February 21, the twelfth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty,.

The pontoon bridge was finally built, and all the Jianyu couldn't help but cheer in the face of the bridge that would finally allow them to cross the canal and return to the outside of the Guan.

The first, second, third, and until the tenth pontoon bridge was erected, the attack of the Ming army still did not happen, not only Wang Pu, Cao Bianjiao and other Ming generals on the other side of the canal did not move, but also the Yu Guozhenhu guards who followed behind did not move.

However, it cannot be said that there is no movement at all, at least Dolgon's scouts said that in the past few days, troops have been entering the Tiger Guard camp with baggage, and their number has exceeded fifteen thousand.

This is the force to deal with the aftermath of Jinan, they are all collected by Sun Lin, Sun Lin's parting skills may be lacking, but the heart of loyalty to inspire these soldiers is very good, coupled with Yu Guozhen's reward and daily meat rewards, as well as the tragic situation of the people in Jinan and other places, the fighting spirit and courage of this group of defeated soldiers were stimulated again.

Although Dorgon knew that the newcomer was certainly not a tiger guard, he also knew that a flock of tigers led by a sheep could be driven away by dogs, while a flock led by a tiger would not be afraid of jackals. Now Yu Guozhen's total strength in his hands has exceeded 30,000, if he is allowed to gather again, and when his troops exceed 50,000, then his crossing of the river will definitely be disturbed.

So you have to hurry!

When the first pontoon bridge was built, Haoge was the advanced army, and took five Niu Lu and 2,000 people to the other side of the canal. This made Haoge a little disappointed, but he was holding his stomach and wanted to find a place in the officers and soldiers of the Ming Kingdom!

Immediately after that, five cattle were recorded to cross the river, and then began, two pontoon bridges crossed the soldiers, eight pontoon bridges passed the people, and the people who were driven here cried to the sky, and from time to time someone was squeezed into the water, and there was still a thin layer of ice in the river water in the early winter, and people could not be rescued after falling in!

Even so, hundreds of thousands of people and livestock could not be crossed overnight, and from the time the first pontoon bridge was completed on the morning of the 21st, until about 12 o'clock at noon on the 23rd, the people could be regarded as completely crossing the river, and about 20,000 prisoners crossed the river with them.

Dorgon was nervous at this time, and he knew in his heart that this was the most critical time. Yu Guozhen had gathered his forces less than twenty miles away from him, and now he had nearly 40,000 men, if he wanted to attack, it would be at this time!

Sure enough, the scout flew to report, and Yu Guozhen's army began to leave the camp!

During this time, Dolgon repeatedly tried to attack Yu Guozhen, but was discouraged by the defensive position outside the Tiger Guard's camp with a width of thirty to fifty meters. This defensive position was full of deer, trenches, and barbed wire, and Dolgon sometimes even wondered if Xinxiang's wire could grow from the ground, otherwise where would Yu Guozhen get so much!

At this time, hearing that Yu Guozhen finally sent troops, Dolgon's first reaction in his heart was not only not nervous, but relieved: he finally came out!

Yu Guozhen sent troops, which proved that his plan was the same as he thought, that is, to attack the tail army when he crossed the river.

"Order, prepare to attack, Hugh wants to let Yu Guozhen take advantage!" He said loudly.

Speaking loudly, as if to give himself courage in the dark, this made Dolgon's heart quite uncomfortable.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Jianguo had already begun to transport the remaining baggage across the river, and the Jianguo and their servants on the south bank of the canal still had about 90,000 left, and the Jianguo and their servant troops who had crossed the canal already had 40,000.

Huwei led the Ming army with a total of 40,000 people, and it had appeared less than five miles away from Jianwei, and the Jianyu army began to usher in Huwei.

"Nanhai Bo, we have come to Mengnan Haibo these days, and we are willing to be the striker and swear to break the building!"

"Yes, now that Jianyu has been halfway crossed, just attack it, we are willing to fight to the death and avenge this blood revenge for the people of Ji'nan Province!"

On Yu Guozhen's side, the former Ming officers and generals asked for battle.

"There is no chance for you to make meritorious contributions." Looking at these Ming Dynasty military attachés, Yu Guozhen sighed with emotion in his heart, the Ming Dynasty is not without loyal and brave people, but bad money drives out good money, and the more loyal and brave people are, the more difficult it is to be promoted. On the contrary, those who bribe and shoot horses are easy to be in high positions!

"However, today's battle must be forbidden, obey my orders, and under my orders, we must advance even in the face of sharp arrows and artillery fire...... You must have the heart of death to have a chance to win! Yu Guozhen looked around: "Naturally, I won't let your brothers sacrifice in vain - present it!" ”

With Yu Guozhen's order, a big cart was pushed in front of everyone, and the car was full of boxes, Yu Guozhen signaled, and immediately a tiger guard opened the box, revealing the shining silver ingots in it.

