Hetuala and Sarhu are both in a very deep place in Liaodong. Sarhu is relatively deeper, and it is on the edge of Hunhe River.

He Shouyi and others decided to attack Sarhu first because of the emotional factors of descendants of Dongjiang Town such as Qian Youren, nor because of the example of the bloody battle in Hunhe.

But because Sarhu is very close to Fushun, and Fushun is behind Shenyang.

The Qing court is now in Shenyang, and most of the Qing army should have gathered in Shenyang. He Shouyi and others wanted to share the pressure of the main force of the Ming army on the front battlefield to attack Sarhu.

If Sarhu can be successfully defeated and Fushun can be further threatened, the Ming army will have many choices and will take the absolute initiative.

Of course, it would be better if we could take this opportunity to avenge the bloody battle of Hunhe.

With the savage Jurchen leading the way, the Ming army marched very quickly and passed by Phoenix City and headed towards Qinghe.

Qinghe is not a river, but a fort.

It is very close to the important town of Yahu Pass and is also a must-pass place for the Ming army to go to Sarhu.

After all, He Shouyi and others wanted to avoid the main force of the Qing army as much as possible, so Weining Fort was definitely not allowed, so Qinghe was almost the only choice.

The more you go north, the more desolate it becomes, and even the refugees who flee can't see it.

This is also normal. After all, something like that happened in Sarhu. The people who could escape had already escaped. Most of the people who could not escape were the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, so they accepted their fate.

He Shouyi couldn't accept it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood that as long as Liaodong is restored, the people's lives will be better.

Therefore, he could not focus all his attention on these 1,800 people, but to have the whole world in mind.

With this level and position, when you look at the situation in Liaodong, you will suddenly become clear.

Of course, the Ming army's advancement was not blind. Basically, the signs along the way were recorded every place.

In this way, even if you get lost, you can go back and not make any mistakes to the end.

However, He Shouyi felt that the possibility of Ming army getting lost was not high.

After all, it would be unreasonable to have a savage Jurchen lead the way.

For them, it would be better to advance steadily, Sarhu is right in front of them, and victory is right in front of them.

...

...

What surprised Zhu Youlang was that the Ming army had been going smoothly since its departure from Jinzhou and had almost no resistance.

Dalinghe Fort, Youtun, Guangning, Xiping Fort.

These important towns were almost empty cities. As long as the Ming army advanced to this area, they could successfully take over the city without any pressure.

This is really surprising.

You should know that during the Chongzhen period, these towns were the Ming and Qing dynasties that were absolutely necessary to seize the battle, but now there is no soldier or soldier.

What did Kangxi and Xiaozhuang think? Do you really think that defending Chenyang can be defended? Or are they scared and dared not send troops to these important cities again?

No matter which one it is, it can be considered absolutely good news for Zhu Youlang and Ming Jun.

After passing Xiping Fort, the primary problem faced by the tens of thousands of Ming army was to cross the Liao River.

The water level of the Liao River is still very high in this season, and the Ming army had only two options to cross the river.

One is to choose a river berth with shallow water levels and then wading through it.

Another way is to find a ferry to cross the river.

The latter is obviously unrealistic. After all, even if you can find the ferry and the boatman, it is impossible to gather enough boats that cost more than 100,000 people to cross the river in a short period of time.

If you come to bring people across the river in batches, you won’t know how long it will take until the crossing is over.

Zhu Youlang couldn't afford to wait for this time, and he believed that Ming Jun could not afford to wait either.

So Zhu Youlang ordered the scout to find a shallow bay suitable for trekking the river.

The Liao River is long, but the Ming army had enough scouts.

So it is not impossible to find such a shallow bay.

Zhu Youlang's psychological expectation was about half a day, but he didn't expect that the soldiers found it in less than two hours.

Zhu Youlang was overjoyed and ordered someone to take him to see him.

Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and other generals protected each other.

Compared with the big rivers in the Central Plains, the width of the Liao River is not wide, and this river bay seems particularly shallow.

Zhu Youlang smiled with relief when he saw it.

This is really a blessing from the Ming Dynasty.

After the matter was prepared, Zhu Youlang ordered the army to cross the river.

In fact, it is still very dangerous when crossing the river. If the Qing army set up an ambush, it would be in a dilemma when the Ming army crossed the river halfway.

If you continue to cross the river, you will face the attack of the Qing army. If you don’t cross the river, you will be wasted all your efforts and you will also give up some of your army.

Therefore, Zhu Youlang did the preparations to the extreme to ensure that this generation did not have the will issued by the main force of the Qing army.

This time, the soldiers of Zheng Chenggong's army were the first to be among them because most of them were sailors and were not afraid of crossing the river.

As for the Kuidong Army, they were in power because they also had the experience of living by the Yangtze River and could perfectly complete the tasks behind the palace.

As for Li Dingguo and the Hu Ben Army, they guarded the emperor and walked in the middle.

In order to set an example, Zhu Youlang rode his horse across the river without fear.

The river water did not exceed the horse's legs, and he was not afraid at all. After seeing it, the soldiers of the Ming army called him wise and powerful, and long live the Emperor.

The entire river crossing process lasted for half a day, and before dark, all Ming army members finished crossing the river.

After crossing the Liao River, it is very close to Shenyang on the Hun River.

Zhu Youlang was not in a hurry, but issued an order to rest for one night, and wait until the next morning, the Ming army recovered its strength before gathering forces to advance towards Shenyang.

If everything goes well, you will be able to reach the outside of Shenyang City within three days.

...

...

"General He, Qinghe is ahead."

Qian Youren wiped the sweat from his forehead and said very seriously.

As one of the few people in the Ming army who could communicate with the savage Jurchens, Qian Youren took on the task of translating as expected.

The leader of the Savage Jurchen believed that there would not be too many Qing troops in the Qinghe generation, but on the contrary, they could not reveal flaws and had to send scouts to investigate first.

Wait until you confirm that there is no danger before launching a frontal attack.

Qian Youren immediately brought the words after hearing this. He Shouyi also felt that the suggestion made sense, so he happily adopted it.

Anyway, the Ming army is in a great situation now, so they don’t care about this time anymore.

"Well, let's send scouts to investigate. If there is no major problem, start an attack."

Qian You couldn't bear to hold on, and He Shouyi was the same.

There is a saying that there are many dreams in the night, and the two of them have the same opinion on the quick battle and decision.

In addition, Yu Qi and Wang Ermazi attacked Hetulala almost the same time as theirs, He Shouyi was not willing to be willing to be the last one.

If they could take Sarhu before the Qihe King Ermazi, in the mind of His Majesty, his image would be higher than these two people.
