Huang Taiji didn't expect to take the border fortress of the Xian Empire so easily, it seems that the combat power of the Xian army is more unbearable than that of the Ming army, it seems that this time the strategy of last resort is still correct.

After crossing the river, he ordered Amin to lead 20,000 iron cavalry to attack Yizhou, and Jierharang led 20,000 troops to attack Tieshan, in case Cao Bianjiao's troops stationed in Tieshan sent troops to make trouble, and Abatai led 20,000 people to garrison the mouth of the Liao River to prevent the Ming army from reinforcing the Xian Empire, and he waved 60,000 troops to Hanyang City, the capital of the Xian Empire.

Amin led the troops to capture Yizhou without much effort, waved the army south, besieged Dingzhou, the wheel of history appeared here There was a small deviation, after learning that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to reinforce, the defenders of Dingzhou defended the city, and it was hard to hold on for more than ten days before falling.

The Jin army injured more than 5,000 people in the siege, Amin was so angry that he screamed violently, and the arson plundered for three days, and the city of Dingzhou became a hell on earth, many people were ruined, property was robbed, wives and daughters were humiliated, and young people were forcibly taken into slavery.

In addition to leaving 3,000 men and horses to defend the city, Amin led the army to meet with the main force of Huang Taiji, bypassed the fortified cities, and went straight to Hanyang City, the royal capital of the Xian Empire, and finally arrived at Hanyang City in thirteen days.

Huang Taiji ordered to trap Hanyang City while sending people to surrender, and Li Zong, the lord of Xian State, had Ming reinforcements as his confidence, and he resolutely refused to surrender against the cowardice of the hardships.

Huang Taiji waved his army to attack the city, and the soldiers and civilians of Hanyang City resisted and repelled many crazy attacks by the Jin army, and the two sides suffered casualties on both sides, and the battle was temporarily stalemate.

The kings of the Xian Empire were all besieged, and the state capitals sent troops to Qin Wang and flocked to Hanyang, and the storm was surging for a while.

Zierharang led an army of 20,000 to attack Tieshan, and the wolf battalion soldiers stationed in Tieshan had a total of two regiments and 3,000 people, led by Wei Guisheng, the commander of a regiment.

Cao Bianjiao was stationed on Phi Island, and was the last person to receive the holy decree, and on the same day after kneeling to receive the holy decree, he was promoted to a general, and led the army to board the ship and rush to Tieshan.

Zhu Jian knew the importance of Phi Dao and Tie Shan, so he ordered the Liaodong Naval Division to cruise in the sea area between Phi Dao and Tie Shan, in addition to ensuring the supply of materials to Phi Dao and Tie Shan, but also to transport troops or reinforcements at any time, and the main task of the Liaodong Naval Division at present was to fully cooperate with Cao Bianjiao's military operations.

After Wei Yuanqing received the holy order, the sailors were divided into two, and he personally led a warship to the mouth of the Liaohe River to carry the main force of Li Xin's expeditionary force, and the other sailed to Phi Island to carry Cao Bianjiao's troops to Tieshan and Jierharang to fight.

Now, Cao Bianjiao's wolf battalion has expanded to a division-level unit of more than 12,000 people, not counting the 3,000 reserves that are being trained.

Cao Bianjiao left 2,000 soldiers and 3,000 reserves to guard Phi Dao, and he took his newly married beautiful daughter-in-law Qin Xuefeng to board the warship and lead the army to Tieshan.

This young grandmother Qin is notoriously tough, how can she be missing on such a lively occasion, Cao Bianjiao didn't dare not take her, of course, Qin Xuefeng promised that she would not lead the army to charge, just to see the excitement, otherwise, Cao Bianjiao would not take her alive or dead.

Although the Liaodong Naval Division was divided into two, the large, medium and small warships set sail, mighty and mighty, covering the sea, which was extremely magnificent.

As a traverser, Zhu Jian naturally knows the huge role of the navy, and also knows the role of the Liaodong Navy Division in Liaodong, so he will endure the pain and grit his teeth and throw money into it.

Wei Yuanqing only took 2,000 marines with him, and the other 3,000 remained in Tieshan to strengthen Tieshan's strength, including the detachment, all of which obeyed Cao Bianjiao's command.

While Cao Bianjiao was busy dispatching troops, Li Xin's expeditionary force had already been assembled, and all kinds of military supplies had been put in place, waiting for Wei Yuanqing's Liaodong detachment to arrive.

The reason why he wanted to land the Xian Empire from the mouth of the Liao River was because Abatai led 20,000 elite cavalry to garrison there, Zhu Jian's plan was not to be too anxious to reinforce the Xian Empire, let them fight for a while, the two sides would consume each other, let's just be the fisherman who picked up the cheap, as much as possible to eliminate the living force of the Jin army, and consume the war potential of the Jin army.

The first to fight with the Jin army was Wei Guisheng's department defending Iron Mountain, Jierharang commanded 20,000 elite cavalry, although he had an advantage in numbers, but he did not dare to attack rashly, Cao Bianjiao led the wolf battalion to attack deep into the hinterland of Dajin, not only made the tribes tremble and cold, and even once ambushed and was trapped to death, but with the dense rain of bullets and the brave and fearless momentum of the hard anal several times the elite iron cavalry, forced out of a bloody way, calmly withdrew, not even the remains of a fallen soldier were left.

According to statistics after the war, the trapped wolf battalion suffered little damage, but the elite iron cavalry of the Jin army suffered heavy casualties.

Because the Liaodong Navy Division cruised between Tieshan and Phi Dao, the wolf army stationed in Tieshan could be covered and received by the fleet's artillery fire at any time, and the cannons of the warships were much more ferocious than the small-caliber Franc machine guns on land.

The rain will make the bowstring soften, unable to use the riding bow, the Jin army lost the famous cavalry and archery tactics, but the rain also made the gunpowder damp, the Ming army's muskets lost their effect, all turned into burning sticks, with swords, axes, shields and other weapons against the burning sticks, no need to guess the result, can defeat the famous wolf battalion, great achievements, his reputation can be raised to a higher level, but also can capture the wolf battalion's excellent muskets to equip their own flag soldiers, such an excellent opportunity, quite good at capturing fighters, how can Zilharang, who is quite good at capturing fighters, miss it?

Under the command of Zilharang, 20,000 elite horsemen braved the rain to leave the camp, lined up in the rain, and then launched an attack on Iron Mountain.

Wei Guisheng, the commander of the first regiment who was the commander of Tieshan, stomped his feet and scolded the old man of the thief, and ordered the whole army to be on guard, carrying primitive weapons such as rolling stones, rolling wood, machetes, iron swords, wooden guns, etc., to the city to prevent the Jin army from sneaking attack.

Fortunately, the Son of Heaven invented the magical Dongdong of cement, and built a simple but extremely strong concrete fortress on the mountain, which strengthened the defense of the Iron Mountain defense line, otherwise, he did not know if he would be able to hold out until the main force arrived.

The heavy rain was pouring down, the sky and the earth were white, and the field of vision could not reach far, but anyone could hear it clearly, the sound of the rain was mixed with the rumbling thunder, and even the ground under his feet was shaking, and he didn't have to guess that the Jin army had launched an attack.

(I wish you all a happy new year, all the best, the Spring Festival, all kinds of busy death, I dare not guarantee that it can be updated these days, sorry.) ）
