Yang Fan was the first to know about the fall of Pinghu Fort.
Because Duolun City sent scouts to ambush outside Pinghu Fort, closely monitoring the battle.
On a nearby hill, in a cellar, there is a radio station hidden.
Various news from the battlefield are continuously sent to the Yang Mansion Telecommunications Room in Xincheng. As Yang Fan's confidential secretary, Su Tongtong is responsible for the processing, analysis, and dispatch of intelligence here.
After Su Tongtong simply processed the information, she sent it to Yang Fan and also sent a copy to the emergency team such as Song Yingsheng and others.
When the news came, Yang Fan was eating fish head hotpot with his wives.
They were all fish that Xiao Niangpi and the others brought from Temple Street. They harvested more than 20,000 kilograms at that time. Xiao Niangpi picked out 500 fish and brought them back, and the rest were given to the soldiers and civilians in Temple Street.
She didn't bring any greeting gifts. These fish were enough for them to feed them for two winters. They treated them as rewards.
Every time Yang Fan came back with good things, this time it was his wives who brought good things back, and they were very happy. Yang Fan specially opened a box of Lao Xifeng wine, and the five of them drank three bottles of white wine, and the remaining three bottles were given to Aunt Mei and the maids.
Yang Fan didn't dare to let Xiao Niangpi drink freely. She was not just teasing him by being drunk.
Yang Fan took a sip of the delicious fish soup. As soon as he put down the bowl, he saw Donkey Dan coming in with a telegram. Yang Fan took it and saw that Pinghu Fort had fallen.
To be honest, this guy Ma Xi surprised Yang Fan. He actually withstood Jiannu's attack for ten days, which is also a talent. He actually made Huang Taiji suffer. And it was Dorgon who finally defeated Pinghu Fort.
The two white flags broke through the city day and night, making Huang Taiji very embarrassed.
In this battle, Dorgon's reputation rose and he became a figure praised by everyone in the Eight Banners. Huang Taiji became his stepping stone. However, now that the situation is stronger than others, Huang Taiji has to hold his nose no matter how unhappy he is.
Pull him against the two red flags and the blue flag.
When Pinghu Fort fell, Yang Fan was not surprised at all. A small enemy is strong and a big enemy can be captured. This is inevitable. What was unexpected was that Ma Xi actually broke out of the siege with 500 cavalry and ran away from the west gate.
This surprised Yang Fan very much.
The second piece of information was about the capital city. Yang Fan's people had already found out about it. The imperial court decided to gather 150,000 border troops in Chifeng City for a decisive battle with Jiannu.
"Master, what's going on?" Xiao Niangpi sat cross-legged on Yang Fan's left hand side and used a spoon to serve Yang Fan another bowl of pickled fish soup. This fish soup was sour and spicy, and Master liked it the most.
"Pinghu Fort finally fell this noon, but Ma Xi rushed out of the west gate with his soldiers and ran away, and was not caught by Dorgon."
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were astonished. They were 250,000 people, and they actually ran away. What a talent.
"However, those idiots in the court actually want to fight in Chifeng, huh." Yang Fan said unhappily.
"I'm afraid they are not stupid, but they have some interests that they can't give up." Lin Yueru said angrily.
Yang Fan sneered and said: "It's important for people to know themselves. Only Sun Chengzong and his cheap student Yuan Chonghuan in Donglin understand military affairs. The rest are military idiots. What he should do now is to give up the five thousand people from Pinghu Fort.
People, the entire army retreats. We go to various passes in the Yanshan Mountains and resist step by step, consuming the enemy's effective strength at every step."
Xiao Niangpi also said: "Yanshan Mountain is five to six hundred miles wide, and the terrain is also complicated, with many valleys and passes. It is true that we can gradually resist and gradually retreat. We must first wear down the enemy's spirit and drag them down. The fat ones will be dragged thin, and the thin ones will be dragged to death."
.Finally, the decisive battle will be held along the Great Wall. There will definitely be not many slaves and supplies, and they will not be able to withstand a protracted war."
Yang Fan said angrily: "They don't have the strength to fight in the field at all, so they shouldn't be greedy for the benefits of smuggling. Even if smuggling makes huge profits, they still have to see if they have the strength. The cavalry is what fights on the grassland. If they use these ten
Fifty thousand people have merged with the Beijing camp, and the combined army is 300,000. Relying on the Great Wall to hold on, it will definitely not get out of hand. They are going to go out to fight in the field now, and you can guess the outcome with your buttocks."
