Dozens of rockets lit up the night sky, they flew in a zigzag, the sparks flying from the tail left a bright trajectory on the pitch-black background, quickly flew over the distance of three miles, and flew chaotically towards the Houjin camp, the tail flame gradually disappeared, and after a while, more than fifty sparks exploded in the black camp, and the dull explosion sound spread far and near, and caused many fires.

"Wonderful fireworks." Chen Xin muttered on Xiguan Mountain. This is the iron-hulled rocket that Chen Xin told Liu Pojun in Fuzhou, far from the same as China's fireworks, using two separate compartments, one is the propulsion department, the other is the warhead, and it will explode at the scheduled time, the biggest difference is that it is heavier, using an iron shell, made of iron sheet thinner than the barrel. Two kinds of warheads are used, and this kind of warhead used in Lushun is three pounds and nine taels, and the entire rocket weighs 27 pounds, has an outer diameter of three inches, a tail rod of 15 feet, and a firing range of three miles.

There were three places in the Houjin camp where there were blazing torches, and Chen Xin could imagine that there must be chaos there, and the flight altitude and screaming of the rockets would greatly damage the morale of the Houjin soldiers, because this kind of attack could not be guarded against.

After waiting for a while, red fireworks rose again from the bottom of the mountain, and another round of rockets rose into the sky, the same chaotic flight, but the huge camp still guaranteed eighty percent of the hits.

Dai Zhenggang and Liu Pojun are also on the top of the mountain, the two are looking at the spectacular scene in a daze, although the scene is not as brilliant as the fire chariot, but the distance is also incomparable to the fire chariot, the range of the fire chariot is up to two hundred steps, but the big rocket in front of him has reached three miles, it is difficult to defend such a large range at night, which means that they can only be beaten, and the camp will lose the feeling of safety, which will increase the psychological pressure of the soldiers, and the body will not be able to recover smoothly.

There are only 300 rockets in this batch, and Chen Xin has already launched 100. He didn't plan to use them all, there would be no follow-up after two rounds, according to the plan formulated by Liu Pojun, those rocket soldiers would retreat at the moment, and the more than ten detachments covering would continue to harass.

The night attack lasted until the second half of the night, when trumpets and bamboo whistles sounded everywhere near the Houjin camp, as well as gongs that were beaten indiscriminately. The army did not go out of the camp to meet the battle, but only sent a small number of white armor that could fight at night to plot with each other in the dark. The chaotic fighting did not end until an hour before dawn, and there was no substantial attack on Dengzhou Town, with less than 100 casualties on both sides.

Chen Xin rested in the tent of the second battalion on the mountain for two hours. He tossed and turned in the tent and couldn't sleep, and he couldn't help but think about the gains and losses of the battle. The Zhenyi heads obtained this time were less than 2,000, and the Mongols were also nearly 2,000, and many corpses during the confrontation were not within the scope of Dengzhou's military control, and were snatched back by the Houjin soldiers and cremated according to their customs.

However, the losses inflicted on Houjin far exceeded this figure, and Chen Xin estimated that Zhenyi's losses were roughly between 3,500 and 4,000, concentrated in two main attacks and two night attacks. The Mongols were forced to fill in the trenches. I'm afraid that the loss is more than Zhenyi, Chen Xin is very suspicious that next time Houjin will call the Mongols together, the Mongols will dare to take a step to southern Liaoning, and Tianyoujun and Wuzhen Chaoha have also been hit twice. These two men and horses were defenseless in front of Dengzhou Town, almost immediately defeated, and then forced to carry out a final general attack, and their losses may be more than half.

As for those coatings. Chen Xin did not use them as a fighting force, and this time their losses were tens of thousands. In addition, about 500 people surrendered, and Chen Xin planned to select 300 newly-drafted ones to join the army as a typical training, while others were sent back to Dengzhou for centralized transformation in the Construction Division.

Yesterday's earthen wall offensive collected more than 300 Zhenyi heads, more than 200 Mongols, more than 300 Mongols who surrendered, and as many as 1,000 Baoyi surrendered, and now they are all guarded by auxiliary soldiers next to Shuicheng.

Most of these auxiliaries were originally military households in Dongjiang, who had gone through more than a month of battlefield tests, and finally won victory, and the confidence in their hearts had been established, and after more than a year of replenishment of normal food supplies and basic training, these soldiers could have been reorganized into combat soldiers, and the recruits of the other battalions after expansion had also been trained, and these nearly 20,000 soldiers with experience and confidence were Chen Xin's greatest substantial gains in the Battle of Lushun.

After the Jin army had no heart to fight, the withdrawal was imminent, Chen Xin in addition to the pursuit, to ensure that Jinzhou was not demolished, after the war the Jin army was frightened, they could not afford to attack Dengzhou strong positions in the future. Chen Xin has already gained a strategic advantage in southern Liaoning, and the next step should be to close the Jinzhou Isthmus, and further develop his strength in this unconstrained place.

