Anywhere on the Liaodong Peninsula, including Laotieshan at the southernmost tip, can be considered the home ground of Braid.
For the Japanese army, a good helper of a certain prince, if they want to turn against the foreigners, they must use their strengths and avoid weaknesses and adapt to local conditions to have a chance of winning.
Our most powerful advantage is the fleet, so the battlefield we choose must be close to the seaside, and it is best not convenient for cavalry charges.
Only mountainous areas can realize this original intention, so a certain prince designed a tactical strategy of fighting with his back to the sea.
Laotieshan can be said to be surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is not a peninsula in the true sense, but it is not much different.
Although the mountainous area does not occupy the entire peninsula, about a quarter of the plain area is left in the western part of the peninsula.
But as long as the mountainous area occupies a major area, Braid can be significantly restricted in using cavalry in that area.
Without the cavalry's charge, the overall power of the braid will be greatly reduced.
The Japanese army, which was mainly infantry, would not be at a disadvantage in an infantry battle.
And since both sides of the peninsula can be taken care of by naval guns, the Qing army can only adopt a frontal attack.
What the Japanese are good at and like the most is confronting the enemy. The more enemies they invade, the happier they will be.
The most deadly thing is that the area north of Laotieshan is a plain about eight miles long from north to south and seven miles wide from east to west.
It was not easy for the Qing army to get close to the foot of the mountain, and they would be exposed to Japanese artillery fire for a long time.
How long does it take for a person to run three or four miles?
After running, climb the mountain!
Even if the top of the mountain is only a hundred meters above sea level, doesn’t it still have to be climbed?
You can't fly up there, right?
The Japanese army was waiting on the top of the mountain for Braid to take the initiative to "send him to the door"!
If the Qing army wants to attack Laotieshan, it must pay a certain price.
It is not an easy task to attack a city more than ten meters high.
If it were replaced by a mountain with a height of more than 100 meters, it would make ordinary braid soldiers feel happy.
Run several miles and give each other your head...
A certain prince found it funny just thinking about it!
Before the Qing army arrived on the battlefield, various Japanese army ministries had dug a large number of earthen pits at the foot of the mountain under the orders of "Conquering General" Abe Shigeji.
First use the Folan machine to test-fire, determine the distance and required angle, and then nail stakes on the ground.
From the gun emplacement on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the exact location of the enemy's advance, and then implement artillery fire coverage.
The Japanese army dug dragon-shaped trenches along the ridge, completely unafraid of the bombardment of red cannons.
It was not that the trenches were resistant to attack, but that the red-coat cannon had limited accuracy and could not accurately hit a trench several miles away.
If a cannon were to fire one or two hundred rounds, it is estimated that even if it hits the target, the cannon will not be far away from being scrapped.
The Japanese troops entrenched on the top of the mountain could calmly shoot at the Qing troops who came to attack. It was precisely because of these favorable conditions that Abe Shigetsu decided to finish the battle before retreating.
The more important reason is that many famous people who have not made much money do not want to return to their hometown immediately. After finally going abroad, they have to earn enough money for at least a few months before returning home to enjoy life.
According to legend among the daimyo, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty will invite Japan to send troops next year, but next year is a matter of next year, and there is no way to know what will happen next year.
Only by making all the money in your own pocket can you be at ease. Since the Qing army may come to your door, why not make more money before leaving?
If you kill one of them, you can earn two hundred taels of silver, and if you kill five thousand of them, you can earn one million taels of silver!
In view of the experience and lessons learned from the previous Erlong Battle and the proper preparations for this battle, many daimyo believed that it was not too difficult to achieve this goal.
They have never heard of "trench warfare", have never been exposed to it, and have never won a battle.
But this is especially true for the attacking Qing army. The Japanese army has dual advantages in terrain and firepower.
Even if the battle situation is not satisfactory, can't we still retreat by sea?
This is called "advancing and retreating in a proper way" and "making the right choice"!
From Abe Shigeji to the following daimyo, in fact, they had no intention of actively attacking the Qing army.
The purpose of deciding to adopt the tactical advice provided by the Prince of Ming Dynasty was to achieve the maximum results at the minimum cost.
The Battle of Erryong was ultimately won, but the Japanese army suffered considerable losses, and this was despite having an absolute advantage in strength.
This time the Qing army makes a comeback, and the number of troops it dispatches will definitely not be too small, at least not less than 20,000 to 30,000.
If you take it lightly, you may spit out the fat you eat.
All daimyo from across the country sent troops, and some daimyo even came to supervise the battle in person.
Abe Shigeji cannot treat other people's samurai and ashigaru as victims.
Otherwise, after returning, these daimyo whose troops were severely damaged would criticize them in front of the Tokugawa generals.
He couldn't stand it, and General Tokugawa couldn't stand it even more. Maybe under public anger, he would be stripped of his title of veteran.
In addition to trench warfare, Abe Shigeji also adopted the "rolling defense change method" which was very advanced in this era.
