Chapter 198: The Siege

Ten thousand people shouted in great momentum, divided into two groups with distinctive clothes. Thousands of Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry were wearing armor inside, and covered with a cotton armor with a back gold inlaid blue flag on the outside, disguised as three Niulu blue flags on the outside.

It would be a waste to have ready-made disguise. The large group of infantry wrapped their heads in red scarves, which was very eye-catching. After Shanhu, boarded the ship in large numbers. The large and small ships almost covered the sea and crossed the sea towards Zhenjiang.

.

The vanguard took advantage of the high tide to land in Zhenjiang. He stopped in Zhenjiang City, where there were no soldiers, and then divided into two routes. Ma Cheng personally led the cavalry to attack the Shuangcheng Guards, while Mao Wenlong led the two hundred cavalry and the five hundred infantry turned east.

Harassing the ground of Yizhou, more infantrymen were broken into pieces, hundreds of people went to all directions, and the ground in Liaodong was infiltrated and fought on a large scale. They killed all the officials of the Later Jin Dynasty before they were all there, organized the rebel army, and turned their hearts to the Liao people of the Ming Dynasty.

It stirred up and swept across Liao.

Late at night, the Twin Cities Guard.

Zhenjiang was attacked, and the guards of the Shuangcheng Guards were like frightened birds. They shrank in the city of the garrison, which was originally the Dingliao Right Guard. Before and after the fifth update, a team of fierce Zhenglan Banners held up torches and roared, and more than a thousand cavalry were under the acropolis.

After stopping, more than ten cavalry came forward and scolded, and they were naturally very authentic Manchu.

The Han army guards trembled and begged: "Master, please forgive me, Master, and Master Beizi will not open the city gate without permission."

Before he finished speaking, more than ten powerful arrows roared and almost shot the guard over. The guard was so scared that he shuddered and ordered the city gate to be opened.

After a moment, more than a thousand blue flag soldiers roared and slashed along the streets.

The Han army defending the city was about to collapse at a touch and went out to the four gates, but was shot back by ambushers waiting outside the gate. Thousands of Han army were unable to reach the sky and had no door to enter the ground, so they had to abandon it.

The surrender of weapons, these Han soldiers were originally soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and even the generals were all the original Ming Dynasty official titles. There was no real slave in the city, which disappointed Qi Jin and the generals. They thought it would be another great victory.

Which punch hit the cotton, only some small fish and shrimps were harvested.

Ma Cheng has always been extremely impatient with these Han troops. He killed all the generals and officers, and his soldiers were dismissed. As for whether to be a righteous soldier or a bandit, he lazily went to care. The infantry who followed the cavalry into the city cheered and experienced it.

The battle formation was left with two thousand infantrymen to contact the Liao people's righteous men in a radius of 500 miles. The cavalry team rushed straight to Liaoyang and Anshan, which was the former location of the Liaodong Dushi of the Ming Dynasty, and was also a strong city guarded by Jiannu.

Macheng deliberately slowed down the marching speed, followed by a large group of Yi soldiers. The Liao people in each village and fort were in a mighty manner, and there were probably no 10,000 or 20,000 people.

Gao Jue immediately, Ma Cheng asked, "Brother thought it was a battle between two cities, how about it."

Qi Jin smiled and said, "The Liao people are after all, looking forward to the Ming Dynasty. If the court starts 100,000 troops and crosses the sea to support each other, they can directly attack Huanglong and make a decision in one battle."

Ma Cheng smiled and said, "Brother, remember, people's hearts are easy to change."

Qi Jin was solemn and received the teachings: "It's the most important thing, the lesson of the lord."

Ma Cheng was helpless. After Qi Jin's famous general, he was now the general of a town. The two were on equal terms. However, this brother insisted on treating each other with the following qualities and refused to listen. This was a good person. Or

Some of the edges and corners have long been smoothed out, but it will be of great use after all these years of rolling eyes.

Seeing that he was respectful, he mentioned a few points. Jiannu was really short of troops and was unable to open up three battlefields at the same time. The war started in Kaiyuan, Jinzhou and Zhenjiang. He could only take a defensive moment on the Kaiyuan front and could not stand, so he concentrated in Jinzhou.

