The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 100
The protruding corner of Jinzhou on the left side of the Liao Dynasty is solidly defended by virtue of its geographical advantage. At the same time, because of its terrain, Fuzhou is a lock for Jinzhou.

Fuzhou has [-] soldiers, enough to supervise Jinzhou and fight against Jinzhou soldiers.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Gaizhou Guard, which is four or five hundred miles away in the north of Fuzhou, did not have too many precautions. Instead, it dispatched one to go north with the old slave, leaving only [-] soldiers.

If there is trouble in Jinzhou, Gaizhou Wei will receive an alert from Fuzhou, but Fuzhou has not summoned.

Even so, the city of Gaizhou is also well-defended, but there are not many guards in the city.

"The general's army started from Yingkou, and the heavy troops went straight to Haizhou, and some ships were sent up the Sancha River, so as to guard against the old slaves.

With a two-pronged approach, Haizhou can be obtained. "

After hearing Liu Tong's plan, Tang Qing'an pondered for a moment. His original plan was to take Gaizhou, and then raid Haizhou, cut off the old slave's logistics, and force him to retreat.

"How many people are there in Haizhou?"

Liu Tong shook his head.

"Haizhou is two hundred miles away from me. I can't find out, but Fuzhou and Haizhou are one north and one south, guarding the logistics of the old slave army, and Gaizhou has only 2000 people. Although Haizhou is a heavy city, it will not Much more than that."

Tang Qing'an didn't doubt Liu Tong's strategy. This time the [-] troops crossed the sea and attacked, who could be prepared.

This is the convenience of the general trend.

The only thing to worry about now is how many soldiers there are in Haizhou, including how many barbarian soldiers and how many Han soldiers.

And how much combat power can the [-] army have, and can they capture Haizhou City before the barbarian reinforcements return.

Tang Qing'an recruited the generals and forwards, and asked everyone if they were confident.

After receiving everyone's reply, Tang Qing'an gave an order, and [-] Jinzhou soldiers stepped onto the battlefield.

The Liaohe River is wide in some places and narrow in others. It is impossible to go up by boat without being discovered.

So the destination was Yingkou.

……

"Hey, look, there are dark clouds on the sea."

The barbarian camp in Yingkou, Liaohekou, has become the rear area following the fall of the forts in Beizhen. The front line is two to three hundred miles away from here, so only a hundred or so people are left behind for vigilance.

Someone noticed that the sea was pitch-black, but above their heads, there was a scorching sun, and they made a surprised sound.

"The weather is weird."

A few people were chatting, their faces gradually became stiff, and their mouths were tongue-tied in disbelief.

The dark cloud came from the sea, and when it approached the coast, there were densely packed ships in sight.

Drums were sounded in the camp, people put on armor, closed the camp gate, and sent cavalry to ask for help.

The boat stopped.

and in a row.

"Boom."

Countless flames shone through the folds of the sea surface and fell into the red-yellow sea of ​​flames.

Dozens of Francophones and rockets of various colors landed in the camp, and the Yingkou camp was reduced to ruins in just four or five rounds.

Many people disappeared into the dense cannons of warships before they could make a sound.

The small boat slid past the big ship, jumped up from the sea like seabirds, and countless soldiers crossed the river and landed.

Huayan walked to the shore from the waist-high sea water, looked at the dozens of veterans beside him, and asked someone to blow the horn.

The first vanguard went on the offensive.

"Woooooo~"

More and more horns sounded, and more and more flags on the beach flocked to the quiet camp in Yingkou.

When Tang Qing'an disembarked under the guard of the generals, the Haikou camp had already been captured by Zhou Bing.

"Count the number of people in each department, prepare your troops and prepare your troops. Deng Xing, Yang Qing, Li Bosheng, and Li Qi should not delay and set off immediately.

In an hour or so, Zhao and Xu had to finish transporting the equipment from the ship, and the whole army set out, ordering Peng Dahai to stick to the battalion. "

fast.

To be successful you need to be fast.

Capture Haizhou before the old slave's reinforcements return.

However, it takes a lot of time for 2 people to go from the boat to the shore, and the utensils and horses must be pulled off the boat.

Tang Qing'an personally went to the shore to supervise, but he couldn't improve.

With the sound of people on the shore, the horses panicked and became more and more chaotic.

The vanguard's ministries have already set off, but the supplies on the fleet have not been shipped out. After all, there is a lack of training and they cannot quickly complete their goals.

It has been half a day since the army was dispatched again.

It took less than half an hour to lay down the camp at Yingkou, and it took half a day for the army to start, no one thought.

Seeing Zhou Bing appearing suddenly, the guard at Liangfangkou Pass never expected.

Where did all these people come from? Why didn't I receive any warnings? There were only 50 people at Liangfangkou.

As the old slave army besieged Beizhen, there were no worries everywhere in the rear, and the garrison soldiers were transferred to the north. After the old slave captured Beizhen, he took advantage of the situation to break into the Liaoxi Corridor. Maybe he had a chance to take Shanhaiguan in one go.

If Shanhaiguan can be captured, the barbarian's national power will be as stable as a mountain, and the attack and defense of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be within the barbarian's thought.

Huayan had already won the first prize, and the rest of the vanguards, 5000 people from each department, went straight to Liangfangkou in order to fight for the glory.

How could the dozens of people at the Liangfang Pass be able to defend it, but the guards here are brutal generals, and they fought to the last one.

This time without the cannons of the warships showing their power, the damage of the Zhou army was even greater than the capture of the Liaohekou camp.

Then there is Yaozhou Station, which is only 120 miles away from Haizhou City, and there are as many as 300 defenders, but most of them are Han soldiers.

The level of resistance was far less than that of Liangfangkou Pass, which had only fifty people, and they surrendered easily.

