Do you think I look like a great enemy?

Chapter 096

"Eight thousand is not enough, Cheng Shuai, you don't know that Jiannu is really strong and weak. Our Dongjiang Army is not even a little bit worse than Jiannu. If Cheng Shuai needs 8,000 Dongjiang Army

To deal with the elites, we need to use at least three times the number of troops!"

When Huang Long heard Cheng Shijie's promise that he would be responsible for supplies during the war, he said without hesitation: "Commander Cheng, the general will go back now and mobilize 24,000 elites, including 4,000 cavalry, for Commander Cheng to command!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Huang Long's expression and naturally understood that he wanted him to feed the 24,000 mouths of the Dongjiang Army for him. But would Cheng Shijie do a losing business?

Sometimes he does, but most of the time, he actually doesn't do loss-making business. At present, he has captured a lot of equipment from the Jiannu and the ancestral army, and he doesn't like these scraps of metal and just treats them as

Support local troops.

The Dongjiang Army's combat effectiveness is indeed not too strong among the frontier troops, but among the local guard troops, it is definitely top-notch.

If Cheng Shijie wants to gain a foothold in southern Liaoning, he must first establish farming, but farming needs a relatively peaceful environment. Although the slaves are also fighting among themselves, the current Huang Taiji is no longer the one who just ascended the throne five years ago.

Huang Taiji was too strong. With Amin being dealt with and Mang Gurtai giving in, it can be said that the internal struggle among Jiannu has become peaceful.

In particular, Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners to conquer North Korea, attack Mongolia, and attack the Ming Dynasty. The battles became more and more successful, and the prestige was getting higher and higher. The power of the Later Jin Dynasty was booming. Under these circumstances, Huang Taiji would never let Liaonan develop smoothly.

Since the normal and stable development of Liaonan will not be allowed to go, a war will naturally be inevitable after the spring of next year. Compared with the Ning Navy, the disadvantage is quite obvious. The Ning Navy has few cavalry, the cavalry's combat effectiveness is not strong, and it is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of maneuverability.

, once spring begins and war breaks out again, Cheng Shijie has to fight with all his strength.

But in the battle in southern Liaoning, regardless of victory or defeat, Cheng Shijie's foundation was lost. In this case, Cheng Shijie could only take the initiative and fight decisively outside the country to ensure the smooth progress of spring plowing in southern Liaoning.

"Do you think I need the 24,000 elite members of the Dongjiang Army?"

"It comes in handy!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Why do you see it?"

"Is Cheng Shuai going to take the exam to be the final general of the school?"

Huang Long smiled faintly: "Although southern Liaoning is divided into four Wei, Jinzhou Wei has many mountains and little land, so it is not suitable for farming. The suitable farming area is in the Liaohe Plain. However, the Liaohe Plain is flat and has no danger to defend, and Haizhou within the territory

Wei, Fuzhou Guard, and Guangning Guard were all destroyed by Jiannuo, and there was no danger to defend them. If Cheng Shuai wanted to work in southern Liaoning, it was not enough to just restore the Gaizhou Guard and Jinzhou Guard. He had to improve his military record.

Move northward to Guangningwei and Haizhouwei."

Listening to Huang Long's analysis, Cheng Shijie also nodded secretly.

Huang Long saw his strategic purpose, so it can be inferred that Huang Taiji would also see it.

"Cheng Shuai definitely wants to set up defenses in the Tieshan Fort in the northeast of Guangning and the Stone Castle in the northwest. These two places are the only way for slaves to escape!"

Huang Long continued: "Although Jiannu is divided into eight banners, the real elite base is less than 40,000 people. The rest are either newly captured Haixi Jurchens or newly expanded young bannermen. If Jiannu can be allowed to fight in Tieshan

The loss of four to five thousand soldiers and horses in the fort and the stone castle is equivalent to the loss of 10% of Jiannu's elite. These soldiers are strong soldiers who have been in battle for a long time and are skilled in bows and horses. It is impossible to supplement them with new soldiers for a while. If they are lucky enough to be able to

If the loss reaches five to six thousand, the loss will reach one-sixth, so it will be difficult for the slaves to go south again in a few years!"

Cheng Shijie nodded and said: "Huang Taiji is not a fool. If he goes south, the first ones to bear the brunt will definitely be the two blue flags and the two white flags that are highly suspicious. The two yellow flags and the two red flags will not move lightly."

"This is the best. Among the Eight Banners of the Jiannu tribe, the two yellow flags are now the strongest, followed by the two red flags. The troops, equipment and weapons of the other banners are far behind. Killing a soldier with two yellow flags is equivalent to killing two to three

If the soldiers of other flags, those with two blue flags or two white flags, dare to come alone, I am afraid that the entire flag will be seriously injured before the two passes..."

