Chapter 699: Spring Offensive

The harsh winter in the high latitudes of the Northeast is really very cruel, even if the Dinghai Navy has made careful deployment, not only all kinds of houses, have adopted hollow bricks with good thermal insulation performance, but also use insulation measures such as double glazing, under such a premise, but there should still be damage.

Frostbite is not an easy treatment for any time, even if a lot of oil is used, and some medicines, people who are accustomed to the warm climate of the south still have frostbite and even death.

For these, there is no very good way to set the navy, all that can be done is to wait, in waiting, looking forward to the final result, this point, whether it is the arrival of Zhao Xin, the morale inspired, or the efforts of the military and civilians themselves to come to the north, the combination of the two has become the morale of Vladivostok at present, in the huge city, secretly hidden.

However, when the harsh winter is over and the spring returns to the earth, there is a thriving scene in the whole north.

Severe winters can restrict human activities, but for the nomadic people who are here all year round, it is not a problem, large-scale mobilization is impossible, and small-scale is still possible.

Before the beginning of winter, the liquidation of the navy and the liquidation of a large number of tribes, although in the end, not all of them were wiped out, and the hands were very moderate, most of them were plundered and used as slaves, but this, these Jurchens entrenched in the northeast, did not know.

In their opinion, the tribes that were lost were probably wiped out, and after the Liao State, there was suddenly such a force, which made the Jurchens hover and vigilant all the time, and finally fell.

In the past, after the Liao State cleared the Jurchens, it was gone, and the Liao State retreated, but the Jurchen forces were not enough to challenge the Liao State, so they chose to recuperate, and between the two sides, there was a huge control field, which ensured that the two sides did not have a fierce conflict.

I thought that the power was enough to explore the foundation of the Liao Kingdom, but I didn't expect that the backyard caught fire.

If, at the beginning, they didn't know this scale, but they found that a large number of tribes had disappeared, and there were some survivors, they could not have known that there was a powerful force that had entered their area.

In the wild, in winter, this is the world of the Jurchen hunters, even if they are strong in the Dinghai Navy, at this time, they do not dare to leave easily, but the Jurchens can, they quietly investigated, but came to a terrible conclusion.

More than a dozen huge cities, even small satellite cities, these are very large in the eyes of the Jurchens who have never seen the world, let alone Vladivostok.

Where is the city in Vladivostok, they know, but it has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and it is close to the sea, which is not suitable for them to live in, and it has not formed a large tribal station, but this place has become a bridgehead for this mysterious force, looking at the huge city and the towering city walls, they are even a little afraid.

What kind of force is this and why is it here?

But the results that had been produced, especially those around the tribes that had been destroyed, were like a knife hanging over their heads.

They had to act, they hadn't fought against this force, but it wasn't something that a tribe could defeat.

Thinking of danger in times of peace, the Jurchens were able to replace the Liao State later, establish the Jin State, and destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, naturally they have their unique place, they have a small number of people in one tribe, and it is not enough to provoke a huge city, but multiple tribes are concentrated together, and it is fine.

In the era of cold weapons, being in a high latitude area, the harsh natural conditions may make their survival quite miserable, but it gave them a strong physique, as well as excellent personal means, these things, in the battle with the Liao State, have been fully demonstrated, at this time, even more so, they believe that under the premise of the same number, they will definitely be able to defeat the opponent.

In this way, in the long four-month winter, these tribes of the Jurchens, under the contact with each other, actually contacted many tribes, and finally cobbled together a force of about 70,000 people.

All the cavalry, and ensure that every cavalry, has an iron weapon, which in the eyes of the Jurchens, is strong enough, if the Liao State goes deep into this position, under the premise of the same number, this army that encounters them can also be defeated.

In this era, the Jurchen nation has been produced, and the total number of tribes is relatively large, belonging to the hegemony on the side of Baishan and Heishui, and even the Liao State, as the suzerainty of the Jurchens, did not easily provoke them, at most suppressed.

