Liaodong Lushunkou.
On this day, the Manchurian Tartars strolled around leisurely as usual, occasionally lashing out with their whips to urge their slaves to work.
The Manchu Tartars practiced the Eight Banners system. Ever since Huang Jitai took over the throne, they had been conquering the east and west. First, they conquered Mongolia, taking down Monan Mongolia, and then North Korea, taking over the entire northeast.
The sparsely populated Manchu Tartars were founded on flag soldiers.
The so-called Eight Banners system was actually an outdated farming system that was used by the Chinese ancestors during the Spring and Autumn Period. He cultivated the land for the peasants during normal times and became a soldier during wartime.
This was because the Manchu Tartars were primitive people without any civilization. They hunted for a living, so they were all extremely strong and powerful.
In reality, the Eight Banners of the Manchu Tartars were very weak in terms of organization, apart from their individual combat strength.
During the ten years that Huang Jitai was in power, the Eight Banners Soldiers relied on their strategic advantage to control the initiative in battle. From time to time, they would enter the pass, attack cities, seize land, and plunder food, cattle, sheep, and people.
Every few years, they would come and use their greatest strength to weaken the power of the Great Ming north.
In the 15th year of Chongzhen last year, while the main force of Ming Dynasty was killing Li Zicheng's refugee army in Henan, he ordered Abbatai to lead the army to break through the wall at Jieling Pass and Huangyan Pass respectively and drive straight down.
They fought all the way to Yanzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province, including the three prefectures, eighteen prefectures, and sixty-seven counties. They seized 2,250 taels of gold, 2,255,270 taels of silver, 369,000 captured civilians, and a large number of cattle, horses, and clothes.
It could be said to be a wave of fat!
Two years ago, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhou, he defeated the Ming army on the Songjin battlefield and captured Hong Chengchou alive. After that, Zu Dashou in Jin Zhou City was isolated and helpless. He was trapped for a year before surrendering.
This battle wiped out all the military forces outside Great Ming Pass in one go.
At the same time, they had lost all the cities outside the pass, except for Ning Yuan!
He had won two great battles against Da Ming in a row.
The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty had looted a large amount of money and slaves.
All of them were rich and fat, living the life of a noble.
At this moment, the Manchu Tartars 'strength had reached an unprecedented peak. They had already set their sights on the Central Plains and were prepared not to pillage once before leaving. Instead, they wanted to become the masters of the Central Plains.
They also had this confidence. According to the Manchu Eight Banners Army system, 300 people were a cow, 1,500 people were a horse, and five horses were a flag.
Each banner had a total of 7,500 people, while the eight banners had a total of 60,000 people.
However, in order to monopolize power, Huang Jitai no longer set up the Manchu army flag, but added basic formations such as Niulu and Jiala to increase the Manchu army's strength.
At the same time, they also set up the Han Army Eight Banners and the Meng Army Eight Banners.
A total of 24 flags!
It could be said that the current Manchu Empire had more than 200,000 regular soldiers!
Two hundred thousand elite soldiers, to the current Da Ming, was an extremely powerful force.
It was no wonder that the Manchu Tartars would have ambitions for the Central Plains.
With strength, one would naturally have ambitions that matched his strength.
After two consecutive victories, the Manchu Tartars were filled with pride and arrogance.
Ever since Lushunkou was conquered, no Ming army had come to harass them. It was peaceful all year round and the Manchu Tartar Banners here were extremely arrogant and contemptuous.
They did not expect that someone would dare to offend Hu Xu and attack Lushunkou at this time!
Therefore, when they saw the endless number of massive warships outside Lushunkou Port, they were all stunned for a long time.
They were both shocked by the enemy who had suddenly attacked them and by the huge ship that they had never seen before.
The Tartars that came out of the mountain nests usually only saw canoes, and the biggest ones were just fishing boats.
He had never seen a battleship that was as big as a small mountain on the sea.!
It would be strange if he wasn't shocked!
"Enemy, enemy attack!"
"Enemies are coming!"
" Quickly grab your weapons!!"
“.....”
When the ballista bolts from the warships rained down on them, the banner soldiers were strung together like candy-sugar gourds. They were all dead, and all the Tartars screamed in pain.
It had to be said that the Manchu Tartars were very tough. Even if there was a huge disparity in strength, they did not know what fear was. They rushed into their homes and prepared to take out their armor, bows, and horses to fight.
However, their reaction speed was too slow. By the time they put on their weapons and equipment, thousands of fully armed soldiers had already boarded the dock.
In this era, the speed was unbelievably fast. The entire army lined up and fired three waves of arrows at once, knocking down a bunch of Tartar soldiers who had yet to form a formation.
Then, the sword-shield soldiers and spearmen rushed forward like a beehive, cutting down the people in front of them.
The two naval fleets of Weihai and Chengshan boarded the dock and rushed into the city gate of Lushunkou at the fastest speed.
The ambush this time was too sudden. The banner soldiers of the Manchu Tartars did not have time to gather. They were scattered in one fell swoop and surrounded to death.
The individual bravery that they were proud of was useless in front of a coordinated army!
The armor that they regarded as their treasure was pierced through by the spears of the spearmen!
The heavy bows and arrows that they relied on had met their natural enemy in front of the Weihai Army's steel armor and helmet. The heavy arrows fired at close range could not penetrate the Weihai Army's armor!
Compared to Courage God, who had pierced through the Ming army's armor with a single arrow, he was practically trash!
Caught off guard, they were defeated one after another. Some fled in defeat, and Lushunkou was handed over to others.
