Chapter 603 Black Tiger's Heart

Zhenjiang, Ming army camp.

The war was unfavorable, and the vanguards who were attacking large numbers were all in a hurry and were frustrated, causing the loss of soldiers and generals, which made the atmosphere in the Ming army camp a little depressed, like a basin of cold water pouring down the head, and the Taiwanese army, who was eager to fight, calmed down.

After all, I realized that Liaodong is not Myanmar or Japan. Jianlu can be more difficult to deal with than the Burmese army, and the Japanese army is much more difficult to deal with.

Yuan Keli was calm and composed. How could he know the pros and cons if he didn't suffer any losses? The military strategy of Yunjiao was defeated. That was the classic of military strategist summed up by how many famous generals suffered a loss and how many people died. The casualties of Taiwan's light cavalry were nearly 2,000, and they were injured.

Very few people died in battle. This is also because of the benefits of military armor, the cotton armor with sufficient materials, and the ability to defend arrows is really good.

After suffering losses, the light cavalry, who was trapped in the slums, retreated from the hilly areas and fought again.

Yuan Keli also received a report from the front line. The group of young masters from various houses and prefectures led a sentry to win a battle. It turned out to be one of the few highlights in the first battle between the Taiwan Town Army in Liaodong. He even killed one of them.

The young general, Shi Tianzhu, is a very big shot in the future. This person is a descendant of the Guarjia family, the left guard of Jianzhou. After the Guarjia family moved to Shenyang from Jianzhou, they took Shi as their surname.

The elder brother of this man was Gushan's Ezhen Shi Tingzhu, the left wing commander of the Han army in Jianlu. This is more obvious.

Yuan Keli laughed out loud when he looked at the front line military newspaper. This Shi Tingzhu was so unfair. This person was so unlucky. Who were the whistlemen that this person bumped into?

The elite soldiers who have chosen thousands of people, and the old soldiers in the army who have lived for the rest of their lives. This one whistle can hit two or three others. How unlucky is this Shi Tingzhu? Didn’t this kick on the iron plate? Even Yuan Keli endures it

I couldn't help laughing out loud, so I'll remember these young men for a great achievement.

The Taiwan Town Army stopped in front of the hills southeast of Liaoyang, and the offensive was set and the army was reorganized.

A few days later, open the original.

Ma Cheng smiled relieved when he saw Mr. Yuan’s letter. Did the forward Qingqi suffer some losses? It would be the right thing to suffer losses.

There is also a big reason why the Liaodong enemy is in eased. The terrain is too complex. The southwest direction is the Liaodong Plain, which is very conducive to large cavalry groups' operations. The southeast direction is an extremely complex hilly area, and it is difficult for the cannons and heavy firearms troops to be used. Yuan

There are also headaches for the Duke. If you want to attack Liaoyang, you can only fight against Jianlu to fight mountain wars and attrition wars with one hillside and one hillside to conquer.

It doesn’t mean that an advanced pure firearm unit can pacify Liaodong.

It is impossible to compare your fingers on the map, and tens of thousands of soldiers can grow wings and fly over. That route was personally passed by Macheng back then, so naturally I understand how difficult it is. Then I open my sixth brother Ma Can's home.

Letter, smile, Wan'er, read it briefly and ordered someone to send it to my father. My father was still very pleased to see the letter. Ma Cheng knew about this with Uz steel, but my father had used this sixth place.

I regard it as a treasure.

With his fingers hitting the table, Macheng unfolded rice paper and wrote several military orders. The weather was getting warmer and the Eastern Expedition could be launched.

Military orders come out, and orders come out like a mountain.

Within three days, Kaiyuan Prefecture entered the general mobilization, and within ten days, 50,000 troops gathered. The cavalry left Kaiyuan Beiguan and entered Yehe City. The people were loud and the war horses were neighing. Kaiyuan Admiral's yamen was running at high speed and entered a state of full-scale war.

The palace showed amazing mobilization ability. Kaiyuan, Tieling and Baicheng also entered a wartime state in full, and some wartime measures including curfews and alcohol bans were implemented.

Half a month later, 100,000 horses collected from the grassland market, Baicheng, Tielingwei and other places, and 50,000 Kaiyuan Town Army gathered in Yehecheng. Horse City finally completed the pack horse transformation of Kaiyuan Town Army and general infantry. It turned into an infantryman riding a horse, and turned the artillery battalion into an artilleryman riding a horse. It was only eighteen pounds, and the twenty-four pound artillery was still very slow to transport. This was nothing to do. Where did Sun Yuanhua's track be built? Then you will hit.

Fushun City is now full of heavy troops, and the garrisons use cavalry, trenches and earthen walls to block the direction of Chenyang.

Naturally, it is impossible to completely cut off the connection between Chenyang and Jianzhou. It is impossible to rely solely on Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, so there is another surprise weapon.

Yizhou Town, on the Yalu River.

The weather gradually became hotter, and Mao Wenyi recruited Koreans on the spot to broaden the river. He said that recruitment was actually corvee service. Mao Wenyi and Mao Wenlong Brotherhood were reasonable with the Koreans, so naturally they would not. Today's Queen of Zhenming, Korea is with our Ming Dynasty. The family is not distinguished from each other. Hundreds of thousands of Koreans were conscripted for labor service. Under the guidance of the Korean government, they waved pickaxes and shovels along the Yalu River, and tried their best to make them pass through the warships.

Ma Cheng was thinking about the 1,500-ton maritime monarch-class battleship, and it was unlikely that it would pass through the Yalu River. Can warships less than 1,000 tons always pass? How can you know if you don’t try it? Besides, Ma Cheng still resigns to Taiwan. The navy prepared a large killer weapon and a river gunboat with cannons in small boats.

Zhenjiang and Yalu River estuary.

Several small boats slowly sailed into the thawing Yalu River from the sea, and tested the cannons. Mao Wenlong was stunned. Is this possible? A small boat less than a hundred tons carrying a twenty-four-pound heavy artillery? No matter how you look at it, it looks like an inappropriate monster. Is this really possible? Yuan Keli, who came to watch the gun, also had a strange expression. No matter how you look at these small boats, they all look like a short mule carrying an elephant, which is so awkward.

Zhang Yongchan, the head of the Navy Department, was full of confidence. He tried this ship in Taiwan and could do it.

Several small boats flew into the inland river, dragged the boatman up the river, and stopped until they were deserted, and exposed the canvas to the bow of the ship with a twenty-four-pound ship-based cannon.

Yuan Keli coughed gently: "Flag!"

The flag of test guns was fired on the shore, and the gunners on the boat were busy, placing the hull across the river, aiming the bow of the boat at the anchor on the shore, loading the load. The red flag was waving, and a loud bang of the earth shook the mountains, and a ball of gunpowder rose. Get up, a huge smoke column rose from a hillside ten miles away. The boat was pushed back violently, like a fallen leaf swept by the wind, and was grabbed by the iron anchor again. Yuan Keli dug his ears and watched the boat on the river surface. After a while, I was speechless. The gun was not very stable and seemed to be about to be overturned.

Zhang Yongchan lost face and said embarrassedly: "There is a lot of silt in the river, so you can use wooden stakes to fix it."

Mao Wenlong was frightened to see it and murmured to himself: "Isn't this? Isn't this a powerful weapon for military and nationality?"
