Chapter 159 Weird tactics and terrifying artillery(2/2)
"Pa bang bang..."
Even Ning Haijun, an enemy soldier, refused to go down: "You see, you see, you're a traitor! This is the fate of surrendering to Jiannu!"
Three cabinet ministers, plus Xu Guangqi, all agreed with Cheng Shijie's war, so the issue was settled like this.
Just when Cheng Shijie boarded the warship of Ning Haijun Navy in Tianjin and headed to Haizhou as quickly as possible, General Jiannu also arrived at the front line. They looked at Ning Haijun Navy's defenses and were at a loss.
With barbed wire, trenches, and fortresses, the current Ninghai Navy defense fortifications were formed.
Most of the troops under Sun Youguang were the old subordinates of Sun Yougong in the Ming army. They were all good at using firearms on foot and cavalry. Of course, who can compare with their good use of firearms? Compared with the soldiers of the Ming army who could not fire many guns a year, they were indeed
They are good at using it. Compared with Ning Haijun, who practices almost every day, they are nothing.
With the production of this kind of iron wire, its uses have been used by more and more people in the field. In addition to engineering infrastructure, many people have bought iron wire and surrounded it with wooden stakes and wire to use as sheep pens. In this way, the cost has increased.
Lower, more efficient.
Abatai's attention was attracted by the barbed wire fence, and he sneered: "Ming Gou actually wants to use such a thin wooden fence to block my Eight Banners elites? Are you looking down on us too much?"
Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said: "Cheng Qing is certainly loyal and brave, but the slaves are extremely fierce. The 20,000 elite navy soldiers under his command are the elite soldiers of our Ming Dynasty. If defeated, the consequences will be disastrous, so we should let him rely on the strong city
It’s better to stick to it!”
Cheng Shijie continued: "Your Majesty, Huang Taiji said that a hundred thousand troops were going south. He would never dare to go out in full force. The number of one hundred thousand must be an imaginary number. The slaves were divided into three hundred households, and each household drew one ding.
, then three hundred Ding is one Niulu, and the whole army has 318 Niulu, with a total of 95,400 men and horses. Drawing one Ding from two households can only draw 47,700 people, and three
If you draw one ding from each household, you can only draw out 31,800 people. I believe that Huang Taiji can draw up to 50,000 or 60,000 horses, and he would never dare to go out in full force!"
"Jian Nu, did you learn your sex skills from your wife?"
"Yes, you can try it out!"
Sun Chengzong sneered and said: "Hold on? How long will we hold on? Time will not always be on the side of our army. There will be storms, hail, and even ice in the Bohai Sea. Once such an accident occurs, Liaonan will
The sea supply line is cut off! Without the courage to confront the enemy head-on, no matter how strong the city is, it cannot be defended! I beg your majesty not to interfere with General Cheng’s command and let him go and fight Jiannu!”
This was exactly what Cheng Shijie needed. When he first arrived in Liaonan, Ning Haijun still adopted parapet and trench tactics. At that time, there was no iron wire, because this thing seemed simple, but it was not easy to make.
I just don’t know if I can do it...
Just like fifty meters away, those Mongolian soldiers did not end well. Many of them had no wounds, but they remained silent. If they were immobilized by a body-fixing technique, if you look closely, these people would bleed from their orifices. They did not
Trauma, the shock wave shattered their internal organs.
As a technician, Cheng Shijie was very familiar with this production technology, so he took the lead in transforming a semi-manual wire drawing machine from the late Ming Dynasty.
"If you dare to disturb Tai Sui, I think the man named Cheng is tired of living!"
"Take your people and look around. King Ben Khan still doesn't believe it. They will circle all the land with this thing!"
The Ming Dynasty cabinet was extremely efficient when Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to marry Princess Zhu Weiti of Le'an to Cheng Shijie. After receiving the edict to express his gratitude, Cheng Shijie took the imperial edict and traveled to Liaonan in a light and simple manner.
Hauge got up early and saw Ning Haijun's defense line. This defense line was very crude, with just a few wooden stakes and a barbed wire fence. Even a fool could break through it. As long as the first battle was fought well, no one would dare to say that Hauge was a waste.
"The master will come in only after all the dogs are dead!"
At this time, the chief ministers of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, the great scholar of Jianjidian, were not dealing with each other. The two were arguing with each other, and Xu Guangqi became the de facto minister in charge of the cabinet.
Emperor Chongzhen had selfish motives when he said this. Although he was dissatisfied with Concubine Li Kang, the problem was that he was still kind to Li Weiti, the eighth sister of the emperor. At least when he was young, this sister often stole things for him.
He remembered the kindness and had just found a husband for his sister. What was even more rare was that Zhu Weiti did not dislike Cheng Shijie.