Cheng Shijie looked at Huang Long and said, "Shuai Huang, if Jiannu goes south, do you and the Dongjiang Army dare to fight?"

"Dare to fight, are willing to fight, and will fight to the death and never retreat!"

"So good!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Huang Long and said: "You can now mobilize the elite of the Dongjiang Army. When your troops arrive at Gaizhou Guard, I will supplement your equipment with 8,000 men and give you a six-month quota of food and grass. You only need to wait in Shi

Guard the castle for four months!"

"Four months from now..."

"The slaves must either retreat or leave fertile land behind!"

Cheng Shijie said it easily on the surface, but in fact, he had no confidence in his heart. Commanding a hundred men to fight and commanding a thousand men to fight are completely different concepts, especially now that he has to command nearly 40,000 men to fight. For Cheng Shijie,

This is a brand new test, and it is also a huge test for Ning Haijun's General Staff.

Even with Sun Yuanhua's staff team, in fact, these Western staff officers are all colonels. Among them, the one with the highest original military rank is Colonel Lawrence. Although he has the highest military rank, he is actually a cavalry colonel. He serves in the Dutch Army.

The First Cavalry Regiment was established in 1588. Originally, because of his knighthood, he had to attend high-class drinking parties, but he took advantage of his beauty and became the lover of Maria Anna, the wife of Ferdinand III.

But the problem was that later there were considerations of political marriage, and Maria Anna married her cousin Ferdinand III. As Maria Anna's lover, Lawrence, the lover, escaped. For the sake of the face of Ferdinand III, he could not return.

The Netherlands was also unable to enter the territory of the Spanish Empire.

To put it simply, Lawrence, the cavalry colonel, actually relied on the nepotism of Spanish Princess Mariana for promotion. In addition to being handsome, tall and mighty, this guy may have received the favor of Princess Mariana for some reason or other special skills.

Lai, but the problem is that he is actually a useless person. If he is given a company, he will not be able to lead it well.

Other foreigners also either came from humble backgrounds or could no longer make it in the country. The Western officers who came to the Ming Dynasty to live a life are similar to the foreigners of later generations. They all came here because they couldn't make it in the country. The real elite.

, people are willing to leave their hometown, abandon their relatives and friends, and run thousands of miles away alone?

You are doing well in your own country, but you came to China because of your brain damage. You even don’t know shit and you actually become a foreign teacher. It is really ridiculous. (I advise parents with children to never find foreign teachers, not only for girls)

Not safe, boys may not be safe either)

Cheng Shijie discovered that his Western staff team was actually not of much help, and that his high salary was in vain. Cheng Shijie was so angry that he directly ordered the entire Western army, together with their translators, servants, and helpers, a total of

One hundred and fifty-six people form a death squad. The next time they go to the battlefield, they will be the same as ordinary soldiers.

No, they are even more miserable than ordinary soldiers, because they are death squads and perform missions with a narrow escape from death. Of course, if they have technology, they still have a chance to survive. If they dare to disobey orders, they will be buried alive.

Sun Yuanhua regarded them as treasures, but in Cheng Shijie's eyes, they were foreign garbage whose only use was to recycle waste.

Of course, those who have skills, are willing to contribute, and receive high salaries, especially the craftsman Qiao Ao, are actually a business technician and a full-time pastor. Because Qiao Ao has merit in improving machinery and equipment, he is also allowed to build churches and preach in southern Liaoning. As for the people

Whether you believe it or not is his own business.

Regarding faith, Cheng Shijie is very reassured. Chinese people are actually very pragmatic when it comes to faith. They go to any temple to worship whatever god. In fact, all Chinese people have faith, and their faith is very firm. They deserve to be worthy of heaven, and worthy of the earth.

Worthy of my parents and ancestors.

This is the firm belief of the Chinese people.

Naturally, a military operation involving 40,000 troops cannot be carried out in one sentence. Whether it is the Dongjiang Army's transfer of personnel from coastal islands or the distribution of weapons and equipment, it will take time.

Just when Ning Haijun's war machine started to activate, Azig finally ran to Shenyang.

The bodies of the Jurchen warriors are really very strong. It is more than 700 miles from Gaizhou Guard to Shenyang City. Under the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month of winter, not many non-combat attrition occurred.

Until they saw Shenyang City, these two thousand surviving white-faced elites finally couldn't bear it anymore. They howled and burst into tears. They probably never dreamed that they would be so embarrassed in their lives. Seeing Shenyang City's

At that time, I was so excited that my face burst into tears and I cried loudly.

