With the occupation of Deng 6 o'clock, the troops originally on Jeju Island began to move to Deng 6 in batches, and the number of troops of the communist army on the coast of Tianjin was as high as 20,000 for a time. If this is an Age of Empires game, it is undoubtedly a monarchicide mode, where a large number of communist armies are gathered a hundred kilometers away from the capital, and since a large-scale attack at sea has not been considered in this hundred kilometers, there are no large military fortresses. The top brass of the Yuan Dynasty can now feel the cold sword of the Compree Army.

Cheng climbed off the boat and came to an open space with 6 seas to release a large box with a length of 20 meters and a width of 10 meters and a height of 10 meters. 6 Hai asked, "Commander-in-chief, this is a big killer, right?" Cheng Pan said: "Call me Mr. now, this battle is under your command, I just cooperate with you" Cheng Pan pointed to this huge iron-shelled box and said: "This is indeed a big killing weapon, but his intimidation significance is stronger than the actual combat significance" 6 Haiduo glanced at this box and imagined the appearance of this thing in Beijing, and smirked unconsciously. Cheng Pan "coughed" and let 6 Hai come back to his senses. Cheng Pan said: "Put this thing here first, let people look at it first" 6 Hai asked strangely: "Doesn't Mr. carry him with him?" With Mr.'s supernatural powers, it should be possible. Cheng Pan said that when we have a firm foothold at the foot of Dadu, I will make another trip to transport it, and now I will use my magic power to bring a little more supplies. 6 Hai nodded and said, "Mr. Understand, with the assistance of your supernatural powers, we will win this battle."

Now Cheng Pan's originally ineffective sea knowledge space has shown his perverted side, and the 3o meter by 3o meter by 3o meter sea knowledge space is a huge war auxiliary ability for the army. It is simply a myth in this era that it can carry about 8,000 to 12,000 supplies with it, and even in the 21st century, the ability of the US military to carry out air supply to the encircled troops cannot reach this range, after all, the world's largest transport aircraft at that time only had a carrying capacity of 600 tons, which required a giant runway to land, otherwise it could only carry out inaccurate airborne landing. As for the largest transport that can accurately deliver supplies, the maximum load of the helicopter is only twenty tons. Now that Cheng Pan is a cheater, the expeditionary force only needs to leave one division to defend the port with large-caliber naval guns, and the expeditionary force will cross a hundred kilometers and approach Beijing, without a supply line. As long as Cheng Pan runs alone at night, it's okay.

However, Cheng Pan's ability is now only known by a small number of people, and this ability to defy the sky was sealed after the establishment of the republican government. Therefore, later generations have doubts about the total number of troops of the expeditionary force, according to the official history, how to ensure the supply of two or four thousand men and three hundred cannons, if the supply line of the garrison army in the port alone cannot be guaranteed in any way. Therefore, the total number of expeditionary forces was more than 50,000 people.

During this period of time when the communist army was increasing its troops, the Yuan Dynasty was also increasing its troops, and the generals of the entire North China army that had originally planned to deploy to the south basically received gold medals from the Yuan Dynasty emperor. A large number of troops began to move closer to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and while they were busy saving their lives, the Yuan Dynasty selectively forgot about the person responsible for letting Cheng Pan go to sea, and now it seems that letting Cheng Pan go to sea is the biggest mistake, and the policy of turning the internal scourge into a pirate is a complete failure, which is to replace the stomach ache with a knife to the head.

On January 1o, 1349 A.D., when the communist army had gathered its strength, the 24,000 troops of the communist army, three infantry divisions, one cavalry division, three hundred artillery pieces and fifty mortars, began to leave the port and advance in the direction of the Yuan Dynasty. This strength has exceeded the number of 18ooo men of the Anglo-French army at the time of the Second Opium War. The equipment of the Compreanse is now even better than that of the Anglo-French forces that bypassed Malacca in the original plane. At this time, in this crucial battle, the Communist Army still did not adopt an immature skirmish line configuration, and still adopted the tactics of steady platoon shooting. This force was about to face a huge force of 50,000 cavalry, 250,000 infantry, and a total of 300,000 infantry gathered by the Yuan Dynasty near the capital. The Republicans, less than one-tenth of the enemy, were surrounded by the Yuan army like stones thrown into a pool of water thirty miles away from the protection of the naval guns.

"The No. 3 artillery group is released, the No. 2 artillery group is forty-seven degrees, and the distance is 12oo ready to ,......" Zhu Zifu issued a dry taste to the artillery group, and from time to time the herald of the 6 seas came in to report the requirements, and the 6 seas were also busy at this time, and the local cavalry was being slaughtered in several phalanx gaps under the blow of the hollow phalanx. This is the third time that the enemy has blocked the attack from the morning to the evening, and in just twenty miles, the expeditionary force has made 20,000 corpses along the way, well, no, some of the "corpses" still have a breath of air, but they are in a bullet, missing arms and legs, they have lost a lot of blood, and in the case of no one to treat them, it is only a matter of time before they die completely.

