Chapter 2306 Gui Zi Scroll The decisive battle is imminent, life and death are determined (

 Second update!)

Fei Yingdong received two pieces of bad news almost at the same time.

Eyidu's army was crippled.

It's not that Eyidu's more than 10,000 people lost more than 7,000 combat effectiveness, but that he no longer has the ability to take the initiative to attack. He suffered heavy losses both in terms of numbers and morale, and he was reckless.

The news from Gurtai's observation came back that the losses of the Zhou army were not much greater than those of the Eyidu tribe. This was what troubled Fei Yingdong the most.

According to past practice, if more than 7,000 troops were to be eliminated, the Liaodong Army would have to pay at least 15,000 casualties. This was considered a relatively bad situation. In the past, there were also situations where a three-to-one defeat was achieved.

But now Mang Gurtai actually said that the Liaodong Army's losses would not exceed 10,000 at most. This is simply unbelievable.

He once had some doubts about Mang Gurtai's observation ability, and he also didn't believe Mang Gurtai's description of the ferocity of the opponent's firearms.

He has never seen the firearms of the Liaodong Army. How powerful can they be? Even if they are improved and replaced with new ones, how powerful can they be?

Fei Yingdong knew very well the combat effectiveness of the armored infantry under Eyidu. From Liaodong to the eastern Mongolian grasslands, no army could win over them. And the heavy armored cavalry could even break through the Liaodong infantry.

The killer weapon, combined with this, it will be difficult for the Liaodong Army to be undefeated.

Although the message from Er Yidu was somewhat vague, the experienced Fei Yingdong still detected some ominous information from it.

It is impossible not to report the loss of more than 7,000 people, so there is no way to cover it up.

However, such a heavy loss only resulted in less than 10,000 casualties of the Liaodong Army. This battle was an unmitigated defeat for the Jianzhou Jurchens.

It is impossible for the ordinary Liaodong Army to make Er Yi suffer such a loss. This only shows that Mang Gurtai did not lie. Through the update of firearms, the Liaodong Army's combat effectiveness has been completely improved.

Fei Yingdong was still full of doubts in his heart. Could it be that firearms were so powerful that they could make an army so powerful? But they had personally verified that the previous firearms were not as powerful as they imagined.

Fortunately, E Yidu sent a second letter to help Fei Yingdong resolve his doubts.

Fire cannons, as well as fire cannons with greater range and power, and a small artillery that can be fired intensively, brought unimaginable damage to the armored infantry, which directly led to a change in the outcome of the entire battle.

Before Fei Yingdong could recover from the defeat at Eyidu, Daishan's request for help came again.

Fei Yingdong, who was furious, saw the complaints in Daishan's letter before he could get angry.

The same firecrackers, the same heavy firecrackers killed the cavalry, and the bombardment of small cannons made it almost impossible for anyone to stand on the wall of the entire Huabao Fort, making everyone cry and howl in fear.

This time Fei Yingdong can confirm that there has really been a huge change on the Great Zhou side, that is, a qualitative change in weapons.

Although Fei Yingdong still doesn't know how far this change will go, he has realized that this change has made the combat effectiveness of the Zhou army visible to the naked eye, and the situation against the Jianzhou Jurchens has been at a disadvantage from the original.

Mainly on the defensive, it gradually began to gain the upper hand and started to have both offense and defense.

"Weiqi, Mang Gurtai, what do you think?" After handing the letter to the two of them and letting them read it, Fei Yingdong asked in a deep voice: "You already know the situation over there in Eyidu. He

The Liaodong Army took the initiative to fight yesterday, and everyone dared not refuse to fight. However, the opponent was still defended by soldiers with swords, shields and spears, and the fire and gun soldiers fired intensively. Everyone fought in front of the village gate.

, the loss is not small,..."

This news was not included in the letter. It was brought orally to Fei Yingdong by the messenger, which made Mang Gurtai and Wei Qi take a breath.

This Zhou army refused to give up. Even after taking one bite from Eyidu, he was still not satisfied and had to eat until he was full? This was different from the performance of the Liaodong army in the past.

In the past, even if the Liaodong Army only won a small victory, it would have to rest for a long time. To claim credit and reward victory, it would have to be sent to the capital city to collect rewards. However, this time, the Liaodong Army also lost more than 7,000 people. The Liaodong Army was still not satisfied.

, are you still unwilling to give up? Do you really think that Jianzhou Jurchen has become a soft persimmon and can be manipulated at will?

"What Daishan said in his letter also reflects E Yidu's predicament. The Zhou army is different from before. I don't know if the Great Khan understands this. If the Great Khan is aware of the changes in the current situation, he may need another

Let’s think about tactics.” Fei Yingdong looked at the two of them and said.

Wei Qi was Fei Yingdong's ninth younger brother and a rare talent among the Gualjia family. Fei Yingdong was most optimistic about this younger brother, so he took him with him during the expedition.

Needless to say, Mang Gurtai, Wubaile.

However, Fei Yingdong always called Mang Gurtai by his first name, and Mang Gurtai never cared.

