Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 171 Mutation
"Great Khan, Lord Belle. This Ming army, called the Strong Land Army, has only emerged in the past few months. I have never heard of it before.

Our Fan family first heard about Qiangdi because the products they produce are extremely exquisite, and many mechanisms are as clever as heaven.

Our Fan family is in business, and we have always been curious about these things, so we once sent people to Qiangdi to inquire about them.

Da Ming had never had this Zhuge artifact before.Even now, in other places in Ming Dynasty, I have never heard of such an artifact. "

"Oh? Are you sure? There is no such artifact in other places in Ming Dynasty! You seem to have said that Qiangdi is just a small fire pier in Xuanfu Town?" Yue Tuo asked with some doubts.

"As the lord said, Qiangdi is indeed just a small road pier. This is also the weirdness.

But this is absolutely unmistakable.Xiaomin was also curious about the reason, so he had sent Gouzi to force the ground a few days ago.

Now this information was just sent by Gouzi.It's all because of that guy named Zhao Cheng, who has now been promoted to a garrison officer.

He got the mantle of Zhuge Wuhou and the inheritance of Mohism.In a short period of time, he produced thousands of firecrackers and thousands of sets of battle armor.

He can also create a rock-solid road surface, dozens of miles away, like a complete boulder cut flat..."

"Nonsense! Isn't this just nonsense? Do you believe Fan Yongdou? Or, you did it on purpose at all, trying to confuse the public? Disturb our army?"

Yue Tuo got annoyed and scolded angrily.

His character was originally very violent and straightforward.

He and Daishan are father and son.

After their grandfather Nurhachi died of illness, the father and son split up Zhenghongqi and Xianghongqi.

As one of the four Baylors, Daishan intends to compete for the position of Great Khan.

But the two red flags have always been weak, and their chances of success are not great.

Yue Tuo persuaded his father, Dai Shan, to put the overall situation first and support Huang Taiji's ascension to the throne.

It was precisely because of the support of the two red flags that Huang Taiji was able to secure his position.

But Yue Tuo didn't benefit from it afterwards. On the contrary, because of his upright character, he often offended Huang Taiji and made Huang Taiji unhappy.

Hearing what Fan Yongdou said now, he wanted to draw his sword.

"Yueto!"

Huang Taiji scolded, and looked at Yue Tuo with displeasure.

He made Fan Yongdou speak on purpose, but Yue Tuo frightened Fan Yongdou.

"Humph!"

Yue Tuo snorted coldly and didn't say anything more, but he was obviously dissatisfied.

"My lord, don't be angry. I don't dare to talk nonsense. My son wrote to me. I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. This Zhuge magic gun was indeed made by Zhao Cheng.

Moreover, Zhao Cheng can make thousands of them in a short period of time.This time he set off with more than 1000 people.Now Qiangdi has recruited [-] new troops and is training. They are called Qiangdi training. "

"Wow—"

Fan Yongdou's words completely exploded in the big tent.

"What? Another three thousand new recruits? Strong training?"

"The more than 1000 people have already caused us such a heavy loss. If there are another 3000 people, how can we fight?"

"..."

Huang Taiji looked at everyone coldly.

After everyone finished discussing, they calmed down, and then slowly said:

"Soldiers, everyone heard it. It's all because of Zhao Cheng. These 1000 people are indeed difficult to fight.

But as long as we gather the strength of the whole family, we can still fight and win.

But if we retreat today, let him go.The next time we confront each other, there will be no more than 1000 people, but 5000, 1, or even more..."

What Huang Taiji said made everyone shudder.

[-] such a sturdy and powerful army, I can't even imagine it!

"So, we have no way out. This is a critical moment for the survival of our Dajin Kingdom. We must take Guihua City and Zhao Cheng at all costs.

As long as Zhao Cheng is in our hands, we have also mastered the method of making Zhuge's artifact, and the clansmen who died in battle today will all be worth it.

Our Dajin Kingdom will usher in even greater glory.Brothers, just let your clansmen fight.

I, Huang Taiji, are here, and I swear to the Shaman God, and to my late father Khan, that our Dajin Kingdom will never let you down, and will never let your status be lowered because of the reduction in the number of troops in your hands.

As long as you win the battle, I will give you a chance, replenish you with a lot of young men, and replenish you with young women, so that they can multiply for your clansmen!

Your tribe will become more prosperous than before! "

Huang Taiji pulled out his waist saber, and raised the waist saber with a sonorous and powerful voice.

