    At this time, the Houjin Army on top of Haizhou City was still engaged in blocking fire. From time to time, Dongjiang officers and soldiers carrying earth and rocks fell under their firepower. The eye-catching white feathers on the heads of the fire-fighting battalion engineering team soldiers attracted their attention.  .  Just in front of Ouyang Xin's eyes, the firefighting battalion's queue carrying equipment was hit by the Tiger Crouching Cannon. Once, an engineer officer fell on his face without saying a word, his body still remaining on the moat, and his head rushed into the water.  Another firefighting battalion officer behind him bent down and picked up the command flag in his hand and took over the traffic control work. Now the firefighting battalion's engineering team has begun to direct road traffic and strengthen the moat that has been basically filled in.  one time.  The other two soldiers dragged the dead officer out of the water. The officer was laid flat on the ground. The soldier first controlled the water on his helmet, then straightened the helmet rope around his neck. He also untied and retied the helmet rope.  He carried it on his back.  "This engineering team is really useful." After listening to the reports from front-line officers, Dongjiang Commander Mao Wenlong also expressed this emotion. Today, the wall was dug three times faster than usual.  At this time, there were several continuous explosions in front. It was the engineering team of the firefighting battalion that was trying to blast black powder. As the hole continued to expand, the engineering team stuffed the entire barrel of gunpowder into the hole, hoping to speed up the blasting of the wall blank.  Disintegration progress.  General Pan had been observing the actions of the engineering team of the fire-fighting camp for a long time. When he thought he understood it, he walked straight to the wall and squeezed into a group of engineers in the fire-fighting camp and said, "Let me give it a try!"  The crank roared and the drill bit kept flying, causing soil foam to splash out from the wall. This made General Pan happier as he cranked it.  He couldn't help laughing as he stared at the drill bit that was quickly drilling into the wall blank: "Haha, this engineering team is really easy to use." In order to make the work easier, the engineering team in the fire-fighting camp only wore helmets and no armor.  The excavation teams of the Dongjiang Army, starting with General Pan, were all shirtless.  Therefore, the bows and arrows on the city always posed a certain threat to them. Ouyang Xin, who was responsible for recording data, was discussing with his two subordinates when he suddenly took two steps forward without warning.  "Damn it. I thought someone kicked me, and I was about to turn around and hit someone." Ouyang Xin rushed forward a few steps before he regained his balance. There was an arrow on his hip. His colleagues helped Ouyang Xin break the arrow tail.  He was already grinning in pain.  The firefighting camp stipulates that arrows hitting non-vital parts can only be considered minor injuries. Three arrows will count as serious injuries. Ouyang Xin stroked the location where the arrow was hit and cursed again: "Tatar. It doesn't matter if you shoot higher, such as the waist or back.  Ah or something. This way I can go down and rest even though I'm seriously injured." After hearing Ouyang Xin's words, everyone smiled. Ouyang Xin also sucked the air between her teeth and smiled, then clapped her hands and the expression on her face changed again.  Seriously: "Okay, let's continue working." After a large enough gap was opened in the city wall, Mao Wenlong's flag waved again.  "Kill, kill, sons. Beat our drums!" Kong Youde waved his horse in a big circle in the air. He held the horse under his crotch and shouted loudly, leading the way to Haizhou.  The other Dongjiang generals on both sides of Kong Youde also rode their horses forward: "Bang the drums, gentlemen. Don't fall behind others." Thousands of Dongjiang horses marched abreast to the two walls of Haizhou City amid the sound of drums.  The side fire from the ground became more and more fierce, and for the first time there was even the roar of the 18-pounder gun.  After the thunderous sound of artillery, a large ball of blood bloomed in the thick column of the Dongjiang Army.  It¡¯s just that this bloody light is just a flash in the pan. Most of the Dongjiang soldiers can only wear one helmet.  Many of them are old and worn, and some of the soldiers holding swords and shields don't even have helmets.  But their steps were unwavering, their eyes never wandered, and the expressions on their faces were so peaceful and serene, as if they were wearing the armor of the God of War.     therefore.  