Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 208 Don't be merciful
The nobles of the Eight Banners, such as Doduo and Luo Luohun, soon realized that something was wrong.

"Prince Yu, it's not right." Luo Luohun said, "It seems that the red-clothed cannon really can't hit the Ming army's blunderbuss?"

I heard from Baiyintu and Aobai that the red-clothed cannons couldn't hit the Ming army's blunderbuss, but they still didn't believe it. They thought that as long as the army's blunderbuss were built on the ground, they wouldn't be able to hit it?
But now the iron-like facts are in front of them, and they can't help but not believe it.

"Go." Duduo lashed Fan Chengmo with a whip and cursed, "Bring King Zhishun to me."

"Hey!" Fan Chengmo slapped a thousand and trotted away, and after a while he walked over quickly with Shang Kexi.

After Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming became prisoners of the Dashun Army, Shang Kexi became the Chief Artillery Instructor of the Qing court, and now all the artillery is in his charge.

Duoduo said: "King Zhishun, what's the matter with the red cannon?"

Shang Kexi said helplessly: "Prince Yu, I think you all have seen that the slope protects the red-clothed cannon's shooting range, so the slope protection in front of the Ming army gun platform must be cleared first, otherwise it will be useless to fire more cannons."

"Is that so?" Dodo frowned and thought for a moment, then ordered Fan Chengmo, "You dog slave, go and organize the wrappings with white flags, and bring tools to dig out the slope protection!"

"Hey!" Fan Chengmo agreed, and left in a hurry.

For Fan Chengmo, a dog slave, as long as he doesn't stay in front of Duoduo, it's better than anything else.

Duoduo beckoned to Li Guohan, the Han army of Xianglan Banner Gushan Erzhen, to come over, and then said: "Li Guohan, you take three thousand Han troops and two hundred vans to protect the coat servants who dig the soil."

Duoduo didn't care about the life and death of the coated slaves, but he cared about time and victory.

In order to take Xuzhou as soon as possible and capture Chongzhen alive, it is better to protect these dog slaves.

Moreover, if the coating of the inlaid white flag dies too much, it will inevitably affect this year's spring plowing, which is not good.

So, under the cover of [-] Han troops with blue banners and [-] vans, Fan Chengmo led more than [-] coated slaves with white banners to the outermost slope protection.

Immediately, he waved the shovel and hoe to excavate the slope protection.

But the good times didn't last long, and the tiger squatting cannons of the Ming army's blunderbuss quickly launched shelling.

The distance from the outermost slope protection to the [-]th blunderbuss platform is only fifty or sixty steps, and the distance to the tenth blunderbuss platform is less than [-] steps. The coating of slope protection.

Fan Chengmo and others have more than [-] coating operations with a width of about one mile.

Therefore, at least 15 tiger squatting cannons with more than 30 gun platforms can hit them.

平均每门虎蹲炮装填100枚5钱重铅子加一颗30两重的合口石弹，所以伴随着明军每一次发炮，便有3000颗铅子以及30颗合口弹落在包衣的作业面。

There is no armor in these coats, not even the cheapest cotton armor, just a jacket.

Therefore, with every shelling by the Ming army, at least hundreds of coats were injured or even killed, and coats hit by 30 double-fold compound ammunition were often killed on the spot.

This is also because the artillery quality of the Ming army is not high enough.

Otherwise, there would be more casualties covered with white flags.

But even so, these coatings are unbearable.

But Fan Chengmo, a dog slave, inherited the IQ of his old man, Fan Wencheng, and he is a little clever.

Seeing one after another being wounded or even killed, Fan Chengmo suddenly thought of an idea.

"Hey, Ming Dynasty generals." Fan Chengmo hid in the back of the van and shouted at the gun platform opposite, "We are all Han people in western Liaoning. We were forced, and there is really no other way."

"If we don't come here, Jianu will kill our wife and children."

"For the sake of the same ancestor, I hope you don't beat us."

Needless to say, it was really effective. After Fan Chengmo yelled a few times, the artillery platform on the opposite side stopped shelling.

The Ming army on the opposite side was mainly afraid of Chongzhen.

Because Chongzhen is really sympathetic to the people now, if they are really Liao people, wouldn't they offend the Holy Majesty if they were killed?So let's talk slowly.

Seeing that the coating was effective, the other coatings also shouted, and soon, the Ming army on the opposite gun platform stopped shelling, and the sound of the guns fell silent.

Only the sound of Jiannu digging was left.

Fan Chengmo dug more diligently.

……

The change of the Ming army soon attracted the attention of Duoduo and other nobles of the Eight Banners.

"What's going on?" Duoduo asked with some astonishment, "Why didn't the Ming army on the opposite gun platform stop fighting? Could it be that all the gunpowder and lead have been shot?"

"Probably not." He Luo said, "How long have you been fighting?"

Gulmahun, who had just become the banner owner, said, "I'll ask."

After a while, Gulma Hui returned to Duduo and reported: "Prince Yu, it was Fan Chengmo, a dog slave, who came up with a brilliant idea, saying that they are all Han people in western Liaoning, and they were all arrested to work. Yes, the Ming army on the opposite side really stopped beating them after hearing this."

