Chapter 1037: The Great Battle of Liaodong Storm (12)
Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, who has been paying attention to the war at a high place, has no idea about the combat power and mutual cooperation of the bunker group on the outer defense line of Chenyang City. There is a five-meter-high defense fortification similar to the size of a Fenghuo Dun in the Ming Dynasty. A bunker group of three to six and a half underground surrounded by Fenghuo Dun. The size of the Fenghuo Dun is closely related to the size of the Pud. The bigger the Pud, the more bunkers around Fenghuo Dun, the larger the Pud, the more bunkers around Fenghuo Dun. Now it is cold winter, and all the puddles are formed. Bing can not only pedestrians but also horses. It seems that the opponent has already calculated this situation. Through the high-power telescope, Zhang Ping'an clearly saw that there were close combat weapon tiger cannons in the bunker and on both sides. Whenever a large group of Turkish slave soldiers approached the bunker tiger cannons and opened fire, they could sweep these Turkish slave soldiers across the ground. The Qing musketeers located on the beacon tower used dense lead bullets to strike the swarming enemies, and arrows like dark clouds covered the scattered soldiers of the Turkish slave soldiers again and again.
The Turkic slave soldiers had no way out. There was an equal number of Ross soldiers behind them. The Turkic people were tamed by the Ross for many years. They were most afraid of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Ross. After paying a huge price, the Turkic slave soldiers used their superior forces to surround the bunker. In this bunker formation with Fenghuodu as the core, the Turkic slave soldiers were attacked from all directions. When Dorgon set up the Fengtian outer defense line, he paid the most attention to the front and the back, and the defenses on the outermost defense line became stronger. When the Turkic slave soldiers rushed into the enemy's outermost defense line, they were less than fifty feet away from the second defense line, artillery and arrows were covered. The heavy rain-like attack made the Turkic slave soldiers miserable. They lacked sharp weapons to attack the bunker, and could only use their lives to find ways to force the enemy hiding in the bunker.
The garrisons on the outer defense line of Shenyang were mixed with Jurchens and Han army flag soldiers. Each bunker had more than fifty soldiers defended. The exit of the bunker was also exquisitely conceived. All the main gates facing south had either on the side or had secret passages leading to the ground several feet away. Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Slave Army, saw that the bunkers had a secret passage with the beacon pier. Even if the Turkish slave soldiers broke through the main gate of the bunker, they did not find too many fierce battles. More than 30,000 Turkish slave soldiers were in a dilemma after breaking through the outermost defense line of Chenyang. They only had swords, shields, spears and cold weapons. They had no power to fight back against the Qing defenders hidden in the bunker. They were forced to use the straw-weaving earth bags placed by the defenders outside the bunker to deal with the artillery of the Pou Slave Army to block the bunker's perforation and door.
When Zhang Ping'an saw a group of clumsy-handedly using Luoyang shovels to explore the underground of the puddle, he felt a little angry and funny. It was obvious that the Slave Army taught these Ross people that used Luoyang shovels for too short time. A group of Ross people who only knew how to use brute force could not use it correctly, which made the Luoyang shovel break from it. In the battlefield where the enemy's arrows kept shooting, the anxious Ross people had to kneel on the ground and use half of the Luoyang shovel to dig the frozen ground. . Zhang Ping'an felt a little embarrassed to see this scene. At least he should have excavated pickaxes for the Ross before the war, so that there might be fewer Ross soldiers who died on the battlefield. Just as Zhang Ping'an was about to correct his mistake and let the auxiliary soldiers of the Po Slave Army send some pickaxes to the front line, a violent explosion suddenly came from the south of several puddles. This explosion blew away the Ross soldiers who were still digging, and the broken body was mixed with soil and ice and flew into the air, causing secondary damage.
