The large hall was built along the edge of the lake, with thick wooden planks on the floor and large maps hanging on the side walls. The map is covered with red arrows, thick and long, and the roots are shocking, all coming to Tongjing Avenue.

There is a large iron case directly behind the meeting hall, with orders and arrows and zhu pens and other things, and the wall behind the iron case has a big "Wu" character written on it. At both ends, there were military chairs made of hardwood, and at the end sat officers dressed in general's armor and crimson cloaks, all of them shining brightly in iron armor.

At this time, Yang He was sitting in the big iron case, wearing fine armor made of crucible steel, not wearing a helmet, only wearing a soft curtain, he watched the good news, and laughed: "Okay, Zhang Songtao really lived up to my trust, defeated the thieves under Zhongwu Village, beheaded more than 100 first-level soldiers, and there were more than 40 armor soldiers inside." ”

All the generals below were shocked, Qian Sanniang brought back thirty-one Tartar heads, a vest alive, which surprised them, but they didn't expect that the sixth president was a big victory, beheading more than 100 people?

Everyone was amazed when they saw the good news, and Han Daxia praised: "This sunspot is amazing." ”

Luo Xianjue said enviously: "Zhang Jiang is really lucky, the Tartars came to attack the city, so that he could easily get his military merits." ”

Minister Yang smiled: "First there is the lady who has made meritorious contributions, and there are brothers Zhang who have made great contributions, and the ninth master and others have also won a lot, the more morale of my Xin'an army is stronger, the more afraid I am of the Tartars!" ”

Looking at the good news, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, although he was short-tempered, he was happy to see the brothers make great contributions and gather more talents, so that the young master's foundation would be more prosperous.

And this good news is impossible to fake, now the Xin'an Army is emerging, strict in all aspects, it is difficult to have loopholes to drill, and there are Jiu Ye and others to confirm it personally.

He said to Yang He: "Xianggong, my division has won several great victories, and now the beheadings have reached one hundred and thirty-eight, and three live mouths have been captured, so it is time to report the victory to the state city." ”

Yang He nodded: "It is indeed time to report the good news to Su Zhizhou and let him pass the good news to Huai'an." ”

Although he doesn't care about the reward on the official face, if he wins the battle, he should be widely disseminated, increase the prestige of his Xin'an Army, and attract more talents.

And from Tianyue Village to the south, although it is closer to Suqian Huai'an by taking Tongjing Avenue, he belongs to Pizhou Lian Zong, and he should first report to Zhizhou Su Chengxing. Then the state city reported the victory to the capital city, and the government reported the victory to the Huaiyang military garrison government, and finally the military garrison reported the victory to the governor Huaiyang, and the governor Caoyun mansion.

After the governor's palace saw it, he entrusted the Taoist official to personally inspect the battlefield, confirm the facts, and then make a book and send it to the patrol yamen.

The patrol pressed and inspected on the spot, confirmed the facts, and then quickly stepped up and went north to Beijing to report the victory.

Of course, it's not so strict now, and many places don't care if it's true or not, and then talk about it after reporting the victory, but the procedure is like this, and the order can't be messed up.

Yang He asked the Chinese officer Zhang Chugong to write a good report, and asked in detail about the sentry and the specific battle situation of Zhongwuzhai, and said to the ninth master Wen Yan: "Father-in-law has worked hard, you have been sentry for a few days, and you are tired, so go down and rest." Your merits will be recorded in the book. ”

The ninth master, Qian Zhongyong, watched his daughter sit on the chair, and only now did he know about Qian Sanniang's beheading of the thirty-first level.

Seeing how she sat in the seat, although this daughter became more and more incomprehensible, she was happy in her heart and went down to rest with satisfaction.

Zhang Chugong wrote a good report, and Yang He polished it after reading it, and said: "Let the Chinese army send the horses to Pizhou City." ”

The generals below are still talking excitedly, Zhang Songtao's victory in this battle, although it is because of relying on Jiancheng, but it has also greatly improved their self-confidence and courage. The Tartars blew like a god, but nearly 200 people attacked Zhongwu Village, and they were not beheaded by more than 100 levels?

Zhang Songtao can, if he changes it to himself, they think it can be.

Yang He got up and walked to the map, but his heart was not as optimistic and excited as his face.

With the intelligence obtained by the sentinels, as well as the red flag vests captured by Qian Sanniang and others, all kinds of corroboration, combined with the historical materials remembered in their minds, all proved that the Qing army was inevitable to move south.

Especially today, a Niu Lu's Zhenglan Banner Tartar attacked Zhongwu Village, although it was repulsed, but this is only the beginning, the more Qing troops of each banner will continue to move south, and the fierce battle is still behind.

They have been frustrated in their attack on the fortified city, and if they learn a lesson, they will no longer attack the strong military fortress, and instead fight in the field, will they fight themselves or not?

