Chapter 778 (1/2)
With the constant harassment of the cavalry of the Ming army, the earth pushing offensive of the later Jin army was much slower than expected.
It took two and a half days to build the first wall.
Fortunately, the terrain of the Ming army on the West Bank of Jiangkou was also very flat. With this wall, the Jin army finally had a foothold in the West Bank.
However, although Li Yuanqing also had four or five hundred elite cavalry Scouts under his command, Li Yuanqing did not participate in the sneak attack on these humble Chaoxian miscellaneous soldiers.
Although these Chaoxian laborers are not so good, they are living creatures and labors after all.
It's a pity to be killed by the cavalry doves of Dongjiang.
We should know that in Zhongdao and Xidao, Li Yuanqing still needs a lot of slave labor to open up wasteland and farm land, to build nets and fish, to build roads and bridges, and to build various infrastructure.
These dear smecta, who are not only familiar with the soil and water, but also with the climate, must have a higher survival rate than those white haired monkeys, Nanyang natives and black people.
In particular, with the gradual stabilization of the situation in southern Liaoning, Li Yuanqing also needs more labor to develop southern Liaoning, especially Jinzhou, Fuzhou and yangguanbao.
If we develop all the wasteland here, plant grain, sweet potato, green vegetables, and raise livestock, then Li Yuanqing's comprehensive strength will certainly be upgraded to a higher level.
However, since Mao Wenlong likes to play like this, and his brothers like to watch the excitement, Li Yuanqing can only sacrifice these ”lovely” smectas and use them to boost the morale of his officers and men.
March 14.
The weather is quite good. The weather is slightly warming. The snow and ice on the ground have melted.
At this time, the pioneers of the post Jin army had already built many gaps and crenels behind the wall, and behind the wall, there were also a lot of small short wall intervals, which provided enough buffer.
The construction system has been basically formed.
The main reason is that the wall defense of the Ming army is not high, which is only about three meters on average.
If they were higher, they would not be able to rely on simple ladders at four or five or five or six meters. They could only push them through the earth pushing offensive.
But at this time, the ground under his feet is frozen hard, even if he is holding a sharp hoe, he has to work hard to dig up the soil.
Especially with the warm weather, Daning River will begin to thaw soon. Amin is afraid that he is about to be anxious.
Li Yuanqing even sympathizes with Amin. It's not easy for him.
Early in the morning, after the gold army side began to have action.
About two or three thousand soldiers began to march towards the fresh laborers. They were carrying sand bags. The thick trees just cut down were like mole ants all over the mountains and slowly pushed towards the direction of the Ming army's fortifications.
Behind them, there is a ”hotchpotch” between the rear Jin army and the Korean army. They push one by one simple chariots, carefully shrink behind the chariots, and follow the Chaoxian and Xianren soldiers, and come slowly.
”There are almost six cattle records, about 2000 people! ha-ha. Ah min can't hold her breath at last
In the trench of the temporary command headquarters of the Ming army, Mao Wenlong showed a hint of ready-made smile.
Chen Jisheng also said with a smile: ”three inlaid with blue flags, two with red flags and one with white flags. In the back, there are about six or seven elite Niu Lu on standby. I reckon that if the situation goes well, Amin will have to work hard. ”
”Hey, hey.”
Chen Zhong said with a smile: ”I'm not afraid that he will come, but I'm afraid he won't come.”! Yuanqing, what shall we do? Do you want to let go of the first line of defense and let them in? ”
Think, ”look at Marshal Li Wenqing?”
Although Mao Wenlong knew that Li Yuanqing's Changsheng camp had extremely sharp firepower, it was after all a frontal battlefield and the first battle. Mao Wenlong did not dare to neglect him and said in a deep voice: ”Yuanqing, we must still focus on stability.”
Li Yuanqing laughed: ”what the commander said is! In this battle, we should focus on safety. Somebody, give me the order! You don't have to worry too much in front of you. Let these Chaoxian and xiandui come forward and fight again when the main force of real slaves comes up! ”
”Yes
The herald rushed to give the order.
After hearing Li Yuanqing's order, Mao Wenlong relaxed a lot. He patted Li Yuanqing on the shoulder and expressed his trust in Li Yuanqing with body language.
Soon, the Chaoxian mixed soldiers had broken through the scope of their wall and rushed to the front of the Ming army fortifications.
Because the terrain of Jiangkou is very wide, and the front of the post Jin army is very wide, which is about two miles ahead. It almost occupies all the core of the most gentle ground on the river mouth. From a distance, it is covered with mountains and fields.
In fact, the speed of moving forward towards the fresh and miscellaneous servants is very slow, especially after passing the wall.
These humble smectas, they obviously do not know what the fate is waiting for them in front of them.
Especially near the Ming army fortifications within a hundred paces, their speed is almost like a turtle.At this time, it was almost nine o'clock, and the propulsion had been going on for most of an hour, nearly two hours.
The main force of the rear Jin army in the rear, as well as the Korean and Xianjun troops, have already taken the lead.
At this time, the main force of the latter Jin army had no time to take care of the life and death of these North Korean laborers. They yelled and yelled at each other and ordered these Korean and fresh laborers to come forward!
If anyone doesn't obey, the vanguard with the Han Army Flag raises his hand and ends these Chao ~ Xian laborers directly!
The smell of blood soon began to spread over the sky.
Stimulated by these Chao ~ fresh workers, they dare not neglect any more. They let go of Yazi and rush forward desperately. They throw down what they have in their hands and run to both sides.
Seeing that the offensive has begun to work, Shuo Tuo, who is in charge of the battle not far behind, dares not to neglect him? ”Warriors, rush up and kill minggou
