please make me king

Chapter 1593 Arrival
Haizhou has fallen, and the water and land passages leading to Liaoyang by the rebels have been completely opened up.

From Niuzhuang to Liaoyang, both land and water are two hundred miles away.

However, on the land route, you need to go east to Haizhou first, and then turn north.

The line of water and land is along the Taizi River to the north and then to the east.

The two present a parallelogram shape on the map.

In other words, if Zhang Sanbai wanted to advance by land and water, he had to divide his troops into two groups.

"In this way, Luo Xiangqian and Wu Sangui, your two battalions will go by water, and the rest will go by land with me!" Zhang Sanbai pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but order.

The waterway is convenient, if everyone can take the waterway, that would be great.

However, the rebel army had limited ships and had to control the routes of the Liaohe River and Taizi River.

That being the case, Zhang Sanbai could only divide his troops.

Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui saw the rebel army winning consecutive battles, even if they had a hundred thoughts, they could only obey orders.

The people's calculations were settled, so they left Niuzhuang post and rushed towards Liaoyang.

The line from Niuzhuang to Liaoyang used to be low-lying and the roads were muddy, but since it was late autumn and the rain had greatly decreased, the roads were much easier to walk.

After spending four days like this, he arrived in front of Liaoyang, only to see a big mountain lying in front of him.

Zhang Sanbai couldn't help asking: "What mountain is this?"

"Report to General, is this the first mountain?" Zu Dashou hastily introduced.

"Shoushan?" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

It turns out that there is also a first mountain in Xiangcheng County, Henan Province. It is the first mountain where the Yellow Emperor "picked the copper from the first mountain and cast it under Jingshan Mountain".

Nazu Dashou saw Zhang Sanbai's expression, and quickly explained: "This Shou Mountain is the place where Sima Yi dived into the Liaoshui River in the past, entered Shou Mountain, and broke through Gongsunyuan."

It turns out that this mountain is [-] miles southwest of Liaoyang, which is the barrier of Liaoyang, and Xiangping in the Three Kingdoms period is [-] miles north of Liaoyang.

If people from the pass come from the south, they must pass through Shoushan, so this place is the key point of Liaoyang and Xiangping.

If Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, hadn't dredged the river after occupying Liaodong, so that ships could pass through the Liao River and Taizi River, I am afraid that the rebels would not be able to escape the great battle this time.

That Zhang Sanbai naturally knew how powerful this place is, so he quickly ordered: "Where is Yang Chengzu? Hurry up and send someone to investigate carefully, don't fall into the enemy's tricks!"

As the commander-in-chief of one party, the closer to the critical moment, the more calm he must be.

"General, it's going to be dark soon, and Liaodong City is also in danger. If it's delayed for a long time, I'm afraid something will happen." Zu Dashou frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but speak up.

"It's nothing in case!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Sanbai shook his head when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Although there are many Tartars besieging Liaoyang, but there is a waterway connected, this commander already knows the truth!"

And when Zhang Sanbai, Zu Dashou and others were discussing the art of war, Yang Chengzu was leading the soldiers to climb to the top of Shoushan Mountain.

However, at this moment, there was a faint sound of gunfire.

Yang Chengzu hurriedly climbed to the top of the mountain, went to the front and looked down, only to see a large group of people and horses surrounding the city of Liaoyang densely, attacking the city.

There are also several Hongyi cannons, spewing out a cloud of smoke from time to time, bombarding Liaoyang City.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chengzu was taken aback, and quickly ordered: "Quickly, use the flag to tell the coach!"

It turns out that Liaoyang is 120 miles away from Shenyang, which is [-] miles shorter than Niuzhuang.

It's just that the Hongyi cannon is heavy and difficult to move, so it took a lot of effort before rushing to the outside of Liaoyang City.

That generation of Shan repeatedly attacked Liaoyang, and seeing Duoduo leading the main force to support him, he became anxious and ordered to attack the city with Hongyi cannons. This is what Yang Chengzu saw.

"Daishan is in a hurry!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help asserting after learning about the battle situation outside Liaoyang City.

"I'm really in a hurry!" Even Zu Dashou could see this.

In this important area of ​​Shoushan, there is no police post; if it is getting late, and you don't know how to advance or retreat, this is the way to die.

Just when Zhang Sanbai, Zu Dashou and others arrived at Shoushan, the "dead soldiers" of Hou Jin once again boarded the city wall of Liaoyang.

"Kill, kill!" I saw a general in red armor jumping up, brandishing a big knife and killing the guards who were pushing the ladder with a fork.

"Quick, stop him!" It turned out that these guards were servants of big families in the city, and they were useless.The other soldiers of the rebel army excused themselves and rushed to stop them.

"Hey!" There were two long spears stabbing fiercely, and they were stabbing at the red armored general.

However, before the two of them showed joy, they saw that the man stretched out his hand and pushed aside the spear, stepped forward and chopped down one, and several people were chopped down by him in succession.

It turned out that this man was wearing double armor, invulnerable to swords and guns.

And just when this man was so brave and difficult to control, seven or eight Houjin "dead soldiers" turned up from the ladder, and the situation was in a precarious situation for a while.

Li Yangeng couldn't help but took a deep breath, and was about to step forward to fight for his life.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, only the sound of a gun was heard, and a group of soldiers rushed up from the bottom of the city, and quickly suppressed this group of enemies.

"General Huang?" Li Yangeng couldn't help turning his head to look, and hurriedly said hello, "Why are you here!"

It turned out that the person who came here was none other than Dao Huang Degong who was in command.

Originally, according to the agreement, Huang Degong was in charge of the central army and sent his elite soldiers to support, while the other big households guarded the various gates. Li Yangeng never expected that Huang Degong would suddenly appear in the east gate.

"Boom!" Huang Degong was about to speak, but he heard a loud noise, and many gravels flew towards him.

Huang Degong and Li Yangeng hurriedly hid, only to realize that a female wall not far away was smashed to pieces by Houjindao Hongyi cannon.

"General Huang, it's too dangerous here, get out of here!" Li Yangeng was terrified, and couldn't help reminding quickly.

"It's because this time it's too dangerous, so I'm here!" Unexpectedly, Huang Degong shook his head and said, "Our army's reinforcements have arrived, which is enough to defeat the enemy!"

"What?" Li Yangeng was stunned at first, but then unexpectedly overjoyed.

It turned out that after fighting the Tartars for several days in a row, they also said that the rebels had treated them as abandoned sons this time, and they regretted it in private.

He never expected that at this critical moment, the rebel reinforcements finally arrived.

"Actually, we arrived a long time ago, just waiting to defeat the enemy today!" Huang Degong couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that the reinforcements that Huang Degong said were not the main force led by Zhang Sanbai, but the two battalions of Luo Xiangqian and Wu Sangui who came by water.

It took only two days for the two battalions to reach the outside of Liaoyang City.

Since Huang Degong could still hold on, he asked them to temporarily station in the west of Liaoyang City, so that they could break out at the critical moment.

It's just that Huang Degong didn't expect that this generation of goodness would not be able to attack for a long time, so he transferred the Hongyi cannon from Shenyang.

It stands to reason that these few Hongyi cannons are nothing.

It's just that Li Yangeng, Cui Ming, Han Xuan and other powerful family members have never experienced hard battles, and embarrassment is of great use.

As soon as they heard the sound of the cannon, their minds were shaken and their livers were torn apart. This made Hou Jin's attacking men and horses frequently kill the city wall.

In desperation, Huang Degong had no choice but to invite Luo Xiangqian and Wu Sangui to avoid losing Liaoyang City.
