Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 81
An hour later.

Wu took the charcoal and strode into Huang Degong's admiral's Xingyuan.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Jiannu has really retreated, and he has retreated three miles away if he doesn't accept it at night."

While talking, Tian Xiong also came in and reported happily: "My lord, the number of enemies killed has been counted. A total of fifty-six Jiannu were killed, all of them were real slaves, including a white armor!"

In fact, Jiannu died more than this number.

But military merit must be based on the number of heads.

As for whether it is a real slave or the Eight Banners Han army, it is easy to identify, just look at the armor.

Because the armor rate of the real slaves is extremely high, almost everyone wears armor, and the last time is cotton armor.

The armor rate of the Eight Banners Han army is very low, and the armor is basically cotton armor, and there is very little iron armor.

"Beautiful!" Chongzhen nodded happily, and said to Wang Chengen, "Wang Daban, you go and get 2800 taels of silver and distribute it to the soldiers participating in this battle, and divide it equally according to the head."

"The old slave takes the decree." Wang Chengen promised to move the silver.

Chongzhen said to Huang Degong again: "Uncle Jingnan, although there is a high probability that the slaves will not come again tonight, it is still best to be careful, so the lantern soldiers on the periphery must be vigilant."

It turned out that the red lanterns that Oboi and the others saw before were for warning.

After seeing this red lantern, the Ming army on the blunderbuss platform in front of them will evacuate immediately, but the four blunderbuss platforms on the left and right sides and the side and rear will gather a large number of firearms, and they will attack them head-on after Jiannu enters the hub.

Coming out of the Admiral's Xingyuan, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help asking Chongzhen: "Father, my son is unclear about something."

"Do you want to ask, just told you during the day that you can't concentrate the firearms on the outer blunderbuss platform, but at night, the emperor slapped himself in the face?"

"Yes, please ask Father to clarify."

"Because of the cover of darkness at night, Jiannu can't see the mobilization of our troops and firearms, and therefore make targeted countermeasures. Therefore, on the premise of predicting the direction of Jiannu's main attack, we can boldly concentrate our troops and firearms to give advice. It is impossible to kill the slaves to the greatest extent during the day."

"That is to say, you can't stick to the rules?"

"Of course, nothing can be done in a rut."

While speaking, the father and son and a team of Yi Ding came to a gun platform.

"Lang'er, Jiong'er, let's stay here tonight." After finishing speaking, Chongzhen took the lead to walk up to the gun platform from the steps behind.

The Ming army on the gun platform slept on the ground because of the heat and did not enter the bunker, so when they saw Chongzhen and his son walking up surrounded by Yi Ding, they turned over and sat up.

"Your Majesty!" All the officers and soldiers showed reverence.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard all day, so hurry up and rest."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he took his two sons and sat down on the straw mat.

The army is tough, and it would be nice if the bottom soldiers could have straw mats.

Even though Chongzhen wanted to improve the conditions of the army, he was in no hurry.

After a while, there were snoring sounds one after another on the gun platform.

Only Meng Ketu, who was on duty as a guard, led a group of barbarians into the shadows, and kept looking around the gun platform with vigilant eyes.

……

Chongzhen had already fallen asleep, and slept soundly.

But Baiyintu, Aobai, Yabran, and even the entire Jiannu with the yellow flag couldn't sleep anymore.

After returning to the camp in disgrace, Bai Yintu rarely blamed Ao Bai, because he also realized that he did not blame Ao Bai for the failure of stealing the camp tonight, it was all his responsibility.

Bai Yintu asked, "Oboi, what's going on?"

Ao Bai then told the whole story from the beginning.

Baiyintu's expression became serious after listening to it: "That is to say, after entering the formation of the Ming army, no matter where we are, we will be bombarded by the Ming army's squatting cannons, right?"

"It's just my suspicion." Aobai said, "I'm not sure."

Bai Yintu said: "But it is an indisputable fact that the ring-shaped trenches around the blunderbuss platform and the connecting passage between the blunderbuss platform and the blunderbuss platform were all bombarded by the tiger squatting artillery of the Ming army."

"Yes." Aobai nodded heavily, "We have nowhere to hide."

"In this case, it will be troublesome." Baiyintu pulled out a dagger from the elbow pad, then squatted down and used the dagger to draw a map on the ground, first drawing a big circle.

Obai and Yabran squatted down.

Bai Yintu pointed to the drawn circle and said, "According to what Ye Bushou has detected, there are Ming army's blunderbusses all over the area ten miles in front, at least a thousand."

After all, there is no way to look down from a high altitude.

Therefore, the Baiyin map overestimated the number of blunderbuss.

"Although there are not many Ming Dynasty defenders on each gun platform,"

"But there are too many gun platforms that can't hold up."

"If we push one by one blunderbuss,"

"When will it be delayed? It may not be possible for a year."

"Your Excellency's words are very true." Aobai believed deeply, "If we move forward at the speed of four blunderbusses a day, it will take more than two hundred days for [-] blunderbusses, more than half a year."

"We can't afford to take that long."

"Sure, otherwise the two white flags would have died of a joke."

"Then the question is, how to break the situation now?"

