Chapter 440: Set foot in southern Liaoning
These Jiannu soldiers had people from all ethnic groups, and their composition was a bit complicated.
If the so-called Jiannu relies solely on Jianzhou Aisin Jueluo family, not to mention 200,000 people, even 10,000 people would not be able to make up.
So they annexed in constant wars. They captured so many tribes and incorporated these tribes into their Eight Banners. If they were the original Jurchens and people from all over the Northeast, they would have merged them into the Eight Banners of Jianzhou. If they were the surrendered Han army, they would have formed the Eight Banners of Han army. Now, after conquering multiple Mongolian tribes, they would have the interest to form the Eight Banners of Mongolia, which is a reflection of their great expansion of their power.
One thing is undoubtedly, that is, these people defected to Jiannu, and were naturally afraid of death, for a bite or a better life. But now they were directly ordered to be executed, which made them very angry.
Many soldiers said loudly: "If you escape, you will be executed. Then Amin escaped in Luanzhou, why not be executed?"
It would be fine if he didn't mention this matter. When Amin mentioned this matter, he became even more angry and even more angry. He ordered the deserters to be executed one by one on the spot.
Amin was killed happily, but his subordinates couldn't stand it anymore. Victory and defeat were common in military affairs. If they were defeated, they would have to be executed. Then half of the soldiers in the world would have to be executed. More importantly, it seems that there are many deserters at present, which is beyond their acceptable range. If there are thirty or fifty people, killing them can correct the military discipline. But now they have so many people, which is equivalent to the thousands of people deployed in Gaizhou that have collapsed and fled. Could it be that Chengdu has executed them?
So after the persuasion of several subordinates under Amin, Amin agreed and just killed some of the leaders, and then formed all the deserters into Niulu, let them counterattack Gaizhou and let them serve as the vanguard troops to counterattack Gaizhou.
This time the Liu family army attacked across the sea, which was the elite troops in their area. The one responsible for the front line was Liu Zhongyong, the largest general of the Liu family army. Liu Zhongyong was the first landing force. He personally led the most elite troops of the Liu family army to land first to launch an attack, and then established a front-line command on the land to be responsible for the response and unloading the troops behind. Liu Bu was the general manager of the marching, responsible for commanding the overall situation.
Of course, the two places were very short apart. After Liu Bu landed in the first wave of troops, he also arrived at the outer sea. When he arrived at the outer sea, the Liu family army had successfully seized the city gate. After the Liu family army successfully captured the city gate, Liu Bu was very happy and immediately ordered his follow-up troops to suppress them and prepare to take down Gaizhou City in one fell swoop and complete his established combat plan.
This time they are an amphibious landing. You should know that amphibious landing is a very difficult problem even in later generations, not to mention that the communication and management technology are so backward, which is even more difficult.
Sure enough, during the amphibious landing, various problems arose and various chaos. Even though they had performed exercises and prepared in advance, various problems arose when they performed on the spot.
Fortunately, Zheng Zining, an experienced man, is commanding here. The Liu family army is not good at attacking from the sea to the land, but this is the specialty of Zheng Zining's fleet. What they pirates are best at wandering on the sea, then judging the target and launching a fatal blow to the target. This is their specialty.
Of course, such a formal and large-scale operation was under a lot of pressure for Zheng Zining, so she also led her team of confidant staff to command on the spot. This time, it was the first time that the couple joined forces to command landing operations.
Under Zheng Zining's guidance, they finally overcame some difficulties, unloaded the troops and heavy equipment one by one, and boarded the territory of Gaizhou City. When they got to Gaizhou City, they had already seized the gates on both sides, and the Liu family army had already begun to siege Shang Kexi, who was hiding in the general's mansion.
Large amphibious landing wars like them, as long as they successfully seized the beachhead and gained a foothold, it would be half successful. Now they not only gained a foothold, but also seized the city gate and besieged the general's mansion, which was already a success. Liu Bu was very happy and immediately ordered his headquarters to move forward.
When Liu Bu ascended the territory of southern Liaoning under the protection of his personal soldiers, a large number of troops continued to unload, and there were also officers and soldiers who had already unloaded and seized the positions. When they saw Liu Bu's flag, they all expressed great respect. When they saw Liu Bu, they cheered one after another and shouted loudly: "Wan Sheng!"