"Definitely!"
There was no way. Wen Tiren would definitely oppose the policies proposed by Zhou Yanru, and Zhou Yanru would definitely oppose the policies proposed by Wen Tiren, and vice versa. Zhou Yanru would definitely support the propositions that Wen Tiren opposed, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
Now there is only one procedural issue between Zhu Weiti and Cheng Shijie. Sun Chengzong has another responsibility when he comes to Beijing this time, which is to act as Cheng Shijie's matchmaker, while Xu Guangqi is the matchmaker for the woman. The Minister of Rites and Cabinet Minister has enough prestige.
and qualifications to serve as this matchmaker.
"Understand, if you shoot from a distance, it's not that you can't hit accurately, it's that you can't kill people!"
"Yes, that's the truth. We brothers work so hard that we can't do good deeds. Remember the slogan of our Bing Division: behead people to make money!"
In fact, apart from the trenches, they had nowhere to go. Such a cowardly move attracted the ruthless ridicule of the slave warriors: "Oh, the bright dogs have turned into cowards!"
Speaking of iron wire, this kind of iron wire is different from the iron wire of later generations. There is no tin plating process, and the iron wire produced is very easy to rust. As long as a layer of skin is scratched, the wound will definitely become infected.
In fact, what the two of them most wanted to see was for Cheng Shijie and Hou Jin to die together.
The cannonball hit the mound hard, and the soil splashed everywhere. The soft mound was vulnerable! However, what was shocking was that the cannonball hit the loose soil, and it suddenly sank in, unable to move.
Got it!
Artillery shells flew over one after another, either hitting the mound in front of the trench or crossing the trench and hitting the open space behind. As for the shells that happened to hit the trench, not one out of ten could be seen!
Most of the Ning Navy soldiers have insufficient actual combat experience. After all, the army is expanding too fast, and many soldiers have no actual combat experience. The Ning Navy soldiers were very nervous at first, but when they saw the Jiannu artillery fighting for a long time, they were stunned.
Those who fired cannonballs and hit people were all happy.
The reason for producing iron wire is for the needs of construction projects. To build a reinforced concrete building, you need to make a steel frame. Without the support of cement and steel bars, cement is too brittle and easy to crack. But with the reinforcement of steel bars, the effect is stronger.
More than doubled.
The sound of hoofbeats was loud and earth-shattering, and a Mongolian cavalry was as fast as a hurricane, sweeping towards the Ning Navy's position in front of Qianshan Fort, which was about to be pockmarked by artillery fire. It seemed that Hou Jin also realized this.
There was something strange about this seemingly crude fortification, and it could not be destroyed by artillery fire alone. Therefore, they sent out thousands of Mongolian cavalry to explore the reality first.
"Yue Tuo!"
The thunder cannons hidden in front of the trench formation also began to speak one after another, and each artillery fire was fired at the same time. At this time, the Mongolian cavalry squadron in front of Qianshan Fort suddenly splashed with blood rain, heavy and with strong kinetic energy.
The shot put crashed wildly, and whatever stood in front of it, whether it was a man or a horse, was covered in blood, torn tendons and broken bones flying, making it disgusting.
Faced with Ning Haijun's ridicule, Hauge was so angry that he ordered the elite men with white flags to retreat and let a Mongolian left battalion and the entire army press forward.
Hauge was still trying to show off when Huang Taiji's eyes shot over him coldly. He was so frightened that he shrank his head and didn't speak for a long time.
"Jiannu, what are you doing here!!"
Huang Taiji came to Ning Haijun's formation and took a look. He didn't see anything. He looked at Yue Tuo and said, "Yue Tuo!"
Of course, iron wire is also very convenient in the field of military applications. It can be hung with a bell as a warning sentry, it can also be used as a horse-stopping rope, and it can also be used as a murder weapon, cutting off human heads at the top and stumbling the legs of horses at the bottom.
"The slave is here!"
Others followed suit and picked up the steaming shells between shellings. After a while, they picked up a pile, and they laughed happily.
"Your Majesty will give me ten more salt guides, and the money will be enough for me to organize and train a new army!"
The sound of artillery, thunder and muskets, and the sound of crossbows piercing the air finally stopped, and the battlefield fell into terrible silence.
More than a thousand people were easily eliminated by Ning Haijun in just one stick of incense. However, only a few soldiers of Ning Haijun were shot by Mongolian bows and arrows. Due to their strong armor, they were shot into hedgehogs, but
It doesn't matter, it just sheds some blood, that's all.
Navy officer Ning was also frightened and was speechless for a long time.
Hauge only felt a little difficult to breathe: "This...this..."
