Chapter 574: Tartar Wants to Live in Peace? Dreaming, right?
"This Zhang Zhun! What a hassle! ”
Received a report from Zwirner,.
Why is this Tiger Ben Army so active? Actually ran to Gaizhou Wei to spread wild?
In his high position, he was not surprised by the arrival of the Tiger Army. The scope of activities of the Tiger Ben Army Navy is getting bigger and bigger, and one day it will eventually include Lianyun Island, and Dai Shan can think of it early on. However, he was still a little surprised that the expansion speed of the Tiger Ben Army Navy was so fast. Originally, I thought that the remnants of the Dengzhou Navy Division could survive until next year in Gaizhouwei. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun came to the door in a daze.
In any case, this feeling of being passively beaten is always uncomfortable. Since the Battle of Sarhu, Dajin has not had this kind of passive experience of being beaten. Every battle with the Ming army ended in the victory of the Dajin army. Every time it fought, the Dajin army had to get a lot of benefits from the hands of the Ming army. Over time, the subjects of the Dajin Kingdom have become accustomed to taking the initiative to bully people, and they have never been bullied.
However, since the appearance of the Tiger Army, the Dajin Army has begun to taste the taste of being bullied. The fiasco of Huangxian and the siege of Dengzhou City, not to mention for the time being, the coastline of Liaodong alone has become very unstable. The Huben Navy regards the coastline of Liaodong as the backyard of his home, and he can come and go whenever he wants, which makes the whole Dajin Kingdom feel very depressed, but there is no good way.
Dajin Guo does not have its own sailors, which is the most troublesome thing. The absence of a sailor means that you are no match for the enemy at all. The absence of a sailor means that the enemy can use the sea to bully themselves. If there is no water master, it means that Dengzhou City is at the doorstep, and it is impossible to pass. The absence of a naval division means that the enemy can attack the Dajin Kingdom from any corner of the ocean.
If Dajin had a water division, there would not have been two Baylors trapped in Dengzhou City, and the fiasco in Huangxian might have been avoided. If Dajin had a naval division, Shandong would have been under the iron hooves of the Dajin army. If Daejin has a naval division, it can copy the back road of the Ming army, bypass the Shanhai Pass, and march towards the land of Gyeonggi. If Dajin has a naval division, it can even consider directly crossing the Bohai Bay and attacking the Beijing division.
After the siege of Dengzhou City, Dajin Kingdom made up its mind to prepare for the construction of the water division, but the work has not yet had time to begin. To build a water master, it is not only enough to have wood, but also a large number of craftsmen. Obviously, the Dajin Kingdom itself did not have shipbuilders. The number of shipbuilders obtained from Dongjiang Town is also not large enough, and the technology mastered is not comprehensive enough. After all, Dongjiang Town is not a professional team of sailors. The craftsmen of the Dengzhou Water Division have also lost a lot. In order for Daejin to build a naval division, it had to be assisted by a Korean naval division.
Due to the defeat in the battle of Huangxian, the attitude of the North Korean side towards Daejin seems to have changed a little. The king of Joseon, Yi Zong, seems to have begun to become friendly again. Although this change is very subtle, however, Daishan is still aware of it. Obviously, this phenomenon is definitely not a good thing.
Originally, Daejin wanted to send some craftsmen from North Korea to help build the water division. The address is near Changsheng Island. As a result, Zhang Zhun made a mess on Changsheng Island, and this plan had to be abandoned. With Zhang Zhun's personality, if he found out that Dajin Guo was building a sailor there, he would definitely attack it with all his might. If you are not careful, the timber, craftsmen, and other raw materials prepared by Dajin Kingdom may be taken away by Zhang Zhun, and Zhang Zhun will be cheapened in vain.
If Dajin Kingdom wants to build a sailor safely, it can only choose to build a sailor in North Korea, relying on the protection of North Korea, and quietly build a sailor. However, it is also unsafe. The devil knows whether Zhang Zhun will directly fight North Korea. Do you think Zhang Zhun doesn't even care about the Ming court, and will he still take North Korea in his eyes? If it is found that North Korea is secretly helping the Tartars to build a naval division, it will not be done well, and the Tiger Ben Navy will directly kill North Korea.
