Chapter 328: The Coalition Forces Arrive!
~~~~~~
The time has come to the beginning of December of the third year of the Apocalypse. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the past ten days, Li Yuanqing and his Changsheng Battalion have successively conquered the three big forts of Youtiwei, Ge Linwei, and Hushi Gateguard, as well as seven or eight small forts and villages, and temporarily stationed in Hushi Gateguard.
At this time, the various materials in the Hushi Gate Guard had been piled up, and all kinds of meat, vegetables, fruits, and grains had exceeded 300,000 catties, enough for Li Yuanqing and his sons to eat for several months.
There are also a lot of fur and clothing of all kinds.
Now, basically every son in the Immortal Camp has an animal skin vest to protect him, and as for all kinds of leather hats, leather boots, and the like, there are even more.
Especially the fur hats, two per person, there is still a surplus.
In terms of war horses, it has exceeded 1,500.
In terms of hunting dogs and falcons, they are also in groups, and the scale of mules and horses has reached more than 600.
Coupled with all kinds of goods, Li Yuanqing estimated that this time he was close to the hinterland of the Heilongjiang Valley, and he had at least more than 500,000 taels of silver in his assets.
It's a pity that due to the severe cold weather and poor transportation capacity, Li Yuanqing couldn't bring the silver, and the various departments seized it, except for the necessary materials, only gold.
However, although it was a sweep, Li Yuanqing was not wiped out, at least, like these Datun forts and guards, Li Yuanqing did not burn them down, but left them behind.
These guards and forts were built by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty with blood and sweat.
At this time, although in the hands of these Tartar heads, the orbs are covered with dust, but most of them are located by the river, as long as Li Yuanqing can ensure the strength of the fleet, the entire Heilongjiang River is like his back garden, when there is a shortage of silver, you can come back at any time.
After all, the bitter cold of the Northland, these tun forts have basically not suffered much damage, and they can be used with a little repair.
These nobles and leaders who have not been affected by Li Yuanqing will definitely not let go of these fats.
Just as Yang Guang said the old saying, 'The people are like grass mustard, cut and regenerate!' ’
What makes Li Yuanqing even happier is that under Liu Qiao's training, Shu Murong has become a supple little sheep and has become Li Yuanqing's most qualified female ~ slave.
The twin plants also kept Li Yuanqing's body in the best condition.
However, the news is not all good news.
On the second day of the lunar month, Li Yuanqing had just gotten up, and news came from Shu Luohuan's side.
The reinforcements from the side of the Nuer Gandusi in the east have gathered more than 3,000 people and are approaching Youtiwei.
In the upper reaches of the river basin to the west, more than 3,000 troops have been gathered.
According to Shu Luohuan's intelligence, the Houjin envoy of Shenyang City has arrived on the Western Front for reinforcements, and it is Burhanggu, the royal family of the Yehe Division.
"Master, this Burhangu is the younger brother of Buyangu, the former leader of the Yehe tribe, although this person does not have much ability, but in this area of the upper reaches of the river, the nobles and leaders are mostly the remnants of the Yehe tribe, if he becomes powerful, we must not be careless!"
In the official hall of the Hushi Gate, Shu Luohuan was carefully reporting to Li Yuanqing the movements of the two coalition forces.
After these years of development, under Shu Luohuan's command, five or six hundred minions have gathered, and almost half of them are real slaves and armor-clad people.
For these nomads, under Li Yuanqing's absolute force, many of them wisely chose to surrender.
Because of the threat of a two-sided alliance, and the fact that Li Yuanqing's might had almost been shown before, he no longer did things too far, but instead recruited some reliable real slaves and armorers to join him as spies and cannon fodder.
In fact, although the old slave unified most of the northern land, the blood inheritance of the nomads, they are not too convinced by the old slave and the Houjin, and many people, in their bones, still regard the Ming Dynasty as orthodox.
In particular, Li Yuanqing's royal division was invincible and invincible, and many small tribes and tribes chose to surrender to Li Yuanqing.
