Chapter 126: The Battle of Ningyuan (4)
Today's first shift, the second shift is a little later, I can't wait for the drop of emperor shoes to please wash and sleep in the well
eneb; Is it really that simple, in fact?
Di Haonan didn't know, because compared to Yuan Chonghuan, Deng Haonan was even more on paper. Of course, Na Haonan knew the outcome of this war. Therefore, he is much more confident than Yuan Chonghuan.
Zu Dashou stepped forward and said, "My lord doesn't know!" The red-coated cannon has just arrived from Shanhaiguan. I only heard that it is infinitely powerful in the capital, but I have not seen it. And Gaudí only gave us artillery, but did not allocate the standard shells and gunpowder. We had to bring in old shells and gunpowder from Kyaw Wah Island. Second, our sergeants here have just been trained, and the military budget is tight in peacetime, and they are worried about the power of the artillery with their shoes. Didn't dare to start the artillery drill. Therefore, the accuracy of the sergeant's cannon is greatly reduced! ”
Gao Di ordered the defenders outside the pass to withdraw to the pass. But Yuan Chonghuan refused to retreat and stubbornly defended Ningyuan, so he naturally wanted to offend Gao Di. Gao Di was forced by the pressure of the soldiers of the three armies, so he allocated a red-coated cannon to Yuan Chonghuan, but detained the cannonballs to coerce Yuan Chonghuan into submission.
There are imported redcoat cannons but no imported shells? In order to prevent the detection of the power of the artillery and the deployment of fire, did not fire excessively? The sergeant has just been trained, but his gunnery is not up to par?
No way!
Di Haonan rolled his eyes and blurted out, "How did you kill Nurhachi?" ”
As soon as Deng Haonan spoke, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, Tang Jing and others, as well as all the nearby generals and officials, were stunned, and time and space seemed to stand still at this moment.
History was revealed by accident. Di Haonan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly changed his words: "Uh, that's what my official said"
Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly said: "The subordinates understand what the adults mean!" The adults wanted to kill Nurhachi. To relieve the siege of Ningyuan? The adults are thinking about the lower officials, and the lower officials all understand! ”
Zu Dashou said: "Please also order Yang Qi, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to transport cannonballs and gunpowder to Ningyuan!" ”
"Please give the order!"
The generals shouted in unison.
Di Haonan saw that the other party didn't doubt what he just said, he just thought that he was speaking quickly and incoherently.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart and said, "This, naturally!" ”
Saying that, Deng Haonan turned his head to look at Tang Jing, and Tang Jing understood. Called two Jinyi guards and instructed them to return to Shanhaiguan to convey the orders of the minister, and at the same time, Na Haonan specially instructed to ask for the requisition of those fierce fire oil tanks, bombardment cannons, thunderbolt cannons, poisonous fireballs, etc.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and they complimented Di Haonan one after another.
Na Haonan was confused in his heart, was history written wrong, or has history changed?
Tang Jing said suddenly: "When your Excellency was in Shanhaiguan, you know firearms very well, and you have the intention to kill Nurhachi just now, so it is better for your lords and generals to give you a few tactics to deal with the enemy, so that we can open our eyes!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and others hurriedly drank.
Tang Jing's words seemed flattering, but in fact, Deng Haonan understood in his heart that he should be a dead spy sent by Zhu Youxiao to spy on him.
However, Deng Haonan is now far away from Gyeonggi. He was also in power, and he had his own fleet to answer outside. Even Tang Jing can't help it!
At this time, Deng Haonan was already furious in his heart, and originally thought that Yuan Chonghuan had won the battle of Ningyuan, so he dared to come here. Now Deng Haonan understands Ning Yuan's situation at this time, Yuan Chonghuan fought for the first time, and the red-coated cannon did not use imported flowering shells, how could he kill Nurhachi with solid shells alone? A soldier has no experience in handling guns, so how can he kill and injure a large number of shoes?
Why did he win? Could it be that a blind cat has run into a dead mouse? Pure luck?
What's the problem?
A series of question marks and puzzles made Deng Haonan feel a headache.
Fighting by luck? Di Haonan never dared to think like this!
Therefore, at this time, Deng Haonan began to think in his heart.
Slip away? Or stay?
If he slipped away, Deng Haonan was a little reluctant, because he was about to take the opportunity to introduce his friend "Deng Haonan" to the imperial court, and with the help of the imperial court's rights, he would be a "pirate" openly
But if you stay, then you have to bear the variables that Ningyuan City may have. Maybe it's a bloody battle of life and death, and when the time comes, it's still unknown whether the traverser can survive, because Deng Haonan doesn't exist in history, he is a variable.
