The weakness of their team is that they only have infantry and artillery, but lack cavalry, the most critical strategic force.
In fact, any team that wants to use foot control against cavalry must have some cavalry to counterattack.
There must be at least 1/5 of the opponent's cavalry.
In this way, after defeating the opponent, you can use cavalry to harvest and expand the results.
Otherwise, they can only defeat the enemy, kill some at most, and then most of the wounded soldiers can escape with the help of horses.
With some training, those who are strong can survive.
Only musket wounds and arrow wounds are different.
The gunshot penetrates the body because it is small and deep, making it difficult to dig out. It can easily lead to inflammation, high fever, and eventually death.
The arrow is easy to pull out, but it is really impossible to dig it out.
Subsequently, Yi Zijia, for the sake of greater safety, once again ordered to maintain a defensive posture in the form of a hollow square formation while conducting alternate retreat marches.
This marching mode requires very strong training and organization.
Fortunately, their training and organization can still reach this level.
Otherwise, if it were the Ming army, it would definitely be defeated.
Then Amin, who was chasing, saw a strange scene from a distance.
The enemy is retreating alternately.
The rearguard square retreats first.
Forward square defense.
Then the two sides exchanged tasks,
The rear guard defended on the spot, with the muzzle of the gun aimed at the cavalry in the distance.
The forwards then retreat.
Alternate like this.
Amin observed carefully that if he charged hard now, he should be able to defeat one or two phalanxes.
But at this time, other teams will quickly follow up, using muskets, giant shields, and cannons to bombard and outflank his densely charging cavalry.
And if the cavalry disperses and harasses, they will be killed by the opponent's skirmishers using strange muskets from a distance.
This surprised him.
I didn't expect the opponent's firearm to be so sharp.
If the opponent uses all kinds of firearms with a long range, can his cavalry still fight?
Amin felt heavy in his heart.
For the sake of safety, their cavalry must stay at least one mile away from the other side.
Only in this way can we ensure that they are not beaten to death, otherwise they will be beaten to death by the other party.
This kind of distance will not have the effect of tiring the enemy, deterring the enemy, or reducing the enemy's morale.
On the contrary, the more the opponent retreats, the more confident he becomes.
The pace is more steady and faster.
They even started singing strange songs.
"I had a little lamb, and I took it on board."
"The damn first mate took a fancy to it, so I picked up a knife and chopped it."
Those red-haired people sang a popular ditty and laughed.
They were laughing at those "Tatar" people. Yes, the red-haired people at this time called all the Eastern barbarians Tatars.
They still treat the people of Eastern Ming Dynasty as civilized people.
Of course, they were also afraid of the Ming Dynasty's reclamation activities, and they repeatedly launched massacres for this purpose.
After hearing this, Wanli wanted to conquer, but he died before he could.
Amin just looked at the other party, and the other party slowly retreated.
Getting closer to the harbor.
The fighter plane was gradually lost.
In the final analysis, Amin did not want to lose his precious people.
Besides, his mission is to defend the rear, not to kill many people.
Among them, Amin's son and several young Beile boys repeatedly asked for a shot.
But they were all severely rejected by Amin.
At this time, Huang Taiji had already approached the battlefield.
In fact, at this time, he also thought about sending a letter immediately to let Amin delay the other party.
However, he was afraid that sending the letter would leak the news and cause his detour attack to fail.
In fact, Huang Taiji overestimated the courage of this maritime invasion team.
He thought that the opponent would successfully defeat Amin with the help of cannons and guns, and then attack Liaoyang and encircle his troops under the fortified city.
The most fundamental reason was that Huang Taiji had a player's perspective. He thought that this kind of maritime army must be very powerful if it could travel thousands of miles away.
He subconsciously brought it back to the time when John's country was fighting the Qing Dynasty, thinking that the opponent's muskets and cannons were very powerful, and that 7,000 people could easily defeat the 10,000 people he left behind.
That's why he didn't rush to send a message to Amin.
He did not expect that the opponent was so cowardly that he would retreat step by step in the face of only 2,000 cavalry.
Retreat all the way to the temporary harbor.
By this time Amin was awake enough, and his 5,000 infantrymen and soldiers had arrived.
He immediately ordered the infantry and soldiers to dig long trenches near the harbor to besiege the opponent's harbor.
Patrol with cavalry.
But the other party has a very fighting spirit.
Skirmishers come out to hunt them every day.
At this time, they will send dozens of cavalry to kill these skirmishers.
Both sides suffered casualties on each other.
In the end, the cavalry stopped killing them.
