Chapter 772 The Battle of Liaozuo 8
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The deafening sound of shelling echoed on the Liaozuo battlefield. The defense lines and camps built by the Eight Banners were under shelling from the Ming Army and the Liaodong Rebel Army.
The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army.
"Damn Chongzhen kid!!!"
Huang Taiji's angry roar was covered up by the sound of rounds of shelling.
At this moment, Huang Taiji was extremely angry.
After fighting for half his life, he has never fought such a frustrating battle!
"Pfft~"
The furious Huang Taiji vomited blood and slumped weakly on the handsome chair. This is Fan Wencheng. Ning Wanme, Sony and others were frightened.
"master."
The current situation is no longer good for our army. Please tell us what our army should do next to get out of this predicament."
Zhou Yanru glanced at Wen Tiren, stepped forward, and asked Wang Chengen in a low voice: "Why has the Imperial Army become so busy since yesterday? Is it..."
In view of such a situation, Huang Taiji and others wanted to destroy the Ming army and asked the armies led by Emperor Chongzhen to continue to consume until the Ming Dynasty could no longer support it.
It's just that they haven't figured out the war account from the beginning to the end.
"It's not impossible now, it's already happened!"
When Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, and others heard this, their expressions changed slightly and they looked at Huang Taiji in disbelief. They couldn't believe what they heard.
Not to mention the large-scale army, the daily consumption of food and grass during wartime, whether it is needed on the front line or consumed during transportation, is a huge expense.
fool!
Although they followed the imperial commander to Liaozuo, they didn't know much about the trend of the entire battle, and they didn't know much about some top-secret military aircraft matters.
After all, the Shenji Battalion led by Cao Wenzhao, the Liao Suppression Army led by Huang Degong, and other armies all consumed a large amount of artillery shell reserves every day.
Affected by the wars in other regions, some changes began to occur in the Jianlu senior leadership headed by Huang Taiji, and the Yujia Chinese Army also began to become busy.
Several people who didn't know the truth rushed towards Huang Taiji in a hurry, pinching him and stroking his chest, so that Huang Taiji could recover.
Why?!
"Chongzhen Xiao'er used himself as bait to attract the attention of our army, causing the main force of our army to gather in the Liaozuo area. In western Liaoning and North Korea, Chongzhen Xiao'er mobilized troops on a large scale."
We were deceived by Chongzhen's son.
What happened?
From the gathering of powerful Eight Banners forces to launch an offensive against the Liaozuo, to Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition, to the current Liaozuo stalemate, the entire campaign can only take a few months.
"What are these imperial staff generals doing? They all have solemn expressions. I have approached some of them before, but none of them said anything."
During this period, many wars and conflicts broke out among the three parties, mainly between the Ming army and Jianlu. This made Huang Taiji no matter how he divided his troops to attack, the Ming army was not affected at all.
The methods used in the past to consume the Ming army did not achieve the desired results at all, and even allowed the Ming army to occupy the initiative on the battlefield."
"Impossible, how is this possible?"
Facing the Ming army assembled by the Liao Zuo, which was advancing step by step in a way that was extremely costly in money and food, the Jianlu Eight Banners headed by Huang Taiji had no other good solution.
Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru looked solemn. What the civil servants around them said was exactly what they suspected.
Wang Chengen kept smiling, facing Zhou Yanru's gaze and interrupted: "As you know, our family cannot stay in the tent when the emperor is discussing important military matters. If there is anything specific, we should wait until the emperor summons you.
Let’s talk about it later.”
A battle centered around Liaozuo and radiating to Liaohetao, North Korea, Hetuala and other places has too many layers involved, and often the slightest deviation in one link will lead to a complete loss.
Huang Taiji's eyes were cold and stern, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "We have launched corresponding offensives in the Liaohetao and Hetuala areas, which no one expected.
"Mr. Zhou Ge, our family doesn't know very well either."
"The important matters relayed from the capital should be dealt with as soon as possible. In a few days, the emperor will summon you to inquire about some government affairs of the court."
