The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 407 Do You Keep It For New Years?

Dead bodies were everywhere outside the city of Shenyang.

Chen Rui, who was in charge of organizing the offensive, didn't show a tragic expression in the face of huge casualties, but looked relaxed.

Faced with several generals' inquiries about whether to continue, he finally cursed uncontrollably.

"So many people have died, even Luocheng has never encountered them. The barbarian army cannot be underestimated even today."

Luocheng is actually the outer city.

In some places in the Guan, the outer city is called Xincheng, or Guocheng, and Tucheng. Liaodong people are used to calling it Luocheng.

Shanhaiguan's east, west, north and south, northeast Luocheng, is the outer city of Shanhaiguan.

"Anyway, it wasn't my own who died, and the moat was finally filled, the sheep and horse wall was touched, and the most difficult place was pushed through."

A boss with a face full of indifference.

"Haha."

After hearing his words, the rest of the generals laughed.

Chen Rui also wanted to laugh, but he held back.

The moat is difficult to fill. In the process of filling the river, they can only be beaten passively, and the cost of casualties is the highest.

On the contrary, when attacking the city wall, at least the lives of the enemy soldiers can be exchanged, and you can come and go.

I am the battalion general, and there are some things that need to be controlled, so I coughed twice casually.

Following Chen Rui's cough, the other generals stopped laughing.

"You still have to be restrained, don't affect the morale of the army."

The military spirit mentioned by the battalion commander is not the Jinjiang army, but the new barbarian army in the Jinjiang army.

The battalion commander just now had a burly figure and a rough personality.

"Head, stop pretending, the harder the new barbarian army fights, the stronger our morale will be."

"Damn it."

Chen Rui stared and cursed.

That battalion showed a smirk and didn't dare to continue to contradict.

at this time.

A soldier was dispatched on horseback to find this place. When he saw Chen Rui, he got off his horse and told Li Shen that he would be looking for him.

Chen Rui didn't dare to delay. After leaving a few generals behind, he left with the soldiers.

Outside the east gate of Shenyang, there were three battalions of the Jinjiang army participating in the attack, with more than 3000 people, and one battalion of the North Korean army with [-] people, a total of more than [-] people.

Li Shenghu is in charge of the overall situation of the East Gate.

"General Li."

Chen Rui followed Ling Bing to see Li Shenghu, saw Li Shenghu and the other battalion leaders talking, and hurried forward to salute.

Li Shenghu raised his head, and when he saw that everyone was present, he asked about the battle situation of each battalion.

He wanted to listen to what the battalion commanders said in person, and take a look at the attitudes of the battalion commanders, instead of passing the information from both sides through the soldiers.

All camps have different personalities, but no one dares to joke in front of Li Shenghu.

The generals do things differently.

Like Li Bosheng, Chen Kaiwu, etc., they are old and easy-going, and the battalion generals dare to joke with them.

General Li Shenghu has a strong personality and is young.

Many battalion chiefs are even about the same age as Li Shenghu's father, so Li Shenghu has always been strict.

"How many new barbarians do you have?"

"Less than 1000 people."

Chen Rui said uncertainly.

For several days.

The offensive against Shenyang continued.

The new barbarian army kept sending up and withdrawing, so alternately, he had not had time to count them in detail in the future, so he only had approximate figures.

"You are still a kind person."

Hearing this, Li Shenghu suddenly sarcastically said.

All eyes are on.

Chen Rui blushed, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only lower his head.

"The moats and sheep and horse walls of the other gates have all been breached, but our progress here is lagging behind.

The general ordered, three days later, to attack the female wall together.

I don't care what difficulties you have, before sunset tomorrow, I want you to break through the horse raising wall, or you will be punished severely. "

Li Shenghu said in a deep voice, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Rui again.

"You keep the new barbarians in your hands for the New Year."

Chen Rui lowered his head and did not speak.

Li Shenghu also ignored Chen Rui, and led them away directly.

"Brother, General Li Shen has this character, don't take it to heart."

Tang Ping, on the contrary, was embarrassed by the remaining battalion generals, and stepped forward to comfort Chen Rui a few words, telling him not to be annoyed.

Only then did Chen Rui raise his head, showing a wry smile.

Although there were many new barbarian troops, they had to be distributed to the battalions on the front line. He only distributed 2000 people, and more than half of them were killed or killed in the previous round of filling the moat.

