Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 455 Lushun Attack and Defense 3
This man is the one who dared to go to a place hundreds of miles away from Lushun with a dozen sentinel cavalry for reconnaissance. Huang Yulang who escaped from the sky.This kid is considered to be in the limelight. Who else in Dongjiang Town doesn't know that there is such a desperado under Hou Jin's siege, killing several people and rushing out, bringing back life-and-death information?With this military exploits, coupled with his relationship with Huanglong, the future is promising.But the showy Huang Yulang was not happy, he still felt sorry for his two good horses.

Huang Long said helplessly to Yang Menglong: "Young handsome Yang, don't blame him. This boy has a very deep relationship with those two war horses. He regards them as brothers. In the scout team, one of the two war horses was killed by random arrows, and the other After running all night, he ran to death alive, and he couldn't think about it for a while..."

Yang Menglong nodded and said: "I can understand that a horse is half the life of a soldier. If the horse dies, half the man will die..." He reached out and tapped Huang Yulang's shoulder armor, and said with a smile: "This kind of good man can't live without a horse. When this battle is over, I will give you two Hequ horses!"

Huang Yulang was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, little Yang Shuai, thank you, little Yang Shuai!"

Yang Menglong introduced Li Yan and Hong Niangzi to them. Those generals from the Dongjiang town looked down upon Li Yan, a white-faced scholar, but they were amazed by Hong Niangzi's beauty.No way, in this ghostly place where malnutrition is common, finding a heroic beauty like Hong Niangzi is no less difficult than finding a wild giant panda in a big city.A group of big bosses were vying to strike up a conversation with the red lady, but Li Yan was completely ignored by them.The red lady returned the salute one by one, with a charming smile on her face, and her eyes squinted into a beautiful first-quarter moon... According to Yang Menglong's observation of her, this woman squinted her eyes, indicating that she was going to play tricks, either pinching her face or scalp, You must cheer up.However, his experience was not very effective, because Hong Niangzi never pinched anyone's face from the beginning to the end, or clamped someone's neck with her arms and then squeezed his scalp with her fist...

The heart of a woman, the needle of the sea, this is absolutely true!

After a chatter, Huang Long said: "Young Commander Yang, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, it's better to go back to the general's mansion first, the last general has prepared thin wine to wash away the dust for everyone, let's drink to our heart's content first, and then discuss the strategy to defeat the enemy!"

Yang Menglong naturally had no objection.The city wall was not safe. If a blind shell flew over and immediately reimbursed the two generals and dozens of lieutenants and generals, Jin Zhun would laugh like crazy after that.A group of people went down the city wall and returned to the General Military Mansion the same way.When passing by the square, I saw that the [-] hoplites had been surrounded by refugees from Liaodong, and many of them had two children sitting on their broad shoulders, with innocent and honest smiles on their faces.Huang Long looked at these men in heavy armor, his gaze swiveled on their smooth and dull armor, and after a long time, he softly uttered two words: "Good soldiers!"

Yang Menglong scratched his head and said, "Their camp hasn't been arranged yet."

Huang Long glared at Li Weiluan: "Why haven't they arranged a camp for them yet? Do it right away and free up the best camp!"

Yang Menglong waved his hand and said, "No, just find a camp and arrange them to live there. However, their food standards are relatively high, and each person should eat at least three or four taels of meat every day. If there are wild vegetables and fruits, it is best Get them a little too, make sure they have enough strength, you know, that's what they fight with."

The Dongjiang generals stick out their tongues, my dear, the food standard is too scary, a small soldier is worth a boss, right?People like hundreds of people can't make Dongjiang town poor?But looking at how relaxed these hoplites are wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms, and looking at the huge ax that can split a cow alive, everyone feels that such treatment is a matter of course. , if there is no such generous treatment, how can they have such tyrannical strength and become can openers on the battlefield?Huang Long said to Li Weiluan: "Send some brothers out to sea every day to catch some fresh fish and come back...Beimen Jiannu was not besieged to death, and also sent some brothers out to pick some wild vegetables and come back. These brothers must eat well."

