Beiyang new warlord

"So, the general will obey!"

Liaoxi is known as the Corridor, and Jinzhou is the gate of the Corridor. It is not unreasonable to call it the Bohai Sea in the east and the Songling Mountains in the west. The narrowest place is only eight kilometers away. Jinzhou is blocked at this narrow mouth, and the Daling River The city is more like a door lock, relying on the Daling River. If you stand here, you can form a horn here. Once Jiannu attacks the Liaoxi Corridor, you will be stuck between the Daling River in Jinzhou. Within a narrow distance of twenty or thirty miles, on the one hand, it is blocked by the river behind it, and on the other hand, it is also attacked by the Daling River and Jinzhou City on both sides.

The problem is that it has to stand still. These court officials really have no coordination in their work. Daling River is surrounded, Jinzhou is not even prepared, and precious opportunities are wasted. Follow Wu Xiang and Song Wei's army , Mao Jue climbed westward to the Dumen Peak of Songling Mountain.

As far as knowing that a telescope is two concave lenses plus one piece, as for the optical principle, Mao Jue really doesn’t understand, it’s like Hitler learning, everything is made bigger, a bronze telescope is about to catch up with the small gun barrel, I found it A flat stone cliff was placed on it, and Mao Jue immediately covered his head with a headache when he looked down at it for the first time.

This battle is out of the question!

Dig trenches from the vicinity of the Daling River. Six trenches were dug on the third floor and the outer three floors of the Houjin Army. Hidden in it, in the innermost part, the battlements of Daling River City were not even repaired. The defenders were trembling and could only hold wooden planks in front to block arrows. Looking outside, Jinzhou reinforcements had already arrived at the southeast position of Daling River. Compared with the huge post-Golden army position, Wu Xiang Song Dawei's army is as small as a big donut and a small cockroach.

And standing on the top of the mountain, Mao Jue also saw something that frightened him, the dark and heavy red barbarian cannons, a total of 24! Ambushed in the gap near the south gate.

The consequences of Yuan Chonghuan’s introduction of Western cannons to consolidate the city’s defenses are revealed here. In the much-vaunted defense of Ningyuan, Juehua Island, where the Ming army garrisoned grain, was breached, 20 shi of grain was burned, and there was a road filled with red barbarians. The cannon's warship was sunk, just like our army desperately dragged back the Soviet T-62 tank in the Battle of Zhenbao Island. Huang Taiji also wanted to drag this iron bump back when he ran out of food. Now it has been imitated. .

Originally, the Ming army's biggest advantage over the Jiannu Eight Banners was firearms and giant cities. Now that Jiannu also has giant cannons that can fight for more than ten miles, how can they fight battles?

Without an army of 12 to [-], it would be impossible to save them. Now Dalinghe City can be regarded as a dead city.Moreover, Jiannu's plot is not small. Through the telescope, Mao Jue clearly saw Wu Sangui stepping forward to challenge, and the Jinzhou army was under artillery fire. However, Jiannu didn't order to fire, and only dispatched about [-] regular soldiers. The white flag soldiers and horses went to fight.

There are many infantry in Wu Xiang's department, and there are also a lot of firearms. This kind of army is Jiannu's favorite meal. Cannons disrupt the formation, and the Eight Banners cavalry charge. The possibility of Wu Xiang's entire army being wiped out is simply three fingers. Yes, but at this moment, they were evenly matched, even carrying a machete, like Wu Sangui and Zhao Zilong possessed, and actually killed three in and three out in the Eight Banners Army. illusion.

Putting down the binoculars, Mao Jue rubbed his forehead with a sigh.He said he would not come, but he watched the Liaodong army and Jiannu fight. Mao Youde, Wenmeng and his gang had already felt itchy. No one dared to fight with Mao Jue. Now Mao Jue let go , They immediately swarmed up like a vicious dog, you push my face, I scratch your ass, Kiriki is as angry as a group of brothers.In the end, relying on his face and beard, Mao Youde pushed everyone away, and he stared at the buttocks of the telescope.

"Hey! Wu Sangui, the little idiot, can do it! This knife can split, tsk tsk, I can't fight, the white flag cavalry is behind, I have long seen that Song Wei is an idiot, how can the musketeers get together there? of!"

I really didn't realize that Mao Youde's mouth is still so broken, his big butt is shaking, and he keeps talking about the battle situation in his mouth. If his image is better, he can be a commentator in future generations, enough to win the hearts of others Straight itch.

