Chapter 54: Planning a Counterattack

"Xianggong, you have suffered!" In the end, Chen Bilian, who was escorting the supplies, came to the city, and was distressed when she saw Yang Bo's haggard appearance, and threw herself into Yang Bo's arms and cried.

"Silly girl!"

Yang Bo smiled and stroked Chen Bilian's hair: "This journey is going well, right?" ”

Chen Bilian hugged Yang Bo and cried and laughed, and it took a while to calm down, and after a while, she said as if she remembered something: "Yesterday, I encountered wind and waves, and sank a boat, but fortunately, it was daytime, and the people on the boat were rescued, but the gunpowder and lead on the ship were gone, and a few mortars were gone......

Seeing Chen Bilian's distressed appearance, Yang Bo smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay if people are okay, those mortars can still be rebuilt." ”

Zhang Dabao came with the teaching camp, Yang Bo breathed a sigh of relief, post-war pension, psychological counseling and treatment these work can be entrusted to him to do, the withdrawn soldiers sat in groups of three or five, in front of them placed a jar of wine and pig's head meat, they vented on the one hand, boasted on the other hand, the atmosphere was very warm.

Yang Bo didn't dare to go out of the door, or he would be surrounded by those enthusiastic people and sergeants, He Jiu, Calf, Dabao, Tie Niu, these people have all arrived, and Yang Bo even saw a familiar figure in the ambulance - Bi Fangji! Unexpectedly, he also came, and saw that Bi Fangji was busy with a few believers, and Yang Bo did not disturb his work.

In today's battle, the third battalion lost more than 100 people again, if it weren't for the critical moment when the ammunition of the firecrackers ran out, Chen Bilian arrived with supplies, the consequences would be unimaginable, but Yang Bo did not regret it, the Tartars could not gnaw Lushun today, and there would be no chance in the future.

"Tie Niu, how is the change of guard in the Jimo Battalion, are those recruits scared when they see the mountains of corpses piled up under the city wall?" Yang Bo asked Tie Niu Dao

"Brother, don't worry, these guys don't know how high the morale is, seeing the veterans of the third battalion making meritorious contributions to kill the Tartars, they can't wait for the Tartars to attack the city again tonight, so that the Tartars can see their methods!" Iron Bull replied with a smile.

"Haha!" Yang Bo laughed, it would be good if the military heart could be used, the Jimo battalion had not undergone too much hard training, and could only grow up in the battlefield of blood and fire.

"Dabao, you have to do a good job of comforting the wounded soldiers, tell them that Lushun is solid, and let them recuperate with peace of mind"

Yang Bo turned his head to Dabao and said, "After eating, let's go to inspect again, everyone will take a look, and there is anything missing." ”

"The Tartars don't seem to show signs of retreating?" He Jiu frowned and said, "Today, it is estimated that the losses are heavy enough, right?" ”

Yang Bo waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't worry, we haven't settled this account with the Tartars yet, and it's best for them to continue to besiege the city." ”

After eating, Yang Bo took a group of people to inspect, and happened to meet Li Weiluan, who was dressed in a drape, and was also walking around the city, the two met, their hands were clasped tightly, the two had been in the same boat several times, and there was no need to be polite between them.

"The city defense equipment is arranging for the auxiliaries to replenish, don't you know how to move, if this tartar is not withdrawn, our house in Lushun will be almost demolished for you," Li Weiluan said with a smile.

Yang Bo laughed, his mood was extremely comfortable, watching the people busy carrying stones, horses, and sassalwood to the city wall, and some sergeants from the Jimo battalion surrounded a few veterans, listening to the veterans boasting about the bloody battle during the day, and seeing the two adults coming together, they stood up one after another, and Yang Bo motioned for them to continue.

Li Weiluan's arrangement to defend the city is more proper, there are enough lanterns or torches to hang on the crossbar between each battlement, and there is a team of sergeants patrolling the five battlements, they are holding gongs in their hands, and if there is any trouble, the whole city can be warned soon, under such an arrangement, it is almost impossible for the Tartars to steal the city at night.

When Yang Bo was about to convene a temporary military meeting, he looked left and right, but found that there seemed to be someone missing, and after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be Zhang Shixiong!

"Where is Zhang Shixiong confined?" Yang Bo asked the military discipline officer

"He shut himself up in a dark room...... replied in a whisper from a military judge

"I'll go see him" Yang Wavechang stood up and said to the commanders above the company platoon level present present: "You guys discuss first, what can be summed up in these battles with the Tartars?"

The military discipline officer patted on the door: "Shixiong, my lord has come to see you"

Yang Bo waved his hand, and the military discipline officer stepped aside.

"Your Excellency!" Zhang Shixiong's deep voice came from inside the door

"How's it going, have you figured it out?" Yang Bo asked lightly

"The adults say that Shixiong is wrong, then Shixiong is wrong," Zhang Shixiong replied stupidly

"Oh?" Yang Bo couldn't help but smile: "Then do you know what you are doing wrong?" ”

Zhang Shixiong in the door was silent.

"Actually, you didn't do anything wrong today, but I still have to punish you, because you went too fast......" Yang Bo sighed and shook his head: "Give me twenty years, no, ten years is enough, I will use you a lot after ten years, but now, I will punish you, starting tomorrow, Jimo Ying will calm you without having to do it." ”

When Yang Bo was about to leave with his hands behind his back, Zhang Shixiong suddenly asked, "My lord, please allow the little one to enter the spear barracks to kill the Tartars?" ”

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment and turned around, and only said after a while: "No, the newly formed Liaodong Battalion still lacks a military discipline officer, and you will take office tomorrow."

