The first thousand two hundred and ninety-three chapters of the unification of China, the sun never sets (twelve)
Fu Ruige, deputy director of Zhengyixing Camp, designated by Emperor Zhang Ping'an as the front line, fell sea water on the way to the beach. The low tide of the sea is full of rocks. In order to avoid hidden dangers, deep-draft gunships sail into the deep sea. Even the smaller sentry ships had to evade backward due to their increase in size. In fact, the Chinese army is the most vulnerable on the beach at this time, and they will lose the support of the navy artillery. Although heavy artillery can be shot on the beach, dozens of master gunships with the main guns of Zhenzi monks at this time need to be cooled and rested due to long-term shelling. Most of the main guns of the sentry ships are eight kilograms of heavy artillery, and their range is completely unavailable.
Compared with the main warships, the range of the 10-pound and 12-pound artillery was insufficient, which also caused a decrease in accuracy. It can be said that the naval land war camp landed on the beach was at the most dangerous moment. Commander Fu Ruige was very upset today. Emperor Zhang Ping'an assigned him to command the shore. First, the centipede clutch was riding on the reef and fell into the water. Fu Ruige finally replaced the new ship and arrived at the coast. There were wounded soldiers who were urgently transported to the medical department. Faced with the chaotic beach, Commander Fu Ruige was very annoyed. What made Fu Ruige even more upset was that Emperor Zhang Ping'an asked him to command a mixed army composed of various units.
The commander Fu Ruige and his staff were escorting the guards through the beach. The stretchers were flying back and forth, and the female guards who rescued them often put cloth strips of different colors on the wounded to indicate the degree of injury. The auxiliary soldiers transferred the critical red wounded to the centipede clutch according to the color of the cloth strips attached to the wounded stretcher. Originally, Zhang Yuhai, the commander of the navy land battle camp, was the main general here, and Emperor Zhang Ping'an deprived Zhang Yuhai of command at the order. Zhang Yuhai felt great ashamed of Emperor Zhang Ping'an's decree. Emperor Zhang Ping'an rarely showed mercy on the battlefield.
, coupled with Zhang Ping'an's reputation as the God of War, no one in the Chinese army dared to question the emperor's appointment of the chief general. The first thing Fu Ruige has to do now is to understand the distribution of troops on the beach. Fortunately, the divisions of the Yixing Camp are very familiar with each other and have fought together on multiple battlefields, so it is not too difficult to coordinate the battlefield. With the emperor's military order, and Fu Ruige's position is higher than that of Zhang Yuhai, the commander of the Land Battle Battalion, Fu Ruige calls the land battle camp with its military staff to adjust the battlefield. Fu Ruige expanded the beachhead position by another circle, and the scouts warriors with rich experience in garrisoning combat, the inner circle is the main force of the Navy Land Battle Battalion.
Fu Ruige was somewhat worried about commanding the Land Battle Camp. It was better for the navy to be under the jurisdiction of the Zhengyixing Camp in the past. Now the navy is assigned to the emperor's personal command. Fu Ruige wants to leave some face to the generals of the Land Battle Camp. Fu Ruige found Zhang Yuhai, the commander of the Land Battle Camp, and determined in detail the division of labor between the night battles. Fu Ruige was responsible for the periphery, while Zhang Yuhai stabilized the inside. Soon, Zhao Sidao, chief of staff of the Zhengyixing Camp, also arrived at the beach. He explained to the staff and the inspectors the key points to pay attention to when setting up the night battles. This time, Zhao Sidao came to the beach with the main purpose of transporting away the wounded people in the battle today.
There were only five naval ships in the army. In today's battle, it was almost certain that they could not accommodate so many wounded soldiers. Emperor Zhang Ping'an ordered the recruitment of cargo ships from civilian ships to treat the wounded. When there were 13,000 warships on the beach, Fu Ruige, the head general of the front line, felt much more at ease. In the past, the Jurchens always boasted that they were invincible, but in the end they bragged about their ranks. In Liaodong, even if Han men and Jurchen women gave birth to mixed Han people with Jurchen blood, no one dared to admit that they had a full blood, for fear that they would be undesirable disasters if they said too much.
About 3,000 auxiliary soldiers of the navy landed in this battle. They were fixing wooden stakes in groups of three or five, and then combining the trestle components with wooden stakes. The Mughals also fired artillery shells from time to time to harass the Chinese army's beachheads. The Chinese army, who were used to the big scenes, were angry in the face of the constant harassment. The sudden launch of the shell was very scary. The most difficult person on the landing ground was the auxiliary soldiers. They transported ammunition to build a plank road and carried stretchers to transport the wounded. The six thousand scout veterans on the outer defense line were very experienced. They had a lot of experience. They had a full dinner check.
After checking the weapons, they fell asleep. They all knew that night battles were usually in the middle of the night. It was better to keep the spirits first while the enemy was still preparing for the war. The scouts could sleep, and the main general Fu Ruige patroled the battlefield while the enemy was harassed artillery. He ordered a three-foot iron pot filled with fish oil sixty feet in front of the position, and placed wooden stakes around it, and lit them when it darkened. The auxiliary soldiers built a semi-closed bunker for Fu Ruige at the south side of the outer position. The bunker had just been repaired by enemy shells, and a stray bullet hit the cover sandbag and formed a large hole.
The best way to defend against live artillery bombardment is thick sandbags, and the shells hit it at most can hear a scream. Your Majesty Fu Rui ordered that enough surveillance scouts must be left on the three and a half-moon positions, and it will be rotated every hour. Scout veterans can sleep carelessly, and the main general of Fu Rui Pavilion must not slack off. In other words, at the first update, the front-line surveillance scouts discovered something strange. The war had long driven away the birds and beasts in the forest during the day, and the occasional sound of cannons exploded particularly at night. The auxiliary soldiers on the eastern coast tamped the wooden piles and did not suppress them.
