It was the 20th year of Chongzhen in the southern court and the fourth year of Haojing in the northern court. It was March 1, 1647 in the Western calendar.
A certain new emperor led the Ming army, the French army, the German army, and the Japanese army, with a total strength of 700,000.
The infantry, artillery, and tank units first sailed to Tianjin by ship, and then were transported by sea to land on the beach east of Gaizhouwei.
The 20,000 cavalry went to Shanhaiguan first to join Wang Zaijin's 30,000 cavalry, and then went north with the fleet.
A certain new emperor actually still had a lot of cavalry in his hands, but due to the terrain limitations of Liaodong, the cavalry only needed to assist the infantry in combat.
Cavalry vs. cavalry, unless all of them are equipped with revolvers, the Ming cavalry has little chance of winning in a one-on-one battle with Braided Iron Chaodu.
The opponent is not only large in number, but also has extremely strong defense. Now it is not inferior to the Ming army's plate armor cavalry.
Therefore, the focus of the new emperor's battle was on the infantry decisive battle. If the infantry was defeated, it would be the end of the battle.
In order to adapt the participating troops to the mountainous characteristics of Liaodong, a certain new emperor also asked all troops to conduct drills in similar places near the capital.
Qin Liangyu's white-pole army was best at mountain warfare, so he asked this unit to play the role of braided Eight Banners soldiers, and other units took turns to go into battle for one-on-one special training.
A certain new emperor's requirements were not high, he didn't seek a quick victory, as long as the henchmen didn't get "sick" during the fierce battle.
The entire Liaodong, except for the Western Liaoning Corridor and the northern coast of Liaodong Bay, is basically mountainous.
Although the Shenyang area can be considered a plain, the Ming army had to pass through the Haizhou and Liaoyang passes first.
Since the battle did not require a naval battle, Zhenhai Gong Zheng Zhilong only dispatched 200 warships and focused his defense on the southeast coast.
Prevent the Spanish fleet from emerging from a certain corner and coming to disrupt the situation at the critical moment of the Northern Expedition.
In order to support the Northern Expedition, Zheng Zhilong mobilized more than half of the merchant ships available in the south, reaching more than 2,500 ships.
Inland river style warships and water transport vessels also obeyed the holy will and sailed out of the river to Liaodong Bay, with a scale of no less than 1,800.
There are about 800 merchant ships and about 4,500 fishing boats in the north. In this way, the number of warships and merchant ships cooperating with the King's Northern Expedition reached 9,800.
A certain new emperor estimated that these ships should be enough. If they are not enough, it can only mean one problem, that is, there are too many losers in his team...
There are 4,500 fishing boats supplying 700,000 officers and soldiers, which is equivalent to 156 people per boat.
If the fishing boats can't satisfy the demand, let the merchant ships come aboard together. In short, all the food in the sea must be brought ashore.
The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. Before the battle, he must first get enough seafood.
A certain new emperor is exactly the opposite of a certain father. Only by letting the losers eat and drink enough can they have the strength to braid their hair.
This Northern Expedition is a game of passing three levels. Haizhou is the first level, Liaoyang is the second level, and Shenyang is the third level.
At present, a certain new emperor thinks that the third level is too difficult, so he will focus on the first two levels first.
Zhou Yuji wanted to accompany him, but a new emperor ordered him to guard the capital, and he could not let Huang Taiji's cavalry come to the rescue.
All troops were transported in two batches. A month later, the waters near Lianyun Island were filled with Ming warships and merchant ships.
The Qing scouts on the shore who came out of Gaizhou City were shocked. They were unable to stop the barbarian army from coming ashore, so they could only go back to report the news.
Huang Taiji had already learned about the devil boy's Northern Expedition, and ordered to assemble a large army, and then go south to defend Haizhou.
Taking advantage of the Qing army's familiarity with the nearby terrain, they waited for work, waited for the rabbit, and waited for the barbarian army to take the bait.
Someone once suggested that a partial force could be sent to sneak attack the capital, making it difficult for the devil boy to take care of him.
But Huang Taiji rejected this proposal. At this critical moment, he was determined not to divide his forces.
At the moment, it is just a detailed report. The devil boy has mobilized an army of 700,000 people. The actual situation of the troop dispatch is unknown.
If it is more than 700,000, even if the Qing army has 350,000 troops, it will be difficult to resist.
Ever since Huang Taiji saw the vast number of Ming soldiers and horses at the intersection of the Miao River and the Canal last year, he really believed that the devil boy could mobilize such a large number of soldiers and horses.
The strength of the barbarians was twice that of the king's division. In fact, Huang Taiji was not afraid. The Qing soldiers were well-trained and could fight one against two.
The key is that the demon boy equipped his men and horses with a large number of chariots, which were a powerful weapon to restrain the Qing cavalry from forcibly attacking.
Whether it is plains or mountains, as long as they are protected by chariots, it will be difficult for the Qing soldiers to defeat the barbarian soldiers.
