Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 811

Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liao Town, led the army of Liao Town to attack Duolun. If Wang Tong hadn't led the army to conquer Duolun, this would probably be the first time in the Ming Dynasty in nearly a hundred years, and it would attract the attention of the world.

Since the Battle of Yingzhou in the Zhengde period, the Ming Dynasty has never launched a battle of this scale, but Wang Tong led an army of [-] to conquer and naturalize, and returned after destroying the country. Li Chengliang led the army to go west again, and it was not so dazzling. Wang Tong has such a brilliant victory, Li Chengliang's expedition not only does not make people expect too much, but it makes people fearful.

When a large army fights, the outcome is unpredictable. If Wang Tong wins in the north and Li Chengliang loses in the west, then Li Chengliang's glory and wealth for so many years, his reputation as a famous general, and even their Li family will be suspected.

The new commander of Jinyiwei made Wang Tong come back in victory. He is so strong in the court, and most people who feel Wang Tong's threat hope that Li Chengliang will win.

Only when Li Chengliang won a great victory in the process of conquering Duolun in the west can Wang Tong's victory not be so dazzling, and people can question whether the imperial court rewarded Wang Tong too much, whether he gave him too much power and rewards .

After the military parade, the ministers of the DPRK and China were even more eager to think about it. A few days later, the news they wanted came from the northeast. Beijing.

The news was divided into two parts, one was sent to the Ministry of War, and the other was sent to the palace. The news from the Ministry of War was quickly known to those who could know it, and rumors quickly spread in the capital.

The Western Expeditionary Army led by Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liao Town, chose a good time to attack, and with the tribes on the grassland as the guide, since leaving Liao Town, they have swept all the way on the grassland.

Many small tribes have only three options: die in battle, flee ahead of time, and join the Ming army. Before the war came, Liao Town had already had a record of beheading more than [-] people.

It is impossible for the Anda tribe to leave Guihua City, and it is also impossible for the Horqin tribe to leave Duolun. Without this land of rich water and grass, the large tribe with tens of thousands of people can only be scattered in the barren land, and can no longer become one. As a whole, on the grassland, scattered is tantamount to perishing.

The Horqin tribe, which has always been underestimated, promised heavy conditions, and all major tribes in the east of the grassland formed an alliance to strive for as many reinforcements as possible to prepare for a battle with the Ming army.

The Anda tribe was destroyed, the royal court was flattened, and the news of the massacre of tens of thousands of men below the royal family had spread here. All the ministries in the grassland were shocked. It was Daming, who was not seeking to make progress, suddenly so aggressive. Such a huge country was warlike, how could the grasslands fight against it.

Some people heard the news that Guihua City was kind to the ministries other than Alda, and led the tribe to try their luck, and more people stayed as far away from Guihua City as possible.

When Li Chengliang led the soldiers from Liaozhen to attack, the entire eastern part of the grassland fell into panic, and to the west was Guihua City, where Daming troops were heavily stationed. Undefeated prestige, the only way to the north is to go to the desert. At this time when the cattle and horses are fat and weak, how many people and livestock will die if you go to the grassland. Going there, the soldiers and horses in Ji Town have never been easy to touch .

Unknowingly, the Horqin tribe was driven into a desperate situation. The King Khan of Horqin did not spend much effort to call for reinforcements this time. The tribes did not need to put forward any conditions. heart of.

Most of Harashen, Duoyan and others have sent their own troops. The Duoyan tribe is also known as the Daming Ping Fan, an ally of Daming on the grassland, but this time they also sent cavalry to help the Horqin tribe.

To the east of Duolun, there are 1 Tartar cavalry waiting for the army of Liaozhen. Li Chengliang's army has nearly 2 personal soldiers of Liaozhen's generals in addition to more than [-] of his direct subordinates. More than [-] elites, plus the rest of the officers and soldiers who were transferred to the grassland, the army also exceeded [-].

Although there are [-] Tartar cavalry, not many can reach the level of elite cavalry in Liaozhen. Liaozhen has a great chance of winning this battle.
The result of the battle is also in line with the judgment on paper, Liaozhen is a great victory.

****************
"What I have done this year can be mentioned in the sacrificial text when paying homage to the ancestors."

The good news was delivered in the afternoon, and Emperor Wanli took it with Concubine Zheng. He was very satisfied. He had to be reserved in front of the eunuchs and courtiers, and showed a lot of Emperor Wanli's true temperament in front of his own woman. .

Zheng Guifei, who had gained a lot of weight, looked at Wanli with a smile, and said softly:
"Your Majesty is also wise and powerful. Otherwise, how could there be such a strong general under his command, and how could he have won such a great victory."

Emperor Wanli laughed out loud, took the good news in his palm, and said:
"There is only a victory report over there, and the battle report will take a few days to arrive, but the detailed reports from Dongchang and Jinyiwei should come before dark!"

