1043 Dying

Zhenjiang Fort is not far from Yalu River. Denglai Governor Lu Xiangsheng finally chose the Qing Dynasty grain protection team to rob grain not far from Zhenjiang Fort. The main reason is to facilitate evacuation. As long as the grain protection team is not allowed to escape back to the city, that's fine. As for the local Qing army in the city, haha, the elite troops of the Qing Dynasty are not afraid, but are they still afraid of these local troops?

About an hour in the afternoon, the Ming cavalry had arrived at the Yalu River. On the shore that had been agreed in advance, he saw the Denglai Naval Division fleet that had been waiting here. Ajige never thought that through the conversation between Zheng Zhiwan and Wei Mulan in the chat group, the Ming and the land armies cooperated very well.

I saw that the fleet was already lined up in a very long formation on the Yalu River. The shore was suitable for docking, and there were only two ships at a time. At this time, it was already parked on the shore, and the simple bridge was ready to be there. As soon as the grain transport team arrived, the Ming soldiers immediately ordered the surrendered Han army Eight Banners to drive the grain trucks to the transport ships immediately.

The eight banners of the surrendered Han army were all surprised on their faces. How could the Ming army's navy appear here, and there are so many? Also, these Ming army transport ships can actually drive up the grain trucks, which are obviously specially modified. Could it be that these transport ships were prepared to rob the Qing Dynasty grain trucks?

This time, they guessed it right. The Ming army robbed the Qing Dynasty's grain trucks in succession, and then they were often transported away by the navy. After a few times, they found that the battle to rob the grain was often caught off guard by the Qing army, which was easier to succeed, but loading grain on board was more troublesome and often took a long time to delay. Therefore, the Denglai Navy specially transformed the transport ship, which could rush the grain truck to get on board directly, and then unload the livestock that pulled the truck, and then complete the loading of the grain truck as quickly as possible.

The transport ship was filled with a pile and drove away without escorting the warship. On this sea, the Ming army was the world of the Ming army. The Qing Dynasty had no boat, so I felt very at ease. Whether it was the grain trucks on board or the transport ship docking, they were all in order and without any confusion. None of the soldiers of the Denglai Navy or the Ming army soldiers on the shore had an impatient and panic expression, as if they were not in the area controlled by the enemy. People who did not understand the inside story would definitely think that they were in the Ming Dynasty and were so calm.

However, Lu Xiangsheng commanded the army and naturally would not underestimate the enemy. The infantry guarded a large circle on the shore, and the cavalry were all scattered to block the Jianlu's spy on the horse. As for the Xinyizhou side on the other side, the cavalry was not convenient to pass by, so they were casual. Anyway, the floating bridge on the river had been destroyed by the navy, and the Qing army on the Xinyizhou side could only stare at it.

A small boat rushed over from the east bank and came ashore under the Lu Xiangsheng's flag. It was Li Deming who returned to the team. He took out a head and said, "Master Zhongcheng, this is the messenger sent by the Qing Dynasty to North Korea, and has been intercepted by his subordinates."

Letting Li Deming on the east coast intercept the messenger was just a supplement to the entire war. In fact, it would not have much impact. With the Denglai Navy, even if the floating bridge was not destroyed, could the Qing army still pass through the Yalu River safely under the attack of the navy soldiers?

Lu Xiangsheng nodded after hearing this and asked Li Deming to rest. He still worked hard all the way with the Manqing Grain Protection Team. Looking at the busyness of the river on the shore, Wei Mulan on the side said happily: "Maybe the evacuation can be completed before dark?"

"Absolutely, as long as there is no accident, everything can be completed as planned!" Lu Xiangsheng was in a good mood after hearing this, nodded and responded.

We made careful combat deployments in advance, and even provided many details by specialists. According to the emperor, these are called combat staff. Some of them calculate the distance, think about the various situations that may be encountered during the transportation of grain trucks and give solutions; some are familiar with the hydrological situation of the Yalu River and give the best loading location and plan; some are estimated the possible response methods of the Qing army and provide solutions to Lu Xiangsheng, and some are familiar with the situation of the Qing army around them. There are several situations to analyze the reinforcements of the Qing army...