Their men dug trenches deeper to avoid being hunted by skirmishers.
An earth wall has been built above the harbor.
There is also a long trench in front of them.
There are many artillery pieces placed behind the earthen wall.
Therefore, the entire harbor is very solidly established.
There is also an array of matchlock guns at the back, and there is a wooden shed on the wall covered with earth to prevent water, arrows and fire.
Even if it rains, it can be fired smoothly.
On the contrary, when it rains, bows and arrows cannot be used unless you want to use up precious bow strings.
Amin could see that this was a seaport that could be defended for more than several years.
The other side has sea ships, which cannot stop their support at all.
It's impossible to conquer a place like this.
Unless you fight desperately.
He didn't know that the enemy was still behind them and was building a second castle.
While Amin was observing the harbor, Huang Taiji finally arrived with 6,000 cavalry, including 2,000 white-armored and 4,000 red-armored soldiers.
When Huang Taiji and his troops saw the harbor, they showed a complex expression of extreme disappointment.
When Amin saw Huang Taiji's team, he immediately understood Huang Taiji's intention.
He immediately went to the other side's army and knelt down to apologize.
"Great Khan, I did not hold them back. I lost my fighter plane and let the Great Khan bring his army back to rescue them in vain. Please punish the Great Khan."
The player Huang Taiji was of course very depressed.
But he also understood that this was a real war.
The battlefield is ruthless, and it is impossible to develop in the direction you imagined at any time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just like this time, the enemy originally wanted to take advantage of the absence of his main force to have a black tiger take out the heart, but he failed to take out the heart.
They just burned and killed some villages. It is estimated that the opponent wanted to train their troops, but they did not really train their troops. Instead, they consumed a lot of food and carried out a lot of useless marches.
Of course, this kind of march is also a valuable training experience.
It can be said that the other party has partially achieved the purpose of military training.
He was very annoyed and originally wanted to make a roundabout way to catch the other party.
As a result, more than half of the horses died due to the long journey, and 10% of them fell ill due to excessive fatigue, and hundreds of them died.
You must know that these are some of the most elite warriors who are very tough and can endure hardships.
If it had been an ordinary Eight Banners, half of them would have been destroyed long ago.
After all, this is a journey of thousands of miles.
No one in ancient times had done it.
Even the white-armored soldiers couldn't bear it anymore.
He couldn't help but curse: "Damn these bastards, I will kill them all sooner or later."
But he soon calmed down again.
"Amin Belle, you have also seen it, tell me why your opponent dares to attack us when he is obviously very weak and does not dare to fight head-on?"
"Because they have sea ships, they can't beat them. They can escape directly on sea ships. It's the same as the Dongjiang River. They are on the island. As long as it doesn't freeze, they are not afraid of us." Amin replied immediately.
"Yes, so if we want to defeat them completely, we must also have our own sea ships."
"If we also have sea ships, we can block the harbor now and besiege and defeat them!"
Amin was stunned for a moment.
"So I want to give you a task. You have to find an inland river nearby that can lead to the sea. First, establish an inland river navy and practice it well. Then, occupy the outlet to the sea and use the cannons we captured to build a fort at the outlet.
, then build a port based on forts and defend the port."
"Then we have to build shipyards and train sailors. We, the Eight Banners, will not only dominate on land, but also on the sea."
Amin suddenly felt dizzy. He was originally a hero on horseback.
Now let him supervise the construction of the navy.
How could he know that this was Huang Taiji's well-intentioned intention to give him a big job?
Huang Taiji wanted to change the strategic goals of the Eight Banners.
After all, he knew that the five-hundred-year-old empire must occupy the ocean.
Otherwise, they will be overthrown and killed by others in the end.
But in Amin's opinion, this was Huang Taiji's attempt to suppress him again.
The other party must be trying to separate themselves from the familiar army.
Let yourself master the unfamiliar navy.
After a few years, I couldn't control my original team.
Even his original blue flag will follow him to the sea to fight, and gradually no one will follow him.
At that time, if you lose your influence, it will be easy for the other party to find your son or grandson to replace you as the leader of the blue flag.
Amin hated it deeply when he thought of this.
But there is nothing that can be done.
Because under the leadership of Huang Taiji, the Eight Banners flourished and became stronger and stronger.
The surrender of people's hearts is no longer something he can fight against.
This human heart is very subtle. Many people seem to have grasped it, but in fact they have not.
Just like now, Huang Taiji has made farming by using the excellent crops of the Ming Dynasty a very profitable business.
