The shell bounced a few times on the slope before becoming exhausted.
There were also shells falling into the gun platform, but they were of no use.
Most of the Ming troops were hiding behind the fence, and there was no one in the open space in the middle of the gun platform.
At that moment, Dorgon frowned and said, "I don't know who came up with this gun platform? It's really tricky. It's really hard to destroy such a gun platform."
Hong Chengchou asked: "Hou Fangyu, do you have any good ideas?"
Fulin's eyes immediately turned to Hou Fangyu's face. This dog slave seemed to be quite respected?
"As far as Mr. Hengjiu is concerned, there is no good way." Hou Fangyu shook his head and said, "There are only three stupid ways, either sending out coaters to dig out the outer slope protection, or directly attacking from the front, or mounting red cannons to
On the high platform, bombard the Ming army's cannon tower from above, so that the protective fence of the cannon tower can be destroyed."
"Isn't it possible to send soldiers to dig up slope protection?" Hong Chengchou said, "The Ming army will fire cannons and tiger cannons. Even if we send out carriages to protect them, they will not be able to withstand the Ming army's attack and many people will die."
"It's not possible to build a fort." Zhenbaiyintu, who happened to be on the side of the mountain with a yellow flag, said immediately, "Because we can build a fort, the Ming army can also increase the height of the slope protection. The Ming army only needs to provide slope protection."
To increase the height by one foot, we have to add another foot to the fort, which is impossible. We have tried it in Xuzhou."
Speaking of which, the first person to experience the power of this gun platform was Baiyintu.
At that time, more than 10,000 partial troops of Baiyintu were disgraced by the guns.
In the end, under the pursuit of the Mongolian Yidin, the entire army was almost destroyed.
"Then launch a strong attack directly from the front." Hou Fangyu said helplessly.
"When the Ten Kings were on the battlefield in Xuzhou, they defeated many Ming army guns."
"This kind of blunderbuss requires hundreds or even hundreds of them to be superimposed."
"There are only two gun platforms like this, so it's easy to win them all at once."
After saying this, he added: "The defensive capability of a single gun platform in Bizhang is very limited."
"That's true." Baiyintu agreed, "It's easy to take down a single gun platform."
Hearing this, Dorgon, Hong Chengchou and others all nodded slightly. Even Fulin also took a keen interest in Hou Fangyu. This slave seemed to have a lot of brains.
…
On the watchtower at Dagukou.
Chen Mingyu asked worriedly: "Jianheng, due to the rush of time, we only built two gun towers, and the fortifications of the gun towers have not been completely repaired. Can we really hold it?"
"Don't worry." Yan Yingyuan said calmly, "I can definitely hold on."
"Is there really no problem?" Chen Mingyu was still a little worried, "I remember in the battle of Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou, Jiannu broke through four lines of defense in a row and broke through dozens of gun towers!"
Chen Mingyu now recalls the battle at Yunlong Mountain with lingering fear.
The situation at that time was so critical that even the scholar camp came out in full force.
I remember that at the most critical moment, it was only Li Shen who could turn this weakling back.
But their current situation is even worse than that of Yunlong Mountain. Tens of thousands of frontier troops on Yunlong Mountain were almost lost, but now they only have a total of 5,000 new troops in Dagukou. Can they really hold on?
The fierceness of Jiannu's white-armored soldiers is not fake, it is real fierceness.
"It's different." Yan Yingyuan shook his head and said, "How can the border troops guarding Xuzhou compare with our new army?"
"They were a group of frightened birds that scared Jiannu. They were frightened to death when they heard Jiannu's footsteps. Jiannu collapsed before he could even rush to him. They all just hated me and my mother for having two legs."
"But the officers and soldiers of the new army have no fear of the slaves."
"Besides, what kind of weapons did the Xuzhou frontier army use? It was a matchlock gun plus a spear."
"What kind of weapons does our new army use? Fusiliers, tiger squatting cannons, and red barbarian cannons. What's more, we also carry a large number of mines, gray bottles, and various weapons such as tens of thousands of enemies."
"There are also various defensive equipment such as soft walls, wooden cities, and horse-proofing."
"What's more important is that when we defended Xuzhou last time, we didn't have much experience."
"But now, we have a clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of gun platform defense."
Speaking of this meal, Yan Yingyuan added: "Gongchen, we have repeatedly deduced before coming to Dagukou. As long as the sea route is not cut off by the Jiannu Navy and the backup is not cut off, there will be no problem in holding on for ten years."
"But after all, it was just a map deduction, not a real battlefield battle."
"Gongchen, don't think so much. You've been exhausted these past few days."
"You go down first and have a good sleep. When you wake up, Jiannu will retreat."
Chen Mingyu could only smile bitterly, but it was impossible to go to sleep.
So, is Yan Yingyuan really confident, or is he just pretending? He is really confident.
When he was guarding Shanyang City last time, because the supplies at hand were too limited, many of Yan Yingyuan's fantastic ideas had no chance to be implemented, but this time he was able to put them into action when guarding Dagokou.
It's time to try Jian Nu's methods.
…
"Minion Wu Sangui, I would like to pay my respects to the emperor and the regent."
Panting, Wu Sangui climbed up to the well, flicked his sleeves and knelt down on one knee behind Dorgon.
