Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 121 Procrastinate, just procrastinate

Jiannu can observe the trench positions, and the Black Banner Army can naturally observe Jiannu camps.

After suffering a big loss yesterday when he underestimated the enemy and didn't know the firepower configuration of Zhengheiqi, Jiannu has entered the serious mode.

While camping, a large number of soldiers began to build artillery positions outside the range of light artillery in front of the Zhengheiqi trenches. It seemed that they were different from the previous random bombing in order to kill the enemy and demoralize the enemy. They wanted to try to concentrate and accurately bombing.

Usually such approaching positions are intended to destroy fortifications.

If you want to kill soldiers, no matter how far or near, [-]% of them depend on luck.

But the most conspicuous and easiest to destroy on the trenches are actually those watchtowers.

Zhu Youjian felt that Azig on the opposite side should not do such a bloody business.

So maybe he still wants to test the resistance of the trenches to artillery fire?
As a matter of fact, it doesn't matter what Zhu Youjian thinks.

Anyway, this formation is set up, it must be for bombing the trenches.

After the Jiannu artillery position was completed, under the yelling of Jiannu Wuzhen Chaoha, the shelling began soon. After the continuous thunderous roar, shells fell on the trench positions one after another, many of which had flowering shells.

Seeing this situation, the observers of the Black Banner Army on the watchtower of the trench had to turn over and hide in the trench.

Jian Nu spent a lot of money, which made Zhu Youjian also have to get nervous.

It was ordered that each front line must send a soldier to stand at the forefront with artillery fire, and from time to time emerge from the trenches to observe the movement of the slaves, and prepare to fight immediately if there is any change.

These days the cannon can fire once in about 3 minutes!And this bombing lasted for nearly half an hour!And most of the guns fired are medium and heavy artillery.

The shells hit one after another, flying the snow and soil slag from the Zhengheiqi trench position.

It seemed that the position had been bombed to pieces, black and white.

But Zhu Youjian and other Black Banner soldiers who were mostly hiding in the caves did not even shake the sand from their heads during the half hour. It can be seen that the complaints of those armored men and slaves were right, and the ground was getting harder and harder. up.

As soon as the Jiannu artillery fire stopped and Jiao Boqing went out to wander in the trenches for a while, the report of casualties and losses came.

"Your Majesty, the watchtowers of our army's No. [-] and No. [-] positions were destroyed during the Jiannu shelling for a quarter of an hour. The slaves have sent the armored men to repair and rebuild them.

In addition, three banner men in the No. [-] position were affected by shells, one injured his thigh, and the other two were suspected of being injured in the lungs. They are currently being sent to the rear for maintenance. There is also the No. [-] position in the last row. The armored man could not avoid being hit by the shells and was definitely killed. "

"Jiannu's fierce firepower seems to be suspected of becoming angry from embarrassment. It can be seen that the loss of soldiers and generals yesterday is painful. If the two bannermen are not injured, they will be sent to Black Flag Fort to recuperate for a while."

"... 嗻."

After Jiao Boqing finished talking about the horrific casualties, he was excited. They were a little apprehensive when the effect of the trenches was not reflected. Now that they saw the defensive power, they said in their hearts that His Majesty is indeed worthy of a god!

But hearing the footsteps outside the cave, he still knelt down to salute and hurriedly backed out.

After all, it will be a fierce battle, and they must share a lot of worries for His Majesty the God-Man.

And Karama also squeezed in hastily.

"Wurt! Do we have any dead people!"

"Let you lead your troops to guard the position. Why do you come here whenever you have time? Why didn't Bole squeeze out of your side just now? Why didn't you ask him?"

"Hey."

Jia Lama smiled a little foolishly, so Zhu Youjian simply waved his hand to let him sit down. The burrow was already dark, and even if there was a fire pit where he stood, it would be dark.

"Three were injured, two armored slaves were killed, and a watchtower was blown down. It needs to be repaired quickly."

"oh oh--!"

Even though there is no record of casualties in the previous shelling, today's is completely different from yesterday's!

Karama, who had cowered under the thunder for half an hour, still felt a little unbelievable about the casualties.

The continuous bombardment of this scale is nothing more than the most terrifying "thunderstorm" faced by the tribal alliance in the mouth of the great shaman against the Jianzhou Jurchen before.

No, it should be more violent this time!

Is this over?

Azig was somewhat dumbfounded at this time.

It is said that yesterday I felt a little bit how tough the savage's defense line was in the face of artillery fire.

But today I spent a lot of money and wanted to vent my anger for yesterday's loss.

After all, no matter how tough you are, you can't resist the city walls of Shanhaiguan or the capital of the Ming Dynasty!
It's that kind of Xiongcheng Xiongguan that has been bombarded for a while!That must be a mess!

The line of defense looked miserable!

But...how many people have died? They are all huddled in the ditch and can't see their shadows.

He was aggrieved.

But in fact, when the trenches first came out, everyone felt aggrieved when facing them.

Too shameless.

Too stupid.

The battle that was supposed to last for a month would drag on for more than half a year once the trenches came out.

Not to mention that Zhu Youjian took out trenches from World War II.

Designed for long-term battles.

Reverse burrow cum ammunition depot and kitchen.

There are caves and latrines in the rear.

There is also a passage between the various fronts dedicated to crossing the fronts.

Zhu Youjian felt that it was too much here, so he didn't let the slaves dig underground field hospitals and barracks.

Enough is enough, Jiannu doesn't have bombers, just put these things behind the trenches.

And Azig on the opposite side saw it.

Now his understanding of trenches deepened again.

Can't move.

Even with a large number of firearms on the opposite side, you can't rush. Relying on the gully to defend is like standing on a protective city wall in disguise. What's more, the city wall is still immobile.

The bricks and tiles shattered and collapsed.

But if the mud is blown away, it is still mud!

With such an iron wall in front of him, Azig had to sigh, what kind of genius came up with this.

If my Qing Dynasty had this tactic before, the battle of Ningyuan might not be defeated.

In the Battle of Songjin, our artillery was superior, and the Ming army who could fight directly might not be able to raise its head. Not only could it form a one-sided suppression, but the casualties would also be extremely low.

But in any case, Azig found that he really had nothing to do with the trenches right now.

We can only see how much Shengjing, Dorgon and others value this place.

Looking at the rear and waiting for reinforcements.

Zhu Youjian also has expectations for the rear.

The Li family of North Korea is indeed loyal and dedicated to helping Shangguo accomplish its great cause, so it should be able to send a batch of gunpowder supplies.

In addition, there is also the sea, where the pirate group assisted by Jin Yiwei in charge of the Li family may also be able to find a way.

And then.

That's the real rear.

Nanjing.

It's a pity that if it wasn't for the fall of the Ming capital, and after Jiannu would inevitably enter the customs to a great extent, Zhu Youjian would know that even if he chose to go south, then Daming would have lost its land power advantage.

The interior is rotten, there may be ghosts everywhere, the military pay cannot be paid, the equipment and training of the sergeants are seriously insufficient, and the combat power is even more declining.

Dong Lin, a wealthy family, also thought that they were ready to change their principals, so they had no fear of internal fighting.

If he went south, then in the first year, he could only watch Shuntian Mansion fall rapidly, and at the same time, a large number of surrendered soldiers and ministers would join the ranks of the Manchus.

So this big rear.

It only refers to whether Wang Chengen can cooperate with the Zheng family and Zheng Chenggong to open up and defend a sea transportation route between Black Flag Fort, North Korea, and Ming Dynasty.

And those things snowballed faster and faster to prevent leakage of secrets, and the smaller the scope of development and utilization of certain things, the better.