"Because of the haste on the way, a total of 250,000 taels of silver were prepared, which was for you, and on average, seven taels per person." Yu Guozhen apologized slightly: "This is really not much, so before this, please register the names of the personnel of each department for me, if there are really those who are killed, each family will receive a pension of thirty taels." ”

The shiny white silver ingots were dazzling at first, but after a while, one of them grabbed one and threw it back into the box.

"Nanhai Bo, these days we get along with the brothers of the Tiger Guard, and we all know the situation in the family of the brothers of the Tiger Guard. If I die, I just ask Nanhai Bo to take my family to Xinxiang, and don't take care of them, so that they can be like ordinary people. The appearance of being in his forties, his face was full of wind and frost: "I have never had any chance, and now Nanhaibo puts the opportunity to make contributions in front of me, how can I not seize it?" ”

After finishing speaking, he saluted Yu Guozhen, and without saying much, he urged the horse to go to his headquarters.

"What I said is that if the eldest husband dies, he will die and sacrifice his life for the country, where can he take care of this silver?" Another officer said angrily: "I, Feng Yi, am not going to come back alive today, Jianlu brutalized the people, and today I died here with Jianyu!" ”

"Nanhai Bo just orders, this silver is not necessary!" Everyone shouted.

"No, no, the warrior sacrificed his life for the country, I can't make the warrior have worries!" Yu Guozhen couldn't help but be moved at this time, this is not a fake, in fact, he rarely fakes in front of his own people, and all the disguises are used to confuse and deceive the enemy. He was really moved by the patriotism of these lower-level officers, and he only felt that the blood on his body was surging.

Those high-ranking big men may think about a lot of things, what are the promotions, wealth, wealth, wealth and grandchildren...... The more they think about it, the more they dare not die for the country, but these simple low-ranking officers, as long as they ignite the patriotism and love for the people in their hearts, they will radiate infinite power!

Since the Panlongling Division, these men who were originally Ming officers and soldiers and repeatedly defeated divisions have eaten and walked with the Tiger Guard, feeling that the generals in the Tiger Guard are real people, rather than the military men who are calling and drinking, and feel that the Tiger Guards are full of hope for the future, knowing who they are fighting for and why, they initially felt strange in their hearts, but they have been exposed to a lot, and they have gradually been affected.

If there were a few tiger guards alone, they would naturally be assimilated by this group of ruffians, but this is 7,000 tiger guards, plus 5,000 Denglai soldiers trained by the tiger guards, and 12,000 people in a group, they are much more cohesive than a plate of scattered officers and soldiers, but they attract officers and soldiers, and gradually feel that being a soldier should be like a tiger guard!

Pengsheng hemp, do not support yourself, the white sand is in Nirvana, and it is black!

Seeing this scene, Yu Guozhen was really very relieved in his heart, he has worked hard in the past ten years, even if his strength is so great that he can completely raise troops to expand the territory, but he still guards Xinxiang's current small territory, in order not to let this united army sprinkle into a puddle of mud like flour. What he wants is to make Xinxiang a model for the rebirth of the whole of China, not to sow dragon seeds and harvest fleas!

Now it's finally starting to pay off.

"Everyone!" Yu Guozhen stood up straight on the horse, making himself taller, and he raised his voice: "Since you are willing to sacrifice your lives to serve the country, then Yu Mou is here to say that as long as Yu Guozhen still has a breath, it will not make you and others have worries." On the banks of the canal is the tomb of you, and even if you die in battle, you must face the north! ”

"Death also faces north!" The surrounding tiger guards shouted in unison.

This cry spread outward like a tidal wave, and for a moment, the whole army was raising its arms and shouting wildly.

"Forward!" Yu Guozhen drew his sword and pointed forward.

The army rolled forward, pressing towards Jianlu step by step, and soon, in their sight, the figure of Jianyu appeared.

Wearing heavy armor and silent, the Ming army often put great pressure on the Ming army. In the past, when they saw such a well-prepared prisoner, the officers and soldiers would be afraid, and they would all be afraid, but today is different.

Yu Guozhen's pre-battle mobilization was not just a moment!

"You have all seen the tragic situation in Jin'an, and you have all moved to Gyeonggi and Shandong, and you have seen how Jianyu has brutalized the people. Since the old slave uprising, Jianyu has repeatedly entered the customs, I can't count the number of times, and the customs are getting deeper and deeper every time, according to this situation, one day, Jianlu's horse's hooves will step on your ancestral grave, Jianyu will rape your mother and wife, will kill your father, grandchildren, rob you of everything, and point to you who are tied up and laugh: 'Look, this is the slave! "Do you want to be a slave to Jianlu, do you want your children and grandchildren to be a slave to Jianlu, do you want my Chinese race to be a slave for generations?" How to choose, in your feet, in your hands, in the blade and in the muzzle of the gun! ”

At the pledge meeting before leaving the camp, Yu Guozhen's words still echoed in their ears, and under the encouragement of this voice, the Jianyu who originally frightened them became less afraid at this time.

What's more, in front of them, there are tiger guards!

This army, which is advancing like a mountain, is more silent than Jianlu, more ruthless than Jianlu, and more powerful than Jianlu!

At 3:20 p.m., the two sides were less than 300 meters apart!
