[Today's chapter is presented, ask for a wave collection subscription!! ] 】

Li Zixiao continued to point on the sand table and said: "I expect that after we take the three cities of Zhenjiang, Yizhou and Tieshan, the first to be counterattacked by the Tartars will be Zhenjiang City.

Luo Chao, after you lead people to conquer Zhenjiang City, immediately seize the Jiulian City outside the city, as long as you take the Jiulian City, and Zhenjiang City is a horn of each other, even if the Tartars counterattack, you are not afraid.

I want you to make a big noise, and you'd better attract all the Tartars in the neighborhood.

When I arrive with a large army, we can eat these remaining Tartars once and for all, and then we can drive straight in. ”

The generals listened to Li Zixiao's explanation, and then discussed with each other in a low voice, and all of them were excited, and they all asked for battle.

"General, Tiesan and Uiju are all Korean cities, let's take them like this, will that Joseon king Li Liang agree?"

At this time, Luo Chao said with some concern.

"Hmph, it's not his turn to agree, this guy is still watching now, trying to sway from side to side, but it's a pity that there are so many good things in the world.

Before, I sent Yoshino and Fujino to kill all the Tartar envoys in Seoul, just to force Li Liang to break with the Tartars completely.

It's just that I didn't expect that Li Liang quietly sent someone to explain everything to Huang Taiji, do you really think I don't know? ”

At this time, Li Zixiao would not care about the attitude of the king of North Korea, Li Liang, anyway, North Korea at this time is simply a dispensable role.

In fact, Li Zixiao still attaches great importance to North Korea.

Fortunately, at this time, the national strength of Korea was weak, and there were not many available troops in the country, otherwise after the Tartars conquered Korea, they would also gain a not weak ally like the Tartars conquered Mongolia.

Although North Korea is very weak, it has a large population.

If the Tatars are allowed to continue to control North Korea for a long time, then the Tartars will also be able to get a large number of people from North Korea, as well as food and grass supplies.

But Li Zixiao is still very optimistic about this time to send troops to capture Dongjiang Town.

After all, Li Zixiao's timing at this time was too good, and the main forces of the Tartars at this time were all taken to the Songjin front line by Huang Taiji.

The hinterland of the base camp of the Tartars behind is already empty, and it is the best opportunity to attack.

Li Zixiao didn't even need to travel thousands of miles to rush by land, just arrive at Phi Island by sea and land, and then come to the city.

With the forces in Li Zixiao's hands at this time, if he was caught off guard, it should be easy to capture the three islands such as Phi Dao, as well as the three cities on land.

According to the intelligence officers of Zhang Fugui's Intelligence Bureau, Li Zixiao saw from the news sent back from Phidao and Zhenjiang that there were really not many Tartar defenders in these two places.

Moreover, even if they were dreaming, they could not have imagined that there would be an enemy who would be able to attack their place.

Over the years, although the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty fought a lot of battles on the Jinzhou front in the west, they were all defeated by the Ming army in the end.

And most of them were the Tartars who took the initiative to attack, while the Ming army mainly defended, which made their battlefield mainly concentrated in the Jinzhou area.

A place like Zhenjiang, which is close to the Yalu River, has been almost impossible to threaten since Mao Wenlong was killed, the Tatars captured Zhenjiang, and the Tatars defeated Korea and forced Korea to become vassals.

In this case, if you think about it, you can also think that it is impossible for the Tartars to place too many soldiers and horses here.

"Luo Chao, Zhou Dazhu, Lu Yuan, Hong Sheng, can you hear my order clearly?" Immediately, Li Zixiao shouted threateningly.

"The subordinates heard clearly." The four of them responded in unison.

"Good!" Li Zixiao shouted and continued: "Now I order, after the departments go back, prepare immediately, and the vanguard troops will set off tomorrow."

As for the main forces, they set out three days later. ”

Li Zixiao would personally lead the main force, and the reason why they had to leave later was because they had to carry enough baggage, and they needed to prepare.

On May 3, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the vanguard of the White Dragon Army, the 1st and 2nd Fleets of the Navy Army, carried 6,000 White Dragon soldiers and soldiers to Phi Island.

Three days later, the two fleets of the White Dragon Army entered the waters of Phi Dao and landed on Phi Dao and Sumeru Island.

Unfortunately, at this time, there were not too many people on Phi Dao, except for a dozen Tartars and more than 300 traitor soldiers.

With such a small number of people, in the face of the thousands of troops of the White Dragon Army, they didn't even make a splash at all, and Phi Island and Sumeru Island successfully fell into the hands of the White Dragon Army.

After the arrival of Phi Island and Sumeru Island, Lu Yuan's naval army strengthened and expanded the wharf here, while Luo Chao and Zhou Dazhu led the army to land on both sides of the Yalu River and pounced on Zhenjiang and Tieshan respectively.

