Chapter 845 Ajige said that it feels so uncomfortable to wait for death...

(0845)

【Today's third update is delivered!】

Liaodong, Yizhou Wei.

Yizhou Wei (now Yi County, Liaoning Province) is located in the north of Jinzhou and the southwest of Guangning City. It has always been known as the important roads in western Liaoning. It has been a place that military strategists have been competing for since ancient times. This is the main road connecting Liaodong and Mongolian grasslands. The merchants and traveling between Mongolian grasslands and Liaodong basically have to pass here. Needless to say, the battle between the Ming army and the Tartars. The first shot of the Liaochen Battle was also fired here. General Zhu Rui also died here.

The people responsible for guarding the Yizhou Guards were mainly Mongolian cavalry, and the number of Tartars was very small. According to information, around the Yizhou Guards, there were a total of 5,000 Mongolian cavalry, 900 Tartar cavalry, and more than 10,000 rebels in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of the number of soldiers, it is not too large. However, the quality of them is hard to say. Especially those rebels, I am afraid that the Tartars themselves will not feel at ease.

Huang Taiji's defeat in Northern Zhili was the most affected by these rebels. The reason why the rebels became rebels was that they did not want to die or die at the hands of the Great Jin army. They surrendered to the Great Jin army to continue to live and continue to enjoy wealth and glory. At the beginning, their goals seemed to be able to be achieved.

However, the appearance of the Hu Ben Army woke up all the dreams of these rebels. They suddenly became people who stepped on the cliff of death. The Hu Ben Army would certainly not let them go if they wanted to destroy the Jin army. Even the imperial court had a very tough attitude. After killing Kong Youde, they issued orders to resolutely settle the crimes of every rebel general, and ordinary soldiers would be punished.

Because there are too many rebels in the Liaodong area and it is impossible to kill them, Zhang Zhun had to publicly announce that he would only punish the main culprits, and those who threaten the followers would not be investigated. Since he did not even pursue the followers, the soldiers below would not be investigated. After this announcement was issued, the feelings of the rebels in Liaodong could be imagined. Except for a few main leaders, it was impossible for others to continue to work wholeheartedly for the Tartars.

After solving the rebel problem in Liaodong, the second thing the Hu Ben Army had to consider was to eliminate all kinds of big and small bunkers. In the western Liaoning area, there were fortresses everywhere. There were large and small castles guards around every important town, and the same was true for the Yizhou Guard. These fortresses were built to block the movement of the Tatar cavalry. Now, these fortresses have become obstacles to the attack of the Hu Ben Army.

To attack Yizhou Guards, we must first attack the three fortresses Kaishantun, Tuanshan Fort and Dading Fort. Information shows that the total defenders of these three fortresses exceeded 2,000. Although the main force is the rebels, there are also a few Tartars supervising the war. Therefore, it is probably not easy to persuade surrender, and it is estimated that they have to rely on combat to resolve the situation in the end.

On August 16, the 9th year of Chongzhen, the Qinglong Army of the Huben Army, which had just passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, went north from Jinzhou to prepare to attack the Yizhou Guards. In order to cover the Qinglong Army's actions, the three cavalry battalions of the Huben Army also set off from Daling River Fort and marched towards Guangning City in a mighty way to maintain the huge pressure on the Tartars.

...

"well!"

Ajige sighed helplessly, and the weak ******* his temple felt that his mind was too chaotic. He wanted to make his consciousness as clear as possible to help him think about more problems. As a result, after some hard work, he found that his consciousness became even more blurred.

*******The temple movement was learned from the Han people. Ajige started to appear on the battlefield at the age of thirteen and became active at the age of fifteen. From birth to now, Ajige has never felt such a difficult situation. Even when he failed in Dongjiabao, the situation was not so bad.

Dongjiabao's defeat occurred when he was completely unprepared. When he reacted, the consequences had already been caused. He had no other thoughts except pain. But now it is different. Now it is a process of waiting for death. Ajige is not afraid of death, but this process of waiting for death is indeed too painful.

