Chapter 1146

But in any case, the original goal has been achieved, the new supply line has been opened, and he has ordered the North Korean province to transport all the materials hoarded for many days by sea. Once the materials reach Shicheng on the grassland, it will be even more difficult for anyone to deal with them.

When the supply line was opened and the news reached the northern Ming court, Dai Zong Zhu Qiyu was really in a hurry.

Killing Yang Chendong's layout in the whole grassland, or even uprooting it, is what he has done in the past year. Once the trip fails, not only more than a year's time will be wasted, but also the morale of the army will be greatly affected.

Zhu Qiyu absolutely didn't want to see such a thing happen. Although he was not fully prepared, he still gave an order to Shi Heng, the northern Ming governor at the front line of the grassland. He and the warla army also sent troops to Shicheng first. In any case, he had to solve it before the supplies of the five-star army were delivered.

At the same time, Zhu Qiyu sent someone to tell General Li Tong, who had sent troops and was going to reach Liaodong, that Xu Sheng was not allowed to lose in the face of the five-star army, even if it was a draw. In short, the main force of the five-star army should be blocked in Liaodong, so that they could not support the primitive city of Cao.

The Emperor gave orders one after another, and the situation in Eastern Liaoning became very tense. On the grassland, the war was about to break out, and the situation was even more severe.

With the help of Xu Youzhen, a senior official, the news that Zhu Qiyu was going to fight Shicheng was soon sent by telegram. After discussing with the City Master Yu Mian, Hu Mang, the commander of the new army, immediately ordered that the whole city be under martial law and strictly check the identity of the recent visitors of the city. Yang Si, who was in charge of logistics, took the soldiers and began to lay mines to stop the joint attack of the northern Ming army and the Wara cavalry.

Compared with the slow speed of the telegram, Shi Heng, the northern Ming governor who had occupied Dalu City, received the emperor's order to send troops on the 4th of the evening.

"What's the matter? We'll attack right away. Our army hasn't been fully assembled, and all the food and grass haven't been in place." Shi Heng was very dissatisfied with the imperial edict in front of him. But when he saw Zhu Qiyu saying "urgent" at the end of the imperial edict, he knew that some things were not up to him.

"Just send troops and order the forward general to lead 20000 troops. Take one step first and make a momentum."

Shi Heng did this just to fulfill his will. He wanted to make some momentum. What he never thought of was that the 20000 vanguard troops were ambushed by the new army not far from Dalu city and before they came to Shicheng. It was only for more than half a day that the vanguard troops were defeated, killed and captured more than 10000 people, and only more than 50000 people finally escaped back.

After a blow, Shi Heng finally calmed down. He knew that in the face of such a powerful opponent as the five-star army, there might be all kinds of accidents if he was careless. So he pressed down the urging of the imperial edict, contacted him nervously, and asked him to send troops to cooperate. At the same time, he transferred 70000 Liaodong iron cavalry back to prepare for the attack on the city.

In Shicheng, Hu Mang, commander of the new army, cheered for the victory of the first battle. However, after knowing Shi Heng's preparation from the intelligence personnel, he did not dare to be careless. While doing strict guarding of the city, he sent a telegram to Yang Chendong and reported in detail what happened here.

After seeing the telegram, Yang Chendong, who was on his way to shuangchengwei, looked not happy at all, but frowned again.

"Young master, shouldn't tiger head be happy to win the war?" Yang Er, who followed around, noticed the change of Yang Chendong and asked some incomprehensibly.

"Yes, you should be happy to win the battle. But if you win the first battle, you're afraid it's not so easy to fight next. With this lesson, do you think the northern Ming army will underestimate the enemy?" Yang Chendong nodded first, and then looked at Yang ER in a rhetorical way.

By this question, Yang Er didn't know how to answer, so he had to touch his head and smile, "it's all right. There's a tiger head there. There won't be any problem in Shicheng."

"I also believe that Hu mang will not have any problems there in a short time, but it will be hard to say for a long time. Therefore, we should speed up our actions and can't continue to wait. In this way, we will order the whole army to speed up." Yang Chendong nodded his head. Although Hu mang has never complained about pain, Yang Chendong can imagine it, I haven't received any supplies for more than a year. Even if there were some stocks before, I'm afraid there won't be too much left now.

Under the command of Yang Chendong, the army accelerated the march again. At the moment, two hundred miles southwest of their destination shuangchengwei, 200000 reinforcements from Beiming have arrived, and they have gathered together with Chen dura, general Wei Command Department of Jianzhou Zuowei, who is waiting here.

