[Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!] 】
Before Huang Taiji set off, he also sent people to Korea and the three places of Jinju and Phi Dao.
The envoy sent to North Korea was to question the king of North Korea, Li Liang, on behalf of Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji wanted to learn the specific news of Li Zixiao from the North Korean side.
Huang Taiji guessed that if Li Zixiao really led his army to sea, he would inevitably find a supply place overseas, which would also serve as a springboard for him to launch an attack.
Then this place of supply, or this springboard, the best place, is North Korea.
After all, at this time, all the islands in the Liaodong Peninsula were controlled by the Tatars.
If Li Zixiao led the army to occupy any islands there, it is said that Huang Taiji should have gotten the news a long time ago.
If Huang Taiji had known early that Li Zixiao would lead his army to appear in the Liaohai Sea or near North Korea, Huang Taiji would never have given Li Zixiao a chance to gain a foothold.
This is also the reason why Li Zixiao completely blocked the news after occupying Tamna Island.
Li Zixiao has occupied Tamna Island for a month at this time, and during this time, he has completely built Tamna Island into a sea fortress.
In this way, Li Zixiao dared to attack Liaodong, otherwise he would rashly attack the territory of the Tartars, there would be no supply routes, and there would be no way to retreat, which would simply be to send him to death.
At the same time, Huang Taiji sent someone to send a letter to Geng Zhongming, who was stationed in Jinzhou at this time, asking him to strengthen the defense of Lushun and strictly prevent Li Zixiao's sneak attack.
At this time, Geng Zhongming was stationed in Jinzhou, which was also his base camp, and Lushun, the southernmost city, also belonged to Geng Zhongming.
After Huang Taiji got the news that Li Zixiao led his army to sea, he empathized,
If he were Li Zixiao, he would be the easiest place to choose to attack, and there were two places, one was Lushunkou and the other was Phi Dao.
Whether it is the Lushun area or Phi Island, it is a place near the sea, and it is the easiest target to be selected.
In addition, these two places were under the control of Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town, Daming Dynasty more than ten years ago, and the Tartars couldn't beat them down after a lot of effort.
In the end, it was Yuan Chonghuan who killed Mao Wenlong, giving the Tartars a chance to seize these two places.
The people here still have a very deep sense of belonging to Daming, and once they are occupied by Li Zixiao, they can easily gain a foothold here.
It's a pity that just when Huang Taiji sent a messenger to Jinzhou to deliver a letter to Geng Zhongming, Li Zixiao had already begun to do something to Lushun.
On the evening of December 24, Li Sheng met Geng Zhongming's general, who had been rebelled by Gu Xin, in Lushun City, and he was happy.
Le Yu really hated the Tartars, and for the Tartar general, he was drunk and molested his wife, which he regarded as a great shame, and wanted to kill him quickly.
He didn't dare much about the Tartars themselves, and when he was still following Mao Wenlong, he fought against the Tartars a lot.
Later, he followed Geng Zhongming to rebel, also because Mao Wenlong was killed, which made him resentful of the court, and then Geng Zhongming surrendered the Tartars, and he had no choice but to surrender.
Leyu was dissatisfied with the Ming court because they killed Mao Shuai.
But he didn't have much affection for the Tartars, and when he followed Mao Wenlong in his early years, he aimed to defeat the Tartars.
And now it's okay, there is a Li Zixiao, who is willing to avenge him, and at the same time promised him that he doesn't need to serve the Ming Dynasty, he took refuge in the general of Zhenguo, not the Ming court.
In the end, Le Yu chose to oppose the Tartars, and discussed with Li Sheng that night a plan of action for tomorrow night's incident.
Subsequently, Li Sheng, Gu Xin and Le Yu went their separate ways to prepare for the night battle.
"Brother Gu, this Leyu side, you can install people, tonight's action is very important, there must be no accidents."
After Le Yu left, Li Sheng asked Gu Xin.
Gu Xin listened to Li Sheng's words, of course he understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Captain, he has our people by his side, if he dares to repent, we will know in advance." ”
"By the way, do you have enough men? Do you need our support? Gu Xin asked.
"No, I've brought men, they're coming in batches, we'll meet tonight. Although there are not many people, they are definitely elite, and you can send someone to show us the way when the time comes. ”
"Okay, then we'll see you tonight."
"Okay."
And at this time, in the Bohai Strait, also known as the 'Old Tieshan Waterway' in the Ming Dynasty, a huge fleet was riding thousands of White Dragon Army soldiers to ride the wind and waves and march to the Liaodong Peninsula.
Hidden at sea, a speedboat soon arrived, and it was the person sent by Li Sheng from Lushunkou.
