~~~~~~~
This man is very brave, at this time, there are already several wounds on his body, blood flowing, but instead of retreating, he continues to rush forward, as if killing a god. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The miscellaneous soldiers next to him, also encouraged by him, moved forward step by step, wanting to defeat Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong in one go.
Chen Zhong desperately wanted to rush in front of this man, but was desperately blocked by several of his minions, and for a while, Chen Zhong couldn't get over at all, so he had to clean up the debris in front of him first.
But this man and his minions only cared about Chen Zhong's side, but ignored Li Yuanqing's side.
After a short time, the soldiers in front had already rushed out of the bloody road, and Li Yuanqing, with Shang Lao Liu and Shunzi, had quietly appeared on the left side of this man.
There was no need to say much at all, just a glance contact, and the three of them used their strength almost at the same time to rush towards this man.
This man was busy dealing with Chen Zhong's side at this time, and he didn't expect someone to sneak attack from his side, and he couldn't take it off guard, and was directly slashed in the back by Li Yuanqing.
"Wow~~~." The man howled in pain, staggered, and fell to the ground.
But he has fine armor on his body, although Li Yuanqing gave him a very powerful time, but it was not fatal, Shunzi wanted to take his head with a knife, Li Yuanqing hurriedly stopped him, this is all merit.
Li Yuanqing grabbed the man's money pigtail and kicked him on his left back knee, he couldn't bear the pain, so he had to kneel on one knee and fall to the ground, his head stretched back in pain, at this time, the steel knife in Li Yuanqing's hand was already on his neck, and he said coldly to the surroundings: "Your master is in the hands of Lao Tzu, I don't want him to die, stop Lao Tzu." ā
At this time, seeing that he was restrained, he no longer had the courage to resist, so he threw away his weapons, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.
At this time, Chen ~ Liangce also took a person and came here quickly, seeing that Li Yuanqing restrained this man, he couldn't help laughing, "Tong Fengnian of the dog day, you also have today?" ā
As he spoke, he kicked Tong Fengnian hard, directly in Tong Fengnian's face, kicked Tong Fengnian to the ground, and hurriedly explained to Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong beside him: "Two adults, this guy is called Tong Fengnian, and he is the son of the old thief Tong Yangzhen. This guy is called Tong Songnian, and he is the nephew of the old thief. And the city honored the three of them. These three people took it, and Zhenjiang was decided. ā
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong couldn't help but be overjoyed, Li Yuanqing hurriedly glanced at Chen Zhong, Chen Zhong understood, and hurriedly said: "Lord Chen, tonight, you are the first meritorious." ā
Chen ~ Liangce was overjoyed, "There are two adults to help." ā
Although he achieved a military victory, Li Yuanqing did not dare to slack off, and immediately strictly ordered the soldiers under his command to guard the official hall, several city gates, and several avenues in the city.
The last one is also something that Mao Wenlong deliberately explained several times.
After a short time, You Jinghe also brought people into the city, he had been guarding the west gate tonight, and did not participate in the battle, this was mainly for the sake of foolproof, to prevent accidents.
Seeing that everything was going so well, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Lao Chen, Yuanqing, you have made a great contribution." ā
Chen Zhong smiled, and Li Yuanqing smiled: "Without Brother You's stability, our side would not be so smooth." ā
You Jinghe listened happily and couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, my brother likes to hear this." Ha ha. ā
A few people exchanged a few words of greeting, and re-strengthened their defenses, so that they could rest for a while in the official hall.
Li Yuanqing was also very interested in the famous Houjin Tong family, and came to the place where the Intermediate Court of the Guanting detained them.
At this time, the father and son of the Tong family have been tied up by five flowers, guarded by dozens of soldiers, Tong Yangzhen and Tong Songnian are better, but Tong Fengnian was not lightly injured by Li Yuanqing because of the fierce resistance, and he has passed out.
