The city of Hosu Pavilion was once destroyed by the Ming army crossing the sea, and the buildings in the city were burned down by another fire.

Jin Guo tried his best to make the city wall taller and thicker, thinking that he could carry the artillery to attack the city.

Now that a shot has not been fired, the Jin soldiers themselves are in chaos, and Zhu Ming has no trouble capturing this place.

The morning sun is rising, and the sky is full of light.

The fire in the city was finally extinguished, but fortunately there were not many houses rebuilt, otherwise the fire would not have been so easy to deal with.

Countless soldiers collapsed and rested on the side of the road, they had been tired, hungry and thirsty since the tossing and turning last night.

"Get up and kneel, His Majesty the Emperor Ming is here!"

The Ming cavalry ran and shouted along the streets, and the soldiers were panicked and knelt in place.

The reputation of "Prince Zhu of the Ming Dynasty" has spread throughout Liaodong a few years ago, and parents even use it to scare children.

Stop children crying at night!

The soldiers knelt on the ground, and when they heard footsteps in front of them, most of them didn't even dare to look up.

There are also a few bold ones who secretly look up and quickly bury their heads again.

A few of them were stunned, only to see a strong horse, riding a general like a god. The red morning sun reflected on the golden armor, reflecting a red-golden light, like the god who came to the world.

No wonder the Jurchens can't beat it, the prince of the Ming Dynasty...... No, the Ming Emperor is a god descending from heaven!

Yang Yun rode his horse and rushed over: "Your Majesty, rescue the small half grain grass, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 stones." Before, the city was too chaotic, and it was difficult to effectively organize troops to fight the fire, and the granaries were burned for a long time. ”

Zhu Ming nodded approvingly: "You have made a great contribution to saving food." ”

Jin Guo must have more than this military rations, it is estimated that there are still a lot of them in Liaoyang, and there are also a lot of them in Jinzhou.

Yang Yun said again: "After the death of the handsome surnamed Haoshuai, the corpse is outside the yamen." ”

The government office on Hosuguan Road, Zhu Ming wants to live in it temporarily, those corpses have been moved to the street, and dozens of soldiers have been taken to the lobby to wash the floor and wipe the blood.

Zhu Ming lema assigned the task, let the light cavalry disperse to investigate the enemy's situation, and the various units camped inside and outside the city, waiting for the artillery and baggage to come to converge. As for the captives, they were all taken outside the city and kept in custody.

When he came to the street outside the yamen, Zhu Ming saw corpses all over the ground, and he couldn't help asking, "But who knows what happened?" ”

Yang Yun raised his right hand, and several soldiers were brought.

Zhu Ming casually pointed to one of them: "What clan are you from?" ”

The soldier knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Xiaomin is from the Liaoyang clan. ”

Zhu Ming said: "I remember once slashing a big slash. ”

The soldier pointed to a corpse and said, "That's Da Pan, the only son of the Great Minister." ”

Dapan's nephew is Wanyanliang!

Even in the Jin Kingdom, where civil corruption is rampant and military generals are flying and domineering, Dapan's reputation belongs to the first-class stinking: violent people, repeated offenders, and cannot be reused.

But his father is the only son, and Jin Guo can only let this guy inherit the title.

Zhu Ming asked, "What happened at that time?" ”

The soldier replied: "I am Lang Jun's personal soldier, and I will follow Lang Jun to the Yamen meeting." Lang Jun and other heroes entered the lobby, and we, the soldiers, waited outside. After waiting for a long time, they suddenly heard shouts of killing, and everyone rushed in to save their father-in-law. ”

"Halfway through, I didn't know where the arrows were shooting, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly ran outside. After running a few steps, I saw many Jurchen soldiers rushing in from outside, and there were archers pulling their bows on the wall. ”

"I was scared half to death, and I ran diagonally again, and I tripped over as I ran. I took the opportunity to pretend to be dead when I fell, and those Jurchen soldiers didn't come to check, so I left in a hurry after killing people. ”

