Jinzhou Zhongzuo Inn, an ordinary thousand-household office near the Bohai Rim of the Liaodong Peninsula, where the Eastern Route Army's 66 troops continued to gather here.

There is no radio communication these days, so the Eastern Route Army does not know the current situation of the Western Route Army. It is unknown that more than 100,000 cavalry have surrounded the Third Army and the Fourth Army of the Western Route Army in the Khalkha area.

However, according to prior speculation, Lu Xiangsheng, as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army, could also guess that the situation in the Western Route Army was very tense at this time. Therefore, as soon as he learned that the Eastern Route Army had all gathered and came ashore, Lu Xiangsheng quickly summoned the generals and the assistant generals of the Imperial Guard Army to have a meeting with the simple Jinzhou Zhonglei Qianhu Office.

Wang Zaijin, Mao Wenlong, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and other senior Liaodong officials also attended the temporary military meeting.

According to Zhu Youxiao's arrangement, although he attacked the Korqin tribe this time, he also had a deeper purpose, that is, to reorganize the political structure of the Liaodong area outside the pass. The Korqin tribe is just a relatively small force. Zhu Youxiao's real purpose is to destroy Wu Xiang's tribe and Jiannu.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the civil and military officials present very seriously and said in a heavy voice: "According to the latest news from the Jinyiwei, most of the elite troops of the Guanning Army of Wuxiang's troops have left the Ningjin area, but they did not attack the Korqin army according to the current order of His Majesty, but instead changed the direction of the attack, they went to the Korqin army. Not only did they have the Guanning Army of Wuxiang's troops, but also the tens of thousands of troops of Jiannu, they also went to the Korqin army with the Korqin cavalry."

"If I expected it was not bad, now the Western Route Army of the Imperial Guards had to face the siege of more than 100,000 Khalkhas, Korchin, Wu Xiang's, and Jiannu Huang Taiji, which also showed that in the entire Liaodong area outside the pass, the enemy troops were already in a state of empty force. They thought we were focusing on the west, and their attention was also focused on monitoring the movements of Shanhaiguan. In addition, the Liaodong General King of Jin and General Man Gui were deliberately making the illusion of gathering troops from the west. In addition, there were news that the Dongjiang Army and the Jinyiwei were strictly blocking each other, which made Wu Xiang, Huang Taiji and others not know that the First Army of the Imperial Guards, the Second Army and the Fifth Army had taken the lead in landing in Liaodong."

Lu Xiangsheng said again, "Time is urgent. Now, after I heard the direct order from me, the First Army immediately rushed to Ningyuan, the Second Army immediately rushed to Jinzhou, and then the two armies were against each other. None of the Wu family's children and slaves were allowed to be spared, and all were killed! All veterans eight years ago in Tianqi were killed, and no one was left to avenge their hatred for massacres of the people in the capital that year! At the same time, this is also a warning to these generals who are self-respecting, not to think that killing the people indiscriminately, the court will really not blame them for the past! This account will be settled sooner or later!"

Then, Lu Xiangsheng ordered: "At the same time, the Fifth Army immediately attacked Shengjing along the coastline and captured castles in the Daling River and Liaoyang to prevent Jiannu from coming to assist Wu Xiang's tribe. After all, His Majesty said that Jiannu's Dorgon and others were people who should not be underestimated, and Huang Taiji was extremely cunning. This time he marched, he only brought ten Niulu armored soldiers, so it was difficult to guarantee that when we wiped out Wu Xiang's tribe, the Jiannu's tribe suddenly wanted to rescue the Guanning army."

"yes!"

The generals of the Imperial Guards and the assistant generals responded in unison.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng ordered Mangui and Zhao from Liaodong to lead their own 20,000 troops to enter Shanhaiguan, occupying other places except Ningyuan and Jinzhou, to ensure that all the Wu territory was occupied.

Chang Yanling's First Army was responsible for the occupation of Ningyuan area, so after Lu Xiangsheng's order was issued, he immediately rushed to Ningyuan City.

Ningyuan and Jinzhou were two important strategic positions when Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan built the Ningjin defense line, and Ningyuan City was also one of the most important gateways besides Shanhaiguan. In order to build a solid defense line here, the Ming Dynasty spent millions of taels of silver here, so Ningyuan City was also built particularly strongly, and it was no less than Shanhaiguan.

Therefore, this is also an important stronghold on which Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui and his son depend on it, and it is also a bridgehead for them to enter the pass in the future. They hoarded a lot of food and gunpowder here, and even reclaimed a lot of fertile land in various forts built there.

Now, even though Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui have brought most of the elite Guanning army to the Khalkha tribe, three thousand elite soldiers and five or six thousand old and weak are still left to guard here.

