It is much easier to set up a temporary camp in summer than in winter, and the most straightforward thing is that you don't have to think about complex warmth factors. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But in summer, there is also one of the biggest drawbacks, that is, there are many mosquitoes, and it is easy to transmit diseases.

Therefore, the first major event in the establishment of the camp, Li Yuanqing ordered to build a toilet first, and both soldiers and auxiliaries, including Li Yuanqing himself, must go to the toilet at a fixed point.

After breakfast and half an hour's rest, the temporary camp has basically been set up, but the main wharf construction work is much more complicated and will take a lot of time.

At this time, the sentry agents who had been scattered before had already found the headquarters of the Changsheng Battalion and reported to Li Yuanqing the latest battle report in the Fuzhou area at this time.

Fuzhou is a big city in southern Liaoning, not far from the coast, at this time, Fuzhou is governed by Yue Tuo, the lord of the Houjin Red Banner Banner, with no more than 1,000 soldiers, and only a few hundred real slaves.

Because of the existence of Lushunkou, the main force of the red flag in southern Liaoning and the main force of the blue flag all focused on the Jinzhou defense line, and the defense of Fuzhou City itself was not so tight.

However, in Yongning, not far from Fuzhou City, because of the salt field and several mines, there are more than 400 Zhenglan Banner Zhennu cavalry, which will be the biggest threat to the headquarters of Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Battalion.

And Yangguan Fort, which is only more than 20 miles away from the temporary camp, also has a defensive force of more than 100 people, but there are very few real slaves among them, but there are dozens of horses, and the combat power is almost negligible.

Based on the available information, Li Yuanqing summoned several major military officers and convened a temporary military meeting to explain his intention to enter Fuzhou.

The officers didn't expect Li Yuanqing to have such a big appetite this time, and they were all very excited.

Duan Xiliang said: "General, if you fight Fuzhou City, you will be willing to be the vanguard of the 1,000th Corps." ”

Xu Heizi also hurriedly said, "General, the 3,000th Corps is also willing to be the striker." ”

Li Yuanqing was very satisfied with the attitude of the officers, smiled and waved his hand, and looked at the most stable official Canghai, "Canghai, what do you think?" ”

Guan Canghai smiled, "I really want to fight Fuzhou now." However, if we start relative to Fuzhou, we must first remove its wings and turn it into an isolated city. General, Yangguan Fort is close at hand, wouldn't it be dazzling to let them stay here? ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "That's what I mean." However, this matter should not be too rushed. Now, passing on my military order, the sons and daughters will rest for a day during the day and march at night. ”

"Yes."

…………

Although the temporary camp is simple, it is land after all, and it is always more comfortable than the ship, and the Changsheng camp has sufficient materials, so the soldiers can eat and drink enough, and their spirits are extraordinarily strong.

Night fell quickly, and Li Yuanqing gave an order, and the main force of the Changsheng Battalion quietly drove to Yangguan Fort in the southeast.

At this time, there were many soldiers in the Ming army, all of whom had night blindness, mainly because the nutritional conditions were too poor at this time, and people lacked many necessary microbial elements, but the Changsheng Battalion, including the Dongjiang River headquarters, due to the advantages of congenital geographical conditions, was close to the sea, and could often eat some fresh fish and shrimp, and this factor was no longer affected too much.

In the middle of summer, the weather is clear, the moonlight is very clear, and the visibility at night is very high.

The team did not light torches, like a long dark red dragon, and quickly and compactly pressed towards the southeast.

In the past, Li Yuanqing also had the experience of marching dozens of miles at night, but at that time, Li Yuanqing's headquarters had very few troops, only a few hundred people, and they were all old soldiers, and they were easy to control, but at this time, the team of 2,000 people was nearly 10 times larger than before.

During the day, it is not too difficult for the team to travel 30, 40, or even 50 or 60 miles a day, but at night, the convergence of various factors naturally adds a lot of difficulties.

Especially when summer comes, the ground is overgrown with wild grass, and it is difficult to find the original road, and the soldiers have a hard time walking.

Li Yuanqing's ankle was also cut by an unknown plant, which was itchy and painful, and it was very annoying.

However, there is some complicated terrain here, but it gives Li Yuanqing a lot of confidence.

Houjin's policy of forbidding the sea made these areas by the sea gradually form a wasteland, where nature began to take root and sprout wildly, gradually erasing the traces left by human beings, like this kind of deep grass, Houjin's cavalry, will never dare to enter rashly.

This reserved more space for Li Yuanqing and the main force of the Changsheng Battalion.

The march began at dark and lasted less than 10 miles until the hour, and the march was quite difficult.

But the deeper you go, the more obvious the signs of human habitation become, and after walking about twelve or thirteen miles, you can already see grain and grass, as well as a few sparse small villages, and the morale of the soldiers is also uplifted.

