There is an old saying in China since ancient times, called "One inch is long, one inch is strong!" ”

It is even more important for this concept to be carried out in the military.

Just like when Boss Sa attacked Kuwait, even though Kuwait's total oil reserves accounted for one-tenth of the world's wealth and the wealth was amazing, it was a small land, and it was bulldozed by the Iraqi army in a few hours.

Another example is Pearl Harbor.

The invincible Pacific Fleet of the Mi Army was almost completely annihilated by the Japanese army, and if it was replaced by a European country, even if it was an empire on which the sun never set, it would be over, and it would be directly beaten down, and it was impossible to stand up again under the staggered pressure.

However, the strong depth and majestic system of the rice people quickly taught the little devil to be a man with facts!

You destroy one of my Pacific Fleets, and I will spend a little more time and build another one in a year, and this one is bigger, stronger, and more advanced!

In the end, this directly led to countless Japanese soldiers hiding in rat holes on Okinawa Island one by one, holding explosives and shouting 'onboard' jade crushing and martyrdom, and then the mainland was also directly lost.

Therefore, at the beginning of Xu Changqing's construction of Haicheng, the planning at the military level has always occupied a dominant position.

At this time, Haicheng covers an area of at least two large Beijing Divisions, although the population base and various facilities are far from the foundation of Beijing Division, and agriculture is not developed, but the strategic depth and the advantages of the fishing industry can definitely crown the whole world.

But things are relative.

There are great benefits, but there are also big disadvantages.

For example, at this time, the sea area in the southeast of Haicheng, just like the red lady said, is all 'dirty land', stretching for seven or eight miles, more than ten miles, and there are precious oil resources underneath, it is impossible to build a house in this kind of place, and it is also one of the defects of Haicheng.

In fact, as early as the year before last, when the Qing army entered the entrance and Dolgon personally led the army to besiege Haicheng, he sent people to sneak attack the line of the Daqing River north of Haicheng.

In the aftermath, Xu Changqing also deliberately increased the defense of these weak areas.

However, at this time, the Qing army is obviously a bit of a 'two-line operation', to be precise, this is a 'three-line operation', so Xu Changqing can't help but be vigilant.

After checking in the southeast, Xu Changqing and the Red Lady went directly north, and then went deep into the Haicheng area to carefully check the loopholes along the coast.

At this time, the most core area of Haicheng was basically built along the coast.

However, even if the model army has a certain maritime advantage, there will definitely be no shortage of batteries in many areas along the sea.

Moreover, in addition to a few large military and civilian docks, there are several sand walls blocking the sea in the urban area, and more recently there are tall 'concrete' walls mixed with stone and cement in the urban area.

On the one hand, this is to prevent people from sneaking up on the sea, on the other hand, it is also to make the people feel at ease, and by the way, there is also some warmth, and the northern seaside is not a joke in winter.

After all, this is not the afterlife, there is no such developed early warning and strike system, living in a city without city wall defense, not to mention that the people are not at ease, even Xu Changqing will not be down-to-earth.

By the time the rounds were over, the sky was bright.

The red lady had already dissipated at this time, and there was still a lot of sweat on her forehead after running this way early in the morning, her pretty face was flushed, but her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Changqing solemnly and said: "Changqing, if the Tartar wants to come from the sea, it is basically impossible." On this side of the city, there are only five lighthouses of various kinds, and there are nearly forty forts, and the sea is in the thawing period, and our good hands dare not rush it, with the water nature of the Tartars, they dare not go this way. ”

Xu Changqing nodded.

At this time, the frontal defense system along the coast of Haicheng, let alone the Qing army at this time, even if it was the Pacific Fleet of the Mi Army in later generations, the firepower group had to bombard at least ten minutes before these defense systems could be bulldozed.

Especially in the sea at this time, when the ice and water are mixed and the most unpredictable, if the Qing army really comes by sea, the model army may not have to make a move, and this majestic sea will teach them to be people.

This time, in addition to the frontal battlefield in the south, the Qing army could only choose to be along the Daqing River in the north and the 'dirty land' in the southeast.

And even if the Daqing River is not wide, it is defended by city walls, even if Xu Changqing changes to the position of the Qing army, the best choice is the 'dirty land' in the southeast.

had a simple breakfast with the red lady, let her and her sons go to rest first, and Xu Changqing returned to the southeast and thought about it carefully.

……

In the middle of the hour, the sky was bright.

Dolgon packed up his rope early, and cooperated with Duoduo, Zilharang and other Manchu and Mongolian royal families and the big masters of the Han army banner, and came to the high earthen fort to watch the battle and plan.

At this time, on the frontal battlefield, the Qing army's fortifications had advanced to a position of two and a half miles from Haicheng, and countless Han slaves were building new earthen forts like ants, all of them were very cautious.

This position has reached the range of the model army's red-coated cannons, even if it is not very accurate, but it should not be underestimated.

The people of Dorgon are also using this to test the bottom line of the model army.

However, the three earthen forts were about to lay their foundations, but the model army did not fire and was very cautious.

This also made many Qing army masters relax.

When these three earthen batteries are piled up a few steps higher, it is useless for the model army's red-coated cannons to fire, and when their artillery mounts are up, even if they are not at the level of red-coated cannons, they have already begun to have a suppressive effect on the model army.

"Brother, the situation is going well. The model army, this group of Nikans, I'm afraid there is not much storage of shells! ”

Dordor triumphantly came to a conclusion.