After saying this, he said flatteringly: "Prince Yu is Prince Yu after all. Even the slaves in the mansion have learned such great skills from Prince Yu, and they are all like Zhuge Liang. It's really incredible."

He Luohui rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking that this flattery would make him lose his face.

When you lick Prince Yu, you lick Prince Yu, and even a coated slave is licked, that's despicable.

"Really, this dog slave has such a heart?" Duoduo was also a little surprised.

Gu Ermahui continued: "Master, without the harassment of the Ming army's tiger squatting cannons, the speed of the work of the coated slaves is much faster. According to the current progress, the outermost slope protection will be cleared before noon. Let’s hand it over to Zhenglan Qi, right? Five days ago we suffered a big loss at Zhenglan Qi, and we must get our place back today.”

"Okay, I'll leave Zhenglan Qi to you." Duoduo nodded happily.

……

At this point, Chongzhen also noticed something was wrong.

"Why did the cannons stop?" Chongzhen, who was still talking to Li Xiangjun just now, turned his head and raised his binoculars again to aim at the twelfth blunderbuss platform in the southwest direction, and found that the tiger crouching cannons on the blunderbuss platform had indeed stopped firing.

"Lu Banban." Chongzhen turned his gaze to Lu Jiude, the only eunuch who stayed in front of him.

"Send someone to the front to ask, why do you ask? Why did the tiger squat cannon stop shelling?"

"The old slave leads the order." Lu Jiude didn't send anyone else, and went down the mountain to interrogate the tenth blunderbuss platform in person.

In less than an hour, Lu Jiude returned to the Ninth Peak: "Your Majesty, I have asked clearly. It is said that the people cleaning up the slope protection on the other side are the Han people in western Liaoning. The soldiers can't bear to beat them."

"Confused! What are the Han people in western Liaoning? They are coated clothes! They are all Jiannu's lackeys!"

Chongzhen was furious: "The Han people in Liaodong and Liaoxi have all been killed by Jiannu, and the rest are the coated slaves who surrendered to Jiannu, and they are all scum who have forgotten their ancestors!"

"Decree, all towns and border troops must keep their eyes open for me."

"Anyone who claims to be Han people from western Liaoning, or even Han people from Beizhi and Henan, and intends to dig the slope protection in front of the blunderbuss platform, is undoubtedly dressed as a slave. The frontier troops of all towns should shoot them to death!"

After a pause, he said again: "Don't show any kindness."

There is really no way to be merciful here, but if there is any sympathy, it will be caught and used by Jianu.

Since the old slave raised his troops, Jiannu has driven the Han people to attack the city, and also captured many castles in Liaodong with this vicious and shameless method, so he can't be soft.

The softer you are, the more likely the nearby Han people will suffer.

Because after Jiannu tasted the sweetness, he would arrest more Han people.

Only when they are determined to kill the killers and make Jiannu realize that it is useless to capture Han people, they will give up arresting more Han people as human shields, so as to protect more Han people.

……

At exactly the right time, the Ming army's blunderbuss platform, which had been silent for almost an hour, suddenly fired again.

As flakes of lead rained down on the coaters who were working, the coater slaves with white flags were killed and injured again, and people were dying almost every minute and every second.

From Sizheng to noon, more than [-] people were killed or injured in just one hour.

At least [-] of them were directly killed, and more than [-] of them were seriously injured.

But Duduo's heart was not disturbed. To him, and even to every bannerman, Baoyi was nothing more than a big animal with one head and two feet that could walk upright and talk. Looting is the land.

Six-legged animals are indeed hard to find, but coats with two legs are everywhere.

However, Fan Chengmo, a traitor, is so smart that he actually made him think of another way.

Fan Chengmo asked Li Guohan to withdraw the van to the end of the slope protection to provide shelter for the coating, and then dig vertically under the cover of the van, first digging a trench more than ten feet deep, and then digging forward in a "zigzag" shape , Relying on this method, it really easily escaped the attack of the Ming army's tiger crouching cannon.

Before the right time, the slope protection at the outermost edge of Xuzhou's defense line was covered with a white flag to clean up a huge gap with a width of more than [-] steps. The five gun platforms in the gap were directly exposed to the muzzle of the Hongyi cannon. Down.

……

Seeing the Hongyi cannon firing directly at the gun platform, Chongzhen was also a little confused, how could it be possible?

Is Jian Nu possessed by Li Yunlong?Can you even think of avoiding the tiger squatting cannon attack through soil work?
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing strange about it, because Jiannu has been very good at earthworks from the very beginning. In the Huang Taiji era, Ningyuan and Jinzhou were completely surrounded by earthworks.

Zheng Sen and other scholars also realized the hidden worry, frowned and said: "This is a bit troublesome."

It is indeed a little troublesome. Jiannu can use soil work to destroy the outermost slope protection. Naturally, it can also use soil work to destroy the subsequent eleven layers of slope protection. It is even possible to directly use soil work to destroy the outermost slope protection. The double blunderbuss platform was destroyed, and the Ming army on the blunderbuss platform could only watch.

If they launch a counterattack, Jian Nu will probably be eager to do so.

If you leave the gun platform and fight in the field, you will definitely not be able to defeat Jiannu.
