1356 War

Wu Sangui was also excited when he listened to Zu Dashou's words! You must know that ambitions were cultivated bit by bit.

At first, the Guanning Army Group might have tried its best to fight against the Later Jin Dynasty. But later they found that they had self-respecting and held the court hostage, they could get a lot of food and salary from the court! So their desires began to expand step by step!

You should know that the Guanning Army Group almost controls the land around Shanhaiguan and most of the Liaodong. Although most of the land is now taken away by the Qing army, the current land they control is close to the land of a province! A large number of people are farming, mining, and logging for them. They can also obtain cattle, sheep and war horses from the grassland! It can be said that the Guanning Army Group has long become a behemoth!

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed and all the heroes in the world stood together! It was impossible for Wu Sangui to say that he had no ambition! It was just that they were now sandwiched between the Qing army and the Ming Dynasty and had always lacked room for their display.

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui immediately said, "Uncle, what are your plans?"

Zu Dashou said, "It's just the saying just now, just killing people with a knife! This time we go to war with Shandong soldiers. We must see the Qing Dynasty and let Prince Dorgon see our sincerity! In other words, it's okay to pay some casualties, but our core strength must be protected. Then, when we fight with Shandong soldiers until we are exhausted, the Qing army will inevitably come out in full swing. If the Qing army wins, we will naturally enter Shandong; if the Qing army fails, then they will be even more inseparable from us! So no matter the victory or defeat of the Qing army, the first thing we have to do is to gather the people and expand our strength!"

After thinking carefully for a long time, Wu Sangui nodded slowly and said, "What my uncle said makes sense, so let's do it like this!"

Zu Dashou said: "So when Shandong soldiers and horses start attacking these days, don't be stingy with manpower! In addition to our old foundation, all the others will take turns to join us! In addition, we must recruit young and strong people from the people to help defend the city. Use their lives to consume the strength of Shandong soldiers and horses! But what I am worried about is that if those Shandong soldiers and horses also drive the Dashun Army to attack, it would be a troublesome!"

Wu Sangui Hehe

He laughed and said, "Uncle, don't worry! They dare not do this! After all, the Dashun army has a different ambition, how could it be possible to obey Shandong soldiers? At most, it is possible to recruit a small number of warriors at high prices! The other Dashun army captured them at most to build roads, transport equipment, etc., so there is no need to worry!"

Zu Dashou thought about it and thought that what Wu Sangui said made sense, so he said, "Since that's the case, you can arrange the rest! In short, we have to show our fundamental power and let the Shandong soldiers and Qing army take a look and know that we are not soft persimmons! Otherwise, no matter who joins in the future, we will not take us seriously! As long as we beat them in pain, they will seriously negotiate terms with us! In short, both of our Wu Zu family have to rely on you!"

Wu Sangui nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely fight this battle!"

After a long talk with Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, who had recovered his confidence, began to mobilize troops and arrange city defense that night.

It has to be said that Wu Sangui was indeed a genius of war. When he discovered that the Hanghu could withstand the splashing bricks and stones, he collected a large number of quilts from the people, supported them with wooden strips as a frame, and fixed them behind the city wall. In this way, as long as the Hanghu was not directly hit by the shells, it could effectively reduce the casualties caused by the splashing bricks and stones of the shells.

Hanging the door was an ancient city guard equipment. Mao Yuanyi of the Ming Dynasty said in "Wu Bei Zhi 3: Picture of Hanging the door hanging curtain": "Hanging the door hanging curtain is the first priority of the door. Without these two, thieves and thousands of crossbows are launched at the same time, and the city cannot be kept. In the past, General Lei's face was six arrows, which was less. Now, he planned to make a wooden frame for each door, with two feet inside, planted on the city, and a rotation axis is placed outside, close to the edges of the two doors, and a cladding can be used to put on a felt blanket or a quilt. Both are wet with water and cover the door directly, so that arrows cannot enter."

At the same time, Wu Sangui also creatively created a tactic of using a small number of lookouts to defend the city and most of the troops avoid shelling. This method has been repeatedly used in wars now.

This method is to only keep a small number of soldiers on the city wall as observation posts, and most of the soldiers are hidden in the Tibetan soldiers' cave. Once the enemy rushed up, when they were close to the distance where artillery could not be used, the observation post would call the soldiers in the Tibetan soldiers' cave to rush to the top of the city to fight. In this way, Wu Sangui was not

Master learned the essence of trench warfare!

But what Wu Sangui didn't know was that this tactic is suitable for modern army and is definitely not suitable for cold weapons troops with swords and guns! He will pay a heavy price soon!

Both sides mobilized their troops at night, and then they rested quietly, waiting for the beginning of the real war the next day.

As a large sum of money, the first batch of Dashun Army prisoners who climbed the city were given extra wine and meat, and they all had a lot of fun! After all, a large number of them will die under the city tomorrow! It is acceptable to have a crazy night before they die.

As soon as the sky was dawn, both sides entered a state of fighting! The soldiers in the city and under the city tried to straighten their bodies, polish their armor and swords and guns, and build good flags to intimidate the other party!

But the difference is that Liu Pei's soldiers under the city are really full of morale! The Guanning army at the top of the city was bombarded for a few days, so there was no real morale at all, just to behave like a show!

As Liu Pei's army slowly moved forward, the chariots loaded with artillery, the chariots specially transported infantry to the city wall, and other siege equipment came forward! For a moment, people shouted and neighed!

When they arrived, a long horn sounded! Everyone immediately calmed down! At this moment, the whole city was quiet, and even the livestock were infected by this silence and no longer made any sound! There was only a sound of wind left in the world, full of a solemn atmosphere!

After a moment, with a loud "dong" sound, a series of drums rang out, and the battle was officially launched!

The soldiers under the city cheered loudly at the top of their lungs, cheering for the soldiers about to set out! The shouts of more than 100,000 people were shocking!

As the drums sounded, was the artillery the first to launch an attack? After resting for a night, the artillery members excitedly fired the first row of artillery at the beginning of the battle!
