After the Battle of Zhenjiang Fort, Jiang Wan stayed here for five days.
While cleaning up the battlefield and dealing with post-war matters, Jiang Wan spared no effort in sending scouts in the direction of Shengjing. In the original plan, Jiang Wan was to wait at Zhenjiang Fort for reinforcements that might come from Shengjing.
It is a pity that these supporting troops have not been seen for a long time. However, the Hou Jin troops from Zhenjiang Fort to Shengjing have a faint tendency to gather. In addition to their own Eight Banners elite troops, the Hou Jin people have almost begun to
Mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized.
Much later, Jiang Wan learned that Shengjing had sent reinforcements of more than 2,000 people toward Zhenjiang Fort. However, the reinforcements had already turned back while they were still halfway there. What was in Huang Taiji's mind at that time?
Jiang Wan didn't know what he was thinking, but one thing was clear. In Huang Taiji's eyes, ten thousand Zhenjiang forts were not as good as one Shengjing.
The Ming army from Zhenjiang Fort began to march towards Shengjing. With Zhenjiang Fort as a bridgehead, Jiang Wan's Ming army could be said to have more than enough strength to advance and retreat. In previous years, after the Pidao Ming army landed ashore, they moved as if they were fighting guerrillas.
Xi Yi was dismissed and completely abandoned by Jiang Wan.
His intention is very clear. Based on Zhenjiang Fort, he can push as far as he can in the direction of Shengjing. If the Houjin Tartars dare not pay attention to his troops, he is very willing to go to Shengjing City to take a look.
Look at the scenery.
This is a conspiracy.
His intention is so obvious. I believe that Huang Taiji and his think tanks can see it clearly now, but so what if they can see it clearly. The existence of Jiang Wan's troops will not be affected by what they see.
Understand and disappear.
If this Ming army is not pushed back, Shengjing will be in danger.
To defeat this Ming army, it is difficult to be 100% sure based on the remaining strength in Shengjing. The safest way is to transfer the main force of tens of thousands of Houjin troops from Dalinghe.
But in this case, the people of the Later Jin Dynasty could only see Dalinghe City being built under their noses.
No matter how you choose, it is a difficult choice for Houjin.
Jiang Wan hoped that the Hou Jin army would be as arrogant as ever. In this case, it would play into his hands even more.
Mobilizing some of the soldiers and horses under Dalinghe City and joining forces with those from Shengjing is the most likely option for Houjin. For Jiang Wan, this is tantamount to opening up a second battlefield, which can still effectively reduce the risk of major disasters.
Linghe's pressure, and it's not certain who will win and who will lose!
Therefore, he was not in a hurry and pushed forward steadily, thirty miles a day, step by step.
Everywhere they arrived, they immediately set up camp to clear out Houjin's forces nearby, including but not limited to destroying all Houjin's military facilities and production facilities, plundering the place, and replenishing military rations on the spot.
This approach has been welcomed by the majority of officers and soldiers. For them, this is fighting.
The Tatars can go to the Ming Dynasty to burn, kill and loot, and the people of the Ming Dynasty can naturally retaliate tooth for tooth and blood for blood.
The consequences of the actions of this Ming army slowly began to show up after a few days. A large number of refugees began to migrate towards Shengjing. The Ming army drove behind them calmly, as if they were driving countless people.
Like cattle and sheep.
The only difference is that wherever the Ming army passed, whether it was military forts, villages or pastures, they were all turned into ruins, and not a single blade of grass grew anywhere they passed.
"It's useless. For everything you have done, our entire army will be returned to the Ming Dynasty!"
Wei Qi was not sent away, but was kept with Jiang Wan. The agreement between Jiang Wan and him was that he did not need to send Wei Qi to the capital, but in return, Wei Qi had to provide some information on the financial affairs.
Wei Qi readily agreed.
This was also his incomparable confidence in Hou Jin's army. Although he was defeated by this man, he believed that Hou Jin had enough people to deal with this young Ming general who didn't know how high the sky was.
The people of the Ming Dynasty may have merits in terms of intelligence, but when it comes to military bravery, the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty can definitely crush the Ming Dynasty, a miscellaneous Ming army.
"You are wrong. You are in the first year of junior high school and I am in the fifteenth year!" Jiang Wan shook her head: "Things in the world are just cycles of nature!"
Now Wei Qi is wearing a fur hat and thick cotton clothes, looking like a rich man. Of course Jiang Wan will not let him wear his own clothes - a Tatar wanders around in the Chinese army all day long.
What a thing!
However, Wei Qi refused to wear the uniforms of the Ming army even if he wanted to kill him. Finally, Gao Sheng gave in and gave him one.
Although what he wears is somewhat nondescript, if you are not a particularly familiar person and see this figure from a distance, you will not be able to tell who he is.
"snort!"
Wei Qi snorted. He knew Jiang Wan's purpose of calling him here. He closed his eyes and thought about it.
"This is it!"
"Is this right here?"
"Yes, you haven't encountered much resistance along the way. I think the Great Khan has transferred all his troops back to Shengjing. This is about seventy or eighty miles away from Shengjing. If you go further, you have to do something
It’s good to die here, the whole army is ready to be destroyed!”
"Talk about it!" Jiang Wan ignored him: "The two cities about ten miles ahead should be where your troops are stationed. We can get here without seeing your cavalry harassing us. I guess they have been waiting for us here!
"
"It's good that you know!" Wei Qi said calmly: "It is impossible to retreat. Such a long time is enough, whether it is to summon the soldiers and horses near Shengjing or to dispatch the soldiers and horses from other places.
If you dare to retreat, you will be defeated!"
"If you surrender, I will beg the Great Khan for a future for you!" Wei Qi said: "For a talent like you, the Ming Kingdom only gave you a visit. Come to our side, I guarantee that you will be no worse than the Ming Kingdom."
The official position of Commander-in-Chief!"
Wei Qi worked tirelessly to persuade Jiang Wan in front of him to surrender. The probability of the other party surrendering was very small. However, he believed that the other party brought him with him to leave a way out. Now that the Ming army is strong, the other party has no reason to surrender, but
, what if the Ming army suffered a major defeat?
"Don't challenge my patience!"
Jiang Wan glanced at the other party expressionlessly: "I want to know the situation of these two cities, how many troops are stationed, who leads the army, what is the character of the general who leads the army, tell me everything you know..."
"What if you knew?"
Wei Qi muttered, but spoke without hesitation: "The current situation is naturally different from the previous situation. If nothing else happens, there should be at least one Baylor here to lead the entire army. As for the guard general
and military strength must have changed..."
"That's not a problem for you to consider, just tell me what you know!"
Jiang Wan sneered: "I just want to know who will be my next loser?"
