Chapter 28 Goal - Uiju City

He clearly remembered that when the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese in later generations, live-fire training was seriously inadequate due to lack of ammunition.

Even with a weapon with an ultra-long range like a rifle, in order to ensure the hit rate and not waste precious bullets, the Eighth Route Army also has strict discipline and does not shoot at enemies less than 30 meters away.

In comparison, the crossbow in his hand, which seems to be somewhat crudely made, can reach an effective range of thirty or forty meters. Why would Guo Dajing be dissatisfied?

Not shooting for thirty meters, what kind of strong psychological quality and brave spirit is this? What kind of iron discipline is this?

Guo Dajing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that if he could train such an army, even with swords and spears, he could destroy the Jianlu and level Liaodong.

In the final analysis, the human factor is the most important thing. The Guan Ning Army is like this. It has better weapons and equipment than the Dongjiang Army, and more food and pay than the Dongjiang Army. It is not a city guarding dog.

At noon on the day when the Jianlu were repelled, the leading troops of the reinforcements arrived, consisting of five hundred cavalry. In the evening, thousands of infantry led by Chen Jisheng also arrived at Longchuan.

The march was quite fast. This was due to the influence of the tides of the Yellow Sea. The lower reaches of the Yalu River to the estuary rarely experienced large-scale ice formation in winter.

The location chosen by Jianlu to attack the dynasty was in Yizhou, which was nearly 80 miles away from the mouth of the river. It was common for the river to freeze in winter, which was convenient for Jianlu to cross the ice to enter the dynasty.

If even the lower reaches of the Yalu River and its entrance to the sea could be frozen, the Jianlu troops sent out from Zhenjiang to attack Tieshan would be quick and sudden, and simply impossible to prevent.

You must know that the Yalu River was still very wide at that time, and a hundred years later, a large ship of 300 tons could still be driven.

Moreover, some of the alluvial islands downstream and at the mouth of the sea have not yet been formed, and some are still very small, making it difficult to cross without a boat.

Chen Jisheng led thousands of troops to join Zhang Pan's troops, entered the empty city of Longchuan, stopped temporarily, and immediately held a military meeting.

Zhang Pan first gave a detailed report, explaining that the Jianlu who pursued them were the defenders of Yizhou. After their defeat, they lost at least more than three hundred people.

"That is to say, there are less than 700 captives left to defend the city in Yizhou now?" Chen Jisheng's eyes brightened, and his confidence increased a bit, and he praised: "General Zhang led his army to attack Longchuan and severely damaged Yizhou.

He built the state and made outstanding achievements."

After Zhang Pan said a few words of humility, Chen Jisheng pointed to the two people beside him and introduced: "These two are Korean martyrs who came from Yiju to contact us. They have important information to inform our army."

These two Koreans were sent by Cui Xiaoyi and Zheng Fengshou to report the news to Pi Island. They met Chen Jisheng's team on the way, which saved them a lot of time.

After hearing the intelligence from the Korean martyrs, all the generals were excited. Not only did the rebels in Uiju lose their troops, but they also had internal support to cooperate, which greatly increased their confidence in attacking Uiju.

Only Liu Xingzuo looked calmer, with his eyelids slightly lowered and silent.

Zhang Pan was a little strange and glanced at Liu Xingzuo.

Realizing Zhang Pan's gaze, Liu Xingzuo raised his head slightly, smiled bitterly at Zhang Pan, and whispered: "If Yizhou is not attacked, Cui Xiaoyi in the city can still move freely. If my army besieges Xin

How can Jianlu not take strict precautions against those who surrender?"

After a pause, Liu Xingzuo continued: "Although there is no risk of death, strict supervision is certain. Jianlu is good at using his time, so he should not be negligent."

Zhang Pan nodded slightly and agreed.

Regardless of where you are, if you are defending the city by yourself and the enemy invades in large numbers, you must control the unrest.

However, Liu Xingzuo knew that his position in the Dongjiang Army was embarrassing, so he did not pour cold water on him in public.

Zhang Pan felt helpless, and suggested to Chen Jisheng: "The general thinks that we can send sentinels to Yizhou first, not only to meet up with the Korean volunteers, but also to conduct reconnaissance and spying first. Even if there is an accident and we are unable to help our army, we can still choose

Where the city's defenses are weak, carry out a strong attack."

Chen Jisheng looked at Zhang Pan and thought for a while, and felt that this was a normal action, so he nodded and said: "General Zhang has thought carefully, and as you said, he will immediately send a sentry to follow the Korean martyrs and rush to Yizhou."

Zhang Pan bowed his hands to express his gratitude, and then continued: "A certain subordinate, the flag officer Guo Dajing, is not here at night, and the flag officer Zhou Qing is sent to scout. They are more familiar with the terrain, so we can send them ahead."

"Yes!" Chen Jisheng smiled and nodded. This small request was not too much. It was considered as encouragement for Zhang Pan's successive successes.

Raising his eyebrows, Chen Jisheng thought of something and asked, "Ye Bu Shu Guo Dajing, someone seems to have heard of this name."

Zhang Pan replied respectfully: "The accurate information about Jianlu's attack on the DPRK and the attack on Tieshan was obtained by the joint reconnaissance of Guo Dajing, Zhou Qing and others. In addition, Guo Dajing also killed Jianlu's capture of Tulu Xi and the attack on Long

Sichuan is also the first to climb."

"Tulu Xi——" Lushun guerrilla Li Weiluan was surprised and happy, and said in a voiceless voice: "Dead?!"

The surprise on Guanglu Island guerrilla Shang Kexi's face flashed away, and he laughed and said: "Good death, this Tulushi has been full of evil after all. In other words, this Guo, Guo Xiaoqi, can kill Tulushi, he is really ruthless

hand."

Almost all the generals knew about this Tulushi, which shows how harmful this guy was. When they heard that he had been killed, they all talked happily.

"Yes, yes." Chen Jisheng suddenly said: "Shuai Mao mentioned once that the accurate intelligence this time prevented our army from being passive. Guo Xiaoqi, the Dongjiang athlete under General Zhang, played an important role."

Zhang Pan had a sincere smile on his face, Guo Dajing flattered him, and he did not hesitate to mention it in front of the generals and praise him.

"Time is tight, so I'll send Guo Xiaoqi and others to set off immediately." Chen Jisheng pressed his hand downwards, and when the discussion subsided, he said with a smile: "When this battle is over, I will see General Zhang's brave Ye Bushou again.

.”

…………………..

The crescent moon hung high in the gray sky, the cold and biting wind blew on my face, and there were several thick clouds rolling in the sky around my body.

A group of people and horses trudged in the windy night, sometimes running on the road, sometimes climbing over mountains and forests, heading towards Yiju.

"After defeating Longchuan, we stopped Jianlu." Zhou Qing showed a tired look on his face, and there was a bit of complaint in his tone, "Now we have to attack Yizhou. We are the hardest and most tiring."

Liu Qishi smiled and became familiar with Guo Dajing, Zhou Qing and others. He said jokingly: "The capable ones work hard. Who gave us such a strong hand as the Dajing brothers? General Zhang values ​​​​the most and trusts them the most."

As he said that, he pursed his lips and let Zhou Qing look at Guo Dajing's slightly stiff figure on the horse, and said: "It turns out that Brother Dajing is not good at it, which makes me feel a lot better."

Zhou Qing laughed and pointed: "Dajing, relax your body. Horses are human beings. If you can't let go, they will be nervous."
