Zhao Lie rested in Laiyang for three days, and the Chinese New Year's Eve was also spent in Laiyang, and Zhao Lie sent people to buy in Laiyang, made a sumptuous dinner, let his soldiers have a good year, a large bowl of wine and meat was served, and informed his military households, each person was rewarded with five taels of silver, and it was immediately distributed when he returned to Chishan, and his subordinates immediately thundered with joy and thanks.

There were no casualties in this battle, only two seriously wounded, and now they are also greatly improved, and with such a reward, the soldiers are all in their hearts.

Originally, the military households were divided into acres of land in Zuo Qianhu, and they have lived a good life in the past two years, so they should also share their share of the life of Lord Zhao, and every family is enthusiastic, and at this moment, the adults are even more rewarding, and their gratitude to Zhao Lie is beyond words.

At the beginning of the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Lie got a report in Laiyang, and Zhang Keda, the commander of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of Denglai Town, led 2,000 Denglai soldiers, and more than 8,000 soldiers from Dengzhou Wei, Laizhou Wei, and Weihaiwei were only 20 miles away from the city.

Zhao Lie, Lin Dongze, Zhu Ying, Wang Xiancheng, Zhang Tao and others greeted them in three miles outside the city with more than 100 guards, this time Lin Dongze had no sense of humiliation, Zhang Keda was the commander of Denglai, the general soldier of Denglai, and the second rank of the imperial court, Lin Dongze could only kneel to greet him.

The vanguard is a thousand Laizhou battalion cavalry, there is a general leader, Zhao Lie saw that nearly half of the war horses were quite thin, fortunately, most of their masters were wearing leather armor, there were no heavy armored cavalry, otherwise these war horses would have already knelt.

The Laizhou cavalry dismounted outside the city and waited, after all, the next step was to be arranged by General Zhang.

Next is Dengzhou Wei, Weihaiwei, Laizhou Wei and other guards, these soldiers are also ragged, fortunately, most of them are of moderate age. Finally, there is no grandfather soldier child soldier. Fully armed. Many of the soldiers were dressed in tattered cotton armor, which was different from the restored Jinghaiwei.

In the center is Zhang Keda's Dengzhou battalion cavalry, which is also the strongest cavalry in Dengzhou, their war horses are much stronger than the Laizhou battalion, most of them are quite strong, many soldiers are wearing leather armor, and they are still fully armed.

Denglai General Soldier, Zhang Ke came out in large rows in the fluttering banner, and he was about fifty years old. He is quite strong, his hair is slightly white, the fish scale armor on his body is covered with dust, his eye sockets are slightly sunken, and his eyes are extremely bright.

Zhao Lie, Lin Dongze and others knelt on the ground and called them handsome.

Zhang Keda was surrounded by more than 20 generals such as the commander of the war battalion, the commanders of the guards, and the same knowledge, but they used tea kung fu to see the ceremony, and Zhao Lie secretly scolded the cumbersome officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

"You are the second son of Lord Zhao Haiming, who is the commander of the same knowledge." Zhang Ke looked at Zhao Lie with big eyes.

"Bing Dashuai. The father is Zhao Tongzhi, and his subordinate is the second son Zhao Lie. Zhao Lie bowed.

"I heard the news the day before yesterday. You killed hundreds of enemies in Laiyang, relieved the siege of Laiyang, and the handsome man rejoiced for your father, and he was not a general. Zhang Ke smiled with a big twist, and the wrinkles on his face were as vivid as a knife and axe, showing half of his life in the southern and northern wars. Come, Zhao Qianhu will talk about how hundreds of defeats thousands. ”

There was a faint laughter around, and it was estimated that he thought that he had falsely reported his war exploits, after all, it would be good to have more than a thousand chaotic people.

"My lord, the rebellious people of the Smelling Fragrance Sect are just a rabble, most of them are just fools and foolish women, coerced by the cult, on the battle array, our army first destroyed its forward with fire guns and gun arrays, and then the horse team charged, the chaotic people were defeated, our army pursued for several miles, and the heads, prisoners and captures were all disposed of by the commander in the city." Zhao Lie replied respectfully.

