384 Bitter Victory (2 in 1)
"Can Duxian be there?"
Wuqing Bo Shiheng did not stay for too long, and ordered his soldiers to come to the front.
"The lower official has met Wu Qing Bo."
Chen Yichen rode his horse to Shi Heng and bowed to him.
"The battle between Du Xian in Chen has brought about the majesty of our Ming Dynasty, which is really admirable!"
Shi Heng bowed and returned the gift, his tone was full of affirmation and emotion.
As a civil servant who was in the third grade, he rushed north to support Liaodong. With more than 30,000 people, he almost led his troops to kill the Mongolian Grand Master Ye first.
The most important thing is that Chen Yichen led the way here, and most generals probably did not have the blood and desperation of his life. In the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, no other literati brought up a three-foot sword, which can be compared with Chen Yichen's move.
If you have to add another one, then only Yu Qian will be there.
"This is my Ming soldiers who are not afraid of death, and their subordinates dare not take credit for me."
Chen Yichen habitually maintained a modest attitude and blamed the soldiers behind him for their contributions.
"Di Shen Xian is too humble, and the battlefield soldiers are very fast. Then Ben Bo will not talk to you here. He has to pursue the Tartars and kill them!"
When he said this, a sharp look appeared on Shi Heng's face. The experience of running alone in Yanghe's battle was the biggest shame he had been in the army for so many years. The ridicule and contempt he had encountered needed to be revenged from the Tartars.
This is why Shi Heng led the leading troops to quickly rescue hundreds of miles. In addition to alleviating the shortcomings of Chen Yichen's lack of military strength, he was also eager to fight with the Grand Master again to see who is the king of the battlefield!
"Then the official will not delay Wu Qingbo's pursuit."
Chen Yichen did not order his soldiers to pursue them together. On the one hand, after experiencing the night war, the soldiers suffered huge casualties and had reached their limits, and they were willing to pursue them but not enough.
On the other hand, after resolving the siege of Liaodong, he has obtained great military achievements, and then taking the pie to pursue the Tartars is a bit too much, which has led to a grudge between him and Bo Shiheng of Wuqing.
Shi Heng is not a generous person, especially when he is successful, he is extremely inflated.
It was not a last resort, Chen Yichen didn't want to offend such a martial artist.
"Okay, wait until Benbette Lai Yesen's head, and then meet Shen Duxian!"
After saying this, Shi Heng led his troops and quickly crossed over Chen Yichen to pursue the retreating Mongolian army.
Just as Shi Heng's front legs left, Cao Yi, the general of Liaodong, came to Chen Yichen, but due to the siege of the Mongolian army, he could not receive news from the court about the appointment of the governor of Liaodong of Chen Yichen.
So when he saw Chen Yichen, he thought the other party was just the Minister of War, so he bowed and said, "Liaodong General Cao Yi, thank the Young Sima for help!"
Cao Yi's tone was full of gratitude at this moment. If Chen Yichen had not appeared behind the Mongolian army at the critical moment, he would have probably been captured by Ningyuan Acropolis at this time, and more than 20,000 soldiers and wounded soldiers in the city would have been difficult for him to survive under the Tartars' butcher knife.
"The same dynasty is an official to guard the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and General Cao's mother needs to thank you."
"In addition, I have an imperial edict here, please ask General Cao to receive the edict!"
Hearing Chen Yichen coming with the imperial edict, Cao Yi and the soldiers behind him hurriedly knelt on one knee to receive the edict.
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: Chen Yichen rushed to Liaodong to help. In order to ensure the smooth military orders of the upper and lower levels, he was determined to fight the Tartars. He was specially appointed as the governor of Liaodong. The officials and generals of the Ministry of War accepted their restraints. I respect this!"
"I have received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The Liaodong general led by Cao Yi shouted long live to receive the order, but he was extremely shocked.
Chen Yichen is not an unknown person in the Ming Dynasty now. His route of promotion is well known to the world. Especially after the Battle of Tumu Fort, he covered his personal army and retreated to the pass, and even became famous among the military generals.
But even so, he was only a young man in his early twenties. He was able to be ranked as the third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of War with his merits and was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, which had already made a great history.
Now serving as the governor of Liaodong, this is actually a first-rank official. In history, only Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji has won this honor. Is it said that his holy book is so terrifying?
After two generations of emperors, he can still become a confidant minister. This ability to turn around in the center of power is really amazing!
"General Cao, get up."
"Yes, I will obey the order!"
Since he is a famous master of the current saint, Cao Yi naturally did not dare to neglect and immediately used the humble title of the last general.
"General Cao must not do this. I am only a third-rank minister, and I can only be called by each other at the same level."
