In Yangguan Fort, Tie Niu took the Chinese army and the battalion commanders to inspect the battlefield, the Panshi Brigade suddenly landed in Nanxinkou, the whole team marched to Yangguan Fort after the whole team, and the air did not have time to take a breath and violently attacked the terrified Tatar garrison in the fort, the ancient city of Yangguan Fort has been abandoned for many years since the Sui Dynasty, the current Yangguan Fort is a small tun fort in the city, the Tartar slaves only stationed here more than 300 armor soldiers, in the Panshi Brigade three battalions of superior strength besieged in less than half an hour before changing hands, this battle killed two hundred and fifty-one Tarsan soldiers, More than 200 people of the Han army banner and auxiliary soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and they turned against the water, except for more than 30 old, weak, sick and disabled people, the rest of the captives were ordered to be killed by Tie Niu, and Tie Niu heard Yang Bo mention his disgust for these Han army flags many times, so he did not accept the persuasion of everyone and killed them all......

Two miles outside Yangguan Fort, there are dozens of Tartar slave sentry watching the battlefield from afar, the Panshi Brigade Sentinel is approaching, they scatter in a hurry, and slowly gather after a while, Tie Niu is too lazy to pay attention to them, and the order is to clean up the battlefield, and the logistics of the Chinese army make a fire to cook and reward the soldiers.

The equipment of the Panshi Brigade is uneven, most of them are the old-fashioned arquebuses that Yang Bo asked for back from Yan Kun's hands, the quality of these muskets made by the Ming craftsman battalion is extremely poor, often there is no one among the dozens, Yang Bo extorted thousands of arquebuses from the imperial court, and it is only enough to equip two companies, and the rest of the unqualified ones are recovered by the Gunners Division.

The most elite youth model battalion and the second battalion of the Panshi Brigade were transferred, leaving the third battalion with better equipment, although it was only equipped with spears and firearms, but at least the chain mail was completely redressed by the battalion, while the mixed battalion and the mountain infantry battalion were more miserable, all with leather armor and sharp knives. Some of them didn't even have their shields, and the strength of Yang Boxinyou's Rock Brigade was not enough to protect themselves under the siege of the Tatar cavalry, so more than a dozen six-pounder guns were deployed. Tie Niu also understood that his brother was desperate this time, and the main offensive force still had to be completed by the Iron Fist Brigade, but he was still hesitant about whether to camp twenty miles outside Fuzhou City.

The hill infantry in the fort was cleaning up the battlefield, collecting the Tarnu banners from the ground, stripping off their armor, and collecting the weapons scattered on the ground, piling up the headless corpses of the Tartars on top of each other. Preparing to set it on fire, the military clerks were registered in a large pile of pale heads with their mouths covered, and most of their documents were dolls from private schools in the army. It was the first time I had seen such a hellish sight, and the heads of these Zhenyi would be brought back to the Dongjiang tribes by the water operation, so that they could report to the imperial court in exchange for seconded warships, and many soldiers of the mountain infantry battalion raised their swords and fell. Hack to death the wounded Tarslavs who were still moaning. The soldiers of the mixed battalion brought the surrendered soldiers of the Han army flag to the outside of the tun and killed them all in front of the Tatar sentry in the distance.

Many Dengzhou soldiers and Kong Youde's Han army banner enmity is as deep as the sea, they cut down the prisoners of the Han army banner and still do not understand the hatred, but also cut their corpses into pieces, the instructor conformed to the will of the people, set up an altar in the fort, let these Dengzhou soldiers to offer the flesh and blood of the Han army banner soldiers. Sacrifices are made for relatives who were eaten or died in Dengzhou.

When Xiong Zili, the commander of the mixed battalion, heard the news, he arrived. There was a cry in the entire altar, and the Dengzhou soldiers crowded the altar, and there were pools of blood and meat scraps everywhere, thinking of the loss of military merits, which made Xiong Zili heartbroken.

