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

Chapter 493
"Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Yang Menglong sneezed twice in a row, and the snot bubbles came out.He rubbed his nose and muttered to himself: "I don't have a cold, why do you keep sneezing? Could it be that my wife misses me?" Now they are camping ten miles away from Erwangtun, and the military medical officer is treating the wounded soldiers overnight. Almost passed out from exhaustion.Probably because the battle was too cool. After the Ming army captured Jin Daying, they set fire to the tents when they saw them, and even stepped on them directly. So many tents were burned like this. The ones that were considered intact were also used to accommodate the wounded soldiers. Those who were not injured had to make beds from the sky and the ground, and lay their heads on the saddle for the night.

There were clusters of bonfires everywhere in the camp, and the soldiers of the Ming army, whose bloodstains had not been washed off, sat around the fire, chatting and laughing happily, wearing strips of meat cut from dead horses with sharpened wooden sticks, and roasting them sizzlingly. It was oily, and it was half-baked and started to gobble it up.The aura of the victors is completely different from those who have not won the battle. Their morale is high and they are full of self-confidence. Even if a mountain stands in front of them, they can kick over with one foot!I believe that if they encounter the Houjin army again, they will rush forward and tear it into pieces without hesitation, instead of being afraid and retreating as before.The opponents are still so cunning and aggressive, they have not changed, only themselves have changed.

Yang Menglong, Qi Hu, Li Yan, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming, Mao Yongjun, Wu Sheng and others were sitting around the fire. A small pot was set on the fire. In the pot, a large piece of horse meat was bubbling with gravy. Sprinkle with a little pepper, it is really fragrant.Everyone was very hungry, so they randomly found two broken arrows, cut them into chopsticks with the arrow shafts, fished out a large piece of horse meat from the pot, and ate it, making the nearby soldiers salivate.

Yang Menglong ate his mouth full of gravy, and asked with a smile: "How does this horse meat taste?"

Qin Yiming was too lazy to say anything and gave him a thumbs up.

Qin Liangyu said: "It's delicious, especially this spicy one, which suits our Sichuan people's appetite." Putting down his chopsticks with some regret, he sighed: "I'm too old to eat it!"

Yang Menglong chewed the horse meat, and said vaguely: "It is said that Lian Po is seventy and eighty years old and can still eat a bucket of rice and ten catties of meat in one meal. Aunt Qin, you are also a hero among women, and you can't even eat a tenth of Lao Lianpo. Can't make it?"

Qin Liangyu rolled his eyes: "I'm not a pig, how can I be so edible!"

Everyone laughed.

Mao Yongjun was hit by arrows in the fierce battle, and he was shot like a hedgehog, but this guy's bones were strong enough, and he was able to talk, laugh, eat and drink after a breath of relief.He ate two catties of horse meat in one go, then stopped, looked at the soldiers talking and laughing, and sighed: "It's rare, I have fought for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen our army so relaxed after the war." .”

Yang Menglong said: "If you win the battle, of course it's easy!"

Mao Yongjun was a little sad: "It's a pity that Huang Shuai didn't see it..."

Thinking of the heroic death of Huanglong, everyone felt a little sad.Huanglong may be very greedy, maybe he loves to drink soldiers' blood, but he was thrown into a mess by the Houjin cavalry behind the Ming army. When he was about to collapse, he stepped forward without hesitation, leading the Dongjiang army to fight to the death by setting an example, blocking the rear with his flesh and blood. The impact of the golden cavalry bought time for the heavy infantry, and just for this, his death was heavier than Mount Tai.Yang Menglong said: "Huang Shuai's blood will not be shed in vain!"

Lu Xiangsheng was also full, so he threw his chopsticks into the fire, and asked Yang Menglong, "What do you plan to do next? Should we just withdraw our troops and return to the capital to report victory, or continue to pursue?"

Yang Menglong said: "Of course it is to take advantage of the victory to pursue them, and take advantage of Jiannu's disease to kill them!" He took out the map and drew a circle around Lushun with his finger, saying: "Lushun has been saved, but Jinzhou is still in Jiannu's hands. The cities of Zhouzhou, Fuzhou, and Nanguan are still in their hands, and I will take advantage of this victory to bring back all these cities and completely drive Jiannu out of Dalian Bay!"

Lu Xiangsheng found it interesting: "Dalian Bay?"