In such a large army, both Dongchang and Jinyiwei have their own eyeliners, which is almost a semi-public existence, and the generals are well aware of it.

The expeditionary army and the imperial court’s letters, papers, and newspapers are more cautious in official business transactions, while the spies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei’s intelligence is time-sensitive, and the authenticity requirements are not so high. Anyway, the news will continue. Sent, the above is only to understand the latest situation, and can be corrected at any time.

With Concubine Zheng's appearance, it is impossible for Emperor Wanli to stay, so I'd better go to the Imperial Study Room at night to look at the brochures sent up below.

"... More than [-] people were beheaded in this battle, and more than [-] were killed and injured in Liao Town."

Emperor Wanli shook his head slightly while reading the battle report. The casualties were almost the same, but the results of this battle were based on the rules of the Ming Dynasty Military Department except for the battle of Guihua City. For the remaining ranks, a total of more than [-] heads have been harvested. This victory can be called brilliant.

Moreover, the coalition forces of Horqin and various grassland ministries were defeated and driven out of the Duolun grassland area. The purpose of this battle was also achieved.

According to Dongchang's report, before this battle, the soldiers of Liao Town were already quite arrogant, thinking that the Tartars were nothing more than that, but when the battle started, there was trouble on the side of Liao Town's general Qin Deyi.

Many small tribes came to seek refuge along the road. For these people, Liao Town always placed them on the periphery and let them rush forward as cannon fodder when they went out to fight. In such a situation, even if these small tribes didn't want to, they could only do so.

But since it was a friendly army, the precautions must be relaxed. When the battle came, a small tribe of nearly a thousand people suddenly launched an attack on Qin Deyi's flank.

Liaozhen soldiers were really strong soldiers, so hastily launched an attack, and on the battlefield, Qin Deyi's personal soldiers would immediately organize people to suppress the cavalry of these small tribes.

But it’s hard to die. The Horqin tribe invested [-] cavalry here. These [-] cavalry were originally disguised as fleeing tribal old and weak women and children. When these [-] cavalry suddenly joined, Qin Deyi was a little bit unstoppable. , The pawns began to collapse, and the peasants rushed like headless chickens.

However, the so-called "cavalry" of the Tartars was far inferior to the elites of the Liao Town. The Li family soldiers led by Li Rubai went into the battlefield and immediately defeated the [-] Tartar cavalry.

There was no suspense in the ensuing battle. Liaozhen's army, led by cavalry and followed by infantry, charged towards the main formation of the Tartars.

Facing the well-armored and well-trained Liaozhen cavalry, the main force of the Tartar cavalry had no way to resist and could only retreat step by step.

However, the fighting spirit of the allied forces in the grassland was also beyond Li Chengliang's expectations. The elite of the Horqin tribe blocked it with the style of all-out attack, which also caused a lot of casualties to the Li family's servants.

After Li's family lost more than a thousand soldiers, Li Chengliang stopped his offensive momentum, and the Tartars were almost defeated and kept retreating.

As the commander-in-chief of the first army, Li Chengliang said that the battle had been won, and he could return to the division. The strength has been lost by more than [-]. In addition, since the start of this battle, the small tribes who have been dispersed, defeated, and beheaded since the start of this battle have been pushed out of a large area of ​​the grassland. Yes, this is also very effective.

Dongchang’s newspapers said that more than [-] heads were beheaded, and with the previous good news, the total was more than [-] heads. According to the previous rules, the final report sent to the capital should be exaggerated to [-] heads number.

Nearly 2 people were beheaded on Wang Tong's side, and more than [-] people were beheaded here. Wang Tong's side may also have exaggerated, and the comparison between them is similar.

However, in the eyes of those who know the truth, Wang Tong's record is the real thing.
"The newspaper said that thousands of soldiers died in the Li family. From Li Chengliang to Li Rubai, they were all heartbroken. Good guy, these soldiers were raised by him with money from the court, and they are actually regarded as their own property."

After Emperor Wanli saw it, he just sneered, and Zhang Cheng beside him said with a smile:

"Long Live Lord, according to the report from Dongchang, Wang Tong led the Huwei army to rush forward at that time, while Jizhen soldiers were guarding at his house."

Emperor Wanli just sighed and said:
"Liaozhen's elites are out this time. Horqin's side is much worse than I don't know, but they still fight like this. This Liao soldier is known as the crown of the nine sides, but he didn't expect to be better than Wang Tong's side."

At this point, Emperor Wanli fell silent, put down the Chinese scroll in his hand, and leaned back on the chair. Zhang Cheng was a little puzzled. According to the past, Emperor Wanli would definitely say a few more words, whether it was sarcasm or praise. Why did he suddenly say something? silence.

"It's so strong"

Emperor Wanli said without beginning or end.
