Chapter 11 Returns with a fiasco

The situation is urgent, and the second brother is indecisive, although it is very tormenting to see the main force being surrounded, but at this time, he can only take care of his own Dingliao avant-garde.

"Breakout!" Glancing back at the Pao Ze brothers, who were still trying their best to get closer to him, Brother Erdan's face was full of pain and ordered.

The word breakthrough made the soldiers of Dingliao avant-garde breathe a sigh of relief. Although there are 2,000 men and horses, they cannot be stopped in the face of an enemy several times their size. It's already precarious, and if you delay it for a while and a half, you're really going to die here.

They wanted to break through, how could the Japanese easily agree. It didn't take long for the general to see through Brother Erdan's intentions, sneered, and set out to mobilize people to block Brother Erdan's way.

However, whether or not they can break through is a major matter related to their own lives, and the avant-garde soldiers at this time can be said to have used the greatest strength in their lives, and under the command of the second brother in the center, with tacit understanding, the short widows who were directly killed were defeated and retreated.

The avant-garde showed signs of breaking through alone, which was a big deal for the other soldiers who were struggling to kill them. Life and death hang by a thread, and anyone knows that once there is no avant-garde response, it will be difficult to break through, so whether you can kill and save a life this time depends on whether you can keep up with the footsteps of the avant-garde.

The army's heart was completely scattered, which was the only feeling Li Chengliang had when he rushed to the rear with his guards. Not to mention these low-level soldiers for the time being, even those subordinate generals who used to obey their words and plans have disappeared at this moment, looking around, these guys are all struggling to break through with their own men and horses, ignoring the order they just given.

Sighing, all the fantasies of Li Chengliang, who has always been holding a fluke mentality, came to naught at this moment, what is the desperate battle to annihilate the main force of the Japanese Invaders to establish a great achievement, this is just his own wishful thinking, look at the current situation, it is Amitabha Buddha who can save one of his lives.

"My lord, let's withdraw too." Unconsciously, the soldiers behind him also rushed over in a panic, and the situation that the general trend has gone can be seen by anyone with a little brain.

Li Chengliang looked around blankly, after a lifetime of hard work, this battle all came to naught, and for the first time, he had the feeling that life was worse than death.

Seeing that Li Chengliang didn't speak, the leader of the guards could only make his own decisions, and with a shout, several guards set up the depressed Li Chengliang and broke through with the flow of people to the front.

Under the mind of the widow not to lose a big one, Brother Erdan and his avant-garde people finally fought their way out. However, in a bloody battle, more than half of the more than 2,000 avant-garde soldiers were killed.

Although he had the heart to shoot back to rescue Brother Paoze, who didn't keep up with his pace in the end, Brother Erdan still didn't do it in the end.

The enemy army is huge, and the defeat of this thousand remnants of the army is just a dessert after dinner, and it will sink into the sea if it doesn't take a few bubbles. Seeing that it is getting late, it is better to find a place to rest for a while, and wait until it gets dark. After all, there was night as a cover at that time, and as long as it was well planned, the role of a thousand centaurs would be several times greater than it is now.

But Brother Erdan also knew in his heart that this was just his own idea, and whether he came back or not would depend on how long this breakout battle could last.

"Ma Erdan, you are looking for death!" was carried away by the guards for a long time, and Li Chengliang, who was disheartened, finally came back to his senses. originally planned to escape with his life this time, and then went away incognito, but he just caught up with Brother Erdan's avant-garde people to break through. Looking at the widows who gathered again, Li Chengliang couldn't wait to swallow Brother Erdan alive. Without him outside to contain the Japanese invaders, it would have been even more difficult to break through.

"Pass my general order, gather troops and horses to break through with all your might!" At this point, Li Chengliang had no choice but to cheer up and command the battle, otherwise he would break through with this group of men and horses who had become a mess of porridge, and he was afraid that he would have to wait until the next life.

The sun gradually set on the mountain, and the entire Huangcaoling seemed to fall into smoke and darkness in the blink of an eye. Brother Erdan, who fled more than 20 miles with his men and horses before stopping to take a breath, listened to the shouts and killings in the distance getting lower and lower, and knew that his plan to kill again and respond to the main force to break through was no longer necessary.

"My lord, what now?" Several thousands of households with embarrassed expressions gathered around Brother Erdan, and now he is the backbone of everyone.

After thinking about it for a while, Brother Erdan instructed: "First find a favorable terrain to hide, and then select two teams of people, one team will return to the original way to find out the news, and the other will immediately rush back to China to report the news, how to do it, let them decide for themselves." ”

The generals were ordered to arrange these things, but Brother Erdan sat on the ground as if he had lost his strength, gasping for breath. In the past, it has always been smooth sailing to fight with his own lords, but he didn't expect that he had suffered a fiasco just after serving outside the country, and he really didn't have the face to go back to see him.

The people who had gone to inquire about the news soon returned, and the situation was unknown, except that the brigade of Japanese was gathering. Hearing such news, Brother Erdan only said one word: withdraw!

"On the third day of October in the fourth year of Longqing, 20,000 horses were sent to Korea to conquer Liaodong Town, where the Japanese invaders, and encountered an ambush by the Japanese in Huangcaoling. Except for more than 1,000 people who escaped from Dingliao's avant-garde Ma Erdan, the rest of the men and horses were killed, and the main general Li Chengliang and deputy general Shi Ru were all spared. At the same time, taking advantage of the great victory, the Japanese invaders deployed troops on the north bank of the Yalu River, and according to the secret protection of the Korean Prime Minister Li Futong, the Japanese invaders had recently increased their troops by 50,000, and their momentum was getting stronger and stronger. Yu Dayou, the new squire of the military department, said in a deep voice.