"Hey! The man in the yellow robe must be the Lord Tartar, right? If his head is cut off, the imperial court will make him a Boss, and he will reward him with 10 taels of silver!"

"What? Huang Taiji!"

It doesn't matter what kind of righteous brother is not righteous brother, Mao Jue went up and kicked Mao Youde's swaying fat butt to the side, and the telescope looked in that direction.

Really, a fat man wearing a dragon robe and wearing a red hat, who was similar to the emperor in later Qing court dramas, was standing on the left and right sides of the Daling River Gate, and was watching the battlefield with a telescope. At this moment, Mao Jue Thinking about it, I found a piece of information.

"Zhenghuang, Zhenglan, Zhengbai, Xiangbai! Behind is Xianglan, Zhenghong, Xianghong, Xianghuang, eight arches, six passages, beside Huang Taiji, there are 32 flags!"

Reaching out to take out a small book and throwing it to Adelaine, Mao Jue said hurriedly, under the pen of this girl, a painting model was roughly presented

Chapter 1 Sixteen. Reinforcements arrived

War is no longer the war of gentlemen in the Spring and Autumn Period. The two families make an appointment at a place and work together for a day. The one who wins is the grandpa, and the one who loses is the grandson. Today's war is more about using everything to the extreme. As long as the victory is achieved by any means, it will be more protracted and more difficult.

The following days were like this. On August [-]th, Mao Jue led the army to Jinzhou, and immediately lived in Dongying outside Jinzhou City. All he could do every day was look northward.

No way, Jinzhou's own troops are tight. Mao Jue didn't have the slightest desire to attack after seeing Houjin's army besieging Dalinghe City that day, especially after the 24 Hongyi cannons of five or six thousand catties Yes, he has self-knowledge, unlike Wu Xiang and Song Wei who look for excitement every day.

It’s really exciting. On August 25th, August 6000th, and September 200th, Wu Xiang, the regimental training commander, launched three attacks. The first attack was uglier than the last, and Mao Jue didn’t even bother to watch the third attack. 86 troops, more than 200 soldiers from Zhenglan Banner were killed and fled for [-] miles, [-] people were killed and more than [-] were injured.

The most important military motto in Cao Hui's debates is to fight with one blow, then to decline twice, and to exhaust three times! After losing consecutive battles, it is obvious that the soldiers no longer have the hope of victory. They are more just fighting with a mentality of coping, and their morale is so low that Wu Xiang is gone, how will the next war be fought?

But even if the Liaodong Army was beaten with bruises and swollen faces, and suffered heavy casualties, the surprisingly Dongjiang Army envied them very much.

"Get ready, go! One two one!"

Grinding his guns before the battle, he is not happy, Mao Jue is a cheapskate like Grandet, it is impossible for thousands of troops to sit here idle to eat his food and get their pay!

Idle is also idle, the remaining [-] soldiers, the devil's March recruit training continued, the soldiers of Xidaying and Tieshan Sanhu were also forced into the team by Mao Jue, and they trained with Lao Tzu !

Not convinced?That's easy to handle, not to mention the confinement, and the military salary will be deducted. You must know that Mao Jue promised a reward this time. This time, he will be given a wartime allowance of three taels for a month of battle, plus one tael a month. With a regular income, there are not many ways to make money as a soldier, how dare you?I will withhold your money to see who is uncomfortable?

Even the chief officers of the various armies, the generals dare not take care of them. On the one hand, he offends Mao Jue, and on the other hand, if he refuses to allow training, he will have to make up for this part of the money. Influence, but having said that, it also strengthened the combat effectiveness of his own soldiers, who would like to take pains and not thank you?

However, Mao Jue's action also forced these generals to cry without tears. Both the soldiers and the generals were hurt, and both were prosperous. Mao Jue tossed their subordinates like this, and they couldn't refuse. The soldiers didn't blame themselves. It's strange, Mao Jue is very generous, and above the general manager does not need to participate in the training camp, but in order not to lose the morale of the army, who would dare not come?

Except for Mao Youde who believed in himself wholeheartedly, and shouted at you, Mr. Laozi Bing, you toss around casually, Mao Zhongming should still drink and drink, and the rest, even the Zhao brothers and Tian Tao had to follow the playground to train next to each other. Tired like a bastard.

