Mao Wenlong stayed in the shipyard in Nanjing, looking for any usable treasures that Zheng He had left behind. Although the shipyard has been abandoned for many years, fortunately, it is really unpatronized, and Nanjing has always been quite stable.

As a result, the shipyard was abandoned, but it was never damaged by man. Now Mao Wenlong only needs to be patient, and he will definitely be able to gain something by looking carefully.

During this period, the imperial court and the Dongjiang army finally reached an agreement on sending troops to jointly defend against the enemy. The imperial court continued to defend the frontier without sending troops to fight, and the Dongjiang Army, under the leadership of Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuzuo, once again quietly entered the territory of Houjin from the vicinity of Jiayuguan.

Previously, Huang Taiji did not know about the alliance between the imperial court and the Dongjiang Army, and he still sent his subordinates everywhere to scatter near Jiayuguan to loot and loot. There are always a lot of gains, and his military ranks are constantly expanding.

Huang Taiji's attack on Daming this time has great confidence in this, and if it continues smoothly according to the current situation, it will not be long before the imperial court will be self-defeating. When the time comes, Jin's iron cavalry can break through the Jiayu Pass, and then gallop on the vast land of the Ming Dynasty.

"Great Khan, we have gained a lot more from today, and the imperial court still does not dare to divide its troops to fight against our stragglers." Zilharang proudly reported yesterday's battle to Huang Taiji.

"Always keep an eye on any slight changes in Jiayuguan, and once we find that the imperial court dares to divide troops to rescue the harassed military fort, we must immediately feint to attack Jiayuguan. Let them not be able to leave, the end of the Ming Dynasty is not far away, hahaha......" Huang Taiji laughed, his expression was quite happy.

Zilharang clenched his fists and took the order, and then said with a smile: "Great Khan, according to the current progress, it will take us about a month to sneak attack all the military forts near Jiayuguan, will this delay be too long, and my subordinates may change." ”

Huang Taiji waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "Don't worry, everything is just going according to plan, the current imperial court has been completely contained by us here in Jiayuguan." As long as we continue to keep them in check, we don't need to worry about anything else. ”

"Report ......"

As soon as Huang Taiji's voice fell, suddenly an urgent announcement came from outside the big tent. The two of them followed the sound and saw a scout rushing in from outside the big tent.

"Report."

"Why are you so flustered?"

"Great Khan, our two squads suddenly lost contact today, and then after searching, we found that all 200 people were killed by sneak attacks, and all the heads were built into Jingguan."

Huang Taiji stood up with a snort, and then walked quickly to the front of the scout, stretched out his hand and grabbed his collar, and lifted him in the air easily, and the vicious voice floated out: "Explain the situation to this king." ”

The scout looked panicked, but he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately clarified the situation one by one. It turned out that just now, two of Huang Taiji's scattered stragglers who attacked the military fort near Jiayuguan were missing.

After searching, it was found that they were all dead, and the death was extremely tragic, and the person who did it was definitely ruthless.

When Huang Taiji heard this, he angrily threw the scout on the ground, and he had not yet made a decision. But I saw another scout rushing in: "Great Khan, we have two more Niu Di who have lost contact, and now we have sent people out to look for them." ”

At this moment, Huang Taiji immediately realized that the situation was not good, and he turned around and stared at Jilharang viciously: "Go and check the situation of the defenders in Jiayu Pass, and immediately give an order to let those stragglers who sneak attack all return immediately." ”

Zilharang also realized that something was wrong, and he did not dare to delay in the slightest, so he immediately received orders to go down to do things.

Half a day later, Zilharang dragged his tired body back, and he said to Huang Taiji suspiciously: "Great Khan, there is something strange about things, and his subordinates have repeatedly confirmed that the defenders of Jiayuguan have no possibility of dividing their troops. Those who attacked us may have someone else. ”

Huang Taiji frowned: "Who else dares to oppose us now except the imperial court?" Also, have all the stragglers who went to attack been recalled? ”

Zilharang hesitated for a moment, and said: "Great Khan, nearly a thousand people have returned so far, and about 2,000 have not been able to return in time. However, it will take another half an hour to determine our casualties, and it is not yet possible to determine for sure. ”

The stragglers are too scattered, and they can't be recalled quickly if they want to be recalled for a while, and Zilharang can't do anything about this.

Huang Taiji's face was gloomy after hearing this, and at this moment he already had a premonition in his heart that there was something greasy in it. As he said just now, at present, except for the imperial court that dares to oppose Houjin, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there is only that Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army left.

"Think about it, will it be the Dongjiang Army that attacked us this time?" Huang Taiji said fiercely.

When Zilharang heard this, he was shocked, and he exclaimed, "Great Khan, maybe it's possible. ”

Huang Taiji saw Zilharang's reaction, in fact, he was already sure in his heart, and then ordered: "Immediately lead the troops out to respond, and by the way, find out who is fighting against us." ”

Zilharang clenched his fists and ordered him to retreat, and Huang Taiji was left alone in the big tent, his face gloomy as water. If he was not mistaken, the more than 2,000 people who have not returned until now will definitely be more than lucky.

Ten miles away from Jiayuguan, a small military fort has just experienced an extremely fierce battle, with corpses and blood all over the ground.

Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuzuo rode war horses and watched their subordinates cleaning up the battlefield, Xu Fuzuo smiled and said: "Huang Taiji will definitely vomit blood this time, until now, we have continuously attacked nearly ten Niu Di, a total of more than 2,000 Jin soldiers died in our hands." ”

Chen Jisheng's face was full of smugness, this time he quietly sneaked attack, and the results were quite fruitful, and in just half a day, more than 2,000 Houjin stragglers were wiped out. Such a record can be said to be rare in the world, and it also gives Chen Jisheng a more intuitive understanding of the strength of the Dongjiang Army.

Since the triumphant return last time, the Dongjiang Army has undergone nearly a year of training, and Chen Jisheng can see that this time the soldiers did not show any cowardice when facing the Houjin soldiers.

Chen Jisheng looked up at the sky, and then said in a dark voice: "It's almost noon now, and it is estimated that Huang Taiji will already know that his stragglers have been attacked." If nothing else, they're bound to send a large army to meet them, and we should be ready to it all the way. ”

Xu Fuju said with a smile: "It should be like this." ”

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the murderous gaze in each other's eyes, and they never had to be soft on Houjin. This time, the Dongjiang Army must make another good achievement and teach the arrogant Huang Taiji a hard lesson.
