Chapter 66 Cloud Movement (1)

"Shashasha..."

On the wall of Jizhou City, there are Ming army officers and soldiers on duty. They hold shields and red tassel spears and stand indifferently. Some officers patrolling the city, led by the small flag officer and the chief flag officer, are going back and forth.

Moving around.

"Superintendent, do you think that when Zhou Yuji and the others arrive at Shimen Town, they won't encounter the Jianlu who come to harass them?" Man Gui stood with a knife in his hand, slapped his hand on the female wall, frowned and looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice.

"I don't know why, the general was a little restless last night. He always felt that something was not right. Could it be..."

"No such possibility!"

Sun Chengzong stretched out his hand and interrupted: "The main force of the Jianlu invaders currently gathered in Zunhua City is to capture this city and use it as an important place to harass our Daming Pass.

Even if the Jianlu Division entrenched in Da'ankou wanted to divide their forces to attack Shimen Town, they would not dare to send out too many troops. You have been in Liaodong for so long, so you don't know how strict Jianlu's military regulations are.

.

Before Zunhua City is conquered, Huang Taiji will not expand the battlefield, which will not be of any benefit to them in building a captive army!"

After listening to what Sun Chengzong said, Man Gui's somewhat uneasy mood finally calmed down a little. After all, the Yongwei camp led by Zhou Yuji was created by the emperor.

If we had just arrived at the Shimen Town area from Shenjing, we were attacked and severely damaged by Jianlu, and if the emperor knew about it, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous.

"Supervisor, how many more days do you think Zunhua City can survive?"

Man Gui frowned, looked at Sun Chengzong and said: "Although there is Governor Wang Yuanya sitting in Zunhua, the invading forces this time are strong, and Zunhua..."

At this point, Mangui really couldn't talk any more.

Based on the current situation he knew, Mangui was a little confused as to why the emperor indulged the Jianqi and surrounded Zunhua City, but ordered the soldiers and horses everywhere not to go to rescue.

This clearly means abandoning Zunhua City!

If Zunhua City was captured by Jianlu, then the Santun Camp would be captured next.

"Mangui, don't think about things that shouldn't worry you."

Sun Chengzong frowned and said in a deep voice: "The Jianlu invaders invaded our country, the Ming Dynasty, which caused turmoil in the capital area, and people in Shenjing were even more panicked.

Under such a situation, the emperor calmly laid out his plans in Shenjing, with Zunhua City and Santun Camp as the core, and set up temporary east and west defenses respectively. The purpose was to call me Ming Dynasty and avoid being brutally raped by the captives who killed some people.

There are some things that cannot be said openly, as long as they are clear in the heart, does the emperor want to face such a situation?!"

He was ordered to come to Jizhou to take charge of the defense of the three temporary guards. After these days of intense deployment, Sun Chengzong truly understood the situation that Emperor Chongzhen was in.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were completely blinded by the five-year plan to pacify the Liao Dynasty introduced by Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong. As a result, most of the troops and horses stationed in most of the forts, important towns, and cities in the Jimiyong Sanxie area were not fully qualified.

Editing status.

Reducing the defense of Ji Mi Yong San Xie did reduce the military expenditure of the imperial court, but correspondingly, Yuan Chonghuan used various excuses to send more troops to the Liaodong front line.

"well……"

Sun Chengzong, who felt blocked in his heart, couldn't help but sigh. Man Gui, who was beside him, stretched out his hand in surprise and said: "Superintendent, something happened!! That seems to be the cavalry from the Yongwei Battalion!"

"..."

After being shouted out by Man Gui and looking in the direction he pointed, Sun Chengzong suppressed his inner shock and looked intently, only to see more than two hundred cavalry galloping towards Jizhou City.

"Quick! Follow me out of the city!"

Sun Chengzong forced himself to calm down, turned around and walked quickly towards the city. The Yongwei camp passing by Jizhou had just left for Shimen Town yesterday, but today more than 200 cavalry came back. Something must have happened.

"Da da da……"

The sound of intensive horse hoofbeats sounded, and the Yongwei Battalion cavalry commanded by Zheng Zhong galloped energetically, with heads hanging from their horses' necks, towards Jizhou City.

"Superintendent, could it be that the Jianlu troops attacked Shimen Town?" Man Gui, who accompanied Sun Chengzong out of the city, said with a frown.

"How about General General immediately commanding his cavalry and rushing to the aid of Shimen Town? Even if the Yongwei Battalion suffers a disastrous defeat, we can't just let Jianlu kill them all!"

"Shut up!!"

Sun Chengzong frowned and scolded: "Man Gui, if you dare to act like this again, don't blame me for being ruthless!!"

While he was talking, the Iron Cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion led by Zheng Zhong galloped to the foot of Jizhou City. Countless Ming army officers and soldiers on the city wall leaned forward to look at them.

"Yongwei camp, cavalry, and one hundred households, Zheng Zhong, are specially ordered by the commander of Yongwei camp to lead his troops to report the victory!!" After seeing the team leaving the city, Zheng Zhong roared at the top of his lungs.

"..."

quiet.

At this moment, Sun Chengzong, Man Gui and his party looked at Zheng Zhong with different expressions, looking at the group of cavalry behind him, with bursts of surprise and suspicion in their hearts.

report a success?!

What kind of victory can you expect!?

Is it possible that when the Yongwei camp led by Zhou Yuji arrived at Shimen Town, they were actually harassed by Jianluo?

"Meet Mr. Sun Ge!"

While Sun Chengzong and others were all standing there in astonishment, Zheng Zhong got off his horse, took Zhou Yuji's hand, Fang Zhenghua, and a memorial written jointly by Zhou Yuji, and handed it to Sun Chengzong.

"The last general, Zheng Zhong, has been ordered by my chief general to submit a report of victory. I also ask Mr. Sun Ge to send someone to deliver it to Shenjing as soon as possible!"

Really achieved victory?

Sun Chengzong suppressed his inner fear, received the memorial from Zheng Zhong, and said with some excitement: "How many Jianlu were killed? How many casualties did your Yongwei camp have?"

Zheng Zhong straightened his back, his tiger eyes were like torches, and said loudly: "In the battle of Shimen Town, I bravely defended the camp against the invading Jianlu and killed 871 people!

Among them, there are seventy-nine true Tatars and fifty-seven armored men..."

As Zheng Zhong's confident and resonant voice spread throughout Jizhou East City, even Man Gui, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, completely changed after hearing such a victory.

On the premise that 117 of our own troops were killed in battle, to be able to wipe out more than 800 invading troops was a damn victory!

"God bless the Ming Dynasty!!"

Sun Chengzong clenched his fists and said emotionally: "You brave guard camp is really good. You are worthy of being the Supreme Guards created by His Majesty!

Come on, please immediately take over the heads of the captives from the Yongwei Camp and send this memorial of the great victory in Shimen Town to the capital of Shenjing for 800 miles!"

No one knows better than Sun Chengzong that at this moment, Shenjing needs such a great victory to inspire people, so that the situation between the government and the public will become less turbulent, so that the emperor can control the government more calmly.

It’s over.
