Chapter 299: The Proxy War of the Spaniards
Chapter 299
Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life.
When Jiannu's rout ran out of the trench hole, the Ning Navy's artillery, rocket artillery, flying thunder artillery, and hundreds of various artillery pieces that had long been ready to attack roared together.
All kinds of artillery fired shells at the fastest speed, and the shells seemed to be pouring rain, smashing into the already unrecognizable position of Jiannu, and blowing up the fleeing Jiannu soldiers in pieces.
Along with the artillery, a large number of grenades were also thrown at the fleeing Jiannu, and a large ball of fire gushed out from the position of Jiannu, which was spectacular.
Of course, not all of them escaped, and the elite of the Red Banner who were loyal to Yue Tuo, about five or six hundred Red Swing Tooth La, did not retreat but advanced, trying to stop the Ning Navy officers from pursuing Yue Tuo.
These elite soldiers in red armor seemed to be like red flames, rushing towards the pursuing Ning Navy officers like a tide, and these red swing teeth used their recurve bows to shoot at the Ning Navy officers who rushed up.
"Woo Woo Woo ......"
Due to the proximity of the distance, these Jiannu are also one of the best in a hundred, although the armor of the Ning Navy is strong, but the problem is that almost none of them are extra, and they shoot specifically at the face of the Ning Navy Officer.
For a while, Admiral Ning kept being hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but no one paid attention to them, those who fell fell down, and those who did not fall continued to rush forward! The officers and men of the Ning Navy were all wearing heavy cuirasses, and if they fell to the ground with an arrow, there was a high probability that they would be hopeless, although this injury was fatal. However, everyone does not care, and continues to rush forward.
After seeing Jiannu shooting arrows specifically in the face, General Ning Haijun lowered his head and rushed forward, and was hit by an arrow in the face or neck, this is a small probability, even if he wants to manage it, he can't manage it, and whether he can survive depends on his character...... So what's there to hesitate about? Just keep rushing!
Cheng Shijie saw very clearly that these hundreds of Jiannu frantically blocked the attack of the Ning Navy officers, and the Ning Navy officers and soldiers continued to fall with arrows, but the problem was that they did not stop the wave of the Ning Navy attack. A mere five or six hundred men tried to stop the attack of eight or nine thousand, which was like a sand bar in front of a flood.
It is estimated that these Jiannu are also very aware of this, in the face of the whirlwind of the Ning Navy's army, they are already desperate, and in the desperate blockade, the Ning Navy's support firepower also followed.
"Bang ......"
As the thunderbolt shot at these Jiannu red fangs, a large cloud of blood mist exploded on the bodies of these Jiannu elites, screaming, hissing, and falling down, and the Jiannu on the entire front line was almost swept away.
The three red-armored soldiers of Jiannu formed a battle group back to back in the trenches, they were very powerful, killing and wounding several Ning Navy soldiers in white-knuckle combat, and at this moment, a ball of fire suddenly appeared under their feet, which was an incendiary grenade that exploded around them.
The three red-armored soldiers were quickly set on fire and turned into burning men, who let out heart-rending wails and jumped out of the trenches and rolled on the ground with an unpleasant sound.
A Ning Navy soldier subconsciously pointed his gun at these burning men, and was about to buckle the trigger, when an old soldier holding his waist roared: "Don't fire, let them burn!" They deserve it! ”
This Ning Navy soldier was stabbed in the fight just now, and he was severely injured in the abdomen.
The Ning Navy soldiers ignored the burning man, but continued to pursue along the trenches of Jiannu, there were not many people in the trenches of Jiannu, and in the face of the Ning Navy who jumped into the trenches one after another, these poor Jiannu soldiers panicked and scurried around like headless flies.
The soldiers of the Ning Navy naturally would not be polite to them, they wanted to fight, but the soldiers of the Ning Navy with revolvers saw one by one, even if they were injured!
The artillery of the Ning Navy was like a grim reaper, bombarding wherever there was a large number of Jiannu, and there was a scream everywhere they went, and the screams of Jiannu resounded throughout the battlefield!
There is no suspense in this battle anymore.
