Chapter 1125 Determination
According to the current situation, Yang Yinglong felt that he had no choice but to stick to Hai Longtun.

When the veterans of the Qin Army Division exhausted their food and had to retreat, the battle was won.

But he underestimated the determination of the Qin army to fight decisively, and also underestimated the thickness of the granary and the mobilization of the peasants after the harvest in the whole south of the Yangtze River.

The grassroots officials of the newborn Daqin went to the villages to mobilize the strong men to deliver food and salaries to the army. The driving force was to avoid agricultural taxes, and the enthusiasm of the peasants was very high.

The large workshops for the production of military materials were running at full capacity. After receiving the promise and reward of processing money, the craftsmen worked in three shifts day and night, vigorously producing military supplies such as guns, ammunition, knives, swords, halberds, bows and crossbows, and the output increased unprecedentedly.

Food and military resources were continuously transported to Guizhou via rivers and land to be used by the army. The whole of Jiangnan was working for this war, and it was fully mobilized. Xiao Ruxun regarded this war as an experience, a full-scale mobilization exercise.

Xiao Ruxun wants to test the effectiveness of the land reform since the founding of the country, the specific effect of the imperial power going to the countryside, and the working ability of grassroots officials, etc., to see if there is any rough jade that can be brought to the central government for training and appointment.

The grassroots officials also know what the emperor means. Every time a war breaks out, it is the time for them to show the emperor their working ability and achievements. , It is not a problem to enter the center.

Therefore, this war mobilizes various groups such as the desperate bureaucrats of the new Great Qin. Half of the Great Qin is mobilizing. Compared with the mobilization force that lasted only one month in Myanmar back then, this time the mobilization force can be called devastating. .

The majestic sight amazed the chieftains of Guizhou. This time, the imperial court’s muscle-strengthening action was quite successful. The chieftains in Sichuan, Guizhou and other places in Southwest China were deeply afraid of the imperial court’s strength.

Many southwestern chieftains with a little foresight had a premonition of the final victory of the Qin army and the possibility of a reshuffle of power in Guizhou and Sichuan after the war.

After all, Yang Yinglong's [-] troops were defeated in fifteen days, and Yang Yinglong was forced to join Hailong Tun as Yang Kunlong. This combat power and mobilization power were enough to make them look at the new Great Qin court with admiration and fear from the bottom of their hearts.

They will naturally develop a subconscious mind that the Qin court is invincible, and will soon show the instinct to kneel and lick.

Sure enough, after the news that the Qin army defeated Yang Yinglong and besieged Hailongtun in [-] days spread through official and private channels, chieftains continued to contact Guizhou Governor Zhu Zhengse and Sichuan Governor Wang Xiangqian, and said with smiles that although it is too late to send troops , but willing to contribute money and food to help the army, I don't know if it is possible.

After hearing such words, Zhu Zhengse smiled very kindly on his good-natured face, and Wang Xianggan also showed a little smile on his serious face——

Of course, what you have paid today will not be forgotten by the Great Qin Court, and the Great Qin Court will definitely remember your contribution.

The chieftains were overjoyed, and began to mobilize, sending food and money to the Qin army, and gaining the favor of the two governors, the Daqin court and Zhu Zhengse Wang Xiangqian.

They are looking forward to some rewards after the war is over, or preferential policies or something.

The Qin army's military supplies have been abundant like never before. From the current point of view, it is not a problem to support it for two or three months.

And if the battle can't be resolved in two or three months, Xiao Ruxun probably has the thought of the imperial conquest, and the generals like Zheng Ying don't want to get promoted and get rich, and they probably have the desire to commit suicide in shame.

With such a good advantage, the battle cannot be resolved as soon as possible, and it will take two or three months?
Then really don't mess around, the entire Daqin army will mock these people.

So Yang Yinglong thought that the Qin army would be the same as the original Ming army. It would be exhausted again and again, and it would retreat if it could not last until the final victory.

This was a complete miscalculation, Yang Yinglong didn't have any correct understanding of Daqin, and he didn't even have the idea of ​​understanding it, which was a big taboo for military strategists.

You don't know anything about your opponent, and your opponent knows how many bounties you have in your pocket.

Zheng Ying's only pity is that Yang Yinglong is still a little vigilant, and he takes a very close look at Hai Longtun, his old lair.

All the people who go in to serve are old people who have served for many years. They all know each other. Any new face will be very eye-catching. However, the time for Blackwater agents to infiltrate Bozhou is still short. core area.

But they did a good job, except for Hai Longtun, the whole Bozhou is a sieve full of holes.

This last Hailongtun is indeed solid as gold. It is worthy of being a fortress built since the Song Dynasty. It can be called a living fossil of an era, and it is inevitable that it is difficult to penetrate.

Even if it is so, it is not a big deal. Could it be said that it is difficult to infiltrate, and this battle will not be fought?

Following Zheng Ying's order, the drums of war rumbled, and the first wave of attack began.

In the front of the village, Qi Dayong's generals led a part of the troops to make a feint attack, while in the back of the village, Qi Dayong personally led the main force to launch a super offensive.

Before the army attacked, the Hongyi cannons rumbled, and the Fran cannon team was also preparing. After the Hongyi cannons destroyed the long-range strike weapons on the city, they pushed forward and continued to bombard the infantry. Siege creates opportunity.

There are also quite a few cannons on Houguanguan City, but most of them are all kinds of exotic cannons, and a few are Fran cannons, which can't hit far. Seeing the Qin army's Hongyi cannons blasting big iron balls directly Checking that they were hit on the head, Yang Wei was frightened out of his wits.

Fortunately, the accuracy was a bit off, and the first round of shooting failed to hit them hard, so Yang Wei quickly reacted, and ordered to fire back in frustration.

The Bozhou soldiers in the city were busy preparing to fire in twos and threes, but for a while there was no way to organize them, and the cannons were fired sparsely, one shot at a time, and one shot at a time, and they were flying and falling to the ground. The artillery still has a long way to go.

"Why can't I hit it? Why can't I hit it?!"

Yang Wei was very annoyed. He had no experience in using artillery. He took it for granted that Qin Jun's artillery could hit far, and so could his artillery, but the reality was cruel, and his artillery could not hit that far.

"General, that cannon can hit two miles, but ours can only hit one mile at most."

An experienced Chinese gunner explained the difference to Yang Wei, but Yang Wei was so angry that he chopped off the gunner's head.

"Anyone who dares to fail to hit the cannons of those officers and soldiers with no effort will be executed on the spot!"

He is still an idealist.

The emotional artillery can't hit far because the gunner doesn't work hard.

If Qi Dayong in the city knew about this, he would probably laugh out loud.

But during this period of time, the gunners of the Qin Army adjusted their positions and the muzzle of the artillery, and reloaded ammunition again. This time, they were more sure.

"Ignition——fire the cannon!!!"

The order was given, and the gunners fired one after another, then squatted down and covered their ears.

There was a deafening sound, and the strong airflow kicked up a cloud of dust on the ground around the artillery, and the terrible iron bullet flew towards Houguanguan City wrapped in thick smoke.

"How dare you not use your strength! How dare you fail to hit me! Look at me if I don't hack to death...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Yang Wei watched helplessly as the terrifying iron bullet flew straight towards the tower.