All these situations were eventually gathered in the hands of the Governor Denglai who was commanding the war, allowing Lu Xiangsheng to make decisions based on his own situation easily and eventually form an effective combat plan. Judging from the results of the implementation, it is indeed good. This so-called approach to staff made Lu Xiangsheng secretly amazed.

Although there are similar situations at this time or for a long time. These staff members are actually staff members. But in comparison, these staff members are all soldiers in the army who are familiar with their own responsibility, or can consciously grasp this situation, which can effectively reduce the head coach's inadequate consideration. According to the emperor, this staff member is far more professional than the staff!

Nowadays, this kind of staff system is only included in the new army. Lu Xiangsheng is already considering it. It is better to set up such a system in the Dongjiang army when looking back.

While he was thinking, he heard Wei Mulan suddenly sighing: "The Qing army is getting worse and worse, and Liaodong will probably be liberated soon!"

This battle was much easier than expected in advance. You should know that from the information you have mastered, there are two thousand elite Jurchens among the three thousand grain protection teams. However, they still collapsed in one blow, and they basically did not have the ability to fight back!

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng turned to look at her and said with a smile: "Liaodong will definitely be restored, but we must remain vigilant against the Qing army and must not be careless."

Speaking of this, he seemed a little puzzled when he saw Wei Mulan, so he explained in detail: "The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were actually from veterans. They all had years of experience on the battlefield and should not be underestimated. The reason why we seem to be relatively relaxed every time we fight. The main reason is that the Qing Dynasty did not understand us!"

As Lu Xiangsheng said, he couldn't help but recall the repeated wars in his heart and said, "At the beginning, the Qing Dynasty always believed that our Ming army was still the former Ming army. They fought too smoothly before and underestimated the enemy in their thoughts. Later, after suffering several losses, they finally got an understanding of our Ming army, but this understanding was still not enough. They didn't know that our Ming army was getting stronger and stronger, and their understanding could not keep up with the strength of the Ming army, so they suffered losses again and again."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt very moved, and then said with admiration: "But the most important point is that with the emperor and you factory guards, our army can understand the situation of the Qing army clearly and take the initiative completely in the hands of our Ming army. We hit the Qing army again and again, making them hungry. When they realized that our Ming army was different now and attached great importance to it, the Qing army was so hungry that it could not launch a major war."

"Under the influence of such defeats, their most important mentality of daring to fight and fighting no longer exists. On the battlefield, they no longer have confidence and feel that they will definitely win the Ming army, and they even have fear of the Ming army. In this war, we suddenly attacked again, and Jianlu was not prepared at all, and we could not be prepared for it, so that we could win easily."

Listening to Lu Xiangsheng's detailed analysis, Wei Mulan recalled the war she had experienced and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. Lord Zhongcheng is worthy of being Lord Zhongcheng, and his analysis was too thorough. It was indeed the reason!

They were chatting here, but Ajige on the top of Zhenjiang Castle was like a needle and a ants on the hot pan, circling around the top of the city. At this time, the gates of Zhenjiang Castle were all opened. The bodies of the Qing soldiers outside the city had also been cleaned up. There was basically no good news on a fast horse riding in and out.

There are often fast horses returning in a mess, just like the one at the moment, with sweat and panic on his face, and he reported to Ajig: "Master Bell, the Ming cavalry is everywhere, and we can't get close to you at all. The team of slaves, only three people left to escape back."

Ajige thought about letting these horses go around the distance to investigate, but it was still useless. The Ming army had a large number of cavalrymen, and after scattering a large circle, he basically did not give Jianlu the opportunity to explore the horses.

"Master Beile, if it's dark, the Ming cavalry will definitely have omissions. Then the time will be found out about the Ming army's ships." The guard of Zhenjiang Fort advised Ajige, "There is so much food, the Ming army must not be transported away calmly. The last general will organize a group of dead soldiers to protect them while the night is covered, prepare more fire-driven objects, and sneak over to attack the Ming army's grain chariot fleet. As long as the fleet can be burned or destroyed, it will definitely delay the speed of the Ming army's withdrawal. In this way, our Qing Dynasty will have a chance!"

