Chapter 1431 Changing History

Objectively speaking, the military strength gap between Haihan and Hou Jin has not widened to the extent of having an absolute advantage. If the two sides engage in a thousand-man level battle on the plains, then the performance of the Hou Jin army will definitely not be so passive and embarrassing, at least

In terms of maneuverability, Haihan could steadily suppress the Haihan Army. However, in order to win this war, Haihan had been preparing for many years and made many targeted deployments. Only after everything was ready did they launch a surprise attack, and then the Jin Army

The hasty response to the battle without careful consideration meant that all the tactics were ineffective and he was suppressed to death during the battle.

Seeing that even after the large forces pressed forward, they were unable to break through the first layer of defense on the periphery, Erhe knew that he would definitely suffer today's loss. And the Houjin Army, which was already about to break through the last layer of window paper, was unable to break through the Haihan Special Battle.

With the arrival of battalion reinforcements, they finally realized that there was nothing they could do and could only try to escape from the battlefield to save their lives. However, during the retreat, they were chased and beaten by the Haihan Army, leaving nearly a hundred corpses behind.

Just left the battlefield.

Morgan did not order the troops to chase them out. He knew that the cavalry of the Hou Jin Army had not been wiped out. If the troops were allowed to leave the defense line too far, the risk would greatly increase. Besides, the main task of the Western Route Army now is to defend the coastal highlands.

, so the main force must never leave its position and attack at will.

Morgan immediately issued several orders, asking military doctors and medical soldiers to step up the treatment of their own wounded, asking engineers to repair and strengthen the fortifications of the villages at the foot of the mountain, and the logistics and military supplies department to calculate the results of the battle and ammunition consumption. After completing these arrangements,

, Morgan then met with the special operations battalion officer who had just brought troops to put out the fire.

"Special operations battalion second lieutenant platoon leader Sun Zhen led his troops to report!"

Morgan returned the military salute to the big man standing in front of him, and then asked: "Is it your boss's intention to come to join the battle just now, or is it your own decision?"

He had met Sun Zhen when he was on Zhifu Island and knew that this person was a member of the special operations battalion. His sniper team even trained with the company commanded by Sun Zhen for a period of time, so he didn't know that he was a general.

Outside the meeting, as for the boss he asked about, he naturally referred to Qian Tiandun, the commander of the Central Route Army and the immediate superior of the special operations battalion.

Sun Zhen responded: "It was my decision to report to the leader. However, I did not want to grab credit. I just saw that the enemy was about to break through the defense line. I was worried that the high ground would not be able to withstand the enemy's offensive, so I made the decision without permission. I hope the leader will not

Strange."

Morgan smiled and said: "The timing is very good. If you don't arrive in time, I'm afraid I'll have to suffer a little bit."

Sun Zhendao: "When I arrived with my troops, I had already sent someone to notify the headquarters. I think the Central Army will move closer here later."

Although Morgan agreed with Sun Zhen's approach, he still had mixed feelings in his heart. His plan before the war was to turn this stronghold into a flesh-and-blood millstone that could fully consume Hou Jin's troops. He chose the location.

, the tactics were also formulated by him, and other units of the navy and army also provided full cooperation, but the final battle process and results were not ideal. If reinforcements had not arrived in time, the position here would have even risked collapse. Although

In the previous battle, he had indeed caused a lot of damage to the enemy, but it was still far from what he had imagined.

Looking back on the battle process after today's landing, Morgan believes that the most important problem is time. From the landing of the Haihan Army, attacking the high ground, to the deployment of fortifications to face the counterattack of the Jin Army, the time spent preparing for the war was indeed

It was too hasty. If we could have an extra day and a half to build more complete defenses near the village, so that the defenders could have enough time to prepare for battle, then the Jin Army would be more likely to break through the defense line.

Small.

Of course, there is no regret in this world, and the outcome of the battle that has ended cannot be changed. All we can do now is sum up experience and lessons, and try our best to prepare for the next battle. But in this way, the performance of the West Route Army is not satisfactory.

If it is as expected, then the corresponding overall combat plan will have to make some adjustments, and we cannot simply rely on the West Route Army to attract Hou Jin's attack firepower.

