Chapter 132: Jiannu is going crazy
In the autumn of the first year of the Apocalypse, the wild boar skin ordered the massacre of the Han people in Liaodong, and a large number of Han people in Liaodong died tragically under the butcher's knife of the wild boar skin, but the slaughter of the Han people by the wild boar skin did not make the guerrilla war subside, but had a tendency to intensify.
In the process of the slaughter of Han people by wild boar skins, a large number of professional guerrillas of the Dongjiang Army almost attacked in an all-round way, and launched an in-depth guerrilla war with wild boar skins in Liaodong.
In the course of the battle, the guerrillas achieved great successes, rescuing nearly 150,000 Han people from the Liaodong region and causing further damage to the production of Jiannu. However, Jiannu also reacted quickly, causing the guerrillas of the Dongjiang Army to suffer considerable losses, and more than 1,000 guerrilla soldiers were killed in a few months. However, there were more than 2,000 Jiannu killed and wounded. In the course of the battle, not too many military targets were captured, and the focus was on rescuing the people of Liaodong.
The rescue operation was a great success overall.
After a large number of Han people were rescued, they resolutely joined the guerrillas, and soon infiltrated behind enemy lines in groups of three or five and began to carry out continuous attacks on Jiannu.
Jiannu and his subordinates were simply driven crazy by this kind of guerrilla warfare, and after a slaughter, there was no effect at all. The Hermes-Epitek, who had only undergone a short period of training, armed with muskets and all sorts of insidious weapons, would give them a shot from time to time.
So much so that the Jiannu people have completely entered a state of being soldiers, and they have no idea where these guerrillas will be lurking and waiting for them.
This made Jiannu dare not go to the field alone, and it was easy to be destroyed by a shot when he went to the field alone. Even if you drink water, you have to be careful, these guerrillas often poison the wells that get water, and at first Jiannu was unprepared, and many of them were poisoned. In some cases, more than a dozen people were poisoned at one time.
Even if a large army goes to the field, it may step on a mine on the road. These mines may not kill people, but they are more than enough to cripple.
There are also all sorts of other pitfalls that are hard to guard against.
In the face of these guerrillas hiding in the shadows, Jiannu was almost out of options. Send a large army to encircle and suppress? Isn't this a cannon to fight mosquitoes? Moreover, during the march of the army, it is also very vulnerable to trap attacks.
But when a squad was sent to patrol or something, the forces were greatly dispersed. These Han people, who have become guerrillas, are basically the kind that are not afraid of death, and once they are glued by the Jiannu team, most of them know that there is no way to live, and they have to replace one before they die.
The reason why this kind of guerrilla warfare made Jiannu go crazy was mainly because of the flintlock pistols in the hands of these Han people.
If in the past, these Hermes-Epitek waged guerrilla warfare against them, then it would not have been so difficult to deal with at all. Because not everyone can use a bow and arrow, and to use a bow and arrow well, you have to go through long-term training, and you have to meet the standard in strength. There are not many Han people who have been engaged in agricultural production for a long time, and they can use bows and arrows.
If these Hermes-Epitek were to fight them with knives, it would be basically the same as sending them to death. The rest of the matter is to set some traps and poison them, set them on fire, etc., which is also annoying, but at least it doesn't drive them crazy.
But when these Hermes-Epitek had flintlock pistols in their hands, the result was completely different. The flintlock pistol can be reloaded, although cumbersome, but it can be reloaded in advance. No matter how slow you reload, it's okay to spend ten minutes reloading during non-combat time. And these Han people, who became guerrillas, trained for half a month on the islands controlled by the officials and soldiers of Dongjiang Town, and they were able to master the use of flintlock muskets relatively proficiently.
This allowed these Hermes-Epitek, who were not originally engaged in military activities, to shoot Jiannu by simply pulling the trigger. Especially at a distance of fifty meters, the power of the flintlock pistol is simply incomprehensible. As long as it is not missed, it is either dead or wounded. Some guerrilla Han people even dared to shoot at the large army of Jiannu. Usually they use the terrain to ambush in advance, and then run away after the fight.
Although the wild boar skins slaughtered many Han people, they could not stop the guerrillas from harassing them.
