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

Chapter 470 Everyone Has Their Own Plans
Yang Menglong made up his mind to use the defense system of minefield barbed wire, strong crossbows and unconscionable cannons to kill Hou Jin's army, but Hou Jin is not an idiot, they have already experienced the power of barbed wire, and know that this line of defense is no more expensive than a wall. The city wall built with ten thousand taels of silver was easy to fight. Until they found a way to destroy the barbed wire fence, they refused to attack again. Instead, they sent people over every day to scold them, trying to motivate the Ming army to leave the barbed wire defense system and fight against them outside.The Ming army is also not an idiot. Since there is such a big advantage to take advantage of, idiots go out to fight with those animals. The more Hou Jin scolded them, the happier they were. They even lit a fire and started a barbecue in front of Hou Jin. On the contrary, the morale of the queen general was half dead.

The people inside didn't want to go out, and the people outside couldn't get in. The war became a war of words. Everyone sprayed each other through the barbed wire all day long. A few arrows, and then go back angrily, a battle that was destined to be extremely bloody turned into a joke.Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yang Menglong's barbed wire fence had completely baffled Houjin. They had difficulty getting in, but they were unwilling to withdraw like this. They could only stay outside Lushun City to fight the Ming army.This is very detrimental to Hou Jin. As time goes by, reinforcements from the Ming army will arrive one after another. At that time, it will not be a question of whether they can win Lushun, or they will have to lose their troops!
Yang Menglong was busy strengthening his defense system, Huanglong was also not idle, wrote a memorial, and sent it to the capital to report the victory together with more than 700 heads he had previously captured.In the memorial, he praised Yang Menglong fiercely, saying that the reinforcements you sent over this time, the emperor, are very powerful. With their support, we can beat Jiannu to death!The head work was given to Yang Menglong. Of course, he didn't give up his own share, and he also praised several confidantes one by one. The implication is: Boss, we did a good job, reward us severely!Chongzhen was in a nervous mood at first, but after seeing the news of victory and the loot, Longyan was delighted, and said to the civil and military officials in high spirits in the morning: "The defenders of Lushun fought bloody battles under the command of the champion. They won three battles and three victories, beheading more than seven hundred Level, it's hard to beat the thunder pool even half a step away! I'm not mistaken, Yang Menglong is indeed the champion of Ming Dynasty!"

All civil and military officials were surprised for a while, beheading more than [-] ranks, this is a big victory, you know, the Ningyuan victory that made the Ming court ecstatic, the rank was only [-]!What's the matter with Jiannu, usually so fierce and invincible, how come when he meets that bastard, it's like a mouse seeing a cat, except for being beaten, he will give away his head, and if he meets that bastard, he will be beaten?I don't understand, I really don't understand!

I don't understand if I don't understand, but there is one thing that is clearly stated, that is: the big boss is very happy now, everyone, don't spoil his interest!Therefore, all the civil and military officials shouted long live, vying to praise Chongzhen for his insight and talent, and chose a champion like Yang Menglong, after the fight, Jin lost his temper at all.Chongzhen became more and more excited, and Sun Chengzong struck while the iron was hot, saying: "The champion Hou has the courage to humiliate Jiannu severely. Lushun is determined to win, relying on Dongjiang Town and the Denglai New Army alone, it will be difficult to deal with it. Your Majesty should order Tianjin Wei to step up the mobilization of sea ships to send the Guanmen Sichuan Army across the sea, and at the same time urge the Guanning Army to step up the attack in the direction of Shenyang , Containing Jiannu, with such a multi-pronged approach, we can be sure of victory!"

It was only then that Chongzhen remembered that the Tianjin Guards were still doing foreign work, and the Guanmen Sichuan Army was still arguing repeatedly with the Tianjin Guards and the Guan Ning Army over the supply of food and grass.He frowned and said, "Let Tianjin Wei speed up! The Tianxiong Army is almost arriving in Tianjin, and the Guanmen Sichuan Army hasn't gone to sea yet. What are they going to do? They must send all the Guanmen Sichuan Army to Lushun within three days, otherwise we will Want their heads!"

