"The minister is here." A young general immediately stepped forward.

"Have you figured out the way I asked you to solve the large-scale landing tactics?" Zhu Youjian asked Gan Hui, staring at him.

"If you go back to the emperor, I now have a way to register [-] troops and supplies at the same time in one day." Gan Hui was a little cautious. He felt that the answer might not be satisfactory to the emperor, but this is the limit of current technical strength .

"Then if it's the other way around, how many people can you take away?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"Does the emperor mean that there are only people and no supplies?" Gan Hui asked.

"Yes." Zhu Youjian answered affirmatively.

"For 2 passengers, thousands of ships are needed." Gan Hui said, "It is mainly due to the limitation of ships."

"Is there no limit at the pier?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"I can build a simple pier that can accommodate [-] ships at the same time within two days." Gan Hui said confidently.

"Then did you bring all your things?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"It has stopped not far away." Gan Hui replied.

"Well, send troops to attack immediately and take down the pier before dark. In addition, I will see the pier you mentioned tomorrow morning." Zhu Youjian said.

"Ah?!" Gan Hui was stunned, he didn't expect the task to come so soon.

The semaphore on the battlefield was hung, and several troop carriers from the far sea immediately drove over.Immediately afterwards, a regiment of the East China Sea Navy launched a landing operation.

"Boom!" With the sound of a cannon, the coastal defense artillery placed on the shore by Jin Bing fired first.The Ming army had some scruples and dared not fire, but the Ergouzi soldiers were not polite, they showed no mercy.The only consolation is that the cannons of these puppet troops are not too powerful, and they don't have too many cannons.

"Your Majesty, if we don't open up a place for our army to land, we will lose our footing," Zheng Chenggong persuaded.

"Then fire the cannon! The enemy's cannon was fired." Zhu Youjian admitted that what Zheng Chenggong said was right. If his side really relied on human lives to fight, it would be too passive. This is a landing operation, and the enemy has long-range weapons. , I will die in vain.

"Boom boom boom..." When the naval guns of the Ming army fired in a row, the puppet artillery positions on the shore exploded, and countless figures were running, who could stay.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the landing operation went smoothly.In addition, the Tianjin Port Wharf at the mouth of the Shanghai River has many facilities, and the puppet army could not use too many people as cover at all, and quickly retreated.

Two hours later, the small port was completely controlled by the Ming army, and the warships also lay across the Haihe River.

"Such a small port?!" Zhu Youjian looked at the so-called Jinmen Seaport, feeling extremely disappointed.Fortunately, he didn't expect to rely on this port to complete the task from the beginning, otherwise he would have to die desperately.

In the Tianjin Port of the Ming Dynasty, at most [-] small boats can be parked, and they are the kind that ride on each other.If all the dozen or so warships of the Ming army were brought close, the port would be blocked.

"It's too small. The grain in the capital has always been transported by water, and Tongzhou Wharf is much larger than this." Li Yan said.

"It's not bad that this pier can drive 200 boats a day. Each boat can transport 6000 people, and the capacity can be up to 20 to [-] people a day. Five to sixty thousand people in ten days. If Hong Chengchou drives [-] people to us, it will take us a month and a half." Toss." Zheng Chenggong said with a smile.

Zhu Youjian made up his mind, 20 people, I am afraid that the passenger flow of a Guangzhou Railway Station in a day during the Spring Festival travel in future generations will be more than that.

"One and a half months? I'm afraid everyone will starve to death. I can't wait. We only have ten days. Within ten days, we must join Liu Tichun and the others, and we must evacuate the people who pushed Hong Chengchou to us. Let's see Gan Hui tonight." It's gone." Zhu Youjian looked up at the sky, and the sun had not yet set on the western horizon.

"Your Majesty, Gan Hui's fleet is here." Zheng Chenggong pointed with his finger, and the golden sun just shone on a white sail, and the sails covered the sky and covered the sky.

"Oh my god! How come the Southern Barbarians have so many ships?" Ma Degong, who was hiding on the salt flats and watching the sea, was shocked and incoherent. In his knowledge, there were only overwhelming cavalry, and he had never had an overwhelming fleet. .

"General, hurry up and tell the commander, there must be a reward." The men around Ma Degong were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they wanted to find an excuse to leave here.

"You are stupid! If the commander-in-chief knows that we have lost the dock, he will definitely find a scapegoat." Ma Degong thought differently. He had already seen the strength of the Ming army, and he already felt that this battle might not be won.

"Then what should we do?" the subordinate asked.

"We'll talk about it after tonight." Ma Degong just wanted to procrastinate, but it was only for one night anyway.

Throughout the whole night, braziers were everywhere in the port, and the docks were brightly lit.If it weren't for being unable to get close, Ma Degong really wanted to see for himself what these Ming soldiers were doing.All he could see were figures and figures, as if there were thousands of troops and horses running.

