Chapter 292 The Quartet is pressing(1/2)

"Tong Yangxing is not a Han person." Xiong Tingbi shook his head, but he smiled and did not want to correct the shouts of the Ming army soldiers.

He Kegang smiled and said, "The soldiers looked at the name like Han people, and they misunderstood to be traitors."

Feng Datie was a little unhappy. He originally wanted to form a formation outside the trench to compete with the Jiannu cavalry, but Xiong Tingbi rejected his proposal.

"Give Jianlu some hope." Xiong Tingbi glanced at Feng Datie and said slowly: "When the real decisive battle is right, let them despair. When cavalry battles, we have flying cavalry; infantry against cavalry, they are still no match for cavalry."

Feng Datie bowed and said, "Yes, sir, you think for the long term."

Xiong Tingbi turned his head and looked at Jiannu who had retreated in the distance, narrowed his eyes and ordered in a deep voice: "Order the entire army to prepare for the decisive battle. Tomorrow is the time for the decisive battle in the early morning."

The fall of Haicheng and the defeat in the attack was the time when the morale of the Jiannu army was depressed. Perhaps the old slave had already retreated to Liaoyang and fought against the city again.

Therefore, when the iron is hit while it is hot, use rockets to bombard, and then launch a fierce attack on the whole army, with a great chance of victory.

Cao Zhenghua, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, walked onto the general's stage, bowed and reported with a smile: "Sir Jingliu, the signal tower from Guangning to Yaozhou has been established."

As he said that, he submitted a sealed manuscript, "This is the first piece of information sent from Guangning."

Xiong Tingbi took the manuscript, took it apart and looked at it, with a surprised look on his face and said, "I sent it yesterday, and I'll be here today?"

Cao Zhenghua nodded with a smile and said, "This was sent from the Yaozhou Pegasus. When the signal tower here is completed, it will be communicated on the same day."

After pausing, he added: "According to the progress, the signal tower to Zhenjiang Fort in Liaodong will be completed within these days. The personnel have been fully equipped and communication can be carried out."

"Okay, okay." Xiong Tingbi praised repeatedly and waved his fists hard, "When our army won a great victory tomorrow, send a letter to Liaoxi immediately, and the surprise troops can attack Liaoyang."

The advancement of technology is not limited to the improvement of weapons and equipment. The acceleration of communication speed is also a key factor in winning.

The signal tower system connecting western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning was established with southern Liaoning as the command center, which means that the reaction speed of the Ming army units increased by several times.

Jiannu still has to rely on fast horses, crossing mountains and ridges, wading through mountains and rivers, or beacons, and has fallen completely behind.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and fast communication and reaction speed are definitely the key factors to win.

……………………………….

The weather is getting cooler and colder. Although it is not colder, the atmosphere of early winter has already spread to Liaodong.

Standing on the head of Hetulala, Dudu looked stern and looked east.

In his sight, the Jurchens came to the city in a panic. Looking at their appearance and their panic steps, they knew they were fleeing in a panic.

After Du Du's troops were ambushed, there were only a few hundred men left. How dare they pursue them further? They had to retreat temporarily.

But the situation changed so quickly that Du Du was off guard.

Four thousand cavalry teams, one was completely wiped out, the other lost more than half, and the other two also suffered considerable casualties in several battles with the Ming army.

If it were just like this, Du Du gathered the troops and felt that they could still support them.

However, the Ming army Mao Chenglu's mixed alliance crossed the river from Manpu to Jianzhou, swept across the eastern part of Jianzhou like wind and clouds, leading to Qingshangou, Taipingshao, Shajianzi, Huanren and other towns, and forcing towards Hetuara City.

This is not an attack or harassment, but a formal attack of siege cities and land. With the help of thousands of cavalry from Liu Xingzuo and Kong Youde, Jianzhou has no longer been able to withstand the power of this ten thousand Ming army.

In desperation, Dudu led his army to withdraw from Hetuala. While strengthening the city defense, he sent a letter to Ajige, asking him to retreat to the Yafu Pass and return to defend Hetuala.

The defense was set up at Yahu Pass, with the purpose of blocking the Ming army from entering Jianzhou to attack Hetuala. Now, the Ming army has broken through from the side and the defense of Yahu Pass is meaningless.

