Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 769 The Battle of Liaozuo (5)

Liao Zuo, Wujing Camp.

"Your Majesty! You can no longer lead the army forward."

Sun Chengzong was emotional, knelt on the ground, raised his hands and said: "The current battle situation in Liaozuo is far more complicated than expected. The Liaodong rebel army led by Li Zicheng abandoned Puhe, Fushun and other places, and retreated to Shenyang. The slave chieftain Huang Taiji led Jianlu Eight Banners gathered in the left front of Liao.

This is a big deviation from the battle situation that the Military Aircraft Division had seen before the war.

When His Majesty led the army to march, several battles broke out between the two armies on the left front of the Liao Dynasty. The fault was that the Shenji Battalion led by Cao Wenzhao was guarding the front line of the Hun River, and the Liao army led by Huang Degong was stationed in the area of ​​Fengji Fort. I'm afraid that Jianlu will bypass the Liaozuo front line, right..."

"The Qing family get up first."

Emperor Chongzhen bent down to help Sun Chengzong, and said with a calm expression: "I know what the Qing family is worried about, but there are some things that cannot just be based on the current battle situation.

Has the Pinglu army stationed in the Dingliao area rushed to the Prince Edward River?

Did Zhu Yujian's army of the king of Tang follow the order and rush to the fortresses of Kuandian by boat?

In the battle with the slave chieftain Huang Taiji, the situation on the Liaozuo front line is of course important, but if you want to rebuild the captives in a battle, how to go around and go straight to Huanglong is the key! "

Launching a large-scale war with Jianlu is something that Emperor Chongzhen has thought about for a long time. If the spine broken by Jianlu wants to grow back, he must win Jianlu on the battlefield in an upright manner.

Otherwise, no matter how much effort is put into it, how much equipment is installed, and the psychological gap is not fully filled, the Ming army will never become a strong army.

"In this battle, I will not only rebuild the captives, but also recover the entire territory of Liaozuo."

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were firm, and he said loudly: "Through this battle, I will let the Mongolian tribes in Liaodong and the Korean royal family know the strength of the Ming army!

Only this.

Only in this way.

In the future, the situation of the Ming Dynasty in Liaohetao, Liaodong, North Korea, etc. can occupy the absolute initiative, so that if it wants to dominate these areas in the future, it can be sure that nothing will go wrong. "

War is a continuation of politics.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen wanted to conquer in person, even if he encountered a lot of opposition, he must be clear and arbitrary.

The core is to gain political initiative.

After all, if you want to plunder the wealth of Liaohetao, North Korea and other places, gradually feed back to Ming Dynasty, and ensure that the reforms can be implemented alternately, you must make the surrounding forces feel fear.

"Your Majesty, is this too aggressive?"

Sun Chengzong hesitated again and again, and bowed again: "Even if Your Majesty wants to attract Jianlu, to detour and blitz Jianlu's core for the Pinglu Army and Tang Wangjun, and grasp the corresponding initiative..."

"The Qing family is worrying too much."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "Excluding Li Zicheng's Liaodong Rebel Army, which is currently surrounding the Liaozuo front line, the size of our army dispatched by the Ming Dynasty has exceeded 10.

The area along the Hunhe River and Fengji Fort is firmly in the hands of Guochao.

So even if the slave chief Huang Taiji is desperate, he has to weigh whether his aggressive attack will cause Fushun, Puhe and other places to be captured by the elite dispatched by our country.

If that's the case, it would be wishful thinking for the Jianlu Eight Banners who were wrapped in dumplings to take the initiative on the Liaozuo battlefield. "

Sun Chengzong was silent.

The strategic intention mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen is already very clear, you fight yours, I fight mine, and see who can hold more initiative during the strategic window period.

The reason why he led his troops to relocate was more to attract Jianlu's attention. The high-level Jianlu headed by Huang Taiji knew that he was a great son of heaven, and they wanted to "go his own way" to the front line of Liaozuo, and then ignored other areas.

Compared with the vast Ming Dynasty, Jianlu is far behind after all. The core population is too small and the territory controlled is too small, which makes Jianlu not have much trial and error costs.

Once the main force suffers serious losses on the battlefield, those waiting for Jianlu will be devastated!
The Liaozuo battle is a game of chess, whoever can take the initiative in the chess game will win the final victory.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The deafening sound of shelling broke the silence, and countless shells were fired in the sky above Shenyang City, flying parabolicly towards the distance.

"Oh my God, the artillery installed by the Ming army is so powerful." Li Zicheng, who was observing the frontier battlefield with a binoculars, said in shock when he saw the scene in front of him.

"How did you achieve such a long range? The Shenji Battalion led by Cao Wenzhao and the artillery deployed by the various ministries under his command are far more powerful than our army."

On the city wall of Shenyang, a large number of rebel generals gathered. When they saw this scene, they felt nothing but shock in their hearts.

The gap between the two sides is really too big.

"Chongzhen is really hateful. The artillery sold to me by the Liaodong Rebels earlier was obviously a batch eliminated by the Ming court, and the price is still so expensive."

"That's right! Chongzhen is really treacherous. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs handed over the artillery, it emphasized that this batch of artillery was the best batch of Ming Dynasty."

"Marshal, how can we fight this battle? If Jianlu is really disabled and run away, then our Liaodong Rebel Army will face the threat of the Ming army from now on."

Various sounds echoed in Li Zicheng's ears.

Countless shells smashed into Jianlu's camp, and flames burst into flames, and the side divisions stationed on Jianlu's flanks were already in chaos.

On the other hand, look at the headquarters of the Shenji Camp.

Stationed along the banks of the Hun River, there is a well-defined line of defense system, the artillery array is scattered and orderly, and solid bullets and flowering bullets roar and fly.

"Two left, three up, two quick fires!"

"Three to the right, one to the lower, three rapid-fire rounds!"

"Keep the angle, three rounds of rapid fire!"

Among the artillery formations, a famous artillery commander roared, commanding the artillery under his command, and launched an artillery attack on Jianlu's flank in an orderly manner.

"If the Liaodong Rebel Army can possess such a weapon on the battlefield, how can a mere Jiankui be an opponent of our army?" Through the binoculars in his hand, he could vaguely see a series of military operations carried out by the Ming army on the battlefield. Li Zicheng Said with a frown.

"Chongzhen, it seems that you spent your blood in this battle of Liaozuo. Well, it's really great. When Jianlu suffers heavy losses, I'm afraid that my Liaodong rebel army will really have no place to stand in Liaozuo."

The upgrading of military equipment must continue to spend money. Only in this way can we ensure that batches of excellent equipment can be continuously replaced.

Since the beginning of the pan-Liaodong strategy, Emperor Chongzhen has been maintaining the arms trade. Only in this way can the military industry be stimulated and developed. Constantly change the equipment installed under your command.