In this way, 90% of the Eight Banners disciples are willing to support him.
If you want to rebel, the people who put up the blue flag will not take the risk, because there is almost no chance of victory.
He had no choice but to kneel down and say, "I would like to share the worries of the Great Khan."
"Very good. From now on, I, the disciples of the Eight Banners, will conquer the seven seas, and all of you can be crowned kings overseas." Huang Taiji came up and divided the pie.
As soon as he said these words, the resentful thoughts in Amin's heart disappeared a lot.
Amin had a feeling of luck. If he controlled the navy and ran outside, wouldn't he have successfully escaped the threat of Huang Taiji?
In the previous attack on Dongchao, I was not allowed to go. If I went, I could try to stand on my own.
"Thank you Khan for your kindness." Amin knelt down again.
Anyway, I don’t know how long I have been kneeling.
However, just a few years ago, the two were equal to Big Baylor.
The four major Baylors have been co-governing for just over a year.
"Okay, brother, please get up." Huang Taiji smiled, "But in the harbor in front of us, we still have to try to push him away, and we can't let this fish stick in our throat."
Amin nodded: "What the Great Khan said is true, but the opponent is equipped with guns and artillery, making it difficult to attack. In the past, Khan attacked Ningyuan, but he retreated because he was afraid of too many casualties."
"You are right." Huang Taiji thought to himself, no one understands the power of this better than himself.
If we attack forcefully, more than half of our 6,000 men and Amin's 7,000 men will be taken in.
In the end, the opponent still relied on sea ships to retreat.
Amin said nothing.
"But we can use time. Those red-haired people are the most greedy for money, and we looted a lot of money this time. If I take out 1 million taels, do you think those red-haired people will open the door and fight back?
" Huang Taiji said confidently.
"Ah?" Amin never expected that he would have such a hand.
He had to sigh.
He didn't know anything about the red-haired man. If he had known that this was the case, he would have tried it with one hundred thousand taels of silver!
"Don't worry, these Westerners are not our people. They have no faith and only care about money. We will pay three times the amount the pirates who hired them paid!"
Huang Taiji's words can be said to have hit his weak spot.
Will these red-haired people defect in the face of battle?
Yi Zijia actually took this into consideration.
Therefore he has withdrawn the red-haired men from the harbor walls.
Instead, some more reputable mercenary officers were left behind.
There is no honor for low-level mercenaries, and they will be beaten by whoever pays them more.
Anyway, after this fight, go home, get married and live a happy life, who cares about reputation?
But not mercenary officers.
They often pull together a team and have to consider long-term credibility work.
You can't just hit your employer. If someone else gives you money, and you hit your employer in turn, no one will look for you next time.
Everyone is afraid of such gangs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Isn’t it cheap to spend money to fight?
There are 2,000 red-haired musketeers.
He arranged it on the ship.
At the same time, we also understand why it is difficult for mercenaries to become the main force against the barbarians.
Because the irony is that the barbarians have money, but the Ming Dynasty has no money.
If the scale is small, it's okay and you can control the opponent. If the scale is large, it's hard to trust.
If the other party becomes a customer, the problem will be troublesome.
Here comes the problem.
Why didn’t the Eight Banners bribe local soldiers this time?
Because local soldiers have parents and children, the cost of buying them is high.
Of course, I bought it later.
Once the army was fully paid, many Ming troops were reduced to green camps.
The Ming army obviously cannot compare with these navies.
Their weapons and armor alone are very expensive.
Not easy to buy.
…………
One day.
An interpreter found a red-haired man who was out hunting.
"Do you have any silver? I'll give you my scalp." Hongmao shot a wild boar and peeled off the skin, hoping to sell it to the other party.
For the sake of trade, they can learn the most awkward words.
"Can you speak Portuguese-Red Mao dialect?" the interpreter asked.
"What are you talking about? Wait, I'll find someone."
Three red-haired men came over, and one of them finally communicated smoothly.
Finally they learned that the Tatar Khan had given them one million taels to bribe them.
Several red-haired eyes popped out.
One million taels!
This is simply an incredible price!
They couldn't believe it at all!
Inverted.
We must oppose it, and we must oppose it even if conditions are not created.
But there are 2,000 of them, so each person gets 50 taels.
50 taels is not much.
Because the military pay given by the other party is 40 taels per year.
It's not worth it to betray years of good work just for 50 taels at a time.
Unless it is not given to the people below, but only to a few people like myself.
One hundred thousand taels per person is a lot.
Enough to go back and buy a title, a castle and a manor, and become a noble!
