Chapter 091

The confinement bends and shines in Kyushu, and a few families are happy and a few are sad.

The officers and men of the Ning Navy were extremely excited, although those Ning Navy soldiers from Dengzhou Wei did not know how powerful Jiannu was, they had only heard about it. However, the soldiers of the Ning Navy who were born in the Dongjiang Army, they not only knew the power of Jiannu, but also personally experienced it.

The army of Jiannu is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and at the age of fifteen can become a bannerman, but to participate in the assessment of physical fitness, intelligence, and force, those who pass are infantry armor, and those who are excellent are horse armors. Infantry and vests can go into battle.

If you take more than 100 heads, you can become a red armor soldier, and after becoming a red armor soldier, after passing through the red armor soldier, after layers of selection, one in a hundred, you can become a white armor soldier, that is, a white armor soldier. In the late Nurhachi period, there were only more than 200 white-armored soldiers in the entire Manchu Eight Banners.

The equipment of the white armor soldiers is excellent, wearing three layers of iron armor, weighing about 60 catties, and they can be afraid of the Ming army's swords, arrows, spears, and stabs, except for their faces, there are almost no loopholes. In the Battle of Songjin, six white-armored soldiers fought against 240 Ming soldiers, and 240 Ming soldiers were annihilated, and there were no casualties among themselves.

Of course, in the Huang Taiji period, the number of red armor soldiers and white armor soldiers of Jiannu began to increase dramatically, mainly Jiannu invaded the pass in the second year of Chongzhen, massacring the common people, Tuliang Township County and Gu'an County and other more than a dozen county seats, Jiannu through the slaughter of ordinary people, was promoted to red armor soldiers, and the white armor soldiers were selected according to proportion. In the late Nurhachi period, a Niu Lu could draw up to a hundred armor soldiers, and now, of the 3,000 iron cavalry under the command of Azig, of which the red armor soldiers accounted for three-quarters, and the white armor soldiers were also more than 140 people.

Even if the combat effectiveness of Jiannu's red-armored soldiers and white-armored soldiers has moisture, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and with the same number of people, it can crush the Ming army.

Even if there is only one cavalry of Niu Lu, they can chase and kill tens of thousands of Ming troops.

In the past, if the Ming army wanted to annihilate a Jiannu of Niulu, it would have to inflict three or even five times as many casualties, but the Ning Navy soldiers shot all the 300 Jiannu with zero casualties.

Especially those Ning Navy soldiers from the Dongjiang Army, looking at Cheng Shijie at this time, their eyes were full of awe. In terms of martial arts, the Dongjiang Army actually has no shortage of warriors, not to mention Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, like Mao Youjun, Mao Yourong, and those who can also face the fierce soldiers of Jiannu and the white armor.

However, every victory of the Dongjiang Army was also piled up with human lives.

Where like this, pikemen, sword and shield men, including crossbowmen, did not even have a chance to strike.

The army is a place of strength, a person can lead soldiers to win successive victories, these soldiers are willing to fight with such generals, even if they know that they are dying, they are not afraid.

At this time, in the Ning Navy formation, the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Some Ning Navy soldiers held rice bowls and taunted in the direction of Jiannu while eating horse meat: "This horse meat tastes good, send some more to grandpa!" ”

"If I can have such food every day, I will be happy to fight this battle for the rest of my life!"

"It's a pity, the credit goes to those artillery and fire support soldiers!"

"They actually want to cry too!"

"What's going on?"

"Of these more than 300 Jiannu, only one hundred and sixty-two heads have been cut!"

"Impossible!"

"It's true, the other heads are broken, oops, it's a pity!"

Cheng Shijie is now the same as other soldiers, with an iron pot in front of him, and in the iron pot, a large piece of horse meat is tumbling with gravy, the only difference is that the broth in Cheng Shijie's iron pot is red.

As Cheng Shijie, who can travel through two time and space, he never embarrass himself in terms of eating, he has a spicy hot pot base in his pot, and it is a very beautiful enjoyment to eat spicy hot pot in the cold and biting weather.

Originally, Cheng Shijie was surrounded by Zhang Yu, Liu Qingsong, Zhou Ning and others.

"How about a taste of this horse meat!"

