Chapter 509: The Great Ming of the Attack(1/2)
Just as the Imperial Camp landed in Qinghua and cut Annan off at the same time, Xiong Tingbi, the Minister of War, also took a warship into the Baiteng River.
His Majesty the Emperor is a five-way army.
Nanyang Company Transportation Imperial Camp Log in Qinghua to cut off Annan.
Or to protect the commercial base of Nanyang Company.
They had tens of thousands of employees in Hoi'an, and the controller there was the Ruan family. In name, Ruan Huang was the garrison of the Li Dynasty in Hue, but in fact, it can be said that it was a country of its own. The Nanyang area directly called them Guangnan Kingdom. If the Zheng family in the north were defeated, they would definitely retreat south. At that time, the Ruan family would be difficult to resist, and then the Nanyang company in Hoi'an was in danger. Therefore, the imperial camp cut off Qinghua and cut off the connection between the Ruan family and the north, and the rest was to force them to surrender...
There is no suspense about this.
As long as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty appointed him as an official of the same level as the Mo family.
Then he will turn against him very simply.
So I cut him off first, and then the rest is the job of tens of thousands of employees of Nanyang Company in Hoi Anna.
He originally relied on cooperation with Nanyang Company.
In the direction of Yunnan, the Yunnan army of King Mu Rui of Qianning County went south along the Red River, and all the lands were captured and placed into Yunnan and continued to be under the jurisdiction of the Mu family. He and the Yunnan generals would be very happy. In the direction of Guangxi, Liu Jing commanded the main force of the imperial camp. With the route of the Mongolian southern expedition, the Mo family cooperated with the Mo family to go south and join the army in Wanjie City. Xiong Tingbi personally led the shipping fleet with the Minister of War, entered the Baiteng River and joined the army from the Baiteng River to join the army and provided continuous supplies for him. The latter would attack Jiaozhou after obtaining supplies, which was Shenglong City at this time.
The final battle of Shenglong.
In fact, the most important thing in fighting Annan in the north is not fighting.
It's not difficult to fight.
The hard thing is to maintain logistics in this ghost place.
Therefore, land attack and sea logistics are the standard configuration for fighting Shenglong, and the core of this standard configuration is the intersection of the navy and the army.
Land is also water.
The rivers in northern Vietnam are downstream, even if the cavalry is like this, because there are all horizontal rivers north of Shenglong, and any cavalry will be useless to get here. This intersection is the intersection of rivers south of Wanjie. There is not a river, but almost all rivers north of Shenglong gather at that range of dozens of miles at most. Open Wanjie City, the sea and land meet and then attack Shenglong. If you cannot open Wanjie City, the sea and land cannot meet, even if it is only a few dozen miles away, because these dozens of miles are mountains and forests, and then land cannot maintain it due to insufficient supply, and even after a long time, the army will be defeated because of the lack of food. The Mongolian invasion of Vietnam was because of the blockage of Wanjie City, and the transportation by sea was also defeated, and eventually the army was defeated due to illness and hunger.
Xiong Tingbi also has to take this path.
There is no other choice.
“Rise the balloon!”
He said.
A hot air balloon slowly rose on a warship following him.
This thing has been used by Yang Feng a long time ago.
Yang Dashui used this verbal cannon to break the city in Changzhou.
Of course, His Majesty the Emperor also had to imitate it, and the fuel was whale oil, and he even took it personally. Of course, this Nanzheng also had to match Xiong Tingbi. Soon, this balloon actually tied up rose to mid-air, and the observer above held a telescope to search.
Xiong Tingbi was below, silently looking at the endless forests on the right bank and the endless swamps on the left bank...
"The commander, there are a large number of ambushes in the left bank swamp!"
Fu Zonglong, the actual emperor's imperial envoy next to him, said.
Then he looked at the balloon again.
The observers above were waving the signal flag to send a simple report to them.
"a lot of."
He continued.
"Order all ships to prepare to face the enemy!"
Xiong Tingbi said.
In the vast fleet of ships along the White Teng River, the imperial camp soldiers on the transport ships launched field artillery, infantrymen set up muskets, and even rockets were launched...
It's not the rockets of the Red Turban Militia.
That can only be used to attack large warships at close range.
However, the effect of attacking small boats is too poor, mainly because they have no accuracy. They charge with a large number of fast-padded boats, and launch them at close range like to torpedo boats, and then hope that they can hit the small boats with good luck, but it is a waste to attack small boats. Therefore, the transport ships are full of hundreds of tigers running together, but the gunpowder now is not the case before. They are purified and refined raw materials and repeated trials. Therefore, the new hundreds of tigers running together is enhanced and has a strong lethality for targets without armor or leather armor.
