The retreat of the Houjin army was slow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The continuous rain, the muddy earth, and the low morale, each of them, caused them a lot of trouble.

But Mao Wenlong was wreaking havoc in Zhenjiang, and they had to speed up their pace, and multiple pressures were at work, and everyone's steps seemed very tired.

And last night's sneak attack, the war horses were also frightened, and at this time, these beasts seemed to be less obedient.

The rain finally stopped in the evening, and on the head of the city, Li Yuanqing and the three of them had been paying attention to the direction of the Houjin camp.

Zhang Pan frowned and said, "If you go on like this, I'm afraid that by tomorrow night, these dog tartars won't be able to roll." ”

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "It's really difficult for them to march at this time. ”

Although Li Yuanqing had a smile on his face, his heart was not as relaxed as it seemed.

The retreating posture of the Houjin army seems to be scattered and heavy, but the formation of its various departments is not chaotic, and the soldiers seem to be in groups of three or five, three or two, but if you look carefully, the banners of their various departments are still very neat, and their establishment is not chaotic.

Logically speaking, this should be the best time for the Ming army to raid.

But these Houjin troops did not seem to be afraid of the Ming army's sneak attack at all, swaggering in a clear field a mile away, and then, seemingly chaotically, headed north.

'Is this an old slave trying to fish?' Such a thought flashed through Li Yuanqing's mind, but after a moment, he gave up this idea.

The three divisions of Lushun City combined, there were only less than 6,000 soldiers, almost no cavalry, and it was impossible to go out of the city to fight.

How shrewd is the old slave? Naturally, you can't fail to think about this.

That~~~, this is Chiguoguo's ignorance.

Even if he didn't take Lushun City, the old slave didn't take Lushun City in his eyes at all, he didn't believe that the Ming army in Lushun City dared to go out of the city to fight at this time.

Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled.

Unexpectedly, a character like the old slave, at such a time, would actually play a child's temper.

That's right, he won.

At such times, fools will go out of the city.

And with the past of these 'miscellaneous services', the main forces of the main flags such as the red flag, the yellow flag, the yellow flag, the blue flag, and the blue flag are very neat, even if the soldiers are tired with the naked eye, but there is not too much mess, and the color of the strong army can be seen at a glance.

"Holy shit, how dare you be so arrogant after losing a battle? Is this a fucking demonstration with us? Zhang Pan took a hard sip.

Chen Zhong also said: "It's no wonder that the old slaves can crisscross the land and see their military appearances firsthand, and they are worthy of being the division of a hundred battles." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Two brothers, you don't have to worry too much. Hehe. Think about it, how long did the old slave mix up to get these inheritances? Our brothers, it's only been a few days since we became an army? ”

"That's right. Yuan Qing was right. The old slave has been mixed all his life to have such a thing. How many of our brothers, dozens of years younger than him, on holidays, why are you afraid of this old dog? Zhang Pan said with his head held high.

The victory in the Battle of Lushun gave him great confidence.

Chen Zhong also nodded, "With this time, presumably the old slave should stop for a while." I'm worried now, Dashuai's ......."

Zhang Pan smiled: "The messenger from our side has already gone to Zhenjiang. In this weather, the ship is better than the horse. The marshal and the headquarters will be fine. ”

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Two elder brothers, why bother with these trivial matters? If nothing else, this muddy ground is enough for the old slave to drink a pot. After being tired for so many days, it's time for us to rest. Go, go for a drink, and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow's business, tomorrow's talk. ”

Chen Zhong smiled, "When you say that, I'm really tired." Let's go, go have a drink. ”

Zhang Pan said, "You two go." I'll have to watch the Tartars fuck off, or I'll be upset. ”

It doesn't matter if Zhang Pan is in charge in person, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong no longer persuade them, and return to the camp directly.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was about to enter his big tent, Chen Zhong hurriedly whispered: "Yuanqing, what are your clever plans?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, now is not the time to talk about this. What we need to do now is to have a good rest and recuperate. ”

…………

The main force of Houjin did not evacuate until the evening of the next day, but their camp was not abandoned, and the banner of Yue Tuo, the lord of the Red Flag Banner, was still there, and there were probably more than 10 Niu Lu's troops left.

Obviously, even if there is Mao Wenlong, the old slave is not willing to let go of Lushun.

However, the old slave army left, and the initiative of the Ming army suddenly increased a lot, and the limited sentry began to go out of the city and spread around the red flag camp.

Yue Tuo was not to be outdone, and the red-flaged sentry came out later, and the two sides came back and forth in this open space under the city, which was even more exciting than an equestrian competition.

In such a state, the main forces of the various departments do not need to keep an eye on the city, and the Changsheng Battalion and all the departments under Chen Zhong, except for a limited number of guards on duty, have all withdrawn, and they have a good rest with good food and drink.

At this time, the sky has cleared, but the ground is still very muddy.

The sentinels of the two armies are the elite of the two armies, and they can show their skills freely under such conditions, but the main forces of the two armies have maintained sufficient restraint.

The Jurchens are also considered to be a nation on horseback, and the equestrian skills of the red flag sentinels are all exquisite, and the Ming army sentry detectives are all elite under Zhang Pan's command, although they are not weak, but they are obviously still inferior to them.

But the Ming army sentinel has the city as a support, once the situation is not good, they will run to the side of Lushun City, as long as the Houjin sentry dares to chase to the city, they must be greeted by a crisp bird.

The Houjin army had already suffered enough from the Immortal Camp Bird Gun, so naturally they didn't dare to rush to the city.

