So why did you choose Lushun in southern Liaoning as a breakthrough?

There is no way, there are many restrictions on shipping, and if there is no dock at the place where you go ashore, it is impossible to send a large number of cavalry.

In the face of the cavalry strength of more than 100,000 in the Houjin Army, or horse soldiers, the infantry in China was not powerful enough to fight deep on land.

Eight years after the Later Jin Dynasty was from the Mandate of Heaven, they almost wiped out the Liaodong people along the coast of Nansiwei, and only some strongholds were left with the management of the Eight Banners stationed in some strongholds, which was almost equivalent to the border guards of the Later Jin.

If the Chinese military simply transports infantry, then they are likely to fall into the dilemma of being able to fight and not be able to catch up.

According to the strategy against the enemy formulated by the Huaxia General Staff, it could not catch up with the enemy army, but only occupied the city, which was almost useless in the early battle.

You must know that in the early stage, the main focus was on destroying the enemy's living forces, in order to be able to narrow the gap between your own cavalry and the enemy's army, so as to prepare for the Armageddon in advance.

If you can't destroy the enemy's cavalry strength and narrow the gap between the number of enemy and enemy cavalry, then no matter how many cities you occupy, it will be of little use.

Lushun has an excellent natural deep-water port in the northern region, which can be used as a mooring and repair point for the navy and transport fleet without major repairs.

Therefore, after more than a year of reconnaissance and exploration, it was finally decided to build a logistics operation base in Lushun, a natural port, as a handover point between the sea and land.

Since Lushun was selected because of the convenience of sea transportation, some of the shortcomings of Lushun can only be borne together.

Nurhachi, who was later touted as having the "Ten Great Merits", used massacres, violence, and migration to turn the rich land of Nansiwei into a desert that was uninhabited for thousands of miles.

In Gaizhou, which is further north and closer to the Houjin capital, it was not until the sixth year of Tiancong (the name of the year when Huang Taiji first ascended the throne) that the manpower was restored again.

This move forcibly forbidden the sea is really inhumane to the extreme, but it is this kind of violent means that it is indeed effective in preventing the infiltration and harassment of Mao Wenlong's troops in the Ming Dynasty. It can also be seen that the forbidden sea of Kang Mazi later has excellent genes.

From the southern four guards of the forbidden sea can contain Mao Wenlong's surprise attack, Jinzhou is indeed an extremely important part of the strategy of southern Liaoning.

If it can seize control of Jinzhou City, then Huaxia will be able to summon those refugees from Liaodong to cultivate the fields in the entire Jinzhou Isthmus.

With the Chinese nation's strong talent for farming, it only takes one year to greatly reduce China's domestic logistics dependence.

Moreover, after occupying Jinzhou City, the road to the north is opened, and the further you go to the north, the more open the terrain becomes.

In this way, the Huaxia military will be able to force the Houjin army to divide its troops to defend with the least number of troops, so that it can achieve the goal of containing the Houjin, or consuming the Houjin.

Originally, this plan was formulated as early as the year before last, but unfortunately, at that time, it happened to run into the rebellion of Sukh Saha and An Buyang, which disrupted the entire plan.

Later, after defeating Sukh Saha, he clashed with the Dutch at sea.

Chen Xin clearly knew that the Dutch people had great strength at this time in history, so he did not dare to divide his troops to carry out this plan.

You must know that the operation of this plan is still very likely to allow Houjin to collectively dispatch and attack with all employees.

According to the Houjin army's extremely tattered siege ability, it will definitely dig deep trenches and confront its own side, in that case, Huaxia will have to face a decisive battle, and Chen Xin did not have the strength at that time to face more than 100,000 enemy cavalry.

Therefore, Chen Xin really did not dare to fight on two fronts until he solved the problem of the Dutch people.

Later, the Dutch side was settled by their own Batavia head office, and the two sides signed a trade agreement, temporarily putting aside the armed dispute.

After that, Chen Xin also hesitated, he was not sure what the Jin army might do.

If there are too few troops invested on the Golden State side, then there is no point in just defending a fortress and fortress.

The role of fortresses, fortresses and other buildings is to provide a support for the military, and with this strong support, a sufficient number of troops can be deployed before the fortress can function.

The forces deployed inside the fortress are the core of effective control and guarding the perimeter. If it is just shrunk into a sturdy turtle shell and does not come out, it will not function as a fortress, and it will be completely an ornament.

What's more, most fortresses cannot completely cut off the surrounding roads (the Maginot Line of the French Army in World War II is the best example), and the enemy will always have roads to bypass the city and attack the rear.

If that really comes to that time, the Isthmus of Jinzhou, which was originally relied on, will not be able to become a barrier for oneself.

If there are too many troops stationed in Jinzhou City, it will not be easy to retreat at a dangerous moment, and once besieged by the Houjin army, it will put the Huaxia military on the passive, just like the previous battle of Dalinghe between the Ming and the Houjin.

However, then, luck favored Chen Xin again, and the history books gave Chen Xin a brilliant idea, that is, to intervene in the battle of the Daling River, relying on the heavy artillery that had never appeared and was extremely inconvenient to transport on land, to inflict a heavy blow on the Houjin army.

As long as we can hit Houjin at one time and make them dare not act rashly, then there is a great possibility that this battle plan to contain and infiltrate Houjin from southern Liaoning will be successful.

This is a series of efforts and plans made by the Huaxia side before the formulation of this plan, and it took three full years to implement this plan, which is really not easy.

Zachdan led the officers to a hill and looked out over the surrounding terrain.

He looked at the side of the sea and said worriedly, "It's winter now, and the sea is seriously frozen, I'm afraid that the Houjin army will bypass the sea over there and attack the rear of our army, can the navy make a long-term docking point there?" ”

"General, as you said, it is already winter, the sea surface is seriously frozen, and the consumption of icebreakers is too great to break the ice here for a long time, so the navy cannot provide effective support in the winter for a long time."

Zachdan's brow furrowed even deeper.

Seeing this situation, a staff officer beside him was relieved and said, "General, according to the estimate of the General Staff, the Houjin Army has besieged the Daling River for half a year, consuming a lot of material resources.

With the enemy's reserves to grab mines, it is impossible for them to go out with the whole division this year anyway, even if something big happens, then the maximum number of men and horses that can be drawn will not exceed three or five thousand.

What's more, there is also the raid that we carried out under the leadership of the king on the Houjin army that completed the Battle of Dalinghe, that time it gave the Houjin side a hard blow, and even Huang Taiji cleaned it up.

Now Houjin, if our army is approaching the capital of the country and giving it the danger of losing the country, then I am afraid that those Baylors within them are busy fighting for power and profit, and they have no time to take care of this side.

So, we really don't need to worry too much about the enemy's reaction. ”