Shen Ming was not polite, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of horse meat, the horse meat just entered his mouth, a rich beef flavor stimulated the taste buds, he gave Cheng Shijie a thumbs up: "Dashuai, your horse meat, delicious!" ”

There were more than 300 war horses on the battlefield, and the horse meat was not wasted at all.

Li Zhixiang, who was sitting next to Cheng Shijie, sighed: "It's rare, I've fought for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen our army so relaxed after the war." ”

Cheng Shijie smiled: "If you win, of course it's easy!" ”

Li Zhixiang was a little gloomy: "It's a pity that Mao Shuai couldn't see ......"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Wencai stared at Li Zhixiang and said: "In front of Cheng Shuai, don't mention Mao Shuai!" ”

Shen Mingyu hurriedly opened the topic: "Dashuai, what should we do next?" ”

"Let's spend time with Jiannu here, the direction of Jinzhou should be reclaimed, and the factory should be built!"

Cheng Shijie said with a smug smile: "We still have 600,000 stone of grain, which is enough for our Ning Navy to eat for more than ten months, and we will consume them to death!" ”

"However, what if Jiannu bypasses us and goes straight to Jinzhou?"

Cheng Shijie said: "Let's build a new defense system, this defense system is composed of a trench and a chest wall, the chest wall does not need to be too high, chest high, but it must be strong, at least to prevent the Jiannu cavalry from collapsing." A chest wall, and a ditch underneath! ”

What Cheng Shijie took out was the trench warfare composed of trenches, barbed wire, and mines in later generations, which was a standard tactic during the First World War.

The core of this tactic is to use a large number of tiger squat guns and bowl-mouth guns captured by the Ning Navy as a fulcrum, with the breastwork as the line, the mines as the surface, and the trench as the line of communication, forming a three-dimensional defense tactic.

Cheng Shijie took a broken arrow and drew it directly on the ground, so that it was easy for the generals of the Ning Navy to understand.

Cheng Shijie judged according to the information of later generations that the number of artillery pieces in Huang Taiji's hands now has three or four hundred, and the main source of capture is the capture of Chongzhen's breakthrough in the second year and the capture of the Battle of Dalinghe. Even if Jiannu has fewer artillery, they will definitely have Hongyi cannons in their hands, and Hongyi cannons with range advantages will cause a lot of casualties to the Ning Navy.

Although after the convergence with Shen Mingyu, plus the artillery of the new army of Denglai, the Ning Navy now has 96 artillery pieces, but there are only 10 guns in Hongyi Gate, of which 86 are Franc machine guns.

In terms of artillery combat, the Ning Navy still did not have an absolute advantage, so he had to use trenches and low-cost Jiannu artillery.

As the Ning Navy soldiers finished eating in batches, the construction began.

Is the ground frozen? It's much simpler, burn a fire on the ground, wait for the fire to melt the permafrost, and then dig for it. The warm earth was slapped into an earthen wall, and when the cold wind blew, it immediately became as hard as iron.

Ning Haijun was beaming, while Jiannu on the opposite side was gloomy.

Although the loss of a Niu Lu would not hurt Azig's muscles and bones, it made him feel very faceless, and he said angrily: "The whole army pressed up and trampled this group of Ming dogs into the mud!" ”

"Master, stop your anger!"

Borji said: "This group of Ming army has too many firearms, and there are many artillery, our three thousand horsemen press it, even if they are all dead, I am afraid it will have no effect, if you fold so many Niu Lu, the loss will be the master!" ”

Borzi is very smart, he actually wants to say that with the loss of these nine Niu Lu, Huang Taiji will not let Azig go. But he couldn't say that, and if he did, Azig would be so angry that he didn't care to press the whole army up.

"Ben Belle doesn't believe that their guns don't explode, their cannons don't get hot, and their crossbow arrows can't be fired!"

"The master wants to consume Minggou's firearms and cannonballs, this matter is actually simple, you don't need to let our people get on!"

"If you don't use our people, then use your people?"

Borzi is actually not a Jurchen, but a Mongol, although he is the first chief of staff with a white flag, that is, Zalan Ezhen, but his subordinates are not, but Jurchens.

