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

Chapter 439

In the mountainous area of ​​southern Liaoning, about a hundred miles away from Lushunkou.

This area was originally relatively prosperous. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they immigrated to the northeast vigorously. After more than 200 years of reproduction, the Han people in Liaodong have multiplied to more than 500 million. Towns have been built on the Northeast Plain, and thousands of miles have been reclaimed. The fertile land made the originally desolate Northeast flourish rapidly.As the best port in the Northeast, Lushun is naturally more lively. The timber, ginseng, and fur goods in the Northeast are loaded here, and they are shipped to Shandong by boat. The grain and cloth from Shandong are also shipped by boat. The developed maritime trade makes Lushun became one of the best cities in Liaodong.However, Nurhachi rebelled and swept the entire Liaodong, killing the poor first, and then killing the rich. The Han people in Liaodong were either slaughtered or became slaves. Lushun was also destroyed by the war.

The Han people in Liaodong still stick to this place, clinging to Jinzhou and Lushun, cities that have long since dispersed.This is their last stronghold in the Liaodong Peninsula. If they lose Jinzhou and Lushun, they will be completely driven out of the Liaodong Peninsula and become homeless.This was a desperate watch. They persisted here for year after year, but never saw a glimmer of hope of regaining Shenyang. What was left was that the imperial army was defeated again and again, and their last few bases in the Liaodong Peninsula were eroded again and again.But no matter what, they are still holding on. The knees of the Han people in Liaodong are not so easy to bend.

Dongjiang Town is indeed not as good as before.After Mao Wenlong's death, there were many internal strife and even fighting in Dongjiang Town, which was originally monolithic. Kong Youde refused to accept Chen Jisheng, and took tens of thousands of young men to Shandong to vote for Sun Yuanhua. Liu Xing swindled Chen Jisheng and replaced him. , now that Huanglong is the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, he can't hold back the gang of arrogant soldiers. Dongjiang Town basically has its own way, no one wants to kill anyone, and its strength is getting weaker and weaker.However, the situation has improved this year. A large amount of food, weapons, armor and even artillery have been continuously transported from Shandong. The strength of the Huanglong family has increased sharply. They came over to try to get a piece of the action... Although they are more interested in sharing some weapons and supplies, it is a good sign that they are willing to sit down and talk, after all, isn't it?What's more gratifying is that Shandong has begun to accept a large number of Liao people. Almost every day, a large number of Liao people drag their families on board, head to Denglai, and then become military households and are resettled. The burden on Dongjiang Town has been greatly reduced. , was able to concentrate on continuing to deal with Jiannu.No, Gaizhou was conquered last year, more than [-] people were beheaded, and the whole of southern Liaoning was shaken. Jiannu was so frightened that he moved the entire front back again and again, not daring to be as arrogant as before.Now the sentry cavalry in Dongjiang Town can have the courage to move a hundred miles away from Lushun, which was unimaginable before!
It was already late at night, a dozen horses were greedily gnawing on the fresh green grass on the grass, and a dozen sentry riders from Dongjiang town lit a fire and hung up two earthen jars.The thick and long noodles of potato noodles in the crock were writhing in the boiling water. Two powerful soldiers pinned them to the ground. He dug out a box of canned food in that baby bag and pried it open, dug out the sauced beef and cut it into pieces, and threw it in very generously, and another guy went too far, digging out the bag is not cheap even in the interior Put cheese, tea, and brown sugar into the boiling water one by one. Not to mention how enjoyable it is.The Bai Boss screamed in anxiety and struggled with all his strength, but if two big men held him down, how could he move?He could only yell in vain: "You guys keep some for me!" The more he yelled, the more the two guys let it go, and in the blink of an eye, they ruined all the good things he had managed to get.

A can of beef was wiped out by the scourge, and the seemingly honest and honest guy was still not satisfied, so he reached into the bag to feel it again. His own guy kicked away, and rushed over to snatch back his baby bag in the attitude of a hungry tiger. When he looked at the contents, it was miserable, and there were not many of them.He yelled: "You bastards, I managed to get this little thing, and you ruined it all at once! I will remember you all, and I will deal with you one by one when I go back!"

