Chapter 80: Bombardment of Forts
An hour later.
Wu strode the charcoal into Huang Degong's admiral's line.
"Shengshang, it seems that Jiannu has really withdrawn, and he has retreated to three miles away without collecting at night."
While speaking, Tian Xiong also walked in, and reported happily: "Holy Lord, the number of enemies killed has come out, and a total of fifty-six Jiannu have been killed, all of them are real slaves, including one Baijia!" ”
In fact, Jiannu died more than that.
But military merit must be counted according to the number of heads.
As for whether it is a real slave or the Eight Banners Han Army, it is easy to identify, just look at the armor.
Because the armor rate of real slaves is extremely high, almost everyone wears armor, and the most is cotton armor.
The armor rate of the Eight Banners Han Army is very low, and the armor is basically cotton armor, and there is very little iron armor.
"Beautiful!" Chongzhen nodded happily, and said to Wang Chengen, "Wang Daban, you go and take 2,800 taels of silver and distribute it to the soldiers who participated in this battle, and divide it equally according to the head." ”
"The old slave commands." Wang Chengen agreed to move the silver.
Chongzhen said to Huang Degong again: "Jing Nanbo, although there is a high probability that Jiannu will not come again tonight, it is better to be careful, so the lantern soldiers on the periphery must be vigilant." ”
It turned out that the red lantern they saw before was used as a warning.
After seeing this red lantern, the Ming army on the platform in front of it will withdraw as soon as possible, but the four platforms on the left and right sides and the side and rear will gather a large number of firearms to meet the head after Jiannu enters the hub.
Coming out of the admiral's line, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but ask Chongzhen: "Father, there is something unknown about the sons. ”
"Do you want to ask, during the day, I just told you that you can't concentrate firearms on the periphery of the platform, but at night my father slapped himself in the face?"
"Yes, please ask my father to solve his doubts."
"Because there is cover at night, Jiannu can't see the movement of our troops and firearms, and therefore make targeted countermeasures, so on the premise of predicting the direction of Jiannu's main attack, we can boldly concentrate troops and firearms to give Jiannu the maximum damage, but not during the day."
"In other words, you can't stick to the rules?"
"Of course, nothing can be done in a conventional way."
As he spoke, the father and son and the accompanying team of Yiding came to a platform.
"Hong'er, Jiong'er, let's stay here tonight." After Chongzhen finished speaking, he took the lead in walking up the back steps to the platform.
The Ming army on the platform slept on the ground because of the heat and did not enter the bunker, so when they saw Chongzhen's father and son walking up surrounded by Yiding, they turned over and sat up.
"Holy!" The soldiers cast a look of reverence.
"Okay, everyone's had a hard day, hurry up and rest."
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he took his two sons and sat on the straw mat.
The army is hard, and it would be good for the low-level soldiers to have straw mats.
Even if Chongzhen had the heart to improve the conditions of the army, he was not in a hurry.
After a while, snoring sounded one after another on the platform.
Only the fierce rabbit who was on duty as a guard disappeared into the shadows with a team of Yiding, and kept looking around the platform with vigilant eyes.
……
Chongzhen had already fallen asleep, and he slept very soundly.
But Baiyintu, Aobai, and Yabulan, and even the entire Jiannu with yellow flags could no longer sleep.
After returning to the camp in disgrace, Bai Yintu rarely did not blame Aobai, because he also realized that Ao Bai was not to blame for the failure of the camp tonight, and the responsibility was all on him.
Bai Yintu asked, "Ao Bai, what the hell is going on?" ”
Ao Bai told the previous story from the beginning.
After listening to Bai Yintu, his expression became solemn: "That is to say, after entering the formation of the Ming army, no matter where we are, we will be bombarded by the Ming army's tiger squatting artillery, right?" ”
"It's just my suspicion." "I'm not sure. ”
Bai Yintu said: "But it is an indisputable fact that the annular trench on the periphery of the platform and the connecting passage between the platform and the platform were all bombarded by the Ming army. ”
"Yes." Ao Bai nodded heavily, "We have nowhere to hide. ”
"In that case, it's going to be troublesome." Baiyintu pulled out a dagger from his elbow pad, then crouched down and drew a map on the ground with the dagger, first drawing a large circle.
Ao Bai and Yabran followed and crouched down.
Bai Yintu pointed to the drawn circle and said: "According to the situation detected by the Ye Bu Shui Station, the area within a radius of ten miles in front of it is full of Ming army's towers, not to mention thousands. ”
After all, there is no way to overlook it from above.
So the Baiyin diagram overestimates the number of guns.
"Although there are not many Ming Dynasty defenders in each of the towers,"
"But there are too many of them that can't stand the platform."
"Let's push it over one by one,"
"How long does that have to be delayed? Not necessarily in a year. ”
"What your lord said is very true." Ao Bai thought so, "Just push forward at the speed of four guns a day, and it will take more than 200 days and more than half a year to get a thousand guns." ”
"We can't afford that long."
"Definitely, or you won't let the two white flags laugh to death."
"So the question is, how to break the situation now?"
The three Jiannu fell into deep thought, but after thinking for a long time, they gained nothing.
