The soldier's voice grew weaker and weaker, and finally stopped breathing. Wu Shuang stretched out his hand and gently closed the soldier's eyes, and shouted: "Changxing Army! Advance! ”

It wasn't until this moment that the follow-up team rushed to Wu Shuang's place. Seeing the corpses in one place, many people sighed, helped carry the wounded aside for treatment, and cleaned up the battlefield.

In the battle that had just broken through, the Changxing army annihilated 97 Jurchen armor soldiers at the cost of 21 killed, 16 seriously wounded, and 4 slightly injured.

This price was a heavy blow to the recruits, and nearly half of the casualties of the First World War made the surviving recruits a little demoralized.

The Jurchen cavalry charge just now was too thrilling for them. During that moment, many people had the urge to run away.

If it weren't for Wu Shuang's decisive handling of the first deserter, the consequences might have been unimaginable. Looking at the robes lying side by side in front of them, many recruits shed tears.

Wu Shuang came to his team and said loudly: "Brothers! Are you scared? If you are afraid, you can immediately take off your military uniform and go home to farm, and think about what your children will think of you in the future. ”

The recruits lowered their heads at Wu Shuang's two words, and the idea of not wanting to fight and being afraid of death appeared in everyone's hearts at that moment just now, and now they are mentioned by Wu Shuang, and many people's hearts are full of shame.

"Let me tell you, I, Wu Shuang, will not back down! It's just that! More than 100 vests attacked us, and we wiped them out. That's all they can do, such an enemy is not worthy of stopping my Wu Shuang from gaining military exploits.

I, Wu Shuang, will get enough exploits and honors in this battle, and I will be rewarded with Xuntian and silver. When I return home, I will proudly say to my wife and children: I am a hero!

Tell me! Will you be like me? Tell me out loud! Would you like to be meritorious? Will you return home with silver and gold in your bosom? Tell me out loud! ”

Wu Shuang's last words almost roared out of his throat, and the shocked recruits were dizzy.

Ma Xiaoliu was the first to raise his head and said loudly: "I am willing!" ”

Then Feng Sibao and Lao Mazi also shouted, "I am willing!" "The earth trembled.

Wu Shuang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good!" Pack up your gear and let's go! ”

The bodies of the dead in the war will naturally be carried by the people, and after cremation, they will be sent to the Martyrs' Shrine on Changsheng Island for unified placement.

Their families will receive a letter of apology and pension money from Chang Xingjun, and Yongye Tian will also be owned by their family.

Wu Shuang took the rest of his soldiers on the road and continued his march towards Fuzhou, where more battles awaited him.

The performance of the recruits in this battle was sent to Zhang Dou's hands, and Zhang Dou nodded with satisfaction after reading it. Using the recruits to annihilate the Jurchen vest in a battle, although the casualties were somewhat large, Wu Shuang handed over a satisfactory answer.

……

Liu Xitian kept cursing while directing the soldiers to push the artillery: "Temu's tartar!" Destroying the road like this, is this going to tire Lao Tzu to death? ”

Looking up, the originally spacious official road was dissatisfied with the deep coldness and ravines of all sizes. Foot soldiers can jump off the official road and walk in the grass on the side of the road.

But the artillery could not do it, and the heavy barrel alone could only walk on a solid official road. Now the roads are damaged beyond recognition, and it is the artillery team that is most affected.

There were many Changxing troops working in front of them, and thanks to Mang Gurtai's orders, the Jurchens in the surrounding Tunpu fled completely, and even their Han clothes were taken away.

Unable to find enough manpower, the Changxing army had to repair the road by themselves, first having to fill up the large and small pits with stones, and also laying wooden planks on them to allow the artillery to pass.

Thousands of Changxing troops turned into a road-building army, and the original plan to launch on Fuzhou City two days later was continued.

Zhang Dou looked at Changxingjun who was working, and his brows furrowed. Mang Gultai was smarter than he thought, not only did he not take the initiative to fight, but he also stood in the wilderness.

Let Zhang Dou mobilize an army of 12,000 people, intending to defeat Mang Gurtai in one fell swoop and occupy Fuzhou's plan to go bankrupt.

Looking at the slow-moving artillery team, he kept pondering. Without the cooperation of heavy artillery, can he capture the well-defended Fuzhou?

But if the official road is repaired, reinforcements from the Jurchens will also arrive. Are you really ready to fight the Jurchens?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Dou finally decided to leave the 2,000 Changxing army to continue to build the road, and he personally led more than 6,000 people to continue to advance.

Can't let Mang Gurtai be too easy, once Mang Gurtai raids the Changxing army in road construction, even if he can win, he will suffer heavy casualties.

……

Mang Gurtai sat in the Fuzhou city mansion with a wine glass in his hand and listened to Tanma's report, his plan to destroy the official road almost made it difficult for the Changxing army.

When he heard that Zhang Dou only brought a few thousand people to advance lightly, he couldn't help laughing.

"Haha! Zhang Dou was extremely arrogant, and he only brought thousands of people and horses to dare to come to Fuzhou to die. Ben Belle will surely fulfill him by making a wine bottle of his head and offering it to Amma! Mang Gurtai said arrogantly.

Although the fort was built not long ago, its defense should not be underestimated. The length and width of the fort are only two miles, and the city wall is more than two zhang high. The defenders inside reached 3,000 people, and this is the forefront of Fuzhou and the first stop of Mang Gurtai's key defense.

Zhang Dou used a clairvoyant mirror to observe Antai Fort for a while from a high place, and ordered: "Let's start!" ”

The earth-shattering drums sounded, and the Changxing army surrounded Antaibao. The defender on the fort wall was none other than Mang Gurtai's confidant Arubu, who led a Jiala's Zhenglan Banner and a Jiala's Han Army Banner to sit on the first line of defense in Fuzhou.

Looking at the Changxing Army who came from the chrysalis, he was still a little nervous in his heart. The prestige of the Changxing Army was fought battle after battle, and there was absolutely no fascination.

"Let the mud kans prepare their artillery, and fire it as soon as the Changxing army enters the firing range!" Arubu commanded.

"Huh!" His Geshha agreed to give the order, but the next move of the Changxing Army made Aru a little confused.

I saw that the Changxing army stopped when they reached a place three miles outside Antai Fort, they stood two steps apart, took a small shovel three feet high from behind them and began to dig desperately.

"This is the world-famous Changxing Army? It can't be a bunch of farmers pretending! What are they digging so far for? Aru was overwhelmed with a lot of questions.

Anyway, Arubu felt that Changxingjun must have their intentions in doing this, and maybe there was some conspiracy waiting for him.

No way! Can't let the Changxing Army outside the city toss, what must I do?

"Fire! Let all the artillery shoot at the Changxing Army! ”