"Brother, the Han people have always been famous for smelting and making iron. It is reasonable to improve firearms, but it is still surprising that the power of firearms can change so much in such a short period of time. Didn't North Korea use the Japanese match ropes?

Have guns also been sent? We have all seen it. It is a bit powerful, but not to this level. There must be something weird here. There is also the small artillery that Master Eryidu said can be fired intensively.

Armored infantry becomes the best target, which should be a key."

Wei Qi is a careful thinker and likes to get to the bottom of things when considering problems, so Fei Yingdong attaches great importance to him.

Seeing Fei Yingdong's eyes falling on him, Mang Gurtai scratched his head and said dullly: "What does it mean that the Zhou army attacked Sanchaerbao and Huabaochong? The second brother said in the letter that the opponent's number was less than one.

Ten thousand people, but they were able to defeat the second brother's 6,000 people to the point where they couldn't even defend Huabaochong. Could it be that the other party really planned to surround Huabaochong and devour the second brother's thousands of people? Their appetite and ambition were too big.

Alright?"

Fei Yingdong was silent.

E Yidu didn't explicitly ask for help in his letter, but Fei Yingdong understood that E Yidu couldn't hold on any longer, otherwise he wouldn't have written a second letter, and even explained the dilemma, both emotionally and rationally, in public and private matters.

, he must support E Yidu.

But what should Daishan do?

Fei Yingdong believed that Daishan did not lie, and that Daishan would not ask for help from him unless it was absolutely necessary.

It was not easy for Chu Ying to stay in seclusion. Now Daishan and Huang Taiji are the two most fiercely vying for favor around the Khan, and Mang Gurtai has to be moved to the back.

Asking for help from him at this time would undoubtedly make Daishan lose a lot of points with the Great Khan, but Daishan still did so, which shows how dangerous the situation over there is.

Wei Qi glanced at his brother cautiously, "Brother, Master Eyidu must be rescued, otherwise once the situation gets out of control, it will directly endanger our side. As for Erbeile, his headquarters was already in the last war. The losses were relatively large, so some complaints are normal. It is believed that he was so impetuous and fearful, which is enough to show that the Zhou army must have beaten him on the battlefield and he was a little unable to withstand."

"If Huabaochong is lost, he can retreat to Fu'an Fort, or move west to Yilushi and Fanhe, but this situation will be quite ugly." Fei Yingdong sighed, "But the current situation But they cannot tolerate us occupying both ends. The Liaodong Army must have seen this situation and continued to launch a fierce attack on Eyidu. We are now facing the 30,000 main force of the Northern Front Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but You Shilu Those who were still able to do well not only exerted their strength on Daishan's side, but also supported Eyidu's side, and Cao Wenzhao, who had been driven out of Liaodong, actually came back to fight Hu Erhan in such a stalemate. It's not that Cao Wenzhao Are you not in conflict with Zhao Shujiao?"

The situation seemed to have suddenly reversed.

The Northern Front Army came to help, and we were mentally prepared. After all, Shenyang was too important to Liaodong and the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was impossible to give up like this.

If Shenyang is abandoned, most of Liaodong Town will be lost. The east of Liaohetao and even the entire southern Liaoning will have to be abandoned. Only the cramped land of western Liaoning will be left. It can be said that if the Chahar people can be mobilized again, If we act together, the entire Liaodong Town and the Haixi Jurchens will be within our grasp.

But what happened to Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong?

In order to create discord between Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong, and other warriors from Datong, and Zhao Lijiao, Du Song, Liu Wei and the Zu brothers, they spent a lot of money, and this also relied on Li Yongfang's deep connections. , it was considered that the two parties were completely torn apart, and Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong were driven out of Liaodong.

Why did this man named Feng forcefully bring Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong back?

When did the civil servants of the Great Zhou Dynasty have such strong control over military commanders?

Moreover, looking at the brutal fighting between Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong and Hu Erhan, it seems that they were not doing anything perfunctory at all. This was completely inconsistent with the selfish style of the Zhou warriors.

"The key is still Feng Keng, the newly promoted right minister of the Ministry of War, the son of Feng Tang, and the governor with Shang Fang's sword. Perhaps it is the combination of these identities that allows him to command the entire Zhou army in Liaodong?" Wei Qi was also a little unsure, "But brother, the firearms of the Zhou Army are indeed extraordinary. Maybe we should think about it carefully. It is completely different from before. Our prediction has gone wrong."

What Fei Yingdong appreciated the most was his brother's careful and thoughtful thinking, and nodded: "I will explain this problem to the Khan, but now we have to solve the problems we face."

Wei Qi and Mang Gurtai remained silent, waiting for Fei Yingdong's decision.

"I have decided that the Eyidu side cannot make any mistakes, and the Daishan side can only let them retreat to the west to get closer to us. However, we must order them not to break away from contact with the other side and hold them back. I will send a cavalry to

In response, our primary enemy is still the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army on the front. Stopping them is the most important thing. The Great Khan should realize the problem and must capture the Tieling Acropolis within ten days!"