Of course, Du Du also knew that if the Yahuo Pass was removed from defense, the Ming army in front of the pass would inevitably advance and form a pincer attack on Hetuala.

But this is the comparison of strength between the two sides. No matter how hard the plan is, they cannot change their talents. They can only keep shrinking and wait for the change.

"Belle." The captain of the personal soldiers kept frowning at the escaped Jurchens who entered the city. At this time, he stepped forward and suggested: "The population in the city has increased, and the food and grass may be--"

Dudu smiled bitterly and said, "Let them take a break first, and then let them take shelter elsewhere."

Other places? Where is Liao Shen or a bitter and cold place to the north?

The captain of the personal soldiers opened his mouth and finally did not ask.

"King Khan led a large army to fight the Ming army to win, and he will surely win." Du Du murmured like self-comfort: "The army will come again to reinforce, and the Ming army in Liaodong can also defeat it."

There is no way. Now I don’t want to ask for help, so as not to disturb the decisive battle between the main force and the Ming army. I can only grit my teeth and hold on. It’s time to hold on for a while.

After pausing, Dudu gritted his teeth and said, "Those who don't want to leave will be distributed to all men and women, and go to the city to help with the war."

"Yes." The captain of the personal soldiers knew that Hetulal could not abandon his guard. Now it was time to seek life in death and live and die with the city.

Du Du turned his gaze to the outside of the city, but just glanced at the Jurchens who fled into the city, then looked far away and looked into the distance.

He released a team of thousands of people, which was to guard in advance and to help the fleeing tribesmen. But he was still worried that the troops would not be able to withstand great losses.

……………………………………………….

Fireworks rose, and a house was just lit by several Ming troops. Another group of Ming troops rushed up and rushed to fight the fire and rescued it.

Mao Chenglu arrived on a horse, and his face turned blue. He pointed at the firefighters and scolded: "Silly, aren't you stupid? From now on, we will be our territory and our houses, so you will burn them with fire?"

The little flag leader scratched his head and defended him: "General, did we do this before?"

"That's the past." Mao Chenglu strode over, and his saliva sprayed on the face of the small flag captain. "In the past, it was harassment, harassment was looting and destruction. Now it is to occupy and restore it, do you understand?"

"I understand." The little flag leader nodded quickly and greeted several accomplices, "Don't be stunned and put out the fire quickly. This is our house."

Mao Chenglu rolled his eyes and was helpless. He led his men to attack Jianzhou several times, and he was very familiar with burning, killing, looting. Now, if he wants to occupy it for a long time, many soldiers' thoughts have not been changed.

After getting back on the horse, Mao Chenglu continued to patrol the town. The town at that time was equivalent to the villages of later generations. There were two or three hundred households, which was already quite large in Liaodong.

Jianzhou Wei?! There will be no more in the future.

Mao Chenglu pursed his lips slightly and showed a sneer.

Hetulala, the shitty place of dragons, see grandpa razed it to the ground.

"General Mao." Several people rushed from afar. The first one was Nara Zhongming, the commander of Jianzhou Guard, who bowed to Mao Chenglu from afar.

Mao Chenglu returned the favor. Although he was not happy, his father and commander had explained that this was a arrangement of long live, and it must have a profound meaning and should not be rude to him.

"Master Commander." Mao Chenglu looked at the few real people behind Nara Zhongming, all of whom were named Yehenara and smiled and said, "Have you recruited a lot of tribe members?"

Nara Zhongming nodded and said, "Yehennara tribes and Jianlu have a deep hatred like the sea, and people come from hearing the news. When they attack Hetuara City, Yehe will definitely climb first and destroy the city and destroy the slaves."

"Okay, okay." Mao Chenglu praised his head and said, "I still have to discuss with you whether the entire army is forcing Hetuara, or the division of troops to go north to take Tonghua?"

Nara Zhongming thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, it is better for the entire army to forcing Jianlu's lair to capture Hetuala and then head north to seize Sarhu, which cut off the retreat of Jianlu in Liaoshen."

