Juehua Island is located ten kilometers southeast of Ningyuan, and this location can be said to be specially prepared for Ningyuan City. The Jurchens did not have a sailor, and if they stored food and materials on this island, the Jurchens could only sigh and sigh, and there was nothing they could do. This is also one of the reasons why Sun Chengzong built a city here and built a defense line in history.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao's purpose is also here, he will settle on Juehua Island, and then wait here quietly for the arrival of Nuer Hachi.

Juehua Island is located in the Bohai Bay, very close to Tianjin, and at this time, although the navigation technology of the Ming Dynasty has lagged behind the West, there is still no problem for offshore navigation, not to mention that the naval fleet still absorbs the essence of the entire Ming Dynasty sailors, then it is even more no problem.

After about ten days of sailing, they could already see the island in the distance, and behind the island, there was a brown coastline. The reason why so much time is spent is that they don't just sail, a lot of the Navy's training is done while sailing.

For example, artillery combat technology, such as the drill of tactical movements, the control of soft sails, the command of artillery salvos, etc., the navy is much more technical than the army, and it is far from being enough to train sails in the port.

However, this little time actually does not allow them to practice any skills, but only allows them to familiarize themselves with the tools in their hands. Fortunately, the enemy he faced this time did not have the slightest coastal defense capability, and it was nothing to make some mistakes on his side, so it should be exercised.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be a little glad that his navy faced the enemy for the first time, when the Jurchens were in the current state of the navy, it was easy to say that they could run away if they couldn't beat the pirates who were fighting in gangs along the coast of China, but if they were facing those jackals from the West who had traveled across the ocean, then the result would not be easy to say.

"However, after this voyage, the navy is initially integrated, and after the experience of the first voyage, the rest of the things are easy to do, and the rest is only the accumulation and improvement of technology." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he looked at the fleet that was much smoother and neater than the previous few days.

Just as he was thinking quietly, Juehua Island arrived, at this time, the environment in Liaodong was harsh, the temperature was extremely low, and the development degree of the entire Northeast was very low, not to mention the pirates here. However, Juehua Island is too close to Ningyuan, and fishermen often go out to sea to fish, and occasionally settle here to rest.

As a result, it's not all deserted, with rudimentary docks and traces of human activity in some of the easy places to dock along the seashore.

Soon, after some searching, the naval fleet found a bay large enough, and the protruding part of the bay was good to keep the wind and waves out, leaving a rare tranquility.

With a place to dock, the rest is easy to say, it is nothing more than to build a dock, transport people and materials to the island, and then start construction. Among the materials this time, there is a batch of cement, although the quantity is not large, but it can open up a small military base.

As for the masonry, it is even simpler, just mine it on the spot, there are not many other islands, but there are a lot of stones. As for manpower, there is no shortage of them, and a full 30,000 Yulin troops can be used casually. Oh no, it should be the 25,000 Yulin Army, Li Tu's cavalry did not follow the sea route, but set off from Shanhaiguan, and at this time it should have almost arrived in Ningyuan.

"Next, it's time to wait for news from Sun Chengzong." Looking at the flying clipper boat that was gradually moving away, Zhu Youxu Jiao smiled faintly.

Next, it was to wait quietly, but just waiting, Zhu Youxiao was not idle, first sent someone to contact Li Tu, and transported all the cavalry to the sea, after all, five thousand cavalry troops are not a small number, a large number of physiological activities can not be covered up at all, if not sent to Juehua Island, the Jurchen will definitely find out.

The army stayed on the island for acclimatization training, and the navy was not idle, they roamed the sea unscrupulously, constantly conducting all kinds of training, shelling, broadside tactics, and spinnaker maneuvering techniques. At this time, the Daifuku who found the Great Buddha Crane before played a huge role, and his skillful technology made the nascent Imperial Navy grow rapidly.

After settling down, Zhu Youxiao also resumed contact with the Beijing Division, as for the messengers, it was the two flying clippers, at their speed, it only took four days to make a round trip, which was very fast. Later, Zhu Youxiao even sent the Fuchuan transportation team back once, transported a large amount of materials, especially cement, and built this temporary base.

In this way, it took another half a month, and the plan he formulated to hunt the Jurchens gradually entered the third stage. Although this time was somewhat unexpected by Zhu Youxiao, and it took more than ten days, the process did not change much.

Sun Degong smoothly contacted Li Yongfang, and he was naturally bought by the high price offered by the other party, and the reward he paid was Guangning City, the last stronghold of the Ming army in Liaodong.

The first year of the Great Apocalypse, April 7.

Sun Chengzong's trust, which was quite meritorious, was stationed alone at a city gate, and this position provided great convenience for him to dedicate Guangning.

