Chapter 1606 Compassionate
After sighing, Sun Jingting said decisively: "The army is in front of the gate tomorrow morning, and the engineering troops will build equipment overnight tonight. Ladder trucks are the most important. Can we build more?
A baggage division commander said: "If we can do it, we have carried a lot of materials with the army and have enough manpower. It is not difficult to build a hundred ladder truck in one night. With hundreds of ladders, the Ant Support Cities is enough."
Sun Jingting said, "You should make more money, but not very urgent. You should make the bigger the momentum, the better." He turned his head to Du Fulei and said, "In terms of artillery, the artillery will start bombarding the city and the city gate tomorrow morning, and the Ming army that is about to attack will not dare to show its head. I will order more gunpowder and shells to be sent up."
All the generals present nodded, and Sun Jingting said with a firm look: "I will formally submit the document to the Privy Council. The official military order is for the Privy Council to be issued. Tomorrow, at the same time, we will use a sound arrow to shoot into our request. Let's see what Jizhen and the court say. If there is any disagreement, we will attack the pass."
The people present felt a sense of urgency that something big was coming, but no one questioned or hesitated. Sun Jingting was always responsible for military and political affairs. Daily military management and training, as well as specific combat strategies, and the Political Affairs Hall would not interfere, but the war and major plans could only be the Political Affairs Hall to make the decision, so Sun Jingting did not have to discuss with anyone, including Li Shenming and Liang Xing, whether it was a war or a harmony was entirely out of his thoughts.
At this moment, even Sun Jingting himself felt quite nervous. After all, if the bet is on, if the court does not retreat, it will be equivalent to revealing the comprehensive war between Hutchison and the Ming Dynasty in advance. The Ming Dynasty is not ready, and Hutchison is also not ready. Only then did Sun Jingting vaguely feel the gap between him and Zhang Han, and the great things that determine life and death, Zhang Han made a decision while laughing. And afterwards, Zhang Han must be correct. Hutchison is on the most correct path at every important node, and has been at this point.
Zhang Han was there, and everyone seemed to have the Dinghai Dingkei needle pressed in their hearts, calm and unsurprising. At this moment, even Sun Jingting himself felt extremely nervous. His hands were trembling slightly. According to the intelligence, the Ming Dynasty was really not prepared. From the emperor to the court officials, there was no plan to fight. However, it was difficult to predict which direction the matter would develop. If the emperor was angry and had to gather troops to fight, Hutchison would have to do it to the end.
If you really want to break the gap, you have to send an urgent envoy to Datong first. Fortunately, the distance is very close and it takes two days to arrive. Then the First Lancer Regiment immediately entered Datong. Xinpingbao will only take two days to get the full mobilization of the First Regiment. Within a few days, there should be no major problems on Zhang Han's side, so there is no need to worry about safety.
But no matter what, Sun Jingting could not help but feel the pressure and tension. His hands couldn't help trembling because he was afraid that others would see it, so he could only huddle his hands in his sleeves. At this time, people said goodbye and made various preparations before the war. Everyone was familiar with these things. As long as they let go, they could quickly do all the pre-war preparations. But everyone was worried about their eyebrows. This was a sudden war without Zhang Han. If they really fought, everyone would not have much confidence in their future.
...
"It's nothing more today." Seeing the lancers withdrawing their team and returning to the camp, Zhou Wenyu also let go of his heart, and a smile appeared on his white and round face. He smiled proudly at the governor of Shuntian Wu Zhongwei, general of Ji Town Hei Yunlong, deputy general Wang Wei and others.
Of course, Yan Mingtai could not come to Gubeikou. The so-called "person-to-face battle formation" of the state officials was very close to the distance of hundreds of miles. The only person on the battlefield was Yuan Yingtai, but unfortunately died in Liaoyang.
Later in the Battle of Guangning, Xiong Tingbi was hundreds of miles away from the battlefield. It was not that he did not dare to go to the battlefield, but Xiong Tingbi was also quite bold. When he was ordered to be in danger, the generals shrank and did not dare to approach. Xiong Tingbi personally went to Chenyang, Liaoyang and the demolished Fushun Pass to revitalize the morale of the Ming army in a short time.