Just like an unknown variable in equation solving, it just acts as a bridge, and this can be replaced by other 、、,,.
If you stay, you'll have to figure it out yourself!
That Hao Nan will not give his flesh and blood to the luck that does not know when!
What to do?
Na Haonan had already ordered the mobilization of the cannonballs and projectiles that were standard with the red-coated cannon from Shanhaiguan, so the weapons had been resolved.
The weapon problem is solved, and all that remains is manpower. It's useless to have red-coated cannons and shells alone, Zu Dashou said that most of Ning Yuan's soldiers were locals recruited by Yuan Chonghuan, and they were not good at using artillery. It seems that these people are all the same as Yuan Chonghuan. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so he followed Yuan Chonghuan to guard Ningyuan, and when they were fierce in the wheel, they couldn't run away if they wanted to, so they could only break the jar and fight.
Di Haonan wouldn't expect these people to fire the cannons. Expecting them to kill Nurhachi, he didn't believe it at all.
Suddenly, he thought of his own fleet, so he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, my officer's friend Deng Haonan is a good gunner, and for today's plan, we need skilled gunners to fire guns, what do you think?" ”
Yuan Chonghuan looked at the other generals, Zu Dashou and the others glanced at each other, nodded at Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan then said: "My lord is acting on behalf of the sky, and there is no other good way for me to wait at the moment." It's up to the adults to decide! ”
"Good!" Di Haonan nodded, called his own people, and told him to contact Shi Jianfei and the others. Ask them to send more gunners to help, and by the way, transfer the six numbers of the moon brought by the big bull to protect themselves. In addition, 1,000 officers and soldiers of the 6th Combat Brigade of the Navy were sent to reinforce Shen Ao and help defend the city.
Everyone was surprised to hear that Deng Haonan had such a powerful power, but now that their heads were pinned to the waistband of their trousers, they were naturally happy to have more strength.
Only Tang Jing's expression couldn't see anything, no surprise, no surprise, just silence.
Di Haonan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and said in his heart: After Lao Tzu's army comes, he is not afraid of anything, even if he recognizes Lao Tzu's identity, what can he do?
Immediately smiled: "Deputy Dutong Tang, I don't know if you still remember the bet between us?" ”
Tang Jing arched his hand and said, "Naturally! If the adult kills Nurhachi, the lower official is willing to lead the horse and pick up the stool for the adult from now on! ”
That Hao Nan laughed secretly in his heart, you are counting, wait to regret it!
Yuan Chonghuan and the others were shocked, it seemed that Xiao Qincha, who was not a husband at the age in front of him, had already made a gambling contract with Tang Jing and was ready to kill Nurhachi.
"No wonder your lord is so confident, Xia Guan is full of confidence in defending Ning Yuan at this time!" Zu Dashou and the others were naturally happy, and it seemed that the minister in front of him was not just talking. If he asked the Han general in front of the palace to lead the horse and pick up the stool for him, wouldn't that be equivalent to the treatment of the emperor?
If he dares to make such a bet, what kind of power will he have behind him?
Could it be Wei Zhongxian?
Thinking of what Wei Zhongxian had done, Zu Dashou's expression suddenly dimmed.
At this time, Deng Haonan had already decided to stay in his heart, and he wanted to witness this historical event with his own eyes.
"Lord Yuan!" Di Haonan said: "When will the shoes arrive at Ningyuan City?" ”
Yuan Chonghuan said: "Back to the adult's words, according to the Malay report, the shoes have broken through the left of Ningyuan. Tomorrow will go to Jinxi Zhai'er Mountain Fort and Wanghaitai, the fastest tomorrow evening can arrive, the attack time should be the morning after tomorrow! ”
Na Haonan nodded and said, "We still have a day now, and now I want to take everyone to do something!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan asked, "What's the matter?" Your Excellency just tells you to! ”
Na Haonan smiled confidently, "Since you are here, I will teach you how to shoot * guns!" Let me see for you how I killed Nurhachi! ”
※※
With Di Haonan sitting in Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan can only be Deng Haonan's younger brother, and he is called by Di Haonan and is very busy.
Na Haonan naturally did not teach them to operate the artillery himself, but to prepare for the upcoming artillery battle.
As we all know, later artillery was equipped with advanced sighting systems and accurate map coordinates. And in the Ming Dynasty, this idea was a fantasy. However, as an artillery expert, Deng Haonan can use existing resources to prepare for war.
First, Deng Haonan reorganized the army in Ningyuan City, Yuan Chonghuan originally had 20,000 troops, after Di Haonan ordered to stop retreating, he collected more than 7,000 retreating troops before and after, and transferred 10,000 young people from more than 60,000 ordinary people to form 37,000 defenders.
