"During the month we went on the expedition, the Firearms Research Institute stopped all firearms assembly lines, and the entire institute rushed to build thunder cannons.
At present, 600 flying cannons and 30,000 flying thunder shells made of ordinary gunpowder have been built. It has been three days since the start.
Sun Chengzong ordered to recruit the people along the way, changing people and horses without changing carriages, day and night, and expected to arrive within eight to ten days. "
Looking at Sun Chengzong's report from above and listening to the emperor's introduction, Yuan Keli seemed to understand the emperor's thoughts: "Your Majesty, you mean to wait for these flying thunder cannons to arrive before we take the initiative to attack?"
Chongzhen walked out of the tent, took the telescope and scanned the battlefield. Looking at the corpses with broken limbs everywhere, and smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, Chongzhen's face became colder and colder.
"I was thinking just now, if I want to solve your problem of using the people to prevent us from attacking the city, we can only solve them outside the city, or even maim them, to make them despair, so that they will flee.
In this case, we can only take the initiative to attack. "
Having said this, Chongzhen put down his telescope and turned to look at Yuan Keli: "Yuan Aiqing, this is what I think. We will delay for a few days while building the bridge, disposing of the corpses, and waiting for the second batch of flying cannons to arrive.
At the same time, Ma Xianglin was ordered to lead his army to bypass Yingkou, Haicheng, Anshan and other cities to intercept the defeated Huang Taiji. However, this time needs to be grasped. If it is early, he will be eaten by Huang Taiji, and if it is late, he will not be able to stop it.
When the flying thunder cannon passes through Xingshan, a hundred of them will be sent to Ma Xianglin by boat to prevent Huang Taiji from directly attacking them.
Of course, in order to prevent Jiannu from counterattacking, we still need to build a large number of horse-rejecting stakes. "
After Yuan Keli pondered for a moment, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Ma Xianglin led his army to bypass the city. According to the past, this was absolutely impossible because the retreat would be cut off, but it didn't matter now.
The slave-building army has been assembled. Each city can only have one or two thousand regular soldiers and civilians at most. Attacking the city may take a day or two, and the casualties will be heavy.
But if the defenders in the city dare to leave the city, they can be easily killed by Ma Xianglin's strength.
It would be better if you don't come out. As long as the Jiannu coalition forces are defeated in one battle, the rest of the city will be fat on the lips and can be eaten at any time!
"Your Majesty, after taking the initiative to attack, we will definitely end up in a close fight. To be on the safe side, I suggest that we mobilize the Western Liao Army when we start to cross the river."
"It's up to you to arrange this! In addition, it's time to send the good news back to Beijing and print it in the Ming Dynasty Daily to cheer up the people."
"I obey the decree!"
Yuan Keli left quickly, and groups of sergeants gathered by the river.
An hour later, the spies came to report that the slave-building coalition forces had crossed the Hun River. The troops that had already assembled quickly crossed the river and began to clean the battlefield and clean up the corpses.
The scene of burning corpses outside Longjing Pass was once again staged on the right bank of the Liao River. Thick black smoke shot straight into the sky, and the pungent burnt smell permeated for miles around.
Three days later, two war horses entered the city of Beijing, hoisting flags and ringing bells, shouting: Get out of the way... Urgent military situation...
Under the gaze of countless people, the two cavalry rushed to Wenyuan Pavilion, and happened to meet Sun Chengzong and several members of the cabinet who had rushed out after receiving the news.
"Mr. Sun Ge, this is the good news that Mr. Yuan Ge sent back from Western Liaoning!"
Sun Chengzong's eyes were full of joy. After taking the box and inspecting it carefully, he quickly opened it and took out the letter, scanning it quickly.
After a while, Sun Chengzong looked up to the sky and laughed. He was completely different from the laughter and curses in the past. He was completely different.
"Come here, take them down and entertain them, and reward them with fifty taels of silver!"
"Invite Cao Huachun, the admiral of Dongchang, to come to Wenyuan Pavilion to discuss matters!"
After the guards at the side helped the two people who were delivering the order away, Han Huang and Li Biao stepped forward and said excitedly: "Mr. Sun Ge, what is it that makes you so happy?"
"Mr. Sun Ge, I heard that Liaoxi came to Tang to report?"
"Mr. Sun Ge, what did the newspaper say?"
"Mr. Ge, did your Majesty and others fight with Jiannu and others? What was the result?"
…
After hearing the news, all the six ministers and nine ministers came, asking questions all over the place, with anxious expressions on their faces.
In fact, the emperor had been gone for a month and no news had been sent back, which really worried them.
Sun Chengzong raised his hand and waved it gently, took a deep breath and said loudly: "Everyone, the information sent back by Mr. Yuan Ge,
On May 15th, Sun Chuanting, commander of the Forbidden Army, led an army of 60,000 across Liaoze. It took him an hour to capture Xinmin City, and captured Hauge, Saharian and many generals alive.
The more than 12,000 troops with yellow flags led by Hauge were completely wiped out. Sun Chuanting's troops were wounded 838 people and 437 were killed in the battle.
On May 15, Liaoxi General Zhu Mei led an army of 30,000 troops from Xinmin to Kangping... and wiped out more than 4,000 red-flag sergeants and thousands of defenders, thus cutting off the Jiannu's westward retreat to the grassland.
On May 18, the Northern Army led by His Majesty had already fought a battle with the Jiannu Army three days ago in Xidong'an, Liaohe River.
Nearly 70,000 Jiannu were wiped out. Our Ming army killed 2,162 people and injured 2,358 people, including 65 serious injuries and the rest were minor injuries! "
quiet!
Extremely quiet!
Everyone in the square in front of Wenyuan Pavilion was filled with astonishment, their mouths opened and their eyes full of disbelief.
After a while, Hou Xiu, the Minister of War, stepped forward and snatched the Tang newspaper from Sun Chengzong's hand. He quickly scanned it, and the rest of the people gathered around it. The small piece of paper was surrounded by three layers inside and three outside.
