Chapter 117: Seeking Longjing Pass

Jierhalang may not have thought that the various Ming army units attacking Santun camp would not threaten them. If the soldiers and horses he commanded could march a little faster, they might not be led by Mangui.

The cavalry was severely damaged.

The various units of the Ming army gathered in Santun camp at this moment have long lost the ability to fight continuously. The Ming army that existed in later generations never existed at this stage.

"Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Sun Chengzong knelt down and bowed. Under the astonished gazes of Wang Qia, Li Banghua and others, Sun Chengzong knelt on the blood-soaked land and said excitedly: "I failed to detect Jianlu's plot in time, which led to my great Ming Erlang..."

"Sun Qing, what are you doing? Get up!"

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he frowned and shouted, then he hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and pulled Sun Chengzong up, and said in a deep voice: "There are no immortals in a war.

Furthermore, who would have thought that these gangs of prisoners would collect so much kerosene and pile it on the city wall? In such a battlefield environment, Sun Qing has done a good enough job."

Sun Chengzong's eyes were red, and his emotions could not calm down. Just because he was not careful for a moment, more than a thousand soldiers under his command were burned to death. If he could have thought of this earlier, such a tragedy would not have happened.

Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou, who were standing by the side, were in the same mood as Sun Chengzong at this time. The gang of good men under their command who fought on the city wall should not have died like this, but...

"Okay, what are you doing with all these droopy faces?"

Emperor Chongzhen, who saw this scene, frowned and shouted: "Did I, the Ming Dynasty, defeat this battle? You all raised your heads, how can you behave like this!!!"

Although this battle, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, could only be regarded as a small victory. After all, thousands of Ming army soldiers were burned to death, but in the current situation, he must boost morale and the morale of the army.

Otherwise, the battle ahead will be impossible to fight.

Knowing the virtues of Huang Taiji, the Jianlu who were driven out of the three camps by the Ming Dynasty would definitely not evacuate in such a dejected manner. They would definitely evacuate towards the Hanerzhuang area.

"If you have hatred, take revenge! If you have hatred, kill the Tatars!!"

Scanning the crowd in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen glared and said: "The three camps told me that the Ming Dynasty had recovered it. Are you still afraid that you can't fight the Jianlu who fled in a hurry?!"

The battles in the past few days have brought the Ming army units gathered in Santun camp to their limit. At this time, if Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng and others cannot recover quickly, how can they fight the next battle?

If he alone wanted to command various Ming armies of different sizes to start another fierce battle with the main force of the Jianlu who were very likely to retreat to Hanerzhuang, what would be the probability of victory?

Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Zushou, etc., listened to Emperor Chongzhen's successive questions, their expressions became serious, and their eyes sparkled.

"Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight!"

Sun Zushou stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, "Now the main force of Jianlu is escaping from Santun Camp. Based on the general's understanding of Jianlu, they will definitely not be willing to evacuate the pass like this.

Hanerzhuang is the only place they can escape. In order to prevent the red-eyed Jianlu from killing them and causing harm to our Daming Pass again, the general will ask for a battle and lead his troops to threaten Longjing Pass."

"I invite you to fight!"

"I invite you to fight!"

Following Sun Zushou, Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward one after another and bowed their hands.

Although the Santun camp was recovered by the Ming Dynasty, the war was far from over. If the fleeing Jianlu captives really evacuated towards the Hanerzhuang area, they would definitely try their best to destroy the existing order of the Ming Dynasty.

If we cannot hit a snake within seven inches and make the Jianlu army that is very likely to retreat to Han'erzhuang fearful, then the advantages gained previously will be lost again.

"Longjing Pass must be conquered."

Emperor Chongzhen stood with his arms akimbo, facing everyone's gaze, and said solemnly: "However, the various ministries in the Santun Camp can no longer fight continuously.

I am very pleased that you have fighting spirit, but I cannot but consider the soldiers under my command. They have been fighting for many days and their physical strength has reached its limit.

Even if we really want to fight Jianlu again, we should rest for a while before talking about it.

Wang Qing immediately issued an order to Hou Shilu's troops in the name of the military aircraft commander, ordering his troops to divert to Hongshan Pass and join Zhou Yuji's troops.

If Hongshan Pass is captured by the Zhou troops, a force of troops and horses will be stationed to guard it, and the Zhou troops will be asked to march with them to Longjing Pass in a posture of attacking by force.

If Hongshan Pass is not captured by the Zhou troops, we will assist the Yongwei Battalion to capture Hongshan Pass, and then move to Longjing Pass!"

"I obey the decree!"

Wang Qia immediately responded with his hands raised.

As Emperor Chongzhen commanded the battle, a series of stage victories were achieved. The nobles, ministers, and generals who accompanied him were all in admiration for Emperor Chongzhen.

In this unfavorable situation, through Emperor Chongzhen's strategic layout, he reversed the situation bit by bit and defeated the arrogant Jianlu with a bruised nose and face. This insight and courage alone are among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

It can definitely be ranked high.

"If everything goes well, at this time tomorrow, Hou Shilu's troops, together with Zhou Yuji's Yongwei Battalion, and part of the loyal army will be able to set up their battle formations at Hongshan Pass."

Emperor Chongzhen put his hands on his hips and said: "This period of time just gives the troops and horses stationed in the Santun Camp an opportunity to urgently rest and recuperate. When the time comes, they will go to the Hongshan Pass area in batches, which will definitely scare the Jianlu.

Also, from now on, every half hour, we will send a group of cavalry to the west of Luanhe River. I want to know whether Mangui and Zhao led them to take any action during this period."

There was such a big commotion in the Santun Camp. Zhao led the troops to patrol in Mangui, west of the Luan River, and Zhao led the cavalry. If he did not take corresponding actions, it would definitely be unjustifiable.

After listening to what Emperor Chongzhen said, Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Zushou stopped asking for a fight. After all, Emperor Chongzhen's order was undoubtedly the most beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

Blindly launching an offensive by force will not only fail to create favorable conditions for Ming Dynasty, but will even lose the advantages previously obtained in this situation.

"Everyone of you, please don't stay with me."

Looking at Sun Chengzong and others, Emperor Chongzhen said sternly: "Go back to your respective ministries to appease the morale of your officers and soldiers and boost the morale of the army.

Tell the soldiers under your command that our Ming Dynasty will avenge the Three Tun Camps. It is absolutely wishful thinking for Jianlu to want to wreak havoc on our Ming Dynasty like this!!"

"I obey the order!"

With the recovery of the Santun Camp and the Jianlu invasion of the Ming Pass, the initiative rested with the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, the arrogant Jianlu could only passively endure all this.