The broken branches were made from the forest. There were not so many specialties on the battlefield. The scout who observed the enemy situation kicked the brothers who had just fallen asleep with his feet and asked them to get up and fight with weapons. Instead of using the ammunition on the back, the veterans grabbed a few buns of bullets from the back and placed them on the protective wall in front of them. Winning time on the battlefield can save their lives. After the bullets they carried on were fired and then they could take them away, it is very likely that the enemy had rushed to the front, and there was no time for you to get the ammunition behind. The soldiers on the front line of the Chinese Army were about to stop and the Mughal army artillery roared instantly.
Although the Mughal artillery is not very accurate in live ammunition, their target is very clear, that is, to destroy six ammunition storage points twenty feet behind the Chinese army's outer positions. Fu Ruige, the commander of the front line, looked at the enemy's shell points carefully, and couldn't help but secretly praise the enemy's intentions. After finally meeting a difficult enemy, it aroused Fu Ruige's high fighting spirit. Fu Ruige asked the staff to send a message to Zhang Yuhai on the rear position, asking him to prepare six thousand combat soldiers, of which three thousand were used for reinforcements, and the other three thousand counterattacks were fought at the time. Fu Ruige also drove away all the auxiliary soldiers on the peripheral front, leaving only five.
More than a hundred female guards rescued the wounded. Mughal artillery was already slow to fight, and although the accuracy was insufficient, it did not cause casualties to the Chinese army. After all, live ammunition was not easy to form a jump in the sand. The thick sandy guard wall absorbed the impact of live ammunition. Apart from the soft numbness coming from the armor, the Chinese soldiers lying on the guard wall, there was no substantial damage. Shortly after the cannons stopped, the fire ignited in front of the position reflected the enemy's figure. Countless Mughal soldiers shouting and impacting appeared in the dark. They were mainly infantry, wearing half-body leather armor at the front, holding spears or holding round shield swords.
Since the enemy has appeared, the Chinese army's muskets are facing the heavy rain of bullets. The Chinese army is very particular when placing the illuminated fires. The staggered fires will not be easily extinguished by the enemy, and can effectively mark the distance between the enemy from the position. Mughal commander Aurangzeb sent 5,000 infantry for this night attack. He mainly wanted to test the opponent's ability to fight at night. Aurangzeb, who stood on the high trunks to watch the battle, could clearly see his army's charge under the enemy's fires. However, the Mughal soldiers who kept falling to the ground and dying in this charge always let
People felt inexplicably tragic. The Mughal soldiers who were hit by bullets ended their lives in a wailing voice. They seemed particularly small in the harsh battlefield. In just half an hour, only more than a thousand Mughal soldiers were left to stand. Faced with the invincible ending, the surviving Mughal soldiers chose to escape from the battlefield. For such one-sided battle, the veterans of the Chinese army scouts had no sense of accomplishment. They mocked their opponents for their weakness. After the enemy fled from the shooting range, the veterans again took ammunition from the rear to continue sleeping.
The sound of muskets on the beach was very far away at night. This sound made Emperor Zhang Ping'an on the "Ping'an" gunship a little surprised. He did not expect that the Mughals' front-line master would make such a low-level mistake. Emperor Zhang Ping'an's mind was similar to Fu Ruige on the front line. They all believed that tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers on the beach could withstand the enemy's night attack. Zhang Ping'an, who was idle, reviewed the memorials sent a few days ago at night. Most of these memorials were old things from more than ten days ago or a month ago. What he was concerned about was the repair of the Yellow River. As for the open and secret struggles between ministers in the court, Zhang
Ping'an always pays attention to the balance between forces, and he will never let any force grow bigger. Zhang Sixian and Zhang Siyi, who were with Zhang Ping'an, were sleepy and couldn't open their eyes to sleep on the carpet in the study. Zhang Ping'an walked up to them and covered his grandchildren with a thin silk quilt. Among Zhang Ping'an's more than a dozen grandchildren, he liked Zhang Shangwu's eldest son Zhang Sixian the most. This child was very happy to please Zhang Ping'an. Zhang Sixian's tone was like Zhang Ping'an's rebirth. Even the governor of the three provinces Lu Xiangsheng said that this child was very similar to his figure who had faced Jiannu decades ago.
Although Zhang Ping'an became emperor and liked to provoke court struggles, he suffered repeated setbacks in the issue of choosing an heir. According to what Zhang Ping'an thought in his heart, his son Zhang Shangwu's decision to kill was a good candidate. Unfortunately, Zhang Shangwu's mother Lu Ruge was eager for quick success and instant benefits and offended a large group of military generals. In addition, Zhang Shangwu still lacked experience in his work and was not smooth enough in his life, so that most generals in the Chinese army opposed Zhang Shangwu's succession as the commander. In order to maintain stability at the critical moment of the change of dynasty, Zhang Ping'an had to give up his son Zhang Shangwu. Now, Zhang Ping'an has another son,
The son Zhang Shangren has grown up, and his mind has become a little wild. The biggest disadvantage of Zhang Shangren's desire to ascend the throne is that his dead mother is not in high status. In order to maintain the tradition of the eldest son of Confucianism inheriting the family business, Zhang Ping'an did not intend to let Zhang Shangren take over the throne. Therefore, Zhang Ping'an chatted with Zhang Li and Hu Ming before the war, and drove these two powerful figures to the west to be crowned king. The Mughal army, who failed at night, evacuated the battlefield overnight, and his commander Aurangzebu led his troops to the depths of the forest to the west. He wanted to fight the Chinese army on a brand new battlefield. (To be continued)
