Chapter 292: The fierce soldiers are out of the customs
Shanhaiguan does not have a Liaodong strategy, and Yan Mingtai, the governor of Jiliao, should have come here to sit in town, but this kid dragged his feet and grinded foreign workers, and he would not come for a while, and Liu Yingkun, the eunuch of the town, was the highest official here.

Wei Zhongxian still put state affairs first, and did not send someone to inform Liu Yingkun to put on small shoes for Lord Huang, but instructed him to spare no effort to provide convenience for Lord Huang who was preparing to relieve the siege of Jinzhou.
This is also because Lord Huang has a strategy to impeach Wei Zhongxian, and he is not stupid and will not die as soon as he comes up, but he just understated his attitude and told the world that he is not used to being a sycophant and flatterer.
People with ability have personalities, nine thousand years old gritted his teeth and admitted, he didn't want to see the great talent rescue Jinzhou and die in battle, he expected Huang Sheng to be able to relieve the siege of Jinzhou and return triumphantly.
Wei Zhongxian is a royal eagle dog, state affairs are family affairs, his loyalty to the Ming court is impeccable, and in the face of the big problem of the country's survival, he definitely did not stumble behind Yinshan.
Ma Shihu had long known that Lord Huang was going to take the men and horses under his command out of the customs to fight at all, but on the contrary, he was extremely excited. And he took the initiative to tell the officers and soldiers under his command such news truthfully, so that everyone could prepare early.
In the past, when I heard that the soldiers were mourning, but this time it was very different, they heard that they were following the Huang family to fight with Jiannu, and everyone was grinding their fists.
Many people participated in the grassland raid commanded by Lord Huang Mingli, and that time not only received a full double salary, but also shared a lot of looting, and many brothers were fortunate to be favored by the Huang family and became the family members of Lord Huang.
Now a good opportunity has come again, of course, the morale is high, it is really a nest of soldiers, and now the leader is a lion, and the sheep have become a group of lions!
Ma Shihu began to worry again, not because he was worried that he would be destroyed by Jiannu, but because he was worried that the Huang family would take a fancy to the best of his command again.
But Lord Huang is now a soldier in front of the pass, directly leading him, and in the future, his people may take the initiative to take the Huang family as the leader, where should he go?
After thinking about it, Ma Shihu finally decided to be an honest person to do honest things, and everything was arranged by Lord Huang, and he could position himself as Lord Huang's person.
The civil and military officials of the imperial court and the capital division were not optimistic about Huang Sheng's talent leading thousands of soldiers and horses to aid Jinzhou, but there were too many civil and military officials in Shanhaiguan who had confidence in the talent.
Especially Liu Yingkun, the eunuch guarding the town, this kid saw that Lord Huang drove more than 600 miles from less than three days to Shanhaiguan to take office, so the efficiency is not comparable to that of ordinary civil officials.
He not only set up a banquet for Huang Sheng to catch the wind, but also praised the great talent in front of Shanhaiguan at the reception banquet, and agreed to the firearms, gunpowder, fierce fire oil and other materials asked for by Lord Huang, and basically did as long as Shanhaiguan could get it, Lord Huang just took it away.
The next day, Huang Sheng was about to leave Shanhaiguan to go to Zhongming Fort, when the imperial army came six hundred miles to expedite. Lord Huang's task has changed, the Jiannu army has besieged Jinzhou for several days, leaving some soldiers and horses to monitor Jinzhou, and besieged Ningyuan with the main force three days ago.
Now Lord Huang and his men must first relieve the siege of Ningyuan, and as for whether Jinzhou goes or not, we have to see if the great talent can survive.
All this is the same as the history that Huang Sheng is familiar with, of course he is confident, he did not stir up the situation by himself, and Jiannu took the initiative to withdraw from the army, and with his own pole to explode the eight small chrysanthemums, Houjin of course will not fight a war of attrition under Ningyuan and Jinzhou City.
This time, Huang Sheng can't be too cheap for them, they can come and go as much as they want, how can there be such a good thing, and they must leave a few hundred people behind.
At this time, Funing County Cheng Cheng brought 500 strong laborers and 500 stone mung beans to serve in front of the army, and Liu Yingkun, the eunuch of the town guard, was very happy, personally received and praised Cheng County, saying that the court would give Funing a commendation.
On 20 May, the soldiers and civilians of Shanhaiguan poured out of their homes to send off the soldiers and horses who had left the customs, and Huang Sheng told his father and fellow villagers in a very high-profile manner, telling them not to be impatient, and that they would definitely return home in triumph after taking the flag.
