Liu Xingming conquered the world with one arrow and directly captured the Qing generals.

The next battle became much easier.

When the Qing army saw that the commander was captured, they basically lost any fighting spirit.

Run away, run away.

What Ming Jun had to do next was to clean up the endgame.

This is not an easy task. Because the trenches are full of corpses, the Ming army is the one with the Qing army.

It is a technical job to separate these corpses. But the Ming soldiers had to do it again because they had their robes here.

These soldiers sacrificed their lives for the great cause of the Ming Dynasty. As companions of robes, the living soldiers should find their bodies and be buried with them.

Even if these corpses are already broken and bloody, it doesn't matter.

The Battle of Tashan was much more intense and tragic than the Ming army imagined.

From the beginning, the Qing army did not intend to defend the city, but instead gathered troops to dig a large number of trenches and ambush heavy troops in the suburbs.

When the Ming army came, we concentrated our troops to do a big vote.

But they did not expect that the Ming army's combat effectiveness would be stronger and suppress them almost in all aspects.

In this way, the Qing army could only be beaten passively. Although it also caused a certain degree of damage to the Ming army, the war loss ratio was really impossible to see.

As the Qing army commander was captured alive, all this was settled.

Ningyuan, Tashan...

Two important cities were won in a row, and they were won in two completely different ways, which greatly improved the morale of the Ming army soldiers.

This made the Ming army soldiers firmly believe that they had the ability to regain Liaodong within one or even half a year.

The Qing army returned to Liaodong did not restore their former combat effectiveness and was still not enough to watch.

It can only be said that the gap in combat power between the two sides does exist at the moment, and the Qing army has tried its best, but the results are not good.

If the Ming army continues to fight like this, there is no reason why they cannot win.

Of course, both Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong are cautious people.

After taking Tashan, they were not proud and complacent. On the one hand, they reported the victory to the court, but on the other hand, they led their troops to Tashan City for supplies.

Since the Qing army was ambushed in the suburbs of the city, Tashan City was preserved intact, and even the city walls were intact.

Not to mention the food in the city, this allowed the Ming army to replenish the consumption of food and grass.

This made Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong feel much more at ease.

"Your Highness King Jin, Daxing Fort is north of Tashan. The location closer to the northeast is Xingshan, and Songshan is north of it."

Li Laiheng looked at the map and analyzed: "I think we can divide our troops. Xingshan, Songshan coast, Daxing Fort, and Jinzhou are relatively far away from the coast. We can completely divide our troops to attack, so that we can be more efficient."

Li Dingguo listened carefully to Li Laiheng's analysis and nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, our combat effectiveness is indeed a bit wasteful. Why don't you let King Zhong lead his troops to attack Xingshan and Songshan? You can follow me to attack Daxing Fort and Jinzhou."

It is reasonable for Li Dingguo to make such arrangements. No one can compare with Zheng Chenggong when it comes to naval masters.

If it is considered a land war, he has obvious advantages.

The Kuidong Army can do anything with anyone, but if it is with Li Dingguo, the pressure on Li Dingguo will be less.

Although His Majesty the Emperor did not clearly divide the responsibilities of Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong in the battle to conquer Liaodong, he generally recognized Li Dingguo's power to command the army.

In other words, Zheng Chenggong's status is lower than that of Li Dingguo.

Then if Li Dingguo set a principle, as long as it is not particularly outrageous, Zheng Chenggong has no reason to refuse, but should follow it unconditionally.

Li Dingguo's arrangement was reasonable, so Li Laiheng immediately stated: "The last one is willing to follow His Highness the King of Jin."

"good!"

Li Dingguo sighed: "Xingming made great contributions in this battle. I will definitely recommend him to the emperor and he will definitely be promoted."

Liu Xingming is actually a celebrity of Jian Zai Dixin, and Li Dingguo did this with the flow.

He has always had a good relationship with the generals of the Kuidong Army. If he could take this opportunity to go further, it would be better.

...

...

Ningyuan and Tashan were lost one after another, and the people of Liaodong were in chaos.

Not only the ordinary people, the Eight Banners, and even many important officials and nobles of the Qing court began to panic.

The Empress Dowager has always said that Ning Jin's defense line is solid, so everyone should not worry.

But this battle made the Qing army slapped him hard.

Ning Jin and Ning Jin are gone, isn’t this Ning Jin defense line equivalent to being made of paper?

Moreover, the location of Tashan is also very important. After being thrown away, there are almost no barriers in Songshan, Xingshan and even Jinzhou.

The Ming army can attack at any time, and the Ming army has the final say from what angle to what direction to attack.

If Ningjin is lost, then the Liaodong Shenyang and the Liaodong areas will not be stable.

With the current speed of the Ming army's advancement, it is not impossible to capture the entire Liaodong within half a year.

For a moment, people were panicked, and the Eight Banners all wailed.

Mainly, there is no way out for them.

When they were in the capital, they could comfort themselves to defend the Yangtze River and rule the Ming army.

After the Ming army took over Jiangnan and began the Northern Expedition, they comforted themselves that they could withdraw from the customs and live a steady life in Liaodong.

But when they found that the Ming army was attacking Liaodong and they had no ability to defend Liaodong, they realized that there was no way out.

At this moment, all the Eight Banner nobles broke through the defense.

Why is it so difficult? Why is it so difficult?

It was obvious that they beat the Ming army more than ten years ago, but why did the difference be so big after more than ten years?

This is unreasonable.

But this fact has happened after all, and they have no way to accept it.

The most urgent task now is how to defend Jinzhou.

This is the lifeline of the Qing army. If there is any mistake in Jinzhou, everything will be over.

So, the Eight Banners' children wrote letters to the Qing court, requesting to send additional troops to Jinzhou.

No matter what, Jinzhou must be kept. No matter how many people die, they must be kept. Anyway, they are not the ones who die.

For a moment, Xiaozhuang was under tremendous pressure. This pressure made her breathless.

Originally, in her plan, she would not send a large number of troops to Jinzhou at one time, because Shenyang also needed troops to guard it. But the situation is out of control now. If you don’t hurry up and reinforce Jinzhou, not to mention whether Jinzhou can withstand the Ming army’s fierce attack, even if it can, the Eight Banners children in the court would have to lift the roof.

Xiaozhuang felt like he was being roasted on fire, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

No matter what, this decision has to be made by her.

After thinking about it, Xiaozhuang decided to increase troops to Jinzhou. As long as he defended Jinzhou, there would be a possibility of the next step. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would have to fight to the death to defend Shenyang.