The governor was nominally overwhelmed the general, but Cao Yi still had the title of first-rank governor of the Five Army Governor's Office. The governor was only a reputational title in the Orthodox Dynasty and did not formally determine the rank.
Chen Yichen doesn't want to be high in front of a veteran, and at the same time, his identity and position determines his position, he cannot recognize his low status and low status. It is best to get along at the same level.
"That will be respectful and obey your duty."
Cao Yi did not refuse, as the commander needed absolute prestige and low position to convince his soldiers.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the backbone of the military generals was broken, making them worse than dogs in front of civil servants. How could such a low-key look be seen by the soldiers below, fight bravely with blood?
"General Cao, then we won't waste time. We should quickly clean up the battlefield and place the wounded in order to prevent the Tartars from making a comeback."
There was already a hazy white light in the east, which meant that the sun would rise soon. Chen Yichen knew very well that even with Shi Heng's vanguard troops, his troops were still far behind the Mongolian army.
The reason why the opponent is defeated is more because he has the advantage of night attacks. Once the Taishi stabilizes his position and gathers the defeated troops, he is likely to launch a counterattack.
Anyone can despise the vast rivers and mountains in the north of the desert. Chen Yichen only dares not despise the Grand Master Yesen.
"Yes, Shen Duxian!"
Just as Chen Yichen expected, although the Mongolian army seemed to retreat in a hurry, in fact, after the main force of Sai Wang's army that was returned to the aid, and the Boyan Temur tribe and Amur tribe who had previously scattered on both wings gathered, the chaotic Watshu headquarters immediately stabilized its position.
The chaos of the Mongolian army vividly interprets what a pig teammate is. As long as the Taishi first gives up his wings, he gains stronger combat power without worrying about being dispersed by the "friendly army".
Shi Heng's rescue troops began to be out of the way, chasing and killing many chaotic and single Mongolian cavalry all the way. However, after the army of Washu completed the assembly, and there was already a dawn in the sky, which could see the enemy and us clearly, the offensive was blocked instantly.
The brave battle of Wastu Headquarters also made the runaway Tuotuobuhua Tatars stop their escape and surround the pursuit army of Shiheng from the flank.
The reason is very simple. Monan Mongolia and Liaodong are now the basic Tatar tribe that Tutuobuhua has. In a critical moment, he can preserve his strength and allow the Washu tribe to break the back and fight with Ming arms.
But if it is completely attacked from Liaodong, the ranch and sphere of influence will be reduced by most, and this result is obviously unacceptable.
Based on common interests and being able to find out that the Ming army was not pursuing many troops, Tuotuobuca decisively chose to join forces with the Wastu tribe to fight back, thus causing Shiheng tribe to be attacked from both sides.
"Uncle, we can't chase after you anymore. The many Tartars soldiers and horses have stabilized their positions. If they continue to fight, they will be in danger!"
Shi Biao realized that something was wrong and immediately persuaded Shi Heng, who was eager to fight.
Shi Heng was at the rise of killing at this moment. You should know that there were clear reward standards for killing enemies in the Ming Dynasty, that is, to be brave enough to be the first, to win one thief, or behead one level, and to upgrade the military and civilian officers to the small flag armor of the army to one level.
In other words, for the lower-level soldiers, the condition for upgrading is to kill or capture a Mongolian soldier alive.
Of course, for a great fellow like Shi Heng, it is impossible to be promoted easily. He needs more Mongolian soldiers, and even the most important Tai Shi, who is the first to be a leader, was the head of the Mongolian Khan, who was the Mongolian Khan.
At this time, Shi Heng had gradually tasted the dignity brought by the status of the honor and the prestige brought by the power of the military. In the battle of Tumu Fort, half of the veteran nobles of the honor were destroyed. At this time, he did not beat the dogs to earn military merits and gained military merits. When would he wait?
"So what if there are many soldiers and horses? Who can become Benbo's one-union enemy?"
Shi Heng stood up and stood up, without caring about his nephew's persuasion at all, and still planned to rush towards the direction where Yesen's flag was erected.
Not only Shi Biao spoke out to dissuade him, another confidant subordinate Dong Qin also rode his horse to Shi Heng and reported: "Shi Shuai is not allowed. If we continue to attack, our army will be surrounded by the Tartars!"
Hearing Dong Qin's words, Shi Heng turned around and took advantage of the glimmer of dawn and found that there was indeed a Mongolian flag behind his troops.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Shi Heng was not a reckless person, otherwise he would not have become a famous general in the orthodox dynasty.
The vanguard of the troops he led this time were relying on capturing the defeated Mongolian army's war horses and gathering the remaining cavalry of the capital, and gathering more than 10,000 people to rush over to rescue Liaodong.
