Chapter 158

Emperor Chongzhen was actually very worried about Cheng Shijie and his Ning Haijun. Since Nurhaci rebelled, the Ming Dynasty had won less and lost more. Especially after the defeat of Dalinghe, Emperor Chongzhen had discovered that he had no cards left to play.

Guan Ning's army is not good enough. This is the cruel reality that Emperor Chongzhen recognized. Now Ning Haijun has finally achieved a great victory in Haizhou and severely damaged Jiannu. Now Jiannu has sent all the troops from the country southward. Once Ning Haijun is defeated, he will have nothing.

!

The current Emperor Chongzhen is in chaos, and he doesn't know whether he should agree to Cheng Shijie's war, or let him preserve his strength. Preserving strength is good, but establishing a slave will make him even more arrogant.

In a dilemma, he thought of the old man Sun Chengzong again, and quickly asked someone to ask Sun Chengzong to come over and ask for advice.

After half an hour, Sun Chengzong entered the palace.

"Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live our Emperor!"

"Please get up, Mr. Ge!"

Emperor Chongzhen helped Sun Chengzong up, and then explained the military intelligence he had obtained to Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong looked at the man who was about to move, not knowing why he was afraid. Cheng Shijie was sitting on a soft couch with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

All the Jiannu generals, including Huang Taiji, gasped.

Some brave Ning navy soldiers took out the artillery shells that were stuck in the loose soil and threw them for fun. This is a good thing. It can be used directly by the artillery to retaliate against the slaves. If the artillery really can't use it, it can also be used by the artillery.

It melts down the bullets used to make firecrackers, and there are a lot of benefits anyway.

Jiannu always likes to use the cheapest cannon fodder in wars. Whether it is artillery or muskets, including crossbows, they all have a service life. If the artillery is fired for a long time, the barrel will turn red, and if the musket is fired for a long time, the barrel will also become red.

Red, if not, the barrel will explode. When the cannon fodder has almost consumed the Ming army's artillery and muskets, the elites of the Eight Banners of Jiannu will swarm forward to pick up the fruits of victory. This is a basic operation that the Jurchens are absolutely invincible.

There is no way, the wire mesh is extremely elastic, and there is no place for the wire to bear force. Therefore, no matter how much force is used, these iron core meshes will not move. No, it should be said that the wires are flying up and down, but they are chaotic and continuous.

Meituo Lake has now become a huge trap. The Meituo Lake loaded with explosives will blast Jiannu while he is walking on the lake, allowing Jiannu to try what it feels like to flood the Seventh Army.

Along with summoning Xu Guangqi, there were also three cabinet ministers, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru.

Du Du stroked his beard and said, "The iron wire is a good thing for reinforcing the sheepfold. If the sheep are surrounded by such a circle, they will not be able to get out."

The Mongolian Zuoying is the most elite servant army of Jiannu. Its status is transcendent. It is above the Mongolian right camp and the Han banner, and even has a higher status than many Jiannu coated slaves and even soldiers. This is Horqin Mongolia's

Basically, they are loyal and reliable, have good combat effectiveness and are well-equipped.

Instead, it was Xu Guangqi who proposed the idea. In order to win over Xu Guangqi and his Western French Party, the two of them kept showing their goodwill. However, on the issue of Ning Haijun sending troops, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru unexpectedly formed a bizarre alliance.

Huang Taiji thought for a while and reluctantly agreed to Hauge's request.

Sun Chengzong's qualifications are also sufficient.

But the problem is that after the shaft technology has solved the production technology of seamless steel pipes, rebars, and engineering steel, there is no electric welding. To make a steel frame, the only way is to burn a piece of steel red and rivet the steel bars.

Connecting them together is slow and expensive.

Of course, Cheng Shijie has another arrangement, that is, Chen Dayong's headquarters is located in Shuangcheng Guards. After four months of military expansion, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians deployed there with Meituo Lake. The five cities of Meituo Lake are all located along the lake.