But they didn't expect that what they were facing was an army that far exceeded that of the Liao State, and the most important thing was that the strongest on the other side was not the musketeers and artillery, but the fortress after having these.

In the era of thermal weapons, the fortress gradually declined, not because the fortress was not good, but because of the explosives and heavy artillery, which were quite large for the killing and damage of the fortress, once encountered, if it was breached, the role of the fortress would be reduced.

However, if one side has a thermal weapon, or a fortress like this, and the attacking side does not have a thermal weapon, this is a nightmare, a fortress that cannot be conquered by itself, and with the addition of thermal weapons to attack more sharply and have a longer range, he will become a nightmare for nomads.

When the ice and snow have not yet fully bloomed, when the land is still in the mud, the news of the arrival of a large number of cavalry makes the whole Vladivostok rumor.

No one thought that even the most radical generals, they had thought that there would be some twists and turns in the situation of the beginning of spring, but no one thought that the nomads would send food like this.

Let's not talk about whether the cavalry can conquer the fortress, even if it can be overcome, the cavalry that has lost the initiative and is concentrated together is the best target.

Since the Dinghai Navy sent troops to the north, it has never taken the nomads into account, they are not afraid of frontal combat, what they are afraid of is that they run and fight guerrilla warfare, and the most lacking thing in the Dinghai Navy at present is personnel, if it takes three or five years to fight steadily and steadily, more securely, and they are not afraid of their guerrilla warfare, but in the hearts of the generals headed by them, the power is so much higher, and there are all kinds of advanced weapons, and they have to take their time, it is impossible to say.

Seventy or eighty thousand troops, maybe not all of the Jurchens, but after annihilating these, what strength do the Jurchens have, and the rest may still be, it is already insignificant.

This is the imbalance in the understanding, the Dingjun Navy has done the investigation in the most detailed, the front, for the Jurchen tribe, combat effectiveness, there is a comprehensive understanding, these Jurchens do not know, they still judge according to their own ideas, it seems that the battle with the Liao State has made them arrogant, thinking that individual strength is the first in the world.

Compared with individual forces, Dinghai is far inferior to these strong men of the Jurchens, even if it is compared with the elite of the Liao State, but the result of the war is not based on the strength of the individual, after the musket and thermal weapons are equipped, the strength of the individual, in fact, has been weakened a lot, and it is no longer the key to affecting the battle situation.

If the Jurchens could use the method of sneak attack and suddenly come like this, maybe the effect would be much better, but the Jurchens didn't have such thoughts at all.

Relying on the height of the fortress, as well as binoculars, by the way, there are sentry posts everywhere, perhaps in the cold winter wax moon, no warrior can move too much in the field, let alone hide in the snow nest, but once the ice and snow melt, under the good cold and water protection materials, there are still hidden sentry posts.

The Jurchens had already been discovered more than 70 kilometers away, and even their route was understood.

The target happens to be a satellite city on their side, although this is a satellite city, there are still two bastions, the only difference is that the city walls are incomplete.

This may be the reason why the Jurchens chose this place, but even so, their choice was still wrong.

This city wall is deliberately left, after having the fortress, the role of the city wall has been reduced a lot, at most it is to avoid the wind and snow, this outermost satellite city, is the latest to build, when it is about to be built, the cold current arrives, there is no time to continue to build, simply let it go, I didn't expect it, it was caught by the Jurchens.

In itself, the combat effectiveness of the Dinghai Navy is far above the Jurchen cavalry, even if it is a field battle on the frontal battlefield, it will not have too much impact, but for the sake of safety, the Dinghai Navy will choose to put it in to fight, and its own strength is inferior, and it has been calculated, and the result is conceivable.

When the Jurchen cavalry roared, smeared with oil paint from somewhere, and attacked the satellite city, they were directly placed within 300 meters, and then under the attack of countless artillery and platoon guns, in just a quarter of an hour, the Jurchens lost 20,000.

