8 Sandy Ridge Station
After a night of marching, Cao Bianjiao and others finally arrived at the Shaling Post Station on the bank of the Liao River in the early morning of this morning, which is the transit point for Huang Taiji to attack Ningjin, but because it is the rear, there are only 500 soldiers and horses in the Shaling Station, after Cao Bianjiao led the army to arrive, he did not hesitate to order Zu Dale to take advantage of their defenselessness to take advantage of their defenselessness to take a surprise attack to take the Shaling Station. After occupying the station, Cao Bianjiao did not make his soldiers go on a killing spree, but imprisoned them, let them eat and rest, he did not think about occupying this place at all, his goal was the upcoming military supplies.
"General Cao, the last general is looking forward to the Ming army day and night, don't hide it, the last general Liu Zhaosun, the ancestor is Liu Wei who was martyred in the Battle of Salhu!" When Cao Bianjiao occupied the Shaling Station, a Niu Lu knelt directly in front of Cao Bianjiao, which made Cao Bianjiao also startled.
"Liu Zhaosun? You are the son of General Liu Wei, as far as General Ben knows, the Liu family was all killed in battle back then, why did you survive? "Cao Bianjiao was also very surprised, he knew about the war in Salhu, but the Liu family was all killed in the battle, and he had never heard of any living mouths left!
"In the battle of Salhu that year, after the death of the father, the last general led the army to continue the battle, and in the end there were less than 100 people left around, a guard next to the last general, in order to leave a little blood for the first father, the last general was knocked unconscious, and the last general changed clothes, and then when the last general woke up, he was captured by Jiannu, and the last general endured humiliation for 20 years, just waiting for this day."
When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he was also full of emotion, helped Liu Zhaosun, and said with relief: "General Liu, please get up, it's not a secret, we didn't fight, but fled, the Ningjin defense line is critical, we led the army to rescue, but the prison army seized power, we were defeated in successive battles, and had to flee east to here, and we are still trying to prepare to return to China, after the general is a loyal martyr, he will return to China with us!" ”
"Thank you, General! Another thing, I got the news yesterday that a group of Jiannu soldiers escorting military supplies will arrive before dusk today, and they will stay here tonight, it is said that they are transporting military supplies to the front line. ”
"Good! Heaven will not die, I will wait! ”
On the east bank of the Liao River, a team of brightly dressed, bright swords and guns of the Qing army is slowly marching, you can already see the Liao River not far away, the leader of the team is nearly forty years old, very delicate, and the Qing army soldiers who have always been rough are very different, but like the son of the Ming Dynasty.
Na Jiala rode on his horse, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head to the soldier beside him and asked, "How long will it take to get to the Shaling Station?" ”
"Returning to Lord Jiala, after crossing the big river in front, there is still a stick of incense time to get to the Poshaling Station." One of the soldiers replied, gasping for breath.
"Speed up, it will be dark in a while, and after crossing the river, we will arrive at the post station, and then everyone can have a good rest." Nagara shouted behind him.
An hour later, Na Jiala with 1,500 soldiers and horses had arrived outside the Shaling Post Station, only to see the gate of the post station open, there seemed to be no one inside, Na Jiala said to the soldiers behind him: "You take a few people to have a look, report it, let them prepare to welcome, prepare meals, brothers are tired." ”
At this time, Liu Zhaosun walked out, bowed his hand and said: "The slave has asked the adults to say goodbye, the slave is preparing food and lodging for the adults inside, and he failed to come out in time to greet him, and please forgive the adults!" ”
"Excuse me! Excuse me! The brothers are hungry and tired, stop talking nonsense! At that moment, Na Jiala also turned over and dismounted directly, threw the reins of the horse to Liu Zhaosun, and walked into the post station with a swagger, and then the soldiers also pushed the cart into one after another, ready to enjoy a delicious meal.
"Poof......" A sharp arrow broke through the air, and between the lightning and flint, the arrow flew out and went towards Na Jiala's chest, only to hear a sound of entering the flesh, and shot Na Jiala directly, and Na Jiala did not know what happened until he died.
......At this time, the Ming soldiers who were ambushed around rushed out, like a tide, from the nearby mountains and forests, rushed out of the post station, and rushed towards the Qing army escorting the car, slashing swords and stabbing with muskets, and the sound was endless.
All the Qing troops who escorted the car were blinded, they didn't know what was going on, how could there be such a large Ming army here, many people were on the road for a day, and were about to enjoy the meal, but they didn't expect to be greeted with knives and guns, and many people were killed by the Ming soldiers before they could draw their sabers.
More than 7,000 people, 1,500 people surrounded in the heart, a random chop, just a hand, nearly half of the Qing army died under the Ming saber, the rest of the people are also ready to resist after coming back to their senses, but their Jiala has been shot, no one to command, no way of fighting, each fights, want to escape, but can not escape, there are Ming soldiers in all directions, the Shaling post station is surrounded by water.
There is no doubt about the end of this war, an hour later, the battle is completely over, the Qing army of 1,500 people, except for more than 100 people who were captured, the rest of the people were directly killed, Cao Bianjiao's side has occupied the terrain, time and other factors, and its own losses are very small, but only 300 people, which can be described as a great victory.
"See what's all it like?" Cao Bianjiao walked in the sea of corpses and blood, his face did not change, he walked leisurely, very calmly, and gradually got used to this scene.
The canvas covered in the car was lifted by Cao Bianjiao, and the muskets and artillery stacked inside, as well as weapons such as knives and spears, as well as food, nearly 100 carts, the front 20 were loaded with weapons, and the back were all grain.
"It's all good things, we have so much armament, enough to support us until we return to China." Zhu Wende was also very excited, now they are short of these, they don't have much food, and the weapons are also dilapidated, just when they need to be replaced, they really doze off and send a pillow.
"General Zhu, General Zu, come here." Cao Bianjiao pulled Zhu Wende and Zu Dale aside.
"General Cao, what's the matter?" Zu Dale was still immersed in the victory of this battle, and he seemed very excited.
Cao Bianjiao pulled down his face, and said with a serious face: "Two generals, now that we have obtained this batch of military funds, our previous plan has also deviated, originally we didn't think of these, it was to prepare a raid on the nearby big towns to seize the supplies, and then cross the sea to return to China, but now we have taken this batch of materials, the situation is different, now we don't need to go anywhere else, we can immediately go south to take Gaizhou, I asked Liu Zhaosun, he said that there is a Qing army in Gaizhou, there are hundreds of warships, What do you think of the four thousand people? ”
"Then let's go to Gaizhou to seize the ship and return home, we have so many supplies now, are we afraid that we won't be able to take them?"
