"What's more terrifying is that they have guns and bombard us wildly, making us passively beaten!!"

  "Their cavalry, patrolling around, guarding logistics supplies, they have nowhere to talk!"

  "If you want to counterattack, at least you need troops!!"

  The commander said loudly and raised two fingers.

  When the governor heard this, he was taken aback and cried out: "You have to double the number of [-] young men. You are crazy. You have searched the entire Jinan Prefecture, but you can't find [-] young men! !"

  The commander-in-chief certainly felt that this request was excessive, but he had nothing to do. The gap in troops was just that big! Moreover, according to his estimation, if he wanted to defend the economy

  Nanfu, [-] troops are not enough, at least [-]! And these [-] are still soldiers who can stick to the strict requirements, defend the line of defense, and will not collapse! If there are some soldiers who are not strong enough to fight, they will not be able to withstand the bombardment. For soldiers who want to collapse immediately, [-] is still far from enough! The gap in combat power is so big!!!"

  If we don't have these [-] troops and we can't wait for reinforcements, our Jinan prefecture really can't hold it!!"

  The commander said arrogantly.

  Listening to the chief executive, he smiled bitterly. He knew that it was not because the commander was dissatisfied with him, but the commander was really under great pressure on the front line, and he couldn't stand it anymore! Shocked, the combat effectiveness of the Weihai Guards is far beyond his imagination! Even if he doesn't know much about fighting, he can see the strength of the enemy army from the logistical aspect.

  In terms of logistics, he can tell everyone loudly that he really used the power of two giants, and made the logistics supply capability the first in all senses in the Ming army! However, even if it is In this way, the facts told him that it was not enough

  He said to the inspector who didn't talk much: "It seems that we can only use the method of pulling the strong man."

  There is a huge gap in the force, [-] young and strong, that is not a small number! Recruitment, it is basically impossible! Not to mention that it is impossible to recruit for a period of time, even if it is recruited for a long time, it is impossible! Jinan The people of Dongchang Palace and the neighboring Dongchang Palace are not... idiots. They saw so many going out to fight, but none of them came back. They all knew that the front line must be tight, and many people must have died.

  Under this circumstance, who would dare to apply for the recruitment! There is no time to avoid it! The inspector also nodded: "Send the order to the gentry of the prefectures and counties under Jinan and Dongchang, as soon as possible, at all costs, regardless of the use of By any means, we must pull out an army of [-] people to support the front line!"

  "Tell them directly, there must be no delay, otherwise the front line will not be able to withstand the Weihai Guards!! Our Jinan House and even the Dongchang House behind will not be able to hold it!"

  "No fluke!"

  Speaking of this, the inspector said to the commander: "We must hold on, withstand all pressures, and wait until the reinforcements from the commanders from all over the world arrive!"

  "Only when they arrive, can we Jinan Prefecture and even the entire Shandong Chief Secretary be able to truly defend it. Otherwise, we can't stop the Weihai Guards with our strength alone!"

  The commanders nodded heavily. Of course he understood this point! Moreover, he knew better than anyone that the strength of the Weihai Guards was so terrifying that it could be called terrifying! In order to withstand the Weihai Guards The attack of the army, the three giants, are almost crazy. No matter how much the price is paid, they have to pull out another army of [-] people! How crazy! Plus the [-] young men on the front line! Said that, in order to block the attack of the Weihai Guards, and to protect the safety of Jinan and Dongchang, the three giants will invest [-] young men! Treat these young men as cannon fodder and catch up with the frontline battlefield! It is not crazy to bury all the people of the government with them! It is extremely crazy! This is the gentry! In order to protect their own interests, they don't care how many people die! Even if it is hundreds of thousands, or even millions People! They don't even blink their eyelids! They are cruel and maddened.

Chapter [-] The fierce battle on the front line

  Frontline of Jinan Prefecture.

  Holding the telescope, Liu Yuan looked at the mountains on the front line, frowning secretly.

  From Qingzhou Prefecture to Jinan Prefecture, the army has been blocked in Zhangxian, Changchengling, and Taishan for several days.

  Although these few days, it is not impossible to make no progress, but the resistance of the Jinan government army is extremely tenacious, and the speed of advancement is extremely slow.

  The Jinan prefectural army set up a large number of strongholds in the mountains and mountains to form a defense line.

  Moreover, they all learned to be smart, and frantically dug a large number of tunnel fortifications on various hilltop strongholds to guard against artillery attacks.

  Solid shells attack masonry structures, which can be called a powerful weapon, but in the face of mud tunnel fortifications, the ability to attack fortifications has been greatly reduced.

  Although nearly [-] artillery pieces were constantly bombarding them frantically, it was still an extremely uncomfortable deterrent to the Jinan government, but it was only a deterrent.

