Goryeo, Gyeonggi-do, Mongchontoseong.
Mongchontoseong is located in the Songpa area south of Hanyangseong, the capital of Goryeo. It is a defense built to protect the capital of the ancient Baekje Kingdom, Henan Uireyeseong. Tucheng is divided into an inner city and an outer city, with a radius of 2,285 meters and an area of about 12 square kilometers. The outer city has a wooden fence as a fence, while the inner city is a residential area. At its peak, it could accommodate 8,000 people. Ten thousand soldiers and civilians were stationed there.
"Master Temperance Envoy, I have sent capable personnel to Nanhan Mountain City. I believe that Cui Gong's latest instructions will arrive soon. I also hope that you can organize some personnel to harass Houjin's army to ease the passage of the messenger. The difficulty of the captured area..."
Among the ruins of Mengcun Tucheng, groups of Chiyang Infantry are building advance bases! The regular flag troops held loaded flintlock rifles and stood guard at various commanding heights and key positions; the reserve troops and the new attached troops took off their military uniforms, wielded spades and pickaxes, pushed carts, and worked hard to build fortifications and barracks; while Chiyang Elite troops, such as the Iron Man Army led by Wan Hong, the Spear Army led by Ma Guomao, the Shaolin Monk Soldiers led by Wu Yin, and the personal soldiers sentry led by Dong Jimao, were under the unified command of Chief of Staff Yan Si to prepare for war.
Unlike other flag armies, reserve troops, and even new auxiliary armies, these warriors among warriors, warriors among warriors, must be well prepared before the battle. Because once the world-famous Jurchen cavalry arrives, they will be the first to rush to stop them. By then, if they don't have enough physical strength, they won't be able to stop the Jianzhou Savages with their explosive fighting power. Finally, Chiyang's shortcomings, the cavalry troops, under the leadership of Saliwen, Yang Gushan and others, were divided into several teams to scout the situation. They wanted to form a tight defense circle outside Mengcun Tucheng to prevent Those Jurchen scouts with unparalleled cavalry and archery were too close to their own camp and had achieved the purpose of covering the battlefield, so as not to let the enemy know their situation before the battle started. For this reason, Kang Lin even sent out all the treasure chest cavalry. Anyway, when the time came, these guys would disappear. Only Saliwen and the thirty-six cavalry under Yang Gushan were arranged to arrive at Mengcun Tucheng. The area beside the Han River ensures that if one's troops cannot defeat the Eight Banners cavalry, they can withdraw to the ship and continue fighting.
"Okay, I will send twelve Mongolian cavalry to escort the envoy through the Tartar-occupied area later. But, Mr. Nanhu, as the old saying goes, "Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles." We are all here. You are responsible for fighting with Where are our people who hand over intelligence? Co-author, you can't let me fight the Eight Banners Tartars with a black eye, right? "
Standing at the highest point of the ruins of Mengcun Tucheng, Controller Kang Lin and Kang Da were scanning the surroundings with a brass telescope. Next to him were Chang Jiansheng, military counselor and controller, and Cui Mingji's envoy Li Cheng Xuan, and at his feet was the Yuanyang formation team, as well as more than 200 warriors, more than 200 elite warriors who were waiting in full formation! Therefore, when faced with the latter's request to send troops to escort, this guy agreed without hesitation. Not only did he agree, but he also sent Li Chengxuan's most elite Qie Xue to escort him. However, the intelligence personnel and logistics personnel that the other party promised to provide him had not yet arrived, which made him very unhappy. So, when there was nothing else to do, the boss of Kangda asked Nanhu Mr. Li Chengxuan the questions he had in mind.
"Lord Temperance Envoy, as long as you get in touch with Cui Gong, the Lifu problem will be solved soon. As for the intelligence personnel, our volunteers and gentry will be sent soon. Please don't worry too much..."
"What? Intelligence work relies on volunteers and gentry to collect and transmit it. This is too childish, isn't it? Is this how your lord does things? No, we just wait and wait, and we don't know if the Jurchens get involved. , too passive. Han Sheng, please send out some of the light infantry in our hands and set up a reconnaissance post two miles away from Tucheng. Whenever the Tartar brigade approaches, send a flag-flag rocket warning!"
Seeing the obvious look on Li Chengxuan's face, Kang Lin almost dropped the precious monocular in his hand. What the hell is this? There is no dedicated person responsible for the collection and delivery of battlefield intelligence. Everything depends on the righteous people. The gentry does it themselves. Even the declining Ming Dynasty did not dare to do this. They also have royal guards, postmen, and express delivery shops responsible for information. As for the message, when it came to the army, a special team was set up to keep watch at night, responsible for spying on the military situation, and also conducting scouting battles with enemy scouts. Why did Goryeo, which prides itself as "Little China", rely on civilians for all information?
, this is too hasty! Upon thinking of this, Kang Lin immediately ordered his chief of staff Yan Si and Yan Hansheng to send out elite troops and set up reconnaissance posts two miles ahead to prevent the world-famous Jurchen cavalry from giving him a fatal blow unknowingly!
