I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 92 Azig's Extinct Plan
Chapter 091

The confinement illuminates Kyushu, and a few are happy and a few are sad.

The officers and men of the Ning Navy were extremely excited, although those soldiers of the Ning Navy who were from the Dengzhou Guard didn't know how powerful Jiannu was, they just heard about it.However, the Ning Haijun soldiers from the Dongjiang Army not only knew how powerful Jiannu was, but also experienced it personally.

Jiannu's army is also divided into three, six, and nine ranks. At the age of 15, you can become a bannerman. However, after participating in the physical, intellectual, and military assessments, those who pass the test are given the infantry armor, and the outstanding ones are the vest.Infantry and armor can go to the battlefield.

If you take a head over a hundred levels, you can become a red-armored soldier. After becoming a red-armored soldier, after passing through the red-armored soldiers, you will be selected one out of a hundred, and you can become a white-armored soldier, that is, a white-armored soldier.In the later period of Nurhachi, there were only more than [-] white armor soldiers in the entire Eight Banners.

The white armored soldiers were well equipped, wearing three layers of iron armor, weighing about 240 kilograms, they could shoot without fear of the Ming army's knives, arrows, and spears. Except for their faces, there were almost no holes.In the Battle of Songjin, six white armored soldiers fought against 240 Ming soldiers, and wiped out [-] Ming soldiers without any casualties.

Of course, during the period of Huang Taiji, the number of red-armored soldiers and white-armored soldiers who built slaves began to increase sharply. Massacre civilians and get promoted to Red Armored Soldiers, while White Armored Soldiers are selected in proportion.In the later period of Nurhachi, a Niulu could draw up to 140 armored soldiers, but now, of the [-] cavalry under Azig's command, three-quarters of them are red armored soldiers, and more than [-] white armored soldiers.

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

Even if there is only one cavalryman of Niulu, he can chase and kill tens of thousands of Ming troops.

In the past, if the Ming army wanted to wipe out a Niulu Jiannu, it would suffer three or even five times the casualties, but the soldiers of the Ning Navy shot and killed three hundred Jiannu with zero casualties.

Especially those Ning Haijun soldiers who were born in the Dongjiang Army looked at Cheng Shijie with awe in their eyes.In terms of martial prowess, the Dongjiang Army actually has no shortage of warriors, not to mention Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, like Mao Youjun and Mao Yourong, they are also fierce men who can face up to the slave white armor soldiers.

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

Where is it like this, spearmen, sword and shield players, including crossbowmen don't even have a chance to make a move.

The army is a place where strength is concerned. If one person can lead soldiers to successive victories, these soldiers are willing to fight with such a general, even if they know it is death, they are not afraid.

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

Some Ning Navy soldiers held their rice bowls and taunted Jiannu while eating horse meat: "This horse meat tastes good, give some more to grandpa!"

"If I can have this kind of 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 happened?"

"Of the more than 300 slaves, only 160 heads were cut off!"

"impossible!"

"It's true, the other heads are all broken, ouch, what a pity!"

Cheng Shijie is now the same as other soldiers, with an iron pot in front of him. In the iron pot, a large piece of horse meat is simmering in 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-spaces, he never embarrasses himself when it comes to eating. There is spicy hot pot base in his pot. In the cold windy weather, eating spicy hot pot is a wonderful enjoyment.

Originally Cheng Shijie was surrounded by Zhang Yu, Liu Qingsong, Zhou Ning and others,
"Come and taste the horse meat!"

Shen Mingyu was not too polite, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of horse meat. Just as the horse meat entered his mouth, a strong smell of beef stimulated his taste buds. He gave Cheng Shijie a thumbs up: "Marshal, Your horse meat is delicious!"

With more than 300 war horses on the battlefield, no horse meat was wasted at all.

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

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "If you win, of course it's easy!"

Li Zhixiang was a little sad: "Unfortunately, Shuai Mao couldn't see..."

"you shut up!"

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

Shen Mingyu quickly changed the topic: "Marshal, what shall we do next?"

"Let's spend time here with Jiannu. If we need to reclaim wasteland in Jinzhou, we will reclaim it, and if we need to build a factory, we will build a factory!"

Cheng Shijie smiled proudly: "We still have 60 shi of grain, which is enough for the entire army of the Ning Navy to eat for more than ten months, and they will be consumed to death!"

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

Cheng Shijie said: "We want to build a new defense system. This defense system is composed of ditches and parapets. The parapet does not need to be too high, chest-high, but it must be strong. At least it can prevent the Jiannu cavalry from collapsing. A parapet, Below is a ditch!"