The ten thousand men on the front line would only have to defend for one day and night, and then the ten thousand men on the second line would move forward to relieve them.
After that, half of the troops on the third line will be stationed on the second line, and the troops on the first line will be withdrawn to the third line, which can take two days to repair.
In this way, the Japanese army can ensure that there are always 10,000 energetic soldiers at the front.
The weapons and ammunition were left on the front line, and the soldiers were just moved to the rear so that they could rest lightly.
The Laotieshan area is seven miles long from north to south and nearly six miles wide from east to west, which also ensures that the Japanese army has enough room for maneuver.
If the war situation develops beyond our expectations and becomes very passive, the Japanese army can escape from the sea overnight under the cover of night.
Unlike the Qing army, more than half of the Japanese army could swim. Even if they could not board the ship directly, they could just jump into the sea at a critical moment. After floating for a while, someone would naturally pick them up and board the ship.
In order to cover the Japanese troops who were serving, Denglai Navy and Zheng Zhibao's fleet dispatched more than 500 ships of various types. This did not include the large number of fishing boats that fished nearby to provide meat.
Zheng Zhibao also led the main force of the fleet back after destroying the left wing navy of the Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, we maintain contact with the Japanese troops who landed on Gwanglu Island and can send troops to support at any time.
The Ming-Japanese allied forces could reinforce Guanglu Island by sea and land, but it was impossible for the Qing army.
The troops stationed on the east coast of the peninsula were very limited, and more than half of them were annihilated by Zheng Zhibao's fleet.
Even if Huang Taiji knew the situation there and sent reinforcements, they would still be able to arrive in a short time.
The reinforcements could not swim to Guanglu Island, because under the sweep of Zheng Zhibao's fleet, there were not many fishing boats left along the coast.
The fishermen received the money from Master Zheng Wu and ate the rice they carried back, so they were no longer in a hurry to go fishing. They would have time to wait until the new boat was built.
They can wait, but the defenders on Guanglu Island cannot wait. But if they can't wait, they have to wait. They can either continue to hold on or surrender directly. There is no third way.
Going to the sea is the third way. How many Eight Banners soldiers are good at water?
Without the Eight Banners soldiers on the island to suppress them, the slave soldiers who were just like the wallflowers can turn around and join their new masters...
The reason why Zheng Zhibao returned to his army confidently and boldly was because he saw that all the Tatars on Guanglu Island had become turtles in the urn.
After hearing that Mao Yuanyi led the Denglai Navy to annihilate the Gou Tatar right-wing navy in one fell swoop, Zheng Zhibao felt even more relieved while being happy.
Now the two wings of the dog were broken, and he could no longer flutter in the sea.
The Tatars on Guanglu Island eat whenever they want, whenever they want!
After the two fleets merged, their strength increased sharply.
The entire fleet has nearly a hundred Hongyi cannons, more than 300 cannons, and as many as a thousand Folang machines.
It can be said that the overall firepower of this large fleet is almost the same as that of the more than 100,000 Qing troops.
And because it is mounted on a warship, its anti-strike capability is much higher than that of artillery units without cover on land.
"Hurry! Hurry! Don't delay me!"
One by one, the Fende Bashkus wearing helmets drove away their men who were marching slowly, and launched an attack on the mountains on the opposite side.
In Niu Lu, "Fengde Bashiku" is a low-level military attache, and his status is not as good as "Bashiku", a civilian official in charge of records and support. However, Niu Lu Zhangjing mainly had to rely on them when leading troops to fight.
The Tianzhu Army commanded by King Zhishun Shang Kexi is different from the Four Banners of the Han Army. Even the "Bashiku" there is served by the Eight Banners, but the soldiers below are all Han.
The purpose of this is to control the army, reduce the possibility of collapse and surrender, and also to place the Eight Banners disciples in a better-paying position.
The most obvious example is the real stone pillar on the forehead of the Han Army's Gushan. The name sounds like a Han, but in fact it is a bannerman whose surname is "Shi". He can speak fluent Mingyu, so he was appointed as the banner master by Huang Taiji.
This situation does not yet exist in the Tianzhu Army. This army is completely obedient to the orders of King Zhishun Shang Kexi, but the establishment and job titles are in accordance with the regulations of the Qing Dynasty.
In the Qing Dynasty, the Tianzhu Army with more than 10,000 troops was considered a super-staffed team in an absolute sense. However, Huang Taiji did not have high requirements for the "three shun kings" and the management was not strict, so he could stand out in his own way.
In order to make new contributions to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty, and to avoid being scolded by Prince Rui, Shang Kexi, who was the vanguard of the entire army, was determined to win the battle. Among other things, he wanted his troops to capture a mountain first.
The Tianzhu Army arrived at Wenjiatun via Taiyang Valley, Yangshu Valley, and Yahuzui. In front of them was an unusually open plain, and not far away were the mountains where the scouts had hidden the dog barbarians.
"Kill the barbarian!"
"Come on~!"
More than 3,000 days of assisting soldiers, led by the divided Bashkus, ran all the way to the foot of the mountain not far away.