"Yes, my lord. Chang Hao, Jia Liu, you two immediately lead your men, divide the troops into two groups, and go forward to set up a reconnaissance post two miles away from Tucheng. If there is an attack by the Tartars, send out flag-flower rockets." Notify this formation!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Lao Fan, immediately tell the troops to be on guard and ready to fight at any time; Han Sheng, you will personally command the artillery force, and let the reserve troops and the new auxiliary troops spare some manpower to seize the time to build the artillery fortifications. In addition, order The navy dismantled some of the Ye Gong Shen guns, Xuanzi guns and Xiaolang machines loaded on the ship, and installed them in the fortifications to prepare for defense against the enemy's attack..."
Looking at Chang Hao and Jia Liu who hurriedly led their men away, Kang Lin still felt a little unsafe, so he ordered Fan Jing and Yan Si to command the flag army and the artillery army to strengthen their vigilance and build large and small artillery forts. Prevent the Manchu and Qing forces from sneaking up on you while your own foothold is not stable! You must know that these barbarians in the white mountains and black waters are most accustomed to fighting intentionally and unintentionally. Although there has not been a tragic defeat like the Saarhu War in this time and space, the Jurchens still rely on their strong qualities, strict organization, and the wisdom of the leader. , continued to rise, and took a lot of advantage in the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo!
In April of this year, Dabeile Amin, Daishan, Mang Gurtai and the commander-in-chief of more than 50,000 Manchu and Mongolian troops bypassed the Ming army's tight Ningjin defense line, broke through the Great Wall border wall and invaded, and went straight to Baoding, south of the Peking Remaining Division. In December, the Khan King Jilharang personally conquered Goryeo, bypassing the northern city fortress where the Koryo heavy army was stationed, riding south with light cavalry, and captured Hanyang City, the capital of Goryeo, with lightning speed ! These are clear proofs. In view of this, Kang Lin ordered his troops to prepare for war and form a majestic formation, supplemented by firecrackers and artillery, to guard against enemies that may appear at any time!
Half an hour later, the areas southwest and southeast of Mengcun Tucheng.
"Quick, quick, quick, the Lord Guard has ordered us to dig trenches outside the city and lay antlers to stop the horses. Finally, we will add a large number of horse pits to deal with those Jurchen barbarians who drink blood from their hair. Everyone, work harder. , this time we are short on time and have heavy tasks, so we can’t let our brother troops underestimate us Qilu heroes!”
First there were trenches, then there were antlers blocking horses, and finally there were dense horse pits. After receiving the order from their own guard master, Chiyang's reservists and new auxiliary soldiers immediately took off their brand-new mandarin duck jackets, threw off their arms and began to work hard. Soon, with their efforts, they defended one by one The official business slowly took shape, and at the same time, the navy also unloaded a large number of Ye Gong's magic guns from the ship. The Xiaolang aircraft were transported to Tucheng and began to be installed. They wanted to use the mountains to build a three-dimensional firepower network, and even At the suggestion of the Beiyang instructor, Kang Lin also ordered some Korean people collected from the surrounding corners to join in the construction of fortifications. They were to set up several simple earthen forts one mile away from Tucheng, and then cooperated with them. The main body of Tucheng formed a crossfire!
Because in this man's opinion, facing the Manchu and Qing Eight Banners who are extremely experienced in battle formations, there is no chance of winning in a field battle, especially when the opponent's number far exceeds his own. Instead of conducting a field battle, it is tantamount to seeking death. After all, Their reputation of being invincible was not just blown by words. The Ming Dynasty had more than 200,000 troops in the Liaodong region, built dozens of cities, and collected millions of taels of Liao pay every year, but it still treated these Jurchens in the white mountains and black waters barbarically. People have no choice but to break through the border wall and invade from time to time. This shows how powerful these guys are. Especially in the past two years, the wise and wise Jurchen Crown Prince Jierharang has absorbed a large number of Mongolian, Canxia forces, and Ming Dynasty forces. After moving towards the refugees, his power became extremely powerful, and the number of armored men under his tent had even exceeded 150,000 without even knowing it!
Therefore, it is even more impossible to play face-to-face PK with them, but if we do not play field battles with them and represent Conlin, there is nothing we can do against these barbarians. If we cannot defeat them in a field battle, we can still rely on solid fortifications. After dealing with the sharp artillery fire, Lao Maozi's Yaksa city is the eternal pain in the hearts of the Tungus people. Eight hundred gangster-like pioneers, plus hundreds of matchlock guns that have long been outdated, and a dozen front-mounted artillery, can Emperor Kangxi in his heyday had no temper at all. With tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of artillery pieces, he couldn't even fight three times.
In the end, it was the Oros people who ran out of ammunition and food and could not survive the surrender, so they barely saved Kang Xiaomazi's face. Therefore, before the general situation became clear, Kanglin decided to remain unchanged in the face of changes, stay in the solid fortifications, and wait for the enemy to take the initiative to kill him!
"Commander A, the brothers have set up two reconnaissance posts in front. Each post has five elite riflemen and one flying gunner. As long as the enemy dares to come, we will immediately send flag flower rockets to notify the guards. My lords and the others!"
While Mengcun Tucheng was busy building fortifications and gun platforms in preparation for facing off against the world-famous Jurchen cavalry, Chang Hao's squad of soldiers also divided into two groups and began to set up two miles away from Tucheng. As a reconnaissance post, their tasks are very heavy. In addition to monitoring the area they are responsible for, each team must also go to the other party's area to exchange intelligence every two tea breaks to achieve the purpose of information sharing. As soon as Chang Hao finished what he was doing, one of his men hurried over to report to him on the construction status of the reconnaissance post.
