Chapter 049: When the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible
Chu Xinying thought of the deceased Shancheng brothers, her eyes were slightly red, and she said: "Of course, I want to take revenge, exterminate the pirates, drive out the Tartars, and open up a channel for the Ming Dynasty, which is what my Ming people should do." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Originally, she didn't have any confidence in the extermination of pirates, and she didn't even dare to think about it, but now that the Ming Dynasty army is here, what is there to worry about relying on it so much.
Ye Gongbing frowned slightly, thinking in his heart that the young lady also agreed too happily, and he didn't consider the current situation of the brothers in Shancheng, he had already lost more than a dozen people, if he died again, then how could he go back and explain to the young city lord?
Sun Yueling knew that Mao Wenlong in history had smooth sailing and arrived in North Korea smoothly, not to mention pirates, even the North Korean army cleaned up for him, and said at the moment: "The country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible." As the Ming Dynasty, we must serve the country and drive out the pirates. β
When this situation was infuriating, he didn't mind plagiarizing Gu Yanwu's classic dialogue.
Mao Wenlong glanced at Sun Yueling and said, "Okay, that's a good thing." When the country is in trouble, it is the responsibility of the husband. This brother is loyal and courageous, and he deserves to be my son. β
was praised by Mao Wenlong, and Sun Yueling secretly screamed ashamed, but his face showed a resolute look.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Mao Wenlong said to Qi Liao: "Mr. Qi Qian, I want to sweep away Houjin's minions and drive Chongding League out of Liaohai, what do you think?" β
Sun Yueling was surprised for a while, Mao Wenlong was clearly the head of everyone, since the plan had been decided, why did he ask for the opinions of his subordinates?
I saw Qi Liao beside him get up and clasp his fists and said: "Mao Junmen is clear and broken, and this time to sweep away the Haikou will definitely be like a bamboo." The mark is all based on the order of the Mao army goalkeeper, and he is willing to meet the enemy as the vanguard in front of the battle. β
Mao Wenlong showed a satisfied smile, waved his hand and said to Qi Liao: "Brother Qi, please take a seat, please take a seat." Since you think so too, then, let's annihilate the Houjin minions in one fell swoop. He said to Lu Jisheng, "Jisheng, what do you think should be done at the moment?" β
Lu Jisheng stood up, slowly unfolded a scroll of charts in front of Mao Wenlong, and said: "Back to the military gate, according to the outpost sent by our army earlier, in order to be able to hold Liaodong, the Jianzhou Nu Chief arranged two red flags through southern Liaoning, and two blue flags through Liaodong. However, they were powerless to take care of the maritime forces, so they only sent some Han troops who depended on them to guard the Liaonan Islands, and at present, our department has investigated and found out that Shicheng Island, also known as Shidao, above Wangjia Island, is a stronghold of Houjin. There are not many defenders on the island, only about 100 people, and there are arsenals and granaries on the island, and a lot of weapons and food are hoarded. β
Hearing that there was a lot of food hoarded, Zhang Yuanzhi, Zhang Pan and others under Lu Jisheng, including Mao Wenlong, all showed excited looks, and their eyes were shining, as if they were some hungry wolves who had not drunk blood for a long time.
Sun Yueling followed Baishi Mountain City all the way, well-fed and well-dressed, naturally he didn't know that this group of soldiers who had been bumping around the coastline of southern Liaoning for a month was lacking food and armor at the moment.
Lu Jisheng continued: "If I am correct, the Chongding Alliance should also be on this island, using this island as a transit point for them to plunder supplies and money. If we want to annihilate the Chongding Alliance, we must take this island. β
"Okay." Mao Wenlong shouted, and smashed his fist on the direction of Shidao on the chart, "Zhang Yuanzhi, Qi Liao, order the two of you to lead your troops to fight and take Shidao for me." β
"No!" The two of them stood up and answered.
The fleet soon sailed past Wangjia Island and headed east.
Shicheng Island is located in the northwest of Wangjia Island, and after Mao Wenlong and Lu Jisheng discussed, in order not to attract the attention of the defenders, they decided to go around to the east of Shicheng Island and land.
At the suggestion of Qi Liao, the general manager of Qian, Baishi Mountain City sent Sun Yueling, Po Monkey and other elite mountain city elites, Qi Liao, Dou Shisan, Zhang Yuanzhi, Zhang Pan and other generals and personal soldiers to form a vanguard to land on the island to fight first, while Mao Wenlong led Lu Jisheng and Mao Chenglu to support with a large army - although this large army was only less than 300 people.
Mao Wenlong watched the vanguard leave, and his signature smile appeared on his face, this expedition to southern Liaoning, Liaodong Governor Wang Huazhen entrusted him with a big responsibility, and he was also very aware of the current situation in western Liaoning:
Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, did not agree -- Xiong Tingbi advocated taking defense as the attack, Ningyuan as the strategic center, establishing a strategic encirclement around Tianjin, Denglai and the Bohai Sea, linking the Mongolian tribes in the north and pacifying Korea in the east, exerting political and military pressure on the Houjin with the "three-way parallel advance", constantly training troops and building forts, and marching at the same time when the troops were sufficient, so as to strangle the Houjin to the east of the three forks.
