Going to Seoul for the New Year is undoubtedly a very radical idea, and the generals present are basically not so optimistic.
Of course, Zhu Jinghong was just joking, and he didn't think progress would be so fast.
"When we attack tomorrow, you must follow the plan and execute it resolutely. Tell the sergeants below that I will take command from the battlefield, and rewards and punishments will be clear."
At this point, Zhu Jinghong suppressed his smile. He said with a solemn expression, "Those who have meritorious service will be promoted and make a fortune, those who die in battle will receive generous benefits, and those who retreat in the face of battle will be severely punished."
"I understand."
Cai Chuansheng, the highest ranking official present, only listened to He was the first to stand up and responded, "I understand,"
"Yes." Zhu Jinghong glanced at the others.
The rest of the military attachés stood up one after another, bowed and said, "I understand, I understand."
The military meeting ended, and then everyone returned to the military camp.
As soon as he returned to his residence, Yu Hai greeted him and handed him an envelope.
In Zhu Jinghong's opinion, if nothing happens tomorrow, there is a 70% certainty that we can cross the river, occupy the beachhead and cross the river with a large army.
"Send a message to Chen Yuntai and ask him to work with Nansi to contact more loyal people in North Korea and guide them to abandon the dark side and join the Ming Dynasty."
This time, the Ming army took control of the suppression of the rebellion. Strategically taking the initiative, you can choose any place to land and conduct operations. North Korea's passive defense can easily be frustrated.
This time, in addition to the guards, only a few staff officers followed, and Cai Chuansheng and other generals went to the front line to command.
The battle is going on in the frontal battlefield, and the underground spy battle is actually going on all the time.
At dawn, Zhu Jinghong arrived at the high ground behind the military formation. It was only two hundred meters away from the front line position on the shore, and he could clearly observe the situation on his own side and on the opposite side.
"Hold on, hold on, whoever dares to move, I'll chop his head off." The suppressing officer led his guards and whipped the soldiers along the way.
Although it was a feint attack, only Zhu Jinghong and Cai Chuansheng knew about it, so it was a feasible plan.
Because everything had been prepared in advance, their most important task in the morning was to lift the boat crossing the river to the shore.
At this most critical beachhead location, the Ming army has been strictly controlling the area within ten miles, so it is difficult for North Korea to send spies across the river to investigate.
The newly replaced artillery has a starting range of five to six hundred meters, which can already threaten the command center on the opposite side.
There was no way, he defended under artillery fire, and casualties were inevitable.
Although it was covered by night, the movements of the Ming army were still noticed by the sentries on the other side, so they immediately reported the situation.
Zhu Jinghong would receive reports from Nan Si every one or two days, and he was no longer surprised by this.
In addition to this incident, the letter also talked about the new situation in Seoul. Chen Taimin, the political leader, was eventually sentenced to exile under the co-protection of the Manchu Dynasty.
Human heads are military merit, military merit is money and status, and now theyJust need to harvest.
After giving these instructions, Zhu Jinghong sat back on his chair and looked over tomorrow's battle plan again.
"Where are the people?"
The soldiers on the front line all pushed the boats into the water. They only needed to row about a hundred meters to reach the other side to fight the enemy.
And the most elite artillery of the Ming army, which can shoot up to eight or nine hundred meters, is now only equipped to the guards.
These frontline soldiers were all issued with the latest armor. Seeing that less than 30% of the enemy troops on the opposite side were wearing armor, these selected warriors were eager to try.
"Yes"
In addition, artillery will be deployed on both sides of the Chinese army, and it is also busy here.
The night passed quickly, and before dawn, the Ming army soldiers had already begun to take action.
The military formations lined up on the opposite side, under the cover of artillery fire, soon suffered casualties, even though they had taken precautions.
Of course, based on the current level of the Ming army, it is actually enough.
Today's Ming army's lineup is much more ambitious than in the past few days. No matter how stupid the Koreans are, they know the danger, but they discovered it later.
The sound of war drums was beating, and military orders were passed down one level at a time. The soldiers rowed the oars vigorously, and flew forward like sharp arrows.
At the same time, the artillery on both sides of the Chinese army began to fire, and the scene was filled with smoke for a while.
"Your Majesty, it was sent by the Korean Guards"
For example, after the first round of salvos, the North Korean army on the other side only suffered 70 or 80 casualties, but its military formation was actually unstable. signs.
The general in charge of the defense on the other side was not sure whether the Ming army was feinting or bluffing as before, but he still ordered the garrison on the shore to be on strict alert.
In addition, there is another sad situation. The North Korean Jinyiwei suffered heavy losses. Of course, this is also their own fault. They did not try their best to hide themselves during the war between the two countries.
"Attack" Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
"Whether it succeeds or not, it can attract North Korean firepower and reduce the pressure on Anzhou."
Vice versa, the Ming army cannot cross the river for reconnaissance, and both sides can only Observe the situation visually during the day.
Opening the envelope, it tells the latest situation in North Korea, focusing on the landing of Japanese troops, about 30,000 infantry.