But in fact, the opponent's condition was not much better. To be precise, it was even more miserable. Of the 3,000 troops Erhe brought out, only about half of them were left after the battle. The wounded who escaped were

Many soldiers lost the ability to continue fighting, and the dead who were left on the battlefield forever were at least nearly a thousand. The cavalry, a powerful force, also suffered heavy losses. Only one of the 500 cavalry sent at the beginning of the battle escaped.

With more than a hundred cavalry, such a loss rate is an unbearable result for any army.

If he wants to continue the offensive, Erhe knows that it will definitely not work with the current strength and morale. He must either mobilize more troops and try to make a comeback, or he must get his troops back on their feet as soon as possible. But no matter where it is,

There is a method that he thinks he has no way to complete at present. He knows that Haihan has a backup plan. As long as he increases his troops, the other side will also send more troops to join the war, and it is very likely that it will end up adding fuel to the fire.

, allowing the other party to consume him to death bit by bit.

Quite different from what he had thought when he set out, Erhe no longer had the confidence to capture this high ground. Moreover, he was worried not only about how to deal with the menacing Haihan army, but also about how to explain the result to his superiors at the rear.

.

Before winter last year, Haihan raided Liaodong and captured Lushun in one fell swoop. The news spread back to Shengjing, which was called Shenyang in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taiji of the Jin Kingdom, who had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, was very angry, but Lushun guard Jia

La'Ezhen Muteb had led his troops to death in the battle, and even if they wanted to punish him, they could not find anyone to take the blame. Moreover, they soon discovered that the Haihan people had no intention of leaving after they came this time. They actually stationed themselves in Lushun, and even more so after that.

Launched an offensive against the Jinzhou Isthmus, it was obvious that it was not satisfied with just occupying Lushunkou.

At this time, the focus of Hou Jin's foreign war was mainly on the Ming Dynasty and North Korea. However, the geographical location of the Liaodong Peninsula was critical, and Huang Taiji did not dare to let Haihan settle down here, so he asked the troops who were originally planning to lead troops to attack Pidao and North Korea.

Azige and Yanguli mobilized troops from Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Jinzhou and other places to go south to recover Lushun after the spring.

Azig was the twelfth son of Nurhachi. In the same year that he arrived in this time and space, Azig led his army to attack North Korea and conquered five cities. In the following years, Azig led his army to defeat the Ming Dynasty many times and established the

He had made many military exploits and was a troublesome figure for the Ming Dynasty's nine-border defenders.

It is worth mentioning that in the original history, it was Azig who led the army to capture Pidao and executed Shen Shikui, the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang River. His nephew Shen Zhixiang later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, belonged to the Zhengbai banner, and followed another Ming rebel. Kong Youde was sent south to Huguang. However, Shen's uncle and nephew now had Haihan as a big backer, so they naturally escaped the fate of being wiped out by Hou Jin.

Another general, Shumulu Yanguli, had an unusual identity. He was the son-in-law of Nurhachi. He participated in the campaigns against Huifa, Wula, Hada, Woji and other tribes. He later led his army to attack Shenyang and Liaoyang during the Ming Dynasty. , Tongzhou, Jizhou, Datong, Xuanfu and other places, he is also a general who is accustomed to charging into battle.

Huang Taiji originally wanted to arrange these two powerful generals to solve the hidden danger of North Korea. However, after the Liaodong incident, the top brass of the Jin Kingdom believed that Haihan, who had an unstable foothold, needed to be expelled from Lushun before he could safely mobilize troops to attack North Korea. He then sent these two men to Jinzhou to supervise the war. However, their station was in Jinzhou City, north of the Jinzhou Isthmus. When Erhe led his troops from the Jinzhou Isthmus Fortress, these two men had not yet received the news from Haihan. News of the sudden offensive.

Erhe led the troops to attack. It was considered as his own initiative. It didn't matter if he won the battle. Erhe could use reasons such as the fleeting opportunity to defend himself. As long as the result was good enough, it didn't matter what the process was. Important. But the situation at this time was exactly the opposite. The Erhe tribe who attacked without permission was severely damaged by the Haihan army. After this news was spread back, Erhe would probably be punished.

Before Erhe could make up his mind on the snowy field, Morgan had already found out from the captured officers the names of the two generals who were stationed in Jinzhou. However, he did not know any of these generals at the top of the Houjin military. He had a clear understanding of the status of these two people in Houjin, but he had learned that at least thousands of troops had been assembled in Jinzhou and could go south to join the war at any time. This news was very important to Haihan. It's important.

