1369 Late Night News
As for other areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty, it was even simpler. Basically, in the Jiangbei region, there was no army that competed with Liu Pei at all. It can be said that it was decided by an edict! As for the Jiangnan region, it might take some trouble, but it was just a trouble.
That's why these officers gathered in Liu Pei's tent, preparing to experience the turning point of this great change personally. Everyone was happy to wait for the victory to arrive! As for those officers who were wearing helmets and armor, the officers who had the attack mission tonight were even more happy! Because they were destined to be famous in history tonight!
The war has reached its present level and has relied more on the commanding officers and grassroots officers on the scene. So Liu Pei and a large number of senior officers started to do nothing. When everyone bragged to each other and had no choice, Liu Pei simply came up with an offensive plan and started a war chess deduction with the officers!
Liu Pei represents himself, while Yang Jingfa represents Wu Sangui. Both sides fought on the map with a group of officers! Just as the war chess performance was coming to an end and Liu Pei was about to win, suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside the account!
Then the guards raised the curtain high and said loudly: "Master, an emergency army has arrived!"
Then Liu Pei saw two guards holding a man and quickly walked into the door of the big tent. Liu Pei saw the man being held and knew that he was his own, because he had a red armband on his left arm, which meant that he was a messenger!
Moreover, when this man was held, his legs were still trembling, which means he was running from a long distance and was very tired!
Seeing this, Liu Pei had a guess in his heart. He hurriedly said, "Give him a stool!"
After Liu Pei finished speaking, a guard immediately brought a chair and placed it in the middle of the tent and put it on it. The guard also brought him a bowl of water. The man took it and drank it all, and then said excitedly: "Master, a great victory! General Fan's great victory!"
In fact, this answer was not only guessed by Liu Pei, but almost everyone present guessed it! However, when the news was said from the sender, everyone was still very surprised and happy!
Before Liu Pei could speak, the man took off the burden behind him and took out a flat from the burden.
A small wooden box was handed over.
The guard took the wooden box and opened it. He confirmed that it was just a letter and handed it over to Liu Pei. Liu Pei took the letter and opened it and watched slowly. As he looked, he burst into laughter!
When everyone heard Liu Pei's laughter, they knew that it must be good news. They all relaxed and waited for the news with a smile.
Sure enough, after reading it, Liu Pei slapped the letter heavily on the table and said loudly: "General Fan defeated more than 300,000 Dashun Army! He killed more than 20,000 and captured more than 100,000 alive!"
Everyone cheered happily after hearing this! This was indeed a huge victory, which meant that Li Zicheng's main force had disappeared! Liu Pei could deal with the remaining Dashun Army calmly.
Then Liu Pei asked a staff officer to read the content of the letter to everyone. It turned out that after Liu Pei defeated Li Zicheng's main force, a large part of the Dashun Army's escaped Liu Pei was chasing him! After all, 200,000 people were against 800,000 people, and it was impossible to cover so many people!
Liu Pei went all out and only captured more than 300,000 people. The remaining Dashun Army, except for the scattered fleeing people, gathered spontaneously and wanted to return to Shaanxi along the way! As a result, he was hitting the Fan Hualong Legion who was actively welcomed!
Then the two sides started a fierce battle! One side wanted to block the Dashun Army's retreat, while the other side wanted to survive, so the battle was very fierce from the beginning! But the advantage was always on Fan Hualong's side.
Fan Hualong had many artillery helpers, and at the same time, the entire musket soldiers could give the Dashun Army a fierce attack at a long distance! The Dashun Army not only lacked logistics supplies, but also many soldiers did not even have weapons and armor! Because they threw away all these things on the way to escape!
After half a day of fierce fighting, Fan Hualong defeated more than 300,000 Dashun Army with 50,000 people! He completely defeated the main force of the Dashun Army!
Even the fleeing people fell into Fan Hualong's hands, because Fan Hualong had already arranged a long front in advance, specifically for intercepting the Dashun Army! Only scattered and small groups of soldiers could quietly cross the defense line.
But a slightly larger number of people will be targeted and will be wiped out by the soldiers who took the initiative. Fan Hualong probably won't be the one who fled back to Shaanxi in the end.
More than 100,000!
After the staff officer read the battle report, there was another cheering and admiring voice in the tent! Everyone was sighing at Fan Hualong’s good luck!
Fifty thousand people exceeded 300,000. Although they were dealing with the newly defeated army, this is also a huge number that can be boasted about! From today on, Fan Hualong has become one of the famous generals! And with this qualification, it proves that Fan Hualong can already stand alone, and he will definitely be the commander in charge of the side in the future!
After everyone calmed down, Liu Pei said with a smile: "Everyone, General Fan has given us a good start, and we will give him a good ending! So we will win tonight!"
Yang Jingfa threw the little wooden soldier in his hand onto the map and said, "That's right! Today is definitely a good day for two joys! We will definitely get Shanhaiguan before noon today!"
At this time, these officers could not contain their fanaticism and began to shout in unison! The officers' enthusiasm even infected the guards outside the tent, and they shouted excitedly!
When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly sent someone to stop him. If he didn't stop him, he might have heard the sound of "Wansheng" snoring throughout the camp, which might be like warning Wu Sangui!
When everything outside became quiet, Liu Pei patted the table and said, "Okay, okay, don't be excited! Keep some strength and drink together after you get down to Shanhaiguan!"
A staff officer stepped forward and said, "Master, I think it is better to give this good news to the entire army. It can inspire morale to the entire army! Just tell the soldiers to keep quiet when conveying it!"
Liu Pei thought about it and felt that his soldiers' discipline was completely reliable, so he nodded in agreement. So the good news was quickly informed of the entire army. The soldiers who were already waiting for the battle at this time were so excited that they could not suppress themselves when they heard that their side had won another great victory! If the officer had not told them not to make noise in advance, I am afraid that there would be a series of victories in the entire barracks again!
