After two days of tossing, Fang Yuan was already exhausted, and as soon as he lay down, he fell asleep deeply.

"Fang Junmen! Fang Junmen! ”

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he was woken up from his sleep by Chigutai, and when he woke up, he saw Chigutai's rather panicked face.

Fang Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked in amazement, "What's wrong?" ”

Chigutai hurriedly said, "Huang Taiji's pursuers have arrived!" ”

Fang Yuan looked at his watch, he slept for 18 hours, that is, 9 hours, and quickly got up, went to the city wall with Chigutai, and stared at the Tartar cavalry chasing from afar, with a positive yellow banner, and the number was at least five thousand.

The one who commands the Zhenghuang Banner is Haoge, the son of Huang Taiji!

Fang Yuan secretly estimated that Haoge was only the vanguard sent by Huang Taiji to pursue, and according to the normal itinerary, the large army of Tartar soldiers was at least nearly a hundred miles away.

Hauge had obviously learned the lesson of the border gate, and the defense of Dandongkou was better than the side gate, and if there were no siege weapons and artillery, if he had to attack strongly, he would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The Tartar cavalry did not rush to attack, but set up camp, waiting for the support of follow-up artillery and siege troops.

Fang Yuan knew that as soon as the Manchu Qing army's large army arrived, it would immediately launch an overwhelming offensive, leaving not much time for the Xuanjia army, "Shi Lang's water division has not yet arrived?" ”

Chigutai shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

It seems that Shi Lang's side did have an unplanned change, and he can't wait passively for Shi Lang anymore, and he must start the emergency plan.

Fang Yuan sighed deeply and said lightly, "Found the crossing of the river?" ”

Chigutai hurriedly said, "Found it!" Fang Junmen is simply helpless, there is a river crossing mouth of only five zhang in the upstream thirty miles, and there is no need for a pontoon bridge to wade through. ”

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Order the whole army, leave a thousand people to defend the city, and the rest begin to prepare to retreat, march along the upper reaches to prepare to cross the river." ”

Chigutai immediately ordered a thousand households to go forward to give the order, and the whole army was ready to retreat and cross the river.

As soon as the military order was issued, a sergeant came to report that a large number of fleets appeared on the Yalu River.

Fang Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed to the Yalu River with Chigutai, and looked into the distance, and sure enough, a large group of warships approached Dandongkou, at least thirty of them.

He couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe for the time being, and when he looked through his binoculars, he saw that it was not Shi Lang's sailors who came along the river, but sailors under the flag of North Korea.

Fang Yuan was shocked when he saw it, where did Shi Lang's sailor fleet go, could it be that it was attacked by the Korean National Naval Division and the whole army was wiped out? The Korean state sent a fleet at this moment, what is the so-called thing, is it to cooperate with the Manchu Tartars to attack Dandongkou?

Although the Xuanjia Army is strong, if the Manchu Qing and the Korean side attack by water, it will inevitably stop completely. With the Korean national navy division cutting off the way, it has become a luxury to cross the river and break into Korea.

Fang Yuan's heart gradually fell to the bottom, could it be that the heavens were really going to kill me?

He is a character who never admits defeat, and the panic at the first sight of the Korean National Naval Division is a flash, and he immediately orders Chigutai to immediately abandon Dandongkou and prepare to retreat northward, striving to cross the river before the Korean National Naval Division blocks the Yalu River.

Chigutai is also resolute, in addition to 1,000 soldiers defending the city, the remaining more than 4,000 cavalry, 10,000 war horses have been assembled in less than an hour, as long as Fang Yuan gives an order, he can retreat immediately.

The battleship on the Yalu River surprisingly did not open fire, but slowly anchored in the harbor, lowered its deck, and a general rushed off the battleship first, rushing to Fangyuan and Chigutai.

Fang Yuan raised his eyes and looked, the general was Shi Lang! It turned out that Shi Lang was neither defeated nor mutinied, and finally came to respond!

This time he was really overjoyed, happiness came too suddenly, Fang Yuan hurriedly greeted Shi Lang, and with great joy, he hugged him tightly in public.

After Fang Yuan and Shi Lang hugged, he laughed and said, "Commander Shi, you have waited so hard for me. If you don't come again, I'm going to cure you of your sins, haha! ”

Shi Lang also laughed heartily and said, "Fang Junmen, the warship I sent to reconnoiter saw that the Xuanjia Army had broken through the Dandong Pass, so they returned to report, and as soon as I received the military report, I immediately came with the battleship and troop transport. If you punish the crime indiscriminately, I will not accept it! ”

Fang Yuan suddenly realized, he was worried about chaos before, Shi Lang got the news that Dandongkou had been captured, and set sail from Phi Dao to Dandongkou, there was at least one or two days of sea travel, how could he arrive so quickly?

