Chapter 66 Edict

In the past two days, in fact, the Tongzhou garrison has also fought very hard. They don't have many troops, and most of the troops in the army are the defeated soldiers recently collected by Zhang Erzhong, and there are also a large number of people who have just been recruited. At this time, the weapons and equipment are also very poor. In the case of lack of food and salary, Not to mention effective training, they can only resist the attack of the Jiannu army with their enthusiasm.

Although Zhang Erzhong tried his best to mobilize morale, fighting a war was a matter of life. Although under Zhang Erzhong's strong mobilization, many soldiers rushed up with courage, many soldiers and civilians who had never seen blood fell into the pool of blood, and this blood courage immediately went east like a river spring water. Therefore, although they blocked Jiannu's attack for two days, their morale was also extremely low. Tang Tong's performance this time was good. He led the soldiers in the North Gate and the West Gate, and he retreated Jiannu's several attacks in a row. He ran back and forth between the North Gate and the West Gate and commanded the soldiers to fight. However, in the past two days, Tang Tong's strength His head also leaked down. Looking at the strong Jiannu army crowded outside the city like locusts, his loyalty was soon used up. Seeing that the morale of the defenders was getting lower and lower, one by one, he was at a loss. Tang Tong knew that Tongzhou was afraid that Tongzhou could not hold on.

So Tang Tong began to think about how to save his life next, because he knew that Tongzhou had become a lonely city at this time. Although it was so close to the capital division, it was impossible for the capital division to send troops to rescue Tongzhou. The strength of the capital division was not enough to defend the city. He hoped that the bigwigs of the Beijing camp would risk their lives to go out of the city to build it. There is no need to think about the field battle of the slave army. They stay in the Beijing Division and estimate that they can hold on for a few days. Once the generals leave the city, it is estimated that they will directly disperse outside the gate without seeing the slave army. The reinforcements of the Beijing Division can't be counted on.

At this time, it is even more impossible to count on the escape and surrender of the officers and soldiers in the counties outside Tongzhou. The largest number of troops around Beijing is even in the area of Tianjin Wei. As a major military place, Tianjin Wei has always stayed in the town for more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, but now Tianjin Wei is said to be difficult to protect itself. There is a large and medium-sized army at this time. Under the leadership of Xiao Tianjian, the emperor of Dazhong, he has arrived at Tianjin Wei and is attacking Tianjin Wei, trying to capture Tianjin Wei. As the last stop for them to open up the canal, they will use Tianjin Wei as the place where they store and transport grain and materials from the south, so Tianjin Wei estimates whether it can be preserved at this time. No one knows. It is.

So staying in Tongzhou is a death. At the beginning, Tang Tong was still excited by Zhang Erzhong's blood. He planned to simply be loyal in Tongzhou and kill some more Tatars, which is also a loyal name for him, but loyalty is at the cost of life. Not everyone can see death. At this point, sometimes the generals may not be much better than some literati. The literati also have some integrity, but most of the generals are rude people, and they are more interested in the immediate interests. Tang Tong is obviously not the kind of person who can be regarded as death. After two days, his courage is soon consumed and it comes to construction. The night after the siege, Tang Tong began to think about escaping again.

But at this time, someone found Tang Tong and told Tang Tong a piece of news, which made Tang Tong give up the idea of escaping overnight, and immediately cheered up and decided to stay in the city on the third day to defend Tongzhou City.

The original person looking for Tangtong was also a detailed work of the Dazhong Army in Tongzhou City. It belonged to Feng Weihan's men. They found Tang Tong and told Tangtong Dazhong Army that it was rushing to Tongzhou at night. As long as Tongzhou persisted for another day or two, the soldiers and horses of the Dazhong Army would arrive in Tongzhou to relieve Tongzhou.

And the detailed work also told Tang Tong that the emperor of the Dazhong Dynasty had taken the Tianjin Wei at this time. He was willing to invite Tang Tong to return to his command, which could protect Tang Tong's glory and wealth in the future, but the premise was that Tang Tong must help Zhang Erzhong defend Tongzhou City. Otherwise, Tang Tong was the first target to kill, regardless of Where he fled, he would chase him to the end and destroy his whole house.

After listening to this, Tang Tong was surprised and happy. He was also afraid to die, because he had already seen that the destruction of Daming was irreversible. It is likely that Xiao Tianjian would be his in the future. If he escapes now, where could he escape? In the future, his surname will be Xiao. If he runs away now, I'm afraid that there will be no place for Tang Tong and his family in the future, so he is willing to follow Dazhong and North Korea in the future, but the premise is to guard Tongzhou first.

So Tang Tong quickly agreed and patted his chest to ensure that he would never live up to Xiao Tianjian's expectations of him. Even if he died in Tongzhou, he would never give Tongzhou to Jiannu (it seems that he just said this to Zhang Erzhong two days ago!).