In fact, Ajige knew as soon as the Hu Ben Army was dispatched. Ajige knew everything clearly about the composition of the Hu Ben Army's military force, command system, who the commander was, and where the logistics line was. However, so what if he knew? Even if he knew clearly what Zhang Zhun was wearing, so what if?

The Hu Ben Army's military operation this time was obviously not afraid that he would know, and it might even be specially for him to see. Yes, it was specially for him to see. The Hu Ben Army wanted to show off his power and be domineering. However, Ajige had no choice but to be secretly angry. He was not as strong as others, and he could only swallow his teeth with blood. This was what the ancients said to have died early in the morning. Today's Hu Ben Army is obviously bullying the Jin army's strength!

Look, a Green Dragon Legion, plus powerful artillery, has a total of 5,000 people. It would be a headache to deal with these 5,000 people alone. If it were only 5,000 infantry, Ajige might also consider dispatching cavalry and challenging the opponent without fear of death. Even if he could not completely slaughter the opponent's infantry, he would disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm.

However, when he heard that there were more than 100 field artillery among these five thousand enemy troops, Ajige decisively canceled his decision. Simple infantry is not scary, but once the infantry and artillery are combined, it is very scary. Ajige is not stupid enough to knock the few living forces of the Great Jin army into the gun mouth of the Hu Ben army. In Northern Zhili, the Great Jin army was indeed afraid of being beaten by the Tiger Army's cannons.

However, the most deadly thing is actually not the artillery of the Hu Ben Army, but the cavalry of the Hu Ben Army! According to intelligence, the Hu Ben Army has at least three cavalry battalions and participated in this military operation! The total strength of the three cavalry battalions is 5,000 cavalry! And the Great Jin army cavalry in Guangning City is only 5,000!

In other words, the number of cavalry on both sides is almost equal. If they encounter it in the wild, Ajige dared not predict what the outcome would be. What will the five thousand Jin cavalry, against the five thousand Hu Ben cavalry, Ajige dared not predict, nor could he predict it. Anyway, the three thousand Jin cavalry led by Abatai encountered the Tiger Army in the wild, but was eaten by the five thousand Hu Ben cavalry.

Even if Ajige is slightly better than Abatai, the results of the battle should not change much. As long as the two sides fight, his five thousand cavalry will be completely ruined. Some of the Hu Ben Army has personnel replenished, and lost 5,000. In a very short time, it may be replenished, but the Jin army cannot. Therefore, Ajige dared not take this risk at all.

With five thousand infantry, artillery, and five thousand cavalry, Ajige couldn't imagine that he could stop the fierce offensive of the Hu Ben Army. Looking at the location of the Yizhou Guard on the map, Ajige felt that he was ten big in one head. This kind of pure passive feeling of being beaten is so fucking uncomfortable! I really don't know how the Ming army in the past survived.

"Zu Dabing!"

Azig suddenly shouted.

"Master Bell, what are your instructions?"

Zu Dashou was in the room next door and came over immediately after hearing this.

"Zhang Zhun is here, do you have any good suggestions?"

Azig pointed to the location of Yizhou Guard on the map and frowned.

"Master Beile, let's give up Yizhouwei."

Zu Dashou said helplessly.

"Abandon the Yizhou Guard, the Hu Ben Army will all be suppressed to Guangning City. At that time, we will give up Guangning City. If we give up Guangning City, the Hu Ben Army will all be suppressed to Liaoyang? Could it be that we will give up Liaoyang? In the end, even Shenyang will give up?"

Ajig frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

"Master Beile, if you are unwilling to give up the Yizhou Guard, you can only order the local defenders to fight to the last one. The Hu Ben Army can be killed as many as the Hu Ben Army can be killed. The longer it can be dragged on."

Zu Dashou could only say bitterly.

In fact, he was as painful as Ajige. He was even more painful than Ajige. Because he was a rebel! Zhang Zhun's announcement clearly stated that his Zu Dashou was absolutely unforgivable. The court's announcement also contained the name of Zu Dashou. Emperor Chongzhen was also very annoyed about Zu Dashou's defection. What Emperor Chongzhen hated the most was those who deceived him, but Zu Dashou had been deceiving him.

