Great Worm River is a horse and a flat river, then there is no need to be afraid of the warships of the Ming Dynasty......" Fan Wencheng said again.
Huang Taiji let out a long breath and said: "It seems that it can only be like this, now, let's do what Xiantai says, first build some fireboats, cut some rolling wood, as for the loss of sealing the river, just grit your teeth and hold on, anyway, it's only a month, and it's good after this month." Before there was no better way, Huang Taiji still decided to use mounted archery to make up for Houjin's shortcomings.
"Chirp" Fan Wencheng agreed, and then withdrew.
After Fan Wencheng left, Huang Taiji walked around in the sweat tent again before shouting: "Someone's coming."
The minions outside heard it and immediately came in.
"The minions are here."
"Go and invite all the Belles, and the Ezhen will come to the Khan's tent to discuss things, and say that Ben Khan has important matters." Huang Taiji finished discussing with his advisers, and he already had a basic countermeasure, so he began to adjust his strategy.
The minion said yes and went out quickly.
……
After a while, after the gold and the big and small Baylor, the generals arrived at the sweat tent.
Everyone was preparing for war, and suddenly they heard that the Great Khan had summoned, thinking that Huang Taiji had changed his mind and did not plan to attack the city, and some people's eyes showed dissatisfaction and even resentment towards Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji's hands were already bandaged, and he sat there calmly.
"Great Khan, but changed your mind? No more sieges? An anxious man shouted.
Everyone looked at Huang Taiji, seeing what Huang Taiji said, the big golden soldiers outside, their emotions were about to get out of control, and if they didn't attack the city, they were afraid that someone would hand them the knife.
Huang Taiji also said with a hint of ferocity: "Who said that you won't attack the city?" Stand up for Ben Khan, who must make him into jerky and hang him on the flagpole. ”
Huang Taiji's words, everyone below was silent, according to the words of his own Great Khan, he supported the siege of the city.
“…… However, the siege of the city has to be arranged how to attack, you can't go up in a swarm to die, then you haven't seen the grenades of the Ming Dynasty, and my Dajin warriors are not taken to death in vain. Huang Taiji said fiercely.
When the crowd heard this, their emotions began to float again.
"Ben Khan has already thought of an excellent siege method, and if this method is successful, then Zhenjiang Fort can be destroyed in one go."
When everyone listened, their emotions calmed down a little.
