Chapter 935
The sound of cannons in the Nanguan Pass roared. In the command post, Huang Degong stood in front of the map, and scouts reported on the battle situation on the front line from time to time.
Kong Youde fought from south to north, and Haoge fought from north to south. Ten thousand Ganchao elites were attacked by 130,000 Qing troops on both sides.
As the war continued, although the Gan Army had naval gun support, its strength gap was huge and it gradually could not withstand it.
"Governor, Yantong Mountain was attacked by the Qing army, and Wang Guangtai could not hold it back. The direction of Jinzhou was also attacked by the Qing army in Chenyang, and the north gate of the city had been captured by the Qing army." Li Yuanyin said anxiously: "If Yantong Mountain and Jinzhou fall, then only Nanpo Mountain will remain. Once the Qing army takes the Nanpo Mountain, they will open the road."
Huang Degong looked serious. He turned around and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yuan, please prepare. When necessary, you go to support Yantong Mountain. I will reinforce Jinzhou. Even if we can do it, we will be nailed to Nanguan."
After hearing this, Li Yuanyin knew that the situation had reached a crisis and was at a loss.
"The last general will receive the order." Li Yuanyin clasped his fists solemnly and then smiled: "It is the first time that he was forced to this point by the Tartars after fighting for so many years."
Huang Degong shook his head, "Bo Yuan, you were wrong. We forced them to force them. Now we are going to cut off the enemy's food route and annihilate the enemy in Lushun. The Tatars knew that they were about to finish, so they fought so hard."
Li Yuanyin smiled and said, "I understand. This just means that we have taken the right one after taking Nanguan."
After speaking, Li Yuanyin saluted and was about to go out to rectify the 800 soldiers who had retreated from the Great Wilderness Mountain and prepare to join the battlefield again.
At this time, he was about to turn around and go out when the curtain was suddenly raised. A general rushed in and said excitedly from his fingers: "Governor, reinforcements have arrived."
Huang Degong and Li Yuanyin were slightly stunned, and then they were all overjoyed, rushed out of the tent quickly, and saw a shadow of sails appearing on the sea in the distance.
The two of them could see the joy in each other's eyes when they looked at each other. The soldiers and soldiers in the shore positions stood up from the trench, waving flags and weapons to cheer loudly.
Huang Degong quickly ordered, "Hurry, let the soldiers prepare to welcome the reinforcements to land."
The sea was filled with soldiers and armies and drove into Dalian Bay in a mighty manner, which immediately attracted Kong Youde's attention on the Great Wilderness Mountain.
At this time, he stood on the top of the mountain and saw the huge fleet appearing in the distance, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Kong Youde put down the Mile Mile Mile, and his heart began to shake.
"Father, the reinforcements from Ganchao are here! What should I do?" Kong Tingxun asked urgently.
Looking at the fleet appearing on the sea, Kong Youde looked gloomy. He pondered for a while, "Send someone to report to King Su, asking our troops to follow the original plan or break through immediately!"
After arriving in Jinzhou, Haoge sent messengers to pass through the Ganjun's defense zone, contact Kong Youde, and agreed to advance north and south to open up the road connecting Lushun, and eat up ten thousand Ganjun from Nanguan.
But now that the 10,000 troops have not been eaten, and another 10,000 troops have come, which has made Kong Youde a little shaken.
If he develops in the same way, his food will be exhausted. What worries him the most is that, halfway through the battle, reinforcements will land in the reinforcements.
If one drum is made, he will decline again. If three drums pass, he will inevitably fall into crisis.
Now the defense line of the Gan Army is supported by points. If the Qing army wants to break through, as long as it is willing to accept some casualties and discard the baggage and artillery, it is still possible to break out under the attack of the Gan Army.
However, when breaking through, facing musket shooting from the hilltops and coastal troops and bombarding artillery will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
At this time, the military ships drove into the harbor, and some of them were moored on the dock, wearing double-breasted cloth armor, a disc helmet, a square quilt, a roll of blanket, a kettle, a engineer shovel, a gunpowder jar, and a soldiers holding muskets, got off the ship.
Some of the large ships anchored on the sea lowered the boats, and the ships were filled with soldiers and rowed towards the shore.
At this time, Huang Degong led Li Yuanyin to stand at the dock and welcomed Li Chengdong, Tang Tong, Jin Shenghuan and others to the shore.
"Instructor, are we going to come late?" Li Chengdong came over to salute.
Huang Degong had been sitting on the bench for several years in Ganchao and was sent by Gao Huan to the Imperial Land University to teach military books. However, this also has an advantage, that many Ganchao officers have listened to his class and can be regarded as his students.
Huang Degong smiled and said, "It's just right. If you are half a day late, I will have to fight the Tartars in person."
Li Chengdong and others looked at each other when they heard the words, saluted again and said, "Instructor, Your Majesty's orders, students and others obey your restraints. Now that we are here, I will ask the instructor to order the tasks!"
"Okay!" Huang Degong nodded and immediately ordered: "The situation is urgent now. Tingzhen, you and Yuan Bo, father and son, go to reinforce Yantong Mountain, drive Kong Youde down the mountain, and let Wang Guangtai go down the mountain to rest! Daxuan and Huchen, you go to reinforce Jinzhou and replace Li Laiheng."
When several people heard the words, they immediately clasped their fists, "I will wait for the order!"
The soldiers who landed quickly gathered on the beach and after a little formation was rectified, they went to reinforce the battlefield under the leadership of each general.
Dengzhou, Penglai.
A large number of ships came from Jiangnan and gathered in the territory of Dengzhou Prefecture.
Chen Tingyang pointed to the sea boats in the harbor and explained: "Your Majesty, you have gathered 300 sea boats now. These ships can transport more than 300 people, and the smaller ones can transport one hundred people. They should be able to deliver 30,000 people and the required equipment to Liaodong at a time."
Over the years, Ganchao maritime trade has developed rapidly, and coastal shipyards are like dumplings to build ships.
Although most of these ships cannot use wood from the Governor's District of the North Sea, it is still sufficient for ordinary navigation and trade.
Gao Huan heard that he could allow 30,000 people to cross the sea, and he already had confidence in his heart.
Now 20,000 people have landed in Liaodong, and with these 30,000 troops and 10,000 navy troops, the number of soldiers participating in the war will reach 60,000.
Gao Huan said coldly: "The Qing army still needs to garrison troops in Jinzhou. The troops they can use are about 140,000 to 140,000. I have a 60,000 army, and it is enough to defeat them!"
Although the Qing army has cooperated with the Dutch in the past two years, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of Qing troops to completely change their clothes in just two years.
This is because the Qing court had no money, and the second is that the production capacity could not be increased so quickly, and skilled craftsmen need time to cultivate.
According to Gao Huan's experience, the Qing army had a maximum of 30,000 to 40,000 people equipped with new firearms, and the remaining army was still the old-style army. It was one to half a generation away from Ganchao, and it was still using bows and arrows and coercines.
Now Gao Huan is spending a lot of money to develop steel, let military equipment supervise study the rifle of muskets, and continue to maintain the advantage of Ganchao's firearm.
If it succeeds, even if the Qing army and the Netherlands unite, Gao Huan will not be afraid at all.
Because at that time Gao Huan was already ahead of the world and left the West behind.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers are ready to board the ship. Is the target of Lushun or Nanguan?" Chen Tingyang asked.
Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Count the time, the Qing army's food should be almost exhausted. I am going to Lushunkou!"
