Chapter 278: Return to Fuzhou
~~~~~~~
Four days later, it was already April 13 of the third year of the Apocalypse, and the main force of Houjin unexpectedly reappeared outside Fuzhou City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The day before, Niu Gensheng and Zhang Biao had already rushed to Fuzhou City by sea, and Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan were already aware of the situation in Lushun.
Zhang Biao brought nearly 300 soldiers and more than 500 auxiliaries, which made Zhang Pan suddenly regain a lot of strength, and he had the posture to do a big job.
has lost so much, he also wants to follow behind Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong and get a little back, at least, to have an explanation for all aspects.
At the same time, there were also battle reports from the Phi Dao side.
As Li Yuanqing expected, during the period when the main forces of the Later Jin Dynasty were gathering in southern Liaoning, Mao Wenlong's main forces had already merged with Chen Jisheng of Kuandian and defeated the two waves of defenders on the periphery of Zhenjiang.
However, Mao Wenlong did not choose the well-defended Zhenjiang this time, but chose Yizhou, which is not far away.
According to Mao Wenlong's description, the main force of the Dongjiang River has cleared most of the obstacles around Yiju, and the city is about to be broken.
This time, although Jinzhou and Lushun fell, in the overall situation of Liaodi, Dongjiang still occupied a certain initiative.
At this time, the main force of Huang Taiji's white flag, the main force of Dai Shan's red flag, the main force of Mang Gurtai's blue flag, and Yue Tuo's main force of the red flag, as well as several Niu Lu with the yellow flag, were all in Fuzhou.
At this time, it is the spring ploughing season, even if there are still a lot of cattle in Houjin, they still have to farm, and cattle, sheep and horses must also raise fat at this time to supplement the nutrition of winter damage.
Especially when the war did not go well after last year's spring ploughing.
And the main force of the two yellow banners led by the old slave himself wanted to safeguard the core interests of the hinterland of Houjin ----- from Liaoyang and Shenyang to Laozhai, and did not dare to rashly send troops.
This time, on the eastern front, on the Yiju side, the available forces of Houjin were only part of the troops of Amin with the blue flag and Du Du with the white flag.
If Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong can conquer the main force of Emperor Taiji in Fuzhou, then ~~, in Yizhou, Mao Wenlong will have almost no pressure to conquer Yizhou, just around the corner.
On the head of Fuzhou City, when he saw the white flag again, Zhang Pan gritted his teeth, "It's Huang Taiji's dog crumb." ”
Huang Taiji's army was still arrayed outside the north gate of Fuzhou, as if they wanted to rebuild the camp that had been burned down by Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, but the distance was quite retreating, two miles away.
Chen Zhong couldn't help sneering, "Dogs still don't have long memories." This is fucking for us to see. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded, "Huang Taiji is never willing to suffer such a big loss, coupled with the smooth progress of the marshal on the Eastern Front, this guy must not be able to endure for long." Let's not rush, he'll show his flaws soon. ”
Zhang Pan glanced at Li Yuanqing.
Looking at the tall and handsome body of the young man in front of him, as tall as a straight green pine, his eyes were sharp, and his movements were resolute, as if in this world, there was nothing at all that could stump him.
Look at himself again, he is depressed and has no fighting spirit, where is the demeanor of a general?
Zhang Pan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Before, in front of Li Yuanqing, he always wanted to rely on the old and sell the old to highlight his importance.
Li Yuanqing didn't care about the previous entanglements, and helped him again and again, even now, his mistakes buried the good situation of the Ming army, but Li Yuanqing didn't complain and complain about him.
On the other hand, Chen Zhong, although he walked conservatively, he was close to Li Yuanqing step by step.
Quietly, the Hiroshima Department has grown a lot.
Zhang Pan has been fine for the past few days, he has already checked the Tartar heads cut off by Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, and the real slaves alone have exceeded the thousand-level, not to mention the soldiers and miscellaneous servants of the Mongolian Tartars and the Han Army Banner.
Zhang Pan suddenly regretted that he couldn't say anything, why did he want to be more true in the first place?
If you take it step by step, steadily and steadily, and cooperate closely with Li Yuanqing, how can it be like today?
It's a pity that in this world, there is never a regret medicine.
Zhang Pan also had to hope that Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong could pull him in the next battle and let him recover some of his vitality.
At this time, the 1,000th Brigade of the Changsheng Battalion, which was originally stationed outside the city, and Chen Zhong's 1,000th Corps, had withdrawn to the city.
Li Yuanqing also did not build any defensive fortifications such as moats and rivers outside the city.
Under the city of Fuzhou, it is flat, and the Houjin army can attack it at any time.
It's just that, compared with before, the seven red-clothed cannons are now standing on the head of Fuzhou City, and the dark muzzles of the cannons are aimed at the direction of the main force of Houjin not far away.
At this time, Huang Taiji was not in a hurry, and Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry.
The grain, grass and resources in Fuzhou City are simply outrageously sufficient, even if Huang Taiji has to spend two or three years outside the city, it will follow Li Yuanqing's wishes.
There is Mao Wenlong who made a big move on the Eastern Front, and on the Western Front, the oil and water are not big, and dragging them can also drag these dog Tartars to death.
"The materials of Lushun City can be held out for more than ten days, and Huang Taiji's dog day is really good~ temperament. Does he still want to finish the ink? ”
The state of materials in Arthur City, no one knows more than Zhang Pan.
Chen Zhong also knew the details at this time, and couldn't help but sneer.
Zhang Pan's face is a little unsightly, this label is really stupid as a pig.
He uses people with this look, no wonder he lost the battle.
