In September of the third year of Tianqi, the Ming army came out in full bloom.

More than 280,000 regular troops appeared in the Liaohe Plain, among which Mao Wenlong defended Fushun and established the Fushun defense line based on the mountainous areas. The Central Army launched an attack on Liaoyang, while the Liaodong Army led by Sun Chengzong launched an attack on Chenyang.

The Ming army in the counterattack was very high and shouted the slogan of fighting until Shenyang to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The battle situation is no longer under the control of Zhu Youxiao.

But these are no longer important. The Ming army's counterattack situation has been formed, and the arrow has been on the string. The facts prove that the Ming army won the victory easily in this big counterattack.

Wild Boar Skin dared not confront the Ming army head-on. After learning that the Ming army had left in full swing, he immediately ordered the abandonment of Chenyang and Liaoyang and retreat to Tieling.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army has already made the wild boar skin feel scared.

The previous few confrontations were already afraid of the wild boar skin. The wild boar skin was very calm. He fully realized that at this time, the end of the battle with the Ming army would only be a failure, and there was no second possibility.

This time, the Ming army's major counterattack was not the Battle of Sarhu. At that time, the Ming army did not have so many troops, and there were no such sharp artillery and cavalry.

On the plain terrain, the Ming army, equipped with a large number of firearms, had already proved to be a dead end in the previous Yaozhou War.

However, if he retreated to the mountainous area, the old city of Hetuala was also taken away by the Ming army. In order to avoid the edge for a while, the wild boar skin had to take people to Tieling.

This retreat was like a fight and escape, not just a matter of withdrawing troops to Tieling. There were also the families of Jiannu soldiers, who were more than 200,000 tribes.

Mao Wenlong rushed into the rear of Jiannu, conquered Hetuara, and had slaughtered tens of thousands of people, and more Jiannu fled into the mountains.

There are about 300,000 Jiannu living on the Liaohe Plain.

Jiannu did not have that large population these days, especially after the Ming army's guerrilla warfare was fully launched, many people moved to the mountainous areas.

Tieling is just the first stop to escape, and it is too close to the sun.

Without any resistance, the Ming army successfully recovered Liaoyang and Chenyang. Before Jiannu left, he had no time to destroy the city wall.

According to Jiannu's habits, these fortifications of the Ming army were directly destroyed. However, when the Chenyang and Liaoyang were captured, Jiannu had the idea of ​​occupying them for a long time, and the city wall was preserved.

However, when the Ming army drove into Chenyang and Liaoyang, they found that all the Han people inside had been killed. The streets and alleys were filled with the bodies of Han people who had just been killed. Moreover, all the houses, supplies and other things were burned by Jiannu.

What was left to the Ming army was a scorched earth and a corpse of the ground.

Many of these corpses were even Han soldiers who were dedicated to Jiannu, and were also ordered to be slaughtered by wild boar skins.

Wild Boar Skin knew very well that after the Ming army reoccupied the Liaodong battlefield, these Han soldiers were completely unreliable and could rebel at any time, and the possibility was extremely high. After all, these Han people could not really be willing to escape with them. Moreover, they retreated too hasty and did not bring much food or anything. Various conflicts would arise in the future, and it was even more impossible to keep these Han people to share food and other supplies with them.

Instead of staying by your side and becoming a time bomb, it is better to kill it directly.

Before the wild boar skin ordered his retreat, he almost killed all the Han people who could be killed, and burned all the things that could not be taken away.

After Sun Chuanting entered Liaoyang, he saw scorched earth and corpses, and was trembling with anger. "These Jiannu are simply crazy. They should be killed and killed."

A group of officers were also very angry when they saw this scene, and excitedly asked Sun Chuanting to go to war.

"First go to Chenyang to join the Liaodong army, and then return blood to blood to teeth." Sun Chuanting slapped the table and ordered everyone.

"Yes, sir."

Before August 15th, the Ming army successfully met in Shenyang and realized the slogan of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in Shenyang. However, a group of Ming soldiers were extremely angry and were eager to find Jiannu to take revenge.

Similarly, Jiannu's heads are all military achievements.

After the two imperial officials, Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting, met in Shenyang, they quickly reached a unified unity of the subsequent combat plan.

Both of them understood that the Ming army lacked large-scale cavalry at this time and could have completely wiped out the main force of Jiannu. Therefore, the Ming army should not advance in a hurry.

"We just need to advance slowly, and it is easy to recover Tieling. After driving Jiannu away from Tieling, Jiannu could only go to the cold and miserable place further north, without enough output as support. Jiannu would soon face collapse." Sun Chuanting said confidently.