What Cheng Shijie brought out was the trench warfare consisting of trenches, barbed wire, and mines of later generations, which was the standard tactic during World War I.

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

Cheng Shijie took a broken arrow and drew it directly on the ground, so that it would be easy for Ning's navy generals to understand.

According to Cheng Shijie's judgment based on the information of later generations, the number of cannons in Huang Taiji's hands is now three to four hundred, and the main sources of seizures are the seizures in the second year of Chongzhen and the battle of Dalinghe.No matter how few Jiannu's cannons were, they would definitely have Hongyi cannons in their hands. The Hongyi cannons with their range advantage would cause a lot of casualties to Ning Haijun.

Although after reuniting with Shen Mingyu and adding the artillery of Denglai's new army, Ning Haijun now has 96 artillery pieces, but there are only ten Hongyi gates, of which 86 are Flang machine artillery pieces.

In terms of artillery battles, Ning Haijun still does not have an absolute advantage, so he must use trenches to eliminate Jiannu's artillery.

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

The ground is frozen solid?Simple, burn a fire on the ground, wait for the fire to melt the permafrost, and then dig the soil, it will be much simpler.The warm soil was slapped into an earthen wall, and as 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 cow record would not hurt Azig, it made him feel very shameless, and he said angrily: "The whole army presses up and tramples these smart dogs into the mud! "

"Master, calm down!"

Borzi said: "The Ming army has too many firecrackers and cannons. If we press three thousand horses, even if they are all dead, it may not be effective. If we lose so many cattle records, we will lose a lot of money." But they are all masters!"

Borzi was very smart, he actually wanted to say that after losing these nine records, Huang Taiji would not let Azig go.But he couldn't say that, if he said that, Azig would become furious and push the whole army up regardless.

"Ben Baylor doesn't believe that their firecrackers don't explode, their cannons don't burn, and their crossbow arrows can't be fired!"

"Master wants to consume Minggou's guns and cannonballs. This is actually simple, so don't let our people do it!"

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

Borji is actually not a Jurchen, but a Mongol. Although he is the first leader of Xiangbaiqi, that is, Zhalan Erzhen, his trilogy is actually not a Jurchen, but a Jurchen.

Azig's Mongolian tribe is in later generations, with more than [-] riders, who are responsible for guarding the prisoners of the Ming army.

"Master, have you forgotten that we have more than [-] Minggou prisoners of war in our hands, wouldn't it be better to use them to consume Minggou's guns and shells?"

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

The most trusted people in Jiannu must be their own people, followed by the Mongols, and the Han army who surrendered. The current Han army is Meile Zhangjing, Bao Chengxian, Sun Degong and others, and the Han Eight Banners have not yet been established.

On the one hand, Azig urged the Mongolian cavalry behind to escort the Ming army prisoners of war to come quickly, on the other hand, he was drinking wine and eating roast lamb.

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

With the rapid excavation of parapets and trenches, Song Xiance suggested to Cheng Shijie: "My lord, you can't let the soldiers of the Ning Navy do this kind of rough work. Let them maintain sufficient physical strength. If Jiannu doesn't fight or retreat, he must wait for the rear." Reinforcements or artillery come over, wait for them to come, I'm afraid a big battle is coming!"

Cheng Shijie is also a kind person. He thought that Song Xiance's analysis was very reasonable, so he asked, "Your idea is to transfer the soldiers from the field?"

"Yes, this kind of trench is quite laborious to dig, so we can only call in soldiers from the field. My lord is not short of food now. Find some work for the soldiers in the field, so that they can settle down quickly!"

"Okay, let me handle this matter!"

The Ming army stayed up all night, because with Cheng Shijie's arrival in southern Liaoning, two-thirds of the Ning Navy's navy was responsible for transporting the soldiers and their families in the field.When the convoy was about to dock directly at Jinzhou Port, it received Cheng Shijie's order to turn around and head north.

As the Tuntian Army docked at Gaizhou Port, they still diverted. The old, weak, women and children went south to Jinzhou, while the young and strong stayed in Gaizhou to help Ning Navy soldiers dig trenches and repair parapets.

Cheng Shijie doubled the wages of these migrating garrison soldiers, that is, two buckets of food every day.

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

In fact, as more and more field soldiers join the project, at this rate, they can repair the line of defense to Gaizhou City at most at night.

