The 256th chapter Liaodong lion and tiger fight (3)
"Liu Shuai, are you really in such a hurry to do this?"
Jin Xuan stopped, the sea breeze blew on him, and his official robes were fluttering. He looked at Liu Xingzuo and said: "This is undoubtedly a big gamble. If you take the lifeblood of Dongjiang Town and bet on whether you can win this battle, I always feel in my heart."
I just feel uneasy.”
"Counsellor Jin, I know what you are worried about."
Liu Xingzuo narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the fleet gathering not far away, and said: "This is considered a bet, but it must not be called a big gamble.
I have always believed in my heart that the turmoil in southern Liaoning will have a great impact on the Jianlu Eight Banners. There is no doubt about this.
The Khan throne that Huang Taiji sat on was far less secure than the ministers in the court thought.
Daishan, Amin, and Manggurtai, the three great beile, may have a weaker say in the Eight Banners of Jianlu than Huang Taiji, but once they unite, they will surpass Huang Taiji.
Not to mention Dorgon, Duduo and other Baylors, the Jianlu Eight Banners were indeed invincible on the battlefield, causing our Ming Dynasty to suffer disastrous defeats time and time again.
But their internal power struggle is also extremely cruel."
"I can imagine what you said."
With a worried look on his eyebrows, Jin Xuan stretched out his hand and said: "But the situation at this stage is not completely clear yet. If our Dongjiang Army crosses the sea by boat at this time and rushes to Zhenjiang Fort.
Once it is said that the Jianlu Eight Banners will turn their guns and attack our Dongjiang Army first, then no matter how good the situation is, it will be..."
Liu Xingzuo interrupted with a smile: "Counsellor Jin, it all depends on how much pressure Li Zicheng's previous resistance in the Xiuyan area will put on Huang Taiji.
I think the current heat is just right.
According to someone's understanding of Huang Taiji, he had not sent Daishan, Amin, and Manggurtai to lead his elite troops to southern Liaoning to suppress the rebellion. He was obviously taking a chance.
The reason is very simple.
Huang Taiji wanted to weaken the power of Daishan and others. In addition, Horqin and other places should also put pressure on Jianlu.
This can also be gleaned from the military reports passed back from Liaoqian."
The wind blew on Liu Xingzuo and Jin Xuan's bodies, making them very cold.
Now, the climate in Liaodong is getting colder and colder. If Li Zicheng had not led the Liaodong Rebel Army and captured Xiuyan City, which was occupied by Jianlu, there would not have been a big turmoil in Liaodong.
After all, the climate in Liaodong can be said to change day by day. If the battle derived from southern Liaoning were to be fought until the middle of winter, the non-combat casualties caused to the three parties would definitely be considerable.
"well!"
Jin Xuan sighed softly. Liu Xingzuo's resolute attitude made him aware of his persuasion and could not ask Liu Xingzuo to think about it again.
"Fight, fight!"
Jin Xuan frowned slightly, and his eyes became firm, "If we really encounter the situation that I think, I will fight for my life and coordinate the reinforcement of the Liao army from Tianjin and Denglai.
Now that you have decided something, don’t think about anything else.
The Eight Banners of Jianlu have been raging in Liaodong for a long time, and they have caused too much damage to our Ming Dynasty. If we don’t suppress their arrogance, we really don’t know the power of our Ming Dynasty.”
"Ha ha……"
Liu Xingzuo burst out laughing when he heard this, "With the support of Counselor Jin, I feel more confident. If I unfortunately die on the front line in this battle, remember to pour some jars of strong wine on me."
"How can you say such unlucky words?"
Jin Xuan frowned and scolded: "In the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, our Dongjiang Army will definitely win. Liu Shuai said before that if we can recover this place, we will definitely disrupt the situation in Liaodong.
As long as Jianlu's troops and horses can be mobilized in large numbers, there will inevitably be emptiness in western Liaoning, and then our Ming Dynasty's multi-front counterattack will begin.
What I said before is just nonsense.
After being with Liu Shuai for so long, all the raids launched in southern Liaoning were won without exception. This shows that Liu Shuai's insight into the situation in Liao is far superior to others.
In this battle, Dongjiang will win! Ming Dynasty will win!"
"Yes, Dongjiang will win! Ming Dynasty will win!"
Liu Xingzuo's eyes became firm and he said loudly: "Jianlu is not invincible or invincible. Our Dongjiang Army is no worse than them.
In this battle, I want everyone in Jianlu to know how powerful I am!!
Not to mention, Dongjiang Town relies on Counselor Jin. After this battle is over, I will have a drink with Counselor Jin."
After saying this, Liu Xingzuo saluted Jin Xuan with a fist, and then walked quickly towards the port.
"We must win."
Looking at Liu Xingzuo's back, Jin Xuan stood there and whispered.
The current situation in southern Liaoning is difficult for Liu Xingzuo and Jin Xuan to make a decision. After all, until now, they still haven't waited for the main force of Jianlu to send additional troops to the Xiuyan area.
Perhaps by continuing to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, the Dongjiang Army could indeed avoid any losses, but it would not be that easy to gain any benefits from Ming Dynasty.
After all, it is certainly unrealistic to rely solely on the Liaodong Rebel Army led by Li Zicheng to attract a large number of main rebel forces. In that case, the situation in western Liaoning will not be easily changed.
Faced with such a situation, Liu Xingzuo decisively ordered the Dongjiang Army to go to war. Regardless of Shenyang's attitude, he assembled tens of thousands of troops, crossed the sea in batches by boat, and rushed to Zhenjiang Fort.
The situation on the battlefield was fleeting, and Liu Xingzuo did not want the situation in Liaodong to be manipulated by Li Zicheng to be wasted in the end.
It's just that the Dongjiang Army was dispatched on such a large scale. Whether it was Liu Xingzuo or Jin Xuan, it was not clear whether Jianlu would abandon Li Zicheng and mainly attack their Dongjiang Army after learning about it.
After all, if we really encounter such a situation, even if the situation in western Liaoning changes, the Ming army stationed in Liaoqian can choose the opportunity to dispatch, but the pressure on their Dongjiang Army will be great.
"Liu Shuai, otherwise the first batch of troops to go into battle will be handed over to the commander-in-chief." Zuo Liangyu stood with a sword in hand. Seeing Liu Xingzuo walking quickly, he frowned and said: "After all, after the Dongjiang Pioneer lands, we will launch an attack on Zhenjiang Fort.
Attack, if..."
"Okay, none of you can take the credit for this first battle from me."
Liu Xingzuo smiled and waved his hands and said: "The coach of the Dongjiang Army is me, Liu Xingzuo. Speaking of which, since I took over Dongjiang Town, I have not presented a generous gift to His Majesty.
This time Li Zicheng was so fierce, so I couldn't be soft anymore.
If the main force of the subsequent build-up of captives really goes to the Dingliao right guard area, you will have time to fight the battle."
Zuo Liangyu and Shen Shikui frowned slightly when they heard this. Although Liu Xingzuo said it so easily, they knew it well in their hearts.
It was precisely the first battle to land on the coast near Zhenjiang Fort and launch an offensive against Zhenjiang Fort. This was the most difficult battle. After all, in order to save time, the main vanguard force did not carry too many artillery. If we could not take advantage of the second batch of troops to cross the sea by boat,
Rush to the front line and knock down Zhenjiang Fort, and then the situation you will face will be passive.