There is a voice in his heart telling him that this is a battle related to the life and death of Dajin Kingdom.

"This will be our last chance to kill this man. If we can't kill him, our Dajin country is in danger!"

The Queen Mother said loudly.

"Listen to the Great Khan! Kill that man!"

"Kill that man!"

All Baylor followed suit and shouted.

After the Eight Banners army was rectified, it began a fierce battle with the Ming army.

Huang Taiji personally sat in the town, dispatched troops and generals, and launched attacks one after another.

"The Zhenglan Banner suffered heavy losses because it fought against the Ming army. People in the Zhenglan Banner can die in battle, but the Zhenglan Banner cannot be cancelled. Dege took over the Zhenglan Banner and became the owner of the Zhenglan Banner. Choose the brave fighters from the Mongolian flag and the Han army flag, and raise the flag into the Zhenglan flag.

The Eight Banners, the Mongolian Banner, and the Han Army Banner took turns attacking Guihua City day and night, absolutely not giving the Ming army time to rest.

Our advantage is the large number of people.Boil them to death. "

At this moment, Huang Taiji regained his glory.

With an army of 20, how could it be impossible to defeat the Guihua City position defended by more than a thousand people?
It has to be said that Huang Taiji is very charismatic.

A large number of Mongols and Han army bannermen raised the flag, completed the Zhenglan Banner, and let Mangurtai's younger brother Dege Lei take over the Zhenglan Banner, which instantly boosted the morale of the Eight Banners army.

What the banner owners are most worried about is that they will be canceled after their own family damage is too great.

As long as they can be replenished, they are not afraid.

From sunset to midnight, the Dajin Kingdom's attack has not stopped.

They took turns to fight.

The army rushed up like a tide, and was repelled. Another batch of replenishment came up, and it was like a tide rushing up again...

In the Ming army's position in Guihua City, bright military searchlights illuminated the night as if it were day.

A charging army can be seen clearly.

The sound of cannons and gunshots is endless.

From time to time, the Ming army seized the opportunity and launched a countercharge.

However, the counter-charges were all small in scale.

The Dajin army kept dropping batches of corpses.

Standing under Dazhao, Huang Taiji looked at the battlefield as bright as day from a distance, and remained silent for a long time.

In this world, there really is such a miraculous thing.

This made him look forward to it while being shocked.

"If I, Dajin, can have these Zhuge artifacts..."

Huang Taiji's eyes were burning.

It's not impossible.

Although the battle was arduous and the losses were heavy, the Ming army also became tired.

adhere to!

Huang Taiji knew that the fight at this time was to see who could persevere to the end.

Perhaps the next moment, the Ming army's position will collapse.

……

"Hold on! The Tartars are about to reach their limit! Our firepower is so fierce that they won't be able to charge up at all!"

Zhao Cheng held a loudspeaker in his hand and yelled over and over again in front of the position.

The soldiers are too tired.

Not only to fight, but also to clean up the battlefield after each battle.

On the one hand, it is to add some iron hedgehogs.

Because every time the Tartars retreated, they would take away some iron hedgehogs.

Obviously, this is also their strategy.

If it weren't for the existence of iron hedgehogs all over the mountains and plains, the Tartars' cavalry charge could not be stopped at all with only the Minie rifles and Napoleon artillery.

After all, the number of strong soldiers is too small.

Anti-tank repelling horses, electric cat and mousetrap...

These are Zhao Cheng's reliance.

Zhao Cheng selected a group of prisoners from the Han Army Banner and gave them the opportunity to clean up the battlefield and replenish new anti-tank repelling horses.

There are Qiangdi Army and Huai'an Army in the back to supervise.

Nothing went wrong.

Sell ​​the loot to the system mall, and then buy gasoline, anti-tank horses, bottles, and various supplies from the system mall.

The result is a surplus.

In this way, the tug-of-war continued for several days.

Although the strong army is extremely exhausted, the pressure on Huang Taiji's side is even greater.

"Khan, I really can't fight anymore! I know this is a moment of life and death for us in Jianzhou, and it is very important to win this Zhao. But we can't fight at all! Besides, we have nothing to eat! Soldiers They're all catching mice and eating them now!"

Yue Tuo said with a sad face.

This battle was totally unexpected.

Part of the supplies Shen Qi gave them for the peace talks were grain, and the other part was silk, cattle and horses, etc.

Cows and horses can be killed and eaten, but it takes time to replace silk and satin with food.

They chased the strong army, and they ran out of food.

Huang Taiji's hands trembled slightly.

