Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 440
After a few bounces on the slope, the shell was exhausted.

Some shells also fell into the gun platform, but it was useless.

Most of the Ming army hid behind the fence, and there was no one in the open space between the gun platforms.

Dorgon frowned and said, "I don't know who came up with this gun platform? It's really tricky. It's really hard to destroy such a gun platform."

Hong Chengchou asked: "Hou Fangyu, what can you do?"

Fulin's eyes immediately turned to Hou Fangyu's face, this dog slave seems to be quite respected?
"Returning to Mr. Hengjiu, there is no good way." Hou Fangyu shook his head and said, "There are only three stupid ways, or send Baoyi to hollow out the outer slope protection, or directly attack from the front, or put the red cannon on the ground. On the high platform, condescendingly bombard the Ming army’s blunderbuss platform, so that the protective fence of the blunderbuss platform can be destroyed.”

"I'm afraid it won't work to send a coat of arms to dig slope protection?" Hong Chengchou said, "The Ming army will fire guns, and there are also tiger squatting cannons. Even if they use mule carts to protect them, they will not be able to withstand the Ming army's attack, and many people will die."

"Building a fort is no good." Gushan Ezhen Baiyintu of Xianghuang Banner happened to be on his side, and said immediately, "Because we can build a fort, the Ming army can also increase the height of the slope protection. The Ming army only needs to give the slope protection To increase the height by one foot, we have to add another foot to the fort, which cannot be done, we have tried it in Xuzhou."

Speaking of which, the first person who experienced the power of this gun platform was Baiyintu.

At that time, more than 1 partial teachers of Baiyintu were disgraced by the gun platform.

In the end, under the pursuit of Mongolian Yiding, the whole army was almost wiped out.

"Then launch a strong attack directly from the front." Hou Fangyu said helplessly.

"When the Ten Kings were on the Xuzhou battlefield, they broke through many Ming army gun platforms."

"This kind of blunderbuss requires hundreds or even hundreds of stacks to be powerful."

"There are only two blunderbusses like this, so it's easy to take them down in one go."

After a pause, he added: "Bi Zhang's single blunderbuss defense capability is very limited."

"It is indeed like this." Bai Yintu echoed, "It is still easy to take down a single gun platform."

Hearing this, Dorgon, Hong Chengchou, etc. nodded slightly, and even Fulin was also very interested in Hou Fangyu, this slave seemed to have a lot of brains.

……

On the watchtower of Dagukou.

Chen Mingyu asked worriedly: "Bao Heng, due to the rush of time, we only built two blunderbuss platforms, and the fortifications of the blunderbuss platforms have not been completely repaired, can we really hold them?"

"Don't worry." Yan Yingyuan said indifferently, "I can definitely keep it."

"Really there will be no problem?" Chen Mingyu was still a little worried, "I remember the battle of Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou, Jiannu broke through the four defense lines in a row and broke through dozens of gun emplacements!"

Chen Mingyu now recalls the battle of Yunlong Mountain with lingering fear.

The situation at that time was really in jeopardy, even their battalion of scholars came out in full force.

I remember that at the most critical moment, it was still relying on Li Shen to turn the weak man from the situation.

But their current situation is even worse than Yunlong Mountain. Tens of thousands of frontier troops on Yunlong Mountain almost fell, but now they only have [-] new troops in Dagukou. Can they really hold it?
The ferocity of Jiannu Baijia soldiers is not fake, it is real ferocity.

"It's not the same." Yan Yingyuan shook his head and said, "How does the frontier army guarding Xuzhou compare with our new army?"

"That's a group of frightened birds that terrified Jiannu. When they heard Jiannu's footsteps, they were scared to pee. Before Jiannu rushed to the front, they collapsed. All of them only hated their parents for having two legs."

"But the soldiers of the new army don't have the slightest fear of Jiannu."

"What's more, what kind of weapon is used by the Xuzhou frontier army? It's an arquebus and a spear."

"What kind of weapons are our new troops using? Flintlock guns, tiger squatting guns and red cannons, not to mention that we also carry a large number of landmines, gray bottles, and ten thousand enemies."

"There are also various defensive equipment such as soft walls, wooden cities, and horse rejection."

"More importantly, when we defended Xuzhou last time, we didn't have much experience."

"But now, we have a clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the gun platform defense."

Speaking of this meal, Yan Yingyuan said again: "Gongchen, we have repeatedly deduced before coming to Dagukou. As long as the sea route is not cut off by the Jiannu navy and the backup is not cut off, there will be no problem in holding it for ten years."

"But that's just a map deduction after all, not a real battle on the battlefield."

"Gongchen, don't think about it so much, you are exhausted these days."

"Go down and get a good sleep first, Jianu will leave when you wake up."

Chen Mingyu could only smile wryly, but it was impossible to go to sleep.

So, is Yan Yingyuan really confident, or is he just pretending?He is really confident.

When guarding Shanyang City last time, many of the whimsical ideas in Yan Yingyuan's mind had no chance to be implemented because the materials in his hands were too limited, but this time guarding Dagukou can be done freely.

It happened to try his tricks with Jiannu.

……

"Slave Wu Sangui, please greet the emperor's father and the regent."

Panting, Wu Sangui climbed up the well, flicked his sleeves and knelt down behind Dorgon.

