Chapter 164: Houjin Annihilation Battle (End)

The Ming side mobilized 15,000 people to come and confront Houjin under the checkpoint.

It's not that I don't want more, but I don't have it. In the previous war, Daming also lost a lot, more injuries, and is still recuperating in the rear at the moment. However, Houjin is not much better, at the moment the entire front line is in an empty state, if the Ming Dynasty does not know how to expand the territory, then it is really stupid.

"Once upon a time, our Ming Dynasty built these thirteen mountain passes in order to resist the southward movement of Houjin or Goryeo. At that time, when it was built, it took a lot of manpower and material resources, thinking that this was a natural danger in the world, and others would not want to enter it. But I didn't want to have that day, but I was taken away by Houjin. Looking at the towering city wall, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Seriously, it is precisely because of this level that it is not very convenient to attack Houjin. They've modified the levels, and what was supposed to be against them has become a defense against us. If it is a regular battle, I am afraid that as before, without paying the lives of 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, there will be no way to build this city wall. "Wu Sangui, as a 'local', naturally has the most right to speak.

"But now it's different, even on a high wall, even a strong city wall is vulnerable to artillery. And as the power of the artillery grows, in the end, it becomes pointless to defend the city. There is actually no difference between the city wall and something, there is and there is not. "Hong Chengchou sees the future, and what he sees is that under the new war, the old defensive mode has been completely eliminated.

"But it's not necessarily useless to close the wall, don't you see the Hongyi cannon on it? Because of that, we have to ...... far away in our formation," Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the five Hongyi cannons on the city wall.

"It's just five cannons, are our cannons afraid of them?" Man Gui was a little dissatisfied.

"If it's a solid bullet, I'm not afraid, but what if it's a flowering bullet? The reason why the level is called a checkpoint is that it is built in an important place, and there are lofty mountains on both sides, and our artillery can't pull it up at all. Our team is completely unable to stretch out. But the other side can be condescending and can shoot the cannonball very far. Lu Xiangsheng replied.

Man Gui heard it and looked at it, it was indeed red, as Lu Xiangsheng said, the environment at the moment was indeed not conducive to the attack of the Ming army.

"Then what are you going to do, don't you fight?" Man Gui was a little entangled.

"Naturally, we have to fight, but we can't send them to death in a swarm. I built a few people to rush to that side quickly with a ladder, and at the same time with a small group of grenadiers and firecrackers to respond, as long as they reach the city wall, the opponent's artillery will be useless, and as long as our people can climb the city wall, that is easy to say! Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said.

"I mean, our artillery may not be as powerful as the other party's Hongyi cannons, right? Besides, we used flowering bullets, and the power of gunpowder was also greater than that of black powder used in the post-gold tartars. According to me, just try to launch a few times, and if you can hit the opponent's wall, you can cover our people, right? If we directly break the other party's wall, our people don't need to build a ladder, and they can rush in directly. Sun Chuanting gave an opinion.

"It's not a bad idea, try it!" Lu Xiangsheng's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed.

Immediately, Sun Chuanting immediately found a good position and instructed the artillerymen to use those imitation or directly purchased Napoleonic guns for debugging.

At this time, the other party obviously realized Da Ming's intentions and immediately fired the cannonball.

It's just that the firing range of their shells has obviously been interpreted by Sun Chuanting and landed near the Ming artillery, and as expected, the first shot was indeed a solid shell.

It was indeed dangerous for the cannonball to roll on the ground, but Sun Chuanting had been prepared for a long time, and he had people dig a lot of potholes in the vicinity before the official shooting, but the cannonball rolled directly into it, which was completely useless.

Seeing that the artillery was debugged, the first round of test firing of the Ming army began.

The artillery hit directly in front of the level, less than ten meters away.

"Keep adjusting, fuck it!" I have to say that I have been a soldier for a long time, and Sun Chuanting's dirty words also blurted out.

The artillery did have reservations before, but now that further debugging has been completed, the second round of test firing resulted that more than 90% of the shells directly hit the wall, and the remaining 10% flew over the wall and fell inside. However, this time, Sun Chuanting was uneasy and kind, and used flowering bullets.

The shells exploded, and it is not known how many Houjin will die.

"Gotcha, you guys attack it, don't think about coming up alone with me in Houjin!" Sun Chuanting said to the people beside him.

The rest is easy to say, Sun Chuanting continued to bombard the city wall, and the large army began to get closer, and the rushing car was also ready to break down at any time.

When the army was about to reach the city gate, the city wall, which was not made of cement as a building material, finally collapsed under the bombardment, at least a hole. The Ming army didn't even need to break the door, they could directly kill it through the mouth.

It's just that the whole process seems to be very easy, at least not at all when it encounters Houjin's desperate resistance.

It wasn't until everyone went in that they found that Houjin had already gone to the empty building, and the only people who really stayed were a few people on the city wall who were responsible for firing the cannons.

Come to think of it, Huang Taiji also knew that the city wall was not safe, and Houjin was not good at defending the city, so he simply gave up the checkpoint.

Da Ming Shun advanced a level, and a new siege idea was naturally imprinted in the minds of the generals who participated in the war.

Originally thinking of continuing the pursuit, they did not want to wait three days, when they received a letter telling them to withdraw their troops.

Just because, Chongzhen received a letter from Houjin Taiji. The letter confirmed that the Houjin was abolished as a state and changed to the Houjin tribe. Huang Taiji also handed over his jade seal, calling himself a khan, and like a minister of the Ming Dynasty, the first batch of tributes was also escorted.

In other words, the Houjin is gone, and some are just Manchu tribes, so there is nothing left in the national war.

Since there is no longer a national war, then the people in the south can go north.

In order to avoid such a situation, Lu Xiangsheng and the others must come back.

TMD knew at a glance that it was Houjin's Yangmou, but the reason why Yangmou called it Yangmou was that there was nothing he could do about it if he knew it.

In a war to destroy Jin, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, but in fact, it was neither lost nor won, which made people entangled.

At the same time, in Shengjing, Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng at the next place and sighed.

At the critical moment, it is still the Han people who have a good mind. A minister is nominally unpleasant, but he can give Houjin more than ten years of luck. Next, the Later Jin will continue to increase the conquest of Mongolia against Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom.

When the national strength is restored, it will naturally be the time for Houjin to continue to recover!

The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, Daming, you wait!!