Zhang Biao was not far away at this time, and he also realized his big mistake, but it was not as good as a scout in the Changsheng Camp to have the means.
But it's already like this, Zhang Biao has no choice, so he has to stand aside carefully and wait for all kinds of disposals.
Li Yuanqing said: "Huang Taiji is scheming, he has to wait, naturally there is a reason for him to wait." We must not slack off, we must defend steadily. ”
Chen Zhong smiled and nodded, "Yuanqing, don't worry." I'll go around the place again. ”
After Chen Zhong finished speaking, he hurriedly rushed towards the east gate with a few personal soldiers.
Although he was disdainful of Huang Taiji on his lips, he didn't dare to relax in his heart.
In fact, to this extent, Fuzhou City is almost impregnable, and in a large sense, if the time permits, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong can even pull out to fight with the main force of Houjin.
However, with the loss of Jinzhou and Lushun, the situation in southern Liaoning is not as optimistic as before, and no one dares to be careless.
The soldiers around him all retreated far away, and only Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong stood at the head of the city, facing the faint spring breeze, observing the situation on the battlefield.
This scene seems familiar, but now it is a matter of people.
Li Yuanqing didn't know what to say to Zhang Pan, there were too many words, but he could only turn into silence.
After a while, Zhang Pan suddenly said, "Yuanqing, I'm sorry." I listened to you, why should I be reduced to this? ”
As the saying goes, money is a man's guts, and clothes are a man's face.
For soldiers like Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, the soldiers under their command are their roots, at this time, without the familiar sons, how can Zhang Pan have the confidence?
Seeing Zhang Pan bowing his head in front of him, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said for a moment: "Brother Zhang, you and my brother, why do you need to be like this?" Lushun, I will definitely help you call back. ”
Zhang Pan nodded emphatically, and suddenly smiled bitterly.
He believed that Li Yuanqing would definitely be able to help him fight Lushun back, after all, with Fuzhou, Jinzhou and Lushun were isolated cities, and it was impossible for the Houjin army to hold out for too long.
But his mistake, even the prison army disappeared on the battlefield, how should he explain to Mao Wenlong? How to explain to the court? How to explain to the emperor?
Li Yuanqing also felt Zhang Pan's mood swings at this time, and suddenly shook Zhang Pan's hand heavily, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, even if I don't want to fight this body, I will save your life." ”
Zhang Pan's body was stunned, and tears were about to pour out, "Yuanqing, you ......"
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Zhang, we are brothers." ”
Looking at the smile that was once the most familiar, Zhang Pan's heart was simply mixed, and he turned over the river and the sea, and after a moment, he nodded emphatically, and suddenly smiled, "That's right." Yuanqing, we are brothers. ”
But in Zhang Pan's heart, he made up his mind, his mistakes, his responsibilities, he will definitely bear it.
…………
It wasn't until 10 o'clock in the afternoon that the Houjin camp began to assemble, and there were more than 4 Niulu troops of each banner who began to advance in the direction of Fuzhou City.
Fearing the intimidating power of the red-coated cannons, they were very scattered in formation, squirming like ants, and began to build earthen walls and fortifications a mile outside the city.
How could Li Yuanqing let them get their wish?
The gunners were immediately ordered to open fire, and they were allowed to do so.
In a moment, there was a "boom", and with the sound of violent artillery roaring, a row of seven huge iron ball shells actually fell towards the Houjin camp not far away.
The diameter of the shells of the redcoat cannon is about 12 centimeters, and they are all solid iron balls, and the power may be weakened one and a half miles away, but at the range of 400 paces, the power is fierce.
Even if the Tartars had a cowhide chariot, they could not withstand the huge impact at all, and in a moment, at least a dozen people were hit by the cannonballs, rolling and crawling, wailing and screaming.
How dare the rest of the people build fortifications, they only hate that their father and mother have two legs, and they run backwards for their lives.
Zhang Pan couldn't help but be a little speechless, and muttered: "This, is this the red-clothed cannon?" It's really sharp. ”
Chen Zhong smiled, "This is a gift left by Huang Taiji to us." ”
Zhang Pan's heart was even more bitter, but he forced a smile on his face, "With such a sharp weapon, how can the Tartar come up?" ”
But after a while, he also reacted, and hurriedly said to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, if this is the case, the Tartar can't come up, and we can't make meritorious achievements." ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Zhang, don't worry. Huang Taiji will not give up Fuzhou City, this is his bottom line, and he will definitely not be able to help it. ”
Although Zhang Pan was very anxious at this time, he understood that he must not influence Li Yuanqing's emotions, so he nodded silently and said no more.
On the side, Chen Zhong shook his head slightly.
has reached this point, Zhang Pan has not even had any patience, and I am afraid that it will be ...... in the future
…………
At this time, on the opposite side, Huang Taiji and a group of princes and nobles were two miles away, exploring the direction of Fuzhou City.
Taken by the threat of the red-clothed cannons, their camp had retreated to two and a half miles outside the city, and they no longer dared to be as arrogant as before, so they set up camp under the noses of the Ming army.
Mang Gurtai squeezed the horsewhip in his hand irritably, "Li Yuanqing of the dog day, if we go on like this, it is impossible for us to get close to Fuzhou City." How could he take the city and kill this thief? ”
Dai Shan's face is not good-looking.
After all his hard work, he only caught some small fish and shrimp in Jinzhou and Lushun, not to mention that Huang Taiji would be punished, his status in the heart of the old slave would inevitably be directly affected.
That's really ......
Huang Taiji's expression was not too unusual, he let out a long groan, and suddenly said: "If we go on like this, we will have no chance to conquer Fuzhou at all." This trip to southern Liaoning is not wise. ”
