In the near night, the Yi Army, who had retreated all the way to the north in a hurry, and the 2,000 Eastern Daocheng Defense Coalition Army finally stopped fleeing, lit a fire in the area of Sandaogou to keep warm, and camped temporarily.

The cold wind howled in the valley, and when they fled, they not only lost all the marching tents, but also did not even have time to take away the military rations, so they had to starve and roast the fire, pointing to tomorrow to see if they could find some game in the mountains and rivers.

Song Qing, Ma Yukun, Ma Desheng, Zhang Xiluan——, a group of generals sat silently by the fire, all dejected.

"This battle is only celebrated, and he is willing to accept the law of the country!"

Song Qing said with a sad and indignant face: "I wanted to kill the enemy to repay the Son of Heaven, but I didn't expect it to come to an end, how could I see the Son of Heaven again?" ”

"Junmen, in today's battle, the Yi Army, the Ma Division, and the Wu Yi Army of General Nie's General Soldier fought bravely and bravely, which is obvious to all; Who would have thought that the would-be cunning and tens of thousands of troops would raid from four directions, pointing at your thousands of troops, how could they resist? ”

Zhang Xiluan, who led the troops to stay in the Weizigou camp next to him, and escaped by luck, opened his mouth to persuade: "And the 4,000 Ming army sitting on Jiulian City actually didn't let go of a single shot, and sat back and watched the armies fight hard!" ”

Song Desheng, who was sitting on the side, answered with hatred: "This Liu Shengxiu deserves to harm others and himself!" ”

"Alas, I don't know what happened to Jiulian City, but I hope that Admiral Liu will be in heaven."

Song Qing said nonsense that even he didn't believe, and sighed faintly.

"For today's plan, the only way is to arrive in Phoenix City as soon as possible, and then ask the court for troops, and think long-term."

After a day of fierce battles and a day of running mountain roads, Ma Yukun, who was hungry with his chest against his back, suddenly sighed and said: "When it comes to fighting, I only admire He Changying, this kid; This time, it was the same as the last Pyongyang battle, first taking advantage of the cheap, and at the last moment, this kid led his troops away in style. ”

Hearing Ma Yukun's words, the dozen or so Qing army generals gathered around the fire were all surprised at first, and then they all thought about it and became convinced.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it!

This time, the defense line of Hushan Jiulian City was lost, and when they arrived in Phoenix City, everyone didn't know what kind of anger they would face from the imperial court.

Including Ma Jinxu and Nie Shicheng, the victory in Hushan on the first day was completely in vain, and it is estimated that the nineteenth will be condemned by the imperial court.

The only exception is He Changying.

And the reason why He Changying led his troops westward this time was because Liu Shengxiu, who was now trapped and killed in Jiulian City, was pushed over alive and dead.

"To put it mildly, I estimate that Admiral Liu of Jiulian City can die of anger when he thinks about this!"

Zhao Yunqi was garrisoned in the left battalion of the Yi Army, but he was in his early thirties, although his official position was not high, but he had always been brave in battle and straightforward, which was deeply valued by Song Qing.

He listened to Ma Yukun's words, and couldn't help grinning and said: "The military gate repeatedly asked him to go to Shahezi, but Admiral Liu just didn't move his nest alive or dead, and forced General He Shen to kick over; It's good now, if he wants to move his nest, the Japanese soldiers won't agree. ”

After listening to Zhao Yunqi's words, everyone thought about Liu Shengxiu's desperate appearance in anger, and they all laughed bitterly.

"I said, General He couldn't have estimated the current situation before, right?"

Zhang Xiluan exclaimed, and then even he shook his head with a smile: "How is this possible, is he Zhuge reincarnated?" ”

"They're going to fight the Japanese in Yongchuan!"

