Chapter 500

As an excellent commander, Huang Taiji knows that fighting must rely on morale. If morale is not high, he can't win the war at all.

After shuoto fled back, although he died in the war, he caused a great impact and shock to his army, which shrouded the whole army in an atmosphere of fear and failure. If this atmosphere is not killed, this war will not be fought at all.

Although Shuo Tuo is dead and can't punish him, Huang Taiji still deprives him of his title in the name of his reckless March, poor command and blundering in battle. He rewards all his land and manor to the families of the soldiers who died in the war. Shuo Tuo's sons are all ordered by him to join the army and serve as ordinary soldiers in the army, Shuo Tuo's wives and concubines are all rewarded to meritorious soldiers.

Now there is one thing that makes him very embarrassed, that is, he wants to reward these meritorious men. However, since the southern Liaoning incident, they have been beaten by the Ming army. No one has made meritorious service, and they don't know who to reward for a while and a half.

However, Huang Taiji's practice has greatly shocked the hearts of the people, and made these soldiers fear and dare not take any chances any more.

That is, they are soldiers. There is only one destination for soldiers. That is to go to the battlefield. There is only one purpose to go to the battlefield, or return with fame or die in battle. This is their belief.

Huang Taiji again summoned his important advisers to discuss the matter with them.

The sudden emergence and rise of Liu Jiajun surprised JianNu. What caught them off guard was that Liu Jiajun's novel mode of operation was different from the traditional mode of operation of the Ming army.

In the traditional way of fighting, whether the two armies are engaged in war or offensive and defensive war, they are very confident and can fight well, but now the Ming army does not fight face to face with them, but shoots them a hundred steps away.

In the hundred steps, the only thing JianNu army can do harm to the Ming army is archers, but the Ming army is also equipped with archers. The archers of the Ming army use bows and crossbows with mechanisms. Their range is longer, their firing speed is faster and they save more effort, which makes them not take any advantage in the process of shooting.

You know, riding and shooting have always been their strengths. They have always suppressed the Ming army in this aspect. In every large-scale battle, as long as the two sides fight with bows and arrows, they can win, but they actually lag behind the Ming army in bows and crossbows, which makes more people worry.

They are all veterans of hundred battles. They are worried, but they have nothing to fear. Since Liu Jiajun comes, they must fight. Everyone knows one thing, that is, the importance of southern Liaoning to them. Liu Jiajun controls this place, which means that they are a serious problem of building slaves. If they are not eradicated, they will not be able to operate Eastern Liaoning, It is even more impossible to attack Daming or Mongolia and North Korea without any taboo.

Liu Jiajun suddenly crossed the Bohai Sea and occupied southern Liaoning. It really disrupted all his deployment of Huang Taiji, which made him very angry, so he made his army go out again without hesitation and sweep in.

Originally, a large number of Rangers sent by Liu Jiajun hunted JianNu cavalry and spies at night within tens of miles. In the Ranger war between the two sides, Liu Jiajun had the upper hand, but with the arrival of Huang Taiji army, they came all over the world. This big scene like a flood swept across the Road, with endless barracks, So that these cavalry did not dare to light their front, their cavalry withdrew over the Jinzhou isthmus and returned to their position.

As far as the current situation is concerned, JianNu sent out nearly 50000 troops, the number of which is higher than that of Liu Jiajun. Liu Jiajun saw that the other party was well prepared, so he decided to defend according to their fortification position.

Now the two sides have such a problem, that is, Huang Taiji is eager to capture southern Liaoning and drive away Liu Jiajun, but Liu Jiajun is not in a hurry. They can wait here patiently and fight here patiently.

If Fu Zonglong or Wang Wenjie and other senior officials of the imperial court were to come here to preside over the war, the first thing they would do was order the soldiers to attack the enemy's tightly defended cities and fortresses, because they had to do more to show the emperor that they could show their superiority and achievements only by attacking and occupying more enemy cities and defeating the enemy step by step, But Liu Jiajun doesn't need to show himself like this. As long as they defeat the enemy and keep southern Liaoning, they will win.