"They're out!"
Fu Zonglong looked at the observer above his head.
Then the warning flags rose on their masts.
"One mile."
He shouted immediately.
Xiong Tingbi smiled slightly.
"Stop the boat!"
He continued.
His ship stopped immediately, and the transport ships behind quickly approached, forming a continuous Great Wall on the White Teng River, with countless guns and rockets waiting.
"I have been working hard for more than ten years, just to subdue dragons and tigers, but in the end I can only step on a few insects here. The beautiful mountains and rivers behind me cannot return, but I have to overcome all obstacles in this malaria land. It is really ridiculous to calculate. Xiong is not training troops to deal with some barbarians here."
Xiong Tingbi said with a wry smile.
But what can he do?
He can't beat Yang Feng.
Since you can't beat Yang Feng, you can only fight those who can beat him. Since you can't clear the mountains and rivers for the emperor, you can only come out to expand your territory.
Can't beat Yang Feng or others?
In a waterway to their left, a shout suddenly sounded.
Almost at the same time, a small boat crashed into the reeds.
But at the same time, the field cannon next to him suddenly ejected flames.
The enemy on the ship looked at the guns that were only ten feet apart in shock, where the flames turned into splashing flesh and blood. The shells also smashed the two companions behind him to splash flesh and blood, and then crashed into the bottom of their ship. On both sides of them, accompanied by the same shouts, small boats broke through the reeds, and the enemy soldiers on the ship roared like crazy and launched a charge, but what awaited them was a Great Wall that seemed to have turned into a volcanic eruption. At this moment, countless field artillery and muskets kept spraying flames at them in a spectacular way, and the harsh howling of rockets and the howling of shells, they were also constantly turning into splashing flesh and blood.
The smoke of gunpowder instantly covered the river.
No one can see each other for the time being, both parties blocked by gunpowder.
The soldiers of the imperial camp were just mechanically reloading and opening fire.
Their rigorous training has finally been tested.
After all, they were also the Emperor's two years of hard work, countless silvers were spent, a complete set of training manuals for the Red Turban Army, and Xiong Tingbi, who were also well-trained, had rich experience in training. At this time, the imperial camp was actually almost the same as the Red Turban Army. With the skillful operation of the gunners, those field guns could even reach a rate of fire per round of more than 20 seconds. In fact, the light bore gun fire rate was faster than the musket, and if it was a shotgun, it was even faster.
After all, there is no need to aim.
And those musketeers kept turning around and shooting on the deck as if they were on land.
They can't see the enemy clearly.
There is smoke in front of you.
So they don’t need to aim carefully, just look in the general direction.
The sound of gunfire continued on the White Teng River.
At first, they could hear all kinds of screams, but soon there was no more screams. However, the dead bodies and broken wood pushed by the river began to appear on the side of their ships. The soldiers who did not receive the order were still repeating, as if there were still countless enemies ahead of them.
"stop!"
Xiong Tingbi said.
The guns and cannons finally began to stop.
Losing the replenishment of gunpowder, it gradually dispersed on the river surface.
Then countless broken boats, floating corpses, and river water stained with blood appeared in front of them.
"The remaining enemy troops are running away!"
Fu Zonglong said, looking at the hot air balloon above his head.
"Let the mortars open fire, bloom bullets, and truncate the fuses, and the ships continue to move forward!"
Xiong Tingbi said.
Then his ship re-started, continuing its sailing under the sea breeze blowing inland, and the transport ships behind them also started to move one by one. On several transport ships loaded with mortars, the artillery soldiers were shooting according to the approximate position of the target uploaded to them by the hot air balloon. The flowering bullets that cut off the fuse kept blowing up in the distant sky, as if they were fireworks to celebrate their victory.
He was also driving the enemy troops below who had become frightened birds and fled...
And at this moment, in the distant North Korea, the army of Yang Prime Minister was moving forward in the wind and snow.
"Supreme, the wind and snow are a bit heavy. Should we find a place to rest first?"
Shulhazi...
Yang Qi, Duke of Heshun County of the Ming Dynasty, came to the chariot with an ice slag and said.
“Is it snowy?”
Yang Feng said.
"After all the subordinates were frozen to death, and many of their fingers were frozen. The Prime Minister, North Korea is the coldest at this time, but it is getting warmer the more it goes south, and it is the north area. It is common for people to freeze to death in winter. It is even colder in the mountains to the west, and even our Jurchens are unwilling to go."
