Seeing that they arrived so slowly, Chen Ce was already furious. Why were they so slow? It almost ruined the event.

Just when he was about to curse, he saw the two of them knelt down to apologize and told him a piece of news.

"My lord, Commander-in-Chief, forgive me. We were marching at night. We lost our direction and delayed our flight. We deserve death.

However, when we came here just now, we met Governor Xiong's messenger. He has led 1 elite troops. Now he has arrived at Hupiyi. He also ordered Jibao garrison Yang Chaozheng to lead more than [-] people to surround Jiannu. Don't let Jianlu succeed. "

Chen Ce felt slightly better after hearing the news.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, as the coach, he can't get away with this credit. He just waits for Governor Xiong to lead the reinforcements to join forces and see if he can keep the army of prisoners.

But looking at Zhu Wanliang and Jiang Bi kneeling on the ground, he became furious.

The two of them have always been at odds with him, and many of his orders were deliberately delayed. If the chieftain soldiers and Zheying camp hadn't been so powerful just now, this battle would have been defeated. However, the war is not over yet, so it is not appropriate to punish them.

"I understand, but the two of you delayed the battle and delayed the opportunity to fight. According to the law, you should be killed. But now that the war is the time to recruit people, I will allow you two to take the blame and perform meritorious service, and wait until Governor Xiong comes to punish you.

Now quickly dispatch the Wujing Camp and the Weining Camp to assist the Zheying Camp and the Tusi soldiers in pursuing the Jianlu without any mistakes. "

Zhu Wanliang and Jiang Bi originally had no hope for Chen Ce's rescue, so they deliberately delayed on the road to preserve their strength. However, they did not expect that Chen Ce relied on the Sichuan Army and the Zhejiang Camp to actually win the battle.

Now all their plans were in vain. Chen Ce, with his great power, could capture them both for delaying the military plane.

Therefore, when Chen Ce suddenly said that he could be punished and made meritorious service, he was immediately overjoyed. He immediately thanked En and took the order and led his troops to pursue Jianlu.

Yang Lian on the city wall has been staring at the battlefield by the Hun River. He knew that the battle was dangerous long before he came to Shenyang and was prepared to die.

Especially after seeing Shenyang's defense and experiencing the Jianlu sneak attack and Lao Nu's attack on the city, he had no confidence in Shenyang City. Therefore, he carried a sword with him at all times in the past few days, preparing to die when the city was breached. , to repay your kindness.

But he never expected that this battle would change the decline of the Ming army over the years and defeat the Jianlu in the field. This was an unprecedented victory. Looking at the Ming army still chasing Jianlu's escapees by the Hun River, he could I can imagine the expressions of the cabinet ministers and the emperor when they heard the news.

The new emperor had given him many instructions before coming here because he was worried that the imperial army would be defeated again. Now with this result, he thought that he could finally repay His Majesty. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel refreshed and instantly relaxed.

On the Hunhe battlefield, reinforcements from the Ming army continued to arrive, encircling and killing the Jianlu soldiers who were stubbornly resisting on the battlefield. Daishan led the elites of the Three Banners to fight against the Ming army's pursuers.

It's just that the Ming army also knew that after the great battle, many soldiers were now exhausted, and He Shixian and others also knew that enough was enough. Such a great victory was enough.

Daishan did not want to waste more strength because of this, so the two had a "tacit understanding" in the battle and did not continue to fight on a large scale.

Only Heshun was unwilling to attack, but He Shixian stopped him and took him with him to prevent him from attacking rashly.

Outside the battlefield, the Ming army had a "tacit understanding" with Daishan's elite in fighting, but when it came to encircling and suppressing those Jianlu soldiers who had resisted, the Ming army was not so polite.

Some of the trapped soldiers, especially the Xianghuang Banner and the Zhenghuang Banner, were originally Nurhaci, so the soldiers of the two banners were the most loyal to the old Nurhaci. Some saw that there was no hope of escape, so they refused to surrender and wanted to resist.

Heshun also took some of his anger out on them. After a fight, two Niu Lu with yellow flags were killed by him.The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on the side shouted for bravery. The battle lasted until midnight in the afternoon, when the fighting between the two sides ended. The Ming army also camped under Shenyang City to rest, and Jianlu also returned to the camp to treat the wounded and plan for the future.

The sky is getting darker and the temperature is getting colder. The blood slowly gathering on the bank of the Hun River gradually freezes and condenses into ice. It solidifies together with the corpses on the ground that cannot be transported in time, and is fixed on the cold earth.

The lights in Shenyang city are brightly lit.

Generals Chen Ce, Qi Jin, and Qin Bangping were in the Shenyang garrison mansion, celebrating their victory over a drink with Yang Lian, He Shixian and others.

Today's victory over the Hunhe River was the Ming army's first major victory since the Battle of Sarhu, and it was a heavy defeat for Jianlu.

Most of the people present have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they know that this battle cannot be said to be different in terms of offensive and defensive momentum, but at least Jianlu will not dare to launch an offensive rashly for two or three years.And after this great victory, all the generals present will be rewarded, and some will be promoted to higher ranks, not to mention them.

"I have written down the details of this battle. When Governor Xiong arrives tomorrow, I will hand it over to Governor Xiong for his review. Then I will jointly submit a letter to the court to report the victory, tell the story of the battle, and ask the court to reward me for my merits."

Yang Lian is the imperial envoy of the imperial court, the censor of the left deputy capital, and a big boss in the court. With his assurance, everyone present suddenly beamed with joy and began to bow and thank Yang Lian. Yang Lian naturally didn't care about this.

"You are all heroes in this battle, and this is what Yang should do."

"I heard a letter from the capital before saying that the late Emperor once said that Yang Qinchao was upright, upright, and a 'true loyal minister.' Now it seems that is the case.

Shenyang was able to defend the city during these several attacks by Jianlu, but He did not contribute much. It was all thanks to Yang Qinchai to turn the tide. Especially on New Year's Eve, if Yang Qinqi hadn't inspected the city at night and discovered the Jianlu spies, the consequences would have been absolutely disastrous. "

After He Shixian got along with him during this time, apart from being bitter about the things that prevented him from going out to fight in the city, he was full of admiration for Yang Lian in other aspects.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, where civil servants were valued but military officials were valued, a third-rank executive of the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not flinch in the face of battle. He also personally encouraged the soldiers and boosted their morale. He did not look down upon these generals, which really impressed these generals.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Chen, have you calculated the casualties in this battle? I can write a memorial and report it to the court as soon as possible."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse, Yang Lian quickly stopped him. He was just an imperial envoy, and he only communicated with these generals because of the war. However, if the contacts were too close, if the Zhejiang Party and others were labeled as having friends with generals and plotting evil, what would happen to them? Everyone here is not doing well.

"Reporting to the imperial envoy, according to preliminary statistics, our army lost 620 people in this battle, and 110 and 210 people were injured. However, in this battle, 54 and [-] Jian captives were killed, including [-] Niulu Ezhen and Jia. There were six La'erzhen and more than [-] prisoners."

"Good, good, good!"

Yang Lian heard that he said three good words in a row. After arriving in Liaodong, he learned the basic situation of Jianlu. There were almost 230 Niulu and a total of 7000 people.

Now more than 2 people have been lost in one battle, which is really nerve-wracking. It is estimated that Nurhachi is furious in the Jianlu camp now.

 The war is over, and a new plot unfolds.

  If you have any ideas about future reforms, you can put them forward and I will refer to them as appropriate.