But what kind of Cheng dù to develop, Chen Xin has not yet thought about it, if Dengzhou Town is too strong in southern Liaoning, it will cause changes in the situation around the entire Liaohai Sea, the Dongjiang River has been replaced, and North Korea is definitely more towards the opposite side of the post-Jin, Mongolia will be quite hesitant after this time, and there is no direct conflict with Dengzhou, which belongs to the object that can be fought for.

The movements of the imperial court can be quickly grasped, and it is as if it were undefended. It is difficult to estimate the dynamics of the ancestral army in Liaoxi, and it is okay for Liaoxi to be weak Houjin, after all, they can't do Jiannu, but if it is weak to a certain extent, Liaoxi's mentality will change somewhat, and a moderately strong Houjin is an indispensable external factor for maintaining the status of Liaoxi.

Chen Xin deduced in his heart like this, and slept for a while in a daze, when the sky was dark, the sea dog came into the tent to wake up Chen Xin, Chen Xin sat up and rubbed his face, only to hear that the sea dog said that there was a Houjin envoy coming, and was caught by the Fu Lu army, according to him, there was a handwritten letter from Houjin Khan.

"Running here before dawn, like a thief, must have come to engage in private transactions." Chen Xinbian flattened his mouth, he estimated that Huang Taiji just wanted to say something like rabbit dead dog cooking, hoping to withdraw safely.

However, Chen Xin and Huang Taiji have nothing to talk about, even if they talk, they are deceiving each other, and no one will believe it. Just as he was about to ask the sea dog to give the order to kill a few messengers, the sea dog suddenly said: "My lord, is Jiannu afraid and wants to come and beg for mercy." ”

Chen Xin paused for a moment, looked up and smiled at the sea dog: "What do you think?" ”

"Yes, Jiannu has died so much, and now they want to leave, please spare their lives."

Chen Xin laughed, clapped his hands and stood up, and called the adjutant out of the account and said, "Where is the captured Houjin envoy?" ”

"Still in custody at the first earthen wall."

"Tell Buckshan to come over, and ask Huang Side to notify the discipline officers of each department to assemble at the detention center, and each company will draw a few grassroots officers to come, and all of them will be there in half an hour."

The adjutant was busy saluting and giving orders, and he wanted to send them to the ministries. There are still people to be dispatched there, and there is not enough time for an hour.

The sea dog smiled and said, "My lord wants Lord Huang, they all come to see Houjin and beg for mercy?" ”

Chen Xin slapped him on the head, "You are the one who came to surrender after Jin Zhen, there are still tens of thousands of troops left, and our 20,000 people are still far from fighting, you take a few people down, tie up those messengers, and after asking the main and secondary questions, plug your mouth and take them to a place far away from the earthen wall." Wait until the people you just said are all there before bringing them in. ”……

"Dengzhou Town will be fierce and strong, and it is really difficult for me to build a state to resist the enemy, but our army is several times more than your army, and the victory or defeat is still between the two countries. Please Dengzhou General Chen Bing read the virtue of good life in heaven, don't chase our army to add more value to my useless killing, my Jianzhou Department has seen the majesty of Dengzhou Town, dare not raise troops to recruit Ming, only ask Lord Chen to convey the meaning of peace to the Ming Emperor......"

Standing on top of a pile of dirt bags, Bakshan held the piece of paper and read aloud that in fact Huang Taiji's letter was written in Han. Chen Xin specially asked Bakshan to write a fake letter and read it in front of all the instructors and grassroots representatives to further enhance the morale of Dengzhou's military.

Several messengers were dressed in Hanfu. At this time, his hands were tied behind his back, the hat on his head was removed, revealing the ridiculous money rat tail, and his mouth was gagged with a ball of cotton cloth. They heard this out-of-tune letter of peace. It is completely different from the handwritten letter written by Huang Taiji, and they have tried to refute it with a whimper. But they couldn't speak.

Huang Side waited until Buckshan finished reading, and then said coldly to the following people: "Lao Tzu is Huang Side, the chief instructor of Dengzhou Town, Lord Chen asked me to transfer the message to you, he was angry when he saw you, and he was also angry when he saw Huang Taiji's letter, so he disappeared." Why didn't you seek peace when Tieling and Qinghe were in the past, why didn't you ask for peace when you were in Sarhu, why didn't you ask for peace when you killed people without grain, when you raised your butcher's knife, you gave those millions of unjust souls a chance to seek peace. After a few of you became Yan Huang, you are willing to be the lackeys of the barbarians, insulting the ancestors of the Han people, come here! ”

Huang Side's words were sonorous and powerful, those people's mouths were blocked, and they couldn't argue, it seemed that Huang Side's image was tall and mighty, and the onlookers clapped their hands and applauded, patting the official's ass, and the soldiers stationed around were also watching the excitement on the earthen wall, and when they heard that they seemed to be going to kill those traitor representatives, they also applauded.

