Chapter 11 Liaodong Beacon Fire

Phoenix City is one of the Liaodong guards built in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a big castle.

All kinds of castles in the Ming Dynasty have certain rules, Phoenix City is located in the north of Phoenix Mountain, the Korean army, part of it is distributed on Phoenix Mountain, and most of Phoenix City, divided into horns.

The artillery withdrawn from North Korea remained here, as well as in the area around Liansanguan.

So firearms are very plentiful.

Liang Huafeng looked at this formation and secretly gritted his teeth a little.

The extensive use of firearms has brought great changes to both the offensive and defensive sides. The advantage of the defending side was greatly increased, and at this point, not only the Qing army, but also the Xia army.

Even the Korean soldiers were a little unbearable, but with the help of the officers sent by the Qing army, Liang Huafeng couldn't attack it for a while by virtue of the terrain defense.

Phoenix is a small city in the middle of a thousand mountains.

There are mostly stones underneath, which is difficult to excavate, and if you don't want to fill it with human life, you can only smash it with firepower.

In addition, Liang Huafeng was worried that the cavalry of the Qing army might appear at any time, so from the Yalu River to the bottom of Phoenix City, a soldier stood for thirty miles. Strict prevention and control.

So it's not going to go fast.

Liang Huafeng was not in a hurry, because the army set off in two directions, and he had more energy to contain the Qing army, and Zheng Chenggong's side also relieved a lot of pressure.

Compared with Liang Huafeng's side, it was not smooth, but Zheng Chenggong's action was much smoother.

The Qing army also seemed to know the difference in his strength at sea. So he didn't want to compete with the Xia Dynasty at sea, so the islands in the sea were all occupied by Zheng Chenggong one by one.

There was not a shred of resistance at all.

Zheng Chenggong has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, hundreds of ships, and such a big momentum can't be concealed at all.

So Zheng Chenggong didn't mean to hide it, some of the men and horses repaired on the island, and the other part conquered the coastal castle.

These castles were all part of the Ming Dynasty guard system, which is similar to that of Phoenix.

Captured the Yellow Bone Island Fort, the surrender fort, and the other forts, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Jinzhou Wei and the Jinzhou Zhongwei two places.

And these two places are where the later Dalian City is located.

Only here did Zheng Chenggong encounter some resistance.

However, the Jinzhou Zhongwei Station is also the location of Lushun, which is too close to the sea, so the heavy artillery is easier to transport, so he spent three days besieging the Jinzhou Zhongwei Station. Under heavy artillery bombardment. The Golden State Central Guard Station surrendered.

Zheng Chenggong officially settled in Jinzhou Zhongwei Institute. This was used as the base camp for the Battle of Liaodong.

He immediately ordered Ma Sanbao to be the vanguard and besieged Jinzhouwei.

Zheng Chenggong disembarked most of his soldiers at the Jinzhou Zhongwei Station and stationed them on the spot to rest.

The reason why it was to besiege Jinzhouwei and capture it in one fell swoop was two

reasons.

The first reason is to give Xia Jun enough time to rest.

Although he came across the sea, the land army that Zheng Chenggong mainly relied on was the Xia army, not his Zheng family's men. Most of the Xia soldiers were southerners, but that doesn't mean that these people are adapted to drifting at sea. So trim.

Secondly, Zheng Chenggong wanted to lure the Qing army to attack.

The place where Jinzhouwei is located can be said to be the narrowest place on the Liaodong Peninsula. There was the sea on both sides, and the Qing cavalry was not enough to attack in a roundabout way. It can only fight head-on, but the Xia army's infantry is not afraid of the Qing army's frontal attack at all, so it can be said that such a terrain is too suitable for the Xia army's firepower.

Therefore, if this Golden State guard can be defeated, he will not be defeated.

to hang Azig.

This is a conspiracy.

Azig could tell it at a glance.

At this moment, Azig has gone south to Liaoyang, sitting on tens of thousands of troops withdrawn from North Korea, seeing this situation, he scolded in his heart, but he was helpless.

Even if he wanted to give up the Golden State Acropolis, he couldn't do it for no other reason. Jin Zhouwei has been surrounded. With the strength of Jin Zhouwei, it is impossible to break through. Moreover, the people and horses of Jinzhouwei are all Manchurian veterans, although there are many children of the Eight Banners, but most of them are from Liaodong.

