Chapter 455: Soldiers are coming to the city
"Duke of Liao?" Kong Youde looked at Mao Wenlong.
I have to say that people like Mao Wenlong have a straightforward temperament, and there are few people in the world who he doesn't scold.
If he didn't have such a temperament, how could he even be a eunuch who had to compromise with Yuan Chonghuan, and he would have to be tough?
Now it is rare to see the general attach so much importance to such a figure, but it makes Kong Youde curious, so he said: "This person is high, but he is just ......."
Before he could finish speaking, Mao Wenlong interrupted: "This Liao Guogong is not just as simple as being high, this person is very discerning, and he is low-key, and there are ...... His Donglin army, under the capital, defeated Dolgon. β
When these words came out, Kong Youde was shocked, although the Dongjiang Army often went ashore to harass the Jiannu people, but they never dared to fight the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry head-on.
Thinking of this, Kong Youde said: "I'm afraid that his Donglin Army will suffer a lot of losses." β
"This is a rare place, it is said that the loss of the Donglin Army is not large, but the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, which has lost tens of thousands of people, it is really a failure."
Kong Youde couldn't help but say: "Haha...... This one...... I can't believe it. β
Mao Wenlong said: "Yes, the old man can't believe it, but this is what His Majesty said, even if Zhang Jingyi is a false boast of his military exploits, then there must be some real achievements, even if he is discounted and then discounted, even if he destroys three or five thousand enemies, or ten thousand people, this record should not be underestimated." Your Majesty is here this time to attack Shenyang, what do you think about this? β
"It can't be."
"Of course not." Mao Wenlong said excitedly: "But don't all things in the world start from impossible? I have never dared to go straight to the nest of Jiannu, and there was a battle of Salhu, and everyone was afraid. Because of this, it is enough to be gratifying that Your Majesty and the Duke of Liao have such courage! In any case, we must try our best to cooperate with Your Majesty and the Duke of Liao, they do not need our Dongjiang army to go out together, then we will land at various ports in Liaodong to harass us, and put on a posture of dying with them, which is bound to drag down the Jiannu people everywhere else. β
"This battle is related to the fortunes of the country, and it is also about whether the 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town can go back to their homes, this is a tough battle! So, go and tell your brothers, let's do our best! β
After that, Mao Wenlong changed his words and said: "How much grain is there on the island now?" β
"Seventy thousand stones."
"Seventy thousand stone is a little less, but ...... Let the brethren be fed first. β
"Do you really eat like this? What if the grain runs out and the grain ship doesn't come? β
Mao Wenlong said: "Then there is no way, I have to starve." β
Kong Youde felt that the general had taken the wrong medicine, and over the years, Mao Wenlong had been asking for money in various names, but the supplies given by the imperial court were like boiling eagles, and they had always kept you in a half-dead state.
In order to raise grain, the Dongjiang Army even attacked the Jiannu people along the coast to grab grain at the beginning of spring every year, which was all exchanged for grain with their lives, so Dongjiang Town has relied on Mao Wenlong's careful calculation for so many years.
It's okay all of a sudden, straight stud.
Mao Wenlong glanced at Kong Youde: "What, what else do you have to say?" β
"Just listen to the general's orders. But...... General, the court treats us like pigs and dogs, this emperor ......"
Mao Wenlong said: "I know that you are dissatisfied, not to mention that you and I are ministers, when Your Majesty is driving in person, I should do my best to serve him to death." Not to mention, when I look at Your Majesty, I do have great ambitions...... Those people in the DPRK and China all said that I was an overseas emperor and had the intention of rebellion, but His Majesty attacked this time, not by land, but by sea, and went directly to our Dongjiang Town, what does this mean? This is treating me as a national soldier......"
Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong sighed, to be honest, from Zhejiang to this Liaodong, since he emerged in Liaodong, Mao Wenlong has been questioned countless times.
Wenchen thought that he was a military attachΓ©, so he naturally guarded against him. General Liao regarded him as an outsider, not his own person, and also a variety of constraints.
Only in this Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong has a very high reputation.
For example, in history, after Mao Wenlong was killed, this Kong Youde was extremely dissatisfied, and simply surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and finally in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Gui was the prince, and when he was old, he put the 'general' (Mao Wenlong) on his lips every day, and when he talked about the general, his eyebrows danced. But he didn't want to mention other people and things.
At this time, Mao Wenlong continued: "Your Majesty treats me as a national soldier, and my cheap life is Your Majesty's!" You and other brothers, you have always lived and died with me, and today, if I want to fight to the death, you can decide for yourself. β
Kong Youde listened, where did he dare to respond? What he admires the most is Mao Wenlong, don't say it's him, others such as Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others are also dead set on Mao Wenlong. But for the imperial court, their hearts have long been cold.
