Facing the mighty enemy fleet, the three generals Yang Zhan, Tang Tong, and Luo Dai did not expect that Donglu could invade from the sea.
Now I'm afraid it's too late to send people south to seek help from Hong Dushuai. The only solution for now is to fight to the death.
King Fu Zhu Changxun was willing to lead his country's troops into the war, but he still refused to let go of the silver reward.
Silver is Zhu Changxun's life. If you want money, you will lose your life, so if you die, you will die with your money!
"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty! All the barbarians on the shore are vulnerable to attack. The time has come to make contributions to our Qing Dynasty!"
The commander of the army division in this battle was Zhengbaiqi Mele Zhangjing Xituku. This was a job that Prince Rui Dorgon took the initiative to take over, so he sent his direct generals to personally supervise the battle.
The other group of soldiers responsible for attacking Huiguo was led by Melezhangjing Bohui, who was also a Zhengbai Banner.
Xituku had been leading his troops down the river before, and had no way of knowing that Manming had already reinforced Hui State.
But he had no intention of leading his troops to attack Hui State, because Bo Hui had already taken the lead.
He brought his men and horses over to help in the battle. The first success was Bo Hui's, so Xituku had no intention of attacking him.
It would be a great achievement if he could lead his troops to capture Man Ming's Fuguo, but it would be much more majestic than Bo Hui's.
There are three fully loaded armored ships on the troop transport, all of which are armored infantry, but equipped with a large number of Folan aircraft and a small number of tanks.
Even if Man Ming was on guard in Fuguo, Xituku believed that with the advantage of his own navy's warships, the Qing army would be able to win.
Among the three Jia La, there are two Jia La infantrymen who belong to the two white banners of the Han army, and the other two Niulu infantrymen are borrowed from the two green banners.
Dorgon actually sent only three Niulu troops. Situku was actually responsible for supervising the battle.
Huang Taiji believed that if a partial force was sent to raid the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty in the north, the demon boy would be beyond the reach of these vassal states, and the Qing army would have a great chance of winning.
Moreover, this time we must learn from the previous lessons, not only to attack with cavalry, but also to use the previously built warships to send a large number of infantry over, surprising Man Ming.
"Brothers! Kill the barbarians!"
In order to avoid running aground, the troop transport anchored near the shore, and the armored soldiers of the Qing army had to swim ashore. Fortunately, the journey was not far.
The weak dog barbarians are right in front of you. As long as you kill all the barbarian soldiers, the remaining barbarian people will be your own. You can grab money, food, tea, and cloth at will. How wonderful!
Regarding this wonderful prospect, many armored soldiers who had already vomited several times on the boat finally regained their consciousness. Everyone had been looking forward to this for a long time.
The dog barbarians in the pass relied on their chariots and firearms to resist the Qing army's conquests.
Fortunately, the troops and horses of the northern vassal state were far inferior to those in the pass, and the majestic Qing soldiers could finally take whatever they asked for.
This battle also has a huge advantage, that is, it can use the firepower of naval guns.
The dog barbarians have repeatedly used their navy to run rampant, but now they can finally experience the pain.
Each troop carrier is equipped with four French guns. Even if the eighty-eight troop carriers fire from one side, they can still have hundreds of artillery bombardments on the shore. The projected firepower is quite impressive.
Fortunately, in order to avoid the strong sea wind, the Fuguo capital on the shore was built one mile away from the seaside, beyond the range of the Fo Lang machine.
However, the armored soldiers who began to land on a large scale could not escape life and death. Yang Zhan, Tang Tong, Luo Dai and others all knew that they had to fight to the death, otherwise they would surely become prisoners of the dog Tatars.
Although the Dog Tartars were coming menacingly and were covered by warships, the Ming army had camps and trenches.
The capital of Fuguo is located on the north bank of the Blackwater estuary, and the capital of Huiguo is located on the north bank of the Blackwater estuary.
The distance between the two cities is not too far, and the troops sent by General Hongdu may arrive at any time. This is the hope of the defenders.
Judging from visual inspection, the number of troops landed by the Dog Tatars was only six thousand at most, while the number of defenders was as high as tens of thousands.
After a brief discussion with Tang Tong and Luo Dai, Yang Zhan decided not to leave until reinforcements arrived.
The tactics adopted are also very simple. They voluntarily give up all territory on the outside, which is to shrink their troops and stick to the capital of Fuguo.
The dog Tatars could not rush in, so they could only use artillery to bombard the defenders, or conduct sneak attacks after dark.
Yang Zhan was not afraid of being bombarded at all. After nightfall, he lit a bonfire of wood sprinkled with oil as a lighting bonfire.
The stones heated by the bonfire can also be carried in the arms of the soldiers to keep warm, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Although he is from Sichuan, Yang Zhan has already learned how to fight and survive after leading his troops to garrison in the North for many years.
