Chapter 446: It's been several years since Lushun reunited in a trance

Zhao Lie looked at it for a long time, and felt that the artillery on the opposite side would still be a big trouble, and he had to clear it, otherwise it would be a constant artillery bombardment, and it would also be a huge threat to the city wall and the people in the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Now the city is crowded with soldiers of the Broken Army, if some projectiles hit the city, even if a soldier of the Broken Army is killed or injured, it is all earned by Jiannu, after all, according to the casualty rate of the Broken Army, a soldier who is killed must be buried with two or three Jiannu soldiers.

Moreover, this thing is constantly bombarded, causing casualties, which really affects the morale of the army, and it is impossible not to take precautions.

"Zhao Da, you send someone who knows the fleet, unload the long-barreled naval guns from the two Tang-class warships, and let the soldiers haul them into the city and put them at the head of the west city and the north city." Zhao Lie turned around and commanded.

Zhao Da immediately sent someone to the dock in Nancheng to tell him about the sound of the drums in command of the fleet.

"My lord, Zhang Pan, the deputy general of Lushun Town, is back." Zhao Da has been going west to the ladder.

Zhao Lie also saw the middle-aged military general with gray temples at a glance, and couldn't help but feel that the years were ruthless, compared with eight years ago, Zhang Pan looked a lot older, and his straight waist was now slightly curved, and a lot of lines were added to his face, highlighting the traces brought about by the pressure in Lushun over the years.

This kind of trapped in the lonely city of the work of many Ming generals can not escape, and even in this place encountered a siege of the city of Jiannu to collapse, but the person in front of him has been holding on for more than ten years, maybe Zhang Pan did not make any earth-shattering achievements, but also because Lushun is only a small border city, so Zhang Pan in the Ming court is not famous, and everyone is unknown.

But only the border generals who have fought with Jiannu know that Zhang Pan's difficulty is not easy, and when it comes to this veteran, who doesn't praise him for being old and strong. Zhao Lie's first battle was in Lushun. I also know that it is not easy to open the plate. It's also a respect.

Zhao Lie took a few steps forward and smiled at Zhang Pan, "I haven't seen you for many years, Lord Zhang is fine." ā€

Zhang Pan recognized Zhao Lie at a glance, although he hadn't seen him for eight years, Zhao Lie had grown from a teenage hairy boy to a young member of the imperial court in his twenties, and his face had changed somewhat, but Zhao Lie's figure was too special, and there were few people in the Ming Dynasty who were so tall and burly. What's more, there is a taller Yu Dabao guarding him, how can he not recognize it.

"Thank you Lord Zhao for traveling thousands of miles to help, if it weren't for the timely help, I am afraid that all the soldiers and people in Lushun will be spared, thank you." Zhang Pan is waiting to kneel and bow, this is the etiquette for the lower officials to see the upper officials, and he still has this duty.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be overstated, Zhao Lie is the commander of the Denglai Division, and the Denglai soldiers have just recovered, and they are all recruits. Without a battle formation, Zhao Lie had no choice but to ask for orders to go on the expedition. After all, Lushun is the last city of my Ming Dynasty in the southeast of Liaoning, and it is an important town for the Ming Dynasty to attack Jiannu, and it must not be lost. ā€

Zhao Lie hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhang Pan.

After saying this, Zhao Lie found that Zhang Pan was staring at him with wide eyes, quite out of character.

"Lord Zhang, this is... Zhao Lie smiled and arched his hand, he was also inexplicable.

"Lord Zhao is talking about attacking Jiannu?" Zhang Pan turned around at this time, and he asked Zhao Lie uncertainly, his heart was right, he thought that there had always been no problem with hearing.

"Oh, exactly, as the saying goes, Kou can go to me and I can go too." Only then did Zhao Lie realize that what he said about attacking Jiannu frightened Zhang Pan, and it was no wonder that at this time, when the Ming Dynasty was completely defeated, he said that he would attack Jiannu, and Zhang Pan certainly didn't believe it.