According to his arrangement last month, his 12 headquarters and various teams of the Chinese army, the sixth general Zhang Songtao, the seventh general Dong Shicai, the tenth general Zhang Dong, and the baggage team Sheng Santang stayed in Zhongwu Village, Xin'an Village, Yuwang Cottage, Canal Town and other places.

The remaining five generals of the first-class army, four generals of the second-class army, and more than 3,000 people from various departments of the Chinese army accompanied him in Tianyuezhai, these are all his capital, and they can not be easily damaged.

He seems to be developing well and full of vitality now, but in fact, he is walking on thin ice, and he can't afford to make mistakes on half a walk!

His opponent can fail many times, and failure will not break his bones, but if he fails once, he will be in a situation from which he will never recover.

But if there is no war, the Qing army will go around the city to the south, and all their plans will be in vain.

Yang He looked at the map, all kinds of plans had been formulated in Zanhuatang, and after the army was transferred to Tianyue Village, there were also many field war exercises.

But for some reason, Yang He always has some gains and losses in his heart, Zhong Wuzhai has won a big victory, this is relying on Jiancheng, if he goes out of the city to fight, what kind of situation will it be?

……

On the same day, the good news was sent from Tianyue Village, and the next day, the fast horse arrived at the city of Pizhou.

At this time, the city of Pizhou was still heavily guarded, and the social soldiers and banner troops patrolled day and night, and the officials and generals were worried about the people every day, lest the Qing soldiers suddenly arrive under the city. Or afraid to hear the news of the failure of the soldiers and horses of Master Yang in Yuwang Cottage and Canal Village.

The people already knew about Yang Lian's general soldiers and horses being transferred over there, and many people couldn't understand it, isn't it good to stick to the city of Pizhou, what did they do in the wilderness?

Block the Tartars in the field and prevent them from approaching the city of Pizhou? How can this Tartar be so easy to block, they are fierce and vicious, from the border pass to Shandong, how many elite soldiers can't stop it, and Yang Daren also wants to block it in the wild?

It is time to gather all the soldiers and horses to stick to the city, alas, Lord Yang is young and ignorant, and Lord Su of Zhizhou is also old and confused.

I have to say that Judge Song Zhiyuan's worries at that time also represented the views of a large number of military and civilian people in the city.

Especially as the Qing soldiers got closer and closer, the neighboring Zou County, Teng County, and Yi County were defeated one by one, and the people's worries became stronger.

It was also at this time that Lord Yang's Tangma entered the city, and the entire Pizhou City shook, and Lord Yang faced the Tartars in Suqian, beheaded one hundred and thirty-eight levels, and captured three Tartars alive, how could this be possible?

At the same time, everyone was surprised, wasn't Lord Yang in Canal Town, why did he go to Suqian?

Zhizhou Su Chengxing couldn't believe that he had received good news, although Yang He had fought several times against the Liukou, and the number of first ranks he had won was true, but this was a famous Dongyu strong soldier.

The special good news wrote that more than 100 ugly heads were captured, and more than 100 casualties were on their side, which is even more incredible, a one-to-one battle loss, how is this possible?

If the ugly captives were so weak, they would not have crossed the north and south and entered the pass five times.

Yang Hejie explained why he went to Suqian, and it turned out that the sentry learned that there was a Niu Lu from Tongjing Avenue south in the Tartar Zhenglan Banner, and he immediately made a decision and sent his powerful subordinates to guard Zhongwu Village, and finally won a great victory.

This explanation is impeccable, Su Zhizhou is skeptical, but the credit for winning the head of the Tartar captives is really great, he thought about it, and decided to send an official over to take a look first, what if it is true?

The person he sent was Tongzhi Zhang Kuixiang, as for himself, he didn't come forward, the wild was too dangerous, and the people of Pizhou City couldn't do without him, the old parents of the state.

……

This side was overjoyed at the victory, but said that after Korkun and Zhenglanqi Niu Lu Zhang Jing Suohun were defeated and fled, they lured the enemy for dozens of miles, but there was no movement on the official road for a long time, and it was obvious that the Ming army defending the city saw through their plan.

They were frustrated and angry, and the defeat was too bad, one hundred and fifty-eight men went into battle, and only fifty-seven warriors fled back, only twelve of the inner armor soldiers remained, and forty-five of them were not armoured, and none of the vests were left, and the losses were too miserable.

Oh, and the coatings of more than twenty carts also escaped back six.

But anyway, it's a fiasco!

More than 300 people in Niulu went south in high spirits, and the remaining 200 or so people went north, all of them were afraid and cold, and they had no heart to fight, and this Niulu had already folded.

Especially in order to lure the enemy, they also abandoned a large part of their baggage, only some grain and grass carried by horses and mules, and some light gold and silver tents.

They were silent all the way, and they hurried weakly until the early afternoon, when they were not far from Tancheng.