Gan Hui and his subordinates are nervously erecting the floating pier. They have only built it experimentally before, but this time, Gan Hui has blown the cowhide.

Numerous standardized closed wooden barrels were pushed into the sea by iron chains, and then connected with horizontal iron chain hooks, and finally laid with beams and wooden boards, and then set up planks.

All of this would be unimaginable if relying on manual workshops.It is impossible to achieve such unity.The standardized accessories are combined to complete each standard floating bucket, which is the strength only in the industrialized era.If the current Daming is stronger than Hong Chengchou by any means, it must not be a strategy. Zhu Youjian and Li Yanjia can't beat Hong Chengchou even if they play tricks together.

Daming's shipyard in Taiwan has not yet built large-scale large-scale ships, but the stockpiling of timber has already begun.The forestry resources of Taiwan Island provided sufficient raw materials for the whole plan, and the specific quantity may only be known to the cabinet in Nanjing.

"Can this bridge stop the fleet?" In the middle of the night, Zhu Youjian looked at the swaying floating trestle, feeling very unreliable.

"No problem, there will be small boats anchored by iron anchors around, and the trestle will not drift with the waves." Gan Hui replied loudly.

It was getting cold, Ma Degong opened his eyes and took a look at the sea, then he rubbed his eyes, he thought he might have made a mistake, but the surrounding environment remained the same, it became just the sea outside the port.

More than a dozen new trestle bridges are lined up, stretching long into the distance, so far that only black lines can be seen.

Ma Degong looked further away, and saw a large piece of gray sails floating far away like a cloud. He was sure that it was a fleet rather than a white cloud.Ma Degong made up his mind that he didn't want to see Hong Chengchou anymore.

What Ma Degong didn't know was that Gan Hui was being trained early in the morning because he had not completed the task assigned by Zhu Youjian.To be more specific, Gan Hui worked all night and only completed one-third of the task.

"I know it's just bragging, but you're showing some face to Mr. Donghai?" Zheng Chenggong trained Gan Hui hard, but he still wanted to protect the calf in front of Zhu Youjian.

"Okay, okay, you can continue if you haven't finished it! I'm so relieved." Zhu Youjian looked at the trestle bridge, still very happy in his heart.

"Feng Xin, let your marine division wait for the shore to attack. In addition, send an order to Hao Yaoqi, and he can also attack there. The Shanhaiguan must be ruthless. If there are no people to restrain you, don't take prisoners." Zhu Youjian ordered road.

Chapter 521: Advantages and Disadvantages of Prairie Tribes

Why Xifengkou again?

Because Xifengkou is easier to fight than Shanhaiguan, whether it is Huangtaiji or the devils 300 years later, they all choose to enter the customs from here.As a result, the Broadsword Team of the 29th Army became famous all over the world, and "March of the Broadsword" became famous at home and abroad.

There was no need for the Eighth Army to attack with swords. They attacked the defenders at Xifengkou with the mortars that had already shined in the Battle of Liaodong.

In this offensive and defensive battle, the Ming army's equipment advantages began to be displayed earlier, like the resumption of the Westerners' war against the Qing soldiers after more than 200 years in official history.

The first is the advantage of artillery.The puppet army's iron cannons at Xifengkou barely fired a few shots, and the shells could not hurt the Ming army at all, and then they were overturned by the Ming army's cannons by name.

When the enemy's long-range weapons were cleared, the infantry rushed straight up with bayonets in hand.When you encounter a group of enemies, or a difficult defensive point, you can throw mortars and grenades to harvest.

Obviously, the opponents haven't adapted to this fighting style. They haven't learned to hide their firepower at all, and their defense is just blindly relying on numbers.

Tactical backwardness is more deadly than weapon backwardness, just like the Inca Empire facing the Spanish colonists, no matter how many people charge, it is useless.

"This battle is getting more and more boring." Hao Yaoqi looked at the battlefield a few miles away from a distance, without any feeling of excitement.

"It used to take at least two regiments to attack such a pass, but now we only sent out one battalion and took it." The chief of staff responded to Hao Yaoqi's words.

"In the final analysis, it is because the enemy stays where it is and does not move, just like we shoot birds with flintlock guns. If the bird stands still, if I can't kill it with one shot, I will shoot a few more shots, and it will always kill it.

But the bird will not stand still for us to shoot, it will definitely fly when it hears the gunshot.No one knows how to learn such a simple truth, and deserves to be beaten.

In the same way, it is very easy for our army to attack this kind of pass now, but several months have passed, and we have nothing to do with Horqin's cavalry.Instead, I think it's more interesting to fight Horqin cavalry. "Hao Yaoqi said.
