(0717) Nurhachi believed that the Great Golden Army, inlaid with blue flags, had every chance to break through the city walls directly. But they just didn't do that. It seems that after the Dajin Kingdom entered Liaodong, the most powerful resistance encountered appeared. It seems that it is not easy to break through this resistance! What does it take to clean up the white-clothed army in Yangguan Fort?

Abatai suddenly asked, "Has there been any reinforcements from the White Clothes Army recently?" ”

Amin replied cautiously: "According to the statistics of the scouts, there are about a thousand people coming. ”

Abatai's heart, only then let go. In his opinion, the white-clothed army of more than 1,000 people is indeed nothing. Since the Dajin Army entered Liaodong, tens of thousands of Ming troops have been eliminated. Therefore, such a small number of 1,000 people is not at all in the eyes of the high-level leaders of the Dajin Country. That's something Niu Lu Zhangjing should be concerned about.

It seems that Aturai's negotiations have indeed been effective. The whites must have been confused by Nurhachi's strategy. Most of them are naïve to believe that Dajin is really ready to solve the problem through negotiations. If they knew that the Dajin Army was working hard to increase its troops to Yangguan Fort, they should have brought in a large army to reinforce them. If you want to defeat so many Dajin troops, the strength of the white-clothed army, without more than 10,000 people, it is absolutely impossible.

Nurhachi also felt that the increase in the number of white-clothed troops by more than 1,000 people was something remarkable. He subconsciously believed that the defeat of the blue flag, the white flag, and the red flag was actually due to the inexperience of the Dajin army. Because the Dajin Army had never been in contact with the White Army before, and did not know the White Army, it was so caught off guard and suffered such heavy losses when it suddenly encountered the White Army. No matter from any point of view, the Dajin Army is still very capable of fighting. As the understanding between the two sides deepens, the Dajin Army will definitely save the situation.

This time, Nurhachi brought enough troops. In addition to the 20,000 Dajin army led by him, there were 30,000 Mongolian cavalry. If Yangguan Fort was not a fortress, the horse's hooves alone would have been able to completely trample the white-clothed army into powder. He believed that if he could not take Yangguan Fort, it must not be because of the strength of the army, but because of other reasons. Could there be other reasons? Nurhachi doesn't know yet.

The only thing he knew was that the White Army had clearly rejected the Dajin Army's request for negotiation. It seems that he does not want to solve the problem through negotiation, and Xu Xingxia also does not want to solve the problem through negotiation. The two can be said to be heroes who see things in the same way. Everything can only be solved through war. The Dajin Army has already concentrated all its forces, and whoever wins or loses will be killed in one fell swoop. Regardless of whether he can kill Xu Xingxia or not, he must play the prestige of the Dajin Army.

Amin was still very wise, and before Nurhachi arrived, he ordered all the cannons in Liaodong to be gathered and placed in different categories, and also arranged for Han soldiers to be used as gunners, ready to be used at any time. The number of cannons abandoned by the Ming army in various parts of Liaodong was as high as five or six hundred. Among them, most of them are Franc machine guns, and a small number of Tiger squat guns and the like. The main force, of course, is up to 300 Franc machine guns.

A large number of captured Ming soldiers, driven by the Dajin army, were in charge of the artillery. Originally, the Dajin Army hated these Ming soldiers who wiped the cannons the most, and they couldn't wait to chop them all up and feed them to the dogs. Because, the Ming army only had artillery, which could cause effective damage to the Dajin army. Of course, the Dajin Army will not let go of those who have caused harm to themselves. However, under the current special circumstances, Amin had to change his original intention and reuse these Han artillery.

Amin believed that if the white-clothed army did not have sharp firearms, it would definitely not be the opponent of the Dajin army. But the most powerful thing in the white army is firearms. As a result, even Amin, who didn't like firearms, had to work hard to change his concept and slowly began to accept the existence of firearms, especially artillery. At present, it seems that only the use of artillery can cause a certain degree of damage to the white-clothed army in Yangguan Fort.

In the past, the whole country of Dajin was very contemptuous of firearms. Nurhachi once stressed that the Dajin Kingdom has always been a country based on mounted archery, and it must not allow firearms to impact the status of bows and arrows. Only by mastering superb riding and archery kung fu can the Dajin Kingdom continue to survive and develop. He carried out this belief in the minds of everyone around him. Therefore, after they seized the firearms of the Ming army, they either buried them or destroyed them, and they would not be put into use at all.

However, in several battles with the white-clothed army, Amin regretfully discovered that the bows and arrows of the Dajin army were only slaughtered in front of the muskets of the white-clothed army. It is completely impossible to defeat the white-clothed army with bows and arrows. Unless he wants to fight. Helpless, he had to start paying attention to firearms. Otherwise, the Dajin army would have to continue to be slaughtered. As for Nurhachi's beliefs, he could only abandon them temporarily. It is estimated that Nurhachi himself, in the face of the powerful muskets of the white-clothed army, will soon abandon his beliefs.

