Chapter 160: Come and Get It Anytime
~~~~~~~
The lunch at the Changsheng Camp was very hearty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The absolute initiative also gave the Changsheng Battalion more time, and the nearby water source was also abundant, and the soldiers drank hot water, ate hot dry cakes, and had salted fish and wild vegetable soup, in such an environment at this time, it was definitely a five-star enjoyment.
Li Yuanqing's food is no different from that of ordinary soldiers, in peacetime, in order to maintain his authority, Li Yuanqing naturally has to distance himself from the soldiers, but in wartime, it is the best opportunity to get close to the soldiers.
And the more summer it is, the more important it is to eat safely.
In winter, it is nothing to drink raw water, because the cold weather will freeze most of the germs in the water to death, but in summer, Li Yuanqing has issued a strict order, even if he dies of thirst, no one can drink raw water.
Otherwise, once an epidemic occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In fact, in military history, whether it is an expedition or a surprise attack, non-combat attrition accounts for more than half or more, of which 90 percent is caused by unscientific diets.
As the affairs of the Changsheng Battalion gradually began to move on the right track, Li Yuanqing also began to have more energy, using the experience of later generations and the actual situation of the Changsheng Battalion to gradually change and improve the living habits and methods of the soldiers.
After lunch, the fatigue of the morning's hard work was also relieved a lot, and the soldiers gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
Li Yuanqing glanced around.
It is undeniable that the mandarin duck jacket of the Ming army, from an aesthetic point of view, has reached the point of peak, even the uniforms of the later rice army and the French army are far from achieving this bright and shocking effect.
But there are pros and cons.
This bright red color scheme makes it easier for the commander to see the situation clearly in large-scale operations, but on the contrary, in small-scale similar special operations, these bright colors are really too eye-catching.
For example, at this time, in the direction of Yangguanbao, it is difficult to see the movements of your side.
Li Yuanqing is also carefully considering that in the next step, in terms of the scout team, we must increase our work, and even make some equipment similar to camouflage uniforms in later generations.
Only by maintaining superiority and taking the initiative in intelligence will we be able to take the lead in the overall situation in the future.
After lunch, when the sun was at its most poisonous, the soldiers were all hiding in the shade to rest, and Li Yuanqing was able to calm down and consider his next move.
If this situation continues to develop, it will not be too difficult to take Yangguan Fort.
However, the Yangguan Fort side was a little more patient than Li Yuanqing expected, and they did not send elite soldiers for help, which means that in a short period of time, it is difficult for Fuzhou to find out the movement here, and it is very difficult to lure them out of the fort.
If you want to take Yangguan Fort, you can only attack it.
The long-range firepower of the Changsheng Battalion is all light firepower such as bird guns, and if you want to attack strongly, you can only fill it with human lives, which is not wise.
Li Yuanqing did not plan to stay too long in Yangguanbao, and when the wheat was harvested in the afternoon, he shifted his position, looked for another place, and continued to search for oil and water.
For Li Yuanqing, he doesn't care much about the merits that others value very much.
After all, Li Yuanqing has just been promoted to guerrilla, and even if he makes great contributions, he will not be promoted in a short period of time, but will only make him too famous.
People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
In the Dongjiang headquarters, although Li Yuanqing is very modest, he is already a little out of the woods.
In addition, Mao Wenlong's order to Li Yuanqing was to harass and drag down the main force of Houjin, and Li Yuanqing did not have much interest in a small fort city like Yangguanbao.
Only when the strength of the Changsheng Camp headquarters becomes stronger and stronger, in any changes faced in the future, Li Yuanqing will have greater capital and more confidence to speak.
But just as he was about to squint for a while and recuperate, at this time, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the south gate of Yangguanbao.
In a moment, the city gate was opened, and someone was waving and shouting desperately towards the Immortal Camp.
On the gate tower, there were already puffs of smoke, and it was obvious that someone had set the fire.
Li Yuanqing's face changed, and he obviously didn't expect this situation.
In a moment, Duan Xiliang, Guan Canghai, and Xu Heizi had already walked quickly to Li Yuanqing's side.
Duan Xiliang hurriedly said: "General, there seems to be a civil strife in Yangguan Fort, and someone has opened the city gate for us." We must hurry up and come to the rescue. ”
Guan Canghai said: "General, the situation is unclear at this time, maybe it is a trick of the Tartars, let's not be rash." ”
Li Yuanqing had already calmed down at this time, and said with a faint smile: "Even if it is a trick of the Tartars, we have to follow." There are not many Tartars in Yangguan Fort, even if there is a trick, what can I do? But we must not chill the hearts of the people. Passing on our military order, the 1,000th Corps moved forward. Two birds, covering on both sides. ”
"Yes."
…………
In the direction of Yangguanbao, Zhu Zi and Zhang Sanwa had already controlled the city gate, desperately shouting towards the Changsheng Camp, seeing that the Changsheng Camp had moved, and quickly converged towards them, they couldn't help but shout excitedly.
At this time, Mu Zhen, who had just returned to the house to rest, also got the news of the rebellion at the city gate, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly rushed out with his henchmen and minions.
But as the Changsheng Battalion took the lead in responding, these Han army flag soldiers on the fort wall had already begun to commotion~ Riots.
No one is stupid.