The 22,000 troops of the Japanese invaders were almost all wiped out, and the news had already spread throughout the officialdom of the capital. So at this time, Yu Dayou told the news, and the ministers did not discuss it, but lowered their heads and prepared to meet the thunderous wrath of Emperor Longqing, after all, this incident made the emperor lose face too much.

Emperor Longqing's face was indeed ugly, but he didn't get angry at the court, and this anger had been sent two days ago.

"Li Chengliang, the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong Town, although he is good at military armor and strategy, he has always been arrogant and arrogant. According to my Jinyi Wei Mibao, the defeat of the imperial court army in Huangcaoling this time was caused by his insistence on improper command. For the grievances of the relatives of the soldiers who died in the war, Weichen implored the emperor to investigate Li Chengliang's responsibility. Shen Chongming walked out of the office and said expressionlessly. The incident has happened, and naturally someone has to come forward to bear the responsibility, and Li Chengliang is the most suitable person.

Shen Chongming sang the smoke face, and this red face was left to Emperor Longqing. "Shen Aiqing is right, but now that Li Chengliang has died in Huangcaoling, it is really unreasonable to investigate his guilt, so let's stop this matter."

As soon as Emperor Longqing's voice fell, Shen Chongming's sycophants followed, "The emperor's benevolence is really a blessing for all the people." ”

The two monarchs and ministers sang and harmonized, and the ministers who finally understood the meaning also hurriedly patted their ass, and for a while, the voices of singing and virtue abounded in the court, and it was a good situation of a peaceful and prosperous world.

After enjoying a sycophant feast, Emperor Longqing's mood also improved a lot. "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, the people of Liaodong Town are newly defeated, and the Japanese are even more ambitious, how do you say to deal with it?"

"Emperor Qi, Weichen has been at war with the Japanese for many years, and he thinks he knows a thing or two about it. Please ask the emperor and my army of 50,000, and the ministers will wipe out the territory of North Korea! Yu Dayou first arrived, and his temper has not changed at all, but as soon as Emperor Longqing's words fell, he walked out of the column and hugged his fists and said.

Emperor Longqing couldn't help but be stunned, this was a bit unexpected for him. But then he was relieved, but he was very satisfied with Yu Dayou, the new squire of the military department, what the imperial court needs is this kind of responsible talent.

However, for Emperor Longqing, Yu Dayou is not a good candidate to lead the army, and he has always trusted Shen Chongming in military affairs. And this time, the army was almost wiped out in Korea, and the men and horses of Liaodong Town were already afraid of the enemy like tigers, and he felt uneasy about sending anyone except Shen Chongming.

"Hehehe, Yu Aiqing is dedicated to the country, and I am very relieved. However, at this critical moment in the reform of the military system, the military department has a heavy responsibility, and you, as a squire of the military department, really can't leave the capital easily. Emperor Longqing said this, but politely rejected Yu Dayou's request.

Fighting with the Japanese is Yu Dayou's greatest interest in his life. This time he came to serve in the military department, although it was a high promotion, but it was not what he wanted, what he longed for was the kind of life on the bloody battlefield of the golden iron horse. This time he led his troops to Korea to fight against the Japanese invaders, but it was a great opportunity to return to the battlefield, and how could he easily let it go.

"Emperor Qi, Weichen has fought many times with the Japanese Invaders, and has a deep understanding of their military arrangements, and only needs a 30,000-strong elite soldier to be able to kill the Japanese Invaders. And looking at the court, no one can be left or right at this point. Moreover, the reform of the military system is not the strength of the micro-ministers, and staying in the capital will not help much, and I hope that the emperor will see it. Yu Dayou was in a hurry to grab this errand, but he said his inner evaluation of himself.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court immediately turned their eyes to Shen Chongming. You must know that he is the hero who has completely solved the coastal plague. Although compared to Yu Dayou, he can only be regarded as a latecomer, but the relationship between the two is precisely that the latecomer prevails.

Moreover, Shen Chongming is now a saint and has a prominent status, although Yu Dayou is a military squire, he is really insignificant in front of him.

Now Yu Dayou dares to say this above the court, it is clear that he did not put Shen Chongming in his eyes, according to this kid's flaws must be reported, I am afraid that this Yu Dayou will have to suffer some hardships.

Yu Dayou was not stupid, he immediately felt the abnormality of the atmosphere in the court, looked around, but found that everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Chongming. With a stunned expression, Yu Dayou immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Although he has not been in the capital for a long time, he knows Shen Chongming, and this name is an indispensable talking point in the officialdom of the capital, no matter who he chats with, he always can't pull this name.

Shen Chongming has made outstanding achievements, and Yu Dayou also knows it. However, when it comes to fighting against the Japanese Kou, Yu Dayou really looks down on Shen Chongming. Know that when you fought against the Wakos, it was when they were at their peak. At that time, there were tens of thousands of Japanese people at every turn, and there were hundreds of thousands of people joining forces. But even so, he and Qi Jiguang's brother still killed them. The reason why the remnants of the second widow were left was because the widows were frightened and fled away, if not, they would have been wiped out a long time ago, and there was still something to Shen Chongming about.

Shen Chongming was not as angry as others thought. In fact, the thoughts in his heart are the same as Yu Dayou, the reason why he picked the biggest peach is because of the foundation laid by Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang back then.

However, the Japanese who invaded Korea this time cannot be classified in the same category as the Japanese who caused trouble along the coast before. Compared with the two, the former is a regular army, while the latter is just some desperate bandits, and the grade is not so bad.
