With Li Gousheng's guidance, Liu Xingming was very smooth when he went to Heshan Fort.

Heshan Fort is the largest guardhouse from Ningyuan City.

It would be the best if you could win this fort. If you can't, Liu Xingming would definitely be upset here.

When he arrived at the periphery of Heshan Fort, Liu Xingming discovered a river valley.

Although this valley has no water system, it is a good natural bunker.

If the army is ambushed here, no one will be able to discover it if it is deliberately investigated.

Liu Xingming immediately became thoughtful.

If he could do some articles here, it might have an unexpected effect.

"His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be proud of me."

Liu Xingming said in his heart.

...

...

Having arrived in Heshan Fort for several days, Soltu has basically figured out the situation in the fort.

I have to say that Ebilong is really a cunning old fox, but he never expected that an insider would sell him.

Another thing that Soltu has to do if he wants to realize his plan is the Ming army.

Only when the Ming army arrives can his plan be implemented.

Of course, he believed that Ming Jun would definitely come, it was nothing more than a matter of time.

When the Ming army arrived, Soltu fanned and ignited the fire next to him, and all the problems were solved.

These days Soltu has no time to think about other things, and his mind is full of rushing to the woman.

He brought a lot of maids from Shenyang, and he was not tired of changing one of them a day.

The conditions in Heshan Fort are a little worse, but at least they don’t have to worry about food and clothing. In this way, Soltu naturally cannot miss such a great opportunity.

You must be happy when you are in a happy life, don’t let the golden cup empty to the moon. What the Han people said is still very reasonable.

Enjoying the present is what Soltu wants to do most now.

...

...

The advancement speed of the Ming army led by Li Dingguo was much faster than expected.

Even Li Dingguo was worried that Liu Xingming would not be able to complete the task before the army arrived.

Li Laiheng promised him several times, and Li Dingguo could only barely feel relieved.

The road faces the sky, each side is in charge.

Since he chose Liu Xingming, he must give him sufficient trust.

Otherwise, the soldiers would be disappointed.

"Your Highness of the King of Jin, the battle of Ningyuan seems inevitable. Even if Xingming successfully stirs up the Qing army, it is impossible to take Ningyuan directly. I think it is better to notify Juehua Island as soon as possible and ask them to prepare for the battle."

It’s not that Li Laiheng doesn’t trust Liu Xingming, but that he feels that based on the current situation, what Liu Xingming can do is really limited.

It’s impossible that he burned Ningyuan City with a torch, right?

Frontal attack is the bottom line.

"Well, I also think that I should notify Juehua Island as soon as possible. After all, it is the closest place to Ningyuan City."

Li Dingguo nodded slightly to agree.

"Actually, I always think that General Yu and General He are two extremely excellent generals. I used to think that they were useless to go to Juehua Island. Now it seems that Your Majesty is really wise and martial, and he is as good as a god. If they were not here, I wouldn't feel at ease."

The significance of Juehua Island is that it can threaten the Qing army in Ningyuan City at all times, making them unable to sleep well.

Take the current situation as an example. The Qing army in Ningyuan City must divide a part of it to deal with the Ming army on Juehua Island. In this way, the troops will be dispersed.

This effect of restraint cannot be replaced by any means. Even Liu Xingming cannot be replaced.

"Send someone to Juehua Island and tell General Yu and General He that the navy of King Zhong is about to arrive."

...

...

In the vast sea, Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck in a daze.

This is his fifth day on the sea.

Although he is still a long way from Juehua Island, his heart has actually flown to Juehua Island.

It seems that he is more suitable for naval battles.

Although you can fight in land battles, you always feel that you are not very excited.

Back at sea, everything is fine.

Zheng Chenggong knew very well that Liaodong was a knot in his mind. Whoever could solve this chastity would be appreciated and valued by His Majesty.

If you want to win Liaodong, the battle in Ningyuan is the most critical.

As the first battle for the Ming army to return to Liaodong, whether the battle of Ningyuan can show momentum determines whether the Qing army will be defeated with confidence.

After all, they could not defeat the Ming army in the Central Plains and comfort themselves because they were not suitable for the local environment.

If they can't win when they return to Liaodong, it will be difficult to find a reason.

Judging from all the signs, the Qing army would definitely hoard heavy troops in Ningyuan because they didn't want to lose this battle.

But the Ming army could not lose either. Therefore, while Li Dingguo was leading the land army, His Majesty the Emperor sent Zheng Chenggong to lead the navy to attack Juehua Island.

Advances along with water and land, with more than 200,000 troops, this force alone sounds scary.

Zheng Chenggong knew very well that the Qing army navy had very little left after the Battle of Denglai, and was completely defeated.

What he has to do now is to try to block the Qing army's sea retreat as much as possible.

In this way, after Ning Yuan took it, the Qing army could only escape by land.

This is the matter of Li Dingguo. If Li Dingguo cannot seal the Qing army's retreat, Zheng Chenggong would have no choice.

This time, Zheng Chenggong did not bring Zheng Jing with him because he thought about it over and over again and thought that Zheng Jing should be arranged to observe politics in the Ministry of Rites.

This is an excellent opportunity to get close to His Majesty and the court. His Zheng family must not be a martial artist, and there must be someone in the court.

Only in this way can we always be clear about the thoughts of the court and His Majesty's thoughts.

"Your Highness, I heard that General Mao established Dongjiang Town and beat the Tartars to the point of running away. Now I don't know if we can recreate the former glory of Dongjiang Town."

Gan Hui is the one who speaks.

As Zheng Chenggong's most trusted subordinate, Gan Hui has always been Zheng Chenggong's right-hand man.

Zheng Jing led his troops alone several times, but Zheng Chenggong was worried that he ordered Gan Hui to assist him.

Not to mention anything else, Gan Hui can at least ensure Zheng Jing's lower limit so that he will not do anything that is seriously out of standard.

"Well... I don't know whether the glory of Dongjiang Town can be reproduced, but I know one thing very well. That is, since I am here, there is no reason for this to come in vain. We must let the Tartars understand who is the king of naval warfare."

Although the climate in the Liaodong waters is very different from that in the south, Zheng Chenggong thinks that these are not problems.

A true strong man will not complain about these external factors. As long as he is strong enough, these are irrelevant.

"I heard that the army of King Jin has taken one step ahead, so we can't be too far away. Let's order the sails to move forward. I think the wind has been very good recently. We can't waste the good wind that God has blown."

"Your Highness, please rest assured. If the wind direction remains unchanged, we will arrive at Juehua Island in at most five days. At that time, we can give General He and General Yu a surprise."