Obviously the Ming army is going to attack, and the only thing North Korea can do now is to mobilize nearby troops for reinforcements as soon as possible.
The difference between artillery and muskets and guns is that if hit by it, it will be shattered into pieces, and its impact on morale will be greater than the damage.
The Ming army’s artillery has a worst-case range of 300 meters. Simply put, it can cover the other side of the river for more than 100 meters.
Yu Hai replied, "He was discovered by the patrol sergeant on the other side. He finally escaped and was seriously injured and is being treated."
"Prepare to fire arrows."
"Prepare "Fire"
WatchAs the Ming army approached the ships, the officers of the Korean army began to order their men to prepare to meet the enemy.
But at the next moment, they ushered in the second round of shelling by the Ming army, so the most important task of the North Korean army became to stabilize military morale.
This is the advantage of having a strong national power. You can use the advantages of weapons to attack and create advantages for your own side as much as possible.
Looking at North Korea, they also have more than a dozen coastal defense guns, but their loading speed and firepower density are worlds apart from the Ming army.
As a result, their two salvoes failed to achieve any success and only overturned a small boat crossing the river.
There are more than fifty ferries along the entire river, and there are thirty soldiers on each boat.
"Your Highness, our men are about to land, and the artillery should be ordered to stop firing."
In Zhu Jinghong's headquarters, a staff officer promptly reminded him.
Zhu Jinghong nodded and said, "Give me the order."
The tasks of the staff are clearly divided, and Zhu Jinghong will be reminded of decisions at the appropriate time, effectively reducing the coach's workload and fatigue. .
These staff officers are deputy Qianhu selected from various guards. All of them are capable people. Those who are just trying to make up for their mistakes will not be able to survive around Zhu Jinghong.
After this period of hard work, we have reached the current level, and Zhu Jinghong has contributed a lot to this.
After the cannons stopped, the first batch of landing ships docked in less than a minute, and then they were greeted by a rain of swords and fire cannons.
Although they were protected by fine armor and large shields, more than a dozen soldiers were killed on the spot, while the remaining soldiers who landed one after another rushed forward desperately with swords and guns.
Only by rushing forward and scattering the enemy troops in front can they have a chance to win.
There were more than 1,500 Ming troops who landed, while the North Korean defenders only had more than 4,000 troops. It was not easy to disperse them.
Although they rushed forward desperately, the Ming army still maintained their basic formation. This was a tacit understanding developed through years of training.
Since the distance between the two sides was only fifty meters, North Korea immediately gave up its muskets and bows and arrows after a round of volleys, and was ready for a hand-to-hand encounter.
At this time, the second batch of Ming troops were still boarding the ship. In order to gain the advantage as much as possible, the North Korean army had to push back the Ming troops crossing the river as soon as possible.
So on the battlefield, both sides were advancing forward, and soon they were fighting fiercely.
Compared with the second batch of Ming troops crossing the river, the reinforcements from the other side arrived faster.
Zhu Jinghong, who was deep in the highlands, saw a large number of troops rushing to help in the mountains and fields in the distance, and his equipment turned out to be a group of civilians.
This made him relieved that the situation was still under control.
Zhu Jinghong ordered, "Send the order to the artillery troops to push forward as far as they can, and attack the enemy troops who are coming for reinforcements."
Do not shoot directly at the battle. on site, but reinforcements can be sent further away,This way you won't accidentally hurt yourself.
Moreover, the most violent bombardment should be carried out as soon as the reinforcements come into range.
In Zhu Jinghong's view, the reinforcements were ordinary civilians, and they might be defeated directly after a few rounds of shelling.
After the military order was conveyed, the artillerymen on the river bank took action one after another, pushing or lifting the artillery positions. The most recent ones even placed the artillery on the pebbles by the water.
Due to the rigorous training and Zhu Jinghong's strict military management, it took less than five minutes to move the artillery positions. At that time, the enemy's reinforcements were less than two miles away.
Seeing that the reinforcements were about to enter the firing range, the soldiers in charge of the artillery quickly started loading and waited for the opportunity to fire.
However, because they are too far apart, it is impossible to know the precise distance, so exploratory shelling can only be carried out.
First, a guided cannon is fired, which is equivalent to a reference round, used to estimate the shooting angle for the running group.
"Your Majesty, you can't see the impact point, and neither can the enemy."
Zhu Jinghong had been looking through the binoculars, and now he heard him say with a smile, "You can't see the impact point." , there is a depression where the enemy has entered, and our army can fire with all its strength from this angle."
He can see the situation most clearly from here, so the command post is arranged here.
As Zhu Jinghong's order was issued, the artillerymen below let go of their hands and feet and launched a salvo.
After a salvo, only half of the shells could see the point of impact, causing damage to the young man rushing down the slope.
But the remaining half, as Zhu Jinghong expected, crossed the high slope on the shore and fell to the slope of the depression, causing greater damage to the young North Koreans who climbed up.
However, as North Korea reacted, more reinforcements arrived in the distance and on the north and south shores, but it took time for them to arrive.
