431 Axe
These guys are eager to fight. Seeing their subordinates so enthusiastically asking for battle, Lu Haoshan was secretly happy.
In the eyes of outsiders, since Lu Haoshan took office, Sichuan has developed economic development, social stability and military strength. If it is said that Sichuan Governor is a profession, then Lu Haoshan is definitely an excellent employee. However, in the eyes of discerning people, the greatest wealth brought to Sichuan by this Sichuan Governor is a concept and atmosphere. It uses a silent way to moisten things and depicts a wonderful prospect for the people of Sichuan, inspiring the unity of the Sichuan military and civilians, especially the atmosphere of joining hands, which has a profound impact. Take the army as an example and use generous rewards and promotion mechanisms to continuously motivate soldiers to obtain military merits.
If the army does not have the passion for fighting and is timid, then even the elite army will be a decoration. Just like the Qin State when the seven kingdoms compete for hegemony, it can complete the great cause of unification in a bitter and cold place, which is due to the establishment of an effective reward and promotion mechanism by Qin Shihuang.
Looking at the men who were eager to ask for a fight, Lu Haoshan said lightly: "Everyone sticks to his position. Without my orders, no one can attack at will. If Hong Chengchou dares to provoke or break through, he will beat me back."
After saying that, looking at the puzzled eyes of a group of subordinates, he spoke, "What, do you have any objections? I don't understand what I want to say now."
Nighthawk hesitated for a while and soon reported to the report: "Sir, Hong Chengchou has been operating Dingjun Mountain for a long time. In order to prevent our army from hoarding a large amount of food and grass early. According to the information collected by the villain, the food on the mountain can be maintained for half a year."
For Lu Haoshan's action, most of the people present defined it as surrounding Dingjun Mountain and attacking when the other party had no ammunition and food. This is the practice of many people. However, Hong Chengchou transported a large amount of food and grass to Dingjun Mountain for storage early. It was not long or short for half a year. However, for the Sichuan Army, which replenished all the way from Sichuan, it was definitely a disaster. More than 100,000 people and horses were eating horses and chewing them all day. Ye Ying felt that he needed to remind the Governor again, although this information had been reported long ago.
The Governor is busy with all kinds of things every day, and even if you forget, it is not news.
Li Dingguo nodded and agreed: "Sir, Nighthawk is right. Now the Qing army is taking the initiative to avoid war, but in fact, it is just to delay time. Once our food and grass transportation cannot keep up, it will easily lead to chaos."
"That's right," Tang Qiang couldn't help but shouted: "Sir, I think it's not difficult for our troops to use cannons and muskets to open the way to capture Dingjun Mountain, and there is no need to waste food here."
Pubu said consciously: "Sir, I will lead my men to take the lead and cut off Hong Chengchou's head to comfort the heroic souls of the soldiers who died in Ningqiangzhou City."
Lu Haoshan knocked on the table and said, "Your thoughts are known. Our Sichuan Army has advanced muskets and cannons, so passes and cities have become less important. Now the soldiers surrounded Dingjun Mountain, which is just a bait, so use this bait to surround the point and attack aid."
"Add a supporter?" Tang Qiang said with some confusion: "I have heard of the siege of the city and attacking a supporter. What does it mean to be a supporter by the adults?"
"This question is good," Lu Haoshan snapped his fingers and said, "The two conditions must be met for besieging the city and attacking the aid. That is, the city must be captured, and reinforcements must be attacked or even wiped out. However, the word "siege point" is to focus on the word "striking the aid", using Dingjunshan as bait. All the enemies around him and then ambush them on the road, which is very likely to eliminate the enemy's vitality."
Surrounding point rescue was rare in ancient times. Because Sun Tzu's method of military use, which "surrounds ten, attacks five, fights twice, fights the enemy, divides it, escapes it, and avoids it" is regarded as a golden rule. It is mostly ambushing or laying pockets to drill for enemies. Of course, this is also closely related to the environment, social development, scientific and technological progress, etc. In fact, this is the tactic of General Xu Xiangqian in 1928 and puts it into practice. It is now a "advanced" theory.
But good is good, everyone understood as soon as they heard it. Many people showed thoughtful expressions in their eyes. Not long after, they nodded secretly and recognized Lu Haoshan's tactics.
With the firepower of the Sichuan Army, fighting ambush battles and encounter battles, it is a must-have prevail. In particular, the perfect intelligence system and strong mobility provide unlimited possibilities for reinforcements. The most important point is that Sichuan is full of people and the interior is empty. Although there are strong passes to rely on, Haoshan in the short term should not be too far from the Sichuan entrance. Not to mention anything else, it is impossible to ensure the transportation of food and grass.
It seems like a small decision, but it actually contains a lot of wisdom. The soldiers expressed their conscience to Lu Haoshan.
Lu Haoshan suddenly asked, "How is Zhang Rui now?"
"Hong Chengchou led his troops to help, which caused great difficulties for him. However, after we left Sichuan, Dorgon ordered Hong Chengchou to return to Dingjunshan to guard the army. The two of them returned to the same starting line. Zhang Rui's pressure was greatly reduced, and now he was fighting equally. Finally, he sent someone to send food, grass, ammunition and other supplies to Zhang Rui's troops, and assisted him in relocation of the wounded. There should be no problem now." Li Dingguo responded quickly.