Yang Bo had been gone for a long time, and Zhang Shixiong was still muttering to himself in confusion: "Liaodong Camp, where did you come from?" ”

In the evening, the lights on the upper floor of Lushun City were bright, and the commanders of the Jimo Battalion and the three battalions and platoons gathered here, as well as the Intelligence Division, the Logistics Department, the Staff Department and other departments attended.

The next day, the Tartar camp was quiet, except for a group of sentry horses wandering around the camp, the Tartars did not have any signs of attacking the city, even the artillery on the Golden Mountain stopped, and it is estimated that Kong Youde has no ammunition.

"Retreat and unwilling, siege and don't dare, pitiful, pitiful!" Xiucai scolded harshly under the city wall.

He Jiu touched his chin and looked at the piles of Tartar corpses under the city wall, yesterday the Tartars retreated in a hurry, and they didn't even care about the corpses.

"You don't have to make up your mind, the Tartars are luring us out of the city!" Yang Bo glared at He Jiu, He Jiu smiled, his eyes were still rolling.

A sentry rode over from the "Sir": "More than 20 boats have come to the sea, flying the banner of the Dongjiang Naval Division."

"Oh?" Yang Bo was stunned: "Go and ask Lord Li to greet you"

Yang Bo's judgment was correct, sure enough, Shang Kexi of Guanglu Island led two thousand soldiers and horses to reinforce Lushun, he encountered a hurricane in the sea of Dengzhou before, most of the ships sank, and finally collected a few ships and hurried over.

Seeing Yang Bo, Shang Kexi ignored Yang Bo's military attache uniform from the fourth grade and bowed down.

"Oops, Motoyoshi, what's the matter?" Yang Bo hurriedly picked up this famous Tartar annihilation in later generations, and his tone was very enthusiastic.

"Thank you for rescuing Lushun in the Jimo camp, and sending Yuanxiang and my family back to Guangludao for resettlement, but Lord Huang ...... him" Shang Kexi was sad, Huanglong was his biggest backer, as soon as Huanglong died, Shang Kexi thought of the exclusion of him by the various departments of the Dongjiang River, and couldn't help but feel sad and cry loudly.

Yang Bo looked at Shang Kexi, about early thirties, with big ears, looking slightly blessed, his father Shang Xueli, his brother Shang Kejin and others all died on the battlefield, including Lushun's cousin Shang Keyi.

"Guan, please take me to the tomb of Lord Huang to pay respects" After thanking Yang Bo, Shang Kexi hurriedly followed Li Weiluan to the tomb of Huanglong.

At noon, Li Weiluan and others had a large banquet to entertain the 2,000 Dongjiang soldiers who were still happy to come to their aid, and Zhou Guangbi and Yang Bo were also on the side. Seeing the large pile of Tartar heads under the city wall of Lushun, the eyes of those Dongjiang soldiers were green, these are all military exploits, all silver? It's just rotting there?

Yang Bo persuaded hard, Shang Kexi sighed, and said to Yang Bo: "Zhixian, do you know what kind of life Guangludao has lived?" Guanglu Island is nearly 500 miles away from Lushun, there are 3,000 Liao soldiers on the island, 20,000 Liao people, and only 10,400 acres of fields. ”

Yang Bo turned his head to look at the Liaodong soldiers who were desperately stuffing rice into their mouths, these people were all yellow and thin, but the empty bowls in front of them were piled high, there was a shortage of oil and water in this era, a strong man had to consume at least more than three hundred catties of food a year, and he was still barely starved to death, Guanglu Island was barren, no wonder he couldn't feed so many people.

"The imperial court only pays three months of silver a year, and people starve to death on the island every year, and now Lord Huang is again, and I'm afraid that Guanglu Island won't even get three months' salary, alas, it's difficult!" Shang Kexi kept shaking his head and sighing,

Yang Bo thought about it, and said a few words in Shang Kexi's ear, and Shang Kexi stood up violently: "Leisure...... Is what you say true? ”

Yang Bo smiled, nodded and said, "Seriously, even if you give me 10,000 people, I'm not afraid."

Shang Kexi said with some embarrassment: "Don't dare to deceive Zhixian, if you want people, most of the people on the island are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are not many other young and strong." ”

Yang Bo shook his head: "Yuanji, as long as I am old and weak, I will exchange rice and grain with you!" ”

"Good!"

Shang Kexi held Yang Bo's hand tightly: "Knowing leisure and pride, Yuan Ji doesn't like to be so stupid, knowing leisure and great kindness, Yuan Ji remembers it in his heart." ”

At this moment, another rider came to report, saying that there were several big ships under the banner of Dengzhou Sailors, and Zong Yuanfang relieved the rice grain to come to Lushun Labor Army.

The crowd did not dare to slack off and rushed to the beach to greet them.

Zong Yuanfang ignored everyone's enthusiasm, holding Yang Bo's hand with great affection, Shang Kexi stood at the end, thinking about seeing such a situation.

"What are these people doing here?" Zong Yuanfang asked with some dissatisfaction, what he was most afraid of now was that others would share his credit.

"Don't underestimate these Dongjiang troops, with them, let's let go and do a big job."

Yang Bo smiled and quietly withdrew his hand: "It's just that the Tartar is vicious, and the body of the adult is ten thousand gold, and you can't get into danger lightly, if it's ......"

"Where do you go?"

Zong Yuanfang was displeased and said: "Our family is deeply favored by the Long Live Lord, what is a few Tartars?" I can't say, our family will personally cut off a few Tartar dog heads this time and dedicate them to Your Majesty, so as to live up to Your Majesty's kindness! ”

Seeing that Yang Bo was still hesitating, Zong Yuanfang asked, "When will you leave?" ”

"Later ......" Yang Bo knew that he couldn't stop it, so he could only postpone the dispatch date by one day. (To be continued.) )
