Chapter 381: First Arrival

While the two were talking, a cavalry officer came on horseback and reported loudly, "Report to the commander-in-chief, we have arrested more than 500 Houjin Baoyi, what should we do with these people, and ask the general to make it clear!" ”

Zachdan raised his binoculars and looked at the sparse Houjin soldiers above the city, and said with a smile: "These Houjin coats, I know very well, as long as they survive the first half a year and are not killed by any accidents, then basically every one of them has learned how to make a shield car." Now, let them make us a shield car, and start doing it right away. ”

Saying that, Zachdan also patted Xiao Fu's shoulder and said, "What are you holding back, hurry up and prepare something to dig a hole, during the siege of the city, our army will send good shooters to cover and let those coats take the lead, so that we can avoid casualties in our army to the greatest extent!" ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xiao Fu, who suddenly realized his face, and said to the officer who had just asked, "When it is time to attack the city, let the Bao Yi you caught push the shield cart to dig the city wall, remember, you must tell everyone who makes the shield car, when fighting, let whoever pushes it himself, if you want to survive, do it strongly, don't cheat and play tricks." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Xiao Fu also responded loudly to Zachdan's order, "Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, tomorrow will definitely break through Jinzhou City, and his subordinates are willing to lead the team to take the lead." ”

Zachdan shook his head solemnly and said, "We have never practiced this trick before, and it may not be comparable to those Ming troops who are used to fighting this kind of anxious battle.

What's more, the city on the border of southern Liaoning, we have only seen one Lushun so far, what is it like in this Golden State, no one knows, in case the Jin army fights with us in the streets, it will be compared to who will suffer.

You, in a while, go to those Lushun auxiliaries to gather death squads, no, you can't call them death squads, just call them the first warriors, and tomorrow let the first warriors attack with the shield carts of the coats, and take the lead for us.

You give the Houjin armor and weapons captured today to the selected warriors of Xiandeng and tell them that those who perform well will be given priority in recruiting soldiers. ”

At this moment, Xiao Fu and all the surrounding officers clearly understood that the new commander-in-chief, his command style was completely different from that of the king.

Some people even kept muttering in their hearts, "Is this guy the closest brother of the king?" Compared with Jun Shang, why is there such a big difference in attitude towards human life? ”

Of course, everyone just thought about it silently on the psychological side, and no one was stupid and dared to publicly accuse Zachdan, after all, this series of orders, no matter how you look at it, is for the good of all comrades in the army.

Immediately, the construction of large-scale facilities such as shield cars and ladders began.

However, no matter how skilled the workers are, it is impossible to omit the long manual processes such as sawing, planing, and grinding in this era when mechanical power has not yet been popularized, and directly get those things out.

Therefore, after working all afternoon, I have not yet completed the creation of siege tools.

That night, the Huaxia Army was stationed outside Jinzhou City. In addition, he arrogantly lit a bonfire and played out the lights.

This series of actions is simply arrogantly shouting "Come and hit me!" Come and hit me! It seems that he is very disdainful of the Houjin army in Jinzhou, and does not pay attention to the Houjin army that boasts of being "invincible".

However, all this is just a faΓ§ade, in fact, in the darkness around the camp of the Huaxia army, as well as the necessary way for the enemy army to get out of the city, there are ambushes and scouts, waiting for the remnants of the Houjin army to throw themselves into the net and settle the battle quickly.

It's a pity that the Houjin army has already suffered a big loss, and after a long memory, it is no longer arrogant enough to think of using more than 300 people to raid the enemy army outside the city with more than 2,000 people.

The lit bonfires and torches were not to be wasted, and the captives' coats lit up with fire, and they toiled all night to build a number of shield carts and rudimentary ladders.

Early the next morning, the drums in the camp of the Lushun dispatch army were beating continuously, and the battalions, companies, and platoons in neat formations left the camp one after another, and lined up 500 meters away from the city wall.

To the north of the camp, outside the wall of the wooden fence, sat a black man.

The group numbered about 500 people, and they sat on the ground in small groups of 50 in groups of ten.

The logistics department delivered bread and thick porridge, and after distributing them, these people gobbled up for a while, and a piece of bread was wiped out in an instant, and not even a trace of residue fell to the ground.

After each person has eaten at least three cakes, he can be considered to have slowed down the pace of eating bread a little.

It was only then that they heard the movement coming from behind, and they all looked around at the infantry guns that looked very light and could be easily pushed over, and looked curiously, guessing what the power of these seemingly small guns was.

These people are all Lushun military households who were mobilized before and prepared to participate in today's battle in the city.

Some of them, when Mao Wenlong was alive, followed the generals under Mao Wenlong and participated in the raid on Liaodong together, so they can be regarded as having combat experience.

Moreover, they are all natives of Liaodong, and the Houhou Jin Tartars have a deep hatred, when they had no food, no food, no clothes, no regular weapons, and no armor, they had to follow Mao Wenlong to attack the place where the defense of Houjin was lax, and by the way, fight the autumn wind.

In the eyes of these people, this group of troops from the unknown "Huaxia Kingdom" was strong and well-equipped, and their movements were uniform, and even when they were marching, they looked very strong.

All this is different from all the armies they have seen before.

Although these military households have never read a book, nor do they have much knowledge, they can't say what it feels like, but, in the end, they know that the group of people in front of them is a rare strong army in the world.

The most important thing is that when this group of people acted, they were very confident, and they didn't seem to take the battle with the Houjin Tartars seriously at all.

Therefore, these bitter refugees and military families thought that maybe this group of people could really win the Tartars of Golden State!

So, for the sake of food and for that glimmer of hope for victory, they gritted their teeth and signed up as auxiliaries, and were led by some soldiers from the logistics department of the Chinese Army to do some chores and carry some supplies.

With such a majestic team, even on the way to the march, their group of auxiliaries felt like a rainbow.

Until the arrival of the Houjin cavalry.

During yesterday's battle, their auxiliaries had been hiding behind the infantry battalion that was in reserve, and they heard the movement on the other side of the mountain.

Especially after the Houjin army began to blow the conch and trumpet, the fear of the Houjin army that had been formed in their hearts for many years surged up again, and many people wanted to flee for their lives on the spot.

However, in the auxiliary barracks, there are dozens of soldiers of the Chinese Army guarding them, using the bayonets on their rifles to threaten those who want to flee for their lives, maintaining the fragile nerves of these people.

However, what they never expected was that just a short time later, someone came to inform them that they were going to clean up the battlefield.

This battle allowed these former Ming military households in the auxiliary battalion to see the strong combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army.

The corpses of the Houjin cavalry all over the ground made these auxiliaries full of admiration for the Chinese soldiers.

Yesterday, after arriving at the city of Jinzhou, a few "political workers" came and issued a reward for going to the city.

In addition, it was also announced that those who are willing to participate in the first Warriors will be eligible to be drafted first when expanding the army in the future.

Such a powerful temptation made these former Dongjiang soldiers excited, and they signed up to fight in the city one by one.

In the end, a total of 500 of them were selected, and the strongest of them were in front of the armor.
