Later, the Jin army gave up attacking Dongjiang Town, and there was no possibility of attacking Lushunkou, because if Jinzhou was not captured and the Wolf's Nest Fort and the Eagle's Nest Dun defense line were broken, Lushunkou could not be attacked at all.

Huang Han really hoped that Jiannu would fight the Jinzhou Defense Line or the Ningyuan Defense Line, and the current "Red Flag Army" was surpassing Jiannu in all aspects, but the mobility was far inferior.

Because the "Red Banner Army" relied too much on logistical support to fight the war, it can be seen that the standard configuration of a wheelbarrow in a single army can be seen, which is not comparable to Jiannu riding two spare horses drawn by horses and bringing some dry food to be able to fight thousands of miles.

Waiting for work with ease, inducing Jiannu, who is good at mobility, to give up his advantage and come to the battlefield preset by the "Red Banner Army" to attack the fortifications, if such a thing happens, Huang Han is afraid that he will wake up with a smile in his dream.

He found that the defense line operated by the "Red Banner Army" could not be easily broken through and did not send men and horses to attack the fortified positions, and he was unifying his thinking and accumulating strength.

After years of fighting, Houjin seems to be getting stronger and stronger, but the red gang knows very well that this is just the appearance.

The Mongols who took refuge were just because they were intimidated by the force of the children of the Eight Banners and did not dare to resist, and the Han army that surrendered was even more unbearable, they were just trying to survive, where can they talk about loyalty?

The Houjin master did not forget to expand the army when strengthening the internal affairs, and he sent Haoge, Zilharang, and Azig to lead seven or eight thousand men and horses to the north to search for the Jurchens.

The so-called Jurchens are actually ethnic minorities living between the white mountains and black waters at this time, as for whether they are Jurchens or not, God knows.

The living conditions of these people are particularly difficult, as they are physically strong because they obtain their main food through fishing and hunting, and it is a natural law that those who eat meat are better than those who eat grass in the same heavyweight.

The Jurchens could not understand the Jurchen language at all, nor could they understand Mongolian, and their language might only be understood by dozens or hundreds of people in their own tribe, and it was possible that they could even guess it.

Jiannu's search for the birth of the Jurchen is to expand the population and increase the source of soldiers, although these young adults do not understand the language, but everyone is powerful and powerful, they are natural hunters, give them armor and weapons one-on-one heads-up, Jiannu Bayala does not dare to pack a ticket to win.

Hauge, Zilharang, and Azig were all happy to capture the Jurchens, because they would leave the strongest and fiercest young men to join the direct leader of the Niu Lu, and with these simple-minded barbarians joining the army, the overall combat effectiveness would be strengthened.

Is Jiannu stupid? Obviously, it is easiest to capture Han people, but why did you choose to travel thousands of miles to find a raw girl between the white mountains and black waters?

That's because once the birth of a Jurchen is tamed, the loyalty is impeccable, the combat effectiveness is incomparable, the Han people have too many eyes, and they are good at fighting and scattering in a hurry, and the Jiannu must always be on guard that the heart is too tired, if the proportion of the Han army is too high, it is really like sitting on pins and needles.

It can be seen from this that at the end of Chongzhen's fifth year, Jiannu and the "Red Flag Army" are destined to be busy with their own work, they are all robbers, and they are attacking others to expand themselves.

Historically, because the Jiannu needed a large number of people to go to the north to capture ethnic minorities, the population here dropped sharply, and the armed forces with a size of hundreds of people basically did not exist, and finally Tsarist Russia only sent a few hundred people to occupy millions of square kilometers into the territory.

The only way to solve this problem is to destroy the Jiannu and drive the remnants of the fast-legged remnants back to Tunguska, presumably the Jurchens with the tail of money will not tolerate the yellow-haired Russia to grab territory.

The first battalion of the "Red Banner Army" was crossing mountains and mountains, and the wheelbarrow in the dangerous area was really not easy to walk, and the artillery carriage was even more difficult.

A general engineer with two hundred general laborers to open the road in front, at least to ensure that the mountain road can lead the horse on foot, and if the mountain beam does not meet this condition, the "Red Banner Army" will not try to climb over, but choose to detour.

Of course, if only a small section of the mountain cliff cuts off the road, the sappers do not hesitate to use dozens or hundreds of catties of gunpowder to blast a guy, and the sappers of the "Red Banner Army" have done a remarkable job of opening roads and building bridges in the mountains and rivers.

On the dangerous section of the road, the soldiers dismantled the wheelbarrow according to the plan, unloaded the gun car, and carried the weight on their shoulders and carried over the mountain.

The commanders of the general banner were writing notes, because after eleven days of marching, the first battalion had already covered two hundred miles of mountain roads that had never been traveled by a large army before, and these roads were to be recorded and drawn into maps and even made into sand tables.

The "Red Banner Army" knew that in the future, Yanshan would become the home mountain of the "Red Banner Army" system, and that this vast area would be managed as an inherent territory, and no foreign nationality without naturalization would be allowed to touch it.

The mountains and rivers, roads and forests of this territory must be recorded with a map of 1:100,000, and the maps of the Ming Dynasty are all abstract paintings, and if the commander calculates the time when the men and horses are in place according to this kind of fucking map, nine times out of ten they will be killed.

The one-to-100,000 map drawn under the guidance of Huang Han is the same as the map of later generations, and a city with an area of one square kilometer appears on the map as one square centimeter, which is completely different from the map of the Ming Dynasty.

The "Red Banner Army" obtained specific data on road conditions through non-stop marching, and the praise paintings of the base camp were able to accurately judge the specific time when our troops arrived at the designated position after dispatching.

In important areas, the Praise and Painting Department will produce a sand table of 1:10,000, and the same will be on paper, and the decisions made by the base camp of the "Red Banner Army" will not be taken for granted, and it will become possible to rationally use troops and arrange tasks that are in line with reality.

Huang Han also got off the horse and walked over the mountain, he specially came to see the artillery commander to see Sun Yuanhua.

"Senior brother, you are old, you don't need to carry weight, you can keep up with the big team and don't need people to carry the march, which is beyond my imagination."

Seeing that Sun Yuanhua was trying to carry the two Franc machine one-pound cannons, Huang Han opened his mouth to stop.

The two sons have thirty-six pounds, and it is really not easy for fifty-year-old Sun Yuanhua to carry over the mountains and mountains.

This fifty-year-old man is a determined old man, and that is because he eats poorly and does not get meat for many years, but he has to do heavy physical work, which overdraws the vitality of life.

But Sun Yuanhua was very different, because his family was a big landowner, a capitalist, and a scholarly family, so he was able to get enough nutrition since he was a child, and his face looked younger than that of a peasant in his thirties and forties.

Sun Yuanhua, who was in distress, has been avoiding Huang Han, and the two have only met once so far.

That was when Huang Han took his eldest son Sun Heding to visit him, they drank a meal together, and now that Sun Yuanhua even drove his son away, he really had the determination to die on the battlefield.

Of course, Huang Han has to care about Sun Yuanhua, the only one in the army who has reached the level of grandfather.

This is not alarmism, there are more than 1,000 fifteen or sixteen-year-old young soldiers in the first battalion of the Western Expedition, and they can really be Sun Yuanhua's grandchildren.
