Chapter 364: The East River Goes North

In the evening, when the fighting had been extinguished, Nurhachi, the kings, and Belle came to the Dusi Yamen one after another, and each occupied a few rooms to wash and rest.

Amin was ordered to lead the Yellow Banner to continue southward and left the Left Acropolis in the middle of the night.

One day, Xiong Tingbi was dispatching the generals, and suddenly heard that the defeated army was coming, the left guard had been lost, and the civil and military officials of the Liaodong Metropolitan Administration were all killed in the city.

He looked stunned, and said loudly in front of all the civil and military personnel:

"The Zou family serves the country, a loyal martyr, and the governor will report to Beijing and talk about it to help the great feat."

After saying that, he looked around at the generals and said:

"Xiong Tingbi is not talented, thanks to His Majesty's great grace, he entrusts me with Liao affairs, how dare he not be stupid? In this battle, I will do my best to defend the city to relieve the difficulties of the imperial court! ”

"Please also strictly abide by my orders and serve the saints!"

All the generals were all stunned, and said in unison:

"The last general will do his best to compete for all the work!"

......

The Dingliao Left Guard fell at such a fast speed, and it shocked the whole Liao for a while.

The Liaodong Prefecture was in the city, and its garrison heavy artillery also fell into the hands of the Houjin army.

At the same time, the six forts of Kuandian.

Kuandian six forts, built by Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, a fort manages a section of the Great Wall of Liaodong, close to the Jurchen base, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li Chengliang set up these six forts to curb the Jianzhou Jurchen.

However, later, for some reason, the old Li Chengliang removed the six forts of Kuandian by Emperor Wanli, which made the situation in Liaodong even worse.

Xiong Tingbi once suggested that the six forts of Kuandian be restored, and the border should be immigrated, calling it "eight hundred miles of Xinjiang". However, the government was overstretched, and Zhu Youxiao had to put it on hold.

Mao Wenlong recovered the unguarded Kuandian Six Fort the day before yesterday, and at this time he sat on the main seat with a golden sword, his face solemn.

Within a few days, the Dingliao Left Guard fell, and the news of Zou Chuxian's self-immolation spread throughout the Dongjiang army.

This made Mao Wenlong feel that the situation in Liaoshen was critical, and he could not afford to delay for a moment, he frowned and thought about the strategy.

Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and other generals at the bottom were also indignant.

Mao Chenglu stepped forward and said loudly:

"Father, the Tartars are pouring out of the country like this, and important places such as Kuandian Six Fort are not fortified, don't you think that our Dongjiang Army is the same as last year!"

Kong Youde clenched his fists and said: "Please lead us to smash the slave's lair, avenge the brothers who died in the battle of the Left Acropolis, and let Your Majesty know the role of our Dongjiang Army!" ”

Indeed, since the first year of the Apocalypse, for three years, Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army has always won the trust of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, giving him salary, food and weapons.

But in the past three years, Mao Wenlong has felt that the so-called "good news" he has played is too shabby.

Except for Uiju in North Korea, none of the recovered places could be defended, and they were always surrounded by the Jiannu army on Phi Island, and they were unable to enter or exit.

Thinking of this, he got up and said:

"It's time to make a big move, I want Jiannu to know the strength of the Dongjiang Army, and I want them to weigh it well before they send troops next time!"

"Good! Dashuai said it well! ”

The young Kong Youde was greatly excited and shouted loudly.

Over the past year, the Dongjiang Army has received the unconditional trust of Zhu Youxiao in the court, the support of Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong, and Yuan Keli of Denglai across the sea to watch each other.

After a year of hibernation, Phi Island is no longer the isolated island.

Over the past year, Mao Wenlong has used his prestige to continuously recruit exiled people from western and eastern Liaoning, personally organize training, distribute weapons, and develop rapidly.

Today's Phi Island is guarded by a powerful army, and they have a resounding name - Dongjiang Army!

The current Dongjiang Army has brand-new swords, guns and armor from the Shandong Ordnance Division, as well as powerful suifa pistols and captive cannons, which can be described as a makeover.

Kong Youde was called to Phi Island this year, because he was brave in battle, dared to fight, and was named a personal soldier under the account by Mao Wenlong.

In the face of high morale, Mao Wenlong was relieved, but he didn't speak, he looked at the fine line report in his hand, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

This is a fine work sent from the city of Hetuala, saying that the soldiers and horses left by Jiannu in the city of Hetuara are only 20,000 Han troops and thousands of bannermen.

With such a scale, the Dongjiang Army can give it a try!

Nurhachi would pour out the country and attack Liaoshen, which Mao Wenlong had long expected.

He will send troops, and it is estimated that the slave chief could have expected it in advance, but it is impossible for the slave chief to imagine what the Dongjiang army has become now with the help of the imperial court.

Originally, the Dongjiang Army was only fighting guerrillas around Phi Dao, and at most it sent a lone army to the north to make trouble in the depths of the slave realm.

But now, the scope of activity of the Dongjiang Army, from Phi Dao in the south, to Fushun in the north, and even the old village of Hetuala, where Jiannu was built, has also been invaded by spies who sacrificed their lives.

When the Dongjiang army was besieging Nurhachi, they went to Yiju and cooperated with the ministers who came from the imperial court to cross the sea, coerced the city and forced Jin Jingrui to send troops to assist.

When Nurhachi suddenly moved south, intending to attack Liaoyang, Mao Wenlong waved his army up and recovered the 800-li territory of Kuandian Liubao.

Now all he had to do was to attack Hetuara and force Nurhachi to return to his division, and the more the noise became, the more it would disturb the mind of the slave chieftain.

If he makes the wrong decision, it will be good for every battlefield.

Now Mao Wenlong is worried that the Dongjiang Army, like Jiannu, is fighting with all its strength in every battle, and it can't afford to lose any battle at all.

With North Korea behind him and Phi Island surrounded by the sea on all sides, Mao Wenlong feared that if the secret report was inaccurate, the Dongjiang army would be damaged under the city of Hetuala.

I'm afraid that in the future, I will no longer be able to restrain Jiannu from sending troops.

Mao Wenlong was silent, and Mao Chenglu also had an understanding, he suddenly asked: "Father, why don't we ask the court for instructions and then make a decision?" ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at him, shook his head and said:

"It's too late."

He knew in his heart that this battle had reached the time when the whole Liao was in danger of survival, Dingliao City had been lost, Liaoyang and Shenyang were no longer connected, and they were all isolated cities outside the Saiwai.

These days, the Liaodong wind and sand are too big, and they are afraid that they will hinder the imperial court reinforcements, so that they have not arrived from Fuyu Guard.

It seems that you can't wait for reinforcements, you have to plan for it yourself!

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong stood up and said in a deep voice:

"Since there is no next order from Jingluo, the order at this time is all up to me, Mao Wenlong, and once the matter fails, it will also be borne by me Mao Wenlong!"

"You remember what I said, in case you can't get it, from Master Jinglu, down to you, the generals, and the thousand generals, all of you are not guilty, and the blame lies with me alone."

"Father!"

"Handsome ——!"

Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and the generals of the Dongjiang Army stood up one after another, their faces unwilling.

"If we lose the battle, we will be guilty of the same crime as the commander!"

"If there is a difficulty, the marshal is reused by the imperial court, have you forgotten our two hundred brotherhood in the past!"

Mao Wenlong looked at the veteran who spoke, and said loudly:

"I haven't forgotten!"

"But someone must be convicted in defeat, and Lord Jingluo's Liao affairs are all involved, and there must be no mistakes, you all have family members, only I, Mao Wenlong, am alone, and I have nothing to worry about!"