A day later, Zhou Dazhu, who led 3,000 soldiers, successfully conquered Tieshan, where only 200 Tartars were stationed, and the rest were mainly Korean soldiers.

After all, this is considered the territory of North Korea at this time, and the Tatars only stationed a small number of men and horses here, which is also the requirement of the Tatars after the victory over North Korea.

It was mainly because of the proximity of Iron Mountain to Phi Island, and the fact that Uiju was the main location of the Tartar and Korean trades, that they left a small number of men and horses.

In the face of the sudden arrival of Zhou Dazhu, Tieshan City did not hold out for even a day, and fell into the hands of Zhou Dazhu, and then he left 500 soldiers and continued to attack Yizhou in the north.

At the same time, Luo Chao also led 3,500 soldiers to Zhenjiang, and he first took advantage of the night to capture Jiulian City.

Zhenjiang City, which lost Jiulian City, is much easier to fight.

In the next two days, Luo Chao bombarded Zhenjiang City, ordered the soldiers to attack the city, and half a day later, there was a loud bang, and the Zhenjiang City was blown up by the white dragon soldiers, and then more than 3,000 white dragon soldiers and soldiers entered the city.

Two hours later, the Ming banner and the military flag of the White Dragon Army were raised at the head of Zhenjiang City, announcing that this important town had changed hands.

A day later, Zhou Dazhu attacked Yizhou and succeeded again.

In this way, in only five days, the vanguard sent by Li Zixiao completed the predetermined goal he set.

The rest, Zhou Dazhu and Luo Chao, are to hold the three cities before Li Zixiao's main force arrives.

A spring rain, dripping and dripping, the weather at this time has begun to warm, spring has arrived.

On a dirt road, a mighty Tartar cavalry galloped. Ilgen Jue Luo Doro took a team of Tartar spirit horsemen and hurriedly set off from Phoenix City to Zhenjiang.

Half a day ago, Ilgen Jueluo had just received the bad news from Zhenjiang, and a Ming army that suddenly appeared in Zhenjiang had conquered Zhenjiang.

Not only that, but soon someone came to report that their connection with Yiju was also broken, you must know that Tartar now has to transport a lot of grain, grass and even people from Yiju every day.

Therefore, as Zhou Dazhu defeated Yizhou, they naturally lost contact with Yizhou, and let them know for the first time that most of Yizhou had an accident.

Under such circumstances, a group of 4,000 Tartar elite cavalry stationed in Phoenix City at this time set off quickly under the leadership of the main general Ilgen Jue Luo Doro.

This Tartar elite cavalry in Phoenix City is also the main elite horse left by Huang Taiji in the west near the Yalu River, in the hinterland of the Tartars.

Ilgen Kyoro was a Tatar who was the Yellow Banner of Gushan Ezhen, and once served as the Minister of Parliament.

Now forty-six years old, he was also a Tartar warrior in his early years, and he charged into battle countless times and was promoted to Niu Lu Ezhen.

But later, with Yuan Chonghuan killing Mao Wenlong, the Tartars had a chance to solve the troubles of Dongjiang Town.

After the Tartars eliminated the remnants of Mao Wenlong, completely occupied Dongjiang Town, and eliminated this big tumor in their rear.

Ilgen Kyoro was ordered by Emperor Taiji to garrison Phoenix, where he was responsible for farming, managing finances, and dealing with Korea.

But this time, Ilgen Jue Luo Doro had a gloomy face and was silent all the way, just kept hurrying.

Because, this time, the Ming army that suddenly appeared in Zhenjiang occupied Zhenjiang in such a short period of time, which surprised him at the same time, and at the same time, he also had a hunch that he was in big trouble this time.

The Ming army that could appear in Zhenjiang without knowing it like this, without thinking about Ilgen Jue Luo Duoluo, could guess that it must have come from the sea.

A Ming army that has the courage to attack across the sea will definitely be the elite of the Ming army, and it will not be easy to deal with.

Ilgen Kyoro naturally knew that the situation was now more severe than ever.

On the Jinzhou front, the Tartars and the Ming army gathered more than 200,000 elite men and horses of the two countries, and a decisive battle related to the national fortunes of the two countries was being held.

The sudden capture of the Ming army in Zhenjiang will make them feel like a stalk, and Ilgen Jue Luo Duoluo will never allow anything to interfere with the decisive battle between Huang Taiji and the Ming army in Jinzhou.

Ilgen Jue Luo Doro vowed to destroy this Ming army that dared to go deep alone as soon as possible, and guard their hometown for Huang Taiji.

Because Ilgen Jueluo also knew that Huang Taiji's battle in Jinzhou must not be defeated.

Once they lose this battle, then the wild boar Pinurhachi's decades of hard work will be burned, and they may be driven back to the mountains to be savages.

