Vol 4 Chapter 32: No one grows up in the shadows

Chapter 32 Under the shadow, no one grows up

The heavy rain stopped, and the Jianzhou army came round again.

The wet weather is extremely unfriendly to muskets and artillery.

Hong Chengchou watched Kong Youde standing in the muddy water and commanding the army to pour in from the valley mouth like ants, and then said to Yang Guozhu: "Shoot, target Kong Youde's handsome flag."

Yang Guozhu retreated, Hong Chengchou raised the telescope in his hand again, and Kong Youde's ugly face appeared in front of him again.

A few black projectiles smashed into the crowd, like a rock thrown into the water, a few ripples appeared and disappeared.

Hong Chengchou suddenly remembered a word Yun Zhao had said to him.

People are born to cherish their lives.

Because everything we do in the human world is to live, the reason why we work hard and make progress is entirely to live better...

That being the case, it is difficult to understand-why on the battlefield, we forget the preciousness of life?

This is really a paradox-desperately trying to live better...

So, everyone is a born gambler!

The defense of Songshan Fort is almost without dead ends. Regardless of which direction Jian Slave comes from, there are sufficient manpower to defend it. In addition, Hong Chengchou's priority is to prepare firearms before coming to Liaodong.

This allowed him to maintain a strong combat power while he was in Liaodong, even when he was besieged by Dorgon under Jinzhou City, and made Dorgon suffer in the retreat.

In the intensive artillery fire, Jiannu took advantage of the damp and muddy land and began to dig trenches. Just in front of Songshan Fort, trenches were quickly approaching Songshan Fort.

Arrows, muskets, and artillery can easily deprive others of their lives as long as they are fired. Now, these weapons are doing such a thing.

The offense still did not stop.

When a person dies, the corpse will be thrown into the trench as a fortification. Some of the fortifications are still alive, and the soil buried in the body is pulled away with the hands again and again. In the end, they are unable to save themselves and gradually become fortifications.

Hong Chengchou dug a horizontal ditch under the city wall of Songshanbao early. Therefore, when the longitudinal trench of these Jianzhou people reached the horizontal ditch, the spearmen ambushing in the horizontal ditch stabbed the spear from both sides. When one comes out, one will be stabbed to death until the body fills up the longitudinal trench.

No one flinched.

The person who sent the death to the death continued, and the person who was assassinated was doing the same.

This kind of war has no sense of beauty at all, and some only have blood and killing.

Sometimes, a few armored men will emerge from the longitudinal trenches. Sometimes they will live longer than those in leather armor for a while, or just a moment. The reserve Ming army in the lateral trenches will not. To give him too much room for maneuvering, it is often seven or eight spears that stabbed him together, even a master of martial arts, would die in this unfavorable space.

An hour later, there was an ear-piercing hum from Jiannu, and the Jianzhou people in the longitudinal trenches also braved arrows, bullets, and shields and quickly withdrew from the firing range.

At this time, the Ming army in the trench was no different from the Jianzhou people, and everyone was covered in mud.

Seeing Jiannu trying to entangle him at any cost, Hong Chengchou suddenly smiled. It seems that Wang Pu still has room for maneuver.

He only hoped that Xia Chengde, who rushed to Bijiashan in the rain, had time to stop Wang Pu's stupid behavior.

Refuge in slavery should be the worst option at this time.

Everyone can see that the ambition of building slaves is limited at this time. They no longer have the willingness to enter the Central Plains. The only reason they want to initiate the Battle of Songjin at this time and prepare to win at all costs is the only reason. It's Shanhaiguan!

Shanhaiguan is stuck in the throat of Yanshan, which is a Xiongguan for Daming. On the other hand, once Shanhaiguan is obtained, it is still a majestic Xiongguan against Yunzhao for Jiannu.

Standing in the Shanhaiguan Pass, and ruled by the Central Plains dynasty, this is the most direct goal of Huang Taiji to initiate this war.

It was Hong Chengchou that saw this, and he was determined to use this battle to show his outstanding talents.

Wu Sangui, who had returned from the wave battle outside the city, stood quietly behind Hong Chengchou, and the two watched the Songshanbao battlefield that had just recovered.

The Ming army in the horizontal trench was peeling the armor from the dead body, and after packing up the armor and even the clothes that could be worn, they threw the naked slave corpse out of the horizontal trench.

"Why did the superintendent dispatch Xia Chengde to leave Songshan Fort last night?"

Wu Sangui's eyes continued to fall on the soldiers outside the city, but his words were somewhat aggressive.

Hong Chengchou laughed: "How confused your uncle's family is. If you leave Jinzhou with him, I'm afraid you will become Yong Jue."

Wu Sangui said: "The ancestor's birthday is the ancestor's birthday, and Wu Sangui is Wu Sangui."

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said: "If things in the world can be viewed from a certain height, the possibility of making wrong decisions is very small. The problem is that when people look at problems, they always only look at their immediate interests. This will lead to The result was deviated and was different from what I had previously expected.

Your uncle is an obvious example.