It is said that Mang Gurtai and Abatai are war maniacs, and they are uncomfortable if they don't fight for a day. In fact, this Zhang Zhun is the real war maniac. If you look at the whole world, almost all of them are his enemies. It's just that the whole world is his enemy, but this guy is still alive and well. I don't know if it's because the shaman is old and looks away, or what. How can there be such a person in this world?
Of course, the Dajin Kingdom is not a place completely devoid of shipbuilding. At the very least, on the other side of Korea, on the side closer to Japan, it is possible to quietly build ships. A very important purpose of Huang Taiji's southern strategy this time is to rob the talents of the construction of the water division from the inside of the Ming Kingdom. There is a lot of timber in the white mountains and black waters, and as long as there is enough manpower, you can build a boat.
As for the moment, with the Tiger Ben Navy raging, there is only a temporary defensive. No matter how provocative the Tiger Army Navy is, the Dajin Army should not fall into the trap of the other party. Even if you die in battle, it's a pity. The Dajin Army only has a few hundred Niu Lu, and if one dies, there is one less. To fight for the population, Dajin Guo is not the opponent of Ming at all. Everything has to wait until Huang Taiji successfully loots back from the Ming Kingdom.
"Shen Yi is stoic, and he is slowly drawing."
Dai Shan had no choice but to tell Zona like this.
He especially reminded Zhuona that as long as he guarded the Gaizhou Guard, there was no need to go out and compete with the Tiger Army. In particular, don't get entangled with the Tiger Ben Army within the range of the Tiger's navy's artillery fire. If Zonner and the Tiger Army had come hard, they would have suffered even greater losses.
In fact, Dai Shan believed that under the current conditions, the Tiger Ben Army could only attack and harass Liaodong at most, and it was impossible to attack on a large scale. The main reason for the current situation is that the Tiger Army has a navy, while the Dajin Army does not have a navy. The Tiger Army relied on the power of the navy.
Once the Tiger Army really came ashore, and broke away from the artillery cover of the Tiger Army's navy, a large number of Manchurian cavalry, as well as Mongolian cavalry, were enough to knock the Tiger Army out of. In a plain area like Liaodong, the Tiger Ben Army is definitely not an opponent of the Dajin Army. In this regard, Dai Shan has full confidence.
Gaizhou City is more than ten miles away from the shore, and it is just beyond the artillery fire of the Huben Army and Navy, and there is no problem in holding Gaizhou Guard. If the Tiger Ben army launched an attack on Gaizhou Wei, the other Tartar cavalry would definitely quickly reinforce and inflict heavy losses on the Tiger Ben army around Gaizhou City. In the field, Dai Shan is even more confident.
After receiving Dai Shan's reply, Zona obediently defended the city with peace of mind.
As a result, Zhang Zhun's plan fell through.
Zhang Zhun's original plan was to induce the Tartars to take the initiative to attack, and then take the opportunity to kill them. The more frantic the Tartars' counterattack, the greater the casualties inflicted on the Tartars by the Tiger Army. However, Dai Shan wanted to wait for the infantry of the Tiger Army to come ashore, and then annihilate him, and resolutely no longer fight with the Tiger Army on the beachhead for casualties. The plans of both sides are just the opposite.
Because of Dai Shan, Zhang Zhun's plan did not succeed. Since they did not succeed, then the soldiers of the Dingzi battalion did not fight for the time being. Gaizhouwei's Tartars are obviously impossible to land on Lianyun Island again. However, there was no battle in this one, but there was no battle in Gaizhouwei, and in Liaodong, some were Tartars, and some were fighting. The key is whether you have the courage to fight and whether you have the ability to beat the Tartars.
"Let's go to Donghai Fort!"
Zhang Zhun said awe-inspiringly.
"Good!"
Li Jicheng and the others were secretly happy when their eyes lit up.
Donghai Fort was originally a fortress built by the Ming army, and as one of the important supporting castles of Jinzhou City, its geographical location is very important. It is located in the innermost part of the Bohai Bay, west of Jinzhou City occupied by the Ming army, northwest is the Tatar occupation of Dalinghe Fort (also called Dalinghe City, that is, the original Guangning Zhongzuo, the address is near today's Jinxian). Now it's called Linghai City. To the east and north were large areas controlled by the Tartar cavalry.
