The old slave was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Xiong Tingbi was counting the gains of this battle in Shenyang City.
It has been nearly four years since he passed through Liaodong. During this long period of time, there was not a day when he was not worried about the next attack by the Jiannu and was constantly being beaten passively.
He still vaguely remembered how heavy his heart was when he was ordered by Shenzong to go to Liao.
In addition to letting the old slaves invade, he also had to guard against the verbal and verbal criticism of him by the courtiers in the capital. He also had to scheming with the generals and powerful men to fight for power and profit. Every step he took was like walking on thin ice.
After the great victory in Shenyang, he clearly felt that the imperial court and His Majesty no longer paid so much attention to the old slave, otherwise they would not be so eager to attack the generals of Liaodong.
Regarding these borers, Xiong Tingbi understands their harm better than anyone else. He has also been suppressing the truth, but the effect is not very great.
After seeing the emperor personally take action, he basically stopped managing the matter and focused most of his energy on armaments.
Now that Lao Nu has suffered another major defeat, the power of the generals in Liaodong is getting thinner and thinner. As long as we continue to maintain stability, Liaodong will be completely renovated in less than half a year.
It was already evening when the statistics were completed, and the government office was extremely lively. Except for those responsible for the night watch, all the generals of Shenyang, big and small, gathered here.
"Hahahaha, this battle was really exciting. Didn't you see how embarrassed the slave chief Amin was? All the white-armored soldiers with blue flags were basically wiped out by me!"
As a veteran on the battlefield, You Shigong was dancing in the lobby and bragging about his military exploits last night.
He personally led the attack on the camp where Amin was located in the south of the city. Xiong Tingbi equipped him with all the elite cavalry in Shenyang City. When he rushed into the Xianglan Banner camp, he killed many Jiannu.
The only thing that made him feel regretful was that the slave chief Amin managed to escape under the desperate cover of those white-armored soldiers. It would be a great feat to cut off his head.
"You don't know that when I led my troops to rush outside his tent last night, the slave chief looked so panicked that he almost put his head in his crotch."
All the generals in the hall echoed the words one after another, and from time to time they would mention their own achievements and experience in this battle, for fear that others would not know.
Only Li Huaixin, the general of Xiong Tingbi's Biao camp, seemed like an outsider, sitting on the table and chair next to him and sipping tea carefully.
After a long time, Xiong Tingbi finally finished writing his memorial report. When he came out of the inner hall, everyone who was chattering a second ago immediately fell silent.
Xiong Tingbi looked at them in a good mood and said:
"Generals, you have been waiting for a long time. I have just received the documents from Liaoyang. General Li has led his troops to defeat Lao Nu. Liaoyang is free from worries!"
A general took the opportunity to flatter him and said:
"Congratulations to Taitai for defeating Lao Nu once again. In this battle between Liao and Shen, Tai Tai has shown his talents as a famous general. Lao Nu must be frightened after this battle. As long as Taitai is here, Lao Nu will never dare to invade the border!"
Although Xiong Tingbi was extremely disgusted with such flattery and flattery, on this occasion, he could not offend others and could only endure it helplessly.
He just smiled slightly, said a few polite words and didn't respond too much.
"Generals, I will report the merits of this battle to the capital and present it to Your Majesty as it is. Generals, please wait patiently for a few days. Then the court's commendations and rewards will be determined according to the merits of this battle!"
This is what the generals are most concerned about, and many of them want to take advantage of this to improve their military exploits by one or two levels.
Xiong Tingbi did not treat them too politely and quickly ordered his servants to serve several tables of wine and food. Tonight was destined to be another good day for bragging.
In addition to the great victory on the frontal battlefield, Mao Wenlong once again landed ashore at the North Korean border hundreds of miles away.
He repeated his old tricks and took advantage of the large-scale invasion of Liaoshen by the old slaves. He led his soldiers to attack Zhenjiang Fort again and killed more than 800 Korean surrender troops and 23 slaves.
Then, just like last time, he used Zhenjiang Fort as the fulcrum to attack Jiannu's rear in three directions. Due to the serious emptiness in Jiannu's rear, Mao Wenlong advanced all the way, and the soldiers left behind by Jiannu along the way fled.
Mao Wenlong attacked the fortress where Jiannu focused his defenses basically without any hindrance. This was the fastest and safest road from Hetuala. Mao Wenlong had to conquer this place.
Mao Wenlong's military strength is no longer what it used to be. He has more than 4,000 warriors under his command. They are all the kind who had their families destroyed by the slaves and had deep hatred.
In particular, Mao Wenlong's adopted grandson Shang Kexi hated Jiannu the most.
At the same time, with Yuan Keli's strong support, food, weapons, and armor were all available, and military pay was rarely in arrears. Therefore, Mao Wenlong's troops were extremely powerful, and they were probably no less generous than the servants of the Liao generals.
The armor rate of the Zhenjiang Army is also as high as 60%. Those sergeants who are brave enough to kill the enemy and have outstanding military exploits wear at least one layer of cloth armor, and some also wear a layer of leather armor or chain mail armor.
And with some naval warfare weapons and warships supported by North Korea, Mao Wenlong's maritime strength was also stronger than that of Jiannu. He finally met Zhu Youxiao's expectations, and he could advance, attack, retreat or defend.
Mao Wenlong's army was also equipped with a small number of small Fo Lang machine guns, which was an important reason why he dared to attack the fortress pass where more than a thousand Jiannu and some surrendered troops were stationed.
All the firearms in Mao Wenlong's army were handed over to his adopted grandson Kong Youde. At this time, Kong Youde was holding a telescope supported by Yuan Keli, carefully observing the fortress of Jiannu in front, looking for weak points in the defense.
It was Kong Youde's first time commanding a firearms army in combat, so he was quite nervous.
"Ready, let go!"
With an order, a dozen small Folang machine guns equipped by the Zhenjiang Army fired their first shot on the land of Liaodong.
Although Gushan Fort is said to be a fortress, it is actually just a few earthen walls. These were built by the Ming army back then, and the slaves did not strengthen the city defense here at all.
Although the power of the Xiao Fo Lang machine gun is not as powerful as that of the General Cannon and the Hongyi Cannon, it is a piece of cake to demolish such a defenseless earth wall.
After just a few rounds of shelling, the Gushanbao fortress collapsed. Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, who were appointed as vanguards, immediately raised their swords and shouted:
"My sons, follow me and kill the slaves to avenge your dead relatives and elders!!"
The Zhenjiang Army's morale was high after attacking all the way, and with the blood feud aggravating the situation, the Jiannu and surrender troops at Gushan Fort were unable to stop them. In just one hour, every one of them was killed by the Zhenjiang Army.
After a brief rest, Shang Kexi led 500 sergeants as the vanguard and began to march towards Jiannu's next military fort, Jianchang Fort. Mao Wenlong led a large force to follow up from a distance of five miles.
After breaking through the Gushan Fort, Mao Wenlong only spent three days to penetrate hundreds of miles behind the Jiannu, and successively attacked the Jianchang Fort, a wall fort, Songshukou and other pass fortresses. The Jiannu were all frightened when they heard Mao Wenlong's name.
