The north wind is whistling, although it is already February, but the weather is still cold.

Yang Jian sneaked into Beijing to spy on the news of the "Revolutionary Army", and Zhou Qingfeng quietly left the mountain customs in Beijing and arrived in the northeast.

As the "first gate in the world", the mountain customs is a majestic gate.It stuck on the only way to Gyeonggi in the Liaxi Corridor, east of Liaodong Bay, west of the Yanshan Mountains, and thousands of miles away from Jiayuguan, to help the Han people resist the invasion of the barbarians in the north.

Zhou Qingfeng stood on the wall of more than ten meters high, holding a telescope to look at a group opposite to the enemy - about three kilometers away, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, holding a banner more than a height, the flag wrote a big "high" word.

"It was Gao Hongzhong, the deputy general appointed by the founding of the slaves, who was already a guerrilla of the Ming Army, stationed in the Liaohe area.Last year, Nurkhachi swept Liaoxi, and he returned.This guy, like Fan Wencheng, is very reused by Huang Taiji and belongs to the hardcore traitor."The tall cow stood behind Zhou Qingfeng and introduced the situation of the enemy opposite.He added, “We roughly judge that the enemy has come to 50,000 men.”

In the telescope, Gaohong's camp is very strict.There were very few people walking around the barracks, and the ranks were clean and quiet.More than a dozen guns were placed around the battalion gate, which was not the appearance of the old artillery of the Ming Army at all, and had been changed to the style of the Western-style long-barreled heavy guns.

These new gun barrels are thick, and the muzzle is gradually thickening from the muzzle to the end of the gun, and more can be used for loading.The gun body has a cylindrical gun ear, which can be easily installed on a wheeled gun frame and can mediate high and low angles for aiming.However, these guns are two tons, and they must be transported by human and animal power on the rugged road, and I do not know how many people are dying of slavery.

In contrast, the battalion of the "Revolutionary Army" with the same power is less than half a ton, and there is a special four-wheeled heavy-duty gun truck transportation, which has been plagued by the current tattered road.

“After the other side set up the camp, they turned away at me to close the wall, and their artillery could hit thousands of meters as far as they could, and although they did not hit our personnel, they also hit the wall many times.”The tall cow pointed to a few white points outside the gate wall, "That was all shot by the artillery in Gaohong."We have returned fire with fort guns, which has not worked well.”

Even if the machinery factory of the "Revolutionary Army" has a lot of black technology, it is still impossible to make the artillery accurately hit enemy artillery thousands of meters away.Zhou Qingfeng observed in the telescope, he found that the artillery of the building was trained well, and they not only built a solid gun, but also specially built a thick chest wall in front of the gun.

Unless the artillery of the "Revolutionary Army" can accurately hit the gap that is a few meters wide on the chest wall of the enemy's gun, it will not destroy the other party at all.When Zhou Qingfeng put down the telescope, he felt inexplicable - the artillery of the slaves was too professional, and the handling of details was completely standardized, which was like a group of barbarians who could teach the technical army?

"There's something wrong."The chorus muttered.There are many artillery pieces in the Ming Army, and it is not surprising that Gao Hongzhong can also control the artillery after landing.The artillery of the Ming army is very rotten, and if they have evolved so quickly in a year, no one believes it.

The trouble at hand is more than the enemy suddenly becoming stronger.

The "Revolutionary Army" used great financial resources and manpower to develop agriculture and manage the population, and was conservative in the construction of military forces and pursued elite soldiers.At present, Zhou Qingfeng's men have only ten brigades and 50,000 regular troops, even if it is the two infantry brigades that have recently been trained, the force is still not enough to occupy all the cities in the area under its control.

This practice is to learn the lessons of Ming Ting, the Ming Army is very large, but the quality of the soldiers is very poor.Even if the soldiers are bad, they are still scattered everywhere with beans.The result is that you can only guard the city and wait for the enemy to break through.Zhou Qingfeng prefers a small number of elite soldiers, but also has the ability to fight with the enemy field.The city was handed over to specialized militiamen and garrison units.

However, at present, Zhou Qingfeng's strength is still too limited, and he gathered five brigades to capture Beijing.It is easy to take down Beijing, but the five brigades have to be separated from multiple directions, and the Ming Army, which also has to be pressured and surrendered, is really busy.The mountain customs side is extremely important, but only a brigade of tall cattle can come.

Du Song was originally the general of the mountain customs, and when he saw that Beijing was finished, he simply surrendered.But his tens of thousands of soldiers bravely to accept the integration, to be screened, to control.This puts a lot of pressure on the cows.

The tall bulls were five thousand, and the five thousand militiamen.This point is not enough to defend the mountain customs, and it is impossible to let the tens of thousands of people under Du Song's hands.So when Gao Hongzhong's dog traitor swaggered with the soldiers to kill, he could only watch, at most sent some cavalry to harass.

“These tens of thousands of people are strange.Most of them are the Ming army of the past, just changing some firearms and equipment.But the spirit is not the same as it used to be.”Gao Dao said: "My cavalry has repeatedly fought with the enemy, and at present it can still control the situation, but the enemy's combat power will increase rapidly."In particular, the enemy has also begun to use infantry phalanxes combined with hot and cold weapons.”

According to the early intelligence investigation, the formation of this unit in Gao Hongzhong has evolved from the old pure cold weapons phalanx to a small number of Spanish phalanxes equipped with fire.About one-tenth of the force was equipped with fire thorns, and the spear infantry formed a powerful but clumsy all-directional phalanx.

