Chapter 70 Sand Table
Hong Chengchou's eyes were almost falling off. For him, a man from the Ming Dynasty, he watched a red cannon on the city wall. After a shot, the earthen house under the city wall was penetrated. Then, with a "boom!", the earthen house was instantly destroyed. What a terrifying scene?
Hong Chengchou has experienced many battles and has never experienced anything. He has passed by the god of death countless times. The tragic battlefield was accompanied by blood and blood. However, this was the first time he saw such a terrifying scene like before his eyes.
Hong Chengchou had heard of the Flower Bomb, but that thing is very easy to explode. Besides, even if it is fired, the power of the Flower Bomb will be quite limited after it explodes.
And the shell in front of him actually amplified the power of the flowering shell ten times. If it was bombed into the enemy camp with one shot, wouldn’t it be destroyed?
Zhu Cilang smiled slightly and turned to look at him: "Governor Hong, how is this cannon compared to Jiannu's."
Hong Chengchou's lips trembled, and pointed to the earthen house under the city, still in shock: "This, what kind of cannon is this?"
"It's just the Red Barbarian Cannon, but I have only made some small changes. Unfortunately, time is limited. If I give me a few more months, Jiannu will have to go back to their Changbai Mountain to eat grass."
Hong Chengchou shook his head hard. He looked outside the city and then inside the city. Everything seemed so unreal, and it was more like a bizarre dream. How could it be? How could the crown prince build a city in just over twenty days? And how could it be that the power of the Red Barbarian Cannon was brought to an incredible level.
"Your Highness, can this cannon be placed in the cities of our Liaodong soldiers?" Hong Chengchou asked with anticipation.
Zhu Cilang nodded: "Yes, but I have to wait to defeat Jiannu before talking. Let's go back to the camp, I have something to talk about when I have something to do."
This crown prince was so weird that everyone developed a great curiosity with him. Why did Zhu Cilang know so much and why did he know so much? He kept saying that Jiannu would come to attack Yizhou in March, and everyone was suspicious at that time.
Hong Chengchou was also disdainful of this. Judging from the news he brought in carefully, Huang Taiji did not make any move at all. But as time went by, bad news finally came.
According to reports, Huang Taiji began to make big moves in Shengjing, and he began to prepare for the southern invasion. When Hong Chengchou received this news, he was really shocked. Unexpectedly, Zhu Cilang's words came true. He said that Jiannu came to attack in March, and it seemed that this was true.
So he left Songshan station and came to Yizhou with great speed, just to persuade Zhu Cixuan to go back. Even if he was tied up in such a dangerous city of Yizhou, he had to tie Zhu Cixuan back to Beijing.
Who knew that, I never expected that Yizhou City would be like a world. Not only was the city solid, but I also saw the power of this cannon in the north of the city, which was a huge shocking force that hit the soul.
"Xia Dechao, remember this shooting distance. According to the length of the distance, in the remaining two shells, the small gap is when used."
Hong Chengchou was confused when he heard this, but Xia Dechao bowed: "The official is the one who takes the order."
Zhu Cilang is talking about the length of the fuse, and the real fuse is written too long. If it is shortened by one frame, the shot that hits the earthen house under the city will not be delayed, but the middle one will explode immediately.
Zhu Cilang's camp was in Yizhou City. Although this little prince was young, he actually ruled these ten thousand subordinates very easily. Not only because he was the crown prince, but because these subordinates were very respectful of him.
How to say it, Hong Chengchou was the governor of Ji Liao and the largest official in the Guanning Jin defense line. He could clearly feel the respect these soldiers had for Zhu Cixuan.
Even what surprised Hong Chengchou even more was that a powerful general like Cao Bianjiao was actually promising to Zhu Cilang.
In Zhu Cilang's camp, there is a huge sand table in the middle. On the sand table is the situation in the entire Liaodong. This sand table is made extremely exquisitely, to be precise.
Shisanshan, Daling River, Xiaoling River, Youtunwei, Jinzhou, Songshan Zhongtunsou, Xingshan, Daxingbao, Gaoqiao, Sunjiawa, Bijiashan, etc., are all very finely made. Even the mountain roads can be clearly visible.
There is a small flag in each place, with place names and defense lines marked.
Further north, it is Jiannu's territory. Unfortunately, the sand table has become more vague from the vicinity of Shengjing. This is a place where the Ming Dynasty's intelligence cannot penetrate, and it is very difficult to obtain the enemy's mountain and river names.
Neither Zhu Cixuan nor Hong Chengchou had detailed maps of Jiannu, but Huangtaiji had defense maps of passes in various Ming Dynasty. I have to admire the terribleness of Jiannu.
However, this is not important to Zhu Ciyang. The most important thing at the moment is to take the initiative in the Battle of Songjin and obtain the victory of this battle. As for entering the hinterland of Jiannu, Zhu Ciyang had never thought about it.
Taking the Ming Dynasty, which is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, it is still too late to protect itself. As for how to destroy Huangtaiji in the future to eliminate future troubles, it is unknown how many years later.
"Governor Hong, come and see." Zhu Cixuan pointed to the sign on the sand table and continued: "This is Yizhou. Huangtaiji is an extremely difficult guy. He has been frustrated in Ningyuan and Jinzhou. This person will definitely teach a lesson and formulate a combat plan to force him to surrender for a long time. Yizhou is located on the banks of the Daling River between Guangning and Jinzhou. The terrain is open and the land is fertile. Building cities here is actually a front-line position for attacking Jin. At the same time, once attacking Jin, this place will be an excellent logistics supply base."
Hong Chengchou looked at the map on the sand table and listened carefully to Zhu Cixuan's opinions. Zhu Cixuan continued: "Huangtaiji will divide the Qing soldiers besieged in two squads and replace them in one period of month. At the same time, the Qing soldiers will complete the harvest of crops outside Jinzhou City, and sweep away the Ming army's strongholds outside Jinzhou, and completely cut off the connection between our Ming army stationed in Jinzhou. After that, he will take further measures to build a camp outside Jinzhou City, line up the city, dig deep trenches outside the camp, and build a trench outside the camp, and there are deep trenches connected between the battalions, which will surround Jinzhou without any traffic."
Zhu Cixuan re-deduced the Battle of Songjin in history on the sand table. All this only made Hong Chengchou stunned. When he saw the platoon tactics that Zhu Cixuan mentioned, Hong Chengchou was even more frightened.
Huge fear began to overwhelm Hong Chengchou because the tactics used by Zhu Cixuan were insidious and effective. What's even more fatal is that this is Huang Taiji's fighting style.
