095 Offensive and defensive battle
Qingzhou, Qinghai Port!
While the battle with Zhang Mancheng was in full swing, the battle with Qinghai Port was also ongoing.
Moreover, compared with Zhang Mancheng's side, the battle at Qinghai Port will be even more tragic.
Although Liu Cheng has an absolute intelligence advantage, the troops in Liu Cheng's hands are limited after all.
Over the past year, Liu Cheng's military camp has recruited troops, and with the Chang'an copy, nearly 200,000 troops were exposed, and Liu Cheng's army conservatively estimated that there were 400,000 soldiers alone in the system.
However, although Liu Cheng had many troops, his territory was also large!
Military use is needed in all places, and Liu Cheng's army is in the rear, so it is a miracle that he can mobilize more than 200,000 troops to Qingzhou within half a month.
At this time, Qingzhou Port was as Xu Da expected, with only about 30,000 people.
30,000 vs. 150,000, can such a battle not be tragic?
After Xu Da used the bandits to deceive the defenders' [Invincible General] shells, he began to launch the most fierce attack.
You must know that the Ming army under Xu Da’s command is not the Ming army in the late Ming Dynasty in history. This Ming army is extremely fierce and very good at fighting!
Under Xu Da's leadership, he culminated Qinghai Port like a hungry beast.
On the other side, Qinghai Port.
Although Liu Cheng did not invest a lot of troops in Qinghai Port, the lineup configured by Liu Cheng in Qinghai Port is also quite terrifying.
The 30,000 people in Qinghai Port were all elite infantry in Xiliang, and the commander was Qin Yangwu, who had Yan Yan's martial spirit. Under his command, Liu Cheng also equipped first-class generals such as Liu Dali, Zhou Cang, and Guan Hai.
In terms of lineup, he may lose some, but he will not lose too much.
In addition, with defensive facilities, they may be able to compete with Xu Da.
According to Qin Yangwu's own estimate, he could at least resist Xu Da's attack. As long as he could block Xu Da's attack, the battle would basically come to an end.
However, the facts proved that Qin Yangwu overestimated himself and even underestimated Xu Da.
From the beginning, Xu Dajun broke out with a fierce attack far beyond their imagination.
What's even more terrifying is that after a few hours, the opponent's offensive not only did not reduce it in half, but also became increasingly fierce and increasingly fierce.
After all, Qinghai Port is a port rather than a city. There are no city walls, and there are only some simple fortifications.
Although the defense power of these defense methods is quite good, I don’t know how much worse it is than the city wall.
Therefore, Qin Yangwu was under great pressure at this time. It was not enough to invest all 30,000 defenders. Even Liu Dali and his generals had to join the battlefield to guard one side in person.
However, even if Liu Dali and the others joined, they still could not turn the situation around.
The Ming army under Commander Xu Da's offensive was brutal and orderly. Once a first-class general was found to join the battle, the Ming army either increased the attack or gave up that part of the attack and instead invested its strength in another part.
Xu Da's approach greatly restricts the performance of first-class military generals.
Let the first-class generals who originally rely on defense and be generous and brilliant on the battlefield shine in this battle and have no effect at all.
However, Xu Da's side was different. Among the Ming army, generals such as Feng Sheng, Li Wenzhong, and Tang He fought on the battlefield with Xu Da's command and mobility.
With this addition and subtraction, the appearance of Liu Dali and others not only failed to save the situation, but even accelerated the deterioration of the situation.
Finally, in the sixth hour after Xu Da attacked Qinghai Port, Qinghai Port began to lose its defense line.
Under the utmost circumstances, Qinghai Port can only tighten its defense line.
The more the defense line on Qinghai Port shrinks, the tighter the Xu Da chases, and the more he looks like he will never give up until he breaks Qinghai Port.
In the seventh hour when Xu Da attacked Qinghai Port, all the outermost defense lines of Qinghai Port were lost, and Liu Jun retreated to the second line of defense.
In the ninth hour, the second line of defense at Qinghai Port was also declared to be lost. Liu Jun had no choice but to retreat again and again, pushing to the last line of defense.
In fact, their battle was a bit extraordinary.
Logically, for nine hours of continuous battle, although Liu Cheng did lose two lines of defense, there were probably more than 10,000 soldiers who died in battle.
But Xu Da was not feeling well as the attacking party. Although he had many soldiers and his command ability was far superior to Qin Yangwu.
But Qin Yangwu had defense after all, and there were also various cities to defend. After nine hours of battle, Xu Da's soldiers lost at least 30,000 to 40,000 people, which was almost one to three losses.
Moreover, as Liu Cheng's defense line tightened, Liu's army's defense not only did not decrease, but even increased a lot. Xu Da could not avoid those generals who could have avoided the importance of the important.
Under this situation, the war losses between the two sides have not only not been brought closer, but are even expanding.
Logically, under this situation, Xu Da should be slow, and blindly attacking is not a solution.
And at this time, most of Qinghai Port had fallen into Xu Da's hands. At this time, whether he wanted to plunder Liu Cheng's logistics or destroy the port, there was no need to fight with Qin Yangwu.
But at this time, Xu Da was going to fight to the death with Qin Yangwu, completely posing as if he wanted to take down Qin Yangwu's army at any cost.
In fact, what Xu Da wanted to take at this time was not Qin Yangwu, but the three [Invincible General] in Qin Yangwu's army.
Other martial soul forces may not recognize what this thing is, but Xu Da still knows this thing.
He knew that this was a cannon, and it was because he knew that it was [Invincible General of Divine Power] that he wanted to attack wildly.
In fact, they had technical talents who could make artillery in their hands. Over the past period of time, their technical talents have also been working hard to make artillery.
But for some reason, they clearly mastered the artillery technology, but they were still unable to make artillery, as if the technology had completely failed.
Originally, the Ming Dynasty was about to give up artillery, but in the end, the shadow of artillery was seen on Liu Cheng's side, and the power of Liu Cheng's artillery seemed to be much more terrifying than what they remembered.
This made Xu Da have the same idea as Liu Cheng. If they could grab the cannon and send it back to Xuzhou and let their technical talents study it, they might be able to mass produce this type of cannon.
He has also witnessed the power of this kind of artillery with his own eyes. As long as it can be mass-produced, they will definitely be able to sweep the world.
In this way, Xu Da naturally insisted on Qin Yangwu's reluctance to let go.
