please make me king

Just when Gushan Beizi Boluo and Gushan Erzhen Turge were eagerly expecting the "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" Hong Tai to lead the main force to Jiming Station, they unexpectedly found Xibali Fort, ten miles away, to the east of Jiming Station. The neighborhood is bustling with activity.

"Hurry up, work quickly, don't be lazy, you will be killed if you are lazy!" The supervisors with "money rat tails" on their heads waved their whips and shouted loudly.

And under their scolding, it was the young men captured from the local area, some coats and slaves who were working hard to dig trenches and trenches.

It turned out that after Mrs. Hong dispatched Gushan Beizi Boluo, she did not immediately rectify all the troops and marched westward. Instead, she personally led more than ten thousand troops and more than ten thousand slaves to Xibalibao.

West Bali Fort, as the name suggests, is a castle located in Bali west of Baoan Prefecture, ten miles west of Jiming Station, with a city of three hundred and thirty-nine feet.

On weekdays, there are only [-] officers and soldiers stationed in this small fort, and it can be regarded as a larger pier at most.

But when Mrs. Hong saw this place, she immediately had an idea.

Do you know why?

It turned out that Mrs. Hong really deserved to be the number one hero in the world. Just based on the clipped information sent by the messenger, he immediately judged that the rebel army was going to attack on a large scale.

The timing of the rebels' attack was a coincidence, it was at the time when Houjin "the old power has gone, and the new power has not yet emerged".

Originally, when Houjin entered the customs this time, the troops were divided into three groups, and a total of [-] troops were mobilized.

It's just that I never thought that Azige on the west road went deep into Taiyuan all the way, and his whereabouts were unknown; Jierhalang and Duoduo on the east road are now going down the Taihang, capturing Weizhou, Pingding and other places.

Only [-] horses were the main force under Mrs. Hong's command, and [-] troops were assigned to Yue Tuo to attack Miyun, [-] people were stationed in Shuo Tuo, [-] troops were stationed in Yanqing, and [-] horses were sent to Dorgon for naturalization. Now there are only [-] horses left. Baoan, Jimingyi and Baoan Old City and other places.

After such an even distribution, how could Mrs. Hong have so many troops to fight against the rebels?

You can't fight if you fight, you just don't defend.

Since the "Shun Thieves" are making a big move this time, there must be no shortage of people.

As the saying goes: Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first.

Mrs. Hong is also a treacherous and cunning person, she said in her heart: "Shun thief" is more than two thousand miles away from Shaanxi.

As the saying goes: one hundred thousand armor, one thousand gold per day.If it goes on for a long time, the "thief" will be short of food and grass, and the soldiers will be exhausted, and then I will win by surprise, and I will break it!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Hong thought of a strategy of "defense layer by layer, resist step by step, and break when it is exhausted".

First use the Jiming Station to resist the first wave and buy time.

Then use West Bali Fort as the second line of defense, dig trenches and rivers, and wait for it.

If West Bali Fort still cannot be defended, retreat to the security as the third line of defense.

If the security guards still can't be defended, he can retreat to the next best thing, and then use Huailai as the core, with Dongbali Fort, Liangtian Tunbao, and Tumu Fort as the defense line, and continue to resist step by step to waste his wealth and troops.

As the saying goes, "Before the invincible, wait for the enemy's victorious" is also true.

Not to mention how Mrs. Hong cares, let's say that early the next morning, Zhang Shun finally led the main force of the rebel army to the outside of Jimingyi City.

Then Li Zicheng, Zhang Fatty, Li Shukong and the pioneers Bai Guangen, Liu Zongmin and Hui Deng who arrived at Jiming Station first came to pay a visit. …

"How is it?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing as he looked at the almost bare city wall of Jiming Station.

"The city is not good, the people are amazing!" Fatty Zhang couldn't help laughing because he knew Zhang Shun well.

"Without the need for King Shun himself, Brother Li, Brother Li and I have beaten them to death."

"It's just that the elite of the Golden Banners are really powerful. Once we send people to the city, they will soon be kicked out and they won't be able to get in."

"Have you tried 'Infantry Coordination'?" Zhang Shun frowned and asked involuntarily.

"I've tried it, but the density of firepower is limited. Once our army ascends the city, it will be difficult for the Tartars to stand up on the city to fight melee." Li Zicheng replied involuntarily.

"That's it!" Zhang Shun nodded, and found out that Jin Bing really discovered the shortcomings of the "infantry coordination" tactic.

After all, the artillery of this era is not the "flowering bomb" of later generations, and it cannot form an invincible "firepower net" at all.

Once the enemy has a firm will to fight and rushes forward with the threat of being hit by solid bullets, the two sides can only rely on hand-to-hand combat to win the battle.

"In that case, let the tartars in the city open their eyes!" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

"Come on, put all our field guns on display and show one to the defenders."

Following Zhang Shun's order, all the battalions and artillery flags immediately moved into action, dragged up heavy artillery, and deployed them in dense numbers outside the city to the west of Jimingyi.

"Be good in the middle of winter, how many cannons are there?" Now not only the "Tartars" in the city opened their eyes, but also the rebel soldiers outside the city opened their eyes at the same time.

Do you know why?

It turned out that although the rebel army had [-] defenders inside and outside Xuanfu City, it was impossible for Zhang Shun to bring out all of them in one go.

In fact, this time he left [-] people from Xu Quan and [-] people from Xuanfu's camp, and brought out all the others.

Among the [-] soldiers led by Zhang Shun, only the Seventh Battalion of Li Zicheng, Zhang Fatty, Yang Chengzu, Wei Zhiyou, Zhang Fengyi, Luo Shangwen and Zhang Rujing was equipped with field artillery.

However, since Zhang Fengyi has [-] troops under his command, ten more doors were equipped.

Therefore, this time, Zhang Shun unleashed eighty field cannons and golden cannons outside Jimingyi City.

"This 'Shun thief' is crazy, he... Where did he get so many red barbarian cannons?" Boluo, who was still high-spirited, was suddenly frightened and couldn't even speak.

Not to mention Boluo, even the [-]-year-old Gu Shanerzhen Turg was terrified.

Fortunately, he was a little older after all, and his temper was calmer than that of young people.

Mingming was terrified in his heart, but he said firmly: "Bei Zi, don't worry, although the thieves have many cannons, how many can they get?"

"As the saying goes, once the cannon fires, there is ten thousand taels of gold. I have had people inspect the Hongyi cannons used by this 'Shun Bandit', and they are all ten-jin and twenty-jin heavy cannons."

"According to the habits of the Ming people, they use multiple doses of medicine. A single shot costs [-] to [-] catties, and a single salvo costs [-] catties."

"If the volley is fired ten times or eight times, I'm afraid the [-] jin of gunpowder will be gone. Even if this 'Shun thief' gathers all the gunpowder in the three western towns of Xuanda Shanxi, how many [-] jin of gunpowder can be fired?"

"Uh, Turg, you...are reasonable." Boluo, the son of Gushan, couldn't help but nodded, and asked stammeringly, "It's just that I have a question?"

"Please tell me, baby!"

"How many [-] catties can we and our city wall withstand?"