"Sir, didn't they say they wanted to stick to the Chifeng Castle Group and plan to use the fortified city to consume the slaves?" Lin Yueru said.
"It's useless. Chifeng City is not covered with bricks. How much defensive power can it have? Besides, there are too many enemies. They concentrate their forces, but Your Majesty disperses his own forces. This battle will be lost without fighting." Yang Fan said.
This is the helplessness of the infantry against the cavalry. The cavalry is highly mobile and can always form a local advantage and use more to defeat the smaller. It is useless no matter how many infantry there are, you don't know where they are attacking, so you can only be on guard everywhere. The troops are scattered.
As Sun Tzu said, if you are on guard everywhere, you will be empty everywhere.
The Ming Dynasty fought with the Mongols for two hundred years, and each time the Mongols defeated the few with more, forming a local advantage several times over. This was also the case in the Battle of Sarhu. The Ming Dynasty divided its troops into four groups, and Nurhachi concentrated all his forces and defeated them one by one.
There were four armies, two of which were 60,000, and two of which were 40,000. Nurhaci gathered all the infantry and cavalry, 60,000, to form one.
Use elite soldiers, use them concentratedly, and defeat them one by one.
The Ming Dynasty suffered a loss because it did not have elite large-scale cavalry. It was impossible for them to maneuver like Nurhachi. The four groups were eaten one by one before they could meet. This was the advantage of cavalry over infantry.
Yang Fan lost his appetite and put down the small bowl.
He said with a look of displeasure: "No more waiting. Leave some people behind and wait for the Beishan Jurchen tribes to arrive in Shuangchengzi. Then bring them to come to us later. Let's set off first. After all, it is far away from Liaoshen and there are still roads."
It’s difficult to leave. We’ll set off tomorrow.”
Donkey Dan asked: "Mo Zhuo is still in charge in Jeju Island. Do you need to send him back? After all, ordinary people may not be able to command the Jia Ding Regiment and the Cavalry Instruction Regiment."
Yang Fan touched his chin and thought about it. Now Vladivostok has been frozen. Although the harbor will not freeze, it is impossible to get out. We can only wait until next spring to resume navigation. Mo table cannot come here. Yang Fan can use it
The soldiers consisted of two servant battalions, plus three local infantry regiments in Vladivostok. There were about 13,000 people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No more will be enough. After all, there are still enough militia left to guard the Vladivostok base. The navy's sailors can't fight anymore, so they can simply send two thousand sailors
Bring it too.
"Send a report and let Mo Zhui go back and be in charge of our industrial zone in Zunhua City. Zhang Geda is in charge of the new city defense. Jeju Island also has seven or eight early models of clipper ships, so they are not afraid of sneak attacks by the shogunate and pirates."
"Master, is there going to be a war? I'm going too. I'm responsible for protecting the master's safety." When Xiao Niangpi heard that a fight was about to begin, she immediately hugged one of Yang Fan's arms and acted coquettishly, insisting that he should go along. Lin Yueru also made noises about going. .Chen Xi is going too.
Fortunately, Mei Xiang didn't bother to go. She also knew that she couldn't help and was just a burden. Moreover, she had to take good care of Miss Yang and Mr. Yang at home.
"Okay, I will take the three of you with me this time. There are not enough people this time, and I am too busy. Chen Xi can take this opportunity to inspect the battlefield and see what kind of equipment is needed on the battlefield. There will also be one for future research. On-the-ground experience.”
Chen Xi said happily: "Okay, okay, I can also handle mechanical problems if you follow me."
Yang Fan smiled and said: "This time we brought a steam bulldozer, a steam roller, a steam truck, and three polar expedition vehicles. Except for the bulldozer and the roller, you can't repair those things. But it doesn't matter, you can also experience it. In the future, we will have steam power." direction of development.”
The road is very far, and bulldozers are used to push the snow to open the road. I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the Liaoshen area in a few months. Therefore, Yang Fan made a decisive decision and asked the mechanized troops to set off first and use bulldozers to open the road. Behind them were 40,000 Donghai Jurchens. Follow the march.
"Great, sir, can we live in the polar expedition vehicle?" the little girl asked excitedly.
The master said that this is a RV, which is a house where you can live in the car. The little girl is full of curiosity about all new things. She wants to experience the fun of a RV as early as possible. After visiting, she can't forget it. She wants to experience the traveling life. pleasure.
The polar expedition vehicle has been renovated and has two floors. The upper floor is where Yang Fan and his wives live, and the lower floor is the functional area and living room.
"That's right, we live in the RV. We eat hot pot and sing songs. We also go to fight Xiang who built a slave."