In the end, more than 200 pairs of armor, more than 80 cattle and sheep, 60 horses, and countless other bows and crossbows were captured in this battle, and the three battalions lost more than 150 soldiers and more than 50 wounded, which was almost a one-to-one exchange rate with the Tartars, but considering that the Rock Brigade experienced the war for the first time, this loss was acceptable even to adults.

The commanders of the battalions were all smiling, arguing over the captured chain mail, Tie Niu stood under the banner of the Chinese army, looked at the direction of Fuzhou and muttered: "This time, our Lushun army is gathered, and we will definitely kill the Tartar slaves in Fuzhou cleanly!" Blood revenge for the Han people in Fuzhou who were killed by the slave chieftain that year! ”

The surrounding Xiong Zili, Nie Cailin, Qiu Guang and others also echoed: "Our Panshi Brigade is victorious today, and tomorrow we will join forces with the Iron Fist Brigade to besiege Fuzhou, and it will not be long before the Tartar slaves jump off the beam." ”

Tie Niu frowned slightly, although he had a stubborn personality, he didn't necessarily say how stupid he was, he heard from the words of the various commanders that they were unwilling to camp in the Fuzhou wilderness, but thinking of Yang Bo's general order, he was a little hesitant in his heart.

Fortunately, the sentry cavalry brought back Yang Bo's order in time, and ordered the Panshi Brigade to be stationed in Yangguan Fort, and the division would be under Fuzhou City early tomorrow morning.

………………

On the north bank of the Fuzhou River, it took the Iron Fist Brigade three hours to completely cross the river, and just when He Jiu was about to order people to build a night defensive position and prepare to continue the march tomorrow, Yang Bo suddenly ordered to speed up the pace, and he must rush to Fuzhou City early tomorrow morning.

Zhao Long's cavalry battalion rested for three hours, and the soldiers in the whole battalion were energetic, and there was no resistance to this order, but the logistics of the other battalions were full of lamentations, and they finally prepared the equipment for camping, but they didn't expect to be doing useless work, but the military order was like a mountain, and they didn't dare to mutter, just vent their anger on irrelevant people.

Only the commanders of each battalion knew that Yang Bo was a little surprised when he received more than 200 casualties from the Panshi Brigade, and temporarily changed the plan of the Panshi Brigade to advance layer by layer and hold back the main force of the Tarnus, and changed it to the Iron Fist Brigade to take the lead and besiege Fuzhou first.

Zhao Long led more than 800 cavalry battalions, plus two cavalry companies of the rescue battalion, special forces companies, and mounted infantry, a total of 2,500 people, and some sentry cavalry of each battalion also followed them.

In order to maintain horsepower, the cavalry battalion walked very slowly, ten miles of rest, and when the sky was bright, it was less than fifty miles away from Fuzhou, Zhao Long ordered the sentry to gallop to Yangguan Fort, and the Panshi Brigade got in touch, and the cavalry battalion put on a battle formation, and began to encircle and drive the Tatar cavalry who rushed to hear the news, the sky was still a little dark, the two sides chased each other beside the official road, although the killing shouts shook the sky, in fact, there were not too many casualties on both sides.

The cavalry battalion was superior in numbers, and soon forced the Tarnu sentry to retreat again and again, but they were not reconciled, and still surrounded them like flies and refused to disperse, so they stopped and stopped. After walking nearly ten miles, the sky began to brighten and the sun rose. The soldiers of the special forces company aimed at the Tatar sentry horses with straight-bore flintlock pistols more than 100 paces away, and after a burst of gunsmoke, those who originally thought that the horsemen were superb and cruising outside the range of the Ming army suffered a big loss, and almost instantly broke more than 30 scout veterans, they were frightened by the new weapons of the Ming army, and they turned their horses and replied to the state report in a panic.

See the brothers in the rescue camp shine. The Ming army sentry riders, who were originally tossed a little disgraced, suddenly felt relieved, and they received an order to divide into several teams and search for the Fuzhou area. Zhao Long and Wang Tiehammer were full of cautious discussions, since yesterday noon, the whereabouts of the Iron Fist Brigade have been exposed, and the Tartars only sent some sentry cavalry to harass them, and there was no abnormal behavior. The calm made them a little suspicious. The two discussed for a long time and did not discuss why they came, so they had to send sentry cavalry to constantly report the march location of the Panshi Brigade on the one hand, and on the other hand carefully searched towards Fuzhou, the ambush of the Sin Army Camp was a shame for the Thunder Division, and they did not want to repeat the mistake again.