For the Qing court, there were not enough people in the Eight Banners, and the people of Liaodong and the Han Army Banner were also regarded by them as descendants.

Almost all the officers sent to various places, except for a small number, are all from the Eight Banners, the Han Army Banner, and the Liaodong People. There is still a considerable amount of overlap between these three circles.

Azig can't help but save.

Because if you don't save it, it's easy to lose people's hearts.

Azig thought for a moment, then thought of Dolgon's backing. Suddenly I had a bottom in my heart.

During this period of time, Dolgon was in Shenyang, not doing nothing, but Shenyang as the nest of the Eastern Captives, even if Fu Shan had outstanding ability, he could not get too much news in Shenyang, Dolgon first contacted the wild Jurchens in the north, and recruited more than 10,000 wild Jurchens with food and weapons.

This kind of wild man in the deep mountains and old forests has always been another source of soldiers in Dongyu.

If you just talk about physical fitness, even the white-armored soldiers may not be able to compare, these savages who survived in the deep mountains and old forests of the northeast. It's just that fighting a war does not only depend on physical fitness, but also on armor and equipment. In this, the Eight Banners are a hundred times better than them, but after being armed with these people, let them charge into battle, it is indeed a proper humanoid monster, and the large army is a strong man who can wear triple armor and move freely, and rush to kill without hindrance.

You must know that those who dare to wear triple armor are all first-class soldiers, needless to say, how defensive the triple armor is, the weight alone is at least dozens of catties. With dozens of pounds of weight, he can still rush and kill freely, and he can fight for most of the hour at least in one breath.

Although there are such people in the Xia army, there are not many.

But most of the white-armored soldiers in the Eight Banners can.

From this point, it can be seen why the Xia army can't defeat the Qing army in hand-to-hand combat.

This kind of disparity in strength is really difficult to match unless you train honestly for several years.

The Qing army has always recruited soldiers from the deep mountains and old forests, but the methods are a little cruel, and they are directly caught from the deep mountains and old forests. This time, however, he changed his tactics and became much more gentle.

I came to send people to change food, weapons.

However, these people, who have not been trained, cannot be used as the main force.

Dolgon did not mobilize soldiers and horses from Beijing, but recruited a group of old men from Liaodong from Shenyang again, recruited a group of men and horses from Mongolia, and of course secretly transferred a group of men and horses from Guannei, and the total number of this group of men and horses was about 50,000.

Such a complex transfer can only be done with Dolgon in charge and the close cooperation of the Empress Dowager of Beijing.

In the same way, Azig believed in Dorgon's strength, and with Dolgon in the back, he would never have any worries in the future, so he was relieved and bold.

Lead the headquarters to the south quickly.

However, within a few days, they arrived at the Acropolis of Golden State.

Before the Qing army arrived, Ma Sanbao had already received the news and withdrew the siege first, of course, the retreat he did was not completely withdrawn from the city of Jinzhou, but to the south of the city of Jinzhou to strengthen the camp. Able to withstand the impact of the Qing army.

The second is to report to the rear and ask Zheng Chenggong for support.

Therefore, when Azig arrives on the front foot, Zheng Chenggong arrives on the back foot.

So at the end of March and the beginning of April, the main forces of the Qing army and the Xia army, with more than 100,000 troops on both sides, were a narrow strip of no more than five kilometers south of Jinzhouwei, with the sea on both sides. On the sea on both sides, there are also Xia Jun sailors haunting.

For a while, the two sides did not mean to fight.

It's just a cross-bowed horse, all preparing, and even breathing has a nervous feeling.

Zheng Chenggong didn't want to attack, because the Xia army's offensive ability was insufficient, and it was quite troublesome to attack and ride on foot. And Azig didn't want to fight, if he wanted to leave, he would naturally be able to go, but he retreated without a fight, but he lost the prestige of the Qing Dynasty too much.

And this is not the character of Azig.

First, Liaodong has a different meaning to the Qing court, and it must not be like North Korea, and secondly, Dolgon is behind, and he also has the confidence, he really wants to have a good wrestle with the Southern Dynasty.

So he didn't want to retreat without a fight.

Even if it doesn't work, if you want to leave with the ability of the Qing army, Xia Jun really can't keep it.

However, even if you want to fight, you won't follow the rhythm of the Xia army. It had to come at his own pace.
