Chapter 45: Chen Jialuo with a black belly
"You go to Lai Ning City to urge the grain and grass, and let them send it over quickly! After doing this, you don't have to come back, and then go to Wensu to find Fude, the right deputy general of Dingbian, and ask him to bring three thousand people over! Zhaohui wrote the letter again and again, and instructed, after a few days of stalemate, the grain and grass on his side are getting less and less, and if Laining City does not send it, I am afraid that the horse should be killed; Before coming, I didn't expect Mu Zhuolun to seem to know his plan in advance, and every move fell to his most uncomfortable place, it seems that he can't rely on these 4,000 people to defeat Yarkand City, fortunately, Fude, who stayed in Wensu, still has a group of men and horses, plus these 3,000 people will not be able to take Yarkand; After writing the letter, I looked at it again, and wrote another letter out of caution, "After going to play Wensu, I will go to Balikun, find the minister Aligon, and ask him to bring troops over!" The troops under Aligon, the minister of Balikun, were less than a thousand, and Zhaohui was also in a hurry at this time.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately went out of the camp, a group of five people and one person with two horses, fast horses and whips to the direction of Laining City, ran for more than ten miles Zhaohui's barracks farther and farther, in front of a hill, the stones on the mountain were blown into a thousand strange shapes by the wind and sand in the northwest day and night, if there was a team of people and horses ambushed behind the big rock, they would explain it here; The military situation was urgent and there was no time to investigate, so the soldiers sped up, wiped a handful of sweat after crossing the hill, and continued to run forward before they had time to look back.
"Chief helmsman, why didn't you let me slaughter those Tartars just now?" , Wei Chunhua looked unhappy.
"Let them go and urge the grain and grass!" , Chen Jialuo said lightly, "After burning the grain and grass of the Tartars, Zhaohui should be in a hurry to settle the battle as soon as possible, and his opportunity to hurry up will come." Chen Jialuo is not only looking forward to the grain and grass with Tartars, it is best for reinforcements to come together, after seeing Huo Qingtong's command art, his appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and Zhaohui's four thousand people can no longer satisfy him. Of course, the deeper reason is that he doesn't want Mu Zhuolun's troops to retain their strong strength after this battle, and for him, the Qing army and Mu Zhuolun's troops are killed and wounded. If Mu Zhuolun is allowed to easily defeat Zhaohui and divide one side here from now on, then he will be a sinner in history. It is best for Mu Zhuolun to annihilate the Zhaohui army, and then fight a hard battle with Fude and Aligon, the Qing army retreated at the end of the war, Mu Zhuolun suffered heavy losses and was unable to expand, and the Qing army mobilized a large army from the mouth to come to the crusade, and then the northwest continued to fight, and the elite of the Qing army was bound to the northwest, and went to the southeast to expand its strength.
Chen Jialuo watched from afar as the messenger's back disappeared into the horizon and led them back to Yarkand City. Three days later, Shi Shuangying sent information that the grain team of Laining City had set off, and General Jing Rebellion, the deputy commander of Manchuria with the blue flag, the squire of the Ministry of Works, Namuzar, and the deputy commander of the Han Army, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the counselor minister, led 500 troops to escort the grain and grass; At the same time, Tanma also saw that Qiqihar Deputy Commander Ailonga led 200 troops from the camp to the direction of Lai Ning City, which should be to pick up the grain team.
"Good! Here's your chance! Starling, is the oil you prepared the day before yesterday ready? Chen Jialuo was overjoyed after reading the letter and immediately asked Yang Chengxie.
"Ready, helmsman, the enemy army is up to seven hundred, and we can bring three thousand men to win this time, so why prepare oil? Isn't it good to take away their bread and grass? Yang Chengxie asked.
Do you keep the grain and grass to make Mu Zhuolun's department stronger? Of course, Chen Jialuo refused to do such a stupid thing, and he had already thought about the response, "Everything has a master and a second, and the most important thing this time is to let Zhaohui not get these grains and grass; Although the Qing army is small, it is all elite, if you think about seizing grain and grass from the beginning, I am afraid that the battle will drag on for a long time, and it will change for a long time, in case Zhaohui comes out of the camp, it will be troublesome; Moreover, even if we take the grain and grass, the transportation of grain and grass will inevitably slow down the speed of the march, and it will be easy for Zhaohui to catch up; So I just took the oil with me, burned the grain and grass and left, and I returned to the city without waiting for Zhaohui to react, so it was the best policy. ”
Chen Jialuo's words are reasonable, even Huo Qingtong can't find anything wrong, "What Chen Gongzi said is reasonable, I'll go down and choose people." ”
After Huo Qingtong left, Chen Jialuo touched his chin, hey, since he came to the Qing Dynasty, he seems to be getting darker and darker? But in an instant, this guilt was put aside, how could you fight those Tartars if you didn't have a black belly!
Namuzar and Shi Santai led the team along the avenue quickly, their faces full of anxious looks, and from time to time they waved their whips and whipped them on the body of the driver of the car, "Hurry up! Faster! If you miss the hour, you will have your dogs' heads cut off!" ”
The road turned a corner in front, and at this time it was the direction of the rising sun, and the sun was shining straight into their eyes, Namuzar hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, and after adapting, he put down his palms, and saw a large number of people in his field of vision, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Enemy attack!" Shi Santai, you take the people of the headquarters to protect the grain and grass, and I will go and kill for a while! ”
After saying that, Namuzar took out the treasure knife from under his armpit and rushed forward, and after a stick of incense, Namuzar was smashed off the treasure knife in his hand by a camel that made a mace, and then smashed it on the cover of the heavenly spirit; Shi Santai was not much better than him anywhere, the horse team that rushed over did not engage them, and galloped past both sides of the grain team, and at the same time smashed the crockpot in his hand towards the convoy, "It's not good, it's fire oil!" Before he could shout, the next wave of cavalry threw torches on the cart, and the entire grain team suddenly turned into a fire dragon.
Shi Santai's eyes were cracked, even if he lost the grain and grass and went back, he would be beheaded, and immediately rushed to the enemy with a loud shout, and after cutting a dozen enemy soldiers, Shi Santai was cut off by a handsome young man who made a double hook.
"Chief helmsman, this guy seems to be a big official!" At the end of the battle, Wei Chunhua happily took Namuzar's head and leaned over to Chen Jialuo's side.
According to Shi Shuangying's intelligence, Chen Jialuo quickly judged his identity, "It's a squire, a senior official from the second grade, congratulations to Brother Jiu!" ”
The grain and grass were lost, the leader was killed again, and the Qing army suddenly fell into chaos, and was soon killed by the troops commanded by Huo Qingtong; After killing the food guards, the people did not leave, but moved forward for a while and ambushed; Soon after, the deputy capital of Qiqihar, Ai Long'a, died under Huo Qingtong's sword, and the accompanying 200 people were all wiped out.
In this battle, the Qing army lost three generals, 700 soldiers, and countless grains and grasses; More than 1,000 people died in the Mu Zhuolun Division, and almost all of the people who participated in the battle were wounded. After hearing the news, Zhaohui vomited out a mouthful of blood.