After it's exhausted, Jin Jiang's army will be used later.

So he tried his best to control the rhythm and prevent the new barbarians from causing unnecessary casualties, but he didn't expect that it would cause General Li's dissatisfaction.

But also understandable.

General Li Shenghu's father died at the hands of the barbarians, so of course he didn't like the new barbarian army.

It's useless to say more, he nodded to the rest of his colleagues, and returned with his personal guards.

When he returned to his camp, his face was full of gloom.

Several thousand chief executives were curious in their hearts, but they dared not ask.

She was fine before she left, but why did she come back like this? She must have eaten and died.

"The general scolded me and ordered the horse breeding wall to be breached before noon tomorrow. I won't mention any more, you can figure it out.

At noon tomorrow, I will go back to my command, whoever puts me in a difficult situation, follow me to meet the General. "

"Here."

All the generals looked condensed, and the previous relaxed atmosphere was immediately swept away.

Speaking of which, there are nearly 17 troops.

However, less than [-]% of the army can participate in the frontline siege. Fortunately, the city of Shenyang is wide enough to allow the front line to be deployed, otherwise even [-]% would not be able to do it.

The siege seems to be a swarm of bees, but in fact, after careful study, it is also advancing layer by layer, and the layout is tight.

In Chen Rui's battalion, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in the headquarters, and the casualties so far have not exceeded 30 people.

Then the situation changed abruptly.

The remaining new barbarians were all thrown into the battlefield, hundreds of Jinjiang troops also joined the battlefield.

While supervising the new barbarian army, he himself had to participate in the war.

The intensity of the battle rose sharply.

The sheep and horse wall has been breached many times, and although it is still standing firm, the extent visible to the naked eye, according to the current situation, must not survive before sunset.

Shenyang City.

Layers of fortifications were laid out.

The purpose is very simple, to delay the time for the Jinjiang army to reach the city wall, and at the same time make the Jinjiang army suffer huge casualties.

Time delays.

But the latter purpose was not achieved.

The eldest grandson of the old slave, Du Du, the banner owner, gritted his teeth and his face was full of indignation.

"withdraw."

The sheep and horse wall here can no longer be defended. Taking advantage of the gap, he wants to quickly withdraw the remaining defenders into the city to prevent the entire army from being wiped out.

Those who attacked the city were barbarians, and those who defended the city were still barbarians, but the Jinjiang army did not die many people.

Du Du's heart was bleeding with pain.

"Wait until the city wall is different."

The barbarian Chang An comforted him.

The layout of the periphery is fortifications, including filling the moat, which is convenient for the captives to use, but the attack on the city wall is different. It is just a waste of time to continue to throw captives.

The barbarians had always been the attacking party back then, and had rich experience in using captives, but now the situation has just changed.

"It is often said that the generals of Jinzhou are people of righteousness, but in my opinion, they are nothing more than that. They are just people trying to catch fame."

Du Du cursed bitterly.

Chang An ignored it.

If I had done it myself, I would have done the same, otherwise, that would not be righteousness, but foolishness and pedantry.

As a long-standing veteran, although Chang An was unhappy with Jin Jiangjun's behavior, he was not too angry, unlike Du Du who couldn't let it go.

Barbarians outside the city.

Some retreated, some did not have time to retreat, and fell into the encirclement and suppression of the Jinjiang army, and their fate was unknown.

The barbarian army that has not been withdrawn, after counting, is as high as more than [-].

Huang Taiji received his own casualties and asked about the enemy's casualties.

Hutabu, a veteran in charge of Shenyang's overall situation, received battle damage from various places, and he also went to the city wall to watch every day in person.

Seeing Hutabu's expression, Huangtaiji's heart sank.

"Could it be that the enemy's casualties are less than those of us defending the city?"

Huang Taiji couldn't believe it.

Although the Jinjiang army has the advantage of artillery, artillery is not omnipotent, and they also occupy a geographical advantage. In any case, it is normal for their casualties to be less than the opponent's.

Hutabu shook his head.

"The corpses piled up like a mountain outside the city, but most of them are barbarians. I watched many times. The Korean army suffered few casualties, and the Jinjiang army suffered very few casualties."

understood.

Although Hutabu didn't elaborate, Huangtaiji already understood.

Without getting too entangled, he mentioned another important matter that he cared about, news that could affect the battle situation.

