"Hey, what is that?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't believe his eyes. "Could it be that what they are carrying on their backs is the 800-mile express? This... is it really the 800-mile express? These are two 800-mile express. Urgent courier?”
The Jianru people were a rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, and many of their systems continued from the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng recognized it, but he still couldn't believe it. Is there really an emergency eight hundred miles outside the city?
Amidst the sound of artillery fire, the shouts of killing, and the hail of bullets, Lu Xiangsheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately ordered to the guards around him: "You all will show me whether the two messengers are carrying A sign for the eight-hundred-mile expedited journey?”
"It seems...it's an urgent courier from 800 miles away!"
"Sir, yes, it is the urgent messenger from Eight Hundred Miles, I am sure of it!"
"..."
When Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards heard his order, they immediately gathered some energy and looked into the distance. Then, each one of them was surprised, either not sure, or responded to the Governor with great certainty.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. At this time, Jianlu came to Babaili to rush, which is definitely a very important matter. And what would allow Jianlu to use eight hundred miles of expedited messengers to deliver news would be anything other than something that endangers Jianlu's fundamentals.
Also, on the Korean battlefield, Jianlu took the absolute initiative. Not to mention that the main force of Jianlu has already gathered in Pyongyang. Even if not, other parts of North Korea would not be able to deal a major blow to Jianlu, so much so that Jianlu would have to send a messenger eight hundred miles away.
In other words, the two urgent couriers traveling 800 miles outside the city are definitely from Liaodong. And why did the Liaodong side send eight hundred miles of urgent messengers, and they sent two at a time? It must be the Guan Ning Army who sent out, and gave a heavy blow to the Jianlu, so the Jianlu in Liaodong could not cope with it, they Only then will an urgent messenger be sent eight hundred miles away to the main force of Jianlu!
In a flash of lightning, these thoughts flashed through Lu Xiangsheng's mind.
For the first time, Lu Xiangsheng shouted a little glumly on the battlefield: "It must be the emperor. The emperor must know about the war in Korea, so he asked Guan Ning to send troops to support our Dongjiang Army! Yes, it is definitely the emperor who gave the strict order. , Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and you often get surprises like this. I can guarantee that this is definitely your Majesty, and there is nothing wrong with it!"
His personal guards were also surprised, but after hearing his words, they couldn't help but asked with a little doubt: "My lord, didn't you send a messenger to ask for help?"
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was speechless. If calculated according to time, even if everything went well for the courier, there was no shipwreck, and there were no delays on the way, he would not have been able to respond so quickly. According to his estimate, the battle for Pyongyang will last at least half a year before the impact from Liaodong can be seen.
Needless to say, this was definitely not the emperor's reaction after receiving the news from the courier. Rather, before the courier arrived in the capital, the emperor had judged from various clues that there was a war in Korea and issued an order to Guan Ningjun early. side. Only in this way can the impact of Guan Ning's military support be seen so quickly.
Lu Xiangsheng could confirm this in his heart. The emperor had shown this ability several times before when he led King Qin's army to fight against Dorgon's troops. This time, it will definitely be no exception!
With a "boom", a stone as big as a millstone fell not far from Lu Xiangsheng, hitting a big hole in the city. The stone immediately injured many Ming army soldiers, and even Lu Xiangsheng's side was affected. Several guards on the outside were injured.
However, none of this could stop the excitement of Lu Xiangsheng and others. He immediately ordered: "According to my decree, all the city defense equipment can be used. As long as Jianlu's offensive is repelled, Jianlu will definitely retreat!"
At this time, the fighting was very fierce, with all kinds of noises, and they were resisting the siege of Jianlu. The inferences caused by the news of eight hundred miles of urgency could not be conveyed to the garrison. But Lu Xiangsheng can let go of his hands and feet, without considering the constraints of materials, and can do his best to improve defense.
Completely opposite to Lu Xiangsheng's mood when he saw the urgent messenger from Eight Hundred Miles, Huang Taiji felt his eyes darken at the first sight, his body swayed, and he almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, the yellow mantle's quick eyesight and quick hands helped him to stabilize himself.
"emperor?"
"His Majesty?"
"master?"
"..."
There was a chorus of exclamations. Suddenly, the Jianlu who were around were attracted to look over, and immediately found that their emperor's expression was a bit wrong. It seemed to be constantly switching between red and white, as if he was about to vomit blood.
