Chapter 1645 Attack on the Western Front

"Phoenix City was attacked?" When Duduo received the news from the Eastern Front in Tokyo City, he suddenly had a headache.

After many years of governance by the "Qing Dynasty", Liaodong was largely deserted, not only for the people's livelihood but also for the poor.

Although this was a bit embarrassing for the "Qing Dynasty", when the rebel army invaded Liaodong, it happened to have the effect of strengthening the wall and clearing the country.

Because of this, the rebels had difficulty raising food and grass locally and had to rely on water and land for supplies from within the pass.

Therefore, the number of rebels sent in was limited, which was the fundamental reason why the entire Liaodong war situation could not be sustained for a long time.

Originally, Duduo thought that the rebels were at the end of their strength. As long as he made good use of this winter and caused enough casualties to the rebels, he could make the rebels retreat without a fight.

Who would have thought that this winter was not over yet, and the rebel troops would come from the direction of Dongjiang again.

"How many troops are there? Are they Dongjiang soldiers or Korean soldiers?" Prince Lilie Daishan asked quickly after hearing this.

"This... is suspected to be Dongjiang soldiers and horses. Judging from the direction of their flags, there are probably more than 10,000 people." Lai Envoy reported.

"More than 10,000 people?" Duduo and Daishan looked at each other and suddenly felt that it was extremely difficult.

More than 10,000 people say it is too much or too little, which is exactly the key point where Hou Jin feels uncomfortable.

If there are three to five thousand people, he only needs to detach a cavalry to defeat them, and then turn back. I don't think Zhang Sanbai in Liaoyang City can do anything.

If there are 30,000 to 50,000 people, it will only take a while to wait until their food and grass are exhausted, and they will naturally return without success.

But ten thousand soldiers and horses are different. The rebel family has a big business, and if they are squeezed casually, the food and grass can still support it.

But if Hou Jin wanted to defeat these 10,000 troops in a short time, I am afraid that Duduo's entire army would have to be dispatched.

If Duduo's entire army was dispatched, wouldn't it mean that Zhang Sanbai was released?

This guy is a man who doesn't show mercy when he gains power. If Hou Jin dares to let go, will he dare to stab their Shenyang City in Shengjing?

Nowadays, people in the Houjin Kingdom are in panic all the time. Once Zhang Sanbai leads the main force to Shenyang City in Shengjing, no one can say what will happen!

At this time, Duduo and Daishan were stumped.

How to do how to do?

"Hey, I got it!" The two of them thought about it for a long time, then Nadaishan said with a slap on his hand.

"How?" Duduo asked quickly.

"Your Majesty immediately issued an order to the guard general Wang Yuanzhong, telling him to defend for half a month, and the army will definitely arrive..." Dai Shan said with a smile.

"This...how can this be done?" Duduo couldn't help but asked dumbfounded.

You've been thinking about relationships for a long time and this is what you came up with?

"It doesn't matter if we can't do it. Why don't we wait for another half month?" Dai Shanyin said with a smile.

"When the time comes, the two sides will be furious. He wants to surrender, but he is afraid there will be no place to surrender!"

"It has to be you..." Duduo suddenly realized when he heard this. He couldn't help but reached out and pointed at Daishan and said with a smile, "Old and cunning!"

"What, this is not to let them Han people kill Han people, so we can save our own lives!" Dai Shan said with a smile.

"Okay, this time I will do what Prince Lilie wants!" Duduo made the final decision, and with a stroke of his pen, he wrote an imperial edict and sent it to Phoenix City at great speed.

When Wang Yuanzhong, the defender of Phoenix City, received Duduo's imperial edict, he burst into tears of gratitude. He bowed to the west and said, "Your Majesty has treated me with great kindness. How dare you die if you don't obey?"

Then they collected all the soldiers from the forts and entered Phoenix City to test their stubborn resistance to the end.

Seeing his stubbornness, Li Dingguo couldn't help but sneered: "Mountain city? I'm going to fight the mountain city!"

"Bring me Fei Biaogun and let him taste the power of explosive bullets!"

It turned out that before Li Dingguo went to sea, he thought that the west of North Korea was mountainous, and field artillery and golden cannon might not be effective, so he applied for three flying guns from Zhang Shun.

This flying blunderbuss is different from field artillery and golden cannon. It is specially designed to shoot explosive shells directly and is used to attack dangerous places.

Sure enough, when Fei Biaoqiang arrived, the defenders who had been hiding behind the city wall were beaten until they cried for their fathers and mothers.

It's just that because the Phoenix City's defense system is relatively complicated, it won't be easy to conquer in a short while.

But if Wang Yuanzhong can no longer find a countermeasure, I am afraid that the city will fall sooner or later.

Not to mention how Li Dingguo led Shen Shikui and others to attack Phoenix City, but Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi chose two maids first. After staying in the capital for two days, they left the capital and went all the way to Guangning.

When I arrived in Guangning, I saw General Lu Xiangsheng and Deputy Commander Yang Guozhu here. They quickly arranged to be stationed and went to see them.

"Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, I'm looking forward to bringing you two guards here!" As soon as the two of them saw Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but welcomed them loudly.

The two of them were not acquainted with Lu Xiangsheng, so seeing Lu Xiangsheng's enthusiasm made them feel embarrassed.

After the four people sat down respectively and exchanged polite greetings, Lu Xiangsheng continued: "According to His Highness's plan, prepare to attack Donglu from both east and west!"

"Calculating the time now, it's almost time. Another group of troops should have launched an attack as scheduled, and we must take action!"

"I am willing to listen to General Lu's orders!" Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi had nothing to say and immediately expressed their stance.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that there were no problems with the two people, so he continued: "To go from Guangning to Shenyang, we have to detour through Haizhou and Liaoyang, a distance of 420 miles."

"It's just that General Zhang is confronting the Tatar chieftain in Liaoyang now. I won't take it!"

"Other than that, there are two other routes. One bypasses the west and north of Liaoze, reaches the Juliu River, and then crosses the Liao River to the east to threaten Shenyang."

"The other one takes the old place of Tumut's left wing to the north, reaches the foot of Durbi Mountain, and then turns eastward to join the Juliu River!"

"The former is a relatively short road, only 340 miles away. The latter is far away, almost 400 miles away."

"However, the former is a new path created by the Tatars, and there must be someone to guard it, while the latter... the latter was sacrificed by His Highness... in exchange for sacrificing color..."

"Phew!" As soon as Lu Xiangsheng said this, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes...I'm sorry, we don't usually laugh unless...unless we can't help it..."

"Hehe!" Lu Xiangsheng saw them smiling, but he didn't even notice it. He smiled and then said seriously, "What do you two think?"

"This... what is our goal? To conquer Shenyang City? Or to lure Duduo to fight?" After hearing this, Liu Wenxiu hesitated and asked.

"Is there any difference?" Lu Xiangsheng asked strangely.

"Yes, the former must carry cannons, while the latter...the latter only needs to carry field guns!" Liu Wenxiu reminded.

"This...that's true!" Lu Xiangsheng nodded after hearing this and thought for a moment.

"In this way, we will divide our troops into two groups. One group will go straight to the Juliu River, while the other group will carry grain, grass and artillery and move forward behind!"

"Sure!" Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and then nodded solemnly.