The color of blood disappeared in the blink of an eye, just like a gravel thrown into the rapids.  A handful of waves were set off and then quickly disappeared.  The torrent is still rushing forward. Thousands of Ming army officers and soldiers form a flow of people like a happy stream rolling in from the gap Before the sun sets in the west, the flags of the Ming army have been planted all over Haizhou City.  The arson attacks of the Jin Army were basically put out by the Dongjiang Army.  Under the gaze of everyone, a knight suddenly ran towards the gap in the Haizhou city wall with a banner and a spear and a human head on the tip of the spear.  One man and one horse were like a bolt of lightning, and in the blink of an eye they had reached the foot of the city wall.  The knight flicked his horse's head and his mount jumped from the adobe at the edge of the gap onto the city wall. The city wall at the foot of the foot was as steep as a cliff. The horse was already dead when it rushed to the edge of the city head.  In front of tens of thousands of Dongjiang officers and soldiers, the horse's body started to slip with four hooves and was about to fall backwards. At that time, the knight on the horse kept the posture of the flat-end flag and spear, and pushed his legs with both boots at the same time.  The spurs stung the horse's ribs, and the horse struggled with pain.With a leap, he jumped from the steep wall to the top of the city.  After stopping the horse, the knight held his flag spear flat and slowly turned it horizontally to draw a large circle. The place where the tip of his spear pointed became silent for a while.  Immediately, it was Kong Youde. He clenched his fist with one hand and the flagpole holding the head of the Haeju guard with both hands. At the same time, he raised his knees high to the sky, straightened his body, and got off the saddle.  After raising his arms in a V shape, Kong Youde stood in the stirrups and turned leisurely in a circle. His movements were so calm, as if he had all the time in the world.  The flag fluttered at the top of Haizhou City, and the wind brought the proud shouts of the knights: "We, the Dongjiang Army¡ª¡ª" "Mighty!~" "Mighty!~" Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty inside and outside Haizhou all raised their arms.  Drinking Huangshi is also among them, Mao Wenlong is also among them - The ancestors of China are in the sky as proof.  Whether facing Huang Taiji, or facing Yuan Chonghuan, no matter facing war, or facing conspiracy, I, Huangshi, will never let these hundreds of thousands of Liaodong children fall into the hands of Jiannu as long as I have my breath.  On May 8, the sixth year of Tianqi, the Dongjiang Army descended on Haizhou in one day.   Although the Dongjiang Town Zuoxie always thought that the clean-up work was pretty good, especially during the reign of Juehua, the level of Dongjiang Zuoxie shocked Guan Ning¡¯s allies. At that time, Huangshi¡¯s subordinates took away all the clothes of the dead.  .  You can keep the good ones for yourself.  If it's not too good, it can be washed and made into sacks. If it's not too good, it can be sold to the Japanese.  Naturally, General Yao and the others were lucky enough to visit Dongjiang Town Leftist Association to clean up the battlefield. Afterwards, they commented: "If every army was like Huang Junmen's men, there would no longer be beggars on the battlefield after the war."  " But after seeing the methods of Dongjiang Headquarters today, the officers and soldiers of the Zuo Association realized that they were still too far behind.  There was a grain warehouse that was supposed to be cleaned by the Zuo Xie, but the people from the Dongjiang headquarters shook their heads after taking a casual look at it. The headquarters officer then pulled a group of people from the headquarters from the street and came in to rework the work of the Zuo Xie without saying a word.  These are just random people who work together very well.  In front of the Zuo Xie, they dismantled all the furniture into pieces and took out all the iron nails and iron pieces. Then they pried up the stone slabs on the warehouse floor one by one and used brooms to clean up all the grain particles underneath.  stand up.  In the end, the people from the headquarters also cleaned up all the dust on the walls of the warehouse. The officer explained to the confused officers and soldiers of the Left Association: There may be some old wallpaper down there, and if you encounter such good things, you must not let them go.  .  The work attitude of the Dongjiang headquarters greatly shocked the officers and soldiers of the Left Association. After seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Left Association collectively felt guilty. When Huang Shi heard about this, he ordered the Left Association to withdraw from the battlefield cleanup work. Anyway, Mao Wenlong said it.  