Unlike Fuzhou, and even Gaizhou, the location of Haizhou City can be regarded as the core ruling area of the Later Jin Jurchen regime. 【Reading.com】

Between Gaizhou and Haizhou, there are two cities, Yaozhou and Ximu City, and behind Haizhou City is Anshan. And behind Anshan is Liaoyang, the former "capital" of the Later Jin Jurchen regime.

Therefore, Huang Taiji, who had just received the news of the destruction of Gaizhou Wei, was quite surprised by the sudden appearance of the hostile military force of the Renaissance Army outside Haizhou City.

It's normal for Huang Taiji to be surprised. He did not know what the military plans of the Ba'ath Army were like.

According to the military plan formulated by the party committee of the southern Liaoning base area, the Gaizhou area is the main battlefield of the decisive battle between the revival army and the Houjin female Allah. However, in order to effectively weaken the military strength of the Later Jin Jurchens, the entire area north of Gaizhou was an area where the Baath Army carried out free military strikes.

In order to effectively train the new recruits of the Ba'ath Army, a brigade of Ba'ath cavalry was assigned to various units fighting in the vast area between Gaizhou and Haizhou. The main task of these brigade-based mixed units was to destroy the military strongholds and slave farms of the Later Jin Jurchen regime in the region. The purpose of this was to attack the living forces of the Later Jin Jurchens on the one hand, and to free the Han slaves in the region on the other.

The Fuxing Army, which attacked the Mongols and Han forces outside Haizhou, was a mixed brigade of the Fuxing Army, consisting of three infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions, and a station car platoon, which carried out tasks between Gaizhou and Haizhou.

This force originally had no plans to attack Haizhou City. They accidentally bumped into the outside of Haizhou City in the process of cleaning up the Houjin military stronghold all the way.

However, the commander of this mixed brigade, Zhao Guogang, was known for his courage in the revival army. After receiving a report from the scouts, he did not hesitate to lead his troops to attack the unsuspecting Mongol and Han troops outside Haizhou.

There was no experience in the large-scale application of cavalry within the Baath Army. In fact, not to mention cavalry operations, even infantry operations, the Revival Army did not have experience in large-scale formal operations.

The total number of Mongol soldiers and Han troops outside Haizhou was in the early 10,000s. The number of troops in Zhao Guogang's mixed brigade was about 3,000 people. According to the calculation method of the Fuxing Army, although Zhao Guogang did not know how many Houjin troops were in Haizhou City, according to the scouts' report on the troops outside the city, he felt that his combat strength was just equal to that of the more than 10,000 people.

In Zhao Guogang's view, when the Revival Army faced an opponent with the same combat strength, even if the total strength of the other side seemed to be large, there was no reason for the Revival Army to retreat and dodge. It was precisely on the basis of this idea that Zhao Guogang and the staff officers of the staff of the mixed brigade felt that this was a battle that had to be fought.

Zhao Guogang had no experience in applying cavalry units. So he used the idea of infantry combat to deploy cavalry troops. That is, in his hands, the cavalry of the Baath Army on the battlefield undertook the task of harassing and luring the enemy, delaying sabotage and pursuit.

In the face of tens of thousands of enemies, with only three battalions of his main infantry force, Zhao Guogang's plan was to let the cavalry battalion harass the enemy so that the enemy could not effectively deploy the formation, and at the same time spread out all three of his battalions to carry out a comprehensive attack on the enemy.

Therefore, in this case, two battalions of more than 1,000 cavalry first bombarded the Mongol army and the Han army that were organizing a formation outside Haizhou with rocket launchers, and then used rifles to shoot at various small groups of people who were still maintaining the organization.

Like the infantry of the Baxing Army, the cavalry of the Baxing Army is also the kind of unit that has little battlefield experience, but has conducted a lot of internal exercises. For the first time in actual combat, the cavalry of the Revival Army themselves had no bottom.

From the point of view of horsemanship, the riding skills of the cavalry of the Baath Army were actually quite inferior. The vast majority of cavalry were able to shoot and slash on horseback, and that was entirely on the basis of the high degree of organization of the Ba'ath Army. Judging from the battlefield, the cavalry of the Baxing Army, even in a dispersed state, existed in platoons.

The well-trained horses marched in a dense formation, and the judicious use of bazookas and repeating rifles made the Renaissance cavalry look like the four-legged infantry.