This time, the sentinels on both sides have become pig's feet in the field.

The soldiers of the two armies have become spectators, cheering and cheering endlessly, but the atmosphere is more enthusiastic than when the main forces played against each other before.

At this time, Li Yuanqing was also on the lookout platform of the building at the head of the city, watching the fighting of the two sides with great interest.

As long as there is a good performance of the Ming army sentry detectives, not only the cheers of the soldiers, but also Li Yuanqing's side, he will not hesitate to reward.

More than a dozen taels, less than a few taels, and later, as long as there are Ming army sentry scouts who dare to behave, Li Yuanqing will reward him with silver.

This also made the mood of the Ming army sentry and soldiers even higher.

In later generations, Li Yuanqing once saw someone playing with a car very slippery, and he could almost be integrated with the car, but at this time, seeing the sentinel playing with horses and showing off equestrianism was much more exciting than the senses of playing with a car.

Especially a few elite sentinels of Houjin, it is like juggling, and some people can even shoot arrows reflexively when the war horse is galloping, and the accuracy is extremely high, and there are several Ming army sentinels, all of whom have suffered his losses.

Sometimes it's not just skills, the horses on the Houjin side are obviously much stronger and stronger than the Ming army.

It's like the difference between a normal car and a performance car.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity." We don't have so many horses. If there is, if you train the cavalry, you may not lose to them. ”

Zhang Pan saw Li Yuanqing's thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "Yuanqing, there are indeed a lot of Jiannu playing with horses. But the one who really plays horse skates is still the northern captive. In the early years in Sanyang, under the command of the big handsome, there were also a few minions of the northern captives, who grew up with horses since they were young, and even ate and lived together, and their skills were indeed exquisite. I also learned a lot from them. It's a pity. Now Quang Ninh ...... Behold that man, he must be a captive of the North. ”

Zhang Pan pointed to the most equestrian Tartar.

Li Yuanqing nodded slightly.

Zhang Pan is right, who can compare to the descendants of Genghis Khan who really play horses?

Unfortunately, Quang Ninh has been lost, and Daming has lost the most fertile horse farm in the north.

Lin Dan Khan is not angry, these Mongolian Tatars, even if they do not obey the old slaves, but if they continue like this, their living space will soon be very small, and in the end, in addition to perishing, they will take refuge in the old slaves.

If you can find a few minions among the Mongol tribes......

It's a pity that the location is thousands of miles apart, and it's too difficult.

Moreover, Li Yuanqing does not have such a spacious venue and so much money now, so he can raise cavalry, and at most some sentinels.

But in Li Yuanqing's heart, he set a goal, sooner or later, he must have a strong cavalry.

Only cavalry is the real master of this world.

For several days, neither side made any big moves, just fighting horses, plus scolding, no one dared to act rashly.

Not to mention, although this is not as good as a real war, but it consumes more energy than the battle, every day, at least dozens of pots of hot water must be boiled, and the firewood in the city is now starting to be a little nervous.

It's already the middle of August, and the main force of the old slave has been gone for three days, and Zhang Pan can't help it, "Yuanqing, now it is estimated that the old slave has arrived in Zhenjiang, we can't just wait." We can't waste the opportunity created for us by the commander and the headquarters. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "Brother Zhang, what do you want to do?" ”

Zhang Pan was stunned, "What else can I do?" I have to let Yue Tuo have a longer memory, Lushun City, it's not like he can come if he wants to. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's almost time." Huang Guoshan, go and call General Chen. ”

"Yes." Huang Guoshan left in a hurry.

Not long after, Chen Zhong came to Li Yuanqing's tent and said with a smile: "What? You two have eyebrows? ”

Li Yuanqing spread out the map, "The time is almost ripe, it's time for us to take the initiative." Two brothers, what do you think? Let's take a closer look. ”

Zhang Pan's meaning is that he hopes to cause effective damage to Yue Tuo's main force with red flags, and ensure that during this period of time, the main force with red flags can no longer harass Lushun too much.

Chen Zhong also supported Zhang Pan's idea, if the main force of the red flag could be weakened, Guangludao would also have more room in various landing guerrilla warfare.

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Two elder brothers, this is indeed the case, and I also agree with this direction." However, the Red Banner still has more than 10 Niu Lu's troops, and the number is no less than 5,000. Let's be tough, I'm afraid, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Zhang Pan said: "Yuanqing, I'm afraid of a ball." Don't forget, we've got treasures. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "Brother Zhang, baby is difficult to play in this weather." Houjin Jun suffered such a big loss, how could Yue Tuo not have a long memory? What's more, we have been guarding Lushun for so long in vain, and all departments are damaged, so how can we do it if we don't charge some interest from the old slave? ”

Chen Zhong already somewhat understood what Li Yuanqing meant, his brother has never been the master who is willing to suffer.

"Yuanqing, what do you want to do?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and pointed the map with his big hand, "Last time, I was very unwilling to fail here." At this time, Yue Tuo and the main force of the red flag are here, Fuzhou City must be empty, if you don't take Fuzhou at this time, when will you wait? ”

Zhang Pan didn't expect Li Yuanqing's appetite to be so big, he was excited, but he was nervous, last time, he was besieged under Fuzhou City, and he faintly had a little psychological shadow.

"Yuanqing, Fuzhou is not close to Lushun, if you want to take the sea route, it will be farther, I'm afraid it will take two days. Besides, Zhenjiang doesn't know what the situation is, in case the old slave returns to the teacher, it won't be easy to do. ”
