Chapter 210 New tactics forced out

Qian Qianyi quickly drafted the Ming Education Act based on Li Bin's guidance.

Sheng Xiaobo also came to him. He led the Shandong rebellion to combat him. The army's mobilization and logistics preparations have been completed. Now we are here to report to Li Bin.

A large number of staff members stood in the war room next to the Prime Minister's Mansion, lying on the sand table in Shandong terrain.

Li Bin looked around for a while and was surprised by their imitation ability.

These guys directly brought Li Bin's unethical way of dealing with the Annan Ruan tribe.

Liu Zeqing is now entrenched in Caozhou, east and south corners of Shandong. This area was originally a place of disasters and the people were poor, but he gathered a large army of 500,000. It was a huge momentum and was still attacking all sides, looting people and supplies.

Fortunately, this ghost place is poor enough, and everyone who can run away has run away. Li Bin and Zheng Zhilong's continued immigration in Shandong has moved out more than one million people. It was not because of the financial support behind it, and Liu Ze could not stand it early in the morning.

Sheng Xiaobo and his team prepared to encircle the ten sides, dividing the eleven divisions into four teams, and encircling them from east, west, south, and north to Caozhou.

The same is true for setting up a formation first and then raid at the same time.

Li Bin looked at the posture they were showing, knocked on the sand table for a long time, and said uncertainly: "Why don't we drive them east?"

Qufu was on the east side. Of course Sheng Xiaobo knew what he wanted to do and nodded: "No problem, let's just get out of the east side."

Li Bin stared at the sand table and looked at it: "Forget it, I have to let them cross the canal, and I have to pass through Juye and Jining in the middle. I don't know how many people will be harmed. While they are just starting now, hurry up and shovel them away. Those who should immigrate should be loaded with ships and those who should be damned should be loaded with coffins. Grab the trial that leads the way and get more evidence."

Below Caozhou is the Yellow River, and across the river is the Kaocheng in Henan.

In the past few days, a large number of plungers drove up from the downstream and began to unload a group of troops wearing red clothes on the north bank of the Yellow River.

These are the three teachers of Zhou Yuji, Yan Yingyuan and Zhang Huangyan.

The more than half a year of fighting experience in Southeast Asia made them all dark and thin.

Yan Yingyuan was young and angry: "Damn Liu Zeqing, is he so confused? He dares to raise troops to rebel now?"

Anyone else is so popular. How fat is the fight against Nanzhang? No matter how population and supplies are, everything can be taken back. The court takes half of it and half of the army. Didn’t you see that everyone has been in the ghost place for more than half a year without any complaints?

Now, I gave the fat meat to Zheng Zhilong, and I have to come back to play with Liu Zeqing.

Zhou Yuji and others believed that if they dared to scrape the ground like this in Shandong, the Prime Minister and Chief of Staff would definitely kill all the officers of their entire division without mercy.

Their Southern Army was responsible for Zhou Yuji. Although he thought the same as Yan Yingyuan, he could not say that, so he had to comfort him: "We will settle this kind of mob in half a month, so that it will not delay the brothers making money."

He doesn't even believe this, and no one knows that the Prime Minister has not found a good reason.

Now that Liu Zeqing is willing to jump out and be this pioneer, the Prime Minister must have killed him and scared those monkeys, and then take the opportunity to carry out the Ming Dynasty military reform.

The Ming New Army looked much more majestic than before. They were walking in the forests in Nanyang, and in order to be less conspicuous, they wore gray military uniforms.

When they returned to the Ming Dynasty, they all changed into red clothes and red pants, and the entire firearms army did not need armor. Everyone wore a red soft hat. At first glance, they saw a red ocean.

Although he did not have enough animal power and did not have the tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling t

It is early November and the weather is already very cold, but sufficient food and the thick cotton jacket on their bodies have given them enough calories. The white air exhaled by people is connected into a long dragon and extends to Caozhou.

As soon as I arrived near Cao County, a vanguard army came to report: "Team Commander Zhou, a large number of enemy troops were found in the county town ahead. The number of people is estimated to be about 100,000."

The three teachers knew that this was going to catch the enemy. Liu Zeqing could not have gathered 500,000 people. He must have captured the surrounding county towns and then stationed in a scattered manner.

The surroundings have been damaged. In this kind of weather, with the ability of the rebels, it is impossible to go out to move. Zhou Yuji led his army to the foot of Cao County, and met several teams of rafting provocates.

"We have too few horses, and we can't even catch these few racquets."

Li Bin's positioning of the new Ming army was to guard, clear and assist, and he was not prepared to let them fight mobile.

Except for officers and correspondents above the regiment level, the scouts had horses and riders, and everyone else was on their own. Now, looking at their own racquets, they could only watch the other party run to the city.

Zhou Yuji shook his head: "What are you afraid of? In this kind of weather, the other party dares not send a brigade to the event. Look, they have less clothes than we used to wear. There is no way out except waiting for death in the city."

