Chapter 195 Increase the number of soldiers in the Golden State

Dorman once again narrowly escaped from the ascension because he led his troops to Guangning to deal with the Mongolian cavalry in advance. However, after learning the news that Dalinghe Fort was being defeated, Dorton and Dorton immediately led his subordinates to flee to Liaoyang.

In the next month or so, the left army of the Dazhong Army, led by Luo Li, swept through dozens of fortresses controlled by slaves on both sides of the Daling River, killed nearly 20,000 Manchurian flag people, and recovered the land lost land of the Ming Dynasty before the large area west of Xiping Fort.

This is also the first time that the Han people's self-built slaves have restored such a large area of their hometown after rejuvenated troops outside the customs. After the news spread to Beijing, Xiao Tianjian was overjoyed and issued a decree on the spot to award Luo Li as the third-class Dingbeihou, and the rest of his meritorious generals under his command also have their own rewards, so as to inspire the soldiers to continue to advance vigorously.

Just as Luo Li launched the battle of Dalinghe Fort in the Daling River, the East Road Army also achieved new results.

First, after Diao was capturing Tieshan and Xuanzhou, he immediately waved his army to the north and began to attack Yizhou City on the east bank of the Yalu River. There were more than 1,500 slave soldiers stationed in Yizhou, and there were more than 800 Han soldiers with Han flags. After the Dazhong army arrived in Yizhou, the Han soldiers with the Han army flag surrendered to the Dazhong army on the spot and surrendered in Yizhou City. The inner rebellion was uncovered and the east gate of Yizhou City was opened. Although the built-in slave army in the city suppressed cruelly and tried to close the east gate of Yizhou City and slaughtered nearly 500 Han soldiers, in the end, it was still not able to take back the east gate before the Dazhong army controlled the east gate, causing the Dazhong army to break into the city and start a street battle with the building slaves in the city.

After a day of fierce fighting, the construction slave army in the city was unsupported. It opened the west gate and began to escape. Although Diao Zheng wanted to completely annihilate this group of slave soldiers, the number of cavalry was very limited because their eastern army was fighting across the sea. In the end, they let these slave soldiers run away four or five hundred people, but at least they still It took the city of Yizhou.

Only two days after capturing Yizhou City, Diao Zheng continued to lead his troops to attack Zhenjiang Fort on the west bank of the Yalu River. After the Jiannu defenders of Zhenjiang Fort collected the hundreds of defeated soldiers who escaped from Yizhou, and the more than 1,000 Jiannu soldiers he controlled in his hand defended Zhenjiang Fort for ten days, but in the end, he was attacked by Diao Zheng. Broken.

During this period, Jiannu's Jiannu in Xuancheng and Jianshanbao sent troops several times to try to rescue Zhenjiangbao, but Diao Zhengdu sent troops to block Jiannu's reinforcements. The two sides fought repeatedly several times in the Zhenjiangbao area. The Jiannu army was unable to enter Zhenjiangbao reinforcements. In the end, Zhenjiangbao was still broken by Diaozheng.

However, Diao Zheng's offensive has also come to an end for the time being after defeating Zhenjiang Fort. The ammunition and materials they carried in the early stage have almost been consumed after breaking through Zhenjiang Fort. It is impossible to continue to expand the results in the absence of cavalry.

However, even so, Diao Zheng's action effectively restrained Jiannu's troops on the Western Front, and also attracted the Jiannu army in Jinzhou to the area of Zhenjiangbao, which made Jiannu's troops in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula begin to be seriously weakened.

At the end of May, the second batch of right-wing troops crossed the sea by boat and appeared in the eastern bay of Jinzhou, which is also the Dalian Bay of later generations. This time, Li Xin personally led more than 10,000 troops. After arriving here with the transportation of more than 200 ships, he quickly controlled Sanshan Island outside the bay, and then Using Sanshan Island as a support point, it began to land on Ganzijing.

Jiannu in the area of Ganzijing did not arrange many guards at all, so the landing troops of the Dazhong Army basically did not encounter any decent resistance, so they quickly landed successfully and set up a large camp in the area of Ganzijing.

After the Jinzhou Jiannu army heard the news, Luo Luo, the owner of the red flag, immediately led 3,000 Jiannu cavalry out of Jinzhou to Ganzijing, trying to drive the Dazhong army back to the sea.

Unfortunately, when Luo Luohun led the troops to Ganzijing, the Dazhong Army had already gained a foothold here. A large number of people, horses and artillery had landed. After Luo Luohun led his troops to assault once, he not only failed to drive the Dazhong Army back to the sea. On the contrary, in the artillery fire of the Dazhong Army that landed earlier, Luo Luohun was injured on the spot. Under the rescue of many personal soldiers, Luo Luohun was robbed back and fled back to Jinzhou with injuries.

After defeating Luo Luohun, the Dazhong army quickly controlled the area of Ganzijing and cut off the passages around Jinzhou and Lushunkou. After hearing the news, the Jiannu army around Lushunkou immediately gave up Lushunkou and broke through in the direction of Jinzhou.

At the beginning of June, the two sides fought in the Nanguan area in the south of Jinzhou, and thousands of Jiannu in Liaonan attacked the headquarters of the Dazhong Army stationed in the Nanguan area.

