Chapter 397: Taking over Youtun
In the face of Jianyu's withdrawal, the Ming army in Youtun did not have a trace of joy.
More than half of Zu Dashou's 5,000 casualties and nearly half of Zhou Zheng's 8,000 men lost their combat effectiveness.
The city was filled with a sense of slaughter and tension, the soldiers were packing up, and the cries were everywhere.
Zhou Zheng, Zu Dashou and others appeased and gathered in the mansion to discuss.
Although Zu Dashou knew that it was Zhou Zheng's tactics before, he was still uncomfortable in his heart, his face was calm, and he didn't speak.
Zhou Zheng sat side by side with him, glanced at him, and He Kegang, Cao Bianjiao and others: "Jianyu withdraws troops, we are more dangerous, and we will definitely continue to attack the city in the afternoon, what do you want to say?" ”
He Kegang glanced at Ancestor Dashou, and hesitated: "Lord Zhou, more than half of us have been killed and injured in just half a day, you can't hide anymore." ”
Zu Dashou seemed to be unable to hold back, turned to Zhou Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "If you use all your strength at the beginning, we will definitely not lose so much!" If Jianyu comes again, we have less than 10,000 people left, how can we defend it? ”
Zhou Zheng knew that he was angry in his heart, and explained: "This is what we discussed at the beginning, Jianyu is menacing, in addition to boosting morale and stubbornly resisting, we will use all our strength at the beginning, what should we do next?" ”
Zu Dashou's face, there was still blood on his hair, and he was a little embarrassed, the corners of his mouth moved, turned to He Kegang, and said, "What is the movement on the Inspector's side?" ”
He Kegang said: "My lord, we are surrounded by Jianyu, and we don't know anything about the news outside, so the superintendent must be trying to find a way to rescue us." ”
Zu Dashou kept a calm face, and then stopped talking.
Youtun is a small city, even if there are 15,000 reinforcements from Zhou Zheng, plus his 5,000 people, 20,000 people have been killed and injured in just half a day, and Jianyu will come again, what should I do?
What's more, their food lasts for a month at most!
Zhou Zheng looked at the pessimism on everyone's faces, smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, we basically held it." ”
Zu Dashou turned his head to Zhou Zheng and couldn't help but say angrily: "We have 10,000 people left, and the food is not enough for a month, how do you keep it?" ”
Zhou Zheng looked calm and said: "We have 10,000 casualties, and the Jianyu will definitely lose even more, they are just so many, as long as we hold it in the afternoon, there will be no next time." In the afternoon, I will open fire. ”
He Kegang and the others listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and their faces perked up.
Zhou Zheng is right, unless Jianlu takes Youtun in one go, if there are 8,000 more casualties, it is enough for Jianlu's heartache, and there are 30,000 people left, and nothing can be done at all!
This time they came on a hurried march, all of them were elite, and there were not many Mongol and Han troops, and they could not withstand losses.
Zu Dashou's face was a little relaxed, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Then all go to the city in the afternoon and fight against the water!" ”
There are reinforcements below, and the soldiers on the city wall have the confidence to exert extraordinary combat power; If you don't have it below, you may be able to exert your maximum combat power in a desperate battle!
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Okay." ”
Zu Dashou stood up straight and said in a muffled voice: "I'll go out and have a look." ”
He Kegang was his lieutenant, and he hurriedly followed.
Zu Dashou's people left, and the rest were Zhou Zheng's people.
Meng Hezhou watched Zu Dashou leave, and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear: "My lord, we have taken over, the people who came from Jianyu are indeed the elite of the Eight Banners, and the others are behind, and it is expected to arrive in five days." There is also news that there are people who have built captives in Youtun, and they should have been connected. ”
Zhou Zheng looked out of the door with a faint look, his face was pale, and said, "What I asked you to do, did you do it well?" ”
Meng Hezhou glanced at the others and said in a low voice, "It's done." ”
Zhou Zheng held the knife in his hand, squinted outside, and said as if talking to himself: "Youtun can't afford to lose, if anyone dares to betray the country for glory, I will never be soft!" ”
Chu Jin, Cao Bianjiao and others looked condensed, they all knew that there were people who were built in Youtun, and Zu Dashou had made it clear to Zhou Zheng at the beginning.
