Chapter 82: Recovering Tieling

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the fifth month, news came from You Shigong that the Ming army had successfully recovered Tieling. The people who heard the news www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion were all elated. However, when Chen Ce opened You Shigong's detailed records, he found that the process of capturing Tieling was not so simple.

When the Ming cavalry arrived at Tieling at about nine o'clock in the evening, it is rumored that the Tartar rout had just arrived about an hour ago. You Shigong rested for a while, and then ordered a tentative attack on the east gate of Tieling. Originally, You Shigong thought that the Tartars would retreat in Tieling City and use the city to block the Ming army's attack. But on the contrary, 3,000 Mongolian cavalry sprang out of Tieling City to provoke, You Shigong had no choice but to take advantage of the night to launch a frontal attack.

The next scene surprised You Shigong even more, the Mongolian cavalry took a look at it and hurried back to the city. You Shigong was confused, and even stopped attacking for a while. When You Shigong realized that this was the Tartar scouting his own strength, the Tartars in Tieling City actually poured out. Faced with the superior enemy army, You Shigong had no choice but to order the Ming army to withdraw five miles away. After a day's journey today, the Tartars were also tired to death, and after scaring off the Ming army, the Tartars took the initiative to go back to the city to rest.

In the first half of the night, You Shigong basically said that the enemy advanced and I retreated, and the enemy retreated and I advanced. After doing this twice in a row, the Tartars in Tieling City didn't bother to deal with You Shigong, they simply turned a blind eye and let You Shigong circle around Tieling City. Fortunately, You Shigong only let some of the cavalry harass, and the rest were resting. At midnight, Hou Shilu's army finally arrived at the foot of Tieling City, and You Shigong ordered an attack without saying a word. Liu Wu, who had long been impatient, led three companies to touch the hole in the East Gate while it was dark, and detonated five or six explosive packages at a time, the East Gate City was broken, and the Ming army took advantage of the chaos to attack Tieling.

It's just that the Tartars in the city are not as weak as everyone thinks, and they organize forces in the city to resist the Ming army. Fortunately, when Hou Shilu came, he asked Shen Jia for some grenades and incendiary bombs, which broke through the building held by the Tartars. After resisting for two hours, the Tartars in Tieling City saw that the general trend had gone, so they had to go out of the north gate and hurriedly flee to Kaiyuan.

The strength of the Ming army attacking Tieling and the Tartars was about the same, and if the Tartars really fought hard, the Ming army might not be able to take Tieling. It's just that the Tartars died one less and one less, and the Ming army had more soldiers, in contrast, the Tartars were really unwilling to lose their vital strength.

"Mr. Chen, hurry up and send a letter to Shenyang. Now that Tieling has been recovered, the center of gravity of the defense outside the pass should be advanced from Shenyang to Tieling as soon as possible, otherwise Tieling will have insufficient troops and will easily attract a sneak attack by the Tartars. ”

"What Mr. He said is very true, I will send a letter to Shenyang as soon as possible."

Shen Jia saw that the matter of Tieling had come to an end, and then tried to ask Chen Ce, "Boss, didn't you seal me in Dongzhou Fort last time?" This Dongzhou Fort is dilapidated, when is it ready to be renovated? ”

"Refurbishment?"

Chen Ce's face was full of sneers, and he turned around and stopped paying attention to Shen Jia.

Since he offended this old fox yesterday, Chen Ce has not given himself a good face. People in the world say that the older people are, the more they can see, this old fox is old, and he can't get along with his hairy guy, so be careful.

"Stinky boy, are you scolding the old man for being careful and ignoring you?"

"Ah, how dare I scold Mr. Chen, there is absolutely no such thing!"

"Hmph, you kid doesn't speak sincerely, and the old man doesn't care about you. Your Dongzhou Fort garrison is just a false name, as for you to go to Dongzhou Fort, that's up to you. But I want the court to give out the money, so I thought about it. Thirteen years ago, Lord Xiong had said thank you to Liaoyang, Kaiyuan Dao Shi Jiu Song eastward survey of the border, at that time Lord Xiong had reported to the imperial court that from Dongzhou Fort, through Ma Gendan, Sanyangyu, Qinghe and other military forts, the city wall is a pile of stones, no ash juice filling, cracking for a long time, a shock to the feet, so collapsed. At that time, the chieftain was ready to move, but the court did not have the money to repair it, and it was delayed until three years ago, when it was completely destroyed by the Tartars. Now Dongzhou Fort is completely dilapidated, unless you can think of a way to repair it yourself, otherwise stay in Fushun with me. ”

After listening to the historical background that Chen Ce talked about, Shen Jia couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that his garrison was purely played by someone as a monkey, and he couldn't take it seriously. However, Shen Jia was not easy to fool after all, so he turned his head to look at Lord Xiao on the side.

