Zhu Yongxing and the General Staff were at the rear. They formulated strategies based on their own comprehensive strength and adopted the most secure military plan. But on the front line, the strategy was implemented, but the results depended on the abilities of the frontline generals.
and courage.
On November 29, nine days after the Ming army broke through the Hejian defense line, cloud-like sails appeared on the sea from Yanghekou in the east to Daihekou in the west. Under the stunned gaze of the Qing army, rumbling
The sound of artillery broke the silence of the early morning. The Ming Navy divided into two small battle fleets, violently bombarded the forts at Yanghekou and Daihekou, and tried to go up the river.
The Qing garrison at Haikou in the Nanhai Camp hurriedly directed the forts to fire and bombard the Ming fleet, and deployed troops on the river bank to prevent the Ming army from entering the inland river and landing.
After the artillery battle lasted for an hour and a half, the Qing army's fort was severely damaged. The Ming navy's long guns and cannons destroyed almost all the artillery on the fort. Then, the navy began to forcibly move up the river and blew up the iron cables blocking the river.
, and violently bombarded the Qing troops defending on the river bank.
One ship, two ships, three ships... Just as the Qing army was busy mobilizing its troops to block the two river mouths, the Ming army navy anchored at sea put down the small boats, and more than a hundred ten-man landing ships cut through the waves, rowing like
Fly and rush towards the coast.
"Hurry. Hurry!" Chief Flag Officer Yang Jinxin desperately urged the rowers.
He was born in Shinan Prefecture in Kuizhou, and was originally a member of the remnants of the Dashun Army. When the remnants of the Dashun Army moved to Kuidong, he stayed in Guangxi due to injuries. When the Ming Army entered Guangxi again, he joined the army again, which was regarded as
He cleared his history and moved on to fight all the way, from a small soldier to a flag officer. Now that the war has reached this point, Yang Jinxin also understands that it is almost time to remove his armor and return to the field, but he still has another goal, which is to be promoted to battalion command.
Because the imperial court stipulates that those who are at the battalion command level will be promoted to the seventh grade of martial arts after retirement and can be placed as local officials.
In other words, Yang Jinxin is not satisfied with working hard after retiring. He also wants to eat royal food and be an official.
The area where the Ming army chose to land was the seaside tourist area of Beidaihe in later generations. The beach here has better sand quality and a gentler slope. More importantly, this is a weak area for the Qing army's defense. There are only a few piers and abutments, and the total is no more than three.
Hundreds of Qing soldiers.
Smoke rose from the fortress. Yang Jinxin sneered, the beach was already in front of him. Even if the Qing army gathered to attack, it would be too late.
The ship paused and found itself stranded. Yang Jinxin shouted and jumped into the waist-deep water first, holding up the musket and bullet sacs in his hands. He rushed to the shore in the biting cold.
"Charge and kill!"
Some survival tips in cold areas have been announced to the entire army. How much you can master depends on your personal ability. Yang Jinxin knows that he must not stop at this time, must not huddle up, and must run. He must move and sweat before he can drive away.
A chill that penetrated into his bones. He hurriedly gathered dozens of soldiers, held up flags, and rushed towards a group of Qing troops approaching.
Looking at the flag of the headquarters, the Ming soldiers who boarded the beach one after another followed the team, rushed towards the enemy, and started a fierce battle with the enemy.
"Shoot!" After a loud shout, there was a deafening volley. More than thirty muskets spurted out flames and white smoke, and blood exploded on the bodies of the Qing troops on the opposite side. The screams rang out, but the remaining Qing troops
Still howling, he charged forward and fired a hail of arrows.
More than a dozen Ming soldiers fell down. In order to reduce weight, the soldiers who landed on the beach only wore light armor and helmets, which greatly reduced their protection against bows and arrows.
"Hold it from the front, load it from the back." Yang Jinxin roared, and an arrow hit his helmet, but it did not cause him any harm. He knew that time is victory, and comrades were coming behind him. As long as he held it for a short time,
Time is victory.
The banging sounds continued, the two sides collided violently, bayonets were stabbing, swords flashed in the air, and immediately there was a tragic scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere. After the first team began to engage, the Ming army behind also accelerated their pace, preparing to
Merge into the front to fight.
Yang Jinxin dodged sideways and stabbed the chest of a Qing soldier with the bayonet in his hand. Before he could pull back, a Qing soldier slashed at him with a broadsword. He quickly turned around, and the broadsword struck the gun body, shocking him.
His hand almost fell away. The Qing soldier exploded with ferocity and pushed the knife along the gun body. Yang Jinxin couldn't pull it back. He leaned up and rolled back on the ground. Just as he was about to stand up, there was a sudden sound beside his ear.
There were several roars and white smoke filled the sky in front of his eyes. Yang Jinxin was shaken to the point of dizziness. The Qing soldiers on the opposite side fell heavily to the ground, clutching their bleeding chests.
The Ming army from the back group arrived in time and fired randomly at medium and close range, knocking down the Qing soldiers in front immediately. A cloud of white smoke filled the place where the two sides met, and their vision suddenly became blurred.
But neither side could retreat. Yang Jinxin opened his mouth wide to eliminate the ringing in his ears, picked up a big knife from the ground, and swung it to chop randomly. He felt that something was hit repeatedly, and he didn't know whether it was a person or a shield. He just heard
There were screams and angry shouts from the other side.
The two sides fought desperately on the beach, with corpses piled all over the place. In the end, they were stepping on each other's corpses to fight. The Ming army kept coming from behind, first firing with muskets, and then fighting with bayonets. Finally, those Qing soldiers lost their lives.
The soldiers were heavily injured and fled back with panicked shouts. The Ming army ran outside to pursue them and opened up a larger landing site.
More and more Ming army soldiers landed on the beach, and the troops of the three general banners each gathered under the banner of the chief officer. After a fierce fight, only six or seven hundred of the nearly 1,000-strong assault force could still stand. They quickly
Form three small square formations and advance towards a deep attack, expanding the landing site and ensuring the safety of the landing site.
After unloading the soldiers, the landing ship quickly returned to pick up the next batch of soldiers. Only by continuous investment can the situation be stabilized, a force advantage be formed, and the water and land can be coordinated to seize the port so that the large group of people and baggage can be disembarked calmly.
.
The battle line stretched for several kilometers, and the Qing army's defensive strength seemed to be stretched thin. More and more Ming troops rushed to land on the beach. Not only did they secure a stable landing site, but they also began to form a square formation to attack the river mouth to cooperate with the navy's battle.
It was obvious that the Qing troops stationed there were not familiar with anti-landing operations. They had not even experienced a similar battle and seriously lacked experience in responding to emergencies. In fact, the entire Qing Dynasty was incapable of dealing with threats from the sea.
We can only hope to destroy the enemies who dare to attack on land.
With this kind of defensive thinking, coupled with the weapons and equipment that lag behind the Ming army, it is difficult to withstand a large-scale landing of the Ming army in suitable areas. Not to mention that based on the current technical level and the financial resources of the Qing Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible A coastal defense line similar to the "Atlantic Barrier" was built.
