Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Now being restrained by Houjin, it is still difficult for him to resist the main force of Daheng. Once all the troops are assembled...

As thoughts flowed, Lin Dan's sweaty face was so gloomy that it was about to drip.

But if he was asked to retreat, he was unwilling to do so. After so many setbacks and the loss of tens of thousands of troops, he withdrew back in dismay before even breaking through the border of Datong...

"Send elite scouts to Yanghe to watch, Ben Khan must know his movements on behalf of Shan at any time!"

In the end, Lin Danhan just uttered such a sentence in a deep voice, and immediately signaled the generals to retreat.

"As ordered!"

The generals were not reconciled, but they didn't dare to say any more, so they retreated one after another, leaving Lin Danhan alone in the tent, staring at the map of military situation, silent for a long time.

……

"Not withdrawing yet..."

At this moment, in the Daheng Army, in the tent of the Son of Heaven, Li Xiu watched the chaotic, but extremely orderly map of the military situation, but couldn't help murmuring softly.

The conditions for the decisive battle are met, and the decisive battle has already begun. If the development continues according to the normal process, it will inevitably go through bloody battles to accumulate chances of victory, and finally reverse the outcome of the war.

In this way, it will inevitably take a long time.

And now, what he lacks the most is time.

Changes happen over time!

Whether it is the provinces he has deployed to garrison the guards, or the war that has been fought for several months, or the already overwhelmed finances, they cannot stand the consumption of time.

Therefore, he needs a fighter that can completely reverse the outcome, to quickly end this protracted war!

And this fighter, with the sudden victory in Shanhaiguan, has already emerged.

You can not have it both ways!

This war was doomed from the very beginning. Even if he wins and Daheng wins, it will be absolutely difficult to wipe out all the post-Mongol gold and completely pacify the northern frontier.

So, then, he must choose a primary and a secondary.

At first, he chose Mongolia, of course.

After all, Liao Town was still there at the beginning, even if it won the battle against Hou Jin, it would be difficult to hurt Hou Jin's roots. Besides, Mongolia is the main direction of attack.

But now, this primary and secondary distinction is not necessarily the case.

It was difficult to make a breakthrough in the battle situation, and in addition, he deliberately ordered to intercept Houjin's return reinforcements, so that Houjin's old nest Liaodong was in critical condition, Houjin might start to slip away at any time.

In this way, the primary enemy is naturally Mongolia.

However, Lin Danhan is cautious, an old fox through and through, who has always been a dead friend and a poor Taoist. It is impossible for him to see clearly such a situation, maybe it is not impossible to just leave Hou Jin Kailiu behind.

This is the key to a complete reversal of the war situation.

It depends on Mongolia, Hou Jin, and the main forces of the two countries, who will start to slip first.

Whoever slips, let him go!

Then gather the main force to encircle and annihilate those who have not had time to slip!

Is it Mongolia?Or Houjin?

He doesn't know now.

But he knew that this prelude would appear sooner or later.

Although Hou Jin forcibly sent back a support soldier, it was only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. In Liaodong, there were nearly [-] soldiers and horses in Shanhai Town. As well as many guards in Beizhili, Daheng has nearly [-] troops in Liaodong.

There are [-] to [-] iron cavalry in the Houjin District, and it is very good to return to the teacher to support and protect themselves.

Therefore, the situation in Liaodong will only become more and more critical, and Hou Jin will become more and more impatient, and the possibility of slipping will become greater and greater.

And Lin Danhan will be more and more worried that Hou Jin will leave him and go on the run...

So, it depends on Daishan, Lin Danhan, who can't sit still first...

Chapter 421 One Month

"Go in!"

"All attack me!"

"Your Majesty has a decree, the vanguard who breaks the stronghold will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and be promoted to two ranks!"

"Kill! Brothers, glory and wealth are here to fight!"

On the vast grassland, on the battlefield stretching for more than a hundred miles, the Mongolian right-wing army seemed to be torn open at this moment.

The soldiers of Daheng, who were like springs, went forward one after another, and along this opening, erosion bit by bit has torn apart the tortoise shell defense system carefully constructed by Lin Danhan.

"Yuqianying, come forward with me!"

Li Xiu rode his horse and moved, and his will followed.

"Your Majesty, just let the last general bring someone up..."

The commander of the Imperial Battalion immediately advised him, but he only spoke half of his words. Under Li Xiu's gaze, he subconsciously suppressed the words that came to his lips.

"Within an hour, cut off the [-] households on the right wing of the encircled Mongolia and annihilate them!"

Li Xiuzhi's voice was extremely firm.

Since he is still unwilling to make a choice, he will force Lin Danhan to make a choice!

If you break Lin Danhan's arm again, he won't believe it, Lin Danhan can still sit still!

A military order was issued, and the emperor's banner moved slowly. From the central army to the front of the formation, the soldiers of the imperial battalion followed suit.

"kill!"

After the emperor's banner moved forward, the morale of the soldiers rushing forward to fight was also greatly shaken. The generals at all levels roared and shouted, leading all the troops to charge away.

Li Xiu watched the fight indifferently, waiting for the result he wanted to appear.

In the end, he was not disappointed.

In less than half an hour, deafening cheers resounded through the sky.

Dazhai was completely destroyed, and the tortoise shell carefully crafted by Lin Danhan was finally torn apart!

Seeing this, Li Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief. It has been more than ten days since the start of the decisive battle, and the breakthrough has finally been opened!

With a breakthrough, he can use it to stir up the entire battle situation, so as to achieve his desired goal...

"Pass down the order, Yongwei, the Jinwu two guards, the Habayashi four guards, and the Tengxiang two guards move to the Mongolian right wing. In this battle, Lin Danhan will lose another arm!"

