After Zhu Yilan left with his daughters, Xu Xingxia redevoted himself to the study of thunder mercury. [Full text reading]

There is still no progress in the research of thundermercury, and it seems to have fallen into a dead bottleneck. It's the good news ahead, and it's constantly coming. In front of the murderous white-clothed army, the Northern Ming army had little ability to resist. The white-clothed army successfully controlled the entire territory of Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong, and the armies in all aspects were compressing step by step to the north. If there is no accident, the white-clothed army will complete the siege of the capital in the near future.

At present, the troops of the Northern Ming Dynasty are mainly concentrated in Datong Town, Xuanfu Town, Jizhen and other places, and the defense force in the south is very weak. The combat effectiveness of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division was not that Xu Xingxia despised them, but that they could not make Xu Xingxia pay enough attention to them. As long as the White Army dispatches the Leopard Cavalry, they can kill them all. What's more, there were other units that cooperated with the actions of the Leopard Cavalry. After solving the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, the capital was almost undefended.

However, it was at this time that a slightly unexpected news came: the Jianzhou Jurchens had conquered Shenyang! The Ming army commanded by Yang Hao was almost completely annihilated!

"This Yang Ho is still repeating history!" Xu Xingxia frowned quietly.

According to the information sent by Xuan Yingwei from Liaodong, the Ming army under the command of Yang Hao, the governor of Liaodong, was suddenly attacked by Jianyu, and the 100,000 elite troops were almost destroyed. After occupying Fushun and Tieling, Jianlu took advantage of the situation to capture Shenyang. Because the living force of the Ming army in Liaodong has suffered a great blow, Liaoyang City, where the Liaodong Capital Division is located, is afraid that it will not last long. Once the Jianyu army arrives, Liaoyang will definitely be finished.

If Liaoyang falls, the Jianyu army will definitely move westward and attack Quang Ninh. With the current chaotic state of the Northern Ming, it is impossible to send troops to Liaodong. In other words, the entire Liaodong, in the end, will definitely fall into the hands of Jianyu. Even at this time, Xu Xingxia sent the white-clothed army to advance eastward rapidly, but it could not stop the fall of Liaodong.

Jianlu moved to sweep Liaodong, which must have the cooperation of the Horqin tribe and the Mongols. The Horqin tribe Mongols have always had a good relationship with the Dajin Kingdom, and the two sides have been constantly marrying. The location of the Horqin tribe is just north of Ji Town, northwest of Quang Ninh Province, and it is a great deterrent to this area. Therefore, the westward march of the Jianguo army will inevitably be assisted by the Mongols. Perhaps, in the current Jianyu army, there is the existence of the Mongols.

"Where are the Mastiffs at the moment?" Xu Xingxia suddenly asked.

"My lord, the Mastiff Cavalry is currently resting in the Bayannur grassland. At present, the front line is the Xiao Cavalry Army, which is located in the area of the Hara Loop. Staff officer Liu Hanwu hurriedly replied.

Xu Xingxia looked at the map and nodded thoughtfully. At the beginning of the year, the mastiff cavalry successfully returned to Ningxia Town from the desert, only to be pursued by the Tatar cavalry. Those arrogant Tatar cavalry, trying to eat the mastiff cavalry in one go. Their fate is naturally conceivable. At that time, Ningxia Town gathered tens of thousands of white-clothed cavalry. The Tatar cavalry rushed headlong into the ranks of the white-coated cavalry, and almost all of them were annihilated.

Fortunately, the Tatar cavalry reacted quickly, realized that something was wrong, and immediately withdrew. After they drilled back into the desert, the white-clothed army did not continue to pursue. Subsequently, the Mastiff Cavalry and the Xiao Cavalry were reversed. The cavalry set out eastward to the Hara Loop to intimidate the Mongol tribe of Harashen. The Leopard Cavalry Army was stationed in the Bayannur steppe, rearming for battle, recuperating and preparing for the next Northern Expedition against the Tatars.

Xu Xingxia mentioned the Mastiff Cavalry Army, just to let the Mastiff Cavalry Army make another long-distance attack to support Liaodong if possible. Now it seems that it is not possible. The Mastiff Cavalry is still in the Bayannur grassland, which is too far away from the Liaodong front. And the cavalry army, which is accustomed to steady and steady fighting, although it is on the front line of the steppe, is not suitable for long-distance running.

"How's the situation with the Harasan tribe?" Xu Xingxia pondered for a moment and asked again.

"They still don't give up, thinking that we can't control the vast prairie. They're playing hide-and-seek with the Cavalry! Liu Hanwu replied briefly.

Xu Xingxia didn't say anything, silently looking at the map on the wall. The Mongols of the Harasan tribe have also learned this hand, that is, to play hide and seek with the white-clothed army. They all know the power of the muskets of the white army, and they know that if they collide head-on, they will never be the opponent of the white army. Therefore, they all adopted the strategy of guerrilla warfare, and absolutely did not confront the large forces of the White Army, but tried to entangle with the White Army and sneak attack the small and scattered troops of the White Army.

