Just when Dolgon was in a state of anxiety and smoke was everywhere, Yang Bo led the Thunder Brigade to float on the sea for several days, and because the site of the last landing was closely monitored by the Tartars, this time the choice was a remote tidal flat more than 20 miles north of the last landing site.

He Jiu took a team of special agents to go ashore first, their task was to monitor the movements of the Golden State Tartars, as long as they went out of the city to deal with Tan Yinghua's troops in Wanghai Pot Fort, the Thunder Brigade would use lightning speed to attack Jinzhou, after blocking the Tartars' retreat, most of the Thunder Brigade would continue to move eastward, seeking a decisive battle with the Tartars.

No matter who it is, even if Yang Bo himself defends Jinzhou, he will not sit idly by and watch the coastal Duntai Tunbao in Jinzhou be uprooted one by one by the Ming army, and this Ming army is still the Dongjiang soldiers they have never looked at.

"My lord, the chosen landing site is ahead."

Wang Xiaoyu is reporting the current situation to Yang Bo: "Lord He with a battalion in a small boat has landed yesterday, there is no warning back at present, indicating that the landing is very smooth, the follow-up arquebus battalion, spear battalion, etc. will wait on the sea until dark, and then start landing, it is expected that the landing site is more than 30 miles away from Jinzhou, if you march quickly, you can go to Jinzhou City in half a day, and then walk half a day to get to the nearest Sanshou, Ranch Station"

Yang Bo nodded, and looked at the shore with a clairvoyant mirror, the sky was already dark, and he couldn't see the movement in the distance, and the sea was windy at night, and the warships were tossing up and down on the sea, and all the people waiting for the landing must be struggling for time.

After waiting for about an hour, a signal from Chen Bilian finally came, signaling that the fleet could continue sailing, so she raised the sails and set sail again......

After another half an hour, it was already completely dark, and there were more than thirty small warships floating in the bay in front, and several large ships were mixed in the middle, and they landed in small boats under the command of the sailors, and there were already several groups of soldiers on the shore, and they formed a defensive formation on the shore.

"Adults don't have to be in danger in person, just sit on the boat" Seeing that Xiao Wu was hanging for Yang Bo, several chief officials persuaded him.

Yang Bo hesitated a little, his eyes swept over the sincere faces of Li Dali, Liu Manzi and others, and he still shook his head: "Although I can't kill a few Tartars, but as soon as the banner is played, it's no problem to boost morale, and when our territory is bigger, each of you will bring more soldiers, so I don't have to work so hard." ”

The shallows of the landing site were full of strange rocks, a small boat accidentally hit a reef, a large hole in the hull of the ship, and more than 30 soldiers on board were soaked in the icy water, blown by the sea breeze, and their teeth were frozen

After more than an hour, the last soldier went ashore, Yang Bo took Chen Bilian's hand and admonished: "Ah Lian, you take the fleet to anchor ten miles away from the beach, you are not allowed to come over without a signal, if the plan goes well, we may return to Lushun by land." ”

Chen Bilian glanced at Yang Bo deeply and nodded, and then leaned into Yang Bo's ear and whispered: "Take care." ”

Due to the complex terrain, after going ashore, the Thunder Brigade was divided into two teams to march in the dark, and their target was Cuiping Mountain, which was more than 20 miles away from Jinzhou, which was an extension of Jinzhou Fan Mountain, which could be regarded as a mountain with a higher altitude, and the vegetation on Cuiping Mountain was lush, which was very suitable for the Thunder Brigade to hide its tracks. In this era, there are very few armies marching at night, firstly, the soldiers generally suffer from night blindness, and the logistical organization capacity is limited, and it is easy to break up, but the Thunder Brigade does not have these concerns, the soldiers are one by one, under the guidance of the special forces camp outpost, the ground is silent, and the occasional seabirds in front of them are the sound of neat rustling footsteps.

On the 18th, Tie Moda, the garrison general of Jinzhou, suddenly received an urgent report from the sentinel and the flying horse, saying that the enemy Taiwan in the coastal area of Jinzhou, such as the left eye, the right eye, the third hand, the Xishazhou, and the Guayatai, was attacked by a large number of Ming troops, and the number and banner of the enemy troops were not clear at present.

Just when Tiemoda convened everyone to discuss, there were several flying horses to report, saying that this Ming army conquered the enemy everywhere and then surrounded Wanghaipot Fort, is in the fierce attack, more than 300 banners stationed in the fort were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, at present it is only according to the fort to defend to the death, but under the siege of a large number of Ming troops, the loss of Haipot Fort is only in a moment!

After receiving the report, Temoda was shocked, and everyone under his command was also discussing.

"Master, what should I do?" A Niu Lu stepped forward and asked

"Aliza is willing to take 300 cavalry to rescue Wanghai Pot Fort," another Niu Lu shouted for battle.