Originally, this kind of guerrilla activity can be well curbed as long as the masses of the people are mobilized, but if it were in China, it would be impossible for other countries to carry out this kind of guerrilla movement in China, because there are many Chinese, what is the use of killing a few ordinary people? But Jiannu obviously does not have this ability, because the population of Jiannu is too small.
Even the non-combatants of Jiannu are all dead and one is missing, they have such a small population, and they have to control such a huge territory.
The cost of arming these Hermes-epitek guerrillas is too low.
The cost of a flintlock pistol is very low, only about 1 yuan. The main reason is that with cheap steel, plus the production of flintlock pistols, the division of labor is parallel, which reduces the requirements for the craftsmanship of craftsmen, so that only the wages need to be paid, and there is no need to pay the craftsmen too high processing added value.
You can be engaged in guerrilla warfare after half a month of training, and the cost of arming is less than 5 silver dollars.
The non-combatants of Jiannu exchanged one with these Han people-only guerrillas, and Jiannu also suffered a loss. It's not a question of value, it's a question of who will be consumed first in the end.
In terms of cost, if these Han people are put into production, the value that can be created is much higher than that of Jiannu, but the population base is there, and in the end, Jiannu will definitely not be able to consume it.
If it is a Jiannu soldier, even if it is 1 for 5 Han people's lives, it will be a great loss, and now the Ming Dynasty is not lacking in population.
For Jiannu, it was not only a matter of people being killed or injured, but most importantly, a large number of production activities were destroyed, and these attacks and harassment activities caused a severe psychological shadow on them.
Who is still farming now?
Basically no one farms the land anymore, and they have become a gang of bandits, a group that lives by robbing and enslaving the Han people.
However, there are people who graze among the Jiannu, after all, in such a large place as Liaodong, although the utilization rate of grazing is not high, but the personal output value is significantly higher than that of farming.
Therefore, today's production model of slave construction is a farm in the city, enslaving the Han people to farm the land. The women and some men were engaged in herding or hunting.
The destructive effect of these Hermes-epitek guerrillas on the production of wild boar skins was enormous, and the wild boar skins became the main targets of attacks on farms and pastures outside the city.
The farm has to guard Hermes-Epitek and go out to farm! So how many people are appropriate to go out? If there are more people, it seems that the cost is not cost-effective, and if there are fewer people, they are afraid of being attacked. Hermes-epitek guerrillas often attacked with guns while they were overseering the slaves, and then turned around and ran. At this time, Jiannu will be embarrassed, and if you go to chase it, the Han people who work in the fields will usually scatter in a hurry and flee all over the mountains.
If you don't chase it, won't you be beaten in vain?
Normally, these Jiannu don't dare to chase after them, and who knows where one or two are in ambush?
If the terrain is open, there is no need to be afraid of being attacked. But the farm itself is also the target of the attack, and there must be someone standing guard outside the farm! These guards are likely to be targeted at night. If you don't stand guard, you can easily sneak in at night, and you can be set on fire and poisoned.
All right! I really couldn't find a loophole, and I burned the crops in the field at night, right?
Jiannu was completely dumbfounded, seeing that the autumn harvest was approaching, but the corn and soybean crops in the field were confiscated and burned. Under the effect of the wind direction, once these crops catch fire, they are basically a large area.
The lights were dark at night, and Jiannu didn't dare to go out to fight the fire. However, if the Hermes-Epitek in the farm went to put out the fire, as long as the guerrillas attacked in the shadows, these Hermes-Epitek would not take advantage of the chaos to run away. At that time, it is likely that someone will be dead, and the Hermes-Epitek in the farm will run away again.
Under the attack of the guerrillas, the basic mountain of Jiannu's farm was heavily damaged, and a large number of crops of the farm were burned, some parts were burned, and almost most of them were burned. Basically, the farms targeted by these guerrillas had to kill several people and rescue some Han people. Some farms Hermes-epitek even ran most of it.
The grazing activities of the Jiannu were even more harassed by Yan zhòng, and it was much easier to harass these herding Jiannu. Because grazing has to move around, it is impossible for Hermes-Epitek to graze, and it is easy to escape. When Jiannu herded by himself, when there were more people, it was not the sheep herding, but the sheep herding. Therefore, grazing is destined to be impossible to have many people, and it is very easy to attack. As long as you lie in ambush and wait for it to come closer, you will be shot and killed.
