Chapter 1436: Offensive and Defensive Conversion
Although the external expansion of the Haihan was mainly based on islands in most cases, there were also records in the history of conquest in the past to conquer fortresses and even large cities, the largest of which was the Hue City, which was known as the first heroic city in the Indochina Peninsula when the Haihan intervened in the civil war in Annam. Compared with the city with three moats inside and outside and tall stone walls, the Jinzhou Fortress that the Haihan army is currently facing is indeed not a particularly powerful fortification.
However, compared with the weak South Vietnamese armed forces at that time, the strength of the Houjin army, which was stationed in the defense line of the Jinzhou fortress at this time, was obviously much higher. Not only did they have thousands of experienced cavalry, but they also had firearms brought by the Ming army who defected to Later Jin and the corresponding defense tactics, all of which greatly increased the defensive strength of this defensive line.
The fortified line of defense runs east-west across the narrowest part of the Isthmus of Kinju, with two main forts and three smaller forts adjacent to it, and the five forts are connected by earthen walls about five or six feet high, and the entire line stretches for several miles. To pass through this line of defense, you either have to go by sea, or you have to pass through the two main forts. And it is precisely because of the existence of this line of defense that it is almost impossible for the Han people who have been relocated from this place to escape back from the north, so after the Haihan take the southern region of Jinzhou, they will find that this place is as desolate as no man's land.
If it was just to seek a breakthrough point in this line of defense, it would not be difficult for Haihan to speak of, but the results that Qian Tiandun and the others wanted were not just to tear down a wall.