But not everyone is complaining, and some are happy, that is, the [-] old soldiers who have undergone recruit training for three months, they are now promoted to instructors, how Mao Jue tortured them back then, they torture them now Newcomers, when standing in the military posture, you should stand upright and hold your head up. You can't be beaten, move every time, every time you move, when you line up, your legs should be straight, and the queue should be neat. If you make a mistake, you should move every time, every time!

The appearance of soldiers and family members symbolizes the beginning of warlordization in the late Ming Dynasty and the decline of combat effectiveness. However, if it is used well, it may not be a good thing. Mao Jue's soldiers are now very similar to a special kind of army in the Western modernization of later generations. Progressive advanced system, career officer system.

The recruits are actually very good. After three months of hard training, they can basically be taken into battle as elite soldiers. However, a leader who has the ability to command and can lead his own team of ten people is actually very difficult to train. Don't be like The great Ming general who had him in his arms deducted his military salary so hard that it was impossible to survive. If he spent a high salary to maintain a corps of officers who were loyal to him, Mao Jue could always have a team of soldiers even if they were hard-working soldiers. A fairly impressive army.

The more than 800 elite soldiers who have been trained cry for their fathers and mothers, practicing formation and obedience under the sun, and Mao Jue himself is not idle, staying in a tent with foreign girls all day in the dark, burning firewood , very busy.

"Ouch, take it easy!"

Adelena's position was coquettish, Mao Jue had no choice but to quickly take his paw off the mound, but still left a slap mark.

Don't get me wrong, it's really a mound! Opening Mao Jue's hand, Adelaina, who is also a Virgo, carefully flattened the small mound with her small hands, and inserted two grass stalks as trees. Only then did he clap his little hands comfortably, and immediately poured down a bowl of water.

This girl had been playing with Ni for several days, but Mao Jue's eyes glowed with admiration, and he nodded to practice.Now he discovered that Adelaine, whom the money had given him, was really a treasure!

Not only does she know how to grow crops from the New World, she is even more professional in military engineering than in gardening. These days, whenever Wu Xiang goes hunting, he will take Adelaina to climb mountains, and use his large binoculars to peek at Pine Ridge. The terrain, in the past half a month, let them make out the sand table terrain from the upper reaches of the Daling River to the mouth of the Bohai Sea.

"This battlefield has entered my eyes!"

A few more bowls of water were poured in, and the Daling River began to flow. Looking at the terrain in this area, Mao Jue's eyes were also filled with excitement, and he stretched out his hand and rowed across the sand table.

"If a dam is built here"

"General, something has happened!"

Fortunately, Mao Jue really didn't do anything bad this time, otherwise Wen Meng might have made Yang impotent. His face drooped in depression, and Mao Jue yelled angrily.

"What happened again?"

"Master Hui, the two generals are fighting Liaozhen troops in Jinzhou City!"

Mao Jue rubbed his forehead with a real headache.

The big guys are all passionate soldiers. These days, there are constant battles and small battles. Everyone is under pressure in life. Dongjiang and Liaodong still have old enmities. Especially when Mao Jue came, Wu Sangui ran to the door to pretend, Counting new and old hatred together, there have been many fights between soldiers in the past two days.

But it’s rare to see it like this. Half the street was smashed. One of the few restaurants in Jinzhou, the Zuihonglou, was burning like a big candle. More than 100 soldiers were still tearing each other on the street there. .

As expected of Mao Youde, one of the rare generals in Dongjiang, with a chest like a gorilla bared, holding a big living person as a weapon in his hand, the wheel is like a windmill, three or five big men looked at their fellow robes and there. He screamed, but he didn't dare to go up.

Mao Zhongming next to him was a bit miserable, his nose was bleeding like running water, but he seemed to be tougher than Mao Youde, hugging the shoulders of a Liaodong general, his head bangs towards him Head bumped, the two of them bumped into big idiots.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps resounded on the street. Seeing the army flag coming, the Liaodong army who were fighting lively ran away like a mouse seeing a cat. The Liaodong infantry with compound bows strode out of the street, led by Jiang Xin, a general of the Liaodong Army. Looking at the scene in front of him, he waved his hand coldly.

"Raise the bow! Get ready!"

"I see who dares?"

The sentence did not come out, and on the other side of the street, the same large group of Dongjiang troops ran out, and it was Mao Jue who came in person. Seeing those Liaodong archers who were staring at each other, he yelled annoyedly, and followed closely behind him. The guards also raised their flintlock guns with a bang.
