Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 114
"Oh!"

The elm cannon exploded, spraying gravel and iron sand and falling on the black soil of the construction site.

The tribal leaders nodded one by one.

Simple and straightforward.

"And staying in the trenches, the range of the elm cannon is about the same as that of Jiannu's heavy archer. At this time, our soldiers only need to put the elm cannon on it. Jiannu's heavy archer and heavy archer The armored soldiers can only stand and be beaten."

The leaders nodded in a daze.

Each of them had no military literacy.

Now seeing the tactical fortifications more than 300 years later, it is not only subverted all of a sudden.

Of course, the matter about the trenches is the result of Zhu Youjian's deliberation, combining the available troops and firepower at hand, as well as the conventional military tactics of establishing slaves.

First of all, if the elm gun is not regarded as a 'cannon', but as a bulky, easily damaged but powerful backward shotgun, then there is no individual weapon in the world that can match it.

That's right.

Individual weapons.

An elm cannon can be operated by a single soldier.

Even as long as you are not afraid of bombing or spontaneous combustion, you can hold it in your arms or hold it on your shoulder and aim it.

The loading is simple and the power is acceptable. Except for the unbearable range, there is no problem with the elm gun for trench defense.

Not to mention that when Jiannu charged, he played close combat.

And the cannon that Jiannu is proud of will feel powerless in front of the trenches.

That is to say, the long-range firepower of the Black Banner Army is really lagging behind in terms of quantity and quality. Otherwise, what is dug out here may directly be the defense line of the earth bastion, rather than trenches and local prismatic firepower points.

A group of tribal leaders watched Zhu Youjian's operation. Although they didn't turn their heads for a while, they tried hard to prove the practicability of this fortification.

So Jie Lama reproduced Zhu Youjian's operation.

Then the leaders made up their minds.

Ok.

Row.

"But Jiannu will drive the slaves away to block the power of the god Leimu."

A leader has spoken.

The other leaders also answered: "Then Jiannu will rush into this trench."

Zhu Youjian had already expected this, pointing to the slope at the back of the trench for entering and exiting: "Then our soldiers will run, of course, this line of defense cannot run, if the Jiannu attack here, then hand-to-hand combat Inevitable, I mean the front line can run."

"Front?"

"Pi Yu's troops were all young and strong, plus slaves and armored men. How could it be possible to dig such a small place in almost [-] days? Before this trench, two lines of defense have been dug. If the first line is lost, Soldiers can retreat directly to the second line of defense, and the same is true for the second line of defense.

This can also prevent them from bypassing our defense line easily. If it goes well, there will be two lines of defense that can be used to consume the cannon fodder of Jiannu. "

Speaking of which, Zhu Youjian couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In other words, this elm gun was not born in the right era.

It can be said that the cost of this kind is extremely low, and the power can crush all the medium and short-range weapons of firecrackers in the world today. No matter if it falls into the hands of the Ming army or the Qing army, it is a piece of cake.

The Ministry of War of the Ming Army and the generals were overjoyed. With such cheap and easy-to-use firearms, our army's combat power has greatly increased!Quickly deducting a sum of money to reward himself, the Ministry of Industry was also overjoyed, and hurriedly priced the iron hoop that bound the elm cannon to five taels of silver to start.

The Qing army was overjoyed, and the heavy armor and heavy arrows directly turned into armored men's death squads carrying elm cannons and charging to the death.

what?
Burst and accuracy?

It seems that these days the firecracker still has high accuracy without exploding its chamber.
After hearing what Zhu Youjian said, Jia Lama and others still looked weird.

After burning, killing and looting with Zhu Youjian for several months, they felt that their understanding of war had been greatly expanded, but facing this extremely reliable trench fortification, it felt wrong for a while.

I feel very dull.

But if you pretend to be the attacking party, but actually hold the people in the trenches, there is no way.

We can only forcefully use human life to fill and resist.

It's frustrating to think about it.

Zhu Youjian saw what they were thinking and sneered secretly.

Where is this?

That is to say, it is enough for you to watch a trench for a while, otherwise you will have to take a look at the pseudo-mechanized tactics of sleds and elm guns, and Francois machine guns.

Well then.

Zhu Youjian reached out and grabbed a handful of snow outside the trench.

The snow is not thick enough, but fortunately the weather is cold enough.

For Zhengheiqi, which has a relatively light logistical burden, Tianshi is also occupied.

The North Korean Li family also generously gave up a share of the profits, and worked hard to secretly purchase gunpowder and materials for making gunpowder. For this reason, they even planned to find ways to go to the Ming Dynasty territory to buy it by sea.

The interior of the Black Banner Army is also considered stable, and with a solid trench defense, it can be regarded as a favorable location and harmony.

"It's a crucial battle, just wait for Jiannu to come and try it out."

If this battle is won, Zhu Youjian will finally take a solid and powerful step to go north to seek the goal of completely changing the overall situation.

Perhaps going south to Nanjing is also a feasible path.

But this road is happy, and the problems faced are simple and rough. It is even possible to be directly on the front line and collide with Jiannu, tearing a hole and tearing his flesh and blood.

There is also a weird but long way to go.

So what is His Majesty Nanming Longwu doing at this time?

In the tangled at the same time also some joy.

Why bother?

Because Jiannu occupied the capital.

Why are you chuckling?

Because Jiannu beat up a wave of intruders, and at this time, he still had the intention of mobilizing troops against the intruders.

Have a look.

The enemy smashed the enemy, and the beaten enemy still forced to death the last emperor of Ming Dynasty, causing trouble for the rebel army in the capital.

Why don't you chuckle to yourself?

Zhu Yujian was still very restrained.

When the news reached Nanjing, Shi Kefa directly published the "Shu of the Qing Qing Extermination of Bandits".

Specially emphasized that "the most urgent person at present is no more than dealing with bandits."

Then there is "But Qing can kill thieves, that is to avenge me. Giving it a righteous name, because it follows the trend, the country's hatred is great, so it forgives its former crimes, and it has no choice but to wipe out its ugly people with the strength of its troops. It's also the number."

It's okay.

Emperor Longwu was tense. After all, he had the intention of retreating from the Qing Dynasty and destroying the bandits from the beginning, and he did not express his position clearly in his pursuit of martial arts.

At least after the Qing army blasted Li Zicheng, Emperor Longwu didn't come up with the idea of ​​adding officials and ranks to Ping Xibo, Wu Sangui, the closed general, promoted to the Duke of Ji, and granted coupons, Lumi, 5 taels of silver, and [-] stones of rice. , send the official to send this operation.
And directly stopped the policy of 'Unite Captives and Attack Bandits', which was quite popular in the DPRK and China, otherwise it would be difficult to stretch.
At this time, Zhu Yujian still had a lot of confidence.

At this time, the orthodoxy of the Longwu court was gone.

His voice was quite loud, Jin Yiwei could barely compete with the Donglin Party relying on the Zheng family's military power, and because of Zhu Youjian's roll call, although Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others were officials in the Longwu Chaotang, they were not reused.

Therefore, although Ning Nanbo Zuo Liangyu's greetings and reports came a month or two late, they never stopped.

Recently, He Tengjiao, the magistrate of Nanyang County, gave a performance, saying that Nanyang had taken in a large number of old troops of the Ming army who had fled from the north to the south, as well as trespassers and surrendered soldiers, and they were waiting to be dispatched.

Zhu Yujian naturally asked him to incorporate the recruited soldiers.

So the current momentum in Nanming's military affairs seems to be very good.
