All Heavens and Worlds Modified History System

Chapter 55: No one begs for mercy, I said!

"Why don't the defenders of Dalinghe Fort come out?"

In the Houjin camp, in the tent that once belonged to Huang Taiji, Chen Ran asked in confusion, "Didn't they inform them that reinforcements were coming?"

"Send someone to tell them." Shang Kexi spread his hands. "The messenger hasn't even come close yet, and there are gunshots and cannon fire from the top of the city. No matter what we say, they won't believe us and insist that we are fake Jiannu."

"Forget it, don't worry about them." Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, then instructed, "All units move into the barracks, count the population and supplies, and we'll talk about everything tomorrow."

Zhao Twelve, who looked excited, stepped out of the line and said, "General Chen, the Jiannu are in disarray. Aren't you going to pursue them?"

No matter who it was, Chen Ran would not respond to such direct questioning of the head coach.

In other words, Zhao Twelve was not from Dongjiang Town, but a guest soldier who came to help in the battle. Moreover, when the situation was so bad before, he did not rely on his fast horse to advance ahead of the enemy.

Chen Ran explained with a smile, "Of course we should chase him, but not now. Rest for a night and chase him tomorrow. After all, the distance from here to Shenyang City is not close."

Chen Ranke always remembered that last time, outside Gaizhou City, Zhu Laitong led the cavalry to pursue, but was instead hit by Yue Tuo in a beautiful counterattack.

Anyway, it is impossible for the defeated soldiers to run back to Shenyang City in one night. It would be better to conserve their strength and wait until dawn to chase them.

The generals dispersed, and Chen Ran planned to have dinner and then go to bed to rest.

'The modification has been completed, and the rewards are now issued.'

'Note: Distribute 8,000 pickled chickens, 60 dan of sesame oil, 400 dan of salad oil, 160 dan of salt, MSG, pepper, Sichuan pepper, star anise, cumin, and cooking wine'

"Oh?" Looking at the new reward, Chen Ran's first thought was "This recipe looks so familiar, isn't this fried chicken?"

The second thought that followed was "The modification has been completed, which means that General Zu really ate shit?"

"Ugh~~~"

The next morning, He Kegang saw Chen Ran under the banner of Chen, the general of Dongjiang Town, with his own eyes. He then believed that Marshal Chen had really come. He hurriedly opened the gate of Dalingh Fort and took the initiative to go out of the city to pay him a visit.

"After seeing you in the capital, Marshal Chen is still as charming as ever." He Kegang smiled and bowed respectfully, "It was all thanks to the Marshal's rescue that Dalinghe Fort was saved."

Chen Ran responded with a few words and then asked, "Where is Zu Dashou?"

As soon as these words were spoken, He Kegang immediately stopped talking.

"General Zu, I'm not feeling well." His eyes dodged. "I was sick and was unable to greet the Marshal."

"Sick?" Chen Ran laughed and shook his head. "Did you eat something bad?"

He Kegang's face turned pale immediately.

He recalled the scene he had seen with his own eyes: Zu Dashou was eating!
Although Zu Dashou once thought of surrendering, he was a native of Liaozhen after all, and he could not let anyone know that he had committed suicide.

If people really knew about this, Zu Dashou would have no face to live.

"General Zu is just sick, that's all!"

"Oh." Chen Ran nodded, and did not continue to dwell on the matter. "A lot of food was seized in the Jiannu camp. You can take 3,000 stones to use when you enter the city. We will make a decision after Lord Sun arrives."

"Thank you, Marshal Chen~~~"

Guangning Guard.

Huang Taiji, who had been in a coma for a day and a night, finally opened his eyes.

I lay there in a daze for a while, then I realized that I was in a carriage.

"Water~~~"

I shouted with a hoarse voice, but no one responded.

He swallowed his saliva and gathered some strength, "Someone come~~~"

The carriage finally stopped. Amid the chaotic footsteps and calls, a figure jumped up. "Father Khan, you are finally awake!"

"Haoge~" Huang Taiji coughed, "Where are we?"

"Father Khan, we have arrived at Guangning Guard."

"Where is Yuetuo?" Huang Taiji shook his dizzy head and asked his most trusted confidant.

"Beile Yuetuo, take your troops to stop the Ming army." Haoge still had some sense, and whispered what had happened in the past few days, "Yesterday, the army encountered a tsunami at the seaside, and you, my father, were unconscious. Yuetuo took you back to the camp. We discussed it and decided to withdraw."

"Well done." Huang Taiji motioned to Hauge to help him lean against the carriage. "We have encountered natural disasters, our troops have been scattered, and our morale has plummeted. Retreating at this time is the best option."

Hauge also breathed a sigh of relief.

They gathered together and made the decision to retreat without authorization, as they were all worried that the Khan would blame them after he woke up.

After all, retreating not only meant the failure of the strategic offensive, but also the abandonment of a large amount of baggage and supplies, as well as the defeated soldiers who had not yet been gathered.

"Hauge." As expected, Huang Taiji quickly asked about the losses. "How many people were lost?"

When mentioning this, Hauge's rough face suddenly became embarrassed. "Father Khan, the sea was surging and everyone was busy running for their lives."

"Speak." Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes and said with a startling momentum, "How much?"

"Yuetuo calculated that there may be 20,000 people who have not returned." Seeing that his father Khan's breathing paused, Haoge hurriedly explained, "He also said that many people have run away and will return one after another in the future."

"There should be some." Huang Taiji thought for a moment, but shook his head again. "The Ming army will definitely chase us. It's hundreds of miles from Daling River to Shenyang City. Those who can come back alive... Forget it, just consider it half."

Hauge lowered his head and said nothing.

The sudden natural disaster attacked the Jin soldiers on the coast, who accounted for two-thirds of the total force.

