About half an hour later, Yu Zhilong saw these big ships in the distance raise their sails, and took advantage of the strong northwest wind to gradually turn around and go farther and farther to the open sea, and a trace of doubt and worry in his heart completely disappeared.

Under the sun, everyone could clearly see that there were dazzling points of light bursting from the bow of the ship from time to time, and the generals who were familiar with the military could guess that it was the reflection of the snow spear against the sun.

This ship does not erect a flag, and it is not a Yuan ship system, and its origin is inexplicable, which is suspicious. Yu Zhilong summoned Cui Hu, Wen Xian, Wu Xingde and others to look at it from afar for a long time, but it was difficult to identify, Wu Xingde hesitated: Could it be a Goryeo ship? Or even the Dongying people? After all, there are a lot of sea ships coming and going in Rizhao, and there are also many maritime merchants from other places who come to trade, although the Wu family does not have ocean-going ships, but they have a lot of dealings with maritime merchants from all over the world, including some Korean merchants, as for the trade with the Dongying people, there is not much trade. These ships were tall and sturdy, with a building of at least three floors, and were no ordinary merchant ships.

Yu Zhilong was secretly shocked, he had been mobilizing troops in Rizhao for many days, could he still provoke the peeps of overseas countries?

Fortunately, the other party has no intention of going ashore to fight for a long time, so you should be careful in the future!

When Yu Zhilong was exhausted and rode back to the city, Qian Zheng's urgent report suddenly came. The large Yuan army in Jiaozhou slowly drove towards Miaoshan and was about to reach Miaoshan.

At this time, Linqu Xiahouen led his troops to cross the Mi River, followed by Wanjinhai, and was rapidly pursuing the remnants of the retreating enemy.

Wan Jinhai robbed a pioneer to cross the river this time, and completely defeated the Yuan army deployed along the river, and the two fought a turnaround battle this time, and the psychological shadow of the last bloody battle that almost collapsed was finally left behind. Xia Houen drove his troops to let go of the small group of routs and chase after the remnants of the Yuan army in front. Seeing that there are more than 20 miles away, it is Weizhou Changle City! If you are lucky, you can control the speed of the pursuit and defeat the army in the back, drive the defeated enemy to storm the city gate, and maybe you can take Changle City!

Thinking of this, Xia Houen couldn't help but feel a fever in his heart. It seems that the Jing'an Army has signs of accomplishing great things, and it has already joined early, and if it can make meritorious contributions, its future will certainly be a golden avenue. He remembered the news that Liu Qi quietly handed over a few days ago: Yidu City hoped that Xia Houen would choose the opportunity to do it anyway, and the treatment of the annex would never be lower than Liu Qi's status, and there would be a reward of 10,000 taels of silver and 1,000 acres of fertile land.

"Dog thief, you still want to pull me into the water!" Xia Houen was a little disdainful, Liu Qi secretly colluded with Yidu at the beginning and almost harmed himself, how could he be willing to take revenge on this old revenge?

However, the name of the 10,000 households in charge of the army did make Xia Houen's eyes hot, I heard that this Liu Qi is now thriving in Yidu City, and has been praised by King Yi several times, and the crowd of the troops has thousands of people, and the momentum is even better than when he was in Linqu.

Ah, what are you doing at this time?

Xia Houen's mind turned back and forth, now the situation is in his favor, it is the other party who is anxious, and let him go to cool down first.

"Go, assign people, and drive all the routs to me on the left and right!" Xiahou En's horse trampled on the last few exhausted pawns, ignoring the other party's desire to resist and escape, and knocked over the pawns who knelt on the ground and were struggling to surrender, shouting orders left and right, paying attention to closing the formation, and slowly driving away the enemy pawns in front who were running more and more scattered and running slower and slower. He even kindly restrained the footsteps of his subordinates who were overly pursuing, allowing the routers to breathe in place for a moment.

This time, the Yuan army deployed along the river was lax in its defense, and Wan Jinhai crushed the opponent with a single charge, and thousands of soldiers and laborers soon ran everywhere like scattered sheep.

The army took the army by surprise, crossed the river and attacked, and flew to capture Weizhou, which was the initial plan of Ji Xiancheng and Mingxiong.

Xia Houen jumped on a dirt slope, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and finally a black shadow was faint on the horizon ahead, and Weizhou City was in sight!

"Lao Xia, if you don't hurry up, I'm going to hit your ass!" Wan Jinhai led part of the cavalry to catch up from behind, and saw Xia Houen driving away the rout without hurry, clasping his hands into a trumpet shape, and yelling behind him.

Xia Houen was originally a compound surname, and Wan Jinhai and other old brothers called it awkwardly, which was directly simplified to a Xia character.

Wan Jinhai led his troops to kill, after crossing the river, he first pursued more than ten miles to the north, and at the same time tested some of the north's reactions, and encountered several garrisoned Yuan army camps along the way, all of which were tightly closed, strictly guarded, and did not dare to meet the attack at all. It seems that the Yuan army in Yidu City really didn't expect Linqu's quick movement this time. In this way, isn't Ji Xiancheng and the others miscalculated?

