Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 155 The Yuan Army in Liaoyang has surrendered!

The horse's hoof stomped on it, turning up the slightly damp soil, and the grass roots were lifted up, and then dented by the trampling of the horse's hoof behind it.

Arrows can be seen everywhere, trampled to pieces under the hooves of the horses.

Li Sanlang held a brow sharp knife, followed the cavalry of the Ming army on his side, and rushed towards the cavalry of the Yuan army in the light of the fire ahead.

The moment he rushed out of the darkness, he could clearly see the frightened expression on the face of the Yuan army in front of him.

The man had arrows stuck in his shoulders, but he still held on to the reins tightly, and his survival instinct made him want to escape from the cavalry rushing out in front of him.

But the speed of the horse that had already charged was definitely beyond his ability to escape.

Li Sanlang didn't hesitate at all. He raised his brow knife as he had trained in the past, adjusted the distance and speed, and then slashed down!
The knife technique was very accurate, and it didn't cut on the opponent's armor, but on the part above the exposed neck.

The strong inertia brought by the huge speed shocked Li Sanlang's wrists. He didn't even turn his head to look at the man, because he was dead anyway.

He urged the horse and continued to rush forward.

The chaotic Yuan army, under the charge of the uniform cavalry, was torn to pieces in an instant like a rotten net full of holes...

………………

Zhu Qi had been watching the battle ahead in the Chinese army camp, holding a small telescope in his hand and watching.

The telescope is not difficult to make, but the principle is difficult for anyone to figure out. In terms of technology, even the level of glass firing in the Tang Dynasty can be completed.

It's just that it is still very troublesome to make a telescope now, and it needs to be polished one by one manually, but the tools for polishing convex mirrors are already being studied by craftsmen.

I believe that it will not be long before mass production can be carried out.

But counting the time, early telescopes should have begun to appear in the Arab world and the Western world.

After all, the telescope was introduced to China for the first time in history during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

This can be regarded as allowing the telescope of the Ming Dynasty to appear decades in advance.

The previous battle didn't last very long, and the number of opponents was less than [-]. After the crossbow ambush, the cavalry charged again.

Those who can still survive are all lucky.

As for resistance, it is simply impossible.

As early as after a few waves of bows and crossbows, morale had completely collapsed, and the subsequent cavalry charge was a one-sided massacre.

It belongs to the link of catching sheep on the hillside.

When the battle was over, the wandering cavalry was still arresting the fleeing Yuan army soldiers everywhere.

Ma Yun had already brought the captured captives and carried a dead body over.

Zhu Qi was used to seeing the bloody scenes on the battlefield, but he still felt a little hairy when he saw the trampled and collapsed corpse everywhere.

Ma Yun was covered in blood, and he didn't get too close. He seemed to be worried about getting dirty with King Liao and King Yan. He knelt down on one knee and said:

"His Royal Highness, we have fulfilled our mission and defeated the cavalry led by Toumi. These prisoners are all the personal guards of Toumi. According to their explanation, the corpse behind us is Toumi!"

Tommy is dead?

Zhu Qi's eyes lit up, if he really killed the defender of the city, Liaoyang City would be destroyed without attack!

Liu Bowen naturally knew the importance of this news, he hurried forward, took a look and said:

"Your Highness, this person is Tuomi!"

Zhu Qi was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked to Ma Yun's body in two or three steps, put his hands on Ma Yun's hands, and then said to the left and right:

"This time beating the enemy's generals, General Ma is the first!"

Ma Yun was very happy when he heard that Zhu Qi had given credit for him, but he still said that he did not dare to dare, it was because His Royal Highness Liao Wang commanded well, what credit do I have.

His Royal Highness the King of Liao is the first one!
Zhu Qi was anxious when he heard that, what the hell do I have any grudges against you, I was standing in the camp of the Chinese army and fishing with a telescope, can I be credited for this?
He hurriedly reiterated that the credit belongs to Jack Ma, and he almost didn't say the sentence "I just fished and didn't do anything".

Ma Yun was moved in his heart, His Royal Highness Liao Wang really wants to give the credit to himself, what is this called?This is called empathy for subordinates!

With which marshal can you be so happy?

Not to mention, from now on, I, Ma Yun, will be a firm Liao Wang party. Whoever dares to say that His Highness Liao Wang is not, will slap him with a big mouth.

Zhu Qi still doesn't know how impartial and selfless his behavior of giving credit is. If it is written in history books, it will be a humility and excellence.

