Chapter 191 Out of Customs

"The last general of the Liaodong Army has now reached the level of full members, and they can start to move at any time!

Two of the divisions have arrived in Ningyuan City, one is ready at Shanhaiguan, and two divisions have arrived at Yongping Prefecture from Laizhou, and can also exit the customs quickly!

At present, materials are also gradually hoarding. Tongzhou has now received a total of 300,000 stone military grain reserves, and also has a lot of ammunition!

Every day, sea ships arrive in Shanhaiguan, unloading a large number of grain, ammunition and other materials. Some ships went directly to Juehua Island to unload the goods, so that the materials in Ningyuan were also replenished a lot. With the reserves in Tongzhou, it was enough to use the Liaodong Army for two months! Therefore, the preparation of the Liaodong Army is enough to defeat the area of Jinzhou. If it goes well, the last general thinks that it is possible for us to take Yizhou or even fight to Guangning within two months!" Luo Lixing replied rushedly.

"How is the preparation of the Northern Army and the Northwest Army?" Xiao Tianjian nodded and then asked.

After hearing this, Diao Zheng immediately came out and replied, "In accordance with the order, the last general has strengthened the defense force in the area of Xuanda. At the same time, the two divisions have been transferred to the area of Dengzhou and Weihaiwei, and they can set out at any time!"

As for the cavalry division of the Northwest Army, it has now arrived at the Jizhou Chen station, and can also cooperate with the Liaodong Army at any time!

It's just the two divisions under the last general. At present, the personnel are ready, but the number of ammunition and tison guns has not met the requirements. It is continuing to be supplemented. It is estimated that the preparation can be completed within ten days at the latest!"

"What about the Guards?" Xiao Tianjian turned his eyes to Liu Yaoben again.

"In the beginning, the two divisions of the Guards and a regiment have now all arrived. At present, in addition to the order of one division being ordered to take over the defense of the Beijing Division, the remaining division has arrived at Weiwei Station!"

"That is to say, the assembly of the army has been completed now?" The expression on Xiao Tianjian's face relaxed.

"If you return to the Holy One, according to the plan, the Central Plains Independent Cavalry Regiment has also arrived in Dengzhou a few days ago, and all the people and horses are in place. Only after the materials meet the requirements, they can do it!" Li Xin nodded and replied.

After thinking about it for a moment, Xiao Tianjian asked, "What about the Northern Marine Division?" How are they preparing?

Li Xin immediately opened his mouth and replied, "Qi Sheng Shang, Xiao Rufeng, a marine master in the north, is now sitting in Weihaiwei in person. Their marine division has gathered more than 280 ships in Dengzhou, Laizhou, Weihaiwei and other places this time, most of which are about 400 large ships, and more than ten new ships have been built by Dengzhou Shipyard in the past two years. The large ship, plus three Western-style splint boats, and the civilian ships that can be temporarily requisitioned, the transportation capacity is enough to ensure that our army can transport the troops of one division to Xuanzhouwei, Pidao and other places at a time!

Within a month, 50,000 horses can be transported to Liaodong! Please rest assured!

However, Weichen thought that if we want to launch it, it would be best for the first batch of people and horses to be transported to Lushun Landing in Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute! In this way, you can..."

Xiao Tianjian raised his hand and interrupted Li Xin's words and said, "There is no need to talk about this matter. It is a predetermined thing to hit Pi Island first. I think that beating Pi Island and Yizhou, Xuanzhou, Zhenjiang (now Dandong) and other places is very important for the use of Jiannu soldiers this time. Not only can we hit a wedge on Jiannu's waist, but also It can deter North Koreans so that they can't watch the wind direction at both ends!

And after fighting Pi Island first, our army can make North Korea take out part of the grain to help the war to a certain extent, which can reduce our logistical pressure! As for Lushun, it is the second step!

How many defenders are there in Pi Island now? Has the Ministry of War has found out?

After Li Xin listened, he didn't say much. In terms of whether to fight Pi Island first or Lushun first, the opinions of the staff of the Ministry of War are a little conflict with Xiao Tianjian, but Xiao Tianjian is the emperor. Although he is not the commander-in-chief of this war, he still has the right to decide. After all, Pi Island is also good, but it can be achieved. The purpose of giving Jiannu's waist first, and it is also a means of exerting pressure for North Korea.

So Li Xin immediately replied, "The sea division has sent ships to inquire many times. Now there are less than 2,000 defenders on Pi Island, and most of them are Han troops. There are only more than 400 serrat soldiers on the island. As long as they move troops, there is no problem to take Pi Island in one fell swoop! Please rest assured!

In addition, Jiannu has 3,000 horses in Yizhou, and there are more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangbao, Weizhen, Xuancheng. They did not increase their troops. It is estimated that they still did not expect that we would start here, but in the Jinzhou area, Jiannu has a lot of people stationed!"

