Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 22
It may be that the Jin people were too exploitative, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were very enthusiastic about joining the army, especially when they heard that joining the Liaoying camp not only paid the military salary on time every month, but also distributed Western muskets. After the general retreat, many young and strong townspeople in villages and towns chose to temporarily join the Fu Liao camp to fight against the Jinren.Before the fight with Jin Bing, Chu Yun's fourth brigade had recruited more than 500 people, more people than any infantry brigade under Chu Yun's command.After screening, Chu Yun only left 300 people to form an independent infantry brigade, and Mrs. Yang was in charge of the drill for the time being.

The training time for the independent infantry brigade was only a few days, and Mrs. Yang simply taught them how to operate the musket and reminded them to remember the "military order like a mountain".This is the advantage of muskets. They can go on the battlefield without long-term training like bows and arrows. The steps required are loading, aiming, and firing.

In this way, Chu Yun had nearly four gun brigades and one artillery squadron with nearly 500 people in Wanghai Fort, plus hundreds of civilians who helped build the city and defend the city, nearly 2000 people.The number of people has doubled, giving Chu Yun more confidence.

"Place shotguns at each simple fort, and prepare rocks, cotton, and gunpowder." Chu Yun directed the soldiers and civilians to transport supplies to the city wall.

These materials were continuously transported from Guanglu Island. There were as many as 1000 shotgun shells and more than [-] muskets for artillery alone.Guanglu Island can produce so many strategic materials, thanks to the support from Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asian countries. Every time a firearm is sold, Chu Yun can manufacture several more firearms. How cool it is .

The construction of the fortifications was proceeding in a busy and orderly manner, and Mangergutai's Eight Banners soldiers, who Chu Yun had been following day and night, finally arrived two days later.

"The Eight Banners Soldiers are here!"

The rangers wandering around the Fort Wanghai were the first to discover the golden soldiers attacking Fort Wanghai.

Hearing the news that the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners were about to arrive, the Ming soldiers and peasants in the city stepped up to the wall one after another and looked westward.In addition to Xiangyong who stayed to help defend the city and Xiangyong who joined the independent brigade, other women, children and the elderly were also arranged by Chu Yun inside the fortress.It's not that Chu Yun didn't want to let them go, but that Hou Jin liked to drive away innocent people around him as cannon fodder when he attacked the city.In case these women, children and the elderly are removed from the fortress, they are likely to be arrested by the golden soldiers.

Standing on tiptoe, Chu Yun looked far away, and saw first a light black line appeared on the distant horizon, and then the black line changed from thin to thick, and the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners all over the mountains and plains could barely reach them.The blue flag is unfurling, thousands of troops are in high spirits, this is the most beautiful moment of the Eight Banners!
The Eight Banners soldiers are different from all the golden soldiers they have seen before. This is an army that has truly experienced the baptism of countless wars, the best of the best!Of course, this is only the elite of the cold weapon army, and it is far behind his own musketeer team.At least Chu Yun thought so.

"A lot of people...there are thousands of golden soldiers, can we beat them..."

"Damn dog thieves, we will fight them!"

Xiangyong at the top of the city chattered nervously, feeling uneasy.

In fact, it wasn't just Xiangyong who was nervous, the soldiers of Chu Yun's three firearms brigade were also worried.Many of them were later recruited to the Fuliao camp and had no actual combat experience, and they had to face Houjin's main force for the first time on the battlefield.

"Everyone, please don't be nervous. Under the city are elite soldiers of the Eight Banners who are known as 'many ten thousand are invincible', but I am not afraid of them at all. Why?" Chu Yun tried to calm everyone's emotions, "You know the great victory in Ningyuan last year, right? The gold thief The first Nurhachi claimed that a 13 army attacked Ningyuan, and the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners almost swarmed up, but the result? Master Yuan easily repelled their 13 army attack with artillery. Today we also have artillery in Wanghaibao. They are all on our side, why should we be afraid of thousands of people under the city?"

Chu Yun patted a 12-pound British artillery placed on the top of the city heavily.This stout artillery gives people an inexplicable sense of security.

"That's right, we have big general guns, and we also have western muskets, why should we be afraid of the golden soldiers!"

"When the golden soldiers come over, we will teach them a lesson with artillery!"

Hearing Chu Yun's words, these civilian husbands and soldiers nodded their heads one after another, and their hearts that were originally suspended also fell.

Mang Ergutai saw Wanghai Fort near the sea. This fort, which was originally used to monitor the Ming army in Dongjiang Town, has been occupied by the Ming army at this moment, and it has also been reinforced by the Ming army layer by layer.

But he didn't think that Wanghai Fort was too difficult to capture, after all, this was not the Guanning line of defense.

Goryeo had tens of thousands of troops and dozens of fortified cities, and they were still being tortured to death by [-] Jin soldiers, not to mention there seemed to be only a thousand Ming troops here.

"Stop advancing, set up camp on the spot, and start attacking the city after the ladders and chariots are ready." Mang Ergutai issued an order.

"According to our intelligence, the Ming army on the opposite side may use a new type of Western musket, which is extremely powerful. Lord Belle, please be careful."

Li Sutai, the second son of the guard of Jinzhou, followed Mang Ergutai on the expedition, approaching Wanghai Fort, and kindly reminded Mang Ergutai.

"Ben Belle has been following the Taizu since he was a child, and has fought more than a hundred battles with the Ming army. He has seen a lot of Ming army muskets. It's that kind of broken stuff, it's not as easy to use as the bows and arrows of our grassland warriors." Mang Ergutai patted A hornbow in his own saddle.

"Master Baylor must not underestimate the enemy. My third younger brother died under the stray bullets of the Ming army because he underestimated the enemy..." Li Shutai said worriedly.

"Enough! After the chariot is ready, you lead the Han soldiers to attack the city first." Mang Ergutai shouted.

Seeing Sanbeile, Mang Ergutai, one of the most powerful figures in the later Jin Dynasty, Li Sutai didn't dare to resist, so he had to agree: "My subordinates obey..."

The army of 7000 people is really mighty. Just looking at it from the top of the fortress, all the places you can see are golden soldiers.The golden soldiers in charge of making siege equipment scattered, causing the surrounding woods to suffer.Jin Bing's chariot is made of thick wood covered with cowhide and iron, and it is one of the sharp weapons used by Jin Bing to attack the city.Soon Jin Bing built thirty or forty caravans, hundreds of simple ladders and ladders.

"The whole army is on standby!"

Li Sutai was responsible for leading the first batch of Han troops to attack the city.Under his command, thousands of infantry and archers were at the forefront of the array under the cover of chariots and large shields.Due to the dangerous terrain of Wanghai Fort, it is impossible for thousands of soldiers to attack at the same time, so these soldiers have to divide into several waves of attack, with an interval of 200 meters to 300 meters between each wave, hitting Wanghai Fort like waves.

come quickly.Chu Yun stood at the head of the city and couldn't wait any longer.In the eyes of Jin Bing, Chu Yun and the others are fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, but in the eyes of Chu Yun, these Jin soldiers are full of points of civilization.
