After this issue was settled, Zhu Fangyuan stopped staying at the mouth of the Tumen River and set off for Seoul. The total destruction of the fleet www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion is not only a problem of half of the sailors, but also a lot of follow-up things to do.

Zhu Yunxi originally planned to pull him to discuss and immediately organize an attack on the Jurchen tribe. Now the weather is relatively cold, the river has frozen, but fortunately it has not snowed, although the temperature is a little lower, but as long as the clothes are warm and the food is sufficient, at least it is suitable for fighting than in the summer when it is hot.

And it is not difficult to fight, they have artillery, the rivers are frozen in winter, it is relatively easy to run around with small cannons, and any kind of stockade can be blasted open; In addition, there are many Jurchens and Mongols and Ainu who have taken refuge in them to take advantage of, and they may not be afraid of the Jurchen savages to be exterminated in the mountains and forests; Besides, in winter, most people will cat winter, and they will think that there are still people who are full of food and want to beat them.

But where would Zhu Fangyuan be in the mood to join forces with him to exterminate the Jurchen tribe at this time? When he first discussed, he didn't know that the sailors had suffered heavy losses and were still a little interested, but now the fleet sent out was completely wiped out, and it cost a lot of money to appease the family and the soldiers, and he was willing to take out the money to suppress the Jurchen tribe.

After Zhu Fangyuan refused, Zhu Yunxi said viciously: "You North Koreans don't want to do it, we will do it ourselves." ”

Before he came to negotiate, he had already pulled it out, and he was about to personally take the men and horses to fight at the moment, but he was stopped by Xu Zengshou.

Xu Zengshou said: "Your Highness, we are not fighting with the Jurchens in the front, but going to a sneak attack, the road along the way is not easy to walk, there will be many places on both sides of the road where a few people can ambush, Your Highness, it is too dangerous for you to go to war in person." ”

This kind of ambush by a few people on the side of the road does not deal much damage to the combat effectiveness of the army; But in case Zhu Yunxi is killed, there will be no redemption for his death.

Li Qing, Qin Sen and others also strongly persuaded Zhu Yunxi to finally give up his plan to personally lead the troops, with Xu Zengshou as the main general and Qin Sen as the deputy general, leading a regular army of 1,000 people, 500 Jurchens, 100 Mongols, 200 Ainu, and three small cannons with a range of about one mile, to attack a Jurchen tribe with more than 2,000 people and four or five hundred strong men. If it doesn't snow after destroying this Jurchen tribe, go into another tribe of about the same size.

Early in the morning of 16 November, they set out from Fangchuan Village, west of Beichuan, and officially began their attack on the Haidong Jurchens.

In the evening of the same day, Xu Zengshou saw that it was getting late, announced that he would stop the march, and chose a fairly flat place to set up camp.

At his order, the men and horses of the headquarters of the various generals organized to set up camp, and for a time the logging of trees and the setting up of tents were more lively than when they were marching.

Chang An brandished an axe and cut down a big tree, and together with Zhao Xing, he pulled the big tree to the camp to set up a camp. As soon as he turned around, he saw a person who was also quite strong, but much whiter than them, also pulling wood with others, and said with a grin: "Lord Liu, why do you come to pull wood in person like our ordinary soldiers, why don't you sit comfortably in the camp tent as an official." ”

Chang An and Zhao Xing were the subordinates who were expelled from Changfu eight years ago because they almost made a mistake. (Chapter 75) The two of them were exiled to Kaiyuan City at that time, and Zhu Song expanded the British king's three guards after the seal, and the two of them were drafted into the army. After a few battles with the local Jurchen tribe, it can be regarded as a meritorious achievement, and it was promoted to the general flag and the small flag. Later, they were taken in by Qin Sen as personal soldiers, and Qin Sen came and Yongming also brought them over.

When the personal soldiers of the senior officials are naturally more nourishing than the ordinary days of a hundred households on weekdays, but when they came out to march and fight, Qin Sen also let them settle down in order to show that he treated them equally.

And what they called Liu Daren was Liu Yuquan, the former Shangyuan County Commander (Chapter 276), who was exiled to Liaodong for misinterpreting the law. After he was exiled to Liaodong, because he was a hard-working and cultured person, he was very popular in the local area, and one of the experiences of being appointed as the left guard of the British king was also brought to Yongming by Qin Sen. Because he could ride a horse and endure hardships, this battle also brought him over to help manage logistics and later manage prisoners.

Liu Yuquan knew that they were just joking casually, so he smiled and said: "I'm not an official figure, so what's the point of pulling wood?" When I am promoted in the future, if you kill me, I will not come to work. ”

The two of them made a few more jokes to each other, and then they went to the camp, and split the wood again and built the stockade as required.

After the camp was set up, it was time for dinner, and the hot broth was swallowed in a hurry with the cakes; There were also rabbits, birds, or pheasants caught by the Jurchens while marching in the mountains and forests, some of which were given to them to boil broth, and some of which they kept for roasting meat to eat. Of course, the leading Jurchen leader was very discerning, and he divided Xu Zengshou and Qin Sen and others.