"Lord Xiao, you are a fellow acquaintance, you have to find a way to do it. Besides, repairing Dongzhou Fort can be used as horns with Fushun and respond to each other, what does Lord Xiao think? ”

Xiao Ji was sulking a few days ago, but fortunately he heard the news of the recovery of Tieling today, so he hurried to the official office to discuss the aftermath of Fushun with Chen Ce. Hearing Shen Jia ask him, Xiao Ji knew that this matter was tricky, so he said slowly: "Dongzhou Fort is in disrepair for a long time, and it is seriously damaged, if you want to repair it, the imperial court will definitely not be able to take out so much silver, this matter is difficult to do!" ”

"Lord Xiao, in fact, it's not difficult, as long as you have food, not too much, 100,000 stones, give me some salt, tea and the like, it's not difficult to build a Dongzhou Fort."

Xiao Ji's face turned pale, and he roared angrily: "Bastard, the court has its own rules and regulations, how can you be allowed to seek personal gain, the matter of Dongzhou Fort, I will report to the court, and the court will decide, so don't think about it." ”

Nima's, Shen Jia looked stupid, and couldn't help but secretly scold this bastard for pretending to be Sven on the surface, I don't know how many people have been cheated behind him, I haven't seen so much food and materials extorted from Fushun merchants in his hands.

After chatting for a while, Shen Jia had to leave quickly. Whether it is Chen Ce or Xiao Ji, they seem to be very dissatisfied with themselves, and they spit at every turn, which simply doesn't make people talk.

In desperation, Shen Jia said goodbye to everyone and went to a regiment station. Today is the first day of my war narrated by the players of each platoon, and Shen Jia naturally can't miss this good day. After arriving at the station, the training of each company had been completed, and now it was time for free activities, and everyone was looking towards the makeshift platform.

After the law enforcement team announced temporary discipline, the soldiers of each company sat on the ground, ready to see the new way of playing in the regiment today. Soon a soldier of three companies and one platoon, Niu Delu, came to the stage. He was a little nervous, and when he went on stage, his eyes looked down the stage from time to time, and his head hung low.

Zhao Changshun saw it, and scolded angrily: "Niu Delu of the dog day, you are not the first time for the new daughter-in-law, why do you hang your head so low." ”

"That's it, Niu Delu talks non-stop meat jokes on weekdays, but he was shy on stage today, Niu Delu, if you can't come down!"

Everyone in the audience laughed and coaxed.

The momentary stage fright obviously couldn't restrain Niu Delu's natural vitality, and he had a cheerful personality, so Niu Delu soon talked back to the soldiers who were sneering in the audience.

"Dog's day, Lao Tzu is seven in and seven out on the battlefield, just like Changshan Zhao Zilong, Lao Tzu will be afraid of this podium, jokes! You bastards, grandpa, I'll start talking now. ”

"Fuck you, you are still Changshan Zhao Zilong, Lao Tzu is still Sun Wukong! There's a seven-in, seven-out, you tell the guys. ”

Zhao Changshun, the commander of the third company, saw that the scene was a little messy, and scolded angrily: "Niu Delu on the dog day, hurry up, you can't stop calling grandpa, be careful that Lao Tzu asks you to wash the toilet." ”

There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Niu Delu got carried away, but he didn't expect that there were several company commanders among these grandsons, and it seemed that Instructor Shen was also there.

Niu Delu quickly shut up, adjusted his mentality, and then stood on the stage and began to speak.

"My name is Niu Delu, and on the first day of the fifth month, I followed Instructor Ding out of the city to fight. Speaking of battles, in fact we were only responsible for the destruction of the Tartar water diversion fortifications. I have seen the ferocity of the Tartars, and Zhang Wuliu from the neighboring village was hacked to death by the Tartars because he refused to pay the grain. Before I left the city, I was honestly scared, and I didn't believe I could fight the Tartars. ”

No one in the crowd laughed, and everyone was quietly reminiscing about themselves.