The honest-looking guy picked out some beef dregs from the can and put it into his mouth, tasted it intoxicatedly, and laughed straight: "Don't be so stingy! Based on your relationship with the chief soldier, I want to get something delicious. Isn't it easy?"

Mr. Bai snorted, "It's so easy? It's so easy, you guys don't know how strict my uncle is with me!" There are scars everywhere, including knife wounds and arrow wounds, walking a little bow-legged, but once riding a war horse, it seems to be nailed there, no matter how the war horse is bumped, it will not move at all. Wine, a ruthless character who goes a long way and fights tough battles.His name is Huang Yulang, and he is the nephew of the general soldier Huang Long. He grew up in the flames of war since he was a child, and he has developed excellent skills at a young age. Can't get close to him.Huanglong also valued him quite a lot, and entrusted all sentry riders to him.Dongjiang Town has always been short of war horses, and the number of sentry cavalry is scarce, so Huang Yulang has a very long job with the title of chief hundred.These sentry cavalry are good brothers who have lived and died with him. If they get some wine and meat, they will share it with everyone. When they meet Jiannu sentry cavalry, they will fight side by side.This reconnaissance trip was personally arranged by Huang Long. Later Jin's transfers in southern Liaoning became more and more frequent. The mountains and rains were about to come, and Huang Long had fought all his life. How could he not have noticed?Before leaving, I gave this nephew a few more canned beef and a small bag of tea for him to take with him on the road.Dongjiang Town is notorious for its lack of supplies. A few pieces of beef and a small bag of tea are things that money can't buy. Naturally, Huang Yulang cherishes them very much. After the waste is clean, he will naturally blow up.

The man in his thirties ignored him, stirred the crock pot with chopsticks, and shouted, "I'm eating potato noodles, I'm eating potato noodles!" The lunch box was filled, and when the potato noodles were received, the first thing was to see if there was any beef in it.After all, the distribution was fair, and everyone ate like wolves, sucking the hot potato noodles with their mouths, making such a loud noise that they accidentally thought they had entered a pig farm.

After the last bit of soup in the earthen pot was wiped out, everyone washed their lunch boxes and the loyal man distributed them. Each person got a small half of the lunch box and the steaming tea soup, and drank it happily.Huang Yulang received the largest portion, which somewhat calmed down the anger in his heart.

The loyal man sat next to Huang Yulang, took a sip of the tea soup, and said comfortably: "Good thing, after a day of riding a horse, after drinking a few sips of this tea soup, the bones are a few taels lighter, and I don't know where I am when I'm tired. Where did you go... Dalang, we are almost at Jiannu's territory, should we go back to Lushun tomorrow?"

Huang Yulang said: "I want to explore further."

Everyone was surprised: "Still going forward? If you continue going forward, you may not be able to return home!"

Huang Yulang frowned and said: "Ever since we captured Gaizhou, Jiannu has been making constant moves, and now it is even more aggressive. No one knows if they will attack Lushun! We must find out their latest movements... nothing The big deal is that if a person dies, a bird will turn to the sky, and he will not die for thousands of years!"

The crowd was not as free and easy as he was. After all, they had already touched Jiannu's nose, and if they went any further, they might collide with Jiannu's sentry horses, and they would lose a few lives, which was not worth it.When everyone was about to talk, Huang Yulang suddenly threw away the lunch box, threw a large handful of wet mud over the firepit to put out the fire, lay down on the ground, and listened intently with his ears pressed to the ground.The dozen or so sentry cavalry of the Ming army also dropped their unfinished tea soup without hesitation, lying on the ground, like a group of hunters who found a ferocious beast approaching.

The pebbles on the ground trembled slightly, this was by no means an illusion.

Huang Yulang lowered his voice and said, "A large group of cavalry is coming this way!"

The loyal man hummed: "I heard it all, what should I do?"

Huang Yulang said: "Get on the horse, let's go to that gentle slope, where we can see farther!"

Everyone looked dignified, quickly packed up their things and got on their horses, clamping the horse's belly, the horse ran towards the gentle slope a hundred paces away.

The gentle slope is not high, only about 50 meters, but the terrain in this area is flat, and with such a commanding height, you can see the distance.A dozen riders carefully separated the bushes, climbed up the gentle slope, and looked into the distance. What they saw made them dumbfounded.

fire flow!

