Chapter 1480 Frontline Records

The most violent conflicts that He Li and others have witnessed in daily life are gangsters fighting, or the government beating the prisoners during the trial. After all, they have seen the execution scenes of Qiu Houwenzhan several times, and they have some experience.

, as for this kind of life-threatening war scene, it was the first time for them to experience it personally. If the previous golden cavalry charges from a distance caused them an extremely strong sense of fear, then at this time the Haihan Army

Using a rifle array to snipe the enemy troops dozens of feet away without allowing them to advance an inch, they were shocked and speechless for a moment.

According to folklore, the Haihan army is all heavenly soldiers and generals descending to earth, and the weapons they hold are all extraordinary. However, these businessmen have always been in contact with Haihan in the south, so they naturally know that these rumors are stories that only stupid men and women will believe.

There are no such things as heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals. Haihan soldiers are just mortals with two eyes and one mouth. As for advanced weapons, they have never seen the power of Haihan weapons with their own eyes before, and all they know are from various sources.

It's just a rumor.

But when the unbelievable battle scene of using infantry against cavalry actually appeared in front of them, the word "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" still subconsciously appeared in everyone's mind. How could the Haihan Army be in the battle if they were not descended from the gods?

To create such a one-sided situation?

Seeing that the hundreds of golden cavalrymen were all broken up and sinking in the sand not far away from me, the audience on the carriage was so excited that they finally shouted loudly. How can you say that these golden people are all from the Ming Dynasty?

Even the sworn enemies were greatly satisfied when they saw the Jin people beaten to the ground by the Haihan Army, as if they had used this to get rid of the resentment in their hearts.

The battle started suddenly, progressed and ended very quickly. From the time the Hou Jin Cavalry appeared in everyone's sight, to the few survivors who saw that the situation was over and fled the battlefield, it only took a few minutes. And Haihan formed a bond from the battle.

The formation of the infantry was not disordered at all, and no one escaped in fear of the battle. This shows that this unit has strict military discipline, is confident on the battlefield, and has never been afraid of the enemy's offensive.

After the battle came to an end, an officer came and asked them to get out of the car and watch the results of the battle at a close distance. Perhaps the battle scene stimulated the bravery of men in their hearts, and everyone was not as nervous as they were in the field hospital before.

After getting off the bus, they headed to the fighting area under the leadership of the officer.

In the battle just now, only a few people of the Haihan Army were hit by the bows and arrows thrown by the Houjin cavalry on horseback. However, they were not fatally injured. As long as the injuries are treated carefully and rest peacefully, they should all be better in the future.

recovery. After the medical soldiers assessed their injuries, they briefly treated the wounds and carried away the more seriously injured people on stretchers and sent them to the rear field hospitals with better medical conditions for treatment.

The Houjin soldiers on the opposite side, who were knocked down but could not breathe for a while, did not fare so well. Howls and groans were heard one after another, and the scene looked quite tragic. Haihan was already gathering his troops, preparing to start cleaning the battlefield.

.

At this time, Takahashi Minami also came over to meet the merchants and gave them a general introduction to the battle process just now. A battle of this scale is not a big deal for Takahashi Minami, but the guys he bumped into today are very tough.

, with just such a small number of people and horses, they dared to push up. It seemed that the heavily protected visiting group had misunderstood them. These Houjin cavalry who charged desperately thought that there were important figures from Haihan in the carriage patrolling the battlefield.

That's why he was so manic. Although Takahashi Minami had no intention of using southern businessmen as bait, objectively it did play such a role.

Fortunately, the deployment preparations before departure were very thorough. The troops did not show any sloppiness when facing the enemy. The battle results were also very ideal, and the enemy troops who took the initiative to attack were eliminated at a very small cost.

Most of the time. Even if we look at this battle according to Takahashi Minami's strict standards, there is nothing to criticize about the performance of his soldiers. And what satisfies Takahashi Minami the most is that these southern businessmen were obviously impressed by the battle scene just now.

They were so shocked that all of them turned red and looked excited.

"You may have seen just now that even the hundreds of Houjin cavalry are as vulnerable as chickens and dogs in front of our army. No matter how fierce they are, they still can't get closer to our army.