The enemy attacked quickly, but retreated quickly under the faster slaughter. That's it for today's march, and the expeditionary force has begun to camp. At this time the cannon began to fire at a distance,. The Yuan army, which was hit by a shrapnel bomb, quickly withdrew its troops to a distance of three kilometers.

This large battalion was quickly formed, wooden barriers and barbed wire formed a tight defensive line, and at the same time, due to the storage of Cheng Pan's supply skills, the entire barracks were surrounded by fires, coupled with the strict duty system of the Communist Army. The spies of the Mengyuan army sometimes can't be relied on. As soon as they got close to two hundred meters, a circular spot of light suddenly pointed at them, and seven or eight snipers had already pointed their guns at them, and pressed the trigger while the Yuan army spies were blinded by the sudden light source. After losing a large number of spies, all the generals of the Yuan army who surrounded the expeditionary force dismissed the idea of a night attack.

This light source is a carbon arc lamp, which is an electric light source that uses two carbon rod electrodes in contact when they are separated after being energized in the air, and becomes a searchlight under the action of a concave reflector and a convex lens, this equipment needs to be filled with nitrogen, and a battery is required, in order to save electricity, this searchlight is not turned on all night. It only started to open when I was camping and someone came through the test. But it was this thing that made the Yuan army in the distance add a sense of mystery to the expeditionary force, and the current master of Gewu in the Yuan Dynasty was still blank in terms of electricity. The electromagnetism in the territory of the communist army has not yet been transmitted, and the current generals of the Yuan army cannot explain this phenomenon, and since it cannot be explained, various explanations of gods and monsters have emerged. It is famously said that the Communists were helped by the stars in the sky, and that an immortal helped them to illuminate the night in this anti-thief camp. Well, the next thing is to show in the direction of the traitorous ministers in the court, and when it reaches this point, the general begins to issue gag orders. But the searchlight matter could not be solved, and the generals moved the camp two miles (one kilometer) further away from the camp on the principle of being out of sight and out of mind, while enforcing a strict curfew, and beheading anyone who spoke at night. Many people hung their heads on poles overnight. The army quickly quieted down, but a strange atmosphere spread throughout the Yuan army.

At eight o'clock the next day, the Communists began to pull out their camps and continue to move forward, this day was better than the first day, the Yuan army only moved two cavalry raids today, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and after being beaten back, leaving a place, a total of 9,000 corpses, the Communists advanced again twenty-five kilometers.

On the third day, the Yuan army seemed to be afraid and did not launch a large-scale attack, but in the periphery with the republican cavalry gave birth to a cavalry battle of 500 people, I have to say that the combat power of the Mongolian cavalry in the north is indeed stronger than the combat effectiveness of the cavalry in the south, these Mongolian cavalry braved the rain of bullets to throw bows and arrows, which brought certain casualties to the communist army, and after a day of chaotic fighting, the communist army died a total of 7 people, all of whom were killed by arrows in the neck, and as for the wounded, it reached 252 people, most of them were arrows in the limbs, After this war, they could all recover, and these Republican cavalry, whose hearts were heavily protected by metal armor, inflicted 2,500 casualties on their opponents, and the mortality rate of the Yuan army was as high as more than 70 percent, and most of the remaining survivors would be disabled for life. The round-tipped bullets used by the Republican cavalry unleash kinetic energy in the human body with full power. Although this is the best way to reduce the artillery casualties of the communist army, these cavalry can be said to be the hearts and minds of warlords from all walks of life, they are from the king of Qin, not to leave all their wealth here. King Qin is for the benefit of the future, and now he leaves all his troops here, how can he live in the troubled times in the future.

So on the third day, even the cavalry encounters were few, and the Communists began to march forward without any harassment. The numerous Yuan armies around were separated from the Communists for a few miles. At present, all the Yuan troops around them do not intend to fight hard against the hard bones of this 20,000-strong Republican army, nor do they want to hit the moldy head of the Republican army protected by naval artillery on the seaside. Instead, they were ready to cut off the food routes of the two armies and let the Communists retreat on their own. But Cheng Pan's cheat will make them die.

