The emergence of the navy completely disrupted Dorgon's combat plan.
Today's Jurchens don't even know how to handle firearms, and they are blinded when they encounter a more high-end navy.
Jurchen messengers ran on the official road, reporting military information to various strongholds along the way.
The Jurchens who were originally behind with the presence of the old god all became nervous.
But they have no experience at all in how to defend the navy.
The next morning, the navy appeared on the outskirts of Changsheng Island (later Dalian Changxing Island).
It is said that this is the starting point for Xu Fu to lead boys and girls to search for immortality.
However, due to years of war, Changsheng Island is now deserted.
After the Jurchens occupied this place, they only built a beacon tower on the island.
The main defense forces are placed in Yangguan Fort behind Changsheng Island.
After conducting a reconnaissance, the Navy decided to start here.
Because you occupy Changsheng Island, you can overlook Fuzhou Guard.
Zhang Keda sent a squadron to insert from the strait between Changsheng Island and Zhongdao in the south. First, they bombarded Nanxinkou and Beixinkou, and then approached Yangguan Fort.
Then the Marines began to land on Changsheng Island.
The whole process was so smooth that the Jurchens from Fuzhou Guard could do nothing even if they watched the whole process.
Fuzhou Guard General Dieta felt his hands and feet were cold when he saw thousands of new troops landing on Changsheng Island.
"Hurry up and send a message to Mergen to replace Qing. We will not be able to hold the Fuzhou position."
When Dorgon went south to attack Lushun, he also removed 300 troops from the Fuzhou Guard.
This resulted in Fuzhou Guard being very empty.
If the Ming army came, Dieta wouldn't care at all, and even thought it was a military achievement.
But looking at the countless artillery pieces on the ships and islands, Dieta felt that he might be buried with the Fuzhou Guards.
The inner side of Fuzhou Bay is very narrow. The Marine Corps pushed the artillery to the east side of Changsheng Island and could hit Yangguan Fort directly.
Coupled with the navy's naval guns, just one sudden fire attack, Yangguan Fort fell into a sea of fire and was completely destroyed.
Dieta did not dare to stay in Yangguan Fort at all. Seeing the strong fortress disappear from a distance, he hurriedly fled back to Fuzhou Guard. The four doors were closed and blocked.
From his true nature, he wanted to run away.
But he knew even more clearly that the Fuzhou Guard was the retreat for the two white flags.
If he ran away without waiting for Dorgon to return, his whole family would be dead.
"Do you want to land and attack the state guards?"
The initial battle went very smoothly, which made Tang Wenhuan feel uncomfortable.
He found Zhang Keda to discuss follow-up combat tasks.
Zhang Keda shook his head and informed him of the situation.
"Dorgon has already withdrawn his troops. If your marines attack the state guards, you will suffer a loss due to limited naval support."
The Fuzhou Guards were more than ten miles from the seaside, and the navy's warships could not get completely close to the shore, so artillery support was not that easy.
Once Dorgon comes back with the two white flags, the First Marine Brigade alone will never be able to win.
"Then we have nothing to do?"
Zhang Ke laughed.
"Our mission is to threaten the Jurchens' retreat and force them to withdraw their troops. Now that Dorgon has withdrawn his troops, of course we do not need to confront him head-on."
Just when Tang Wenhuan was unwilling to give up, Zhang Keda's hand moved further north.
"Let's go to Gaizhou Guard."
Tang Wenhuan vaguely understood something.
"You're thinking……"
Zhang Keda laughed evilly.
"Since Dorgon has withdrawn his troops, let's help him withdraw further."
For the Navy, the Gaizhou Guard is much easier to fight than the Fuzhou Guard.
Because Gaizhou Guard is right by the sea.
Even if the army is not dispatched, just bombarding with naval guns is enough for the Jurchens.
After the two discussed, the Marines returned to the ship, and the entire fleet set off again, heading north.
Dieta waited fearfully, but did not wait for the new army's attack. When he heard the scout's report that the new army had left, he just felt lucky.
"Where did those southerners go?"
Dorgon came back after a long journey, and Dieta was dumbfounded when he asked about the military situation.
He only dared to hide in the Fuzhou Guard. How could he know where the New Army's fleet had gone?
Rolling his eyes, he quickly had an idea.
"Those southern barbarians are as timid as rats. When they heard that Baile's divine soldiers descended from the sky, they naturally fled. According to the slave's guess, they must have returned to Port Arthur."
Dorgon couldn't help but clenched his fists, really wanting to chop off Dieta's head.
But now is not the time to be angry.
Killing Dieta is easy, but Fuzhou Guards has no defender, which is another troublesome matter.
The New Army's navy really left him with nowhere to use it.
Looking at the boundless sea in the distance, Dorgon always felt that it would be the sea that would threaten Houjin in the future.
But how should Houjin respond?
He thought hard for a long time, but he still couldn't think of a way.
The Navy didn't give him enough opportunity to be sentimental.
Three days later, Gaizhou Guard's messenger for help rushed into the military camp.
"Baylor, the southern barbarian army suddenly appeared in the sea off the coast of Gaizhou one day ago. They had too many cannons and they fought for a whole day. They had already collapsed the walls of Gaizhou Guards. Gang'ata'er was seriously injured. If he didn't rescue Gaizhou, The state guards can’t be saved.”
All the generals of the Later Jin Dynasty changed their colors.
They didn't even need to look at the map to know that the Gaizhou Guards could not afford to make any mistakes.
Because this is the only official way back to Liaoyang from Lushun.
Once occupied by the new army, not only would their supplies be cut off, but they would have to go through the ravines to the east if they wanted to return.
By then the mountains will be high and the roads will be dangerous and the losses will definitely be considerable.
Dorgon had never fought such a frustrating battle.
"Ben Beile personally leads the army back, Songzhen, and the Fuzhou Guard is in your hands."
Although he wanted to rescue the Gaizhou Guards, Dorgon knew that the Fuzhou Guards must also leave enough troops.
Otherwise, if the New Army's navy leaves and returns, the Fuzhou Guards will still be at risk of being lost.
This is the advantage of the navy.
With the long coastline, the navy can use ships to come and go freely and attack wherever it wants.
Although the Jin army moved faster on land, its manpower was sometimes poor and could not be compared with the navy that was fully equipped with energy.
If the delay lasts too long, the Hou Jin Army will be brought down.
The only way is to leave enough soldiers and horses in Fuzhou Guard just in case.
When leading the army to set off, Dorgon was still worried.
He discovered a more serious problem.
Nowadays, the coastline in the Liaodong area occupied by Hou Jin is very long.
In case something happens, the Fuzhou Guard needs to leave enough soldiers and horses.
The same will obviously be true for the future Gaizhou Guard.
Doesn't that mean...
From now on, all important places on the seaside must leave a considerable number of soldiers and horses?
Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy for the New Army's navy to find a weak spot and attack?
But if enough soldiers and horses are deployed in every important place, will there be so many people in Houjin?