The gap in strength. I can promise you without exaggeration that even if the enemy's troops are five times as strong as mine, they can never take advantage of our troops in the field. If we rely on the Jinzhou Isthmus defense line to be built in the rear, then even if

They sent ten times as many troops to no avail, they just wanted our army to improve its record."

When Gao Qiaonan talked about the war, his confidence accumulated from winning battles for many years was palpable. Of course, he also wanted to use this vivid battle example to show the visitors that the strength of the Haihan Army was far beyond what Hou Jin could challenge. Waiting for the southern troops

After the defense line was built, Hou Jin's attempt to launch an offensive southward was tantamount to hitting an egg with a stone.

At this time, an officer came over and asked Gao Qiaonan for instructions on how to deal with the injured enemy soldiers. Gao Qiaonan glanced at the group of southern businessmen next to him and said in a deep voice: "Disarm and refuse to kill. If there are those who try to resist, don't do it."

Warning, kill them immediately."

The officer saluted a military salute, and then led the team to clean the battlefield. The soldiers held rifles and formed a long snake formation, slowly approaching the area where the Jin army was concentrated. There was another person who followed behind with an iron trumpet and used

The Jurchen language shouted to these injured Houjin soldiers not to hold weapons and not to try to stand up, otherwise they will be regarded as trying to resist.

Although such measures were taken, there were still ferocious Houjin soldiers who did not believe in evil and tried to struggle up for a last-ditch effort. However, anyone who dared to stand up at this time would immediately be shot by at least six or seven rifles.

, and then fell down and died as quickly as possible.

In fact, if Haihan Army followed the usual habit of cleaning the battlefield, even this kind of shouting might be omitted. In the end, those left on the battlefield were almost all wounded soldiers who had lost most of their mobility, and these wounded soldiers were very important to Haihan.

It is said that apart from the human head on the neck, there is nothing else that can be used. Moreover, for soldiers of Han origin, under the influence of long-term propaganda, the impression of these post-Jin barbarians is extremely hateful and they want to be executed.

There is no psychological pressure on these wounded soldiers who will become a burden to Haihan. Even if these wounded soldiers do not take any resistance measures, most of them will hardly survive the stage of cleaning up the battlefield.

To put it ten thousand steps back, even if the fate of the people survives this round of filtering by the Haihan Army, the Ming Army from Dongjiang Town will come in for a second round of cleaning, and this time it will deal with all the injured Houjin soldiers left on the battlefield.

Said that it was basically the last period of his life. Dongjiang Town needed to use these enemy heads to report their merits to the country, so it was more merciless than the Haihan Army and would basically cut off the heads of all the injured.

In a battle of this scale today, it would take at least three large wagons to load the heads that were chopped off and transported away afterwards. The scene was so bloody that these southern businessmen probably would not dare to watch it.

Among the people in the car, the only one who had seen the view of the head was probably Liu Shang. Earlier when he was on duty on the front line, he had seen several times the heads of enemy soldiers brought back from the battlefield by the Ming army in Dongjiang Town, unloaded from the car.

It was piled up like a hill, and it had to be salted with lime to prevent it from spoiling quickly. However, no Ming troops were arranged to accompany today's errand, so it was estimated that it would be an hour before the Ming troops were notified before they came over.

Something happened.

However, Gao Qiaonan did not intend to leave them here to wait to see the Ming army's performance in Dongjiang Town. After all, this was not a post-Qiu beheading. It was just a matter of cutting off one or two heads, and it didn't hurt to treat them as a curiosity. But

If they were to see people beheading people here with such vigor, they might be frightened and go crazy.

After watching the work of cleaning the battlefield for a while, Takahashi Minami asked everyone to get on the bus again and continue to move northwest. He hoped to take these visitors further north before the enemy made a more violent response.

Take a look - it would be best if you could see Jinzhou City.

This is not a delusion. The war zone is not too far from Jinzhou City, and the visibility today is not bad. As long as we can get within the visual range of about seven or eight miles, plus the bonus of the telescope, we can probably

You can see the towers of Jinzhou City.

After the previous news of the defeat of this post-Jin army was transmitted back, it would inevitably cause further reactions. Perhaps a larger number of post-Jin troops would attack later to find the so-called carriage target. However, Takahashi Minami knew the opponent's battlefield information transmission.