Fortunately, Huang Taiji still held back. Seeing the two eight-hundred-mile urgent couriers getting closer and closer, he knew that something big must have happened in Liaodong, otherwise it would be impossible to send eight-hundred-mile couriers one after another to North Korea.
All the Jianlu leaders next to him also had ugly expressions. They were not fools, so they went together with Huang Taiji: something big happened in Liaodong!
Sure enough, after the first messenger arrived, he immediately panted and loudly reported: "Your Majesty, Gaizhou was attacked by the Ming army..."
First it was Haizhou, then Anshan Yibao, and then Gaizhou. So many places were attacked by the Ming army. The Ming army had a really big appetite. They wanted to attack so many Qing cities at the same time. How many troops did they come? ?
The emperor has made it very clear before that the Ming army cannot have so many troops. With Jierhalang and others restrained, where did the Ming Dynasty mobilize so many troops?
While they were thinking about it, the eight-hundred-mile urgent messenger from behind also arrived in front of the emperor and reported to Huang Taiji: "A large number of Ming cavalry appeared outside Ximu City, and... and they released His Royal Highness Prince He Shuorui, He said he wanted the Qing Dynasty to surrender unconditionally!"
This news shocked Jianlu even more than the previous ones. Duduo was the first to rush out, grabbed the messenger's collar, stared at his face, and asked eagerly: "Prince Rui, you said Prince Rui is fine, how is he?"
"Prince Rui is fine, no, no, no, Prince Rui is fine..." The messenger spoke, contradicting the left and the right, which made Doduo a little crazy. He pinched the collar a little harder in his hands and almost roared angrily: "What is Prince Rui doing?" Is something okay? You fucking tell me clearly!"
At this time, Duduo seemed to be a little crazy. No one dared to stop him. The long tube carried by the messenger was taken off by the yellow mantle and quickly presented to Huang Taiji.
"Prince Rui is unharmed and fine." The messenger regained consciousness and finally explained a little more clearly, "However, Prince Rui seems to be a little mentally disturbed and seems to have been hit hard! But when the villain arrived in North Korea, he had already I have sobered up a lot, and the content in the memorial was all written by Prince Rui!"
Hearing this, Duduo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the person is okay. He immediately released the messenger and turned to look at Huang Taiji, wanting to know what was said in the memorial written by Dorgon.
Then he turned around and saw Huang Taiji make a "pop" sound and a mouthful of old blood spurted out. Looking from Duduo's side, because there was the sun behind Huang Taiji, this mouthful of blood was like a rain of blood from the sun.
Then, Huang Taiji was seen falling off his horse.
"emperor!"
"His Majesty!"
"master!"
"..."
Amidst the exclamations, a man in a yellow jacket hurried to pick up Huang Taiji. But this time, it didn't go as smoothly as the first time.
Huang Taiji was a big fat man, weighing several hundred kilograms. He fell off his horse and had already fainted. It was impossible for him to avoid hurting Huang Taiji alone, and he couldn't even hope to support Huang Taiji decently. He was directly hit by Fatty Huang Taiji. He didn't dare to hide, so he finally made a meat pad.
At this time, the other yellow jackets had also reacted and rushed over immediately, reaching out to hold Huang Taiji up so that Huang Taiji didn't roll off the meat mat to the dirty ground again.
Seeing this scene, other Jianlu leaders also gathered around. Among them, Hauge pushed others away and started wailing like a father.
After such a fuss, Huang Taiji finally woke up and quickly figured out what had just happened. The look on that fat face was even colder than the thousand-year-old ice. He first stared at Haug, who immediately shut up. Then he looked around at the others and stopped on Dodo's face. After a moment, he shouted sternly: "Assemble the cavalry, led by Duoduo and Hauge, and immediately travel day and night to aid the Haizhou area in Liaodong. I will hold back the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and never allow him to escape back to Ningjinjian City!"
Upon hearing this, all the Jianlu leaders were stunned. Unexpectedly, it was really the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who personally conquered Liaodong? The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually dared to come!
"Brother, I accept the order!" Duduo Daqian knelt down to receive the order, gnashing his teeth, as if the Ming Emperor was right in front of him and he was going to pounce on him and cut the Ming Emperor into pieces.