For these people, Li Yuanqing naturally would not directly refuse, and rewarded them with a little silver, so he asked them to bring the warriors of the tribe and bring food to gather outside the Hushi Gate guards, ready to deal with the coalition forces on both sides.
It just so happened that Li Yuanqing couldn't carry this silver, and if he gave it to them, it was equivalent to spending money to buy 'meat shields' and cannon fodder, which could be regarded as maximizing the use of resources.
Shu Luohuan said as he pointed out the location and situation of the two coalition forces on the map for Li Yuanqing in detail.
Li Yuanqing nodded lightly.
After entering the wax moon, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it can be said that the water is dripping into ice.
The snowflakes floated to the ground, no longer as soft as before, but seemed to solidify directly, combining with the cold ice on the ground and freezing into a ball.
It is no exaggeration to say that if a person's feet are in a snowdrift, once they are slow, they are likely to freeze their feet and legs in the snow.
Although the children of the Changsheng Camp took good measures to keep warm, the weather became colder and colder, and all kinds of frostbite and chilblains began to appear on the children.
Fortunately, Li Yuanqing had prepared a lot of medicines beforehand, and the newly converted tribes brought a large amount of badger oil, and the situation did not deteriorate sharply.
Badgers are small mammals, and their oils, after being refined, have an excellent effect on burns, frostbite, scalds, etc.
In later generations, this was a well-known effective method, and at this time, Li Yuanqing naturally accepted all the orders.
However, after entering the wax moon, heavy snow fell one after another, sprinkled one after another, and the whole world was white.
Although most of the sons and daughters are Liao people, most of them are still difficult to adapt to this climate, and the two-sided coalition army is coming, Li Yuanqing did not dare to be rash anymore, so he took the Hushi Gate guard as the center, temporarily rested, and waited for the arrival of the two-sided coalition army.
At this time, in such a situation, the coalition forces are all composed of various tribes and small tribes, even if there is a Houjin envoy Burhanggu under the command, Li Yuanqing is not too afraid.
What Li Yuanqing is most worried about is the news of the main force of Houjin.
As Duan Xiliang and Kong Youde said, instead of forcing them to stare around, but not daring to step forward, it is better to gather them together, find a favorable terrain, and catch them all.
"Brother Luo Huan, according to your prediction, how long will it take for the coalition forces from the east and west to arrive?"
Li Yuanqing turned his head to look at Shu Luohuan.
Shu Luo hurriedly said: "Back to the master, according to the accurate information of the slave maid, the coalition army on the side of the slave and the slave in the east has arrived at Youtiewei. If they are in a hurry, they should be able to approach our Kushi guards within two days. On the western front, Burhangu had already arrived at Sa'er Huwei, and their sentry had already appeared more than ten miles west of our Kushi guard. The slave and maid estimated that it should not take more than 3 days for them to come over. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded, "Brother Luo Huan, you have to pay close attention to the position of the two coalition forces. Especially the movements of Burhangu. As long as these two coalition forces rush over, I will definitely give you a big surprise! ”
Of course, Shu Luohuan understood what Li Yuanqing meant, as long as the army could defeat these two coalition forces, he would have a large number of slaves in the account, and he was busy and said: "Master, please rest assured, the slaves and maids will definitely find out everything properly!" ”
Watching Shu Luo leave happily, Li Yuanqing did not relax much.
Taizu once said, 'Strategically you must despise your opponent, but tactically you must attach importance to your opponent!' ’
The East-West Coalition Army, with a strength of more than 6,000 people, is comparable to Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Battalion and minions combined, and Li Yuanqing does not dare to be too lazy.
In particular, the weather in the Northland is too bad, and these natives have already adapted to such a climate.
Although Li Yuanqing had enough soldiers and food at this time, just like Napoleon personally conquered Russia and attacked Big Brother with a mustache, Li Yuanqing would never dare to have the slightest neglect before the raw rice was cooked and ripe.