However, Xiong Tingbi's power was invaded by Wang Huazhen during the battle of Guangning. He had no concerns about the overall situation if he did not go forward, so of course he retreated. Wang Huazhen himself had no ability. He hurried to command the battle of Shaling in Guangning. Sixty thousand elite Ming troops went out to fight rashly and died in one battle. Wang Hua himself almost ran away. Fortunately, he hid far away.
At this time, everyone learned their lessons and hid far away during the war. Yan Mingtai was originally a weak governor, so of course he didn't want to step forward and thunder. He asked Wu Zhongwei and Hei Yunlong to come forward. He hid a hundred miles away and waited for news. He was also listening to the information from the capital. If there was any change, it would be better to make up for it early...
Wu Zhongwei didn't speak, he just felt very stressed, and he didn't understand how proud this fat man was.
In any case, the Hutchison army was approaching, and these civil and military officials who were in charge of the territory were under the pressure of the greatest pressure. Before, they had only heard that the Shang regiment army was strong, but only after seeing it with their own eyes, they knew how big the gap was with the Ming Dynasty...
As for the lancers I just saw with my own eyes, the array was full of armored iron cavalry. The people and horses were protected by armor and connected together. When they were in action, they were like iron beasts, with a strong and magnificent aura. When the array moved, thousands of horses, thousands of horses, and iron armored rings, and the spears in their hands were like forests. Once they were laid flat, they felt that there was no one in front of them... There were thousands of cavalry opposite such as the iron cavalry. Wu Zhongwei felt that his fubiao was already the elite selection force in Jizhen's fubiao, but more than two thousand fubiao soldiers were simply unable to stand a single attack in front of the opponent's cavalry. After the iron cavalry rushed forward, they were afraid that it would be a mess. If someone was lucky enough to die, could anyone dare to block his fubiao?
Even if you add Zhenbiao battalion and the Needing of each general, you can be sure that they are not one enemy in one combination.
Besides, there is the vast artillery position. Wu Zhongwei and Hei Yunlong didn't know the organization of the Shang regiment army, and they didn't know that it was a whole regiment of artillery, but there were a large number of artillery and a huge cannon body. This was a very conspicuous thing and could not be seen by anyone.
On the other hand, there were only those crude generals and second general artillery above the closed door of Jizhen, which looked old and dilapidated. Many general artillery were cast during the Jiajing period. They didn't know how many times the cannons could be bombarded. The range was short, the power was small, and it was difficult to control. Jizhen also thought of red and barbarian artillery, but the newly cast artillery was either in various cities in western Liaoning or at Shanhai Pass. Before this, the court was worried that the Donglu had broken through the pass, so it was the most tight to these places. Of course, there were not many red and barbarian artillery on the top of the capital city, which was inevitable. The court could place it without caring about it elsewhere, and the capital must first set it off.
Next, we are considering the power of Hutchison in Xuan Da. The newly cast artillery is mainly in Xuan Da. Sun Yuanhua, an expert in the continuous cast artillery, has also been in Xuanfu recently, in charge of the newly cast artillery.
However, Jizhen was ignored because Jizhen had a Shanhaiguan barrier and rebuilt the Great Wall and the enemy platform during the Wanli period. The defense line was still stable, so it was ignored by the court.
When Hutchison's army suddenly appeared outside Gubeikou, Ji Town was panicked. Looking back, it was okay if the army was not organized and the soldiers were not trained. The towns were almost the same, but there were only some old artillery available above the city walls and passes, which was quite embarrassing.
Especially compared with the two, this kind of embarrassment, shame, anger and fear is quite complicated. A great country with weapons far less than that of a business group, how can it be?
The generals were also extremely alert, fearing that the Shang army would really take action, and they were trembling these days, without a moment of worry.
Due to the confrontation for many days, Jizhen's troops rushed over one after another, with more than 40,000 people stationed behind him. This force was almost full of all for Jizhen, and it was left.