I can't help him be disrespectful, at this time, most of the Ming generals have two brushes and most of them are still loyal, Shen Yourong of Fujian, Mangui of Liaodong, Zhao Shujiao, Hu Dawei of Shanxi, etc. are all heroes, the north and south conquer the south, according to the west and the north to fight the north captivity, which barely keeps the Ming dynasty from chaos.

What made the Ming Dynasty collapse was internal affairs, it was the internal governance and the civil overseers who destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and the current warriors of the Ming Dynasty have done their best.

"My lord, my subordinate Lord Guan is quite strong in commanding the cavalry, and there are hundreds of horses that can break thousands." Zhao Lie didn't flatter, with hundreds of such cavalry, it was enough to defeat thousands of Wenxiang Sect's rebellious people.

"At a young age, I know the three flavors of officialdom, and I can't welcome him like this." Zhang Ke laughed and laughed, teasing in a good mood, since Zhao Lie dared to say that the capture was all in the city, he expected that he did not falsely report his military exploits this time, otherwise it would be the way to die, he had no jealousy of Zhao Lie's meritorious service, he was already a second-grade general soldier at the peak of his martial arts, and he could not be promoted, and he only wanted to be stable at the moment.

"The subordinates are all truthful, and there is no intention of greeting them, and I hope that the handsome man will be clear." Zhao Lie smiled and saluted.

"Hehe," Zhang Ke laughed twice, "What a black boy, eloquence, it doesn't match your face, Lao Zhao is blessed." ”

Zhang Keda and Zhao Haiming have met a few times, knowing that Zhao Haiming is quite knowledgeable about soldiers, and knows how to advance and retreat, but unfortunately he is only a general of the navy, and the road to promotion is too narrow, and there is no big hope in this life.

"My lord has a good reputation, and the lower official is just a black charcoal head and a rough martial artist, and he only knows how to fight in battle." Zhao Lie said humbly.

At this moment, several horsemen galloped in, and one of them rolled the saddle and dismounted in return,

"Marshal, the striker Jinghaiwei Chang reported that he was ambushed by the enemy in Fuyuan, and more than 100 people were lost, and he couldn't hold on to the enemy at the moment, and I hope that my lord will send reinforcements."

Zhang Keda frowned slightly, a few days ago, he was defeated, he was defeated, why not. He thought about it and looked at Zhao Lie, "Order the forward battalion Laizhou cavalry to set off immediately to reinforce Fuyuan, and the other infantry troops will rest for a day and set off to rebel." Zhang Keda issued an edict.

The Laizhou battalion soldiers continued to set off on the first day of the Lunar New Year helplessly, and scolded the defeated Jing Haiwei and Zhang Keda who let them go out immediately, they could die after a day's rest, of course they knew that the feast in Laiyang City was far away from them, and they had to continue to move forward on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and fight for their lives.

At this time, Zhao Lie ordered his troops to move out of the city and give up the garrison to Zhang Keda and his Dengzhou soldiers, after all, their garrison was the only place in the city where Zhang Keda's team could rest, and the other guards were all camped outside the city, and there was no place in the city.

When the more than 300 soldiers of the purge went out of the city to show in front of everyone, everyone was in one suit, and the whole body of iron armor, neat and uniform behavior, and full of spirit showed that this was a rare force.

Let the commanders of several guards salivate, this is also the guards soldiers, well, they are more elite than the Denglai soldiers, Chang Runing is also a blessed one, Chang Runing will definitely cry and laugh if he is here, and Zhao Lie's recklessness can be surrendered by anyone.

Zhang Ke twisted his beard carefully, his face was clean, and he roughly understood how the three or four hundred infantry teams and more than one hundred cavalry teams could break through thousands of hundreds.

