Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 663 First rule out the correct answer (please subscribe!)
A series of explosive bombs fell on the artillery position of the Green Battalion, bouncing on the hard ground in the northwest, blasting the artillery, artillery vehicles and even the artillery to pieces!
Sun Chengen's heart ached, he said it was luck, but his eyes were on the tall tower at the highest point of Yumen Pass!

But I was thinking in my heart: Is there a possibility that the artillerymen of Ming Dynasty are not so happy with artillery technology at all, which sentry tower they rely on to correct the direction of the artillery attack!
Absolutely impossible, such a tall sentry tower, at most, used semaphore or lights to indicate the presence of enemies, such as transmitting the direction of shelling, how could it be possible!
There is only one possibility left, that is, the enemy's artillery is too strong!
Sun Chengen first ruled out the correct answer.

Even if he knew the correct answer, it was useless, because the sentry tower was in the center of Yumen Pass, and by the time their artillery could blow up to the watchtower's distance, it would have been blasted to pieces by Daming's artillery.

As a last resort, Sun Chengen gave the order to retreat the artillery instead. He didn't want to lose all the precious artillery at Yumen Pass.

In just one day, Sun Chengen's green battalion artillery withered away. Instead, Luntai City continued to fire artillery, bombarding any enemy army with more than a hundred men within range.

As the most forward fortress facing the hinterland of Junggar, Yumen Pass reserves more than enough ammunition to supply a large battle, and they are not worried about running out of ammunition at all.

The most detrimental thing is that Junggar thought that if he took Yumen pass, he would be able to enter Daming. In fact, in addition to Yumen pass, there is a large circle of fortress lines around it.

They complement each other and form a comprehensive and complete defense matrix.

The Ming fortress line tactic was paired with an elite mobile main force. Under this tactic, the Sun family was faced with a strategic dilemma and had to be on guard against the elite Ming army's sneak attack at any time.

Now it can only attack Yumen Pass with all its strength, attracting the other party to rush to help, attack its laborers, and surround the spot to fight for help.

Of course, Sun Sike and Luocha's [-] troops will not wait here. He never thought that he would have to fight at Yumen Pass. Showing up at Yumen Pass is just to mobilize the main force of Ming Dynasty to go northward from Shaanxi or Qinghai. His real intention is to find opportunities on the way Annihilate the Ming army.

Good guy, Sun Sike wants to imitate Qing Taizu Nurhachi!
And these small fortresses are the key nodes that hinder Sun Sike's tactics, and after being destroyed, they can cover their own actions.

While surrounding Yumen Pass, Sun Sike also sent out a small group of troops to bypass Yumen Pass and prepare to take down some small fortresses!

Unexpectedly, the small fortress is only relative to Yumen Pass.

Thirty miles to the northeast and forty miles to the southeast of Yumen Pass, the two forts are also bastions. Although they are two sizes smaller, they still house hundreds of National Defense Force soldiers and dozens of artillery pieces.

The tall towers standing in the center of these fortresses are exactly the same as those of Yumen Pass, guiding the artillery to accurately disperse the quasi-Russian coalition forces trying to attack the city.

It's not easy to eat at all. To eat these fortresses is not something that can be done by hundreds or even thousands of people, at least an army of [-] people must be mobilized.

Ke Ke divides his forces like this, what if he is attacked by reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty?
Didn't he change from Nurhachi to Yang Hao!
From March 25th to April [-]st, Sun Sike was hesitating whether to fight, which one to fight, or both?

Daming, why is he so steady!
A small Gansu has actually set up such a defensive formation. If these things are placed in front of Shanhaiguan, the Manchurians will go to hell!

Oh, that's not right, the Manchurians were not captured at Shanhaiguan, but Wu Sangui let them in.

This shows that even the best defense lines and fortifications are useless if they are in the wrong hands.

On April [-]nd, Sun Sike finally made up his mind to dispatch an army of [-], plus [-] artillery pieces, to forcibly pull out a fortress in the north, so as to create a spacious rear depth for later intercepting the main force of the Ming army.

