The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 441
When he got to the place where the site was selected, Ding Yi suddenly felt that it was wonderful.

Beigou is a small river more than 700 meters long and about ten meters wide.

There is a road just in front of Beigou, and it is also the best way for soldiers and horses of the Houjin Dynasty to go.

There is a low hill hundreds of meters away on the left side of Beigou City. At that time, the left wall of Beigou City can be connected to this hill and become one whole, so the defensive area on the left side will be greatly reduced.

The right side of the new city can be connected to the Beigou River. One is to use the water in the river, and the other is to use the river as the right half of the moat, and the defense area on the right side is also much smaller.

"This place is really nice, better than Dalinghe Fort." Ding Yi laughed and shouted: "If Huang Taiji knows, he will definitely attack."

Back then, the Ming army built the Dalinghe Fort, which was thousands of miles away from Shengjing, but Huang Taiji knew that the strategic location of that place was very important, so he decisively sent troops to fight it, which caused the Ming army's Dalinghe defeat.

Now if Ding Yi let Huang Taiji know about Beigou City, the result would be no less than Dalinghe.

Once it is built by Ding Yi, it means that from then on, Houjin's soldiers and horses will be blocked to the north of Beigou City, and they will no longer be able to enter Fuzhou and Jinzhou.

Because there is no way to take the artillery here, if you come here on foot, you must be courting death.

Of course, you can also go around, from the east of the Golden State.

The other side is farther away, and it is full of high mountains, and Zhang Jing has chosen another place, and plans to build another city to completely stabilize the situation here.

After these two cities are built, Ding Yi will be safe and sound, and he will be fine wherever he goes, and Hou Jin will definitely not be able to attack.

"There are the most fertile fields in Jinzhou. Back then when we acquired Houjin, Houjin would definitely come and spoil us, not to mention we are still building castles." Ding Yi laughed and said: "Huang Taiji will definitely come to attack, so we must be the first to attack." Find a place to set up a position and let them attack us."

"If this battle hurts Hou Jin, Huang Taiji will not dare to touch us again in the next few years, and can only go to Ming Ting to regret."

The generals laughed.

But this battle is not small, and it can only be fought in the field around here, and it must be won.

You are going to lose, Huang Taiji knows that you want to build a city here, if he stays here and builds a fort first, Ding Yi will feel very uncomfortable.

Not only did the fields just planted this year feel insecure, but they would be attacked by Huang Taiji's Hongyi cannons at any time in the future.

So now we can only fight in the field, and repel Huang Taiji, and then build a city here.

Since field battles cannot be avoided, Ding Yi must choose the battlefield himself.

Because he felt that once he could fight on the battlefield he chose, it would definitely be beneficial to him.

He rode around with the generals and quickly selected the battlefield.

"It's right here." Their battlefield was chosen by the Beigou River.

"Field battles require artillery, and the Houjin soldiers must have brought a lot of artillery when they come this time." Ding Yi said slowly: "It is not easy to use artillery other ways. Their artillery can only come from the north."

Everyone nodded, infantry and cavalry can leap mountains and mountains, artillery you must take the road.

"We built artillery positions on the south side of the river. We dug tunnels and piled up high places, condescending, and hit the opposite side. This 700-meter-long river is the natural protection of our artillery positions."

"Let's infantry guard the left and right sides of the two rivers, and don't worry about the front of the river."

The generals nodded, Lord Ding knows how to use his brain in battle, so the artillery is safe, and the infantry only needs to guard three sides.

Zhang Jing asked: "The rice is growing now. I'm afraid that the golden cavalry will not go this way, and rush in to step on our rice fields."

Ding Yi used this trick in the past, and Hou Jinbing will definitely use it.

Ding Yi nodded: "Let them go in other places. They have a lot of cavalry, so we can't stop them."

"The premise is that they can go in and talk."

Ding Yi thought for a while: "You just said, where is another place? Want to build a city?"

"Under Baiyun Mountain, if we build Baiyun City under Baiyun Mountain, our Fuzhou, Baiyun, Beigou, Jinzhou, and four cities will be able to surround our territory as solid as gold."

While talking, Zhang Jing took out the map, opened it to Ding Yi, and pointed to the location of Baiyun Mountain.

Ding Yi saw that it was indeed a very good location. The north of Baiyun Mountain was also full of mountains, and a city was built on the south. Hou Jin wanted to come here, but he had to go further east to find a road, and further east was the sea, close to Huanggu Island. Fort direction.

Wouldn't it be sick to take such a long detour to fight Lushun in the future?

It’s okay for you cavalry to go around. If you go around with artillery, the artillery will not be able to reach it in two or three months.

"Are there fields under Baiyun Mountain?" Ding Yi asked at this time.

"Yes, the rice was just planted this year." Ruan Wenlong said, "It's on both sides of the road."

In the past, these fields were all planted by the post-Jin people of Jinzhou.

Ding Yi thought for a while: "Put all the paddy fields near the foot of Baiyun Mountain with water, more water, and soften the mud."

Ruan Wenlong's face changed slightly: "This will rot the roots and lose the harvest."

Ding Yi looked at the map and said slowly: "I'm afraid that Huang Taiji will send cavalry to come in from here."

"It's okay to lose some grain fields. This battle must be won. After winning, we can at least get a few years of stability."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well, don't be in a hurry to fill the grain fields with water. Once it is confirmed that Huang Taiji wants to come and beat us, then fill the water." Ding Yi said immediately.

"In addition, in places where there are no rice fields, dig holes. Just like last time, dig a small hole every few tens of centimeters. It doesn't need to be too deep, just as big as a palm."

"If his cavalrymen try to run, they will definitely fall down."

"If you can't run, we infantry can fight around them."

Ding Yi's method is also very good, and can be used on a large scale.

The hole he dug doesn't need to be big, just the size of a palm. A commoner can dig a hole a few times with a hoe or shovel.

This kind of small pit, if the cavalry stepped on it slowly, it would be fine.

But if you want to run wildly and step on it, you must fall down.

There is no need to dig and irrigate where there are paddy fields, and the fields will quickly become muddy.

That night, Ding Yi called a meeting to arrange troops and manpower.

He was basically sure that Huang Taiji would definitely come, unless Huang Taiji didn't know that they were going to build a city in Beigou, otherwise he would definitely come.

At this time, no matter how many people come from Huang Taiji, Ding Yi will mobilize more than 2 horses to fight a decisive battle with him.

Because according to Ding Yi's estimation of Hou Jin, there were [-] soldiers killed by Huang Taiji at this time, of which Hou Jin's elite was at most [-].

In the big battles in history, Huang Taiji usually sent [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, known as [-], and there must be a large number of auxiliary soldiers, who had to stay in their hometown.

So when Huang Taiji comes again, the maximum number of soldiers will be 2 to [-]. Ding Yi now has [-] people, so he dares to fight Huang Taiji with [-] to [-] in the field.

This is his confidence in his soldiers and horses.

A semi-modern army with nearly [-] musketeers can't defeat [-] to [-] barbaric cold weapons, so what's the point of his time travel?
That's right, Ding Yi just wanted to repel Huang Taiji, not destroy Huang Taiji.

After all, his cavalry is too small, and it is impossible to wipe out Huang Taiji.