After Zhou Zheng finished saying this, he said for a while, "Is there any movement on the Inspector's side?" ”
Chu Jin said: "My lord, the superintendent has mobilized nearly 100,000 troops from Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, and Jinzhou, gathered in Jinzhou and Songshan, and has arrived near the Xiaoling River, and there is no other action for the time being. The letter from the adults has been sent a long time ago. ”
Zhou Zheng hummed, thought silently for a long time, suddenly stood up, took out an official document, and said in a deep voice: "Now, this official has officially taken over Youtun!" Cao Bianjiao, with the order of the superintendent, took over all the right tun! It's all! ”
Meng Hezhou, Cao Bianjiao and the others were slightly shocked, because Zu Dashou was already dissatisfied just now, if Zhou Zheng suddenly took over Youtun, what would he think?
However, they only had momentary doubts, and then they got up sharply and answered loudly: "Yes! ”
Cao Bianjiao and others took Sun Chengzong's order to take over Youtun in an all-round way.
Zu Dashou quickly took He Kegang and others to Zhou Zheng angrily, and there were more than a dozen guards by his side.
Zhou Zheng sat on the main seat with a golden knife, looking at the map of Liaodong, especially Youtun and Daling River, and did not raise his head for their arrival.
Zu Dashou looked at Zhou Zheng, his face was a little ugly, and said, "I originally thought that you were still a person to befriend, but I didn't expect you to be such a person!" ”
Zhou Zheng didn't raise his head, and said: "From now on, you will stay here, you are not allowed to leave without my order, and if anyone moves around, he will be directly executed for the crime of treason!" ”
He Kegang immediately said: "Zhou Zhengyun, you don't have this power!" ”
Zhou Zheng glanced up at him and said, "This order comes from the Inspector, and the Inspector is holding Shang Fang's sword, first cut and then play!" ”
He Kegang suddenly didn't dare to speak, and turned his head to look at Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou is the deputy chief soldier, subordinate to Jinzhou, Mangui.
He frowned, stared at Zhou Zheng for a while, snorted coldly, and said, "If you mess around, my five thousand people are enough to die with you!" ”
Zhou Zheng put away the map, stood up, looked at Zu Dashou and the others, and said lightly: "The city is here, the city is dead, you don't need to doubt my determination." ”
Zu Dashou's face was still not good-looking, staring at Zhou Zheng, but he didn't speak again.
Zhou Zheng passed through them, he took over Youtun, Jianyu would be back soon, he had too much to do.
He Kegang looked at Zhou Zheng's back, comforted Zu Dashou and said: "My lord, let's bear with it for the time being, defending the city is inseparable from adults." ”
Zu Dashou took a deep breath, sat down on the chair next to him, closed his eyes, and said, "Since he won't let us go, let's take a rest, and no one is allowed to leave now." ”
He Kegang saw him sit down, hurriedly explained a few words to the others, and stood behind Zu Dashou.
Cao Bianjiao and others were quickly arranging the city defense, and dozens of cannons were pushed up to the city, quietly and calmly rushing to the north.
After Cao Bianjiao finished arranging, he came to Zhou Zheng's side, looked at the direction of Jianyu's camp, and said: "My lord, Jianyu's posture, I'm afraid it won't take long to come back, not to mention that my lord also killed the eldest son of the thief chief with his own hands." ”
Zhou Zheng didn't care about this, pondered for a moment, and said, "Bring up the grenade." ”
Cao Bianjiao's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "My lord, Shen Shangshu once instructed that this kind of thing cannot be used at a critical moment, and if it is caught by the Yanguan, it will be a big disaster." ”
Zhou Zheng's expression was calm, and he said, "Is there anything more critical than this time?" ”