No matter how many seizures are cleared, Huangshi's share will not be lost.  Originally, Huang Shi estimated that he could get a lot of seizures from Haizhou, but after a lot of trouble from the Dongjiang headquarters, Huang Shi discovered that there were so many military supplies in the city, which was 30% more than the upper limit he estimated!  The Dongjiang Army Headquarters and the Zuo Xie Association went through some discussions.  In the end, all the cannons that were inconvenient to carry were owned by the Zuo Xie, while other supplies were divided according to the 28-point rule. The main department took the big head, and the Zuo Xie took the small head.  Huangshi had already given Ouyang Xin permission in advance, so the Dongjiang Headquarters obtained a few tools from the fire-fighting battalion engineering team, and the guerrillas sent a few people to send the tools to the rear for Mao Wenlong to review.  Several people demonstrated the effectiveness of the auger bit and engineer shovel in front of Mao Shuai and then handed them to Mao Wenlong one by one.  "This engineering team is really good. There are also these working guys." Mao Wenlong stroked these brand-new and shiny equipment and repeated his sigh just now. He specially inspected the gaps in Haizhou City personally. At today's speed,  The walls of most cities in Liaodong can be broken open in about a year.  Shorter time also means fewer casualties.  The more Mao Wenlong looked at these instruments, the more he liked them.  For a while, I couldn't put it down. Pan Guoyi was always listening next to the two governors. At this time, he also echoed Mao Wenlong and said: "The commander-in-chief said so well. I will think that if our department forms a large number of engineering teams and equips them all with these guys, it will be almost the same."  Everything is invincible." This statement caused laughter from the others. Geng Zhongming patted Pan Youyi on the shoulder and called him "idiot" twice.  When everyone laughed, General Pan also laughed naively, not hearing the ridicule in other people's laughter.  Since he finished digging the city wall, General Pan has been pestering Ouyang Xin to ask how these things were made, and asked him if he could recruit some craftsmen from Zuo Xie for Dongjiang Headquarters.  Ouyang Xin repeatedly explained that these engineers are not his personal property. Everything on Changsheng Island must be decided by Huangshi. As for the craftsmen, they are not part of the fire-fighting battalion engineering team.  But this General Pan always feels that Ouyang XinIn the end, Ouyang Xin was so confused by his questions that she blamed everything on Huang Shi and escaped under the pretext of treating his wounds.  Huang Shi was also bothered by him so much that he secretly asked Geng Zhongming and others about who the saint was. Only then did he find out that General Pan was a native of Shandong and was originally a servant of a wealthy family.  Brother Pan is a bit stupid and has no idea about the scale and living conditions of the Dongjiang Army. Three years ago, when he saw the grain packages on the grain transport ship in Dengzhou, he thought that joining the Dongjiang Army would give him enough to eat.  So he rashly joined the army.  However, Brother Pan is hard-working and has done dirty work for several years without any complaints. Therefore, although he has no military talent, he has accumulated merit and been promoted to the guerrilla and hereditary Qianhu in Dongjiang Town.  Generally speaking, a low-level official like General Pan should be too proud to speak out in front of Huang Shi. But General Pan doesn¡¯t seem to have a strong sense of awe for Mao Wenlong, so he has nothing to do with Huang Shi: "Deputy  Handsome. The deputy commander has the final say on whether you can sell it to some craftsmen." Huang Shi has heard this several times today. However, it is still a bit annoying to be regarded as a money-grubbing person by others, especially a small official.  Unpleasant, not to mention that Huangshi really looked down on the financial resources that a small guerrilla in Dongjiang headquarters might have.  This time, as soon as General Pan spoke in front of everyone, a group of Dongjiang Headquarters officers secretly yelled, and among them, smart-minded people like Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming rushed up to interrupt him.  Huang Shi made up his mind and called Ouyang Xin to give him some instructions.  