Therefore, the policy they stick to here makes JianNu more difficult. If Liu Jiajun is willing to go out of the position and fight a decisive battle with them, they will be very happy to fight a field battle with Liu Jiajun. However, Liu Jiajun is not willing to fight him at all, but hides in the array and sticks to their position under the protection of their artillery and archers, This makes the JianNu army a little tiger bites a hedgehog and has no way to bite.

Originally, Huang Taiji led his army to attack Jinzhou isthmus. As long as they passed through this position, they could directly attack LvDa. There was no danger to defend in this area, and they could not resist the charge of his army. However, he saw that so many red cannon and Falang machine guns were deployed on the position of the Ming army, It made him feel daunted.

What made Huang Taiji even more daunting was that when he was sleeping at night, the Ming army suddenly heard a loud gunfire and continued to fire. The gunfire spread several miles away, which shocked him. He quickly sent a guard to ask, why did he shoot? Because he knew that they did not organize an attack at all, did not organize a large-scale attack, and the Ming army fired artillery. Did the Ming army dare to take the initiative to challenge them and fight with them?

If the Ming army dares to take the initiative to fight them and run out to fight them, it is in their favor. You should know that he may not be afraid of each other when the two sides are in a field or night battle. This is the time when the Ming army's guns and artillery can't exert their power.

Huang Taiji now misses Kong Youde and likes them, because these people are proficient in using cannons. If they were here, they could provide some suggestions, but these people were defeated. The worst thing is that Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were captured alive, and then they were cut in Dengzhou in front of thousands of people.

This incident has also caused a great shock in the process of building slaves. Especially now many Han people have also taken refuge in building slaves, such as Ning Wani, fan Wencheng, Li Yongfang, etc. These are traitors and running dogs who took refuge in building slaves. They were doing quite well in building slaves. They all feel a little elated and feel that they have changed like this, Cast a good master and mixed better, but after seeing the end of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, they were pale with fear. They all knew how miserable their end would be if they fell into the hands of the Ming army.

Moreover, there is a rumor that Liu Bu, the general of the Ming army, is a very bastard. He has too much money and no place to spend. He actually offered such a reward, that is, all the civil and military officials and generals of JianNu were clearly priced. If you can get the head of one of them, you can get some rewards, Not only the Baylor and flag owners of JianNu are on the list, but also the traitors running dogs such as fan Wencheng, Ning Wani and Li Yongfang. If they get them, they will be beheaded.

Huang Taiji said he despised Liu Bu's practice. He also thought that the other party did so, but helped them. The other party did not talk about martial ethics and offered a reward for killing without rules, which made these people more loyal and united around him.

But Huang Taiji told these people around him that they had no other way to go except to fight with Jianzhou. When they returned to Daming, they only ended up with thousands of cuts.

At this time, his bodyguard hurried back to report. He said, "this is the Ming army shooting."

Huang Taiji was surprised. He said, "the Ming army is firing artillery. Do they attack? Where are they attacking?"

As a result, his bodyguard told him, "the Ming army did not attack. They just found something wrong and ordered artillery to bombard continuously..."

This shocked and terrified Huang Taiji. You know, they fought with the Ming army. The Ming army's guns are very powerful, but they are also the treasure of the Ming army. Each shell is very expensive. They only shelled and fired when a large number of enemies came up. But like Liu Jiajun now, they don't feel good, If they find something wrong, they shoot outside. How much money should they have to dare to do so? Can't they live?

This also means that the rumor that Liu Jiajun's firepower is very strong is true. The other party is so generous that they use artillery to bomb when they feel wrong. JianNu and Daming's army dare not do so. If they dare to do so, it can only show that they have sufficient ammunition reserves and no money.

This makes Huang Taiji feel completely uneasy. The other party has so many artillery and so powerful. If he orders his elite troops to attack the other party and is bombarded by the other party's artillery, how many casualties will he have? However, he had seen the red cannon of the Ming army, which hit the army formation where they built slaves and killed 70 or 80 people.

Fortunately, however, the red cannon is also a treasure in the Ming army. The Ming court does not have the technology and ability to make red cannon. Now their intelligence shows that Liu Jiajun has the technology and ability to make red cannon. Their army has a large number of red cannon. The intelligence shows that their number of red cannon is more than that of the whole Ming Dynasty, Based on these information, Huang Taiji felt uneasy. How should he fight this battle?