Li Weiluan memorized it and started to do it.Yang Menglong was a little puzzled, this lieutenant should have a high status, why did Huang Long send him like a grandson?Shang Keyi, Mao Yongjun and others looked envious. Huang Long was cultivating Li Weiluan. If Dongjiang Town wanted to survive behind the enemy lines and grow stronger, it had to establish a good relationship with Denglai's new army. Huanglong asked Li Weiluan to be responsible for the reception. The Denglai new army just wants him to accumulate some connections in the Denglai new army and plan for the future. This job is beyond the expectation of others.

Back at the General Military Mansion, the food and wine have been prepared.Although Lushun is dilapidated, the General Military Mansion is still a bit grand, and at least a dozen maids can be gathered to serve Yang Menglong and others.It's just that most of these maids are malnourished, and after the food and wine were served, Yang Menglong was quite disappointed:

The dishes were all fish, and the two leg of lamb inserted in a pot of boiled broad beans was considered the most attractive dish; as for the wine, it was all turbid and had a faint smell of rancidity!It's really sad that there is so little wine like this.

The general of Dongjiang town licked his lips, his Adam's apple wriggled together, and his eyes shone brightly.

Yang Menglong licked his lips, he couldn't find anything to eat at all.

Huang Long asked everyone to sit down, and said to Yang Menglong: "Lushun is in short supply of supplies, and I can't bring out anything decent to entertain little Yang Shuai. I have wronged little Yang Shuai." Using chopsticks, he picked up a thin leg of lamb and put it on Yang Menglong's plate Here, the other leg of lamb was divided into several parts, and each general had a share.There is only so little meat in the leg of lamb, and this portion is barely enough for one mouthful.The general who shared the mutton thanked him repeatedly, and Huang Long asked the maid to fill up the wine, raised his glass, and said, "Two years ago, Young Shuai Yang flew to the west of Liao, and the bloody battle at the Daling River was earth-shattering, and the slaves were frightened. Bloody, let Jiannu dare not underestimate my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! Now that the army of Jiannu is suppressing the border, Xiao Yang Shuai, regardless of personal safety, led the elite soldiers across the sea to help, taking the lead, and he is really a role model for our generation of soldiers! Huang Long is a rough man, say no What beautiful words come out, gentlemen, let us toast to young Shuai Yang!"

All the Dongjiang generals stood up together and raised their wine glasses to Yang Menglong.Yang Menglong quickly stood up, raised his glass to touch these generals, and then drank with his head held high.After taking a sip, his complexion changed, he puffed out his mouth and put down the wine glass, spewed out the whole wine with a "poof", and cursed: "It's sour and rotten, it's so fucking bad!"

The Dongjiang generals were stunned for a moment, and then laughed. They all thought that the champion was so straightforward and cute... This wine was indeed sour and rotten, and it was hard to swallow. If Yang Menglong pinched his nose and boasted, they would feel disgusted.Yang Menglong gave everyone a "hush" mysteriously, then took out the kettle and unscrewed it like a magic trick, and a strong smell of wine wafted out.He asked everyone to pour out the turbid wine that was similar to vinegar in their cups, each of them poured a cup, and said with a smile: "This is the potato wine we brewed ourselves, everyone, everyone, everyone!"

All the generals took a sip carefully, the taste was spicy and mellow, overbearing yet soft, everyone applauded in unison, saying that they hadn't had such a good wine for a long time.After half a glass of strong wine, everyone was full of pride, eating fish and drinking in small sips, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

In contrast, the atmosphere in Houjin Daying's camp was a bit dull.Of course they ate better, and the food and drink were more than ten times richer than those poor people in Dongjiang Town. There were also many beauties from the Mongolian prairie singing and dancing to add to the fun, but no one was very interested.

Abatai waved his hands in boredom to make those Mongolian beauties who were singing and dancing hard to retreat, and frowned and said, "Lushun...it's not easy to fight!"