Early the next morning, Azig stared at the parapet built by Ning Haijun at the foot of the mountain and frowned, "It's strange, what kind of medicine is sold in Minggou's gourd? I have fought for so many years, and I have seen all battles, but I have never seen it." Such a strange fortification."

Borzi's attention was attracted by the parapet that was less than a person's height, and he sneered: "Ming Gou actually wants to use such a thin mud fence to block my Eight Banners elite? Don't you underestimate us?"

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

Azige said with a gloomy face: "In the battle of Daling River, King Khan besieged the Ming army with three trenches. It lasted three months. The Ming army in the city was so hungry that they ate human flesh. This time, the Ming army used the same method. Dig trenches and keep us out!"

"Wouldn't it be better for them to lock themselves up?"

"idiot!"

Azig pointed to the south and said, "It's more than 120 miles away from Jinzhouwei, and more than 240 miles away from Lushun. They have sailors who can help them keep bringing food. It's us who will starve to death, not us." them!"

Borzi said: "Then send people to beat them up, we can't let them repair the fortifications at ease!"

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

Borzi can be regarded as shooting himself in the foot. Now he can't wait to slap himself a few times, talk 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 subordinate Shena, in Mongolian Shena means wolf.

This confidant commander is also surnamed Duoben Meiergan. In terms of honor, the Borzigit family is far inferior to Duobenmeiergan. The surname is the surname of the country. In the Ming Dynasty, the Zhao family was far inferior to the Zhu family.

She Na led more than [-] riders under his command and swept towards the camp like a hurricane.It seems that Jian Nu also realized that this seemingly crude fortification is weird.

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

Cheng Shijie knew what would happen to these guys without even looking.What drove cavalry out of battle?It's not the minigun that was blown like an artifact to destroy the country, but barbed wire and heavy machine guns. The former makes it difficult for the cavalry to move forward, and the latter makes the cavalry's never-ending charge turn into moths to the flame!

Cheng Shijie doesn't have the ability to make a heavy machine gun, but a Thunderbolt is enough!He ordered: "Yuan Shiliang, command the artillery! Bomb these bastards to death!"

Yuan Shiliang muttered together with several Western staff officers who had calculated their figures.

When these Mongolian cavalrymen entered a distance of [-] steps from the parapet, sixteen French cannons fired at the same time. As the cannons led and burned, balls of fire were ejected from the barrels of the cannons. , Falling into the formation of the Mongolian cavalry attack.

The Mongolian cavalry squadron immediately splashed a rain of blood. The heavy shot with powerful kinetic energy was rampaging. Whether it was a man or a horse in front of it, it was full of blood plasma, torn tendons and broken bones. Get up, disgusting.

Sixteen cannons fired a volley, and the Mongolian cavalry was knocked down by more than a hundred people, and the effect was not bad.However, they only had time to fire one cannonball. Before they could load the second cannonball, the Mongolian cavalry had already charged forward. Although the cannonball could be fired, there were no Mongolian cavalry in the firing range.

Cheng Shijie smiled: "These bastards are really clever!"

It's just that these Mongolian cavalry were so clever that they rushed directly into the minefield.The speed of the Mongolian cavalry is getting faster and faster, and the artillery has no chance to aim at the target.

The Mongolian cavalry archers drew their horn bows like a full moon, and the arrows were like beads. As the bowstring trembled, a dense rain of arrows poured out towards the Ning naval position.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

As the rain of arrows fell, there were sporadic screams from Ning Haijun's position. It was obvious that someone had been hit by an arrow. Although the breast wall can provide them with good protection, after all, the breast wall is not a panacea, and there will still be arrows thrown from it. Go over the parapet and shoot them, causing Ning Haijun casualties.

However, the problem is that the Ning Navy's counterattack also arrived as scheduled, with more than [-] crossbow machines firing crossbow arrows at the Mongolian cavalry.

A row of crossbow arrows swept across, and there was a piercing scream, and a large area of ​​the Mongolian cavalry crowded in front of the parapet fell down.After shooting, the soldiers of the Ning Navy handed over the crossbow to the comrades in the trenches, took the loaded crossbow from their hands, sketched briefly, and pulled the trigger again.

This time the screams of the Mongolian cavalry came even more fiercely, and the Mongolian cavalry crowded in front of the parapet was almost wiped out, whether it was people or horses, they all turned into piles of corpses.

Including Borzi's confidants, more than [-] cavalrymen were shot and killed in just one stick of incense.