"Haha, Lord Zhao is so generous, it's just that Jiannu's cavalry is strong, not comparable to when defending the city."

This was said by Zhao Lie, if someone else said it, Zhang Pan must have reprimanded him for being arrogant, but Zhao Lie blocked some of Zhang Pan's words with his undefeated record against Jiannu, but he still mentioned it.

"Exactly, only the cavalry can attack Liaodong, otherwise it will definitely be defeated." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

In Liaodong is different from other land boundaries, now many Han people cultivate here, although the field is heavy, but after all, it can still be maintained, because it is too vast and sparsely populated, the acres of land are still relatively easy to obtain, although it is rented, but it is not easy to obtain the acres of land rented in Daming, which is also the reason why many Han people fled to Liaodong from Shandong and Dongjiang, and they can't live anymore, so let's break through.

Therefore, they are now extremely protective of Jiannu's rule, to fight in Liaodong, just like to the enemy's territory, these people will give Jiannu a message, will help Jiannu attack the Ming army, so here the Ming army can hardly be on the people, can only send troops from behind to escort and transfer, then if it is an active attack, a large number of people and slow-moving infantry will consume a large amount of grain and grass, and Jiannu's large cavalry can aim at the grain and straw and wait for the opportunity to sneak attack, cut off the grain and grass of the Ming army.

Of course, unless you have an army of hundreds of thousands, the one who escorts the grain and grass is also the main force, but no one can support how much grain and straw it has to consume, and the same is true for chariots.

Therefore, only the cavalry can move quickly, fight if you want to fight, go if you want to go, and be flexible, so there is no large number of strong cavalry, then there is no way to kill the enemy, only the elite cavalry and the infantry army that can ride horses can be combined together to achieve things.

"What Lord Zhao said is extremely true." Zhang Pan smiled and nodded, he said in his heart, it seems that this Zhao Lie is not carried away by a few big victories.

"If Lushun is in hand, you can contain a large part of Jiannu's troops, otherwise the southern and eastern parts of Jiannu will be at ease, and they can go all out to enter Kou Daming." Zhao Lie said in his heart, I'm not so stupid, and now I'm plunging into Liaodong, which is self-defeating.

Zhao Lie knew that his victories were all prophetic and prescient, and he was caught off guard by fighting Jiannu in the territory where he had an advantage, but when he entered Liaodong, that is, the infantry army faced more than 100,000 iron cavalry, and the heart of the army would be in chaos if the grain and grass were cut off, and no one could control the situation.

Unless the Broken Army can all be turned into tens of thousands of cavalry to go on the expedition, it is better to forget it.

"My lord, you are still safe and sound." A general strode up, shouting and saluting.

"Fortunately, haha, if it weren't for Lord Zhao leading the reinforcements to arrive, I would have begged for it, Guochang, how about Dongcheng." Zhang Pan laughed.

The person who came was Zhu Guochang, who was guarding the west city and resisting the feint attack with the red flag.

"Xicheng is unharmed, the red flag is just the Han army attacking the city, the Jiannu armor soldiers did not fight at all, and they shrank their heads in the back, so it can be seen that even Yue Tuo is a joke about seeing the blue flag." Zhu Guochang took a sip.

"This is the commander of Denglai Dusi Zhao, who led thousands of reinforcements to rush thousands of miles, and this Lushun town guard general Zhu Guochang." Zhang Pan introduced the two of them.

After the two of them saw the salute, Zhu Guochang said in a loud voice, "Lord Zhao, these soldiers are all your family members, I heard that the Zhao family is rich and has thousands of family members, I don't know if it's true." ā€

Zhao Lie took a look, yes, this Zhu Guochang is also a bastard, how can he mention the Zhao family's nonsense outside when they meet, and besides, it seems that we are not so familiar with each other, so I will tell you everything.

