From Shengjing to the southeast, there are Lianshanguan, Tongyuanbao, Fengcheng, Malanyu, Panjiakou, and Zhenjiangbao.
When the attack ends at Zhenjiang Fort, Hou Jin's power ends here, or in other words, the area directly controlled by Hou Jin ends here.
Last year, Zhenjiang Fort fell into the hands of Dongjiang Town. In fact, Malanyu and Panjiakou became the front line in the southeast of Hou Jin Dynasty, and also the front line with the largest number of troops stationed in it. Because of the obstruction of Kuandian Swamp, they were stationed in the southeast.
Heavy troops are obviously an extremely uneconomical thing. Basically, once Kuandian is lost, the flaw of Hou Jin's side's weak troops in the southeast direction is immediately revealed.
This is also an important reason why Jiang Wan dared to form the East Route Army and set off directly from Malanyu to advance in the direction of Shengjing.
With the strength and number of the East Route Army, it would be difficult to resist the East Route Army's advance simply by relying on the passes and military forts along the road to Shengjing without reinforcements. However, Jiang Wan's Zhenjiang Fort could not resist the advance of the East Route Army, even if it cooperated.
The Eastern Route Army will not allow too many Houjin reinforcements to return to the southeastern front.
After the battle with the Tartars' white flag and blue flag, the battle report was quickly sent to Jiang Wan.
After this battle, the morale of the Eastern Route Army was greatly improved. At the cost of only losing hundreds of men, the entire army confirmed the fact that the Tartar cavalry was actually vulnerable, and the morale of the Eastern Route Army was greatly boosted.
Almost on the same day that the frontal area was withdrawn, the East Route Army began to advance towards Fengcheng. Although the troops advancing every day were only ten or twenty miles, but even with the harassment of the Tartar cavalry, the entire East Route Army
The army is still moving unstoppably towards its goal.
By the way, the harassment by the Tartars did not actually have much effect. In the face of firecrackers and cannons, the Tartars suffered repeated defeats. Apart from losing a lot of men and horses, they did not play much of a blocking role.
However, battles involving more than a thousand people never appeared again after the first battle, and the Tartar army seemed to have disappeared.
However, none of this is something that the Eastern Route Army is concerned about. If the enemy army disappears, they will capture the enemy's city. If the enemy army comes to fight, they will not hesitate to eliminate the enemy's effective strength.
After several days of fighting, the morale of the entire Eastern Route Army was getting stronger day by day, and their tactics became more and more proficient.
One thing is that the ammunition for artillery and muskets is consumed too quickly. In the battle reports given to Jiang Wan by the East Route Army, except for the daily battle reports, they are basically the same as daily requests for ammunition replenishment. On the contrary, Jiang Wan is ready at any time.
The thousand-man team that supplemented the Eastern Route Army was not added to the combat strength, but became almost a full-time heavy supply force.
The supply of baggage and supplies from Malanyu to the Eastern Route Army was almost never cut off.
On November 11, the Eastern Route Army encountered a section of the Tartar Zhengbai Banner and wiped out hundreds of enemies.
On November 14, the Eastern Route Army faced off with more than 5,000 men from the Tartar Zhengbai Banner and a section of the Xianglan Banner. They repelled the enemy at the cost of more than 500 of their own men and wiped out more than a thousand of them.
On November 20, the Eastern Route Army captured Fengcheng and annihilated more than 500 defenders.
"The Nanhai Battalion is deploying a thousand-man team to supplement the troops of Xu Jian and Xu Xianchun!" Zhenjiang Fort was reached. Faced with the complicated battle reports, Jiang Wan decisively issued an order: "Wu Sangui is also ordered to speed up the elimination of the enemy in Kuandian.
With the speed of the remnants of the army, the battle line has been pushed to Fengcheng, and the entire Kuandian cannot become a problem that I, Dongjiang Town, should worry about!"
Gao Xingsheng beside him recorded his order and quickly transmitted it.
"In Liaoyang, has there been any change in the main force of the Tartars now?"
Since the East Route Army transferred Azig's Zhengbai Banner, the communication between Zhenjiang Fort and Liaoyang has basically been unimpeded. Although it is still unable to contact Liaoyang City, the mobilization of the Tartar army that besieged Liaoyang City has basically
It could no longer be hidden from the eyes of Zhenjiang Fort’s scouts.
The scouts of Zhenjiang Fort may not be sure of the direction of the Tartar brigade going in other directions. However, if the enemy troops are coming from the southeast, the scouts of Zhenjiang Fort will definitely be paying attention at all times.
.
"It has been half a month since the fall of Xiguan, and the Tartars have mobilized all the troops and horses to attack Xiguan to Liaoyang!"
Gao Xingsheng replied: "Except for the few thousand people with the blue flag who left the Liaoyang battlefield, basically until now, the Tartar army is still mainly paying attention to Liaoyang!"
Gao Xingsheng just stated the facts: "Now, both Lu Xiangsheng and Huang Taiji have reached the final critical moment. If whoever can withstand the final pressure, then whoever can get the victory they want!"
"Can't we mobilize the troops and horses from Liaoyang?"
Jiang Wan laughed: "That means I, Dongjiang Town, haven't worked hard enough. Facing the direction of our Zhenjiang Fort, Huang Taiji must have prepared troops and horses for us. If we don't move, they won't dare to move either!"
"It should be the soldiers and horses of Jierhalang Zhenglan Banner!"
Gao Xingsheng replied: "According to Wei Qi's information, this person has never been taken seriously in Huang Taiji's eyes. Thousands of his people are placed in the direction facing us. There are quite a few who don't love me.
That makes sense!"
"Can I fight?"
"Weiqi's statement is that it is incomparable to Azige, and it is even less comparable to Amin. It is just slightly more powerful than Han Junqi!"
Gao Xingsheng said: "The Eastern Route Army broke into Fengcheng. The Tartars who came to reinforce were Amin's blue flags, and they did not ask the nearest Jierhalang to come for reinforcements, which already illustrates this problem!"
"Then don't touch him for now!"
Jiang Wan pondered for a moment: "At this time, we are becoming more and more calm. Huang Taiji thinks that our Zhenjiang Fort will go to reinforce Liaoyang, but we refuse to let him get his wish and let Li Zicheng rest for two days until the soldiers and supplies are replenished.
Once we're in place, we'll continue to get closer to Tongyuan. I'd like to see how long Amin can endure it?"
"Commander, there should be almost enough food and grass on Pi Island!"
Gao Xingsheng nodded, and then reminded Jiang Wan: "Do we need to send more manpower to keep an eye on them?"
"Don't worry, it's time. If Song Jian wants to do something, the time will almost come, if what I predict is good!"
He pondered for a moment: "Let the scouts strengthen their patrols in the direction of Pi Island. Whether they are going to Liaoyang or coming towards my Zhenjiang Fort, I want to know immediately!"
"Understood!"
Gaoxing Sheng nodded and walked out to issue orders.
Today, the general hall of Zhenjiang Fort is busier than ever. People in military uniforms can be seen coming in and out at all times. Military reports coming from all directions are collected, screened and returned here.
and then promptly sent to the decision-maker Jiang Wan. Various orders, ranging from the mobilization of troops to the distribution of supplies, were also passed out from this hall and then sent to those waiting outside.
In the hands of the messenger.
As for the cavalry battalion originally organized by Jiang Wan, most of its combat missions have now been cancelled. Due to the limited number of war horses, in addition to sending out cavalry to deliver orders, most of the remaining ones are deployed to various scout teams. This has changed Zhenjiang Fort's eyes and ears.
