Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

The horn of the decisive battle

"Our troops are currently on the two defense lines of Fushun Pass and Qinghe Fort. After leaving Fushun Pass, the attack route to Hetuala is as long as [-] miles. The third infantry brigade, the fifth infantry brigade, and the first part of the artillery brigade have already been deployed. The supply line from Qinghebao to Yahuguan is nearly a hundred miles long, but the road is more difficult. The fourth infantry brigade and the sixth infantry brigade have been deployed. The other first and second infantry brigades [-], Artillery Brigade [-] as a reserve team, because Houjin is not allowed to know our main attack direction, it is still deployed near Liaodong City. Once the main attack direction is decided, these troops will arrive at the place immediately.” The officers of the staff department summarized the current situation strategic deployment.

"Do you all know how our Ming army was deployed in the defeat of Saarhu?" Chu Yun sat down and asked while looking at the map circled by the staff on the wooden table.

"This subordinate still knows. At that time, on the eve of the Battle of Saerhu, Yang Gao was in command of Shenyang, and the troops were divided into four groups. Among them, the first group, Marin, led 15000 troops to attack from the north, and the second group, Jun Song, led 30000 troops. Attacking from the west, the third route led by Li Rubai led 25000 troops to attack from the southwest, and the fourth route led by Liu Ting led 10000 troops to join the Koryo Army with a total of 20000 troops to attack from the south." Zhao Youguang of the Military Staff Department said.

"Although there were many reasons for Saerhu's defeat, after Nurhachi found out about the actions of our Ming army, he adopted a strategic detour of concentrating his forces and attacking them one by one. This time our army was almost all Liao people, and in The food is transshipped locally, so there is no need to divide the troops into four groups, only two routes are needed, and the superior forces will be concentrated to attack Saerhu and avenge the hatred of Saarhu." Chu Yun said.

"What does the commander mean to send the main force of the first brigade and the second brigade to Fushun Pass, with Fushun Pass as the main attack direction?" Many staff officers pricked up their ears when they heard that Chu Yun had finally confirmed the main attack direction.

"The terrain of Fushun Pass is more conducive to large-scale line infantry to launch an offensive, and it is also convenient to transport artillery. On the contrary, although Qinghe Fort is closer, the terrain is rough."

"How is the Horqin tribe in Mongolia?" Chu Yun asked again.

"The Horqin tribe enlisted the bravest members of the tribe, and agreed to dispatch 1 cavalry to divert the remaining Mongolian tribes who had defected to Houjin to the north, so that they would have no time to help Houjin."

"That's right, the time is ripe. This time I'm going to play a big game. Pass on the order that Liaodong City will move to the front line as planned, except for the defending army." Chu Yun said, "Send someone back to tell He Yi and the others that their I have approved the battle plan, but the departure date needs to be decided by the military department. Let them be ready."

The military decided to launch a decisive battle to destroy Houjin. After counting the ammunition and dry food needed for guns and artillery, the heavily armed troops near Liaodong City began to develop in the direction of Fushun Pass.

In the era without radio, it really takes a lot of courage and luck to make a sudden surprise attack.Chu Yun and the others didn't play any tricks, but went directly to Yangmou, which was similar to the deployment of Daming's attack on Jianzhou in the Battle of Salhu many years ago.

However, the Liao army was not comparable to the Ming army nine years ago.The Liao army used soldiers from the Liao land to transfer food and grass on the spot, and there was no shortage of military pay.Moreover, there are new types of firearms and new combat concepts, and the forces are concentrated in one direction.The other direction needs to be responsible for delaying the enemy and causing great pressure on the enemy.

If Huang Taiji also concentrates his forces to fight Chu Yun in Sarhu, he will face the threat of being stabbed by the second army.

On the front line of Fushun Pass, Chang Yi of the [-]th Infantry Brigade received Chu Yun's report, and He Yi's plan was approved.

"I'm not afraid of other places in Houjin. I'm just worried that their cavalry will harass our logistics supplies. Houjin has plundered a lot of war horses from Mongolia over the years. They are more flexible than us." Changyi said to He Yi. , "You need to prepare more dry food this time. I will lead the army to advance steadily behind, stabilize the food and grass, and support you at any time when you are surrounded."

"With the brigade commander's words, we can rest assured, this time we will definitely go to them to make a big mess!" He Yi said excitedly.

At this time, if it is [-]%, their army is the first success.

"Now this matter has been focused on by the military leader, don't embarrass me, you know?" Changyi said.

"Yes!"

On the vast grasslands of Liaohetao, the white yurts are dotted like stars all over the sky. A huge team of horses lined up in front of the yurts, with noisy voices, tens of thousands of people.

"Oba, you are finally cooperating with the Liao army!" Da Yuer's father, Zaisang, was wearing chain mail and riding a tall horse, and said to Oba who led the troops.

"Didn't your good daughter and the Fu Liao army trick me? Killing all the envoys of Houjin in my territory completely cut off my retreat." Auba said depressingly.

"Our Horqin tribe is united, and we have always advanced and retreated together. This time, if the Liao army can destroy Houjin, we will merge with them. On the contrary, if Houjin wins, we will discuss it in the long run." Zai Sang said disapprovingly .

"How is the old man?" Oba suddenly asked Manggus. Zaisang's father may be the oldest person in the Horqin tribe.

"The old man is still healthy and healthy, and there is nothing serious about it. He was clamoring to lead the army to go out in person, but I persuaded him." Zaisang said.

"Who said I won't go? Old man, I will personally lead the army to fight this time, and let the world know the majesty of our Mongolian cavalry!"

An old man in golden armour, with gray temples, appeared with a group of attendants.Although he is over sixty years old, his eyes are still extremely sharp.

"Why did you come out, old man?" Zaisang said quickly, "This time we are going to conquer the Chahar tribe. If we hurt you, how can we explain to the tribe?"

"The Chahar Department has always been a member of the Golden Family, and they may not be very close to us. This time, this old man is going to meet them, and by the way, go to Jianzhou for a ride!" Manggus said.

"It is impossible for the old man to miss this decisive battle all his life. Zaisang, you should send more people to look after the old man." Auba said.

"When I was galloping on the battlefield, you were still snotty little kids. I didn't expect it to be your turn to lead the army so soon. This time I want to see your talents, and let you see that my archery has not regressed. Let's go!" Manggus was more excited than Zaisang and Auba.

The Horqin tribe's 1 cavalry joined the dragoon battalion from Xiningbao, forming a torrent of cavalry and marching towards the north of Liaohetao. Under the premise of threats, let go of your hands and feet to attack.
