The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 311
Lan Cai'er has already staged [-] performances in the capital, and the tickets are still in short supply. Many masters who are not short of money have watched it two or three times.

The theater in Yongping Mansion has been set up, and the Huang family's crew is going to perform in Yongping Mansion after performing [-] performances in the capital. There is no need to worry about safety. Mr. Zhang, the director of Yongping Mansion, personally took care of the matter, and took the initiative to provide for the "blood" Fire Liaodong' propaganda.

This is a political task that must be completed. Besides, the dignitaries, nobles, landlords and wealthy merchants in Yongping have all heard about "Blood Fire Liaodong". They are all looking forward to the arrival of the crew and seeing the big drama as soon as possible.

This time, the two soldiers responsible for sending Huan'er back to the capital, Zuo Shouquan and Wu Yi, had tasks. The two of them and Huan'er followed the crew and took advantage of the excitement of the common people to recruit soldiers. Of course, they did not recruit ordinary soldiers, but selected martial arts masters to join Guards.

Huang Sheng saw that more than a dozen martial artists had performed outstandingly on the battlefield several times after they became personal soldiers, so he wanted to recruit more and bring them with him to train them personally, so that he could use the personal soldiers as special forces in the future.

Gao Zhimou accompanied Zhang Zhiji and led the nobles on the way to Shanhaiguan, and met the people sent by Shanhaiguan to the capital to report victory.

This time the nobles who came with me are all generous people who can be friends with, they are very loyal, and they clearly know that the danger outside the customs has brought their servants to accompany Zhang Zhiji to rob the uncle.

Who would have thought that brother-in-law was so powerful, he went to Jinzhou and cut off the heads of many slaves, all the nobles were overjoyed, they refused to walk slowly, and galloped on the official road to Shanhaiguan.

They wanted to make the cake even better. After all, there were more than 2000 cavalry here, armed to the teeth, and their martial arts skills were good. Joining forces with Master Huang would certainly make the Ming army stronger.

Not only did Gao Zhimou not hold back, he was a scholar and even played galloping with the cavalry regardless of the pommel horse fatigue.He was really anxious, and really wanted to have the opportunity to go to the battlefield to practice.

Minister of the Ministry of War Wang Zhichen may be the most proud soldier in the year of the apocalypse. In the past, Liaodong, which was worrying, had to rush to the capital six hundred miles away.

Now when they hear the battle report from Liaodong, they all scramble to see it first, and then the staff doctor shakes his head and reads the content of the victory report aloud.

When Wang Zhichen learned that Master Huang Sheng had gained again, he returned to kill Jiannu Niu Lu'ezhen, so he couldn't calm down. After inspecting the waist badge and battle flag, he asked two subordinates to take them and got into the car to go to the Forbidden City to see the emperor.

Mr. Ben Bing presented the battle report of Mr. Huang, who had not changed a single word, to the Holy Master. Zhu Youxiao was fascinated by it.

Emperor Tianqi decided to wait for Jinzhou to relieve the siege and reward Master Huang Sheng to show his loyalty and bravery.

The court of the Ming Dynasty was full of joy. In the next few days, the officialdom of the capital was tired of aesthetics. Could it be that the forehead of Jiannu Niulu was just paper?

This stupefied young man just chops and plays like this!Because Huang Sheng has won level 72 for three consecutive days, every time there is a level of Ba Yala, a real name of Niulu with a waist badge, Niulu battle flag, and several flags.

Now no one dares to doubt the success of the great talent. Everyone is discussing how the imperial court should reward this outstanding young man after the incident in Jinzhou.

A few confidantes of the Eunuch Party came to the [-]-year-old Wei Ran Hutong mansion of his godfather to find out. There were many good news in Liaodong, and Wei Zhongxian saw that the emperor's complexion improved a lot, and he was really happy in his heart.

Several cadres of the eunuch party came to ask Jiu Qiansui if he could make the talented man feel unhappy, but they were flattered on the horse's hoof, they were scolded by Wei Zhongxian, and they went home in despair.

The low-key Xin Wang also took the initiative to visit the British prince Zhang Weixian because he was worried about the situation in Liaodong. The two talked for more than an hour in the study. As for what they were talking about, Huang Sheng didn't know anything.

Anyway, the British government had a close relationship with Xinwangfu, and the relationship between the two was very harmonious.

The Ming emperor was in a good mood, but the eighth boy in the Houjin Zhongjun tent five miles outside the south gate of Jinzhou was the complete opposite.

The three major Baylors took turns to criticize him for his labor, expedition, loss of soldiers and generals. No one called him His Majesty the Emperor, they all called him by his first name, or called him eighth brother.

