Leaving Hu Kebin's official hall, Chen Zhong said to Li Yuanqing with a wry smile: "Yuanqing, watching others make meritorious contributions, brother, I really don't know what to say in my heart." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The task of attacking Hadian Island was handed over to Mao Chenglu and You Jinghe, and with their strength, they far surpassed Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, so there should not be much of a problem.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Chen, there are so many Houjin Tartars, sooner or later there will be a time when we will use force, why rush at this time?" It just so happens that we don't have to go out with the army this time, let's go, drink and go. ”

Saying that, Li Yuanqing pulled Chen Zhong and walked towards a tavern not far from Hu Kebin's official hall.

ordered a few side dishes and ordered a few pots of wine, and Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong drank wine without a match.

In the past, although Li Yuanqing was also familiar with Chen Zhong, he was basically passable on face, but after the two battles of Sanchahe and Guangludao, the relationship between the two obviously showed signs of deepening.

Chen Zhong is a native of Liaozhong, followed Mao Wenlong very early, his parents and relatives, many people died in the hands of the Jurchen Tartars, and the hatred for the Jurchen Tartars is as deep as the sea.

It is precisely because of this that on the way to the surprise attack, every time, he is eager to show himself and wants to use his own hands to avenge his parents and relatives.

Compared with Chen Jisheng, Chen Zhong obviously doesn't have too many fancy intestines, one is one, two is two, what he relies on is that he is not afraid of death, that is, he is loyal to Mao Wenlong.

Frankly speaking, Li Yuanqing admires Chen Zhong's temperament very much, and with such a man, many times, Li Yuanqing will also take off a lot of defense.

If Li Yuanqing is not mistaken, he should have fallen and fought with the Zhenjiang guards, fighting to the end, after the Zhenjiang city was broken, he was captured by the Houjin army, but he did not surrender to the death, and was finally brutally killed by the Houjin army.

Before this, Li Yuanqing was a distant way and an appreciative attitude, and Chen Zhong became friends, but at this time, the two were already very familiar, the real brother and brother, by no means on face, Chen Zhong was very convinced of Li Yuanqing's words, many times, Li Yuanqing did not want to ~~~ He repeated the tragedy in history.

After drinking too much, Chen Zhong also thought about it, "Yuanqing, you know me, I'm not greedy for this bit of credit, I just watched my brothers fight, but I was drinking here idlely, and I felt very uncomfortable." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Chen, I have heard an old saying, it is like a punch, a step back today is for a better step tomorrow." ”

Saying that, Li Yuanqing deliberately made a few stretching arms, and then punched.

Chen Zhong also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Yuanqing, I'm not as good as you." I grew up in a poor family and never studied. You're right. Here, let's have a drink. ”

As he spoke, Chen Zhong picked up the wine glass, touched it with Li Yuanqing vigorously, and drank it all.

Li Yuanqing opened his mouth and wanted to say, 'Or, let's get married as brothers of the opposite sex, right?' ’

But after careful consideration, after all, there is still Chen Jisheng here, and Chen Zhong is a rectum, in case the news leaks, he is on Chen Jisheng's side, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain.

Moreover, if this kind of thing is discovered by Mao Wenlong, it will outweigh the losses.

There must be a 'mountain', but now is obviously not the time.

However, this does not prevent Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong from continuing to deepen their relationship.

…………

The two drank from morning to noon, and each went back to his camp to rest.

Guanglu Island is very large, and the conditions of the officers' garrisons have also been greatly improved, and Li Yuanqing's camp is on the east side of the town, near the sea.

Hadian Island is a small island after all, and it is also very close to Guanglu Island, this time, only two sand boats went, but Mao Wenlong also went.

For Mao Wenlong, on these islands, after all, there are no real slaves, and even if there are, there will never be many of them, and everything must be based on appeasement. Only when the support of the people is won and the hearts of the people are won will the surprise attack team have greater certainty in its next actions.