Almost no one believed what the other officials said, because all the adults returned in defeat before they could say anything, and some of them could not come back, and they gave their lives to the outside of the gate.
As soon as the talented man spoke, the soldiers and civilians present immediately cheered.
Huang Sheng led 1,800 Shanhaiguan cavalry from the lower barracks under the command of Ma Shihu, the same number of infantry and 500 Funing Minzhuang people in the Chengda Belt to gallop to Zhongming Fort.
The Nekhalkha Xiaotai Jiqing Getai led all the tribesmen living here to welcome him out of the twenty miles, and after he made a big salute, he personally led the most elite 300 cavalry under his command to open the way for Lord Huang.
Among the 300 Nekhalkha cavalry, 100 of them were equipped with similar equipment to the Huang family archers, and they were also wearing winding steel armor and all-steel cuirass, and wearing the Huang family's unique helmet with face armor, but there were no goggles and steel pulley bows.
Huang Sheng, a big killer weapon like the steel pulley bow, could not be given to the Nekhalkha warriors who might be surrounded and annihilated by Jiannu, and he was worried that Jiannu would use it to kill and injure his own soldiers after obtaining such a weapon, only Xiaotai Jiqing Geltai obtained a pair, and he naturally regarded it as a treasure and practiced diligently every day.
When they came to Zhongming Fort, the Huang family was stationed in the east fortress close to the sea, and the first thing they did was to arrange for a part of the Shanhaiguan infantry to take over the defense of the west fort of Zhongming Fort, which was the original Ming Qianhu City.
After replacing the 2,200 cavalry of Qinggeltai and preparing to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Jiannu scouts, Huang Sheng now has 300 archers in his hands, 1,080 cavalry from Shanhaiguan, and 4,300 cavalry from the Inner Khalkha Cavalry.
With such strength, with the 200 chariots he brought, 1,200 musketeers, 120 grenadiers, 60 gunners, and 10 six-pounder field guns, he could completely attack and advance, tear through the encirclement of the red gangsters, and break through Ningyuan City.
The Huang family also brought 300 troop carriers and supply vehicles, 500 auxiliary troops, 500 engineering troops, and 1,000 coachmen, their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the 2,000 Shanhaiguan infantry, and their courage to fight is not many times stronger than that of the Ming army in Liaodong.
Moreover, the Huang family still has 600 heavy infantry like humanoid tanks, and they will only advance and assassinate mechanically when they go to the battlefield, and no one can resist under the cover of the long-range strike of the musketeers behind.
The combat mission assigned by the imperial court, Huang Sheng came to complete it too easily, the problem is that the casualties will be very large.
The newly ascended slave chieftain Honglu found that this army would fight hard with the Huang family at any cost, and the possibility of the net being broken in the end was too great, and the strength he had finally accumulated was fortunate to lose more than half of his troops in this battle, and it was also possible to lose eighty percent of his command.
Although this will cause the Red Gang to collapse, maybe his brother will take the position of the slave chief.
But in this way, not only did he completely expose his strength, but also immediately weakened his strength, people were afraid of being famous, pigs were afraid of being strong, and if the imperial court was afraid of him, he would force himself to regain the lost territory again, and the seeds of the generals he had worked so hard to cultivate would fall one by one in the battles that attacked Jiannu and entrenched in the lair.
Huang Sheng didn't come to make wedding dresses for others, he had a pursuit, he wanted to make Daming an empire on which the sun never sets.
Obviously, if the emperor doesn't do it himself, I'm afraid he won't be able to, and the master will die an ugly death, and the Ming Emperor is Zhu Youzhen, the child, will die sooner or later, because the Ming Dynasty is already in danger, and it is not Chongzhen, an emperor with character defects, who can turn the tide.
This kid is cold by nature, the emperor has no scheming, he doesn't know people, he doesn't know how to use people, and he is impetuous and impatient.
Because he knew that he would soon become the character of Emperor Zhu Youzhen, Huang Sheng naturally had to be on guard, and it was necessary for Mingzhe to protect himself.
It is also necessary to fight Jiannu, but you can't work too hard, and on the premise of not having overwhelming strength, you still take a cheap hand and stop.
You must not exchange the blood of your own soldiers for the rewards of the imperial court, and you choose to avoid battles with more than half of the casualties. Besides, if you go directly to break the siege this time, it is difficult to say whether you can ensure success, and if you succeed by luck, the casualty rate is more than half, and it is considered lucky.