In later generations, Azig's Mongol tribe had more than 2,000 horsemen and was responsible for guarding the prisoners of war of the Ming army.

"Master, have you forgotten that we have more than 13,000 Ming Dog prisoners of war in our hands, wouldn't it be better to use them to consume Ming Dog's guns and shells?"

Azig nodded and said, "That's right, it's better!" ”

The most trusted within Jiannu must be their own people, followed by the Mongols, and then the surrendered Han army, the current Han army is Meile Zhangjing, Bao Chengxian, Sun Degong and others, and has not really established the Han Eight Banners.

On the one hand, Azig urged the Mongolian cavalry behind to escort the Ming prisoners of war to come quickly, and on the other hand, he drank wine and ate roast mutton.

At this time, a defensive line with Cheng Shijie's camp as the center and extending east and west quickly took shape.

With the rapid excavation of the breastwork and trenches, Song Xiance suggested to Cheng Shijie: "Lord, you can't let the soldiers of the Ning Navy do this kind of rough work, let them maintain sufficient physical strength, Jiannu will not retreat without fighting, it must be waiting for reinforcements or artillery from the rear to come, waiting for them to come, I'm afraid that a big war is coming!" ”

Cheng Shijie is also a good person, he thinks that Song Xiance's analysis is very reasonable, so he asked: "Your idea is to transfer the Tuntian soldiers?" ”

"Yes, this kind of trench is quite difficult to dig, so I can only transfer the Tuntian soldiers over, and there is no shortage of food in the hands of the lord now, find some work for the Tuntian soldiers, so that they can quickly settle down!"

"Okay, leave this matter to you!"

The Ming army stayed up all night, because with Cheng Shijie's arrival in southern Liaoning, two-thirds of the sailors of the Ning Navy were assigned to transport the Tuntian soldiers and their families. When the transport team that was about to dock directly at Jinzhou Port received Cheng Shijie's order to turn around and go north.

As the Tuntian army docked at the port of Gaizhou, they were still diverted, the old and weak women and children went south to Jinzhou, and the young and strong stayed in Gaizhou, responsible for helping the soldiers of the Ning Navy dig trenches and repair the chest wall.

Cheng Shijie doubled the wages of these migrated Tuntian soldiers, giving them two buckets of grain a day.

In just one night, a defensive line consisting of three breastworks and three trenches stretched for seven or eight miles, and it still extended at a relatively fast speed in the east-west direction.

In fact, as more and more Tuntian soldiers joined the project, at this rate, they could repair the defense line to Gaizhou City at most at night.

Early the next morning, Azig stared at the chest wall repaired by Ning Haijun under the mountain and frowned: "Strange, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Minggou?" I've been fighting for so many years, and I've seen all kinds of formations, but I've never seen such strange fortifications. ”

Borzi's attention was attracted by the chest wall that was less than a person high, and he sneered: "Ming Dog actually wants to use such a thin mud fence to block my Eight Banners Elite? Isn't it underestimating us? ”

"No, you can't let them cultivate like this!"

Azig said with a gloomy face: "In the battle of the Daling River, the king of Khan besieged the Ming army with three trenches, which lasted three months, and the Ming army in the city was so hungry that they ate human flesh, and this time the Ming army used the same method to dig trenches to keep us out!" ”

"Wouldn't it be better if they locked themselves up?"

"Idiot!"

Azig pointed to the south and said: "There are still more than 120 miles away from Jinzhouwei, and more than 240 miles away from Lushun, they have a sailor, and they can help and continue to transport food, and it will be us who will starve to death at that time, not them!" ”

Borzi said: "Then send people to fight a dozen, you can't let them repair the fortifications with peace of mind!" ”

Borzi's words reached Azig's heart, and he said, "Let your people go!" ”

Borzi can be regarded as shooting himself in the foot, and he can't wait to smack himself a few times now, too much.

But Azig's orders cannot be disobeyed, as long as they disobey his orders, death is the luckiest thing, and they will all be tortured to death.

In desperation, Borzi's own Mongolian subordinates shot that, which means wolf in Mongolian.

This cronie is also surnamed Duo Ben Meiergan, if you want to talk about dignity, Borzigit is far inferior to Duo Ben Meier, but at this time, that time, like the Central Plains Dynasty, in the Song Dynasty Zhao is the national surname, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao is far inferior to Zhu.

