Jirhalang followed Dorgon's army south in the previous period, and was responsible for the auxiliary task of feinting the attack on Fuzhou City. He did not encounter any tough battles. When he retreated, he led his army to the front without encountering Yang Zhen's ambush, so his men and horses in the Blue Flag did not suffer any serious losses.

In this way, Jirgalang would not have any pain in the face of the troops in Jinhai Town.

Especially when he took Huang Taiji's order in Gaizhou City, replaced Dinghai General who commanded the Lan Banner and the two white Banners, Jiergalang looked quite proud. After returning to Zhenjiang Fort, he was full of thoughts on how to detour the rear of Jinhai Town from the sea and defeat Jinhai Town in one fell swoop.

After having such an idea, he relaxed his vigilance about the operation of Jinhai East Passers-by in Zhuanghebao.

In his vision, once the food and fodder ships arrived as scheduled, and once the main force of the inlaid blue flag troops stationed in Zhenjiang Fort and other places detoured from the sea to the rear of Jinhai Town, what is the significance of Jinhai Town's operation in Zhuanghe Fort? It's just his own meal.

As for other large and small Zhangjing people in the blue flag below Jirgalang, no one took the people from Jinhai East who had been huddling in Zhuanghebao and dared not cross the Yingna River in one step.

They did not expect that the group of people stationed in Zhuanghe Fort would dare to take the initiative to go north to launch an attack on them.

Therefore, Jiergalang's current anger is not so much anger at the anger of being offended by Jialazhang Jingshuoerhui, who was stationed in Gushanzi, but rather anger at the offended one's anger.

"Where is the auxiliary general's military service?"

But after Jirgalang sat down, he waited coldly against the people kneeling on the ground, and soon returned to his calmness and called the name of the auxiliary general, the military service Dahai.

"There is this Wudahai!"

As soon as Jirhalang finished speaking, a strong and honest man kneeling in the crowd suddenly straightened his upper body and answered.

This man is about forty years old, with a big face and a mustache, thick eyebrows, thin eyes, high cheekbones, and a warm black fur hat. He is the third-class auxiliary general of the Manchurian Meilezhangjing under Jierharang.

This Wudahai was also from the Tartar Qing royal family and was the son of Murhazi, the younger brother of old Nunuerhaci. He was a cousin with Prince Zheng Jirhalang in front of him.

"Tomorrow morning, you will lead a Jiala vest soldier and personally go to Donggaoli Chengzishan on the banks of the Inna River to take charge of the Niuluzhuang Village south of the Yanghe River, no matter which one it was from before, you will temporarily gather and organize it."

“Wait—”

After listening to Jirgalang's orders, Wudahai immediately responded to the promise.

But after Yudahai said something, he still looked at Jirgalang with some confusion. He obviously wanted to ask something, but hesitated and did not speak.

"You want to ask, should I ask you if I go south to take revenge after I arrive in Donggaoli City, cross the Inna River and fight the Ming army's camp?"

Of course, Jirgalang saw the expression of Wudahai. Jirgalang didn't wait for him to ask, but told him directly.

"The prince is clear and understands that the question is exactly in his heart. Since then, I can only kill the Southern Barbarians, so how can I let the Southern Barbarians come to disturb the Qing Dynasty? If the Southern Barbarians south of the Yingna River are just built and unable to stand firm, that's fine.

"But now that they dare to cross the river to destroy my farmland, they must not give up. Only by sending troops to kill them can we relieve the hatred in our hearts!"

Perhaps it was the destroyed farmland, which contained the land of Wudahai, or perhaps it was the abducted Baoyi Ahari who had a slave under Wudahai. In short, when he talked about the Ming army stationed in Zhuanghebao, he looked sinister and fierce tone.

"Also, the two Jiala people are enough. As long as the prince gives the order, I and Shuoerhui will send troops south, and the Southern Barbarians south of the Inna River will be bloody!"

"Damn it!"

Wudahai had just finished speaking with great enthusiasm and asked for a fight to the south, but suddenly saw Jierharong shouting at him in a stern voice, and then roaring like a cannon.

"The Pingshanzi, Xigaoli City, and the newly built fortress city on the former site of Huanggudao Fort are all stationed in Yingpan. Which one do you want to fight, which one can you defeat?!"

Jirgalang's words immediately made Wudahai, who was in full swing, and he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't speak for a while.

The crowd of emotions that were ignited by Wu Dahai's words just now also turned from uncontrollable restlessness to death again.

Jirgalang did not make the words clear, but the powerful people present in the Bianlan Banner knew what he meant inside and outside.

That means that if the troops of the blue flag could easily break the castle camp of the Ming army in Jinhai Town in the south, then Jirgalang would have sent people to attack long ago. How could it be Wudahai's turn to jump out and show off now?

The reason why Jirgalang was tolerant and did not send people to attack was, at the beginning, because he did not take the Ming army seriously, who had just arrived.

But later, when he realized the severity of the problem, he found that he was not fully sure of attacking and overcoming Jiancheng and taking Zhuanghebao.

Because there are not enough heavy artillery weapons in Jirgalang's army now.

There are many Mt. Tartars under the Lanzhou brand, and Mongolian Tartars, there are no Wuzhen Chaoha Niu that can make heavy artillery.

As for the various Han army troops under the Inlain Lan Banner, of course, there were many Wuzhen Chaoha Niulu. For example, the former Han army under the Inlain Lan led by Fuguo Gongtunqi was equipped with many heavy artillery firearms.

For example, the Tianshun King Shangkexi, who was incorporated into the Xianglan family's army at the beginning of the year, was also equipped with many artillery weapons.

