The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 562
The heavy infantry packed by the Huang family to become iron men is also eager to form an formation and put Jiannu who dare to come in front of the formation. Although their number is not many due to the gradual elimination of all cold weapons by the Patriarch, the remaining heavy infantry are all He is the most loyal warrior who has been proven for a long time.

They are well-equipped and cooperate with each other tacitly. They have never been defeated, and no enemy with cold weapons can defeat them.

There are also Dongyang and Xiyi Death Squadrons who were selected as regular soldiers because of their military exploits. Their combat skills and courage should not be underestimated!

Jiannu didn't choose the cavalry to attack when the Ming army's foothold was not stable. They chose to confront each other. Of course, everyone is happy with such a good thing.The Ming army calmly established a firm foothold.

The transport ships continuously delivered semi-finished materials, and the steel lookout posts stood up one by one along with the excavation and extension of the tunnel. This thing is not afraid of being captured by the Hou Jin army.

The lookout posts are dead and heavy, and the scouts are the smartest existence. Their task is to observe the enemy's situation while ensuring their own safety, and deliver information to the support department in time, and they have no duty to defend the position.

The scout felt that the situation was not right, and he could return to the second line with the telescope on his back. After the golden army seized the lookout post, the enemy army could not take away the loot in a hurry, and the surroundings of the lookout post would be covered by artillery fire.

The Ming army changed people to dig every hour of the day and night, which naturally ensured their physical strength, and the digging speed was of course surprisingly fast. After half a month of eating away like this, the Ming army's tunnel was less than five miles away from the Jin army's tunnel.

A total of 36 steel lookout posts were built, and the scouts looking out on them had a panoramic view of the slave camp through fixed binoculars.

Nowadays, the sand table of the enemy's deployment made by the Zanhua Department may be more thorough than that of Hong Jie.

After more than ten days of busy work, the deployment of the No. 130 artillery position of the Ming Army was completed, and Commander Huang Donghai concentrated on using nine thousand field artillery, a total of [-] two.

Isn't Gou Jiannu waiting for the Ming army?We came as he wished.

On April [-]th in the sixth year of Chongzhen, the deployed artillery fire of the Ming army was ready to bombard Jiannu Jinzhou South Camp.

Huang Sheng personally came to the lookout post of the No. [-] artillery position to watch the battle. He didn't need to command here, and every thousand generals performed their duties.

Later, the Jin army conceived many plans for the Ming army to attack, but they did not expect that the Ming army would dig all the way. In just a dozen days, the Ming army actually dug twenty or thirty miles of the sea to be riddled with holes. Could it be that the Ming army all Groundhogs, how do they dig holes so quickly?

The Tunguska savages are a little dizzy, that "Killing God" man is too simple, even better at digging holes than us!

Of course, the Ming army, who had recuperated for half a year, was full of physical strength, and there were [-] to [-] engineering shovels. Everyone worked together with one heart and one mind to dig into the soft black soil naturally and extremely quickly.

The Jian slaves had nothing to do with them. Aha and the slave soldiers could hardly get enough nutrition even when they were full. Their physical strength was naturally worrying. Of course, they were stealing, cheating, slipping and sabotaging their work. Such work efficiency must not be comparable to that of the Ming army.

In a word, the difference between active work and passive work is too great, and the idea of ​​ownership is not as simple as talking about it.For the sake of themselves and the safety of Paoze, the Ming army definitely focused on one place and worked hard when digging trenches.

As a result, China's speed once again showed off, and the Hou Jin army looked at the Ming army's trenches from afar, like countless snakes swimming closer and closer, dumbfounded.

At noon, the real battle began. The 27 rifled guns of the Ming army began to roar, and the [-]-pound and [-]-pound flower bombs fell into the tunnel where Jiannu was hiding.

Suddenly being bombarded, many Koryo slave soldiers were bombarded, and a few stick soldiers yelled "Oh my god!" They threw down their matchlock guns and ran back. Blood mist sprayed out, and a head rolled down.

The vicious voice of Ba Yala, who built slaves and supervised the war, was particularly piercing: "There is no retreat, and those who dare to look back will be decisive!"

The discipline of the Houjin army was really cruel. Don't talk about retreating or running away, even looking back, you would be beheaded on the spot.

The slave soldiers were suppressed by the bullets, and one by one silently lay down in the trenches to gamble on their luck, praying in their hearts for God's blessing that the Ming army's shells would not fall beside them.

The messy front tunnel slowly quieted down. The Goryeo arquebus shooters and Jiannu archers were all waiting for the Ming army to attack, but the bad Ming army didn't come, and the shells were still flying randomly.

Huang Sheng clearly knew that the killing effect of the bombardment was greatly discounted in the case of ravines criss-crossing, so he still fiercely bombarded the Jin army's position regardless of the cost.

The Huang family has money and food, and they have produced too many bombs over the past few years. Isn’t it just two taels to five taels of silver for one piece? over.

A round of 27 rifled guns costs about 100 taels of silver. If smoothbore guns also join the battle group, one-time shooting costs 500 taels of silver. Dozens of rounds in a day will cost [-] to [-] taels of silver.

It can be seen that fighting is throwing away wealth, and it is the most expensive existence in the world. It is impossible to fight such a war of attrition without strong economic strength. How long can the poor Jiannu and Mongolian Tartars last?
The sound of "rumbling" artillery in the forward position was endless, even if the Jin army could not be killed, it was enough to make the slave soldiers frightened!

The scouts of the Ming army at the lookout post were all providing the coordinates of the guns of General Jiannu, the purpose of which was of course to make the enemy's artillery fire useless.

The mournful Jiannu took great pains to hem-chi-hum-chi to finally put the general's cannon in place, but unfortunately he didn't have time to fire a cannon, and received special attention from the Ming army's cannon fire.

Jiannu also wanted to order the gunners to fight back, but unfortunately they couldn't. They all knew that the Ming army was still far away.

The failure of the Ming army to charge does not mean inaction. "Dig, dig, dig" We are all great groundhogs. Everyone knows that the closer the tunnel is to Jiannu, the shorter the infantry's attack distance, and the enemy's cavalry advantage is worthless. It is mentioned that the attack efficiency will be doubled when the musketeer can shoot to the golden army.

At this moment, the members of the Ming army who had been training for half a year were not afraid of the Houjin army. They knew that everyone worked together to dig the position into a big face, and the war horses of Jiannu could not gallop.

A cavalryman who has lost his impact speed is a scumbag. He can chop down a Jiannu who seems to be skilled in bows and horses by waving an engineer shovel and jumping out of a tunnel suddenly.

At this time, the Ming army was no longer afraid of Jiannu's assault, but expected them to come to this ditch, because Jiannu's head was worth a lot of money.