No one can resist the emperor's will. After receiving the imperial decree, Tianjin Wei finally moved. The bilge, which was said to be leaking, was quickly repaired. The rigging that was said to be damaged by mice was also replaced. Fu Zonglong dug the ground Relevant officials who couldn't be found within three feet now popped up one by one, taking in big packages, and very readily brought over the supply of food and grass for the Guanmen Sichuan Army... All of them were so generous and efficient that Fu Zonglong almost didn't know them.With the concerted efforts of Tianjin Wei officials, soon, ships full of soldiers and supplies left the port and set sail to Lushun.Fu Zonglong sighed: "If you showed this energy earlier, even if you only put in half of it, things will be done in a hurry now!" Tianjin Wei officials kept saying yes with a lost smile, but secretly rolled their eyes , I said in my heart: "Can we blame us? At the beginning, there was no hope of winning at all. Who would invest their capital in it!" The army has a great chance of winning, and they can share a lot of military exploits, so they are naturally full of enthusiasm!
Two days later, the Tianxiong Army, which was not far from Beijing, also received the good news that the Lushun Ming Army had won three battles and three victories.Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "That kid's fighting skills are getting better and better...Let the soldiers speed up, otherwise before we arrive, the champion will kill all those tens of thousands of slaves, and we will What a waste of time!"

The already exhausted Tianxiong Army received the order, their morale was boosted, and they yelled wildly. Under the impossible circumstances, the speed was greatly accelerated.Now they are only three days away from Tianjin, and less than ten days have passed since their departure. This terrifying speed proves to everyone that the Tianxiong Army is still the unstoppable flying army that is as fast as the wind and thunder. And their fangs have been honed even sharper.

Xue Siming also received the good news from Chuanqi. He read it blankly and ordered: "Hurry up! You must arrive in Denglai within five days... If you don't hurry up, Jiannu will be killed by the general!"

The Heluo new army blew across Shandong like a black storm and went straight to Denglai.

Three victories in three battles and more than [-] levels of beheading made the Ming army suddenly optimistic. The fighting machine of the Ming Dynasty, which was almost rusted and almost unable to turn, stepped up and turned. Get a share of military exploits from it.Of course, some people don't think so, such as Guan Ningjun...

Wu Sangui is still taking his troops to play in the sea. The sea boats they need to cross the sea have not been ready until now.After receiving the good news from the imperial court, this man was obviously stunned for a moment, a little dazed.Originally, according to his thinking, the Lushun Dongjiang Army would definitely be defeated. Crossing the sea to rescue would only take his own elite troops in vain. Not lost, but three battles and three victories, beheading more than seven hundred levels?

Wu Xiang sighed: "That Yang Menglong still has a way of fighting, he can win such a difficult battle... Uncle, judging from the current situation, it may be difficult for Jiannu to take advantage of Lushun. Don't send some soldiers over there to help the Dongjiang army?" The meaning is very obvious: this is a good opportunity to gain military exploits, don't let it go!
Wu Sangui originally had a bit of intention to go for military exploits, but when he heard the word "Yang Menglong", he became furious. He did not forget how Yang Menglong played with him and Gao Qiqian in Dengzhou last year!And according to Chongzhen's intention, Yang Menglong had the full authority to command all Ming army troops in the Lushun area. If he led troops there, he would still have to obey Yang Menglong's command, which would be more uncomfortable than killing him!He gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, that kid just won the battle by luck. What's the big deal? Once Jiannu gets angry, if he fights to the death, he will definitely not be able to hold on!"

Wu Xiang frowned slightly: "You mean, take another look?"

Wu Sangui said categorically: "My boy, what should I do? How should I do it! Jiannu has not launched a large-scale offensive against Lushun so far. Who knows what they have in mind? What if this is their trap, and we If you plunge in headlong, wouldn't you lose your wife and lose your army!"

Wu Xiang thought about it and felt it made sense, so he said no more.He sighed and said: "Uncle, if you can, you should still have a good relationship with that Yang Menglong. This person's talent is extraordinary, and his luck is surprisingly better. It is not good for you to be an enemy of him!"

