"Brother Thirteen, aren't we setting up another big enemy for ourselves?"

Lu Jiu looked at the back of Hong Chengchou, who was speaking impassionedly in the distance, and expressed his worries worriedly. Of course, Li Xin also knew that doing so might be equivalent to opening a Pandora's box, which could be released as a god, but it could also be a devil.

But Li Xin knows one thing better, whether it is a god or a devil released in this Pandora's box, it is beneficial to the current Ming Dynasty, looking at the world, Zhu Youzhen's trusted military generals, except for Yang Sichang is this Hong Chengchou, if Yang Sichang's idiot is sent to Liaoxi, I am afraid that even Shanhaiguan will have to be tossed and lost. And Li Xin himself is absolutely unwilling to stay in Liaoxi, his foundation is in Shanxi, Shanxi is rich in resources and has a large population, it is a good experimental field for his development, but when he comes to Liaoxi, it is different, no one has no resources, and he fights all day long......

"Let's see how he develops, if he can keep this Guan Ningjin defense line, it's worth it."

Lu Jiu stopped talking, and Li Xin could obviously see disapproval from his expression, so he said earnestly: "Huang Taiji is dead, do you think that our more than 10,000 people will be able to call for wind and rain in Liaodong and Liaoxi?" Don't forget how many famous generals our opponents have defeated, if you also have this kind of complacency and arrogance, you can't face up to our own strength, and you are likely to suffer a big loss in the future or immediately. Whether it is Dolgon or Daishan, it is not easy to be with them, and the reason why they are led by the nose like this is because they are eager to compete for the throne, if they think that they can be manipulated at will, it is very wrong. ”

There were bursts of cheers in the distance, Hong Chengchou's speech was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and these remnants soon found a sense of belonging again, and they had the posture of fighting for Hong Chengchou. Li Xin withdrew his gaze and resumed the topic that had been interrupted just now.

"Because of the current number of people in the Three Guards, can you use this ammunition to point your sword at Shengjing? Don't you hear that greed is not enough to swallow elephants, it is better to firmly hold this Jinzhou that has been tightly held in our hands, as long as Jinzhou is in hand, Hong Chengchou will gather the rout all the way, and turn the Ningjin area upside down, and Daishan's back road will be cut off, how can he attack Shanhaiguan with peace of mind? In this way, the crisis of the Guanning Jin defense line is immediately solved! ”

Lu Jiu had to admit that the thirteenth brother's idea was a little conservative, but it was the safest way, and it was a proper great achievement to put it in the bag, and if this momentum continued, the thirteenth brother would not be far away.

However, after letting go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Lu Jiu was still a little unwilling. Li Xin said: "Don't worry, when you have a good time, you have been busy all night, go back to Jinzhou to rest!" ”

Hong Chengchou did not return to Jinzhou with Li Xin, but parted ways with Li Xin on the north bank of the Xiaoling River, and cherished each other when parting, as if they were old friends saying goodbye. So, Hong Chengchou began his journey south with more than a thousand remnants.

Li Xin led his troops back to Jinzhou, redeployed, and finally called Lu Jiu over and gave him a task that surprised him.

"What? Brother Thirteen wants Lu Jiu to fight Haizhou? ”

Li Xin looked at Lu Jiu with a smile.

"How? Aren't you still a pity before, our Three Guards gave up this great opportunity? ”

"No, no, what Lu Jiu means is how the thirteenth brother changed his mind so quickly."

"Lu Jiu, Lu Jiu, my mind has never changed, fighting Haizhou is just a feint, in order to make Jinzhou safer, so that the Qing army distributed in western and eastern Liaoxi will take their attention away from Jinzhou."

Lu Jiu slapped himself as if he was suddenly opened.

"Got it, Brother Thirteen is bluffing, isn't he?"

Li Xin smiled indifferently, "Exactly, we are just bluffing, so ah, your burden is very heavy and dangerous." ”

Lu Jiu pondered for a while and said, "If it's just cavalry, I'm afraid it's not attractive enough. ”

"This has been thought out for a long time, Heisenberg's 1st Artillery Battalion and Zhang Shi's Grenadier Battalion are all assigned to you."

"There is also a well-known problem, almost all the gunpowder of the Three Guards Army has been soaked in the water of the Xiaoling River, and it is impossible to dry it for ten days and a half months, how to solve this ammunition problem?"

Li Xin said without thinking: "The issue of gunpowder has been thought about a long time ago, and all the gunpowder of the other infantry battalions and all the gunpowder will be given to Zhang Shi's grenadier battalion, so that it can deal with several major battles, but it is still necessary to save some use, and it is not enough to fight openly." ”

In the face of Li Xin's earnest entrustment, Lu Jiuyi agreed one by one, but what he thought in his heart was something else, the general would not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs, as long as they left Jinzhou City, it was not a matter of his words where the army wanted to go. Unexpectedly, Li Xin seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and bluntly told Lu Jiu that the main general of this army was not Lu Jiu, but Heisenberg.

