The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 349
"Boom."

The familiar sound of the Hongyi cannon, on the land of Liaodong, originally belonged exclusively to the Jinjiang Army.

Zhu Xiu, who was twenty miles away, was patrolling the battalions with his personal guards, and he could still faintly hear the sound of cannons coming from the direction of Haizhou ahead.

Because the terrain was flat, he took his bodyguards to find a high ground in the distance, jumped to look, and could see the outline of Haizhou City on the horizon.

The 3000 Jinjiang Army established three camps, the left and right camps each have 4000 people, and the Chinese camp has as many as [-] people.

They are the horns of each other, guarding the grain road of the army.

Behind him, Liu Chengmin's [-] Jinjiang Army and the North Korean Allied Army stationed in the Tashanpu area.

Such an arrangement is not only to guard against King Zhongshun, but also to guard against Haizhou.

"Damn it, take out this momentum early, there is no chance for the barbarian army to slip away."

Although unable to see it in person, Zhu Xiu guessed the intensity of the battle ahead only through the movement, and felt dissatisfied in his heart.

The Jinjiang army restrained the main force of the barbarians and took the greatest risks and losses.

And the domestic reinforcements of more than [-], the Liaoxi Army and the Mongolian Army, only need to be responsible for cutting off the retreat of the barbarians.

From Zhu Xiu's point of view, this was already an easy task. Under such circumstances, the barbarian army could slip away smoothly.

Everyone thought that the domestic army's combat effectiveness was not strong, and they couldn't even complete a simple strategy. They laughed at it, but it was beyond reproach.

Until now to snatch Haizhou.

The combat effectiveness of the domestic army has skyrocketed, and the intensity of the war is no less than that of the Jinjiang army, which shows that everyone guessed wrong.

I thought the fool was someone else, but finally realized that the real fool is myself.

King Zhongshun's thoughts are self-evident.

"King Zhongshun is too bad."

The guards behind Zhu Xiu cursed one after another.

……

King Zhongshun wanted to seize Haizhou, in order to isolate the Jinjiang army's expansion path, forbearance and temptation, and finally seized the opportunity in front of him.

Get ahead of the Jinjiang army and start attacking Haizhou.

He was not afraid of Jin Jiangjun's turning his face, and he happened to be able to fully recognize Jin Jiangjun's face, shouting loyalty and whether his actions were loyal or not.

For this decisive battle, the imperial court provided countless supplies to support the Jinjiang army, the domestic army, and win over Mongolia.

If Jin Jiangjun is really a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it, recognize it as soon as possible, so as not to waste this huge amount of supplies on Jin Jiangjun.

If it is used to compile and train the Liaoxi Army, at least one hundred thousand troops can be expanded, and three years of military pay and food can be provided.

Although the generals of the Jinjiang Army did not accept his military orders and came to see him, King Zhongshun actually understood in his heart.

King Zhongshun was still satisfied with Jin Jiangjun's subsequent avoidance.

King Zhongshun was dissatisfied until the Jinjiang army bypassed Haizhou, one of them deployed defenses here, and the other went to attack Anshan.

The Jinjiang army dared to be so bold that they bypassed Haizhou and went directly to attack Anshan.

"Can we capture Haizhou before the Jinjiang army breaks through Anshan?" King Zhongshun asked with a frown.

Hearing King Zhongshun's words, Tumen, Cheng Zhixin and the others felt embarrassed.

This sentence was too revealing of his inner thoughts, King Zhongshun did not ask Shi Nai, Liu Ying and others, but asked his confidants.

"There are many soldiers in Haizhou and few in Anshan. With the advantage of the Jinjiang Army, it is difficult for us to take down Haizhou City before them."

Tumen knew the domestic situation, but he was not very familiar with Liaodong, so the answer to King Zhongshun was Cheng Zhixin, the defender of Liaoxi.

He has been in western Liaoning for many years and has dealt with the Jin Jiang army, so he can provide more accurate opinions.

Currently in Liaodong, King Zhongshun valued Cheng Zhixin's proposal more than his veteran Xia Tumen, and he was more convinced.

Even Cheng Zhixin thought so, King Zhongshun's expression turned ugly.

Facing his own toughness in the front, Jin Jiangjun chose to give in, unwilling to tear his face apart, but Jin Jiangjun's response also had this mentality.

No one wants to be the first to tear their face apart.

With King Zhongshun's control over people's hearts, he soon understood where the Jin Jiang army's confidence came from.

Cheng Zhixin has completely surrendered to King Zhongshun, and thanks to King Zhongshun's talent and power, he has become the most trusted general in Liaodong.

King Zhongshun couldn't see the ulterior motives of the generals in western Liaoning.

However, he didn't reveal any thoughts at first, he only regarded it as a long-term means of ignorance, and to win him over.

The Liaoxi Army was really under his control.

"Jinjiang Town is too powerful."

King Zhongshun sighed.

This sentence, without mentioning Cheng Zhixin, Tumen, who followed King Zhongshun to the west of Liaoxi from China, was also deeply touched.

Even among the four founding kings, the only one that still retains the fiefdom, the Nan'an County kings guarding Yunnan, Tumen thinks it is not as powerful as the Jinjiang army.

"The most important thing is to break through Haizhou City as soon as possible."

Cheng Zhixin said.

Only by rushing ahead of the Jinjiang Army and capturing Haizhou City first, can we have the strength to grab Anshan, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Only strength is the general trend.

This again leads to the cycle just discussed.

King Zhongshun shook his head.

Jin Jiangzhen's strength is too strong. Facing his tricks, there are too many ways to resolve them, so that his goal of attacking Haizhou will be defeated.