“How many people are left?”
"Apart from the wounded soldiers, there are only about 1,700 people left."
There are only more than 1,000 remaining, and the casualties are quite large. However, before rushing to Ningqiangzhou to support Ningqiang, he has to face opponents like Oboi and Hong Chengchou. It is not easy for him to persist until now in isolation and helplessness. Lu Haoshan cannot ask for more from him. He heard this and nodded and said, "Tell him not to care about too much. As long as he twists off Oboi's head and remembers him for a great contribution."
Thanks to later film and television works, Lu Haoshan still remembers the character of Oboi. This person is actually a general of a generation. He is the title of Batulu, the number one warrior of the Qing Dynasty, and is a powerful general on the battlefield. After Dorgon, Oboi also grew up to be a powerful minister. It is much better to trap him in the mountains and forests than to stay on the battlefield. From this, he can see how terrible this person is. Zhang Rui's fighting method is also a nightmare for him. In order to prevent Zhang Rui from making contributions, Lu Haoshan made a wish for him directly.
"Yes, sir." Li Dingguo said seriously.
Lu Haoshan nodded, asked someone to take out the map, and began to discuss with his subordinates how to do the best tactics of surrounding points and attacking aid.
"boom"
"Boom boom boom"
Just as the crowd was discussing it in full swing, I suddenly heard some sounds, and then the earth became trembling in the explosion, and there was a faint sound of horns in the explosion.
Lu Haoshan gave Li Dingguo a wink. Li Dingguo understood and immediately rushed out of the tent to check what happened. After a while, he came back to report to Lu Haoshan: "Sir, the Qing army fired fire at our camp in Zhongzi Mountain. Dingjun Mountain also killed a team of cavalry and advanced towards Wujiawan. It seemed that he wanted to break through."
"So bold, just those people. We didn't attack the mountain, so he started to make trouble first. The Governor, finally attacked Yuan Luerlang and others, and did not let them go." Seeing that the war had happened, Pubu immediately stood up and asked for the battle.
"I'll be willing to go"
"Sir, I will be willing to lead the team to kill them all."
When they saw Pubu asking for a fight, the crowd was not willing to be outdone and spoke out for the battle.
Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said, "This is the sorrow of being a slave. Even though he knew he was defeated, he still forced his subordinates to come and die. It was clearly a show for their master to show them. The thunder sounded loudly and rained little, so there was no need to make a fuss, Dingguo, Duobu."
"The last one is here," Li Dingguo and Dobu quickly responded loudly, smiling, as if they were beaten to win.
"You two each led a team to fight them back and gave me enough momentum. It would be better to scare them so hard that they dare not go down the mountain easily. If they want to leave, there is no need to kill them all."
When Li Dingguo and Duobu heard this, they immediately accepted the order. After the two left, Lu Haoshan sneered: "As soon as they heard the sound of cannons, they knew that they were the general cannons cast by the previous dynasty. They were playing cannons in front of our Sichuan Army. I really don't know what to say. Let's teach Hong Chengchou a lesson."
After saying that, Lu Haoshan went straight out of the camp and saw that the governor had left, the soldiers naturally followed closely behind."
The General's cannon was one of the more advanced cannons in the Ming Dynasty. This cannon was about 380cm long and had an inner diameter of 10cm. It used the iron core copper body casting method. It cleverly used the melting of copper (1083c) and was far lower than the physical properties of iron (1538c). After the iron tire was cooled, it was molded with mud casting method or waxless method, and cast copper walls. Compared with the previous iron cannons or copper cannons, this new firearm not only had thinner pipe walls, lighter weight, less cost, but also more durable. Before the appearance of the Red Barbarian cannon, it was a majestic artifact.
Unfortunately, the times are constantly improving. The red cannons have a long range and great power. They immediately compared the general cannons. Of course, there are also artillery more advanced than the red cannons. For example, the Zhenshan cannons and cannons developed by Sichuan. The Zhenshan cannons are an improved version of the Red Cannons, and they use solid bullets. The iron cannons used for the cannons have a longer range and a stronger power.
Why not use a slaughter to kill chickens? Lu Haoshan did not intend to show off the cannon weapon from the beginning, but instead took his hands straight to the No. 1 Cannon Battalion, which used the same kind of Zhenshan Cannon.
"The last general Ma Deqing met with the Governor." Seeing Lu Haoshan leading his crowds, Ma Deqing, the admiral of the No. 1 artillery battalion, immediately saluted.
Lu Haoshan saw that the artillery battalion was orderly. Some soldiers were training, and some were testing the gun barrels. The long mountain-shaking cannons lined up, just like soldiers waiting for battle. One battalion had ten artillery squads, each artillery squad had fifty people, and each ten was responsible for taking care of one artillery. In other words, there were fifty cannons in a gun battalion. The ones were full of metallic feeling and powerful artillery stood where people felt, which made people feel a sense of fear.
"Did you hear the sound of cannons?" Lu Haoshan asked.
"I heard it." Ma Deqing responded neatly.
Lu Haoshan continued to ask, "Did you hear it clearly?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