In view of this, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pool Army, decisively issued an order to withdraw the troops, and he saw the final result. It seems that Jiannu is a nation who is good at learning. Although they cannot create waterproof lead pipes, they can adapt to bury buckets around the puddles to cause an explosion. The ice surface of the puddles after the explosion was broken, and many retreating Ross servants and Turkic slave soldiers fell into the water and drowned and died. The reason why the withdrawn servants were mostly killed and injured in the puddles was mainly because of the puddles.
There were too many pits in the open areas of the company, and a large number of wooden signs were buried in these pits. Once a person fell into the pit, he would basically die or be injured. Just as the servants were evacuated, several staff members who were hiding among the Ross ran against the blowing point. They took a look at the size and depth of the blowing point and then stayed away from the danger with the crowd. In this way, the experienced combat staff roughly figured out the location of the enemy's burial and the amount of the * barrel, which then provided a basis for Zhang Dashen's decision.
Zhang Ping'an, who had been watching the battle on the command tower for two hours, got up and walked down. He was only in his thirties and felt tired all over. Zhang Ping'an thought to himself, time is really unforgivable. He was plotted against and injured on the battlefield, so Zhang Ping'an was not as physically as before. It was just that the general was a brave soldier. No matter how tired Zhang Ping'an was, he pretended to be relaxed. However, when he got off the platform, he staggered and exposed Zhang Ping'an's physical weakness. Zhang Ping'an, who returned to the commander's tent, could not rest, and the book was tight.
He had to issue the urgent military report. The lazy man had a lazy way, so Zhang Ping'an asked Wang Qinghe, the general manager of the General Office, to engrave a few seals. For the unimportant approval documents, he directly stamped them with the seal, "I know!". Only the particularly important urgent report was Zhang Ping'an's opinion. The two Ming emergency documents reported by the Intelligence Department and the Detective Office attracted Zhang Ping'an's attention. These two urgent reports described the same thing. Li Zicheng, the commander of the rebellion army, gathered millions of troops from Zhangde Prefecture, Henan to Daming Prefecture, Zhili.
Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Breaking Army of the Posses, knew very well that no one could stop this person once he had ambitions. Li Zicheng, who had occupied 30% of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, had the idea of stealing the throne of the emperor. However, Li Zicheng wanted to be the emperor and was afraid of the Breaking Army outside the pass, so he avoided the Shanxi line and went to the south to attack Zhili. As for when the Breaking Army would attack Zhili in the Ming Dynasty, neither the Intelligence Department nor the Detective Office had a definite judgment. The Intelligence Department told another thing in the urgent report that after the Commander Zhao Huchen with his guards, there were still fifty-seven retired veterans who chose to stay in Zhangjiazhuang. They were reluctant to leave the Duke of Huaguo government office built for more than ten years. Zhao Huchen also repeatedly persuaded and hoped that these veterans would follow everyone to retreat to Yuetuo Island. However, these fifty-seven veterans remained unmoved and still adhered to their beliefs.
Moved by these veterans' obsession, Zhao Huchen ordered that the firearms of Duke Huaguo Mansion be left to Zhangjiazhuang, and 10,000 ammunition were used for self-defense of Duke Huaguo Mansion. As for the money and grain expenses of these veterans, Zhao Huchen left behind 3,000 stones of grain and 200 taels of gold. After most of the Duke Huaguo's main body evacuated, these veterans took in orphans left by the death of the family in the epidemic in the capital and trained these children to guard the vast area of Duke Huaguo Mansion in Zhangjiazhuang. The Zhao Huchen literature newspaper attached to the Intelligence Department, Zhang Ping'an looked at
He was extremely patient, and he didn't even care about the explosions outside the tent from time to time. After reading the Zhao Huchen literary newspaper, Zhang Ping'an pondered for a while, and picked up a piece of white paper to criticize his opinions. Zhang Ping'an criticized Zhao Huchen for being stingy. These veterans were almost all commanders except for a deputy general. He ordered the promotion of veterans guarding the Duke of Hua Guo's Mansion to reenter the officers of the Thousand Generals of the Generals of the Po Slave Army. As for the ownership of these veterans, Zhang Ping'an assigned these loyal and righteous veterans to the jurisdiction of the Generals of the Generals of the Generals of the Generals of the Generals of the Generals of the Generals of the Generals of the Slave Army.
