I'm a big dick

Chapter 459

The Han soldiers of Lianghongqi and Tong Yangxing were defeated in the battle of Haichenghe, and the loss was not small, and the morale of the Han soldiers was even more unstable.

In view of this, Shuo Tuo led two thousand real barbarians into the city to stabilize the morale of the army, which is also the role of suppression and deterrence.

The plan of Yue Tuo and others was basically the same as Nurhachi's plan to combine internal and external forces to defeat the Ming army's attempt to attack the city, but the actual situation was beyond the expectations of Yue Tuo, Shuo Tuo and others.

Relying on the power of troops and firearms, the Ming army fought steadily and steadily, step by step, gradually closing in and encircling Haicheng with trenches and camps.

The enemy troops inside the city and the two red flags outside the city also cooperated with each other, but after a fierce battle, they failed to break the siege of the Ming army.

To put it bluntly, in the process of the Ming army starting from the south of the city, spreading its wings, and then gradually closing in, the Jiannu and Han soldiers in Haicheng had a chance to rush out, or escape.

However, before the Ming army attacked the city, they abandoned the city and fled. This was unacceptable to Yue Tuo and others, and it was also an order that Nurhachi had never given.

Therefore, with a little bit of luck and fear of not daring to disobey the military order, Shuotuo and Tong Yangxing watched Haicheng be tightly surrounded by the Ming army and became mice in a cage.

Facing the strong trenches and strongholds, Shuotuo and Tong Yangxing had given up their thoughts of going out of the city to attack.The two red flags outside the city were also isolated. With the strength of the two red flags, it was no longer possible to shake the solid defense of the Ming army.

The only hope now is Liaoshen's reinforcements. If the army arrives, there is still a chance to defeat the Ming army and lift the siege.

If the army is also defeated, then Haicheng does not need to attack by force, and if it is surrounded for a month or two, it will be dead with no ammunition and food.

"The Ming army didn't dare to attack the city easily. They are worried about heavy casualties, right?" To Shuo Tuo's doubts, Tong Yangxing forced a smile and said: "King Khan led the army to come, how can the Ming army not pay attention? They must be raising their spirits." Store your energy, and you will not easily attack the city, which will setback the morale of the army."

Shuotuo nodded, expressing his acceptance of Tong Yangxing's instruction, and then, he narrowed his eyes, stretched out his finger and said, "Look, Daqiqi——"

Tong Yangxing hurriedly turned his head, and saw a big banner being erected in the camp in the north of the city, he couldn't help frowning.

The Dazhu flag in the ancient army, like the square Shuai character flag and the rectangular three-army order flag, all indicate the location of the marshal and the headquarters.

In other words, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army has moved to the camp in the north of the city, with the purpose clearly revealed, to personally command the battle with the Liaoshen reinforcements.

From this point of view, the Ming army really won't attack the city for the time being.Thinking of this, Tong Yangxing secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The situation in the city is not very optimistic. The food and grass materials are only enough for one month, which is the result of reducing the supply.

On the surface, there was no sign of wavering and separate thoughts in the army, but it was the deterrent effect of the [-] Jurchen troops led by Shuo Tuo.

If the Ming army started to attack the city and the defense was slightly disadvantaged, Tong Yangxing knew that there would definitely be Han soldiers who would turn against them.Such is the human heart, and it cannot be changed.

In the camp in the north of the city, with the erection of the big flag, it also sent a clear signal to the camps around the city.Look here, this is the command center.

The flag was waved, and each battalion responded to the flag one by one. The soldiers looked at the flag and waved the flag, and roared "Roar, Roar, Roar", "Kill, Kill, Kill".

In ancient China, there was a tradition of battle cries in the army.That is to use a loud roar to boost morale and deter the enemy.

From a psychological analysis, loud roaring, yes, roaring is not screaming, it can reduce people's fear and boost their spirits.

And on the battlefield, the more deafening the battle roar, the more it shows how strong and powerful one's own troops are.There are so many courageous people, and it also has the same effect on recruits and rookies.

In fact, in modern warfare, there are battle cries similar to ancient ones.For example, "Come on, kill!" when charging, as well as the Russian "Ula" that is most often heard in movies, and the "Banzai" from Little Japan, etc.

The Ming army did not have a formal battle cry stipulated by the military. "Wansheng" and "mighty" can be considered, and "charge and kill" can also be used.

Until the emperor was free and had nothing to do, he pondered for a while, and felt that the army had been standardized, and the battle cries of the Liaodong Ming army should also be unified easily!
When watching the battle and cheering, use "ho, ho, ho", stare and open your mouth, and slam your gun or boots on the ground, which is a bit like a Maori war dance.

To charge and fight is to use "kill, kill, kill", which is also a short and powerful roar.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you call it wrong.When charging, you will not be punished for shouting anything else.