Why are there so many young and strong people? The reason is simple, there are godson cavalry chasing after them. It is difficult for the old and weak to run so far, and the people who can escape are basically young and strong.
The first job of these 37,000 troops was to go out of the city with tools and dig trenches.
Of course, that's what they're called. Deng Haonan's written name is to calibrate the circle of the ground to provide precise coordinates for artillery shooting.
Obviously, from Yuan Chonghuan to the soldiers. No one knows what is meant by the demarcation of the circle of the ground and the coordinates of the shelling.
On the map of Ningyuan, Na Haonan drew plane coordinates with horizontal and vertical lines at equal intervals, and marked the coordinates with a red pen the possible attack direction of the shoes and the position of the troops. The whole plane coordinate system takes the drum tower in the middle of Ningyuan City as the central origin, and takes the length of five miles as the radius.
Five miles is actually the biggest limit, and the red-coated cannon is just the foreign trade type of the Dutch Westminster cannon, and its power is much worse. And the people who sent the cannon from the Beijing division described it as "an earthquake of dozens of miles, a distance of one or twenty miles, and a hole in the stone city." Killing thousands of people with one shot" is pure foolishness.
Na Haonan inspected the red-coated cannons on the city wall, and after testing the cannons, the farthest range was only about four miles. There was no way to hit the target five miles away, so Na Haonan had to send someone back to the fleet and inform Shi Jianfei to transport another batch of advanced gunpowder.
In this way, according to Deng Haonan's calculations, after using the high-strength black powder he configured, the firing range of the red-coated cannon should be able to reach five miles.
After delineating the coordinates of the map, Deng Haonan handed over the map to Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou, and the two led the soldiers and civilians to draw out a coordinate line outside the city with a long line and ash at the bottom of the pot according to Deng Haonan's requirements. Then use tools to dig a ravine half a meter deep and half a meter wide in the ground outside the city.
Because of the cold weather, the ditch meal is not easy to plan. But once it is opened, it is not easy to be destroyed, so it is just in line with Di Haonan's combat intentions.
Near the pass of the mountain and Luofeng Mountain, five miles away, Deng Haonan asked Zu Dashou.
"If you were Nurhachi, where would you choose to set up camp and arrange the Chinese army's tent?"
There is no way, Deng Haonan has no experience and knowledge of the ancient people marching and fighting, so he can only humbly learn from others little by little.
Zu Dashou thought for a while, pointed to the pass against the side of Luofeng Mountain, and said: "Generally, the big tent of the Chinese army will choose to be close to the retreat road, that is, the pass in front of you. But Nurhachi is bold by nature, he should choose to lean in the northeast corner of Ningyuan City, because there he can see the simultaneous battle situation of the northern city and the eastern city at the same time! ”
"Takami!" Di Haonan nodded and praised Zu Dashou, he actually didn't understand it at all in his heart, he was purely a layman. So he said, "Then we will prepare some gifts for Nurhachi!" ”
Na Haonan buried a lot of weapons and fireballs and thunderbolts from Shanhaiguan under the pass and a few places where Nurhachi might stay, and then scattered a lot of dirt mixed with various oils nearby. Because it is impossible to send someone over and light the fuse. Detonate this ancient "land mine" so the soil near the land mine is mixed with oil, a little sporadic open flame, when the cannonball is hit, the high-temperature cannonball will easily detonate the underground, "There are a large number of steel balls in the thunderbolt cannon, and the lethality is very large, no less than a flowering bomb." The poisonous fireball is buried shallowly, once the ground is on fire, the poisonous fireball will be ignited, silently releasing toxic smoke, killing people invisibly, Lezi will think it is ordinary smoke, and it is impossible to prevent it.
For Deng Haonan's series of "tricks", Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Zu Dashou and others were all surprised, and they all thought in their hearts that they must not offend the little seventh father-in-law.
At this time, Di Haonan touched his chin, looked at the snow on Luofeng Mountain, and muttered: "If only the mountain were higher!" ”
Man Gui asked, "Have you come up with any clever plans again?" ”
Zu Dashou rubbed his hands and said: "Yes! Tell us! Tang Jing and Yuan Chonghuan quietly followed Di Haonan's gaze on the side, looking up at their necks.
Di Zhinan said: "If the mountain is higher." Put two cannons on it, and it is estimated that an avalanche will kill a lot of shoes! ”
Tang Jing said: "Such a high level can be thought of!" Your Excellency is truly a man of God! ”
Hua Haonan shook his head and said, "It's just that there is too little snow!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan:
Man Gui:
Zu Dashou:
※※
I have to admire the work of the working people in ancient times. After a night and a morning of hard work, Deng Haonan's plane coordinates have been dug up outside the city.