The military salute of the Liu family army was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, which was to clench one fist, hit the chest a little, and then shouted for thousands of victory.
Liu Bu also felt energetic at this moment. He now led thousands of troops across the sea from Shandong, entered the land in southern Liaoning, stepped onto the land controlled by Jiannu, and officially began his career in fighting against Jiannu.
You should know that Liu Bu came here through time. All his plans were to prepare for fighting with Jiannu, defeating the bandits' army and capturing Zhang Xianzhong alive. He did not think there was anything great about these brilliant achievements. On the contrary, he also believed that some of them were inconsistent with his time traveler's identity. It was meaningless to fight with these peasant uprising soldiers. If you want to fight, you would fight with a strong army like Jiannu, which claimed to be invincible in East Asia and the world.
And Liu Bu understood one thing, that is, since he came, it would be impossible to let the Han people fall under the rule of foreign races. Therefore, the war between him and Jiannu will begin sooner or later. Start today, the sooner the better.
He once thought about a problem before, that is, his Liu family army has not developed and has not yet grown up. At this time, he was fighting with Jiannu, and his strength was not enough, which was not a good idea.
But the problems faced by the Liu family army were not facing Jiannu. Is Jiannu's strength strong enough? He faced the most powerful empire in the world today, the Ming Empire, the Mongol Empire, and there was a North Korea in the northeast. Even the Jurchens behind them were not easy to deal with, but Jiannu could have fought a bloody road from such a harsh environment. Why can't they do it? The difficulties are from both sides.
But now the Liu family army has a very confident one, which is something that Jiannu does not have.
Jiannu may have an elite Eight Banners unit trained through decades of development and over the decades of eastern and western strife, and can dominate the world with this unit.
Liu Bu's Liu family army may not have such ability. Their tactics and weapons are the most sophisticated in the contemporary era, but they have no practical experience and lack the baptism of actual combat. Under such circumstances, it is hard to say whether they can compete with the most powerful Jiannu in the world today, but Liu Bu is very confident, that is, they are too rich now. Since the soldiers of the Liu family army are not enough to compete with Jiannu, they will expand their troops to a larger scale so that they can compete with Jiannu.
Perhaps there is a problem. This is when the Liu family army is expeditioning to southern Liaoning, the entire army is wiped out. He can form a new Liu family army within two or three years because he has money and equipment and can arm a large number of troops at any time.
Jiannu was a small capital, a small family, a small business, and a small business, and was competing with the strongest empire today. The population was their fault. One less, one less. It took decades to add a strong man, so they forced other tribes and races into their ranks. However, they also had a problem, that is, in the process of integration, there was a phenomenon that was different from our race. If his Eight Banners Army was invincible and smooth sailing, everyone would surrender, kneel at their feet, and sway and please them, but if they defeated the war, it would be different.
This is one of the reasons why Liu Bu in later generations always felt that they were defeated unjustly, because the Ming Dynasty could be defeated hundreds of times, but Jiannu could only be defeated once.
Liu Bu stepped onto the land in southern Liaoning with great enthusiasm. When he saw the soldiers saluting him with great respect, he also saluted the Israeli military with majestic attitude.
In the military discipline of the Liu family army, the etiquette of soldiers is very important. Even an ordinary soldier saluted the superior, and the superior must return etiquette. This is even Liu Bu is no exception. This greatly strengthens their sense of honor. Another thing is that if their Liu family army is equipped with armor, they can salute even when facing the governor Liu Yuanqiao, without kneeling down and kowtow. This is what really makes the Liu family army unique. That is, when they were in Fengyang, even when facing the powerful people in the world, his soldiers all stood upright and bowed like other troops.
Liu Bu formed the Liu family army and participated in every link and every step of the construction, so his prestige in the army was quite high. In the past, his prestige was in the inner world, but after several major wars, he now led the army into the land of southern Liaoning, which made his prestige reach its peak. He was so brave that every soldier couldn't help but feel respectful when he saw him and said loudly: "General is brave! General is victorious!"
Liu Bu was sincerely happy to see that his troops were so high. He knew that in today's war, the morale of the troops was the key to the war. As long as the soldiers had a sense of vigor, had the morale of not giving up and fighting to the death, they could persevere to the end and defeat the enemy.