Li Xin personally sat in Nanguan and commanded the soldiers and horses to block the construction of slaves and horses. After two days of fierce fighting, more than a thousand soldiers and horses broke through the defense line of the Nanguan Dazhong Army and fled back to Jinzhou. However, the remaining 2,000 soldiers did not have such a good life. They were blocked by Li Xin's army. After a good fight, they were killed. Anyway, I can't go back.

This Jiannu was even more panicked. There were more and more large and medium-sized troops in the whole Liaodong Peninsula. Now their military strength is not strong in the first place, and the use of multiple troops is simply a disaster for them.

What's more, they are short of grain nowadays. For them, the summer harvest is related to whether they can survive this winter, but the large and medium army rushed into Liaodong during the summer harvest, so that they can't estimate the harvest at all. A large number of flag soldiers have been recruited, so that the food in the field can only rely on slaves and women at home. The child went to harvest, which made Jiannu really panic.

Seeing that the situation in Liaodong was rotten, Huang Taiji could not care about the strength of the two yellow flags in his hand, so he immediately ordered his general Ao Bai to lead 4,000 elite soldiers with yellow flags and immediately rushed to Jinzhou for reinforcements.

After Li Xin led the army to land in Liaonan, he quickly gained a firm foothold. The straight-line distance from Dengzhou and Weihaiwei here is much shorter than the distance to Pi Island, and the straight-line distance is only more than 300 miles. After the boat set sail from Dengzhou, it will take up to three days to reach Dalian Bay.

It took up to seven days at a time. During the whole of June, the Dazhong army, who stayed in Denglai and Weihaiwei, began to be transported to Liaonan for landfall under the transportation of naval boats. At the same time, a large number of prepared materials also began to be transported to Liaonan with the ship.

So in July, the strength of Jiannu and the Dazhong army in the whole Liaonan began to change greatly. Nearly 40,000 Dazhong troops landed in Liaonan and became a force that Jiannu could no longer shake.

If you compare Jiannu with the Ming army, it goes without saying that it must be Jiannu's organization, discipline and even unified coordination ability, which is definitely much better than the Ming army. This is also the reason why Jiannu has been able to have an advantage in military operations against the Ming army for so many years.

But nowadays, if the Jiannu army is compared with the Dazhong Army, it is a joke. The Dazhong Army is completely a modern and efficient war machine created by Xiao Tianjian. Its organization is more reasonable, more professional, and more importantly, the Dazhong army. He is a professional soldier who is completely out of production. Although the soldiers may not be as tough as Jiannu, their ability and cooperation to cooperate far exceed those of Jiannu.

The division of the arms of the Dazhong Army is more detailed. The soldiers and generals have their own professional functions and the firepower output ability beyond this era, so that the Dazhong Army can be completely invincible in the battle of the Northeast Liaoning Expedition.

Of course, armies like the Dazhong Army also have their disadvantages. Their biggest disadvantage is the dependence on firearms and the dependence on logistics support far more than several times or even more than ten times the Jiannu army, which puts great pressure on the logistics support of the Dazhong Army.

Therefore, this time, the nominally large and medium-sized army sent 100,000 troops to carry out the Northern Expedition, but in essence, in order to ensure the operation and operation of these 100,000 soldiers and horses, Xiao Tianjian actually used the current national strength to use hundreds of thousands of people to do logistical support the front line.

Otherwise, Luo Li would not dare to carry out a seven-day uninterrupted shelling attack on Dalinghe Fort. This is mainly because the large and medium-sized army has strong logistical support to support the frontline combat operations. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the large and medium-sized army to achieve such a great record in Liaodong so quickly.

Although the East Road Army lacked cavalry, Li Xin relied on the strong firepower of the Dazhong Army and fought steadily. First, after receiving more soldiers and horses, he gradually eliminated the area south of Jinzhou, firmly controlled this area in the hands of the Dazhong Army, and then led the army to attack the city of Jinzhou at the end of July. .

Although Jinzhou was supported by 3,000 yellow flags led by Ao Bai at this time, in terms of military strength, it is still far weaker than that of the large and medium-sized army.

There is no need to say that this guy is known as a ten thousand enemies among Jiannu. He has the title of Batulu and is known as the first fierce general of Jiannu. This time, Huang Taiji transferred him to Jinzhou, hoping that he can help Luo Luohun defend Jinzhou, and it is best to drive the Dazhong army that landed in southern Liaoning back into the sea.

However, after Luo Luohun was injured in the Battle of Ganzijing, he tasted the great artillery fire of the Dazhong Army. When he learned that the Dazhong Army was coming to attack Jinzhou, Luo Luohun was mainly defending the city, but could not go out of the city to fight in the wild of the Dazhong Army. Because the artillery fire of the Dazhong Army was too strong, it was difficult for their slave army to break into the Dazhong Army. In the line, there is often a huge price of casualties at the time of the war.

However, Luo Luohun's opinion can't be heard at all. Ao Bai believes that it is precisely because the Qing army is not good at defending and the firepower is not strong, and they should give full play to the advantages of their cavalry. Moreover, the yellow flag soldiers and horses he brought this time are basically cavalry, that is, Aliha Chaoha Battalion. Everyone is equipped with two sets of armor. The military generals wear three layers of armor, one person, two horses and even three horses, each of which is skillful. If you put it in the city to defend the city, it is really a waste.

Therefore, Oboi believes that although the artillery of the Dazhong Army is sharp, their cavalry still has a great advantage. They must not let the Dazhong Army besiege the city. In the end, they can't defend Jinzhou City.
