Chapter 735: Let them taste our awesomeness
Don't look at the Liaodong Army under the leadership of Sun Chengzong over the years, it has been fighting on the front line, but in fact, there are still many generals and officers in the Liaodong Army who are secretly contacting the Manchu Tartars.
People die for money, birds die for food, this saying is valid at all times. For the sake of the silver for nothing, many people took the risk of killing their heads and secretly did business with the Manchus, otherwise where did the Manchu Tartars get the brown shell firearms.
In fact, just last year, there was a bizarre fire in the Guanning army, and dozens of brown beth guns and two Napoleonic guns disappeared mysteriously, and Sun Chengzong understood that these guns and cannons may have fallen into the hands of the Manchu Tartars.
It stands to reason that Sun Zengzong should be furious and order a thorough investigation, but for fear of causing turmoil, and more importantly, if Yang Feng knows, I am afraid that the next cooperation with Yang Feng will be in vain, so he can only forcibly suppress the anger in his heart and suppress the matter of turning it into a major event.
Now as soon as he heard what Yang Feng said, he understood that Yang Feng was not unaware of what was happening under his command, but he didn't want to tell it.
Yang Feng's gaze swept over everyone like lightning, ignoring the eyes that were either ashamed, uneasy or pretending to be indifferent, and said lightly: "Tartar has suffered so many losses, if he doesn't know how to change, then he deserves to be destroyed by us." Now the question is, now that we know that the Tartars should have artillery and even firearms, how should we fight this battle next?
If we still follow the original plan, it will definitely not work, so Ben Hou suggests that we change the way we play, and we can do this and that......"
With Yang Feng's explanation, Sun Chengzong kept nodding while thinking......
Under the jurisdiction of Heishaling, Zhao Shujiao, who had withdrawn from the range of artillery, was nervously staring at the movements of the Qing army on Heishaling, and at the same time nervously sent night guards and scouts to reconnoiter Heishaling and the surrounding area.
Just when his nerves were highly tense, news came out from the scouts behind.
"My lord, the governor and the Marquis of Jiang Ning have arrived."
Before Zhao Shujiao went out to greet him, he saw Yang Feng and Sun Chengzong walking over together.
"That's it, there's no need to salute."
Yang Feng stopped Zhao Shujiao's salute and asked bluntly.
"What is the current situation in Black Sand Ridge, and what are the Tartars doing?"
"Master Hou, the last general sent someone to investigate, and the number of Tartars on the Black Sand Ridge is about 40,000. They were armed with more than forty guns, and as for the guns......
Just now, the last general sent people to carry out a feint attack, and the opponent's firecrackers were very dense, and the last general estimated that the opponent had at least two to three thousand firearms. ”
"Two or three thousand?"
Yang Feng nodded slightly.
"Huang Taiji was able to create so many firecrackers in such a short period of time, which can be regarded as embarrassing for him."
Zhao Shujiao's face showed a worried look, "Master Hou, after the Tartars have firearms, they are simply like a tiger with wings, and the last general Shicai just sent someone to make a feint and lost more than sixty brothers, if it is a strong attack, our casualties will definitely not be small." ”
"Assault...... Who said it was going to be stormed? ”
Yang Feng's face showed a touch of coldness.
"Huang Taiji doesn't think that he has copied a few guns and cannons, Ben Hou wants to let these Tartars know today that Dong Shi Xiaofeng is useless, come and ...... people."
"Here!"
A herald walked up to him quickly.
Yang Feng turned his head to Sun Chengzong and hugged his fists and said, "Governor,
-----It's a gorgeous dividing line--

----It's a gorgeous dividing line---
Since the Tartars are trying to block the road of our army with their mantis arms, then the lower official will ask you for an order today, so that these Tartars can see the power of our Great Ming Firearms, please agree! ”
Sun Chengzong glanced at Yang Feng deeply, and laughed: "Since the Marquis of Jiang Ning asked for his life, how could this official not allow it, yes!" ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Yang Feng shouted.
"Someone!"
"Here!"
"The general of the Marquis of Chuanben, the artillery battalion immediately unloaded the truck to build a position, and the preparations will be completed in two quarters of an hour!"
"Understood!"
With an order, the artillery battalion that had just arrived at the outskirts of Heisha Ridge immediately began to get busy.
A gunner, on the orders of his commander, began to unload the wagon, unloading one gun after another from the wagon. Some gunners began to dig up the earth to build bulletproof bunkers, while others unloaded ammunition from carts, and everything seemed busy and orderly.
As time passed, an improvised artillery position was quickly completed.
The generals of the Liaodong Army looked at the artillery positions that had been constructed, and many of them had strange expressions, Sun Chengzong stretched out his hand to recruit a guerrilla, pointed to the artillery position in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Xianzhi, you are the most knowledgeable about artillery in our Liaodong Army, this governor asks you, if it is replaced by an artillery battalion under your command, can the artillery position be built within two quarters of an hour?" ”
The guerrilla smiled bitterly and said, "Governor, don't say two quarters of an hour, it's good that the last general's man can build an artillery position in an hour."
"Why is that?" Sun Chengzong said displeasedly: "This governor remembers that the artillery used in your artillery battalion is no different from the Jiangning military, how can it be so different?" ”
The guerrilla's face turned a little red, and Ai Ai said helplessly after a while: "Governor, although the artillery we use is the same, the people who operate the artillery are different!" ”
Sun Chengzong immediately understood, looked at the Jiangning army that had been walking for most of the day and still maintained a strict forbidden formation, and then looked at the Liaodong army that had already sat next to him and stood one in the west, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
It seems that the gap between the Liaodong Army and the Jiangning Army is not only reflected in the equipment, but also in the quality and training of officers and non-commissioned officers, which is the main reason.
"Lord Qiqi...... The 1st Artillery Battalion is ready to open fire, please give your order! ”。
Looking at Qiu Disheng, who was standing in front of him with a solemn expression, Yang Feng said lightly: "Old Qiu, this is your first battle after being reinstated, if you don't fight well, you know what the consequences will be." ”
Qiu Disheng straightened his chest and gritted his teeth and said: "If this battle is not successful, the last general is willing to return to the medical camp to wash the clothes and toilets for the injured brothers!" ”
"Phew...... You're thinking about it. ”
Yang Feng scolded with a smile: "Let you go to the medical camp to kiss Zhang Bailing and talk about love?" Tell you, if this battle is not fought well, Ben Hou will not beat you or scold you, you will directly take off this military uniform and go back to Nanjing, or when your thousands of households plant your land, you don't have to worry about it. ”
"What ......"
Qiu Disheng was almost scared to pee, three years ago, if he could return to the Weisho in Nanjing to be his soil emperor, he would be too late to be happy, but now let him go back to the Weisho to exploit those thousands of hard-working households, and plant those acres of fields that would not starve to death and make a fortune, which would make him more uncomfortable than killing him.
Thinking that he had worked hard to get into the position of guerrilla general, if he would be beaten back to his original form because he couldn't fight this battle, and more importantly, he would have to be separated from Zhang Bailing, Qiu Disheng's eyes turned red.