"The Lushun garrison had only 2,000 men, 200 Tatars, 600 Mongols, 200 Korean soldiers, and 1,000 Han troops. has now rebelled against a Han general, and is willing to respond internally.
It is agreed to lead people to raid the Tartar barracks tonight, seize the gate of Lushun, and greet the general! ”
"Haha, Li Sheng is already preparing to act in Lushun."
Li Zixiao stood on the deck of a three-masted gunboat, looked at the information sent by the speedboat, laughed, and said.
"General, Captain Li Sheng has succeeded?" At this time, Liu Chong came over and asked.
What Li Zixiao brought to Lushun this time was Liu Chong's trapped camp, plus two battalions of the city defense army, a total of 8,000 people, and a fleet of naval forces was used to transport it.
At this time, Li Zixiao divided the naval forces under Lu Yuan and Hong Sheng, with three three-masted gunboats as flagships, to form three fleets, the first, second and third fleets, respectively.
At present, Li Zixiao does not count on Lu Yuan's navy to shoulder the task of sea warfare, anyway, Tartar does not have a navy for the time being, and he will not let the navy go south, and he will not clash with the red-haired ghost or the Zheng family at sea.
At this time, the main task of the White Dragon Army Navy was to assist the army and fight the battle of Li Zixiao's northward march into Liaodong.
"Well, Li Sheng has succeeded. In fact, no matter whether Li wins or not, Lushun is decided.
It's just that in order to surprise attack Jinzhou, it is best to take Lushun by surprise, so I sent Li Sheng over.
After landing in Lushun, you will immediately lead the army to attack Jinzhou, strive to take Jinzhou in one go, and then go north to lay down the Hongzui Fortress, and then you can decide whether to fight Fuzhou and Yongning depending on the situation.
Anyway, after conquering Lushun and Jinzhou, I will hand it over to you here, and I will leave before the Liaohai Sea is closed.
Before sealing the sea, I will ask Lu Yuan's navy to send you as much food and ammunition as possible, and then the overall situation here will need you to support it alone. ”
Li Zixiao looked at Liu Chong and said in a heavy tone.
"The general can rest assured that Liu Chong will never live up to the general's expectations." Liu Zhong said solemnly, but he was very excited in his heart.
Because, Li Zixiao let him lead an army alone this time and guard a place, which shows that Li Zixiao trusts him and is also an opportunity for him to make contributions, which has always been what Liu Chong expected.
Before, among Li Zixiao's subordinates, the only one who had the opportunity to lead an army to fight outside was Qi Wei alone.
Li Zixiao is in the next big game of chess, and Lushun is a very important part of Li Zixiao's chess game.
Li Zixiao is right, if the Lushun garrison is instigated or not, it will not have much impact on his next battle.
If Li Sheng can rebel against the defenders of Lushun, obtain internal response, and easily take Lushun, this is naturally a good thing.
If Li Shengce fails, Li Zixiao will not pay attention to such a small number of defenders in Lushun.
For the current Beiyang Fleet, Port Arthur, which lacks shore defense artillery, is really defenseless.
Their naval fleet can enter the port without pressure, and when the White Dragon sergeant lands at the dock, then Lushun will actually be there.
Li Zixiao thought more, before he took Lushun, he had already planned to take Jinzhou and drove north.
Previously, the Tartars transferred a lot of men and horses from Geng Zhongming, so that Geng Zhongming had to reduce the garrison in Lushun.
Lushunkou, it was already dark.
Lushun at night is very quiet, sparse lights, Lushun at this time is equivalent to a small county town in Daming.
After dark, the streets were devoid of pedestrians, and a curfew was imposed after the Tartars captured Arthur.
When it was dark, the gates of the city were closed, no one was allowed to go out into the streets, and troops were sent to patrol the streets, and those who were found to have violated the forbidden were immediately put to death.
On the silent street, a group of soldiers walked down the street, and a guard man looked at the team with some doubt in his eyes.
In just a few moments, he saw three patrols passing.
He had never seen so many patrol soldiers in a previous night.
The husband shook his head, he didn't want to bother to think about that, anyway, it didn't matter what happened to him, he still honestly went to fight the change!
Tonight, Leyu was on duty, and after the appointed time, he directly took the most trusted team of people, a total of more than 100 people.
arrived at the alley outside the backyard wall of a large mansion in the south of the city, and joined Li Sheng, who was waiting there.
In fact, there are two other teams of people under Le Yu, but those two teams are not his cronies, and they are not even controlled by him, but only subordinates under his name.
In order to make sure that nothing went wrong, he didn't dare to use those two teams.
Li Sheng was wearing a fine cotton armor, and Le Yu was also wearing cotton armor, and the two glanced at each other.