But now is not the time to talk about these things, Zhu Qi also knows that the opportunity is rare.

As long as you take the dead body with you and hurry to the city of Liaoyang now, you may be able to open the city gate in no time.

Zhu Qi hurriedly sent someone to take the dead body with him, and headed towards Liaoyang City.

The camp of the Chinese Army is not very far from Liaoyang City, and they arrived within an hour.

The defenders in Liaoyang City didn't know what happened. They only saw their general Tuomi leading a large army towards the Ming army camp ahead.

It is said that the general Naha came out to help with the army and attacked the camp of the Ming army.

At this time, I am afraid that he has returned in victory, right?

Good guy, it's not even dawn yet, it's all over, this Ming army is really vulnerable!

As a result, as soon as he thought about it, he saw that something was wrong with the army coming from below.

The sky was getting a bit dim, and under the slightly bright sky, it was clear that the people who came were a group of Ming soldiers!

what happened?Where is General Naha?What about General Tomi?

What about reinforcements?
Why did the Ming army come over?

Could it be that the Ming army won?No way?No way?This can win?

A series of questions made it impossible for a group of Yuan soldiers standing on the city wall to guard the city.

However, the Ming army below has already stood up and shouted at this time, saying that Toumi has been killed by our Royal Highness Liao on the spot, and he surrendered quickly and did not kill Yunyun.

How dare the soldiers guarding the city open the city gate and surrender so easily, someone shouted back:
"Impossible! Our general Toumi is brave and invincible, how could he be easily killed by you!"

Knowing that they didn't believe it, the Ming army put back the secret guards and the corpses.

The Yuan army on the city wall saw that these were the personal guards around General Tuomi, and one by one quickly put down the hanging baskets and pulled them up.

Those personal guards narrowly escaped death, and now the general is also dead. According to the rules of the Yuan Dynasty, if the general died, they were still alive, and they must be buried with them in the future.

As soon as he climbed the city wall, he was already crying into a ball. He died anyway. It would be better to surrender to the Ming army and save one life!
The defenders surrounded them and asked what happened.

These personal guards who are trying to survive are naturally adding fuel and vinegar to explain the martial arts of the army.

In fact, there is no need to add fuel and vinegar, they went out to nearly [-] people, and the entire army was wiped out. Not to mention that if one of them didn't come back, General Toumi even killed them on the spot.

This is really a complete loss.

The lieutenant general guarding the city sighed on the spot when he heard the ins and outs of the matter, and said:
"If General Tomi had listened to my persuasion at the time, and waited until the situation became clear before dispatching troops, why would this be the case!"

No amount of hindsight can help, the matter has come to this point, and everyone knows that there is nothing to defend in Liaoyang.

There are less than 1000 people left, and the four city gates are not evenly guarded, let alone the long section of the city wall.

Even if the Ming army didn't fire artillery, they would have taken Liaoyang City for you just by climbing the city wall.

Now go to the city to recruit recruits?

The general Tomi is gone, and morale is so bad that it can't collapse anymore. Who can have this appeal and courage?
The lieutenant general looked at the Yuan soldiers on the left and right, their faces were ashen ashes, and he knew that there was nothing to defend in this city.

The lieutenant threw the weapon in his hand and said dejectedly:
"We are defeated, Liaoyang is lost, if we don't surrender, everyone will die.

We're down! "

Those soldiers also dropped their weapons one by one, and then someone was the first to shout down:

"We're down!"

"We're down!"

Immediately afterwards, shouts of surrender resounded on the city wall.

The city gate opened slowly, Zhu Di looked at the scene in front of him, and looked at the third brother Zhu Qi who had a calm face beside him, and couldn't help coming up and said with emotion:

"Third brother! You are really a god of soldiers! The fortified city of Liaoyang was taken down in just ten days in front of you, third brother, without any effort.

This time the credit is higher than the sky, I really don't know how father will reward the third brother, hahaha! "

That Zhu Di laughed and said, and he didn't mean what he said, but Zhu Qi heard a lot of panic in his ears.

Thinking about you, Zhu Di who is like a dog, started again, can this be my credit?
He hurriedly began to claim credit for the generals around him, even Liu Bowen had credit, but he didn't.

The result is yet another round of flattery and mutual humility.

There is no need to mention these, the city gate has been opened, and the Yuan army on the city wall also put down their weapons, walked to both sides and lined up to kneel down and surrender.