He had already received the news.

The Eight Banners Army is slightly better.

The Mongolian flag and the Han army flag have already run out of food, and they only eat one meal a day, and they still can't get enough.

All the mice around were caught by them.

A lot of people dig mouse holes.

Herdsmen love the turf of the grassland very much, but now, in order to eat a bite, they can use the iron knife in their hands to dig the turf, dig a big hole, go to the mouse hole to eat the mouse, and there is a mouse hole to dig. The grass seeds produced are all thrown into the pot to make soup for drinking.

no way!
When Lin Danhan ran away, he informed the surrounding tribes that they all ran away.

The Mongols also knew that the Jurchens in Jianzhou were fighting their Khan. If they didn't run away, they would be killed and their cattle and sheep would be taken away.

So much so that even if Huang Taiji wanted to snatch cattle and sheep, he couldn't.

The only thing that can be eaten is the rats that can be seen everywhere on the grassland.

Listen to Yue Tuo's words, and then look at the expectant faces in the big tent.

Obviously, Yuetuo is not the only one who has this idea.

Everyone doesn't want to fight anymore.

The number of Jurchens is small, and they simply cannot afford too many casualties.

If it hadn't been for Huang Taiji to suppress everyone with the survival of the tribe, everyone would have stopped fighting.

If so, everyone obviously couldn't hold on for long, and they were about to collapse.

Choking!
Huang Taiji suddenly pulled out his waist knife, and slammed it on the table.

"As I said, this battle is related to the life and death of our Dajin Kingdom! Anyone who dares to propose a retreat, beheaded!"

Huang Taiji's voice was stern, and he didn't leave any thought for everyone.

Then, he changed his tone and said:
"As for the food, don't worry, I will make arrangements. Jierhalang."

"The slave is here."

Jierharang immediately agreed.

"You lead Xianglan Banner to Xuanfu Town and ask Shen Chen to give us some more food. If he dares not to give it, you will lead troops to attack the city and scare him."

Jierhalang is Huang Taiji's confidant, and he listens to Huang Taiji's words very much.

Therefore, after defeating Amin, Huang Taiji asked Jierhalang to replace Amin and take charge of the Xianglan Banner.

Huang Taiji now arranged for Jierhalang to go to Xuanfu Town to ask for food. On the one hand, food is the lifeblood of the army, so it would be more reassuring to let his confidants go.

On the other hand, it is also intentional for Jierharang to preserve his strength.

This battle was fought too fiercely.

Huang Taiji also had to think more and make more preparations.

If he directly asked his two yellow flags to urge food, his intention to preserve his strength would be too obvious, and he was afraid that other flag owners would have ideas and would not agree.

It is most appropriate to let Jierhalang, who is close to him, go.

"Yes, master."

Jierharang agreed, turned and left.

Food is a major issue, and he dare not be negligent in the slightest.

On the second day after Jierhalang left with his troops, Huang Taiji had just squinted his eyes and slept for a while in the big tent, when he was woken up by a low-pitched quarrel outside.

Huang Taiji was shocked and stood up.

When he sleeps, he is also wearing a battle armor.

Last night, the army's attack did not stop, even if Huang Taiji wanted to sleep, he couldn't sleep.

His eyes were bloodshot and his face was haggard, but he was in good spirits.

"What happened outside the account?" Huang Taiji asked.

"Master, Tong Yangxing, the commander of the Han Army Banner, reported military affairs. The slave saw that you just fell asleep, so the master stopped him..."

"Bastard! The military situation is urgent. Can you afford to delay you? Let someone come in!"

Huang Taiji scolded.

"Yes, master. The slave is guilty. The slave will let people in."

Soon, Tong Yangxing came in in a hurry, saluted with horseshoes first, and knelt down to Huang Taiji.

"The slave has seen the master. I am eager to disturb..."

"Forget it! Tell me quickly! What's going on?" Huang Taiji interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Master, it's not good. Our big camp is fine... It seems that there is a plague." Tong Yangxing said.

"What?" Huang Taiji's voice trembled a little, "What's going on?"

"Yes... It was this morning. Two soldiers died in the camp. The doctor saw it and said it was lump disease. In our camp, many people had fever and coughed up blood..." Tong Yangxing had fear on his face.

Pimple disease, also known as the plague, is extremely terrifying in this era.

"How could this happen!" Huang Taiji's body swayed slightly, and he almost lost his footing.

At such a time, pimple disease suddenly broke out in the army...

Of course he knew what that meant.
