Chapter 200 Elites are elites

Now in autumn and winter, it is the autumn harvest season, and the autumn harvest in and around Shanhaiguan City is also coming to an end.

The repair work on the Shanhaiguan Pass is also ongoing.

After two years, although the Great Wall of Guan'ai cannot be said to be completely new, the traces of Li Zicheng's attack have been basically eliminated. Only the masonry of the wall in some places has large areas of old and new colors.

Falling in the eyes of Wu Sangui, this man from Liaodong, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a resolute face, and a shiny forehead, returned to reality.

I couldn't help but pat the thick helmet.

Let yourself come to your senses.

"The Guan Ning army is the vanguard! We must arrive at Guang Ning to garrison within two days!"

"The last general takes command!"

After the order was given, the soldiers immediately began to play and sing.

About half an hour later, a cavalryman wearing a lightning rod helmet, lined with soft armor, a chainmail coat, and then a set of straight red cloth face armor and armbands mobilized his horse to leave the army.

, raising large amounts of smoke and dust.

During those days when he was imprisoned in Shengjing and tortured, and could only watch the Korean women who were used as hostages become the playthings of the Manchus, he dreamed almost every night that he wanted to lead troops to kill Shengjing, and even secretly wrote this

Poems are used to express aspirations.

But don't get me wrong.

When the battle started, the Jinyang military force in the north of the city was even more brave than before. Seventy percent of its troops were North Korean black flag soldiers. Now that they saw the North Korean regular army, they seemed to be holding back their energy and pushed the shield cart to attack the city wall!

The fight was very difficult, and they could only rely on shield vehicles to stand in a stalemate under the city wall, throwing firepower at each other.

The black-flag navy bird boats that entered the Xiaoling River sailed to the north and east of the city and bombarded the city with the heavy artillery on board, providing more or less firepower.

Although unfamiliar, the large number of musketeers in the North Korean army still provided fire suppression for Jin Yang's military department.

Fortunately, Zhengheiqi's main attack direction is in the west of the city.

This was North Korea's efforts to revitalize its armaments over the past few years. In addition, Lee Hoon was the crown prince of the Joseon Dynasty and a benchmark for the anti-Qing faction. He was the first person to revitalize the national consciousness in the country that had been suppressed by the Qing captives.

Followed by Guan Ning's formation-breaking soldiers wearing the same heavy armor.

Now he has returned to the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing invaders. Although the main general leading the army is the Jurchen, he also has a considerable number of soldiers under his command, including five hundred elite armored men.

Although there is Xiaoling River to the north of the city and to the east, it cannot be idle.

When the passionate young leader arrived, he looked at the two different background Sanchen flags in the Zhenghei Banner camp. Although he criticized the black background Sanchen flag of Zhenghei Banner, he still sobbed on the spot.

The artillery fired in unison, and then the armored men and the black-banner Han army relied on shield vehicles to advance and shoot at each other under the city. Then the cast-iron heavy heartless cannons replaced the ejection pits and continued to kill and injure the defenders on the city wall.

Rush the car straight to the city wall and blow it open.

Further back is the Guanning Arms Camp.

This is the result of the Black Flag Army in one day.

One is used as the main anti-shock battlefield, and the other is used as a firearms, artillery position, or siege facility.

This is what he has dreamed of! The opportunity to stand alone against Qinglu!

Not to mention the relatively complete and serious trenches produced by Zhu Youjian.

The use of trenches by the Guan Ning Army and other border ordnance battalions can be regarded as breaking the regulations left by their ancestors.

And as this elite group, which only looked majestic and high-spirited, passed through Shanhaiguan.

Don’t think that shooting heavy arrows at close range after the shield car is advanced is only a unique patent of the Qing Dynasty. There are many heavy armored archers with heavy pointed heads among the Ming Dynasty frontier army. However, the late Ming Dynasty tended to be more defensive, so this type of tactics did not

It was not reflected in the field battle.

The feathers of the war horses slowly fluttered with the movement of the army. Two thousand Guan Ning's fully armored cavalry and five thousand war horses were extremely powerful.

What the Qing Dynasty chose was to find ways to master and develop more powerful cannons and increase the proportion of firearms in the army.

