Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is March.

According to the regulations submitted by the Ministry of War to the Emperor, the Ming Dynasty conquered Liaodong in this month.

In the end, Zhu Youlang agreed to the plan.

That is, the plan of water and land.

Generals such as Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, Zhao Xu led a large army out of Shanhaiguan, and Zheng Chenggong and his son led the navy north to Juehua Island to support Qihe He Shouyi.

The advancement of water and land in parallel is extremely oppressive to Liaodong.

Zhu Youlang hopes to recover Liaodong within half a year, and he cannot delay this year at the latest.

On the day the army set out, Zhu Youlang personally came to the outer city to see the soldiers off.

This time, the main force of the Ming army had 150,000 people, which could be said to have gathered all the elite troops.

Zhu Youlang is still very pleased about this.

I hope they can defeat the enemy in one battle and restore their hometown.

...

...

As the commander of the land army, Li Dingguo is under a lot of pressure.

It concerns the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he has to be very cautious.

The army left the capital and came all the way to Shanhaiguan.

Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others were crying when they saw Shanhaiguan.

More than ten years ago, they were defeated here by the Qing army, thus losing their winning power.

More than ten years later, they killed them again, but this time, Jiangshan did not have the surname Li but also the surname Zhu.

Of course, these are not important at the moment. They just want to live a peaceful and stable life and be ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

It’s just that when I returned to Shanhaiguan, I suddenly felt a lot of emotion.

The Battle of Shanhaiguan is really a turning point in the lives of countless people. Isn’t this the case for the Dashun Army and the Zhu Ming court the same?

After that, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty changed one after another like a lantern.

If it weren't for the fact that Zi had come to power and turned the tide today, I wouldn't know if I could see the hometown of the capital.

Of course, now everything is getting better.

All they have to do is make it all icing on the cake.

Unlike during the Chongzhen period, the Ming army now has almost no strongholds in Liaodong, except Juehua Island.

But Juehua Island is just an island after all.

If the Ming army wants to gain a foothold in Liaodong, it must win a major city.

Ning Yuan was the first to be involved.

Generals such as Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, Zhao Xu and others agreed on this.

There is no need to make so many fancy things, just push them over.

Although Ningyuan City is known as a strong city, it is relatively speaking.

They can even take down the capital, and it is definitely no problem to have a mere Ningyuan City.

Of course, they didn't use blind optimism.

The arrangement process that should be done must be followed.

Otherwise, if the boat capsizes in the gutter, others will laugh out loud.

The General of Shanhaiguan is now Li Shitou.

As a former deputy general of the Hu Ben Army, he was naturally flattered.

After reunited with Zhao Xu, the two of them got together.

But the time of gathering was short after all, and after a short stay, the army that conquered Liaodong left the pass.

Zhao Xu has to separate from Li Shitou again.

There is no way, Li Shitou's current position is the General of Shanhaiguan, and it is his responsibility to guard Shanhaiguan.

Li Shitou had no choice but to put all his hope of going into battle to kill the enemy on Zhao Xu, hoping that this old brother could kill all directions in Liaodong instead and gain enough face for the Hu Ben Army for the Emperor.

As for the others, let it go naturally.

Personal fame and fortune are as simple as a feather, it’s better not to mention it.

As long as Liaodong can be restored, the Ming Dynasty can be revived, and His Majesty can smile happily.

…

…

After leaving Shanhaiguan, the climate became much colder.

The more you go north, the more obvious this feeling is.

However, the Ming army was prepared for a long time and could handle the weather like this with thick clothes.

Li Dingguo's primary goal is Ningyuan.

But in the process of attacking Ningyuan, all the forts must be taken down.

This is all natural.

What really worried Li Dingguo was the maintenance of relations between the armies of various units.

Although he was the commander of the army, except for the direct descendants of the Western Army, other departments could basically not directly order the orders, and could only go through generals such as Li Laiheng and Zhao Xu indirectly.

If you keep winning battles, it would be easy to say.

Once a battle against the wind is fought, the situation will be very unoptimistic.

After all, everyone has their own ideas, and victory can cover up many problems. But once the wind is against the wind, various problems will arise.

"Your Highness King Jin, Changdian Fort is fifty miles ahead."

As the first step on the road to conquer Liaodong, Changdian Fort was the first stop they had to fight.

"Well, send the scouts to inquire about the news first. Let's make a decision after finding out the situation."

Li Dingguo has never fought unprepared battles.

He must do a steady job and not leave any hidden dangers to himself.

"I will arrange this after all."

…

…

The owner of Changdian Fortress is named Sun Bilian.

As a general Ebilong's servant, he has been promoted very quickly in the past two years.

I originally thought that I could enjoy wealth and prosperity, but in the second half of my life, who would have thought that the Qing army would be defeated and fled outside the pass in a hurry.

When the army arrived in Liaodong, Sun Bilian came back and realized that he could no longer continue to be indulged in silence.

The Ming army will definitely not give up when it regained the pass, and will sooner or later leave Shanhaiguan to continue the battle.

If you can't prepare in advance, you will probably have a crushing defeat.

When they are in the pass, they at least have a way out.

But this retreat outside the pass was blocked.

So there is only one who fights to the death.

General Ebilong was sent to Ningyuan City by the Empress Dowager, and Sun Bilian, as his confidant, came to Changdian Fort for garrison.

As the outpost of Ningyuan City, Changdian Fort will be the first to know when there is any disturbance.

Sun Bilian also made up his mind to perform well and win credit for his achievements.

Today, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Bilian believed that as long as they lie on firewood and taste gall for more than ten years, they could one day return to their former state and fight back to the pass again.

"General, something is wrong, the Ming thief is coming."

On this day, Sun Bilian was gnawing on the naan bread himself, and the sentry trotted to him and reported in a deep voice.

"Well? The Ming thief is here to kill him?"

Although he knew that there would be such a day sooner or later, Sun Bilian did not expect the Ming army to come so quickly.

"How many people have they come and where have they been?"

"Looking at the crowded posture, there are more than 100,000. It should be only a dozen miles away from the fort."