Therefore, when the soldiers of the First Imperial Guard Army rushed to the outside of Ningyuan City under the leadership of the Dongjiang soldiers, they could still see the Ningyuan City troops still patrolling the entire Ningyuan City.

But even the three thousand elite soldiers and five thousand old and weak are still not in an absolutely weak position in front of the First Army of the Imperial Guard, which is fully armed.

Chang Yanling's First Army of the Imperial Guards is the direct army of the Imperial Guards, and it is also the most important ace army of Zhu Youxiao. Just like the Third Army of the Imperial Guards, the Most Representative Cavalry of the Ming Imperial Guards system, the First Army of the Imperial Guards is also the most representative infantry of the Imperial Guards and even the entire Ming army.

The grassroots officers of the First Army were all the first and third phases of the Royal Military Academy. Some officers who were originally early and outstanding special forces and some veterans with practical experience were not promoted to other troops to hold senior positions, but stayed in the First Army and continued to hold relatively low official positions in order not to reduce the combat effectiveness of the First Army.

Facing the wide trenches and the pairs of patrolling Wu's Guanning Army who were walking and uninterrupted, the First Town, the First Brigade of the First Town, the First Army of the Imperial Guards, which was responsible for eliminating the city defense, sent dozens of capable people to bring porcelain jars containing gas, and swam across the moat and broke them to the ground as soon as they came over.

Since it was at night, when everything was silent, even though more than a dozen porcelain jars were broken, they still attracted the attention of these patrol teams of Guanning troops. They hurried over and shouted: "Who is it!"

But at this time, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards of the First Brigade dived directly into the water and pulled out alloy steel daggers in the water.

The gas poisonous gas began to spread after the porcelain tank was broken, and was sucked into the mouth by the patrol Guanning soldiers surrounding them. The trace amount of gas poisonous gas only made them feel dizzy, but they did not completely fall down. However, they could no longer notice that the imperial guard soldiers who had quickly emerged from the water and rushed over immediately.

Although they wanted to shout and even wanted to send out signals, they were already a little soft and had their necks broken by the Imperial Guard soldiers before they could do things according to their brain instructions.

A white phosphorus bomb slashed into the sky, causing a bright color to appear suddenly outside the dark Ningyuan City, showing a corner of the Ningyuan City Tower not far away.

At the same time, the soldiers of the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards here also fired dozens of white phosphorus bombs, and the entire Ningyuan City suddenly seemed like daytime.

The First Brigade of the Imperial Guard immediately ran over with the temporary bridge bridge built by the Imperial Guards, and jumped directly into the still somewhat cold and biting moat.

According to the news informed by Jinyiwei in advance, due to the intensification of drought, the entire Ningjin area is even more serious, which has led to the moat of Ningyuan City, which was originally dug very deep, becoming shallower.

Therefore, the First Army of the Imperial Guards adopted this method to cross the Ningyuan City moat.

"Quick! Quick!"

The other brigades' guards immediately stepped on the crossing bridge supported by the First Brigade soldiers on their shoulders and flew across the Ningyuan City moat. However, after the past three brigades, they would change the brigade's people. After all, there were 20,000 people. One brigade could not always bear the gravity of 20,000 people.

Soon, 20,000 troops from the First Imperial Guards successfully crossed the moat. Facing the gate of the moat, the First Imperial Guards did not attack immediately, but waited for an opportunity.

After about half an hour, I began to hear the dense footsteps from the city gate. I guessed that it was because of the white phosphorus bomb that the entire night sky was illuminated, which made these Guanning troops alert.

The Guanning Army, which was patrolling in advance, was to avoid unnecessary interference on the crossing of the river. Now, the shooting of white phosphorus bombs has caused alertness in Ningyuan City. When the three thousand Guanning Army rushed to the city gate to observe the situation, the Imperial Guards did not think about covering up anything, and directly bombarded Ningyuan City with the starting artillery.

Suddenly, the entire Ningyuan City cannon sounded loudly, and countless iron bombs capsized towards Ningyuan City, knocking off countless blue bricks and eaves.

"When there is an enemy attack, go and tell the guerrilla general!" The Guanning Army became alert and immediately informed the guerrillas in Ningyuan City, which is now in charge of guarding. After learning that the enemy was attacking Ningyuan City, the guerrilla general did not dare to be negligent at all, and immediately gathered the only combat-capable three thousand elite soldiers and rushed over.

The guerrilla general was surprised because he could see that there were obviously no less than ten thousand enemy troops outside the city shaking flags and shouting, which made him very puzzled. He thought to himself that the prince did not say that there would be no large army in Liaodong recently. He just needed to defend the city to prevent the Dongjiang soldiers from robbing, why did tens of thousands of people suddenly appear?