The huge Mongolian steppe, after all, is the territory of the Mongols, and they are very familiar with the topography of the steppe. In addition, as a front-loading gun, the Yue Yue Gun was indeed not very suitable for pursuing the Mongols. All this gave the Mongols a chance. If it had been a head-on battle, the Mongol cavalry of the Harasan tribe would have been wiped out long ago. However, due to the relationship of hide and seek, it will take a lot of time for the white-clothed army to control the entire Hara Loop. Perhaps, there will be a considerable price to pay.

At present, the forces invested by the White Clothes Army in the Hara Loop have a total of two corps, about 15,000 people. In terms of the number of troops, the white-clothed army is absolutely not superior. The Mongol cavalry of the Harasan tribe is too much to say, and there must be 30,000 people. As long as the Mongolian cavalry did not confront the cavalry of the White Army, the cavalry of the White Army had almost no chance of catching the Mongolian cavalry. On the contrary, if you are not careful, you may be attacked by the Mongol cavalry.

This is where Xu Xingxia is most annoyed. Without breech guns, it was a bit difficult to clean up these Mongolian cavalry. After all, it was the traditional territory of the Mongols, and the Han cavalry going there was tantamount to destroying all other people's belongings, and others would definitely have to use 12 points of strength to resist. Besides, no one else will look at you at all! Even if you have a large army, you don't have a chance to use the power of a musket salvo.

"Closely monitor the situation in Liaodong." Xu Xingxia said slowly.

The situation in Liaodong did make Xu Xingxia a little unhappy. Your wild boar skin knows how to seize opportunities. At this juncture, a full-scale attack was launched on Liaodong. After the wild boar skin took control of Liaodong, it was definitely going to kill on a large scale. This guy is absolutely ruthless. All the Han people in Liaodong will definitely suffer inhuman treatment.

If the wild boar skin takes all the territory of Liaodong as its own, and implements effective rule, it will take more effort for the white-clothed army to clean up in the future. Besides, after the wild boar skin cleaned up the Liaodong region, it would definitely march into North Korea. With the current combat strength of the North Korean army, it seems unlikely that it will be possible to stop the attack of the wild boar skin!

"Order Chi Hu, speed up the march!" Xu Xingxia thought about it and gave a resolute order.

Since the path of the Harasan tribe is impassable, the only way to go is to go to the Central Plains. Conquer Datong Town, conquer Xuanfu Town, conquer the capital, conquer Jizhen, and go all the way directly to Liaodong. This is the simplest, most straightforward and most effective method. Of course, this is also the most brutal method.

…… Datong Town, Tiancheng Defense Zone.

Chi Hu rode his horse and stood on the side of the road, looking at his subordinates, like a tide, constantly moving eastward. On both sides of the road were officers and soldiers who had been temporarily detained. This time, the shooting army fully conquered Datong Town, and it did not take much effort. In general, the battle went relatively smoothly. The split of the Ming Dynasty made the morale of the Ming army even lower and its combat effectiveness weaker. Many Ming troops, before they started fighting, directly collapsed.

Of course, this is also related to the strategy of the Ming army. Under the coercion of the white-clothed army, the Ming army obviously shrank the defensive line. They took the initiative to abandon Datong Town, retreated to Xuanfu Town behind, and prepared for a decisive battle with the white-clothed cavalry in Xuanfu Town. Intelligence shows that the elite of the Ming army are concentrated in all parts of Xuanfu Town, and there are signs of fighting to the death with the white-clothed army.

A small group of heralds hurriedly came, and the leader of the squad reported to Chi Hu: "Lord Commander, the order of the chairman has come!" ”

Chi Hu took the order, read it carefully, and then handed it to Gao Meng next to him. This time, the Shooting Force fought in tandem with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Together, the two armies have a very strong attack. At present, the vanguard troops of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have rushed to the city of Xuanfu Town.

After Gao Meng read the order, he said excitedly: "Tiger head, we're going to do a big job!" Hey, we're going to be the first to take down the capital! ”

Chi Hu said eloquently: "It shouldn't be a big deal to conquer the capital, the main force of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division should be almost cleaned up by Mao Shisan, and the rest are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and have no combat effectiveness." It's Liaodong...... According to the chairman's estimate, the war in Liaodong may be a little difficult. This wild boar skin, there may be some combat effectiveness. ”

Gao Meng pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Liaodong? Wild boar skin tartar? Not a big deal, right? It's just a bunch of savages. Well, even if the wild boar skin is really a bit powerful, is it better than Lin Dan Khan? Awesome over Mo Yuegen? ”

Chi Hu nodded and said with a smile: "I also don't think it's a big deal." However, since the Chairman has reminded us to be careful, we must be careful. ”

Gao Meng nodded and said approvingly: "The chairman has never been wrong. Since he reminds us of this, there must be a reason for it. This wild boar skin may have some ability. However, if he wants to stop us from recovering Liaodong, it is absolutely impossible. ”

Chi Hu waved his hand, and the two of them clamped the horse's belly and marched in the direction of the capital.

Behind them, a large number of cavalry of the Archery Army and the Tigers and Panthers rode like a tide, constantly rushing in the direction of the capital.
