"Zhao rated!"

Du Du's mouth coldly spit out three words.

He will never forget that just over a year ago, Yang Feng, who was only Jiang Ningbo at the time, only led an army of less than 40,000 people to surround Shengjing, which had 80,000 troops.

The poisonous smoke bombs emitting white smoke one after another devoured the lives of countless Manchu sons like devils, and even Huang Taiji's eldest son Hao Ge died on the spot, in order to let Yang Feng retreat, Huang Taiji had to send his two daughters out of the city to Yang Feng.

In order to take revenge, the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty was lying on salary and tasting courage, constantly showing goodwill to the Ming Dynasty on the surface, and even put forward such humiliating conditions as the resumption of the mutual market.

However, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was unmoved by all this, and Zhu Youxiao even strictly ordered the nine borders to strictly guard the border passes, and no weapons and food were allowed to flow outside the passes.

In order to raise funds to get enough iron to make cannons and firecrackers, Huang Taiji personally called on the Manchu Qing to donate, and took the lead in donating a part of the gold, silver and jewelry of himself and the harem concubines, raising more than four million taels of silver, and buying hundreds of thousands of catties of fine iron and sub-medicine from those Jin merchants who saw the money.

It's a pity that the blacksmith skills of those captured are still not good, and they can't perfectly imitate the kind of guns and artillery used by the Jiangning army, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would be afraid of them.

Looking at the Ming army a mile away, Du Du said coldly: "Come on, call me Tong Yangxing." ”

"Whoa......

A Goshha took the order, and soon Tong Yangxing, who was wearing three layers of armor, strode over, bowed to Du Du and said, "Tong Yangxing has seen adults. ”

"Tong nourishing sex!"

Du Du looked at Tong Yang and asked lightly: "For more than a year, Your Majesty has not hesitated to order the Manchu Dynasty to shrink their clothes and diet, and also to reorganize your Han Army flag into a firearms battalion, I don't know how your firearms battalion compares to the Jiangning Army now?" ”

"This!"

Tong Yangxing's expression became a little embarrassed, his own family knew his own affairs, and he had fiddled with firearms for more than a year, and the self-made firearms were compared with the firearms obtained from the Liaodong Army, and his own firearms were one-third worse than others' in terms of range and power, but what did you let him say about this kind of thing?

"That's it!"

Seeing Tong Yangxing's appearance, Du Du also knew that his problem had indeed hit the sore spot of others, he waved his hand, pointed to the Ming army at the foot of the mountain and asked, "Look at it, can your artillery reach those Ming troops?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Tong Yangxing just glanced at it and made a judgment without thinking.

"That's good!"

Du Du's face had a hint of fierceness, "You go back immediately, concentrate all the artillery for Lao Tzu to blow up all those Nikans!" ”

"Huh!"

Tong Yangxing hesitated for a moment, but then answered loudly.

Soon, with more than a dozen muffled thunderous sounds, dozens of projectiles rushed from the mountainside towards the Ming army at the foot of the mountain with a dull whistling sound.

"Whoosh......"

A projectile the size of a bowl struck a war horse with its head down to eat the horse's feed, and the rather majestic war horse and the knight who were feeding the horse turned into a blood mist in an instant.

After the man and horse penetrated the attack, the projectile still rushed forward for a long distance, and after killing and wounding two cavalrymen, it ran out of kinetic energy and stopped beating.

The sudden artillery bombardment caught the Ming army off guard, and for a while the solemn formation began to become chaotic. Seeing this, many officers hurriedly ordered the cavalry to disperse and immediately retreat.

Looking at the retreating cavalry of the Ming army like a tide, Du Du and many Manchu generals on the hillside laughed happily, and many even laughed and cursed while urinating in the direction of the retreat of the Ming army.

By the time Zhao Shuojiao arrived, the cavalry under his command had already retreated to a place three miles away from Heishaling.

"You guys are really giving Lao Tzu a face!"

Seeing that he was disgraced, Zhao Shujiao was so angry that his face was like the bottom of a pot, and he pointed at the officers and non-commissioned officers who didn't know what to say.

In order to win the vanguard position this time, Zhao Shujiao spent a lot of effort, but now the team has just arrived at Heishaling, and the other party has been splitting their heads, and they have lost more than ten brothers without even seeing the enemy's face, which is a shame and a big loss.

He called in a guerrilla general who had just been with the army.

"When the shelling of Heishaling was carried out, did you clearly see the position and specific number of the opponent's artillery?"

The guerrilla general replied: "It is really too chaotic, and the last general did not see it clearly, but there must be thirty or forty gates." ”

"Thirty or forty?"

Zhao Shujiao's face became very ugly, he didn't expect that after more than a year, the Manchu Tartars actually quietly made so many artillery.

Seeing that Zhao Shujiao was silent, this guerrilla asked on the side: "My lord, what should we do now?" Do you want to launch an attack on the Black Sand Ridge? ”

"No!"

Zhao Shujiao shook his head.

"The situation has changed, we can't act according to the original plan, I will take my brother to stand by in place, and then send out the night to investigate the surrounding movements, you immediately go to report this matter to the governor and the marquis."

Soon, the guerrilla general reported the matter to Sun Chengzong and Yang Feng.

"The Tartars also have artillery, and there are quite a few of them?"

Sun Chengzong and Yang Feng, who received the report, glanced at each other, and both of them saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

Yang Feng asked: "Governor, you have been in Liaodong for several years, and you know the Tatars best, have you ever seen the Tatars use artillery on a large scale?" ”

"Nope!"

Sun Chengzong shook his head: "The Tartars do have artillery, but they are nothing more than some general cannons and imitation Hongyi cannons, although these cannons are powerful, they are too cumbersome and heavy, and they are acceptable to defend the city, but they cannot be used for field battles." This time, the Tartars actually laid so many artillery pieces on the Black Sand Ridge, which shows that ......"

"This shows that the early Tartars had premeditated, or the Tartars forged a lot of very light guns during this time, and it was not ......"

Speaking of this, Yang Feng said to the guerrilla who came to report the news: "Your general army is right not to launch an attack on Heishaling according to the original plan, Ben Hou estimates that this time the Tartars not only cast new artillery, maybe even the fire guns have begun to be cast." ”

"What...... How is this possible? ”

Everyone was a little unconvinced, and Sun Chengzong shook his head and said: "This is impossible, the casting of the fire gun is quite complicated, and even the military battle bureau in the capital can't make a good fire gun now, how can the tartar be made?" ”

Yang Feng said: "The exact same may not be created, but imitation is still possible." ”

"Imitation?"

Sun Chengzong was stunned, thought about it thoughtfully, and then said slowly: "Jiang Ninghou, you mean ......?"

Yang Feng glanced at the surrounding generals, and shouted a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Governor, according to the methods of the Tartars, it shouldn't be difficult to get a few firecrackers from the Liaodong Army that Benhou sold to you, as long as you can get these firecrackers, do you think the Tartars can be imitated." ”

As soon as Yang Feng said this, Sun Chengzong's face began to look ugly......
