Chapter 387: Draining the Last Drop of Blood
For Hua Rong's proposal......
Of course Huang Ge Lao supports it!
He also knew that Hua Rong was uneasy and kind, but the problem was that it was about him or the imperial court, all they wanted was to open the capital quickly, and Hua Rong's proposal was obviously the most feasible at the moment.
The Moling Pass itself is not difficult to open, and even the Sanshan Fort is not difficult to open.
10,000 catties of cannons can be blasted away.
The power of the 10,000-pound cannon has been confirmed......
That's a forty-pound cannon, and a twenty-four-pound cannon is enough for the Bombardment Fortress, not to mention forty pounds, especially Moling Pass is not a top-level fortress, it is an ordinary brick-clad four-cornered fort, and the most green bricks are made of cement as a binder, and because they are stuck in water transportation, the surrounding water network is perfect. But these can't hold up the continuous bombardment of the forty-pounder cannon, in fact, the Sanshan Fort, and even the outer wall of several city gates can't hold up, and the outer wall of the capital is a rammed earth city wall and is not covered with bricks, even if it is a Hongyi cannon, it can be blasted open.
Of course, don't count on the inner walls.
That's pure brick.
You can't take modern medium-caliber artillery to bomb it, and the devils still have to be more than one and fifty zeros, and in fact, the devils use a lot of 240 howitzers.
But all the fortresses outside the inner city wall really couldn't carry the 10,000-pound cannon.
Now the problem is that it's useless to blast it open!
Because the defenders used a lot of Molotov cocktails, even if they could collapse the city wall, they couldn't rush up, after all, no one could continue to rush forward after countless Molotov cocktails were smashed overhead, and when they raided Cangbo Gate before, the defenders even simply poured gasoline and kerosene directly from above. This is not a cannonball bullet or a flowering bullet, even if that thing charges intensively, most of them will still not be hit after all, and even if you run faster, you can't aim, after all, even if the arquebus is aimed, the time for the arquebus to fall will run ten meters. As for the cannon shotgun, that one is left to fate, so the warriors of the color eyes dare to charge shirtless, they know that it is at most a fifth of the mortality rate, and they can carry it.
But as soon as this burns up, it will be passed from person to person.
Especially under the city wall, oil is poured on it, but if there is too much on the body, even if there is no cloth, as soon as the Molotov cocktail next to it explodes, even if it has not been licked by the fire, it can be ignited at a distance.
It can be burned even without oil.
It was as if the void was burning.
Well, it was actually the kerosene vapor that was ignited by the high temperature.
However, for those who don't understand this, it is indeed burning in the void.
Extremely weird.
Even if the warriors of the color eyes are brave, now they have completely lost the courage to attack, the vast majority of their deaths these days are burned to death, more than 7,000 died in Moling Pass alone, the gap that was blasted open is black from a distance, but in the past, I knew that it was actually all the bones of the color warriors who were burned black, and the attack had to step on the bones left before.
Even the bravest people have collapsed.
No one dared to continue rushing.
Even the rammed earth there was blackened by the continuous high temperature burning.
The defenders deliberately did not clean up.
It is to let those black bones and slag accumulate layer by layer in the gap, so that the morale of the attackers will collapse immediately as soon as they step on it, after all, this is really untenable, the Semu warriors are not really ignoring death after all, they are really so brave, and the Great Yuan Dynasty will not die.
And nearly 2,000 people died in the raid Cangbomen Company, and 3,000 died when they were used as cannon fodder by Hua Rong in Sanshan Fort.
Twelve thousand!
It's all young.
And they are all the most capable young and strong.
Even if you add the north to flee, there are only fifty or sixty thousand young people in the area controlled by the Jianwen Dynasty.
These are mainly the Semu military households in several guards in Guangdong, Guangxi was placed in the old Northern Yuan Department of Guangxi after the surrender of Naha, Naha took more than 200,000 when he surrendered, although only a small part of them are Semu, after all, he is a descendant of Muhua Li, and has nothing to do with Semu.
But when Beiyuan fled, many Semu also fled north, and many of them were in his batch.
In general, men, women, and children add up, and there are 200,000 levels.
Well, they're actually still young.
In that case, why not?
Like Hua Rong said, do they have any other choice?
Either desperately lay a foundation for Jianwen, and then continue to thrive in Daming, or after Yang Feng comes back, men will become slaves and women will become prostitutes, and there will be no one else available, those military households will definitely not do this kind of thing, they will not surrender. Their support for Jianwen is nothing more than that the empress of the capital is a little too alternative, as a person who follows Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, Jianwen is also the most in line with the emperor's identity at present, but with the fight here, they are actually very clear that the governance of the imperial court is indeed better than that under the governance of Jianwen. You can continue to fight the war, but it's not necessary to play suicide charge, it's not worth it, as for the loyalty brought by the gentry, they will definitely not do it, they will also not surrender, even the gentry themselves will not do it, they will also surrender, they will also surrender, they voted for Jianwen only because of Yang Feng Juntian, and it is not Yang Feng who wants to destroy them.
