Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 100 Just ask you if you are in a hurry

Originally planned to spend two days, using the artillery transported in the rear, as well as the shocking thunder, to organize an artillery offensive, on the premise of achieving the effect of military training, and completely drive out the Jianlu who have stolen from Zunhua City.

It's just that no one expected that the Tianxiong, Zhongyong and other troops who went to the battle, relying on the cover of the artillery offensive, laid out the moat in front of them and piled up the passages needed for the siege. Jianlu was partial to his teacher, but ran away.

"Judging from the current situation, the invading Jianlu must have been terrified by the artillery attack carried by our Ming army, and would not dare to fight to the death with the main force of the Ming army in the Zunhua area."

"Although this battle did not seriously damage the Jianlu in Zunhua, it made them know the power of our main force in the Ming Dynasty. This played a vital role in the subsequent advance to the Santun camp."

"That's right, in this way, once the war in Zunhua is spread to Qian'an, even if the Jianlu capture Qian'an City, they will definitely return to aid as soon as possible!"

The military counselors, headed by Chen Yansheng, all expressed their opinions with excitement. Obviously, they were all extremely excited about Jianlu's escape from the Santun Camp.

On the premise that no soldier was killed in battle, Zunhua City was successfully recovered only by launching an artillery offensive. This is definitely a big victory for Daming.

And under the previous artillery offensive, the Jianlu who guarded the city also suffered corresponding casualties. During this advance and retreat, the victory of Ming Dynasty is still worth celebrating.

"What do you all think?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Qia and Li Banghua with a serious expression, and said: "The Jianlu division guarding Zunhua City withdrew from Zunhua without any warning and did not start fighting with my main force.

I always feel like something is wrong.

Although the artillery offensive launched by our army is indeed relatively rapid, it can only be used as a supplement during the follow-up siege. It is definitely no problem for Jianlu to rely on the existing city defenses to block our army's siege momentum. "

The current situation was beyond the expectation of Emperor Chongzhen. Jianlu, who had always been strong, abandoned Zunhua and headed towards the Santun camp. This is not in line with their characteristics at all.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
"Your Majesty, I think it is caused by many aspects."

Li Banghua walked forward with a frown, cupped his hands and said: "First, Jianlu is afraid of the passages in and out of the customs, and there will be no accidents in any sense.

With the recovery of Da'ankou, only Hongshankou, Longjingguan, and Xifengkou remained in the key passes controlled by Jianlu. Compared with Zunhua City, the importance of Santunying was stronger.

Second, the two previous victories in Shimen Town and Da'ankou caused Jianlu to suffer a lot of casualties.

This also proves why the Jianlu partial division guarding Zunhua chose to abandon Zunhua City instead of launching a fierce battle with our army.

Thirdly, under the command of Huang Taiji, the main force of Jianlu who invaded Ming Dynasty is actively attacking Qian'an, trying to destroy the current situation of maintaining stability.

As long as Qian'an is captured, the defense on the eastern front will inevitably be messed up. At that time, the Shanhaiguan defense line will be exposed to the threat of Jianlu.

Fourth, this is what I think is the most important point. The number of Jianlu troops who invaded our Ming Dynasty this time was not as many as imagined.

Otherwise, in my opinion, even if the Da'an pass is taken back by my Ming Dynasty, Zunhua's position is far less important than before, it can still hinder my Ming Dynasty's forward offensive. "

Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, thinking about the analysis Li Banghua said, this interlocking analysis made Emperor Chongzhen feel very correct.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then we must make corresponding arrangements."

Wang Qia followed closely and said: "According to the current situation, the withdrawal of the Jianlu from Zunhua is clearly the main force of the Jianlu who are determined to invade Qian'an, and they will definitely be able to break through Qian'an City, so as to cause a shock to our Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, what they experienced in Zunhua will definitely not happen in the Santun camp, so the evacuated Jianlu partial division will rely on the terrain of the Santun camp to build a more stable line of defense, so as to prevent our main force from the Ming Dynasty from having any chance. Dig a wide trench and squeeze their defense line step by step. "

The method of digging wide ditches can be used for the first time, but it does not mean that it can be used all the time. After all, Jianlu is not a fool. He watched the Ming army squeeze their strategic space little by little.

"If this is the case, then we may have to make corresponding adjustments to the strategic deployment we made earlier."

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wang Qia and Li Banghua, and said, "Do you think Qian'an can withstand the offensive of the main force of Jianlu?"

"..."

Wang Qia and Li Banghua remained silent, their attitudes already showed that they were not optimistic that Zu Dashou's troops guarding Qian'an would be able to withstand the offensive of the main force of Jianlu.

This is a big gamble!
Emperor Chongzhen stood with his hands behind his back, lost in thought about the current situation.

Once Qian'an was breached by the main forces of Jianlu, Huang Taiji would take control of it, disrupting the defense on the eastern front, and then threatening the life gate of Shanhaiguan.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zunhua was surrounded by the main force of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Taiji did not lead his troops back to help.

Even if they can't beat Shenjing now, if they can continue to disrupt the situation and consume as much Ming's national power as possible, then for them to build the Eight Banners, it will be a sure-fire deal.

But in the same way, when Daming regained Zunhua, he also grasped a life gate of Jianlu, threatening the internal and external passages they controlled!

"Since this is the case, then Daming can't follow the rhythm of Jianlu's war!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked sternly, looked at Wang Qia and Li Banghua, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want Qian'an, and I don't care about the stability of the defense on the Eastern Front!

Fight a war of attrition with Jianlu to see who can survive to the end.

I really want to see, if Huang Taiji knows that our Ming main force is encircling the front line of Santunying, threatening Hongshan Pass, and putting on a stance to seize Santunying, how will he choose.

Is it a bet that we, Ming Dynasty, will not be able to remove the passages controlled by their Jianlu, or something...

Immediately send people to pass the decree, order Sun Zushou to lead the loyal and brave army, and take all the thunderbolts, and go out to garrison around Hongshan Pass. Dig a wide ditch in a suitable area, and put on the momentum of attacking Hongshan Pass.

Clearly issued an edict to Shimen Town, ordering Ma Shilong's troops to move closer to Zunhua immediately.

Clearly issued a decree to Yutian, ordering Sun Qing to lead all the troops to fight, go out to the Lihe line, set up camp on the south line of Santunying, and strictly order Yutian, Fengrun and other places to put martial law in the whole city, and stay behind if there is any trouble. The general Zhu Lian Jiu Clan!

At the same time, Kuai Ma issued an edict to Sanhe, ordering Hou Shilu to command the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Zhongwei, and rush to Jizhou as quickly as possible, waiting for further instructions from the Military Aircraft Department at any time! "

Now that we have reached this point, we should not have any hesitation, first put on a posture of intimidating Santunying and other places, and force Huang Taiji to make a choice.