Rubbing his temples tiredly, Li Yuanqing's face turned pale, "Someone, pass on my military order, and convene the whole army to discuss the affairs of the officers above the general level!" ”
"Yes!" Niu Gensheng hurriedly passed on the order quickly.
…………
Three days have passed in a hurry, and it has reached the fifth day of the lunar month in a blink of an eye.
In the past three days, Li Yuanqing also left Wenrou Township and went all out to reorganize and fight.
The Tartar battalions have all been quarantined, and the soldiers will never have a chance to relax until the end of the war.
At this time, Li Yuanqing also realized the superiority of the Chinese national soldiers!
Thousands of years of historical and cultural influence, coupled with Li Yuanqing's indoctrination of strict military orders, these sons and daughters of the Changsheng Camp may be even more obedient to his military orders than the mustachioed German army back then.
The mustache thought that he was in full swing, airplanes, artillery, extremely strong, and the soldiers under his command were all highly motivated, and it would not be too difficult to win the cumbersome Su ~ Lian.
It's a pity that the cold winter of Stalingrad gave him a slap in the face, and the military defeat in the Soviet Union ~ Union directly led to the collapse of the German army on the whole front.
At this time, although Li Yuanqing was not as superior as the mustache, the integrity of the sons and daughters under his command and the sufficiency of grain and grass materials made Li Yuanqing have enough confidence to deal with the entrapment of reinforcements from both sides.
On the head of the east gate of the stone gatekeeper, the cold wind was cold and the snowflakes were flying.
Two or three miles away, the complex flags of the coalition forces of various ministries have clearly appeared in the field of vision in the face of the cold wind.
Although the western coalition army has not yet arrived, the forward sentinels have been wandering two or three miles below the city, and the time for their arrival should not be far away.
Li Yuanqing, wearing a tiger skin vest and a tiger skin hat, stood at the head of the East Gate City surrounded by Shu Luohuan and dozens of generals of the Changsheng Battalion, observing the situation of the allied army of Nuer Gandu Division in the east.
At this time, Shu Luohuan and his minions, as well as the forces of many small tribes attached to the surrounding area, had firmly shrunk under the city.
And the camps of the thousands of troops in Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Battalion were also stationed outside the city wall, stretching and standing.
It's not that Li Yuanqing doesn't want to take advantage of the defense of the city head of the Hushi Gate Guard, but the main reason is that this fortress is too small.
Moreover, the weather is really cold, and the terrain is complicated, if the city is defended, even if the Changsheng battalion defeats the attack of the Tartar coalition army, it will be difficult to expand the victory.
And once they dragged the guards in the Hushi Gate, and waited for the main force of Houjin to arrive, then ~~~~, the consequences would be dangerous.
"Dog Tartar, it's such an inkblot! I've been waiting for them for a long time! At the head of the city, looking at the various flags that were approaching in the distance, Duan Xiliang couldn't help but take a spit.
Kong Youde smiled hehehe, "Old Duan, it's better to come than not to come!" Here we go again! ”
On the side, Shunzi said: "I'm afraid that these dog Tartars won't attack the city!" It's so cold and the ground is so slippery, even if it's so close, it's hard for us to rush up. ”
Li Sansheng nodded and said, "What Master Shun said is right. These Tartars were a rabble, gathered improvisedly. We are not afraid that they will rush to the city, but we are afraid that they will not rush! We still have to think of a way to lure them over. ”
Xu Heizi asked Shunzi: "Shunzi, you bird guns, are you good birds?" ”
Shunzi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Master Xu, don't worry." Our sons are prepared. When the time comes, you just have to watch the performance of the children! ”
Xu Heizi smiled, "That's good." ”
Xu Heizi said, looking at Li Yuanqing, "General, I think Tartar seems to be camping two and a half miles away. If we let Shu Luohuan and them rush first, we can't let these dog tartars be so brisk. ”
Li Yuanqing glanced at the sky, and suddenly smiled faintly: "It's only morning at this time, these dog tartars have just been on the road all night, and they shouldn't have eaten yet." Don't be in a hurry, let them eat and drink to their heart's content, so as not to scare them away! ”
