Chapter 338: Places where the sun cannot shine

After a soldier cheered, he asked timidly: "Empression, have we cleared our innocence?"

Staying at Wulongchuan Beach these two days, not to mention anything else, just how heavy the psychological burden will be!

Zheng Lang laughed in his heart. This battle was beyond the plan. He was originally transferred to them to come over to make them feel ashamed and brave. Even without this battle, he did not want to punish them and said, "Please count, you have made contributions to this battle, and I will report it to the emperor."

The soldiers cheered even more.

They didn't know what Zheng Lang thought, but they were worried that the soldiers left by Mikawaguchi were wiped out and the court would deal with them. Since the top scholar reported to the court, he would not mention his achievements, and he would be ashamed of mentioning them, at least he would not punish them.

Suddenly, an old soldier knelt down in the direction of Wulongchuan Beach, howling and cried, and more soldiers all started to cry.

"Kuanfu, this is the real soldier in my dynasty," Zheng Lang said to Wen Yanbo, his eyes were also a little wet at this time.

Wen Yanbo said nothing for a long time.

Even though he looked down on the military soldiers, the soldiers' wailing at this moment touched him a little.

After they vented their grief and anger, Zheng Lang ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, buried the bodies of comrades, and prepared to enter Yanzhou City.

If you don’t enter Yanzhou City again, it’s not bravery, it’s stupid.

Another part of the people was drawn and asked them to interrogate the more than 100 prisoners they caught. Zheng Lang was extremely angry and said, "No matter what method you use."

Even if you are afraid of cutting Xiao JJ, you won’t blame me, as long as you can ask for information.

No one cut off the little jj, but several soldiers cut the face of a prisoner who looked very high in rank to pieces to the point of blood for interrogation.

I got some information in a while.

They were garrisons left in Hengshan, and there were many troops stationed in each village in Hengshan. Even if Ye Li Wangrong failed in this battle, it would be difficult to capture the Hengshan villages.

Zheng Lang automatically ignored this piece of information, and Yanzhou and the Security Army could no longer defend it, and they still counterattacked the Hengshan camps. Is this function greedy?

However, when many people heard the name Yeli Wangrong, they were stunned. Not only Zheng Lang knew, but some soldiers also knew that this person was a brave general of the names of Western Xia. Zheng Lang was a little disappointed and did not make any special preparations for this person.

I don’t know if the ambush from Qiaozigu can catch this person.

There are also some terrain and number of soldiers in each village. Zheng Lang did not pay attention to the number of soldiers, so this would be constantly mobilized, but the terrain of each village was carefully recorded with a pen. Yuan Hao built more than 300 forts in Hengshan, and Zheng Lang only obtained information about more than a dozen forts from these people. But it was better than that.

The biggest gain was to get news from Liu Ping from a Xixia general.

On that day, Liu Ping's several big villages were quickly captured under Yuan Hao's crazy attack. Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun were arrested one after another. Yuan Hao threatened and tempted, first using high officials and generous salaries to lure them, and later using torture to question them. The two of them remained unyielding and scolded Yuan Hao, a dog thief, why don't you kill me?

Yuan Hao had no choice but to go all the way and tried it. Finally, he left the Tumen and did not ask them any more and took them back to Lingzhou. Anyway, he also withdrew, and it lost its meaning to extract information from Liu Ping's mouth.

Zheng Lang was sweating coldly. Fortunately, the two of them were brave. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable once they confessed. Yuan Hao knew that Yanzhou and the Security Army had no troops and would definitely attack forcibly. The two cities lost one, and Yuan Hao received a large amount of logistics supply, which was unimaginable in the entire northwest.

But the battle between Mikawaguchi was basically restored.

Only the performances of the officials in Yanzhou City were left, and there was no inventory.

Lead the soldiers across the river and set out towards Yanzhou City.

Poor Fan Yong continued to stand on the top of the city and looked at it, his body trembling constantly.

When he saw an army from afar, he was dizzy and couldn't tell the difference. His subordinates reminded him that it was Zheng Lang's army.

Hurry down to greet the city.

"How about Xingzhi?"

"I won, but the war has not ended. There is still a fierce battle between Hashikoya."

