Zhang Zhun looked at him with bright eyes and said coldly: "Can you do it?"

Song Degang said firmly: "If you can't do it, you kill my brother's head!"

Zhang Zhun said: "Okay! I'm totally for your sake!"

Song Degang said: "Everyone has agreed in person, there is no fiction!"

After saying that, he took out a so-called guarantee letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Zhun for a look. Zhang Zhun took it in confusion and found that on this top-secret guarantee letter, there were the signatures of five people Liu Zeqing, Zeng Hualong, Sun Zhixue, Du Shengyuan and Song Degang. They all agreed to recommend Zhang Zhun as the commander of Aoshan Guard and Laizhou Guerrilla.

As for the commander of Lingshan Guard, it is impossible to be appointed explicitly. After all, it is impossible for a person to serve as the commander of two guards. However, they can default to the established facts and let Zhang Zhun "temporarily" and "manage" Lingshan Guard. Anyway, the writing skills of the Ming Dynasty were very particular. There is room for thinking about the meaning between the lines. No one said that when the temporary period was to be, and he was tacitly informed.

Brigadier General Zhang put away his promise letter and said slowly: "Since that's the case, let me tell you in detail about the battle."

Song Degang sighed again, sighed from the bottom of his heart, and said sourly: "Brother Yulin, it's really hard to describe it. It's really embarrassing!"

Originally, the officers and soldiers were indeed full of confidence in taking Tianheng Island. The Tartars on Tianheng Island had been severely damaged by Zhang Zhun and had little combat power. However, in order to cause a sensation, the Dengzhou Camp still dispatched 5,000 officers and soldiers, including Du Shengyuan, 3,000 Song Degang, and 3,000 Liu Zeqing who drew from the 12th Navy Battalion, a total of 8,000 people.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhun asked meaningfully: "Old Song, do you really have eight thousand people? Or are there only three thousand? Two thousand?"

He deeply suspected that according to the consistent tradition of the Ming army, there was at least 3,000 of the eight thousand people, and at least 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled. If there were three thousand people, it would be very good. Even only two thousand was not impossible. The water here was too deep.

Song Degang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said bitterly: "Brother Yulin, this time it's not so outrageous. Du Shengyuan and I have a total of about 4,000 people, and the sailors are about 2,000, always 6,000 people, and the actual number is 6,000."

Zhang Zhun nodded casually.

It is rare to send 8,000 troops, but actually 6,000 troops.

Song Degang continued to say that the officers and soldiers' actions this time were quite fast, because everyone felt that after being severely damaged, the Tartars could already be kneaded at will. Victory is just around the corner, and the reward is visible. In order to compete for merit, everyone's actions were much faster than ordinary military operations. The commanders of each battalion even sharpened their heads and wanted to participate in the war.

After the officers and soldiers surrounded Tian Hengdao heavily, they immediately launched an attack. Several battalions sent elite troops to take turns to attack, trying to grab the Tartars' head first. Unexpectedly, the Tartars on Tian Hengdao were quite tenacious in counterattacks. The Tartars seemed to have eyes, were outrageously accurate and had strong lethality. As long as they were shot, they basically had no chance of survival. The officers and soldiers lost a lot of people on the first day of attack, all of whom were elites from each battalion.

In addition, there are machine traps everywhere on Tianheng Island, which also makes the officers and soldiers very troubled. The machine traps arranged by the Tartars are really too vicious. Some traps are never expected. Some traps take the lives of several officers and soldiers at one time. In one day, there are three or four hundred officers and soldiers killed by these traps intermittently.

Due to the unsuccessful attack, the morale of the officers and soldiers began to decline again. The original dream gradually disappeared, and all that was left was complaining. The morale of the army was fluctuating and war-weary aroused. Liu Zeqing had to go to the front line in person to mobilize and inspire the soldiers. After promising a pleasing reward, the officers and soldiers launched an attack again. This time, the Tartars' resistance was not so fierce. They gave up a few key defensive points and took the initiative to retreat.

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "Old Song, the Tartars retreated without fighting, there is a problem."

Song Degang said with a wry smile: "There is indeed a problem, but it is still a big problem... But we only found out afterwards, alas! Damn, it's so frustrating!"

The Tartars took the initiative to retreat, and of course the officers and soldiers chased after him. As a result, they came to an open space and found that there were many corpses lying on the ground. There were some gold and silver jewelry in the middle of the corpse, which seemed to be caused by internal fire. Seeing these gold and silver jewelry, the officers and soldiers immediately fought and fought hard for this. As a result, they alarmed the lords who were supervising the battle behind, and everyone went to the front to see what was going on.

