Chapter 513: Gently prick the tartar
Ao Shan, who fell in a pool of blood and waited for death, didn't know what kind of mood he was in, pain, despair, grievance, helplessness....... such a mood had never been. Before, he had never tried to be beaten passively. Perhaps, the Ming army that was ravaged by them was also in this mood when they were desperate, right?
Looking out of the pool of blood, Ao Shan felt that the military flag of the Tiger Ben Army was particularly eye-catching. The red flag is a bit like a red flag or a red flag inlaid with Tartar. However, in the middle of the flag, there is a large six-pointed star. Ao Shan didn't know what the six-pointed star meant, but he felt that the six corners on it were particularly sharp, as if they could pierce Liaodong's heart at any time.
"Change to solid bullets!"
"Keep shooting!"
On the warship of the Tiger Army, there was a cold order.
Tartar wants to run, depending on your luck. If you are hit by a solid bullet, you can only say that you are unlucky.
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
The rumbling of cannon fire continued to ring.
Solid bullets whistled out of the barrel and smashed into the fleeing Tartars.
Vaguely, there seemed to be scattered tartars, hit by solid bullets, and fell to the ground, flesh and blood blurred. The power of solid bullets is much more powerful than that of grape bullets. Even if you're wearing finger-thick armor, a single shot can still beat you to pieces. As long as it is hit, it is the result of a life or serious disability. Of course, it is not easy for a solid bullet to hit a moving target.
"My lord, the Tartars have retreated!"
Li Jicheng came to Zhang Zhun and reported in a low voice.
"Well, I saw it."
Zhang Zhun held up the clairvoyant mirror, nodded and said.
He saw everything just now. He enjoyed such fights. Under the two rounds of grapeshits of the Tiger Ben Army Navy, the Tartars on Changsheng Island lost at least a hundred or dozens of people. The location of Changsheng Island, which is almost equivalent to the chrysanthemum of a tartar, is a very sensitive area. Now, Tiger Benjun gently pricked the chrysanthemum of the Tartar with a needle, I wonder how the Tartar will react? I believe that the feeling of the Tartar must be good.
The Tartars are always a little stupid, as soon as they see the Tiger Ben army retreating, they are desperate to catch up, and they don't even understand the reason why the poor Kou Mo is chasing. Of course, it's not that the Tartars don't understand, but the Tartars aren't afraid. The Tartars have won too many victories in previous battles and don't take the others into account at all. Even if he knew the truth of the poor Kou Mo Chasing, he would not take it to heart. In the world, how can there be a Kou who can help the Tartars?
In fact, there were only twenty snipers ashore in the Tiger Army. In terms of troops, it is simply not worth a bit. However, they succeeded in luring a large number of Tartars to the open beach, and then the Tiger Warrior warships, which had already set up their positions, immediately opened fire, using grapeshoe to kill the Tartars intensively, this way of fighting is just a variant of fishing. However, the Tartars of Liaodong were easily fooled like this.
The only regret is that because of the transfer of troops, Zhang Zhun really does not have much mobile force in his hands. Otherwise, if there are still a few Cangshan ships to cooperate, at least more than half of the Tartars on Changsheng Island will be destroyed. The Marines too. If he could free up a 200-strong marine, Zhang Zhun could even wipe out all the Tartars on Changsheng Island.
It doesn't matter, though. Take a bite of the rice, and you have to take it one step at a time. As long as you can kill more than 100 Tartars in each battle, if you keep going, the Tartars will be slowly consumed. The replenishment of population and resources by the Tartars themselves is a serious problem. The Tiger Ben Army is to grasp this point and kill the killer. No matter what means are used, as long as you can kill the Tartars, it is a good means.
"My lord, do you want to go ashore to examine the corpse of the Tartar?" Li Jicheng came to ask for instructions again.
"No, that's fine. The more wounded Tartar is, the better. Zhang Zhun said lightly.
If all the Tartars on Eternal Island are destroyed, it will be easier for the Tartars to block the news after they have covered up all the corpses. And with the large number of wounded, it is not easy to block the news. So many wounded, with the medical conditions of the Tartars, had to be transferred to the Shenyang nest in order to be treated. In the process of transferring, there must be many Han Chinese who witnessed the tragic condition of these tartars.