  If you want to take the high ground, take the stronghold, and break the defense line, you still need a lot of troops, but you will take down the mountains.

  I have to say that the geographical environment of Jinan Fucheng is really good. There is the Great Wall Ridge in the east as a support, a natural city wall, and in the south there are famous mountains such as Mount Tai as a barrier.

  If you want to get from Qingzhou Prefecture to Jinan Prefecture, you have to keep attacking, attacking, or attacking.

  Besides, from Qingzhou Prefecture to Jinan Prefecture, the powerful combat power of the Weihai Guards has been known by the Jinan Prefecture Army, so they must have many means to deal with it.

  And it will no longer be like the battle of Qingzhou Mansion, which is beyond the reach of the tentacles! "Tough battle, this is a tough battle!!"

  Liu Yun couldn't help but marvel at the densely packed tunnel defense line on the opposite hill and high ground.

  The Jinan prefectural army has evolved extremely fast, and although they are fighting on the plains, they have not made any progress and are still so weak.

  But in defensive warfare, it has evolved very quickly.

  They all know how to defend against the artillery and even musket attacks of the Weihaiwei Army! When the Weihaiwei artillery bombarded, the Jinan government troops hid in the tunnels. Although this was not a foolproof way to avoid the artillery shells, it could effectively prevent a large number of being killed. .

  When the infantry of the First Army rushed to the top of the mountain and headed towards the highland stronghold, they used primitive but effective means such as stones, kerosene, bows and arrows to prevent the infantry of the Weihai Guards from approaching.

  Although these defensive methods can be said to be incompetent, they have to admit that they effectively defended against the attack of the Weihai Guards, delayed the marching speed of the Weihai Guards, and bought them time for reinforcements to arrive.

  The staff around him heard Liu Yuan muttering to himself, and immediately laughed: "Commander Liu, we have just received good news that the reinforcements waiting for the Jinan Prefecture Army are basically unable to arrive!"

  Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "What's going on here!"

  The staff officer explained: "The lord issued an order for a full-scale war in the lord's mansion to start a full-scale war against the gentry group behind Jinan mansion. We, Weihaiwei, sent a large number of armed merchant ships and artillery battleships to the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Grand Canal and other places. The material and personnel support of the gentry group was blocked!"

  "More than half of their logistical supplies have been cut off. The reinforcements that came from all over the country did not dare to speed up and approach. They could only slow down their marching speed, and even had to walk a lot of wrong roads to reach the front line!"

  "It can be said that the action of the lord's house at the rear to cut off the logistics supply line of the soldiers has given us plenty of time for the front line! There is no need to hurry and break through their defense line!"

  "According to the current situation, there is only enough force to destroy their living forces, and Jinan Prefecture and even Dongchang Prefecture will no longer have any resistance to us.

  force!"

  "Because almost all the troops and young men were dispatched, the rear areas of Jinan and Dongchang are almost empty!"

  Liu Yuan was instantly happy when he heard it: "These people are really afraid of dying fast enough. They are rushing to send people to the front line, and they are not afraid that we will break through the defense line and go straight to Huanglong!"

  The staff members laughed, and their smiles were full of disdain: "If they didn't block us out of the defense line, we would die faster! Our intelligence personnel came to report that the three giants of Jinan Fucheng in the rear have gone crazy! "

  "They will also pull [-] young men to the front line, vowing to block us outside the Great Wall Ridge!"

  When Liu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but marvel: "They are really crazy to have to pull out [-] young men! With so many troops all at once, do they have enough food!"

  When the staff heard this, they spread their hands and said, "We only need to prepare food for ten or twenty days, not even ten days! Anyway, they have no hope of these [-] young people, plus the [-] young people on the front line. If you are strong, you will be able to defeat us.

  They are the cannon fodder of the young man!"

  "These [-] young men are dead, and they won't feel bad!"

  "From the beginning to the end, they never thought about how to support these [-] people. They just wanted to use these [-] young men to block us for a few more days until the arrival of reinforcements!"

  The staff spoke coldly, without any emotion, but told the truth.

  Those gentlemen and gentlemen in Jinan and Dongchang, I'm afraid they can't wait for the [-] young men on the front line to die! As long as they can hold off until the reinforcements arrive! They even hope that they can use these [-] young men to give them all The Weihai Guards increased the burden of the Weihai Guards and overwhelmed the front-line troops of the Weihai Guards! They definitely had this idea, and they considered it extremely reliable! From the beginning to the end, the Weihai Guards only killed the squires, wealthy merchants and officials.

  The civilians have never been killed, and the young soldiers captured on the battlefield will not do anything to them. The solution for most of them is to screen out the officers, and then send all the young soldiers to the engineering team. , feed them with a large amount of food, and let them work for Weihaiwei.