Shen Mingyu walked towards Cheng Shijie with a relaxed face and said, "Dashuai, we won." ”
Cheng Shijie looked at the Ning Navy soldier who fell to the ground and had lost his luster in his eyes, sighed and said: "This is a wake-up call for us, our army equipment is lagging behind!" In the face of a new form of warfare, the troops still have a lot to learn! ”
Jiannu has only learned the trench tactics of the Ning Navy now, and their biggest problem is that the artillery is seriously insufficient, if the Ning Navy is allowed to defend such a large area, the artillery strike will be at least three or four times more intensive. Of course, what is more critical is that the Ning Navy will concentrate the superior artillery at the first time and knock out the fire bull bulldozer.
However, although the power of this steam engine bulldozer is not high, and the control is also a little clumsy, but with a fire bull bulldozer, it will definitely be much more convenient for the Ning Navy when building trenches.
Yue Tuo naturally didn't have a chance to hear Cheng Shijie's words, if he heard Cheng Shijie's words, and thought that the density of the Ning Navy's army firepower was not enough, he would definitely cry like a dog.
Under the artillery blow of the Ning Navy, Jiannu suffered heavy losses, under the thunder of the artillery, the impregnable defense line that Jiannu thought was impregnable, collapsed in an instant, and the tide of the Ning Navy overflowed the already collapsed defense line, and opened a killing ring, everywhere there were a large number of strong soldiers who quickly rushed over, and everywhere there was a loud killing sound, and they had no way to escape.
Some Jiannu stuck to the trenches and resisted desperately, causing some casualties to the Ning Navy, but the Ning Navy did not let them feel better, smashed into the trenches like a hail of grenades, and then jumped into the trenches with spears or sapper shovels to fight with the Jiannu hand-to-hand, nailed them to the trenches with spears, or split their bodies with sapper shovels, or even cut off their heads!
As for the escapees......
No matter how fast they are, they can outrun the artillery? Under Yue Tuo's command, they are finished, completely finished!
The battle at Longgang Mountain soon ended.
The Jiannu of the Twelve Niulu, plus more than 1,500 men and horses of the Menghan Army Banner, a total of more than 5,000 people, if Chongzhen was four years ago, these more than 5,000 troops could run rampant in the encirclement of tens of thousands of Ming troops. If before the Battle of Baliwan, they dared to attack the front line of the defense line of tens of thousands of troops.
However, the current Jiannu, with complete fortifications and the cooperation of more than 20 artillery pieces, it is said that it is very difficult for the Ning Navy to destroy them.
In fact, Shen Ming attacked three times, and all of them returned, if it weren't for the appearance of the Fire Bull Bulldozer, which allowed them to quickly fill in the trenches of Jiannu, it is estimated that the losses in this battle would be heavier.
Shen Mingyu surrounded the three fire bull bulldozers, looking up and down, left and right, he looked at Cheng Shijie and said, "Dashuai, this thing is so easy to use!" ”
"Naturally easy to use!"
Cheng Shijie knew that in this battle, the fire bull bulldozer actually assumed the function of part of the armor, and this kind of iron guy who couldn't move and shoot through made Jiannu very desperate.
Shen Mingyu continued: "Marshal, our troops must be equipped with this kind of fire ox cart!" ”
"Do you know how expensive this ox cart is?"
"How expensive?"
"More than four thousand taels of silver!"
"Ah...... So expensive? ”
"Now the technology is not mature, there are still many problems, and the power is too small, and the run is slow!"
"That's needed, we ......"
Shen Mingyu told Cheng Shijie his thoughts that he hoped that every general manager would at least keep one of these fire ox carts, and once they encountered Jiannu digging trenches or refusing to defend the city, they could use this kind of fire ox cart to let Jiannu taste what it means to ask for impermanence.
The problem that Cheng Shijie considered was not the same as the one that Shen Mingyu considered, even if one was equipped with one fire ox cart, then the entire Ning Navy would need to be equipped with about two or three hundred.
Now that the size of the Ning Navy is too large, it is not cost-effective to equip immature equipment on a large scale, and after thinking about it, Cheng Shijie decided to set up an experimental team to specialize in experimenting with the new equipment of the troops.
……
Shenyang, Royal Palace.