However, the two old Han troops and the new Han troops had a tragic fate. The old Han troops led by the Tartars Fuguo Gongtunqi led by the old Han troops in Wuzhen Chaoha Geniulu were wiped out in the Battle of Lushunkou in the winter of the 12th year of Chongzhen.

Tunqi and Tong Tulai were taken to the capital by Yang Zhen. A large number of artillery weapons, ammunition and food that they relied on to guard Lushunkou fell into the hands of Yang Zhen and his subordinates.

After this incident, the strength of the heavy artillery team of the Han army in the Enanglan Banner was greatly damaged, and the heavy artillery firearms were almost completely lost. This was also the main reason why Huang Taiji decided to incorporate Shang Kexi's Tianshu troops into the Han army in the Enanglan Banner.

However, Shang Kexi's helping soldiers surrendered to the Qing Dynasty a little later, so the artillery and other objects in their army were mostly the weapons brought by the ship when they defected from Dongjiang Town.

Shang Kexi's New Han army was not divided into many heavy artillery like Tianyou cheering for the Wei General, which was extremely valuable to the Miqing Eight Banners.

Moreover, their few heavy firearms were already lost in the raids of Lianyun Island and Xiong Yuecheng that Yang Zhen launched one after another in March.

When the war in March ended, they were ordered to be transferred to the Yalu River without supplementation and selected a place to establish a shipyard.

After that, whether it was Huang Taiji, the pseudo-Emperor of the Manchu Tartars, or Jier Harang, the head of the Inlaid Blue Banner, he Shuo Zheng, he regarded the Inlaid Blue Banner Han army under Shang Kexi as the only hope of the Tartar navy, and no longer regarded it as the Wuzhen Chaoha heavy artillery team.

In this way, except for the heavy artillery left behind in Zhenjiang Fort, Jiuliancheng and other places, there are no heavy artillery available in the Manchuria and Mongolian Hanniulu under the Inlain Lan banner of Jiergalang.

As the owner of the Inlaid Blue Flag, Jirgalang not only knew this situation, but also was very anxious.

The Navy Camp fleet of Jinhai East Road went north to attack the coast of Li Dynasty Ping'an Road, so naturally it was impossible to hide the spy of Jirgalang.

This plundering attack naturally sounded the alarm for Jirgalang, making him very worried about the safety of Zhenjiangbao and other places along the Yalu River.

Since he returned to Zhenjiang Fort to take charge, he has repeatedly asked Huang Taiji to transfer heavy artillery along the Yalu River.

However, Jirgalang's request was useless. Huang Taiji promised him that he would allocate heavy artillery to him, but he did not receive supplementary heavy artillery from Shengjing City.

It’s not that Huang Taiji didn’t want to give it to him, but because the clever wife couldn’t cook without rice, Huang Taiji couldn’t even produce any extra heavy artillery in his hands.

Since last year, the Qing soldiers have suffered several defeats under Yang Zhen. In addition to the huge casualties of soldiers, the heavy artillery they had saved were also getting fewer and fewer.

There was an ambush in Woniugou in front of it, and the two white flag Han troops lost almost all the heavy artillery of the two white flag Han troops.

Later, there was an ambush in Guanmashan. The army of the Han army in Gushan, Ezhen, and the army of Gongshun, the King Kong Youde, who was affiliated with the Han army in Zhenghong Banner, lost all the heavy artillery mobilized by Dorgon from various parties.

After these battles, the number of heavy artillery that was originally increasingly abundant in the Qing Dynasty took a sharp turn for the worse, and it began to appear to be short of use and began to be inadequate.

The two white flags, Zhenghong flags, Zhenglan flags, and Inlaid Blue flags all wrote to Huang Taiji to request the transfer of heavy artillery, but where did Huang Taiji create so many heavy artillery?

Although Shengjing Cannon Factory has the technology and experience in casting heavy artillery, it can also recruit manpower and expand the scale of casting, but there is no good one, and there is sufficient iron and copper, all of this is meaningless.

Starting from mid-August, King Kong Youde was obedient and finally obtained Huang Taiji's understanding and decree. He led his men to run around the area controlled by the Manchu and Qing dynasties, collecting copper and iron resources that could be used to cast heavy artillery everywhere.

For example, the bronze bells and iron statues in temples and palaces in various places, and the old small copper cannons and iron cannons equipped with various passes are all collected by the artillery factory.

Kong Youde suggested that after Huang Taiji did this, some copper and iron resources needed by the artillery factory were collected, but Kong Youde and Huang Taiji behind him also attracted a lot of resentment.

Because in the Manchu and Qing Dynasty, whether it was the Eight Banners Manchu tribes or the Eight Banners Mongolian tribes, they all worshiped Buddha, and most of the copper materials needed by Kong Youde Casting and Cannon Factory were collected from temples in various places.

However, even so, casting of heavy artillery is still an extremely difficult and time-consuming process, and it is difficult to ensure both quantity and quality.

The limited number of heavy artillery that had been cast previously has been given priority to the Zhenglan Banner, Zhenghong Banner and two white Banners, which were first received by the water tower.

As for the relatively low status of the Han army of the Inlaid Blue Banner, since it has been regarded by Huang Taiji as the future navy of the Qing Dynasty, it is naturally impossible for them to obtain heavy artillery first.

In this way, facing this lack of heavy artillery, Jiergalang had to use the method of siege and then surrendering even if he wanted to attack Zhuanghe Fort.

If he wants to take the method of taking a strong attack, he will suffer huge casualties.

Dorgon commanded King Kong Youde's troops and the heavy artillery team of Li Bayan, the Han army of Zhenglan Banner, attacked Xipingshan, Jirgalang was not present, but afterwards he heard about the result of the strong attack.
