Chapter 153 Know yourself and know your opponent

The night attack of the old man of the Mo family actually did not cause many casualties to the Ming army, but his own pirates were buried alive by the firearms of the Ming army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the old man of the Mo family did not take the casualties of these people to heart, and after seeing the powerful firearms of the Ming army, he began to actively think about countermeasures, how to defeat the Ming army and keep his lair.

All in all, the Mo family did not give up on the plan to run an overseas nest for two or three generations.

Although the Mo family is a pirate, they are still doing well in terms of intelligence. However, this good intelligence organization made the old man of the Mo family frown.

When the mighty general Zhu Shou's achievements were unabashedly placed in front of his eyes, the old man of the Mo family almost made him get pneumonia.

What a resume this is? The old man of the Mo family closed his eyes in pain. From a nobody's garrison, he has participated in the defense of the capital and the Korean War, and has been promoted step by step to a mighty general. Basically, every battle is a complete victory, and countless enemy generals are killed.

The firearms battalion is invincible. It can only be described in four words.

However, the old man of the Mo family still did not intend to give up his status as a rich man. Because he can see that the sea power of the Ming Dynasty is still weak, if he does not take advantage of its weakness to eliminate it, when the Ming navy grows to a certain size, I am afraid that his Mo family will no longer have a foothold.

It is true that the twelve giant ships of the Ming Navy are terrifying, but Dawan Island is not Kinmen Island, and the bombing that you are going around in circles will only hurt the coastal areas.

If you want to completely take Dawan Island, you must send ground troops to fight. However, the old man of the Mo family has already received clear information, and the Ming army for this landing operation has a total of more than 10,000 people. Moreover, these 10,000 people are destined to be inseparable from the follow-up supply of twelve giant ships.

Therefore, the old man of the Mo family took a note, as long as he could fight a protracted battle, he could drag this group of fat and strong tigers into skinny hungry wolves.

And he can rely on the vast depth of Dawan Island to make this group of Ming troops fighting away suffer enough. In terms of familiarity with the terrain of Dawan Island, who can compare to his old man?

But the old man of the Mo family miscalculated.

There is a person in the world who is more familiar with Dawan Island than him, and this person happens to be Zhu Shou, the general of the Ming Army.

As a promising young man with strong patriotic enthusiasm, Zhu Houzhao had always been very concerned about Dawan's return to the motherland's embrace before coming to Daming.

In fact, it is not only him who is obsessed, since the fifties and sixties of the last century, many people have been very concerned about this matter, and this kind of obsession has continued for more than half a century.

Of course, from the beginning of the 21st century, many of the agendas have been boring and boring activities that civilian military enthusiasts have been addicted to, and it is impossible to put them into action.

However, Zhu Houzhao, who has been involved in it, still has some understanding of Taiwan's topography, and it can even be said that his research is very profound.

Not to mention anything else, I am afraid that there is no chance of fighting in real wars, but virtual wars, Dawan Island has been ravaged countless times on the imaginary battlefield of many netizens. Although many of them are unrealistic and false, from other perspectives, those who dare to make such remarks will inevitably have a certain understanding of Dawan, and there are useful resources that Zhu Houzhao can absorb and absorb.

Zhu Houzhao rushed to the beach and landed, and after withstanding an attack, he did not move. He placed a huge sand table in his Chinese army tent, and relied on his memory to restore the terrain of Dawan Island to a certain extent.

Take the current position of the Ming Dynasty official army as an example, because it was landed overnight, after breaking Kinmen Island, the black light was touched.

Therefore, the place where Zhu Houzhao's army was located at this time was the northernmost part of Dawan Island. Two steps further on, there is the Datun volcanic group, although the volcanoes here are not as high as the red Fuji of the island country, and even below 1,000 meters above sea level, but they are still an important barrier in the northern part of Dawan Island in this era.

The group of calves of the Mo family before was arrogant with their backs to the volcanoes. As a number of active volcanoes, the time of the last eruption is no longer verifiable, but the fertile land accumulated by the volcanic ash does make the greenery here quite primitive. That's why there is a story of the Mo pirates who turned around and went into the forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After carefully studying what he was in, the long stick in Zhu Houzhao's hand clicked a few times on the sand table. Only now did he realize that his decision was a bit impulsive, this place was not suitable for landing, and the mountains and forests were dense so that his soldiers could not play at the level they should have.

From a military point of view, the northern part of Dawan Island is the fjord coast from Sansable Kok to the mouth of the Tamsui River, and there are many headlands and bays, and Zhu Houzhao's big ships can only dock from a considerable distance, and the landing on the beach requires small boats to go back and forth many times to complete, but fortunately, the Mo family did not regard this place as a defensive place, let alone set up shore artillery.

The western part of Dawan Island is a sandy coast from the mouth of the Tamsui River to Fangliao, the coastline here is straight, the beach is long, the key is that there are fewer natural barriers on the seabed such as reefs, and after going ashore, it is a small plain, with a broad field of vision and flat land, which is more suitable for the landing of Zhu Houzhao's army in comparison.

At that moment, Zhu Houzhao clearly ordered the army to immediately pull out the camp, planning to land again in a half-circle, and at the same time confuse the pirate gang on the island.

After boarding the giant ship, Zhu Houzhao kept himself locked in his room, which had become a combat command center, covered with sand.

In order to extend the tentacles of the Ming Dynasty to this crucial battle overseas, it is necessary to win. Therefore, for the sake of the tribe, Zhu Houzhao competed his brains and recalled the main topography of the entire Dawan Island on the sand table.

Dawan Island is mountainous, with mountains and hills accounting for two-thirds of the island's area. It is found in the eastern and central regions.

From east to west, there are five parallel mountain ranges: Taitung, Central, Yushan, Snow Mountain and Alishan, which are trending in a north-north-east-south-south-west direction, with the central mountain range as the main watershed.

Its hills mostly surround the foothills of five major mountain ranges, mainly Keelung and Zhunan hills in the north, Fengyuan and Chiayi hills in the middle and Hengchun hills in the south, with an altitude of about 600 meters.

The plains of the island are mostly in the west. The Tainan Plain is the largest, stretching from Changhua in the north to Kaohsiung in the south, covering an area of 4,550 square kilometers.

The Pingtung Plain in the south and the Yilan Plain in the northeast are also important agricultural areas. The long and narrow Taitung Rift Valley Plain, located between the Taitung Mountains and the Central Mountains, is a natural communication channel between the north and south of the east.

Fighting in such a large area, it is really difficult to wipe out the Mo family. Unless you can attract all the main forces of the Mo pirates and start a decisive battle that can achieve the effect of total annihilation......

When Zhu Houzhao was actively planning the battlefield, the pirate backbone led by the old man of the Mo family was not idle, in fact, although the Mo family said that the nest was on Dawan Island, what they really occupied was only the land in the north and west, and the other vast lands were completely in the hands of the local residents of Dawan Island who had migrated for thousands of years.
