In order to cover the retreat of the main force, the wild boar skin could only use oil-adding tactics to invest the troops little by little to delay the pursuit of the Tengxiang Cavalry Army.&1t;/p>

The Tengxiang Cavalry Army naturally refused everyone and directly crushed and killed them all the way. When the main force of Jiannu had already gone far, the Tengxiang Cavalry Army had wiped out more than 5,000 Jiannu.&1t;/p>

It’s a pity that Jiannu ran too fast, while the various infantry divisions of the Central Army were slow to move, and the roundabout encirclement was not successful. Sun Chuanting’s idea of ​​trying to annihilate the main force of Jiannu in one fell swoop and ended up going bankrupt.&1t;/p>

However, while Jiannu retreated to Liaoyang in a panic, Jiannu, whose troops originally reached 80,000, lost nearly 40,000, or nearly half of them in a battle.&1t;/p>

So although the plan to encircle and annihilate Jiannu went bankrupt, Jiannu was still successfully released.&1t;/p>

Yaozhou Camp, the main force of the Ming army has been stationed here. At this time, Yaozhou City was already in ruins. The city walls here have long been flattened by Jiannu. The city has been abandoned and there is no crowd in the wild.&1t;/p>

Sun Chuanting was in charge of Yaozhou at this time and held a military meeting here.&1t;/p>

"Report to the military sect, the statistical results have been released. In this battle, our Jinzhou Town annihilated more than 37,000 Jiannu and captured 345 Jiannu, including Jiannu Taijidudu, who was the commander of the Enangbai Banner." The General Staff reported the data counted by Sun Chuanting.&1t;/p>

The military officers present all showed surprise expressions. Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "The result of this battle is indeed huge. We have achieved the phased strategic goals we have planned. How are our war losses?"&1t;/p>

"In terms of combat damage, the oo3rd Division was the most severe, with more than 5,300 officers and soldiers killed, more than 300 seriously injured, and minor injuries were not counted. More than 800 officers and soldiers killed in the Tengxiang Cavalry Army were seriously injured, and twenty-five were seriously injured. In addition, more than 1,300 war horses were lost, more than 800 horses were harvested, and six artillery gates were damaged."&1t;/p>

When everyone heard this number, they all took a deep breath.&1t;/p>

Sun Chuanting paused for a while, knocked on the table, and said affirmatively: "The oo3 Division was actually used as bait this time, and introduced Jiannu into the war of attrition. It was also possible to persist until the reinforcements arrived under the siege of 70,000 Jiannu, and the battle to the death did not collapse. This is really not easy. I must report to the emperor and ask for me for the oo3 Division."&1t;/p>

"Thank you, the military gate." Liang Qingchang stood up and saluted Sun Chuanting.&1t;/p>

"Although it is necessary to make meritorious rewards, this battle has not ended. After the General Staff and our officials discussed, since Jiannu has been defeated, the next time we will recover the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Please see, this is the Liaodong Peninsula, and our next goal is to recover the entire Liaodong Peninsula and take down Zhenjiang in one go." Sun Chuanting stood up and pointed to the map and said: "The reason why the time to recover the Liaodong Peninsula is ripe is mainly because the terrain of the Liaodong Peninsula is very beneficial to our army."&1t;/p>

"The peninsula is only a flat corridor on both sides, and the central area is mountainous. This means that after our army recovers the Liaodong Peninsula, as long as we set up checkpoints in the mountainous areas, we can prevent the main force of Jiannu from breaking into the Liaodong Peninsula. The entire Liaodong Peninsula will become a stable rear, without fear of being harassed and robbed by Jiannu after recovery."&1t;/p>

Liaodong Peninsula is like an oblique shape. On both sides of the shape are a corridor that is not too wide. The width of such a corridor is not enough to allow Jiannu to exert the advantage of the cavalry's maneuver and harassment. Jiannu wanted to go through this corridor to plunder the Liaodong Peninsula. He must first fight head-on with the infantry of the Ming army first.&1t;/p>

However, the Ming army was on the front and no longer cowarded Jiannu. It was not difficult for infantry to defeat the cavalry, as long as the infantry could form a formation. It was absolutely impossible for Jiannu to attack the Ming army. After all, under open terrain, large-scale cavalry operations would be launched in advance.&1t;/p>