  Because of this, the gentry of Jinan and Dongchang also came up with the idea of ​​using [-] young men to overwhelm the Weihai Guards.

  [-] mouths! What a terrifying number! A force without a certain strength can't bear it at all! With a slight turn of his head, Liu Yuan understood the sinister intentions of these gentlemen, but he scoffed at this: " If you want to hold us down and eat us up, that's a joke!"

  "in vain!!"

  Now that Qingzhou Prefecture is occupied, all the subordinate states and counties need a large number of young people to carry out large-scale engineering construction.

  A mere [-] people want to destroy Weihaiwei! I really underestimate Weihaiwei's crazy food storage work before! "Don't worry about them, since they want to fight with us, we will satisfy them!"

  "Listen to my order, starting from today, the whole army will attack, and I will remove all the strongholds, highlands, mountains, and passes that I see!!"

  "I want to see how much morale these young men can maintain and continue to resist!"

  With a big wave of Liu Yuan's hand, he ordered the general attack with great disdain.

  When there were no muskets and artillery, the Weihai Guards would still be able to attack the fortresses and seize the city. Could it be that the Weihai Guards cannot afford to consume them now? This is simply wishful thinking. Three things to read to collect, recommend, and score

Chapter [-] Full Line Attack

  Following the command of the commander-in-chief of the front-line headquarters and the commander of the First Army, Liu Yuan, issued an order for the general attack.

  The nearly two hundred artillery pieces that had gathered began to spread out.

  Returning to each of the guards, with the guards as a unit, they launched a full-line attack on the defense line of the Jinan government army in front, various mountain strongholds and passes! "Fire!!"

  Each guard uses the ten-gun artillery battalion to fire as an order to attack. Although the lethality of the artillery to the tunnel fortifications is greatly reduced, it can still cause an effective deterrent to the enemy, disturb the deployment of the enemy's troops and disrupt its reaction speed.

  The effect is still there, and it is very impressive.

  Because the Jinan prefectural army, the main combat force, are young and strong, that is, farmers who go to the battlefield with weapons, the most afraid of these artillery bombardment.

  As soon as the artillery bombarded, their morale would drop sharply, and those who were frightened would even shout loudly, disturbing the morale of the army.

  "Boom boom boom!"

  Ten cannonballs slammed into the hilltop position! Listening to the sound of the artillery bombardment, the defenders on the hilltop all shouted, calling friends and friends: "Cannons are fired on the opposite side, fire cannons, everyone hurry up and hide!! "

  "Hide in the tunnel and tell you, if you get hit by a shell, you will die miserably!"

  "Yeah, I can't even find the scum, you say it's miserable!"

  ""

  After being bombarded for a few days, the Jinan government army has long been full of fear of artillery, especially when they have seen the artillery hit a person, the miserable side has made the Jinan government army change their color after hearing the artillery.

  Although we all know that hiding in the tunnel, there is a high probability that you will not be hit by cannonballs! But I am afraid! Just listening to the sound of gunfire, I feel scared.

  The shells smashed on the mud tunnel fortifications, stirring up dust all over the sky, covering almost the entire mountain top.

  The Weihai Guards at the bottom of the mountain did not know the situation on the top of the mountain, and the Jinan government army on the mountain did not know what was going on under the mountain.

  "Kill it!!!"

  Immediately afterwards, one after another, the roars of killing roared crazily at the foot of the mountain, the foot of the next mountain, and even further away.

  This voice heard that the Jinan government troops on the hilltop stronghold were afraid and panicked.

  "what happened!!"

  "Why do you feel that there are killing roars everywhere!"

  "Damn it, it seems that the Weihai Guards have launched a general attack, and they are on an all-out attack!!"

  "Are you crazy to launch a general attack at such a time!"

  "Don't they want to fight us hard!"

  !""

  At the various strongholds of the entire line of defense, almost all the Jinan government troops were looking at each other in dismay at this moment, panic-stricken.

  The officers stationed on the defensive line were also a little overwhelmed at this moment! The Weihai Guards, this time they changed their routines! They no longer gathered artillery to bombard them, but scattered the artillery and sent out Infantry, started to attack frantically, attacked! Any officer with military knowledge will realize that what is coming is a terrifying war of attrition! This time, let him immediately! A war of attrition! It is used as cannon fodder, but it does not mean that these young people are really emotionless and will not be afraid of cannon fodder! , retreated crazily, just relying on these supervising teams, they can't control, and they can't stop collapsing! "Hurry up, quickly report to the commander, and ask him to pull the young men from the rear to the front line as soon as possible. , Time is running out, the situation is critical, you can pull as much as you can!!”

  "If it's too late, it's too late!!"