Wang Huazhen, on the other hand, advocated attacking as defending, insisted on expanding the defense area, and sent troops to garrison the forts outside Quang Ninh City, actively liaising with Mongolia and Korea, urging them to cooperate with the Ming army to jointly attack Houjin. Xiong Tingbi opposed Wang Huazhen's opinion, believing that Mongolia and Korea were too busy to take care of themselves, and could only be used as a strategic diversion and could not be in a hurry to use troops, otherwise they would be easily broken by the Houjin one by one, resulting in no danger outside Guangning City.
Therefore, the two disagreed and constrained each other, making the situation in western Liaoning chaotic.
And as a person highly recommended by Wang Huazhen, he naturally had to solve problems for Shangfeng and act according to Wang Huazhen's intentions. Moreover, Wang Huazhen is the first assistant of the cabinet of the current dynasty and the disciple of Ye Xianggao, the old man of the Donglin Party, and he has the strong support of Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, how can Xiong Tingbi resist it?
Although he does not have a deep friendship with the Donglin Party, at this juncture, he can't help but act according to Wang Huazhen's advice. Moreover, along the way, the people of southern Liaoning ate pot pulp to welcome the king, which shows how much the Han people under the rule of the Later Jin Dynasty hoped that he could recover the lost territory and leap to Liaoyang.
Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong was excited, he is forty-three years old this year, he has been in the military camp for many years and has always achieved nothing, now there is an opportunity to change his fate, whether he can seize this opportunity to do earth-shattering things, it depends on his courage.
Lu Jisheng stood beside Mao Wenlong, looking at Mao Wenlong with a smile on his face, and a sense of pride rose in his heart. He is also getting older, and he is beginning to grow old slowly, whether he can leave his name in the history of the Qing Dynasty depends on this Liaohai fight.
He knew what Mao Wenlong was thinking in front of him, and he also knew and admired Mao Wenlong very well.
This middle-aged man who is always smiling, always has the ability to make people feel close and trust, and by Mao Wenlong's side, there are countless warriors and generals, everyone thinks he is the first to look forward to him, and obeys him.
Whether it was Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Keyi, the apprentices of the three mines who were subdued from Changsheng Island as personal soldiers, or Chu Xinying, Ye Gongbing, Sun Yueling, and other arms and helpers of Baishi Mountain City who were rescued from Wangjia Island, they all respected and revered him.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Jisheng's mouth couldn't help but smile, as Mao Wenlong's chief think tank military advisor, he must live up to his expectations and develop this team that was defeated from Liaoyang into an indestructible iron army that can truly take charge of itself.
β¦β¦
To the east of Stone Island, there is a sandy beach near the coast.
The entire vanguard had already dived ashore and headed for the enemy camp. The burly and tall general Dou 13 walked at the front of the team with a sledgehammer and a monkey, Sun Yueling, Zhang Pan and others walked in the middle of the team, and Zhang Yuanzhi and Qi Liao walked at the end of the team.
Soon, two enemy sentries crept into the woods in front of them, and as soon as Dou 13 launched, the monkey's arrows had already broken through the air.
The screams started, one person fell to death, and the other person was about to escape, but he was caught up by Dou Shisan, and his brain burst to death with a hammer.
Since the defenders have been alarmed, then simply do nothing and kill them directly before the other party reacts, otherwise the effect of the surprise attack will be completely lost.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Qi Liao, Sun Yueling and the others followed the smell of fireworks in the air to find the camp where the defenders on the island were stationed.
The camp is located in an open field facing the bay, backed by a hill and by a small stream.
The defenders built a long masonry wall around the camp, with arrow towers and watchtowers in the corners, and a warehouse next to the hill behind the camp, where a large number of equipment, grain and grass were piled up.
"Brothers in the mountain city, it's up to you." Qi Liao pointed towards the arrow tower, and everyone lurked, giving the best angle to the archer in the mountain city.
"Whew", the monkey pulled the bow and arrows, the arrows were like rainbows, and the two sentries on the left and right arrow towers fell down in response, and they didn't even have time to shout.
"Kill!" Dou Thirteen was the first to rush out, his hammer and Zhang Pan's long knife slamming down on the wooden camp gate.
"Click", the camp gate was smashed open a big hole, and as soon as a defender poked out his head, he was cut off by Zhang Pan.
The officers and men of the garrison in the camp also shouted loudly when they were attacked: "Get up for me, dogs, go out and kill thieves!" β
"Kill the dog's legs!" With Dou Thirteen's loud shout, the camp gate collapsed.
Sun Yueling jumped into the camp after Dou Shisan, brandished a long stick, and beat a defender out a foot away with a single shot.
"Happy!" Dou Shisan and Zhang Pan are all people who come to the heart of blood, and the broken bones will only arouse their greater bestial nature.
Qi Liao shouted, pulled out his long knife and rushed towards the granary.
As his name suggests, the monkey man quickly climbed the arrow tower, eliminated the sentry above with a single sword, and then occupied the commanding heights, condescendingly began to shoot, focusing on the heads of the soldiers.
The defenders in the camp never expected that someone would come to attack the granary, let alone that this group of unidentified teams without banners would be so brave, and they didn't have time to organize a counterattack, and they were broken through the first line of defense in a few moments.
At this moment, the large army led by Mao Wenlong and Lu Jisheng had also rushed through the woods and would soon be killed in front of the camp gate.
The people in the camp gate were indistinguishable for a while, and Sun Yueling saw several defenders fleeing in the direction of the granary with a Jurchen guard in the chaos, and he immediately raised his legs to chase after him.