"Has the Jinjiang army ever divided up?"

"No."

After confirming that Jin Jiang's army has not changed, Huang Taiji finally changed his color.

Why?

Could it be that something happened to King Zhongshun.

Can you still count on him?
If King Zhongshun can't help, and the barbarians alone can defend Shenyang City, what will happen next year?
just in case.

What if we can't defend Shenyang City?
With so many thoughts and no accurate information, Huang Taiji couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while.

"Boom."

There was no conversation in the main hall, and the sound of artillery fire outside the city that had just been covered was immediately exposed, making people feel uneasy.

Seeing that Da Khan had no new questions, Hutabu resigned and left.

The moat outside the city, the sheep and horse walls and other fortifications were all lost. He had to check the Luocheng everywhere, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

Huang Taiji did not doubt Hutabu's talent because of the temporary defeat.

Father Khan before his death.

Many valuable treasures have been left behind, the largest of which is a group of experienced veterans, and now the veterans are withered.

Most of the veterans died in the hands of the Jin Jiang army, and very few died.

Hutabu is a veteran trusted by Huangtaiji and one of the few remaining people. He is in charge of the war, so Huangtaiji can rest assured.

I can't think of anyone else who can replace Hutabu.

"Khan, Fan Wencheng is asking to see you."

"not see."

Huang Taiji waved his hand in annoyance.

Now Huang Taiji no longer trusts Fan Wencheng.

At first, if Hutabu's suggestion was adopted, it would be fine to withdraw the main force to Nuer Gansi, but he adopted Fan Wencheng's strategy.

Huang Taiji could guess what Fan Wencheng was thinking.

This person hopes that the barbarian country will be strong and occupy all of Liaodong, and even invade the Central Plains if there is a chance, so as to clear his reputation.

This kind of person Huang Taiji looked down on, but it was useful to the barbarian country at the beginning, so he was willing to make a gesture.

outside the temple.

Fan Wencheng who was rejected had frightened eyes.

Why didn't Khan see himself?

Seeing the unfriendly guards in front of him, Fan Wencheng didn't dare to stay any longer, and went home sweating.

As soon as he got home, the butler followed him in.

"Master, Lord Bai is here again. The slave will put him in the side hall for tea first. Do you want to see the master? The slave thinks that Lord Bai is still here to borrow food."

The butler subconsciously thought that the master would agree.

The master's status is getting higher and higher, many Hanchens have surrounded him, Lord Bai is one of them.

Shenyang was besieged and materials were controlled.

Many Han officials like Mr. Bai did not receive much food, not enough to feed the whole family, so they had to borrow food from everywhere.

Their family is one of the borrowers. The master never refuses people who come to borrow food. Although they don't borrow much, they have won a lot of favors.

"No, just say me..." Fan Wencheng couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while.

The excuses that can be found are easily dismantled.

"Just say I didn't come back."

Fan Wencheng was spread out on the chair, looking weak.

When had the housekeeper ever seen the master's expression like this, he was too frightened to say anything, and went to the side hall to send Master Bai away.

Bai Yangcui was sent away from Fan's residence by the housekeeper, and standing on the street, he looked back at the housekeeper of Fan's residence with a begging look.

The housekeeper of Fan's mansion bent over and smiled obsequiously, then turned around and entered the door mercilessly, leaving Bai Yangcui alone.

The streets were deserted, with few people except for occasional patrolling soldiers.

There are only three hours of walking time per day.

I don't know how long I stayed there, but Bai Yangcui suddenly came back to his senses, didn't dare to stay too long, and rushed home in a daze.

at home.

All the original servants were dismissed.

The whole family couldn't help looking at Bai Yangcui's hand, which was empty, and the sons and daughters-in-law all expressed despair.

"Ugh."

Bai Yangcui looked haggard and leaned back on the chair stiffly, ignoring the crying of his family.

Shenyang has food.

What can the barbarians do if they don't give them what they have to eat?

Talk about contribution.

Compared with ordinary barbarians, Bai Yangcui's contribution is a hundred times and a thousand times that of the former, but so what?

"I don't regret the beginning."

While muttering to himself, he raised his sleeves to cover his face.

In front of his sons, wives, and grandchildren, Bai Yangcui didn't want them to see his tears.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry."

The little grandson cried.

……

Day two.

Several battalion generals came to report to Li Shenghu on a routine basis. Chen Rui also finished his report, and he took down the horse raising wall yesterday.