Tong Yangzhen looked at his son and nephew like this, two lines of old tears, and couldn't help but flow out, he glared at Li Yuanqing viciously, "Dog thief, if you want my head, come and get it." I'm going to frown, I'm not a hero. ā
Although the positions are different, when he was captured, he could still maintain such an aura, Li Yuanqing also had a trace of admiration for him, paused for a moment, and then said: "You and I are both good men of the Han family, why do you want to act for the tiger?" To serve the Jurchen barbarian? ā
"Hmph."
Tong Yangzhen snorted coldly, "Good birds choose trees to perch." The bright and faint is already the sun, the gold is like the sun, I should obey the destiny of heaven. ā
"Destiny?" Li Yuanqing couldn't help sneering, "This may not be, right?" I heard that you and the old slave are in-laws? ā
(Tong Yangzhen is the younger brother of Tong Chunxiu, the old slave main room, the concubine)
Tong Yangzhen looked at Li Yuanqing's cold gaze, and his body suddenly trembled, "The sin is not as good as that of his wife and daughter." You~~, you are a Ming officer and soldier, you won't do that thing that people and gods are angry about, right? Yes~~~~. I won't let you go. ā
Looking at Tong Yangzhen, who was hysterical and about to fall into a state of madness, Li Yuanqing stopped looking at him, turned around and walked back, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly said, "You know better than me what the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty look like." ā
"Ah~~~."
Listening to Tong Yangzhen's crazy roar behind him, Li Yuanqing's face did not have a trace of expression.
The grandfather of the 'Emperor of the Ages' has a blood debt that can only be paid with blood.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Back in the official hall, everyone did not rest, and they were able to lay down the important town of Zhenjiang, and capture the old slave's wife and brother Tong Yangzhen, which was definitely the greatest glory of the Ming Dynasty in the past ten years.
Everyone present is the father of this battle, and when Mao Wenlong enters the city at dawn, everyone's wealth and glory are naturally indispensable.
At this time, Li Yuanqing's excitement had passed, and he sat on a soft couch at random and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The capture of Zhenjiang will be a strong signal, not only to plant a nail in the heart of Houjin, but also to make the surrounding military forts, including Chao ~ Xian at both ends of the first rat, think carefully about the situation.
Chen Zhong also passed the excitement, and whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, although Zhenjiang has been taken, the more than 1,000 new forces are still there. When the general enters the city, I want to ask the general for battle and encircle and suppress the two dog thieves in Shuangshan. ā
Li Yuanqing nodded, he had already taken Zhenjiang, the Zhenjiang Department and the Mian Yizhen Department of Shuangshan, even if they wanted to counterattack, it would be difficult, but this was a nail, if it was not removed, it would be like a fish in the throat, threatening the safety of Zhenjiang at all times. It is necessary to strike while the iron is hot and exterminate these two parts, so that within this radius of thousands of miles, the absolute initiative of one's own side can be determined.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, the little brother will be with you."
Chen Zhong was overjoyed, "Yuanqing, I knew that I was not wrong about you." ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
As soon as the sky was bright, Mao Wenlong led the main force into the city.
For him, winning Zhenjiang and achieving the first victory in the true sense of the word after the battle between Daming and Jin is definitely the most shining point in his life.
"Humble rank to welcome the general into the city."
At the gate of the city, Chen Zhong, You Jinghe, Chen ~ Liangce, and Li Yuanqing knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted Mao Wenlong.
The soldiers behind him also fell to their knees.
Mao Wenlong's face showed a smile that couldn't be concealed, "After a hard night's battle, you have worked hard." ā
Several people were overjoyed, and Chen Zhong said, "General, please enter the city." ā
"Hmm." Mao Wenlong nodded, rode on a black horse, and slowly walked into the city gate.
When he came to the official hall, Chen Zhong reported to Mao Wenlong about the fierce battle last night, and the merits of each person were clear, Mao Wenlong sent people to record them one by one, and gently appeased Chen ~ good policy.
And all the people rejoiced.