After the beginning of autumn in the North, the temperature is similar to that of early winter in the north of the country. The seaside is bound to be even colder due to the sea breeze.
The Dog Tartars have lived outside the customs all year round, but if they are new to the country and are not accustomed to the local environment, they will be doing themselves a big favor.
"Let it go~!"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Although the mortar has a simple structure, it is still a magic weapon for the defenders to resist the dog Tatars.
There were not even a tree on the beach and the surrounding areas, and the Qing armored soldiers could not find any bunkers at all.
He could only watch helplessly as one explosive package after another fell from above his head and exploded.
This was all caused by laziness among some lumberjacks in Fuguo. Unexpectedly, there is an unexpected gain today.
The Qing army also carried a lot of mortars. After suffering hundreds of casualties, they set them up and bombarded Manming's camp.
Since he was determined to win the battle, Melezhangjing Situtu had also disembarked, mounted his horse, and supervised the battle.
The fleet also transported dozens of war horses, but it didn't seem to be of much use at this time.
If the infantry and artillery can't open up the situation together, it must be difficult to switch to a real elite cavalry charge.
In any case, Situku planned to launch a large-scale attack after the chariots were assembled.
It would be best if you can defeat them. On the contrary, before sunset, you must know the true and false status of the barbarians here.
There was a lot of food carried on the ship, enough to feed our soldiers for three months.
Despite this, Situku still hoped for a quick victory and did not want to leave the war to the cold weather.
At the beginning of the landing, all the armored soldiers of the Qing army were in a state of excitement, with shouts of killing everywhere, and they were likely to fall in battle.
But after discovering that the dog barbarian on the opposite side was equipped with many chariots, his charging team was scattered into chaos.
The enthusiasm of killing everyone has passed, and I have to calm down and deal with the enemies in front of me cautiously.
The capital wall of Fuguo is a wooden wall, but it is double-layered. Firstly, it can block the wind, and secondly, it can prevent wild animals from entering.
Each layer is at least as thick as a tree trunk as thick as an adult's hands clasped together. It cannot be penetrated with a blunderbuss, and a blast machine must be used to open the gap.
Tanks have been deployed outside the wooden wall. In front of the tanks are two trenches. Many watchtowers have been built on the inside of the wooden wall, which have also become firepower points.
Ming soldiers were either shooting in trenches, hiding behind or on the sides of tank turrets, or standing on ladders and using wooden walls as shields to fire.
This formed a three-layer firepower network of high, medium and low, combined with artillery such as Folang aircraft, mortars, tiger squat guns, and a large number of grenades.
However, the armored soldiers of the Qing army who rushed over were beaten until they screamed and wailed, and many places were dyed reddish brown by the blood flowing out.
Three Jia La's 4,500 men seemed to be a lot, but they only launched one charge and lost no less than 500 men.
After the initial attack failed, the Qing army was forced to retreat for a short rest before reorganizing its forces for a comeback.
Xituku did not believe that he could not defeat the barbarian camp with tens of thousands of people with three armored soldiers in his hand.
The people holding this place cannot be the elite soldiers of the Dog Barbarians, but most likely a group of rabble.
I believe that with just one or two more attacks, the Qing Heavenly Soldiers can bloodbath this camp!
However, contempt turned into contempt. In order to increase the certainty of the victory of the king's army, Xituku ordered his troops to take a temporary rest.
Light a bonfire to warm yourself up, eat some food, regain your strength, and put all your hopes on a night attack.
As soon as the waiting time passed, let the whole army launch an attack on Gou Manzi's camp.
Do you think you can defend this camp?
Go ahead and dream!
Right now, this camp is the cage where he is imprisoned, and after tonight, it will be the tomb where he is buried!
Xituku didn't know how much money King Fu owned, but his master, Prince Yerui, said that King Fu was the richest among the many vassal kings in the barbarians.
Not only did he have one million taels of silver in his hand, but he still had six to seven hundred thousand taels.
In addition to those handed over to the emperor and master, it is quite good to be able to pocket tens of thousands of taels.
The master also said that King Fu had many beautiful and fragrant concubines, and he could see them first when he entered the stronghold.
If you're lucky, you might be able to play a few more. If your dream comes true, it will be a worthwhile trip.
Destroying the Fu Kingdom, capturing the Fu King alive, seizing a large amount of money, and playing with concubines, just thinking about it makes Xituku feel relaxed and happy...
In comparison, the previous losses are not a big deal. In order to get what you want, all the efforts are worth it!
After receiving the order, the Qing troops began to light fires and cook on the shore.
In the harsh sea breeze, simple things like lighting a fire became difficult.
As a last resort, the stove pit could only be moved closer to the inland. Otherwise, you have to eat uncooked rice and dried meat.