Zhou Yuji is an old Ming army. The former Ming army froze to death every day in this weather, let alone the rebels with worse equipment. It is estimated that only Liu Zeqing's core army can be equipped with the level of the previous Ming army.

"I'll go to the east gate, Commander Yan guards the south gate, Commander Zhang guards the west gate, and leave the north gate for them and let them run to Caozhou."

Zhou Yuji simply assigned a task. Such enemies who were hiding in the city were much easier to deal with than those who could burrow in the forest in the South Palm.

The cannons there could only be thrown into the camp and fight against the enemy with muskets and bayonets. Hundreds of cannons were launched here, and Zhou Yuji believed that he could break this small county town in one day.

"Report to the division commander, no other party's artillery was found!"

Zhou Yuji and the others did not have drones, so they could only cut wood and build a watchtower.

Zhou Yuji took the telescope and looked at the heavily guarded city wall opposite, muttering: "Liu Zeqing's subordinates are still talented, no wonder he was sent to guard Cao County."

The other two division commanders also discovered this problem and sent someone to ask for instructions on how to fight.

The three of them had a total of 35,000 people, and the other side had 100,000 people. If they really wanted to build siege equipment according to the previous method, if the ant attacker attacked the city, there would be no time to say that the casualties would be a problem.

"First use artillery to see if the opponent can be knocked out of the city, or the city gate can be broken, and rush in and fight with them are better than siege."

Although solid bullets can knock down such rammed earth city walls, it will definitely not happen in a short time. After a few blows, Zhou Yuji found that the city gate was blocked.

Moreover, as soon as the cannon fired, all the soldiers on the opposite city wall hid. As soon as the fire was stopped, they ran up again, not giving Zhou Yuji a chance to grab the city wall.

Zhou Yuji, who was in a good temper, was so angry that he cursed: "Damn it, with this ability, you can become a division commander in the new army, but now you are mixed with Liu Zeqing's rebels."

Liu Zeqing also became general in Liaodong step by step. He said that he was not capable of being unable to do so. It was just that once a general began to greed for enjoyment and became addicted to the beauty of money, no matter how capable he was, he would be lost by desire.

Are treacherous ministers and fools in history really stupid? It’s not that they just can’t bear to give up the benefits they get. There has never been a shortage of people who sacrifice their lives and money in this world.

The person in charge of guarding Cao County was Liu Benshu, the adopted son of Liu Zeqing. He has been with Liu Zeqing for twenty years and has learned all his skills and has not learned any bad habits yet. Otherwise, Liu Zeqing would not have placed him in this important place by the Yellow River.

Zhou Yuji scratched his head and simply ordered: "There is no need to be too many to order the engineer battalion to build a ladder, just have twenty or thirty frames."

Zhou Yuji has no time to rush with the other party here. The advantage of the new rapid-fire cannon is that it launches quickly and adjusts the direction of the muzzle, so that the battlefield application will be more flexible.

It only took an hour to put twenty or thirty ladders in the engineering camp.

Zhou Yuji called a regiment commander: "As soon as the cannon fires, your people will take the ladder to the city wall. I will watch the place you run to from behind, and then let the cannons shoot into the city. It is enough for you to just command your people to climb up the city. If there is a camp on the city wall, we will definitely win."

When the regiment commander heard this, his face turned dark. He asked his regiment to run away with the shells. If something was wrong, he would be killed by his artillery.

In the past army, he had to doubt whether Zhou Yuji wanted to kill him, but now he didn't dare to think so at all.

While all commands of the commander on the battlefield must be strictly enforced, the military police will also review each order afterwards. If the military police think you are meaningless or deliberately ask the soldiers to die, you can wait to go to the military court.

The leader had no choice but to follow the command to execute first.

The highest level of leading the team to charge on the battlefield is the battalion commander. When the three battalion commanders heard the order, their faces became darker, but they could only follow the orders.

If you rush forward, you may still make meritorious contributions, and resisting orders will only lead to a dead end.

The cannons quickly rang out, the first battalion carried the ladder, and the second and third battalions followed behind, rushing towards the city wall frantically.

There is no enemy on the other side that can threaten himself. Everyone is praying for gods and Buddhas in the sky to not be hit by their own cannons behind them.

"Put up the ladder and climb up!"

Everyone no longer cared about the shells flying over their heads, and they set up a ladder and started climbing up.

Although there are only less than thirty ladders, it will take only a few minutes to climb two or three hundred people without anyone being disturbed.

When the first battalion was ready for battle on the city wall and the second battalion also began to climb up, the artillery behind him also stopped.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. They would rather fight the rebels rushing up from the opposite side than be threatened by their own artillery.

After all, the rebels are just rebels. Even if a general with strong organizational capabilities is found, it cannot change their lack of food and clothing and lack of training.