Li Sheng brought a total of thirty-two people, all of them wearing fine cotton armor, holding a hundred steel knives in their hands, and even a short gun pinned to their waists, all of them were elite people.
And Le Yu looked at the thirty White Dragon Army soldiers behind Li Sheng, his eyes flickered, he felt a strong threat from these soldiers, and he saw that they were all veterans of a hundred battles.
"Captain Li, this is the mansion of Niu Lu Jingzhang A Gulie in Lushun, let's act." Le Yu whispered.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of murder, let's do it." Li Sheng nodded and replied.
As soon as Li Sheng beckoned, several veterans of the White Dragon Army walked out, opened the distance, and with a few runs, they rose into the air and climbed the high wall.
They squatted vigilantly on the wall, looked around the courtyard a few times, and only after confirming that it was safe did they jump into the courtyard.
Poof!
Soon, I heard two muffled snorts in the courtyard, estimated to be the two Tartar soldiers guarding the door, who were killed by the veterans of the White Dragon Army.
There was not much commotion, and soon, the backyard door of the mansion was opened from the inside.
Le Yu took the lead in rushing in with his men, and after entering, he found that two Tartar soldiers were lying softly at the door.
The previous veterans of the White Dragon Army were extremely powerful, and without making a sound, they put down the two gatekeeper Tartars.
"According to the intelligence, Ah Gulie is sleeping in the east wing, you come with me!" Li Sheng said in a low voice, taking the lead in leading the way.
After Le Yu heard Li Sheng's words, he was also shocked, he didn't expect Li Sheng to be so familiar with A Gulie's house, and hurriedly followed.
Gu Xin had already sent someone to find out the layout of Agulie's house and the usual situation of the guards inside.
At this time, among the thirty-two veterans of the White Dragon Army brought by Li Sheng, one of them was an intelligence bureau officer sent by Gu Xin to show them the way.
With the guidance of this intelligence bureau officer, their operation in Agulie's house went very smoothly, and they easily solved a few Tartar guards who had known about it long ago along the way, and they directly touched the outside of the east wing.
The lights are still on in the house, and the moaning of the woman's ** can be faintly heard.
Li Sheng gestured a few times, allowing those veterans of the White Dragon Army to quickly surround the East Wing, and Le Yue was impatient to take the lead.
When everything was ready, Le Yu took the lead in kicking the door, kicked the door bolt directly, and rushed in with his subordinates.
Originally, Li Sheng glanced at Le Yu strangely, but he didn't expect him to be so positive.
In the room, the Tatar Niu Lu Zhang Jing A Gulie, who was stationed in Lushun, was playing in bed with his beloved Korean concubine.
He never expected that a large group of people would suddenly rush in, and the loud noise frightened him even more so that he rolled out of bed at once, and he became impotent.
He didn't have time to get dressed, so he instinctively went to get the knife hanging on the wall, but at this time, a figure quickly rushed in, and a bright long knife was already directly on his neck.
"If you dare to move again, Lao Tzu will cut you." Le Yu hid anger in his eyes, and said to Agulie in Tatar language.
Ah Gulie was naked at this time, and slowly retracted the hand that was stretched out to take the knife on the wall, and slowly turned his head.
"Leyu, what are you doing, you can't rebel!" Ah Gulie saw that it was Le Yu who was holding the knife on his neck, and immediately scolded.
Le Yu glanced at him coldly, his eyes were full of hatred, and he said coldly: "Hehe, dog Tartar, I don't think it's your grandfather."
Remember what I said? I will definitely avenge the revenge of insulting my wife, and today I am here to fulfill my promise and send you on your way. ”
"You ......"
Seeing Le Yu's fierce eyes, Ah Gulie's eyes finally showed a frightened look, and he was about to speak, but the long knife in Le Yu's hand had already been slashed down.
When Li Sheng rushed in, he happened to see Agulie's head rolling out and rolling down to his feet.
Just now, Li Sheng also learned from the mouth of the intelligence bureau officer that the Tartar general who was drunk and tried to bully Leyu's wife was this Agulie.
At this time, Li Sheng finally understood why Le Yu was willing to rush to the front, and it was best for him to kill Agulie.
can make Le Yu take revenge, and at the same time, it can be regarded as cutting off his back road, so that he can only follow them with all his heart.
"Brother Le is a good knife skill, hurry up and be neat, with the head of this dog Tartar, it is enough to deter other Han troops in the city.
For the rest, we need to deal with the other Tartar soldiers, as well as those Mongolian soldiers and Korean soldiers. ”
Li Sheng grabbed the pig's tail behind A Gulie's head, picked it up, and said to Le Yu with a smile.
"Well, thank you for giving me a chance to get revenge."