At this time, with the fulcrum of Guanglu Island, Mao Wenlong also had more confidence in his heart.

Back at the camp, except for a few soldiers on duty, most of the rest of the people were resting under the shade of the trees, running all the way, training was tight, and these soldiers were really tired. Mao Wenlong gave Li Yuanqing a holiday, and Li Yuanqing also gave the soldiers a holiday.

Man is not a machine after all.

It's just that at this time, he was still in a large army, and many of Li Yuanqing's ideas could not be truly implemented, including military training. can only use some methods synchronized with this era to simply cultivate the combat power of these nearly thirty soldiers under his command first.

Although Mao Wenlong is open-minded, the ancestor said well, 'The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it', and Li Yuanqing will never be rash until he has effectively obtained his own territory.

If you want to make a difference in the world, you have to stand on your feet.

The number of troops has increased a lot, and the original military supplies have begun to appear a little nervous, whether it is all kinds of ordnance or strategic equipment. Fortunately, the capture of Hiroshima gave the team a 'booster', although there is still a shortage of ordnance, but the food and materials are already very rich.

But there is still no way to solve the problem of military equipment such as tents, but fortunately, it is summer at this time, and the soldiers can sleep on the ground with their mats, so they don't have to think too much about it for the time being.

Shunzi and Shang Lao Liu were napping under a big tree, and when they saw Li Yuanqing coming, Shunzi hurriedly got up, cleaned up Li Yuanqing's mat, and said with a smile: "Brother, you go here." ”

Li Yuanqing was also not polite, lying between Shunzi and Shang Lao Liu.

Shang Lao Liu whispered: "Yuanqing, how is the situation today?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's not bad." Today, let's all have a good rest. In the evening, let the firemen order up on the hour and make up for the brothers. ”

Shang Lao Liu nodded, and the three old men quickly fell asleep.

…………

Early the next morning, before dawn, news came from the front that Mao Chenglu and You Jinghe were almost bloodless, captured the island official Ren Guangxian, and successfully took Hadian Island.

At noon, Mao Wenlong had just returned, and he almost didn't stop, and directly convened a military meeting to look forward to the big and small Changshan Islands.

At this time, when the morale of the surprise attack team was high, there were almost no objections, and the plan was decided.

However, the area of Changshan Island is larger than that of Guanglu Island, and the number of island officials and defenders will be more, so Mao Wenlong does not dare to be careless.

Of course, this time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong still only had to watch the battle.

On the ninth day of the seventh month of the first year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, four sand boats and more than 500 soldiers successfully arrived at Dachangshan Island, and the main attack was Mao Chenglu and You Jinghe.

However, Guo Changru, the official of Dachangshan Island, did not resist, and when he saw the arrival of Wang Shi, he decisively announced his surrender and personally pacified more than 600 people, which was affirmed by Mao Wenlong.

But Mao Wenlong did not stay, and in the afternoon, he went directly to Xiaochangshan Island.

Similar to the situation on Dachangshan Island, Li Er, the official of Xiaochangshan Island, did not resist, and took more than 300 people to directly submit to the king's division, and everything went very smoothly.

That night, Mao Wenlong rewarded the three armies on Xiaochangshan Island, everyone cheered, and the morale of the surprise attack team became higher and higher.

On the 10th day of the seventh month, the team continued to Shicheng Island in the northeast, but here, Mao Chenglu and You Jinghe encountered resolute resistance from the island official He Guoyong.

Mao Chenglu and You Jinghe, the two teams of people, add up to nearly 150 people, only under Mao Chenglu, there are more than 100 people, although they paid some price, but they still took Shicheng Island before noon.

Captured ten people including the island official He Guoyong, beheaded thirty levels, and obtained three Yi boats, two bronze cannons, and four earthen cannons, and captured more than a dozen Yi people who came to the island to buy cattle, all of whom were Chao ~ Xian people.