In other words, once the Jin army was defeated, even if his Zu Dashou flew to the sky and escaped, he would not have the possibility of survival. He could not surrender to the Hu Ben Army because Zhang Zhun would take his life. Similarly, he could not surrender to the court, because the court would also take his life. The sky is great and the earth is great, and there is no place for his Zu Dashou to go. Now Zu Dashou is more depressed than Ajige, and he is truly waiting for death!

"well!"

Azig sighed again.

Zu Dashou's suggestion was of no use at all, it was just a lingering life before his death. However, could he blame Zu Dashou for being incompetent? Of course not! For the Dajin Kingdom, Zu Dashou was already friends enough. At this time, Zu Dashou had not left the Dajin Kingdom and escaped, and the entire Dajin Kingdom would not be dissatisfied with his Zu Dashou.

In fact, Ajige was just complaining about Zu Dashou. The battle in western Liaoning was mainly due to Ajige. It was because he was unable to fight against the attack of the Hu Ben Army, which was because he was not capable of Ajige. In fact, it was really uncomfortable to be suppressed by the Hu Ben Army like this. Ajige really wanted to double his troops and then go to Zhang Zhun with great momentum. Unfortunately, he didn't. Since he didn't, he had to be passively beaten.

It is definitely not possible to give up Yizhou Guard. Once the Great Jin Kingdom abandons Yizhou Guard, Zhang Zhun will take the opportunity to suppress it and surround Guangning City. The battle to Guangning City will start in advance. This is very unfavorable for the Great Jin Kingdom, which wants to win every minute of time. He must use the Yizhou Guard to delay the attack time of the Hu Ben Army as much as possible. As long as there is enough time, perhaps Huang Taiji can think of any way to go against the will of heaven.

Moreover, after giving up the Yizhou Guard, there was a serious consequence, that is, the Mongols didn't know what they would think. After all, the main force stationed in the Yizhou Guard was the people of the Mongolqin tribe. Their purpose of stationing in the Yizhou Guard was to protect the *** troops of the Korqin tribe and prevent the Hu Ben Army from entering the Mongolian prairie from the Yizhou Guard. If there was no Yizhou Guard, the Mongols might have to retreat back to the prairie.

For the present, the only way is to delay. Only rely on the Yizhou Guard and the surrounding fortresses to hold back the attack rhythm of the Hu Ben Army as much as possible, cause casualties to the Hu Ben Army as much as possible, and then expect a major change in the situation. Huang Taiji has sent someone to report to Ajige, and the Jin Kingdom has sent people to contact Zheng Zhilong, hoping that Zheng Zhilong will work hard to harass Zhang Zhun's rear.

If Zheng Zhilong was willing to form an alliance with the Great Jin Kingdom and sent troops to continuously harass the rear of the Hu Ben Army, Ajige believed that the pressure in the Liaodong direction should be reduced. Zhang Zhun's core hinterland was on the coast of Shandong. If Zheng Zhilong was attacked, Zhang Zhun would inevitably focus on his own safety.

However, Ajige is not as optimistic as Huang Taiji. After all, even if Zheng Zhilong attacked Zhang Zhun, it was still from the sea. The power of the Hu Ben Army at the sea was still quite powerful. It would be not easy to withdraw the Hu Ben Army at once. Besides, Zheng Zhilong himself is also a lot of opponents. Can he free up all his troops to deal with Zhang Zhun? I'm afraid it's very unlucky. Therefore, in general, the situation in western Liaoning still has to rely on the efforts of the Great Jin Kingdom itself.

"Tell Kara, be sure to guard the Yizhou Guards!"

"No one is allowed to retreat without my written order!"

"If there is an emergency, you can deal with it on the spot! For the shaken elements, there is no mercy!"

Ajige pondered for a moment and decisively issued a series of orders.

Kara was his confidant, and Ajige believed in Kara's death battle. These orders were equivalent to sentenceing all the defenders of the Yizhou Guard to death. They either died at the hands of the Hu Ben Army or at the hands of the Dajin Army.

...

Kaizhoutun Front.