If the Shang army really breaks into the corner, once the war is defeated, there will be no soldiers available in Jizhen.
Zhou Wenyu was always optimistic. Seeing that everyone ignored his words, Zhou Wenyu was not annoyed. He pointed to the scattered military camp far away from the closed door and laughed: "They have some strong soldiers, but they are not right. They have strong soldiers but dare not break through the pass. They are in a difficult position, and they are both sides of the rat, and they are looking at each other. What if they have strong soldiers? So you don't need to worry. We seem to be forced by strong soldiers, but they seem to be dangerous, but they are as stable as Mount Tai."
Wu Zhongwei thought that this was still a little reasonable. Hutchison had always been very restrained, and the merchant army had never been too close. It seemed that it was just a coercion to the court and trying to bargain... Wu Zhongwei was not interested in these things. He was the one who wanted to retire. He just hoped that this matter would not affect his retirement.
As for whether the court allowed it, whether it was appropriate, whether Hutchison would make trouble in the future, or even really attacked the closure and entered, these things were not related to him.
Hei Yunlong's face was much better. No matter what, this time the incident was caused by the chaos caused by the will of the most important figures. Once the fight really started, he could not be defended. If he was to die, he would either die in battle or be killed by the court. If he defended it, it would be a big chaos. In the future, the court would hold him accountable, and he would be skinned even if he did not die.
This is fine. If Hutchison has no intention of breaking with the Ming Dynasty as Zhou said, and the stalemate will naturally retreat after a long period of time, that would be the best. However, it is considered a successful risk and a great joy. Not only will it not lose its head, it will also be very beneficial to the future career.
Zhou Wenyu said excitedly: "When the officials were in Ningyuan, tens of thousands of cavalry came to attack Ningyuan. The brigade camped more than ten miles outside the city. He chose the water source and cut wood to build chariots, cloud ladders, shield chariots and other siege objects on the same day. The cavalry team began to remove the arrow tower outside Ningyuan City the next day. On the third day, they attacked and rushed to the city. They also crashed into the city from all directions. The people used their weapons to break the cracks in the city wall, and intended to break the cracks in the city wall to rush in. The situation was extremely dangerous. Yuan Junmen was calm in the face of danger, and the soldiers were grateful to the death, fighting to the death, and even the enemy cavalry returned without success. They even injured the old slave, causing him to cry and leave..."
Recently, Zhou Wenyu has been saying these words almost every moment, bragging to himself for Yuan Chonghuan. Fortunately, western Liaoning is indeed strong, and everyone who injured Lao Nu just thinks he farts. However, Ning Yuan defended the strong attack and was also a fact. Lao Nu failed to attack Ning Yuan, so he turned to attack Juehua and killed more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians on the island. This is also a fact...
From Zhou Wenyu's words, everyone only heard the benefits of artillery, and Ning Yuan's soldiers used their lives to resist, which gave people some comfort.
Zhou Wenyu said proudly: "The Gubeikou is built against the mountain, high and dangerous, with many soldiers at the garrison. There are also Wu Junmen and generals leading Fubiao Town Biao and Neiding to defend it. You will be safe and sound. The Hutchison Shang army will not dare to attack and enter. Once this matter is completed, the court will send a captain to Xinping Fort to arrest Zhang Han. The Hutchison's troubles can be quelled as soon as possible."
Of course, people in western Liaoning hoped that Hutchison would fall down quickly. If they could accept Guangning and Shisanshan Yizhouwei, the western Liaoning had a lot of contacts with the Korqin tribe and established friendships early, so that western Liaoning would have greater capital, so that Yuan Chonghuan could preside over the peace talks with the Jurchens without any worries.
Once the peace agreement is completed, there will be nothing in the world. If you get great achievements, even if you don’t have a title of marquis and a rank in the court, you will never be able to escape all kinds of gifts. Unfortunately, Yuan Chonghuan is a civil servant, not a general, otherwise the court would definitely use the Yuan family to conquer western Liaoxi, which would be even more satisfying to Yuan Chonghuan.
Of course, Zhou Wenyu and others also wanted to gain great contributions in this great achievement.
