The soldier said: "They came by boat, and there were only a few hundred people."
It turned out that after the capital received the news last night, when Song Yingxing, Yang Lian and others set off urgently, it was already evening when they set off from Dagu.
Although when the fleet was established, there was already training on navigation and experienced sailors were recruited.
But night sailing is a very dangerous thing after all.
Therefore, the speed is not fast.
It wasn't until after dawn that we increased our power and sailed towards Lushun. After getting the general news from the Lushun garrison.
Yang Lian and Song Yingxing discussed to bypass Lushun and head towards Zhangzi Island, and finally sail into the Yalu River and stop in Zhenjiang.
The straight-line distance from Dagu to Lushun is about 280 kilometers, and to Zhenjiang is about 300 kilometers. Of course, the sea route is complicated and it is impossible to travel in a straight line.
From Zhenjiang Landing to Tang Station to Phoenix City and then to Tianshui Station, the land route is only a few dozen kilometers away. If it were not for carrying luggage, it would not be so slow!
In ancient times, most counties and cities were smaller than modern times due to transportation problems. These places, except for Tianshui Station, basically fell under the jurisdiction of Dandong City. However, in the Ming Dynasty, they were divided into several territories.
Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli hurriedly arranged to welcome him.
An hour later, the two parties met.
Without time to exchange greetings, Yang Lian asked: "What is the situation now? Where are the empress and the Marquis?"
Sun Chengzong explained the situation.
Yang Lian and Song Yingxing both breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Lian said: "Supervisor Sun's analysis is correct. The empress and the Marquis must be scattered nearby! Tomorrow we will search separately and we must find them!"
Everyone nodded.
Yang Lian said: "When we set out from the capital, we heard that Yuan Shou was attacking Shengjing. We didn't expect that one day and one night, Liaodong would be in such a situation. It was really an unprecedented victory! You have made great contributions to the country and worked hard. I only wait for the empress. Peace with the Marquis, I will definitely give you credit!"
Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Zu Dashou, Man Gui, etc. all dare not even say it.
Sun Chengzong sighed: "Compared with the safety of the empress and the Marquis Zhongyi, these merits are nothing. I failed to take good care of the empress and the Marquis. I am ashamed of the Ming Dynasty. If the empress and the Marquis Zhongyi are unfortunate, I, Sun Chengzong, will take the responsibility for it." Apologize to death!"
Yuan Keli said loudly: "No! This is an accident, and the governor took precautions and sent Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, and Zu Dashou in advance to make arrangements in advance, and the governor immediately led the army to march! If the governor had not handled it properly, there would have been nothing else. , even the news may be known to our army one day later. It is precisely because of the careful arrangement of the supervisor that the current situation is achieved, and the empress and Hou Yeji have their own destiny!"
Yang Liandao: "Master Yuan's words are reasonable. The supervisor has made great achievements and has no fault!"
Song Yingxing said: "I have five hundred soldiers from Dahuang Village, with one hundred powerful cannons. We will capture Tianshui Station tonight, and then Kuoyang Fort tomorrow. We will rely on Governor Sun and Master Yuan to search for the empress and the Marquis!"
Yuan Keli was overjoyed and said: "I have long heard that Dahuangzhuang's artillery is extremely sharp. We have never had the opportunity to see it. It's just that you have been tired all the way. Do you want to rest for a night and attack again after dawn tomorrow?"
Song Yingxing shook his head and said: "The sergeants were very angry and vowed to give Jiannu some color! Let them know the consequences of plotting against the empress and the marquis! They have been asking for a fight, and they all want to find the empress and the marquis as soon as possible and take them away as soon as possible. We can also search more easily by going down to Tianshui Castle and Kuoyang Castle."
Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong nodded.
Now that the plan has been decided, Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong immediately asked people to notify each camp.
Half an hour later, all the ministries had gathered in front of Sweetwater Castle.
All the bonfires and torches were lit, and there was a bright light in front of Sweet Water Castle.
