Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

Zhou Di, who was standing behind Tian Shengyuan, also greatly appreciated Jiang Jianke's plan and was even gearing up to show off his skills.

"How far do you think the big Buddha Langji and the invincible general in Jintian City can hit?" Weizhou also agrees with the plan proposed by Jiang Jianke. It is very simple. I want to use my artillery fire and range advantage to torture you. !

"Most of the Folangjis and generals in the Mainland have each gun about eight feet long, and the manufacturing process is not limited to copper or iron, but the main thing is to be strong and thick. According to the provisions of the "Military Bei Zhi" of the Ming Dynasty, the Folangjis in the Mainland' If you take the test in the teaching field, you can only take a hundred steps, which is about three hundred meters!" Tian Shengyuan knows the situation in his professional field very well, and he speaks clearly.

"Furthermore, after the three-shot blunderbuss is fired, it must cool down for a moment to prevent the blunderbuss from overheating and possibly exploding the barrel."

"Old Jiang!" Zhou Di on the side said with a smile.

"I just listened to your method. Inspired by you, I also have a method, which is a little improvement on your method. What do you think?"

"I'd like to hear the details!" Jiang Jianke said humbly.

Zhou Di's method is actually very simple. He planned to create a situation where a large group of troops were about to attack before setting out to protect the Zhuang River, or to send a small group of troops to move outside the range of the Fo Lang machine in the siege to lure those who were surrounded by Jintian into their hearts. The timid and panicked gunner opened fire.

"Even if we can't blow up their artillery, it would be better to use up more of their gunpowder and muskets! This little Jintian doesn't expect to have much reserve of artillery shells. When their artillery goes silent, this will be our chance."

Tian Shengyuan punched Zhou Di hard on the chest, "Zhou Di! You bastard! You can't even come up with such an evil and smoking idea!"

"Regardless of whether you are immoral or not, it is a good idea to defeat your opponent!" Weizhou gave the final say to everyone's discussion.

So he summoned the generals and began to arrange combat tasks.

"1. When each battalion returns, immediately build camp fortifications and artillery emplacements. The construction of fortifications must be completed before dark, and the fighter aircraft must not be delayed."

"Second, allocate some troops to carry out activities around the Jintian siege to lure the artillery fire on the siege to open fire! In order to consume the ammunition of the city's artillery, at the same time, we can find out the true combat power of Jintian."

The Keelung Army's sleepless work mission made the people surrounded by Kam Tin spend a sleepless night in tension and fear.

Outside the wall, from time to time, someone would shout threats, or fire a gun here and there, and the sound would rise and fall.

At first people fired back with cannons, but after dozens of false alarms, the soldiers on the city became mentally and mentally exhausted, and finally let go.

You can do whatever you want outside the Huzhuang River, we can't control it!

There are policies and measures to counter. Weizhou is not a general who lets the person in front of him go so easily.

good! You ignore me when you harass me sporadicly!

Then, the team-level shouting and dispatch began.

Each battalion stationed outside Kam Tin Wai, in addition to supervising the troops who led the civilians to build camps and artillery positions there, also dispatched a team of troops from each battalion to take turns responsible for harassing the surrounding areas of Kam Tin Wai. Task.

When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy retreats, we pursue. Weizhou gave full play to Taizu's sixteen-character guerrilla warfare method learned in the Army Academy.

Every half an hour or so, from the east, west, north, or south, there is the sound of troops advancing, the clash of swords and guns, whispers, or the sound of the Huzhuang River rushing. , in short, it’s as thrilling as it comes.

The other five sieges, the southern siege, the northern siege and the new siege, were attacked in another form - our army's propaganda.

"The rent must be reduced to 35%, and the interest must also be reduced to 20%!"

"The accounts of the ancestral hall must be made public! The whole clan shares everything!"

"Officials and gentry all pay for themselves and serve as errands!"

"Assessed taxes should not be paid by middle-class or poor households!"

Similar slogans, accompanied by the beating of gongs and drums, appeared extremely clear in the deep night.

In the brightly lit place, Weizhou looked at the camp that had begun to take shape, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The soldiers have worked hard tonight. I ordered a two-hour rest, and then eat! After the meal, the battalions began to move out!"

At dawn, several fast horses rushed over from the direction of Jinping County City.

The rider on the horse took a look at the dark camp and the dense artillery emplacements surrounding Kam Tin, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.

"This group of pirates came so quickly!"

"Fifth brother, what should we do? Are we still entering the enclosure?"

"What a bastard!" Deng Wulang swung the whip in his hand and hit the top of the bamboo helmet on the man's head, and cursed, "Of course you have to go in. How can you go home without entering the door?"

Looking at the slightly concerned people around, Deng Wulang shouted: "Anyone with eggs, please rush in through the gap outside the enclosure with me and report the news to Grandpa!"

"As for those who are afraid of death, run away as soon as possible!"

With a sneer, Deng Wulang led his horse and galloped towards Jintian.

Outside the enclosure, the lights are brightly lit, as bright as a lantern festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Near some passages, many fires were lit with firewood to light the way for people passing by.

Amidst the sparks flying, several of Deng Wulang's fast horses rushed to the Huzhuang River outside the enclosure along the passage reserved for each battalion's attack.

.........

"What! Four people rushed into the encirclement on horseback?!" In the Chinese army's tent, Weizhou immediately received the report from the officer on duty.

"Yes, sir! This is the news just reported before the battle."

"Why didn't you stop him?" Weizhou looked at the officer on duty and his face changed slightly. The officer on duty was about to speak when he was interrupted.

"never mind!"

Weizhou waved the officer on duty to leave. When these four people went in, there wouldn't be much change in the strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves. At most, they could report the situation outside to the person in charge inside, so it wouldn't be a big deal. Perhaps, those bad news will further affect their public sentiment and morale!

"What? That rabbit Liu Wendou took our money but refused to come to mediate? He didn't even want to leave the city?"

In the circle, Mr. Deng Wentian, as if his last bit of vitality had been ruthlessly taken away, sat down on a chair, his face turned ashen, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Grandpa! That thief, Gao Gao, happily accepted our money at first, but in a blink of an eye, he refused and said that the surrounding area of ​​the county was not stable. He was afraid that the county would be damaged and did not dare to leave easily. He just wrote a letter Ask Sun'er to bring it back to the leader of the Keelung Army, and let us either hand it over to the leader of the Keelung Army for peace talks, or we can stay away from the enemy temporarily and go to the county town."

"What nonsense is this! How can we, young and old, with thousands of people, break out from being surrounded by thousands of troops?!"

Old Mrs. Deng glanced at the letter of persuasion on the table. He placed his last hope on the face of the county magistrate.

"Go! Get my official gentry robe! In addition, send someone to prepare gold, silver, and other goods."

Touching the robe of his youth, Old Madam Deng had a determined look on his face, "Xiao Wu, please remember, if anything happens to me, you must do everything possible to break out and save some of the blood of my Deng family. Don’t think about revenge after you get out, just find a safe place and live quietly and anonymously..."

Deng Wulang's face was already covered with tears. He hugged Deng Wentian's legs and cried loudly: "Grandpa, let's give it a try!"

"When I die, fight!" Deng Wentian let out the last roar of a lion.

"Grandpa, you can't die!"

"Get out of here! You boneless thing! I'm not dead yet!" Deng Wentian put his hat on his head of white hair, and his brows showed the look of the overlord who ruled the roost.

"Go! Gather everyone around, young and old, strong and strong, go up to the wall to defend, and tell them that life and death are only today!"
