Mystery Makes Me Strong - Chapter 2117
Liaodong.
Somewhere in the bay.
A long string of fleets anchor here.
Because there is no port here, it can only be lighted by small boats.
This resulted in very slow disembarkation of supplies and personnel.
So after some of the heavy soldiers arrived on the shore, they began to use the wood they carried to build simple ship stacks.
Even the simplest trestle is ten times faster than boat transportation back and forth.
As for why they didn’t seize the port, Wen Rensheng wanted to catch everyone by surprise.
Now the port of Liaodong is not occupied by the Jurchens, it is still in the hands of Dongjiang Town.
But at this time, in the second year of Chongzhen, Mao Wenlong had died at the hands of Yuan Chonghuan.
Dongjiang is unstable.
Anyway, looking closely at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are countless mistakes made.
Jurchen also made many, many mistakes.
But one side cannot **** blood, and the other side can **** blood back to blood. Whoever wins and loses is determined strategically.
Wen Rensheng was sitting on the flagship, not wearing an official uniform at this time, but the blue clothes of the big boss.
Now he is involved in the affairs of Liaodong as a big merchant and a tyrant in the sea.
The teacher came out of no name.
So it cannot be known by Dongjiang and the court.
Jurchen has unified Mongolia, and there are many cavalry.
Most of the cavalry infantry fighting in formation wear two layers of armor, and the elite wear three armors. Many people even use expensive silk linings.
If it is damaged, it must be replaced.
It can be seen that Juzhen is getting richer and richer.
Completely regarded the Ming army as the transportation captain.
The opponent’s mobility on land is greater than his own.
But its own advantage is that its maneuverability on the coast far exceeds that of its opponents.
Even if it is defeated, as long as it is close to the coast and bombarded by artillery, it will be able to stand firm.
This is the undefeated factor.
So this battle can be fought.
Wen Rensheng thought about Unbeaten’s method, so he did it.
In many cases, there is no such advantage.
He also ordered a partial division to go ashore from the west of the island country and the east coast of Ji* after going around for half a year.
This is called two-way attack.
It is also convenient to use excess firepower.
Although it will disperse troops.
But this time he didn’t come to fight a decisive battle.
It’s for training.
He appointed the commander of the partial division as the second shopkeeper, named Liu Sigang.
Honest and honest, like Grouchy under Napoleon.
Give him an order, he can complete it very carefully, but you don’t expect him to see the changes in the battlefield situation clearly, and then show creativity and determination.
Therefore, Wen Rensheng’s instructions are very clear, go ashore, build the castle, build it with the method of the Westerners, and after it is completed, start stockpiling food and buy it from the island country.
There is also a shortage of food in the island countries, and the price of rice is very high, but it can still be bought.
The Eastern Dynasty couldn’t buy it at all, and the Jurchen searched it away.
When the shipyard was built, Wen Rensheng brought a total of 9,000 people, 3,000 Western musketeers, 4,000 pikemen, and 2,000 shield soldiers.
Among them, 1,000 musketeers, 1,000 pikemen, and another 30 Western cannons were assigned to the second shopkeeper.
I was injured and there were 2000 musketeers, 3000 spearmen, and 2000 shield soldiers.
Shield soldiers use large shields.
There are hollow shooting holes on it, which are specially used to deal with Jurchen heavy armor.
As for why there is no car array.
The main reason is that Liaodong is not a grassland, there are many water systems and swamps, as well as mountains and forests.
This is also the reason why Jurchen is a fishing and hunting nation.
Therefore, it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions to be a famous general.
The power of using a large shield is not high, but it can be carried on the back in an emergency. The cost of the car camp is high, and there is basically no room for the car camp to play in the Liaodong battle.
It is expensive to build a large cart, unlike a giant shield, which can be made by chopping wood.
Thirty centimeters of thick wood is enough to block heavy arrows fired by the opponent.
Even if it can penetrate, its power will drop sharply if it hits a person.
This is the same as the Jurchens using a large shield car, putting soil, quilts, and water to resist firearm shooting.
Because they have a field advantage and strong cavalry guards, the infantry can move forward slowly without fear of being surrounded by the Ming army and cutting off logistics.
As for the 7,000 Wenrensheng people, everyone has A.
Pikemen are double armored, musketeers are chain mail, and shield soldiers are triple armored.
It’s not easy to just filter out.
However, he has maritime trade, some money, and under heavy rewards, some brave men.
Westerners also occupy a lot of shield hands.
Especially those barbarians.
However, there is another problem, and that is to guard against Jurchens’ artillery.
At this time, the Jurchens had artillery, but it was inconvenient to maneuver when entering the bandits, so they stayed behind.
If he sent troops to attack, he would face the Jurchens’ artillery.
They have always attached great importance to artillery.
