Chapter 271: Is This a Protracted War?

Liu Hong's first offensive and defensive battle in Shanhaiguan came to an end.

The musketeers of the Shenji Battalion were as addicted as Qianhusuo, and under the leadership of Liu Hongji, from the beginning of the army, this musket team hardly encountered too difficult battles.

So much so that many musketeers thought that the Eight Banners were nothing more than that, and finally under the joint suppression of Liu Hongjian and Lin He, the arrogant and unhealthy trend was corrected.

This made the border generals behind Huang Degong sigh, they trembled and defended the city but did not take an inch, and then look at the momentum of the Supervisor, dare to be in charge if the Supervisor is in charge.

It is estimated that I will sing and dance all the way to Jianyu's hometown! Several border generals thought maliciously.

"Lao Huang, why do you think Jianyu suddenly retreated? Could it be that he was shocked by the domineering spirit of Ben Hou? Liu Hong gradually danced his golden armor in front of the soldiers, which provoked the surrounding soldiers to laugh.

After a day of getting along, these border soldiers found that the Supervisor was better than Governor Huang, and they would make a joke from time to time.

Liu Hong gradually beckoned Huang Degong, and while talking, he unloaded his armor with the help of Huang Degong, and wore the armor he had been wearing all morning, and he felt very tired after getting over.

"Master Hou, the door is also strange! Looking at today's situation, I thought that Jian Yu was in a hurry! I didn't expect it, but it was also a bluff!

However, according to the statistics of the generals just now, today's battle alone killed 10,000 Tartar soldiers, which is more than the sum of the previous days! ”

Huang Degong is also in a good mood, he has been bombarded by Jianyu for several days, and his mood is already depressed, which can be regarded as venting part of his grudges.

Although most of the results came from the musketeers of the Beijing battalion troops, no matter what, the morale of the border army was activated again.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Jinyi guards outside the gate sent information and hung white sails in the camp.

Huang Degong guessed that there must be a general in the Jianyu army, and at least at the level of the county king or above, otherwise it would be impossible to do this.

However, there are too many princes and county kings in the Jianyu army, and Huang Degong can't guess which one it is.

I don't think it will be Daishan, although he wants to die of this guy, but this guy has always been in good health.

Huang Degong also thought that this might be Jianlu's trick, Jianguo was deliberately showing weakness to the enemy and luring them out of the customs?

It's impossible to get out of the customs, and you won't get out if you kill you!

As far as you have all the twists and turns, you learned it from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on our side, and you still want to deceive Lao Tzu? The official of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has also seen it!

If he knew that Lao Huang's inner drama was so full, Liu Hongjian estimated that he would give Lao Huang a fried chestnut with sugar, and this guy didn't write a real Qu Cai.

Liu Hong was also puzzled at first, but after listening to Lao Huang's explanation, he suddenly realized that the general who died in the battle.

I'm afraid it's not the silver-armored general sniped by Tianbao today!

It seems that it is a bit condescending to give Tianbao's kid three times the military salary! Liu Hong gradually rubbed his shoulder, which was pressed by the golden armor.

Well, let's go back and give him four times his salary, no more!

This kid is also old, maybe I can introduce him to a daughter-in-law!

Well, go back and talk to Cher and the two of them.

In addition, Jinyiwei also mentioned that a wave of cavalry has been rushing westward.

It's not hard to guess, even the bull stick mallet knows why.

This Shanhaiguan is the easternmost part of the current Daimyo border town, and Jianyu can't beat the Shanhaiguan, probably to a strategic shift!

"Well, that's a problem, Lao Huang! For now, it is possible that this war will be fought for a long time. Liu Hong gradually frowned and judged.

The westward march of the captives is nothing more than lengthening the battle line, taking advantage of the weakness of their insufficient troops, and gathering the main force to attack other passes to seek a breakthrough.

But the large number of brocade guards released by Lao Tzu outside the gate are not vegetarians, where are you going, why don't you just send musketeers to follow you?

Where is it different to guard the Great Wall? Where don't you eat guns?

But it doesn't work! Still too passive! Really something went wrong at the pass, and one misstep became a thousand years of hatred!

"My lord, the entire northern border pass, the troops have been arranged under the door, although there are many people, but basically if there is a war, the garrisons in the surrounding passes can quickly go to support!"

Needless to explain by Liu Hong, Huang Degong also roughly understood Jianyu's intentions, but out of the thinking of a traditional military general, when the troops are insufficient, this is already the most secure arrangement.

But that's not enough!

Jianyu can fail ten times, and as long as one pass goes wrong, it is considered to be earned.

And they, even if they succeed nine times, if they fail once, they will lose everything.

"My lord, a team of carriages came from outside the city, saying that they came from the ordnance station!" A soldier came to report.

"Oh? This Uncle Song finally sent supplies to the official! Liu Hong slapped the table with a happy face.

Liu Hongjian personally welcomed the convoy into Shanhaiguan City, and there were more than a dozen cars.

The one in charge of the escort was a thousand households of the Beijing battalion soldiers, and it seemed that these thousand households were already very tired.

Liu Hong gradually sent this group of people to eat, and with a shout, Lin He, the red-pants general of the Shenji Battalion, rushed to the supply with a roar and a paper shell bomb.

When starting from the capital, each musketeer only carried two rows of fixed ammunition with him, and after a few battles, he had already consumed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

Even today's siege is to count bullets to live, and now it's okay, and it's good again.

In addition to the eight truckloads of paper shells that were transported by the Ordnance Institute, there were also 3,000 newly produced flintlock pistols, which made several border soldiers who came with Huang Degong ready to fight!

They've seen the power of this thing, and if the Overseer can give him these muskets, wouldn't they be able to do it too......

The generals of the border army began to squeeze their eyebrows at Liu Hong, and the meaning could not be more obvious.

"Don't think about it, this batch of muskets will be given to the new army in Shanhaiguan, the muskets are easy to train, and they can form combat power in less than half a month, which can supplement the defensive strength of the border army!

As for the training task of this new army, General Lin He, you can select ten good shooters from the Shenji Battalion to supervise. ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" Lin He replied.

"You don't have to be discouraged, muskets will continue to be sent to our border gates, and I promise you that within a year, all our border soldiers will use the most advanced muskets!"

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of several border soldiers, Liu Hongjian was also a little unbearable.

But good steel must be used on the blade, and the border soldiers are accustomed to using war knives, spears and crossbow arrows, and their ability to learn new things is categorically inferior to the eggs of recruits on a blank sheet of paper.

Moreover, in the current situation, the big sword and spear are still the main theme, and all changes will take time.

"Lao Huang, do we have a ship in Shanhaiguan?" Liu Hongjian suddenly said to Huang Degong beside him.