War is not only a battle on the front line, but also includes the support of the system at the rear. There is an internal affairs office, a government-controlled government, a war to support the people, a maritime transport, and a war bond. This series of combinations is what Emperor Chongzhen controls.
A lot of initiative.
"What!?"
"This is unlikely. Jianlu has assembled so many troops in Liaozuo. Even if they want to invade the Gyeonggi area, how will they mobilize their troops?"
"Mr. Wen Ge, what happened?"
Okay, why are there such changes?
Fan Wencheng still couldn't believe it, "With such a large-scale deployment of troops and invading our Dajin territory from multiple routes, isn't Chongzhen afraid of losing control?"
"But what happened? Why didn't Your Majesty summon us? From the very beginning, the DPRK was opposed to Your Majesty's personal expedition. Your Majesty's safety is related to the stability of the country. If something changes in Liaozuo, it will be very important to the country.
It’s not good.”
This has become what Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng and others are thinking about at the moment.
Huang Taiji wanted to drag down the Ming army to death, but the cruel reality did not tilt towards this expectation.
Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, Sony and others are secretly thinking about it at this moment.
"Hetuala is lost."
"Is it possible that the Gyeonggi side was invaded by Jianlu?"
Why is this happening?
Huang Taiji looked gloomy and stared at Fan Wencheng and others, "The Ming Cavalry invaded Chahar, Horqin and other troops. We were all deceived by Chongzhen's son."
Huang Taiji flashed a cold light and stared at Fan Wencheng, "The situation in Liaohetao has changed, and the loss of Hetuala, can it still be fake?
No one knows what Emperor Chongzhen is doing.
The gathered civil servants who were accompanying you and me were trying to figure out what was going on with the Chinese army.
"That is to say, my official heard that Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, left the imperial court and led a group of people to station in Shenyang City. Could it be that something happened on the Liaozuo front line?"
"master!"
A civil servant accompanying him stood outside the imperial commander's tent, watching the generals coming in and out, and asked Wen Tiren: "Since yesterday, martial law has been enforced in the central army tent. Those who can enter and exit the commander's tent must
Hold the token given by the emperor. We are all officials of the imperial court, why were we not given the token..."
"Mr. Wen Ge, Mr. Zhou Ge, the emperor said that you don't have to stay with the Imperial Army." Wang Chengen, wearing a red python robe, walked toward Wen Tiren and others with a fly whisk in hand.
"It must be like this, otherwise it would never be like this."
If the Jianlu Eight Banners dispatched want to bypass the Liaozuo front line to launch an offensive in an attempt to seize Liaoyang Town and disrupt the Ming army's deployment on the Liaozuo front line, they must pass through Shenyang, the banks of the Hun River, Fengji Fort and other places, but the above-mentioned key passes are located , were all guarded by the elite troops of the Ming army.
A large-scale tunnel defense line prevented the cavalry under the Jianlu Eight Banners from exerting their due mobility.
"Eunuch Wang, what happened?"
In Fan Wencheng's understanding, although the Ming army had continuously regained territory in the Liao region, the combat effectiveness of its soldiers could not improve so quickly.
Furthermore, they were familiar with what the Ming army did in the past. Even if Emperor Chongzhen really dared to do this, it would be impossible for the civilian officials accompanying the army to behave so decisively.
In the past more than a month, Huang Taiji had faced continuous bombardment by the Ming army to prevent the Eight Banners from launching an offensive. Although Huang Taiji tried many methods, they were all defeated by the Ming army and even the Liaodong rebels.
From the beginning of the personal expedition, Emperor Chongzhen not only wanted to plan for the suppression of the rebellion, but also planned many system frameworks, which he would gradually implement and put into operation through this personal expedition.
How dare you call your own master like this?
This is the key!
As long as the Ming Dynasty can achieve final victory in the battle around Liaozuo, then no matter how much money and food is consumed during this period, the return cycle will gradually begin.
"Is it from Liaoxi..."
Zhou Yanru: "..."
Wang Chengen's words made the scheming Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru immediately feel that something was unusual. Something must have happened, otherwise it would never be like this.
But what happened?
This is what they don't know.
