The fleet finally returned, Ren Siqi got the news and was in good spirits, the delay in Shandong was too long, and he was now desperate to return to Daishan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to relocate more people, Ren Siqi sent people to collect a large number of ships on the coast of Jiaozhou Bay these days, among which there are more than 30 large ships that can go to sea, but most of them are flat-bottomed sand boats for transportation, and few can be used as warships.

Just when Ren Siqi was busy organizing the people to go to the beach to get on the boat, suddenly a bad news came.

A full army set out from Jinan, defeated Li Shiyuan in Qingzhou, and was coming to Jiaozhou.

According to him, there were only more than 1,000 Manchurian soldiers, and Li Shiyuan's 3,000-strong army and Manchu soldiers fought against each other in the field, and they only lasted less than an hour before they were defeated by Manchurian soldiers.

Li Shiyuan had no choice but to retreat to Qingzhou, and at the same time sent people to Jiaozhou to ask for help from the Daishan army.

Rescue Li Shiyuan, Ren Siqi couldn't help but smile bitterly, not to mention whether everyone has that friendship, that is, if you really go to the rescue, with the strength of the Daishan Army, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the elite full army.

Did this Li Shiyuan get kicked in the brain by a donkey, and he didn't defend the city, so he had to fight with the Manchurian army?

However, after asking the passer, Ren Siqi knew that he had misunderstood Li Shiyuan. It turned out that after Li Shiyuan occupied Qingzhou, he was unwilling to be lonely, attacked the city and plundered the land, and occupied most of the prefectures and counties in Qingzhou in a short time. However, there was one county that was unwilling to surrender to Li Shiyuan, and that was Boxing County, located north of Qingzhou.

Boxing County is relatively close to Jinan, and the county commander has already asked Fang Dayou in Jinan for help, but he refuses to surrender.

Li Shiyuan was angry and led 3,000 soldiers to attack Boxing, who knew that Boxing had not yet been defeated, and suddenly heard the news that the soldiers were coming. Li Shiyuan naturally knew the strength of the Manchu soldiers, and hurriedly led the soldiers to retreat to Qingzhou. Who knew that he was caught up by the full army on the way, the two sides fought, Li Shiyuan was defeated, 3,000 soldiers were killed and wounded more than 1,000, and he retreated to Qingzhou with hundreds of people.

Afraid that Qingzhou would not be able to hold it, he rushed to the hospital in a hurry, so he urgently sent someone to Ren Siqi for help.

After asking about the situation, Ren Siqi shook his head and asked people to take the people down to rest, and as for the matter of sending troops, it was said that it should be considered.

As for Li Shiyuan, Ren Siqi could only apologize in his heart.

Since the Manchu soldiers defeated Li Shiyuan, they may soon come to Jiaozhou, Ren Siqi hurriedly sent a sentry to investigate the movements of the Manchu soldiers, and hurriedly ordered, all the people immediately packed up, went to the Jiaolai River, and took a boat to Jiaozhou Bay.

However, with nearly 20,000 people outside Jiaozhou, it is not so easy to move all of them at once. In order not to cause panic, Ren Siqi ordered to block the news of the arrival of the Manchurian army.

The Daishan Army has a very perfect organization for the common people, and has always organized according to the establishment of the army, and the families of soldiers with the same small banner are organized into a first class, and those who are more prestigious are appointed as the first commander, and the families of soldiers with a general banner are organized into a li, and those who are highly respected are appointed as lizheng. Volunteers were recruited from among the scholars who were recruited to manage the migration of these people.

Fortunately, the people themselves did not carry too many belongings, and they all lived in temporary shantytowns, so there was nothing to pack. With Ren Siqi's order, the people of each household packed up their things and headed towards the Jiaolai River in the order of arrangement, where to take a boat into Jiaozhou Bay, and then take a sea boat to Daishan.

The people are no better than the army, and they can just leave. There are too many old and weak women and children among the people, and the walking speed is extremely slow. Moreover, the sea ships were afraid of running aground and could not enter the Jiaolai River, so they could use the existing ships to divide at least two or three batches to transport all the people to the sea boats.

Ren Siqi nervously arranged the migration of the people, and at the same time sent a large number of sentinels to find out the movements of the full army.

However, he sent a lot of sentinels, dozens of them, but very few returned to report the news, which made Ren Siqi's heart hang all of a sudden.

There must have been an accident! Otherwise, according to the usual practice, there will be sentry back every day to report safety.

A chill suddenly rose from his back, and Ren Siqi shivered, could it be that the full army had arrived near Jiaozhou? All the sentinels sent out were robbed and killed by the Manchurians?

Standing at the head of Jiaozhou City, the last group of thousands of people outside the city are walking out of the shantytowns in an organized manner, helping the old and the young to take large bags and small bags and go east.

If the Manchu soldiers suddenly appear and chase and kill, I'm afraid that at least half of the people will die at the hands of the Manchurians!

"Someone, order the whole army to assemble under the southern city!" Ren Siqi ordered loudly.

The war drums at the head of the city sounded, and the soldiers of the Daishan Army in the city quickly rushed from everywhere and gathered under the southern city.

When Ren Siqi set out from Daishan, he brought half of the Daishan infantry and Huang Fengwu's 1,000 Zhoushan troops, but when the new army was organized, more than 200 veterans were sent to the new army as officers. At present, there are only about 700 infantry in the Daishan Army, plus 1,000 Zhoushan Army, and there are 1,700 veterans who can fight. According to the report of the envoy sent by Li Shiyuan, there were more than 1,000 soldiers. With a similar number, Ren Siqi had no bottom in his heart against the full army, but looking at the people outside the city who had not yet migrated, Ren Siqi knew that he had no choice.

"What's wrong?" Huang Fengwu, who was training the army, hurriedly went to the city and asked Ren Siqi.

"The sentinels sent have not returned for a long time, and I suspect that the full army has arrived!" Ren Siqi said with a solemn face.

"We have to hurry out of the city and line up to protect the people outside the city!" Huang Fengwu exclaimed.

Ren Siqi nodded: "I will lead 1,700 veterans out of the city to line up, Feng Wu, you will take the newly recruited more than 3,000 soldiers to defend the city!" ”

The newly recruited soldiers have just completed the training in the queue, and they do not have much combat effectiveness at all, and it is also a burden to take them out.

"No, I'll lead the team out of the city, and you stay and defend the city!" Huang Fengwu said categorically.

"Obedient, we're facing a full army! It was not a pirate, how many imperial armies were defeated in their hands, and even Li Chuang, who captured the capital division, was defeated by them, and it was too dangerous to go out of the city. Stay in the city. Ren Siqi persuaded softly.

Feeling the concern in Ren Siqi's words, Huang Fengwu's heart was warm, but her words were even more firm.

"What do you know about war? It's better for me to lead the troops out of the city. Besides, you are the master of an army, and you can't take risks lightly. It's better to stay in the city and coordinate the overall situation. ”

I don't know how to fight? Grandma's two years I haven't seen too many battles! Ren Siqi wanted to refute it, but when he thought about it, now was not the time to argue.

Huang Fengwu was born in a military family, has been familiar with military books since childhood, and has excellent martial arts, so he should be more suitable for leading soldiers than himself. But fighting with the Manchurian soldiers is too dangerous, how can he let a woman be in danger?

The war drums of the army had stopped, and the soldiers under the city had also been assembled, and Ren Siqi knew that he could not hesitate any longer.

"Feng Wu, be careful!" Ren Siqi looked deeply into Huang Fengwu's eyes. (To be continued.) )