Doing this is also very simple.

There is still a song for the green camp guarding the city at the head of Xiaolinghe City.

The cast iron thunder cannon is slightly better than the heartless cannon, but it is still better than the unscrupulous iron barrel heartless cannon.

Originally, Wu Sangui didn't come, so Zhu Youjian planned to wait around for ten days and a half before talking.

The North Korean general Li Hao, who has experienced few battles, is now trembling with excitement while trying to use his brain to think about the tactics and tactics he has seen in military books in the past, and mobilize his troops.

In terms of field warfare, due to limited thinking and the rigidity of the Ming army's overall tactics and regulations, neither the Ming nor the Qing Dynasties thought that trenches could be dug as the main battlefield and long-term defensive positions in field operations.

Now this elite force was arranged by Zhu Youjian to besiege the south of Xiaoling River with the Black Flag guerrilla general Jin Yangwu and the Black Flag Marine Corps, while the main force of the Black Flag Army besieged the west of the city.

Even their war horses mostly wear red buffalo leather horse armor on their chests and heads. One rides on one and leads another, and one of them holds a general's war horse with a flag horse. In addition to the red buffalo leather armor, all horses

All wore riveted cloth visors.

Guan Ning's army had no choice, or could only choose to dig trenches.

Because the Guan Ning Army was familiar with the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's brave tactics, they also recruited Manchus, and the Mongols were separately organized into heavy armored infantry battalions.

The border troops of the Ming Dynasty first used firearms to hammer the Jurchens and Houjin, and then were hammered with firearms by the Qing Dynasty. Both sides figured out their own ways to deal with firearms.

A series of titles were added to them, and these elites were mobilized through various channels.

Therefore, in the north of the city, in addition to the Zhengheiqi, a militaristic organization that promoted military merit, gave preferential treatment to the strong, and had a way out only if they dared to fight, the North Korean Black Flag soldiers were really exerting their strength because their personal combat power was released and improved.

It's good if one of them doesn't hold us back, but the other can only provide firepower support.

Yes, trenches have actually appeared these days.

More than two hundred miles ahead of them at Xiaolinghe, a siege battle began.

The reason why the horses of most of the Guan Ning cavalry soldiers were wearing cowhide armor was because Wu Sangui had given the order to attack and removed the heavy vest components. Only the generals' horses were still wearing heavy vests.

Don't look at it, it's only five hundred.

But the Qing army had already prepared for street fighting in the city.

It's just that there is a fundamental difference between the trenches of Guan Ning's army and those shown by Zhu Youjian.

The firearms battalion was able to compete with the Qing army's Wu Zhenchaoha and even have the upper hand in field battles with the relatively weak artillery at hand.

"The trenches are deep and steep, and firearms are often used."

A group of naval pirates were in a mess. Not to mention attacking the city, many of them had seen no more than one hand in a city such as the Ming Army's Acropolis. Most of them could only follow the Korean army and cheer for them.

That night, the Black Flag Army invaded the city and used thunder cannons to continuously bombard it with explosive packets. However, they only occupied two blocks near the breach in the city wall.

But Wu Sangui is coming.

Moreover, the crown prince of Joseon, Li Hao, also led 5,000 Korean troops to join the Black Flag Army, and is now listening to Zhu Youjian's command.

Just because it is big and heavy, Zhengheiqi cannot use it to quickly attack the enemy.

But Zhu Youjian also had to ensure low casualties and ensure that he would have enough troops to face Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army later.

After spending the night, the Black Flag Army transported more thunder cannons into the city, and relied on the instantaneous burst of firepower to capture half of the city in the morning. Ao Bai, the lord of Xiaolinghe City, saw that the situation was not right and began to prepare to break out towards Jinzhou City.

At the same time, Obai finally understood how the Black Flag Army got its short-range firepower.

The explosive effect produced by the explosive packets fired by the heavy and huge artillery is much more powerful than the solid bullets used by the Qing Dynasty today in terms of bombing people at medium and short range!

The only thing that puzzled him was that it was obviously very difficult to transport this kind of heavy artillery in the trench. Why hadn't he seen it before?