In his instructions, Zhang Ping'an clearly instructed that the General Inspector Xie Xun would be fully responsible for handling the matter in the capital. Zhao Huchen transferred 3,000 muskets and 150,000 ammunition, 70 crossbows and enough * to support the left-behind army. This is not counted. Zhang Ping'an transferred 3,000 taels of gold from the General Institution, and raised 10,000 stones of food and 1,000 war horses to be assigned to the left-behind veterans. This is not counted. Zhang Ping'an also ordered the transfer of thousands of generals Zhang Wuwei from the Guards and brought 1,000
Three hundred elite troops stationed in Zhangjiazhuang. Just as Zhang Ping'an was discussing the personal approval of the newspaper, Gu Xin, the chief of staff of the Ponu City, walked into the tent happily. Gu Xinyi saw Zhang Ping'an writing with a brush and writing with an incredible expression on his face. Gu Xinyi was too familiar with Zhang Ping'an's personality, and he never expected that Zhang would actually approve the newspaper so hard. When Zhang Ping'an handed the approval newspaper to Gu Xin to watch, Gu Xin's face became even more surprised.
"Boss, what are you doing? If you don't want the Duke of Huaguo in Zhangjiazhuang, the capital, don't want it. If you spend so much manpower, if you encounter a rebel army attacking the capital, these elite soldiers will die in chaos and war, you will suffer a lot of losses!" Gu Xin seriously questioned Boss Zhang's abnormal behavior. The slave army did not miss the Duke of Huaguo's house, and people were much more important than houses.
"You are a sensible little guy. You can't bear to let your children get trapped by wolves, and you can't bear to get your wife. Although I have never been to the capital, I also know that the defense here is not weak. At that time, the Ming Dynasty and the rebel army will fight, and Li Zicheng will not dare to touch my mansion for a while. How many times have I told you that people have no long-term plans and will have immediate worries, so you can't think about things far away? I buried a nail here first. If the capital is broken by a thief, Emperor Chongzhen may die for his country. Then, before the war, the prince Zhu Ciyang should go to Duke Hua to inspect and prepare for the war. These veterans will send the prince to Yuetuo Island to rectify the army and horses and guard the king. Tell me if this little force in Zhangjiazhuang is enough? Zhao Huchen's evacuation from the capital is an attitude, and this attitude is for the thief Li Zicheng. Now the purpose has been achieved and it is time to arrange the next situation!"
After hearing this, Gu Xin nodded secretly. Zhang was meticulous and dark-hearted. At the beginning of the Liaodong war, he foresaw the events after the Chuangjun attacked the capital. As Zhang had expected, the capital was not protected. Zhu Cilang, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, was controlled by the Ponu Army, and attacking the Chuangjun would easily get responses from all over the world. As long as Emperor Chongzhen died at the hands of the Bhuangjun, he used the strong combat power of the Bhuangjun to drive the remnants of the Bhuangjun to the Ming Dynasty to control the area, and finally control the Ming Dynasty. The more he thought about it, the more excited Gu Xin hit the high fives and said, "Gao! It's indeed high! Your brothers admired it for thousands of miles. By the way, just investigated the rewards of the front-line staff. Jiannu buried different buckets in the south of each puddle. My subordinates and I used * to test it out. Just press the * barrels on the place where the enemy might have buried * barrels, and they could detonate the underground enemy's burials."
Gu Xin's words that had already thought of seeking credit were not over, and he immediately woke up Zhang Ping'an, who was immersed in his dream of calculating his opponent. The Chief of Staff Gu Xin's idea of using * to detonate the enemy's underground bucket was good. The mistake was that this was mainly too expensive. Zhang Ping'an, who had always been stingy, jumped up immediately after hearing Gu Xin's answer. He pointed at Gu Xin's nose and cursed. (To be continued)