……

"Khan, retreat! If you don't retreat, it will be too late!"

"That's right, the three lords of ten thousand households on the right wing have already been surrounded. If this continues, at the beginning..."

With the changing situation of the battle, the already oppressive and dignified atmosphere in the Mongolian tent became even more gloomy.

All the generals warned one after another, wanting to get rid of the countless casualties, but they couldn't see the slightest result of the battle, let alone the future battlefield.

"okay!"

Lin Danhan scowled with a gloomy face, but in the end, in the expectant eyes of the generals, he still said: "Send someone to meet the Emperor Daheng, and say that as long as Daheng promises to reward silver, grain and grass, open the mutual market!" , and release the encircled Mongolian right-wing three thousand households, our Mongolian troops will withdraw!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Danhan's face became even more gloomy, and the generals did not dare to say any more, and they all retreated.

……

"Trading market? Rewarding silver? Release your right-wing army?"

In the big tent of the Son of Heaven, when he heard the request from the Mongolian envoy, Li Xiu almost laughed angrily.

Is this a fake makeup?

"roll!"

Without saying a word, Li Xiu gave a cold drink, and the generals standing on both sides immediately stepped forward, staring coldly at the Mongolian envoys standing in the tent.

Seeing this, the two Mongolian envoys did not dare to say a word, they bowed their hands to Li Xiu, and then withdrew from the tent.

Li Xiu silently watched the backs of the two envoys, his eyes flickering.

He wants to force Mongolia to withdraw its troops, but it does not mean that he has to ask Mongolia to withdraw its troops.

If he doesn't withdraw, Houjin will withdraw sooner or later!

It's nothing more than a question of who to hit!

Moreover, being able to send envoys here has already proved that Lin Danhan's mentality has changed...

In this case, the tougher he is, the more guilty Lin Danhan, and even the leaders and generals of the Mongolian ministries, will be.

After a while, Li Xiu said slowly: "Deploy the artillery battalions from all the ministries and order them to encircle the ministries. After an hour, launch a general attack."

"The end will follow the order!"

The generals in the tent took orders and retired one after another.

Li Xiu got up slowly, looked around at the military situation map where the situation was good, his brows were tightly frowned, before he had time to relax, when he inadvertently fell down and finally walked to the table, his brows were furrowed again.

From ancient times to the present, wars have always been about national power!

And the Ming Dynasty, which was established after the mess of the Ming Dynasty, has experienced such internal and external troubles, and even has no national strength at all.

It is true that there are millions of strong troops, shocking the world, but the ridiculous thing is that Daheng doesn't have the national power to drive these million strong troops.

Now in this war that has spread to the entire northern border, Liaodong has mobilized nearly 12 battle-ready soldiers, Jizhen Gubeikou has nearly [-] cavalry, Yanghe has gathered nearly [-] troops, and the main force led by him in Datong is as many as [-]. There are also two cavalry troops who entered the enemy alone, with a total strength of nearly [-] troops. Jiangnan Yanshun led an army of more than [-] troops to guard the important areas along the Jiangnan River, fighting fiercely with the rebels from all over the Jiangnan, plus the army of the guards who have not been mobilized.

Almost the whole of Daheng, with millions of troops, is moving in this internal and external troubles. Even if the self-sufficient guards garrisoned in various places are excluded, the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops will have to mobilize nearly a million civilians just for logistics and transportation.

In this way, every day the war lasts, the money and food consumed is an astronomical figure!

Not to mention, there are salaries, rewards, and pensions for soldiers who died in battle!

If it is said to be financially bankrupt, it has been financially bankrupt since the day Daheng was founded.

Relying on the plundered wealth by force, to barely prop up the crumbling Daheng national fortune.

As his thoughts flowed, Li Xiu picked up one of the memorials, which was different from the system format of the previous memorials. This one was a complete ledger record, which recorded in detail the income and expenditure of the current Daheng treasury.

In the end, a conclusion was also clearly listed at the end of the playbook.

"I believe that if this war ends within one month, the treasury will still have enough money and food to maintain the post-war rewards and pensions, and the court will continue until the autumn harvest. If it exceeds one month, the post-war rewards will be difficult to maintain..."

"If this battle continues, after two and a half months, there will be no more grains in the treasury... Your Majesty, please take this opportunity to end this war quickly."

"The Great Heng Army is mighty and prosperous. We only need to wait for the national power to recover. In the future, it will be easy for the army to go north, and the iron cavalry will break through the grassland. Please don't be in a hurry..."

Every word came into view, Li Xiu's brows became more and more furrowed, and his thoughts became more and more confused.

After a long time, he slowly put down the notebook, stroked his forehead, and let out a long breath.

"One month..."

Thinking about the current battle situation, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

Just a month, to end this war...

too difficult too difficult...

……

422 The octopus dies, but the net does not necessarily break

"kill!"

"Imperial Battalion, charge!"

The fierce battle was still going on, and Daheng's offensive, in the past few days, suddenly became more and more turbulent.

Attack across the board!

In the sky, there was thick gunpowder smoke, countless shells and arrow clusters pierced the sky, and finally fell into the Mongolian camp rumbling, causing countless bloodshed.

On the ground, there are infantry formations as majestic as mountains, surrounding the three thousand households on the right wing of Mongolia.

The huge cavalry corps wandered outside this stretching battlefield, with their muskets loaded and swords unsheathed, like a sharp sword off the string, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

Before the Daheng Emperor came to the battle, he beat the drums to cheer, and the decree had been issued. Within three days, [-] Mongolian right-wing households would be wiped out.

This battlefield stretching for hundreds of miles, another large-scale offensive, started again.

"Khan, hurry up and send troops to support!"
