Commander, I lost it. This news was like the explosive depot on Xianglu Peak exploding. It stunned all the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town. Even Yuan Keli and Shen Yourong were stunned.

Now Mao Wenlong is too important to Dongjiang Town, he is the backbone of Dongjiang Town; now Mao Wenlong is too important to Ming Dynasty's Liaoxi War, every time there is a crisis on Ming Dynasty's Liaoxi front, he is the one who steps in to contain and resolve it; now he is very important to Ming Dynasty's Liaoxi War.

The Ming Dynasty is too important. Many things in the Ming Dynasty require his advice, and every time he can get miraculous results; now he is too important to the Mongols, because the only reason why the Mongolians can still live peacefully is

The shock of Mao Wenlong, the God of Death.

Only then did Yuan Keli and Shen Yourong truly see Mao Wenlong's huge role, and finally understand that Mao Wenlong is indispensable for the Ming Dynasty in love.

"Send people, send all the people who can be sent out, and find Marshal Mao for me." Yuan Keli abandoned his gentleness and calmness and ran rampant and roared in the lobby of Mao Wenlong's Yamen.

Send people, of course you have to send people. Xu Jie has already sent out all the people who can be sent out. Not only that, he has also sent out all the Liaodong bandits who have contact with him, and issued a heavy reward - find out and tell the commander exactly.

Those who are missing will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver. Those who can help the commander will be rewarded with 20,000 silver. Those who join Mao Shuai will be rewarded with 50,000 and have a general rank of 1,000. Those who rescue Mao Wenlong from Liaodong will be rewarded with 100,000 silver and be on guard.

"It's too little, it won't move people's hearts." There's no problem with the money, but the official title we in Dongjiang Town are the most we can take responsibility for. "Xu Jie, I'm giving orders now to double the reward for the official title. You hurry up and contact Liaodong."

Xu Jie immediately sent people to Liaodong to do as Yuan Keli said, that is, there are people who sell iron in Dongjiang Town for money, and the officials are protected by Governor Denglai. I don't believe that there are no brave men under the heavy reward.

Shen Yourong suggested that now, the war situation has changed again. Not only did Mao Zhongming's Zhenjiang fail to attract the enemy's main force, but it is also a waste of time. The white flag has also rushed to the battlefield, and Li Yongfang, who originally reached an agreement, might be under the pressure of Du Du

, and may also join the attack on Zhenjiang. By then, it will not be a mixed meal, but a pot of rice. From this point of view, Mao Zhongming's team is simply worthless. Therefore, I suggest that Mao Zhongming be withdrawn from Zhenjiang, and his team

After more than ten thousand soldiers withdrew across the Yalu River, they went north along the river to Manpu, preparing to respond or attack the hinterland of Liaodong to rescue Mao Shuai."

This is a good idea. Now Mao Zhongming is really in a dilemma. Tong Yangxing in the city is heavily fortified, and the military camp fortress is bombarded with artillery every day. It is impossible for Mao Zhongming to concentrate on defending the city.

Although Mandu outside the city was ambushed several times when retreating the people, he still relied on his strength to retain seven or eight hundred troops, and he still stalked them like dog skin plaster. As a result, Du Du was framed.

Bai Qi arrived. This time, Mao Zhongming was under too much pressure, and he couldn't resist it at all.

Since he has not played the role he should have, we should remove him from the rice bowl and prepare to send troops to rescue him as soon as the commander has news.

Xu Jie suggested: "Tomorrow, we will launch a desperate attack on Zhenghongqi who is surrounded by us. We will annihilate him in the shortest possible time. Then we will stay with Zhang Pan to guard the front line of Xiuyan in Haizhou. The four guards who can be protected will not be able to survive."

Lose again." Then he handed over to Shen Yourong: "Please also ask the old general to dispatch several brother generals Liu Xingzuo to assist General Zhang Pan in defending the city. And allocate Zhang Pan's three battalions."

It had been stated in advance that after brother Liu Xingzuo was dismissed, his troops were immediately transferred to Shandong to avoid conflict with Mao Wenlong. Therefore, brother Liu Xingzuo was now a general in Shandong, so Xu Jie invited Shen Yourong.

Of course Shen Yourong agreed: "He has been placed under the jurisdiction of Governor Denglai by Mr. Yuan, and the court has agreed. Let Mr. Yuan decide this matter."

Yuan Keli, whose eyes were already bloodshot, immediately agreed without hesitation: "There is no problem with this." Then he pondered for a moment: "The four generals have recently returned. I'm afraid that the army's morale will be unstable. I will personally take charge of Fuzhou."

Xu Jie nodded, then faced Shan Xizhong: "Old General, after annihilating Zhenghong Banner, your Changshan Island Independent Battalion will immediately gather along the Yalu River and wait for my order."

Shan Xizhong accepted the order without hesitation: "Sir, don't worry, in three days, our independent battalion will be ready by the Yalu River."

"General Chen Zhong, your navy must immediately gather at the mouth of the Yalu River. Although the Yalu River is frozen, we must be ready for transshipment at any time."

Chen Zhong replied loudly: "Starry night rushes to help, and we will never neglect it."

"General Li Guangchun."

Li Guangchun immediately stood up and raised his hands to Xu Jie: "General, I will obey the order."

"How many more people can you put out of your boot camp now?"

"We have recruited 12,000 new soldiers in our boot camp, but less than 3,000 are able to go into battle."

Xu Jie waved his hand: "No matter what, all those who can go into battle will go into battle. Set off from the ice of Pidao immediately and go to North Korea to stand by."

