Ming Zuo

Chapter 667
The emergence of the navy completely disrupted Dorgon's battle plan.

Today's Jurchens don't even know how to play with firearms, and they will be blinded when they encounter a more high-end navy.

Jurchen messengers ran along the official road, reporting the military situation to various strongholds along the way.

The Jurchens who were originally at the back with the old god all became nervous.

But how to defend the navy, they have no experience at all.

The next morning, the navy appeared on the outskirts of Changsheng Island (later Dalian Changxing Island).

It is rumored that this is the starting point where Xu Fu led boys and girls in search of immortality.

However, due to perennial wars, Changsheng Island is now deserted.

After the Jurchens occupied here, only one beacon tower was built on the island.

The main defense forces are placed at Yangguan Fort behind Changsheng Island.

After the navy conducted a reconnaissance, it decided to start here first.

Because of the occupation of Changsheng Island, you can look at Fuzhouwei.

Zhang Keda sent a squadron to insert it from the strait between Changsheng Island and Zhongdao in the south.First, they bombarded Nanxinkou and Beixinkou, and then came to Yangguan Fort.

Then the Marine Corps began to land on Changsheng Island.

The whole process was very smooth, even if the Jurchens of Fuzhou Wei watched the whole process, they could do nothing.

Dieta, the guard general of Fuzhou, felt his hands and feet were cold when he saw thousands of new troops landed on Changsheng Island.

"Hurry up and pass on Moergen Daiqing, the Fuzhou position will be lost."

When Dorgon went south to attack Lushun, he also took [-] soldiers from Fuzhouwei.

This has led to Fuzhouwei being very empty.

If it was the Ming army, Dieta would not care at all, and even thought it was a military exploit.

But looking at the countless cannons on the boat and on the island, Dieta felt that he might be buried with Fuzhouwei.

The inner side of Fuzhou Bay is very narrow, and the Marine Corps pushed the artillery to the east of Changsheng Island, which could directly hit Yangguan Fort.

Coupled with the navy's naval guns, Yangguan Fort fell into a sea of ​​​​fire and was completely destroyed in just one round of firepower.

Dieta didn't dare to stay in Yangguan Fort at all. Seeing the strong fortress vanish from a distance, he hurriedly fled back to Fuzhouwei.The four doors were closed tightly, and people blocked them.

From his heart, he really wanted to run.

But he knew even better that Fuzhouwei was the way out for the two white flags.

If he runs away without waiting for Dorgon to return, the whole family will die.

"Do you want to log in to fight Fuzhou Wei?"

The initial battle went very smoothly, which made Tang Wenhuan feel uncomfortable.

He found Zhang Keda to discuss follow-up combat missions.

Zhang Keda shook his head and informed him of the situation.

"Dorgon has already withdrawn his troops. If your Marine Corps fights Fuzhouwei, the naval support is limited, and I'm afraid you will suffer."

Fuzhouwei was more than ten miles away from the sea, and the navy's warships could not get close to the shore, so artillery support was not so easy.

Once Dorgon came back with two white flags, the first brigade of the Marine Corps alone would never win.

"Then we have nothing to do?"

Zhang Ke laughed out loud.

"Our mission was to threaten the Jurchens' retreat and force them to withdraw their troops. Now that Dorgon has withdrawn, of course we don't need to confront him head-on."

Just when Tang Wenhuan felt unwilling, Zhang Keda's hand pointed further north.

"Let's go to Gaizhouwei."

Tang Wenhuan vaguely understood something.

"You're thinking……"

Zhang Ke laughed badly.

"Since Dorgon has withdrawn, let's help him withdraw further."

For the Navy, Gaizhouwei is much easier to fight than Fuzhouwei.

Because Gaizhouwei is by the sea.

Even if the army is not sent, just bombarded by naval guns is enough for the Jurchens.

After the discussion between the two, the marines returned to the ship, and the entire fleet set off again, heading north all the way.

Dieta waited in fear, but did not wait for the new army's attack.When he heard the scouts report that the new army had left, he just felt lucky.

"Where did those southerners go?"

Dorgon came back all the way, and Dieta was dumbfounded when he asked about the military situation.

He only dared to hide in Fuzhou Guard, how could he know where the new army's fleet went?
Rolling his eyes, he quickly had an idea.

"Those southern barbarians are as cowardly as mice. When they heard that Baylor's divine soldiers had descended from heaven, they naturally ran away. According to my slave's guess, they must have returned to Lushun."

Dorgon couldn't help clenching his fists, really wanting to chop Dieta's head off.

But now is not the time to be angry.

It's easy to kill Dieta, and Fuzhou Wei will be troublesome without a guard.

The navy of the new army really made him powerless.

Looking at the boundless sea in the distance, Dorgon always felt that the sea must be the threat to Hou Jin in the future.

But how should Houjin deal with it?

He thought hard for a long time, but he still couldn't think of a way.

The Navy didn't give him enough chances to be sentimental.

Three days later, Gaizhou Wei's rescue messenger rushed all the way into the barracks.

"Baylor, the southern barbarians' army suddenly appeared in the sea off Gaizhou one day ago. They have too many cannons, and they fought for a whole day, and they have blown down the city wall of Gaizhou Guard. Gang Ata'er was seriously injured, and if they don't rescue Gaizhou The state guard can't keep it."

All the generals of the Later Jin Dynasty changed their colors.

They didn't need to look at the map at all, they knew that Gaizhou Wei absolutely must not make mistakes.

Because this is the only official way to return to Liaoyang from Lushun.

Once occupied by the new army, not only will they be cut off from supplies, but they will have to walk through the valley in the east if they want to return to the division.

At that time, the mountains will be high and the water will be long, and the roads will be difficult and difficult, so the loss will definitely not be small.

Dorgon had never fought such an aggrieved battle.

"Ben Baylor's army returned, Songzhen, Fuzhouwei is handed over to you."

Although he was going to rescue Gaizhouwei, Dorgon knew very well that Fuzhouwei must also leave enough soldiers and horses.

Otherwise, the navy of the new army will go back and forth, and Fuzhouwei will still be at risk of being lost.

This is the advantage of the navy.

With a long coastline, the navy can use ships to come and go freely, and fight wherever it wants.

Although the post-golden army moved faster on land, its manpower was sometimes poor, and it could not be compared with the navy that was recharging its strength.

If it takes too long, the delay will also drag down the Houjin Army.

The only way is to leave enough soldiers and horses in Fuzhouwei just in case.

When leading the army to set off, Dorgon was still worried.

He discovered a more serious problem.

Now in the Liaodong area occupied by Jin, the coastline is already very long.

In case of trouble, the Fuzhou Guard needs to keep enough soldiers and horses.

The same is obviously true for the future Gaizhouwei.

Doesn't that mean...

In the future, all important places by the sea will have to leave a considerable number of soldiers and horses?

Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy for the navy of the new army to find a weak point to attack?
But if there are enough soldiers and horses in every important place, will there be so many people in Houjin?