Standing on the top of the drum tower, Deng Haonan looked at it, and the entire Ningyuan was like a huge spider web, and the long red-clothed cannons on Ningyuan City. Like a spider girl's claws, it stretches out, waiting for its prey to come to the door.
Around noon. Xie Yi, Jiang Chunhui, Liao Jianjun, Liu Feng, Ben Qiyu and others led 1,000 officers and men of the 6th Combat Brigade of the Navy, as well as Deng Haonan's personal 300 guards, plus 100 gunners, and five carts of gunpowder to Ningyuan City.
Na Haonan and Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui and others came out to greet him.
Xie Yi, Liu Feng and others saw Na Haonan's naturally unconcealable surprise, and hurriedly saluted Deng Haonan. Looking at the sparkle in their eyes, Na Haonan almost couldn't hold back.
Consider that now is not the time to speak. After Deng Haonan returned the salute, he hurriedly introduced Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Tang Jing and others to each other.
After some politeness, Di Haonan ordered Da Niu to bring Xie Yi and others into the city to settle down.
Yuan Chonghuan and the others looked at Di Haonan's subordinates, all of them in white bizarre military uniforms, which were very eye-catching. In addition, the military appearance is strictly organized, and it is a strong force.
"This Deng Haonan really has a set, just looking at the momentum of this army, you know that they have really been on the battlefield!"
Zu Dashou said it unabashedly.
Yuan Chonghuan asked Deng Haonan and said, "My lord." Who is this Haonan? This is not an ordinary overseas businessman's decision! I used to think it was a pirate, but this time, I saw that it was much stronger than a pirate, no worse than the regular army of the imperial court! ”
Na Haonan hurriedly explained modestly.
Man Gui said suddenly: "Could it be that the former deputy governor of the navy of this dynasty, Lord Longdi, has something to do with this Deng Haonan?"
Di Haonan smiled secretly in his heart, this Man Gui is quite able to give the right seat, but listen to him say this. Na Haonan remembered that Di Zilong was the deputy governor of the Daming Water Division who died in the Battle of Luliang, and he was a hero. So I made a secret note in my heart.
Yuan Chonghuan said: "My lord, this Deng Haonan has such a powerful power, it should be used by the imperial court!" Shouldn't the adults introduce it to the imperial court? ”
That Hao Nan smiled secretly in his heart, this is exactly Lao Tzu's purpose, otherwise Lao Tzu would not be afraid of you here!
So he smiled and said, "After this battle." Please also recommend you! The official is familiar with him, so it is inconvenient to come forward! ”
Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui and others were overjoyed and hurriedly called it good.
At this time, all the weapons and ammunition transferred from Shanhaiguan had been delivered, and were quickly placed in various forts and defenders by generals such as Man Gui and Zu Dashou.
To Deng Haonan's surprise, Yang Qi, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, sent the matching shells and gunpowder, as well as other weapons named by Deng Haonan. He also sent a weapon that surprised Deng Haonan.
A swarm of bees, a god and an arrow, this weapon almost made Deng Haonan's jaw drop in surprise.
A swarm of bees is small, "MLRS fire up to fifty gunpowder-boosted arrows at a time, not shells." The Shenyi machine arrow is a large-scale multi-mounted "multiple rocket launcher." It is said that the Shenhuo Wanquan Iron Enclosure Type uses a row of "rocket shooting vehicles" with a number of between 100 and 320 rockets, and is the earliest firearm to carry out the implementation of the firepower to cover the strike fire, firing more than one million rockets in a campaign, and the range varies from about four meters to Beimi according to the size of the cartridge and the amount of charge, and the use of the method can inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
This is precisely this weapon of mass destruction. The military expenditure of the Ming army was huge, and a Liaodong battlefield dragged down two-thirds of the Ming Dynasty's finances, and at the same time brought unprecedented pressure to the logistics supply of the Ming army. Unable to attack.
Damn it!
Na Haonan secretly scolded in his heart, with this kind of weapon of mass destruction, Ning Yuan could hold it.
At the same time, Na Haonan was thinking about something else.
If I don't show up by myself. Without his own support for Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan would not be able to hold Ning Yuan at all. However, this battle was clearly recorded in history, but Yuan Chonghuan still held Ningyuan and won the victory.
Di Haonan's worst worry was born. Could it be that Lao Tzu has been integrated into history? Could it be that Lao Tzu's final ending will be like Xiang Shaolong in "Looking for Qin", who retired to the mountains and forests and disappeared in the long river of history?
Today, I would like to thank my book friend Drifting Mansion, the banknotes flying in the wind, and the precious monthly tickets voted by Pang Di and other friends! ,F