Shot Na led more than 500 horsemen under his command to sweep towards the camp like a hurricane. It seems that Kennu also realizes that this seemingly rudimentary fortification is strange.

As soon as he saw the Mongolian cavalry rushing up, Cheng Shijie smiled, Jiannu was afraid of killing his own people, so he let the Mongolian cannon fodder fight.

Cheng Shijie doesn't need to look at it to know what will happen to these guys. What drove the cavalry out of battle? It was not the Minnie gun that was blown like an artifact of national destruction, but the barbed wire and the heavy machine gun, the former making it difficult for the cavalry to move an inch, and the latter turning the cavalry's irreversible charge into a moth to the fire!

Cheng Shijie doesn't have the ability to make a heavy machine gun, but it's enough to have a thunderbolt! He ordered: "Yuan Shiliang, command the artillery!" Kill these bastards! ”

Yuan Shiliang muttered together with several Western staff officers, who calculated their data.

When these Mongol cavalry entered the distance of 800 paces of the breastwork, sixteen Franc machine guns opened fire at the same time, and as the artillery led the fire, the barrels of the guns sprayed out balls of fireballs, and the smoke of gunpowder billowed out, and the shells whistled out of the smoke and fell into the formation of the Mongol cavalry.

The squadron of Mongolian cavalry suddenly splashed with patches of blood, and heavy, lead-put balls with powerful kinetic energy went on a rampage, and the people and horses in front of it were all plasma, and the torn tendons and broken bones flew up, which was disgusting.

Sixteen cannons fired a salvo, and the Mongol cavalry was put down by more than 100 people, and the effect was not bad. However, they only had time to fire one shot, and before they could load the second shell, the Mongol cavalry had already charged through the stabbing stab, and although the shells could be fired, there were no more Mongol cavalry in the firing range.

Cheng Shijie smiled: "These bastards are still smart!" ”

It's just that these Mongolian cavalry were too clever, and they actually rushed directly into the minefield. The speed of the Mongol cavalry was getting faster and faster, and the artillery had no chance to aim at the target anymore.

The Mongolian archers drew their horn bows like a full moon, and the arrows were like beads, and the bowstrings trembled and poured a dense rain of arrows into the Ning's naval position.

"Woo Woo ......"

As the rain of arrows fell, there were sporadic screams from the position of the Ning Navy, obviously someone was hit by an arrow, although the breastwork can provide them with good protection, but after all, the breastwork is not omnipotent, there will still be projectile arrows over the breastwork, shooting at them, causing casualties to the Ning Navy.

However, the problem was that the counterattack of the Ning navy also came as scheduled, with more than 300 crossbow machines firing crossbow arrows at the Mongol cavalry.

A row of crossbow arrows swept by, and the screams rang out heartbreakingly, and the Mongol cavalry huddled in front of the breastwork fell in large pieces. After shooting, the Ning Navy soldiers handed over the crossbow machine to their comrades in the trenches, took the strong crossbow with the crossbow arrows in their hands, traced it slightly, and pulled the crossbow again.

This time, the screams of the Mongol cavalry were even more terrible, and the Mongol cavalry huddled in front of the breastwork was almost swept away, and both men and horses were turned into piles of corpses.

Including Borzi's henchmen, more than 500 cavalrymen were all shot in just one pillar of incense.

Seeing that Jiannu and the Mongols did not have the posture of attacking, many Ning Navy soldiers directly took hooks and hooked the corpses of the Mongols into the trenches, and then cleaned up the battlefield.

Seeing this, Azig let out a long sigh.

"It's weird!"

"Master, it seems that the only way to use artillery is to use it!"

Azig kicked the real iron.

This time, the Ning Navy did not even fire a thunderbolt, or even detonate a mine, and more than 500 Mongolian cavalry were wiped out.

Azig's face was very stinky at this point, even worse than eating dog shit.

None of the surrounding Jiannu generals dared to touch Azig's moldy head.