Li Shenghu didn't say much, and hurried to the camp of the Chinese army.

All the participating generals, as well as the general soldiers, gathered in the big tent.

Tang Qing'an and the officials of the military department listened to the reports of the generals, whether the progress was completed, and the casualties of each department.

The new barbarian army has been crippled, and there are not many left.

After paying such a high price, all the fortifications outside Shenyang City were leveled and five thousand barbarians were wiped out.

In comparison, it is still cost-effective.

The combat tasks assigned by the military commander were not delayed, and the targets were successfully achieved without many casualties.

"The military commander has meritorious service, and the generals also have meritorious service."

Tang Qing'an said happily.

The role of the military commander is getting bigger and bigger. Although the upper limit cannot be raised, the lower limit is guaranteed, which promotes the close cooperation of the various armies.

Whether it is the North Korean Army or the Jinjiang Army, they can play their roles step by step and according to their respective strengths.

Among them, the officials of the military division, the efforts of the past few days were not in vain.

I can't handle nearly 17 troops by myself.

Give your own order.

How to mobilize each army, each department, and each battalion, the military commander has made great contributions.

There have been many wars in history, and the size of an army of 10,000+ is also immeasurable.

Some have achieved brilliant results, some have suffered huge losses, and some have even suffered major defeats.

There were various reasons for the defeat.

The victorious side must have many details. Only by striving for perfection can all departments cooperate meticulously and advance and retreat uniformly.

If you want to be the winning side, you have to refer to how those winning sides in history won.

It is not enough to have a degree in directing.

It is also necessary for the armies to meet the combat requirements, otherwise it is just talking on paper, but if it is not empty talk, then there are many details that need to be learned.

With the victory in the first battle, Tang Qing'an's pressure was greatly relieved. There were generals in the tent, and Tang Qing'an became interested.

Seeing that the general was happy, it was rare for everyone to talk about it, so they all cooperated with the general and acted excited.

Generals who can reach this stage, even if they can't act, at least they won't tear down the stage.

"Since I went to sea, there are only a few hundred people. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the defenders of Yangguanbao going out to loot the city, they sneak attack and take this fort.

Hundreds of people beat dozens of people, and even when the sneak attack entered the city smoothly, they made mistakes one after another.

Even now, our army of [-] people, from guerrilla warfare to large army warfare, has struggled to get to where it is today, but it is a good step.

Not only the experience of the generals has improved, but also the role of the military commander. "

Tang Qing'an smiled.

At the beginning, the establishment of the military department office was just a passing effect. Later, the power became more and more powerful, which also led to more and more opposition voices in the army.

After many adjustments and suppressions by myself, the army accepted and obeyed the military commander.

Military division is his proud work.

It is like the staff department of later generations, but it has more power than the staff department and is responsible for more affairs.

"The achievements we have today are all under the direction of the general. Without the leadership of the general, how can we have today."

Xie Youcheng didn't dare to take credit, stepped forward and smiled sincerely.

Tang Qing'an pointed at Xie Youcheng amusedly, unexpectedly Xie Youcheng flattered her, even though she knew he did it on purpose.

The night before yesterday, the military officials believed that according to the strength of the Jinjiang army and the fighting situation in various places, the fortifications outside Shenyang should be cleared.

Where it has not been completed, it must retain military power.

According to the military commander's calculation, Tang Qing'an immediately ordered a general attack in three days, and got good news today.

It can be seen that the efforts of the officers of the military division are well aware of the situation of each army, and they are exhaustive.

Now the Jinjiang Army has [-] people, and there are more than [-] Korean troops.

Tang Qing'an could not understand it comprehensively and in detail by himself.

If you don't know the situation on the battlefield and blindly issue military orders, although it can be completed, it will increase fearless casualties.

The heat is good now.

While ensuring the lowest casualties in the army, it can also ensure that the combat objectives are achieved.

The atmosphere in the tent was strong, and the morale of the army was strong. Tang Qing'an repeated the old tune, making all the generals cautious.

"Huang Taiji's purpose is already clear, one is to submit to Da Zhou, cooperate with King Zhongshun to restrain us, and the other is to stay until the winter.

We can't give him any hope, I'll take care of King Zhongshun, and don't let it affect our army's operations.