After hearing this, Ajige nodded immediately. Now this is the only way to do it.

At this moment, I saw dust flying in the distance of the official road, as if a large army was coming. At this time, the army coming again must be the Qing Dynasty's own army. Therefore, Ajige couldn't help but show a hint of relaxation on his face, and he was eager to lie on the top of the city, wanting to see which troops were coming to rescue him as soon as possible.

The fast horse arrived first, and the army from Tangzhanbao came, with only about one thousand, plus the gathered grain protection team defeated the total, only about one thousand three hundred. Ajige couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but it was better than not. When Ajige saw the soldiers who were as thin as ribs, he didn't even have the confidence to send them out. At most, he selected more dead soldiers from them and launched a larger attack at night.

However, there is also good news, that is, the farther side of Phoenix City is already organizing troops to rescue. There is a big city with a large number of troops and the troops sent are far from comparable to small castles like Tangzhan Fort. It is expected that if you march overnight, you will be able to arrive here at noon tomorrow. If you have a cavalry, you should be able to arrive late today.

This news really made Ajige feel relieved. If so much food, the last life-saving food of the Qing Dynasty was stolen by the Ming army, not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, just the food, Huang Taiji would probably have the heart to cut him alive. He could not bear this responsibility no matter what.

Now that night, the dead soldiers will go to harass and destroy first, and then wait until tomorrow during the day, when reinforcements arrive and attack again, there is still hope of regaining some of the food. Thinking of this, Azige ordered again: "The Ming munitions are sharp, and the sashes built must be strong, and the quilts must be added to a few more beds. Benbeile doesn't believe it. The Ming army's muskets can penetrate these sashes again!"

Cars have always been one of the effective means for the Qing army to deal with Ming munitions, not to mention that this Ming army did not have cannons. As long as the car is thicker, it can definitely cover the Qing army to fight near the Ming army. Once the close forces are connected, the advantages of the Ming munitions will be lost. Only in such a war can there be hope for winning!

The Zhenjiang Fort Guard naturally understood that although the supplies in Zhenjiang Fort City were limited and quilts were also scarce, he still agreed without hesitation and immediately went to the city to work on this matter. In the morning battle under the city, if there were sufficiently prepared carts, there would not be such heavy losses, and so many Qing warriors were killed or injured!

On the official road in North Korea, a fast horse was galloping. The war horse was already running fast, but the knight seemed not satisfied and was still urging him to try his best to increase the horse speed, hurry up, hurry up. This kind of galloping wildly without hesitation of horsepower would probably be dead. But the knight was still holding a horse, one person and two horses in his hand, obviously considering this situation.

Finally, the horse under his crotch seemed to be unable to do it. The knight did not hesitate at all, and he was also very good at riding. He jumped up and jumped to another war horse, and continued to "drive" to urge the horse to gallop. As expected, the horse he abandoned slowed down after being without the control of his master, and finally fell softly on the official road and whined.

Duoduo, who had been away for a day in advance, was not fast. After all, there were infantry troops in the army he was leading. In order to save food, he did not give him enough food, so he left even less quickly. But Duoduo didn't care, but was a little relaxed. This time, the food protection was a little unexpected. The Ming army did not appear and did not have the idea of ​​buying these foods. Fortunately, it did not come. Otherwise, if this batch of food was lost, North Korea would never be able to produce food. Even if there was no food in Japan, it would be possible to collect more food unless Japan could conquer more places and transport it to North Korea.

Thinking of his cautiousness along the way, Duoduo's mind flashed with contempt for him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret it. If he had known that Ming Jun would not come, he would not have to be so cautious. As a result, he was underestimated by this brother who was wearing a pair of pants with Huang Taiji.

He was thinking, suddenly there was a commotion behind the team, and there seemed to be a voice coming. This made Duoduo shudder. Could it be that the Ming army was coming?

But he immediately came to his senses and couldn't help but feel funny. He had no food on his side, so how could the Ming army appear?

At this moment, he finally heard the voice coming from behind: "The Ming army robbed the food and transported it to the Yalu River. Please come back to rescue immediately!"
