Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1658 Seeking War

When news of the fall of Phoenix City reached Shenyang, the capital of Shengyang, Emperor Duduo of the Qing Dynasty could no longer sit still.

Phoenix City is an important node to the east of Houjin. It can not only prevent the rebels from uniting with Dongjiang Town and Korean soldiers from advancing westward, but also is an important channel for Houjin to obtain supplies through North Korea and Dongjiang.

Once Phoenix City is destroyed, it means that the entire North Korea has fallen to the "Ming Dynasty" again.

At the same time, it also means that most of the strategic situation achieved through the two generations of Khans Lao Nu and Hong Tai, who conquered the east and west, and fought south and north, has collapsed.

"No, we can't sit back and wait for death!" Duduo's face was uncertain for a while, and finally made up his mind, "We have to take the initiative!"

"Your Majesty!" Anping Belle Duduo was shocked when he heard this, and quickly reminded, "This risk is a bit too great!"

"If you don't want to let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf!" Duduo shook his head and said, "Nowadays, the 'shun thieves' are like a noose around our heads, constantly squeezing our space."

"If you can't fight to the death at this time, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to fight in the future!"

"This" Du Du was stunned when he heard this and fell silent for a while.

As Duduo said, depending on the bad weather and long distance, it can certainly be delayed for a while.

However, after this war, Hou Jin not only suffered heavy losses, but also lost a large amount of land and population.

If the ice and snow melt next year and the "shun thieves" come again, what will Hou Jin's people do to resist the rebel army?

"Okay then!" Du Du pondered for a long time and finally nodded helplessly, then asked, "I just don't know how His Highness plans to deploy it?"

"In this way, you stay in the city while Horqin and I go to attack Baitapu!" Duduo couldn't help but laugh.

"That Lu Xiangsheng." Du Du couldn't help but pointed to the north of Shenyang.

"Can he bypass Shenyang to support Baitapu?" Duduo smiled, "But I, Tokyo City, can really support Shenyang!"

Not only did Zhang Shun see the division between Pinglupu and Baitapu, Duduo also obviously saw it.

After much thought, he could only solve the current dilemma by solving Zhang Sanbaiyi first.

"Now that Phoenix City has been lost, I'm afraid Tokyo City can't be defended. In this case, it's better to let go and fight, to show off!"

Duduo's plan was decided. He would make food at the first watch, assemble the team at the second watch, leave the camp at the third watch, and arrive at Baitapu at the fourth watch.

The so-called "pu" refers to the post station, which belongs to the post station system of the Ming Dynasty. Generally, there is one post every ten miles and one post every sixty miles.

Because there is a white pagoda on this pavilion, it is called Baitapu.

From an institutional point of view, Pu is one level lower than Inn. It doesn’t even have a fortress, and Baita Pu is no exception.

However, there is only one word to be afraid of in this world.

It turned out that when Lao Nu conquered Shenyang, "Li Bingcheng, the commander-in-chief of Fengji Fort, Zhu Wanliang, and Jiang Bi, the commander-in-chief of Wujing Camp, led 30,000 cavalry to assist Shenyang and camped in Baitapu."

Of course, in fact, these 30,000 cavalry did not play their due role. Later, Shenyang and Liaoyang fell one after another, but the fortresses built by the Ming army remained.

Therefore, Zhang Sanbai built and improved his own fortress based on the original Ming army fortress.

When Na Duduo came to the front of the formation, he saw that the fortress looked square at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, he saw that the four gates were recessed, which was very strange.

It is a pity that "King Sanshun" died and surrendered, and no one in the Jin army recognized this city.

Duduo couldn't help but smile and said to Badali, Budaqi and Lama Shixi on Horqin's right wing: "Please watch me defeat the enemy!"

Following Duduo's order, more than a hundred shield chariots filed out, each driven by ten people, followed by heavy armored cavalry.

Duduo could not help but proudly show off to the three people on Horqin's right wing: "This shield cart is made of solid wood five or six inches thick, with a layer of cowhide and a layer of iron."

