"In winter, the ground is frozen hard, so it's not very suitable." Considering the difficulty of digging a hole, Guo Dajing made a casual comment after teaching him how to use mines.
Liu Qishi looked at Guo Dajing, smiled, and said, "Do you think digging a hole is difficult? No matter how difficult it is, it is easier than fighting Jianlu face to face."
Wang Guozhong was also a little strange, and echoed Liu Qishi: "With this automatically triggered land mine, you can kill Jianlu without any effort. It's frozen soil. Digging a hole can only make you sweat. It's very cost-effective."
Guo Dajing scratched his head, looked at the expressions of the two men, and understood. In his opinion, digging a hole so tired and sweating was not a hole, and it could not be as simple and satisfying as killing him with one arrow.
"There are not many people like you. You have to fight tooth and nail to kill Jianlu." Liu Qishi also understood Guo Dajing's mentality, reached out and patted his back, and sighed.
Guo Dajing nodded and sighed secretly in his heart.
With the weapons and equipment of the Dongjiang Army, and sometimes not enough food, fighting against the Jianlu was really risking lives.
And from the fact that the Dongjiang Army still has the courage to fight, and the Dongjiang soldiers and civilians still support Mao Wenlong, it can be seen that Mao Wenlong is indeed not simple. If it were Guo Dajing, he would not dare to say that he had such ability and ability to win people's hearts.
According to Guo Dajing's thinking from later generations, if you want people to sacrifice their lives, you have to offer attractive benefits. If you work overtime, you still need overtime pay, let alone go into battle and fight hard?
Fame and profit should be the easiest things to think of. For ordinary soldiers, fame, let alone fame, is far less tangible than money, which is profit.
The military pay and food provided by the imperial court were obviously not enough to maintain the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town.
Charisma?!
It was hard for Guo Dajing to judge because he hadn't seen Mao Wenlong yet. Although he had a glimpse of the situation, he could see some clues from the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army.
After retracting his thoughts, Guo Dajing continued to explain the mines, "Black powder mines are not very powerful unless the charge is increased. But there are other ways, such as adding some sharp gravel to the mines...
"
According to the technical level at the time and the material situation of the Dongjiang Army, iron shell mines were relatively luxurious, and clay pot mines should be the easiest to make.
One characteristic of such crudely made landmines is that the fragments are very large and fly into the air whistling in the wind, which is quite scary. But like a grenade that explodes in half, it is difficult to cause a lot of damage.
Since it is impossible to create a mine with prefabricated fragments, auxiliary means must be used to make up for it. You can add some broken iron sharp stones to the mine, and covering the surface of the mine with gravel as Guo Dajing said is also a method.
Although it is not easy to kill the enemy at once, the probability of injury due to the dense flying stones is greatly increased.
If the head, face, and legs and feet that are not protected by armor are hit by gravel, they will definitely be injured.
The effect of having a bruised head, bleeding, lame legs and lameness is not bad, at least it will affect the wounded person's fighting ability. He might even get tetanus or something, and he will die.
In fact, Guo Dajing also knew about the manufacture of jumping mines and the laying methods of similar directional mines. He was just worried that others would not remember it if he talked too much, so he made reservations.
"Hehe, this move is quite cruel." Liu Qishi nodded repeatedly and said, "The gravel is flying everywhere, you can't even hide away."
After a pause, he looked at Guo Dajing and said: "The idea of this landmine came after picking up the tribulus pottery bombs on Longchuan City, right?"
I finally guessed it, you are such a good person, you are worthy of me calling you big brother.
Guo Dajing hurriedly nodded vigorously and said: "Exactly, exactly. You guessed it right. It's amazing, it's amazing."
Although he didn't stutter, he still spoke slowly, giving people the impression of a sloth. Of course, no one knew what a sloth was.
Liu Qishi looked at Guo Dajing a little strangely. Why did he feel that this guy was a little excited?
When someone sees through a secret, shouldn't they be surprised, or ask in confusion, "How did you know?"
Guo Dajing is in a good mood. He doesn't have to make it up himself. It's so easy to have someone come up with reasons and reasons.
In the next free time, Guo Dajing focused on re-explaining to Liu Qishi and Wang Guo, and made a lot of imaginative deductions based on the terrain along the route.
Where to bury mines and where to set trigger points can cause great damage to the enemy; for marching groups, is the effect of serial mines better? Although the pedal is simple and easy to make, the clip seems to be more sensitive and easier to bury, etc.
.
Guo Dajing intentionally said less and just guided intentionally or unintentionally. When all his subordinates participated, many ideas and methods emerged.
If these thirty people can always follow him, with constant indoctrination and training, they will be his most effective subordinates.
If they still want to return to their respective teams, they will be the sparks to popularize landmine tactics to the entire army in Dongjiang Town, igniting a prairie fire across the land of Liaodong.
Landmines are simple and easy to make and are known as "the poor man's weapon". They are quite suitable for the Dongjiang Army.
From the perspective of containment, harassment, and attack, landmines are also in opposition to the tactical principles of the Dongjiang Army. It does not matter how many people can be killed or injured at once. The continuous consumption will also be unbearable for the Jianlu.

After Huang Taiji received the report of victory from Amin and others, as well as a letter requesting that Mongolians be used to defend Yizhou, he readily agreed and immediately sent a thousand Mongolian soldiers to Yizhou.
At the same time, Huang Taiji wrote back to Amin, asking him to act accordingly, and emphasized that all affairs in North Korea were entrusted to Amin and other Zhubeile, and that he would not control them remotely, but could only act according to the results of discussions between Amin and others.
Under the surface of deep trust, Huang Taiji's intentions can be described as insidious. The outcome of the attack on North Korea will be entirely borne by Amin. If something goes wrong, it will naturally become a crime to suppress and punish Amin in the future.
But Amin has been dazzled by the long-term victory and the attempt to stand on his own in North Korea. He does not know that the strength of the blue flag under his command will determine his future destiny.
In fact, Huang Taiji's methods were not very clever, and he used them repeatedly. After plundering the capital and retreating, Amin was left alone to guard the four cities of Yongping, killing people with borrowed swords, or taking the opportunity to weaken his troops' strength.
The same is true for Mang Gurtai, one of the four beile. When besieging Dalinghe, Huang Taiji sent Zhenglan Banner to fight, causing Zhenglan Banner to suffer heavy losses.
When Mang Gurtai reported to Huang Taiji that the troops he led had suffered heavy losses, Huang Taiji deliberately accused his troops of being timid and angered Mang Gurtai. He impulsively made the big mistake of "showing his sword before the emperor" and became the subject of his punishment.
the main crime.
Struggles for power and profit, and political strife were not only chronic diseases of the Ming Dynasty, but also the establishment of captives. In order to gain power, it is not uncommon to suppress and purge.