When he learned that the Hu Ben Army had arrived, the defenders of Kaizhou Tun had already gathered together and were preparing to defend Kaizhou Tun. From a distance from Qianlijing, he could only see that the defenders were huddling behind the battlements, revealing only a small half of their heads, secretly observing the movements outside. Occasionally, one or two Tartars could be seen moving.

"artillery!"

Jerry Yang shouted loudly.

"arrive!"

The battalion commander of the artillery battalion, Mo Ru, hurriedly answered.

"Look at you!"

Jerry Yang shouted loudly.

"good!"

Mo Ru's loud answer.

"Brothers!"

"Prepare for shelling!"

Mo Ru announced loudly.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion immediately took action and aimed the muzzle at the city wall of Kaizhoutun.

After the large number of troops of the Thunder Cannons were equipped with the troops, the heavy artillery battalion led by Mo Ru had been disbanded, and all the red-clothed cannons were handed over to the navy for use. The artillery battalion led by Mo Ru was numbered as the Fourth Artillery Battalion of the Tiger Ben Army, which was specially equipped to fight the Qinglong Legion.

Because it is a special field legion and requires a large amount of artillery fire to strengthen, Mo Ru's artillery battalion is more powerful than other artillery battalions. Mo Ru's artillery battalion has a total of five artillery associations and twenty-five artillery companies. Each artillery company is equipped with five thunderbolt cannons, which is a total of one hundred and twenty-five field cannons.

"fire!"

Mo Ru waved his hand vigorously.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"

In an instant, the fierce sound of cannons vibrated the entire field.

One after another, the shells roared away and landed on the walls of Kaizhoutun, causing dirt to splash and stones to fly across, as if an earthquake occurred. The rebels hiding behind the battlements were beaten by the shells and cried to their parents, and they all escaped behind. The Tartars, who were military supervisors, wanted to stop them, but they could not stop them.

The Thunderbolt Cannon fires a solid bullet with a caliber of 120 mm, which is much more powerful than a flying dragon cannon. At close range, its power is no less than that of a red-clothed cannon. Ordinary battlements cannot resist the bombardment of solid bullets at all. Once a solid bullet passes, the battlements are often broken. People hiding behind the battlements will naturally be either dead or injured.

"Good fight!"

Wang Shide screamed excitedly.

The angle he observed was different from Zhang Zhun. The angle he observed was the movements of the enemy. The more embarrassed the enemy was, the happier he was. It would be better to have a series of shells over and kill all the enemies, that would be the best.

For Zhang Zhun, what he observed was the firepower organization, accuracy, firing speed, etc. of the artillery. It is impossible to compete for a place in the future world without a powerful running army. Infantry, artillery, and cavalry, combined with each other, a powerful army can be forged. This is how Napoleon's army was forged.

Judging from the artillery attacks just now, Mo Ru's artillery battalion is still a bit immature and has problems in many aspects. A mature artillery team will not have these problems. However, these are normal. After all, the Mo Ru's artillery battalion is very organized, and it is unlikely to be trained in one go. Only by constantly improving oneself in actual combat. Fortunately, the artillery will not be lonely during the entire process of regaining Liaodong.

The main ones stationed in Kaizhou were the Ming rebels. Their combat effectiveness was not because of the Hu Ben Army's despise them. They really didn't believe that they could stop the Hu Ben Army's advancement. The reason why they did not dare to surrender was because of Ajige's death order. If there were no Tartars who supervised the army, they would have opened the door to surrender long ago.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the infantry blasting team quickly stepped forward. After a moment, with a loud rumbling sound, the city gate was blown open. The tide-like Tiger Ben Army soldiers took the opportunity to rush up and rushed into Kaizhou Tun.

"Done!"

Wang Shide put down the Qianli Mile Mile and waved his hands vigorously.

The artillery battalion did extraordinary things and easily destroyed the rebels in Kaizhoutun. Since the Huben Army launched an attack, the defenders in Kaizhoutun had no chance to fight back. Kaizhoutun itself also had artillery, but was suppressed by the artillery fire of the Huben Army and did not even have the chance to fire. Such a battle was indeed too satisfying.