In Liaodong, the people who were in charge of miscellaneous work and the people who were responsible for treating the Tartars were basically Han Chinese. Especially the Langzhong doctor and the like, mainly Han Chinese. Zhang Zhun wanted to let these Han people see the tragic situation of the Tartars and know that the Tartars along the coast of Liaodong had been hit by the Tiger Army.
As long as a small number of Han people witnessed the tragic situation of the Tartars, I believe that it will not be long before the entire people of Liaodong will know that the Tiger Ben army has begun to attack the southern coast of Liaodong. In other words, the Tartars will be attacked actively. Liaodong is no longer safe. Tartar is in Liaodong, and it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand.
"My lord, let's go to Jinzhouwei now?" Li Jicheng said again.
"Good!" Zhang Zhun nodded.
Li Jicheng then gave the order, and the fleet slowly turned and sailed towards the southeast.
The fleet led by Zhang Zhun only had Li Jicheng's flagship and three escorted Cangshan ships. Such a force is indeed very weak. The total number of cannons is only thirty, and twelve of them are ordinary Franc machine guns, which are much worse in range and power than the Wyvern cannon.
If it is on the southeast coast, with Zheng Zhilong's pirate group, Zhang Zhun, the governor of the rear army, the supreme commander of the Tiger Ben Army, and everyone around him, all the warships, will suffer a catastrophe. Zheng Zhilong's pirate group's combat effectiveness is too strong.
However, in the Bohai Bay, such a small fleet is already quite safe. Neither the Dengzhou Naval Division nor the Tianjin Naval Division could pose much of a threat to such a fleet. Last time, the Huben Navy used three Cangshan ships to repel the main force of the Dengzhou Naval Division, and as time went by, the strength of the Dengzhou Naval Division was not as good as before. As for the Tianjin sailors, it is strange that they dare to go to sea to find trouble.
At present, the warships of the Tiger Ben Navy are all near Huangcheng Island, intercepting passing Tartar transport ships, so there are only these four warships that Zhang Zhun can draw. Of course, Zhang Zhun's own plan does not need too many warships. His purpose was only to stimulate the Tartars, not to carry out a landing operation. With the current strength of the Huben Army and Navy, a large-scale landing in Liaodong is still not enough.
Why did Zhang Zhun attack Changsheng Island?
The reason is simple, it is to create a tense atmosphere.
Although the Tartars suffered an unprecedented defeat in Huangxian, and although Dolgon and Duoduo were besieged in Dengzhou City, the Tartars in Liaodong were still relatively calm. Huangxian and Dengzhou City are still a little far away from Shenyang, the nest of the Tartars. This distance is not the distance on the map, but the psychological distance.
Shandong, of course, was a long-coveted target of the Tartars, and Dolgon and other slave chieftains had always dreamed of entering the core hinterland of the Ming Kingdom from Shandong. However, in the minds of the Tartars, Shandong was only the area where the looting was located, or the passage on the road to carry out the looting, not the inherent territory of the Tartars. Even Dolgon was not prepared to control Shandong for a long time, and implemented the Eight Banners system in Shandong.
On the contrary, Liaodong is different. After taking control of the whole of Liaodong, the Tartars have made this their sphere of influence, and regarded it as their own backyard. All regions in eastern Liaoning have begun to implement the Eight Banners system. All the Han people were also incorporated into the Han military flag. The Tiger Ben Army's attack on Liaodong is tantamount to directly challenging the homeland of the Tartars.
Zhang Zhun didn't want the Tartars of Liaodong to be so calm. Calm is easy to calm down. When people are calm, it is not easy to make wrong decisions. Huang Taiji is not an easy person to deal with, and if he doesn't make the wrong decision, it won't be easy to defeat him. The best way to want the other party to make a mistake is, of course, to provoke the other party.
Huang Taiji is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, Zhang Zhun believes that Huang Taiji will also be angry and will also lose his mind. An ordinary person who is provoked to make a wrong judgment will not bring too serious consequences. However, if you make a mistake as the ruler of a country, it may have extremely serious consequences. Zhang Zhun wanted Huang Taiji to make a wrong decision and hasten the demise of the Dajin Kingdom.
In fact, the Tiger Ben Army now has the strength to conquer Dengzhou City and completely annihilate the defenders inside. Dorgon and Dodor, either killed or captured, there could be no other way out. However, Zhang Zhun did not attack. He wants to use this bait to catch more big fish and get more benefits. Once the Tartars of Liaodong lose their cool, the Tiger Ben army can reap greater benefits.
