The army went north, and the first city to be captured was Fushun.

In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty built Fushun City at the foot of Gaoer Mountain, and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, gave the edict of "Fusui Frontier, Shun Guide the People", and "Fushun" was derived from this.

After crossing Fushun, the Ming Dynasty will be able to take Hetuala directly. The city of Hetuara was newly built by Nurhachi himself.

As long as Fushun is taken, the way for the Ming Dynasty to march will be completely opened. Once the war has reached this level, there is basically no suspense, and Jiannu can be said to have no way to retreat.

But on the eastern combat line, Lu Xiangsheng was also sitting on a horse.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has had a lot of activities in Liaodong, and various commercial activities and espionage activities have long been launched. Whether it's the Internal Affairs Office or the Jinyi Guard, the tentacles are everywhere, at least the map has been drawn.

The rules customized by the Royal Academy, the new type of map drawing was completed, and it was delivered to the pro-army for use.

Now in the royal army, if you want to become a general, the first thing you have to do is to be able to read a map. If you don't know how to read a map, you basically can't be a general.

Lu Xiangsheng held a map in his hand and a telescope on his chest. The topography of this land has long been memorized in his mind, but he still takes out the map from time to time to verify it, and he is really afraid that something will go wrong.

This time, what Lu Xiangsheng had to do was to attack along the Yalu River, directly towards Hetu Alata, and at the same time attack the city of Foalashan under Hulan Hada.

Both of these places were very important to Jiannu and also to the Ming Dynasty.

Hetuara is the place where Nurhachi is called Khan, and the city of Foara is the place where Nurhachi rebelled. Daming must knock these two places down.

To the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi was a capricious villain and a traitor. Back then, he was Li Chengliang's personal guard, although there were a lot of bad things in the house, but some things were just not clear.

But it doesn't matter, in the position of Daming, he should be beaten, and Lu Xiangsheng wants to knock these two places down. And he didn't find it difficult.

As a new generation in the army, Lu Xiang has been supported by many people from the Royal Academy after his ascension.

For the people of the Royal Academy, this is an opportunity to show their strength to the outside world. People like Sun Chuanting, they all feel that they are going to be left behind. As for the other generals, it is even more unsightly.

So, this time they want to prove to the world that they are the most talented, they are the best, and everyone else is a dog.

As Lu Xiangsheng's good friend and his subordinate, Cao Wenzhao rode a horse and followed him.

The two walked forward together.

Cao Wenzhao turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at the map again?" Are you a little too nervous? With so many people dispatched this time, there must not be any major problems. ”

Zhu Youxiao now has two royal armies, each with 50,000 horses. Over the years, a large part of his money has been smashed on military horses, and all kinds of new weapons have been hailed at them, and the food is the best, and the training is also the best.

This time, 50,000 people were dispatched, and 20,000 and 50,000 people were drawn each, which was already a rare majority.

In the words of Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, this is a bit too aggressive, and Jiannu's strength has been weakened very much in recent years.

Even if they were not weakened, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng felt that there were too many people and horses used, and 10,000 people were enough.

The current Ming pro-army, more than 10,000 is invincible. These two generals have unparalleled confidence and there will be absolutely no problems.

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Cao Wenzhao, and said with a calm face: "Don't be proud, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, we must be cautious." ”

After hearing this, Cao Wenzhao nodded and said, "It's true that you can't be proud, but you're too cautious." How many offensive plans did you say you deduced? ”

"The day before yesterday, you told me that it was fourteen sets, and you had made all kinds of preparations. How many times did we do it before? Forty-six times, right? And we've rehearsed all sorts of situations, what can be the problem? ”

In Cao Wenzhao's view, Lu Xiangsheng is really too cautious, and this kind of caution makes people feel a little inexplicable.

Lu Xiangsheng was burdened with the hopes of the emperor and the prestige of the Royal Academy, and the pressure was too great. It was the first time to lead an army to fight such a big battle, and it could only be won, not defeated.

But even so, this caution is a bit too much. Cao Wenzhao was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would break this string, so he loosened it.

It's too stressful, it's really bad.

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Cao Wenzhao, put away the map in his hand, sighed and said, "You should also understand what it means this time." Even if we don't want credit, we have to fight beautifully. ”

Cao Wenzhao said disapprehantly: "What's the big deal? Do they still dare to come out? ”

When he said this, Cao Wenzhao was full of pride, and his chest stood up.