"That's good, that's good." Winning and defeat don't matter. Anyway, there is a big defeat in the previous game, and another small defeat doesn't matter. It's important that the young man in front of him cannot have an accident, otherwise he will die this time.

The sky is getting darker.

Zheng Lang ordered to go to the city to rest.

When the people of Yanzhou saw hundreds of soldiers entering the city, they calmed down after they felt a hung heart.

At dawn the next day, loud noise suddenly came from the city. Zheng Lang got up from the bed with a sleepy eyes and came to the street to see that it was Di Qing and others who came back, escorting many prisoners of war and horses.

Zheng Lang welcomed him.

Di Qing simply said the story.

Wang Xin and Shao Yuanjie arrived at Qiaozigu one after another. However, the two units could only withdraw less than 500 cavalrymen, so they still came together, and even less than 1,000 soldiers were aided by the two cities.

There was not much time left for Zheng Lang, and not much time left for Wang Xin. After hearing the scout's report, Wang Xin made a decision to divide the army into two, Shao Yuanjie was guarding the south of Qiaozigu, and he was guarding the north of Qiaozigu. The two armies were separated and ambushed in the mountains and forests, and the fleeing army in Yeliwangrong arrived.

The escape was very hard. Di Qing and Su Keqing led the cavalry and kept stinging. When they fled to Qiaozi Valley, there were only more than a thousand troops left.

Suddenly, Shao Yuanjie led the cavalry out, which undoubtedly made the worse.

At that time, all Yeli Wangrong's subordinates were in chaos, some of them lost their direction and ran around.

Yeli Wangrong led the way and barely fought out a bloody path and fled to the north of Gu.

Wang Xin led his army to block the way.

There is also the knowledge of blocking. From the tail, the resistance is the least. Because there is vitality in the front, the enemy will not resist, but choose to escape. This is the reason why three surrounds and one surrounds in the military book. From the middle, resistance will increase, but the enemy in the front continues to escape, and there is no assistance in the rear. If you surrender, you will surrender and resist. From the front, you can kill the enemy to the greatest extent, but you lose your vitality and have the strongest resistance.

Shao Yuanjie led the army to cut in from the middle.

Wang Xin originally wanted to cut in from the front of the middle, and then saw the enemy situation, so he made a gamble and Yu Zheng stopped the enemy in front.

After a tragic battle, Yeli Wangrong was able to lead only five or six hundred soldiers to break through the siege.

At this time, the person with the greatest official position was not Di Qing, but Wang Xin. Wang Xin took over the command and asked Shao Yuanjie and Di Qing to search for the scattered fugitives. He and Su Keqing led their troops to continue chasing.

The reason for this is that I want to give Zheng Lang's subordinates more opportunities to make contributions.

He chased after Luguan, not far from Xixia's control area, Wang Xin stopped.

But Yeli Wangrong had only about two hundred people around him, and he was killed miserably. In fact, more than that, some of the fleeing Xixia troops could escape the heavy searches of the Song army, but they could still escape back. However, there were not many people around. Since they stayed, they were all unwilling to surrender to Yuanhao's Qiang households. These fled men were very fierce and had no choice but to encounter the army. Like these fleeing soldiers, they had family feuds and blood, they would definitely assist the Song Dynasty in carrying out a second kill.

In short, Yeli Wangrong will lose at least 3,000 people and horses this time, and nearly 2,000 war horses were intercepted, most of which were not seriously injured, and once they were raised, they could still go to the battlefield.

I regretfully did not capture Ye Li Wangrong, otherwise I would have at least exchanged for Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun for Yuanhao.

It's pretty good, let's leave this person to Zhong Shiheng.

Zheng Lang cleansed them and wrote the fourth memorial.

Yanzhou officials have neglected their duties and have not inquire about it for the time being, but Mikawaguchi has described it in detail.

Although Liu Ping was captured, his performance did not disappoint. Zheng Lang deliberately described what consequences would be if he surrendered, otherwise many of the big men in the court would not understand.

Then I wrote some other things.