But as soon as the troops set off, a large number of Ming reinforcements appeared in the east, which surprised Sun Sike, they came so fast! ?

"Khan, it's the Sun Moon Flag and the Red Dragon Army Flag!"

The sentry cavalry responded in this way, and Sun Sike closed his eyes in pain: "This is the Ming Guards, they should have been in Qinghai!"

It turned out that Huang Qing didn't take the Fifth Town of the Guards to Qinghai, just to leave an elite army to face this situation.

Sun Sike cheered himself up and said, "The guards are nothing special. It's better for this new force to appear now than to show up halfway through our attack on the fortress."

Then he said with a smile: "No, this is an excellent opportunity for us to split up!"

The army that was about to turn to the north was pulled back, and the Junggars mobilized urgently, preparing to march east and confront the reinforcements that suddenly appeared in the east!

In this way, Sun Sike changed from Yang Gao to Nurhachi again!
Sixty miles to the east of Luntai City, in front of a fortress, the army is marching westward, billowing smoke and dust.

The temporary commander of the Fifth Town of the Guards, the newly promoted Imperial Major General Yu Qijun stepped on the battlements of the fortress, waiting for the staff to translate the telegram.

Seeing the sun and moon flags fluttering in the army, he was also full of ambition.

The person who surrendered to Zhao Liangdong with the Hexi Four Han Dynasty, has been transformed into a pillar of the empire because of his outstanding military talent.

From Sichuan to Shaanxi, and then to Gansu, he contributed a lot to the recovery of the western lands.

Huang Qing gave him enough trust to give him the temporary command of the Fifth Town of the Guards.

He also valued his prudence, with Yu Qijun holding an elite force in Gansu, Gansu has no worries!
Originally, they planned to attack Junggar in two ways after Qinghai was pacified, but they didn't expect Junggar to come to them first.

If the Junggars attack the fort line on a large scale, there will be a large force of the National Defense Army in the north to deal with it, and the fifth town of the Guards in the east.

Daming stuffed the field troops of the National Defense Forces into the fortress, and it was packed full. It was a bit extravagant, but this was only a temporary measure.

According to Zhu Kezang's plan, after the fortress line on the western front is fully formed, the army will move forward and approach Hami. At that time, with the fortress line behind, the Junggars will have no loopholes to take advantage of. big picture!

Hami, a place where the old Ming emperor haunted his dreams.

As one of the "Seven Guards of Kansai", since its establishment, Hami Guard has undertaken special responsibilities such as managing local affairs, welcoming and sending traffic envoys, and guarding the gates of the western frontier.

However, during the more than 90 years from the Zhengtong period to the Jiajing period, Hami was repeatedly harassed by surrounding tribes, the capital was captured many times, and the guard was forced to move to Kuyu City. It spread to Ganzhou and Suzhou, causing a major impact on the security and stability of the border areas, and also caused a major threat to the Central Plains Dynasty's rule of the Western Regions.

In the mid-Jiajing period, Xu Lun, who went to Beijing to inspect the military affairs of Xuan, Da, and Shanxi (Xu Lun's father, Xu Jin, led troops to recover Hami during the reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty), euphemistically criticized the imperial court for negotiating peace with Turpan and abandoning Hami.But Xu Lun also knew that it was not that simple to regain Hami.

The reasons he gave were: first, after a long period of see-saw in the Hami area, almost all the people who supported the Ming Dynasty had fled. Even if they regained it, it would be very difficult to stick to it for a long time; Thirdly, many tribes in the Kansai area were originally the vassal barriers of the Ming Dynasty, but now they are dilapidated and decayed. If the Ming Dynasty does not intend to restore these tribes, what is the return to Hami?

So far, Hami was abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, and no one in the court discussed the matter again.The failure of the Ming Dynasty’s Western Region policy led to the rise of Turpan and the loss of Hami. However, the rising Turpan unintentionally helped the Ming Dynasty resist the invasion of Oala and other forces in the west. Instead, Hami and Jiayuguan entered a relatively stable period. , I know it's not a blessing.

Now, as long as the new Ming Dynasty defeats Sun Sike's army, it will launch an operation to restore Hami!