As for why Shi Lang came with the Korean National Naval Division, Fang Yuan didn't have time to ask, and asked directly, "What about the troop carrier?" ”

Shi Lang looked back at the river and said, "Where can the troop carrier keep up with the speed of the battleship, at least half a day!" ”

Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and ordered Chigutai to prepare to board the ship, so he took Shi Lang's hand, sat directly on the boulder by the river, and asked about the situation these days.

Shi Lang laughed and said, "Fang Junmen, I waited on Phi Island for a month, but I didn't wait for the Xuanjia Army, but I waited for the Korean Navy to attack Phi Island. ”

Fang Yuan suddenly said, "Is the Korean state really colluding with the Tatars? ”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I thought the same thing before, and I was about to give the North Korean sailors a head-on blow." Who knows, Fang Junmen, guess what, what happened to me? ”

Fang Yuan saw that he had sold Guanzi, and asked in amazement, "Could it be that the Korean sailors are not here to attack, but to help?" ”

Shi Lang smiled and said, "No, no, it's much more interesting than this." The Korean sailors have the Tartar Abatai to supervise the army, where do they dare to openly help? Forced by Abatai not to send troops, he could only send sailors to Phi Island. ”

"That landlubber in Abatai didn't know anything about the flag of commanding the sailors, and before the two armies even started the war, the Korean sailors kept sending friendly signals to our army, and asked me if I was short of food, gunpowder, or buckshot."

"Of course, I replied that I wanted food and meat supplies, but after the war began, the Korean naval division sent 20 or 30 feints on the one hand, and constantly talked to us in flags, directing our troops to attack and capture these feint warships."

"I captured the ships, and when I went on board to inspect them, they were filled with grain, pork, beef, and a whole shipload of fine wine. It turns out that the North Korean sailors are here to support and send us supplies, hahaha! ”

Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this strange naval battle, it seems that the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and the Korean State is truly long-standing, and it can withstand any wind and waves, and it can withstand any wind and waves!

The Korean state did not dare to openly disobey the military orders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Abatai was supervising the army, so they could only adopt this more ancient method of naval warfare, and played tricks under the nose of Abatai, and successfully delivered the supplied grain and meat to the Ming army.

This North Korean country is really extremely friendly to the Ming Dynasty, and the history books record that I am not deceived!

Since the attitude of the Korean state was that of the yang and the yin, and that it was a friend rather than an enemy, the Manchus no longer had the support of sailors. As long as the Xuanjia army can escape to Phi Island, they can return to Daming safely.

After all the rain and the sky was clear, Fang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and put his arm around Shi Lang's shoulder, "Commander Shi, you have made a great contribution this time, and I will be rewarded when I go back." ”

Shi Lang suddenly smiled and looked straight at Fang Yuan, "Fang Junmen, the reward or something will be exempted!" You have the grace of knowing me, and I saved you once, so I no longer owe you favors. ”

He suddenly began to see outside, Fang Yuan looked at him in amazement and asked, "What does Commander Shi mean?" ”

Shi Lang Zhengrong said, "Fang Junmen, although my whole family did not die at your hands, but because of you, I will never forget." From now on, I owe you no more. Before the annihilation of Zheng Zhilong, we were a cooperative relationship; After the annihilation of Zheng Zhilong, we will gather if we are together, and disperse if we are not together. ”

Fang Yuan suddenly realized that Shi Lang was still the other party's original design to harm his whole family's life, and it was clear that the two sides reluctantly cooperated because they had a common enemy, Zheng Zhilong, and after annihilating Zheng Zhilong, they went their separate ways.

The pain of his bereavement, Fang Yuan can understand, but also secretly feel guilty.

At that time, in order to recruit Shi Lang, he was really unscrupulous, and he was too ruthless, causing his whole family to die tragically. But the facts have happened, and guilt is useless, so I can only find an opportunity to appease this thunderbolt in the future and win his heart!

The atmosphere between the two was very awkward, but fortunately, at this time, there were shadows of blanching ships on the river, at least one or two hundred.

Shi Lang raised his eyes and said excitedly, "Fang Junmen, the troop transport ship arrived faster than I expected, prepare to retreat immediately!" ”