At this moment, suddenly there was a thunderous hoof sound in front of him, and a large area of cavalry on the official road was pressed by black. Their banner armor is yellow with red edges, and they are surrounded by a pole of armor, murderous, fierce and arrogant, just like Suo Hun and others when they went south.

"It's the soldiers and horses of Manchuria with yellow flags." To their surprise, there were not only oxen with yellow flags, but also some pure white armor, which looked like cavalrymen with white flags.

In particular, after the Jiala Daxu, he followed dozens of horses, a mercury sparkling iron armor, thick and heavy, overlapping like scales, and behind him a slanted pointed flame flag fluttering, fierce and fierce, it was actually the elite soldiers of the Bayala who followed the battle.

Korkun and Suo Hun looked at each other, their eyes were complicated, and seeing them running far away, Suo Hun said: "It's Jialazhang Jing Chen Tai with a yellow flag, Baya Lajia Lazhang Jing Eshuo with a white flag from Manchuria, and Jialazhang Jingming Andali with a Mongolian white flag." ”

They are all old acquaintances, especially Baya Lajia Lazhang Jing Eshuo, Kolkin and Suo Hun have led cavalry with him to reconnoiter the enemy, but at this time they are so embarrassed, the two really don't want to meet these old acquaintances.

Seeing the embarrassed Zhenglan Banner Niu Lu soldiers and horses on the official road, Chen Tai and the others who went south were also surprised, and soon Korkun and Suo Hun were called to their Jiala Daxu.

The leader of the troops came was the Eight Banners of Manchuria with the Yellow Banner of Jialazhangjing Chen Tai, he led a Jiala army, there were as many as five Niulu, 1,000 civil war soldiers, and half of the armored soldiers and half of the unarmored banners.

After all, it is inlaid with yellow flags, and he has forty vests for each of his bulls, and among the five hundred armored soldiers, the elite soldiers in vests account for 200 people.

There were more than 500 more than 500 more than Ding Baoyi, and he led Yijiala to the south, and the total strength was as high as more than 1,500 people.

At the same time, his team also has 20 excellent shield cars, several of which are still car type, the front guard plate is not fixed, and the live pin is used to the fullest, and the cannonball will be unloaded when it hits it.

He was ordered to attack Tancheng, and in one day, he continued to go south according to his original goal.

Along the way, there were 50 elite soldiers of Bayala led by the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner Jialazhang Jing'e Shuo, and 100 armored cavalry led by the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner Jialazhang Jingming Andali, making the number of the team more than 1,600 people, especially about 650 armored soldiers.

With such a huge number of troops, it is no wonder that they are arrogant and infinite, and they swagger all the way.

Chen Tai is the son of Cherge, the elder brother of the general of Yangwu Turge, who joined the Kou deputy, is nearly forty years old, lean and emaciated, and not long ago he was a partial teacher in the three counties of Kedong'a, Wenshang, and Ningyang, and now he is in Tancheng.

He was originally a third-class Lazhangjing post, and with this contribution, no matter whether he would gain anything from going south, he would definitely enter the second-class secular post when he went back, and then go to the next level.

But he didn't have the slightest smug look on his face, still indifferent, in history he also broke Li Zicheng, into the world's first-class Lazhangjing, and then awarded the Ministry of Rites Lang, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and other positions, is quite a city people.

His snake-like eyes stared at Suo Hun: "You said that you led the Niulu warriors to attack the military fortress, and did not say anything about attacking the city in vain." But after attacking, more than 100 people were lost, but they couldn't attack, why is this? ”

Stared at by his cold gaze, Suo Hun felt that there were nymphs and frogs stared at by poisonous snakes, and cold sweat trickled down, E Shuo and others were watching, although they had a relationship with him, they didn't dare to speak for him.

Suo Hun tried his best to stabilize his mind, and explained all the causes and consequences, the equipment and equipment of the defenders, their guns and artillery, their combat methods, discipline and combat effectiveness, etc., all of which were explained in detail.

Colcoin also added that they were sentry into the elite soldiers, how to fight in the field, etc., and the eyes of the Tartars around them widened when they heard it.

Chen Tai listened very carefully, and with his indifference, he was also moved: "The Ming Kingdom is not unmanned. ”

He said: "You said that these Nanban are under the command of a man surnamed Yang, and it is difficult for them to defend the fortified city, so wait for them to go to the wilderness." ”

He ordered Suo Hun and others to join the team and go south with them, and at the same time, he was curious, and led his subordinates to hurry up and arrive at the outside of Zhongwu Village at the end of Shen Shi.

They stood on the official road and looked out, looking at the gong beating tightly, and the guarded look, Chen Tai looked at it for a long time, nodded and said, "It is indeed not to be underestimated." ”

He ordered Ebayala to break off with the Mongol cavalry, and the army continued southward.

In the westward sun, they trampled on the remaining snow, and the banner of clothing and armor gradually faded away.