The three Jiannu were deep in thought, but they got nothing from thinking hard for a long time.

In the end, it was Yabran who said, "My lords, why don't you call Zu Zerun and his fellow Han officials over here? These Han subjects are always cunning, maybe they can come up with a useful coup."

"Success, let them come." Bai Yintu said happily.

Soon, Zu Zerun, Geng Jimao and Gao Di were all called over.

And Wang Aoyong, who was appointed by Dorgon to come to Shandong to appease him, also took the initiative to follow.

After listening to Baiyintu's explanation, Zu Zerun, Geng Jimao, and Gao Di looked at each other in blank dismay. Why did the tactics of the Ming army feel so familiar?It seems to be similar to the tactics they used in Ningyuan Jinzhou before?It's just that the blunderbuss built by the Ming army here are simpler, but the number is much larger.

Wang Aoyong asked Baiyintu: "Master Baiyintu, you said that there were only dozens of Ming Dynasty defenders on each gun platform? The firearms were only dozens of bird guns and two tiger crouching cannons?"

"Yes." Bai Yintu asked, "What advice does Wang Shilang have?"

"Lord Baiyintu speaks too seriously." Wang Aoyong said flatteringly, "I don't have any great opinions here, but I still have a little opinion, maybe I can help you."

"Bah!" Ao Bai yelled angrily, "You Han dogs just talk a lot of nonsense, so just talk straight."

"Uh, yes, yes." Wang Aoyong was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Actually, it is not difficult to crack the Ming army's blunderbuss, just call in more Han troops. A blunderbuss is only a few dozen Ming defenders. When the Qing Dynasty sent tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Han troops to attack the outermost blunderbusses at the same time, the Ming army blunderbusses had no chance to support each other."

"This?" Aobai, Baiyintu and Yabran were stunned for a moment, this was something they did not expect.

Because all along, Jiannu practiced the principle of elite soldiers, and every time dozens of Eight Banners soldiers died in battle, it would make the banner owners Baylor of each banner feel distressed for a long time.

So they really can't think of crowd tactics.

Yes, what Wang Aoyong was talking about was the tactics of fighting against the Ming army.

No matter how ingenious the design of the Ming army's blunderbuss array is, "My Great Qing soldiers" don't follow your rhythm at all, and directly invest ten times or even [-] times the force to attack all the outermost blunderbuss at the same time. In this way, the peripheral gun platforms cannot support each other.

However, the tiger crouching cannon that only relies on the second heavy gun platform has dead ends.

Therefore, the "Great Qing soldiers" can be peeled off layer by layer.

"Wonderful!" Aobai and Bai Yintu, who knew things well, praised at the same time.

Gao Di, Zu Zerun, and Geng Jimao cast angry glances at Wang Aoyong.

Damn, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Han troops were dispatched to attack at the same time?It wasn't your civil servants who co-authored and died, right?Do you really think that the life of our Han army is not life?
Bai Yintu sighed in admiration, and said: "Unfortunately, this method can't be used."

This method is really useless, at least not now, because the Han army is not enough.

This time, apart from the 3000 soldiers from the Zhenghuang Banner Han army, only Gaodi's 3000 surrendered soldiers followed Baiyintu to the south. Now the two Han armies add up to only [-] troops left.

"You smart dogs are full of evil ideas." Aobai scolded, "Apart from this, is there any other way?"

The smile on Wang Aoyong's face became more obsequious and humble: "My lord Oboi, other than this method, the only way to do it is to use red cannons to bombard the Ming army's blunderbuss directly."

"The Hongyi cannon is useless." Yabran said, "There is a slope protection in front of the Ming army's gun platform, so it can't be hit."

"No, no, no, we can." Wang Aoyong said, "Our Qing soldiers can build a high platform outside the slope protection of the Ming army's gun platform, and then mount the Hongyi cannon on the high platform to bombard the gun platform condescendingly, which will be more powerful. .”

"It's a good idea." Aobai's eyes lit up, "I didn't bring the Hongyi Cannon, but I brought the Frang Cannon, and the No. [-] Frang Cannon should be enough."

"That's it." Bai Yintu hit the knot hard, and said to Gao Di, "General Gao, I entrust you with the construction of the high platform. You must build 15 two-foot-high forts in one day!"

"Ah, one day?" Gaudi was stunned upon hearing this.

"Why?" Obai said coldly, "How many more days do you want?"

"No, no, no problem." Gao Di quickly changed his words, "It will be fixed within a day."

Watching Zu Zerun and the other three leave, Oboi couldn't help spitting out thick phlegm, and snorted: "These dogs are cheap, if you don't give them some strength, you won't be on the road, really."

"Oboi, can you stop talking like a dog and shutting your mouth like a dog?"

Bai Yintu frowned and said: "The former emperor and the regent have repeatedly said that we must respect the Han people, especially the Eight Banners Han army, and we must try our best to treat them as our own."

"Treat him as one of us?" Obai said with great disdain, "I can't do that."

"You." Bai Yintu shook his head helplessly, and persuaded, "The former emperor is gone now, and you really should change your temperament, or you will suffer sooner or later."
