Chapter 91: Jinzhou's victory, the arrow is on the string

While exploring the wooden gun, Zhu Youxiao pulled the hammer, then raised the gun to aim, and pulled the plate machine. The wooden hammer fell down and made a "click" sound.

"The emperor's hands are so clever." Zhang Yu'er praised with a smile: "It's done so exquisitely."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and stood up and said, "The mission is done, let's go back for dinner."

"I will help you with it." Zhang Yu'er smiled and took the wooden gun and placed it on her shoulders like a broom.

In most of the day, I made a model. As for the machine spring, it was made of iron sheets, so the strength was definitely not enough. However, this was no longer something Zhu Youxiao had to worry about.

The principle of handing over the model to Xu Guangqi is that simple, just ask him to find a craftsman to try it over and over again.

The technical gap between the mesh rope gun and the flintlock gun is actually so small. To be more precise, it should be a limitation in thinking. To break through, except for the strong elastic reeds, the rest is not very difficult.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry. He was able to use the clamp gun skillfully, and he could already pose a threat to Jiannu, and the flintlock gun was only the icing on the cake.

If Zhu Youxiao didn’t think that the amount of activities every day was too small, so Zhu Youxiao wouldn’t do this carpenter’s work!

However, Zhu Youxiao had to admit that his predecessor's skills were really good. He just inherited the memory and felt that he could rely on this technology to make a living in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Yuer, carrying a gun, returned to Dongnuan Pavilion from the workshop, which was only 180 meters away. After sitting down and resting for a while, the Pacification Department sent the Liaodong Military Newspaper.

"Jinzhou is restored and more than a thousand enemies are killed!" When Zhu Youxiao heard the good news, his fatigue was swept away and he jumped out of the chair excitedly. He just maintained the emperor's reserve for a little while, and couldn't help laughing.

Old slave, old slave, should you get out of Guangning City now? It’s a pity that the troubles of the big winter are not going to be a loss.

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Wang Tiqian smiled and said in a flattering manner: "Young Master, do you want to add two dishes tonight and add a pot of wine?"

"I want it, I want it." Zhu Youxiao nodded repeatedly, smiling so hard that his mouth couldn't close. He walked back and forth in the hall, banging the good news in his hand.

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao stopped and slowly lowered his face.

It was just a loss of a golden state and a thousand eight hundred people. The old slave would not be led by the nose so easily.

He must have known that even if he rushed back at night, he would not be able to catch up with the Ming army on the sea boat. It was just that he could reduce the subsequent losses.

If so, what would I do?

Whether it is a dying struggle or a full effort, I am afraid I will work harder to conquer Guangning or Youtunwei.

Even if the Ming army navy continues to act, the losses will be within a bearable range.

The final test, Zhu Youxiao stared at the sand table, estimating the time.

The old slaves outside Guangning City should get the news later than themselves, but at most only one day. In other words, tomorrow, a bloody battle will be launched in Guangning or Youtunwei.

Tomorrow night - Zhu Youxiao turned his eyes to a cat who was lying in Zhang Yuer's arms, looking lazy.

…………………………………

Tomorrow, we must conquer Guangning City!

The old slave gritted his teeth and threw the urgent report sent by Fuzhou onto the table.

The Ming army occupied Nanguan and closed Jinzhou. The troops were extremely large, and it was a foregone conclusion to attack Jinzhou. The Jinzhou defenders were afraid that they could not resist it and had already suffered a disaster.

Even if Xingye returns to the army now, he may not have time to rescue Jinzhou. The siege equipment has been built almost the same, so the old slave will never want to fail.

If the losses are affordable, then make up for them from Guangning City. Otherwise, wouldn’t they lose both sides?

"Father Khan." Huang Taiji walked into the tent and bowed, "The child is back."

The old slave nodded, pointed to the chair next to him, and asked, "How about it, can you tell what the mess in Guangning City are doing?"

Huang Taiji's face turned serious and said, "In the eyes of Chia'er, Guangning City is not easy to attack. Those platforms and obstacles are quite sinister, and our army may have to suffer considerable casualties."

The old slave frowned and asked, "If you talk about it in detail, you can also make arrangements."

Huang Taiji reached out and took out the drawings from his arms, spread them on the table, and pointed and explained: "Father Khan, please see, this platform extending out of the city wall is quite similar to the protruding fort at the four corners of the city wall. You can send troops to guard it, condescendingly, and attack the troops under our city from the side..."

The old slave looked at the drawings and listened to the explanation, and couldn't help but take a breath and said, "It's really vicious. I don't know which general in the city designs it, so he can be called a genius."

Huang Taiji smiled bitterly and said, "The child also wants to use a ladder to build it from the front and climb directly to attack the city. But since the enemy dares to design this way, how can he not be prepared for the back?"

"Burn with rockets..." Lao Nu shook his head and denied it halfway, "Splashing water and condensing ice, the enemy will definitely use this trick."

Huang Taiji grinned and agreed with the default.

The old slave was also helpless, sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the cold weather would help the enemy."

From the historical Liaodong war, the time when the Later Jin army launched the war was regular.

Generally speaking, there are two types: one is to facilitate marching and siege; the other is that the Ming Dynasty changed its strategy, and the Ming army's strategy changed.

Let’s talk about the first situation first, that is, why the Later Jin army often sends troops in the cold winter season. Because the river can be crossed at this time, cities with moats will also lose a barrier, which is convenient for attack.

The most frequent periods of the first lunar month are because it is the coldest time. If it weren't for this, the mud in the wilderness is called "Liaoze". It is difficult to approach Guangning City.

As for the second case, it is also obvious.

Shortly after Xiong Tingbi left his post for the first time, Jiannu launched a war and conquered Liao and Shen. In history, after Sun Chengzong stepped down from his position as the governor, the Later Jin army also quickly began to attack.

The choice of time can be called time; the use of tactics is the advantage of the location.

The Later Jin army knew their weaknesses, tried to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and chose to win in a field. When facing a city, the small ones attacked strongly, and the big ones lured the enemy to attack, first weakened their vitality, and then found a way to break the city.

In other words, in this situation, except for a strong attack, there is no other method, which is really not what Lao Nu and Huang Taiji hope to see.

"The attack is imperative, and we should not be afraid because of the enemy's toxicity." The old slave thought for a while, and still made up his mind and said, "Our army is united and obeys the orders, and will fight bravely, which is far better than the Ming army."

Huang Taiji nodded repeatedly and said, "What my father Khan said is very much. The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Our army's combat power is beyond the Ming army. Even if the enemy has a strong city to rely on, he will be able to break the city and win."