"Leaving the city and coming to the water fortifications, the company commander put a platoon in charge of defending against the Tartar attacks. There were a lot of Tartars on the construction site at that time, and they rushed over with bright knives, and to be honest, my head was blank at that time. The platoon commander Ding Wei threw a grenade into the dense crowd of Tartars, and everyone woke up in shock, and took advantage of the explosion to rush up and kill the Tartars cleanly. I killed a wounded Tartar, this Tartar was so strong, he pinched my neck, if I hadn't reacted quickly, maybe it wouldn't be me standing here today. ”

Everyone in the audience listened quietly to Niu Delu's narration, as if they had returned to the battlefield again. Many people's original clear memories, when they recall, find that they are somewhat distant, and the soldiers fall into deep thought.

Niu Delu continued, from the harassment war to the bloody battle at the east gate, and then to what happened during the sneak attack that night.

"When I went down to the city, I slipped too fast, and the hilt of my sword rubbed against the wall, and the sound was so harsh that I was frightened, thinking that tonight's battle was going to be stopped because of my mistake, and I was so frightened that my cat waited for a while, and I found that there were no guarded Tartars near the wall, and I continued to act as planned. After arriving at the Tartar camp and moving separately, our squad happened to touch the vicinity of the Tartar grain depot. When the explosion of the attack sounded, we did not act, but waited for the defending Tartars to run outside to take a look, and then we threw incendiary bombs at the Tartar grain depot. There are a lot of people guarding the granary in the Tartars, if we attack rashly at that time, we will definitely lose some manpower, or our squad leader Hong Song has a way. ”

Niu Delu's words caused several platoon commanders and company commanders to think deeply, and Liu Wencai even took a pen to record it on the side. This was requested by Shen Jia, who needed Liu Wencai to record some combat experience, or stories, to give meaningful guidance for the real battle, and at the same time to establish the company's combat history.

After Niu Delu finished speaking, he won warm applause from the audience. Niu Delu didn't speak very brilliantly, but what he said was what most of the soldiers had personally experienced, and when he heard someone describe the battle scene from different perspectives and angles, everyone felt the same way, but also had a sense of pride and pride.

Shen Jia duly presented the Medal of Honor for Battle, and awarded medals to the soldiers of the death squad who participated in the night attack. Although the three companies were still far away in Tieling, this did not prevent the award ceremony from proceeding. A black iron five-star medal was soon hung on the chest of the daredevils. Shen Jia asked them to stand in front of the stage, and after feeling the envious eyes of everyone, he let the daredevils step down.

Shen Jia gave each of the daredevils 10 paper coupons, and Shen Jia said that this thing was very useful, and they must keep it. The soldiers quietly put away the paper coupons in confusion, but fortunately, Shen Jia's reputation has always been good, and the soldiers did not deliberately ask.

Shen Jia then awarded all the soldiers an ordinary Black Iron Medal to commend and commemorate their participation in the Battle of Fushun. At the same time, Shen Jia issued two more paper coupons to each person.

After arranging these, Shen Jia went to visit the wounded soldiers again, and comforted them to recuperate from their injuries and return to the company as soon as possible. For those soldiers who were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, Shen Jia also thought of a place for them. A company, in addition to combat units, also needs a large number of handymen, a dozen soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness, it is difficult to engage in manual labor, but it should not be difficult to serve as a miscellaneous officer in a company.

The next night, Shen Jia returned home, and Wen Qing told Shen Jia that in three days, it would be Qu Xiaoyi's birthday. Shen Jia was surprised and a little surprised, and hurriedly ran to the warehouse behind, looked around, and brought a pair of land combat boots over.

They all have such mundane things as mirrors, and it's not interesting to send them again. Shen Jia thought about it and felt that Lu Zhan boots with a heroic Qu Xiaoyi should have something interesting. As soon as he entered Wen Qing's bedroom door with his landing boots, he heard Wen Qing scolding: "You die, you don't understand a woman's heart at all, but you still want three palaces and six courtyards, you want to hug a beauty with a pair of broken boots, believe it or not, I'll throw the boots on your face now?" ”

Shen Jia looked embarrassed, and hurriedly shouted: "Senior sister, there is no one here, you should give me an idea." ”

"Take the boots back and don't let anyone see them. You go and see if the two markets are open, go buy some jewelry and come back, and by the way, buy one for me. ”

Shen Jia looked vigilant and couldn't help asking, "Senior sister, you don't want to take advantage of Xiaoyi's birthday to deliberately trick me, right?" ”

"Hurry up, I won't give you ideas, you think for yourself, you don't know the hearts of good people, get out!"

Wen Qing made a gesture to beat Shen Jia, but Shen Jia had no choice but to slip out and walk away.