In the end, it was Yabran who said: "Two adults, why don't you call Zu Zerun and a few of their Hanchens over?" These Han Chinese have always been cunning, and they may be able to come up with useful tricks. ”
"Yes, call them." Bai Yintu said happily.
Soon, Zu Zerun, Geng Jimao, and Gao Di were all called over.
and Wang Aoyong, who was appointed by Dolgon to come to Shandong to appease him, also took the initiative to follow.
After listening to the explanation of the Baiyin map, Zu Zerun, Geng Jimao and Gao Di looked at each other, how did the tactics of the Ming army feel so familiar? It seems to be similar to the tactics they used in Ningyuan Jinzhou before? It's just that the Ming army here built more humble platforms, but the number is much larger.
Wang Aoyong asked Bai Yintu: "Lord Bai Yintu, you said that there are only a few dozen Ming Dynasty defenders in each of the towers?" There are only a few dozen firearms and two tiger squat guns? ”
"Yes." Bai Yintu asked, "What is the opinion of Wang Shilang?" ”
"Lord Bai Yintu is serious." Wang Aoyong said with a flattering face, "I don't have any high opinions here, but there is still a little bit of shallow opinion, maybe I can help adults." ”
"Phew!" Ao Bai patted the case and said angrily, "You guys just talk a lot of, just say it directly." ”
"Uh, yes, yes." Wang Aoyong was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "In fact, it is not difficult to crack the Ming army's platform, just transfer more Han troops, one platform is only a few dozen Ming Dynasty defenders, and my Qing Dynasty sent tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Han troops to attack the outermost platform at the same time, then the Ming army has no chance to support each other." ”
"This?" Aobai, Baiyintu, and Yabran were stunned for a moment, which they didn't expect.
Because Jiannu has always practiced the doctrine of elite soldiers, every time dozens of Eight Banner soldiers die in battle, it will make the banner owners of each banner feel distressed for a long time.
So they really can't think of crowd tactics.
Yes, what Wang Aoyong said was the tactics of fighting the crowd with the Ming army.
No matter how exquisitely the Ming army's guntai formation is designed, "my Daqing soldiers" don't follow your rhythm at all, and directly invest ten times or even twenty times the number of troops, and directly attack all the guntais in the outermost part at the same time, so that the peripheral guntais will not be able to support each other.
And the tiger squat cannon that relies on the second heavy platform alone has a dead end.
Therefore, the "Great Qing Soldiers" can be peeled back layer by layer.
"Wonderful!" Ao Bai and Bai Yintu are still knowledgeable, and they are admired at the same time.
Gao Di, Zu Zerun, and Geng Jimao cast angry glances at Wang Aoyong.
Damn, bring in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Han troops to attack at the same time? It's not you civil servants who died together, right? Is it true that the life of our Han army is not life?
Bai Yintu sighed and said, "It's a pity that this method doesn't work." ”
This method really doesn't work, at least not now, because there aren't enough Han troops.
This time, in addition to the 3,000 people of the Zhenghuangqi Han army, there were only 3,000 troops from Gaodi, and now the two Han armies add up to only 5,000, which is not a crowd tactic at all.
"You dogs just have a lot of ghost ideas." Ao Bai scolded, "Is there any other way besides this?" ”
The smile on Wang Aoyong's face became more flattering and more humble: "Lord Aobai, in addition to this method, then you can only use the Hongyi cannon to bombard, and directly bomb the Ming army's guntai." ”
"The Hongyi cannon is useless." Yabulan said, "There is a slope protection in front of the Ming army's platform, and it can't be hit." ”
"No, no, no, you can fight." Wang Aoyong said, "Our Qing soldiers can build a high platform outside the slope protection of the Ming army's platform, and then put the Hongyi cannon on the high platform to bombard the platform condescendingly, so it is more powerful." ”
"That's a good idea." Aobai's eyes lit up, "I didn't bring the Hongyi cannon, but I brought the Franc cannon, and the No. 1 Franc cannon should be enough." ”
"That's it." Bai Yintu hit the knot hard, and said to Gao Di, "General Gao, I will leave it to you to build a high platform, and you must build 15 forts two feet high in one day!" ”
"Ah, a day?" Gaudi was stunned when he heard this.
"How?" Ao Bai said coldly, "How many days do you want it?" ”
"No, no, no problem." Gao Di hurriedly changed his words, "It must be repaired within a day." ”
Seeing Zu Zerun and the other three leave, Ao Bai couldn't help but spit out thick phlegm, and snorted: "These Ming dogs are cheap, if you don't give them some power, you won't be on the road, it's true." ”
"Aobai, can you not open your mouth and open your mouth to open your mouth and shut up the dog."
Bai Yintu frowned and said: "The first emperor and the regent have repeatedly said that we must respect the Han people, especially the Eight Banners Han Army, and we must try to treat them as our own people. ”
"Treat him as one of our own?" Ao Bai said with great disdain, "I can't do it." ”
"You." Bai Yintu shook his head a little helplessly, and persuaded again, "The former emperor is no longer here, and you really should change your temperament, otherwise you will suffer sooner or later." ”
