In a moment, Hauge's head hung on the gate.

Huang Taiji has knowledge under the spring, and it is estimated that he will have to shed a few tears.

However, in the big tent of the Chinese army, a gathering of follow-up strategies for war and defense began.

Duoduo learned to be obedient this time, and realized that the Ming army was no longer the lamb that was slaughtered by others, so he decisively gave up the practice of dictatorship of the cadres and turned to follow the eight kings to discuss the government and collectively agree on the tactics of war.

In the name of brainstorming, in fact, everyone is responsible together.

Even if you lose the battle again, the responsibility is everyone's, everyone is responsible, but there is no responsibility.

Duoduo said: "Although the defeat of Yunlong Mountain was said to be caused by Haoge's vain discussion of war and defense strategies and disturbing the morale of the army, it is undeniable that we did underestimate the determination of the Ming army to defend Xuzhou before. ”

"So how will Xuzhou fight next, or will Xuzhou still fight?"

"This king wants to hear everyone's opinions, and if you have any ideas, just say them, as long as what you say is reasonable, or the proposed strategy for war defense is feasible, this king will approve it."

As soon as the words fell, He Luohui said: "The slave thinks that Xuzhou still has to fight." ”

"Yes, Xuzhou still has to fight." Luo Luohun nodded and said, "This southern expedition is a war to destroy the country, not to hunt south, if it is just a hunt south, you can bypass Xuzhou and go deep into the south of the Yangtze River to plunder people, money, goods and livestock, but in the war of annihilation, then you must give priority to annihilating the border town of Nanming, not to mention that Chongzhen is also in Xuzhou at this time." ”

"That's right." Luck Dehun also said, "Xuzhou will continue to fight." ”

Duoduo turned his gaze to Gurmahun and asked, "What do you think, Wen Jianbeizi?" ”

Gurmahun heard that Duoduo was also inclined to fight, and immediately said, "I also think that you can't give up. ”

At this time, there are already five flags in support of fighting, and although the remaining two flags have not expressed their position, they are irrelevant.

"Okay, since most of the people support continuing to fight, then continue to fight." Duoduo slapped his thigh and said, "Then the next thing to discuss is whether to continue to choose Yunlong Mountain as a breakthrough or choose another main direction of attack?" ”

"There's no need to negotiate about that." Luo Luohun waved his hand and said, "Although the first battle of Yunlong Mountain was defeated five days ago, it was because Haoge deliberately scratched the hearts of the army, Prince Yu, there is no problem with the tactics you adopted, and the breakthrough of Yunlong Mountain is also very good, this place is the lifeline of Xuzhou!" ”

"Yes, you should continue to fight Yunlong Mountain."

The nobles of the Eight Banners, such as Luck Dehun, also echoed it.

"Okay, then let's continue to fight Yunlong Mountain." Duoduo slapped his thigh again and said, "But this time the Ming army on Yunlong Mountain has already taken precautions, so it can't kill them by surprise, so they can only attack head-on, and let the Eight Banners Han Army use the red-coated cannon to plow the two heavy platforms on the periphery." ”

……

At this time, it was in the No. 2 platform of the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain.

Zheng Sen, Xia Yunyi and Xu Yingwei have transported all the collected materials to the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain, including more than 30 large iron pots, more than 100 loads of flour and more than 100 ramie fishing nets.

Xia Yunyi ordered the two scholars to spread a fishing net.

"Holy Lord, please see." Xia Yunyi said, "This is the fishing net we used to make in the past few days. ”

Chongzhen looked at it and found that the grid of this fishing net was about an inch, and the arm must not be able to stretch out, the diameter of the whole net was about one zhang and five feet, which was more than enough to cover a two-meter man, and the material of the fishing net was ramie, so it was extremely tough, and it was absolutely impossible to tear the fishing net with bare hands.

Zhu Cijiong said curiously: "I don't know what the effect is?" ”

"Then try the effect." Chongzhen said, "Xu Yingwei will let you be a slave." ”

Although Xu Yingwei is from Zhejiang, he is nearly seven feet tall, which is not inferior to the white armor soldiers of Jiannu, and it is most suitable for him to pretend to be a white armor soldier to test the effect of fishing nets.

"Yes." Xu Yingwei did not refuse.

In order to make the simulation effect more realistic, Chongzhen asked Jin Shenghuan to find a pair of chain mail and a pair of iron armor, and asked Xu Yingwei to wear them along with the cotton armor, and also gave him a cast iron bowl stomach.

When Xu Yingwei was put on, he rushed towards Jin Shenghuan with a roar.

Jin Shenghuan decisively threw out the fishing net in his hand, but he was lonely.

Because the fishing net was not opened at all, it was just hung on Xu Yingwei in strips.

