095 Offensive and defensive battles
Qingzhou, Qinghai Port!
While the battle on Zhang Mancheng's side was in full swing, the battle on the Qinghai Port side was also going on.
Moreover, compared to Zhang Mancheng's side, the battle on the Qinghai Port side will be even more tragic.
Although Liu Cheng has an absolute intelligence advantage on his side, the forces in Liu Cheng's hands are limited after all.
Over the past year or so, Liu Cheng's barracks have been conscripted, and with the nearly 200,000 troops that have exploded in Chang'an, the army under Liu Cheng's command is conservatively estimated to have 400,000 system soldiers alone.
However, although Liu Cheng's army is large, his territory is also large!
Troops are required in all kinds of places, plus Liu Cheng's army is in the rear, and the transportation of troops has to rely entirely on the fleet, so it is already a miracle that he can mobilize more than 200,000 troops to Qingzhou in half a month.
At this time, Qingzhou Port was really as Xu Da expected, with only about 30,000 people.
30,000 against 150,000, can such a battle not be tragic?
After Xu Da used the bandits to deceive the defenders' [Shenwei Invincible General] cannonballs, he began to launch the most fierce attack.
You must know that this Ming army under Xu Da is not the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, this Ming army is extremely fierce and extremely good at fighting!
Under the leadership of Xu Da, he slaughtered Qinghai Port like a hungry beast.
On the other side, Qinghai Port.
Although Liu Cheng did not invest a lot of troops in Qinghai Port, Liu Cheng's lineup in Qinghai Port was also quite terrifying.
The 30,000 people in Qinghai Port are all Xiliang elite infantry, and the commander is Qin Yangwu, who has a strict martial spirit, and under his command, Liu Cheng is also equipped with first-class generals such as Liu Dali, Zhou Cang, and Guan Hai.
In terms of lineup, he may lose some to Xu Da, but he will not lose too much.
Coupled with the defense facilities, they are probably able to fight against Xu Da.
According to Qin Yangwu's own estimate, he can at least resist Xu Da's attack for a day, as long as he can block Xu Da's attack for a day, then this battle can basically come to an end.
However, it turned out that Qin Yangwu overestimated himself a little and underestimated Xu Da.
From the very beginning, Xu Dajun broke out with a fierce attack that far exceeded their imagination.
What's even more terrifying is that after a few hours, the opponent's offensive not only did not reduce by half a point, but also became more and more ferocious and fierce.
After all, Qinghai Port is a port and not a city, there are no city walls, and some are just some simple fortifications.
Although the defensive power of these defense methods is okay, I don't know how much worse it is than the city wall.
Therefore, at this time, the pressure on Qin Yangwu was quite huge, and it was not enough for all the 30,000 defenders to be invested, and even Liu Dali and his generals had to join the battlefield in person to defend one side.
However, even if Liu Dali and them joined, they still couldn't turn the tide of the battle.
The Ming army's offensive under the command of Xu Da was ferocious and orderly, and once it was found that first-class generals had joined the battle, the Ming army either increased the intensity of the attack, or directly abandoned the attack in that section and invested its strength in another section.
Xu Da's approach greatly limited the play of first-class generals.
Let the first-class generals who originally relied on defense and can be generous on the battlefield dim in this battle and can not play a role at all.
On Xu Da's side, Feng Sheng, Li Wenzhong, Tang He and other generals in the Ming army relied on Xu Da's command and mobility advantages to kill all sides on the battlefield.
With this plus and one subtraction, the appearance of Liu Dali and others not only failed to save the situation, but even accelerated the deterioration of the situation.
Finally, in the sixth hour of Xu Da's attack on Qinghai Port, Qinghai Port began to lose its defensive line.
As a last resort, Qinghai Port can only tighten its defensive line.
The more the defense line of Qinghai Port shrinks, the tighter Xu Da's side chases, and it is completely a posture of not breaking Qinghai Port and vowing not to give up.
In the seventh hour of Xu Da's attack on Qinghai Port, the outermost defense line of Qinghai Port was lost, and Liu Jun retreated to the second line of defense.
In the ninth hour, the second line of defense of Qinghai Port was also lost, and Liu Jun had no choice but to retreat again and again, pushing to the last line of defense.
In fact, they fought a somewhat unreasonable battle.
It stands to reason that in the nine-hour battle, although Liu Cheng's side did lose two lines of defense, it is estimated that more than 10,000 soldiers were killed in the battle.
But Xu Da was also uncomfortable as an attacker, although he had many soldiers and his command ability far surpassed that of Qin Yangwu.
But after all, Qin Yangwu had a defense to follow, and there were all kinds of equipment to defend the city, and after nine hours of fighting, the soldiers on Xu Da's side had lost at least thirty or forty thousand people, which was almost a one-to-three battle loss.
And with the tightening of the defense line on Liu Cheng's side, Liu Jun's defense power not only did not decrease, but even increased a lot.
Under these circumstances, the battle losses of the two sides not only did not close, but even continued to expand.
It stands to reason that in this case, Xu Da should be slow, and blindly attacking is not the way.
And at this time, in fact, most of Qinghai Port has fallen into Xu Da's hands, at this time, whether he wants to rob Liu Cheng's logistics or destroy the port, it is okay, there is no need to fight Qin Yangwu to the death.
But Xu Da was going to fight Qin Yangwu to the death at this time, and he was completely in a posture of taking down Qin Yangwu's army at any cost.
In fact, at this time, what Xu Da wanted to take was not Qin Yangwu at all, but the three [Shenwei Invincible Generals] in Qinyang's martial army.
Other martial soul forces may not recognize what this thing is, but Xu Da still knows this thing.
He knew that this was artillery, and it was precisely because he knew that it was the [Divine Invincible General] that he wanted to attack wildly.
In fact, they have technical talents who can make artillery in their hands, and for some time, their technical talents have also been working hard to make artillery.
But I don't know why, they obviously mastered the technology of artillery, but they were never able to make artillery, as if the technology of that one and this one had completely failed.
Originally, Daming's side was going to give up artillery, but they saw the shadow of artillery on Liu Cheng's side, and Liu Cheng's artillery power seemed to be much more terrifying than they remembered.
This made Xu Da have the same idea as Liu Cheng, if they can grab the artillery and send it back to Xuzhou, let their technical personnel study it, maybe they will be able to mass-produce this kind of artillery.
He has also seen the power of this kind of artillery, as long as it can be mass-produced, then they will definitely be able to sweep the world.
In this way, Xu Da naturally bit Qin Yangwu to death.
However, what Xu Da didn't know was that when he was biting Qin Yangwu and not letting go, a big net against him was coming all over the world......