Yang Menglong said: "I plan to call the bay surrounded by more than 20 islands around Jinzhou and Lushun as Dalian Bay, and Jinzhou, Lushun, and Fuzhou will be merged into one area called Dalian." He clenched his hands into fists and said: " This is a treasure land with a warm climate, a seaport that never freezes, and ships that can be navigated all year round. Whether it is developing fisheries or growing fruits, there is a lot to do here. As long as we can firmly control the Dalian area, we can move another 10,000+ People come here, and it will soon turn this place into one of the most prosperous areas in the country!"

Mao Yongjun smiled wryly: "Young Shuai Yang, don't be joking. Our Dongjiang is so poor that even mice don't want to stay here, and we still have 10,000+ people here? Ghosts are willing to come!"

Yang Menglong said: "The land here is so fertile, and the seafood here is so rich, how could no one want to come? Hehe, it's not easy for no one to come? Aren't there bandits? Just catch them and send them to the ship. It's over!" Closing the map, he said loudly, "Believe me, as long as the situation stabilizes, this place will soon become a beautiful and rich paradise. You are not willing to accept it yet!"

Qi Hu said with a smile: "I have no doubt about it."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "I also firmly believe in this point. Xiao Yang Shuai has no other skills, but his ability to farm and do business is superb. He said that if he can get rich here, he will definitely be rich."

Yang Menglong frowned: "What do you mean I don't have other skills? Can I not fight? Who won today's battle?"

Lu Xiangsheng asked slowly: "Can you recite poetry?"

Yang Menglong's face froze, and he said, "No..."

Lu Xiangsheng asked: "Will you be right?"

Yang Menglong lowered his voice a lot: "A lot..."

Lu Xiangsheng asked: "Can you taste tea? Can you play the piano? Can you do calligraphy? Can you..."

Yang Menglong interrupted, crying: "Stop! I admit it, I don't have any other skills, so I will farm and do business..." It's okay not to admit it, and it's self-inflicted to compete with this Confucian general .

The crowd laughed.

After joking for a while, Li Yan frowned suddenly, and said, "If your lord really wants to take back Jinzhou, then please act quickly, otherwise, once Jiannu regains his breath and regains his fighting spirit, we will fight to the death with Jinzhou's strong city." The army must suffer heavy casualties!"

Yang Menglong waved his hands again and again, and said, "Don't rush, don't rush, rest enough and start again. After fighting for a day, I'm exhausted like a dog, and I have to run nearly two hundred miles to besiege Jinzhou. Even an iron man can't bear it. Take a break and go."

Li Yan was in a hurry: "My lord, soldiers are precious and fast!"

Mao Yongjun got up and said: "My lord, what Mr. Li said is very true! The new army and the Sichuan army were exhausted after fighting hard. Of course, they should take a good rest, but the [-] Dongjiang army led by Lieutenant General Li did not participate in the battle. They have sufficient physical strength. At the end of the day, the general will lead these five thousand new and cutting-edge troops to recover Jinzhou!"

Yang Menglong pressed him down and said, "Why are you in a hurry? I tell you, the next battle will be easy. We can walk forty miles a day and just walk slowly. When we get to Jinzhou, um, Jiannu It’s almost gone.”

Everyone was stunned: "They ran away!? Why did they run away?" Mao Yongjun shook his head again and again: "Impossible. Although Jiannu suffered a disastrous defeat, the main force is still there. They are far from being frightened by our army and fleeing!"

Yang Menglong sneered: "Don't run? It's fine if you don't run, just stay in the fertile land of Jinzhou. My Transformers fleet is already hungry and thirsty!"

The next day, Brother Shang Kexi led [-] elite troops to join them. The Ming army left some men who had not recovered their strength to escort the wounded soldiers back to Lushun. The main force broke camp and began to pursue.Now they exchanged shotguns for cannons. Not only did they seize a large amount of grain from Houjin, they also seized seven to eight thousand war horses. This loss made Houjin feel the urge to vomit blood.The horses left by the Heluo New Army and Tianxiong Army in Lushun were also sent over. With this move, nearly two-thirds of the Ming army mounted their horses and headed towards Dalian at a speed of forty kilometers per day. The end is majestic.Even the Shang Kexi brothers were assigned a lot of war horses and weapons and equipment. The two brothers said that following Yang Menglong in the war was a great deal. Regardless of whether they participated in the war or not, as long as they did what he told them to do, they would always be able to divide the spoils. You have a share——This point quickly became the consensus of the Ming army, and a very interesting phenomenon formed: as long as Yang Menglong participated in the war, the Ming army always had high morale, like wolves and tigers, and its combat effectiveness increased sharply. Six thousand geese; if Yang Menglong does not participate in the war, their morale will be low. They will remain the same as before, nothing has changed.