"Regent, what Prince Yu said is good. The model army looks fierce, but they shouldn't have much reserves. Our Qing Dynasty is in the right place at this time, and great things will be accomplished. ”

"It's extreme, regent, it's definitely Xu Changqing who is uncomfortable now, we have been besieging the city for almost a month, and the surrounding area has been cleared, Xu Changqing is the rabbit's tail, and it can't grow."

"Haha, when Haicheng is broken, I have to talk to Xu Changqing well, and solve the hatred in my heart for the past few years......"

The momentum of the crowd also rose, and they were gearing up one by one.

Dolgon's mood became clearer.

He also figured out a truth at this time, playing with Xu Changqing, it is not okay to die, that is the most inferior choice, if you want to play, you must use your brain, and you have to use your brain!

However, before they could get excited, the earthen fort was piled up to a height of less than eight meters.

"Boom!"

"Boom ......"

At the head of Haicheng City, dozens of red-coated cannons of the model army suddenly opened fire.

The blazing cannonballs like hellish meteors kept whistling past, which frightened a group of Han minions to cry for their fathers and mothers.

Even the Manchu royal families around Dolgon were a little restless.

But soon they burst into laughter.

The red-coated cannons of the Model Army were indeed farther than their Qing Dynasty, but the range was just over two miles.

This wave of offensive of the model army looks quite scary, but the force is extremely low, dozens of shells, really flew over, and only two or three of them hit the Han slaves, and most of the others couldn't get here.

Seeing that the red-clothed cannon had no effect, from Dolgon's point of view, they could clearly see that at the head of Haicheng City, many model soldiers were jumping to their feet and scolding their mothers.

Only then did Dorgon truly relax, a grim smile on the corner of his mouth.

At the beginning of this morning, he received a report from Tan Bai, and the process on Tan Bai's side was extremely smooth! At most, we can be busy tonight, and we can go on the offensive tomorrow night.

Especially at this time, he could clearly see the internal structure of a large part of the sea city, and Dolgon thought for a while, and began to accurately arrange the detailed siege tasks of each department in the future.

This time, as long as the city is broken, Xu Changqing must be beaten to death with a stick, and he must not be allowed to have a chance to breathe!

……

Time flies.

By the evening, the three earthen forts of the Qing army in two and a half miles had been raised, and dozens of artillery pieces of various types had been transported to the earthen forts, and the structure was complete.

This time, even if they can't push the earthen fort further, they are not afraid of the hot air balloon power of the model army.

And even if the model army is in a hurry, there is nothing to be done, and the two sides are watching today when firearms roar, but more of them are just scolding and fighting.

By the next morning, the Qing army's fortifications were suddenly accelerated and quickly pushed to Haicheng.

The main thing is that the earthen walls they built before, which the model army cleaned up were not too clean, and now they are pushing them back again, and it doesn't take much effort.

Before noon, it had advanced to within a mile of Haicheng.

At this time, the model army finally couldn't sit still, and all kinds of firepower were opened, making it clear that they didn't want the Qing army to come, but it also made Dolgon and others more at ease.

By night, the Qing army's fortifications had been pushed to Haicheng more than 200 steps, and they could be boarded at any time, but Dolgon did not rush and no longer challenged the bottom line of the model army, but built many 'pillboxes' to defend these achievements.

At the end of the day, the mud monkey-like Tan Bai hurried to Dolgon's tent.

This guy's eyes were full of bloodshots, and the whole person looked like he was taking drugs, obviously not sleeping much, but his spirit was excellent.

He held back the excitement in his heart and said: "Regent, fortunately, Zhou Zheng has already been dealt with." I have prepared 4,000 elites in the southeast, and as soon as the time comes, I can go straight into the heart of Haicheng with a single sword! ”

Dolgon looked at Tan Bai, who was full of fighting spirit, and was also extremely excited, patted Tan Bai on the shoulder and said, "Tan Bai, you dog slave has worked hard!" In this battle, as long as you can take Haicheng, this king will not hesitate to reward you! However, at this time, we have to discuss it carefully. ”

"Huh?"

Tan Bai was stunned for a moment, a little unable to understand what Dolgon meant, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Regent, you mean ......"

Dolgon suddenly sneered: "It's too early to do it." And there is frost tonight, if you rush too forward, I'm afraid our follow-up won't be able to keep up! ”

Saying that, Dolgon smiled and said: "Let's do it in the middle of the day, I will let Suppilon help you, you two, once you succeed, quickly enter the two inner cities in the southeast, and I will also exert force at the same time, and take this sea city directly, how about it?" ”

“……”

Tan Bai looked at Dolgon with some shock, he didn't expect Dolgon to be so rash and so ruthless!

But in the blink of an eye, a scorching flame began to burn in his eyes.

Dolgon's strategy may not be much stronger than him's regent, but the overall picture is far better than him!

According to Dolgon's arrangement, once the matter is completed, Haicheng will be conquered!

"The Lord Regent is wise!

But the minion still has a proposal, if that's the case, the northern line is in the middle of the day, no, you can do it in the middle of the day, and you have to send some more cannon fodder! Let Tang Tong and Bai Guangen go over together! Regent, as long as our momentum on the northern front is strong enough, it will surely attract the attention of the model army and make them tired! At that time, I will work together with the southeast, and I will definitely be able to hit Haicheng with one blow! ”

"Good!"

"Just what the king wants! Dog minion, go, this king awaits your good news! ”

"Wow!"

Watching Tan Bai leave, Dolgon couldn't help but clench the wine glass heavily, and drank it all fiercely, his handsome face was full of hideousness: "Xu Changqing, your good days are over!" ”
