Faced with the question raised by Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, and Li Banghua looked at each other and knew that the emperor did not want to waste time or the advantage he had, and wanted to resolve the battle with Jianlu as soon as possible.

When the gun goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold.

Even though the Ming Dynasty was fighting on the mainland this time, it fought many battles with the invading Jianlu and achieved many achievements. However, it consumed a lot of money and food. The hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line were eating, drinking, sleeping, and stationed everywhere.

Feeding, drinking and eating for an army is definitely not a small expense.

Although these pressures were transferred to Shenjing by Emperor Chongzhen cleverly with the help of military aircraft, so that he does not have to worry about these problems now, but after this battle is over, the troubles will inevitably follow.

The deficit is sitting there. You can ignore it now during the war, but what about after that? Don’t you ignore it either?

Sun Chengzong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, given the current situation, we should identify the garrison of the Santun Camp as soon as possible to ensure the stability of the area.

The remaining troops and horses, under the command of Your Majesty, can send troops from all directions to surround the Jianlu who have retreated to Hanerzhuang area, so as to frighten them and strive to end this battle in the shortest possible time!

After experiencing several defeats in the past, the Jianlu people must have become timid about fighting, especially after Longjing Pass was lost, I felt that they would not be able to hold on for long."

Wang Qia followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, the demand for food on our front line is not large at present. Even if we include the reinforcements coming from the Dongjiang River, we can still hold on for at least ten days.

Last night, our military aircraft were stationed here and the deployment of military rations was clarified. Three temporary guards were set up to transfer the corresponding amount of military rations in batches within the specified time.

It’s just that it will take at least several days to replenish all the military supplies such as arrows, thunderbolts, gunpowder for artillery, and bags of granular gunpowder.”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned slightly. There was no need to worry about the food needed by this large army. The Ming Dynasty had the advantage in the battle, but the only thing that was lacking in military supplies was that this matter was a bit tricky.

In the past, the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty were able to defeat the Jianlu again and again. They relied on the offensive of thunder and artillery to suppress the Jianlu, and they were able to win each victory with minimal casualties.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not unsolvable."

Li Banghua stepped forward at this time and said: "At present, our Ming Dynasty has obtained such advantages, and we cannot let it go to waste. Moreover, the previous Jianlu suffered a series of disastrous defeats, which must have caused deep vigilance and concern for the artillery and firearms carried by our Ming Dynasty.

timid.

We can transport the arrows and arrows provided by each ministry from other garrisoned troops to the front line for the troops to use. At the same time, we will not fight around Hanerzhuang for the time being. The difference in strength between the two sides is so huge that Jianlu will never dare to do so easily.

Take the initiative to attack and wait for the various military supplies transferred from the rear to arrive. If the Jianlu are still holding on and refuse to evacuate, then I, the Ming Dynasty, can attack them with thunderous force, rebuild the founding captives, and expel the Jianlu!"

Local operations have the advantage of local operations. Even if there are urgent shortages in some aspects, as long as the advantages of the battle situation are firmly in hand, they can be solved from other aspects.

“I think it’s feasible!”

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, nodded and said: "Your military aircraft are forward, and you will immediately make corresponding adjustments and deployments. Ask Zhang Keda to lead the Denglai reinforcements to be responsible for guarding the Santun camp. They have the responsibility to defend the territory.

Tomorrow at the latest, the rest of the troops must march towards Hanerzhuang. I am worried that as time goes by, Jianlu will divide his troops to attack Hou Shilu and Zhou Yuji's troops.

Since Longjing Pass has been recaptured by the Ming Dynasty, we can no longer let Jianlu take it away. If the war situation falls into a tug of war, it will be meaningless."

"I obey the order!"

The advantage of establishing a military aircraft department is that as long as the general direction is well controlled and the strategic level is clearly defined, the corresponding detailed deployment, including the tactical level, can be handled by professionals.

Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, and Li Banghua were not just military novices who could only talk about things. They all had their own opinions on military aspects. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was very relieved to ask them to be responsible for specific planning, including tactical arrangements.

'After this battle is over, capable ministers like Wang Zaijin must try to replenish the military aircraft department.' Looking at Sun Chengzong and his party leaving, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, but secretly said in his heart: 'Since the military aircraft department has been set up

Well, it is absolutely impossible to ask me to abolish this department.'

In fact, during the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were still many talents who were proficient in military affairs. However, due to the influence of the situation and some personal grudges, many talents were dismissed from their official positions.

It is extremely difficult to control and balance these situations.

…

"General He, what do you think your Majesty will think of this time when I, under the command of the Governor, lead his cavalry to support the front line?" Zu Dashou showed some hesitation and looked at He Kegang aside.

"The general doesn't know either."

He Kegang frowned and said: "The situation changed too fast before. Who could have imagined that His Majesty's deployment would actually contain the Jianlu's fate and make the Jianlu retreat to the Santun Camp area.

Considering the current situation, we will lead our cavalry to support the Santun Camp, which will also play a corresponding role in Your Majesty's defeat of the Jianlu."

While Emperor Chongzhen and the others were busy preparing for the battle at Han'erzhuang, Zu Dashou and He Kegang, following the orders of Yuan Chonghuan who was stationed at Zhenzi Town, led the remaining Guan Ning cavalry and rushed towards the Santun Camp belatedly.

Come.

Even at this time, due to the influence of the region, Zu Dashou and the others did not know that the Santun camp had been recovered by the Ming Dynasty, and even severely damaged Jianlu and recaptured Longjing Pass.

"Alas, I really don't understand what the supervisor is thinking." Zu Dashou sighed softly as he looked in the direction of Santun Camp from a distance.

"At this point, what's the point of leading his troops to Qian'an City? Isn't it time to mobilize the troops and horses that can fight and rush to the front battlefield of Santun Camp to follow..."

"Does this make any sense now?"

He Kegang frowned and said: "Commander Zu, we'd better rush to the front line of Santun Camp as soon as possible to see if we can help His Majesty share your worries and severely inflict heavy damage on the Jianlu who invaded our Ming Dynasty."

"Um."

After looking at He Kegang, Zu Dashou, who was riding on horseback, responded, and then ordered his guards around him to convey the military order to continue advancing.

Less than 2,000 Guan Ning cavalry, under the command of Zu Dashou and He Kegang, galloped in the direction of Santun camp. However, compared to the rush for reinforcements, Yuan Chonghuan's purpose of calling them here was to test.