"Yes, now we have recaptured Liaoyang and Shenyang, and conquered Jiannu's old nest Hetuala. Then we drove Jiannu away from Tieling. Jiannu had no foundation and would only cause people's hearts to fall apart." Sun Chengzong nodded, "But Jiannu may also launch a major counterattack."

After the Jiannu evacuated the Liaohe Plain, it was destined that Jiannu could no longer maintain his current military strength. They were not engaged in production, and they could not take any advantage from the Ming army. They could not rob things through robbery. After all, the production of the Liaohe Plain had completely withered. Before the Ming Dynasty organized immigration, there were no ordinary Han people here. Who would Jiannu rob?

At that time, Jiannu will even have a problem with eating, so the only solution is to split. Only by splitting to various places can you eat enough. After all, even if you are hunting and surviving, the population density cannot be too high.

For the robber gang Jiannu, the reason why they were cohesive in the past and did not have internal conflicts was mainly to lead all the conflicts to the outside world. By continuously launching robbery operations, a robber interest group naturally formed after success.

Such robber groups are often the most vulnerable when facing failure.

"Counterattack? Possible" After hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Sun Chuanting thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. After all, wild boar skin still has a certain prestige, and wild boar skin is likely to have a chance to win the group's split. If you lose at that time, it will not be worse than split. But if you win, it will be a big prize.

However, what Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting are now facing is how the emperor will react to this counterattack? Whether he agrees with the next combat plan.

The Ming army launched a large counterattack this time, completely beyond Zhu Youxiao's expectations.

When the good news of regaining Chenyang and Liaoyang was placed in front of him, Zhu Youxiao was still a little dazed.

"Is Chen Yang recovered now?" Zhu Youxiao was a little confused, feeling that it was too relaxed.

"Your Majesty, it is normal for front-line officers and soldiers to recover Chenyang. After all, the military force arranged by the imperial court in Liaodong is about three times that of Jiannu. From the recent battles, our casualties were lower than that of Jiannu, and sometimes the casualties of Jiannu were even several times that of ours. From this we can see that the combat effectiveness of the imperial officers and soldiers has completely surpassed that of Jiannu. With such a huge military advantage, just need to fight steadily and advance along the way, Jiannu would not dare to fight with us at all." Lu Xiangsheng analyzed.

"That's right." Zhu Youxiao nodded. If the strategy formulated by Zhu Youxiao before was a plan with a winning rate of more than 90, it was the most secure strategic plan. However, the fighter opportunity seized by Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong and launched a counterattack in advance, it also had a very high winning rate.

If you still lose at such a high winning rate, it is not a problem for the decision-makers.

Recklessness and heroism have never been clearly defined, it only depends on whether there is enough capital to fight. If the country is strong and can make up for the losses after the failure of risk, then the failure of risk can be called a heroic move, but it is not successful. If there is no family foundation to lose, and you have to take risks in a situation against the wind, you will be reckless after failure.

When it comes to capital, Zhu Youxiao had a little capital at this time. Even if the Ming army suffered a setback in the offense, it would not be possible to defeat the enemy in fact, so the risk of launching a counterattack was still affordable.

As for Sun Chengzong's violation of the will, Zhu Youxiao chose to ignore it very sensiblely. It has to be said that although people are born with status, they are definitely not as good as personal. Sometimes they don't think of the title of emperor so absolutely supreme.

Therefore, it is impossible for Sun Chengzong to argue with the orders of the emperor. After all, he would not accept the orders of the outside king. Of course, when this sentence was expressed, it was necessary to comply with certain principles. Sun Chengzong's behavior this time was not too much. He just seized the opportunity to respond flexibly. Even if the counterattack was frustrated, it would be difficult for Zhu Youxiao to attack.

What's more, if you win, it's even more impossible to hold any responsibility.

This victory actually made Zhu Youxiao feel relieved and found that the situation became much more cheerful. Obviously, Jiannu was not scary. As long as Jiannu was not given a chance, they would never be able to ride a horse in the Central Plains.

To achieve this goal, even if the Ming Dynasty really wants to perish, he, the emperor, has made some contributions to the entire nation.

"Send people to the front line to verify military merits and prepare a reward plan." Zhu Youchao ordered Lu Xiangsheng, who bowed and took the order and began to deal with the aftermath. If the front line wins a battle, it is naturally necessary to give a lot of rewards. It is absolutely impossible to be stingy at this time.

After returning from Wuying Palace, Zhu Youxiao asked Yang Guang to inform all the ministers, and held a morning court the next day to discuss the issue of restoring the administrative issues in Liaodong. To be continued.