You have to promise me that you will win Shenyang within two months. "

Tang Qing'an put away his smile and became serious. He looked at the people in the tent, including the generals of the Jinjiang Army and the North Korean generals.

Li Shenghu, Liu Chengmin, Zhu Xiu, etc., are the generals in charge of frontline operations, as well as North Korean generals such as Lu Shunyi.

Going forward, they all clasped their fists and promised,

Tang Qing'an nodded, and everyone returned. Xie Youcheng stepped forward, pointed at the map, and explained the daily details to everyone.

The city of Shenyang was strong, and the city was taken in two months.

It seems that the main attack is from all directions, but in fact the main attack is the east gate and the south gate.

Ximen is in charge of Liu Chengmin. He is the chief soldier and the general's brother-in-law. He also married a young lady from Jinxiang Hou's family.

The Great Wall to the west has been taken, and it is only a few hundred miles away from the pass to Beizhen.

He is responsible for this rest assured that he can appease Beizhen, deal with King Zhongshun together, and prevent King Zhongshun from affecting the battle situation.

The north gate is Zhu Xiu.

Not only did he want to feign attack on the north gate to contain the barbarian troops, but he also wanted to guard against the direction of Tieling and guard against the barbarian reinforcements.

So the east gate and south gate are the real main attacks.

Xie Youcheng was eloquent and detailed, and the generals below could hear him clearly.

Chen Kaiwu was behind the generals, unobtrusive, looking at the circles on the map, he was a little lost.

When he joined Donghaiying, he wanted to avoid being recruited by the Liaodong capital.

Even going out to sea with the general, who would have thought that they would sit here today and discuss the situation of besieging the capital of the barbarians?
Yu Guangzhong.

Those who have a good relationship, ordinary generals, generals, and generals of the vassal state.

Everyone looked excited.

"It seems like a lifetime away."

Chen Kaiwu couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Thinking back to when I was a hundred households in Youtunweiqiantun, my dream wish was just to be a thousand households.

It can only be said that good fortune makes people.

"Is there any doubt?"

After Xie Youcheng finished explaining, he asked everyone.

Liu Chengmin was the first to speak out.

He thought it was inappropriate for Ximen, who was in charge of him, to only do a feint attack. He felt that it was a waste of military power, so he should also undertake the main attack.

Xie Youcheng explained to him.

However, Liu Chengmin was still unwilling to give up, but when he suddenly saw the eyes of his elder brother, he retreated helplessly.

The credit for the main attack must be different, but even Liu Chengmin couldn't compete, and the others gave up.

Tang Qing'an looked away.

If it were someone else, it wouldn't be easy for him to be too tough. Xie Youcheng would be better off alone.

Everyone had no objection and went back to the camps.

On the road.

Chen Kaiwu rushed to Li Shenghu's side. Speaking of which, Li Shenghu was still watched by Chen Kaiwu when he was young.

Li Shenghu's father was the Qianhu of Youtun Weiqiantun, his hereditary immediate boss.

His master Ma Xuan is also his old friend.

"You are in charge of the main attack on the east gate, which means the general wants to promote you."

The rest of the direction is responsible for the general soldiers, but Dongmen is the general.

As long as people who are good at pondering can easily detect it.

Chen Kaiwu was good at interpersonal relationships when he was a hundred households in Qiantun, so he discovered the subtleties and came here to remind him.

Li Shenghu nodded silently as he looked at Chen Kaiwu.

He is no longer the irritable young man he was at the beginning, his mind is full of fighting and killing, otherwise he would not become a general, but a battalion general.

It is emotional to think of it.

When the general first came to Donghai Fort, he complained to his father, thinking that the general was good at making connections, and he was the same person as Chen Kaiwu.

At that time, what I admired most was my master Ma Xuan.

The second favorite is Liu Chengmin, who thinks Liu Chengmin is a qualified general.

Now he doesn't think so.

A real general must not only be good at fighting, but also understand interpersonal relationships, otherwise he will not be able to break through the upper limit.

It is also because of this growth that he no longer underestimates Chen Kaiwu, and slowly discovers Chen Kaiwu's strengths.

In the hands of this person, the North Korean army is very familiar with the dispatching. Whether it is an official or a general of the North Korean army, they are all willing to trust Chen Kaiwu.

If you are willing to listen to Chen Kaiwu, then Chen Kaiwu will be able to command smoothly.

It's not necessarily the case for someone else.