According to Zhu Youxiao's words, as long as you can improve your courage, as long as you can shock people's hearts, it doesn't matter how rude you shout.

After all, there are dialects everywhere, maybe there is one that you can accept and be encouraged the most!For example, people from Sichuan may be excited when they hear "Xiongqi".

Xiong Tingbi stood on the tall village platform, wearing armor and sword, looking around.But seeing the flags unfurling, and the passionate battle roars in his ears, he couldn't help but chin slightly, showing pride on his face.

The old slave is coming, and this strategy has been fully prepared, the victory or defeat is in sight.

Hundreds of artillery pieces, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, sufficient ammunition, and high morale.Old slave, are you ready to watch a bloody drama?

He Kegang, Feng Datie and other generals stood in the audience, shouting passionately.They are the Rock Association, the invincible iron army that the emperor personally confers the name on.

At the beginning, eight thousand brave men stood firm in the turbulent waves of attack; now, eight thousand brave men guard the central army and guard the commander, and will also deal a head-on blow to the invading enemy.

The camp in the east of the city is defended by Zhang Pan's Mixed Association.

Hearing the deafening battle roar, Zhang Pan was also burning with passion. Like ordinary soldiers, he clenched his fists and uttered roars of "Roar, Roar, Roar" and "Kill, Kill, Kill".

The decisive battle is coming, everyone knows it.If this battle is won, the period for the eradication of slaves in Pingliao can be basically determined.

Reporting to the king and the country, and reporting to the family and the people, Zhang Pan thought more than the soldiers, and he was even more emotional.
To the west is the Mixed Association led by He Zan. Although it belongs to Jin Town, it has participated in several battles to aid Liao and is the most effective force in Jin Town.

His father was He Huchen, the commander-in-chief of Yansui Town, a famous general in one of the nine border towns. He fought bravely and was in charge of an important part of the northern defense line of the Ming Dynasty.

He Zan was born as a martial arts scholar. Although he is young, he has studied martial arts and has actual combat experience. He has become a young general of the new generation of Ming Dynasty.

"Ho, ho, ho!" He Zan shouted with a calmness that was not commensurate with his age on his young face.

His left hand was tightly pressed on the saber, which was the "loyalty and courage" short sword bestowed by the emperor, and only officers above the guerrilla general level were eligible to obtain it.

"Loyalty, bravery and fearlessness" are the qualities that a qualified soldier must have. He Zan does not think that his promotion is due to his father's shade.To be able to have today's corps, commanding nearly ten thousand people and fighting independently, was achieved step by step by myself.

Similarly, his father's one-town coach is not his end, but his next goal in life.

"Kill, kill, kill!" He Zan roared loudly, wanting to step on the enemy's blood and corpses to step onto a higher stage of life.

In the south of the city, there are two mixed associations of Huanglong and Zhumei. One association is responsible for guarding the camp, and the other association is actively training street fighting and preparing to attack the city.

After answering the flag, Huanglong waved the flag without delay, and commanded the troops to continue training in street warfare.

"Kill, kill, kill!" The soldiers became more enthusiastic in this warm atmosphere, roaring and attacking.

In front is the Franco cannon mounted on the cannon carriage, fully loaded with shotgun shells, in the narrow streets and alleys, one cannon cannon is extremely lethal.

Behind the artillery carriage are three rows of musketeers, shooting forward alternately, crushing all the enemies in front of them with an unstoppable momentum.

After the musketeers, there were actually two grenadier vehicles, which could throw thunderbolts over the heads of the officers and soldiers in the formation, and violently bombard the enemies who attacked the melee.

How to fight street fighting is also a new topic for the Ming army.However, in the subsequent counter-offensive, it will often be encountered when the city is captured and the stronghold is pulled out.

Although martial arts has also studied this and formulated some tactics, it has not formed a fixed standard like a code of practice.The main reason is to explore the experience and lessons in actual combat, so that the generals on the front line have more room to play.

Therefore, all divisions of the Ming army have been trained, but Huanglong's division has been training street fighting these days.The Battle of Haicheng will be dominated by his Mixed Association, and the first battle in the streets and alleys of Pingliao will also be written by him and the soldiers.

"General, it may be possible to reduce the organizational system further and change it to a team of 200 people, which is more flexible." A Zanhua suggested next to him: "The streets in the city are narrow, and 300 people seem to be a bit difficult to perform."

Huang Long pondered for a long while, nodded his head slightly, and said: "Yes, let's try to change it first."

After a pause, Huanglong continued: "The drawn officers and soldiers form a mobile team to support operations anywhere, instead of advancing along a fixed route."

"General, this method is very good." Zan Hua bowed and saluted, then turned and went down to deliver the order.

Standing on the general platform, Huang Long squinted his eyes slightly, watching the training of shouting Sha Zhentian below the stage, his grim face showed a little more Hexi.