"I obey the order!" Hauge also knelt down to accept the order, but he was a little confused, so he added another question, "Father, how many men and horses did the Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty lead?"
When the Jianlu around heard this, they all looked at Huang Taiji. They were very curious and concerned about the news.
According to their analysis, the Ming Dynasty should not have many troops to mobilize, but the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had personally conquered Liaodong, so how could there be less troops?
So how many men and horses did the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty lead, more or less, and what kind of men and horses they were? What is the answer to this question?
After hearing this, Huang Taiji stared at Duduo, and then shouted coldly: "According to what Dorgon said, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty led three battalions under the Yuma Supervisor, with a total of about 50,000 troops, and went down Tashan in a battle. , and now their troops are pointing directly at the hinterland of Liaodong. Knowing that the Qing army in Liaodong is empty, they are trying to conquer Liaodong in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised, only 50,000 troops? Tashan Dorgon's troops had more than 10,000 troops, but they were defeated in one battle? Also, how did the Ming emperor know that Liaodong was empty?
While they were thinking about it, they saw Huang Taiji suddenly became furious again and cursed sternly: "That killer Dorgon, thanks to his usual shrewd appearance, the more than 10,000 Qing troops I entrusted to him were actually killed. He was defeated overnight. Fool, damn it, fool, damn it..."
Not to mention that the defeat of the Qing army of more than 10,000 people was also a traumatic experience for the Qing Dynasty. Let’s just say that Dorgon was defeated so quickly that the Ming army was able to quickly advance into the hinterland of Liaodong, allowing Huang Taiji to carefully prepare The Korean War suddenly fell short. All the hard work and the blood of the Qing warriors were all wasted.
It was precisely because of this that Huang Taiji couldn't hold back the old blood and spit it out.
It is actually a bit hard for other Jianlu leaders to imagine why Dorgon, who had more than 10,000 Qing troops, was defeated by the Ming army overnight. Logically speaking, the Qing Dynasty had more than 10,000 troops. Even if the Ming army had 50,000 troops, how could it matter? Let alone defeating the Ming army, there will always be a stalemate for a period of time, right?
To be honest, they kind of understood why Huang Taiji was so angry that he vomited blood. This was really irritating!
Although Duduo couldn't understand it, he still wanted to speak for Dorgon, so he said: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. You should put the dragon body first. The dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty won in one battle, and for me, the Qing Dynasty Or it might be a good thing. In his arrogance, he even tried to attack the hinterland of Liaodong. My brother will definitely not sleep and rush back day and night to hold back the Ming Emperor and never let him escape!"
If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty could be kept in Liaodong, then it would be a good deal. Maybe, when Dorgon is criticized, his guilt will be less.
No matter from which aspect, Duduo is more than just talk. He had made up his mind to rush back to Liaodong regardless of the cost, day and night, and use the advantage of the Qing cavalry to entangle the Ming army and drag it to death. When Huang Taiji arrived with the main force, he would not believe it. We can't destroy the 50,000 Ming army!
At this point, of course Huang Taiji also hoped to retain the Ming Emperor, so he immediately issued an order: "Send an order to Horqin and other grassland tribes, eight..."
When he said this, he paused for a moment, feeling a little unlucky, but finally continued: "Baibaili hasten, let them send the cavalry into Liaodong immediately to cut off the Ming army's retreat. The Ming army must not be allowed to retreat. The army withdraws to Guanning!"
In short, the Ming army was so bold and reckless, so the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty really thought that fighting was so easy, and he actually tried to conquer it himself. He went to deal with the Mongolian tribes and the bandits in Guan Nei, and he could have fun if he wanted to. However, if he dared to use it against the Qing Dynasty, he must let him know that the Qing Dynasty was not so easy to mess with. Now that he is here, don't even think about it. Go back!
Compared with the war in Liaodong, the battle in Pyongyang seems unimportant.
"Woooooo" the horn sounded, and the Jianlu cavalry on the battlefield were a little surprised when they heard it. Why were they asked to retreat at such a critical moment?
However, they did not dare to disobey the military orders. Therefore, the Jianlu Cavalry was the first to withdraw from the Pyongyang battlefield.
As for the infantry's attack, it was so bad that Huang Taiji couldn't just ask them to withdraw. At least give them a fight. If Pyongyang was captured, it would at least give them some comfort, wouldn't it?
