Chapter 933 The real arrogance

Kong Youde was a veteran on the battlefield and fought for half his life. After he arrived at Nanguan, he observed for a moment and understood the weaknesses of Ganjun.

The troops were too small, but they tried to block the Nanguan Pass. The Gan Army could not build a defense line connecting the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. They could only find a few support points and use artillery to block the road.

These support points, that is, the hills occupied by the Gan army, separated from each other, giving him the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

However, with such an arrangement, the Qing army could not defeat the Gan army in one battle, and the Gan army's strongholds must be removed one by one.

The commander of the Gan Army was delaying time. Kong Youde was sure that it would not take long before the subsequent Gan Army would board the ship from Shandong and cross the sea.

Kong Youde naturally would not let the Gan army succeed. He would annihilate all the landing Gan army before the Gan army reinforcements arrived.

Seeing that the Qing army's frontal attack had attracted the firepower of the Gan army, Kong Youde made a quick decision and immediately ordered the army to encircle the two wings.

With a command, the two Qing troops immediately came out of the battle, and they bypassed the front of the mountain and attacked both sides.

The command post of the Gan Army was located near the temporary dock. Huang Degong saw more than a thousand Qing troops running to the flank of the mountain from the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, and immediately waved: "Send a signal! Please support the navy's artillery fire."

When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately took out a rocket, rushed into the sky with a "whisper" and then exploded suddenly.

On the distant military fleet, Huang Fei saw the signal and immediately took out a thousand-mile mirror and looked at the shore. In the circular vision, a soldier waved his flag and conveyed military orders to the fleet.

Huang Fei followed the soldiers' flag-waving action and said in a deep voice: "The Qing army deviated from the flanks of the Great Wilderness Mountains, and asked the navy's naval naval guns to support it and bombard the attacking enemy."

After seeing the signal, Huang Fei couldn't help but shout, "Send all ships to lean on, and fire the enemy on the flanks of the Great Wilderness Mountain to give them some color."

The flagship hung up the flag-words. Five gunboats sailed to the shore while opening the gun window. One cannon was pushed into the gun position, and the black-hole muzzle extended out. As the hull was adjusted, it aimed at the flank of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

Under the Qing army's banner, Kong Youde stared at the battlefield. Seeing the roundabout Qing army climbing up from the flank, he was quite satisfied.

The arrangement of Ganjun allows him to concentrate his superior forces and fight less, destroy Ganjun one by one.

At this time, Kong Youde seemed to have seen the scene of the Qing army rushing to the mountain and planting the Huanglong flag, but at this moment, the generals around him suddenly exclaimed, "Prince, look!"

Kong Youde turned his head to look when he heard the sound, and his heart suddenly became shaking, and a trace of ominous premonition arose.

The Ganchao warship, which had originally been hiding far away on the sea, was sailing towards the shore and gradually lined up in a straight line in the offshore area, aiming the pitch-black muzzles at the flanks of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

The Qing army's navy was ordinary, and there was no need to mobilize troops to fight against each other. There was no major war between the two countries at sea.

This led to the fact that although the Qing army knew the Gan Army's Land Division, they knew very little about the Gan Army's Navy.

Although Kong Youde had heard that the navy of the Gan Army was very powerful, and the cannons extended from the side of the warship could also feel the horror of the Gan Chao fleet, he had never suffered any losses after all, so he was still a little hesitant.

At this moment, the gunboat that adjusted the hull and suddenly opened fire. A loud "boom boom" sounded loudly. White smoke rose from the side of the warship. The shells of more than ten to twenty kilograms of cannonballs broke through the smoke of gunpowder and flew towards the Great Wilderness Mountain at a very fast speed.

Shocking, the Gan Army fired a naval gun with 18 to 25 to 26 kilograms of artillery shells, which was not as powerful as the Qing army's three or four kilograms of field artillery.

In the face of the roar of ship guns, the Qing army's artillery was like setting off firecrackers, and instantly dimmed.

The five warships of the Gan Army were equipped with nearly 150 artillery on the side, and fired together. The shells hit the Qing army formation group, and the earth immediately shook, causing the sky and the earth to change color.

The largest artillery of the Qing army now is still the 18-pound red-clothed cannon, but the heavy artillery of the Ganchao cannon cannon fire 25 or 6 kilograms of shells, which is equivalent to the twenty-four-pound heavy artillery in the West.

