The army in Dongjiang Town became a lonely army. In a sense, the Ming court had given up on this army.
Most people in the Dongjiang Town army cannot feel such a thing.
However, even if they felt it, they didn't think it was anything special. It was just a lone army. Ever since the military town was set up in Dongjiang Town, it had been a lone army, and they had long been used to it.
On the contrary, Jiang Wan's promotion to the commander of the Liaodong Capital Division is something that they think deserves more attention. Although the Liaodong Capital Division is probably the only one left in Dongjiang Town, the Liaodong Capital Division's airs are still there.
There is no doubt that the room for improvement here is much higher than in Dongjiang Town.
In the past, Jiang Wan served as the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town. As Jiang Wan's subordinates, even the most outstanding ones with the most outstanding military exploits, they only dared to think about taking another half step forward. If they could become deputy commander-in-chief
, then it has reached its peak.
But now, if nothing else, under the Liaodong Dusi, everyone can be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief based on their military exploits. This is very reasonable, right?
Wu Sangui thought so too, and his ideas were much hotter than those of his other colleagues who were generals. So as soon as the New Year was over and he was still in the first month, he submitted "About
Nanhae Battalion completely wiped out the remaining enemies of Haman Prefecture".
It is naturally self-evident to whom this request for instructions is directed.
In the young war, all battalions made contributions, especially the East Route Army led by Li Zicheng, who commanded the Guards Battalion and the Nanhai Battalion. Not only did they push Dongjiang Town's sphere of influence to the front line of Fengcheng, but they also fought against the Tartar Brigade.
At that time, he took on the task of blocking the encirclement and achieved great results.
If purely based on military merit, if there is anyone promoted from the position of general in the Liaodong Capital Division, it is Li Zicheng.
Wu Sangui was so envious that his eyes turned green.
And after the New Year, around Kuandian Fort where he was stationed, there were East Route Army troops in front of him. Looking around, it seemed that he was the only one who could take action, and the only one who had been huddled in Xian'an Prefecture in North Korea since the city was changed.
Li Yongfang and Li Sizhong are here.
This winter, Li Yongfang and Li Sizhong were very honest. Even if the fighting in Zhenjiang Fort was in full swing, they did not make any move. However, Wu Sangui felt that they were honest, but honesty was not a reason not to beat them. Anyway, Dongjiang Town would regain Liaoyang in the future.
If so, he would never leave such a thorn in his flesh behind him.
In this case, it's better for him to strike first, lest Jiang Wan put this matter on the agenda and the job would be fought over again.
The reply from the military and political yamen came quickly, and reinforcements were also sent to him.
The current available military strength of the Nanhai Battalion does not exceed 3,000. Although a group of new soldiers were added to them after the city change, the combat power of these new soldiers is basically not expected, and Wu Sangui can count on it.
, that is, the three thousand bones he originally had.
He still needs some manpower to stay at Kuandian Fort. The actual number of troops he can send is only about 2,000.
Although he was full of confidence, it was still a bit overwhelming for two thousand infantry to attack an army that occupied a city and the total number of the army was six to seven thousand.
The cavalry battalion was ordered to be transferred to Kuandian Fort, and was temporarily under Wu Sangui's control during the Battle of Xian'an Prefecture.
This was an unexpected surprise for Wu Sangui. It meant that even if he defeated the remaining enemies in Xian'an Prefecture, the cavalry battalion would still have enough maneuverability to pursue and suppress the remaining enemies. He no longer had to worry about scattering them.
There are so many mountains and plains that I can’t catch up with anyone.
"Not only is my cavalry battalion, there is also a support group on the way!"
After Zu Dashou's death, Zu Zehong completely surrendered to Jiang Wan, and this cavalry, mainly built with the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, finally had the appearance of a cavalry battalion after the war a year ago, and a large number of captured war horses were
He was assigned to the cavalry battalion by Jiang Wan. Today's cavalry battalion has strong men and horses. When they arrived at Kuandian Fort, they seemed to be taking over the host.
"Are there any reinforcements? The commander is really taking care of me!" Wu Sangui rubbed his hands excitedly: "That battalion's soldiers and horses, how long until they reach my Kuandian Fort?"
"I don't know about this!" Zu Zehong said: "However, since the military and political yamen have approved your plan, the war against Li Yongfang and Li Sizhong's troops in February must be ended before spring plowing, presumably by the time of Kuandian Fort
, just for these few days!”
While the two were talking at Kuandian Fort, a group of people was working hard to march towards Kuandian Fort in the high mountains of North Korea. Although the weather was much better, the group was still moving very slowly. In the middle queue,
A big flag is moving slowly, and on the big flag, a huge word "Shen" is shining.
"My lord, my lord!"
Shen Juncen rode on the horse and looked at his troops with satisfaction. These were the soldiers that the Shen family had trained and recruited from various places for more than a year. The officers among them were all loyal warriors of the family without exception.
An army of soldiers and horses can be said to be the largest armed force in the history of the Hamgyong Doshin family.
And the loyalty of this army is beyond doubt.
"Say!" He frowned as he looked at the samurai who stumbled over from behind.
"There are more and more people injured and left behind. Please let me ask the adults if you can take a rest. We really can't walk anymore!"
"Trash!" Shen Juncen's eyes widened and he scolded the retainer: "A bunch of worthless losers have just walked so far and they can't move any further. If they defeat the Jin people, you will have to chase them.
, you can’t walk anymore!"
"Sir..." the retainer said sarcastically: "But everyone knows that Xian'an City has been occupied by the Jin people. This is what you told everyone, sir. Now you are leading everyone towards Xian'an City. Everyone knows that you are going
As a gold digger, it seems reasonable to say that you can't walk!"
"Why do we, the Shen family, raise a bunch of trash like you? When I heard about the gold miners, my hands and legs became weak. The cotton armor you are wearing now and the swords and guns in your hands are nothing compared to the king in Seoul.
The guards around you are all good, and you have such a good thing in your hands, but you are actually afraid of fighting?"
"Sir, it's not that brothers are afraid of war..." the retainer said weakly: "It's that the Jin people are too fierce. We couldn't defeat tens of thousands of us in the past, but now we can't defeat them with only two thousand of us!"
"
Shen Juncen looked at the sky and estimated the distance. He felt that even if the news was announced at this time, there would probably be no risk of leaks.
Only then did he reveal a slight smile on his face: "Of course we can't rely on our troops. However, this time we will not only rely on our troops to recover Xian'an. The Chinese army has already dispatched troops to Xian'an City.
, we are just helping in the battle, after the Chinese army captures Xian'an Prefecture, then it is time for our army to play its role!"
He looked at his retainers: "Pass my words on and tell them to move faster, the Chinese army won't wait for us!"