The soldiers of the Ning Navy were overjoyed, sealing the corpses of the Mongols in front of the battle, forming a wall of corpses, and the horses that were shot became the meat in the mouths of the Ning Navy officers. This time, he got more horse meat, and even if the Ning Navy soldiers ate it with their bellies open, they couldn't finish it.

Cheng Shijie distributed the excess horse meat to the Tuntian soldiers, and the Tuntian soldiers of the Ning Navy ate the horse meat and were so moved that they were in an uproar. Some of them can't remember the last time they ate meat, and even if they catch a rabbit once in a while, they are reluctant to eat it, and they have to sell it to buy salt.

Cheng Shijie could even clearly feel that Jiannu's morale was declining.

After five days of intense construction, after using 58 tuntian and 100 households, the defense line of the Ning Navy has been initially formed, connecting with Gaizhou City to the west, and repairing to Jinshi Mountain to the east.

Now it's okay, Jiannu wants to take a detour to Jinzhouwei again, either by sea, or directly break through Gaizhou City, or turn over Jinshi Mountain, this mountain is actually the Changbai Mountain system, the remaining veins of thousands of mountains. What's more critical is that there is an ancient city on the top of the mountain, and the Ning Navy sent Zhou Ning's department to guard here.

Although it is impossible to completely block the road of Jiannu to the south, Cheng Shijie can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At the end of November of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou served as the governor of the three sides, and he really stepped onto the stage of history.

Azig's Ming prisoners of war, who wanted to wear it from afar, also arrived in a stumbling situation.

Azig ordered 4,000 young men to be selected from more than 13,000 prisoners of war, gave each of them two bowls of hot porridge, and killed more than 200 sheep in front of the prisoners of war.

Azig announced that he would break through the Ming army's defense line and reward the armored men.

Jiannu leads the army with the banner and the people with the flag", plows the fields and hunts in peacetime, and goes into battle in armor in wartime. These flagmen, according to their status, are divided into three types: "Ahha", "Armored People", and "Bannermen". Aha is a slave, mostly Han Chinese and Koreans; The armor people are descendants, the nationalities are different, the status is higher than that of Aha, and the banner is a Jurchen.

Although the status of the armored men was inferior to that of the bannermen, it was the best treatment for these prisoners of war, and although they were not paid, they could seize goods on the battlefield and, if they were lucky, they were rewarded with a few slaves.

These prisoners of war of the Ming army, the brain circuit is very strange, they are afraid of Jiannu, but they are not afraid of the Ming army, of course, because they were born in the Ming army, they know the real strength of the Ming army very well, in their eyes, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is scum.

These prisoners of war of the Ming army, who had eaten a full meal, had a wolf-like look in their eyes.

"Fight!"

With Azig's order, the more than 4,000 Ming prisoners of war began to line up with the knives and guns they had just sent.

Cheng Shijie had just had breakfast, and he was about to give a lesson to the officers, when a whimpering and tragic horn sounded on the opposite hillside, and with the sound of the horn.

The Jiannu cavalry on the opposite side began to spread out left and right, revealing an infantry of about 4,000 people, but it can be seen from the clothing of these infantry that their infantry was once the Ming army.

That's right, this Ming army was a prisoner of the Ming army who surrendered to Jiannu in Dalinghe City.

Seeing these prisoners of the Ming army, the soldiers of the Ning Navy from the Dongjiang Army immediately reacted, what is Jiannu going to do. In fact, this is also the most accustomed tactic used by Jiannu, first using the Ming army prisoners, as well as the captured Ming people, to drive them to charge the Ming army's defense line.

Before the war officially began, the Ming army often needed to shoot firecrackers and crossbow arrows at their own people, which would not only consume artillery, firecrackers and crossbow arrows, but also hit the morale of the Ming army.

As the so-called one trick is fresh, eat all over the world.

Jiannu relied on this rogue tactic to beat the Ming army to the ground.

At this time, almost all the soldiers of the Ning Navy looked at Cheng Shijie, in the face of a group of compatriots, could he do it?

Cheng Shijie looked at these Ming prisoners of war who were running faster and faster, and even had a hideous look on their faces, as if he had seen two devils in another time and space.

Cheng Shijie was furious: "The whole army is full of firepower, no longer retains strength, the cavalry troops are ready, ready to chase and kill at any time!" ”