As for Jiannu's infantry, they are also not an opponent of the Ming army. The Ming army's firearms are very effective against slow-moving infantry.&1t;/p>

As for the mountainous areas, the Ming army suffered a great defeat in Sarhu, and it was obviously because of the wrong expansion.&1t;/p>

Entering the mountainous areas to fight, the Ming army only needs to be in the camp step by step. Along the way, the narrow terrain of the mountainous areas set up checkpoints and fortresses everywhere. Don’t send too many troops in at one time. Even if Jiannu can defeat the Ming army one by one in the mountainous areas, how many routes can he break? How many Ming army can he kill?&1t;/p>

As long as the attacked Ming army gained a foothold and defended with the narrow terrain. And waiting for reinforcements, Jiannu would have no choice but to use the Ming army entering the mountainous areas.&1t;/p>

In the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army made many mistakes. The first one was to rush into the mountainous areas. When the crowded people were crowded, they were defeated by Jiannu.&1t;/p>

The second is the leakage of combat intelligence, but the movements of the main force of Jiannu were not grasped. Naturally, the enemy concentrated their superior forces to defeat the Ming army one by one.&1t;/p>

Mountain areas are like jungle areas in competitive games. When you enter jungle areas, you need to do more eye positions to ensure safety and initiative.&1t;/p>

Not to mention mastering the specific movements of the main force of Jiannu, the Ming army's combat information will not be leaked, and attacking in the mountainous areas will be enough to make Jiannu frustrated.&1t;/p>

If you can still grasp the main position of Jiannu, it will be even simpler.&1t;/p>

Just like at present, Jiannu had just lost a big game. The main force was already restrained by the Ming army in the Liaohe defense line and the Liaoyang area. This made it almost easy for the Ming army to recover the Liaodong Peninsula.&1t;/p>

Since the Ming army had an advantage in military strength, the wild boar skin could only lead Jiannu to fight mobile warfare. At this time, the Ming army simply adopted the partial push tactic, and the wild boar skin could only ignore the other.&1t;/p>

Just like the murder in the game, pushing the tower, the person is killed, and the next step is to push the tower.&1t;/p>

The Ming army gathered in Yaozhou immediately divided 50,000 troops to launch a large counterattack and sweep the mountainous hilly valleys of the Liaodong Peninsula.&1t;/p>

This large-scale mobilization was obviously extremely relaxed. The main force of Jiannu retreated to Liaoyang and had no time to care about the Liaodong Peninsula. Not to mention in the mountainous areas, Jiannu was distributing the Ming army's troops in the mountainous areas, and he did not dare to rashly support Jiannu in the mountains.&1t;/p>

With its sharp artillery, the Ming army attacked cities and villages along the way, with a stunning momentum.&1t;/p>

Jiannu is not good at defense, and the fortifications are relatively poor. Most of them rely on the passes left by the Ming army. However, under the artillery of the Ming army, these passes were defeated by the Ming army.&1t;/p>

Tianshui Station, Yanshan Pass was the first to recover, and then Lingyang, Xindian, Kuandan, Dadan, Yongdian, Changdian, Lingshan Fort, Phoenix City, Tang Station, Zhenjiang were all recovered.&1t;/p>

During the sweep, more than 1,500 Jiannu soldiers were annihilated and more than 20,000 Jiannu people were annihilated.&1t;/p>

Sun Chuanting personally led 70,000 Ming troops to continue to advance northward, advancing all the way to Anshan, only a river from Liaoyang.&1t;/p>

The entire Liaodong Peninsula was completely recovered by the Ming army.&1t;/p>

In order to consolidate the fruits of victory, Sun Chuanting immediately ordered the construction of the Prince River defense line, forming a font with the Liaohe defense line of the Ming army in Liaodong Town.&1t;/p>

Liaohe, Hunhe and Taizihe are three rivers that converge into Sanchahe. At this time, Sun Chuanting built the Taizihe defense line, allowing Jiannu to be curbed to the Liaohe defense line to the west and Taizihe defense line to the south, completely blocking the possibility of Jiannu robbing the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