In previous battles, Da Ming was rarely willing to fight in the field with the other party. Because it is easy to lose in field battles, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is not strong enough, and when facing the impact of others, the military discipline is not strict enough, and the combat effectiveness is too poor. To put it bluntly, the army is not good.

When Emperor Chengzu swept the north, he was also dominated by infantry phalanxes, but people were able to win, and they were not afraid of death in the face of cavalry, and they could kick the cavalry in circles.

But the current Ming soldiers are long gone, but Cao Wenzhao believes that the Son of Heaven's army can be as immobile as a mountain.

It's just that the pro-army will not give the opposing cavalry a chance to charge into battle, and there are cavalry on their side, and they are lancers, cavalry equipped with new cavalry spears.

In Cao Wenzhao's view, the lancers are invincible on the battlefield.

Killing an enemy with a bullet, sitting on a horse and pulling the bolt to shoot, is the romance of modern cavalry.

No matter how many people come from the other side, it is useless, if you want to storm the infantry phalanx, then many lancers will teach them how to behave.

Whether it is riflemen, machine gunners, mortar soldiers, or mountain artillerymen, all of them will let the barbarians of Jiannu know what it means to have no return!

This time, all the equipment is named the Eight Styles of the Apocalypse, as the name suggests, it is officially installed in the eighth year of the Apocalypse.

This time, the ones brought by the Son of Heaven's army were all the Eight Styles of the Apocalypse, which was too powerful in Cao Wenzhao's opinion.

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Cao Wenzhao and said, "When we deduced, you also knew that if they didn't go out of the city and were only in the city, they could only sit and wait for death. ”

They have discussed this matter countless times, deduced it countless times.

If Huang Taiji does not send troops and chooses to hold on directly in the city, then he will be the most defeated. There is no such rout as any kind of rout.

Because among the royal army, urban siege has become a subject that must be trained. Neither artillery nor riflemen had any problems in this regard.

Normally, in the face of this kind of city, it is a cannon to go up, and then do something else. And these cities like Liaodong rammed earth for cities, and there is no way to face the cannons at all.

Although many people say that rammed earth is strong for a city, it is not so strong when faced with hot weapons.

"Then you think they're going to leave the city?" Cao Wenzhao looked at Lu Xiangsheng and asked.

"Definitely." Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "You know, the imperial court has not collected much information in recent years. Huang Taiji still has some courage, he is not the kind of timid ghost who is afraid of death, he will definitely fight. ”

"With the Salhu of the year, there is hope. This time, if they can overcome like Sarhu, then they will be able to turn over immediately. In such a situation, do you think they will not fight? What's more, they have bought a lot of our weapons and equipment over the years. ”

Cao Wenzhao frowned, and said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "What? Will anyone sell our weapons and equipment? Isn't the Interior Government up there to the north? Do they even let people sell things? ”

Since the Zhangjiakou case of that year, there are not many people on the border who dare to do smuggling business.

There are open ports on the Daning side of the city, and even Zhangjiakou is open to trade. In such a situation, everyone can do business safely and pay taxes safely, so that everyone is safe. If you smuggle for profit, it is likely to be a full house.

In such a situation, there are not many people taking risks. Except for a few bandits, very few do this.

But even if they do, there will be people around them to investigate and deal with them, and those who serve as soldiers don't care about them. If you want to smuggle ordnance, it's almost impossible.

After listening to Cao Wenzhao's words, Lu Xiangsheng said helplessly: "It was those people from the Internal Affairs Office who did it." They openly sell weapons in the Great Capital City, and they are basically those things that our royal army has eliminated. ”

"We sold them all the armor we got out, as well as the swords and guns. In addition to bows and arrows, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has almost emptied the treasury in the capital in recent years, and all those rags have been sold to the Mongols. ”

"Whether it is Korqin or Inner Khalkha, there has been no shortage of activities in the past few years. And when the Mongolian merchants went out of the city of Daning, who could control where they went on the steppe? ”

"Many people sent these equipment to Jiannu, and now they have also changed their equipment."

"Didn't sell bows and arrows?" Cao Wenzhao asked.

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It is not allowed to sell." Most of these bows and arrows were sent to other places, most of them to Sichuan and Yunnan, but they were not allowed to be sold in the north. ”

"What are you afraid of without a bow and arrow?" Cao Wenzhao looked like he didn't care.

It's not like they've tried it before, and now this new type of rifle pierces armor like play, and a single shot can kill a person.

What's more, now it is now referring to where to hit, and the accuracy is very high. Those in the army even began to shoot birds in the eye with guns, and they were bored.

In this case, you can't protect people and horses.