If it is all cavalry, he can also achieve hundreds of defeats and thousands, and he is not sure that there are only hundreds of infantry teams and hundreds of cavalry, and Zhao Lie's department in front of him has done it, then this means that either Zhao Haiming is a good hand at training soldiers, or the tall and thick young Zhao Lie in front of him is good at managing soldiers.

At first, he noticed the sturdiness of Zhao Lie's guards, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, the sturdiness of the family was very common among the Ming generals, but if the soldiers in front of him were all military households, the Zhao family would be impressive.

Zhang Keda didn't say much, and entered the county seat at the kind invitation of Lin Dongze, and his thousands of cavalry also entered the city with him. The other guards began to build camps outside the city, and the generals all went to the banquet with Zhang Keda.

The banquet didn't last long, after all, Zhang Keda had been tired for many days, so he went back to the camp to rest after a few drinks. The other generals were full of wine and food, and they dispersed.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Lie led all the soldiers to run around the camp fully armed for five laps as usual, and the roaring sound made the other guards around scold, and the New Year did not stop, Zhao Lie didn't care at all, and then went back to the camp to rest after the incident, but he didn't pay attention to a few pairs of eyes on the city wall to see the whole process.

"My lord, the inventory is complete, the heads and prisoners are all true, and the subordinates asked about the Laiyang capture that cleaned the battlefield, and Zhao Lie broke hundreds of thousands of chaotic people's war reports as true, and there was no trace of false reporting." A pro-general will report.

Zhang Keda squinted slightly.

"My lord, Zhao Lie has led his subordinate soldiers to practice every day in the past few days, so that the people near the military camp in the city have many complaints, and the words disturb the people too much, in addition, Zhao Lie's infantry army is the military household under his jurisdiction, and the cavalry is his family." Another general said.

Zhang Keda smiled, happy in his heart, this person has great ambitions, big ambitions, a military yaman came to a small dilapidated thousand households, invested a huge amount of money, reorganized the army for war, although the soldiers are few, they are all strong and good at fighting, Zhao Lie took the lead in the battle array, and was in danger, why not, I am afraid that there is the ambition of Qi Ye and Li Chengliang.

Zhang Keda is not afraid that his subordinates have big ambitions, which has nothing to do with him, and even greatly beneficial, as the head town of Denglai, he may be transferred to Liaoxi or Dongjiang by an edict from the imperial court at any time to fight for his life with Jiannu, and he is most worried that there are too few generals who can be reused.

Although there are more than 7,000 soldiers in Denglai and 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers in the guards, but these are all numbers on the books, he knows the combat power under his command, the Laizhou battalion and the Dengzhou battalion are still full, and most of the 1,000 soldiers in the Wendeng battalion are short, and most of the guards have fled, so it is good to have 20,000 soldiers.

Most of them were farmers who picked up sticks, and if they fought guerrilla warfare in the Dongjiang River, or fought against Jiannu in Liaoxi, these soldiers would definitely be defeated, and they would never be lucky.

However, when today's son favored Yuan Manzi, let him be the governor of Jiliao, and even dismissed the governor of Denglai, Denglai was also under Yuan Manzi's orders, and Denglai's department could join the battle formation in western Liaoning at any time, which made Zhang Keda extremely anxious.

He also wants to strengthen his combat strength, but Denglai Zhiying Denglai Guard Station and the islands of the Dongjiang River are already in short supply, and there is no money and food to build armor and train soldiers diligently, he Zhang Keda is just a military general, and the money and food are in the hands of Wenchen.

Zhao Lie's subordinate is strong, and the more subordinates like this, the better, but unfortunately, the qualifications are shallow, and they are just a small thousand households. However, Zhang Keda made a note here in order to reuse it in the future.

After lunch, Zhang Keda led the army to set off, Zhao Lie's department stayed in Laiyang, who let Zhao Lie's department be injured, this is something that no one can be jealous of, of course, Zhao Lie knows that most of them are false. This is also what Zhao Lie wants, he is at ease in Laiyang training. (To be continued.) )