From the time of Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, and Yuan Chonghuan, the main strategy of the Ming army in Liaodong to resist the capture was to repair the fortress. The use of large and small castles, interlaced with each other, to build a strong castle defense line, greatly limited the mobile combat ability of the Tartar cavalry. The Ming army was no match for the Tartars in field warfare, and only relied on strong castles and advanced firearms to block the Tartars' attacks.
It turned out that the Tartars really did not have a very good way to deal with the solid defense of the Ming army. Before the Tartars had the redcoat cannon, they were not very strong. It can be said that the current Jinzhou defense line of the Ming army is very strong. Even if Huang Taiji mobilized the strength of the whole country, he would not be able to break through this line of defense. The Battle of Dalinghe fully demonstrated Huang Taiji's talent, and in the end, he only conquered Dalinghe City, but did not conquer Jinzhou.
Donghai Fort is the southeasternmost fortress of Jinzhou defense line, which was built by Sun Chengzong when he was in office, and has always been garrisoned by more than 1,000 Ming troops. Later, the Ming army's strategic planning was adjusted, and the Donghai Fort was abandoned, and the Tartars immediately occupied it. Later, the Ming army tried to regain it, but it was unsuccessful. After the fall of Dalinghe City, the Ming army completely abandoned Donghai Fort. Due to the frequent battles, the wilderness around Donghai Fort does not know how many lives of Ming warriors were buried.
The so-called Liaodong is no small matter, and something is a big thing. The Ming army and the Tartars in Liaodong were in a tense state of confrontation. Once a battle breaks out, it immediately turns into a large-scale battle. For example, when the Ming army attacked Donghai Fort, the Tartars would inevitably come to reinforce them, and the cavalry of the Ming army would inevitably intercept the reinforcements, and the Tartars would inevitably try to destroy the cavalry of the Ming army...... In this way, around this small fortress, the troops invested by both sides may be tens of thousands or even tens of thousands.
Therefore, if there is no need, the Ming army will not act rashly. The cavalry of the Tartars was too strong in field combat, and the Ming army was not an opponent at all. Similarly, if the Tartars do not have a well-planned plan, they will not attack easily. The population of the Tartars is too small, and if you die, you will have one less, and there will be no worthless death, which is very taboo for Huang Taiji.
In fact, since the end of the Battle of Dalinghe, the Liaodong front has been calm for many years. The Ming army held Jinzhou to the death, and the Tartars could not capture it, so they had to make a detour to the Horqin grassland and enter the interior of Kouming. On the Liaodong front, there is basically no war.
According to Chen Yaoyang, the Tartars stationed at the East Sea Fort were subordinate to the Red Banner. The banner owner with the red flag, after the adjustment of Huang Taiji, became the sixth son of Nurhachi. Compared to the other brothers, Tabai was definitely an honest man. Well, in Chinese, it's a bit silly. Huang Taiji made him the owner of the red flag, apparently to oppose the banner owner of the red flag, Azig.
Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo and the other three were all deeply liked by Nurhachi, and even if Huang Taiji wanted to deal with them, he couldn't deprive them of their position as banner masters. Since they could not cancel their position as banner masters, and they could not openly reduce the number of their cattle records, they could only replace the elite cattle records through some special means, and at the same time send people to contain them.
The Tartars stationed at the East Sea Fort were led by a Niu Lu Zhangjing. This Niu Lu Zhangjing's name is Sedeli. Because Donghai Fort is behind the flank of Dalinghe City, the main defense in peacetime is the attack of the Daming Water Division, and the Daming Water Division has not participated in a real battle for a long time. Therefore, the Tartars of the East Sea Fort are relatively lax.
"Li Jicheng, the fleet will be handed over to you to command!"
After Zhang Zhun made the decision to attack Donghai Fort, the first thing he did was to form a relatively fixed fleet of all the warships, which was specially used to attack the coastal Tartars. The commander of this fleet is Li Jicheng. At present, the fleet consists of a total of six Fu ships, five Cangshan ships, and the number of artillery pieces exceeds eighty. It was mainly the Marine Corps that cooperated with the operation. As for the Dingzi camp, I still have to go back to Cangzhou in the future.
After thorough preparations, Li Jicheng led the fleet to the East Sea Fort. Because it was a north wind, after a full twelve hours of sailing, Li Jicheng's fleet finally came to the outside of Donghai Fort. At this time, it happened to be the middle of the day.
"My lord, there is Donghai Fort ahead."