Seven or eight calming soldiers came over and pressed several Houjin representatives to the ground one by one, Huang Side did not designate the soldiers to be executed, but selected among those low-level trainers, because Chen Xin recently felt that the discipline system was soft, and asked him to cultivate the bloody nature of the trainers, Huang Side has recently been trying to find a way, in addition to planning to recruit a group of fierce trainers, it is to make the current trainers closer to the front line, and even he himself is barely counted as a line of fire.

When Huang Side was choosing an executioner, the second-floor cannon muzzle of a trench not far behind showed a pale face, Gao Hongzhong didn't expect Dengzhou Town to be so barbaric, and he didn't even pay attention to the two countries if they didn't fight each other, and they would cut people when they came up. When Huang Taiji came, he still wanted to send only one low-level Han official, but Gao Hongzhong insisted on a high-level official, and guaranteed that Ming Guo would not kill the envoy, he regretted it now, and this was completely his own idea to send himself to the guillotine.

Gao Hongzhong turned his head, there were no soldiers in the house, but some people in black clothes, although the Dengzhou soldiers Gao Hongzhong saw along the way were strong, most of them looked and spoke quite honestly and plainly, but the people who took over were all fierce, and they were not good people at first glance. These two groups of people seem to be completely from two worlds, but they are the same gang.

The ladder on the lower level of the platform sounded, and several people came out one after another, the first one had a gentle demeanor, always with a comfortable smile on his face, and looked at Gao Hongzhong's eyes were also very friendly, and the latter one had a cold appearance like from hell, and the back few people in military uniforms seemed to be guards, they were strong and lean, giving Gao Hongzhong a better feeling.

"Your name is Gao Hongzhong?" The first person didn't find a seat, and stood directly and asked Gao Hongzhong, his voice low and gentle.

"No, it is exact, now I am the undertaker of the criminal department of the Dajin State, and I was appointed by the Khan of the Dajin State to visit Lord Chen, and the Khan specially told Bucai when he left, and when he saw Lord Chen, he wanted to greet him on his behalf, Lord Chen is one of the few people who can make the Great Khan admire, I don't know if I can let me see Lord Chen."

"The official is Chen Xin, the chief soldier of Dengzhou." Chen Xin said with a smile.

Under the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of fierce eyes around him, how could he hear the word Chen Xin, Gao Hongzhong subconsciously wanted to kneel, suddenly remembered that he was a messenger, and immediately held back, only bowing to Chen Xin, "It turned out to be Lord Chen, who is famous all over the world, the villain is clumsy, please forgive me." ”

"It's no wonder if you don't know, Lushun is now a place of war, Mr. Gao doesn't stay in the big camp well, it's very dangerous to run around like this with a few people, I don't know why I came."

Gao Hongzhong finally got down to business, and hurriedly said to Chen Xin: "The Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom sent a villain, first, he wanted to talk to the adults about how to protect the peace of Liaodong, and he wrote a letter by himself...... It's been searched by your family.,Second, I want to discuss with the adults about communication.。 The villain is now an envoy of the Dajin Kingdom, but the villain is here, and the adult did not say a word, so he first arrested the villain's subordinates to behead him, and there is a way that the two countries have been at war since ancient times......"

"Mr. Gao is right, wrong." Chen Xin smiled and said, "That's 'two countries at war', today it happens to be not the two countries, you and I have been fighting for more than ten years, what we have done is just a piece of land in Liaodong, Liaodong is the land of my Ming Dynasty, I don't know where the Dajin Kingdom in your mouth is, but you have handed over your credentials to my court, but have you been canonized?" Is there a tribute? ”

Gao Hongzhong was not flustered, and argued in a low voice: "The statement of this matter is given to its master, no matter what you call Dajin, Dajin is now in the land of Liaodong, this is a godsend......

Chen Xin put away his smile, and interrupted in a small but firm voice: "Nurhachi ancestor was canonized by my Ming Dynasty, and my Ming Emperor allowed the Jianzhou Department to migrate from Tunguska to Liaodong, so that they could take root here. In the eyes of the officials, you have nothing to do with the Jin State a few hundred years ago, you are a rebel army formed by the Jianzhou Ministry and the horse thieves of other Jurchen Mongolian tribes, in front of the officials, you can only claim to be a member of the Jianzhou Jurchens, otherwise there is no need to talk about it. ”

Gao Hongzhong looked at Chen Xin with his mouth open, and Chen Xin's expression was extremely resolute, Gao Hongzhong couldn't help but feel a little headache, if he recognized the positioning of this bilateral relationship, he would have nothing to talk about later, they as rebels had no moral reason to ask for benefits.

There was a burst of cheers from the soldiers outside, Gao Hongzhong didn't know if he had already started to cut off his head, Chen Xinxuan negotiated in such a place, and insisted on this position as soon as he came up, Gao Hongzhong suddenly felt that he had almost no chips in his hands. He used to know that Chen Xin could fight, but at this time, he felt that this person was not only able to fight, but also a scoundrel.