The Qing army, who was attacking the mountain, heard a loud noise behind him. Before he could react, he smashed the shells without any cause. More than twenty kilograms of iron bullets hit his body, instantly tore the Qing army to pieces, and smashed the helmet and head flattened.

The shells fell into the enemy group, and gravel and soil splashed. The Qing army suffered heavy losses and could not continue to attack under the attack of the defenders and artillery of the fleet behind them. The Qing army retreated in panic.

Kong Youde was deeply shocked by the volley of the warship fleet. He understood what was truly arrogant and knew that the Qing army could not fight within the range of the warship artillery. It was impossible for the flesh and blood to withstand the bombardment of the warship artillery.

"Boom boom boom boom!" After the fleet artillery was loaded, it chased the Qing army's defeated troops and fired another round of volleys. The shells fell to the ground and splashed with soil. The Qing army was circling around the east and rolled and crawled out.

The Qing army in the east was bombarded by ship guns. The huge movement affected the Qing army that was attacking head-on and the Qing army that deviated from the west. Their morale was shaken and they quickly retreated.

In the Ganjun command post, Huang Degong put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and said aloud: "Haha, okay! Tell the navy with flags and tell the Lu army that the Lu army would thank them for their support. I will write down their merits for them!"

Under the Qing army's flag, Kong Youde looked gloomy and watched the Qing army retreat in the wild, and his cheeks were suffocating.

"Prince, the other party has the support of naval guns, what should we do?" The side generals were worried.

One drumming will bring down again and three out. Now Kong Youde's first drumming has passed. As a veteran on the battlefield, he dare not play cards easily, so as not to be frustrated again and hurt the morale of the army.

At this time, Kong Youde snorted coldly, "Although the enemy's naval guns are powerful, they cannot reach the shore. You see, they can only bombard the east slope of Dahuang Mountain, which means that their range is limited. If you pass the order, the army will camp on the spot, and the generals will come to discuss matters, and we will re-formulate our strategy!"

...

Shandong, Dengzhou.

With Gao Huan's order, nearly a thousand military ships and merchant ships along the coast of Shandong and Jiangnan went to Denglai in a mighty manner.

The elite troops stationed in Jiangnan and Hebei also hurried to Shandong after receiving the military order.

The original plan was just a local war of 20,000 to 30,000 people. After one over, the troops and ships that were about to participate in the war had already increased by two or three times.

At this time, outside Penglai County, more than 10,000 troops who were traveling to Liaodong had boarded the troop transport ship.

Gao Huan led a group of officials to Li Chengdong and Tang Tong: "After you arrive in Liaodong, you will accept the control of Huang Degong and must defend Nanguan. When the fleet in Jiangnan arrives, you will lead the main force to board the ship and cross the sea."

Li Chengdong, Tang Tong and others immediately clasped their fists, "I will accept the order and wait for Your Majesty to arrive in Nanguan!"

Gao Huan patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Okay! Let's go!"

...

Shenyang.

In the Su Palace, Haoge had breakfast and was playing in the yard.

Suddenly, Hong Chengchou rushed over and saw Haoge in the yard. He shouted a little out of control from a distance: "Prince, Lushun urgently!"

Haoge raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "Is it Gao Huan who attacks Lushun?"

Hong Chengchou came over and handed it to him, and then said in a deep voice: "Gao Huan did attack Lushun, but the landing location was not Lushunkou, but Nanguan near Jinzhouwei!"

The Qing army built a large number of fortifications in Lushunkou, but there was nothing in Nanguan. The Gan army landed in the two places, which was completely different.

Haoge frowned and hurriedly took the military newspaper to watch. Hong Chengchou said anxiously, "King Su, the Gan army occupied Nanguan, and the food supply of the 50,000 troops in Lushun was cut off. We must rescue them."

Haoge's face was gloomy. Kong Youde's 30,000 army was the elite trained by the Qing court and the Dutch for two years.

The 30,000 people were equipped with the most advanced flintlock rifles and field artillery, which were almost the same as the elite mainland division equipment of the army. The training was trained by the Dutch and could be said to be a trump card of the Qing court.

If these 30,000 people were annihilated, it would be a huge blow to the Qing army. Moreover, the Gan army occupied Lushun and the Liaohe Plain in the heart of the Qing court, and the connection with North Korea might also be cut off by the Gan army, and the Qing court would be in a passive situation in strategic terms.

Haoge's annoyed general newspaper was crumpled into a ball, "Sir Hong, immediately call the ministers to discuss this matter!"