"When the Jurchen soldiers were finished, I dared to get up and found that several of them were also pretending to be dead. We hurried into the lobby and found that all the ministers were dead. There was a lot of chaos in the city, and we didn't leave the corpse. After a while, the general came in with his troops and tied us all up. ”

Yang Yun guessed: "It is estimated that all ethnic groups are conspiring to rebel against Jin, and they were detected in advance by Allah, so they simply killed them first." ”

Zhu Ming instructed: "Mobilize the sea ships to come over, you and Deng Chun will lead 10,000 foot cavalry, and immediately take a boat to kill Jinzhou." Cooperate with Li Jinyi there and flank the enemy army in Jinzhou before and after! ”

"Yes!"

Yang Yun was ordered to leave.

The city of Haosu Pavilion was taken by Zhu Ming's main force, and Wanyan Zongfu fled towards Liaoyang, so the Jinzhou Jin soldiers became lonely.

The commander of the Ming army in the Jinzhou direction was Li Jinyi, and the original plan was to attack Haiyang (Qinhuangdao). As a result, the Jin soldiers contracted their forces and took the initiative to abandon the Panhai Road, and Li Jinyi led his troops all the way to the city of Jinzhou.

Now go to the front and back to attack Jinzhou, as long as the city is taken, the two Ming armies will be able to meet, and the total strength will exceed 100,000 in an instant.

Zhu Ming called Zhang Xian again: "You take 10,000 steps to ride, take a boat to the mouth of the Yalu River, and attack Posu Road with Zhe Yanzhi." ”

With 20,000 foot cavalry at one time, including the corresponding materials and equipment, the Ming army certainly did not have such a large capacity - many merchant ships had already returned to Shandong to transport grain.

You can only transport some infantry to land first, form a chariot formation with chariots, build a position on the shore, and take the rest slowly.

……

However, it was said that Gao Jingshan and Wang Zheng took advantage of the chaos last night to ride a horse to Liaoyang with their clan soldiers.

The total number of cavalry they took away was actually less than 1,000, but they were all battle-hardened elites.

Don't look at the fact that Wang Zheng doesn't have many soldiers in his hands, but the marriage is good.

Several of his sisters and nieces either intermarried with the Liaoyang clan or married to the nobles of the Jin State.

Moreover, he followed Ah Gu very early, and he was senior enough among the Jin soldiers.

At present, he is the commander of the guards and the army, and is responsible for "protecting" Wu Qimai in peacetime, and is also in charge of military resources (this power and oil and water are great).

"Take a break."

After running for dozens of miles in one breath, he came to a small river, and Wang Zheng lema blew a trumpet to give orders.

The people turned over and dismounted, and led the horses to drink water and graze.

I didn't bring the concentrate, and I only had a small packet of salt on my body, which could replenish the salt for the war horse.

Gao Jingshan was still in the mood to joke: "You are an official who is bigger than me, why do you want to betray Jin and surrender to Ming?" ”

Wang Zheng said: "If Gao Yongchang wasn't too brutal, I wouldn't have invested gold back then." Jurchen, barbarian, my Wang family is a scholarly family. ”

Historically, the descendants of this goods were all civil officials of the Jin State.

His grandson, Wang Tingyun, is the leading painter, writer and calligrapher of the Jin Kingdom.

Gao Jingshan said with a smile: "Why do you say it so high-soundingly, it's just that the Ming Dynasty is powerful." In this land of Liaodong, those who are strong in soldiers and horses get it. The Liao State occupies it, the Jin State occupies it, and the Ming State naturally occupies it. No matter who is the emperor, we, the Bohai clan, must work together. I have a daughter who is not married, and your husband has not yet married. It's not as good as ......."

"It's a deal!" Wang Zheng immediately agreed.

The Wang family originally looked down on the Chengzhou Gao family, and their marriage partner was the Liaoyang Gao family.

Now, the two families are about to get married.

