Within a few days, two consecutive good news letters not only did not make Jiang Wan happy, but also made Jiang Wan a little suspicious.
It's not surprising that he was seriously ill.
The main reason is that this battle was too easy to fight. It was as if we had discussed it with the Tartars on the opposite side. Everyone cooperated so well.
Although those stationed in Kaizhou and Yaozhou cannot be regarded as the main force of Daishan, they are still serious soldiers and horses of the Mengba Banner. In the past few years, the soldiers and horses of the Mengba Banner were mixed with the soldiers and horses of the Houjin Baqi.
The battle with the Ming Dynasty's army was vigorous and impressive, with more wins than losses.
And facing the West Route Army, which is not even the main force of Liaodong Dusi, why did it suddenly stretch its hips like this?
The two thousand-man troops commanded by Cao Wenzhao only had 2,000 men in total. After capturing Kaizhou, Cao Wenzhao even took only half of the men with him before attacking Yaozhou. It is said that more than 200 troops were left behind on the way, even though Yao Chunyong had already
After a lot of effort, the number of firearms owned by Cao Wenzhao's troops reached 30% to 40%, but this was only the general standard for the main army.
The number of people is there. Even if they are all equipped with firearms, there are only one or two thousand people in heaven. Even if they want to conquer the opponent, isn't it normal to fight for three to five days?
But now that things have come to this, the battle situation has suddenly changed like this, and it has become more favorable to him. Even if Jiang Wan is suspicious, he can only bite the bullet and start dispatching troops. He can't take the city and give it away in vain.
Gave it to the Tartars.
The West Route Army began to mobilize its entire army. In addition to the necessary garrison forces in Pidao and Gaizhou, a large number of troops began to move towards Kaizhou and Yaozhou. At the same time, the main army of Zhenjiang Fort also began to mobilize.
Unlike the Western Route Army, which suddenly responded to the battle, the main army had enough time to mobilize troops and horses, replenish baggage, prepare for battle, and be ready to go to the Yaozhou front line at any time.
Precisely because the matter has reached this point, no matter whether the Tartars will try to recapture Yaozhou or not, it is inevitable to attack Liaoyang City. Although Jiang Wan was a little unprepared, he was able to pull the battle line to Liaoyang, far away from Zhenjiang Fort.
, which is also something he wants to see.
At the same time, Li Zicheng's East Route Army in Phoenix City also entered a state of war. Although the Tatars in Shengjing have not moved yet, it cannot be ruled out that the Phoenix City front line will encounter a surprise attack by the Tatars. If Li Zicheng's East Route Army
If he can contain part of Hou Jin's military power, then the pressure Jiang Wan will face in Liaoyang will undoubtedly be much relieved.
In fact, Jiang Wan still underestimated Hou Jin's reaction.
When Yaozhou fell, Daishan immediately made plans to defend Liaoyang and mobilized nearby troops, including part of Xiguan Fort's troops, to Liaoyang to replenish it. He also immediately sent a request for help to Shengjing without hesitation.
Urgent report.
At that time, Jiang Wan was still in a daze watching the good news from Yaozhou!
The news reached Shengjing and was delivered to Huang Taiji without any delay. In this season, the Ming army's unusual actions immediately attracted his great attention.
"Is it just an attack from the Liaodong Dusi side of the Ming Army?"
The news from Jinzhou, under Huang Taiji's instructions, was sent to him in detail, so that he and several Baylor and banner leaders could understand the situation and make decisions.
He was more worried, but the Ming army was dispatched in large numbers, and Jinzhou and Zhenjiang Forts cooperated with each other.
"Now it seems that the Ming army in Jinzhou has not made any changes, but the Ming army in Zhenjiang Fort suddenly launched an attack!"
Amin and Azige, as the few generals who have fought against Liaodong Dusi, are also waiting for punishment during this military meeting. Although they are also sitting on chairs, they are obviously determined.
If Huang Taiji didn't ask them questions directly, they would definitely not take the initiative to humiliate themselves.
The shame left by Liaodong Dusi was so great that even sitting here, they felt that everyone's military discussion was a mockery of them.
The answer to Huang Taiji was Yue Tuo, Daishan's eldest son, who held the red flag with Daishan. Unlike Amin and Azige, his father Daishan was stationed in Liaoyang at the moment, and he was more concerned about the war situation than anyone else.
"Who can tell me what is going on? Are the Ming troops in Zhenjiang Fort crazy?" Huang Taiji raised his head and looked at the crowd: "To use troops against us this season, not to mention their arrogance, is this
Do they not want to spend the winter this year, or are they starting to feel emboldened because they occupy Kuandian and Gaizhou?"
"North Korea was also invaded by the Ming army of Liaodong Dusi and occupied many places!"
Belabatai said with a dark face: "The rebellious ministers Li Yongfang and Li Sizhong who surrendered to the enemy are currently stationed in Korea with the rebels who have joined the Ming army. If the Liaodong capital can obtain money and food from Korea, they really don't have to worry about anything.
Seasonal and out of season!”
"You are confident!" Huang Taiji shook his head slightly. The products in North Korea were barren, and the Kuandian Swamp, which was hundreds of miles away, could not produce much. It was obviously impossible to feed the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Liaodong Dusi!
If the Ming army dares to take action this season, the only possibility is that the Ming court begins to increase their money, food and military equipment in a big way.
He thought about the fact that he had sent people to contact that Jiang Wan, but almost never got a good result. Whether it was the civil servants sent out or the military generals sent out, the news returned by Jiang Wan was...
The stones in the toilet are smelly and hard.
Moreover, his hostility towards Hou Jin was barely concealed at all.
It is almost impossible to win over such a person to persuade him to surrender, just like Yuan Chonghuan on the spot. However, Huang Taiji pondered. Since this person is so troublesome, maybe some of the methods used on Yuan Chonghuan can also be tried on this person.
Tried it.
"Great Khan, Liaoyang is in urgent need of reinforcements. The soldiers and horses under the red flag have been purged. My Yue Tuo is willing to lead the army to defend Liaoyang!"
When Yue Tuo saw that Huang Taiji had been silent for a long time, he thought he was weighing the pros and cons of sending reinforcements, so he suddenly shouted loudly.
Amin and Azig looked at each other, with a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes. Anyway, they were very sure that if Daishan was here, he would definitely not want to see his son and Zhenjiang.
Against those bright dogs in the fort.
Fighting with those bright dogs, I felt very aggrieved whether I lost or won!
"Reinforcements must be sent!" Huang Taiji nodded: "If Liaoyang is lost, our work last year will be in vain. Jiang Wan of Liaodong Dusi is much more dangerous than Lu Xiangsheng. I am sure that once Liaoyang is lost,
He has occupied Liaoyang, and he will never remain content in Liaoyang!"
"The great Khan is wise!" Yue Tuo said with a happy face.
"You raised the red flag in the last battle and suffered too many losses. I won't send you out this time. You should raise your troops better!" Huang Taiji looked at the important ministers around him with sharp eyes: "Which of you is willing to lead the army to defend Liaoyang?
Defeat that barbarian Jiang Wan!"
Even Huang Taiji didn't notice that when talking about Jiang Wan, a barbarian, he obviously paid more attention to the Ming army in Jinzhou. Perhaps because of last year's defeat, he had unconsciously attached great importance to the Liaodong capital.
The Ming army was regarded as the biggest enemy in front of him, and what he was thinking about at the moment was how to defend Liaoyang. Instead, as before, he energetically asked his generals - who will take Zhenjiang Fort for me!