When Huang Taiji received more than 5,000 troops under Yue Tuo's command, only more than 300 men and horses fled back, and almost all of them were wounded, his reaction was surprisingly calm, and he carefully inquired about Yue Tuoning's navy's attack on the defense line of Longgang Daying.
After pacifying Yue Tuo, Huang Taiji looked at the gray sky and was speechless for a long time.
Fan Wencheng said: "King Khan, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers......"
Without waiting for Fan Wencheng to finish speaking, Huang Taiji smiled bitterly: "The Ning Navy is getting stronger and stronger, before they defeated the elite of our Dajin Eight Banners in the Wild Wave Battle, and later defeated Zheng Zhilong and the Zheng fleet at sea, I heard that they also defeated Xiyi, whether it is land power or sea power, the Ning Navy is quite combat-effective, and the situation in Liaodong is getting more and more serious!" ”
Fan Wencheng also advised Huang Taiji not to be depressed, they still have a chance.
However, Huang Taiji paused for a moment and continued, "It's getting more and more serious. Fan Qing, Ben Khan has an ominous premonition, at most, within a year or two, there will be a shocking reversal in Liaodong, and the collapse of the Dajin Kingdom will start from Liaodong......"
Fan Wencheng was taken aback and said, "Won't it?" King Khan, are you worrying too much? The minions admit that the strength of the Ning Navy is increasing now, but they can only gain some advantages in the local battlefield, and the cavalry advantage of our Dajin Kingdom still exists, even if we can't rush their crossbow formation, we can't beat them, how can they let the Dajin Kingdom completely collapse? How is this possible? ”
Ben Khan is not sure, anyway, Ben Khan has such a premonition...... May Ben Khan's hunch be wrong. ”
Huang Taiji thought that he could repay the favor with his own way, in fact, they used trenches and fortress tactics to inflict less than 1,000 casualties on the Ning Navy, and in the battle of Longgang Mountain, the Ning Navy still played a proud record, a full one to five.
"King Khan, don't think like that, we still have a chance!"
"How can there still be a chance?"
"It's hard, but we still have a chance!"
Fan Wencheng smiled faintly and said: "There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, if the merit is high, the tail will not fall!" ”
"The merit is high and the master is shocked, and the tail is too big to fall?"
Huang Taiji's expression was gloomy, and his heart was heavy.
"The Ming Dynasty has a long tradition of civilizing and martial arts, and those ministers will not allow Cheng Shijie to be a big deal, and now that the Ning Navy has become a climate, maybe those ministers have begun to plan how to dismember the Ning Navy!"
In all fairness, Fan Wencheng is right, almost all the civil servants want to dismember the Ning Navy, and what they have is a way to divide and win over.
In addition to Cheng Shijie, there are also several mountains within the Ning Navy, if according to the ancestral hometowns of the personnel, the Ning Navy is basically dominated by the Shandong Gang and the Dongjiang Gang, the Henan Gang, Shaanxi and the Shandong Gang, and the soldiers of the Ning Navy are mainly from Shandong, Liaodong, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan.
But the problem is that these places have not formed an absolute mountain, taking Shen Mingyu as an example, if according to his ancestral hometown, Shen Mingyu is from Henan Guidefu, he should belong to the Henan Gang, in fact, he is the leader of the Shandong Gang, that is, Dengzhou Wei.
Including Shandong Zhang Yu, including Zhou An, Zhou Yandong, Chen Dayong, etc., the entire Shandong Gang is the first force in the Ning Navy, but with the annexation of the Dongjiang Army by the Ning Navy, the largest number of people is now the Dongjiang Army.
After the annexation of the Zheng group by the Ning Navy, the Fujian people have now become the largest faction in the army, and the surrender of the Zheng group is trying to twist the Zheng group's naval and land forces into a rope.
The Wenchen group of the imperial court tried to win over Li Zhixiang, Shen Shikui, Chen Shi and other generals of the Dongjiang Army, but it was a pity that they were unwilling to betray Cheng Shijie.
"Count on them...... I'm afraid I don't know how many years I'll have to wait! ”
Huang Taiji sighed.