As expected, the foot of the mountain was full of pits, which instantly slowed down the advance of the Tianyou Army.
You can keep running at the same speed as before, unless you no longer want your ankle.
"Does the dog barbarian defeat Mr. Bei Zi with this thing?"
"Haha! That's right!"
The two Tianzhu soldiers who had seen the big scene in Jinzhou looked down upon the barbarian's crude tactics.
If digging a bunch of pits can block the Qing heavenly soldiers, Zu Dashou will not be blocked in Jinzhou City and unable to move.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Just as a group of Tianzhu soldiers passed through the edge path between the pits, they reached the middle of the pit formation.
Suddenly there was a loud sound of artillery on the top of the mountain, puffs of smoke rose, and groups of artillery shells immediately came towards us.
"ah……"
The Tianzhu soldiers were all killed and caught off guard, and were caught by the shells.
There is no hiding place here, and only some of the people are equipped with shields.
But the shield was far from able to withstand the kinetic energy of the cannonball, and even the person wearing the shield was penetrated.
The blood spilled from the cavity quickly dyed the nearby pit red.
One of the guys who had just dug a hole in Joke Manzi was very unlucky, and his head was cut off by a cannonball.
He was instantly beaten into a headless corpse. His body stood there for a while and then fell to the ground.
Want to run?
It's not that easy!
These pits dug at the foot of the mountain are naturally used either to deal with cavalry or to deal with infantry.
The high-speed Folang machine deployed on the top of the mountain shoots down at the enemy targets at the foot of the mountain, as fast as turning over the ground.
Human limbs and soil were blown up by the cannonballs, so frightened that many Tianzhu soldiers, who were almost like flies, bumped into one another.
Originally it was just that the advancement speed dropped after encountering the pit, but when it encountered artillery fire, the offensive completely disappeared.
Separated by a distance of two to three hundred meters, the leading troops of the Tianyou Army were passively being beaten, with no chance to fight back.
Due to the existence of the pit, the carts could not move forward and could not play any role in covering the infantry charge.
"Don't leave me!"
"Wait~!"
The guy with a sprained ankle and the unlucky guy with a broken leg were both calling to their companions not to abandon them and retreat without permission.
However, they are not commanders like "Bent Bashiku", so who will listen to their nonsense?
It's important to stay alive at this time. If you rush forward, your head will be moved or your legs will be removed.
After everyone had their heads and faces slashed by the shells, they all turned around and ran away.
Kill barbarians?
Let’s talk about this later!
What a barbarian who kills a bird egg when his life is almost at risk? ? ?
Because they were unprepared during the attack, the Tianyou Army was killed and wounded no less than two to three hundred people.
After King Zhishun Shang Ke was pleased to see this, he couldn't help but look a little dull when he put down his telescope.
There is a pit at the bottom of the mountain!
Mount cannon on the top of the mountain!
Presumably Bei Ziye Shuotuo encountered a similar situation in Erlong Mountain, right?
How could a dog barbarian be so good at fighting now?
Shouldn't it? ? ?
"Send the order, stop the attack, let Bao Yi carry the sacks up to fill the hole first!"
Shang Kexi didn't want to lose his men and horses in vain, so he asked the wrapped Aha to rush to the front of the battle carrying sacks filled with soil.
This is what these minions are for. Shang Kexi originally took them with him to fill in the moat outside Lushun City.
The attack at the front has been frustrated. Now it’s better. It’s time to fill in the river. One by one, let’s fill in the hole!
"Order the artillery team! Bombard the barbarians on the top of the mountain!"
Shang Kexi did not blame his subordinates. He had little experience in this kind of situation and could only resort to tricks.
The Heavenly Help Army is not without weapons to fight back, equipped with hundreds of large and small artillery pieces.
Since the dog barbarian is stubborn and dares to occupy this place and resist, then don't blame me for being rude.
Shang Kexi also has twenty red-coated cannons, which are used to bombard the enemies entrenched on the top of the mountain.
But it is not easy to achieve precise strikes in a short time, and the red cannon cools down very slowly.
It takes half an hour to fire four rounds. In other words, if you want to use the red cannon to take down the enemy on the top of the mountain, you have to wait at least half an hour.
If the first four shots fail, the infantry brigade's attack time will have to be postponed.
Otherwise, we would have to attack the mountains against the enemy's shells, and the number of casualties would be foreseeable.
"Boom boom boom!"
The heavy artillery unit deployed two miles away opened fire first.
After many adjustments to the angle, the first salvo failed to hit the target.
The cannonballs either fell at the foot of the mountain, or halfway up the mountain, or they simply flew over the top of the mountain to kill birds...
Compared with the bombardment effect of the dog barbarians on the top of the mountain, the Heavenly Blessing Army here simply makes Shang Ke happy and unspeakable!
What kind of thing is this?
This king will let you wait and blast the top of the mountain!
It's a good thing for you, except for the top of the mountain, all other positions are reserved...
Are all your usual meals in vain? ? ?