"Who knows, what kind of musket the White Coats use?" Eyi also asked the most important questions of everyone. Nurhachi wanted to ask this question too, but he was too embarrassed to speak. As the lord of Dajin Kingdom, it seems a bit rude to ask such a question bluntly. Eyidu just opened his mouth to help him solve this embarrassment.

There is no doubt that the muskets equipped by the white-clothed army are definitely something that all the Dajin army has never seen. Among the muskets that the Dajin Army has touched, there is definitely no such powerful musket. Otherwise, where would the Ming army in Liaodong be completely defeated so quickly? Judging from the wounds on the corpses of the warriors of the Dajin Army who were killed, almost all of them were fatal with one shot. Even the fierce white tooth horn, after being shot by a shot, died in Huangquan. After dissecting a number of corpses, the high-level officials of the Dajin Kingdom found that the projectiles that were fired into the human body of the Dajin Army were also completely unseen by them.

However, no one could answer the question of Eyidu. In fact, everyone present would like to know the answer to this question. It's a pity that none of the people present knew the answer to this question. In the previous battles, the White Coats did not leave any weapons and equipment behind. Not even a single broken musket remained.

However, the bullet casings of Han-style rifles left a lot, but they were ignored by the high-level of Dajin State. They didn't think there was any close connection between the large number of bullet casings left at the scene and the muskets of the white-clothed soldiers. There is no way, all this is beyond their understanding, and they can't understand it. And Dajinguo's intelligence network in the interior has not been completely spread, and it is absolutely impossible to spy on the power of Han-style rifles.

Hu Erhan pondered and said, "Perhaps, you should find a way to investigate?" ”

This so-called way is naturally unscrupulous. Whether it is by violent means or by means of inducement, it is necessary to find a way to obtain the firearms and equipment of the white-clothed army. The best way to do this is to get a musket that is being used by the white-clad army and give it to the craftsmen to study carefully. However, Huerhan himself knew that it was very difficult.

The current white-clothed army is all confined to the Yangguan Fort, and it seems that there is no intention of coming out at all. It is impossible for the Dajin Army to arrange people to be caught alive. As for sending people to the interior to spy on the secret equipment of the white-clothed army, whether it can succeed or not is not said for the time being, just because the time spent on the road alone is not something that Dajin can afford. Perhaps, by the time they get accurate information, the murderous white-clothed army has already conquered Liaoyang.

Tang Gu said: "Let's attack, let's test it, right?" ”

Amin shook his head and said, "There's no need for this. If we continue to attack, there will be no benefit except for increasing casualties in vain. ”

Tang Gu smiled cruelly and said meaningfully: "There is no need to lose our personnel, just drive the Han people up." If the whites shoot, we'll be studying their musket secrets from the side. If they don't shoot, we'll take the opportunity to take the Yangguan Fort. No matter how the white army reacts, we will not suffer. ”

Amin didn't speak. Tang Gugu's suggestion was actually what he was going to say. He had long wanted to push the Han soldiers up to consume the ammunition of the white-clothed army. He has even gathered a large number of Han Chinese soldiers. However, such a suggestion, coming out of Tang Gugu's mouth, is obviously a little better. After all, he is Nurhachi's own son!

Sure enough, Nurhachi nodded casually and agreed to Tang Gu's suggestion. Tang Gu immediately turned around and went to execute. He didn't need to prepare much, because Amin had everything ready. Soon after, nearly 1,000 Han Chinese surrendered to Yangguan Fort and slowly groped their way over. Behind them were two or three hundred Jianyu archers.

Liu Chuang saw this scene in the telescope, and couldn't help but say fiercely: "These dogs are too unremarkable, so they let the Ming army come forward!" Those Ming army soldiers are also true, don't they know that they are being cannon fodder for Jianyu? ”

Xu Xingxia said quietly: "The battlefield is inherently unscrupulous, what kind of scratch? Calm down. No matter who they were, they resolutely fought back when they approached Yangguan Fort without permission. Liu Chuang, you organize dozens of sharpshooters to specially call the Jianyu archers behind. Everyone, pay attention, and put the enemy close to about ten feet before shooting. ”

The distance between the Han people and the Yangguan Fort was ten zhang, and the archers who built the captives were exactly about thirty zhang away from the Yangguan Fort. At this distance, the Han-style rifles could easily knock them over, and their bows and arrows could not effectively damage Yangguan Fort. Therefore, this trick of Jianyu is almost useless for Yangguan Fort.