After everyone discussed, they sent knights to inform the Chinese army, and before waiting for a reply, they hurriedly marched to Haizhou City. After marching all day and night, they could rush to Haizhou.

According to the general who surrendered, there were only 2000 defenders in Haizhou.

Lao Khan ordered that the various ministries in the rear send troops northward, with a total of more than [-] people. Haizhou originally had [-] defenders, but [-] were transferred away.

However, Liaoyang will increase its troops to Haizhou. It is not clear how many people will arrive and when they will arrive.

Tang Qing'an received the military report from the former army and sent it to Yan Zhengzhong.

Yan Zhengzheng dispatched ships into the Daliao River, received an urgent report from the general, read it, and told the messenger to go back and tell the general that he promised to complete the task.

Haizhou is an important town.

The four major guards in the west of Liaozuo, the city is tall, and the geographical advantage is not as good as Jinzhou, but it has the title of the first city from the east of Huaihai.

The population of the whole city is now more than [-], and the rest have been recruited as civilian husbands to deliver supplies for the barbarian army.

Huayan and others will go around the Haicheng River, from Tashan to Haicheng, exceeding the original plan, and arrived on the third day. They have just explored the terrain and occupied the high ground.

The next day, Tang Qing'an's army unexpectedly arrived.

Entering the Daliao River from the sea, and flowing into the Haicheng River along its branches, Tang Qing'an's army crossed the river and went straight, only one day slower than the forward.

The river course is not comparable to the sea, the big ships stop at the mouth of the sea, and the small boats transport the soldiers on the Haicheng River, and they also bring Francine.

The south of Haizhou City is the river, so it doesn't take much effort to carry the artillery.

However, the small boat could not bear the recoil of the artillery and could only be transported to land.

The four gates of Haizhou are closed tightly, and the city is in full swing.

They had already received the military report and learned that a large army had broken into the country. They not only sent knights out to ask for help, but also organized the strong men in the city to send weapons to the city wall.

Although there are more and more Zhou troops outside the city, and the scale is estimated to be as high as [-], the defender is still confident in defending the city and holding on to reinforcements.

It's just that the barbarian couldn't figure out where so many Zhou troops came from. When he saw that Haicheng River captured the fleet at the dock, he had a vague guess in his heart.

Through the ship, he thought that this should be the Jinzhou general who had recently gained fame.

The shadow of the tree of names.

Since it was this person who came in person, he mustered up 12 points of energy to command the defense areas of various ministries and arrange the equipment for defending the city.

To the west of Haizhou is Baihu Mountain. In the Song Dynasty, the rebels defended the city against the Jin, and the Jin soldiers peeped at the city from this mountain.

Things are different now, and 400 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it has been replaced by Han people on the mountains and barbarians in the city.

A pavilion was also built in the mountain. In the pavilion, not only can you see the city wall of Haizhou, but looking back, there is also an abandoned mountain temple.

"Siege."

After the camps were set up, the army moved.

According to Jiang Bing's introduction, the bridge outside the gate tower of the north gate is called Jiazi Bridge. Only by taking this bridge can we get close to the city wall.

This bridge is facing the gate tower.

Zhou Jun held the shield, pushed the chariot, and carried the ladder, facing the bow and arrow on the city wall, rushing over like a tide.

The guards in the city knew that they didn't have many troops, so they didn't send troops out of the city to guard the bridge. Although they regretted the location, they knew how to be willing.

Just as the archers on the gate tower drew their bows and shot arrows, the Franji cannons at the rear of the Zhou army chose a high ground and lined up in a row to fire.

The smashed city walls were splashed with rocks, and the archers suffered heavy casualties.

Under the cover of artillery fire, Zhou Jun started climbing the wall with his equipment.

The four gates were attacking, Tang Qing'an unloaded all the Francine cannons from the ship, and focused their firepower on the west gate.

That's why he came to this mountain to supervise the battle in the rear.

It is really a good place to transport the Francine cannon easily. It is really not so easy if it is only transported by land.

Huayan is very fierce, and the troops he leads include many of his veterans. They are quite fierce and he is the first to climb the city wall.

Just as Tang Qing'an was excited, but was kicked out in the blink of an eye, Tang Qing'an didn't even have time to send a flag to ask for help.

Huayan gritted his teeth and organized his men to attack again.

Another one had already climbed up the city wall, and it turned out to be people from the Liao private camp. Several people were chopped into meat on the city wall and did not take a step back.

More and more soldiers from the Liao private camp climbed up the city wall, and they died if they climbed the city wall, and none of them retreated.

Zhao Gouyong and other generals were in the pavilion, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They are afraid of military spirit.

In war, siege is the most test of military morale.

Now it seems that the general's idea of ​​weeding out sergeants who have no fighting spirit and recruiting Liao people is indeed right.

Tang Qing'an could see clearly.

The Liao army swarmed up the city wall like ants and were wiped out one by one. They were all people who believed in themselves.

"Go and order the artillery, let them see how the robes on the city wall were sacrificed, and they must be worthy of these sacrificed robes."

"Boom."

Not long after, there was a loud thunderous sound in the Franji position, which was endless.

On the city wall, the barbarians in the rest of the way were dazed by the artillery bombardment, and the strong men who organized were frightened and foamed at the mouth.

The barbarian looked anxious, and was issuing orders to mobilize the teams according to the situation of the city wall sent by the soldiers, but under the artillery, the actions everywhere became slow.

A general climbed up the city wall himself and hacked a strong man to death, but a few barbarians came, and all the Zhou soldiers who supported him were hacked to death by the barbarians.

"Li Qi, don't panic, I'm coming." Another person climbed over the wall and killed him without even looking.