After the military affairs were decided, the gentry of Zhenjiang also came to visit Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong received him with a smile and repeatedly asked if there was any disturbance to the people last night.
After getting a positive answer, Mao Wenlong relaxed.
The gentry brought cattle, horses, pigs, sheep and many livestock to reward the army, and Mao Wenlong did not hesitate, immediately killing pigs and sheep to reward the three armies, and reiterated to these gentry representatives that the team would never disturb the people and guarantee all their rights and interests.
Suddenly, Zhenjiang City was boiling, and nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians walked out of their homes and came to the front of the official hall to welcome Mao Wenlong into the city, and the soldiers and civilians celebrated together.
After finishing all this, it was almost late at night, Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing also came to the official hall after they were full of wine and food, and Chen Zhong mentioned to Mao Wenlong the suggestion of encircling and suppressing Mi Yizhen and the Zhenjiang Ministry.
Mao Wenlong thought about it for a long time, and then nodded, "I also think about this matter, you two go, and I can rest assured." However, after all, our troops are too small, so we can wait until noon tomorrow to gather the strong men and then set off again. ā
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them.
At this time, Li Yuanqing euphemistically proposed to Mao Wenlong that he wanted the daughter of the Tong family.
Mao Wenlong glanced at Li Yuanqing and didn't speak for a long time.
Chen Zhong was also a little stunned, but he didn't expect Li Yuanqing to make this request, and hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, these people are all going to be sent to the imperial court." ā
Li Yuanqing didn't say much, just looked at Mao Wenlong quietly.
After a while, Mao Wenlong suddenly smiled, "Yuanqing, you are rarely so persistent. ā
Li Yuanqing also smiled, "General, the Tartars plundered my land and insulted my sisters, and the brothers also have grievances in their hearts." ā
Mao Wenlong sighed, "This matter, so be it." Be secretive. ā
Li Yuanqing was overjoyed, "General Xie." ā
Along the way, Li Yuanqing has a lot of flashes, what's the matter, he has to make some mistakes, right? Otherwise, how can Mao Wenlong be at ease?
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Early the next morning, with the aftermath of the great victory, Mao Wenlong began to recruit troops.
Although Zhenjiang was occupied by Jiannu for a few days, but it was not popular with the people, at this time Mao Wenlong led the royal division to recover, and the morale was like a rainbow, and the recruitment action was extraordinarily smooth.
Chen Zhong was originally the general manager of Qian, and he directly raised the total establishment of thousands, and Li Yuanqing also raised the total establishment, even if Li Yuanqing was still a deputy hundred households at this time.
With the great merit of Zhenjiang City, everyone knows that Li Yuanqing's ascension is only in an instant.
In the evening, Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing gathered their soldiers and horses, and after asking Mao Wenlong, they set off from the east gate, went down the river, and slaughtered in the direction of the south with great momentum.
At this time, although Mao Wenlong's headquarters had occupied many islands along the coast, the Houjin army still controlled several fortresses on the coast, and Shuangshan was one of the cores.
Mao Wenlong also made up his mind, this time the troops were not only Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, but Zhang Pan also went south from the west road, and the two-pronged approach was to pull out this nail in the shortest possible time.
After laying down Zhenjiang City, Zhang Pan's strength has also skyrocketed, and he has also raised thousands of total establishments, while Mao Chenglu, You Jinghe, Wang Fu, and Chen Jisheng, who did not come in time, their dividends will be less later.
After all, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Zhang Pan must be recruited to the front if they want to fight one after another at the first time.
The team advanced by land and water, stretching for several miles, and walked on the road to the south with momentum.
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the dense soldiers, they were also full of spirit, and their looks couldn't be concealed at all.
When they set out from Quang Ninh, there were less than 200 men, but at this time, the number of the whole army was already several thousand, and it was still increasing.
The two have followed Mao Wenlong from the beginning, almost from scratch, and have experienced everything, and this indescribable pride is simply indescribable.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but think of Taizu's famous sentence through the ages, "A spark can start a prairie fire." ā