At dawn, the team successfully arrived at Yangguan Fort, Li Yuanqing immediately sent a few general forces to guard several key intersections around the fort, so that the main force could temporarily rest in a bush two miles away, and he took a few officers and walked forward a few hundred steps to carefully investigate the situation in Yangguan Fort.

Yangguan Fort is a big fort, however, after the occupation of the Houjin army, it is obvious that it has not been repaired very effectively, and the fort city looks a little dilapidated, and there are still many clear traces left by the war.

However, there are several sand and gravel mountains near Yangguan Fort, and the walls of the fort are all made of sand and stone, almost nearly 8 meters high, and it is not easy to fight if you want to attack it.

Li Yuanqing turned to look at several officers, "What do you think?" ”

Duan Xiliang said: "This little castle is still a hard bone. The terrain is really good. General, if you want to storm it, I can take it within an hour. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, but shook his head again, "Don't be in a hurry to attack. What about you? Any thoughts? ”

Li Yuanqing looked at Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi again.

Xu Heizi also understood what Li Yuanqing meant at this time, he glanced at the continuous wheat fields under the fort city, and said with a smile: "General, although the wheat here does not grow well, it is not too bad. I think we might as well take it for these dogs. ”

Guan Canghai couldn't help but smile, "This method is good." ”

Duan Xiliang also reacted, and said with great joy: "Harvest the wheat first, don't worry about not coming out on the dog's day." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Very good." That's it. It would be even better if the Tartars of Fuzhou City could be lured out. ”

…………

As the sun rose and the sky gradually brightened, Wang Sanwa yawned extremely unhappily, stretched hard, and got up from the corner tower on the south side of Yangguan Fort.

He was born in a local military family in Yangguanbao, and after the Tartars came, his family did not flee in a hurry like most military households, but obediently became obedient people.

Tartar remembered their loyalty, so they put Wang Sanwa and his two into the Han army banner, although the monthly salary is not much, but the field is divided into a few acres more, than the Ming Dynasty, life is much better.

Therefore, the two of them are also extremely loyal to the Tartar master.

"Hey, hey. This year's wheat is not bad. I have more than a dozen acres of fields, and the harvest will definitely not be bad. When the wheat is harvested and some surplus grain is sold, it is time to turn over the lid of your own dilapidated house. When the time comes, find a good matchmaker and talk about a good family. On these days, I really don't change it for a god. It's still a wise father. Didn't run with those stupid hats. I heard that the original Lord Qianhu is now in Lushun, and he has become a deputy general. ”

Wang Sanwa thought beautifully, and washed her face with cold water from a bucket, "After today's night, I have to hurry home and tell my father." Simon, the fifth aunt of Allah's son, is pregnant again, and she has to prepare a generous gift for the master in advance. ”

He heard this news from one of the people of Allah last night.

Although Wang Sanwa's family has been the Shunmin of Houjin and has received a lot of 'Huimin' treatment, in fact, compared with the so-called coating, it is still far behind.

Not to mention anything else, the Han people from Liaozhong Baoyi, just a few months earlier than them to Dajin, can share more than 20 acres of fertile land, although they have to help the master's family work, but they can also hire them to work hard.

Wang Sanwa has already made up her mind, this year, he has to mix up the clothes, maybe, do a good job, the master will reward him with a petty official, then his old Wang family will really be developed.

"Ahh-----h

But at this time, he suddenly saw that there was something wrong with the direction of his family's field.

Wang Sanwa hurriedly rubbed her eyes vigorously, looked at it carefully, and was instantly startled, unexpectedly, someone was actually harvesting their wheat.

These shit, who gave them the guts? Don't they want to live anymore?

Wait a minute. Wang Sanwa was suddenly stunned, this, this doesn't seem right.

Looking at a few small red dots in the field, Wang Sanwa suddenly remembered something, and then looked carefully, dog's day, there were these red dots in the surrounding fields.

Especially in the field not far from the fort, dozens of red dots are talking and laughing, and the distance is only two miles, Wang Sanwa can see it clearly.

After a moment, he finally reacted, "Mother~~." It's the Ming Army. No, it's a dog, it's a dog. Ming Gouzi is here. Lord, they, they are harvesting our wheat. ”

Wang Sanwa shouted like a pig.

…………

The reaction of Yangguanbao was more than half an hour later than Li Yuanqing expected.

This also made Li Yuanqing clear that to a large extent, Houjin's defense of the hinterland of southern Liaoning was far less tight than he imagined.

At this time, I am weak and I am strong, how can Li Yuanqing save face for these Tartars?

Except for the 600 people who were left stuck at several intersections and the pro-soldier battalion left behind to guard the Chinese army, all the other soldiers and auxiliaries were all thrown into the team of harvesting wheat under Li Yuanqing's order.

Li Yuanqing also wanted to see if the invincible Houjin army would dare to fight under such circumstances.