Now that Mao Wenlong said this, Kong Youde said: "I know, since the general said this, I will obey my fate." β
So the mighty Donglin Army, after the arrival of the follow-up supply ships, began to board the ships, ready to continue to march towards the hinterland of Liaodong.
And at this moment, Mao Wenlong also reported and pleaded to fight.
There are hundreds of large and small ships of the Dongjiang Army.
Of course, the so-called hundreds of ships are watery, and the vast majority of them are actually just small broken ships carrying dozens of people.
Mao Wenlong was willing to march with the army.
At this time, it had begun to snow in the sky, and in the sea fog rising and the snow was covered, groups of Donglin troops, fully armed, rushed to the dock.
For these military horses, the Dongjiang people are very unfamiliar, they feel that this military horse is too neat.
In their impression, the military horses should be like the Dongjiang Army, all wearing cotton armor that has long been worn out, some old and some young, grinning and showing yellow teeth.
The people silently watched as the military horses boarded the ship, and the vast majority of them just sighed.
"Poor, go to attack Shenyang, how can this student-like soldier be an opponent......"
People regret that the promise of the Donglin Army did not bring too many people hope to return to their homeland, and the vast majority of people only regretted and showed pity in their eyes.
A few days later.
The military towns of Jiannu such as Haizhou, Fuzhou, and Jinzhou were attacked, and a large number of Dongjiang troops appeared, and at dawn, launched an attack.
The forts set up by seven or eight Jiannu people in a row were originally intended to guard against the Dongjiang army. But this time, it is very strange that once the Dongjiang Army appeared in the past, the Jiannu people were bound to fight, and the Dongjiang Army did not dare to face their edge, and often fought with them.
But this time...... The Jiannu people are gone.
Only a small number of Jiannu people remained, and their Han military camp, all cowered in the fortress. So the Dongjiang army began to gather the Liao people under the fortress, and put on a posture of attacking on a large scale.
On the other side, a lone army landed directly near Jinzhou and then ...... The mighty and straight towards Shenyang.
The areas of Shenyang, Fushun and Tieling are the nests of the Jiannu people, and the defense is the most strict.
But under the leadership of a guide named Shang Kexi, the Donglin army galloped all the way.
They carried a lot of weight on their bodies, and as foot soldiers, they did not march quickly.
At this time, it had become a snowfield and the land was flat, so Zhang Jing ordered someone to cut down wood and make a sled, and the speed was much faster.
At this time, the Donglin Army had changed into winter clothes, which were winter coats made of cotton, and they were worn on their bodies, although they were slower to move, they could also shelter from the wind and snow.
The usual drills were revealed at this time.
The endurance of the Donglin Army is excellent, and the physical strength is abundant, coupled with the order and prohibition, it can actually advance rapidly at the speed of marching sixty miles a day.
This surprised Shang Kexi, who was a guide, in his experience, it was already very good for an ordinary military horse to travel twenty miles a day, and a continuous march, sixty miles a day, what kind of people is this?
Along the way, occasionally encounter some Jiannu people, and there will be some military forts, but as soon as the Donglin army arrived, as the first teaching team of the forward, they directly pulled out these strongholds.
The speed was very fast, and as soon as the man arrived, he surrounded the fortress, blew him up a few times, and in order to save ammunition, he directly got on the bayonet and charged. This method of warfare is the simplest, but it seems that these Jiannu people or Han troops are almost impossible to resist.
More than ten days later, everyone advanced to the front line of Shenyang.
The forts here began to be dense, and there were many military towns of the Jiannu people.
However, it soon became clear that the Jiannu people seemed to have no intention of defending these military towns, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the vast majority of them began to assemble towards Shenyang.
This would have been unthinkable in the past.
At least for the guide Shang Kexi, the Jiannu people have always been arrogant, and what they are best at is to take the initiative.
And as soon as an enemy like this comes, he will shrink up and give up the fort on his own initiative, which is unthinkable.
He couldn't help but be worried, and wanted to remind the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Zhang Jingyi that there must be fraud in this, and the army should rest first, and see what tricks the Jiannu people want to play.
Outcome...... However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ordered to continue to advance until it reached the city of Shenyang.
At this time, in the city of Shenyang, there were countless soldiers and horses.
These Jiannu Eight Banners, who had just galloped back to Shenyang all the way to Shenyang, and the Han army that was like a frightened bird, were already panicking at this time.
I rode a horse by myself, galloped all the way, day and night, and then shuttled thousands of miles and returned to Shenyang.
But the Donglin Army, at this time, had also arrived at the city of Shenyang.
It is said that soldiers are fast and fast, but this speed is really unimaginable.
At this time, Dolgon was still frightened, and finally calmed down, he was still thinking about how to slowly plan it, establish a Shenji battalion in the future, manufacture artillery and muskets, and think about how to cooperate with the inner and outer parts of the Jinzhou line, first take the first line of Guanjin, and then try to plot the inside of the Guan.
Where did you think of ...... This Donglin army is coming.