"Nonsense!"

Temoda shouted: "At present, the enemy situation is unknown, and the number of Han dogs is also unknown, how can we send troops in a hurry?" ”

The cow retreated stupidly.

After a while, sure enough, another sentry came to report: "My lord, this Ming army is about 3,000 people, and the banner is the same as the last attack on Jinzhou!" ”

"What?" Tiemoda was shocked and said, "Can you find out?" ”

The sentry said loudly: "No mistake, muskets, spears, etc., are indeed the same as the Ming army that attacked Jinzhou last time." ”

Tiemoda glanced at everyone, everyone's face was a little panicked, Tiemoda knew in his heart that the last time he was defeated in the field battle with the Ming army outside the city, he left them with too deep an impression.

"What's wrong with the Lushun garrison?" Temoda asked after a moment's silence.

"The sentry has been placed about a mile below the city of Arthur, and there is nothing unusual about the defenders," another Niu Lu replied.

Temoda nodded and said, "Understood! ”

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Tie Moda explained: "According to the detailed report of the Beijing Division, the last time it attacked Jinzhou was the Jimo Battalion in Shandong, and the leader of the troops was always called Zhou Guangbi, and his subordinates were surnamed Yang and Yang Bo. ”

Seeing everyone's gritted teeth, Tiemoda said, "However, in my estimation, the siege of Wanghaipot Fort is not the Jimo Battalion. ”

"Why?" The crowd became more and more puzzled

Temoda beckoned the sentinel who asked for help and asked, "Which enemy platform did you first discover the Ming army?" ”

The sentry thought for a while and replied: "It's the enemy platform of Guaya Mountain."

Temoda asked again, "How long has the Ming army besieged Wanghai Pot Fort?" What about casualties on both sides? ”

The sentry thought for a while and said, "This Ming army has broken through Guaya Mountain, Xishazhou, Sanshou, Left Eye, and Right Eye all the way. With the siege of Wanghai Pot Fort at noon today, our flag stationed in the fort was caught off guard and more than 100 people were broken, but the Ming army also suffered heavy casualties. ”

Tiemoda asked again: "Can the Ming army's equipment be neat?" Are there any firearms such as artillery? ”

The sentry shook his head affirmatively: "Lord Hui, this Ming army is in rags, has no firearms, even the spear in his hand is made of wooden poles, and there is no armor equipment except for a few pairs of leather armor." ”

Temoda looked up and asked, "Do you understand?" ”

A few Niu Lu nodded convincingly: "Understood!" ”

That Ariza said again: "The Han dog is not cunning, and the banner is exchanged for it, but I don't know which Ming army came to take advantage of the fire to rob?" ”

Tie Moda said with a smile: "Who else is closest to Wanghai Pot Fort, Tan Yinghua, the deputy general of Dongjiang Guanglu!" He thought that under the banner of the Jimo battalion, he would be able to swagger ashore and attack, and treat my Jinzhou as nothing? ”

Hearing that the adults had the intention of sending troops, everyone was overjoyed, and several people rushed to play the striker.

Tie Moda frowned and said: "The three thousand Guanglu Han dogs are just hand-to-hand, the only thing to worry about is the enemy in Lushun, if the surnamed Yang takes advantage of the emptiness of Jinzhou to attack, how to deal with it?" ”

"Lushun is one hundred and fifty miles away from Jinzhou, even if the Jimo camp has the heart to help, how can it be in time? And the soldiers and horses of Lushun have been detected by my sentry before they move, so what are you afraid of? Ariza asked aloud.

"Although the Ming army has no horses, it has ships? Have you forgotten the last sneak attack? Tiemoda was still a little hesitant: "Is there an abnormality in the western coastal area of the Golden State?" Is there a trace of the Ming army's sailors? ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tiemoda waved his hand and said, "Send a sentry to investigate the landing sites in the west again, and you must carefully groom them, and you can't let go of any clues." ”

Ariza was a little anxious and asked, "My lord, the situation in Wanghai Fort is extremely critical!" ”

Tiemoda nodded and said: "Ariza, you take three hundred cavalry to rush to the aid of Wanghai Fortress, not only to defend, but also to cut off the retreat of the Ming army, so that they can not come and go, if all the places in the west are unharmed, I will lead the army to cover up and kill!" ”