Li Guangchun was a little embarrassed: "The training camp is mainly for training, but after the whole army goes out, we have the order to stay behind and guard our base. If the whole army is dispatched, our base will not have a single soldier on Pidao. In case of an accident, There was something wrong at all——"

Xu Jie immediately interrupted Li Guangchun: "Dongjiang Town is not Pi Dao at all. Dongjiang Town is basically Mao Shuai. Once Mao Shuai is killed, Dongjiang Town will collapse in an instant. Rescue the Marshal is the first priority in everything. This is a military order , must be implemented.”

Li Guangchun puffed up his chest and said, "I will take the order."

"Mao Xueli, you immediately reorganize and strengthen the people into a people's army. The more the better, and be ready to launch a desperate attack on Li Yongfang and the Zhenjiang front line at any time. Once Li Yongfang is defeated, lead the people's army with all their strength to Liaoyang, the new capital of slaves. attack."

This is no surprise. Mao Wenlong relied on the refugee people to make his fortune. It is sheer nonsense to talk about loving the people at this time. Everything that can be brought out must be given out.

Mao Xueli loudly accepted the order.

"Also, you immediately organize all the people who can organize to dig ice along the strait between Phi Island and North Korea to cut off the connection between Phi Island and the mainland to prevent the slaves from crossing the sea to attack Phi Island."

In this freezing cold weather, we don’t know how many people will die if we cut through the ice, but this is the only way to protect Phi Island now.

After the arrangements were made, Xu Jie silently calculated with his hands behind his back: "Zhu Ming's Lushun must deploy one battalion to prevent Jiannu from crossing the ice from the sea to sneak attack. Then Mao Zhongming's three battalions, Zhang Pan's three battalions, and Changshan Island are independent." Battalion, four battalions can be mobilized after Zhenghongqi is resolved, but Haizhou must leave one battalion. That is to say, now we can mobilize ten battalions, plus the artillery division, navy division, and training camp. , the total number we can send to the direction of Hetuala is 60,000 troops, and each battalion suffered about 10,000 battle losses, which means there are only 50,000 troops. It is not enough, it is really not enough. Where are the troops? Where are the troops? "

There are no more soldiers. This is all the people in Dongjiang Town. Now we can only use the outer perimeter of Lushun, Haizhou and Xiuyan to protect the weak interior of Dongjiang Town, which has no soldiers. The whole army is dispatched. For the safety of the commander, even if it is with

Nurhachi would not hesitate to have a decisive battle.

But no matter how you calculate it, Dongjiang Town only has this amount of troops, and there are seven more Eight Banners to build slaves. The minimum strength is 60,000, 60,000 to 50,000. No matter how powerful the Fu Liao Army is, it will never be comparable. Really.

In the decisive battle, the level of Dongjiang Town's soldiers would be at least 300,000.

But now even if Xu Jie has the ability to spread the beans and make an army, he still can't get 300,000.

At this time Mao Xueli suggested: "In this war, we were originally helping Master Sun in western Liaoning to contain Jiannu's attack on western Liaoning. Now Jiannu has not attacked western Liaoning at all. From this point of view, Master Sun and Yuan Chonghuan owe us a favor, so

, We need him to return it to us at this time, so we ask Master Sun to send out 150,000 Guanning cavalry troops. We don’t need him to attack the hinterland of Liaodong. Even if they can press to the west bank of the Liao River, they can contain two or three Eight Banners."

Xu Jie clapped his hands: "Yes, Guan Ning's cavalry, as long as he sends troops, he will definitely attract most of the slaves, and then our affairs will be much easier to handle." Then he looked directly at Yuan Keli: "Please also ask the boss to write a seal.

Letter, begging Master Sun to send troops."

Yuan Keli pondered for a moment: "Although I have a good relationship with Master Sun, I cannot command him and use favors to plead. This is a personal matter that harms national affairs."

As soon as Yuan Keli finished speaking, all the soldiers in the hall looked at Yuan Keli with hatred.

Of course Yuan Keli understood and quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to help, but it's not possible to help like this. You should prepare to take action now. I will immediately write a letter to ask the Emperor's Ministry of War to order Master Sun to send troops. This is in line with the rules."

Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief and calculated with his fingers: "The letter can be reached Tianjin in two days and nights by walking on the sea ice with a sledge. It only takes half a day to travel from Tianjin to Beijing at starry night. The emperor decided that it will be half a day. It will take another day to convey the decree to Master Sun."

On the same day, Master Sun prepared for at least three days, and the fastest is seven days. But here, it will take one to three days to annihilate the Zhenghong Banner, and the entire army will be pressed to the Yalu River, and it will take six or seven days to advance to Manpu, which is just right to advance together.

Then, the matter is settled."

The matter is settled like this, but everyone is still full of worries. The days are calculated this way, but whether Guan Ning will send troops is another matter. After all, this time Jian Nu sent troops to Liaoxi, it scared Guan Ning to rely on the strong city to fight back.

Asking for help everywhere, let them take the initiative? There is not much hope, but we have to treat the horse as a living doctor.

Xu Jie firmly ordered: "No matter what, we must rescue the commander at all costs. The entire army will prepare immediately to annihilate Zhenghongqi tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, the entire army will march to the Yalu River to attack Hetuala, Liaodong Province.

Attack to the death." Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we spend everything we have, we will definitely rescue Marshal Mao."

All the soldiers roared in a low voice: "Fight, fight."
