Chapter 1338: Fast horse

Qianhu's answer made Li Chen nod.

Everything seemed normal, so Li Chen didn't stay too much time on this matter.

"Follow the action of the three of them closely. Any matter, regardless of the size, must be reported on time every day."

After giving the order, Li Chen put down the news from the capital and took out another report.

This report comes from the Crescent Barrier Front.

There were two reports, one was delivered directly to Li Chen, and the other was submitted to the Commander's Office for military evaluation and discussion, and Su Zhenting wrote the handling opinions and then handed over to Li Chen.

Li Chen is very self-aware of the military professionalism. He asked him to tinker with muskets and grenades, but he was not as good as a half-baked man in the era of cold weapons. He should not interfere in military command randomly and know what the generals below are doing and what they plan to do.

Open the report and the content is very simple.

I am just saying one thing, that is, the war situation at Crescent Pass is very critical, and the current situation can last for up to ten days.

Moreover, as the Liao army's offensive became more intense, casualties at the Crescent Pass began to increase sharply.

Almost all the officers and soldiers were on the battlefield, and three squads fell to the ground and continued to let go, but even so, they still could not stop the increasingly fierce offensive of the Liao army.

There is nothing else, the difference in the strength comparison between the two armies is too huge.

At the bottom of the report, behind the shocking casualties, Wu Qingcang made two simple and straightforward requests.

Increase military support, and what is larger than the military gap is the gap in city defense materials.

This part of the gap has reached the point where Crescent Pass demolished almost all the buildings that can be demolished, and almost all the people, military and civilians have been squeezed to live in military camp tents.

Following the report was Su Zhenting's comments given by all three governments, including the Commander's Office, the Staff Office, and the Logistics Office, and all the comments given by senior generals in Beijing.

"There were more than 86,000 defenders in the Crescent Pass. After receiving support from the Liaodong Army, the total force had reached 100,000. Although the court did its best to support it, it was still difficult for the 600,000 cavalry of the Liao army."

"Although the support of Ganzhou and Shaanxi has been in place one after another, it is intermittent and there is suspicion of shirkness. Cheng Fuzhao, the governor of Ganzhou and Shaanxi, bluntly stated that Ganzhou and Shaanxi have done their best to support it. However, due to their own poverty and poverty, they are really unsustainable. They requested the court to reduce its support to the Crescent Pass. If it does not decrease, Ganzhou and Shaanxi will squeeze out the last drop of blood to rush to the Crescent Pass, but the time limit cannot be guaranteed..."

"I think that the danger at the Crescent Pass is no longer a local war, but should rise to a national war and a national war. I will send a letter to the northwest provinces. At present, the overall situation should be the priority and the military and the country should be the priority."

Li Chen had no expression on his face, and after closing the report, he slapped the report heavily.

The bang was dull, and the Jinyiwei Qianhu was so scared that he immediately knelt down.

"Governor General of Gansu and Shaanxi, Cheng Fuzhao!"

Li Chen sneered and asked the Qianhu: "How many days will it take to go to Haojing, Ganzhou-Shaanxi Province?"

The thousand households did not dare to hesitate and immediately replied: "If one person and one horse, the fast horse will whip day and night, it will be available in five days. If the convoy moves forward and does not stop halfway, it will take as fast as seven days."

"Seven days."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes and asked again: "How many days will it take for Haojing to go to Jincheng where King Ning is?"

"It can be reached in one day with a quick horse."