"It is rotated by a machine, like a chariot to avoid guns and cannons. Small bricks and stones cannot be hit, large bricks and stones will roll down, and firewood will not burn when thrown. It can be said to be the most powerful weapon in our country!" Nabadali, Budaqi and Lama Shixi were shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help asking: "But was it the old Khan who defeated the Ming army in the past?"

"Of course!" Duduo nodded confidently.

It turned out that in order to deal with Zhang Sanbai this time, Duduo pulled out the shield cart that the old slave used to deal with the Ming army from the Shenyang warehouse in Shengjing.

This shield chariot is different from that of the Zhulu War. The shield chariot built by Hong Tai in a hurry is a heavier and stronger chariot that cannot be penetrated by ordinary firearms.

Following Duduo's order, the heavy wheels pressed through the soft snow and slowly approached the rebel camp.

Zhang Sanbai saw him from a distance and couldn't help but order: "Send a group of cavalry out to try the Tatars' skills!"

"Here!" After receiving the military order, the generals quickly put on their armor, mounted their horses, opened the north side of the camp, and rushed out.

When the cavalry left the city gate, they saw that the rear golden shield vehicle was equipped with muskets and artillery, and could not attack forcefully, so they divided into two and outflanked them from the left and right.

Seeing the rebel cavalry bypassing both sides, the rear golden shield chariot soldiers stopped the shield chariot, then turned the mechanism and turned the shield direction to the side of the rebel cavalry.

Immediately, more soldiers came out in formation with swords, guarding the shield chariot.

Seeing that the golden shield chariot was heavily guarded, the rebel cavalry tried to get closer and shoot with blunderbuss and bows and arrows.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Shield Chariot suddenly fired a salvo of cannons and artillery. In a short time, the rebel cavalry lost seven or eight cavalry.

I tried this for a while, but to no avail.

Zhang Sanbai stood in the white tower and saw clearly. Worried about wasting the lives of his soldiers, he quickly ordered: "Let the cavalry withdraw!"

"It's not easy to fight!" Zu Dashou frowned and explained with a sigh, "When we were dealing with the Tatars, we also tried to use cavalry to defeat them."

"However, this chariot formation is heavily fortified and can only be broken through with the Hongyi cannon!"

"Don't worry, we have plenty of cannons!" Zhang Sanbai laughed when he heard this, and Zu Dashou also laughed.

It turned out that Zhang Sanbai had three standard battalions with a total of thirty field guns and golden guns.

Although Zu Dashou's subordinates did not have such standard artillery, they also carried thirty or fifty general cannons, prisoner-killing cannons and other artillery.

Zhang Sanbai had already set up these artillery pieces in the camp to await the Jin soldiers later.

Not long after, the rear golden shield vehicle arrived at the first trench outside the rebel camp.

The trench was about one person deep and five or six feet wide. Cavalry could jump over it, but it was difficult for shield chariots to pass through.

After that, the Golden Shield truck had to stop, and then began to dig and fill the trench.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Just as the rear golden shield vehicle stopped, the rebel artillery began to ring loudly.

Due to the distance of nearly 100 feet, most of the rebels' artillery shells missed, and only three or two hit the rear golden shield vehicle. A hole was smashed into the rear golden shield vehicle on the spot, and two people behind the shield vehicle were also killed.

Now Duduo's face turned ugly.

As soon as he finished bragging, he was slapped in the face. You can imagine his anger.

It turns out that although the artillery used by the Ming army, such as Fo Langji, has a fast rate of fire, it is not very powerful.

The power of the generals and generals such as the second general is sufficient, but the accuracy and rate of fire are not.

The high-precision anti-barbarian cannon is fine, but it can only fire goose egg-sized shells, which are difficult to penetrate the reinforced shield vehicle.

It's just that Duduo never expected that the rebel artillery was all based on the Hongyi type and could fire standard cast-iron bullets weighing ten or fifteen kilograms. How could this shield car withstand it?

"Fill in the soil, fill it in with the soil, I still don't believe I can't stop it!" Duduo couldn't help but said in anger.