How could the Jurchens ever see such a means of attack, and they didn't even take a look at their faces, and such huge losses, whether it was cavalry or personnel, were quite large.

There was no organizational performance, that is, relying on morale and bravery, the Jurchens who came to rush to kill were suddenly beaten and fled.

How could the Dinghai Navy let them go, it was so easy, they found the main force of the Jurchens, although not all of them, but there would not be many, these people, no one would run for them.

On the way to the Jurchens, there were a total of 3 lines of defense, as well as a specially cultivated, elite Dinghai Navy, which was directly intercepted, and in the end, less than 1,000 people escaped, and the seventy or eighty thousand Jurchen cavalry that were easily put together were wiped out.

Annihilated seventy or eighty thousand cavalry, to the Jurchen combat troops, to a devastating blow, in this era, there are still a lot of Jurchens, may be distributed in the vast northeast, there may be one or two million, otherwise, it is impossible to establish the Jin State.

However, those concentrated in the area of Baishan and Heishui, that is, about seven or eight hundred thousand, and in the middle, 80,000 elites were concentrated, and they were annihilated all of a sudden, which was an unbearable blow for the Jurchens.

If time continues, give them time to recuperate, these Jurchens will still recover, but unfortunately they don't have this opportunity.

Through interrogation, plus what was collected by the Ding Navy and obtained from the Imperial City Division, these are added together, and all the Jurchen tribes of the entire Baishan and Heishui generation are already well aware, and by the way, interrogate the prisoners again.

The lethality of thermal weapons is very amazing, but under deliberate control, these soldiers, not all killed, after a desperate situation, many Jurchens chose to surrender, among these people, through interrogation, confirmed the previous data, one by one accurate tribes, fell into the hands of the Ding Navy.

After a winter, four or five months of rest, for the army of the Dinghai Navy, they have long been hungry and thirsty, they are eager for war achievements, and this war merit is mainly the occupation and capture, compared to the occupation, white mountains and black waters, there is no decent strategic location, which means that the role of the prisoner is greater than the occupation.

On the premise of landing the Dinghai Navy, even if it has a population of tens of millions, under the premise that the population of the Dinghai Navy itself cannot be reduced on a large scale, if enough prisoners are captured, the sooner the development of the entire Dinghai Navy can be started.

In the case of the Koreans, the Japanese, have already tried, as long as a third or so is killed, these untrained teams will be defeated, and under the cover, as long as you pay attention, you can catch a lot of prisoners.

When it was used against the Jurchens, it only killed twenty or thirty thousand people, and the rest were all prisoners, almost 50,000 prisoners, and this part was an elite warrior, young and strong, but very dangerous, after a simple identification, and then sent out, they would go to the mines of the Ryukyus and mine, otherwise, it would be easy to have chaos.

As for the later, the prisoners who attacked the Jurchen tribe and obtained more prisoners will be more, and among these captives, they will choose the more docile ones who are willing to belong to them, and leave some of them on the side of Vladivostok for local construction.

In the first battle of Kaichun, the Jurchen tribe on the side of Baishan and Heishui was almost disintegrated, although it was not completely annihilated, but it was nearly 700,000 at once, which was also a huge blow to this generation, and it was almost impossible to pose a threat to the Ding Navy.

The original plan may take 2 months, or even half a year, to be able to pay off, a little careless, maybe the entire Baishan and Heishui side, will be troubled for a whole year, now, with the solution here, it seems that the plan can be set a little more radical.

A winter's preparations, materials and early consumption, the preparation is very perfect, with the fall of the Jurchens, in the northeast, there is no way to stop the power of the Dinghai Navy, the Dinghai began to move forward rapidly, in just one month, it broke through 600 kilometers, controlling a huge area, more than 9 times the area of the previous control area.

From the Dinghai Navy to the core of Heilongjiang in later generations, a huge piece of land is under control, and this is less than May, counting until October, there are still five full months.
