Chapter 195: Increasing Troops in Golden State

Dolgon once again escaped ascension because he led his troops to the Quang Ninh area to deal with the Mongol cavalry in advance, but after learning the news that Dalinghe Fort had been defeated, Dolgon and Duoduo immediately led their men to flee to Liaoyang.

In the next month or so, under the leadership of Luo Li, the Left Route Army of the Great Central Army swept through dozens of walled forts controlled by Jiannu on both sides of the Daling River, killing nearly 20,000 Manchurian Banner people, and recovering the lost territory of the Ming Dynasty from the west of Xipingbao.

This is also the Han people since the construction of the slave outside the Guan, the first time to restore such a large area of the homeland, after the news reached Beijing, Xiao Tianjian was overjoyed, on the spot issued an order to award Luo Li as the third class Dingbei Marquis, the rest of his meritorious soldiers also have their own rewards, in order to inspire the army will continue to march forward.

At the same time that Luo Li launched the Battle of Dalinghe Fort in Dalinghe, the Eastern Route Army also achieved new results.

First Diao Zheng captured Tieshan, Xuanzhou, and then immediately waved to the north, began to attack the city of Yizhou on the east bank of the Yalu River, Yizhou stationed more than 1,500 Jiannu soldiers, in addition to more than 800 Han soldiers of the Han army flag, after the arrival of the Dazhong Army in Yizhou, the Han soldiers of the Han army banner surrendered to the Dazhong Army on the spot, rebelled in the city of Yizhou, and opened the east gate of Yizhou City, although the Jiannu army in the city carried out brutal suppression, tried to close the east gate of Yizhou City, and slaughtered nearly 500 Han soldiers, However, in the end, it was not possible to recapture the east gate before the Dazhong army took control of the east gate, so that the Dazhong army broke into the city and started a street battle with the Jiannu in the city.

After a whole day of fierce fighting, the Jiannu army in the city was not supported, opened the west gate and began to flee, although Diao Zheng wanted to annihilate this group of Jiannu soldiers, but He Nai and their East Route Army because they were crossing the sea to fight, the number of cavalry was very limited, and finally let these Jiannu soldiers run away four or five hundred people, but they still captured Yizhou City.

Only two days after capturing the city of Yizhou, Diao Zheng continued to lead his troops to attack Zhenjiang Fort on the west bank of the Yalu River.

During the period, Jiannu sent troops to rescue Zhenjiang Fort several times in Xuancheng and Jiannu in Dangerous Mountain Fort, but Diao Zhengdu sent troops to block Jiannu's reinforcements, and the two sides repeatedly fought several times in the area of Zhenjiang Fort, and the Jiannu army was never able to enter Zhenjiang Fort for reinforcements, and finally Zhenjiang Fort was broken by Diao Zheng.

However, Diao Zheng's offensive also came to an end temporarily after the Zhenjiang Fort was captured, and the ammunition and materials they carried in the early stage had been almost consumed after the Zhenjiang Fort was breached, and it was impossible to continue to expand the results of the battle in the absence of cavalry.

However, even so, Diao Zheng's actions still effectively restrained the Jiannu forces on the Western Front, and at the same time attracted the Jiannu army in Jinzhou to the area of Zhenjiangbao, which made the Jiannu forces in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula begin to be seriously weakened.

At the end of May, the second group of Right Route Army crossed the sea by boat and appeared in the eastern bay of Jinzhou, which was later known as Dalian Bay, Li Xin personally led more than 10,000 troops this time, and arrived here under the transportation of more than 200 ships, and quickly controlled Sanshan Island outside the bay, and then used Sanshan Island as a support point to begin to land on Ganzijing.

The Jiannu in the Ganzijing area did not have many guards and horses at all, so the landing force of the Dazhong Army basically did not encounter any decent resistance, so the landing was quickly successful, and a large camp was set up in the Ganzijing area.

After hearing the news, Luo Luohun, the head of the Red Banner Banner, knew that something was wrong, and immediately led 3,000 Jiannu cavalry out of Jinzhou to the area of Ganzijing, trying to drive the Dazhong army back into the sea.

It's a pity that when Luo Luohun led the troops to Ganzijing, the Dazhong army had already gained a firm foothold here, a large number of men and horses and artillery had landed on the shore, Luo Luohun led the troops to assault once, not only was he able to drive the Dazhong army back to the sea, but on the contrary, in the early landing of the Dazhong army artillery fire, Luo Luohun was shot and injured on the spot, and under the rescue of many personal soldiers, Luo Luohun was robbed back, wounded and fled back to Jinzhou.

After repelling Luo Luohun, the Dazhong Army quickly controlled the area of Ganzijing, cutting off the passage between Jinzhou and Lushunkou, and after hearing the news, the Jiannu army in the Lushunkou area immediately abandoned Lushunkou and broke through in the direction of Jinzhou.

At the beginning of June, the two sides clashed in the Nanguan area in the south of Jinzhou, and thousands of Jiannu in southern Liaoning attacked the headquarters of the Dazhong Army stationed in the Nanguan area.

After two days of fierce fighting between the two sides, more than 1,000 Jiannu soldiers and horses broke through the defense line of the Dazhong Army in Nanguan and fled back to Jinzhou, but the remaining more than 2,000 Jiannu troops did not have such a good life, and were blocked by Li Xin's supervising army.