Lu Jiu couldn't help but have a headache after hearing this candidate, even if the master would be Zhang Shi, Lu Jiu was sure to make him stand on his side, but this red-haired ghost named Heisenberg was notoriously difficult to talk and unsympathetic. In front of him, he was completely speechless. And this person is very arrogant, in the entire Three Guards Army, he doesn't buy anyone's account except Li Xin.

"Dolgon has almost passed Haizhou at this time, I don't know if Mi Yan's plan can be implemented smoothly, send troops tonight, capture Haizhou early tomorrow morning, if a large army comes, don't fight, don't defend the city, and withdraw immediately."

Lu Jiu nodded again and again, and asked, "What if the Qing army has not arrived?" ”

"If you don't arrive, you have to evacuate, you can attack in the direction of Gaizhou and Fuzhou, and burn down all the cities that you have broken along the way. The night before, remember that you should not stay in any place for more than one night, so that the Qing army cannot figure out the goals and movements of our army, and let them always be in a state of being led away! ”

……

Tong Jiamo, the magistrate of Haizhou, got up early in the morning, and suddenly Goshha came to report in a panic.

"There is another army outside the city......"

Tong Jiamo just woke up and his brain was still groggy, and he didn't react for a while, his master Dolgon had just crossed the border last night, could it be that he had turned back this morning?

"Kaejo, the official personally went to the city gate to greet ......"

Nagoshha was immediately dumbfounded, and stammered: "The city, outside the city is the Ming army, such as, how to meet ......"

"What? Ming army? ”

Tong Jiamo was startled, and his mind suddenly cleared up, Haizhou has not heard the sound of war for many years, which is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for him. What's more, since Haizhou was far away from the war, the Qing court no longer stationed troops in this city, which means that the only available people under his command are the county government's soap and the soldiers of the nearby villages, but now that the Ming army has come to the city, it is too late to mobilize the soldiers of the nearby villages.

It wasn't until after three circles in the house that Tong Jiamo remembered to ask how many Ming troops had come from outside the city.

Goshha replied with a sad face: "No, not a lot, look at four or five thousand people, ...... more"

Hearing that there were only four or five thousand people, Tong Jiamo became angry again, and four or five thousand people wanted to capture this Haizhou City, but it was not so easy. If you want to come for a day or two, it is not a problem, then by then, the reinforcements from Shengjing should have arrived a long time ago, and the four or five thousand people of the Ming army are not enough for the master to stuff his teeth.

As soon as he was relieved, the rumbling cannons rang out one after another, and suddenly Tong Jiamo was frightened again, the Ming army actually had Hongyi cannons, so the situation was another matter.

"Cao Si, you are the confidant of the official, and the official asked you, did Ping Su treat you badly?"

Goshha, who was called Cao Si, immediately threw up his sleeves and hit a thousand, "The adult is reinvented with Cao Si, and Cao Si is the only one who obeys the order of the adult!" ”

"Okay, this official wants to open the city and return to the Ming Dynasty, are you willing?"

Cao Si seemed to have expected Tong Jiamo to ask this question. "Cao Si's family has long been killed by the Tartars, so I don't have anything to worry about, I am willing to follow the adults!"

"However, the whole Muharren in the city is a stumbling stone, my lord, it is better not to do two things, bring this person first, and then ......" Cao Si made a gesture of splitting hands.

Tong Jiamo was very satisfied with Cao Si's construction, "Okay, go and sue Mu Harian, let him come to see the official, and talk about the city defense!" ”

Looking at Cao Si who walked out of the door, Tong Jiamo's heart was surging, he thought that this old bone was about to be buried in Liaodong, which Cheng thought, which Cheng thought, this is really a God-given opportunity. This Cao Si saw that this person's family was slaughtered and killed by the Qing soldiers, but in fact, he had a deep hatred for these rulers in his heart, so he was sure of this.

Outside Haizhou City, Heisenberg, as the main general, had a stern face and did not have a smile. He first ordered the artillery to fire intimidatingly at the city, and then waited for the city to respond, which was different from his previous style of bombardment, and the lack of gunpowder was an unsolvable problem, so he resorted to a new tactic.

Heisenberg planned to order the artillery battalion to push the cannon closer to the city gate, and then blast the city gate with continuous direct fire, the first guarantee before this was to attract the attention of the defenders of the city with the cannon, but this distance of more than a mile, it was simply too difficult to advance to the east gate of Haizhou City without being discovered.

The defenders of the city reacted very slowly, which greatly surprised Lu Jiu, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, and this siege battle had nothing to do with his cavalry, so he had to watch boredly how the red-haired ghost commanded the siege.

Lu Jiu soon saw an artillery team pushing several cannons, slowly heading towards the east gate of Haizhou City, followed by a grenadier team, in case the Qing army rushed out of Haizhou City, they could block in front of the artillery team as cover.

100 steps, 80 steps, 50 steps, and you will reach the best direct distance. The east gate of Haizhou City was suddenly opened from the inside, and Lu Jiu's heart in the distance tightened, it seemed that this battle was inevitable, and at the same time he looked at Heisenberg, and said in his heart that this red-haired ghost was at this level, although the artillery took the lead, but in the end, it was up to the infantry soldiers. Lu Jiu took off the reins of his horse, maybe he still needed his cavalry to come out.
