"Damn, Your Majesty found out so soon? Lao Tzu didn't kill the surrendered soldiers! Man Gui scolded in his heart, and he stood in place, not moving.

The heralds had already come to Man Gui's face: "Manchu Army, Your Majesty has an order, ordering the Seventh Army to quickly move south, directly to the west of Xianning Fort, and cut off the path of the Red Banner retreating westward. ”

"To the south?" Man Gui's eyes rolled, this was the Jurchen cavalry that was about to encircle the north bank of the Prince River, "What other instructions does Your Majesty have?" ”

"His Majesty said that this time to the south, the matter is very important, whether they can gather and annihilate the Red Flag, it depends on whether the Manchu General can cut off their route to the west, and His Majesty specially instructed the Manchu General to go south immediately."

"I understand, you go and reply to His Majesty, if Dai Shan runs away from my defense zone, I will take my head and go to see His Majesty...... Ao, the Seventh Army captured a large number of cattle and sheep last night, and we must march in a hurry, and it is very inconvenient to take these cattle and sheep with us, so please take care of them for the time being, and transfer them to His Majesty in time. ”

"Cattle and sheep?" Only then did the herald find a large number of cattle and sheep, as well as the Jurchen tent, as well as the raging fire that was burning, "Manjunza, this early in the morning, what are you doing with such a big fire?" ”

"The brothers roasted a few goats last night, and in order to prevent the remaining goats and feet from causing a plague, we simply set them on fire to avoid accidents." Since Zhu Youzhen did not find out about his murder and arson, Man Gui let go of a hanging heart.

"Manjunza, no, why are there still people's calves here?"

"There are also a few herdsmen who have been killed by the brothers without opening their eyes, so you should treat them as goats."

"How many herders? Full military seats, right? Such a big fire......"

"Just a few people! In the morning, the dead branches were covered with dew, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to burn, so I picked up more. Man Gui was unusually sure, "Since His Majesty has an order, we will leave first, and this place will be handed over to you, brothers, line up and set off!" ”

"Da Da Da ......"

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Seventh Army marched away, leaving the heralds alone, facing a huge fire, a large number of cattle and sheep, and dense tents.

From the south bank of the Hunhe River to Xianning Fort, it was less than two hundred miles, and Mangui marched all the way and arrived in one day.

There were only a few hundred Jurchen soldiers in Xianning Fort, and in front of the tens of thousands of Ming troops in Mangui, they didn't even have a chance to surrender, and they were all slaughtered by the Ming army.

Man Gui did not camp in Xianning Fort, he continued to move westward along the north bank of the Taizi River, and slowly approached the big tent of Daishan.

At the same time as Mangui moved south, the Hong Chengchou Division of the Fourth Army also set off lightly, they did not carry artillery, except for flintlock guns, they only carried three days' worth of dry food and water.

Yuan Chonghuan, who was on the south bank of the Taizi River, also received Zhu Youzhen's flying pigeon biography.

Yuan Chonghuan knew that the time for a decisive battle had come. In fact, it is not a decisive battle, the Eight Banners cavalry of the Dajin Kingdom, only the forty-six Niu Lu of Dai Shan's remain, not so much a decisive battle, but a siege and annihilation.

He immediately ordered Du Wenhuan's second army to take Liaoyang City first and solve his worries.

Du Wenhuan waited for this order, but it was too long, and only by solving Liaoyang City could he have the opportunity to participate in the siege and annihilation battle.

The Second Army immediately attacked from all sides, and they took advantage of the range of their flintlock pistols to pursue and kill the defenders at the head of the city until the defenders no longer dared to appear at the head of the city.

Liaoyang used to be the administrative center of the Liaodong Capital Division of the Ming Dynasty, and it was naturally a fortified city, Du Wenhuan estimated that it would not be easy to blow up the city wall, so he concentrated all the forty artillery pieces of the Fourth Army at the north city gate.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of flowering shells, in less than a quarter of an hour, the north gate was dismembered into pieces of sawdust.

The Ming army broke into the city from the north gate, and the Jurchen cavalry who held on to the city, as well as five or six Niu Lu, were all shot and killed under the chase of more than 30,000 sought-after Ming troops.

At the last moment of life and death, Dolgon and Azig also expressed their brotherhood, and they hugged and wiped their necks, and fell into each other's arms.

Liaoyang, the largest city in eastern Liaodong, finally returned to the embrace of the Ming army.

Du Wenhuan didn't have time to clean up Liaoyang City, so he left a regiment of soldiers to clean up Liaoyang City while maintaining law and order in the city.

He took the rest of the soldiers and hurried to meet Yuan Chonghuan, the commander of the First Army.

"Wen Huan, so fast? Captured Liaoyang in half a day? ”

"Commander, Liaoyang City is a piece of fat in our mouths, but the commander has not allowed it to be attacked." Although Du Wenhuan broke the city, he was not complacent at all, the Dorgon brothers were already water dogs, who would fight them, the result was the same, "Commander, what now?" ”

"I've already calculated, I'm just waiting for your forty guns."

"Commander, Dai Shan can't cross the river, what's the use of asking for artillery?"

"I have sent someone to check, Dai Shan's big tent is just outside the river embankment, just within the range of artillery, tomorrow from the morning, we will first use artillery, bombard his big tent, and when the Jurchen soldiers are in chaos, we will cross the river."

