Chapter 407: Gaining Capital
The military order came out, Kaiyuan, and the line of Tieling suddenly became a panic. In seven days, 50,000 troops gathered together, which was also the largest war force for Kaiyuan to mobilize. The Kaiyuan, who had finished the training, set off from the Jing'an Fort Camp, and a large number of businessmen were traded. The regiment armed forces gathered in groups towards Tieling. The strong war mobilization ability greatly boosted Lu Ni and the others' spirits. After the army gathered, Ma Cheng brazenly ordered the Sancha Fort to go forward and line up along the Liaohe River to prepare for war.
The 50,000 troops were 30,000 soldiers, the 20,000 armed soldiers, and a large number of civilian and strong auxiliary soldiers were claimed to be a 100,000 army to fight in the east.
Ma Yi was ready to lead the Shenji Camp to fight the vanguard. Ma Cheng was afraid that he would be eager to fight and sent Ni Yuanlu and others to assist him. He ordered Chen Liang to lead a large army to respond at Sanchabao. From the west bank of the Liaohe River to Kaiyuan, there were marching queues everywhere. The cavalry was also the first large-scale offensive launched by the Kaiyuan Liao army against the Later Jin. The troops were directly aimed at the Fushun defense line vigorously built by the Later Jin, and Ma Yi personally led the Shenji Camp to perform particularly excitedly.
Kai Genshin Impact Machinery Battalion has now developed into an artillery unit with cannons as its main combat power.
All six artillery posts came out in full swing, dragging thirty-six new bronze cannons with cattle and horses. They were placed across the river on the west bank of the Liao River. Ma Yi ordered the firepower to be fully opened, and six artillery posts were on the west bank. The characters are lined up, and thirty-six cannons have a destruction effect, defeating the enemy army facing the east bank of the Liao River for ten miles. The cannons have hit the Han army flag on the east bank from early morning to evening. Unable to gain a foothold. After seeing the sharp power of the cannons of Kai Genshin Machinery Camp, the enemy army on the other side re-arrayed ten miles away to fight, and was almost retreating to Fushun City.
At night, Sancha Fort.
Ma Cheng stood at a high place and looked at Fushun direction. All the generals around him were full of murderous aura, and everyone had a nameless fire that was difficult to vent. In the past two years, the generals of Kaiyuan were frustrated and suddenly started to erupt. The people's jaw-dropping combat power poured out the artillery fire, and even the central army formation collapsed. If there was no Liaohe blocking it, the corpses that could be killed in this battle would be everywhere.
Morale was high, and Ma Cheng couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Native chickens, tiles and dogs."
The generals burst into laughter and scolded him. When they exclaimed, they felt much more comfortable. The enemy army that must be beaten in this battle was heartbroken, so that they could relieve the hatred in their hearts.
After returning to the Central Army camp and removing his armor, Ma Cheng relaxed.
This battle has to be fought. First, to relieve the pressure from the North Korean side Mao Wenlong to prevent the enemy from entering the country, second, to reassure the emperor in the capital, and third, to support the Jiangnan Brave Man Club's prestige, so that everyone in the world knows that Kaiyuan has another branch. The Invincible Iron Army is a fierce Liao army capable of suppressing the enemy. The political significance of this battle is far greater than that of military significance, which reminds Ma Cheng of the famous saying of military science: A warrior is a political stop.
What Ma Cheng has to do is lead the Kaiyuan army to climb high and gain reputation. It is a good time to gain political capital. In fact, it is very clear-headed. In this battle, it is absolutely impossible to shake Fushun. If you fight at Fushun City, you should withdraw your troops. Kaiyuan army Now is a good time to attack Liaodong with strong force and work from outside. A large number of grassroots officers who died need time to replenish. The most terrible thing is the 30,000 muskets equipped in the army, which has reached the limit of their service life.
This is the life gate of the Westernization Movement. Kaiyuan Army did not have a complete military-industrial system and could not bear a strategic decisive battle. After this battle, a large number of firearms were scrapped, and the development of new firearms reached a critical moment. Kaiyuan Army still needed a long time to accumulate Power, defending the city is more than enough to make progress. However, with the power of Kaiyuan to resist the power of the entire Later Jin Dynasty, Macheng can already look at the wind and clouds with a smile and package himself as a god of war.