At this moment, Song Qing seemed to have figured out a lot of things that he hadn't understood before: "Last night, Anton Lu Benyuan called and said that it was a righteous man from North Korea who found out that there were more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers in Yongchuan; And since yesterday afternoon, we have set up artillery on the riverside and placed several fishing boats that were intercepted in Xiaohe Lane on the riverside. ”

Song Qing said with a wry smile: "The Japanese will definitely let the Yongchuan soldiers cross the river today and contain the downstream armies; The Sheng army is okay to defend the city now, but Lu Benyuan and Sun Xianyin will never dare to let them go out of the city to fight, for fear of bombing the camp! More than 2,000 reinforcement troops, 2,000 Renzi troops, nearly 3,000 Feng troops, and 6,000 Sheng troops in Andong County, these 13,000 soldiers, even if they are heaps, they can also pile up the 1,000 Japanese soldiers to death! ”

"This-"

Only then did everyone at the fire come to their senses, and they opened their mouths angrily, but they didn't know what to say.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the mountains and forests ahead, which frightened everyone into changing color.

It's all dark, is it possible that the Japanese soldiers are chasing after them again, and they are not tired, and they are beaten with iron?

"Military gate, military gate, there is food, there is food!"

At this time, Song Dexue, the head of Song Qing's Goshha, ran over with a pheasant in his arms excitedly.

"Okay, let's boil a big pot of chicken soup tonight and drink;"

Song Qing heard that it was not the Japanese calling, and the heartbeat of 'puff pass' suddenly slowed down, blushing with an old face, and said with a laugh: "Add more water, the chicken soup tube is full!" ”

On the left bank of the river, ten miles south of the three ditches, the mouth of the river.

Nie Shicheng, who was together with the troops, and more than 3,000 remnants of Ma Jinxu's army, were cooking on the fire.

Because it was defending on the mountain, the soldiers of the two divisions usually tied dry food and salt bags around their waists, and although the marching tents were all lost, everyone was wearing cotton clothes at this time, and they didn't feel cold.

The main thing is that a fire is raised, and the soldiers, who have been hungry for a day, can take the water of the river and have a good meal.

"I don't know if Liu Shengxiu died in battle or died of anger this time, just one day, who would have expected such an earth-shaking shock, Shahezi, which looked extremely dangerous before, has now become a blessed land."

At this time, Ma Jinxu, who was sitting by the fire waiting for dinner, didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

I cried because I not only lost my troops this time, but also didn't know how the court would punish me afterwards.

laughed because Liu Shengxiu, the big smoker who had pressed him for more than ten years, until he finally swept him out of the Ming Army, was finally finished.

"He will be angry, but he will not die of anger, let alone die in battle, he will only surrender;"

Nie Shicheng said quietly: "As the old saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times, I really don't know if this He Changying is a hero or a hero!" ”

"What? He's just got the idea right and he's lucky. ”

Ma Jinxu was a little unimpressed.

"Good idea, just lucky? I'm afraid not so; ”

Nie Shicheng said in a deep voice: "He fought Dongxian Mountain, escaped the Anhe Night Defeat, fought Shun'an Station, planted Songyuan, avoided the fall of Pyongyang, and now he has won the victory of Hushan, avoiding the defeat today; Once, twice is luck, and again, what is that? ”

"Shhhh

Ma Jinxu gasped and said in surprise: "You don't mean that he saw it before, right, then wouldn't he become a living Zhuge ? ”

"The reinforcement army is now going to fight the Japanese soldiers in Shahezi downstream, and now it may have been finished; He's only twenty-four years old this year, this kind of vision, this kind of state of mind, this kind of means-"

Nie Shicheng used three 'this' in a row, and his body trembled heavily.

His face turned pale, and he didn't want to say any more.

Andong County, Shahezi.

At dawn on October 26, when the battle was raging on the front line of the Hushan River estuary in the upper reaches, Okuyama Yoshisho ordered the bombardment of Andong County on the left side of the Yalu River, on the opposite bank of Shahezi, Matianpu.

The 6,000 Sheng troops guarding Shahezi were still dealing with several artillery counterattacks at the head of the city at first, but found that they could not hit the Japanese artillery positions on the opposite bank at all, and most of the Japanese artillery shells could not hit the city, so they simply stopped the bombardment.

As a result, the entire army of 6,000 Sheng troops nested in Andong County, bombarded at will with the Japanese army.

Okuyama Yoshisho saw that the artillery had been bombarded for a long time across the wide Yalu River for more than ten miles, but there were not many shells that blew up into the county seat of Andong, so he had no choice but to order the shelling to stop.
