Chapter 501

Huang Taiji personally came to the grassland that once caused them to lose their troops. Now he ordered the soldiers to hold their shields and clear the iron branches and traps on the grassland.

Originally, he thought it was a very simple job, but who knew that when they were clearing these things, they were also stubbornly blocked by the Ming army. The Ming army sent musketeers to shoot and kill the soldiers who cleared these obstacles. Jiannu had no choice but to hold a shield and carry out the removal work under the protection of the giant shield. The Ming army's muskets had no choice but to deal with these giant shields, but the Ming army was not easy to mess with. They directly pushed out their Folang machine cannons and bombarded them with cannons.

This hit the Jiannu soldiers a huge blow, because their shields were still OK to deal with muskets, but they were a little unable to deal with the opponent's Fran machine cannon. What annoyed them the most was the Ming army's cannon, which seemed to be worth nothing at all. They felt that it was not good, so they used cannons to bombard them.

How can the flesh and blood body withstand the bombardment of cannons?

Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji immediately ordered to return to Shenyang to speed up the construction of red-clothed cannons. They must also have a team of cannons that belong to them. Even if the entire Jianzhou sells its own bad luck, they must have as many artillery as the Ming army. They have no artillery to fight with the Ming army now, which is simply to let the other party fight.

Of course, Jiannu and the others also had some of their artillery. Their artillery had only one source, that was, they were seized from the Ming army. They captured many cities of the Ming army, which also allowed them to obtain many artillery from the Ming army.

However, these cannons have severe cut corners and are of very poor quality, so they cannot play their due role.

The soldiers of Jiannu braved the artillery fire of the Ming army to clear the obstacles on the grass. Therefore, when Huang Taiji saw this, he ordered the soldiers to stop such actions for the time being, because he knew one thing that even if these obstacles were cleared, the Ming army still had many cannons behind the position. When they launched a group charge, these cannons would cause them great damage. If they did not launch a group charge and adopted the form of straits, they would not be able to do anything to the other party.

If it were an ordinary Ming army, they would use small groups of troops and fight to drag the other side down. However, this Ming army is really powerful. They don’t care about shells at all. If you dare to come, they dare to use cannons to bombard them. It seems that their shells are endless and they are worthless at all, so just fight them directly.

The Jianzhou nobles led by Dorgon and others actually came up with a solution, which was to capture the Han people and attack the Ming army with meat shields. However, this kind of work could only be done privately, which was contrary to the policies implemented by Huang Taiji after he ascended the throne. After Huang Taiji waited for a while, he consolidated and expanded his rule in the Liaodong land outside the pass. After he ascended the throne, he immediately stipulated the protection of land and livestock as a code. Crops in the fields were not allowed to be stolen or destroyed, sows were not allowed to be killed, horses, cattle, etc. or betrayed. Almost every year, he regarded urging farming as an important activity, and it was proposed that the farming season should not be lost, and those who abolished the farming work were punished.

Huang Taiji knew that grains were the fate of all people, and he was not panicked when he had grain in his hands, so he repeatedly emphasized the good farming. With his efforts, Jiannu's lack of food improved.

Its handicraft production also made great progress. After it ascended the throne, it began to build palaces in Zhongwei City, Shenyang. Its scale and technology both marked the high level of handicraft industry. The west Shisheng Temple in Shenyang City was casting a large clock and a thousand jin, and the level of smelting and casting was very high.

During the Tiancong period, although there were no more cases of resistance such as killing of Han people, poisoning of Han people, robbing and killing, Huang Taiji still paid attention to easing social conflicts under his rule. He ordered his subordinates to do a good job in raising people, especially to resettle Manchuria, Mongolian, and Han people who had been plundered or surrendered.

Some people even complained in front of him, saying that when Taizu was killed, Han people were like pigs and dogs, and now Han people have become kings, some have a sensation for the country and the capital, but the Jianzhou royal family has officials and some have people who serve the people, and the times are reversed. As for this, Huang Taiji did not shake his approach.

Huang Taiji can stabilize the situation in the short term and gain support from all parties. This is related to his emphasis on the use of Han people and a large number of Han generals. Although in Jianzhou, he was still in a situation where Jiannu was the chief and Han people were servants, he still advocated the Manchu and Han family in public, which was fair and just. Therefore, Huang Taiji was impossible and did not allow people to capture people to attack the city, because he had already listed Liaonan as his own territory. If the people within his territory were driven to attack the city and make meat shields, it would only cause accusations and ridicule from the people of the world.