Since Tong Long took three thousand cavalry soldiers to fight and was captured, Chen dura was like a king who retracted into his shell and couldn't come out. Even if you can see sporadic five-star army reconnaissance cavalry nearby on the city tower, you still turn a blind eye.

It was not until I heard that the 200000 reinforcements sent by the emperor arrived that I hurried out of the city and came out to work with some food, grass and military funds in the city.

Speaking of Chen dura and Li Tong, they are still old friends. Although their relationship is not very close, they can also be regarded as old friends. It's not polite to meet again. Maybe they know that now it's a grasshopper on a rope. They can't run away from me or you.

"General Chen, the situation is not so good. The five-star army is fierce. I'm afraid it's not so easy to pay." after Li Tongtong said hello to Chen dura, he entered the temporary account and talked about the situation in front of him.

"What General Li said is that the five-star army is strong and difficult to deal with. To be honest, not long ago, my commander knew that Tong Long was not satisfied, so he rushed out with 3000 cavalry. As a result..."

"What's the result?" Li Tong, who has been on his way, doesn't know what happened to Tong long, so he asked curiously.

As soon as the words were out, Li Tong thought of something. Looking at Chen durra's serious and depressed face, he already knew the result and had to shake his head. "I have to say that King Wunan is really difficult to deal with."

"Yes, they have the strongest cavalry in the world, as well as the most powerful firearms in the world. The most important thing is that he seems to have infinite wealth. It is difficult to restrict his development in terms of money." when Chen dura talked about these, he just shook his head.

Anyone who has one of them is already very powerful, not to mention all three points. With such an opponent, even if you have a large number of troops, I'm afraid you won't get any benefits.

After listening to this, Li Tong remained silent for a long time. He just looked up and said, "General Chen's words may not be long-term ambition. Destroy his prestige."

"Ha ha." Chen dura knew that Li Tong had seen the seriousness of the situation. He said so, but because the other party was the main general and needed to improve his morale, he just made a big face. To this end, he decided to give the other party a face. Instead of exposing him, he asked, "General Li, but I don't know how you are going to respond to the enemy, use these 200000 people to cover up and recapture everything you have lost?"

"No, No." Li Tong quickly shook his head. "The other party is a cavalry team. In terms of speed, we can't be opponents at all, or we should be more secure in defense. Besides, the emperor understands very well that we should stay here and prevent the king of Wunan from rushing to rescue the primitive city of Cao. If we do this well, it will be a great achievement."

Li Tong's positioning for himself was very clear, which made Chen dura very happy. "General Li is indeed a general of unified troops, which I deeply agree with. You know, Tong Long didn't ask for any benefits with 3000 elite cavalry before?"

"Ha ha, that's why heroes think alike." Li Tong also laughed up to the sky.

Hold Wu Nanwang's army in the form of defensive war and block the rush to Shicheng. This is the plan set by Li Tong for the 200000 army. If the fact is really like him, it can really give Yang Chendong a headache. Although it must be unstoppable, it can play a role in delaying time. In this way, Shicheng will be dangerous.

The policy is right, but ultimately it depends on who implements it. Just like the laws and governments issued by many countries are for the purpose of serving the people, but it may be completely different in the hands of the people.

Just like now, Tong long, who has just talked about it, has returned to Jianzhou Zuowei unconsciously and met his people here.

In Jianzhou Zuo Weizhong, in terms of population, although Han people are more than real women, when it comes to comprehensive strength, especially influence, real women are not strong at all.

This may be because the female immortal is more united than the Han people, or because they have lived in this area for generations, they can better adapt to the environment here. In short, the influence of the real woman in Jianzhou Zuowei is much greater than that of the Han people. Even if Chen dura, the commander, does everything depends on his face.

Not to mention that Chen dura is not in the city now, but it is a small matter of quietly entering the city. Tong long is naturally easy to catch. He not only entered the city, but also saw his father Tong Sheng, a big man with a higher figure than ordinary people.

When Tong Sheng was young, he was definitely a person who could shake three times when stamping his feet in this area. With the support of a group of old brothers, he really did a lot of things. For example, for the caravans traveling nearby, they must pay the road money to them, otherwise their safety cannot be guaranteed.

That is because Tong Sheng didn't understand Han culture. Otherwise, with the influence of his economic strength, he would have become a general among the generals of the northern Ming Dynasty. What Lao Tzu didn't do was finally handed over to his son. Fortunately, Tong long lived up to his expectations and with the support of his family, he finally took the position of commander and Tongzhi and became a military attache from the third grade.