Huang Shijun came up to report.
"Hmm!"
Zhang Zhun nodded.
In fact, he had already found traces of Donghai Fort in the clairvoyant mirror. It's a pretty sturdy fortress...... This is nonsense, if the fortress in Liaodong is not strong, can it resist the attack of the Tartars? This is related to the life of his own family, and the successive governors, managers, and supervisors dare not slack off in terms of the quality of the castle's engineering.
In the vicinity of Donghai Fort, there is no pier, and the warships can only dock slowly. The Tartars in the East Sea Fort immediately discovered the arrival of the Tiger Army. Soon, billowing black smoke began to rise. In Liaodong, both the Tartars and the Ming army were able to skillfully use the beacon tower to quickly transmit information.
However, Zhang Zhun and the others were not worried at all. Because, the purpose of the Tiger Ben Army is to attract a large number of Tartars to come, and then use the naval artillery fire to annihilate them. If there were no accidents, the Tartars stationed in Dalinghe City should soon arrive for reinforcements. Perhaps, the Ming army stationed at Songshan Fort may also come to join in the fun. According to the intelligence, the commander of the Ming army stationed at Songshan Fort was Huang Degong, who Zhang Zhun had some impressions, a fierce general of the Ming army nicknamed "Huang Chuangzi", and his current position was to be a general.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Some of the Tartars appeared on the coast and fired arrows at the ships of the Tiger Army.
These Tartars are also weird, probably because they haven't seen the power of the Tiger Warrior Navy, and they think that they can block the attack of the Tiger Warrior Navy with a bow and arrow. They had no idea that when they appeared on the beachhead like this, it would be tantamount to sending their lives into the mouth of the tiger.
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
The flying dragon cannon of the Tiger Ben Army Navy, of course, will not be polite, and roared happily.
A series of grape bombs smashed down, and it was like a hailstorm on the shore. The Tartars were caught off guard and were immediately smashed to the ground, screaming miserably. Tartars' bows and arrows, fur hats, armor, and other miscellaneous items were scattered all over the ground. Blood ran down the river beach, staining the water on the shore red. The surviving Tartars saw that the opportunity was not good, and hurriedly retreated.
The soldiers of the Huben Army Marine Corps and the Dingzi Battalion immediately swaggered ashore and then launched an attack on Donghai Fort. The purpose of the Tiger Ben Army is to cause panic among the Tartars and make them unable to live in peace, so the bigger the momentum, the better. Tartar wants to live in peace? Dream on! In order to cheer, Mao Huihui and others also drove the Cangshan boat to the closest place and used solid shells to launch an artillery bombardment on Donghai Fort.
Soon, the Tokai Fort was put into combat mode. The East Sea Fort was out of the range of the Wyvern Cannon, and the soldiers of the Marine Corps and the Dingzi Battalion could not get cover from the artillery fire. However, there was only one Niulu's Tartar, which obviously could not stop the approach of the Tiger Ben army. What's more, in the hands of the Tiger Army, there is also a big killing weapon that has just been activated.
"Come!"
"Pick up the bucket!"
Zhou Yanyu kept waving to the back and shouted excitedly.
The Dingzi battalion has not used this kind of conscienceless cannon, but when he heard that the power is quite fierce, Zhou Yanyu wanted to see for himself how fierce the conscienceless cannon was. Lei Shenzhou and the others had never seen the power of the conscienceless cannon, so they personally carried the big iron bucket over. Soon, the large iron bucket was placed, and it was only less than twenty feet away from Donghai Fort. The position is just behind a ridge, which can effectively resist the arrows of the Tartars.
"Bang!"
The first ** bag was quickly ejected.
The bag rolled crookedly in mid-air, emitting black smoke, and then fell inside the castle, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The Tiger Army outside the castle couldn't help but look forward to it, and the Tartars on the city were also a little surprised, not knowing what the Tiger Army threw in.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of the sky cracking and the earth cracking, and the entire Donghai Fort seemed to shake violently. It can be clearly seen that the dust on the walls of Donghai Fort is falling down in a fine stream, as if an earthquake has occurred.
The city of Donghai Fort was suddenly in chaos. The violent explosion directly leveled a large number of buildings in the city. Many nearby Tartars were shocked to pieces on the spot, and they bled to death. Even the Tartars on the head of the city felt a powerful impact.