Xu Yingwei's actions were not affected at all, and he stepped forward and compared the waist knife to Jin Shenghuan's neck: "Chief Jin Bing, your name can be engraved on the Martyrs' Shrine." ”

Jin Shenghuan looked a little embarrassed.

And the onlookers laughed.

Li Xiangjun's laughter was particularly crisp.

"Not this time." Jin Shenghuan blushed and said, "I have to figure out how to open this fishing net first." ”

This sentence reminded Chongzhen that fishnet warriors are not so easy to be, and their skills are very strong, even higher than the skills of dual-sword warriors.

At that moment, Chongzhen said: "Jin Qing, Xu Qing, go back and select a group of sturdy soldiers and scholars, let them learn to use fishing nets as soon as possible, don't wait for Jiannu to attack again, but we won't use fishing nets, wouldn't it be in vain to blind Li Aiqing's magical tactics." ”

"Yes." Xu Yingwei and Jin Shenghuan responded.

Chongzhen said again: "But for now, you better let yourself understand first." ”

At that moment, Xu Yingwei and Jin Shenghuan tried the second attempt, this time Jin Shenghuan finally opened the fishing net, but it was crooked, Xu Yingwei easily broke free and killed Jin Shenghuan again.

"Holy Lord, I'm afraid this won't work." Li Xiangjun suddenly said, "The success rate of Zhang Wang is too low. ”

"Li Qing, do you have any way to improve the success rate of Zhang Wang?" Chongzhen asked expectantly.

Li Xiangjun hummed lightly and said, "The minister once crossed the Yangtze River, and once saw fishermen fishing on the river, and the edge of the fishing net they used seemed to have heavy objects falling on the edge. ”

"Oh yes!" Chongzhen woke up like a dream, "The fishing net must be matched with a lead sinker." ”

That is, these scholars who don't listen to things outside the window, as well as these peasant men from Shanshan Pass, have never even seen fishing nets, so naturally they don't know the structure of fishing nets.

Chongzhen asked people to find lead ingots and tie them to the edge of the fishing nets.

Although Xu Yingwei struggled hard, he couldn't break free at all, and he couldn't stand steadily, because he tripped over the fishing net as soon as he stepped on his legs, if it was in the real battlefield, he would definitely be stabbed to death, and he would have been stabbed to death wearing triple armor.

Imagine the Chinese network

"Beautiful!" Chongzhen couldn't help but burst a mantra.

This fishing net is simply a sharp weapon against the white armor soldiers of Jiannu.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yingwei was asked to test the effect of flour.

The effect of flour can only be said to be average, because you can endure it without removing the nail and wiping off the flour, and the effect of flour on eyesight is still too weak, and the eyes will return to the same after a few more blinks.

Just when Chongzhen was a little disappointed, he went up the mountain with his head up.

"Long live the lord, long live the lord!" Gao Qiqian began to shout from a long distance, lest others not know that he had just run an errand for the emperor.

"Shout something." Chongzhen didn't have a good breath, "The errand is done?" ”

"It's done." Gao Qiqian stretched out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, then turned around and waved his hand and said, "Lift it up!" ”

The two little eunuchs who followed Gao Qi and sneaked up on the platform with two small bags, only to see that the two little eunuchs were running down with their eyes and snot.

Immediately, a choking pungent spicy smell spread across the platform.

"Uh-huh, what's that smell?" Li Xiangjun, who had a keen sense of smell, hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Everyone Li, oh no, General Li, this is the taste of pepper powder, it's choking." Gao Qiqian smiled, and couldn't help but invite Chongzhen to take credit, "In order to grind this pepper into powder, the old slave really dried up his tears." ”

"Gao Companion, I will give you a credit this time." Chongzhen smiled, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and said, "You have worked hard in the past few days, this is a reward for you, don't be too little." ”

"It's not too little, old slave Xie Long live the reward."

Gao Qiqian was so excited that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

In my heart, I slandered, long live you, you are really picky.

If our family has done such a big errand, we will be rewarded with two taels of silver? What about sending Hanako? Who do you look down upon? Am I a person who lacks these two taels of silver?

Chongzhen was about to speak again, when two trumpets suddenly sounded in the direction of the Jiannu camp.

"Huh? Is this a trumpet? Chongzhen's heart sank, and he immediately took a group of chief soldiers to the No. 1 platform, stood on the front edge of the No. 1 platform and looked condescendingly, and sure enough, he saw that the gate of the Jiannu camp had been opened, and a team of Jiannu foot soldiers, horse teams and car battalions were driving out of the gate to line up in the open space outside the camp.

Is this going on the offensive again? Jiannu really didn't give up.

