Seeing that the more everyone talked, the more outrageous it became, and the topic already involved sensitive points, Lakshin reacted quickly and adjusted the direction of the topic.

Although it is changing the topic, what Lakshin said happens to be the most concerned issue of the Southern Assault Group right now.

The navy is already urging it, but the army is still unable to open the situation, which makes the army brothers really hurt their brains.

"There's really nothing to do."

"This battle is really embarrassing, in the past, this attack speed, that should be praised, but now, the same speed, is actually despised by the navy."

"The navy is a gold-swallowing beast, and its combat power is piled up with real money, just talking about an all-steel test ship, with a displacement of 3,000 tons, how much good steel does it have to use.

Just one is worth the military expenses of all the units of our army for several years. And that's not even counting the annual maintenance and usage fees.

And the heavy guns equipped on each warship, I am greedy when I look at it, we are only equipped with 40mm infantry guns until now, but what about the navy, the tube, the maximum caliber, has reached 155mm. There's no comparison. ”

"According to me, it's better to let the navy attack with a round of artillery and completely destroy Shangjing, and save us from delaying time and losing face."

Zhong Fulin was at the right time, glared at the officer who spoke, and warned him not to say strange things.

"Alas, when I was a soldier on the Tartar side, every time I went to fight Ningyuan City, it was in vain for many months, and I didn't feel discouraged.

But now, our aggression is like fire, and everywhere we go, we are all submissive, and we still feel that the speed is too slow. ”

"I heard that the battle of Dalinghe City has been fought for more than two months, and Huang Taiji has not been able to peel off the walls of Dalinghe until now. Commander-in-Chief Zhong, isn't that the case? ”

Facing the inquiries of his officers, Zhong Fulin also thought about it, these things did not involve confidentiality regulations, so he didn't talk nonsense and explained them to everyone.

"That's right, Nurhachi suffered losses under Ningyuan Jiancheng several times back then, and his son Huang Taiji suffered in front of a small county town in the battle of invading Daming the year before last, and he couldn't attack it for a long time.

Therefore, when attacking the Daling River this year, Huang Taiji did not dare to directly adopt the method of attacking the city, but instead gathered a large number of Baoyi and Aha in this busy agricultural season, adopted siege tactics, and surrounded the Daling River first. ”

"Is it just a siege? Commander-in-chief, this time Da Ming took the initiative to attack and inserted a knife in Houjin's waist, once Houjin chose to besiege, it would become a struggle.

Isn't this just in the heart of the Ming Kingdom, even if a large amount of materials and population were robbed from the Ming Kingdom last year, but with the national strength of the Houjin, the energy consumption is too much for the Ming Dynasty? ”

At this time, Lakshin had finished wiping the military boots on his right foot, straightened his waist and eased his strength, and said, "I can answer this question." After the Golden Tartar, that is also constantly improving, you can't look at people with old eyes. What's more, Huang Taiji is much more powerful than him.

Let's just say that in the battle of the Daling River this time, Huang Taiji dug four trenches about three miles away from the Daling River as soon as he came up, each of which was three meters deep and three meters wide.

In the end, Huang Taiji was not safe enough, and built a three-meter-high wall on the periphery of the trench, and set up a battlement in the wall. Fifteen meters outside the wall, another trench was dug to defend the outside. ”

The lieutenant officer was dumbfounded, and someone muttered, "This method of besieging the city is simply mad." How much manpower it takes. ”

"Hey, it's not like you don't know that in terms of post-finance, manpower is the least valuable. Human life is not as good as an animal. As long as the goal can be achieved, this manpower is not used as much as you want. ”

"yes. , the Tartars did not take the common people seriously. ”

"Deputy Commander, I listen to what you mean, this shouldn't be over yet, right? Just surrounded by such a rigid surrounding, the consumption is too huge, and Houjin may not be able to hold on for too long! ”

Lakshin showed a tiger tooth and gave a thumbs-up with his left hand, "Smart." It's just not over, Huang Taiji, a total of 45 camps of all sizes have been set up around the Daling River, and the Daling River is surrounded by water.

Then, it's time to routinely consume cannon fodder, everyone has been dealing with Houjin for so long, and they should know that when they fight, they will always come first to fight like this, consuming and consuming the arrows, gunpowder, and lead of the defenders, paving the way for subsequent actions. ”

Everyone sighed together when they said this, because they were driven by the Houjin Tartars and died at the hands of all the Chinese officers present, it was already an astronomical amount, and everyone was not very comfortable, after all, it was not a glorious thing for soldiers to have the blood of the common people in their hands.

Rakshen also felt that he was talking without thinking, frowned, and continued to explain, "Next, Huang Taiji's actions are a bit similar to our situation at this time.

Around Dalinghe City, there are also dungeons, as the location of the troops and strategies, these dungeons greatly hindered Huang Taiji's siege of the city, so next, he gave a death order to clean up these dungeons.

Until the day before yesterday, when I received a war briefing from my superiors, Houjin had already cleaned up half of the 12 bunkers on the outskirts of the Daling River. ”

"Only 12 bunkers? No way? Daming is also the Central Celestial Empire, such an initiative to attack, but only 12 forts were built around the Daling River? It's too inferior. Anyway, An Bu has built hundreds of dungeons around Shangjing. ”

"This can be compared, Daming's side has been suffering disasters for many years, and they have to squeeze money out of their teeth to carry out this city construction task, and their time is only a few months, and it is already very good to be able to complete the current scale.

An Bu Bang, that is the strength of the whole country, built here for four years, the investment of the two sides is not proportional at all. ”

"Commander-in-Chief Zhong, how long do you think Da Ling He can hold out, and how long will it take for Hou Jin to capture Da Ling River City?"

Zhong Fulin was listening to everyone's discussions, and when he heard someone ask him, he paused for a moment and first said the known conditions: "Huang Taiji brought more than 50,000 people to attack Dalinghe City with more than 13,000 people this time. ”

As he spoke, his mind was also thinking quickly, and he said while thinking, "According to the analysis of the General Staff, Huang Taiji should have a fear of the siege, so the regular troops they invested in the siege are not many, and most of them are cannon fodder.

Houjin Tartar now mainly relies on artillery to attack the city, and Huang Taiji arranged a total of 6 red-coated cannons in the team attacking Dalinghe, plus 14 general cannons.

These old-fashioned smoothbore guns do not seem to us to be anything, but they are more than enough to deal with those rammed earth.

But what do we see? It's been nearly two months, and Huang Taiji, who was supposed to break the city easily, didn't even completely capture the 12 forts, which is very revealing.

Huang Taiji, his mind is not on the siege, he has ulterior motives for besieging the city this time.

I think that when Huang Taiji captures Dalinghe City depends on when Da Linghe gives up Dalinghe. And not depending on Houjin's siege ability. ”

"Commander-in-chief, I still don't quite understand, why do you think Da Ming wants to give up Da Linghe City? Isn't this a battle they took the initiative to provoke? ”