At the same time, Tang Tong is a timid and afraid of death, but after all, he can do the position of general officer. He is still a little experienced in the military. From the details of this large and medium army, he soon found a problem. This time, the emperor Xiao Tianjian ordered him to defend Tongzhou. I'm afraid he didn't just want to Getting Tongzhou is so simple. I'm afraid that Xiao Tianjian has a bigger plan behind this, but he can't manage this kind of thing. Now Xiao Tianjian, the emperor of Dazhong, only orders him to defend Tongzhou City. He is a pawn. In addition to following Xiao Tianjian's instructions, he can't manage more things.

Xiao Tianjian rode on the back of the horse, and his body slowly fluctuated with the movements of the war horse. Beside him was accompanied by a group of iron-headed Yulinwei who protected him.

It has been two months since the beginning of the Northern Expedition. In the past two months, although he has been the emperor of the university and middle school, he is almost no different from an ordinary soldier. He travels day and night every day to attack the north. On the way, he does not take a boat, but enjoys a comfortable journey on the boat, let alone What kind of dragon chariot did you take? Instead, like the generals, he rode on horseback all the way, commanding the soldiers under his command to attack the city and the fortress and attack the north.

On the way, he is a valuable emperor, but he is still a sleeper. He does not enjoy too many privileges as much as possible. Every day, he is even harder than ordinary soldiers. From time to time, he will patrol the battalion as the emperor and ask for warmth to the generals under his command, which makes the generals loyal to him. He was so stubborn that he secretly made up his mind to die for him.

And every night, Xiao Tianjian has to discuss the next day's action with the generals in the account and formulate various combat plans. Although the current combat plans are mostly formulated by the staff and generals, as the leader of the army, he often has to participate in it, at least also Make a decision on various combat plans and choose what he thinks is feasible to issue orders.

The war situation in the north is what he is most worried about on the road. Communication in this era is inconvenient. It is impossible for him to know how the war situation in the north is going. What he is most worried about is that Jiannu broke through Shanhaiguan before them and captured the land of Yanyun first. In that case, although it can't be said before. All the achievements have been abandoned, but if you want to take back these territory from Jiannu, you don't know how much power you have to consume. If you are not careful, you will lose all the game.

So although the subordinate generals of his opponents talked and laughed along the way, there was always a kind of uneasiness in his heart, because it was too difficult for him to get to this point, and he was about to succeed. At this time, Jiannu began to go south before him, wanting to enter the customs and occupy the land of Yanyun, which caused him A lot of pressure.

He did not want to follow in the footsteps of Li Zicheng in history and become a sinner in this new history. He destroyed the Ming Dynasty in order to revive the Han nation, not to attract Jiannu into the customs, and finally give such a great country to Jiannu. Therefore, his going north this time can be said to be the ultimate battle, in order to keep Jiannu out of the gate. Then, after the next step is to destroy the Ming Dynasty, the Jiannu will be erased from the land of Liaodong and recover the land of Liaodong.

However, his worries during this period were gradually reassuring him with the news from various military reports. Due to the ability of Yan Chongxi and Lu Xiangsheng, they arrived at the Shanhaiguan area before the Jiannu army, and cooperated with Feng Weihan's special situation to force Wu Xiang, the guard of Shanhaiguan, and finally controlled it before Jiannu. In this way, although the Shanhaiguan defense line does not dare to worry, at least with the strong support of Yan Chongxi's left army, the Shanhaiguan defense line can still last for a period of time.

Moreover, after Li Xin and Diao Zheng's Zhonglu Army met with Luo Li's troops, they also drove to the Shanhaiguan area first. As long as Yan Chongxi and Wu Xiang supported their arrival in Shanhaiguan and blocked the Jiannu army from Shanhaiguan, there was basically no problem.

Xiao Tianjian still has full confidence in the generals under his command. The armies he built are not comparable to ordinary troops. Even if the Jiannu is fierce, he is also confident in his generals. His subordinates are only stronger than the Jiannu army and will never be weaker than the Jiannu army, so although he adds The strength of the Central Army, the front line of Shanhaiguan is still much weaker than Jiannu. He also believes that there are generals under these groups. Even if Jiannu uses his strength to eat milk, he can't beat Shanhaiguan.

So after he attacked Cangzhou, he began to feel much more relaxed. He followed the canal more steadily and led the remaining right army all the way to Tianjin Wei.

On the whole, they did not suffer any strong resistance from the Ming army along the way. Although the defenders and officials of the Ming army in some cities did not fall, at most, under his front, there are almost no cities that can last for two or three days. Many states and counties along the way are often under the front of his army, for a day. He couldn't hold on, so he announced that the city was broken, so the right army did not lose much on the way. On the contrary, they also surrendered a lot of Ming troops.

(At present, I have two immature ideas for the new book, which are very entangled. I want to discuss it with you. The first idea came out very early, that is, to write a novel about the killing of ghosts by the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Myanmar. The second idea is to write another ancient book. Novels about sea warfare! It's really entangled, so I just want to ask my brothers. I set two options in the voting area. Let's choose! How about giving me an idea? In addition, I would like to thank the fadespecter brothers for their reward today! There are so few updates today, and I'm really sorry to give you a reward!)