Tens of thousands of torches merged into a stream of fire that swept away in the direction of Jinzhou and Lushun!
The rear golden cavalry each held a torch, and galloped their horses against the night wind blowing from the sea. When the torches were still, they looked like stars falling from the sky and scattered all over the ground. When they moved, they looked like stars. A river formed by flames, the magnificent picture, and the soaring murderous aura made these sentinel riders chill all over, speechless.

After the battle of Dalinghe, he had been hiding in the hinterland of Liaodong and licking his wounds. After recuperating, Houjin finally responded to Dongjiang Town’s capture of Gaizhou last year. They had had enough of Dongjiang Town’s endless harassment and decided to cut off this pile of hemorrhoids. , even if she bleeds for it!Judging from this posture, they have at least dispatched more than three banners of troops, and they will not give up until they uproot Jinzhou Lushun!
Whoosh whoosh!

Before he had time to exclaim at this magnificent and terrifying scene, the sharp arrow pierced through the air.There are two generations of Hou Jinzu who have spent their entire youth in the flames of war, and each of them has experienced many battles. Naturally, they are not ignorant of the role of this gentle slope.In order to ensure the secrecy of the mobilization of the main force of the army, they released dozens of times more sentry horses than Dongjiang Town, and opened the powerful security curtain. Huang Yulang's small sentry horses just hit their fangs, and the moonlight Underneath, twenty or thirty fierce light-clothed flying knights roared over, their strong bows stretched into a full moon, and their arrows shot like arrows at the sentry cavalry of the Ming army occupying this small commanding height.Their arrows were precise and powerful. Immediately, three or four sentry cavalry of the Ming army were shot in the vital point, and they fell to the ground screaming, convulsed a few times and then became silent.That loyal man sternly shouted: "Get off your horse, draw your crossbow, and shoot them back!"

These sentry cavalry are the most brave and brave soldiers in the Ming army, and their equipment is naturally not bad. Needless to say, saber and armor, each of them is also equipped with a mountain mulberry crossbow. The sentry cavalry caused many casualties to Jiannu.After receiving the order, the remaining eleven sentry riders got off their horses without saying a word, unloaded the crossbow treadmill and wound it, inserted a crossbow arrow into the arrow groove, and a series of movements were extremely smooth.Huang Yulang raised his crossbow and was about to shoot, but the loyal man pushed him away hard: "What are you still doing here? Go back and report to Shuai Huang!"

Huang Yulang gritted his teeth and said, "We came out together, let's go together!"

The man's loyal and dull face was slightly distorted, and he shouted sharply: "Bullshit! Could it be that you want everyone to die here, and then the brothers who guard Jinzhou Lushun have their heads cut off by Jian Nu while they are still in their dreams? go!"

Deng Deng Deng Deng!

There was a metallic trembling sound, and the crossbow arrows shot out. Several Houjin light-armored flying knights who were galloping seemed to have been jangled by the bridle ropes, and they fell to the ground together with their horses. This thing is really useful!After shooting this arrow, everyone loaded the arrow as fast as possible and shouted at Huang Yulang: "Get out of here, don't stop me from killing the enemy!"

Huang Yulang's nose was a little sour, and his voice was choked up: "I'm leaving, what should you do?"

The loyal man pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the strong bow in the hand of a Houjin Knight who rushed within thirty steps was thrown a few meters away, and he screamed while holding the short arrow shaft that was left outside his body. The horse immediately hung up.This commotion was not small, there were thunderous hooves in all directions, and I don't know how many golden cavalrymen came towards them.His face twitched, and he said, "Where is there so much nonsense? Remember to burn some paper money for the brothers to enjoy in the underworld during the New Year and holidays, just go away!"

The last word is simply a roar.

Huang Yulang gritted his teeth, jumped on the horse's back and turned the horse's head, let out a roar towards the sky, and galloped down the gentle slope towards Lushun.Behind him, a dozen or so brothers were enduring the sharp arrows flying like locusts and shooting at the ground with a strong crossbow. After shooting two arrows, they immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the golden knight who had already killed in front of him. They fought together, and this little sentinel cavalry was instantly overwhelmed by the rolling iron cavalry...