The feedback speed was relatively slow, so he calculated that he would have enough time to go outside Jinzhou City for this experience first.

The journey of several miles was approaching in an instant. Although no groups of Houjin cavalry seemed to be found here, for safety reasons, Gao Qiaonan still ordered to stop heading north. He asked people to take the merchants out of the car.

came, distributed telescopes to them, and immediately taught them how to use and adjust them.

The merchants knew that there was such a magical baby in the Haihan Army, but they had never touched the real thing before. They were very excited at the moment. They held it in their hands and played with it. Everyone couldn't put it down. When Liu Shang saw this

He couldn't help but secretly ridicule these guys for not having seen the world, but he seemed to have forgotten that just a few months ago, he was a storyteller in Sanya Port District who had not seen much of the world.

After setting the focus, you can clearly see the Jinzhou City on the distant horizon through the telescope. After the Hou Jin Dynasty occupied the city, some reinforcements were made to the city wall defense, so the city wall was stronger than during the Ming Dynasty.

It was taller and thicker. However, these southern businessmen did not know what Jinzhou City looked like in the past, so they could only admire the sight they saw in front of them.

Although they don't know much about the current situation of Jinzhou City, they also know that this place used to be the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Now that this kind of strong city has been occupied by Hou Jin, it will be very difficult to take it back. And even with force

The super powerful Haihan Army seems to have no intention of continuing to attack north. It seems that the defense of Jinzhou City will be difficult to break.

At this moment, some unwilling people still raised this question to Gao Qiaonan: "Excuse me, General Gao Qiao, since the Jin army is vulnerable, why not send troops northward to capture Jinzhou City, at an angle to the southern defense line?"

Wouldn’t it be more stable if the situation is strong?”

Gao Qiaonan didn't bother to answer this kind of layman's question, but now that he was on task, he could only patiently explain: "Jinzhou City has thick walls and nearly 10,000 troops. It will indeed take a lot of effort to capture it.

For our army, it is of little significance to capture Jinzhou City at this stage. On the contrary, because we have to divide our forces to defend the city, it will further dilute our army's deployment of troops on the southern border defense line, which may leave a dangerous legacy for the enemy.

Take advantage of the opportunity. Therefore, for our army, attacking Jinzhou City is not the best option at the moment. However, by maintaining the current high-pressure situation, we can force the opponent to continuously send troops to fight a war of attrition. This is probably the most cost-effective approach for our army.

Already."

Regardless of whether everyone understood Gao Qiaonan's explanation, they could only say "General is wise" at the moment. But at least everyone understood one thing, that is, the Haihan military does not plan to attack Jinzhou City at the moment.

Instead, they intend to maintain the current state of war and continue to bleed Hou Jin. No matter what Haihan's purpose is, such a move is undoubtedly a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. Hou Jin must maintain enough troops here to stabilize the situation.

, and this actually reduces the offensive that Ming Dynasty will face in disguise.

Of course, with the military strength displayed by Haihan, the businessmen also believed that as long as Haihan really wanted to launch an offensive, it might not be a difficult task to capture Jinzhou City.

In fact, what Gao Qiaonan said can be explained in one sentence, that is, "there are not enough troops." Haihan only has a combat force of about 3,000 people in Liaodong. The more places he captures, the more dispersed the deployment of garrison troops will be.

.And even if a big city like Jinzhou City is successfully captured, it will definitely not be enough to mobilize three to five hundred people to defend the city. If more are deployed, it will affect the overall deployment. Therefore, before the military strength is sufficiently expanded, the Haihan military will still

It was decided not to move to Jinzhou City for the time being, but to make some noise from time to time, so that the Jin Army had to take the initiative to send troops to fight.

After staying at this observation point for about half an hour, a clear copper whistle sounded from the nearby wilderness. Takahashi Minami understood that this was a signal to observe the enemy's formation and mobilization, and there happened to be nearly 10,000 troops stationed nearby.

Jinzhou City. When even the tour was ordered to be suspended, everyone returned to the carriage and evacuated to the rear.

Although the reaction was a little slow, the Hou Jin Army finally got some flavor from the product, so Azig sent troops again, hoping to intercept this heavily protected convoy.