The Hou Jin army fled too fast, and the Ming army must not be able to catch up with such a slow pace. Many Ming troops who did not gain any military exploits were in a hurry. A fight.But Yang Menglong unequivocally refused, what kind of international joke are you making, day and night?You are not afraid of exhausting yourselves to death, but I am afraid that you will run away the horses to death. Is it easy for me to capture these horses!When Ji Jingfeng meets Slow Langzhong, Ming Jun jumps his feet in anxiety!
In the early morning of the third day, Cao Jun flew to report: "We have surrounded an enemy army in Heilinzi. They have neither broken through nor surrendered. They have spent two days with us!"

Yang Menglong became interested: "How many of them are there?"

Cao Jun said: "At least 1000 people are all Mongolians."

Yang Menglong chuckled: "Ganqing is the cannon fodder left behind by Jiannu, there is nothing to say, eat them!"

Cao Jun couldn't wish for it. The Mongolian cavalry controlled the official road, and the camp was quite stable. There were too few chasseurs around him, and they couldn't attack. After two days, no matter how good their temper was, they were worn out. What can I say?Lead the way, lead the way quickly!
Nearly [-] Ming troops surrounded the city like dark clouds, and in a blink of an eye, the small camp was completely surrounded. The howitzers were quickly set up, and the black muzzles were aimed at the camp. They waited for Yang Menglong's order, and then bombarded it It became a sea of ​​fire.The general of the Ming army, who had been holding back for two days, was so excited that his eyes shot wildly, gearing up, and ran to Yang Menglong to challenge: "Champion, let us go! No need to fire, such a small camp, we can take it down with one charge!"

Yang Menglong waved his hand and observed the camp with a telescope.It can be seen that the Mongolian cavalry who are accustomed to field battles are not good at this kind of fighting method of forming a stronghold and fighting stupidly. The entire military stronghold is erected here and there, and there are loopholes everywhere. It is certainly not easy for the attacking side to break in, but It is a bit difficult for the defensive side to turn around.There are more than 3000 horses and many cattle and sheep in such a small camp. How can it not be crowded?The strange thing is that the Mongolian soldiers looked very calm when the main force of the Ming army arrived, not panicking at all, and seemed to be confident.He found it interesting, so he rode the idiot forward for hundreds of meters, hoping to see it more clearly, but he was seen from the other side. On the wall of the village, a burly Mongolian man said in a deep voice: "The person coming is from the Ming Dynasty." Champion Hou, the commander-in-chief of the Heluo New Army, General Yang?"

All the soldiers secretly screamed, and quickly stood in front of Yang Menglong.However, Yang Menglong didn't care, pushed aside the crowd, and said loudly: "It's me!"

The man asked in a deep voice: "The champion is here, but he wants to persuade us to surrender?"

Yang Menglong swears to God, he really didn't mean to persuade the Mongolian cavalry to surrender, but since he said so, the most important thing is that the group of Mongolian cavalry actually looked forward to it, and he was embarrassed to say that he was actually here to scout the enemy. He simply said generously: "That's right! As you can see, we have 2 people, and you are just a small number of people. If one of us punches you, you will leak all over your body. There is really no need to fight this battle. You still have to fight!" Surrender!"

The red lady whispered behind him: "You will be scolded!"

It is true that you will be scolded. Since ancient times, those who persuade the enemy to surrender on the battlefield have always been scolded. Regardless of whether the opponent wants to surrender or not, when they see those who persuade them to surrender, they must first scold the envoy to show off their integrity. Let's talk about surrendering with the determination to fight to the end, and this time I'm afraid it will be no exception.

The man stared at Yang Menglong, and asked, "Did Champion Hou sincerely persuade us to surrender?"

Yang Menglong became impatient: "Where did you come from with all this nonsense? Are you going to surrender or not? Give me a refreshing word!"

The red lady gloated: "I'm going to scold you, I'm going to scold you!"

The man's beard and hair were all stretched out, his eyes were like cold lightning, his breath sank in his dantian, and his voice was like a torrent of bells: "We surrender!"

The red lady nearly dislocated her jaw: "Surrender...surrender? Shouldn't you scold for a while before surrendering?" Zaji Chongweng, Shi Tianbao and other soldiers also collapsed. This result is completely different from what was agreed... …