Wu Sangui had a gloomy face and did not speak, it was obvious that he did not listen.In Dengzhou, Yang Menglong and the Heluo New Army offended him severely, and he would never let Yang Menglong go easily.

In Jinzhou.

The ancestral Guan Ning army was still wandering around Jinzhou City, and the range of activities did not exceed ten miles from the beginning to the end. If the imperial court pressed hard, they would perform a bombing camp that had already been perfected, and had a great time.After receiving the victory report, Zu Dale went to find Zu Dashou, and said euphemistically, "Brother, Lushun fought well. Jiannu has been fighting for so long but has not been able to surpass the thunder pool. On the contrary, he has lost troops and generals. Now that we have some skills, should we also show some real skills?"

Zu Dashou gave him a gloomy look: "What do you mean?"

Zu Dale said: "In this battle, the imperial court mobilized almost all the elite troops. The Guanmen Sichuan Army, Heluo New Army, Tianxiong Army, and Denglai New Army all participated in the battle. Yang Menglong, Lu Xiangsheng, Xue Siming, Zhong Ning, Qian Yu , Lei Shisheng, Qin Yiming, Qin Liangyu and other good generals also all appeared on the scene. Such a battle has attracted the attention of the whole country. I'm afraid it will be inappropriate for our Guan Ning Army to continue to stand by and watch. Do you think we should take advantage of the empty defense of Jiannu and pull out a few more people from Jinzhou? A nearby stronghold, or let me lead a group of elite troops to Lushun to join the battle, so that I can give an account to the court?"

Zu Dashou stood up with a loud cry, stared at Zu Dale, and said loudly: "Fight, fight, you know how to fight, and you don't even think about it. Jiannu is really so easy to fight? Do you really think Jiannu is a soft persimmon?"

Zu Dale said: "No... This time the court really mobilized almost all the elite soldiers and generals. With such a strong fighting force, they can definitely fight against Jiannu!"

Zu Dashou became more and more angry: "How about the battle of the Daling River? The imperial court mobilized no less than [-] elites. As a result, they were wiped out by the Jiannu in batches by the Daling River, especially our Guanning Army." , The loss is heavy, and I haven’t recovered until now!” The more he talked, the more excited he became, waving his arms and said: “These soldiers and horses are the capital for us to live and work in this troubled world. Therefore, every step must be cautious and cautious, and impulsiveness is absolutely unacceptable! Besides, even if the battle of Lushun is won, what good will it do for the ancestors? It’s okay to lose. Get hotheaded, support Dongjiang Town vigorously, and allocate large sums of military pay and military equipment to them, but our Guan Ning Army will get nothing in the end!"

Zu Dale's heart turned cold, and his blood suddenly turned cold.He has a deep memory of the scene of fighting side by side with Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Menglong, slashing the head of the enemy with a knife. He heard that Yang Menglong and Lu Xiangsheng both participated in the battle this time, so he wanted to join the battle, but he realized it after being scolded by Zu Dashou. , Guan Ningjun is a group, it has its own will, it has its own interests and needs, it is not up to him alone!Judging from Zu Dashou's tone, not only would he not send troops to help in this battle, but he also hoped that Lushun's Ming army would lose out of control, so that it would be in the interests of Guan Ning's army!Having figured this out, he walked out of the general's mansion silently, as if he had a rusty copper coin in his mouth, bitter and astringent.

Zu Dabi walked over to meet him, and asked, "How is it?"

Zu Dale raised his head, shook it, and lowered it again.

Zu Dabi widened his eyes and shouted: "Brother still refuses to agree? Damn it, there is a large army gathering in Lushun, killing people like rivers of blood, but we keep circling around Jinzhou. What's the point of this!? I'll go tell eldest brother!" As he said, he was about to go inside.

Zu Dale grabbed him, and said with a bitter expression: "Don't go, brother won't agree... He is no longer the same Zu Dashou as before!"

Zu Dabi angrily kicked on a pillar.He can only vent like this.

The pillar remained motionless, except for a faint shoe print.

That's it.
