Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 273 Is this going to be a protracted war?
Liu Hongjian's first offensive and defensive battle in Shanhaiguan came to an anticlimactic end.

The Musketeers of the Shenji Battalion were just as addicted as Qianhusuo. Under the leadership of Liu Hongjian, from the beginning of the formation of the army, the Musketeers hardly encountered too difficult a battle.

So much so that many Musketeers thought that the Eight Banners soldiers were nothing more than that. Finally, under the joint suppression of Liu Hongjian and Lin He, the unhealthy trend of arrogance was corrected.

This made the frontier generals behind Huang Degong sigh unceasingly. They defended the city tremblingly but failed to gain an inch. Looking at the momentum of the supervisor, I would dare to think that the supervisor himself was in command.

It is estimated that there will be singing and dancing all the way to Jianlu's hometown!Several frontier generals thought maliciously.

"Old Huang, why do you think Jianlu suddenly retreated? Could it be that he was shocked by this Marquis' arrogance?" Liu Hongjian danced his golden armor in front of the soldiers, causing the surrounding soldiers to burst into laughter.

After getting along with each other for a day, these frontier soldiers found that Master Superintendent was easier to talk to than Governor Huang, and would make jokes from time to time.

Liu Hongjian greeted Huang Degong. While talking, he took off his armor with Huang Degong's help. After wearing the armor for a whole morning, he felt very tired after the addiction.

"Master Hou, the sect is also strange! Looking at today's situation, the sect thought that Jianlu was impatient! Unexpectedly, it was just a bluff!

However, according to statistics from the generals just now, [-] Tartar soldiers were killed in today's battle alone, which is more than the sum of the previous few days! "

Huang Degong is also in a good mood. He has been bombarded by Jianlu for several days, and he is already depressed. This can be regarded as venting part of his hatred.

Although most of the achievements came from the musketeers of the Beijing camp, but no matter what, the morale of the frontier army was activated again.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jin Yiwei outside the pass sent information, and white sails were hung in the Jianlu camp.

Huang Degong guessed that a general in the Jianlu army must have died, and he was at least above the level of the county king, otherwise this behavior would not have been possible.

However, there are too many princes and county kings in the Jianlu army, and Huang Degong couldn't guess which one it was.

It might not be Daishan, although he hoped that it was this guy who died, but this guy has always been in good health.

Huang Degong also thought that this might be Jianlu's treacherous trick. Was Jianlu deliberately showing weakness to the enemy and luring them out of the customs?

It is impossible to exit the customs, even if you are killed, you will not get out!
As far as your twists and turns are learned from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms here, you still want to lie to me?I have read that Romance of the Three Kingdoms too!

If he knew that Lao Huang was so full of inner drama, Liu Hongjian would probably give Lao Huang a fried chestnut.

Liu Hongjian was also very puzzled at first, but after listening to Lao Huang's explanation, he suddenly realized that the Jianlu general who died in battle.

I'm afraid it wasn't the silver-armored general that Tianbao sniped today!

It seems that giving Tianbao three times the military salary is a bit of a shame!Liu Hongjian rubbed the shoulders that were sore from the golden armor.

Well, give him four times the salary later, no more!

This kid has reached his age, maybe he can introduce a wife to him!

Well, go back and talk to Xueer and the others.

In addition, Jin Yiwei also mentioned that a wave of Jianlu cavalry has been rushing westward.

It's not hard to guess, even Niu Da Bangchui knows why.

This Shanhaiguan is currently the easternmost part of Daming Border Town, and Jianlu can't beat Shanhaiguan, probably because of a strategic shift!

"Well, this is a problem, Lao Huang! From the current point of view, it is possible that this war will become a protracted one." Liu Hongjian frowned and judged.

Jianlu's westward journey was nothing more than lengthening the front line, taking advantage of their weakness of insufficient troops, and gathering the main force to attack other passes to seek breakthroughs.

But I’m not a vegetarian for letting out a large number of Jinyiwei outside the pass. Wherever you go, I’ll send musketeers to follow you.

Where is it different from defending the Great Wall?Where do you go to get shot differently?
But that won't work!Still too passive!Really, which pass has gone wrong, and a mistake will cause eternal hatred!
"My lord, the entire northern border gate has deployed troops under the gate. Although the number of people varies, basically if there is a war, the garrisons at the surrounding gates can quickly go to support it!"

Without Liu Hongjian's explanation, Huang Degong also roughly understood Jianlu's intentions, but out of the thinking of a traditional general, in the case of insufficient troops, doing so was already the safest arrangement.

But this is not enough!

Jianlu can fail ten times, as long as one pass goes wrong, it will be considered a profit.

As for them, even if they succeed nine times, as long as they fail once, they will lose everything.

"My lord, a group of carriages came from outside the city, and they said they came from the ordnance station!" A soldier came to report.

"Oh? Uncle Song finally brought supplies for me!" Liu Hongjian slapped the table happily.

Liu Hongjian personally welcomed the convoy into the city of Shanhaiguan, there were more than a dozen vehicles.

The person in charge of the escort was a thousand households of the Jingying soldiers, and it seemed that the thousand households were already very tired.

Liu Hongjian sent the group to dinner, and with a yell, Lin He, the red trousers general of the Shenji Camp, rushed towards the supplies with a groan, and paper shells came.

When starting from the capital, each musketeer only carried two rows of fixed-load ammunition with him. After a few battles, they had already consumed seven or eighty-eight.

Even today's city defense battle is counting bullets to live, now it's better, and it can be waved again.

For this supply, in addition to eight truckloads of custom-packed paper shell ammunition, the ordnance station also had [-] newly produced flintlock guns, which made several frontier soldiers who came with Huang Degong gear up!

They have seen the power of this thing. If the Master Supervisor can give himself these muskets, wouldn't they be able to...

The generals of the frontier army began to wink at Liu Hongjian, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Don't even think about it, just give this batch of muskets to the new army in Shanhaiguan. The muskets are easy to train and can form combat power within half a month. They can supplement the defensive strength of the frontier army!
As for the training mission of the new army, General Lin He, you can choose ten good shooters from the Shenji Battalion to supervise them. "

"Yes, Lord Hou!" Lin He replied.

"You don't have to be discouraged, muskets will be sent to our border in a steady stream. I promise you that within a year, all our border soldiers will use the most advanced muskets!"

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of the frontier men, Liu Hongjian couldn't bear it.

But good steel must be used wisely. Frontier soldiers are used to swords, spears and crossbows, and their ability to learn new things is definitely not as good as a blank sheet of recruits.

Moreover, in the current situation, swords and spears are still the main theme, and all changes will take time.

"Old Huang, do we have ships in Shanhaiguan?" Liu Hongjian suddenly asked Huang Degong beside him.

　Thanks to the book friends who are drunk and look at the ax, XiangLay rewarded 100 coins, and thank you friends who voted.