Leaving the sentry scout, scouting around, and putting a few more probe horses, he continued to get close to Yidu City, and after carefully watching the movement, Wan Jinhai led his troops to circle a large arc, echoing Xia Houen to the side.

Xia Houen grabbed the reins, stopped the galloping horses, and waited for him to rush over and said, "Don't worry, someone has to rush open the city gate for us before we can do it!" ”

Liu Qi also handed Wan Jinhai a secret letter, what Wan Jinhai thought, Xia Houen didn't know, but the two still presented the secret letter to Ji Xiancheng.

The two joined forces in one place, controlled the speed of the drive, and the thousands of yuan army broke like a frightened rabbit, rushing to the front of Weizhou Changle City.

Changle County belongs to Shandong East and West Road, Xuanwei Siyidu Road, Weizhou. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Weizhou led 3 counties of Beihai, Changyi and Changle. Changle East is Weizhou, and Changle West is Yidu. After taking Changle, it almost completely broke off the connection with the eastern part of Yidu.

At least hundreds of thousands of stone grains and rice have been hoarded in the city, and if they can be removed, there is no need to worry about Linqu's winter grain and spring seeds.

And hundreds of miles to the east. The hills and ravines are crisscrossed, and in winter, the leaves of large and small trees and shrubs fall on the ground, leaving only empty branches stretching out to the sky.

Yu Zhilong led the army to Miaoshan to reinforce Qian Zheng. Not long after the army was settled, Fang saw that the Yuan army from Jiaozhou was late.

Looking at the continuous leading banner, it should be a part of the Jiaozhou Tanma Red Army, and the rest are all regimental training volunteers organized by Jiaozhou. There are no less than four or five thousand people and horses. The follow-up Yuan army was like a python out of a hole, and it followed closely behind in a more bloated formation, and gradually pressed over!

There were several flank soldiers and horses on the two wings of the front of the Yuan army, slowly falling on both sides, and occasionally there were many Yuan cavalry troops galloping back and forth between the various departments, or passing news or warning.

Yu Zhilong climbed high and looked at the army on the opposite side carefully, and found that the Yuan army was slow and his face was solemn. The banners of the various departments were a little chaotic, but most of the officers and soldiers of the Yuan army had bright armor and sharp swords and guns. After the forward Tanma Red Army saw the Jing'an Army, he quickly chose a gentle slope to arrange the formation, and then the two wings were divided and expanded, and the range was at least 300 paces, and there were three layers of soldiers inside and outside. The Yuan army on both wings gradually followed, and then lined up on both sides of it, nearly a hundred paces before and after.

"How slow it is!" Yu Zhilong scoffed. If Rizhao's reinforcements came three days earlier, even if it was one day, maybe this Rizhao City would not be able to be successfully taken. The Jing'an army may have to flee the war.

"Order, all departments are purged, and they are out to fight!"

Seeing that the opponent's fighting spirit was a little low, Yu Zhilong was determined not to give the enemy a chance to breathe and prepare. I arrived an hour early, and the various departments have relieved their breath and waited for work, when the time came!

At this time, the opposite side of the Ma Chijun Wanhu was a little regretful in his heart.

I thought that Meng Sanjie could hold on for at least a few more days, and he would be able to make a profit, but he didn't think that this Rizhao City would be lost quickly! Now the situation is very different, forcing him to start a field battle with Yu Zhilong. Although he is still absolutely sure, I am afraid that the results of this battle will be greatly reduced, and the battle damage is not easy to control!

But Yu Zhilong actually gave up the favorable Rizhao city defense and dared to face each other here halfway, could it be that his brain was funny? Who doesn't know the truth that if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose 800 yourself. What's more, it's still a siege battle?

"My lord, the thieves are actually attacking here, presumably because the Rizhao City has been damaged and embarrassed to defend it. Adults may wish to strike a thunderbolt and finish their work in one battle! As one of Na Risong's confidants, a military counselor carefully looked at the military appearance of the Jing'an Army and made a suggestion to Na Risong.

That Ri Song nodded slowly, he looked back behind him, there were many low scolds and urges faintly coming from the rear of the Chinese army, that was the three bed crossbow battalions he brought were nervously arranged, a total of no less than eighty three-ox crossbows, and two divine guns and thousands of households to defend the Chinese army. As for the archers in the army, there are more than 1,000 people, and they specially carried 30 carts full of arrows, which alone is enough for Jing'an thieves to eat a pot!

In addition, there were more than 10,000 elites brought by Narisong this time, and crossbows, guns, horses, and infantry were impressively listed. If you add auxiliaries and miscellaneous soldiers, there are more than 20,000 people, and the Yuan army has traveled all the way, which can be described as a banner covering the sun.

He could see that although the spirit of the Jing'an army on the opposite side was still good, it was obvious that the weapons of the soldiers were not neat, and there were very few people wearing armor.