In the entire Yuan army in Liaoyang City, no one dared to call himself a weapon anymore.

So the [-] Ming army marched into Liaoyang City in such a mighty way.

……… Three days later………

Occupying Liaoyang is only the first step in this Liaodong strategy.

But it is indeed somewhat difficult to go further through Liaoyang.

Liaoyang is Liaohe ahead, and Shenzhou is beyond Liaohe.

This Shenzhou is the predecessor of the descendants of Shenyang, and also the Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty.

But if you want to cross the Liaohe River and attack Shenzhou, it is not as easy as attacking Liaoyang.

A Liaohe River can block the way of the army.

Without the support from the left and right, rushing across the river to attack Shenzhou is an act of self-destruction.

Even though Zhu Qi didn't know much about military command, he could still understand these strategic things.

Now that I have chips and advantages, there is absolutely no need to make such a risky move.

If you can be embattled on all sides, why bother to break the boat?

After winning Liaoyang, it is necessary to start to lay out the defense line of Liaodong, and at the same time try to contact Sapphire in Liaoxi to find out where Naha's army is.

If he is still in the west of Liaoning, then naturally he will be eaten directly to expand the results of the battle.

If he is smart enough to run back to Liaohe, it will be a matter of how to plan the next step.

Zhu Qi didn't wait long before receiving the news that Nahachu had abandoned the defense of Liaoxi and crossed the Liaohe River to return to Shenzhou.

Good guy, I thought this guy came back to rescue Liaoyang, but I didn't expect to give up Liaoxi and Liaoyang and go back to Shenzhou.

Such a choice, on the contrary, caused Zhu Qi the most headache.

Zhu Yuanzhang also had instructions early on that if the enemy army abandons Liaoxi and Liaodong and retreats to Shenzhou on the Liaohe River, they will stick to the defense along the Liaohe River.

Of course I listened to Zhu Yuanzhang. For military matters, I must have listened to Lao Zhu.

However, Sapphire seemed to be quite annoyed at not catching up with Naha Chu, and was about to cross the Liao River to beat Na Ha Chu out.

However, due to Zhu Yuanzhang's order and Wang Baobao's threat from the side, Lan Yu could only give up this idea and concentrate on recovering the remaining cities in western Liaoning.

After Zhu Qi got in touch with Lan Yu, he immediately arranged a new task for Lan Yu.

Responsible for arranging the Liaohe defense line!

It is said that it is arranging tasks, but it is actually doing work.

It was not easy for Sapphire to open up Liaoxi, and the Liaodong he occupied was connected with Sapphire.

Of course Zhu Qi handed over the work to Lan Yu immediately.

Otherwise, go to Liaohe to set up defenses by yourself?

Isn't that troublesome? Zhu Qi doesn't know how to arrange it. It's better to leave it to a professional.

Of course, Zhu Qi didn't just have to be idle, he also wanted to be idle, but he refused to let him do a lot of things.

For example, after taking down Liaoyang, how to appease the people of Liaoyang is waiting for Zhu Qi to do it.

All the people in Liaoyang are very afraid of the Ming army.

How can this be done? Our Daming is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. We are all Han Chinese. Can we still eat you?

But propaganda alone is not enough. The common people listen to your propaganda every day, and it is impossible to change their views on the Ming army in a short while.

Still have to follow what I said before, the common people have to give some practical benefits.

Zhu Qi took people to copy the official office of the Yuan army.

The first is to open the warehouse to release the grain, of course, we can't release all of it.

After all, this is Liaodong. Although it is suitable for farming, it is still much worse than Jiangnan, a major grain-producing province.

After all, with the climate and environment here, there is no way to grow food twice a year and three times.

Coupled with the 10,000+ army at this time, all gathered here, it is definitely a huge pressure for logistics supplies.

Therefore, there is still some food stored in the government office.

And Zhu Qi's measure of opening warehouses to release grain has indeed been welcomed and supported by the common people.

Sure enough, the common people depend on food for their heaven.

Whoever feeds his stomach is God.

At this time, in the eyes of the people in Liaoyang, the King Liao of the Ming Dynasty who ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain is God!

Before the war, Tuomi and the prefects of all dynasties confiscated a lot of food, and taxed them heavily every year, so everyone couldn't survive.

Now not only has the grain been released, but I heard that taxes will also be reduced. This is a great thing.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the entire Liaoyang people changed, and there were voices praising Zhu Qi everywhere, and legends about Zhu Qi's past began to spread...