Huang Taiji's bottom line is Liaoyang, and Haizhou can be given up under extraordinary circumstances.
The reason why we defend Haizhou first is to invite you to the urn, so that the Ming army can escape from the coast, so that its fleet can't reach it.
On the other hand, we also want to see what the size of the barbarian army is. If there are no less than 700,000 or 800,000 people coming this time, we will have to lure the enemy deeper again, and then slowly plan for it.
In the Battle of Sarhu that year, the strength of the King's Division of the Qing Dynasty exceeded half of the Ming Dynasty's troops. Moreover, the opponent advanced in four groups, and there was no coordination between the various groups, so they could be defeated by the King's Division one by one.
The demon boy was always cautious in using his troops and rarely divided his troops to advance. If so many men and horses gathered into one big mass and fought in the mountains, it would be difficult for Master Wang to start.
The two red flags were still on guard in Yizhou to prevent the Ming army from suddenly regaining Jinzhou, but staying at the station at this time was meaningless. Huang Taiji sent someone to inform Daishan to quickly join his troops with the main force.
There are only 70 kilometers from Gaizhou to Haizhou, which is less than 120 miles.
If there is no obstruction on the way, the infantry can reach it in three days.
After all the combat troops landed and all the cavalry were assembled, a certain new emperor was not in a hurry to march.
Instead, let all the troops camp in place and wait for the seafood to be caught. Let all the soldiers eat seafood for a week first.
First, it can restore the physical strength of the soldiers, especially those who are seasick, and also allow the horses that have galloped thousands of miles to recover.
Secondly, we should also explore the surrounding reality, especially the movements of pigtails in the area between Gaizhou and Haizhou.
Third, first save some fresh dried fish to make pickled fish meat. For the soldiers, this stuff is definitely more delicious than pickles.
As for kelp, you can bring as much as you want. When Liaodong is suddenly warm but still cold, making soup for three meals can also keep the soldiers warm.
A certain new emperor was never in a hurry when fighting. Even if he couldn't win, just hanging on like this was much better than losing.
The troops are still strong, the equipment is well-equipped, and the food and wages are not low. In this case, retreating unscathed is a success.
When marching and fighting, no one can guarantee victory in every battle, but we must try our best not to suffer a disastrous defeat.
When Napoleon did not go on an expedition to Russia and lost 600,000 of his main force, who on the European continent would dare to rebel?
On May 1st, the weather was fine, and a certain new emperor just ordered the entire army to break camp and advance in the direction of Haizhou Guard.
The front was in charge of the well-trained and experienced French-German forces, the Japanese army was in charge of the right wing, the Ming army was in charge of the left wing, and the Donggung Guards were in charge of the center and rear security.
About 20,000 marines from Denglai Navy and Tianjin Navy were stationed on the shore together with Zheng Zhilong's command to protect the materials unloaded on the beach.
A certain new emperor wants to see if it is the Emperor Taiji who wants to use the tactics of Jin Zi to deal with him...
"Huang Ama! The dog barbarian is here, and the demon boy's flag is also in the formation!"
"Yes! Send me an order to remove the entire army from Qianshan!"
"Ah? This..."
"implement!"
"嗻!"
Hauge didn't expect that Huang Ama actually asked the Qing army to retreat on his own initiative. Wasn't this cowardice of the enemy?
But when the words came to his lips, Hauge didn't dare to say them out, for fear of offending Huang Ama and depriving him of his military power before the battle.
"Order the infantry and artillery units of all ministries to line up along the river and fight to the bitter end. The cavalry will be ambushed in the mountains and surrounding areas, ready to attack at any time!"
"嗻!"
Although the Nansha River is not deep, it is not easy for infantry to cross without boats. Huang Taiji deliberately selected this place as the main battlefield in an effort to stage a second "Saarhu Victory".
Although seven to eight hundred thousand barbarians and Japanese soldiers are scary, as long as our tactics are correct and the soldiers of the three armies fight with their lives, they can create miracles that can be recorded in history!
Fortunately, we didn't rush into a confrontation with the dog barbarian near the canal last autumn. Otherwise, I don't know how much 200,000 pieces of iron would be left to cross the river at this time.
This was Huang Taiji's trump card. The infantry and artillery, which had no choice but to fight, delayed the barbarians' advance. Tie Chaodu came out from the east and dealt a fatal blow to the old enemy.
"Report~! The main force of Donglu was found south of Nansha River, with less cavalry and mainly infantry, with a strength of no less than 100,000!"
"Yeah! Explore again!"
At this time, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Qin Liangyu, the Marquis of Tirena, General Hota Masamori and others were all here to provide business for a certain new emperor.