Hearing Tie Moda's order, everyone hugged their fists and said loudly: "Yes!" ”

~~~~~~~~~

Cuiping Mountain, Yang Bo didn't sleep well last night, and the cold wind blew on the mountain in the middle of the night, feeling a little groggy, so he slept with a blanket for a while before he heard someone call him

"Your Excellency!" He Jiu hurriedly ran up with a few people

"How?" Yang Bo got up with a bone

"My lord, the Tartars are out of town!"

He Jiu couldn't hide the joy on his face: "At noon, there were already three hundred cavalry galloping in the direction of Wanghai Pot Fort, and now there is another group of cavalry out of the city and heading east, the number of about eight hundred people, the banner of the Chinese army is Jialazhangjing!" ”

Yang Bo put his hands on his forehead: "The goddess of fate is finally smiling at us!" ”

He Jiu was confused: "What? What woman is smiling? ”

Yang Bo thought for a while and said, "Ling! The entire Thunder Brigade was dispatched to besiege Jinzhou, He Jiu, is your squad ready? ”

He Jiu nodded and said: "It's all ready, a team of fifteen people, one person and two horses, each equipped with six short guns, and a pair of bows and crossbows." ”

Yang Bo was silent for a moment and said: "Lushun is the focus of Tartar prevention, there are a lot of Tartar slave sentry riders along the way, let them not fight in battle, and send the news back to Li Weiluan in Lushun as soon as possible."

He Jiu shouted the order, and after a while, the members of the special forces squad turned over and galloped away in the direction of Lushun.

At noon on 18 October, the Thunder Brigade began to attack Jinzhou after forming a group at Cuiping Mountain......

The arquebus battalion is on guard, and their task is not to let a person go when they are spied on by sentry horses, while the first special forces battalion is responsible for breaking off, and the Chinese army is still an auxiliary and smoothbore artillery battalion.

Hearing that the defenders of Jinzhou were transferred, Yang Bo was full of joy but a little annoyed, even if the defenders of Jinzhou were surrounded and annihilated, how should the Thunder Brigade without heavy firearms fight when it arrives in Jinzhou? Shang Kexi and Tie Niu, what is their current situation? Can you hold back the covered reinforcements? Give the Thunder Brigade precious time to gnaw on the Golden State?

"Two days!"

Yang Bo muttered in his heart, as long as he is given two days, Tan Yinghua, Li Weiluan and him will join forces together, and it is estimated that there is no big problem in biting Jinzhou, but if the remaining Tartars in Jinzhou are high-spirited and can't gnaw Jinzhou for two days, then their situation will be a little bad, and there is no other way than to retreat.

Everything is ready, and only one kick is owed......

At this moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the right side, and Yang Bo's face suddenly changed!

After a while, Li Dali hurried to the Chinese army, and he reported with a sweaty face: "My lord, just now I found more than a dozen Tartar sentry horses on the right flank, maybe I found an abnormality rushing towards us, and the arquebus battalion didn't report it, and fired first!" ”

Yang Bo split his head and asked, "How many horses have you escaped?" ”

Li Dali hung his head: "I escaped three horses, and Lord He has already sent someone to chase after him." ”

"How far is it from the Golden State?" Yang Bo turned his head and asked

Liu Bingwen, a staff officer of the Chinese army, hurriedly said; "This place is about twenty miles from the Golden State"

Yang Bo thought for a while: "Order all battalions to hurry at the speed of a rapid march, and they must rush to the city of Jinzhou to build a position within an hour, and they are not allowed to let a man or a horse enter the city, and the pikemen and arquebus battalions each leave a company to protect the logistics."

Li Dali asked, "What should I do if I encounter a Tartar sentry on the road?" ”

Yang Bo shook his head: "The situation is critical, we and the Tartar slaves are scrambling for time, so just a few sentry riders don't have to pay attention to them!" ”

Several staff officers of the Chinese army galloped wildly, rushing to the commanders of the battalions to convey orders, and soon, the Chinese army first played the flag, and after the long suona sound, the violent drum beat was beaten......

Tiemoda rode out of the south gate with 800 steps, and walked in the direction of Wanghaipot Fort, calculating the time, it is estimated that Ariza and they are about to arrive, and the sentry cavalry reported that Wanghaipot Fort is still on the defensive, and Tiemoda is very disdainful of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

Tiemoda knew that the Ming army stationed on the islands of the Dongjiang River was living a very hard time, even more than when they were in the first year of Tiancong, Shenyang was fighting rice eight taels, and the hungry Fu was all over the place, and the Ming army on the islands often landed in order to dig up some ginseng, pick some medicinal herbs, and get some furs for food to eat, but it was rare for a poor and crazy person like Guanglu to come out of the nest, and 3,000 people could not beat a fortress of more than 300 people for two hours, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army can be imagined, this Ming army is simply to send the head to him to make meritorious service, think of this, Temoda couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Since the defeat of Jinzhou City, Shenyang has criticized him a lot, but the Great Khan still firmly supported him, not only allocated half an extra cow to him, but also personally wrote to tell him not to care about small failures and stick to Jinzhou.

