Chapter 209: Ningguta City II

Called the Korean Goryeo stick, it was all influenced by Wang Yu. The generals under the command www.biquge.info of Zheng Xi went to Nanjing many times to see Wang Yu in Nanjing, and listened to him open his mouth and close his mouth to call for the Goryeo stick, so he asked why the Koreans called the Goryeo stick, Wang Yu replied, because in Korean, the stick means illegitimate children, that is, they can only be slaves, and the Goryeo people have been kneeling in front of China for thousands of years, and they are called sticks very vividly.

So the name of Goryeo stick spread among Zheng Xianjun.

According to Zheng Xi's original plan, priority was given to cleaning up the Russian castles in Heilongjiang and other places, and in addition to the few Russian castles that had surrendered and cooperated, there were still more than 10 Russian castles from Heilongjiang to Lake Baikal, and each castle had 70 to 600 garrisons. In fact, in the original history, the power of Tsarist Russia in the Far East in that era was still weak, and there were only more than 1,000 people who came to the Far East from thousands of miles. Later, because of the butterfly effect, Wang Yu asked Zheng Xi to fight with the Russian army, and the Russian army sent more manpower, but it was only more than 2,000 people.

At this time, Russia had only more than 800 Russian troops and 1,500 Cossack cavalry in the Far East, and more than 1,000 local warriors were recruited from the submitted Buryats.

Since 1622, when the Russian Far Eastern army entered the Siberian area, the Buryats have been engaged in many confrontations with the Russian army, but they are inferior to their opponents in weapons and combat effectiveness, and the Buryats have suffered defeats. Later, many Buryats fled into today's Outer Mongolia, and as a result, these foreign tribes were brutally exploited and even brutally slaughtered by the Mongol princes, so some Buryats returned to the Baikal area and chose to submit to the Russian army.

At that time, Russia had not yet developed to the point of leaving no one in the Far East, after all, the population of Russia in the Far East was too small, they needed people to build castles, and the food they ate could not be transported from Moscow thousands of miles away, and they also needed to obtain it locally. So in that era, the Russian army subdued the tribes that were willing to submit, and the tribes that were unwilling to surrender were slaughtered and expelled by them.

Even if the Buryats were recruited, and even some Oroqen and Evenks who surrendered to the Russian army, Russia recruited no more than 1,500 local indigenous soldiers.

The Russian army, the Cossacks, and the indigenous soldiers, all of which combined were only 4,000 people, were scattered in more than a dozen castles, and it would not be a problem for Zheng to attack those castles. But what I didn't expect was that the speed of Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition was so rapid and fast. When Wu Sangui crossed the Yellow River and prepared for the Northern Expedition to Beizhili, Wang Yu couldn't sit still, and sent an order to Zheng Xi: capture Shengjing and destroy the Tartar lair.

Zheng raided the army under the city of Ningguta, more than 5,000 sleigh cars were swinging in a line, which looked magnificent, and surrounded the small Ningguta city tightly, like an iron bucket.

"How did Minggou get here? They came with so many tanks? Peng Chun, the deputy commander of Manchuria who temporarily succeeded Bahai and temporarily assumed the post of general of Ningguta, stood at the head of the city, looking at the chariot group surrounding Ningguta City in amazement.

Ningguta City is not like a city in the Guannai, the city in the Guannai is either piled up with rammed earth and then covered with bricks, or it is piled up with rammed earth and covered with stones on the outside, and it is also an earthen city no matter how bad it is. However, the city of Ningguta was built of civil structures, the foundation of the city wall was made of stone, but the city wall was built of wood and loess. There is also a small inner city in the city, which is actually a small stone castle.

"My lord, let the minions lead the cavalry to attack the Ming Dog!" Peng Chun's only leader of the Eight Banners said.

Peng Chun shook his head: "We have three hundred cavalry to attack the Ming Rebellion's car formation?" How can you rush away? It's better to defend the city! See how long the false traitor can hold up in the ice and snow! ”

The Ming army did not rush to attack the city, but cut wood outside the city to build siege tools. Although the sled has a certain protective ability, a few cannons in Ningguta City can easily break the sled to pieces, even if the rolling wood and rocks fall, it is not something that the sled can resist.

North Korean, Park Jimin, was also chopping wood, and several Ming soldiers stood by to supervise. All the captured Korean Aha were assigned to the auxiliary army by Zheng Xi at this time, responsible for building siege tools. By the time the siege begins, these Korean Ahabs will be used as cannon fodder to propel siege weapons into the siege.

Park Jimin cut down a piece of wood, and under the command of the craftsmen of the Ming army, he split the wood and sawed it into planks with a saw. Then the craftsmen who followed the Ming army became busy.

"What kind of car is this building?" Park Jimin watched strangely as the craftsmen created a peculiar siege weapon, neither like a shield car, nor a nest car or a ladder, but first to create a sturdy chassis with a simple shelf on top and then covered with a layer of wooden planks. The thickness of the planks seemed so thin that it seemed to be unable to withstand the rolling wood.

An old craftsman smiled and said, "You'll know in a moment!" ”

Soon, the first siege vehicle was built, this one had six wheels, a strong and heavy chassis, and a light upper part, only thin planks, but the bottom was a frame, and a person could stand in the middle to push the vehicle.

Just when Park Jimin was full of doubts, the Ming army craftsman said: "Push the car to the riverside!" ”

The captured Korean Ahas slowly pushed the freshly built siege engine, and when they reached the riverside, they stopped the car. Then a Ming sergeant shouted: "Go to a few more people and dig open the river!" ”

Park Jimin limped along with the other auxiliaries to the river, perhaps walking at a full speed, when a Mongol-looking Ming soldier glared at him fiercely, making him tremble. However, where did Park Jimin dare to talk back, but accelerated his pace, dragged his lame leg, and walked towards the frozen river.

The ice was so solid that dozens of North Koreans dug for a long time before finally digging a hole in the river. Then someone shouted the order, asking the North Koreans to carry wooden buckets to fetch water: "Go fetch water!" The fetched water was poured on the car! ”

Park Jimin carried a wooden bucket and brought a bucket full of water from the icy river water. He placed the bucket on a small cart, and someone pushed it to the side of the siege engine. The man lifted the bucket and poured it onto the siege engine. The weather was unusually cold, and water poured on the car, which immediately turned into a thin layer of ice.

More people then busied about pouring water on the siege engine, and the ice on the roof and in front of the car grew thicker and thicker, until it became as solid as stone.

The built ladder truck was also pushed over to pour water, buckets of water were poured up, and the ladder truck became an ice truck, and then someone installed wooden planks on the ice steps to prevent it from slipping.

"Ming Dog uses soldiers to create siege weapons! Our rockets will not be able to burn them! The Qing army leader said.

This sentence reminded Peng Chun, and he turned his head and ordered: "Immediately pour water on the city wall!" Ming Dog builds ice trucks to attack the city, and we will build ice cities to defend the city! ”