"Everyone, Huang Taiji abandoned Haizhou and led our army deep into the interior in order to avoid the real situation and attack the weak. The battlefield he chose is located on the river beach, which is convenient for the cavalry to charge. Presumably, the main force of the Donglu cavalry will be ambushed on the east and west sides, so as to In our army's melee with powered infantry
Time to kill. Judging from the map, there are two rivers running north to south on the west side of the battlefield. It is inconvenient for the Donglu cavalry to launch an assault in the direction of the battlefield, so the area around Qianshan Mountain on the east side is very likely to be their hiding place. Mr. Hota, I hope you will
The army can resist the Donglu cavalry charging into the formation, please! "
A certain new emperor had informed Hotta Masamori in advance that as long as he could win the battle, or even severely damage his pigtails without winning, he would give him a shopping voucher with a face value of one hundred thousand taels, so that he could buy it as he pleased.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I and my soldiers are duty bound!"
Of course Hota Masamori is very tempted, and this time he cannot let his soldiers spend the winter empty-handed like last year. After half a year, whether they can make money depends on how successful this trip is.
"Our army's formation remains unchanged, with the French and German forces as the vanguard. If the attack is frustrated, we will stick to the temporary position and take advantage of the artillery fire to engage in firefights with the Donglu!"
Since the emperor wanted to catch a turtle in an urn, a certain new emperor followed his wishes and used his plan.
If you want to fight, then fight!
After holding it in for such a long time, if he doesn't fight again, a certain new emperor will be defeated by 450,000 useless Japanese soldiers!
On the morning of May 8th, the joint forces of the Ming Dynasty entered the scheduled battlefield, and from a distance they saw the braided army that had been lined up and waiting for them for a long time.
The opponent lined up along the river, and it looked like there were more than 100,000 people.
But compared with the vast Ming Dynasty United Forces, it is really not enough.
Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Tang Tong, Luo Dai, Zheng Jiadong, Niu Chenghu and other general officers led 50,000 cavalry to protect the two wings and rear.
After seeing the signal flares flying into the sky, the French and German forces in the vanguard began to slowly advance toward the opponent's position amidst the sound of the horn and using a large number of tanks to cover them.
A certain new emperor didn't use cavalry to charge into battle, but used the powerful European warriors to attack his braids!
The precious cavalry is used to attack the tanks again and cover them up after the tanks block the Braided Iron Chaodu attack.
This time, we cannot easily let go of the braided cavalry who fled from the battlefield. We must pursue them fiercely and not give the opponent a chance to breathe.
Instead of rushing straight up and dying in vain, the European Emperor has ordered a thousand tactical missiles to be fired at the enemy formation!
Aren’t you going to fight against the odds and fight against the odds?
Great!
I will make it happen for you!
Although Braid has also learned to imitate the Ming Dynasty tanks, and has built a large number of them, as many as four to five thousand by visual inspection.
But tanks are made of wood after all, and are just covered with a layer of iron. This thing cannot withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of tactical missiles.
Under the thunderous offensive, the tanks were so fragile, let alone those armored braided infantry.
One thousand tactical missiles were fired at the braided formation on the opposite side in five batches, and the launch location became filled with thick smoke.
There were explosions in the landing area. Fireballs suddenly rose from the ground like popcorn, and the flames instantly swallowed up the living braids around them.
Even if Huang Taiji has the three advantages of time, location, and people, a certain new emperor also has the three advantages of military strength, firepower, and combat effectiveness to compete with it.
After training for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the French and German coalition forces has been improved to a higher level under the training of a certain new emperor.
Whether it is individual soldier combat effectiveness or battalion and company-level advancement, including infantry-tank coordination and infantry-artillery coordination, there has been a significant improvement.
Without the help of the braided heavy cavalry, both sides would not need heavy weapons, and the more than 70,000 French and German troops would be able to defeat the hundreds of thousands of braided infantry on the opposite side.
A certain new emperor specially selected extremely strong men from German mercenaries and formed a giant commando team.
These mercenaries are all over 1.9 meters tall, and no less than 300 of them are over 2 meters tall.
They didn't have enough to eat and didn't have enough clothes to wear at home. But in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they were loyal to a certain new emperor and fought bravely against the enemy, they could eat meat every time.
Each of these three battalion-sized giant commandos was covered in heavy armor and a chicken helmet. They were invulnerable to swords and guns, and could not be pierced by arrows. They each had two revolvers, one long and one short, and carried a hammer or a tomahawk on their back.
In order to feed this army of Japanese soldiers, a certain new emperor spared no expense. The food of more than a thousand people was equal to four to five thousand Japanese soldiers. Taking into account the cost of equipment, the cost was even higher.
When chaos breaks out in the braid formation, it's time for the Giant Commando to show off their skills.
But this commando team is just one of the "new dishes" prepared by a certain new emperor for Huang Tai Chicken!
Different from the previous times, this time a certain new emperor really brought a steam tank!
There were not many of them, just over 800, and nearly 300 broke down on the road, so they had to be pushed around.
These tanks are much larger than ordinary horse-drawn tanks and are actually modified locomotives.
A giant tank paired with a giant assault trooper, a certain new emperor thought it was quite interesting.
Each steam tank carried ten infantrymen, all equipped with revolvers and carrying a large number of grenades.
After rushing into the braid formation, you can throw it down casually, just like throwing a grenade into the water to fry fish!