Morgan immediately used the radio to send the information he learned to the other two groups of troops. Qian Tiandun had been in the north for more than a year, and his primary goal was financial support. Naturally, he had done a lot of homework on these key figures. After seeing the contents of the telegram, Qian Tiandun could not help but remain silent for a long time, so that Gao Qiaonan, who was standing next to him, felt a little uneasy and took the initiative to ask: "Chief, what's the trouble?"

Qian Tiandun came back from his thoughts, shook his head slightly and said, "I can't say it's troublesome, but some things are quite strange. Go and get my box."

Qian Tiandun didn't say what kind of box it was, but Takahashi Nan had been with him for many years and knew exactly what he was referring to. He quickly walked outside the tent and called one of Qian Tiandun's personal attendants over: "The chief's box."

The attendant was carrying a gray box in his hand, which was just over a foot in size and three inches thick, with a faint metallic luster. Takahashi Minami took the box from his hand, then entered the tent again and put the box Put it on the table in front of Qian Tiandun.

Qian Tiandun opened the box and did not shy away from Gao Qiaonan. He took out a book and opened it. Gao Qiaonan seemed to be used to this, so he stood quietly next to him. He knew Qian Tiandun's box. There are some manuscript books inside every day, and the contents are all top-secret documents. Qian Tiandun often looks through these things to assist in decision-making when formulating battle plans. Although Gao Qiaonan does not know what Qian Tiandun is reading, he must It was a very important matter that made Qian Tiandun check these documents at this time.

"As expected..." After a moment, Qian Tiandun slowly put down the book in his hand and muttered to himself: "This will change history!"

The book he just looked through recorded the important figures and events of the Later Jin Dynasty during this period. It was a reference compiled and processed by Ning Qi from Sanya. According to the records in this book, the Later Jin Dynasty mobilized a large number of troops to attack North Korea.

It should be at the end of this year, but this process has obviously been advanced due to some unknown reasons. This is most likely to be directly related to Haihan's appearance in Liaodong. Both Azig and Yanguli should have followed Huang Taiji.

The general who personally conquered North Korea appeared in Jinzhou at this time, so Jin Dynasty's plan to conquer North Korea would definitely be affected by this, and it would probably be postponed for a long time.

In the original history, Yang Guli, a general, died during the post-Jin Dynasty. He was injured by a stray bullet from the Korean army on the battlefield and died in the end. The appearance of Haihan changed his original life.

trajectory, but it is not yet known whether this is a blessing or a curse for him.

Another thing that interests Qian Tiandun is that in the original history, Huang Taiji would proclaim himself emperor in the next April, change the country's name to "Qing", and change the year's name to Chongde. This pair

The international political situation in the entire Far East is an important event, but now that Haihan is right under Hou Jin's nose, is Huang Taiji still in the mood to engage in such a trick?

Of course, Qian Tiandun had no way to attack Shenyang City immediately and strangle the Hou Jin regime that had not yet become the Qing Dynasty at this stage, but he believed that if he could create more trouble for Hou Jin at this time, Huang Taiji might be able to

Temporarily slowing down the matter of proclaiming the emperor. After all, emperors have to pay attention to the timing when they ascend the throne. If one's own army is beaten like a dog by foreign enemies at this time, who can be in the mood to hold a throne ceremony?

"Huang Taiji wants to be emperor so much, so of course his wish cannot be fulfilled." Qian Tiandun's eyes gradually became determined. He had already made up his mind to rewrite this period of history. In addition to defeating his opponents on the battlefield,

Besides, this seems to be a very interesting achievement.

"Gao Qiaonan, you go and notify Shen Zhixiang to come over. We will hold a combat meeting to discuss the next plan." Qian Tiandun ordered.

Qian Tiandun originally didn't have much hope for the troops sent by Pi Dao, and he didn't want to completely expose the tactics of the special operations battalion to the opponent's sight, but now there is a good reason to send Shen Zhixiang's troops to

Get out of here first.

Soon Shen Zhixiang came to Qian Tiandun's big tent. In order to reassure the Haihan people, he did not even station with his own troops, but chose to live in the Haihan Army's camp. That's why he came like this.

So fast.

"General Xiao Shen, I have a task to give to your troops. Let me talk about it first. Where you go, you may have a head-on confrontation with the enemy. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can choose to refuse." Qian Tiandun stared.

He said with a look on Shen Zhixiang's face.