Xu Zengshou practiced the teachings passed down from his father: 'It's okay to be extravagant when you don't fight on weekdays, but you must eat with the soldiers when you fight, and the fewer the soldiers, the more so; Before going to bed, they should also inspect the barracks and let all the soldiers who are okay sleep. Of course, Xu Da also took into account that his sons, who were usually well-dressed and well-fed, might not be able to withstand the long-term march, and told them that they could secretly bring some bacon and sugar cubes for dinner at night.

But at this time, how dare he eat the Jurchens' barbecue privately in public? After receiving it, he ordered the barbecue to be cut into small pieces and given to the soldiers who could not eat with everyone later.

After eating, it was already dark, the groom went to feed the horses, the sentries stood guard, Baihu, Deputy Baihu and others drove their soldiers into the camp to sleep, and even the Mongols, Jurchens, and Ainu also went into the barracks to sleep.

Xu Zengshou called the Jurchen leaders who were familiar with the local geography to ask about the nearby terrain, discussed with Qin Sen and the others about tomorrow's march route, inspected the barracks again, and slept.

Suddenly the whole camp was silent, except for the snorts of the horses from time to time, even the soldiers who were on guard were silent, and the moon was dark tonight, and from a distance, it seemed that a new village of the common people had appeared here.

……

……

Zhao Xing was awakened. Today, for some reason, it was not dawn when he was awakened, and it was clear that he would only be awakened after dawn on weekdays.

He's busy getting up to. Chang An, who was sleeping next to him, was awakened by his movements and said to him, "You're not going to go to the tuba, are you?" ”

Zhao Xing nodded, and Chang An immediately kicked him and said, "The tuba is not allowed to use the toilet in the camp tent, go outside." ”

Zhao Xing said with a bitter face: "On such a day, the tuba is outside, and the butt is not frozen?" ”

Chang An kicked him again and said, "No! You're in the camp tuba, and you don't stink to death! Get out. ”

At this time, several other Qin Sen's guards were also awakened, and they all asked Zhao Xing to go outside.

Zhao Xing secretly scolded a few of them in his heart, and had to put on his clothes and walk out of the camp tent to go to the specially set up toilet.

When he got out of the camp, he wanted to open his mouth to curse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't hear his voice, but poured a mouthful of the north wind, hurriedly closed his mouth, and covered his mouth with his hand, for fear that the wind would pour in again.

The soldier standing guard naturally wanted to ask him what he was doing, and he gestured for a long time to make the person standing guard understand, and waved his hand to let him go.

He finally finished shitting, wiped his buttocks clean, hurriedly dressed and walked out of the toilet to run back to the camp tent, there was still half an hour before he got up, and he went back to make up for sleep.

He glanced sideways at the soldiers who were standing guard not far from the toilets, and with a sigh of emotion, he was about to trot back to the camp. But just then, he heard a roar coming from behind.

Zhao Xing has been in contact with the Jurchens a lot recently, and he knows that this is the Jurchens roaring, and he doesn't take it seriously: the Jurchens outside Vladivostok have someone yelling a few times for various reasons from time to time, and he is used to hearing it.

But as soon as he took a few steps, he reacted: 'Lord Qin had told them many times before not to yell casually, how could they suddenly scream again? ’

He couldn't help but slow down and turn to see what was going on. As soon as he arrived near the camp, the sentry soldier took a crossbow arrow and was about to ask him what he was doing, when suddenly several arrows came in from outside the camp, one of which hit the side of the sentry's face, and he died without even snorting.

Zhao Xing was so frightened that he immediately climbed to the ground, and several arrows flew over his head.

At this time, even the fool knew what was going on, and Zhao Xing used all his strength to shout: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

At this moment there were a few words of speech from outside the camp in front of him, which he did not understand, but crawled towards the sentry who had been shot dead.

As soon as he touched the sentry's crossbow arrows, he looked up and saw several barbarians in leather jackets running out of the camp, and one of them slashed at the camp with his broadsword, but he did not even enter a third of the wood.

He then put his knife behind his back and tried to climb in with his hands and feet, and the other people who had come with him also got up.

Zhao Xing blocked the dead in front of him, and then shot a series of ten arrows to kill several of them. At this time, another person ran outside the camp, saw the corpse screaming, and shot arrows inside. Zhao Xing turned his body sideways and completely pressed against the corpse of the dead man, only to hear a few 'poof' sounds, and a few arrows were shot at the corpse.

He stole his head and saw that a few of the barbarians were still holding their bows and arrows, and a few others were climbing.

He was very anxious, and felt the crossbow arrows from the corpse to wind, but it was not easy to lie on the ground and wind them, and he was so anxious that he was sweating before he got on the two crossbow arrows, and at this time the person who climbed the fastest was already about to climb to the top and jump in.

Zhao Xing 'swished' two arrows and shot the man to death, but the next few barbarians had already climbed to the top and jumped down, wielding knives to hack him to death.

He gave up one slash, but the second slash was right in front of him. He knew he couldn't dodge, so he closed his eyes and waited for death.