Jian, if Jiannu thinks that the frozen Meituo Lake can allow Jiannu to come and go freely, they will definitely enjoy the taste of winter travel.

"Boom boom..."

Later, after encountering iron wire, the progress of this project increased several times, and the need for iron wire increased. The production of iron wire and steel wire are the flagship products of Hansteel Group, especially those used in certain special environments.

Special steel wire, the product quality of Hansteel Group can be placed in world-class competition.

At the same time, the Jiannu forward was blocked by Ning Haijun in the Qianshan area in the middle of Yeliao. Ning Haijun's blocking position was not complicated. It was to lay thick and long wooden stakes on the ground and then pull them up.

The wire, at least 1.6 meters high, surrounded the entire camp like a fence.

During the roar of artillery fire, Hou Jin loudly laughed at Hou Jin: "Jiannu, didn't you eat milk today? You can't even fire a cannon!"

If Hou Jin loses tens of thousands of soldiers, he will definitely stay honest. If Cheng Shijie dies, the momentum of military men threatening the status of civil servants will come to an abrupt end. They can openly carve up Cheng Shijie's properties in southern Liaoning one by one and make a fortune.

Is there a better ending than this?

As for Xu Guangqi, Zhou Yanru and Wen Renti didn't take it seriously. For an old scholar like Xu Guangqi, it was just a piece of cake for Zhang Fei to eat bean sprouts.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that it is better to let the tiger return to the mountain than to harm the tiger's power!" Sun Chengzong looked at Cheng Shijie who was pretending to sleep with the corner of his eyes, and then solemnly said: "Since the tragic defeat of Saarhu, how many people in the Ming Dynasty dare to take the initiative?

No one fought with the Jian Nu in the wild? All along, our army defended wherever the Jian Nu attacked. We were so passive that our army lost more and more cities, and the Jian Nu became more and more rampant!

Now General Cheng is not afraid of powerful enemies and dares to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight Jiannu. Let’s not talk about anything else. This courage alone is worth commending!"

"Yes, Master!"

This is so scary.

Thunder cannon shells are explosive packets that fall in the Mongolian cavalry formation, and rise up into orange-red fireballs. With the fireballs as dots, all people or horses within a radius of fifty meters are turned into pieces of flesh and blood.

There was a rain of flesh and blood on the spot.

Azig shook his head: "They did dig a ditch last time, but they didn't have this fence!"

As soon as they saw the Mongolian cavalry rushing up, the Ning navy soldiers in charge of the defense laughed: "Brothers, we found out, don't shoot, let the Mongols come closer!"

"What you said makes sense, but this is just a guess!"

"My lord, we are not afraid of Jiannu coming out in force. If Jiannu really comes out in force, we won't have to fight this battle. We will definitely win!"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "What do you think we should do now?"

It doesn't matter whether it's a turtle with its head extended or a turtle with its head stretched out. Anyway, the first shell hasn't hit the ground yet, and there's not even a single Ning Navy soldier to be found on the surface of the position.

The sound of firecrackers sounded like exploding beans. The Mongolian cavalry who wanted to cut the barbed wire with their sabers sadly discovered that no matter how hard they tried, the barbed wire remained strong.

Sun Chengzong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Dongjiang Army?"

"Bang bang bang..."

Cheng Shijie said: "I have the power to control the Dongjiang Army. Once the Jiannu are out in force, the rear will definitely be empty. I will order the Huanglong Division of the Dongjiang Army to draw 20,000 to 30,000 elite troops and go north along the Yalu River to attack the left and right guards of the Jiannu."

Cheng Shijie stood up and said: "Until Jiannu is beaten to the ground! I believe that even if Ning Haijun is defeated and the entire army is wiped out, I can reorganize and train a new and stronger army within a year, with hundreds of millions of soldiers."

With the people as our backing, there is nothing to fear!"

The question is still the same: "Who do you think will win and who will lose in this battle?"

At this time, in the Qianshan area, barbed wire fences were erected wherever one could pass. In addition to barbed wire fences, there were also trenches. Ning Haijun used Qianshan Town Fort as a fulcrum to dig barbed wire fences and trenches until they were about ten kilometers from Qianshan Town.