The IDF, adapted by the Guards, is evolving towards an all-fire phalanx and entering an era of gun-assisted queuing.But Zhou Qingfeng must admit that the enemy is also improving, and the speed is very fast.He groaned on the wall for a while, and guessed in his heart, "The Macau Portuguese who had been closed by Ming Ting were afraid to go to the side of the building."

Since the fight of Nurhachi has been brainwashed, the ability to control the bottom has greatly improved the "revolutionary army" infiltration of Liaodong Liaoxi.Many intelligence officers have lost contact or have difficulty passing intelligence, and Zhou Qingfeng is now unclear about what happened to the enemy.

After taking the city of Beijing, Zhou Qingfeng blocked the way for the construction of slaves to obtain material assistance from the Han people.He then wanted to take a step back a little, so that he could complete the fourth phase of the army and complete the 100,000 army forces.But the appearance of Gao Hongzhong disrupted his thinking, when he stood to the city of the mountain customs, he knew that Nurhachi was coming to work hard with him.

"Gao Hongzhong is just cannon fodder."Zhou Qingfeng said with great certainty: "Nurhachi will not be so stupid, he knows that the mountain customs city is strong, and the Liaxi Corridor is particularly narrow by the sea."Here is suitable for our "revolutionary army" heavy fire style, even if he has 50,000 people, how long can he resist?"

Is it in his mind that this is a suspect who deliberately killed him?After attracting the main force of the "Revolutionary Army", he secretly sent troops to launch an attack from the Haigai area on the east side - this is the easiest path, after all, the road from Shenyang to Liaoyang to Haizhou is better.In war, road conditions are an important factor in determining victory or defeat.

However, the construction of slaves is not stupid, Haizhou may be good to fight, but the terrain of Gezhou is similar to the mountain customs, which also jams the enemy's ability to attack.If the other wants to win, they are afraid to shed their blood.

Or if the slaves want to attack Liaonan from the east of Dan, they can also come from the direction of Mongolia to attack Gyeonggi.But neither of these roads is easy.If the defense is the Ming army, the construction of slaves may still be successful.But now the "revolutionary army" army morale is strong, the organization of high degree of courage in the field war to die, it is not so easy to succeed.

And now there is no movement in the other direction except for the mountain customs.

Noorhachi, what do you want?

Zhou Qingfeng held the wall by hand, and thought in his heart about the arrangement of the two sides.He finally said, “No matter what the enemy does.”We hit us.The dog traitor in Gao Hongzhong dared to go four hundred miles into the Liaxi Corridor, and when we came to show off our eyelids, we would let this guy go up in the air.”

Even if the enemy has 50,000 troops, Zhou Qingfeng is still not afraid.He believes that his own fire advantage can completely defeat each other.“Order Tianjin to transfer a convoy in the direction of Tianjin to bring the newly formed 11th Brigade of the National Defense Force by sea to the Shan Customs.”

A brigade defends the mountain customs without problems, but it is really difficult to defeat the enemy enemy who is ten times more in the field.Especially if this enemy does not know where to learn something, it is more difficult to do.

Since the Liaxi Corridor is dependent on the sea, Zhou Qingfeng intends to transfer one more trip from the sea to go behind Gaohong.Unless Gao Hong has the ability of the "Red Army of Workers and Peasants", he can still maintain a tenacious fighting spirit and even counter-attack ability in the dilemma of backward equipment and backwardness, he will die.

"Nurhachi did not want to mobilize the old man's strength, so he sent me a piece of fat in vain."Zhou Qingfeng's disdainful cold grunt, "This is also too small to look at me, whether he is poisoned bait or fat, Lao Tzu three or five in two, will give him a mouthful of food."

The order of the transfer was quickly passed from Jia Gang's mind to Tianjin, and the 11th Brigade, who had just stepped out of the boot camp, was loaded on a dozen 500-ton transport barges, and arrived at the customs of the mountain in the sudden sound of the steam engine.

Due to the complex structure of the regular sea vessels, the construction speed is slow.The number of old-fashioned two-thousand-thick sailboats was not enough and the carrying capacity was low, so the Jinzhou Shipyard of the "Revolutionary Army" has been producing 500 tons of its own-powered barges.

The barge structure is simple, the space is large, the construction is fast, and the use of a small steam engine with 100 horsepower can also run, especially suitable for the distance between the ports of the Bohai Sea, and the sea is relatively calm "small bath tub".The entire transport process of this brigade took only three days and is highly efficient in the current era.

But when the 11th Brigade arrived at the mountain customs to prepare for the landing operations behind the enemy, new information came again - Jiannu sent a group of about 30,000 soldiers and horses from Jinzhou to the south into the Liaxi Corridor, just stationed in Ningyuan City.

The force was only 120 kilometers from the mountain customs, and if it was fast, it would probably meet with Gaohong Central within three days.This time, the army came from Huo Guthai.

This situation is delicate.

What does it mean to not understand that Nurhachi is doing this?But after he got the information, he only hesitated for two or three seconds, and drank viciously: "I did a table of wine, and two table guests came."But regardless of it so much, white meat is good, tiger mouth teeth or teeth, the old man snatched in front of the guulti to pick up the dog thief in Gaohong.Let the slaves look away!”