The battle of Shicheng Island was the first real large-scale battle encountered by the surprise attack team since its expedition.

Afterwards, Mao Wenlong personally appeased Song Shangyuan, the leader of the aborigines of Shicheng Island, and Song Shangyuan led more than 1,000 aborigines to surrender, and the matter of Shicheng Island was decided.

Subsequently, the surprise attack team went to Kashima, and the island official Li Jingxian led the people to return to Shun and recovered the place for twenty miles.

Then, Mao Wenlong sent people to Ocean Island, Wangjia Island, Daxiaozhangzi Island, Mouse Island and other islands, and the island officials Guo Deqian and Liu Jingshi respectively led people to surrender and recover hundreds of miles of the place.

On July 14, the fleet came to Daludao, the island officials led the people to surrender, Mao Wenlong also recruited pirates and heroes in Bianhai, Huangzui, Shuangshan and other places, killed pigs and sheep, rewarded the soldiers and civilians who returned to Shun, and immediately the people's hearts were happy, and they wanted to serve the death, and their morale was like a rainbow.

At this time, many islands on the northeast side of the Liaodong Peninsula basically fell into the hands of the surprise attack team, and their reputation was unmatched for a while.

Just when the hearts of the army and the people were cheering, Mao Wenlong got such news.

Later, Jin Shuangshan guerrilla Miao Yizhen, plundered the people's property in the place under his rule, retrograde and reversed, for the disaster party, Mao Wenlong was furious, and immediately ordered troops and horses to conquest of Miao Yizhen.

But because of the tide, he didn't get his wish, and Mao Wenlong didn't continue to entangle, and turned around and entered the territory of Chao ~ Xian.

On July 18, the team arrived at the area of Asahi ~ Xian Mi Kushi Fort and set up camp near the coast.

On the one hand, Mao Wenlong reorganized the army for war, and on the other hand, he got in touch with the gentry in Zhenjiang City through the intelligence network.

On July 19, according to the report of Xu Liu, a native of Zhenjiang, Mao Wenlong received an important piece of information, "Zhenjiang guerrilla Tong Yangzhen, heard that Mao Wenlong's main force was attacking Shuangshan, and hurriedly selected more than 1,000 soldiers and miscellaneous servants to rescue Shuangshan and Huangzui. ”

At this time, in Mao Wenlong's big tent, Mao Wenlong's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the officers in the tent, "Tong Yangzhen went to save Shuangshan, according to the strength of Zhenjiang City, I'm afraid there is not much left." This is an opportunity for our army to take Zhenjiang City in one go. ”

Mao Wenlong spoke very slowly, and his voice was not loud, but Li Yuanqing could clearly feel the strength of it, and he couldn't help but be enthusiastic, after staying up for so long, it was finally time for the moon to open.

Mao Chenglu said: "The general is wise. Let's feint to attack Shuangshan Mi Yizhen, I didn't expect that this Tong Yangzhen would be so stupid and so easy to be fooled. God is helping us. ”

Chen Zhong also said: "General, such a great opportunity is the time when our army is famous all over the world. ”

All the officers expressed their expressions of asking for war, and Li Yuanqing couldn't help the blood in his heart and stepped forward to ask for battle.

Although the great achievement is in front of him, Mao Wenlong is extremely calm, "I already have a plan in my heart about this matter." Where is Zhang Pan? ”

Zhang Pan hurriedly came out of the ranks, "I am here." ”

Mao Wenlong said: "You can lead the headquarters, add a hundred young people, and cut off Tong Yangzhen's way back." ”

"Yes." Zhang Pan took the order.

"Where is You Jinghe?"

"Humble duty."

"Zhenjiang Zhongjun Qianhu Chen ~ good strategy, has decided to respond to our army, you can lead the headquarters, ambush and Ximen, and respond at any time."

"Yes."

"Where are Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing?"

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly went out to kneel on one knee, "Humble duty." ”
