Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 200 The elite is the elite
Right now, autumn and winter are the autumn harvest season, and the autumn harvest inside and outside Shanhaiguan City is also coming to an end.

And the repair work on the Shanhaiguan pass is also non-stop.

After two years, although the Great Wall at Guanguan has not been completely renewed, the traces of being attacked by Li Zicheng have basically disappeared. Only some parts of the city wall have a large area of ​​old and new colors.

Falling into Wu Sangui's eyes, it also made this Liaodong man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, firm face and shiny forehead return to reality.

Can't help but pat the thick helmet.

Bring yourself back to God.

"Guan Ning's army is the vanguard! We must arrive at the front guard of Guangning within two days!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Under the order, the orderly immediately began to play and sing.

About half an hour later, a cavalryman wearing a lightning rod helmet, a soft armor lining his body, a chain mail coat, and a set of straight red cloth face armor and ring arm armor drove his horse under his crotch to leave the army formation. , set off a large cloud of smoke and dust.

Even most of their war horses wear red buffalo leather horse armor on the chest and on the top of their heads. They sit on one horse and lead the other. Both wore studded cloth visors.

The feathers of the war horses fluttered slowly with the movement of the army. Two thousand Guanning cavalry in full armor and five thousand horses were extremely powerful.

But don't get me wrong.

The reason why most of the soldiers in the Guanning Iron Cavalry wear cowhide armor on their horses is because Wu Sangui gave the order to rush and removed the heavy vest parts, and only the generals' horses still wore heavy vests.

Followed by Guan Ning's formation-breaking soldiers wearing the same standard heavy armor.

Don't think that shooting heavy arrows at close range after the shield car is advanced is the unique patent of the Qing Dynasty. There are many heavy-armored archers with heavy-duty pointed heads in the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty. Not reflected in the field.

Because the Guanning Army was familiar with the fierce and brave tactics of the Manchus, they also recruited Manchus, and the Mongols were organized into a heavy-armored infantry battalion separately.

Further on, there is the Guanning Army Firearms Battalion.

A firearms battalion that can compete with Wu Zhenchaoha of the Qing army with relatively weak artillery in the field and even has the upper hand.

It is also very simple to do.

"Deep and steep trenches, use more firearms."

Yes, trenches have actually appeared these days.

However, the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty used firearms to hammer Jurchen and Houjin first, and then was hammered by the Qing Dynasty with firearms. Both sides figured out how to deal with firearms.

The Qing Dynasty chose to find ways to master and develop more powerful cannons, so as to increase the ratio of firearms in the army.

The Guan Ning army's choice, or in other words, can only choose to dig trenches.

It's just that the trenches of the Guanning Army are fundamentally different from those that Zhu Youjian took out.

One is used as the main anti-shock battlefield, and the other is used as firearms, artillery positions, or siege facilities.

In terms of field warfare, due to limited thinking and the rigidity of the Ming army's overall tactics and regulations, no matter in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they never expected to dig trenches as the main field battlefield and long-term defensive positions.

The use of trenches by the frontier armament battalions such as the Guanning Army has already broken the regulations left by the ancestors.

Not to mention the relatively complete and serious trenches brought out by Zhu Youjian.

And as this elite team, which only looks aggressive, passed through Shanhaiguan.

A siege of Xiaolinghe, more than 200 miles away in front of them, began.

Originally, Wu Sangui didn't come, but Zhu Youjian planned to wait for ten days and half a month before talking.

But Wu Sangui is coming.

In addition, Li Hao, the eldest son of North Korea, also led [-] North Korean troops to join the Black Banner Army, and is now being used under Zhu Youjian's account.

When the hot-blooded young leader arrived, he looked at the three-star flags with two different background colors in the Zhenghei Banner camp. Although he criticized the three-star flags on the black background of the Zhenghei Banner, he still sobbed on the spot.

During those days when he was imprisoned in Shengjing and could only watch the North Korean female relatives who were protons become manchurian playthings, he dreamed almost every night that he wanted to lead the army to kill Shengjing, and even secretly wrote this Poetry to express aspirations.