At this time, Jiannu was even more panicked, and more and more large Chinese troops appeared in the entire Liaodong Peninsula, and their current strength was not strong, and the use of troops in many ways was simply a disaster for them.

What's more, they are now short of grain, and the summer harvest is related to whether they can survive this winter, but the Dazhong army rushed into Liaodong during the summer harvest, making them unable to estimate the harvest at all, and a large number of flag soldiers were conscripted, so that the grain in the field could only rely on the slaves and the women and children of the family to harvest, which made Jiannu really panic.

Seeing that the situation in Liaodong was erosive, Huang Taiji couldn't take pity on the troops of the two yellow flags on his hand, so he immediately ordered his general Ao Bai to lead 4,000 elite soldiers with yellow flags, and immediately rushed to Jinzhou for reinforcements.

After Li Xin led the army to land in southern Liaoning, he quickly gained a firm foothold, and the straight-line distance from Dengzhou and Weihaiwei was greatly shortened compared with the distance to Phi Dao, and the straight-line distance was only more than 300 li, and the boat could reach Dalian Bay in three days at most after setting sail from Dengzhou.

During the whole of June, the large Chinese troops who remained in Denglai and Weihaiwei began to be transported to southern Liaoning for landing under the transportation of naval boats, and at the same time, a large number of prepared materials also began to be transported to southern Liaoning with the ships.

Therefore, in July, the strength of Jiannu and the Great Chinese Army in the whole of southern Liaoning began to change dramatically, and nearly 40,000 Great Chinese troops landed in southern Liaoning, becoming a force that Jiannu could no longer shake.

If you compare Jiannu with the Ming army, it goes without saying that it must be Jiannu's organization, discipline and even unity and coordination ability, which must be much stronger than the Ming army, which is also the reason why Jiannu has been in an advantageous position in military operations against the Ming army for so many years.

But now if Jiannu's army is compared with the Dazhong Army, it is a joke, the Dazhong Army is completely a modern and efficient war machine built by Xiao Tianjian himself, its organization is more reasonable, and it is also more professional, and more importantly, the Dazhong Army belongs to the full-time professional soldiers, although the soldiers may not be as strong as the individual soldiers of Jiannu, but the ability and cooperation of cooperative operations are far more than that of Jiannu.

The division of arms in the Great Chinese Army is more detailed, and the generals have their own professional functions, as well as the firepower output ability that exceeds this era, so that the Great Chinese Army can be completely invincible in the battle of the Northeast Liaoning Expedition.

Of course, an army like the Dazhong Army also has its disadvantages, and their biggest disadvantage is that their dependence on firearms and logistical support is far more than that of the Jiannu Army several times or even more than ten times, and this poses a great pressure on the logistical support of the Dazhong Army.

So this time, nominally, the Dazhong Army sent 100,000 troops to the Northern Expedition, but in essence, in order to ensure the operation and operation of these 100,000 soldiers and horses, Xiao Tianjian actually used the current national strength to do logistics support for the front line with hundreds of thousands of people.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Luo Li to arrogantly dare to carry out a seven-day non-stop artillery bombardment of Dalinghe Fort, mainly because the Dazhong Army has a strong logistics support to support the combat operations on the front line, otherwise it would be difficult for the Dazhong Army to achieve such a big result in Liaodong so quickly.

Although the Eastern Route Army was relatively lacking in cavalry, Li Xin relied on the strong firepower of the Dazhong Army to fight steadily, first after getting more soldiers and horses to support, he gradually cleared the area south of Jinzhou, firmly controlled this area in the hands of the Dazhong Army, and then led the army to attack the city of Jinzhou at the end of July.

Although Jinzhou received the support of the 3,000 elite with yellow flags led by Ao Bai at this time, in terms of troop comparison, it was still far weaker than the strength of the Dazhong Army.

Needless to say, this guy is known as the enemy of 10,000 people in Jiannu, with the title of Baturu, known as the first fierce general in Jiannu, this time Huang Taiji transferred him to Jinzhou, hoping that he can help Luo Luohun hold Jinzhou, and it is best to drive the Dazhong army that landed in southern Liaoning back to the sea.

But Luo Luohun was injured in the battle of Ganzijing, he tasted the strength of the artillery fire of the Dazhong Army, and when he learned that the Dazhong Army came to attack Jinzhou, Luo Luohun mainly defended the city, and could not go out of the city to fight in the field of the Dazhong Army, because the artillery fire of the Dazhong Army was too powerful, and it was difficult for them to break into the front of the Dazhong Army, and they would often pay a huge price for casualties when they fought.

But Luo Luohun's opinion Ao Bai didn't listen to it at all, Ao Bai thought that it was because their Qing army was not good at defending, the firepower was not strong, and they should give full play to the advantages of their cavalry, and the soldiers and horses he brought with the yellow flag this time were basically cavalry, that is, the Aliha Chaoha battalion, each person was equipped with two sets of armor, and the generals were wearing three layers of armor, one person, two horses or even three horses, each of them were skilled in bows and horses, and if they were placed in the city to defend the city, it would be a waste.

Therefore, Ao Bai believes that although the artillery fire of the Dazhong Army is sharp, their cavalry still has a great advantage, and they must not let the Dazhong Army besiege the city, and in the end it will not be able to hold Jinzhou City.