Twenty cavalry squads lined up in a neat formation, in a line of tens of thousands of people, in a pattern of different frequencies but the same movements, bombarded with bazookas at a distance, fired with rifles at near, and slashed with sabers when they were close. It caused great chaos in the Mongol and Han armies, which numbered more than 10,000 people.

The unprepared Mongol and Han soldiers quickly fell into a state of rout after being bombarded by bazookas and rifle fire, which made the sabers of the Renaissance cavalry generally cut on the backs of the Mongol soldiers and Han soldiers who were scattering and fleeing.

The damage that a thousand cavalry can inflict on tens of thousands of Mongol soldiers and Han troops is actually not very large. Even with the use of bazookas and cavalry repeating guns, the twenty Fuxing cavalry who rushed into the crowd of Mongol and Han soldiers caused more than 2,000 casualties.

Under normal circumstances, according to the combat ability of the Later Jin Jurchen, the performance of the Mongol soldiers and the Han army was not very bad. After all, the battle damage inflicted on them by the cavalry of the Baath Army has reached about two layers.

Under normal circumstances, ancient armies often collapsed when they reached one level of battle damage. And this is still in the case of a frontal battle. The military strength of the Later Jin Jurchen was a big one in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, which was relatively strong. However, in the event of a sudden attack, the battle damage reached two layers in an instant, and the collapse of the troops was completely a normal phenomenon.

When Zhao Guogang saw the Mongol soldiers and the Han army collapse and flee together, he did not order to stop the military movements behind. He didn't believe that the enemy had collapsed, but rather thought it was a tactic of the enemy.

After all, in the Baxing Army's own exercises, in low-intensity tactical confrontations, when the battle losses are more than four or five percent, one side will be judged to be defeated. Therefore, in his opinion, the enemy's battle damage is only two layers, and there is no reason for collapse at all.

However, the reality is that Zhao Guogang underestimated his own combat capability and overestimated the enemy's will to fight. When the infantry of the Fuxing Army had just begun to advance after completing the formation, tens of thousands of Mongol soldiers and Han troops outside Haizhou had already fled in all directions and could not catch up.

When the cavalry of the Fuxing Army completed the harassment task and returned to the rear of the Fuxing Army, Zhao Guogang complained a little about why he didn't give the cavalry troops more freedom. Because after careful observation, Zhao Guogang believed that the cavalry troops could completely expand the results of the battle and carry out further pursuit of the scattered enemy troops.

From the time when the cavalry of the Fuxing Army rushed into the positions of the Mongol and Han armies to the time when more than 10,000 Mongol and Han troops dispersed, the process took less than twenty minutes.

Huang Taiji, who climbed the wall of Haizhou City and wanted to observe the battlefield situation, was not even completely detached from the shock brought by the information about the destruction of Gaizhou City, and the Mongol and Han troops outside Haizhou City disappeared.

Such a sudden situation and drastic changes made Huang Taiji, who was already a little dizzy, lose his basic reaction ability all of a sudden. It was Huang Taiji's deputy, Jilharang, who was the first to reflect and gave the order to strictly defend the city.

More than 10,000 troops were beaten and scattered on the spot by thousands of men, and strictly guarding the city was of course the most rational reaction. Seeing the infantry of the Fuxing Army approaching Haizhou City in the distance, Huang Taiji reacted and ordered the troops to immediately go to the wall to defend.

The application of bazookas and repeating guns gave the Baath cavalry a combat power unimaginable to the people of this time and space. When Zilharang and Huang Taiji saw the Baath cavalry bombarding their Mongol-Han troops with bazookas from a long distance, they also felt a sense of helplessness.

The Mongols did not fail to try to mount and counterattack in the face of the attack of the Baath cavalry. However, the bombardment of bazookas and the accumulation of rifle fire made it possible for the Mongols to escape, even if they were on horseback. The tremendous power of the rockets made it impossible for the Mongol-Han troops to organize effectively.

The cavalry of the Baath Army will always attack their own troops outside of the attack range of their own troops. It is only when everyone turns and flees that the unfortunate lone cavalry and infantry will be cut down with sabers by the enemy cavalry who have caught up.

Huang Taiji, who felt more and more dizzy in his head, found that his bows and spears had no chance to face the enemy. In such a battle, it is really helpless to lose on my side