Under Sun Chengzong's deliberate performance before, his Liaodong could not be defended, and the remarks about quickly withdrawing to the Guannai were widely spread, at this time there were no more residents in Guangning City, all of them were soldiers, and a large number of supplies, such as cattle and sheep grain, and these were bait, props to lure Nuer Hachi to be fooled.

Of course, nominally, Sun Chengzong planned to transport it back to Guannai in order to escape responsibility. As for the transporters, they were naturally more than 100,000 soldiers collected throughout Liaodong.

"It's almost time, it's time!" Sun Degong looked at the sun, stood at the gate of the city and waited a little anxiously. He was surrounded by a group of people whose expressions were similar to his, all anxious and worried.

Thundered!

Suddenly, a loud roar came from afar, gradually getting closer and closer, and Sun Degong, who was at the border pass, knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, which was the sound of a large number of cavalry galloping in.

"It's coming!" Sun Degong's eyes lit up, and then he made a gesture, which meant that he was ready to make a move.

Although he was ready to surrender, he couldn't get everyone to join him, and his men had some unwilling people, and he was ready to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with them.

"Enemy attack!" The soldier god on the watchtower shouted, but before he could shout the second sentence, he was solved by the companions next to him, and then, there was a sudden attack, Sun Degong's cronies quickly killed the soldiers at the city gate, and after that, the entire city gate was opened, and the defense ability was completely lost.

At this point, Sun Degong was still dissatisfied, he gritted his teeth, turned around and ran inside with his cronies, shouting as he ran, "The city is broken, the Jurchens have attacked!" ”

The appearance of the Jurchen made the situation change instantly, and the entire Ningyuan was completely chaotic, with Sun Degong constantly spreading fear in the front, and the Jurchen Iron Cavalry in the back, the entire Ming army rushed in this short quarter of an hour, and everyone rushed out of the city to escape from here.

"Let's go." Sun Chengzong glanced at the lost city gate from afar, and then set off with the four general soldiers who had been prepared, behind them, there were tens of thousands of soldiers who had long been under control, and the soldiers drove carriages and transported a huge amount of supplies, and in the city, the remaining tight was only enough for the Jurchens to eat for a few days.

These carriages were all built these days, since they wanted to use the materials of the entire Liaodong as bait, how could Sun Chengzong not be prepared. He had been transporting grain through Ningyuan and storing it in a location before, and now this batch is the last one.

Zhu Youxiao was reluctant to burn the millions of loads of food and materials accumulated in Liaodong for many years, and he still hoped to rely on these to initially stabilize Liaodong.

A large number of residents and supplies kept crossing Ningyuan and transporting them to the pass, which made Nuer Hachi very red-eyed, and he wanted to take it for himself now. However, Xiao Xiong is Xiao Xiong, he restrained his desires and carefully tested Sun Degong, and then believed his words, made an appointment with the time, and attacked Guangning by surprise.

Just like the last raid on Liaoyang, Nuer Hachi broke through the city almost without encountering any resistance, this phenomenon not only did not make him feel abnormal and uneasy, but he really thought that his destiny was unstoppable.

Nuer laughed, and then began to loot the whole city, searching for supplies.

Quang Ninh is a military city, there is not a single civilian, and the soldiers have already run and died, and no one remains in the city, so the Jurchen search did not find any living people, only some supplies that seemed to be too late for the other party to move.

However, these supplies are far from enough, and after being transported back, he can only barely let the clansmen survive this cold winter, which is simply not enough, and he needs more supplies and slaves.

"Great Khan, I found the trace of Sun Chengzong, and the other party left with someone to transport supplies three hours ago." Two days later, just as Nuer Hachi was disappointed with the collected supplies, Daishan sent him exciting news.

"The whole army is in pursuit!" Leaving some people to transport supplies and slowly follow, Nuer Hachi did not hesitate at all, he took all the men and horses to chase after him.

Sun Chengzong's lead ran away, making the situation in Quang Ninh irreparable, and the non-core troops were instantly dispersed and fled in all directions. It's just that the number of people gathered by his troops is too obvious, so that countless routs unconsciously converge.

Thus, although their party set out two days early, they were still embellished by the Jurchens before dark on the third day of their departure from Quang Ninh. However, because it was getting dark, there was no attack, and they planned to wait until dawn.

The night was soon deep, Sun Chengzong's camp was on extraordinary alert, always guarding against the night attack of the Jurchens, and at this time, the fall of Guangning, with the escape of countless routs, quickly spread, and Zhu Youxiao's personnel left in Ningyuan also quickly confirmed the news and passed it to him.

"It's time to go!" Zhu Youxiao strode around and walked towards the camp, "Order, the whole army pack up their equipment and board the ship!" ”