Xiao Tianjian nodded: "Jiannu forgot the pain after the scar. They forgot the lesson of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army at the beginning! Therefore, I think that it is better to hit Pi Island first than to fight Jinzhou first. Once Pi Island, Yizhou and Xuanchengwei are taken down by our army, their people and horses in Jinzhou will be transferred back, and it will be much more convenient to fight Jinzhou at that time! By the way, how about the strength of Jiannu's sailor?"

Li Xin laughed as soon as he heard this, shook his head and said, "Jiannu, how can you build any sailors!" Their ships are still some old ships of the Dongjiang Army seized in those years, and there are only dozens of them, which are not enough for our sailors to clean up! So the emperor doesn't have to worry. As long as the sailor moves, the broken ships of Jiannu can't pose any threat to the landers of my dynasty at all!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian was in a good mood and laughed, "The tartar is the tart. I don't know what the sea is at all!" It's their turn to suffer this time!

The key to this battle is the cooperation between the east and the west. If you want to fight, you have to attack both sides at the same time. Jiannu is caught off guard, so that they can't take care of each other.

But the most important thing is the East Road. This is the first time that the two sea and land divisions have fought together. Moreover, after the landing of the East Road Army, it is estimated that they can't get much replenishment from the local area at all. They must rely on ships to transfer their supplies to ensure their use! Whether it can be done well on the East Road depends on the ability of Haishi to organize transportation this time! It also depends on whether God is beautiful or not. As long as there is no big storm, then the East Road Army can take the life of Jiannu!

The two armies attack pincerly and go to Shengjing of Jiannu at the same time. What else can Jiannu do then? Ha ha! This battle can't be delayed for too long. Once you start, you must basically fight the battle before winter, and the time is only half a year at most. Once it gets cold, in the climate of Liaodong, our army can't continue to attack!

So you have to fight harder. In addition, what's the situation in the Mongols?

"Qi Zhu Sheng, several tribes from the Mongolian ministries have agreed that once I use troops against Jiannu, they are willing to send troops to cooperate with us to attack Jiannu. In short, this is an opportunity for them to take revenge, and they are willing to help!" Li Xin replied with a smile.

"Ha ha! The Mongolian ministries have been severely suppressed by Jiannu over the years. There is no advantage to follow Jiannu as a dog's leg, so they can turn around to act as our dog's legs. Since it is a dog's leg, we have to let them take advantage of it again. Tell them that as long as they work hard, the captured property and slaves can be given 30%. As a reward for them!

Also, have the conditions for Dorgom and Huang Taiji to negotiate with us spread? Xiao Tianjian asked one by one.

"It has already been spread out. When Weichen was in Nanjing, he secretly arranged to spread the conditions that the slave chieftain Taiji and Dorgi respectively sent people to negotiate peace with me. Now, according to the detailed retribution, Huang Taiji and Dorcon learned that when the other party was trying to use me to get rid of the other party, they were extremely angry. Huang Taiji has already The order was to remove the positions of Dorgon and Prince Dortuo and take back the control of the two white flags. However, Dorgon refused to accept the order to return to Shengjing to wait for the crime, but announced that Huang Taiji must abdicate. In short, the two sides are now at odds. If we don't do it, they will probably fight first!" Li Xin continued to reply.

"Good! The dog bites the dog's hair! They'd better beat out the pig's brain and pull it down! However, Jiannu is not a fool. Although they fight in-house, neither Huang Taiji nor Dorgan will fight now. They must have learned that I am gathering troops and preparing for the Northern Expedition, so now I think that although they are making a lot of trouble, they will not fight by themselves immediately.

We don't expect them to kill each other. It's up to us to solve them. Now it's April, and the time can't be delayed any longer. Once it snows in winter and can't defeat them, our army can't continue large-scale operations in winter, and before winter, we have to hoard supplies to survive the winter. Therefore, The faster you do it, the better!" After Xiao Tianjian smiled, he said to them seriously.

"Weichen (the last general) obeys the order!" The generals immediately replied with exhilaration.

"I'll give you another ten days to prepare, and it will start in ten days!" Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and shouted to the generals.

On April 13, it was set by the staff headquarters as the day of the beginning of the Northern Expedition. Xiao Tianjian personally rushed to Shanhaiguan, participated in the oath of the Dazhong army gathered in Shanhaiguan, and killed more than a dozen recently captured Jiannu and sneaked into the customs in public. After sacrificing the flag, he announced the start of the expedition.

After Xiao Tianjian threw the wine bowl on the ground heavily, he pulled out a sharp waist knife from his waist and raised it high above his head. The sharp tip of the knife pointed straight to the sky. The blade reflected a cold light and roared, "Kill the slave!"