He smiled and said to Pan Youyi: "General Pan, it's not that I don't want to part with you. It's just that it's really troublesome to build these instruments. I built a lot of things called windmills and waterwheels on Changsheng Island just to build these things. It's not just a few craftsmen."  Question" Seeing the trace of disapproval on the other person's face, Huang Shi laughed at himself. It would be better if he had a clear conscience. Why bother to explain so hard? It made people feel even more untrustworthy: "That's it, General Pan.  Let your subordinates hand over their weapons to you and I will go back and build another set.¡± The entire engineering equipment of the fire-fighting battalion engineering team cost Huangshi nearly 30,000 taels of silver, which is as much as the cost of all the cannons and muskets in the fire-fighting battalion.  But Huang Shi still has a lot of money in his hands now.  If this batch of equipment could save the lives of thousands of people in the headquarters a few years ago, Huangshi would not be reluctant to say it.  What's more, when we build new engineering and military equipment in the future, we will avoid many detours and the cost will not be so shocking. The experience gained in the past few days can also be applied to new manufacturing.  Is it the same thing?  General Pan, who was overjoyed, hurriedly went to receive the equipment.  Someone hurriedly pulled him: "Idiot Pan is going to have a celebration banquet." "It's not too late to drink when you come back." General Pan broke free from the pull of others and went happily.  Mao Wenlong kept a cold eye on this lively scene and waited until everyone started laughing again.  He then said to Huang Shi: "Huang Shi is a rough man. You don't want to be on the same level as him." Huang Shi also smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief is right." "It's best if you think so, he will be your subordinate sooner or later anyway.  It's not compensation if he dies." As soon as Mao Wenlong's words came out, the bustling crowd in the camp suddenly fell silent. The faces of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who were talking to Huang Shi, changed slightly. There were people behind him who gasped.  sound.  Huang Shi was in the center of everyone's attention. For a moment, the surroundings were so silent that the sound of a steel needle falling to the ground could be heard. Huang Shi listened to the breathing and coughing sounds of those nearby who tried to suppress them, and said loudly with an unchanging expression: "Commander, you are serious here.  The disciples of Liaodong and the Dongjiang military comrades have nothing to say about whether they should pay compensation or not." Mao Wenlong smiled again when he heard this: "Huang Shi's words are very good. As long as there are people like you, the disciples of Dongjiang will not suffer even if I am gone.  "What are you talking about, Commander?" Kong Youde shouted first, and all the officers in the battalion followed suit, which immediately covered up the awkward atmosphere.  Next came the celebration banquet. At the banquet, the Dongjiang generals naturally toasted to the two governors. After hearing what Mao Wenlong said just now, when they and Huang Shi looked at each other, there was an extra layer of subtle expressions. Compared with yesterday, it seemed that there was more.  I felt a little more in awe and a little more hopeful.  After the banquet, Mao Wenlong asked Huang Shi to accompany him to inspect the military camp. The two guards were far away. The left and right governors walked in tandem for a long time, and no one spoke first.  Mao Wenlong pondered for a long time and finally found something to say: "Now that Haizhou is under way and then Huangshi, what are your plans?" From Haizhou to Liaoyang, there is Anshan in front. Five days later, Mao Wenlong has sent a team of troops to attack Anshan, but the effect is not good.  Very poor.  Anshan not only has a large number of artillery, but also a lot of defenders Dongjiang soldiers suffered heavy casualties. For such a small fortress, Mao Wenlong believed that mobilizing tens of thousands of people to attack was not worth the gain, and a small fortress also had its advantages.Jiang Jun's human sea tactics are not easy to use.  "The main purpose of Marshal Mao Mingjian's dispatch of our troops this time is to contain the Jiannu slaves and force them to return from northern Liaoning and cooperate with the governor of Liaodong to build Jinzhou City. If this is the only purpose, I will think it is enough." Although Huangshi does not have clairvoyance, he  He didn't need to think about it to guess the shock that this attack on Liaozhong brought to Nurhaci. This was already the second time in half a year.  It's just that with the current state of the Dongjiang Army, Huangshi has no confidence in a decisive battle with Houjin's main force.
