Chapter 848 Change of Mentality (Third)

In the new golden ruined city, an army came in the afternoon.In fact, it can't be regarded as an army. Except for a small number of people, most of them are like beggars, or even worse than beggars. They are all hungry and tired, and they use their knives and guns as crutches. The city wall can no longer move.

Seeing this situation, Duoduo was also very helpless.He still has to rely on these North Korean officers and soldiers to dig soil and repair the wall, and it is impossible to order them to death on the road.Therefore, they had to rest temporarily in Xinjin, and at the same time sent scouts to guard Jinzhou and send messengers to Shenyang, saying that they had arrived in Jinzhou and needed Shenyang to send troops to besiege Jinzhou together.

However, only in the evening, one of the people sent to Shenyang rushed back.

At this time, Duoduo was still at a slightly better big house, watching the North Koreans renovate there, and planned to spend the night here at night.When the messenger found him, he panicked and reported the news he had heard on the way.

In ancient times, news spread, if it was not first-hand news, would often be distorted by those who spread the news in the middle.Even if someone said they saw a chicken with a long tail, it would be said that they saw a phoenix later.

The news of the fall of Haizhou was exaggerated by the panicked Jianlu. When Duoduo heard it, it was the Ming army that descended from the sky.As soon as the Ming army arrived, Haizhou fell.Today, Anshan Yibao is in danger, and Liaoyang is in danger.There is also news that after the Ming army occupied Haizhou, the troops went out to the east and were attacking Fuzhou, and they were preparing to join Jinzhou.

Regardless of the rumors, there is one basic thing in common, that is, Haizhou has fallen in a short period of time.

Duoduo was shocked when he heard that, the past of being stabbed by the Ming army had already been buried in his heart, but it was revealed again in the course of his work.He remembered that it was fine, but suddenly, there was an extra powerful Ming army, and they were lying in ambush, waiting for him to enter the urn and launch an attack.At that time, the scene of the artillery roaring and the blood and flesh flying all over his hands appeared in his memory again.By analogy, it is not surprising that there is another powerful Ming army in Haizhou.

At this moment, he was afraid.Because he understood that in the army he brought this time, the North Korean officers and soldiers had no combat power at all. If he alone brought more than 1000 Qing troops, he would definitely not be an opponent of the Ming army.

He hastily ordered that a large number of scouts be dispatched to guard in all directions.At the same time, he was also a little undecided, what should he do next?
A person like Dodo, who was rampant when he was young and ambitious, abused his opponents, and killed countless people. If he can go on smoothly, he will probably develop a set of fighting skills from his experience, and he can lead the army alone to fight the sky; Most people, often after experiencing major setbacks, will be devastated.Unless he regains his confidence with victory.

Regrettably, the battle at Jinpu Town had almost wiped out his entire army. The example of him fleeing in embarrassment and escaping his life by chance was engraved in his bones.Originally Dorgon's enlightenment, I thought I had forgotten it, and had already come out of it.But today, when he heard the rumors about Haizhou, he was beaten back to his original form.So much so that he forgot that there were North Koreans building houses at the scene, and he forgot to block the news that would disturb the morale of the army.

Before the definite news came back, on the next morning, Duoduo suddenly discovered that more than half of the officers and soldiers he brought from North Korea had escaped.Even the more than 1000 Qing troops were in constant panic, fearing that the Ming army's magical soldiers would suddenly appear in this dilapidated Xinjin.

So Duduo ran away, taking more than 1000 of his people with him. He forgot about the siege of Jinzhou and the redemption. Now he feels that the North Korean side is safe.

However, when some North Koreans fled to Jinzhou and surrendered, Daming learned about the Jianlu from North Korea and ran over.Just with about [-] Jian captives and insufficient food and grass, they dared to besiege Jinzhou on this basis.The generals of the Dongjiang Army, who had been holding back for a whole winter, challenged the governor of Denglai one after another.

With Wei Mulan by his side, Lu Xiangsheng naturally knew that Jianlu had already neglected the other, and hadn't reacted in time to the fact that Haizhou was taken back by Daming, so how could he send troops to besiege Jinzhou.Therefore, without any worries, he immediately ordered [-] cavalry troops, let Mao Chengzuo and Huang Degong lead the troops, and went to Xinjin to meet Duoduo's army for a while.

The number of people is smaller than that of Jianlu, and they have to go out to fight in the field. This is almost unimaginable if it is changed to before.However, at this time, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army took it for granted.After more than a year of victories, the soldiers of the Ming army have gained a psychological advantage and are no longer afraid of the Manchus.On the contrary, Jianlu suffered successive defeats, and the psychological advantages they had accumulated before were unconsciously lost.

For this point, Lu Xiangsheng, who watched the hussar battalion go away from the top of the city, felt deeply.For, he is very pleased.In this war, the most important thing is people and morale.He has enough reasons to believe that the Ming army will become stronger and more victorious against the Shangjian captives.Therefore, this potential has been dispatched by the emperor, and it took a year to create it.

When he learned that Doduo from Xinjin had fled back to North Korea with his troops, he couldn't help being very excited. After looking at the map of Liaodong, he immediately told Wei Mulan next to him: "Sing to Your Majesty, just say Fuzhou Jianlu I have become a lone army, for my Haizhou, Gaizhou army and Dongjiang army are surrounded, I can send troops to eat it. This officer is fully confident in this battle, please allow your majesty."

Wei Mulan was very happy to hear that, as Daming continued to recover the lost cities, it might not take a few years for the entire Liaodong to be recovered.

Thinking of this, she immediately responded and entered the chat group to report to the emperor.

What they didn't expect was that after Emperor Chongzhen saw the private chat asking for a fight, he finally refused.

"Why?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't figure it out, and immediately asked, he was fully sure that he could win!

Wei Mulan looked at Lu Xiangsheng and replied: "Your Majesty said that the recovery of Liaodong is not about the gains and losses of one city and one place, so what about taking Fuzhou? The imperial court is not ready yet, and the forces of Liaodong must be concentrated and cannot be scattered around. go!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly remembered the sixteen-character art of war taught to him by Emperor Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty also said that at present, our food and supplies are not enough to support continuous wars. It is not difficult to win Fuzhou along the coast. The focus now is to hoard enough troops in Haizhou to put enough pressure on Jianlu That's the point."