Yang Wenyue also went to the front to watch the battle, and suppressed the fight between the officers and soldiers. At this time, the Tartars around him retreated, and he was not worried about any danger. Liu Zeqing and others did not notice any danger. Suddenly, a blood-covered corpse jumped up and grabbed Yang Wenyue. The officers and soldiers around him wanted to rescue him, but it was too late. The Tartars held Yang Wenyue away, and they could only watch and could do nothing. That's it, Yang Wenyue was captured alive.

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "What are Yang Wenyue's personal soldiers doing?"

Song Degang could only smile bitterly, helplessly. What did Yang Wenyue's personal soldiers do? Of course they went to grab gold and silver jewelry. Who was not moved when they saw such a situation? Who knew that there were living people in the pile of corpses? In the past, everyone only knew that the Tartars were cruel, but they did not expect that the Tartars were so cunning.

Zhang Zhun pursed his lips and did not continue to sarcasm.

The quality of officers and soldiers is like that. If the quality is better, the Tartars could not be arrogant at all. Looking at the wars in the 17th century, the Ming army and the Qing army were not stronger than anyone else, but who was worse than anyone else! In the end, the less bad Qing army defeated the worst Ming army and successfully entered the Central Plains. Compared with the Swedish and Prussian armies of the same period, it was simply ashamed.

Song Degang finally said: "That man called himself Obai..."

Zhang Zhun's eyes lit up,

Huh?

Oboi?

This guy is not simple!

Not to mention the escape from Aoshan City, in this case, he could still pretend to be dead and capture Yang Wenyue as a hostage. The series of actions can be afforded the words "having courage and knowledge". This Oboi is indeed a character! No wonder he can become an important official of the Qing Dynasty in the future. After Shublu was killed, this guy became the leader of the Tartars, and he really had some ability!

But, Oboi, don’t be arrogant!

I, Zhang Zhun, come to meet you!

Zhang Zhun stood up and paced back and forth.

Zhang Zhun had a plan for capturing Tianheng Island. The plan at that time was planned based on the military strength of the Tartars during their heyday. Now, the Tartars were severely damaged in Aoshan City and their troops were greatly weakened. There should be some losses in the past two days of battle. If you guessed correctly, Oboi should have reached the last moment. Therefore, Zhang Zhun had the confidence to win in occupying Tianheng Island.

The key to the problem is the damn Xiong Bao Yang Wenyue. Zhang Zhun was still unsure for a while. Should this guy come out vertically or horizontally? Whether it is death or life, there are pros and cons. He cannot measure which choice is better for a while. In terms of the difficulty of the battle, it is definitely the best that Xiong Bao and the Tartars will die together.

Song Degang's heart was shaking with Zhang Zhun's figure. All his hopes were placed on Zhang Zhun. Because he was too worried, cold sweat began to appear on his forehead again. Cold sweat and blood came out together, and he didn't bother to wipe it.

Fortunately, after a moment, Zhang Zhun stopped pace and said decisively: "You leave the food and all the gunpowder for me, and all the others will be removed! Go back wherever you come from! Don't wander in front of me!"

Song Degang said in confusion: "Then Yang Wenyue..."

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "After I rescue Yang Wenyue, I will send him to Laiyang, where you will pick him up. If he dies, the Tartars will not have any survivors. You come to Xiongya to collect his body."

Song Degang was still a little hesitant.

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Since you are worried, okay, you can lead fifty personal soldiers to stay! Whether Yang Wenyue is alive or dead, he will leave it to you! Everyone else will be withdrawn!"

Song Degang hurriedly said, "Okay!"

Immediately returned to the military camp and conveyed Zhang Zhun's decision and various requirements.

Liu Zeqing, Zeng Hualong, Sun Zhixie, Du Shengyuan and others were relieved when they heard that Zhang Zhun was willing to take action. As long as Zhang Zhun took action, Yang Wenyue would have hope of being rescued. Even if he could not save him, there would not be any Tartars alive.

"withdraw!"

Liu Zeqing immediately ordered.

Soon, all the officers and soldiers around Hokkaido Hokkaido Hokkaido were withdrawn. According to Zhang Zhun's request, they left all the food and gunpowder. After Yang Zhiyuan counted it, he found that the food was about 50,000 kilograms and the gunpowder was about 8,000 kilograms, which was quite good.

Zhang Zhun immediately asked someone to take all the food and gunpowder.

At the same time, Zhang Zhun issued an order to march towards Tianheng Island.

The Second Union and Fourth Union of the Guards, all the warships of the Fushan District Navy gathered in the direction of Tianheng Island, waiting for the order to attack. The First Union continued to guard Xiongya District, and the Fourth Union guarded Fushan City to prevent accidents.

Afterwards, Zhang Jun himself entered the southernmost military camp of Kaneshima Island.
Chapter completed!
