"Outside, outside, Liaodong is victorious, and Hetuala, the nest of Jiannu, is a nest of officials and soldiers."

"Outside the number, outside the number, Mao Wenlong took Hetuala lightly and exterminated more than 10,000 Jiannu people."

In the eighth lunar month of the third year of the Apocalypse, the cries of the newspaper boys on the street suddenly attracted a group of passers-by. Within a while, the newsboy's newspaper was selling a large stack.

It didn't take long for the city to be filled with the sound of firecrackers.

On the battlefield of Liaodong, the Ming army once again achieved a great victory, and this time the great victory was achieved by Dongjiang Town. Since Mao Wenlong captured Niumaozhai, he has made sufficient combat preparations in the mountainous areas, and has hoarded a large number of war materials in the rear, which can be called luxurious.

Before the attack, the Central Army fully cooperated with the Taizi River defense line.

Sun Chuanting commanded three infantry divisions, as well as one cavalry division, to forcibly cross the Taizi River and enter the Liaoyang territory. The wild boar skin was very nervous when he received the news, and quickly gathered his troops to Liaoyang.

Three infantry divisions of the Central Army plus one cavalry division were rampage on the plain outside Liaoyang City, and Jiannu was stunned and did not dare to start a siege. Because the wild boar skin found that there were nearly 100,000 central troops behind them who were ready to cross the river at any time.

The Taizi River is actually not a big river, and in autumn the flow decreases, and soldiers can even swim across the river on foot. What's more, the Ming army set up artillery and pontoon bridges by the river, and the wild boar skin was powerless to stop the Ming army from forcibly crossing the Taizi River.

The last siege of the 03rd Division had already caused a serious psychological shadow on the wild boar skins and a group of Jiannu. This time, he didn't dare to go up to besiege, for fear that the main force of the Ming army would seize the opportunity.

Although the Ming army was rampage outside Liaoyang City, they did not dare to disperse. So it didn't achieve much success, just wiped out a few farms, which basically belonged to the rhythm of cannon fighting mosquitoes, and there was no big threat to Jiannu. But Jiannu couldn't find a chance to break them one by one, and the wild boar skin could only hang three miles away from the Ming army with a group of main forces. They didn't even dare to send cavalry to harass.

How dare Jiannu harass, the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Ming army has made the wild boar skin almost have nightmares every day after returning to Shenyang.

Sending a little cavalry to play at random is all about sending them to death, and sending too many of them will bring a wave of rhythm in the past.

Just when the wild boar skin and a group of main forces gathered around to watch the Ming army's 'autumn tour', a bad news came to the wild boar skin.

"Great Khan, it's not good. The old city was attacked by the Ming army. Tens of thousands of people, most of the tens of thousands of people did not escape. A bloodied Jiannu soldier rolled off his horse and cried out to the boar skin.

"What!" Wild Boar Skin's eyes widened in shock and asked, "Didn't you discover the Ming army in advance?" ”

"I found out, but it was too late. The Ming army marched too fast, and before we could evacuate the people, the Ming army surrounded the old city. ”

"Ah~! Yes...... Burst! The boar bark roared twice in a frenzy, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Father Khan."

"Great Khan ......"

A group of high-level Jiannu executives around them saw the wild boar skin vomiting blood, and they were immediately frightened.

Hetuala. The old city of Jiannu, a city stained with the blood of the Han Chinese, was destroyed. After the Central Army contained the main force of Jiannu, Mao Wenlong raided Hetuara with lightning speed. The 30,000 Dongjiang Army was completely unstoppable in the mountains. Before Jiannu had enough time to evacuate the population, Hetuara was surrounded by the Dongjiang army, and after a bombardment, Hetuara was captured.

In the flames of iron and blood, the Dongjiang army destroyed the entire city.

Then 30,000 Dongjiang troops were like autumn winds sweeping away leaves. Sweep all the way through the mountains. Jiannu fled in despair, first of all, in terms of the disparity in troops, Jiannu did not have the slightest courage to resist.

Ming army with artillery. I can't stop it at all.

A Gushan Ezhen led more than 2,000 Jiannu soldiers to try to emulate the original battle of Sarhu, and after two days of ambush in the dense forest, he finally waited for a group of more than 500 Ming troops. And then very suddenly, from the left and right.

As a result, tragedy struck, and these Ming troops seemed to have been prepared. It was only after the initial panic that it contracted across the board. A strong spear formation was formed, and then fought to the death.

Two thousand Jiannu rushed up, but they couldn't break through the spear array of the Ming army, and they also broke a tooth, and they still couldn't annihilate this group of Ming troops despite heavy casualties.

These 500 Ming troops also suffered heavy casualties. fought until there were only more than 100 people left, and still no one retreated. This ruthlessness made every Jiannu soldier frightened.

To this point, the reinforcements of the Ming army also arrived, and they ruthlessly wrapped these Jiannu dumplings.

