- Chapter 484 The war begins (second update)
On March 27th of the third year of Chongzhen, although the weather in Liaodong began to get warmer, it was still very cold, and the snow in many places had not yet melted. However, the ice on the river has begun to loosen, and it is impossible to pass the army on the river. It was at this time that Ming Dynasty first launched an attack on Yizhou on the south bank of the Daling River.
Sun Chengzong personally led an army of 250,000 to surround Yizhou. To be honest, Sun Chengzong had very high expectations for this battle.
Taiwan¡¯s strength was beyond his expectation. In the past three months, Sun Chengzong has read all the information collected about Taiwan.
In two years, all the pirates around Dongfan Island, which was still called Dongfan Island at that time, were wiped out and the entire island was occupied.
Five years later, they defeated the Francois, occupied Luzon, and immigrated millions of people to Luzon.
Then, two years later, Hongyi defeated Hongyi's huge fleet of more than 400 warships in a frightening naval battle, and the tonnage of the warships on both sides was not that of the Ming Dynasty's current naval warships. can be compared.
Sun Chengzong specifically consulted many Fujian navy generals for this purpose. If 400 Hongyi warships came to the Ming Dynasty, whether the Ming navy would be able to defeat them, or what price it would have to pay to drive them away.
But the answer he got made Sun Chengzong's heart completely fall into the ice cave. Yu Zizhen of the Fujian Navy smiled bitterly and told Sun Chengzong that facing twenty Hongyi warships, the Fujian Navy needed to go all out. Fifty red barbarian warships, even the entire Ming Dynasty navy may not be able to defeat them and can only drive them away.
If the number of Hongyi warships exceeds one hundred warships, then the Ming Navy will have no ability to resist. Four hundred Hongyi warships will completely blockade the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.
This conclusion made Sun Chengzong feel extremely cold. In other words, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to rely on its navy to occupy Taiwan. Instead, Taiwan can rely on their navy to occupy any coastal city of the Ming Dynasty.
¡°Moreover, Shen Yourong¡¯s travel notes on various places in Taiwan were also spread to the Ming Dynasty. Although officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited the circulation of this book, many people in the southeast still secretly collected this book.
?According to the introduction of this book, Sun Chengzong had a very deep understanding of Taiwan's strength. Although it did not introduce the actual strength of Taiwan's army, it was very shocked that Taiwan has popularized muskets and various sophisticated weapons among people everywhere.
What does this mean? It shows that Taiwan can equip millions of troops in a short period of time, with combat power comparable to that of Ming Dynasty¡¯s elite army.
Therefore, annihilating the Liaodong army was Sun Chengzong¡¯s greatest hope in extending Taiwan to the Ming Dynasty. As long as these more than 200,000 troops are annihilated, no matter how strong Taiwan is, it will still be unable to use troops against the Ming Dynasty for several years to buy some time for the Ming Dynasty.
Although Shen Yourong once described the combat effectiveness of the Taiwanese army stationed in India, firstly, Sun Chengzong did not know the combat effectiveness of the Indian army. Secondly, Shen Yourong did not describe the Type 25 rifle in detail. Therefore, Sun Chengzong had no understanding of the combat power of Taiwan's military.
If Huang Taiji could provide the information about the musket, Sun Chengzong might think otherwise, but now, Sun Chengzong only has one idea, which is to destroy the more than 200,000 Taiwanese troops entering Liaodong.
Looking at the Taiwanese troops who were waiting in full formation on Yizhou City, Sun Chengzong frowned involuntarily. Because according to intelligence, as many as 30,000 Taiwanese troops entered Yizhou a few days ago. All the six thousand Taiwanese cavalry originally stationed in Yizhou disappeared.
Are the Taiwanese really so confident that 30,000 troops can defend Yizhou? Where were the six thousand cavalry? Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong felt dizzy.
"Why hasn't Jiannu arrived yet?" Sun Chengzong asked Zu Dashou.
"Master Supervisor, Amin has led an army of 80,000 people and is expected to arrive in Yizhou tonight." Zu Dashou said in a low voice.
It is really a twist of fate that the two sides, who were originally enemies, were able to join forces to attack a city. This made Sun Chengzong and others feel very strange.
"Fuyu, why do you think Jiannu behaved like this?" Sun Chengzong asked in a low voice.
"Master Supervisor, I don't know what Jian Nu thinks. Maybe they were scared out of their wits by Taiwan's army." Zu Dashou lowered his head and said with an eyebrow.
Terrified? Haha, Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly. He suddenly discovered that among the many generals in Liaodong, except for Yang Guo, there was no one who was responsible.
But Yang Guo, thinking about Yang Guo and Sun Chengzong, made him irritable. Sun Chengzong was really disappointed with Yang Guo. Harm others behind their backsReputation involves character. For a person with bad character, no matter how talented he is, it will not be enough.
Therefore, although Sun Chengzong severely injured Yang Guo and had to stay at Shanhaiguan, it was Sun Chengzong who did it out of temporary anger, but Sun Chengzong did not feel that he was at fault.
There are already enough villains in the Ming Dynasty. Even if Yang Guo is killed, it will only reduce the future harm to the Ming Dynasty.
"Sir, do you want to attack the city now?" Zu Dashou asked.
"No, there is no rush now. Since it is a multi-party alliance, we cannot let Ming Dynasty attack the city alone. We should wait until the army of Jiannu arrives." Sun Chengzong said lightly.
Although it is a multi-party alliance, the relationship between the various parties is basically intrigue. If Liaodong is really captured, then it is not known what will happen between the various forces. Sun Chengzong has to think more about what will happen after this battle. .
Looking at the back of Sun Chengzong leaving, Zu Dashou was speechless for a while. Under such circumstances, they were still scheming against each other. He really thought that the Taiwanese army was made up of mud.
Zu Dashou has also heard about the combat power and fighting methods of the Taiwanese army. Although it was not very detailed, he had a very clear understanding of Hou Jin's combat power. The 70,000-strong army was swept across Taiwan's 60,000-70,000-strong army.
With this kind of result, even an idiot will know how powerful the other party is. In comparison, the Ming army had almost no chance of winning when facing the Hou Jin army. Therefore, like Yang Guo, Zu Dashou did not think there was much chance of winning this battle.
The only difference is that Yang Guo wanted to avoid participating in this war, so he deliberately said that paragraph knowing that Sun Chengzong had misunderstood him. Zu Dashou, on the other hand, never had any intention of disobeying his superiors, especially after Yang Guo was beaten with a sixty-meter stick.