First of all, the village soldiers. Your Majesty, don’t blame me for violating the system. The border between Fuyan Road and Xixia is 100 miles long, but the total number of troops can be mobilized is only 10,000. This time, Xixia sent 3,500 soldiers. If 30,000 to 40,000 people are sent, it will not be able to defend it at all.

The reinforcements of the imperial court were not there for a long time, so I could only ignore the system, open a warehouse, take money, silk and weapons, arm ten thousand Fanzi locally, as village soldiers, and protect the safety of Fuyan Road.

The memorial soon arrived in the capital. When Zhao Zhen saw Zheng Lang describe the soldiers kneeling down on Wulongchuan Beach and crying bitterly, Zhao Zhen also cried in the Secretariat.

The prime ministers remained silent. Although Zheng Lang made contributions, he was far less tragic than Liu Ping. Think about it, how did the 1,000 soldiers resist the attacks of more than 100,000 enemy troops for several days?

Too miserable.

Shortly after Zheng Lang's memorial was sent away, Sun Quanbin arrived with the edict, and the Ming Dynasty ordered Zheng Lang to worship the sacrificed soldiers on behalf of Zhao Zhen.

The other is a series of rewards, mainly Zhaopin's warriors and martyrs who fought bloody battles in several villages, but another reward made Zheng Lang feel strange and promoted Lu Shouqin to the commander of Fuyan.

Zheng Lang asked, "What credit does Lu Shouqin have to take on this position?"

Sun Quanbin whispered: "Lu Shouqin reported to Yanzhou Tongzhi Zhiyongzhang, the chief supervisor Li Kangbo refused to execute the order. When Yanzhou was besieged, he initially ignored the national safety and persuaded everyone to abandon Yanzhou and withdraw from the security of Fuzhou. The emperor was angry and there would be an edict coming down soon, punishing Yan Zhang and Li Kangbo."

Zheng Lang snorted coldly.

Yanzhou officials have not interrogated them so far, and are waiting for this moment.

This is not the case in reality.

Yanzhou City was surrounded by seven days and seemed brave. In fact, Yuan Hao did not want to seize Yanzhou City at all because the people of Xixia were not good at siegeing the city.

The reason for siege is to siege the points and attack the aid.

After defeating Liu Ping's army, Yuan Hao also wanted to take down Yanzhou City, so this expedition would be even more successful. So he led all the more than 100,000 troops from Sanchuankou to the city of Yanzhou. Lu Shouqin, who was an eunuch, was afraid and cried at Fan Yongdao, and then suggested that Li Kangbo go out of the city to ask for peace with Yuanhao.

It is false to say that seeking peace is to be prepared to offer the city and surrender thieves.

Li Kangbo said: "You can die, but you can't go out of the city to see the thief."

At the beginning, Li Kangbo, the chief supervisor, also made a series of mistakes, but this time he was very clear-headed.

Fan Yong was helpless, which meant that he was moved!

Fortunately, I was not completely moved, so I asked Tongzong Ji Yongzhang for advice. Ji Yongzhang said: "I have advised my husband to repair the city wall and be prepared for it. My husband refused to listen. Now I have to serve the country with death. Unfortunately, the young and old in the city will die tragically with us. My husband is sorry to the emperor and the people."

Not only was Yanzhou City not yet built, but also Fuzhou City not yet built. Peace has been passed down for a long time, and both heavy city walls have serious problems.

Ji Yongzhang only talked about one aspect. The Yanzhou city wall was intact, so Liu Ping would not be very worried, nor would he have to hurry up, and there would not even be a tragic battle between Sanchuan and the mouth.

It was not until Yuan Hao withdrew his troops that Fan Yong began to repair the Yanzhou city walls.

What good way can you do? Fight and prepare to fight for the country by death and serve the country and the emperor.

Fan Yong had no choice but to let the people in the city put on armor, hold spears, and stand on the city wall with the only hundreds of soldiers as suspicious soldiers. He also kowtowed a few times to Jialing Mountain outside Yanzhou City, begging the gods of Jialing Mountain to bless the people in this city.

The Yuanhao army outside the city was resting, and the battle between Sanchuankou was in a difficult situation. If you want to recover your physical strength and morale, you can only prepare to attack the city the next day.