Two days later, the Kaiyuan army, under the cover of thirty-six cannons, bravely crossed the Liaohe River and defeated Fushun.
There was no rain for a long time, dozens of floating bridges were built on the Liao River. Groups of Kaiyuan cavalry rode their horses across the river, clearing out the enfeoffed cavalry that were monitored from miles away. The scout cavalry on both sides quickly broke out on a large scale.
Melee. The fierce enemy cavalry and the Kaiyuan Jingcai with evil fire fought desperately in the open area east of the Liaohe River west of Fushun. As soon as they started fighting, they fired the real fire. They used crossbow arrows when they were far away, and when they were close, they used long weapons to die.
Fight.
Those who were dismissed regardless of life and death, covered each other and shot in the wilderness, with an astonishing casualty rate.
Both sides are skilled cavalry who have experienced many battles and know that they must not be defeated in such a ranger battle. If one side loses and escapes, the other will be chased. Therefore, both of them have red eyes and caused an extremely high casualty rate.
After fighting for half a day, both sides were unable to fight again. The two armies sent reinforcements to meet their cavalry. By the evening, the two sides were still fighting endlessly, and a small number of single cavalry were still entangled together, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, they shot coldly.
High, coach.
Ma Cheng was wearing military uniform and stared at the battlefield where the corpses were everywhere. There were hundreds of new scholars behind him. The old scholars had already shivered and shivered with their necks and turned into quails. Hundreds of scholars went up to middle-aged in their thirties, and from
The teenager was scared by the fierce fighting of the rangers. When the remnants of the detective cavalry returned to the camp, a juren in his thirties fainted and could not bear it.
The strong smell of blood.
More than half of the more than 300 cavalry were injured and half of the enemy cavalry on the opposite side were not much better. They were all unarmed reconnaissance cavalry and everyone was injured when they fought.
Settling down, resting, and another wave of light riding was released.
The enemy cavalry on the opposite side was angry and sent a cavalry with the leader to fight. Both sides had their eyes red, no matter night fell, they kept pulling and chasing on the battlefield. At night, Macheng was furious and ordered his personal soldiers to fight, and the generals were shocked.
They dissuaded and whispered to stop the troops. The light cavalry of both sides was reluctant to leave the contact. However, when they returned to the camp, they were riding several horses and fell off their horses, and they were almost broken and their necks were broken.
The forwards of both sides flocked out to grab their own light cavalry, which also triggered a round of shooting.
The Kaiyuan soldiers' longbow and the Han army flag's cemetery bow were equal, and the scene ended quickly. The next day, the generals were about to dawn and the infantrymen of both sides finally slowly pressed forward to fight, and set up a formation on the east bank of the Liao River to shoot against each other, and the armor was heavy.
Arrows flew around in the sky, guns roared and projectiles flew over, and soldiers fell from both armies. The Ming army gained the upper hand with its continuous advantages of muskets, and the enemy army used a large number of them.
The tiger squatted in a small cannon, and the roar was mixed with some stone bullets falling from the sky.
Ma Cheng held the Qianli Mile Mile Mile for a moment, and the Han army flag opposite him actually used an iron casting cannon and fired stone bullets in a curved manner. The stone bullets falling from the sky caused some panic to the soldiers on the front line. The stone bullets descended from the sky with huge kinetic energy.
, Any unlucky reason that was hit makes the front line the shield walls become decorations. Ma Cheng's nose was crooked. Is the mortar? It was actually used by Jianlu on the battlefield first. This is not bad.
It makes sense.
This is not a new weapon. The mortars that fire stone bullets are mostly made of cast iron and are very easy to be damaged. There are also a small number of these mortars in Kaiyuan's various arsenals, but they were decisively abandoned by Macheng. There is no strong explosive here.
In the era, this type of mortar cannon has too poor lethality and will only increase the burden on logistics. However, he did not expect that such weapons that he disdained to use were actually moved to the two armies by the Jianlu Han army flag.