Obviously, the Dongjiang Army has mastered the essence of mountain warfare, and the core is still the harsh military law and steely discipline.

As long as your allies do not rout, scatter your allies, causing a rout. As long as they fought hard, Jiannu was simply unable to compete with the Ming army in the mountains.

Of course, there is another important point, which is to 'do more eye'. As long as the main force of Jiannu is detected, you can boldly attack everywhere. Once the main force of Jiannu attacked, it would shrink its forces and fight with Jiannu in the mountains. With the narrow terrain of the mountainous area, Jiannu's cavalry advantage could not be brought into play at all. Even if Jiannu transferred all the main forces into the mountains, he would not be able to defeat the 30,000 Dongjiang troops trained specifically for fighting in the mountains.

The main force of wild boar skin was pinned down in Liaoyang and couldn't move, and Mao Wenlong was undoubtedly the coolest. Began to frantically sweep the rear of Jiannu, Hetuara was only the first step.

The good news was transmitted back to Beijing, and the "Daming Daily" made a big report.

Not only that, but other newspapers also reported on the news.

In the third year of the Apocalypse, more than a dozen newspapers appeared in Beijing, which became a new industry in the Ming Dynasty. Three of them were established by the Royal Consortium, namely "Jingshi Daily", "Beizhili Daily" and "Business Daily".

Newspaper running soon became a common practice, and non-governmental newspapers began to openly distribute newspapers.

This trend soon spread to Yangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and the southern scholars and chaebols also opened newspapers one after another.

For a time, almost all demons were dancing, and the entire newspaper industry was in chaos, and most of the newspapers had serious class overtones, insinuating against current politics.

There are also some newspapers that even publish fake news.

Of course, people in these years still pay more attention to credibility, and most newspapers still carry out certain checks on news content. But the end of the Ming Dynasty was also an era of corrupt legislation, and there were also guys who didn't pay attention to credibility.

Hand-copied newspapers became obsolete for a while, but those literati activities with serious political overtones were still very popular.

Of course, people in the world are leisurely, and Zhu Youxiao has no intention of blocking it. privately criticized current affairs, no matter how ugly the scolding was, Zhu Youxiao couldn't control it. But if you put this kind of behavior on the bright side, you have to deal with it in the newspaper.

Therefore, the Beijing Division immediately set up the General Information Bureau, which was specially designed to review the news content of various newspapers, and all newspapers had issue numbers.

The successive victories of the Ming army in Liaodong suddenly changed the image of the imperial court in the people, and deterred many careerists.

However, Mao Wenlong's victory in sweeping behind enemy lines was only the beginning.

This autumn military operation of the Ming army was like a misfire, and soon evolved into a battle to recover the Liaodong Plain because Mao Wenlong quickly swept behind enemy lines and captured Fushun on the ninth day of the eighth lunar month.

The rear of Jiannu was almost as empty as a piece of paper, and the Dongjiang army was like a bamboo, and it was confiscated for a while, and it went directly to Fushun. In Fushun was met with the resistance of Jiannu, more than 5,000 Jiannu relied on the Fushun city wall to defend, but was successfully attacked by Mao Wenlong at night, dug tunnels and blew up the city wall, tens of thousands of Ming troops killed into Fushun, and then the battle was simply chopping melons and vegetables, Jiannu morale avalanche, no will to fight, 5,000 Jiannu were slaughtered by the Ming army more than 3,000 people, only more than 2,000 people escaped from Fushun.

Mao Wenlong's capture of Fushun became the fuse for the Ming army to recover Liaodong. When Sun Chuanting received Mao Wenlong's battle report, he made the decision to cross the river with the whole army on the spot.

On August 21, the 130,000 Central Army crossed the river overnight and approached Liaoyang.

In the defense line of the Liaohe River, which was not far away, Sun Chengzong, who was always concerned about the occupation, immediately poured out 120,000 officers and soldiers in Liaodong Town and launched a counteroffensive to the east of Liaodong after learning that the Central Army had crossed the Taizi River.

The three-year Pingliao strategy was thrown to Jawa Island by Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong, the two court commanders, in just two days.

"The military gate thinks twice, the emperor ordered me to stick to Guangning in Liaodong Town, even if I go to war, I can only send 50,000 soldiers and horses at most. Now the military gate wants to launch a counterattack with all the army, but it is a disobedient move! ”

"I still hope that the military will think twice."

A group of military attachés in Liaodong Town obviously had concerns about Sun Chengzong's orders, and after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he improved the corruption of the Liaodong army's discipline and the deduction of military salaries, and also improved the treatment of officers and soldiers and the supply of materials. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao still has a lot of weight in the minds of a group of military attachés.

"Fighters are rare, and they will not be affected by the orders of the monarch outside." Sun Chengzong said resolutely, "The saint is there, and the official will explain it." ”

The generals had no choice but to obey the order to lead the army to attack. (To be continued......)