But the more this is the case, the more we must seize Haizhou as soon as possible.

Jin Jiang's army cannot be allowed to underestimate the imperial army and become arrogant.

Just as Marquis Ping Liao was concerned about King Zhongshun, King Zhongshun was also more concerned about Marquis Ping Liao and the Jinjiang town he established.

King Zhongshun gave a lot of money to improve the morale of the soldiers, and made a lot of promises to improve the determination of the generals.

For the Mongolian tribes, the rewards of the exchange market were generously rewarded so that the Mongolian knights could work hard.

In addition, he is fair in doing things, promotes talents regardless of background, reuses talents, and cooperates with his power, and the entire army respects him from top to bottom.

Haizhou has completely become an isolated city. Although there is a lot of food and grass in the city, morale still cannot stop declining.

On the opposite side, the Zhou army's offensive was stronger every day, and its morale was not low at all due to casualties.

Numerous Zhou troops took turns to attack day after day, and the barbarian army was tired of coping.

Especially when the Hongyi cannon in the hands of Zhou Jun blasted through the first city wall, the fighting between the two sides became fierce.

As more and more city walls collapsed, the barbarian army could no longer repair the fortifications smoothly.

In the place where the ruins were, soldiers climbed onto the gravel platform, crowded in the narrow area, and sprinkled countless blood.

……

Tang Qing'an's flag.

Arrived outside the city of Anshan, it caused a tidal wave of shouts.

The morale of the defenders in Anshan was low.

There were not many and not elite defenders, but when they saw the appearance of the nemesis outside the city, they became more and more frightened.

Three days.

Anshan was breached in only three days. No one expected it, even Tang Qing'an himself did not expect it.

It's too easy.

This is the first time since the founding of the Jin Jiang army that the barbarians have voluntarily abandoned a city for strategic needs, the siege has been so smooth.

"When fighting Haizhou, the war lasted for so long, and every inch of land was fought for. We suffered a lot of casualties, but we haven't won Haizhou yet.

On the contrary, Anshan, which is close to Liaoyang, is easy to get here. "

Tang Qing'an laughed.

It's not that there's no effort at all, but compared to the intensity of the naval battle, it's not wrong to say so.

In Anshan City, there are still many barbarian people who will have time to retreat in the future, as well as the barbarians guarding the city, and a small number of barbarians.

For these captives, Tang Qing'an did not slaughter them, but locked them up and strictly prohibited them from moving.

The soldiers of the Jinjiang Army had blood feuds with the barbarians.

Tang Qing'an didn't dare to be negligent, and he didn't want to cause bad things to happen because of these. Regardless of whether he was punished or not in the end, it was not what he wanted to see.

Jin Jiang Town has its own rules on how to deal with murderers who stained the blood of innocent people, and Jin Jiang Town has its own rules on how to deal with innocent people among the barbarians.

Only Jin Jiangjun cannot become an executioner.

Tang Qing'an was worried, and it was not reassuring to arrange soldiers from any department to guard the prisoners, after all, hatred can make people lose their minds.

Knowing that the Jinjiang army had broken through to Anshan, the North Korean army camped on the other side of the Tang River immediately began to cross the river and join the Jinjiang army.

The arrival of the North Korean army made Tang Qing'an's eyes brighten.

When Quan Shenxu saw Ping Liaohou, his attitude was extremely respectful, and he regarded himself as a subordinate, not an ally.

As a hereditary dignitary in North Korea, not to mention his talents, he has a good vision.

In this battle, the strength of the barbarians and Jinjiang Town in Liaodong has changed, and Jinjiang Town has the upper hand.

The king of Liaodong has become more and more worthy of his name.

Not counting Haizhou, most of Liaodong has already fallen into the hands of Jinjiang Town.

The barbarians are in Liaodong, and currently only the seven cities of Liaoyang, Shenyang, Benxi, Fushun, Tieling, Kaiyuan, and Changtu remain.

And Jinjiang Town has Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Zhenjiang, Deliying City, Yongning Jiancheng, Xinjin, Lushun, Yingkou, Xiuyan, Fengcheng, Anshan, and Guangxun Thirteen Cities.

And it is still unknown who will win Haizhou City in the end.

Not to mention this, Marquis Pingliao and the in-laws of the King of Korea, and Marquis Pingliao's infiltration of the Korean domestic military.

Quan Shenxu's mansion, who was in charge of the North Korean army fighting for Jinjiang Town twice, could see clearly.

Whether it was the [-] North Korean troops stationed in Zhenjiang for many years, or the thousands of rebel troops, they had completely surrendered to Jinjiang Town.

Using North Korean materials and money to support the North Korean army whose hearts are in Jinjiang Town.

Quan Shenxu read all the history books.

I have to admire Ping Liaohou's methods, even though the age of the person in front of him is about the same age as his son.

"Envoy Quanfu, you were the first to raid the hinterland of the barbarians and made the first contribution. I will reward the imperial court and the king of North Korea for your contribution."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

Quan Shenxu hurriedly shirked the blame. If he was really asked to make the first contribution, Ping Liaohou's contribution to the North Korean king would be fine, but the court still forget it.

It will cause dissatisfaction with the generals in the upper court, and he can't afford it.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Tang Qing'an finally spoke seriously.

"You received hundreds of thousands of Liao people in Tanghe, which really shows that you regard me as a friend, so you can make this decision. I will always remember your friendship."

Marquis Ping Liao's words moved Quan Shenxu, who could be regarded as Tang Qing'an's elder, to tears.

"Ping Liao Hou's words, I am terrified."

Tang Qing'an took Quan Shenxu's hand and looked towards Liaoyang City with a smile.