"It's also mediocre first!" That day Song was unwilling to stay under him for a long time, and when he learned that he had been defeated by Linqu several times, he sneered at it in his heart. He would rather stay in Ninghai Prefecture for a long time, but he doesn't want to face Yexian in Yidu. Although he had to obey the dispatch of Yidu, he still did a lot of things that could pass the buck. Even in the early stage, he had to obey the slave purchase and transfer the order first, in addition to the elite Tian Hu of the righteous army, he also sent several waves of miscellaneous soldiers from his own command to Yidu to participate in the battle, and there was no other elite of the Red Army.

This time, he pieced together various military horses and personally came to fight Yu Zhilong, just to show the Privy Council and others how capable he was!

The two armies were separated by hundreds of paces, and they lined up in a circle. At this time, the five-color flag rolls up, the spears are like a forest, and under the winter light, the snowy spear blade shines with a dazzling reflection. Each hundred teams are like pieces of tofu, and the guards are in front of and behind each other's bosses, on both wings, looking at each other from afar; More than a dozen units of horse cavalry on both sides had already tried back and forth in the middle of the battlefield and on the flanks farther away, shooting arrows at each other, entangled, and chasing.

"Where is Tian Hu?" Nari Song asked.

"The last general, please give the commander's order!" Among the generals, one of them rode out on horseback. It was Tian Hu who led the cavalry charge in Linqu at the beginning. He was defeated in the unknown terrain outside Linqu City last time, and suffered heavy losses, and then returned to Ninghai Prefecture with the rest of the army, and once again gathered his subordinates to replenish the troops.

Na Ri Song nodded approvingly, and pointed before whipping: "This good head that is less than a thief is in front, is the general willing to take it for a certain one?" ”

"If you want it, you don't dare to invite it!" Tian Hu was overjoyed.

"Agoura, China, He Biao!" That day pine road.

The three well-armoured, bright and shiny generals quickly marched out and bowed to the front of the horse.

"The three of you will lead the headquarters to the left and right to respond to General Tian, and go straight to the thief army! If you lose the contact between the front and back, the military law will serve! Na Risong's tone was solemn, "The crossbow battalion is out, and the Shenji battalion is guarded!" I followed up and cheered on the four generals! ”

There are more than 3,000 soldiers in the department of these four generals, and as a forward assault, it is enough in the eyes of that daysong!

He ordered again: "Order, Fang Ji's department inserts it into the left rear of the thief, Lei Heng and Meng Dechi, you two lead the army to detour from the right side of the thief." Be sure to cut off the thief's back road, so that the thief will lose the other! ”

"Vice Marshal Li Fei and Counselor Leng, you two strictly guard the rear army, and you must not give thieves a chance to sneak attack!"

That day Song issued orders continuously, and the generals suddenly received the order, and they turned back to their own departments one after another.

He knew in his heart that Yu Zhilong had the right time and place, and if he dared to fight in a circle, he would have a confrontation. He can only defeat Yu Zhilong head-on with thunder power, and the so-called lion fights rabbits with all his strength, and never gives Yu Zhilong any respite.

The army has found out that there is no trace of a large number of thieves in the surrounding ten miles. This Yu Zhilong is only 10,000 people in front of him, and the equipment is also rude, how can he resist his more than 20,000 tiger and wolf army?

"My lord, the last general is willing to challenge the first battle and frustrate the thief's spirit!" Jiaozhou Fang Ji was impatient and asked later.

Fang Ji is young, good at riding and shooting, evil restraint, and he is impatient to march slowly all the way. Hearing that the sun pine made him detour to the side, he immediately disliked it.

He saw far away that Zhilong was standing under the banner of Huangya, and he had the intention to snatch the first hand to win the handsome, and competed with Tian Hu, so he couldn't hold it back and jumped out.

Fang Ji Wuyong, Na Risong and others have heard of it. But this kid has always been lawless, unscrupulous, in recent years, the Fang family has recruited volunteers, especially fast riding, the strength of the troops is getting heavier, and gradually has the tendency to surpass the Laizhou Tian family, which makes that day pine suspicious. Therefore, before leaving, Risong personally ordered the generals, summoned Fang Ji and Tian Hu, and appointed them to military positions for them to drive.

Seeing that Fang Ji took the initiative to ask for help, if he couldn't win that day, it would be a good thing to kill the arrogance of this Fang family.

That day, Song readily agreed to his request, and chose another general to lead the troops to the left.

The drums of war in the Yuan army soon rang out. Fang Ji hung his armor on his head, shook his spirit, and rushed forward with his horse, and the eight hundred soldiers in his department shouted loudly, following closely behind; Tian Hu snorted coldly, and led more than 2,000 people from his department to attack together, forming a horn shape with Fang Ji's department, and had the intention to distance himself from him, and the distance between the two departments was no less than two hundred steps.

Agoura, China, and He Biao stepped on the drums and drums of the Chinese army, and slowly followed.