Wanda troops besieged day and night, but the long coastline was unable to defend.

Qi Jin suddenly realized and asked again: "In the past, the Fushun War was also a four-way advancing army, but why did he lose a crushing defeat?"

Ma Cheng said seriously: "Because of Fushun, the realm of the vassal states is insufficient, and the depth of the vassal states cannot be divided. They cannot be exhausted, disturbed, deceived, and annihilated the enemy. Brothers must remember that when fighting, there must be a place of depth."

Qi Jin, the soldiers and generals on both sides of the Zhejiang Army pondered for a long time, and they all thought about something. A door opened in front of the generals.

Qi Jin pondered for a long time before asking again: "What is the depth?"

Ma Cheng explained tirelessly: "The so-called depth is a large army that can move freely. If there is enough depth, it can disturb the enemy, stagnate the enemy, and deal with the enemy. If there is depth, even though the army is defeated, it will still be

You can organize your army calmly in the second-tier positions and calmly scheduling your army without losing thousands of miles."

Qi Jin suddenly said, "The reason is that retreating."

Ma Cheng praised: "What my brother said is very true."

The left and right generals were fascinated by the hearing and praised them one after another: "The Lord of the General Town is the God of God, and it is the blessing of the Emperor Ming."

Ma Cheng smiled and told these generals during the march what are the theory of large-scale combat, assault and counter-assault. These are the advanced tactical ideas of cavalry group operations, which can always make these rigid Ming officers have some insights.

It is extremely important for large cavalry groups to fight, having strategic depth is extremely important. Historical records record that the Eight Banners have entered passes and plundered many times, but they cannot even reach the Yangtze River. This is the natural strategic depth advantage of Daming.

The strategic depth must also be supported by a strong and solid rear. If the Ming Dynasty was in the south and had a strong and solid strategic rear, there would be nothing in Jiannu in the world. Unfortunately, the prosperous land in Jiangnan was not something that the Ming Dynasty could rely on.

In the rear, the Jiangnan flower world has long been rotten.

The commercial tax collected in the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River is less than 10,000 taels of silver a year, which is simply incredible.

On the way, the army suddenly turned west, abandoned Liaoyang and rushed to attack Haizhouwei. There were few soldiers in Haizhou Acropolis, but their geographical location was extremely important, and they were stuck at the throat from the Liaodong Peninsula to western Liaoning. If they occupied Haizhou, they would go north

You can attack Shenyang, Liaoyang, and go west to the west and go straight to the rear of Jiannu's 100,000 siege army. Although he has made tactical deception to the extreme, Jiannu has been afraid of being beaten, and Haizhou City has already been tight.

close.

A large number of Yi soldiers surrounded Haizhou City, and after attacking Macheng for a while, they gave up. There were a large number of real slaves in the city, most of which were inlaid blue flag soldiers, and a small number of inlaid red flag soldiers. However, more than three appeared on the city walls.

Thousands of attacks are absolutely impossible, and the morale of the Yi soldiers was reduced in vain. Although they could not conquer Haizhou, it was still very easy to surround them. Three days and nights later, more than 30,000 Yi soldiers gathered outside Haizhou.

The army besieged the city, and Ma Cheng sneered, if you want to besiege the city and attack the aid, I also want to attack the aid, but I have to see who can't calm down first.

Three thousand cavalry set up ambush and aid in the northeast of Haizhou, and mobilized two thousand nimble Yi soldiers to dig pits and bury traps on the road in the mountains and forests. The radius of fifty miles is a must-pass road, and it is covered with sharp edges everywhere.

The horse trap was stinging, with all kinds of traps of all sizes, and it dug a big pit for the reinforcements of Jiannu.

The Yi soldiers in Liao Town are good at digging traps, and there are many strange traps that are unheard of by Macheng, and even large beast traps are used. Macheng highly appreciates this kind of clip that specializes in catching large beasts and orders people to stay around.

It is manufactured in large quantities and used in large quantities in villages and towns.