All Baylor feel sorry for each other.They have all seen the performance of the Lushun defenders today. They are fierce and tenacious, far exceeding the previous ones. There are also a large number of powerful crossbows and well-made French cannons. Thousands of Dongjiang troops have turned Lushun into a big hedgehog. I don't know how much effort and how many people have died in a strong city. This kind of battle has always been reluctant to fight. With their little capital, how many times can they afford such tough battles?
Du Du said: "The Dongjiang Army has taken out all its old books this time. But so what? Sichuan Army, Zhejiang Army, which one is not as fierce and tenacious as the Dongjiang Army, but we are the ones who won in the end!"

Abate said: "I have never doubted that we can win, but the price may not be small!"

Everyone sighed again.After winning the battle of Hunhe, after the capture of Shenyang, the later Jin fought more and more smoothly. When encountering the Ming army, they often didn’t have to think about casualties at all. After a few rounds of arrow rain, let the cavalry rush, and the Ming army collapsed. Therefore, victory is no longer a rare thing for them, it is rare to lose a battle.However, the fierce battle with the Tianxiong Army and Wuyang Army at Daling River overturned their cognition. In that battle, the Ming Army suffered over [-] casualties, while the Hou Jin suffered six or seven thousand casualties. In the end, it was still the Hou Jin victory, but for the Hou Jin , such a disastrous victory is not as good as a defeat with less loss!Now Houjin is much more cautious, and he has to fully assess the risks in every battle.Now the performance of the Dongjiang army made them see such danger, and they had to be careful.But Lushun must fight, because with the support of Denglai, Dongjiang Town is recovering quickly and has a tendency to grow stronger. The battle of Gaizhou last year is the best example. If the Dongjiang Army is not driven out of the sea , Dongjiang Town will soon turn into a cecum on Hou Jin's body, or hemorrhoids, although it won't kill them, it will make them miserable!Huang Taiji gave the order to die, and he must take Lushun down. If they can't take Lushun down, they will lose their skins if they don't die!
Mang Gurtai just gnawed on the leg of lamb, which made his beard full of meat scraps and fat.Now he has gnawed away a lamb leg, threw the bone away, and said carelessly: "What's there to think about, it's fun to fight against such an opponent! If Dongjiang Town is still as easy to collapse as before, I will draw my sword I have no interest in cutting it off!"

Du Du said: "Having said that, we have to be more cautious..."

Yue Tuo said in a deep voice, "We don't have much time left!"

Everyone was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Yue Tuo said: "According to the information I have, the Ming Dynasty has ordered the entire country to support Lushun!"

Mang Gurtai sneered: "So what? Just rely on the cavalry of the Guan Ning Army to bomb the camp, or the navy of the Tianjin Guards that cannot reach the port?"

Yue Tuo said: "The Guanning Army and the Tianjin Guards are nothing to worry about, but the Wuyang and Tianxiong flying armies are a big worry!"

As soon as these two flying armies were mentioned, all the Belles fought coldly, and the nightmare by the Daling River clearly reappeared in their minds.They dared to laugh at Guan Ning's iron cavalry as "bombing camp iron cavalry", but they dared not underestimate these two flying troops!

Yue Tuo continued: "Not only the two flying troops, but also the Guanmen Sichuan Army and the Denglai New Army were ordered to cross the sea to help, and they will arrive soon!" He emphasized: "The strength of the Guanmen Sichuan Army is well known, and the Denglai New Army It is a complete replica of the Wuyang Army. The two divisions add up to more than 5000 people, plus the Tianxiong Army and Wuyang Army, and there are more than [-] elite troops! I, Da Jin, poured out all the soldiers of the country to attack Lushun, I am afraid that there is not much chance of winning!"

Mang Gurtai's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he exclaimed in surprise: "This is almost all the troops that Ming can fight have been transferred to southern Liaoning! Is Ming crazy? They don't want it anywhere else, do they?" ?”

Yue Tuo smiled wryly: "Who knows!" He drank the wine glass in one gulp, then threw the wine glass far away, and said fiercely: "The Ming court is determined to torture us to death in Lushun! However, they are wishful thinking , They completely forgot how the cities of Benxi, Tieling, Liaoyang, Guangning, and Shenyang were lost!"