As a result, after an autumn guerrilla war, the grazing activities of Jiannu were greatly reduced.
In the end, Jiannu could only deal with these guerrillas by dispatching elite squads, and then continuing to search for traces of the guerrillas in the field. This trick was somewhat effective at first, and those guerrillas who had only received short-term training were no match for the elite squad of Jiannu in field encounters. As long as Jiannu's elite squad blocks the road, these Han Ming guerrillas will be very difficult to handle. After all, Jiannu had slaughtered so many Han people, and the guerrillas were either to get supplies from the enemy or to return to Dongjiang Town.
At the beginning, when Jiannu did not send a large number of elite teams, the road in the field was basically swaggering. After Jiannu's elite squad was dispatched in large numbers, the guerrillas could only return to Dongjiang Town by day and night, and by taking small roads.
Dongjiang Town also took countermeasures, that is, it also sent an elite guerrilla team to look for traces of the Jiannu elite team in the field, eliminate the other party in the encounter, and pick up the Han Min guerrillas and the rescued Han people.
Jiannu's elite squad was basically a group of ten, looking for Han Ming guerrillas everywhere. The regular guerrillas of the Dongjiang Army, in order to deal with these elite squads of Jiannu, began to use 20 to 30 people as a squad.
Soon the two sides began to engage in frequent encounters in the wild areas of eastern Liaodong. In these encounters, the Dongjiang Army, with its sophisticated equipment and the will to fight bravely without fear of sacrifice, fought with Jiannu with blood for blood and life. Jiannu's elite squad was able to fight the Dongjiang Army guerrillas well at first, but it didn't take long for them to be frightened by the Dongjiang Army's guerrillas.
You must know that the guerrillas of the Dongjiang Army are all bitter and bitter enemies with Jiannu. And all of them are extremely strong Han people, the physique of the Han people in Liaodong is very strong, which is created by the geographical environment, and these Han people who joined the guerrilla army have been selected for a while, and their physique is even more outstanding.
Because these guerrilla armies were formed to deal with small-scale fighting, their training methods were different from those of the Beijing battalion, which only had to practice long guns, platoon guns, and changes in military formations, and the requirements for individual martial arts were not high. The guerrilla army, on the other hand, mainly trains martial arts and conducts small-scale coordinated operations.
Since ancient times, the magic weapon of the Chinese infantry has been martial arts. Before the Tang Dynasty, because of the popularity of Wai Danshu, there were many fierce generals. In the Tang Dynasty, those medicinal materials were dug up, and the gate valve was also hit, so there were relatively few fierce generals or something. However, it is still very useful for ordinary soldiers to practice martial arts.
After these strong guerrilla soldiers practiced martial arts, their strength had increased rapidly, and when they encountered Jiannu's elite squad, coupled with Ken's hard work, their equipment was even better than that of Jiannu, and they were not inferior at all.
Shuangfa often encounters in the wilderness, roads, and mountains, and this kind of small-scale fight is even more tragic. Even if the guerrilla army is defeated, it usually fights to the last man, and it is desperate to pull a cushion. Under this style of play, soon Jiannu's elite squads were often defeated on the spot when they encountered the guerrillas in Dongjiang Town.
In the past few months, the guerrillas relied on this method of fighting to kill nearly 2,000 Jiannu, and at the same time received and rescued 150,000 Han people.
At this time, the wild areas of the Liaodong Peninsula had become a world of guerrillas, and they could basically walk on the official road with swagger.
After all, the field is too big, and the large army of Jiannu is gathered together to deal with the guerrillas, and how many can they deal with? When the guerrillas see that they can't hit the right shot, they will naturally run.
They sent out on a small scale, but they were again killed and wounded by the guerrillas in Dongjiang Town. Production in the field was constantly harassed, and the guerrillas in Dongjiang Town basically uprooted all the farms and pastures of Jiannu on the Liaodong Peninsula. The Hermes-epitek guerrillas, on the other hand, have already covered Shenyang and other areas in the area of activity, but they are far away, and there are not too many guerrillas who have been lurking in the past for the time being.
The wilderness of the Liaodong Peninsula was already barren at this time.
