Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    I originally wanted to drag down Sichuan's economy and use a protracted war to deal with Lu Haoshan, but I didn't expect that it actually helped my opponent. Unknowingly, I laid "nails" on my own territory. The longer I dragged on, the more passive I became. Rao is a model essay  Cheng couldn't sit still anymore.  Dorgon understood what Fan Wencheng meant. Under the influence of firearms, the importance of traditional passes was constantly weakening. The more rapid the development of firearms, the lighter the weight of traditional passes. At this point, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was already far behind Sichuan.  , because all the most advanced firearms in hand are purchased from Sichuan, and there is no benefit in delaying it for a long time. The logistics line cannot be destroyed, the order to kill Sichuan is of little effect, and the instigation of rebellion in Tibet has been bloody suppressed. Even in military operations, it has continued  At a disadvantage, morale has been declining.  In the past, the Manchu and Qing cavalry roamed the world, and the Eight Banners soldiers were proud, confident, and fearless of death. To put it in one sentence: Even if you defeat me temporarily, sooner or later you will be stepped on by me. There is no doubt that I will be second best.  No one dared to recognize the momentum of the first, but now it has changed. Many Manchu Eight Banners showed fear when they heard about the Three Tigers of Shu.  Although it takes up a lot of resources, most of the troops are in Shaanxi, so there is insufficient control in other places. More and more opposition voices appear in the lands where the control was originally insufficient. In addition, the effect of the Killing Order is still there.  Fermentation, some wealthy families in Shu not only sent out headhunting teams, but also secretly sent people to the Central Plains to purchase the heads of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. In June alone, there were more than ten attacks and murders in Jianzhou, the hometown. The worst one  Niu Lu of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty rebelled, killed more than 300 people in a village, and then fled with the leader by boat.  Thinking about it now, I really can't afford to delay it. If I delay it any longer, it is a big unknown whether there will be unrest in the rear. The continued low morale is not conducive to the needs of the war. As a loyal lackey and the number one think tank of the Manchu Qing Dynasty,  , Fan Wencheng is not aimless.  Fan Wencheng thought of it, and Dorgon naturally thought of it. After hearing this, he was silent for a moment, and soon said loudly: "Okay. It's time to show them the power of my Manchu warriors." Dorgon was already thinking about whether to fight or not.  He hesitated between fights, wanting to end the battle early, but felt that he was not prepared enough, so he was always undecided.  It's okay now. Since I have no choice, it's better to have a decisive battle and untie the knot in my heart. Dorgon's mood has improved a lot.  "Let's fight. I've wanted to teach these Sichuan dogs a lesson for a long time." Azig said with a nonchalant expression.  Dorgon stood up and said, "Okay, now that everyone is not here, let's go back to Hanzhong and discuss it carefully." After that, he turned to Shang Kexi and said, "General Shang, although we didn't get Hao Feng's head this time,  level, but he annihilated the scout team and discovered the secret of the Sichuan Army's watchtower. His merits outweighed his faults. He was recorded as a major meritorious service, and the entire army was rewarded with a hundred thousand taels of silver. Well, General Shang also discussed dealing with the Sichuan Army this time.  Let's go together." It is the consistent practice of the Manchus to make rewards and punishments clear. Not only are rewards and punishments clear, but they are never in arrears. I think back then, Shang Kexi heard that the Manchus never delayed their soldiers' pay, so they joined the Manchus and sat in a position where Shang Kexi was responsible for the money.  I don¡¯t think much of it, one hundred thousand taels seems like a lot.  However, there were not many soldiers left under his command. Compared with the silver reward, the last sentence made Shang Kexi's eyes light up.  This is an invitation to join the decision-making team, which means that your status has been improved.  Can you be unhappy?  "Yes, yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Shang Kexi immediately said respectfully.  "Not bad, not bad" was when Dorgon was determined to change his strategy, look for opportunities to compete with the Sichuan army, and no longer use the "drag tactics".  Lu Haoshan appeared at the Kotougang Lookout, touched the walls that had been blasted into pits, and said with satisfaction.  The Qing army fired hundreds of cannons, but the lookout was as solid as iron and as stable as a rock. 103 people fought against more than 3,000 people without losing, and killed more than 500 people without any casualties. No one would believe it.  It's scary because of the solid concrete fortifications here.  "That's right," Li Dingguo said happily: "The enemy will attack. As long as there is no door inside, they will have to go through a lot of effort even if they want to get in. Especially the shooting hole, which is wide on the inside and narrow on the outside.  They can't get in, but we can aim at them one by one. "Zhong Huan, the tower leader, said happily: "Even if these dogs are fast, we still have a trick to use." "What trick?" Li Dingguo said.  He asked with a curious look on his face.  Zhong Huan glanced at Lu Haoshan with some embarrassment. After getting Lu Haoshan's approval, he leaned close to Li Dingguo's ear and whispered: "General Li, in addition to sharpened wooden stakes, this protective trench also contains kerosene. When the switch is pressed, it will  It will be injected. Once the rocket is fired, a wall of fire will be formed immediately. If the enemy dares to come, they will be burned into roast pigs. This is the first one; the second one is surrounded by hidden lines of grenades. When the line is pulled, it will explode. When the time comes, look out.  