The reason why there is no money and troops gathered. Or only call some soldiers.
The main reason is that if there are no proper arrangements at night, it is very easy for camp roars to occur, especially when Song Yingxing's artillery makes such a loud noise.
The soldiers looked curiously at the artillery lined up in front.
Inside the fort, Amin has assembled more than 15,000 troops.
The north door has quietly opened.
The wreckage of the plane was also set up, ready for escape at any time.
Mang Gurtai said goodbye with a smile.
"The Ming army started to bluff again. This will make it easier for Erbeile to break out."
Amin smiled and nodded and said, "Take care!"
He said that he was about to command out of the city.
suddenly.
A thunderous rumble sounded violently, followed by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, carrying black things across the sky and falling towards the castle.
The slaves were shocked!
He had no idea what was going on, and his brain had no time to react.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of cannonballs landed!
"Boom boom boom!"
Flowers exploded everywhere in the Sweet Water Castle.
Seven or eight artillery shells fell directly on the team of more than 10,000 people.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere!
Immediately afterwards, there were loud screams.
Amin was also frightened and fell to the ground!
The horse happened to be hit by a cannonball, and in an instant it turned into a rain of blood!
Both Mang Gurtai and Amin were covered in flesh and blood.
"Artillery, the artillery of the Ming army!"
Both of them exclaimed!
It turned out to be artillery, and there were so many doors!
There was despair in both of their eyes!
Sweetwater Castle is in chaos! There are raging fires in many places!
All the soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies, shouting in terror.
Many people fled towards the north gate! The fort gate is blocked!
Just when Sweetwater Castle was in chaos, the deafening sound of shelling sounded again!
"Boom boom boom!!"
Dozens of shells fell again, and this time the effect was even more terrifying!
Because there are more than ten burning rounds mixed in it.
With the oil splattering everywhere, there were more places on fire in the entire Sweet Water Castle!
"Let's go!" Mang Gurtai shouted at Amin. The two grabbed the horse and fled towards the north gate!
A cannonball fell at the north gate, which opened the way for Jiannu.
Under the leadership of Mang Gurtai and Amin.
The remaining more than 10,000 Buddhist slaves followed the two men in panic and fled northward.
Of course, the remains of the mythical beast Fire Phoenix will be taken away even if they die, so there is no need to worry.
"kill!"
Cao Wenzhao's tribe and Mangui/Zu Dashou's tribe, who were ambushing on both sides, shouted and killed them!
Jiannu was even more panicked!
Song Yingxing did not shell again.
Sun Chengzong and others looked at the Sweetwater Castle that had turned into flames, and they all turned pale with horror.
Who can stop this heaven-destroying weapon?
With only two rounds of shelling, Jiannu might have suffered thousands of casualties! A castle burned to the ground!
The soldiers and generals were also stunned!
The Liaodong Army had all seen artillery, especially the Hongyi Cannon built by Sun Yuanhua in Ningyuan. At that time, the Liaodong Army thought that the Hongyi Cannon was already very powerful!
But compared with the divine cannon developed by Zhongyi Hou, it pales into insignificance!
A quarter of an hour later.
Sun Chengzong ordered gold to withdraw his troops.
Ancestor Dashu lived in Guangxi, and Cao Wenzhao and his two men turned back soon.
"What a pity. If it were daytime, none of these slaves would be able to escape!" Sun Chengzong sighed in his heart.
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"
More than 30,000 Ming troops gave out loud shouts.
With such great power, how could the Ming army not get excited?
Yuan Keli sighed: "It's better to be famous than to meet! This divine cannon is so powerful!"
Yang Lian also said: "Now it seems that when Marquis Zhongyi and his wife bombarded the capital that day, they turned out to be merciful!"
Man Gui said excitedly: "If our Liaodong Army had powerful cannons, it would be easy to deal with the Jian Nu!"
Song Yingxing smiled and said, "General Mangui, these one hundred artillery pieces were originally meant to be reserved for the two supervisors after this battle."
All the generals were overjoyed.