Compared with the promotion of other generals, Huanglong's path is completely different.He was only a small school of the Liaodong Army, so he was transferred to the capital by the Ministry of War to study martial arts.

Up to now, Huang Long knew a lot of things, but he still didn't understand why Wansui chose his name in the first place.There is also Huang Degong who has the same situation as him, but his official title is very different.

The emperor could notice a small school, and everyone might think that Huanglong's name was smeared.

But they don't know that Zhu Youxiao respects him, respects this loyal and brave general who in history worshiped his mother with tears, refused to surrender to the rebels, and finally escaped for his life in Fort Lushun and sacrificed his life on the battlefield.

Therefore, Huang Long should be the fastest promoted as the chief of the First Association.In his heart, he is also the one who is most grateful for the emperor's kindness, and is determined to serve him with his life.

In the defense of Ningyuan, the counterattack of Fuzhou, and the siege of Haicheng, Huanglong had this belief in all the battles he participated in.

Because of his loyalty and bravery, Xiong Tingbi also held him in high esteem, unlike at first he thought he was lucky and despised him a bit.

Therefore, this time the siege of Haicheng was handed over to him by Xiong Tingbi.After all, it is an old army from the west of Liaoning, so this kind of military exploits and glory can also add credit to the old bear.

And Huanglong belonged to Emperor Jianba, and he made great achievements in battle. Isn't Long Live also happy?
In the shouting of the flag and battle roar like a tsunami, there were not only the troops besieging the city, but also the surrounding reserve army, as well as the mobile cavalry led by Cao Wenzhao.

The sharp saber swayed up and down in the air, reflecting the dazzling light, people shouted, and the battle roar of the cavalry was more powerful than that of the infantry.

Although it is a flying cavalry in the Beijing camp, when the Beijing camp was rectified and the Liao people were resettled, many young and strong Liao people were recruited into the army.Their emotions became more agitated, and they roared more vigorously.

At that time, they were either alone, or with their families and children, with ragged clothes and hungry stomachs; now they are brightly armored and well-equipped, and they return to Liaodong on horseback.

Ping Liao exterminated slaves, regained the former homeland, and firmly defended this piece of black fertile soil, so that family members and villagers could live and work in peace and contentment without the suffering of war.

"Roar, roar, roar!" Roaring out the pain and hatred in my heart.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Kill all the slaves and Xilu who invaded their homes, looted their property, and slaughtered the Liao people.

Passionate emotions spread like the wind, and shocking battle cries spread all over the place.

Hey!Zhang Zhuzi stopped pushing the cart and shook his fist vigorously.

Countless Liao people also stopped to listen quietly, with excited or gratified or dignified expressions on their faces.

The strength of the army may not be able to see the whole picture from this battle cry.But battlecry can become an ancient and powerful weapon, and there must be a reason for it.

Moreover, it is also a fact that the Ming army has won many battles and victories.From Fort Lushun to Jinzhou, then to Sanwei in southern Liaoning, and the coast of eastern Liaodong, everything changes every year, and now there is no shadow of Jiannu.

The armor is complete, the weapons are excellent, the cavalry is majestic, and the infantry is spirited... Compared with the Ming army a few years ago, the Liao people feel that they are now a completely different army.

Only such an army can reassure the common people, and make the common people feel that victory is in sight.The so-called morale of the army and the people is nothing more than that.

Poof, poof!Zhang Zhuzi spat twice into the palm of his hand, and shouted loudly: "Keep up, get all these supplies across the river today."

"Okay!" Everyone echoed, bent over and pushed the vehicle onto the pontoon bridge.

"I still want to go home tonight!" A middle-aged man said with a smile. He opened his arms, showing his strong chest, and pushed the cart very fast.

Someone jokingly said: "Afraid that the mother-in-law will run away? After a while, the money will be distributed. Let's go drink and go back tomorrow."

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said, "You are young, you don't have any hair on your mouth, you know nothing. If you have money, you can do it yourself? Jianlu will be wiped out, and you will have land, build a house and buy things , don’t spend money!”

Zhang Zhuzi pushed a car across the pontoon bridge, turned around and helped pull another car, and said loudly: "The imperial court has set a regulation, and the Liao people will pay resettlement fees. If it is not enough, you can apply for a loan without interest. Five years It’s fine if you can pay it back.”

"Brother Zhang is a retired soldier, and the preferential policies he enjoys are much better than ours." A young man said enviously: "It's great to join the army, and the salary can support a family. It's a pity that my parents won't let me go. .”

Zhang Zhuzi was a little absent-minded, maybe it hurt his heart when he heard that he had parents.

After being silent for a while, he forced a smile and said: "Then you should be filial to your parents at home, and don't be envious of being a soldier who can get paid. If you become a soldier, you have to risk your life to fight..."
