321 rushed to Tongguan
"Then there are Zheng County, Qiushui County and Shang County."
"Take these places, and the Liao army in Ning'an Mansion can be wiped out." Pointing to the corresponding location on the map, the second prince almost frowned.
As soon as Ning'an Mansion was purged, Mr. Qin further cut off the back route of the Liao army. After that, you can attack Hua'an Mansion. ”
"It won't take much time to completely eradicate the Liao army in my Great Jin Dynasty!"
"Your Highness, you will definitely come true!" There are also generals who lead the way.
The rest of the people followed suit and said good things.
Only then did the second prince turn around, suppress the joy in his heart, and signal everyone to be quiet.
"Mr. Qin's ability, this king can rest assured."
"As long as she is given enough time, she will definitely be able to sweep away the Liao troubles in the territory of the Great Jin."
"So, right now, we have to cooperate with Mr. Qin and resolutely defend Tongguan."
"As long as I hold Tongguan, in this battle, I will win the battle!" The second prince said in a deep voice. There was excitement in his eyes.
Defeating Da Liao is a great wish he has had since he joined the army.
Now, it seems like it's about to become a reality.
"Yes! Your Highness rest assured, we will definitely stick to Tongguan and never enlarge Liao to enter with a single soldier! A general said in a deep voice.
"Hold on to Tongguan!" The rest of the people followed.
For a time, the crowd in the big tent of the Chinese army was excited.
The second prince nodded with satisfaction, his heart full of hope.
In the blink of an eye, it was another three days.
Qin Xiaoyao's army had already captured Ming County and had set its sights on Zheng County.
When the Liao army in Zheng County heard the news, they were terrified.
For a time, there was an endless stream of letters asking for help from other prefectures and cities, as well as sending books back to Daliao.
At Tongguan, the people of the second prince intercepted a large number of letters asking for help, as well as Liao spies.
At this time, compared to Qin Xiaoyao's lively fight, Tongguan was still peaceful.
Xiao Yuan received some news of asking for help, although he was in a hurry, he still pressed and did not move.
He is still waiting, waiting for Shangjing to reply and give him more troops.
He believed that when the Queen Mother saw his twists and turns, she would definitely think of adding troops to him.
It's just that he has to wait, and it will take time.
So, for the next five days. Qin Xiaoyao took Zheng County again.
At this time, the Jin army's morale was greatly boosted, not only the soldiers of the second prince, but even the imperial soldiers were full of confidence in this Qin general.
At the same time, the envoys of the Jin State also behaved more toughly when they negotiated peace with the Liao State.
Even, there is a tendency not to want to continue talking.
And on this day, Xiao Yuan, who was anxious, finally received a reply from the Empress Dowager Xiao.
The reinforcements he asked for finally came.
However, it was not easy to raise 40,000 horses and grain and grass, and it would take seven or eight days for the army to arrive.
Xiao Yuan was anxious, but he could only continue to wait.
The second prince received the news of the Liao army's increase half a day later than Xiao Yuan.
Then he immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter and informed the generals of the matter.
"Ben Shuai has written to Mr. Qin, asking her to continue to speed up the process of clearing the Liao army. Please be sure to take Ning'an Mansion before the Liao army reinforcements arrive. ”
"As long as Ning'an Mansion is recovered, Hua'an Mansion will not have to worry." After all, the Liao army in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty is basically concentrated in Ning'an Mansion.
Although Hua'an Mansion also went to some Liao troops, the number was much smaller. …
Even if Mr. Qin doesn't clean up at that time, just relying on the imperial army and spending a little more time, he can still clear the Liao soldiers.
Although the increase of troops in the Liao army is a crisis, when Mr. Qin arrives, if he can bring his troops back to Tongguan in time, he will not be worried that Tongguan will not be able to hold it.
"Mr. Qin will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations!" There are generals who answer.
The rest of the people followed suit, and they were full of confidence in Qin Xiaoyao.
And Qin Xiaoyao's side did not live up to the trust of the second prince, and led the army to continue to recover the lost territory at a very fast speed.
Not only did they massacre and capture Liao soldiers, but they also recruited many young and strong homeless people into the army, and the original army of 10,000 people was quickly expanded to 15,000 people.
And this is still the result of Qin Xiaoyao's strict restrictions.
As long as the recruits are in the prime of life, otherwise the number of new recruits will be several times higher.
The main reasons are because, first, Qin Xiaoyao's prestige attracted the people to follow him voluntarily.
Second, under the famine, the people did not have enough to eat. Those who choose to join the army for a bite to eat abound.
Six days later, after almost day and night battles, the entire Ning'an Mansion was finally recovered.
The whole army was overjoyed.
Qin Xiaoyao also received his new official appointment on this day. Suddenly promoted from general to partial general.
At the same time, the letters of the two princes also arrived.
It is said that the Liao State has already arrived outside Tongguan and may launch an attack on Tongguan at any time.
Let Qin Xiaoyao rush to Tongguan as soon as possible to assist in defending the city.
After Qin Xiaoyao read the letter, he asked people to find Chu Jin and Han Chao.
"The Liao army has increased its troops by 30,000 this time, plus the original 40,000, which is enough for 70,000 people."
"Although the second prince claimed to the outside world that he had 50,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan, in fact, because of the division of troops, there are only 35,000 soldiers and horses now."
"If the war breaks out, under the battle between the two sides, it may soon be discovered by the Liao people."
Qin Xiaoyao said, looking at the two of them.
"Your Highness's meaning, let me lead the soldiers and horses back to Tongguan as soon as possible to support."
"At present, there are nearly 20,000 men and horses under my command, including new soldiers. (Recently, 5,000 new people have been added.) Plus thirty-five thousand people of His Highness. In terms of numbers, at least it can reduce the gap with the Liao army. ”
"In addition, Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not impossible to defend Tongguan."
Chu Jin and Han Chao glanced at each other.
"When is the general going to leave?" Han Chao asked with a salute to Qin.
Although he hoped that the general could continue to lead them with one blow and sweep away the Liao army in Hua'an Mansion together.
But the matter of Tongguan is obviously more urgent, and for now, the sooner they leave, the better.
Chu Jin also looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao groaned slightly.
"Let's leave in the afternoon. However, on the Hua'an side side, I don't want to let go. ”
Chu Jin and Han Chao's eyes moved.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at the two of them and continued: "In this way, I will leave Huang Daqiao and Liu San behind. ”
"Then, one more of you will be left behind, with 3,000 elite soldiers, and continue to clear the Liao army in Hua'an Mansion."
Chu Jin and Han Chao glanced at each other, and there was excitement in their eyes.
Three thousand soldiers and horses is not much, but if you are an elite soldier, your combat effectiveness is not weak.
Coupled with the two special training teams of Huang Daqiao and Liu San, it should not be a big problem to take down the small number of Liao soldiers who are wandering in Hua'an Mansion.
"Willing to stay!" Chu Jin and Han Chao exchanged glances, and quickly bowed to Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled and nodded.
"Good!"
Then the next thing was arranged.
Then, in the afternoon, the army marched and rushed to Tongguan.
Qin Xiaoyao rode a high-headed horse, full of pride in his heart.
It's finally time to go to Tongguan.
When she saw the second prince, she was able to have a good chat with him.
I have been writing to each other before, and the second prince told me that there is no news of her father-in-law.