Thinking of this, Tiemoda's heart was warm, and he said to himself: "Master, the slave has destroyed this Ming army and given you a long face!" ”

After walking for another half an hour, Tiemoda felt faintly uneasy in his heart, and turned his head to ask the chief officer of the sentry cavalry: "Is there any change in the Lushun garrison?" ”

The chief officer shook his head: "My lord, the sentry rode half an hour ago, there is nothing abnormal, and the next ride will have to wait for more than half an hour."

Tiemoda asked again, "Has the Golden State Coastal Sentinel returned any returns?" ”

The sentinel thought for a while, and then looked at the sky: "Strange, it hasn't been reported yet, maybe those minions are lazy, or they don't know if they have broken their horses, please wait for half an hour, right?" ”

Tiemoda pressed his heart and felt uneasy, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't find any omissions, so he couldn't help but settle down: "Why do you always like to be suspicious lately?" Could it be that the Han dog killed too much? I'll invite a lama to come and see it another day."

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded behind him, and a sentry rode towards the Chinese army on horseback.

"What's going on?" The sentry commander stepped forward and said sharply

"Your Excellency!" The sentry horse rolled off the horse, and the shocking hole on the ** was still bleeding, seeing this situation, Tiemoda's head buzzed!

Sure enough, the sentry said: "My lord, something is wrong, a Ming army rushed straight to Jinzhou from Cuiping Mountain, the number is about 3,000, the banner is exact, it is exactly ......"

When the sentinel saw him spitting, he struck him with a horsewhip in his hand: "Who is it?" ”

At this moment, only a plop was heard, and Temoda's majestic body suddenly overturned from the horse, causing everyone to be shocked.

"Your Excellency?" The chief officer of the sentry hurriedly dismounted, and worked with several people to help Tiemoda up, but Tiemoda's face was pale, and a wisp of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you like this? Was it okay just now? When they saw Temoda's appearance, everyone wept

"We've been tricked!"

Tiemoda smiled miserably: "Ling, everyone will return to the city immediately!" Send someone to report to Ariza and tell him to stop caring about Wanghai Fortress, it's too late, and Golden State won't be able to keep it! ”

More than 800 Tatar slaves rushed towards Jinzhou in a panic, they were still like a rainbow an hour ago, but now they are in a hurry like a lost dog, along the way, Tiemoda continued to issue orders, 200 cavalry in the 800 cavalry first returned to Jinzhou, Tiemoda told thousands of instructions, this way to collect the sentry cavalry, meet the Ming army must not fight with it, return to the city to defend the top, and wait for 200 horses to leave, Tiemoda felt a little at ease, and ordered the remaining 600 people to abandon the heavy armor, and encouraged: "As long as you return to Jinzhou is a great achievement"

Unexpectedly, several waves of sentry horses came to report, the north gate of Lushun was wide open, and three thousand Ming troops rushed out, and the target was Jinzhou!

Hearing this, Tiemoda spat out blood again, he was now able to determine that the Ming army had taken great pains to lure him out of the city in order to capture Jinzhou!

But what could he do?

Half an hour later, more than a dozen bloodstained sentry horses galloped in, and the first one was the chief officer of the sentry cavalry who led the troops to the aid of Jinzhou.

"Your Excellency!"

The chief officer dismounted and cried: "My lord, Jinzhou can't go back, the Ming army surrounded Jinzhou like an iron bucket, the villain rushed several times and didn't rush to the city, and only these horses were left in the two hundred horses."

"How could the Ming army be so fast?" Temoda asked, holding back the anger in his heart

"Those Ming troops lurked in Cuiping Mountain, and it only took an hour to arrive in twenty miles, my lord, the villain is incompetent, please forgive me!" The Sentinel Commander knew that he would not end well, and it was his responsibility in the final analysis.

"It's not the time to talk about these now, what is the situation in Jinzhou, and has the Ming army attacked the city?" Temoda asked

The chief officer of the sentry cavalry shook his head: "The Ming army doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking the city, but just surrounded Jinzhou, and the villain didn't contact Tong Guangbi and them in the city, so I don't know what the situation is." ”

Tiemoda thought for a while and said: "You send people to rescue everywhere overnight, as long as the master sends troops, this Ming army will definitely fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly, two said, as long as Jinzhou can hold on to two days!" ”

The chief officer of the sentry cavalry left in shame, and the other Niu Lu asked: "My lord, this Golden State can't go back, so what should I do?" ”

Tiemoda looked around at everyone, and everyone had fear on their faces, so he said slowly: "Even if you can't go back, do you think that we can still reply to Gai?" How do you tell your master when you go back? ”

Everyone was silent, the last time the master was lenient and did not pursue the matter of losing soldiers in the field, but this time he lost Jinzhou again, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death, and even his family members would become slaves.

"Today, only moths fight the fire, and the Ming army will fight to the death under the city of Jinzhou!" Temoda waved his hand fiercely (to be continued.) )