He had taken refuge in building a slave once, and then rebelled again. The court understood his behavior because it was a helpless act. His Majesty praised your uncle. Your uncle responded pretty well, except that he did not accept the edict and returned to Beijing. Besides, there are no other faults.

Wu Sangui, send someone to tell your uncle that he can rebel and establish a slave for the second time, otherwise his ancestors may not have a place to be buried. "

Wu Sangui continued to look at the corpses everywhere, as if sleepwalking: "For some reason, the Ming Dynasty has become more and more dilapidated, but people seem to be more energetic.

The superintendent, is it because of Yun Zhao's sentence-'Liaodong kills slaves, and he is the guest of Lan Tianzuo'? "

Hong Chengchou frowned and said, "Where did you hear this sentence?"

Wu Sangui laughed and said, "In Liaodong, the Wu family still has some ears, Commander, tell me, are we fighting so hard for Daming or Lantian Yunzhao?"

Hong Chengchou said blankly: "You cannot violate your order."

Seeing Hong Chengchou avoiding talking about Yun Zhao, Wu Sangui once again said, "Wang Pu didn't take refuge in establishing slaves, but he didn't have the courage to kill Jian slave Fan Wencheng."

Hong Chengchou said: "How do you know?"

Wu Sangui said: "This matter is secret. I will not know about it until today, but the superintendent learned about it last night. The lower official is even more surprised how the superintendent knows."

Hong Chengchou looked at Wu Sangui and said, "You mean Wang Pu is still reliable?"

Wu Sangui shook his head and said: "The lower official only said that Wang Pu would not seek refuge in the establishment of a slave, and the superintendent doesn't need to rush to break through."

Hong Chengchou laughed and said to Wu Sangui: "Are you willing to hang your life in the crotch of Wang Pu and others?"

Wu Sangui shook his head.

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "The plan remains unchanged."

Wu Sangui left altogether, which made Hong Chengchou feel good about the young military attache.

At least, this is a person who knows how to score.

Hong Chengchou sat at the head of the city to watch the building of slaves, and Huang Taiji sat on a chair to watch Hong Chengchou.

In the telescope, Hong Chengchou's appearance was fairly clear.

Huang Taiji put away the telescope and said to Dorgon next to him: "So, we can't even shake things like Wang Pu now, right?"

Dorgon said coldly: "The existence of Lantian has given these bright people one more choice, and we are obviously not the best choice."

"Then create a dilemma for Wang Pu, so that he does not have the possibility of taking refuge in Lan Tian."

Dorgon bowed and said, "I'm already doing it."

"Do you think Hong Chengchou will break through?"

"Definitely! And it will be soon."

"Why? Wang Pu didn't turn to us."

"Because Hong Chengchou will not put all his hopes on people like Wang Pu."

"Since he doesn't believe in Wang Pu, why use these people?"

"In reply to your majesty, because he has no choice."

Huang Taiji looked at Dorgon and said, "Just like I have to use you?"

Dorgon bowed his head and said, "You have taken away my military power."

Huang Taiji laughed and said, "It seems that I have more choices than Hong Chengchou."

Dorgon looked up at his elder brother, and his emperor sighed: "If we can't capture more artillery and muskets, we cannot quickly train an army that can handle artillery and muskets in number, our choice There will be fewer and fewer."

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Yun Zhao is a powerful enemy, but he has not yet reached the point of invincibility."

Dorgon said blankly: "When we fought Yun Zhao in Shijiazhuang, everyone basically drew a tie, but when we marched into Lantian City, our war with Yun Zhao fell into a disadvantage.

When Yue Tuo fought against Gao Jie's army in Yuerhai, we had no advantage at all.

There is no loophole in Yue Tuo's command, and Gao Jie's command is no better than Yue Tuo. The soldiers are still brave and brave. However, we failed in this battle, and we failed miserably.

Brother Huang, you should be very clear about what this shows. "

Huang Taiji squeezed the armrest of the chair with one hand and said, "So, we have to use the high wall of Shanhaiguan to keep the hungry wolf Yun Zhao outside."

"Unstoppable, Brother Huang, Yun Zhao's gaze is not only on the land of Daming, his gaze is much bigger than we thought. I heard that Yun Zhao is going to create a Daming that far surpasses Han and Tang Dynasties.

And these rumors are gradually being realized.

One of his army is now in the four counties of Hexi, Datong, with the goal directed at the Western Regions. Another army of his is oppressing Zhang Bingzhong~www.wuxiahere.com~ and treating Zhang Bingzhong as a dog to open up the sea route to Fujian.

This shows that Lan Tian Yunzhao's has begun to stretch his arms, all the way to the north and all the way to the south.

It is impossible for him to give us the possibility of clearing the land, no matter how we give in, there is no possibility of coexistence.

Brother Huang, we shouldn't spend our limited power in this war with Daming.

It is meaningless to us to get Shanhaiguan... The only result is that Yun Zhao used Shanhaiguan to drag us out of the customs. "

Huang Taiji snorted coldly, and two nosebleeds came out from his nostrils, staining his clothes red.

Chapter One, I went to the coal mine yesterday and saw the widows and orphans made in the coal mine. I was in a bad mood. Continue today.