The same goes for Dujiabao, Dujiabao and Zhangjiabao, which are adjacent to each other for several miles.

Emperor Chongzhen was actually a little scared when he heard the news that an army of 100,000 slaves was going south. He didn't want to think that his sister had just been married here and she would become an outcast.

The shelling effect was very poor. Hauge's face turned dark instantly. Looking at Sun Youguang again, his eyes were just eyes and his nose was no longer a nose.

Even if Jiannu does not move out, Chen Dayong's department can still do it by dispatching a few small-scale troops to attack the Jurchen hinterland in Haidong. The question now is whether Jiannu is willing to take the gamble.

After Cheng Shijie and Sun Chengzong left, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Xu Guangqi, who had just recovered from his serious illness.

Before Huang Taiji could finish speaking, Hauge plucked up the courage and said, "King Khan, I want to be the vanguard and take the lead!"

More than a thousand Mongolian cavalry came forward to test, but none of them returned. They all died in front of the battle. Some were beaten into sieves by fire or thunder cannons, or shot into hedgehogs by crossbow arrows, and some were blown up by flying thunder cannons.

It was broken into pieces, and some were cut into pieces by artillery shells.

"Jiannu, you are delivering cannonballs to grandpa, right?"

After receiving the report from Yue Tuo, Huang Taiji's eyes burst with murderous intent: "Sure enough, the traitor Cheng Shijie has been prepared for it. He never thought of becoming friends with our Daikin!"

Hauge raised his whip and struck Sun Youguang with more than ten whips, causing Sun Youguang to roll on the ground.

"If you lose, continue to train a new army and continue fighting!"

More than a dozen gates made a deafening roar, and the hot lead ball pulled out a graceful parabola and slammed towards Ning Haijun's position. There was a cry of surprise from Ning Haijun's position, and the soldiers who were busy reinforcing the fortifications hurriedly hid in the trenches.

"That's right!"

Following Yue Tuo's order, the six thousand elite cavalrymen with red flags dispersed. After most of a day, they returned one after another and reported to Yue Tuo.

"There is no shortage of soldiers. Training of troops requires money and food, right? Where's the money? Where's the food? How to solve it?"

One day later, more than a dozen cannons finally arrived at the front line. Hauge took the lead in ordering Sun Degong to take the Han banner. After Sun Degong was beaten to death by Duduo, Huang Taiji did not say a word more about Sun Degong's violent death as Duduo said. Sun Youguang

Maile Zhangjing, who was left behind by Sun Yougong, was not the deputy capital commander or deputy flag leader later.

Mang Gurtai saw this scene and frowned: "Strange, strange, what is Minggou doing? Twelve brothers, you have fought against Minggou, do you know what they are doing?"

The sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, until the Mongolian soldiers charged in front of the barbed wire fence, and then there was no more.

Mang Gurtai waved his hand and said: "No matter what they want to do, even if they want to dig graves, we can't let them do it!"

Chongzhen asked with some fear: "What if we lose?"

The situation is really not optimistic. Ning Haijun is very courageous. From Taizi River to Hun River and then to Qianshan, all the places that are more than 500 miles long have been arranged.

Later, under Cheng Shijie's prompting, Ning Haijun's craftsmen built a hydraulic wire drawing machine, and the speed could be adjusted through a gear set.

Yue Tuo returned to the formation and faced more than 6,000 elite troops with red flags. He said: "Go and look around. Is the fence of Mingguo tightly fenced?"

Chongzhen said in silence for a long time: "I have to think about it again... Cheng Qing, Mr. Sun Ge, you go back first!"

After saying that, he walked out without waiting for the two of them to salute. He really had to think about it.

"What a pity, it's just Mongolians!"

Looking at the busy Mongolian soldiers, Thunderbolt, a primitive machine gun of the Ming Dynasty, began to fire, and each Thunderbolt bullet drilled out bloody flowers on the body of the Mongolian cavalry.