Dorgon did not look back, but still looked at the battlefield ahead with his telescope, as if he had not heard Wu Sangui's voice, and the atmosphere became a little stagnant.
Wu Sangui's heart immediately lifted.
Ever since Dorgon reorganized the Ming Dynasty surrender troops and landlord armed forces in Shanxi, Shandong and Beizhi and unified them into the Green Camp, Wu Sangui's position has become somewhat embarrassing.
Because letting Wu Sangui be the commander-in-chief would definitely be an understatement.
But Dorgon was worried about letting Wu Sangui become the admiral of the Green Camp.
Dorgon was not a fool, so he could naturally see Wu Sangui's ambition.
Moreover, Wu Sangui was also very resistant to Guan Ning's army being reorganized into the Green Battalion. He became very negative for a time, which directly caused the Green Battalion to perform extremely poorly in the Battle of Hetao.
Although the Battle of Hetao was finally won, Dorgon was very angry.
As soon as the Hetao War ended, Dorgon kicked Wu Sangui to Jinzhou to wipe out the bandits.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is no human hair in Jinzhou now, where can the bandits come from? This is to make Wu Sangui sit on the bench. The Ming Emperor did not dare to touch the generals in western Liaoning, but Dorgon would not
Used to it.
Wu Sangui sat on the bench in Jinzhou for nearly half a year and finally figured it out.
Then he wrote a memorandum of ten thousand words to Dorgon, not only setting a very low profile, but also stating that he would dedicate all his enthusiasm and even his life to the Qing Dynasty's unification war.
Dorgon then recalled Wu Sangui back to Beijing.
Moreover, the ten battalions reorganized by Guan Ning's army were still handed over to Wu Sangui.
But Wu Sangui knew very well that Dorgon still had a knot in his heart.
To untie this knot, Guan Ningjun must show a decent performance at Dagukou.
After a long while, Dorgon turned his back to Wu Sangui and said: "Wu Sangui, someone once told me that you have a rebellion in the back of your head just like Wei Yan during the Three Kingdoms. Once you become a general with a heavy army, you will definitely rebel."
"Master, this slave is wronged." Wu Sangui's whole body was almost touching the ground, looking extremely humble.
Fulin glanced at Dorgon and then at Wu Sangui, with a look of enlightenment in his eyes.
Is this the art of controlling people? Is Dorgon taking the opportunity to beat Wu Sangui and stop him from having any objections?
"That man also warned me that if I don't want to cause trouble, I will get rid of you as soon as possible." Dorgon seemed not to have heard Wu Sangui's words, or he had heard them but ignored them, and just continued to talk to himself.
Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui's body was trembling slightly and he looked extremely frightened.
"But I feel that generals are hard to find, and you Wu Sangui is indeed a talented general."
"Wouldn't it be a pity if a general like you ends up in despair before he has a chance to realize his ambition?"
After a pause, Dorgon continued: "So, I decided to give you a chance. It is also a chance for me, and it is also a chance for the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui, I hope you can be worthy of my trust in you."
"Master, for you and for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I have no regrets even though I am so heartbroken."
Wu Sangui knocked his head three times and said: "Master, just stand here and watch. I will lead the Green Camp to take down Dagonkou and capture Yan Yingyuan alive."
"Okay, I will beat the drum for you personally here."
After saying that, Dorgon ordered Hou Fangyu: "Go and move the war drum."
"Hey!" Hou Fangyu agreed, turned around and went down the well to move the drum.
Wu Sangui went down to the well gate to join his old troops, and called Xia Longshan to him.
Wu Sangui had two powerful generals under his command: Hu Xinshui, a guerrilla from the left camp, and Xia Longshan, a guerrilla from the right camp. Coincidentally, these two generals each had a son who was brave and good at fighting.
However, Hu Xinshui and his son were abducted by the Dog Emperor Chongzhen during the Jiashen National Disaster in the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign. Also abducted were the only remaining thousand Mongolian Yiding, a thousand horsemen.
When Wu Sangui thinks about it now, it hurts his heart and lungs.
After Hu Xinshui and his son were abducted by Chongzhen, only Xia Longshan and his son were left.
"Brother, this battle depends on you." Wu Sangui hugged Xia Longshan's shoulders and warned, "You have seen the situation of our Guan Ning Army. If this continues, the Guan Ning Army will fall apart, so you must
To demonstrate the majesty of our Guan Ning Army in this battle, the Imperial Father and the Regent must see clearly that among the Green Camp soldiers, only our Guan Ning Army can really fight hard. The other Green Camp soldiers are all embroidered pillows, even if they are
Jiang Xiang’s Datong Army!”
"My lord, just watch." Xia Longshan said fiercely.
"Isn't it just a thousand Ming troops? This Ming army is not enough for us to fill our teeth."
"The Ming army only has Huang Degong, and Gao Jie's team still has some combat effectiveness."
"Others, including Zuo Liangyu, all bring food when they meet our Guan Ningjun."
Good guy, I dare you to say that Xia Longshan's understanding of the Ming army was still three years ago, and he didn't even know Zuo Liangyu was dead.
After a pause, Xia Longshan continued: "As for the Ming army in front, the last general can annihilate it with just one charge, and then seize the gun platform in one fell swoop!"