It is ironic that the Jurchen, who started out with cold weapons, relied on cannons to attack the dense formation of infantry and defeated the white soldiers.
Without artillery, under the **** battle, facing thousands of white soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers, the tough Eight Banners could not bear the loss.
Relying on the artillery and gunners who surrendered, they defeated Daming who started with firearms.
7,000 men began to disembark.
The first is to set up a camp and cooperate with the shipyard to form a closed port defense.
Anyway, Wen Rensheng doesn’t worry about time.
This invasion, at least a few months.
It took half a month to build a simple camp, mainly by digging deep trenches and filling them with seawater.
After doing this, Wen Rensheng began to order the soldiers to divide into five teams, front, middle, back, left, and right, and sweep forward.
And he didn’t direct it himself, but handed it over to his foster sons.
He is in charge of logistics, military pay, and the Military Law Department, and has traditional checks and balances, so he is not afraid of someone seizing power.
The five adopted sons control the five teams.
He communicated with them through fast horses.
Their route was to go north from the temporary port to clean up the enemy’s Zhuangzi.
After drawing the enemy out, quickly retreat to the temporary port.
Just like in the game, the logistics line close to one’s own side can get on board and leave at any time if it fails.
Engage enemies in real combat.
Soon the first battle began.
After walking 40 miles a day, and after walking for 6 days, they finally met Zhuangzi, a Jurchens.
According to the report from the scouts: there are wooden fences, no trenches, more than a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled Jurchens are stationed, and there are more than 200 coats to cultivate here.
“Ready to fight!” Yi Zijia presided over the vanguard, and immediately made a decision after receiving the news from the vanguard scouts.
He sent more cavalry scouts to look around for the situation.
The horses are transported from the ship, which actually takes up a lot of capacity, and one horse takes up the space of ten people.
The horse was too delicate, and more than half of it died due to bumps along the way.
The cost is too high.
So they only have 200 cavalry to use as scouts.
If you see the enemy from a distance, you will shrink into the infantry formation.
Impossible to fight against the enemy.
The biggest advantage is that they have the telescope of Westerners, so they can see the enemy several miles in advance.
In this case, the enemy would have little chance of catching up.
And they can’t get too far out of the infantry phalanx.
The cavalry quickly went around Zhuangzi to investigate the terrain and the enemy’s situation.
Soon the scouts reported back, and there were no ambushes around.
This made Yi Zijia very happy.
It’s not like they haven’t seen blood before. They have fought pirates at sea before, and they have beaten red-haired men several times.
However, there have not been many large-scale land battles and battles with phalanxes.
“The prestige of my Kuaijun begins with this Zhuangzi!”
He then ordered the soldiers to divide into dozens of teams, and first cut off Zhuangzi’s way out.
Then send bows and arrows to persuade them to surrender.
All in all, just go through the process.
Within Zhuangzi, there are more than a dozen Jurchens who are old, weak, sick and disabled, but they are still very courageous.
“You Nikan, quickly take out your bows and arrows, knives and guns, and defend against the wall!”
“No escape, anyone who dares to escape, the whole family will be beheaded!”
A strong Jurchen man with half an arm missing was waving a knife and commanding the wrappers to resist.
These coats are also trained.
Jurchens are soldiers and peasants, even if they are coated, they still have to receive a small amount of military training at this time, at least they have not practiced, and they have seen it every day.
Here, unlike Daming, practicing martial arts is the master, and studying is the work of fools and slaves.
More than 200 people were coated, and finally 80 people came out. This ratio is already too high to be scary.
Many peasant women were also forced into battle.
They were all trembling.
But he didn’t dare to resist the dozen or so old, weak, sick and disabled Jurchens.
It’s very simple, they can kill their opponents, but once the Jurchens come back, they are finished.
They saw the letter of persuasion, but Zhuangtou, the one-armed Jurchen, was torn to pieces.
If it wasn’t because he couldn’t draw a hard bow with one arm, he would have shot it back.
“I’ll hit me hard soon, these southerners are weak dogs!”
“Just kill a few of them and they’ll scare away!”
It’s just that Yizi A didn’t give them this chance.
Directly dragged six-pound guns by manpower, placed them on both sides of the phalanx, and shot at the opponent’s gate!
These copper cannons were bought from Western cannon factories. The price is high, but the quality is also good.
Wen Rensheng asked that the gunpowder must be loaded with 3 times the amount of gunpowder, and he bought it after three test firings without exploding.
If it exploded, thousands of taels of silver would be gone.
One gun is calibrated, two guns are fired.
Under the fire of well-paid Western gunners and the assistance of clever coolies among the refugees, after three shots, they hit the village gate 200 steps away.
The gate of “Katsa” was directly opened.
A road clogged with large vehicles was exposed behind.
And there are several Jurchens holding bows and arrows behind the cart, all of them are old men.