Huang Taiji soon received the news of Azig's return. In Azig's eyes, Huang Taiji was the fat old man. Since Huang Taiji became the Khan King, his weight has been increasing rapidly. There is no way. In fact, the good days of being a slave are actually

It was quite simple, just eat, drink and sleep. But the problem was that Huang Taiji was very good at winning over the Mongolian nobles and married many Mongolian women. The three thousand beauties in his harem made him feel like dying.

If you don’t have a strong heart and mental endurance, you really can’t bear it. To talk about how ugly the beauties in the harem of the past dynasties were, just look at Puyi and his queen. After more than 200 years of bloodline genetic modification, they can still be transformed.

Looking like that bear, you can imagine how ugly he was in the early Manchu Qing Dynasty. No wonder Shunzhi wanted to become a monk. There were so many ugly women surrounding him. If he didn't have nightmares, he was considered capable.

Huang Taiji just used to eat and drink to pass the time. He would rather be drunk during the day than be blessed with three thousand beauties in the harem.

In just five years, Fat Laoba's weight has more than doubled, from more than 160 kilograms to more than 320 kilograms. Now even the largest saddle can no longer hold Huang Taiji's fat body.

Buttocks.

Huang Taiji arrived outside the city. There was still a long way to go, but Azige felt the ground shaking.

After Azig lost the battle, he was prepared to be punished by Huang Taiji, but the problem was that Huang Taiji came towards him, and a ball of white flesh began to ripple as he approached.

"Master, this slave pleads guilty..."

Before Azig could finish speaking, Huang Taiji pointed tremblingly at the defeated generals who were crying like children, and asked: "Ajige, where are Ben Khan's soldiers, where are Ben Khan's elite soldiers!"

Azig did not dare to respond, and the others did not dare to speak. Even the Jiannu Xiangbaiqi elite who was so frightened and crying did not dare to look Huang Taiji in the eyes.

"Pa bang bang..."

Huang Taiji suddenly let out a roar like a wounded beast, swung his horsewhip and whipped it on Azig's body without thinking, leaving a blood mark with one stroke. As he whipped it, he roared: "Where are Ben Khan's soldiers?"

? Where are the soldiers of this Khan? Return the soldiers of this Khan to this Khan, return the soldiers of this Khan to this Khan!"

In just a few dozen whips, Azige was beaten by Huang Taiji until his whole body was bloody and bloody. However, Azige stood firm and did not dare to dodge or say a word.

The defeat in this battle was so inexplicable and tragic. They actually did not cause any casualties to the Ming army, but they themselves lost nearly a thousand people. Especially, the caliber of the Thunderbolt gun was too large and powerful, and the lead bullet was entering the human body.

Later, you will find fragmentation, and the lead poisoning is so fatal that there is no way to treat it.

Of course, the healing method used by Jiannu is also relatively primitive, which is to do the shaman dance. If the patient is cured, it means his life should not be cut off. If he dies, it means he is dishonest and deserves to die.

Dorgon saw that his twelfth brother would be crippled if he continued to fight, so he quickly ran over to block Huang Taiji, and cried out sadly: "King Khan, stop fighting, if you fight again, just hit me!"

Huang Taiji originally wanted to deal with Azige, but he finally cultivated resentment in Azige's heart. Naturally, it was impossible to kill Azige. Otherwise, how could the two white flags fight?

"Go away!" Huang Taiji kicked his fourteenth brother Dorgon away, and whipped Azig several times with all his strength. Only then did Huang Taiji begin to show his acting skills, and his eyes were blood red.

, his face was distorted, he suddenly threw away the riding crop, covered his chest, and bent down unbearably, only to hear a "pop" sound, and a bloody arrow spurted out from his mouth.

"King Khan..."

The slave builders, Baylor and the ministers, were in a panic.

In fact, Huang Taiji's eyes were not closed at all. He just bit his tongue and mouth, deliberately creating the impression that he heard that the white flag was seriously damaged and was so angry that he vomited blood.

Since then, everyone at Xiangbai Banner knew that he was a Khan who loved his soldiers as much as his son, and would not hesitate to whip his twelfth brother for the sake of the soldiers.

In Huang Taiji's eyes, the human heart is the easiest thing to control.

Sure enough, as Huang Taiji vomited blood and fell into coma, Huang Taiji's best nephew, Yue Tuo, who was closer than his own son, said angrily: "What are we waiting for? Rush up and kill all these bright dogs to save the lives of the soldiers who died tragically."

Let’s take revenge!”

Jilharang gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, kill all these bright dogs and avenge the tragic deaths of the soldiers!"