Now that he is back under the command of Daming to fight against the Qing captives, although the Jurchen is the main general leading the army, he also has a considerable number of generals under his command, including five hundred elites in armor.

Don't look at only five hundred.

This is North Korea's efforts to revitalize its military over the past few years. In addition, Li Hao is the son of North Korea, the benchmark of the anti-Qing faction, and the No. 1 in revitalizing the national consciousness that was suppressed by the Qing captives.

With a series of titles added, this is the elite deployed through various channels.

This is what he dreamed of!Opportunity to compete with the Qing captives alone!

And now this elite team was arranged by Zhu Youjian to besiege the south of Xiaolinghe City together with Zhengheiqi guerrilla general Jin Yangwu, and the Black Banner Marine Corps, and the main force of the Black Banner Army besieged the west of the city.

Although the north and east of the city is the Xiaoling River, it cannot be idle.

The black flag navy bird boats that entered the Xiaoling River sailed to the north and east of the city, and bombarded the city with heavy artillery on board, providing more or less firepower.

When the battle started, the Jinyang military department in the north of the city was even more brave than before. Seventy percent of its subordinates were North Korean black flag soldiers. Now seeing the North Korean regular army, they seemed to hold back their energy and pushed their shield carts to storm the city wall!

However, Li Hao, the leader of the North Korean army, has experienced few battles. Now he is trembling with excitement while trying to use his brain to think about the tactics and tactics he has read from military books in the past, and mobilize his troops.

Although unfamiliar, the large number of musketeers in the North Korean army still provided fire suppression for Jin Yangwu.

A group of navy and Japanese pirates was in a mess. Many people, let alone attacking the city, had seen no more than one-handed numbers of cities like the Weicheng of the Ming Army in their lifetime.

And the green battalion guarding the city above Xiaolinghe City still has a song.

Therefore, in the north of the city, except for the integration of Zhengheiqi, a militaristic organization that is promoted by military exploits, gives preferential treatment to the strong, and dares to fight. It's fine if one of them doesn't hold back, and the other can only provide some fire support.

The fight was very difficult, and they could only rely on shield vehicles to stand in a stalemate under the city wall, throwing firepower at each other.

Fortunately, Zhengheiqi's main attack direction is in the west of the city.

The artillery fires, and then the armored men and the black flag Han army rely on shield vehicles to advance and shoot at each other under the city, and then cast iron heavy-duty heartless cannons replace the projectile pits, constantly killing and wounding the defenders on the city wall, and finally ended up with explosives. The car rushed straight to the city wall and blasted the city wall.

This is the result of the Black Banner Army in one day.

But the Qing army had already prepared for street fighting in the city.

That night, the Black Banner Army invaded the city, relying on flying thunder cannons to continuously throw explosives and bombard them, but they only occupied two blocks near the breach in the city wall.

The Cast Iron Thunder Cannon is slightly better than the Heartless Cannon, but it's also better than the unscrupulous Iron Barrel Heartless Cannon.

The fact that it is big and heavy alone makes it impossible for Zheng Hei Qi to use it to attack quickly.

But Zhu Youjian also needs to ensure low casualties, and ensure that there will be enough troops to face Wu Sangui's Guanning Army in the future.

After staying overnight, the Black Banner Army transported more Feilei cannons into the city, relying on the instant burst of firepower to take down half of the city in the morning, Xiaolinghe City Lord General Obai saw that the situation was not right, and began to prepare to break out in the direction of Jinzhou City.

At the same time, Oboi finally fully understood how the Black Banner Army's short-range firepower came about.

The explosion effect produced by the explosive package fired by the heavy and huge artillery, in terms of bombing people at medium and short distances, is much stronger than the solid bullets used in the Qing Dynasty today!
The only thing that puzzled him was that it was obviously very difficult to transport this kind of heavy artillery in the trenches. Why hadn't he seen it before?