"However, the Jurchens are all cavalry, and once the battle situation is unfavorable, they will flee, and we can't catch up at all, so it's difficult to let them escape?"

"You don't have to worry about this, Your Majesty has already prepared two pockets for Dai Shan, and we are only responsible for driving Dai Shan."

"Is Your Majesty here?"

"That's not true, His Majesty is clearing the Jurchen soldiers in Fushun, Tieling, and Kaiyuan, after this battle, there should be no Jurchen soldiers south of the Great Wall of Liaodong."

"So, Liaodong is about to be fully restored?"

"Comprehensive? Wen Huan, do you estimate that His Majesty Xià will meet the south of the Great Wall of Liaodong? ”

"Does His Majesty want to go out of the Great Wall? Is he going to completely raze Jiannu? ”

"This, I don't know, we have to wait for His Majesty's new order, let's make all kinds of preparations first!"

"I understand, Commander, it seems that I am not too late, I still have to fight!"

"After the artillery is fired tomorrow, your second army will cross the river first, then the third army, and the first army will be responsible for breaking off, Wen Huan is still satisfied with this arrangement, right?"

"The subordinates all obey the commander."

"I know that as long as I can satisfy Wen Huan, you will definitely support me as the commander of the First Army, right, Wen Huan?"

"Commander......

"Haha......"

"Haha......"

Both of them looked up to the sky and laughed.

As soon as it was dawn and the soldiers were still asleep, Dai Shan got up.

In the past few days, he has been restless, and sent several groups of soldiers back to Shengjing to listen to the news, but there is no return, and the situation in Shengjing, Dai Shan is eyes are black.

Especially last night, he had a strange dream, in the dream, Shengjing was breached, and the person who broke Shengjing was none other than his son Yue Tuo.

Dai Shan shook his head, Yue Tuo was already dead, even if he was alive, he would not attack Sheng Jing, "Why did he attack Sheng Jing?" Don't...... No, no, Yue Tuo has no such ambition at all, besides, the Great Khan is not thin on him, Mang Gurtai was defeated by the Ming army, and was relieved of military power by the Great Khan, imprisoned, until he died without a problem, and Yue Tuo really lost in front of the Ming army, but he still remained as the banner owner with the red flag. ”

He forced himself to shift his thoughts, "Sheng Jing, what the hell is wrong?" ”

Dai Shan didn't wake up his soldiers, he walked around the periphery of the big tent, walking alone in the cold morning breeze, he felt that his thinking was now a mess, one would be Shengjing, one would be Huang Taiji, and the other would be Yue Tuo.

He bent down and summoned a handful of cold water from the small ditch outside the big tent, and smashed it his face, and as soon as the cold water soaked, his attention began to focus.

He thought of the Prince River, why did he stay in the Prince River? Can you really stop the Ming army? In case Shengjing is broken by the Ming army, where will he go?

"Boom...... Prosperous! ”

A cannon sounded, which startled Dai Shan, "We didn't cross the river again, what kind of artillery did the Ming army fire?" ”

He soon sensed that something was wrong, the sound of artillery was not coming from the river, but from the vicinity of his big tent, and he seemed to hear the screams of the soldiers after they were wounded, and what was even more terrible, the explosion of the shells, not this one, but more and more.

"Could it be that the Ming army is going to cross the river?" Dai Shan was scared into a cold sweat, this fright, his brain also woke up, the soldiers were still sleeping, he had to wake them up quickly, "Soldier? ”

His voice was completely drowned out by the explosion of the flowering bombs, but there was no need for buglemen, and after the explosions of so many flowering shells, the soldiers either woke up in pain or were frightened.

The Jurchen soldiers were in chaos, and inside and outside the tent, there were panicked soldiers everywhere, who had just come out of the leather quilt and had not even found their leather armor.

Fortunately, the Jurchen soldiers have developed good habits since childhood, and the more dangerous the moment, the more they need their beloved war horses.

The soldiers ran to the stables with knives in their hands.

The wounded soldiers were either screaming or rolling on the ground, at this moment, they were completely superfluous, whether for the Ming army or the Jurchen soldiers.

The tent began to catch fire.

The tent soaked in butter and mutton is particularly waterproof, and if it encounters a fire, it will be a disaster. The fire was so fast that the fire instantly engulfed the nearby low sky.

The soldiers who did not have time to escape from the tent could no longer find a way out, and the pungent smell of burnt flesh came from the firelight, and it was not known whether the dried beef and mutton were charred, or the human corpses were charred.

Dai Shan was lucky enough to meet an ownerless war horse, he flew on the horse, and shouted: "Retreat, quickly exit the big tent." After shouting twice, his voice became hoarse, and even he realized that his voice had changed his voice.

His shouting is completely superfluous, the soldiers who fled outside the big tent will not be stupid enough to return to the big tent and wait for others to eat barbecue, and the soldiers who have not escaped in the big tent have already ascended to heaven directly, and they will never come out again.

The soldiers nearby still recognized Dai Shan, "Big Baylor, Big Baylor is here......"

"Quick, get out of the tent and retreat north!" Dai Shan couldn't care about the soldiers in the fire, and he retreated first, wanting to retreat beyond the range of the flowering bullets.

There were more and more soldiers gathered around Dai Shan, but Dai Shan's face was getting heavier and heavier.