Fan Wencheng shook his head and said, "Then we will add fire to them, and now Mongolia has completely surrendered to our Dajin Kingdom." We can't beat the Ning Navy in Liaodong, so let's change sides! ”
"Yours means ......"
"Let's go to Ningxia!"
Fan Wencheng said: "The Yellow River is harmful, and it is only profitable!" We can develop Ningxia, now Guanzhong has been made unshapely, as long as we gain a firm foothold in the Hetao area, we can lead the horse south and occupy Guanzhong! ”
Huang Taiji is also a person who has read history books, he knows that what Fan Wencheng said has a certain truth, back then the Tang Dynasty was to occupy the whale swallowing the world, and now Liaodong is blocked by the Ning Navy, and the Ning Navy has a strong navy, it is too difficult for them to develop in Liaodong, and the entire Liaodong Bay is full of Ning Navy's sphere of influence.
Moreover, the most prosperous areas in Liaodong are all in the coastal areas, and they have no ability to break the blockade circle of the Ning Navy.
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "But our Dajin Kingdom lacks enough talents!" ”
"Talent solutions can be well solved!"
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Now the people of Shaanxi and Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty do not save one, they lack food, lack of funds, the slave carefully studies the rise of Shijie, he is with a group of mud legs in Liaodong Tuntian, the people are too poor, there is no money to build farm tools, there is no money to improve water conservancy, repair ditches, as long as there is money, you can recruit displaced people from Daming, the development of the Hetao area, as long as the Hetao is passed, in just a few years, you can make the Hetao another Liaodong!" ”
Listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Huang Taiji became excited: "Fan Qing, this matter is handed over to you, Ben Khan doesn't have many other things, but a lot of silver, Ben Khan will give you 500,000 taels of silver, and give you 10,000 cows!" ”
"King Khan, rest assured, the minions will definitely handle this matter!"
After Fan Wencheng discussed with Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng to prepare 500,000 taels of silver, as well as more than 10,000 head of cattle, as well as 48 cattle drawn from the elite of the Eight Banners, and began to enter the Hetao westward.
Of course, the Murong Department of the Xianbei clan, because Murong Tuyuhun, the eldest son of Murong Shegui, was at odds with Murong Tuyuhun, the eldest son of Murong Tuyuhun, in order to avoid the split of Murong Xianbei, he automatically moved west to Mongolia with 1,700 households, and after development, the Tuyuhun Kingdom was formed.
Huang Taiji asked Haoge and Fan Wencheng to move west, and the purpose was the same.
Can't afford to fight, can't you hide?
After Fan Wencheng moved west, Huang Taiji sent his nephew Yue Tuo to Liaodong to meet with Cheng Shijie and conclude a peace treaty.
According to Cheng Shijie's strength, if he wants to attack Shenyang, it is not very difficult, in fact, Cheng Shijie has every chance to capture Shenyang.
The reason why Cheng Shijie did not take the initiative to launch an attack on Dajin Guo was probably not to raise his own respect.
Huang Taiji is actually wrong at this point, Cheng Shijie really doesn't have any meaning of raising self-respect, his most fundamental idea is to completely purge Luzon and develop agriculture in Luzon.
At first, the war to clear the indigenous Luzon was quite smooth, but in recent times, Luzon has also been in trouble, and the Spanish did not want to happily admit the consequences of losing Luzon, but their Spanish Empire was mired in the Thirty Years' War in Europe.
In this case, they decided to fight a proxy war with the Ning Navy in Luzon, and this agent, they chose to be a tenacious and crazy little day samurai.
With the seclusion of the shogunate in the small day, the living conditions of the samurai in the small day are getting worse and worse, especially a large number of samurai go bankrupt and become ronin, and the ronin in order to survive, it is all milk or mother.
The Spaniards took advantage of the opportunity of trading with the small day to recruit a large number of ronin from the country of the small day to form an army, and after some training, they were put into the Luzon War.
These small days can be much more powerful than the Luzon natives, especially after they go deep into the tropical rainforest of Luzon, they are as flexible as monkeys, they attack the logistics supply line of the Ning Navy army in Luzon from time to time, and the problem of the logistics supply line of the Luzon Ning Navy soon aroused Liu Qingsong's vigilance.
