Chapter 41: Miserable! Battle of Yaozhou

In the face of Yu Zhigao's escape and ascension, Geng Zhongming at this time understood that at this time, Yu Zhigao would definitely lead troops to recapture Laizhou City, if it was only with the power of this Laizhou town and a town, he Geng Zhongming was not afraid, but once the news spread here, I am afraid that it will not only be the soldiers of Laizhou Town, but at that time it will definitely face the anger of all the Ming troops in Denglai.

And this fire is something Geng Zhongming never dares to resist!

So for Geng Zhongming here, for the sake of today's plan, he should quickly find all the ships to go to sea, take advantage of the fact that the imperial army has not yet been fully assembled, and go to sea in one fell swoop, so as to escape and ascend to heaven!

"Dashuai, can you send someone to chase after you?"

When the news of Yu Zhigao's escape from the city spread among the people, someone immediately asked.

"Chase?! What to chase! A group of pig brains, can they catch up at this time? Come, give the order quickly, stop all looting, and go all out to find all the supplies for crossing the sea! ”

"Order!"

......

Just when Geng Zhongming led his army to look around in Laizhou City for materials for crossing the sea, Dengzhou City at this time.

"Are you saying that the sound of artillery outside the city is not the main force of Geng Zhongming's gang, but just a strategy to attack the east and the west?"

Jiao Lian led the army to arrive, following the direction of the cannon outside the city, but surrounded hundreds of rebel regiments in a mountain forest, but here he came to explain the situation to Yuan Keli.

"That's right, Dashuai, according to the thief's confession, it was Geng Zhongming, a traitor, who borrowed the power of artillery fire, but in fact, he sent troops to Dengzhou Port to seek to go to sea and defect to the Houjin people! In addition, the last general also captured five red-coated cannons and countless small cannons in one fell swoop! ”

Hearing this, Yuan Keli burst into a hearty laugh.

"This Geng Zhongming is really willing to spend his blood, if this commander's estimation is not bad, these artillery pieces must be all the belongings of this rebel army, but Jiao Zongbing, you said that this Geng Zhongming is attacking the east and west in order to capture my Dengzhou port?"

"Yes, that's true, but the handsome and relieved, after the last general cleared the remnants of the nearby thieves, he had ordered the deputy general to lead his troops to reinforce the Dengzhou port!"

"No, no. Master Jiao filtered, but Ben Shuai felt a little joking. ”

Regarding what Jiao Lian said, Yuan Keli waved his hand and denied it.

"Oh, why did you say that, my lordship?"

"Although General Jiao is the chief soldier of Dengzhou and is responsible for many defenses along the Dengzhou line, he may not know about the defense of Dengzhou port."

"Please also ask the marshal to make it clear that the Dengzhou port is directly under the imperial military department, but the last general has no right to intervene."

"Haha! But so, don't say that you Lord Jiao, even if you are the marshal but only nominal jurisdiction, to say that this Dengzhou port, that is, the Dengzhou naval division of our empire is stationed, but also the hub of trade in the north of our empire, it can be said that it is of great significance, the defense facilities here are all built by the Ministry of Imperial Infrastructure, supervised by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Supervision, after His Majesty and the Later Jin Emperor Taiji made peace, advocated that the land of Liaodong should be encroached on step by step, but it was the use of a thing, called ' Bunker', this thing is made of what cement mixed steel casting, this Shuai has seen this thing in the Dongjiang River, that is a strange thing!

There is a cannon in this thing, three small cannons (similar to grenadiers), and three soldiers are stationed in it all the year round, and the activities are all in it, not to say that this thing is difficult to blast open with a red-coated cannon, I am afraid that it is the latest shipborne long-barreled cannon developed by the empire, and it may not be able to explode, not to mention that around this bunker, there must be a thunderstorm, and there is an iron network ditch, I just heard what Master Jiao said, this Geng Zhongming actually gave up the siege of Dengzhou City, but went to hit Dengzhou Harbor, so it is a little very interesting, interesting! ”

And just when Yuan Keli was talking to Jiao Lian about Geng Zhongming's abandonment of Dengzhou City and attack Dengzhou Port, a guard came to report that it was Bai Guifeige, the garrison of Dengzhou Port, who passed the book.

"Oh, get it!"

