The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 301
Kong Youde took his men and horses out to sea for more than ten days and then returned to Dengzhou.

They reported to the governor that the sea near Yaozhou was too windy and rough for ships to dock, they had too many people, they had run out of fresh water and couldn't wait for the weather to improve, so they came back.

Sun Yuanhua is still looking forward to the success of his whimsical plan to make a sensation in the imperial court, but who knows that the final result will be a waste of money and food.

What if the sea route is impassable?No way, the Ministry of War is urgent, let Kong Youde lead the troops to go northward through Shanhaiguan by land!
Damn, don't go!Kong Youde saw that he had escaped the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day, so he could only dawdle and set out on the road again.

This time, Sun Yuanhua sent more than a thousand cavalry instead of infantry so that Kong Youde could arrive at the Dalinghe battlefield in time.

However, the "Red Banner Army" troops who went to sea almost at the same time as the Denglai troops did not see the high winds and rough waves in the Liaohai Sea, but only felt that the autumn was refreshing.

"Laughing in the sea, the tides on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs follow the waves to remember the present, the sky laughs, there are tides in the world, I know that the Ming army will win..." Huang Han himself sang a song of "Laughing in the Sea" with changed lyrics.

It didn't take long before tens of thousands of people sang together. Amid the loud military songs, the little ten thousand heroes bravely crossed the sea and rushed to the south of Liaoning...

Approaching the sea area that had been reconnaissance many times in advance, Huang Han ignored the beacon tower called Wanghaidun, and did not send people to go ashore to seize it in advance, and directly commanded the warship to land on the shore.

The stone Wanghai Pier was not built by the Later Jin Army, but one of the castles of the defense system of the Southern Four Guards of the Ming Dynasty. It used to be a small flag garrison. When it was discovered that the enemy was setting fire at night and burning wolf smoke during the day, because the location here is more important, so The Hou Jin army also stationed ten people at Wanghaidun.

Wang Haidun's Houjin defenders saw that the Ming army had come and dozens of warships were docking, including more than a dozen large ships that had never been seen before. How could they dare to make any moves, and hurriedly ignited all the smoke in the pier Then he took out his horse and fled.

The "Red Banner Army" engineer battalion took the lead in landing and established a temporary dock to assist other warships in unloading. Huang Kezao, Xiang Chengliang, and Liu Zaiqi really put their heart into it during this period. They chose a good landing point, where the depth is sufficient and the water flow is gentle.

The cavalry who disembarked immediately led the horses for a walk on the shore to relieve the horse's emotions. After a short time of military service, Wanghaidun was tidied up, and even the stone patio was washed clean, and the owner was invited to move in.

Huang Han used this fort as the command post of the beachhead to build a strong camp that could be defended for a short period of time. He dug trenches on the outside to prevent the attack of the slave cavalry. Trees are used to build a wall more than ten feet high.

The camp is close to the temporary pier for landing, and there are more than a dozen warships on the sea, including seven new warships of the old lock ship type, with hundreds of cannons. The later Jin army's vain attempt to win here and save thousands of people may not be possible at all. .

Whether to give up the initiative here is in the "Red Banner Army". If you find that you can consume a large amount of Jiannu's troops, you will fight them on the shore. Raise the gun and Mini gun to communicate with Hou Jinjun.

Huang Han appreciated Zeng Guofan's way of using troops. It was the safest way to build a strong camp and fight in a daze.

The ability of infantry vehicles to better resist cavalry attacks has been tested on the battlefield last year. Now the infantry and laborers of the "Red Banner Army" know the importance of unicycles. This time they brought a total of [-] unicycles.

When the foothold is not stable, it is necessary to prevent immeasurable losses caused by the large-scale cavalry raid of the Jiannu. disembark.

Now they led their men and horses to search in three directions: north, east, and south. Their mounts were without exception Arabian war horses. These horses basically did not feel much discomfort after short-distance voyages.

These three hundred cavalry are of course elite. They have dozens of binoculars, and they are placed on the commanding heights to look far away. Scattered slaves fall into their encirclement, and they will definitely be the first to find the reinforcements of Jian slaves. People and horses.

It was not Huang Han's deliberate arrangement to encircle the spot, but it was impossible for the Jiannu stationed nearby to sit back and watch Fuzhou be attacked. Even if they did not dare to do their best to rescue them, they had to send some cavalry to ascertain the strength of the "Red Banner Army".

After defeating the Hou Jin army who came to test, the show of muscle made the nearby Jiannu garrison feel the strength of the Ming army, and made them keep asking for help to interfere with Hong's determination to fight outside the Dalinghe city. In the end, Hong was killed There is nothing good about being exhausted physically and mentally.

In history, Hong died suddenly in his early fifties. If he hadn't been murdered by Dorgon, it should have been due to his overwork and deteriorating health. Huang Han would give him more incentives to try to make him die early.

Therefore, the cavalry generals such as Hanzi and Yang Danian had to make two preparations with one heart, monitor the enemy to escort the large troops to capture Fuzhou City, arrange ambushes according to the number of enemy reinforcements, and annihilate as many invading enemies as possible.

Taking Fuzhou City first is the established plan. After taking Fuzhou, the army will go south and then take Jinzhou. At this time, Liu Zhilun and Huanglong will be contacted to attack Jinzhou.

The reason for Huang Han's arrangement is still to maximize the benefits, because the height and width of the city walls of Fuzhou and Jinzhou are far less than that of Jinzhou, and the moat is also much narrower.

In the past, Jinzhou Wei had the largest population among the twenty or so guards under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it had six thousand households under its jurisdiction. Fuzhou Wei had only four thousand households.

Jiannu has taken all of the four guards in southern Liaoning of Ming Dynasty, and Jinzhou is already one of the forefronts of the war between Ming Dynasty and Houjin. Because Lushunkou is still in the hands of Daming, Fuzhou is equivalent to the rear.

With Jinzhou Ding in front, the reclamation in Fuzhou is relatively safe. Not only the family of the Fuzhou defenders and Aha who farmed the land lived in this city, but also too many family members of the Jinzhou defenders. Fuzhou City The total population of Li is more than three times that of Jinzhou, and the hoarding of food and gold and silver treasures should be more than five times.

The city is small, the walls are short, easy to fight, rich in money, and the Han people Ahaduo are the main reasons why Huang Han seized Fuzhou first.

As soon as the "Red Banner Army" approached the coast of Fuzhou, it was discovered by lookout posts with no fewer than ten piers.

The post-Jin army stationed there saw the massive landing of the Ming army, and the South Four Guards were in full swing for a moment, and people were panicked for a while. It was too long since the Ming army launched a large-scale active attack, so too many post-Jin soldiers and civilians forgot to come out to mess with the boss. I have to pay it back.

Many coastal pier forts deployed by the Jin army later sent emergency messengers. They galloped like flying horses on the official road, and the slave chieftain learned of the Ming army's attack on the Southern Four Guards early the next morning.