Hermes-Epitek in the wilderness was either killed or rescued. Compared with the Hanmes-Epitek near Shenyang, most of the Han-Epitek on the Liaodong Peninsula were rescued.
The barren land is full of bones, and wild dogs are scurrying around in the field. Both the Jiannu and the Ming Dynasty are now unable to carry out production on the Liaodong Peninsula. Because whichever side is engaged in production here will become the target of the other side's attack and plunder.
In such a situation, those cities on the Liaodong Peninsula would be very embarrassing for Jiannu. The outside of the city gradually became the world of the guerrillas, the suburbs could not carry out production, and the supplies of the people in the city had to be transferred from other places.
On the order of the wild boar skin, he came to the Liaodong Peninsula to guard against the blue banner of the Dongjiang Army, and under the leadership of Amin, he drove into the Zhenjiang area, and there was absolutely nothing he could do about the behavior of the Dongjiang Town guerrilla army focusing on uprooting the farms and pastures in the field of Jiannu. After being killed and wounded more than 2,000 people, Amin suddenly felt that the current situation was extremely embarrassing.
The various cities on the Liaodong Peninsula basically had no effect on Jiannu at this time. There was no one here to produce anymore, and Hermes-Epitek was either dead or rescued. The figures that can be found are basically the guerrillas of the Ming army in addition to the guerrillas of the Ming army.
Instead, Amin hoped to seize the main force of the Dongjiang Army for a decisive battle to eliminate the threat from the Dongjiang Army. However, the Dongjiang Army looked extremely slippery, and Amin couldn't grasp the main force of the Dongjiang Army at all. Facing the vast sea, Jiannu could only look at the ocean and sigh.
There was no advantage in the small-scale fighting, and field production was basically wiped out. These cities are neither productive nor have a looting target. And they are still fighting with the Ming army for such a territory, Amin can't help but hesitate, whether to give up this area of the Liaodong Peninsula?
For this reason, Amin asked for instructions from the wild boar skin, but was reprimanded by the wild boar skin.
Wild Boar Skin is still a bit militarily minded, and he has clearly found that once the Ming army sets foot on the Liaodong Peninsula and can threaten them from this direction, it will have a great restraining effect on them. Once this containment is formed, they will not be able to send all their large forces to loot.
The Ming army has already regained its strength on the front line of Quang Ninh, and if the troops are too small, they will not be able to grab anything in the past. Therefore, when the wild boar skin saw that Amin had no way to curb the development of the Dongjiang Army at this time, he was naturally a little furious. Amin also wanted to throw the Liaodong Peninsula to the Ming army, but naturally he hit the muzzle of the gun and was severely trained.
"Even if it's useless, hold on." Wild Boar Skin finally gave an order to Amin, but Wild Boar Skin didn't expect that this order quickly cost the blue flag led by Amin.
After nearly half a year of training and the reorganization of the Beijing camp, Mao Wenlong already had 30,000 regular troops at this time, of which 20,000 were frontal combat troops.
And the blue flag led by Amin only has about 10,000 troops.
The Dongjiang Army was not short of training, especially an infantry division transferred from Beijing, which was well-equipped and ready to use. In Mao Wenlong's view, it's time to take the initiative.
After some deduction, the Dongjiang Town Staff Department found that the situation at this time was obviously an opportunity to take advantage of. said to Mao Wenlong: "Now Jiannu's impression of our Ming officials and soldiers is still in the previous state of vulnerability. The slave chieftain Amin was even more anxious to destroy the main force of our Dongjiang army. In this case, we will first mobilize the blue flag of Jiannu, and use the method of encirclement to attract the main force of Jiannu to our predetermined decisive battle area, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop. ”
The Dongjiang Army is a new army, and its names have all been changed by Zhu Youxiao. The army praised the painting, and at this time the title was also changed to a staff officer, and a staff department was established. The staff headquarters of the Dongjiang Army was obviously much more professional than that of the traditional Ming Army, and the allocation of personnel was also much larger.
Mao Wenlong carefully analyzed the situation, the situation is indeed extremely favorable, since the establishment of the Dongjiang Army, it has been fighting guerrilla warfare, and the main force has not yet been dispatched, and it is time to take the initiative to attack at this time.
"Okay." Mao Wenlong nodded and decided, "The General Staff will come up with a detailed battle plan immediately. (To be continued.) )