"As for Tonghua--" Nara Zhongming shook his head and said, "There are only a few Jianlu, so it is not difficult to attack. Maybe they have already fled when they hear the news."

Mao Chenglu thought for a while and said, "It's great. After a night of rest, we will advance to Hetuala."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The war horse rushed forward with an unstoppable momentum, and the saber returned with a cold light shining with blood.

After pushing the 20-person ranks, dozens of Jiannu were already corpses everywhere, leaving only a few ownerless war horses neighing and running around.

The Jurchens almost all know how to ride horses, and they are also a system that is both soldiers and civilians.

But the gap between soldiers and civilians is still very large. The hundreds of Jurchens who fled were blocked by flying cavalry. Except for a few who escaped into the mountains and forests, the rest of the fate was already destined.

After Du Du gathered his troops, there was no regular Jianlu troops that could compete with the Ming army. The thousands of mixed troops of flying cavalry and spear cavalry were enough to sweep across the board and no one could stop them.

The Ming army, which infiltrated with a small group of people, gradually joined forces, forming a large army of thousands, renowned with the cavalry and slowly pressed towards Hetuala.

"I'm going to eat horse meat again!" Kong Youde sighed, not knowing whether he was happy or sad, and he sighed, and put out the cigar in his hand.

I carried dry food with me, and it was quite successful to fight with me, but I had nowhere to buy this tobacco, so I had to save some smoking.

Seeing Kong Youde like that, Liu Xingzuo suggested: "I saw that there were soldiers smoking a cigarette pallet and could roll it on paper. The two boxes of tobacco leaves she brought could be smoked for a long time!"

Kong Youde quickly waved his hand and said, "We are an officer, how can we be like a soldier? We have no face!"

Liu Xingzuo smiled and said, "I don't have tobacco, but I like to burn the knife. It's spicy and strong enough. I feel as if I'm burning after drinking it."

"It's good to burn a knife." Kong Youde nodded in agreement and smiled: "The winery was established in Jinzhou, which was opened by a time-honored brand in Beijing. It will be convenient to drink in the future. It's better to build a cigarette factory after Pingliao."

"If there is a winery, the tobacco factory will not fall." Liu Xingzuo paused for a moment and said in an inquiring tone: "Brother Kong, do you think we should wait for a while to form a league, or--"

Kong Youde pondered for a moment and said, "Send someone to inform me. Let's move slowly. Would you like to meet in the city of Hetulala?"

Liu Xingzuo nodded and said, "This is the safest. If our army acts alone, Jiannu Ajige and Dudu join forces, they will not be sure of fighting."

"It is not easy to train a flying cavalry, so it is better to use it with caution." Kong Youde looked at the infantry behind, "As for infantry, it can be trained in at most two or three months."

Liu Xingzuo smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the infantry. If you form a formation, even the flying cavalry dare not attack easily. Moreover, because the infantry is trained quickly and the firepower is strong, the demise of Jianlu is just around the corner. The military strength advantage is something that Jianlu cannot change."

"Yes." Kong Youde nodded and said, "From the city defense to the formation of the field, the infantry made great achievements, and it destroyed the sharpness of Jianlu one after another."

Liu Xingzuo opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say that what he knew about Jianlu, but he felt that it was not a glorious thing, so he swallowed the words back.

"Hehe, there is another horse meat to eat." Looking at the battlefield where they fought, the flag officer touched the "kettle" on his waist again and grinned.

The messenger was right beside him and smiled and joked, "Sir, is the reward enough for wine?"

"Where can I buy it?" The bannerman rolled his eyes and said contemptuously: "You said that Jianlu was in this remote countryside, there was not even a store selling liquor."

The messenger said: "Sir, when I was sweeping the villages, I also found some wine."

"It's light and tasteless." The banner official shook his head, saying that he looked down on him, touching the "kettle" on his waist and sighed: "When I destroy Jianlu, I will live in Jinzhou, next to the winery. Even if I don't drink it, I feel very comfortable when I smell it."

"Will the winery recruit people in the future?" the messenger reminded with a smile.

The flag officer's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Then I will sign up, it doesn't matter how much wages are. In the winery, there are wine heads, Erguo, and whatever you want. Hahaha, I'm happy to think about it."