This is the ecology of Jurchens.
The weak are placed on the periphery, acting as scouts and cannon fodder.
And they also drive away the more vulnerable packers.
“Keep firing the cannons!” Yi Zijia continued to shout.
Then came two more shots.
At this time, the Jurchens with bows and arrows had already run behind the wall next to them.
The shells shattered the cart.
Morale boosted.
But nothing was done.
“Sure enough, it’s better for the artillery to fight in a dense array of infantry, otherwise, the money is too bad. It costs dozens of taels to fire a shell.”
At this time, they were all pure iron balls, and the cost of adding gunpowder to an iron ball was only three or four taels, but after long-distance transportation, the cost increased a lot.

After all, transporting them also takes up merchant ships, and merchant ships can generate profits.
And the sergeant is a complete consumer.
Unless it is looting, it can be upgraded to an importer.
“Stop the cannons, the first team of shield soldiers step forward! The second team of musketeers follow!”
Soon the soldiers with large shields began to move forward in formation.
Musketeers also quickly entered the formation of shield soldiers, accepted protection, and followed simultaneously.
The large shield is quite heavy, and the soldiers holding the shield are also wearing three armors, and their mobility is also quite poor.
The shield is slanted, leaning towards oneself.
The opponent can’t even shoot to the toes.
They moved forward slowly.
The heavy footsteps, the erected shield, and the approaching distance all made the coat on the wall tremble.
Some carried short hunting bows, others crude knives and guns, and still others agricultural implements.
The opponent, on the other hand, had a bright armor and a huge shield, followed by a musketeer.
“Calm down, the Khan will send people to rescue us soon, and crush all these Nikan!” The one-armed Jurchens knew that they would die.
But it doesn’t matter if I die, my child is still a slave in Baylor’s house, so I can’t implicate the child.
He patrolled a section of the wall with a knife.
At this time, the shield soldier was already sixty steps away.
Before that, someone tried to shoot an arrow, and in the end, no surprise, the arrow was blocked by a huge shield.
An old Jurchen threw a light arrow, which is a four-edged armor-piercing arrow that can be thrown a hundred steps away.
The premise is a soldier in the prime of life.
He only shot a little over 80 steps.
The arrow fell and was directly blocked by the shield soldiers.
Shield soldiers are mixed with musketeers.
It’s basically a mix of row and row.
The middle gap is about two meters.
Prevent too crowded, resulting in bad changes.
After all, this is not the age of the flintlock, the more crowded the better. In battle, people stand next to each other.
In this case, if the rain of arrows could still injure some people, but at this moment, the scattered arrows would not have any power at all.
And at sixty paces, the shields tilted and joined in pairs, exposing the shooting holes.
It is somewhat difficult to pass through the shooting hole and shoot at the person on the wall.
But there are 150 people in this team, divided into 5 rows, 30 people in each row.
One time is 30 shots.
Within sixty paces, the shooting hit rate is not high.
But Western musketeers are well-trained.
Combat strength and morale are both acceptable if the military pay is sufficient.
“Prepare.”
“Raise the gun.”
“aim.”
“shooting!”
The Western mercenary officers began to shout slogans according to daily training, and then under the protection of their shields, they began to shoot bullets.
The first round of 30 bullets hit the wall with nothing but dust.
Many coats have long since hid.
Just one or two intrepid, overwhelmed nerds, as is often the case in crowds.
He was almost hit, and screamed in fright, but he didn’t die from the bullet, but died from the Jurchen’s knife.
The noise in the formation shakes morale, cut!
This is the strict military discipline of Jurchen.
It’s not something Ming people can imagine.
The generals of the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to flee before the battle, but they could not be beheaded afterwards, so they were punished with a salary.
This is absolutely unimaginable in Manchu.
If you still dare to take the initiative to escape, even if you collapse passively, you will be beheaded.
Then, the second round of musketeers stepped forward, and the shield players did not rotate.
They entered quickly through the gaps between soldiers.
Keep shooting.
The other side still bowed his head.
Shooting doesn’t work well.
The officers quickly stopped this waste of bullets.
But the soldiers also began to adapt to the atmosphere.
Obviously, they have the upper hand.
At this time, the group of soldiers began to move towards the opened gate.
The distance of 60 steps is getting shorter and shorter.
When they rushed into Zhuangzi, they could shoot those Baoyi and Jurchens from behind.
This is also a fact that the Jurchens can see with their naked eyes.
“Block the village gate. UU reading www.uukanshu.com”
The one-armed Jurchen ordered several coats to carry sacks, which were filled with soil, and were originally used to put out fires.
Now for defense.
But that’s bad luck.
Several coats in the sacks became the first victims of this battle.
They were hit by muskets.
Western mercenaries don’t have much sympathy. If they were soldiers elected from among the refugees, they might have sympathy for these coats.