Therefore, at this time, once a fire breaks out in the backyard, it is easy to affect the morale of the front-line Tartars, affect Huang Taiji's decision-making, and affect the outcome of this battle.

The Ming Dynasty can lose again and again, they have a vast land, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, hundreds of millions of people, and strong war potential.

Tens of thousands of soldiers died in World War I, or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and they were soon able to recruit more soldiers and horses and create more ordnance and armor.

But the Tartars are different, the Tartars only have tens of thousands of elites in the Eight Banners in total, and the Eight Banners of Han and Mongolia are also counted together, and they all add up to only a few hundred thousand.

They could not afford a crushing defeat in a decisive battle, so Ilgenjue Lodoro would not allow a fire in the backyard to interfere with the fighting on the front line.

So this time, after receiving the news of the fall of Zhenjiang, Ilgen Jueluo immediately set off with his troops.

Zhenghuang Banner is subordinate to the five banners, and Ilgen Jueluo Doro has a cavalry battalion directly under it, which is recorded from the Zhenghuang Banner Manmeng every cow, with 20 horsemen and 40 Han troops.

Ilgen Jueluo Duoluo led his command, a total of 1,000 Manchu, Han and Mongolian horsemen to Zhenjiang, and every fifty horsemen were led by a low-ranking officer, Bashiku.

And each vest brought three Aha, and "Aha" was a slave.

Over the years, the Tartars seized the land of Liaodong, invaded Liaoxi many times, invaded the Guannei, and plundered countless Han people, and those Han people basically became the banner army of the Han army or the cloth in the end.

Without personal freedom, they were slaves of the Manchurians, who were forced to perform all kinds of labor.

Since Huang Taiji became emperor, the original 300 strong men per cow was changed to 200 strong men.

Every time an army is dispatched, a Niu Lu only has a few dozen people to fight, and these are the real elite Tartars.

In order to make up for the lack of troops, the Tartar banner army often went to war, and would carry a lot of clothing Aha to assist in the battle, or help to guard the prisoners, and transport grain, grass, booty, etc.

This time, Ilgen Kyoro took a thousand horsemen with him, but those Tartar vests brought three thousand ahabs.

Although those Aha are clothed minions, they may bring out stronger people, and they all have weapons and horses.

The team of more than 4,000 people, all on horseback, Ilgen Jue Luo Doro rode on the horse and looked back, and saw the long cavalry he led, he felt a little relieved.

With more than 4,000 horsemen, this is already a powerful army of soldiers and horses, and he believes that there will not be many Ming troops who can land by sea.

"The whole army should speed up a little faster!"

Ilgen Kyoro shouted loudly at the group.

At this time, in this Tartar team, a middle-aged man, Lao Yuan, was riding a horse and two other Aha horses, galloping behind his master.

And like Lao Yuan, there are 3,000 people in this team.

Lao Yuan is a coat of the Tartar vest, but he was actually just a Hanmin from Liaodong in his early years.

The Ming court lost Liaodong and abandoned them, the people, in Liaodong.

Lao Yuan has a family and a mouth, with elderly parents, a wife, two sons and three daughters, he has nowhere to go, and finally the whole family has become a slave in a Tartar vest.

Li Zixiao nodded to the two, and they retreated, Li Zixiao continued: "The second step, the navy assists the army, and at the same time lands on the east and west banks of the Yalu River.

They captured the two cities of Cheolsan and Uiju in Korea, and the city of Jingang on the west bank of the Yalu River.

The task of seizing Tieshan and Yizhou will be handed over to Zhou Dazhu, and as for the capture of Zhenjiang, it will be handed over to Luo Chao's department, and you must seize the three cities with lightning speed.

After taking the three cities, you don't need to rush to continue sending troops, first build a fortress in the three cities, and make this a bridgehead for us to enter the hinterland of the Tartars. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Luo Chao and Zhou Dazhu stood up together and took the order.

Li Zixiao's intention is actually obvious, the location of Dongjiang Town is extremely important.

Dongjiang Town is not Jinzhou, and once Li Zixiao reoccupies Dongjiang Town, he will not only be able to cut off the best passage for Tatars to enter North Korea.

At the same time, it can also be used as a base to attack deep into the hinterland of the Tartars.

Therefore, Li Zixiao ordered Luo Chao and Zhou Dazhu to seize the three cities of Zhenjiang, Yizhou and Tieshan on both sides of the Yalu River, and establish three fortresses.

"From today, except for the Third Fleet to remain on Tamna Island, the Second Fleet will be relocated to Phi Island, and the First Fleet will be relocated to Sumeru.

Based on Phi Dao and Minmi Island, you cooperated with the army departments to successfully capture the three cities of Zhenjiang, Uiju, and Tiesan, and cooperated with the defense of the three cities. ”