They will all gain the merit of seizing Liaoyang, and most of them will be reused by the Ming Dynasty, and they will join forces to develop together in the future.

After resting for a while, the two led their troops to continue the attack.

They bypassed Tangchi and Chengzhou, and approached Liaoyang City on the afternoon of the second day.

Select a few tired and dying horses, Gao Jingshan ordered them to be killed, and then smeared the armor with horse blood.

Then he threw away some of his helmets, and the soldiers were disjointed. Then take off the armor and slash and stab, making it look like you have just experienced a fierce battle.

At this time, not only the horses were tired, but the soldiers were also half exhausted, and they had not rested for more than forty hours.

The whole army lay down and took a nap, and the war horses also took the opportunity to regain their strength, leaving only a few people nearby to be on guard.

Towards the end of the evening, these guys got back on their horses and ran straight to Liaoyang City.

Liaoyang is a big city, as long as the soldiers are not under the city, the city gate will definitely not be closed during the day, and woodcutters, vegetable sellers, etc. must be allowed to enter the city to sell daily necessities.

Seeing the army coming from afar, the defenders hurriedly closed the city gates.

"Don't close the door, let us in!"

"Defeated, our army is defeated......"

A group of clan soldiers shouted under the city, causing the defenders to panic.

Not long after, Wanyan Zongxian, who was in charge of staying in Liaoyang, arrived.

Wanyan Zongxian followed Ah Gu to fight on the battlefield, and served as a guard for Wu Qimai for a long time, and later was responsible for managing the treasury.

This person has an ordinary level of warfare, but he is extremely capable of governing the people, and he knows how to pacify the big clan.

Wanyan Zongfu specially transferred him to guard Liaoyang, just to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"How did you get so defeated?" Wanyan Zongxian asked.

Wang Zheng rode forward and said: "The southern thieves are cunning, they landed on the border of Quang Ninh Province by boat, and tens of thousands of cavalry went straight to Chengzhou. Fortunately, we were discovered by our army's sentry cavalry, and we were ordered to rush to the aid of Chengzhou, but we were defeated in Chengzhou. ”

Gao Jingshan also stepped forward and said: "The southern thieves only sent cavalry to attack Chengzhou, and did not carry siege equipment. They couldn't beat it for the time being, but they besieged Chengzhou, wanting to cut off the grain route from Liaoyang to the Suguan Pavilion! ”

Wanyan Zongxian was shocked, but he had been guarding against the Bohai clan in his heart, so he said: "You are resting outside the city, and I will send someone to send food out." ”

Gao Jingshan and Wang Zheng are a little blind, if they fail to defraud Liaoyang, then their families will be finished.

I can't think of a way for the time being, so I can only get off the horse and rest for a while.

Wanyan Zongxian's next move made the two of them feel even more desperate - they even hung a basket to drop grain and firewood, and they didn't directly open the city gate to send it out!

Gao Jingshan was furious and yelled at Wanyan Zongxian: "We are waiting for a bloody battle, and countless people have been killed and injured, is Your Excellency treating us as thieves?" ”

Wang Zheng also said: "When I was weak, I fought with Taizu and suffered more than ten wounds all over my body. Now he almost died in Chengzhou, fled back to Liaoyang but was not allowed to enter the city, and even the food had to be hung in baskets. Wouldn't this approach chill the hearts of the Dajin soldiers? ”

Wanyan Zongxian hesitated, and suddenly a Jurchen young man whispered a few words beside him.

Soon, Wanyan Zongxian shouted: "Since they have fled back to Liaoyang, the two generals can be disarmed, and I will immediately send doctors out of the city to treat the wounds of the soldiers." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed.

They just torn their armor and clothes, and got a lot of horse blood on them, but they didn't expect to have to get wounds.

Once you take off your armor and clothes, and there are no new wounds on your body, won't you have to expose them on the spot?

Wanyan Zongxian saw that they were stunned and did not move, and immediately scolded: "There are no enemy troops nearby, and you are injured and tired, why are you still wearing armor?" ”