Although most people managed to escape thanks to their fast horses, their morale had been destroyed and they had lost their organizational ability, becoming a fleeing army like frightened birds.

Chen Ran had already occupied the main camp and sent Ming cavalry to hunt them down. They escaped and ran hundreds of miles back to Shenyang City. Only half of them were able to return, thanks to the blessings of our ancestors.

"Amin." After a while, Huang Taiji asked with a frown, "Where?" It was obvious that Hauge's political sensitivity was not up to par and he did not understand what his father meant. "I haven't seen him."

"Alas." Huang Taiji sighed, "Ask Oboi to come in."

"Oh."

Soon, the young and burly Aobai got on the carriage and saluted, "Your servant Aobai."

"Go and do something." Huang Taiji said without further ado, "Take the white armor of the Zhenghuang Banner and rush back to Shenyang City at all costs. Don't enter the city, just guard outside the city. If Amin goes back..."

At this point, Huang Taiji's eyes darkened and he said, "Behead him immediately!"

Oboi did not hesitate at all and kowtowed vigorously, "I obey your orders!"

"Do you know why?" After Oboi left, Huang Taiji began to educate his eldest son.

It was obvious that Hauge didn't understand.

"Aming and I are the only ones left out of the four great beiles. After this disastrous defeat, no matter what Aming thinks, he will completely tear his face off and threaten my position." Huang Taiji patiently explained to his son, "It would be best if he is swallowed by the waves. If he is still alive, he must be disposed of. Don't think about anything else at this time, just think about how to gain power."

"After getting rid of Amin, the remaining people, no matter how dissatisfied they are, are just a pile of loose sand and can be easily divided and subdued."

Huang Taiji, aware of his physical condition, was busy teaching his eldest son experience: "Remember, win over the less powerful to use for your own benefit, and attack the powerful and share the spoils!"

"twitter."

After coughing twice, Huang Taiji asked again, "Who else hasn't come back?"

"Dodo hasn't come back either."

Hearing this name, Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes immediately.

Sun Chengzong, riding his horse at full speed, finally arrived at the city of Dalinghhe Fort.

Looking at the Ming army flags fluttering in the wind in the camp, his heart finally settled down.

After learning that Zhang Chun had sent troops on his own and ended up in defeat, Sun Chengzong almost had a heart attack and collapsed in his chair.

That was all the mobile forces of Liaozhen, and they were destroyed in just one battle?

Moreover, the troops of Dongjiang Town are still following up. If they are attacked by defeated soldiers and are taken advantage of by the Tartars, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Sun Chengzong wanted to die at that time.

He was afraid that if Chen Ran's Dongjiang Town also suffered a disastrous defeat, the Tartars would take advantage of the situation to sweep through Dalinghhe Fort, Songshan Fort, Jinzhou, and Ningyuan, and would march to Shanhaiguan. By then, the Ming Dynasty, with all its elite troops lost, would have no way to resist the Tartars from approaching the capital again.

I must be a sinner in history!

The few black hairs I had to begin with turned completely white overnight.

Fortunately, good news came on the third day. Chen Ran led the army of Dongjiang Town and defeated the main force of the Tartars!

Upon receiving the news, Sun Chengzong first breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurried to the front line.

He was eager to know how the battle was fought on the front line.

Not long after entering the camp, he stopped in surprise and doubt.

About ten steps away, a group of people were being pushed to the ground by soldiers, obviously preparing for execution.

Sun Chengzong had seen many such things. It was nothing more than a violation of military law. It was a common occurrence in the army and he should not have interfered.

But this time it was different, he knew all those people.

"Lord? Lord!" When the people who were tied up saw Sun Chengzong, it was as if they saw the hope of survival. They cried and shouted, "Help, Lord! Chen Ran is planning a rebellion~~~"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Chengzong was shocked.

He quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

"Lord~" The leader who was held on the ground cried and begged, "That warrior is planning a rebellion~~~"

"Zhang Chun." Sun Chengzong stepped forward and looked at him. "Speak clearly. What do you mean by treason? Can you just say that casually?!"

The people being held captive were the civil and military officials who were captured by the Tatars after the Liaozhen reinforcements were defeated.

The leader was Zhang Chun, the military supervisor of Jinzhou, who was deliberately cultivated by Sun Chengzong.

"That warrior wants to kill me!" Zhang Chun, with obvious marks of a slap on his face, wailed continuously, "He wants to kill the civil officials, that's a rebellion~~~"

Sun Chengzong's face immediately turned dark.

He thought Chen Ran really had some rebellious intentions and was so scared that he almost had a heart attack.

Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding.

"Zhang Chun!" Sun Chengzong shouted with a dark face, "I clearly told you to hold on and wait for reinforcements, why did you send out troops without authorization?"

"You don't know, Mr. Pavilion." Zhang Chun argued, "It was the Tartars who took the initiative to attack, and the bombardment and human charge were difficult to resist."

"The elder is here?" Chen Ran, who learned the news, came over with a group of generals.

"Zihou." Sun Chengzong, regardless of his age, quickly stepped forward and grasped his hand, shaking it emotionally, "Thanks to you, the Ming Dynasty was saved!"

"I am doing this to save the people of the Ming Dynasty from being slaughtered, not for the Ming Dynasty, and certainly not for the scum of civil servants like Zhang Chun." Chen Ran complained in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face. "This is what we should do."

After chatting for a while, Sun Chengzong said with some embarrassment, "Zhang Chun and his men lost the battle and their army is dead. How about taking them to the capital and handing them over to the three courts for trial?"

Chen Ran's smile became more friendly. He let go of Sun Chengzong's hand and simply shook his head.

"No. They must die. No one's pleas will help. I say that!"