Now that the enemy is large and we are few, we are really in a stage of being trapped in a heavy siege, there will be no longer a third reinforcement army in Liaodong to rescue the siege. He asked for guilt and imprisonment, and the lessons of the Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong's capture of the title are there. Shi Heng did not want to be the next sinner who lost his troops and humiliated the country. He should stop when he was about to be fine.
During the withdrawal of Shi Heng's army, Chen Yichen happened to lead his troops into Ningyuan Acropolis. After more than half a month of offensive and defensive battles, the ruins of the entire Ningyuan Acropolis were all stained with a layer of blood.
Almost all the houses in the city were demolished to repair the city walls and keep warm at night. Countless wounded soldiers lacked treatment. They just lay on both sides of the streets, with many covered with snow. I wonder if they are still alive.
Looking at Chen Yichen coming in, the Liaodong defenders in Ningyuan Acropolis turned their eyes to him, their eyes full of anticipation and gratitude.
They already knew that Chen Yichen only led more than 30,000 troops, but last night he launched an attack on the nearly 200,000 troops of the Tartars. Now he can still live to see the rising sun, and he pays all his grace to Chen Duxian for saving his life!
"General Cao, what are the casualties of the Liaodong Army now?"
Chen Yichen asked with a serious expression. With the current medical conditions and cold climate, most of the wounded soldiers here may not survive this winter.
"The Liaodong Army's guards were 46,500 soldiers and horses. They rushed to the capital in the name of Grand Sima, but they encountered the Tartar army led by Yesen halfway. After more than ten days of the battle to defend the city, half of the casualties were killed and half, plus there were no statistics on leaving the city last night."
When he said this, Cao Yi sighed deeply and said, "I'm afraid that the Liaodong Army will not have one."
Hearing the number "three does not exist one", Chen Yichen also took a breath. You should know that due to its special importance, the Liaodong Dushi needed to suppress and intimidate the forces of Mongolia, Jurchen, North Korea and even Japanese pirates. At its peak, the garrison troops reached more than 80,000.
As a result, after several wars, even if the thousands of Liaodong soldiers led by Li Da were added, the total number of people was only 20,000.
Nuer Gandusi has already died in name only, and Liaodong will be in danger in the future.
After this battle, it is hard to say who is the real winner.
"Li Zan immediately led people back to the ship and transported herbs and cold clothes. In addition, Xu Fengyuan was notified to purchase supplies from Shandong at all costs to help Liaodong. This official would not allow any soldier to die without sacrificing on the battlefield, but died of injuries and bitter cold!"
Chen Yichen was vigilant about the Little Ice Age of the Ming Dynasty. This time, the fleet of Daming Treasure Ship rushing to assist Liaodong was carrying troops. In addition, Xu Fengyuan's subsequent Fujian civilian ships and Shandong guard ships were all used to carry materials to aid.
In a sense, this is the advantage of the foundation brought by the peak period of the Ming Dynasty. Even if it encounters a disastrous defeat like the Tumu Fort, the capital and even the northern Zhili are still sufficient. The short-term shortage is more caused by insufficient transportation capacity, rather than the real lack of anything.
If the end of the Ming Dynasty was in the late Ming Dynasty, the granaries were transported everywhere, Chen Yichen could do nothing if he wanted to do this.
Chen Yichen's loud and loud words made many of the Liaodong defenders who followed him and the Liaodong wounded soldiers who surrounded him far away, and were moved to tears after hearing this.
"Duxian Chen's grace to save his life, I dare not forget it in this life!"
"I thank Duxian Chen!"
"When my injury is cured, I will repay Chen Duxian with a few Tartars' heads!"
"Duxian Chen is the Bodhisattva of the Rebirth!"
Compared with the hope of rekindling Liaodong, the capital was now in a strange atmosphere and did not have much post-war celebration.
The reason is that the main force of the Southern Expedition Army was led by Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, and returned to Beijing. However, this army did not become loyal to Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu as imagined. Instead, it united the left censor Wang Wen, the right censor Yang Shan, and some ministers of the cabinet to submit memorials to take the opportunity to welcome the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen.
Among the ministers of the cabinet who submitted memorials, there are the names of the highest-ranking Minister of Personnel, Wang Zhi, and Chen Xun, the chief minister of the cabinet!
These ministers submitted memorials not only to the loyalty to the Ming Yingzong Zhu Qiyu, but also to support the empress dowager and usurp the restoration. It was more dependent on the dignity and face of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom. How could the dignified Supreme Emperor really not return to the north outside the Great Wall?
Zhu Qiyu was the biggest humiliation of the Ming Dynasty in the hands of the Mongolians for one day!