At that time, the cautious cavalry battalion and mounted infantry finally walked ten miles below the city of Fuzhou, and according to the report of the sentry cavalry, the head of the city was heavily guarded. Although the gallant slaves did not seem to go out of the city to snipe them, they seemed to have long been prepared to hold Fuzhou. There were many swords and guns at the head of the city, and there were countless thin figures running back and forth at the head of the city, preparing the city defense equipment, hearing this news, Zhao Long and the others were relieved, since the Tartar slaves did not dare to go out of the city, they had time to build a position outside the city.

A mile ahead again there was the sound of fire and killing shouts, apparently the sentinels of the front army and the Tarnu scouts exchanged fire again, after a while, someone came to report, saying that the Tarnu sentry had bypassed the city of Fuzhou and entered the city through the north gate, and the cavalry did not dare to chase them, so they let them go.

Zhao Long and Wang Tiehammer looked at the majestic figure of Fuzhou City, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, the Thunder Division has never been good at attacking cities, this time I don't know how many soldiers to fill in to conquer Fuzhou, these are the most elite soldiers of the Thunder Division?

The army stopped five miles outside the city and stopped marching, they built two defensive positions, the purpose is to drag the main force of the Tatars out of the city to snipe, as long as the Tarsus dare to go out of the city, the left and right armies that received the news will rush to the main force of the Tatars outside the city, but this plan obviously failed, the Lushun guerrilla battalion and the Fuzhou Zhengbai Banner fought many times, each side understood the strength of the other, saw the cavalry battalion swaggering to Fuzhou City, the defenders in the city really did not dare to hold up, just firmly held the city.

Before the hour, the sentry cavalry flew to report that the Panshi Brigade had arrived less than ten miles away from Fuzhou, hearing the news, the cavalry battalion thundered with joy, although the Panshi Brigade was poorly equipped, but the weekday training was not much lighter than the Iron Fist Brigade, the same training course, if it was not completed, even the commander would be punished, and now the weekday harsh training had an effect, with the Panshi Brigade on the left flank, their hearts were relaxed, and the other Iron Fist Brigade was also making rapid progress, according to the report of the Sentinel Cavalry, it would be able to catch up with them in about three hours.

In Fuzhou City, a controversy has just ended, Azig who was cut to the fourth class of solid mountain shells looked at the hall full of sorrowful Jia Lazhangjing, but also hesitant, yesterday when he received an emergency from Yangguanbao, Azig refused to listen to the call of the Jialazhangjing for rescue, but sent a sentry to the Fuzhou River to explore the outpost, sure enough, a large number of Ming troops can no longer hide their traces, they have come out, it is their old opponent, Lushun guerrilla battalion!

Chahar's Zhangjing Tarim Han's request to lead troops to rescue Yangguan Fort was rejected, and his proposal to snipe the Ming army in the vicinity of the Fuzhou River was also vetoed.

When did the iron hooves of the Eight Banners that crisscross Liaodong fall to the point of defending the city? Isn't this the only way for the cowardly Ming army to shrink back like this?

Many Jialazhangjing are full of resentment, in their opinion, taking advantage of the Ming army's half-crossing attack, can definitely catch the Ming army by surprise, but since Azig fought with the guerrilla battalion in Jinzhou, it seems that he has lost all his sharpness, and he no longer has the momentum of the year.

The city is full of white flag generals, they silently looked at a neat army winding from the west, south, the cavalry of the Ming Kingdom also began to approach Fuzhou slowly, not long after, the Ming army under the city suddenly let out a landslide tsunami-like cheers, when they were frightened, a huge flag was erected high, on which a few golden characters:

"Zhenguo General Yang" (to be continued......)