If they lose, they will lose their fields, and it is impossible for Yang Feng to kill their entire family.
They know that.
Oppose Yang Feng and oppose Yang Feng, but they also know that Yang Feng is not Zhu Yuanzhang and will not peel them off.
Even the Japanese slaves did not do it.
They had no choice but to continue to be slaves, and they had nothing in the first place, because the gentry gave money to follow.
Lose or be a slave.
Yang Feng's own use of the Japanese slaves is the most in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The most he lost was as a prisoner, and he was caught by him and sent to Huining to reclaim the wasteland and farm.
That's not a bad thing.
Annan soldiers didn't do it either.
They fled back to Annam.
Tusi soldiers are even less dry, they are all Tusi's private soldiers, just because Jianwen gives money, it's okay to give money to fight, if you die on the battlefield, you die, and it's inevitable to fight, but this kind of pure suicide, they definitely don't do it.
In the end, only the ones who can do this are the colors, because they are the only ones who have no choice.
If you don't do it, you have to do it.
Although the world is big, except for Jianwen, no one will give them a place to stay.
Even Mu Sheng is driving out his Semu military households, these guys were all hostile to Daming back then, and the Yunnan military households have fought with them on the battlefield in the past, and even many relatives died in the hands of Semu, how can they like them. In the past, there was no chance to squeeze them out, but now that the opportunity has come, of course, we must squeeze them out, squeeze them out, and their fields will become the property of other military households.
Now except for Jianwen, who is open to acceptance, and even a cronie, all other places are crowding out or even driving them outright.
Of course, the Guangdong military households led by Hua Rong also did not want to tolerate them.
That's why this poisonous plan came up.
Immediately after that, Huang Ge Lao wanted to test it, find some lustful warriors, with gunpowder bags on their bodies, and rush directly to Moling Pass, but was stopped by Hua Rong, this tactic wants suddenness, and everyone will know it after you finish the test. I just have to go back and find a few thousand warriors, and then prepare a large number of flowering bullets that can be tied to my body, and when these are ready, I will suddenly launch a general attack on the capital.
The Beijing camp was caught off guard.
And not only that, but at least 20,000 more colored soldiers had to be recruited to make up for the previous losses.
What's more, bombing alone is not enough, even if you blow up the walls of the capital, you still have to fight in the city in the end.
So the more soldiers, the better.
It's okay to be younger, and you can use weapons in the 14th Five-Year Plan.
This is not their fight for Emperor Jianwen, but for their right to survive in the future.
You just have to work hard.
Forty or fifty were also brought in.
Since this was the case, Huang Ge Lao hurriedly sent a secret recital to Guangzhou, asking His Majesty the Emperor to prepare these.
Mobilize 5,000 warriors, and tie a 30-pound flowering bullet to each person.
Blow up the capital with their flesh and blood.
At the same time, another 30,000 young people will be mobilized, and if they can't do it, the standard will be relaxed, and they will go up to 50 to 15, and 15 will be enlisted in the army, and 15 is a very reasonable age.
Of course, this requires enough preparation time.
So......
"Hua Rong?"
Yang Feng smiled.
At this time, he was walking through the Star Gorge.
The four-wheeled carriages carried the women of those soldiers in the Beijing camp and their harvest, and even many of the women had big bellies, after all, they had also walked for a long time, and after entering Jiayuguan according to this situation, thousands of children had to be added to this team.
Of course, there are a lot of children.
Ambassador Yang's round of righteous women is tens of thousands, one by one crowded in the four-wheeled carriage, looking blankly at the long yellow sand around them, but because there is no shortage of food and clothing under Yang Feng, they are all very good-looking, one by one Turkic, Persian, Armenian, and even Kurdish, in short, the little girls of all kinds are dazzling.
As for the soldiers, they all rode horses or camels.
There are 40,000 women and girls in all, and how can there be carriages for them?
Fortunately, after this expedition, they have all evolved to the level of Zhu Di's guards, and they can ride horses to travel thousands of miles.
However, due to the constraints of the conditions, the team had to be dragged to more than 100 miles.