Hearing this, Yuan Keli hurriedly instructed the guards to get the letter, although Yuan Keli was not too worried about Geng Zhongming's siege of Dengzhou Port, but Geng Zhongming's rebellion was a major event after all, and if it was not handled properly, it would be a big disaster.

A moment later, when Yuan Keli had read the letter, not long after, there was a trace of joy on his face.

Seeing the joy on Yuan Keli's face, Jiao Lian hurriedly asked.

"Marshal, what did General Bai say in the letter?"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Bai Gui sent a letter, saying that it was the first battle at dawn, and more than 3,000 thieves were destroyed and the bandit leader Geng Zhongyu was killed! Countless war horses have been captured! ”

"Congratulations! Congratulations! General Bai Gui is victorious, but he is very happy! ”

......

But for the flying pigeon from Bai Gui, all the generals in the hall were smiling, after all, Geng Zhongming suddenly had an accident before, but it came too suddenly, which made everyone a little worried in their hearts.

However, just when everyone was cheering for the news of the arrival, Yuan Ke, who was looking at the generals with a smile on his face, suddenly thought of something, but his face suddenly tightened, his brows frowned slightly, and he muttered a little.

"No, no."

But this situation was seen by Jiao Lian.

"Dashuai, but what's wrong?"

"Master Jiao, but do you find that there seems to be a shortcoming in this letter, or is there nothing mentioned in it?"

"Dashuai said that Geng Zhongming's whereabouts were not explained in this letter."

"Yes, what Master Jiao said is exactly where the old man's concerns lie, it stands to reason that this Geng Zhongming has crossed the sea for many years, but there are six or seven thousand people in my Denglai garrison, I heard that the general Kong Youde conspired with him to make a mutiny, I think that this rebel army should have 10,000 people, and the number of Bai Gui's biography here is only 3,000 annihilation, even if the old man ordered the Zhenhai ship to shell the rebel camp before, there are still thousands of people, but here it is, strange, strange!"

Speaking of this, the veteran Yuan Keli frowned, where are the rebels of thousands of people now, as the commander of the Dengzhou region, he doesn't know at all, but he is guilty of a great crime, and he has a holy grace!

"The marshal is talking about General Bai."

"No, no, Bai Gui has been by the old man's side for a long time, but he is a loyal and pure person, and he must not lie about the military situation!"

Yuan Keli shook his head, but he said.

And just when everyone was puzzled, Jiao Lian slapped his forehead violently and shouted.

"Old handsome, the last general should be damned, but he almost missed a big event!"

Hearing Jiao Lian's sudden sentence, everyone was shocked, and Yuan Keli was even more puzzled.

"What did Master Jiao say?"

For Yuan Keli's question, Jiao Lian approached Yuan Keli and whispered a few words, but he told the whole story when someone borrowed troops before, after all, Yuan Keli is the person entrusted with the important task by the saint today, and he is also the commander of this Denglai land, although it is a person from above who borrowed troops, but in the face of Yuan Keli, Jiao Lian is not easy to hide.

"Is that the case?!"

Hearing what Jiao Lian said, Yuan Keli was a little surprised, he didn't want the emperor to be involved in this matter, so the matter had become more and more complicated.

"I wanted to ask His Majesty for guilt after the war, but it seems that it is going to be advanced here!"

At this moment, Yuan Keli was a little muttering in his mouth.

And at this moment, there was a guard outside the mansion who came to report quickly, saying that Jiao Liang, the younger brother of Jiao Lian, had returned to the city in triumph, and was leading the army back to the city at the moment, waiting for the order of the marshal.

Hearing this, Yuan Keli immediately ordered to go down, and he wanted to go in person.

"Marshal He Lao goes, and the last general can go!"

For Yuan Keli to go in person, Jiao Lian stepped forward.

"No, Lord Jiao, it's not just because General Jiao has returned victoriously, there will definitely be angels here!"

After saying that, Yuan Keli turned around and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

......

However, it was said that Song Guofu was killed, and the Song army was in a rage for a while, and the soldiers and horses borrowed by the iron-blooded captain 'Mr. Li' came to wait for the river mussels to compete and the fishermen to profit.

To say that in the iron and blood, from low to high, there are several levels of foreign affairs, external guards, internal guards, team leaders, military captains, military schools, and military generals, and when it comes to military lieutenants, there are the emperor's powers and responsibilities.