As the Communists marched along the march and relatively calmly "besieged" the many Yuan troops of the Communists, Beijing began to go crazy in a hurry. The Seventh Prince came out of the palace, and he was very unhappy after being scolded by the emperor just now. In his palace, he began to curse several Yuan army generals: "What do you want to do now to lead thieves into the city? Wanhu Hou Hua'er replied respectfully with his head down: "The prince is angry, the thief army is strong, but it is not heavy, and after its momentum is exhausted, it will definitely be able to fight down" The seventh prince said in a strange manner: "So, are you preparing to annihilate the thieves under the imperial city?" Hua Er Bu Chi and a few generals bowed their heads and were silent. The Seventh Prince suddenly scolded: "You are confused, even if you can extinguish these thieves outside the capital, but can this make up for the consequences of the Holy Driver being disturbed?" The Seventh Prince continued in a heart-wrenching tone: "This enemy army is simply composed of a dead soldier, in order to conquer the imperial city, no matter whether we can destroy them quickly or not, as long as they knock on the walls of the capital, they will shake the prestige of the imperial court in front of the people of the world." Hua Er Buchi suddenly knelt on the ground and arched his hands and said to the Seventh Prince: "The humble position will definitely not let the thieves' tricks succeed, please rest assured that the emperor, please rest assured that the Seventh Prince" The Seventh Prince waved his hand and said: "Go."

After these generals left, the Seventh Prince sighed: "What an eventful season."

After the expeditionary force advanced all the way to the fifth day, the cavalry division of the expeditionary force could already see the walls of Dadu. At this time, the expeditionary force arrived near the Tonghui River in Tongzhou, where there will be a stone bridge in a hundred years in the original time and space, and in another four hundred years, this place is the place where the Anglo-French army and the Qing cavalry fought on the Bali River. Of course, Cheng Pan will not know this location now, this location is to cross the famous Bali River in the past. The reason why the troops are now stopped in this place is that after two days of peacetime, now it seems that the Yuan army is going to make a big move. It just so happened that this place was conducive to defense, so 6 Seas chose this location to station.

Of course, the Yuan army has a big operation now, and after repeated urging from the capital to let the expeditionary force continue to operate, now the cavalry of 50,000 people has begun to prepare for a collective charge, and the scene of the Bali River will appear five hundred years in advance.

Although the fierce artillery caused a lot of damage to the attacking cavalry group, it could not compare with the barrage of later generations, and the killing of the shrapnel could not stop the cavalry charge. Soon the cavalry came within the effective range of three hundred meters of the infantry, and rows of neat and rapid muskets began to fire. In front of the six companies of rifles, the cavalry was never able to break through to within 100 meters of the position. It was as if the cavalry had crashed into an invisible wall. At this time, a cavalry of 9,000 men began to attack from the flank, and a regiment of more than 1,800 people arranged here seemed to be somewhat unable to stop the advance of the cavalry, so that these cavalry once broke into the position within 8o meters of the cavalry, and the bows and arrows thrown by the cavalry had begun to cause the attrition of the communist army, but it was like this, and at a distance of 80 meters from the position, 6 seas set up several clumps of barbed wire. At this time, almost all the barbed wire fences of the Compa are here, although they cannot be completely protected. But it caused great trouble to the charging cavalry. In the process of high charging, he was hung by this thing, and a large piece of skin and flesh was easily taken away. This thing is still chopping with a saber, and it must be cut with a saw, but the Communists will not give them this opportunity. The cavalry, blocked in front of the barbed wire, of course, would not continue to begin to play a game of piercing to this line of defense. A large number of cavalry began to gather in areas where there was no barbed wire, and there was no way that the republican territory was now underproduced, and there were only so many barbed wire. But enough. At this point, the Gatling machine gun was wreaking havoc. Due to the difficulty of producing metal bullets, the Communists have finally developed a paper-shelled bullet suitable for machine guns, and this cardboard bullet has been hardened and oiled to keep it smooth, and finally the jamming rate has been reduced. At the same time, the large-scale use of machine guns was achieved, and fifty machine guns were fired at several places where large numbers of cavalry were gathered without barbed wire, and at the same time, mortars began to unleash their power in this crowd. Five minutes later, the Yuan army knew that this weak point was actually a pit. The collapse began, and in those five minutes, the machine gun swarms fired a total of 250,000 rounds. There was not one out of ten cavalry who came to charge.

At this time, the frontal battlefield was gradually divided into winners and losers, and in the afternoon the artillery began to bombard the opposite bank and erect pontoon bridges, and the Yuan army lost the Tonghui River after heavy losses, and the next day after a series of tug-of-wars. This blocking campaign of the Yuan army was a complete failure. In this battle, the Yuan army lost a total of 38,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, and the expeditionary force in this battle was worse than the British and French forces, with a total of 321 casualties, and the current Mongols are still a little more fierce than the Qing Dynasty. After that, the number of Yuan troops near Dadu was still huge, but no army dared to take the initiative to attack the communist army.

After ten days of marching and fighting, the Communists finally planted the sickle and hammer banner under the capital. Of course, after the Battle of Tonghuihe, the communist army did not continue to operate for two days, on the one hand, the army needed to rest, and on the other hand, Cheng Pan needed to get supplies. Now that the battle under the city of Beijing has been fought, the next step is to be planned, and the large boxes and a large number of supplies by the sea in Tianjin were included in the sea of knowledge by Cheng Pan.