How to deal with the endgame in Jinzhou City should be the topic of this discussion. The three Belle masters said a lot of complaining nonsense before entering the topic.

Many military officers believed that if they wanted to take Jinzhou, they had to kill the Ming army by the Xiaoling River. They suggested gathering all the shield vehicles and rushing out some overnight, and attacking the Ming army's position tomorrow by slowly advancing.

This approach is completely different from the cavalry assault. The firearms of the Ming army cannot penetrate the shield chariot built of logs and covered with cowhide. The firecrackers are no longer a threat.

It's just that the artillery fire of the Ming army was too sharp, the shield vehicles were too heavy, and the advance was too slow, which may have caused too many losses along the way. Which flag should be the main attack has become a topic of endless debate.

In the old slave period, the Eight Banners were all fighting to lead the battle. This time it was different. They all said that they were good at field battles. Fighting on foot with a shield chariot was too unsuitable for the warriors under their command. No one wanted to fight.

No one is a fool. They all know that the Ming army's beachhead by the Xiaoling River will be broken if the whole army of the Houjin army presses down, but no one knows how many people will die in the main attacking army.

The barbarian group speaks on strength, and the soldiers and horses under its command are its own protection. At this moment, no one is willing to do stupid things.

Today, nearly 200 of the three cavalrymen who attacked the Ming army's position ran back. More than 100 people were injured, and more than a dozen died on the spot. Now more than [-] are mourning in the wounded barracks.

Jiannu is not afraid of being shot by knives, hacks and arrows, but he is afraid of being injured by the Ming army's firearms, because a knife in the stomach can only be cured after ten and a half months of feeding, but a lead bullet can't heal at all. They couldn't die for a while, and in the end there were those who dragged on for a month.

Such wounded soldiers were in unbearable pain and wailed continuously every day. When they died, they were tortured so much that they were almost thinner than skeletons.The rabbit died and the fox was sad. Seeing the end of the warriors who attacked the Ming army's position by the Xiaoling River, who would dare to take the main attack task?

Hou Jinzhong's military tents were still brightly lit, and Baylor, big and small, cursed like a national army, completely like they were in a bandit's den, and it was almost two o'clock and no consensus had been reached yet.

It was getting dark, and Huang Sheng's troops were unable to take effective actions on the beachhead. At present, the control area of ​​our side was only four miles outside the parapet, and there were Jiannu cavalry galloping and patrolling back and forth four miles away.

On the fourth day of June, the weather was hot and there was no moonlight at night. For the safety of the soldiers, Huang Sheng did not attack tonight.In the dark night, it was too easy for the soldiers to find their positions to stalemate with the Jiannu cavalry.

At that time, the grenadiers didn't dare to throw the 'flying thunder', and even the artillery support would be forced to give up. The Huang family and horses would not attack indiscriminately when they knew that there were robes trapped in the enemy's army.

The reason why it is so difficult to expand the scope of attack is entirely because Jiannu controlled a large area from Jinzhou to Niangniang Palace, where the Huang family did not build any fortifications that were beneficial to them, and the terrain could only be roughly observed through a telescope, and rash actions at night would cause great losses.

While the slave chiefs were discussing matters, the officers of the Huang family were also in a meeting. The content was to find ways to fight for the control area, and strive to push the control area to the hilly area of ​​the remaining range of Songshan Mountain, that is, to advance ten miles.

Grabbing territory under the noses of the enemy's main force is not an understatement. Everyone conducted war games on the sand table and decided to suffer casualties and fight for every inch of land in the scout battle tomorrow, and reduce the scope of activities of the slave patrol team to the north.

Just after dawn, Huang Sheng came to the observation post to watch the battlefield. Jiannu left no less than two thousand cavalry four miles away from the beachhead to monitor the Ming army's position. One group approached for one or two miles before hitting the horse and retreating.

They also kept cursing at the Ming army's position, making some gestures that might be cursed by Tungus savages, apparently to lure the Ming army into battle.

As they wished, the Ming army put down all the three suspension bridges in the camp, and formed a formation in three groups, including 160 cavalry archers, [-] Shanhaiguan cavalry, [-] armored chariots, [-] musketeers, and [-] troop carriers. One hundred heavy infantry.

The commander-in-chief of the three teams is naturally Huang Mingli, the deputy is Ma Shihu, and the specific commanders are Huang Dongshan and Heihu, who are leading the way in the middle, Cheng Quangong and Han Kuan, who are leading the attack all the way to the northwest, and Gu Shanhe and Li Dagang, who are leading the way and trying to get through the road into the mountainous area. aisle.