After the round of volleys, the first batch of young Koreans who came for reinforcements, 2,000 of them died or fled, more than 1,500 of them, and only about 500 of them rushed into the battle formation. .
Because there were no invincible troops within the firing range, the Ming army's artillery group stopped firing again. The soldiers cleaned the artillery as quickly as possible and performed simple maintenance.
Of course, at this time, the first batch of reinforcements, a thousand Ming soldiers, also successfully crossed the river and joined the fierce battle.
Observing the situation carefully, everything is still under control. In Zhu Jinghong's opinion, this river crossing landing battle can basically be won.
Even if he was sure, he was not careless at this time, but continued to closely observe the situation on the front line.
The relevant staff officers reported various news and intelligence to him and marked them on the map.
While listening, Zhu Jinghong continued to use the telescope to observe everything on the front line.
As he was patrolling back and forth, he suddenly discovered something special. When he returned, he saw that it was the enemy's coach's flag.
AsIn order to prevent being beheaded by the enemy, Zhu Jinghong, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army, tried his best not to fly flags. For example, his location today is a very simple high ground, camouflaged by trees and weeds.
“Command the artillerymen to adjust the big flag 150 feet northeast of the muzzle. That is where the enemy’s commander is, aim and hit me with the long-range cannon.”
” "Yes"
At a distance of four to five hundred meters, it is basically impossible to succeed with current artillery for decapitation shooting.
But even if it cannot be shot, it is necessary to have a deterrent effect on them and disturb their military morale.
"Is my micro-management going too far?" Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but think at this time.
The artillery started roaring again, and just as Zhu Jinghong said, the enemy's handsome chess flag on the opposite side began to move, but not backward but forward.
“It’s quite courageous,” Zhu Jinghong praised.
At a further distance, there are still a large number of enemy reinforcements coming, these are soldiers and young men from other defense areas.
Because North Korea has no strategic initiative, it needs to defend everywhere. Therefore, even if they have a military advantage, they are still at a major disadvantage in some areas.
For example, on the beachhead at this time, with the addition of new Ming troops and the formation of the Fire Guns and the start of the attack, the morale of the North Korean army was already at a low ebb.
Even if the supervising team suppressed them, they could not control the morale of the troops at this time, and some soldiers had already begun to flee.
"Brothers, charge with me." Haizhou Guard commander Hu Yicheng took the lead in the charge.
He is indeed a great general, but he has reached the ceiling of his career. If he wants to move up, he must seize the opportunity. This peace war is his opportunity.
There are many middle-level generals who have the same idea as Hu Yicheng. Almost all of these people have come to the front line of the battle, hoping to seize military glory and build a bright future for themselves.
Nearly half an hour has passed since the fighting continued, and the North Korean army has reached the brink of collapse.
With Hu Yicheng leading the charge, the North Korean army resisting the front began to collapse, and then quickly caused a chain reaction in the military formation.
These armies fled, and even the supervising team was killed. No one could stop them.
The Ming army was pursuing them, but they were all fighting steadily. They only caught up to the beachhead high ground and then stopped, and continued to build a defense system as quickly as possible.
The most important task of these two thousand people is not to expand the results of the battle, but to hold this beachhead and allow the subsequent army to complete the crossing.
In the command post, after the military order was issued as planned, Zhu Jinghong secretly thought, "Maybe I really am the God of War."
In this login battle, under the coordination of infantry and artillery, It was a beautiful fight and there was no doubt that the victory was achieved.
What he feared most at this time was that North Korea would mobilize a large army to attack and push back the Ming army stationed there.
This is not unfounded worry, but reinforcements from North Korea are constantly coming.The fresh force of Batch had a very large strength advantage in the face of the exhausted Ming army.
What’s even worse is that because the Ming army’s position has moved forward, the artillery can no longer be used, and they have lost their biggest support in this battle.
So, the most important thing right now is time, so the Ming army is crossing the river as quickly as possible.
The importance of the plan is reflected here. Ropes have been pulled on both sides of the river to allow ships to cross the river more quickly.
There are about a hundred ships of all sizes that have been recruited, and they are traveling back and forth on the river at this moment. Although the scene is a bit chaotic, it is generally orderly.
This is a great test of organizational ability, and the plan that Zhu Jinghong attaches most importance to, the execution of his subordinates, and the strictest discipline play a crucial role here.
In this battle, it can be said that the Ming army crushed the North Korean side in all aspects in terms of weapons, individual soldier quality, command coordination, etc.
Victory is a matter of course, but the failure of the North Korean army, which has been in peace for many years, is expected.
As more and more Ming troops crossed the river, the North Korean generals who concentrated their forces realized that it was very risky to push back.
At this time, he had two choices. One was to risk driving the Ming army down the river, but to lead his troops to quickly withdraw into Yizhou and defend it.
The choice is not simple. There is sufficient food and grass in Yizhou City, so it is extremely simple to defend strictly.
The North Korean generals issued an order to "withdraw".
Not only must we withdraw, but we must withdraw as soon as possible to prevent being entangled by the Ming army.