"Send people to quickly and quickly horses to pass the news to the prince. Now it seems that the land of Liaodong outside the pass is not that simple." After saying that, the guerrilla general immediately commanded his three thousand soldiers to organize defense.

The First Army of the Imperial Guards was to let all his troops appear at the city gate, and then concentrated on shooting gas onto the city tower.

The guerrilla generals guarding the city suddenly felt dizzy, and the other Guanning troops began to feel uncomfortable and wanted to cover their noses. But at the same time, the Second Brigade of the Imperial Guards had already taken the lead in attacking. They wore wet masks and set up a ladder and rushed up. The Guanning troops, who were fumigated by poisonous gas, did not even have the strength to lift the firearms to overturn the ladder, so they could only watch the Imperial Guards rush up.

As soon as the Imperial Guard rushed up, he shot directly, and countless Guanning troops were shot and killed. The guerrilla general wanted to use his personal heroic killing several Imperial Guard soldiers, but he couldn't raise his sword and was directly exposed by an Imperial Guard soldier.

Soon, in less than two quarters of an hour, Ningyuan City, which was known as the impregnable, was declared to be broken.

The First Army of the Imperial Guard immediately opened the Ningyuan city gate, lowered the suspension bridge, and rushed over quickly. Although Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui and his son often stationed in Jinzhou, their families were mainly in Ningyuan City.

When the Wu family butler heard the cannons outside and rushed to notify the wives and grandmothers in the mansion, the imperial guards had already surrounded them.

"According to Your Majesty's order, the Wu family ignored the grace of the Holy Ones and committed rebellion. First, they slaughtered the people of the capital, and now they defected to the Khalkha tribe to fight against the Ming Dynasty. This is a very evil person. The nation's sinners will be killed forever, regardless of their relatives, age, age, and no one will be left behind! All the property of the family is lost!"

After the Imperial Guards Chang Yanling said that, he pulled out his blade and came to kill him. At this time, he was just strictly implementing an order, so he didn't care about anything and killed these Wu families very decisively.

At the same time, other imperial guards were also chasing the relevant personnel of the Guanning Army all over the streets. Whether it was civil or military positions, according to Zhu Youxiao's requirements, they would not be kept, and they would be punished for the crime of rebellion, so as to give the warlords who were trying to become independent!

When Ningyuan City was captured and the Wu family suffered devastating punishment, Fu Dahai, the Second Army of the Imperial Guard, also captured Jinzhou City.

The defense of Jinzhou City is more empty than that of Ningyuan City, because Jinzhou City was originally an important stronghold to prevent Jiannu, but now the Wu Xiang tribe and Jiannu tribe are in a quarrel, so the Wu father and son shifted their attention to preventing the Ming Dynasty.

However, none of the Wu soldiers in Jinzhou City were spared. According to Zhu Youxiao's intention, these were war criminals who had owed a lot of blood debts in the past. They were soldiers and bandits and must be punished the most severely!

The Fifth Army of the Imperial Guard also successfully occupied the Daling River area. Although Jiannu has started farming now, he has focused his focus north of the Liaohe River, so he gave the Fifth Army an opportunity to take advantage of it. By the time Jiannu reacted, the Fifth Army had already blocked Jiannu on the original defense line constructed by the Ming Dynasty, forcing Jiannu to watch Wu Xiang's troops being eaten away by Zhu Youxiao.

At the same time, Man Gui and Zhao Rujiao also recovered the territory from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan. All the veterans of the Wu army were killed, and all the fields were included in the imperial farm. Now the tenant farmers who farmed were allowed to continue farming, but the people who paid the rent changed from the Wu father and son to the imperial farm.

In short, the Eastern Route Army's combat progress was extremely smooth. Within a few days, the actual control area of ​​the Ming Dynasty was restored to the Daling River area.

Lu Xiangsheng also came to Ningyuan and issued instructions to ask the three imperial guards to gather in Daling River Fort immediately and prepare to attack the Korqin tribe.

However, when Jiannu of Shengjing learned that the Imperial Guard had suddenly appeared in Liaodong, he was also surprised and panicked. He immediately stepped up his guard and was worried that the Imperial Guard would return to attack Shengjing. Even Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa were detained by Jiannu to deal with the Ming Dynasty's turn against each other at any time.

However, in order to rescue the Western Route Army and Jiannu is still strong now, the Imperial Guard did not choose to attack Shengjing, but entered the Korqin tribe directly.

This made Jiannu breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't know that this was the beginning of their bad luck.

Now the Korqin tribe is also empty in force. Not to mention the three armies of the Imperial Guard, even one army can easily capture the Korqin tribe.
Chapter completed!