Because the fresh water of these hundreds of miles can only be relied on those bitter wells that are barely drinkable along the way, although the soldiers can carry enough fresh water from Hami to pass, but the large number of horses cannot hold it, if tens of thousands of troops really pass through intensively, it is estimated that those wells will have to be drunk. So Timur's expedition of hundreds of thousands of troops to the east is really a joke, he can't even drink enough water to take this line, unless he drags a long line like Yang Feng, and the situation is similar to that of the southern line, after all, he still has to pass through Lop Nur. Then if hundreds of thousands of troops really go here, as long as a few thousand people hold Xingxing Gorge, it will not be much, just ten days and a half months, and then hundreds of thousands of troops will have to bleed each other between Hami and Xingxing Gorge.
At most, this route can sustain the continuous passage of tens of thousands of troops, and it is impossible to do more.
Those wells had to be drunk.
Then tens of thousands of people walked out of Xingxing Gorge with thirst and half to death, and ran into Song Sheng's Gansu army head-on.
It is said that when Timur went on an expedition to the east, Song Sheng and He Fu jointly guarded Gansu.
And Zhu Di also knew about his crusade.
Before he died, Zhu Di had already ordered Song Sheng and He Fu to prepare for war.
"So Hua Rong deliberately asked the Jianwen Dynasty to collect the warriors of the color eyes and create a bomb to attack the city, so that the two times would be delayed for at least a month or more, and Xu Huizu had already gone to Jiayuguan to know the news, and Huang Zicheng actually knew that I must be returning, so I had no choice but to rush to break through the capital quickly."
Yang Feng said.
Of course, Hua Rong has secretly surrendered.
They are very sober about this, and from the failure of the first wave of attacks, the whole plan has actually failed.
This kind of raid would have been a one-shot deal.
Open to win, if you can't open it, you will lose, there is no first wave of failure, and there is no possibility of a long-term siege in the capital, at present, the general army in various places is wait-and-see, and the gentry welcome Wang Shi, the fundamental reason is actually that Yang Feng is not there, whether he is dead or alive, he is not there or can still make people a little fantasy.
Otherwise, there is no illusion.
Once he returns, those general soldiers will not hesitate to Qin Wang.
So Jianwen is actually a chance.
In normal calculations, Yang Feng has already gone to the Western Regions, and it will take at least three months for the news to reach him, after all, many post stations on this line cannot be connected, and it is impossible for him to return to the division immediately, after all, he is going to war, and it is normal to delay for one or two months, and then go for at least half a year. Therefore, Jianwen had more than half a year, first taking the capital in one go, and then quickly bribing those general soldiers in various ways, giving them all the conditions they could, and giving the gentry everywhere everything they wanted. Huang Zicheng has even proposed that the gentry can simply not pay for food, so as to gain support, and finally the Ming Dynasty united as one, ready to wait for Yang Feng to come back for a decisive battle.
But the key is to take the capital quickly.
If you can't even win the capital, why let others bet?
So now it's a lost story.
Since they lost, Hua Rong and other generals of the Guangdong Guard Institute were of course not interested in giving Jianwen a funeral.
"The news of Xu Huizu's return, it should be deliberately leaked, he sent a letter to the capital in Jiayuguan to expedite it, and after arriving in Fengyang, he was sent by Mei Yin to Yangzhou and then to Zhenjiang to transfer to the capital, Mei Yin knew, but he didn't act like he would leak secrets this time, it could only be Wu Gao, he led Huaiyang and Su Song's army in Zhenjiang, and he has been watching recently."
Haruhime said.
"This dog thing, Wu Shouan didn't even give him face to his father, and now he dares to do this!"
The little princess said angrily.
Now relying on the equipment given by Sister Liu, Yang Feng can already have a group chat with them.
Wu Gao is Wu Shou'an's elder brother and inherits Wu Liang's title, Wu Shou'an's crime should have at least been linked to him, but the little princess finally gave up Zhulian, after all, she still took care of these nobles. Now the closest to the capital is Wu Gao and Wu Jie, the Marquis of Anlu in the south, the latter is also watching with the Zhejiang army, Xu Huizu sent a fold in Jiayuguan, even if the fold cannot be demolished privately, they only know that Xu Huizu is back, Wu Gao and these people should also guess that Yang Feng is starting to return east, so there is not much time left for Jianwen. For them, the next is the last chance, even if Yang Feng enters Jiayuguan, he will have to walk for two months to get to Xi'an, he will still have a chance if he doesn't go to Xi'an, as long as he captures the capital before he goes to Xi'an.
The fall of the capital was immediately disturbed.
Although the situation in the future depends on Jianwen's ability to pull people's heads, there is no chance if it is not chaotic.
There is a chance when it is messed up.
"You hurry up and give Qi Bin an order, and let him take the sailor south to make peace with Zheng He."
Yang Feng said.
"What do you want to do?"
The little princess was stunned.
"Raiding the house? I'll take you to your nephew's house. ”
Yang Feng said.
He wasn't interested in following these guys' train of thought.
How easy it is to go straight to Guangzhou.
