The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 317

Huang Long said: "That is, that is, as long as we fight the battle of Jinzhou well, there will be a lot of captures, and the rewards from the imperial court will definitely not be bad."

Fang Zhenghua said: "That's natural. If the reward from the imperial court is too small, our family will not accept it. Even if we go to meet with the Holy Son of Heaven to judge, we will give you what you deserve. Listen to more suggestions on how Jinzhou will fight our family next time." 'Red Banner Army'."

Shen Shikui said: "Dongjiang Town and the 'Red Banner Army' are still short of troops! Although there will be more troops coming from the islands of Dongjiang Town, the total number will not exceed [-]. In the early [-]s.

The 'Red Banner Army' seems to have about 5000 people, but in fact they have even fewer regular soldiers, not even five thousand, and half of them are children, and the rest are two to three thousand soldiers who are sent to the army for labor, and eight thousand On the left and right are the Han men who had just been recaptured from Fuzhou. "

Huang Long said: "I don't know that there is a shortage of troops, so I gathered the troops in Dongjiang Town early. Don't think that there are many slaves in Jinzhou City. There will not be more than [-] soldiers there.

Don't you see more than half of the old and young on the top of the city?Didn't you see many Han troops?Didn't you see that the women of Jiannu were helping to carry it? "

Shen Shikui said: "Three thousand Jiannu soldiers are quite a lot, when did the Ming Dynasty defeat the Jiannu army with three thousand soldiers and win?

Most of the old men and children who built slaves were able to shoot arrows, and their role in defending the city was not much different from that of a soldier.

Now the number of guards in Jinzhou is probably close to 5. It stands to reason that our army must have [-] horses to launch a siege battle.Besides, Jinzhou is still a strong city and a big city in southern Liaoning. It's not easy! "

This is true. The tragic Ming army fought against Jiannu from the Wanli year to the Tianqi year and then to the Chongzhen year. They really never killed more than [-] Jiannu soldiers in a single battle to win.

It is said that after the bloody battle in Hunhe, the Jin army suffered a lot of losses. The old slave gritted his teeth and defeated the last Qi family army led by Qi Jin, and repelled the white soldiers led by Qin Bangping and Ma Xianglin.

It can be seen that as long as there are many battles with many casualties, the Hou Jin army won, or the Jiannu took the initiative to leave the battlefield with little loss. The head of a slave is a rare commodity.

If the siege of Jinzhou is successful, it will undoubtedly be a precedent. The Ming army can publicize that the First World War wiped out more than [-] slaves, of which more than [-]% were in armor. Presumably, the Ming army, civilians, and officials will be encouraged at that time.

Shen Shikui's words were not pleasant to listen to, Fang Zhenghua smiled sadly, his voice was a bit scary, he asked Zheng Xiaowen who came to contact him: "Master Zheng, how long did it take for the 'Red Banner Army' to take down Fuzhou, and how much did they achieve?"

"Hui Gonggong, the Red Banner Army came to the city of Fuzhou on August [-]th, carried out a propaganda war on the second day, attacked the city on the third day, broke through the north gate of Fuzhou and entered the city in less than an hour, and took all of Fuzhou that afternoon. In the city, more than [-] Jiannu men were beheaded, and a small half of them were young and middle-aged men."

Fang Zhenghua glanced at the generals of Dongjiang Town and said, "It can be seen that the defenders of Fuzhou far exceeded [-]. Did the 'Red Banner Army' participate in the siege of the city with [-] troops? Our family just went to Funingwei by order at the end of July. Know the family background of the 'Red Banner Army'.

Their main soldiers will not exceed [-] in total, and they will deploy reinforcements and send people to stay behind at the landing point. It is estimated that the number of soldiers attacking the city will not exceed [-]. "

Zheng Xiaowen said: "That's true. The 'Red Banner Army' was too small to encircle Fuzhou City. They took the tactic of blocking the three gates and focusing on the north gate to seize the city. Therefore, they escaped from the slave-building general Nahai."

Li Ruolian laughed and said, "It's a lesson learned from the past, so the 'Red Banner Army' dug trenches as soon as they came to Jinzhou to ensure that Jiannu couldn't escape, right? Master Huang is not worried at all that Jinzhou City won't be captured!"

Zheng Xiaowen said confidently: "It will be a matter of time to destroy the city. Killing as many Jiannu as possible is the main purpose of the 'Red Banner Army'. Our general is different from Sun Dushi when he fights. Instead, do everything you can to beat those animals to death."

Huang Long was the general of the Ming army who participated in the attack on Luanzhou. At that time, he was a member of the general and was promoted to deputy general because of his contributions. Not long after, Sun Yuanhua, governor of Denglai, and Liang Tingdong, the Minister of War at the time, jointly recommended Huang Long as the general officer of Dongjiang Town.

Of course, he knew how Sun Chengzong arranged to fight Luanzhou, and he also knew that Huang Han's father-in-law had an unpleasant fight with Sun Dushi because of the meritorious service of the Luanzhou battle.

Seeing that the purpose of this arrangement was to wipe out the Jiannu population, Huang Long said: "I agree with this tactic. Only by killing a large number of Jiannu population can we gradually weaken them."

Jin Sheng asked: "With our current strength, there shouldn't be any major problems in winning the Golden State. The key is when the slave-building reinforcements will show up. If it is the time when the offensive and defensive battles are in full swing, our army will encounter trouble with the cavalry raids of the slave-building reinforcements. It's big."

Zheng Xiaowen explained: "Lord Jin, there is no need to worry too much. Our army has already set up many observation posts. If there is a large group of Jiannu cavalry approaching, they will definitely find out in advance. It is absolutely impossible to be caught by surprise by Jiannu."

Fang Zhenghua also said: "My lords, please rest assured. General Huang uses his troops cautiously. He always catches the enemy by surprise. He will definitely not put himself in danger."

Li Ruolian smiled and said: "General Huang has already sent someone to contact him. He is on his way to the camp. All the generals of the 'Red Banner Army' invite everyone to drink and enjoy the moon tonight to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

All the generals applauded loudly, and they all looked forward to having a few drinks with the generals of the "Red Banner Army" in the evening.

After leaving Fuzhou, Huang Han did not go south to Jinzhou by land. He inspected the Wanghaidun camp that was about to be abandoned, and then went south by boat to the port of "Wolf's Nest". He landed and changed horses to Jinzhou.

The "Wolf's Nest Fort" to be built is [-] steps square, with an area of ​​less than [-] square kilometers, which is about the same size as Yangguan Fort, and the west side is close to the sea.

A large number of bricks, stones, and wood demolished from Fuzhou City have been shipped to Langwo Port. Yangguan Fort has been razed to the ground at this time, and the ready-made stones are also transported to a wharf less than ten miles away. shipment.

There were originally several piers along the coast of Fuzhou that were stationed by the Hou Jin Army. Because of the menacing "Red Banner Army", Jiannu did not dare to stay in the piers to die, so he hurriedly abandoned the piers and fled.

Due to the highest efficiency of sea transportation in modern times, all the discovered seaside piers are now the source of infrastructure materials for the "Wolf's Nest Castle" as long as they are built with huge stones. Go to the port of Wolf's Den.

With cement, steel bars, ready-made masonry and timber, and tens of thousands of men and women working together, the speed of building this small fortress is very fast, and it is estimated that it will definitely be completed before the frost period comes.