But if you attack the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it would be different. The Han people within the Ming Dynasty do not belong to them and can kill them and make trouble.

However, although Dorgon and others were thinking of capturing a group of Han people to use as meat shields to attack the city, when they sent troops to plunder everywhere, they found that after more than ten years of tossing and large-scale massacres in the Nurhaci era, there were very few Han people in the local area. The more than ten years of war have greatly damaged the local economy and people's livelihood. The people were either killed or exiled to the pass. Ninety-fives were empty and there were no people in a hundred miles of people. There were no enough people to capture them to make meat shields. Therefore, Dorgon and others thought that they were very good at using their own ideas. If they wanted to deal with the Ming army's muskets, they still had to use their heads to push them. In this way, the battle was cruel and fierce.

However, Jiannu is worthy of being the most elite force in the world. They are not afraid of fighting with the Ming army's musketeers. When launching charges and attacks, they are easily attacked by the Ming army's musketeers and easily attacked by the enemy's cannons. This makes them dare not launch a charge easily. However, they quickly took measures to counteract, that is, they cannot launch a group charge, and they can launch a scattered soldier to charge. Their soldiers, three in a group, held a giant shield, protected the archers forward, and sent archers to shoot the enemy. Their policy also brought huge casualties to the Ming army, and the casualties on both sides were rising sharply, and they were almost the same.

The Liu family army was very angry and shocked at such casualties, because this was the highest casualties rate in their previous wars. However, if we counted, no one in the entire Ming army could fight better, because there was no army in the entire Ming army, which could produce a one-to-one casualties ratio with modeling. The Liu family army lost thousands of people, but Jiannu was also suffering from casualties, and both sides were almost at the same level.

The Liu family army thought it was difficult to accept, but Jiannu thought it was even more difficult to accept. Such casualties were the worst in their previous battles. None of them. Such casualties made every general and soldier in the building feel scared. Fighting with the Ming army was not to fight Qiugu, or as paraded in the streets before, but to die.

Moreover, their soldiers' casualties and high death rates are unprecedented in their rise. It can be said that when Jiannu is fighting with the Ming army, they are all afraid. If they were fighting with the Ming army in the past, many people would think that going to rob is like playing. However, when fighting with the Ming army now, many people are afraid and will give their last words and suicide notes before departure, because they know that at least more than half of the chances of going back...

The Liu family army achieved such a record enough to prove that they were the most powerful troops in the world, but Liu Bu was not satisfied with this result. After all, they were a firearmed force, and their firepower and equipment were almost the same as those of the European mercenary groups, and some things were even more advanced. However, they used cannons and muskets to fight each other, and they barely fought a draw, which was enough to prove the strength of Jiannu. No wonder they were able to sweep all the forces of this era and become the most powerful armed force in the east of this era.

If the Liu family army had not opened the golden finger without Liu Bu, they would probably not be able to defeat such a powerful enemy.

The Liu family army fought against the attack of the Jiannu army in southern Liaoning. Although they still had some confidence in dealing with the other side, since the war started, their emergency documents had flown into the capital like snowflakes. At the beginning, they reported one day, and after two or three days, they reported three day and four day, and even every hour.

At the beginning, there was an emergency, then a hundred thousand, million, and million, and thousands of people were urgent. Their help envoys rushed to the capital in a steady stream, which scared all the officers and soldiers guarding the capital, because they saw that every other hour, an emergency report came, which scared them.

The Liu family army's behavior not only scared the officers and soldiers at the city gate, but also scared the common people and the officials of the court. The officials of the court were very optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Liu family army and believed that they were well-equipped and could fight with Jiannu and might even defeat Jiannu's main army. After all, they have created many miracles, and even if they create miracles, it is not a strange thing.

Who knew that as soon as the war started, they immediately began to get into trouble and asked the court to ask for reinforcements for money and food. The urgent battle reports were even more filled with the desks of the Tongzhengsi. At first, the court officials thought that Liu Bu was just showing the court's face. The court did not invest any resources here, but had too many requests. This was called calling children who could eat milk.