This time we also brought a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are just ready to eat after roasting them over the fire, which is slightly better than waiting for the rice to be cooked.
Most of the armored soldiers of the Qing army did not expect that there was a colder place in the world than outside the Pass, let alone a very humid one.
Even the Sauron soldiers transferred from the two green flags felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, they were still warm in their fur coats.
Legs and boots that get wet when landing in water should be dried as soon as possible, otherwise you will easily get sick in a bitterly cold place.
The battle takes place after midnight, and the first priority now is to eat, drink and rest.
After the old men have eaten and drank enough, and then slept for a while, it will be the time for the barbarian opposite to die!
It's just that it seems a little difficult to achieve this small goal, the sea breeze is strong and the wind is howling.
The flags were blown loudly and they had to shout when they spoke, which really made it difficult for the armored soldiers to sleep.
Thousands of people could only close their eyes and rest their minds after the meal, waiting to rush into the Goumanzi's camp before resting.
"Boom boom boom..."
Just after everyone filled their stomachs and planned to find a place to lie down, the rumble of cannons suddenly came from the sea.
Even with dim vision, many ships could still be seen approaching from the distance from the beach.
The opponent's target of attack was not the barbarian camp on the shore, but his own warships on the shore.
This illustrates a problem, that is, the reinforcements of Goumanzi are coming!
How can it be so fast? ? ?
Most of the armored soldiers were puzzled and looked straight at what was happening on the sea.
In fact, this fleet did not set off from Huiguo, but from Jeju Island.
Since Hong Chengchou had become the head coach of the Northland Expeditionary Force, a certain new emperor planned to let Zheng Chenggong go over and try his skills.
The scale of the war there was not very large, and the intensity was not very high either. It was just enough for his disciples to practice fighting instead of training.
For the comfort of his precious son, Zheng Zhilong had to send out large-scale troops.
Five thousand land divisions set out from Fujian, and the fleet met Zheng Chenggong's troops on Jeju Island.
The fleet included sixty-two warships and 335 merchant ships responsible for transporting soldiers and baggage.
There are only two plywood ships among the battleships, and the rest are bird ships and Guangzhou ships.
Considering that the probability of Donglu Navy appearing is almost zero, warships of this level are already considered to have high regard for Donglu.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the fleet arrived in Huiguo, it was told that it needed to set sail immediately to aid Fuguo.
Calculated from the perspective of voyage and time, if Zheng Chenggong and the fleet from Fujian met in Huiguo, they would arrive in Fuguo before Donglu.
It seems that it is only one day late, but it can have a decisive impact when the two armies are fighting.
Zheng Chenggong and his generals Zheng Jun did not feel that they could achieve much results by coming to the North, and they were always a little unhappy.
But when we arrived at the waters of Fuguo, the situation in front of us was completely different from what we had imagined.
The large ships docked on the shore were all Donglu ships, which surprised everyone in Zheng's army.
Seeing the approaching Zheng army fleet, the Donglu ships set sail one after another, intending to fight tooth and nail.
Zheng Chenggong had never fought a decent naval battle, but his subordinates Zheng Ju, Zheng Shao, Zheng Jiaqi and others were not novices.
Zhenhai Gong Zheng Zhilong believed that in a naval battle with Donglu, he did not even need to use his own contemporaries, it would be enough to let the juniors go into battle.
Although Donglu's ships seemed to be numerous, General Zheng still did not take this defeated general seriously.
Zheng Chenggong ordered Zheng Jiaqi to lead the fleet in the center, while Zheng Ju and Zheng Shao were responsible for leading the squadrons to outflank the two wings, trying to catch the Donglu fleet in front of them.
The Qing fleet had just raised its sails and before it officially entered the deep sea, it was besieged by the Ming fleet. It was like being pushed to the shore and packed away.
The Qing army sailing to Fuguo were all troop transports, and the warships were towed near the Blackwater outlet. They haven't come over yet, so I don't know what the battle situation is like.
Zheng Chenggong did not personally go into battle, but it was important to eliminate the Donglu fleet that sneaked into Fuguo.
But the more important thing is to get the 10,000 land divisions on board to land as soon as possible, and there must be no mistake in the sea.
It is a sure thing that the troop transport cannot defeat the battleship. You can guess it just from the degree of fire from both sides.
Zheng's fleet is known as the dragon on the sea, and it's not for nothing. From Liu Xiang to the Spaniards, no one was spared!
The Qing army's ship was not a battleship, and the sailors were newly trained, but the gunners were more skilled.
But the Folang machine can't beat the Fajie, let alone the opponent of the "Harpoon" anti-ship missile!
In less than an hour, eight troop transports were sunk and twenty-seven were severely damaged. None of them could break through the encirclement.