The Tartars of Changsheng Island were attacked, and after Huang Taiji received the report, he must be suspicious, and appropriate arrangements must be made. At the same time, after the other slave chiefs knew about this, they would also have their own plans. Once the contradictions between the slave chieftains intensified, the Tiger Ben Army had more opportunities. Of course, all this needs time to prove and time to brew.
Now, that's just the beginning.
In late August, the wind direction was very chaotic, one moment was the north wind, the other was the south wind, Zhang Zhun led this small fleet, sailing on the coast of Liaodong, the speed was fast for a while, slow for a while, all the sailors were busy, constantly adjusting the height and direction of the style.
Zhang Zhun just had enough time to observe the coastline of eastern Liaodong. In fact, many coastlines in Liaodong have traces left by the Ming army, and the Tartars have not had time to eliminate these traces. In the clairvoyant mirror, Zhang Zhun can vaguely see many abandoned docks or ports. These wharves or ports were left behind by the Han people who used to live in Liaodong. The Tatars controlled Liaodong, and the Han were forced to move inward, and these wharves or ports were abandoned.
According to the information synthesized from the Ming army, there are more than 500,000 Han Chinese living in this rich land of Liaodong. Most of these Han Chinese were slaves of the Tartars, who were responsible for farming, raising horses, taking care of household chores, and waiting for the Tartars. Their status is the lowest, and the Tartars can kill them at any time. A small number of Han Chinese, who belonged to the Han army, became accomplices of the Tartars.
How to mobilize the Han people in Liaodong and obtain the cooperation of the Han people is a painstaking and long work. Now, the first thing to do is to gradually awaken their numb hearts and let them see hope. Perhaps, a series of artillery sounds along the coast of Liaodong can slowly do this.
"My lord, there is Jin Zhouwei in front." Li Jicheng said.
"Quietly docking." Zhang Zhun said quietly.
Li Jicheng agreed.
Jinzhouwei was not far from Fuzhouwei, and after two or three hours of sailing, in the afternoon, Zhang Zhun and the others came to Jinzhouwei. According to Zhang Zhun's order, the fleet slowed down and quietly docked. Sailing along the coast of Liaodong has the advantage of being very easy to hide the whereabouts of the fleet.
If you were somewhere else, at least there would be fishing boats or something, and you would find traces of the fleet. But in Liaodong, there are no fishing boats in sight. Because the Han people who lived hundreds of miles along the coast were forcibly asked by the Tatars to relocate to the interior. The tartars themselves do not understand water nature, so they cannot go out to sea to fish, so naturally there are no fishing boats.
In fact, not to mention fishing boats, not even waterfowl can not see a single one. The coastal area of Jinzhouwei was lifeless, and it felt as if there was no life. I don't know why, but there is always a lot of debris floating on the surface of the sea near here, probably flowing from the inland river. When you see these messy debris, you know how bad the inland of Liaodong is.
According to intelligence, there were 1,500 Tartars stationed in Jinzhouwei, as well as 3,000 rebels. These rebels were all brought over by Kong Youde at the beginning, and they have been working hard for the Tartars for several years. In terms of troops, it is still relatively strong. At the same time, because those rebels have defected for too long, they have undergone many internal purges, and their concept of the Ming Kingdom has become weak. Therefore, Zhang Zhun didn't expect to be able to plot them anyway. Simply, just wipe them out all together.
"Tartar!"
"About three hundred!"
The lookout post on the mast immediately issued a warning.
A moment later, Zhang Zhun also found traces of the Tartar in the clairvoyant mirror. In the bay directly in front of us, there is a group of Tartars, who are practicing water sex on the shore. They were obviously a little at a loss about the arrival of the Tiger Army's ships. He saw the ship coming, but he didn't dodge it immediately. Probably the Tartars never dreamed that the warships of the Tiger Ben Army would actually appear at this time. The Tartars of Liaodong have never seen the military flag of the Tiger Ben Army. The Tartars who had seen the banner of the Tiger Ben Army were either killed or besieged in Dengzhou City.
"!"
"What an eye-opener!"
"Tartar is actually practicing swimming, too!"
Li Jicheng scolded fiercely.