Tens of thousands of Dazhong Army gathered in Shanhaiguan shouted like a tsunami: "Kill slaves! Kill the slave..." roar.

A group of people and horses made a rumble sound of footsteps, stepped on the drums of the drums and walked out of the mountain customs. All kinds of helmets gathered on the road outside the customs. The banners covered the sun, the iron armor was shining brightly, and the forest-like bayonet flashed with a little cold light, shining like the scales on the dragon's, and the doors were all kinds of doors. Cannon, under the drag of the mule and horse, the wheels of the gun car rumbled over the road and went out of the pass, and the columns of several roads mewerved like several dragons towards the pass...

After Xiao Tianjian's oath, he came to the gate tower of Shanhaiguan and stopped at the gate to see his soldiers from here to the battlefield outside the gate.

He knew that these soldiers were not the first people to spend. In Ningyuan City outside the customs, the first batch of two infantry divisions and one cavalry division of the Liaodong Army had rushed to Jinzhou City under the leadership of Luo Li this morning, and first launched an attack on the Jiannu who was stationed in Jinzhou.

However, whether it is the Dazhong Army from Shanhaiguan or the Dazhong Army from Ningyuan City, they all belong to the left army of the Northern Expedition. The commander is Luo Li. They are responsible for starting from land and launching an attack on Liaodong Jiannu.

At the same time, in the ports of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Weihaiwei, there are also a group of soldiers and horses of the Dazhong army, who are boarding a sea boat at the dock. As the East Road Army, they will launch an attack on Liaodong from the sea. The first goal of the attack is Pi Island of the Dongjiang Army founded by Mao Wenlong. After the first batch of people will land on Pi Island and capture Xuanchengwei and Yizhou, they will start from these ports and land in Lushunkou to attack Jinzhou, an important town in Liaodong.

The middle army in the east and west will be like two fists. In terms of one move in Taijiquan, it is a double wind through the ears, and at the same time launch a slam attack on Jiannu from the east and west.

In fact, such tactics are not new. If the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty did not have so much selfishness, and the Guanning army stationed in Ningjin strategically cooperated with Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army, Jiannu could not concentrate his forces to defeat them at all. The result proved that because of the various private affairs of these civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the two armies have been unable to cooperate with the use of troops against the Jiannu. As a result, the Jiannu is often able to concentrate their forces to defeat the Ming army all the way.

Later, the self-righteous Yuan Chonghuan actually over his power and killed Mao Wenlong, which led to the collapse of the Dongjiang Army and finally eliminated a confidant of Jiannu. Finally, Jiannu could safely and boldly let go into the capital. Therefore, whether Yuan Chonghuan was a traitor or not, he just killed Mao Wenlong. One thing, even if Chongzhen kills him a thousand times, it is not to wrong him.

However, nowadays, there is no problem that the two armies do not cooperate with each other. Although the communication of this era makes it impossible for them to quickly contact each other to cooperate tactically, there is only one task for both sides, that is, to constantly attack and then attack again until they attack the Shengjing City of Jiannu. Until the meeting.

Therefore, the Northern Expedition of the Dazhong Army was doomed that Jiannu would no longer be able to concentrate his troops to deal with the Dazhong Army like the Ming Army all the way back then.

And the Dazhong Army is not the Ming army that was greedy and afraid of death. Under the military system established by Xiao Tianjian, the Dazhong Army has surpassed the ordinary army of this era and become a strong modern army. No matter what you look at it, the Dazhong army can no longer be defeated by Jiannu like the Ming army in those years. .

There are so many soldiers who dare to go out of the customs. This time, they are doomed to the fate of Jiannu. The destruction of Jiannu is only a matter of time. Xiao Tianjian has no doubt that Jiannu will turn over and continue to become a nightmare of the Han people.

On the contrary, this army built by him is destined to become the nightmare of Jiannu after leaving the customs. From then on, they will tremble when they think about it.

Tens of thousands of people left the customs, which lasted for more than half a day. For most of the day, Xiao Tianjian had been standing on the tower of Shanhaiguan, looking at his soldiers going to the battlefield.

Every Dazhong military general who went out of the customs knew that their emperor was watching them at the gate at this time, so they took out their best state and rushed to the future battlefield. When everyone was out of the customs, they turned their heads and saluted the position of the Dazhong Chao dragon flag at the gate, and in the roar of the officers, Let out cheers and express their respect to their respected emperor.

It was not until the last man and horse walked far outside the gate and gradually couldn't see their backs. He relaxed his tense body and slowly said, "Go!" Go ahead! Go and return all the humiliations of our Han people to the descendants of wild boar skins! I will be here to welcome your triumph..."