Seeing that the Jiannu and the Mongols were not about to attack, many Ning Navy soldiers directly took the hooks, hooked the Mongol corpses into the trenches, and then cleaned the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Azig heaved a long sigh.

"It's weird!"

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

Azig hit the real iron board.

This time, the Ning Navy didn't even fire the Thunderbolt, or even detonate the mines, and more than [-] Mongolian cavalry were wiped out.

Azig's face was very stinky right now, even worse than eating dog poop.

None of the surrounding slave generals dared to touch Azig's bad luck.

The soldiers of the Ning Navy were beaming, and sealed the naked corpses of the Mongols in front of the formation, forming a wall of corpses. As for the horses that were shot, they became the meat in the mouths of the soldiers of the Ning Navy.This time, more horse meat was obtained, even if the Ning navy soldiers opened their stomachs to eat, they would not be able to finish it.

Cheng Shijie distributed the excess horse meat to the Tuntian soldiers, and Ning Haijun's Tuntian soldiers were so moved that they ate the horse meat.Some of them couldn't remember the last time they ate meat, and even if they caught a rabbit occasionally, they would not be willing to eat it, and would sell it to buy salt.

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

After five days of intensive construction, 58 hundred households in the fields were used, and the defense line of the Ning Navy has been initially formed. It is connected to Gaizhou City in the west and Jinshi Mountain in the east.

Well now, Jiannu wants to take another detour to Jinzhouwei, either by sea, or directly attacking Gaizhou City, or looking through Jinshi Mountain, this mountain is actually the Changbai Mountains, the remaining veins of thousands of mountains.More importantly, there is an ancient city on the top of the mountain, and Ning Haijun sent the Zhou Ning Department to guard it.

Although it is impossible to completely block Jiannu's southward path, Cheng Shijie can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At the end of November in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou became the governor of the three sides. He really stepped onto the stage of history.

Azig's prisoners of war of the Ming army, who were eager to see through, also arrived in a stumble.

Azige ordered people to select [-] young men from more than [-] prisoners of war, give each of them two bowls of hot porridge, and kill more than [-] sheep in front of the prisoners of war.

Azig announced that the armored men would be rewarded for breaking through the defense line of the Ming army.

Jiannu ruled the army with the flag and the people with the flag." They plowed the fields and hunted in peacetime, and went into battle in wartime. These flagmen are divided into three types according to their status: "Aha", "armored men", and "banner men". Aha refers to slaves, mostly Han and Korean people;

Although the status of the armored men is not as good as that of the bannermen, they are the best treatment for them prisoners of war. Although they do not have military pay, they can seize property on the battlefield, and if they are lucky, they will be rewarded with a few slaves.

These Ming army prisoners of war have very strange brain circuits. They are afraid of building slaves, but they are not afraid of the Ming army. Of course, because they were born in the Ming army, they are very aware of the true strength of the Ming army. In their eyes, the fighting power of the Ming army is scum.

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

"Go to battle!"

Following Azig's order, the more than [-] Ming army prisoners of war, holding the knives and guns they had just sent, began to line up.

Cheng Shijie had just had breakfast, and he was about to give a lesson to the officers, when the sobbing and tragic sound of horns sounded from the opposite hillside, following the sound of horns.

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

That's right, this Mingyu team was exactly the Ming army captives who surrendered and became slaves in Dalinghe City.

Seeing these Ming army prisoners, Ning Haijun soldiers from the Dongjiang Army immediately realized what Jiannu was going to do.In fact, this is also the most used tactic of Jiannu. First, use the captured Ming army prisoners and the captured Ming people to drive them to charge the Ming army's defense line.

When the war has not officially started, the Ming army often needs to shoot firecrackers and crossbow arrows at its own people. In this way, it will not only consume artillery, firecrackers and crossbow arrows, but also damage the morale of the Ming army.

As the saying goes, one trick is fresh, and you can eat it all over the world.

Jiannu relied on this rogue tactic to beat the Ming army into a mess.

At this time, almost all Ning Haijun soldiers looked at Cheng Shijie, facing a group of compatriots, can he do it?

Cheng Shijie looked at these Ming army prisoners who were running faster and faster, and even had a ferocious expression on their faces. He seemed to see the second devil in another time and space.

Cheng Shijie became angry: "The whole army is fully fired, no longer retaining strength, the cavalry is ready, ready to chase and kill at any time!"

PS: Although the train in the afternoon left the hotel and there was no place to code, on the train, if conditions permit, Lao Cheng will code another chapter.