Dorgon didn't look back, but still held up his binoculars to look at the battlefield ahead, as if he didn't hear Wu Sangui's voice, and the atmosphere became a little stagnant.

Wu Sangui's heart immediately lifted.

Since Dorgon reorganized the surrendered troops and landlords' armed forces of the Ming Dynasty in Shanxi, Shandong, and Beizhi, and organized them into green battalion soldiers, Wu Sangui's status has been a bit embarrassing.

Because it must be Qu Cai to make Wu Sangui the chief soldier.

But let Wu Sangui be the admiral of the green camp, Dorgon was not at ease.

Dorgon is not a fool, so he can naturally see Wu Sangui's ambition.

Moreover, Wu Sangui was also very resistant to the reorganization of the Guanning Army into the Green Camp, and became very negative for a time, which directly caused the Green Camp to perform extremely hippie in the Battle of Hetao.

Although the Battle of Hetao was finally won, Dorgon was very angry.

As soon as the Battle of Hetao ended, Dorgon kicked Wu Sangui to Jinzhou to clear up the bandits.

Jinzhou doesn't even have a human hair now, where are the local thieves?This is to let Wu Sangui sit on the bench, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty dare not touch the generals of Liaoxi, and Dorgon will not be used to it.

Wu Sangui sat on the bench in Jinzhou for nearly half a year, and finally figured it out.

Then he sent Dorgon a ten-thousand-word memorial, not only putting his posture at a very low level, but also expressing that he would contribute all his enthusiasm and even his life to the unification war of the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon then recalled Wu Sangui back to Beijing.

Moreover, the ten battalions reorganized from the Guanning Army were still handed over to Wu Sangui.

But Wu Sangui knew very well that there was still a knot in Dorgon's heart.

To get rid of this knot, Guan Ningjun must show a decent performance in Dagukou.

After a while, Dorgon turned his back to Wu Sangui and said, "Wu Sangui, someone once told me that you, like Wei Yan in the Three Kingdoms period, have rebellious bones in the back of your head. Once you become a general with heavy troops in your hands, you will definitely rebel."

"Master, this slave has wronged me." Wu Sangui's whole body was almost touching the ground, extremely humble.

Fulin glanced at Dorgon, and then at Wu Sangui, his eyes revealed the color of enlightenment.

Is this the art of controlling people?Is Dorgon taking the opportunity to beat Wu Sangui so that he will not be dissatisfied?
"The man also warned me that if I don't want to worry about it, I will get rid of you as soon as possible." Dorgon seemed not to have heard Wu Sangui's words, or he had heard them but ignored them, and just went on talking on his own.

Hearing this, Wu Sangui's body was already trembling slightly, looking extremely frightened.

"But I feel that generals are hard to find, and you Wu Sangui is indeed a general."

"Wouldn't it be a pity for a general like you to end up with hatred before he has time to display his ambition?"

After a pause, Dorgon went on to say: "So, I decided to give you a chance, it is also a chance for me, and it is also a chance for Daqing. Wu Sangui, I hope you can be worthy of my trust in you."

"Master, for you, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, even though the slaves are so utterly utterly foolish, they have no regrets."

Wu Sangui knocked his head three times, and said again: "Master, you just stand here and watch, this servant will take Luying to take down Dagukou and capture that Yan Yingyuan alive."

"Okay, I will beat the drums for you personally here."

After finishing speaking, Dorgon ordered Hou Fangyu again: "Go and move the war drum."

"Hey!" Hou Fangyu agreed, turned around and went down the well to move the drum.

Wu Sangui went down Jinglan to join the old department, and called Xia Longshan to him.

Wu Sangui has two great generals under his command, namely Hu Xinshui, a guerrilla from the left camp, and Xia Longshan, a guerrilla from the right camp. Coincidentally, these two fierce generals each have a son who is brave and capable of fighting.

It's just that Hu Xinshui and his son were abducted by the dog emperor Chongzhen during the Jiashen national disaster in Chongzhen's 17th year, and the only remaining one thousand riding Mongolian Yiding was also abducted.

Looking back now, Wu Sangui feels pain in his heart and lungs.

After Hu Xinshui and his son were abducted by Chongzhen, only Xia Longshan and his son remained.

"Brother, this battle is up to you." Wu Sangui said with his arms around Xia Longshan's shoulders, "You have seen the situation of our Guan Ning Army. If this continues, the Guan Ning Army will fall apart, so you must In this battle, our Guanning Army's majesty and prestige must be shown, so that the emperor's father and the regent can clearly see that among the Green Battalion soldiers, we are the only ones who can really fight tough battles. The other Green Battalion soldiers are all embroidered pillows. Jiang Yu's Great Harmony Army!"

"My lord, just watch." Xia Longshan said viciously.

"Isn't it just a thousand Ming troops? This Ming army is not enough for us to squeeze our teeth."

"The Ming army's team consisting of Huang Degong and Gao Jie is still quite effective."

"Others, including Zuo Liangyu, when they meet our Guan Ning army, they all deliver food."

Good guy, Xia Longshan's knowledge of the Ming army is still three years ago, and he doesn't even know that Zuo Liangyu is dead.

After a pause, Xia Longshan went on to say: "As far as the Ming army in front is concerned, the last general only needs to charge to wipe it out, and then seize the gun platform in one fell swoop!"