At present, the city gate has been opened, and the Ming army has occupied the right initiative, who is more promising, does this need to be asked?
Not long after, the soldiers and miscellaneous servants of the Han army at the head of the city turned against the water, relying on the favorable terrain at the head of the city, desperately blocking the charge of the minions on Mu Zhen's side.
Everyone wants to behave well in front of the new master, the general of the Ming army.
And the dozen or so real slaves on Mu Zhen's side, old and weak, had already fallen into passivity, and at this time, they were even more passive, and they couldn't break through the city gate defense line of these traitors at all.
In desperation, they had to retreat to the official hall, preparing to rely on the terrain of the official hall to make the final defense.
Soon, as the vanguard of the 1,000th Corps rushed to the city gate, the entire Yangguan Fort fell under the control of the Changsheng Battalion in an instant.
There are interception points of the Changsheng Camp at the intersections on all sides, and even if he breaks through, Mu Zhen has no choice.
Close the door and beat the dog, and the rest is much simpler.
Li Yuanqing entered the city of Yangguanbao half an hour later, at this time, Mu Zhen had been tied into zongzi, covered in blood, and more than a dozen real slaves under his command had been cut into meat sauce.
Looking at Mu Zhen's vicious gaze, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile and said to Duan Xiliang next to him: "Have all the merits been counted?" ”
Duan Xiliang hurriedly said: "General, it's all counted." These two brothers beside me are the first to contribute to this battle. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the pillar and Wang Sanwa beside him.
Wang Sanwa was covered in blood, and he didn't know how many wounds there were on his body, but at this time, he didn't feel pain at all. His desperate gamble was not in vain.
He had long heard that the main generals of the three Ming armies in southern Liaoning were all guerrillas.
This means that he met the general of one of the three departments in southern Liaoning.
"Little Liang Zhu, Wang Sanwa, meet the general." Zhu Zi and Wang Sanwa hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing smiled and helped them up with his own hands, "The two brothers have worked hard. In this battle, the two of you should be the first to work. The general will report to the imperial court to commend the two military merits. ”
The two couldn't help but be overjoyed, and Liang Zhu hurriedly said: "General, the family members of this old dog Mu Zhen are all inside." It's a pity that both of his sons went on the expedition and were not caught. ”
Wang Sanwa was also happy and anxious.
Li Yuanqing's words have made it clear that the two of them will definitely be rewarded with official status, but Wang Sanwa is still thinking about Mu Zhen's fifth aunt, he really wants to talk to Li Yuanqing and ask Li Yuanqing to reward him with this fifth aunt, but he also knows that this is impossible, so he can only do it in a hurry.
Li Yuanqing naturally couldn't understand Wang Sanwa's mind at this time, and the rebellion of the Han army banner soldiers in Yangguan Fort also made Li Yuanqing more aware that the Houjin army had not taken root in southern Liaoning for a long time, and its rule was far from being as stable as it appeared.
Liaodi is bitterly cold, the people are fierce, as long as the operation is good, the Changsheng Camp has a lot to do in southern Liaoning.
There were about seventy or eighty Han army banner soldiers who defected to the Ming Dynasty this time, accounting for more than eighty percent of the Han army flag soldiers in the city.
Li Yuanqing personally pacified them, temporarily appointed Liang Zhu and Zhang Sanwa as their commanders, and put out the fire at the city gate to maintain normal order in the fort.
At this time, the results of this battle were also counted.
Due to the help of the inner ghosts, the Changsheng Battalion suffered 0 casualties in this battle, but a lot of various materials were captured, in addition to the grain and grass reserved in the fort city, weapons and reserves, as well as the family property of Mu Zhen and these real slaves.
Mu Zhen is the red flag of Niu Lu Zhangjing, his fief of Niu Lu is in Yangguan Fort, the young and strong in those Niu Lu, all of them went out with the old slaves, but the family property is left here, only cash, Changsheng Camp here, it has been copied to more than 10,000 taels, as well as many pigs, horses and mutton dry goods, as well as a large number of female dependents, I am afraid that there are thousands of people.
The officers and soldiers were all smiling, they really couldn't imagine that the war could be so easy to fight, these dogs, that's it.
Who said they had three heads and six arms?
But in the official hall of Yangguanbao, Li Yuanqing maintained enough calm.
The blockade in advance did provide a lot of opportunities for the Changsheng Battalion, but Fuzhou City was by no means foolish, and they should soon notice the changes here.
Although there are not many main forces in southern Liaoning, when they are gathered, the Changsheng Battalion is still not an opponent.
Thirty-six strategies, go for the best policy.
has already taken advantage of it, how can Li Yuanqing fight with the main force of Houjin here?
The whole army rested in Yangguan Fort for half an hour, and all the real slaves and stubborn Han army banner soldiers were beheaded, leaving only the heads, and the brigade quickly retreated towards the camp facing the west.
Looking at the towering fort wall not far away, Guan Canghai said: "General, do you want to burn this fort?" Houjin lost his foothold here. ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "There's no need to be so wasteful. This is my Ming Dynasty's fort, which took a lot of manpower and financial resources to build. If you want to use the tartars, leave them first? When we need it, just come and pick it up. ”
Guan Canghai instantly understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and couldn't help but smile, "My lord is wise." ”