There must be no one alive within the fifteen feet of the tower; the last trick is also the most mysterious one, that is, there is an exit underground, and the exit is on the edge of the cliff. When the time comes, you can escape by hanging the rope. This is?It is only used in times of danger. Unfortunately, the time is too short. It would be perfect if we did not build an exit at the foot of the mountain.  "There are so many functions, Li Dingguo was dumbfounded. "Sir, let's build a few more, so we don't have to be afraid of these cleaning dogs.  Hao Feng said through gritted teeth. The 50-person elite scout team lost 47 people in one fell swoop, and their heads were cut off. They were all brothers who had been through life and death. When he thought of this, Hao Feng was so angry that he could not speak.  Come. Lu Haoshan shook his head and said: "No, the Qing soldiers have suffered so many casualties, and they have seen the power of these watchtowers. They will not give us this opportunity easily. Just watch, the big battle will come soon.  " "Just fight, I'm afraid they won't succeed, I've wanted to fight for a long time.  "Hao Feng rubbed his hands and said with a confident expression. Li Dingguo said thoughtfully: "It's time to decide the outcome.  " Others only saw the glory of the Sichuan Army, but Li Dingguo, who stayed with Lu Haoshan, knew the price of maintaining this glory. The road to Shu is difficult to reach the sky. The road conditions in Sichuan are good, but the road out of the Sichuan Mountains is high and steep, and it is extremely difficult.  Take grain as an example. If a cart of grain is transported from Guangyuan to Shaanxi, it would be good if half of the grain is left after eating horse chews. Halfway through, it has to deal with tests such as overturning, falling off a cliff, being exposed to wind and rain, etc. The cost is extremely high, because the cunning Dole  Gun adopted the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the country. Food, grass, horses, clothing, ammunition, and even needles and threads all needed to be transported from Sichuan. The transportation pressure can be imagined. In June alone, the number of deaths due to transportation reached 28, and even more horses.  , had it not been for Sichuan's strong strength and Lu Haoshan's preparations several years in advance, Dorgon would have been dragged away. This would have been the price of the expedition. Qiu Feng's ambush was an accident, but his master was so outstanding.  Building such a strong watchtower in the local area was not a whim, but a careful consideration. The purpose was to force the Qing Dynasty to give up the protracted war and force him to take the initiative to find a decisive battle with the Sichuan Army. Otherwise, he would hide blindly and the Sichuan Army's logistics would be stretched again.  It was very difficult. Besides, it was good news for the Sichuan Army that the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty took the initiative to abandon the fortified city and fight in the wild. Zhong Huan said with a look of disdain: "Our army has been victorious in recent battles and won the battle against the Qing Dynasty.  The army has no temper, and now they have all fled after hearing the news. It is not known how much morale they have left.  " These guys are all confident. Lu Haoshan nodded secretly. Firearms are important, but the quality of personnel cannot be ignored. As far as war is concerned, talents are the main body. Just like the army of the Ming Dynasty, it clearly has artillery, blunderbuss, and seven-eye weapons.  Guns, Folang machine guns and other firearms were unable to defeat the Manchu cavalry who only responded to the enemy with bows, arrows and scimitars. Without him, they had lost their fighting spirit. Hao Feng curiously touched the pits and pits.  Said: "Sir, I just heard that these fortifications are divided into bomb resistance levels. It sounds extremely mysterious. What is going on with these, can you tell me?  " "Dingguo, tell me.  "Lu Haoshan said with a smile. "Yes, sir.  "Li Dingguo responded, and then explained to Hao Feng and others: "These constructions are different from our usual constructions. In addition to masonry, cement, steel bars, sand, etc. are also used. The proportions and structures of the materials can be adjusted as needed.  , mainly divided into three levels, the first level is able to withstand the bombing of grenades, the second level is able to withstand the bombing of the new Tiger Crouching Cannon, and the third level is able to withstand the bombing of the new general.  Zhong Huan quickly asked: "What level is this watchtower?"  ""Level 2" After Li Dingguo finished speaking, he saw that the two of them were a little disbelieving, so he smiled and explained: "Level 2 is the new Tiger Crouching Cannon we have as a reference. The old Tiger Cannon used by Shang Kexi has the same gunpowder.  If it has not been improved, its power is only a little bit stronger than our grenades, so it cannot be broken no matter what.  "It turns out that this is the case, and everyone suddenly realized it. Zhong Huan said curiously: "Sir, is it troublesome to build the third level?  "The new general cannon is more powerful than the Hongyi cannon. Ordinary defense will definitely not work. Lu Haoshan didn't bother to explain so much. He nodded and said, "It's quite troublesome, but it's not necessary."  " After that, he said with a serious face: "After this battle, the Qing army must have made new moves. You all opened your eyes wide. I want to know every move of Dorgon and the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Do you understand?  ?  " " Got the order.  "As soon as they saw that their governor was not joking, everyone responded loudly. Lu Haoshan guessed right. After the battle of Kotougang, Dorgon really couldn't sit still. The intelligence returned by the scouts and Xizuo were all based on the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing dynasties.  Regarding the dispatch of troops and generals, Dorgon dispatched more troops to prevent the Sichuan army from building any more military fortifications, and at the same time dispatched troops and generals. Even the elite soldiers and generals stationed in Tongbing were ordered to assemble in the Hanzhong area. For a time, there was a large number of troops near Hanzhong.  Increase. The gun has not been released, the bow has not been drawn, and the sword has not been fired.Before it even comes out of its sheath, Shaanxi is already filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke (To be continued.)?¡­