"Exactly, exactly." Zhao Lie said perfunctorily.

"No wonder, tsk, look at such a strong person, no wonder Lord Zhao has repeatedly defeated Jiannu, and none of them have failed." Zhu Guochang smacked his tongue.

"Nonsense, there are many elite soldiers, and there must be no courage to fight, I Lushun does not have so much money to build elite soldiers, and the armor is not complete, and the fight with Jiannu is still not ambiguous, Lord Zhao took the initiative to ask Ying to come to Lushun this time, which shows his loyalty and righteousness, and it cannot be ignored." Zhang Pan made a blank face and said angrily.

"Yes, yes, what Lord Zhang said is that my old Zhu is a rough person, don't blame Lord Zhao." Zhu Guochang smiled and arched his hand, without the appearance of a third-grade general.

Zhao Lie will observe that this Zhu Guochang is also a rectum, so he is so good-looking.

At this time, the guards sent by Zhang Pan to the south of the east city reported that the red flag of the east city Jiannu was just approaching the city and firing arrows, and there was no siege, it was a feint, and the defenders were 700 people and more than 100 people were slightly injured.

Half of the 1,000 soldiers in Nancheng were killed, and the guerrilla general Wang Cheng was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and has not woken up yet.

Zhang Pan looked up to the sky and sighed, the Lushun soldiers were injured this time, and even his descendant Wang Cheng was uncertain about his life and death.

"Lord Zhang doesn't need to worry about it," Zhao Lie pointed to the corpses of the Jin army under the city, "The loss of Jiannu will not be less." ā€

"Alas, most of them are Han army flags, and there are not many armor soldiers," Zhang Pan said fiercely, he hated the Han army of the Han army flag now, and he was really a good eagle dog of Jiannu.

"Lord Zhang, how about you see how the Jiannu soldiers and generals will be sent to Lord Zhang to regroup." Zhao Lie saw Zhang Pan and said with a sad smile, of course Zhao Lie did not hesitate to help a general like Zhang Pan who dared to fight with Jiannu.

"What Lord Zhao said is true." Zhang Pan was overjoyed when he heard this, and his words were out of tune.

"Lord Zhao promised in front of so many soldiers, how can he regret it, do you say, Lord Zhao." Zhu Guochang was afraid that Zhao Lie would not count what he said, so he hurriedly interjected.

He deliberately raised his voice so that the nearby soldiers could hear it, just to make this matter clear and implemented.

Zhao Lie only discovered at this time that this Zhu Guochang looked rude, but he was actually extremely shrewd, and he was also a master who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger.

"Of course, since the general said it, of course he will not regret it, the general respects Lord Zhang and Lord Zhu for ten years, blocked the Jiannu soldiers in Lushun, and saved the last city of the Ming Dynasty in southeast Liao, how dare you deceive the two." Zhao Lie said solemnly.

Zhang Panhu's eyes were slightly red, and he didn't say anything, but just arched his hand, all without saying a word.

Zhu Guochang was flushed, he arched his hand and choked up, "Thank you Lord Zhao, the lower officials are also helpless, thank you Lord Zhao, alas, Lushun is difficult." ā€

Zhao Lie hurriedly comforted the two of them with kind words.

The next thing was that Zhao Lie felt embarrassed, because Zhenfu reported the casualties of the Broken Army.

The Breakers lost 219 killed and 426 wounded, of whom 126 were seriously wounded, and there must have been serious wounded among them who could not support tomorrow, so it was possible that nearly 300 people were killed in this way.

Zhang Pan and Zhu Guochang, who were listening on the side, comforted a few words, but Zhu Guochang's persuasion sounded laughable, "Lord Zhao doesn't have to care too much, the soldiers under our command of Lushun have lost nearly 2,000 in battle, and Lord Zhao has only suffered hundreds of casualties, so don't care too much." ā€

Zhao Lie couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, are you sure you are comforting me and others, not ridiculing. (To be continued.) )