"Quick." At that moment, Chongzhen hurriedly said, "Gao Banban, you hurry up and take the Renhu paper bag, you want to use thin paper, and throw it out after a slight collision can break the tissue paper bag." ”

"After the paper bags are ready, fill each paper bag with a small amount of flour and pepper powder."

"Oh, be careful, don't get the flour wet, don't let the lake of flour fall."

Because there is too little pepper powder, it can only be mixed with flour, otherwise it will be used up without a few bags.

Chongzhen turned his gaze to Xia Wanchun again: "Xia Wanchun, take someone to check the Hongyi cannon one last time." ”

"Yes." Xia Wanchun agreed, and immediately led a team of Qinwang scholars of about the same age to begin to inspect the gun positions of the Hongyi cannon one by one.

At this time, the Hongyi cannon erected on Yunlong Mountain had increased to ten.

When Jiannu also discovered that Yunlong Mountain was the weak point of the entire Xuzhou defense line, then strengthening the defensive firepower of Yunlong Mountain became an inevitable result, and Chongzhen moved all the Hongyi cannons to the mountain in one go.

It's a pity that the Xuzhou defense line only has a total of ten Hongyi cannons, and there are no more.

Therefore, Chongzhen is still a little resentful of the last battle of Henan, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's more than 10,000 Eight Banners Han army is cheap Li Zicheng, a thief, the key is that the more than 180 Hongyi cannons are a pity.

If the more than 180 Hongyi cannons were captured and transported to Xuzhou, they would be afraid of a slave.

However, there is also good news, that is, the Daming Arsenal in Nanjing has been trial-producing the Hongyi cannon, and it is produced according to the process of the Macau Bugarao Cannon Factory, which means that it is about to be standardized.

Looking at Jiannu on the opposite side, he has already begun to push out the Hongyi cannon.

The scene was really big, the Hongyi cannons were lined up at a distance of about a thousand paces, the interval between the two adjacent Hongyi cannons was about one zhang, and the total length of the artillery position was more than two miles.

[Note: Ming Dynasty one mile = 150 zhang = 480 meters]

Judging by this length, there are at least more than 300 Hongyi cannons.

Jin Shenghuan said in a deep voice: "Holy Lord, it seems that Jiannu is going to attack with Hongyi cannons this time. ”

"Expected." Chongzhen smiled and said, "However, Jiannu will soon find out that this is in vain, if you want to break the defense line of Xuzhou, you still have to fill it with human lives." ”

The fortress is specially designed for anti-cannons.

Because since the advent of cannons, the traditional European castles with high walls and thin walls have become vulnerable, and in order to strengthen the defense of the castle, the tactics of building fortresses around the castle came into being.

Due to its low inward inclination and extremely thick walls, the bastion could easily withstand cannon shelling.

In addition, there is usually a slope protection outside the trench of the fortress, and the height of the slope protection is usually equal to or even higher than the fortress wall, which makes it difficult for the cannon to hit the wall of the fortress.

Because you have to clear the slope outside the fortress and clear the cannon's firing interface.

However, the process is covered by bastion fire, so it usually takes a lot of time and casualties for the attacking side to destroy a bastion.

With the human resources of those small European countries at that time, the bastion tactics were basically incomprehensible.

Combined with the current Xu Zhan War, Jiannu's human resources are not much stronger than those of European countries, so not to mention bulldozing more than 12 heavy 600 guns outside Xuzhou City, even the outermost two platforms are enough for them to drink a pot.

Even the most conservative estimates are that each platform can take at least 1,000 to 2,000 clothed minions with Jiannu.

So Chongzhen wants to see how big is the limit of Jiannu's endurance? How many coated casualties can it tolerate?

After the Eight Banners Han Army set up the Hongyi cannon, they began to fire cannons one by one under the command of the Han generals.

The scene was truly astonishing, with more than 300 cannons firing one after another, and the muzzles of the cannons spewed out clusters of flames one after another, followed by a huge roar.

The nearest guns are estimated to be able to feel the ground tremors.

Chongzhen adjusted the line of sight of the telescope, and saw that most of the shells fired by the Jiannu Hongyi cannon fell on the slope of the outermost first heavy platform, freeing up patches of black soil.

A small number of shells also landed in the rear towers.

However, there were no casualties, and the Ming army was hiding in bunkers at this time.

So, don't look at the lively fighting of the Jiannu Hongyi cannon, in fact, the killing effect is zero.

Such an artillery bombardment, even if Jiannu used up all the gunpowder and lead bullets, it would not be able to destroy the outermost slope protection.

"The grasshopper shakes the tree." Chongzhen finally put his mind at ease, put down the binoculars and said with a smile, "Just let Jiannu waste their gunpowder and lead bullet, let's hurry up and make preparations." ”

"Yes." All the generals and soldiers promised.
