Liu Zeqing, who suffered a loss, immediately suggested to Wang Dalun that it was better to go ahead by himself, he was familiar with the road and could lead the way. Wang Dalun didn't have much idea about this, Liu Zeqing saw that Wang Dalun agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally could eat normally, the military stove was too unpalatable, especially the steamed buns, which were hard enough to beat the dog.

Originally, Liu Zeqing also wanted to follow Wang Dalun's example and buy all the things on the market when he passed by, but he looked at his wallet and gave up, anyway, he can fish and meat, and the big-headed soldiers still have to nibble on the hard steamed buns that can beat dogs, add some pickles, and the taste is still good!

Unexpectedly, only two days later, Liu Zeqing came to Wang Dalun again with a straight face, he made a suggestion, it was better to go back by himself, Wang Dalun nodded and agreed. Liu Zeqing breathed a great sigh of relief in this regard, and he made up his mind that he must be two hours behind Wang Dalun.

Speaking of this, Liu Zeqing is full of grievances, you Wang Dalun is rich, but you can't spend it like this! You just need to do a good job in your own life, how can you spend so much money on the soldiers. The soldiers eat some steamed buns and pickles, this is the best food, you don't do that!

Every time the gang is opened, there will be the smell of oil on the opposite side, and the opposite side also eats meat from time to time, so that their soldiers have to smell a few more times every time before they continue to gnaw on this steamed bun. Now some people among the soldiers have made a fuss, saying that they are all soldiers, how can people eat meat, and they can't even see the oil star.

In this regard, Liu Zeqing is on fire, the military salary is not much, and does he still want to live? Is it easy to eat some empty wages by yourself, and you have to support your own soldiers? This is not money, you big-headed soldiers want to eat meat, you can't eat me poor?

So Liu Zeqing came out of sight, he made up his mind, I will go behind, and when you finish eating, I will arrive slowly, so that the soldiers can't see it, and there won't be so much complaint.

But what he didn't expect was that although the soldiers couldn't see it. But when they were eating, they were discussing with each other what Wang Dalun's group was eating. Everyone is desperately imagining, and they won't stop without teasing their saliva. And gradually some of them even said that if Wang Dalun became the chief soldier, would he be able to eat meat.

Rumors about this among the soldiers. Liu Zeqing was secretly annoyed for a long time. These bastards. Just know how to eat! However, he hated Wang Dalun even more, he thought that this person was too ill-intentioned, and he relied on these shady small means to dig his own corner.

After the team arrived at Wuzhou Mansion. Liu Zeqing's team finally ate the meat, but it was not Liu Zeqing's kindness, and the local government saw their arrival and specially came out. Because Kong Youde made too much trouble, the local officials had long been looking forward to the army coming to suppress it.

Shandong soldiers finally had meat to eat, and they all let go of their belts and ate a lot, and they didn't even let go of a little oil star in the bowl after the last time, and they added it cleanly. And Wang Dalun's group training is left a lot, they dislike this cook is not doing well, and the Shandong soldiers are not polite when they see it, and they all bring it over and eat it clean.

When Liu Zeqing saw it, his face turned red, he was angry that his subordinates were not angry, didn't he just eat meat? It's such a shame, haven't you eaten it for a few years? But Liu Zeqing thought about it, he really hasn't eaten meat for more than a year, when was the last time he ate it? It seems that when I first became a general!

Just when Liu Zeqing was secretly blushing, Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, spoke: "Two generals, we have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, after the battle of Denglai, only 100 people of the Ming army survived, we desperately asked for help, but there was no news, I thought the court gave us up!" ”

Zhu Wannian's words made Wang Dalun's face red, and Liu Zeqing said with a grin: "The imperial court will not forget you, but the opinion of the imperial court is that it will Qi Liaodong and other departments, and then attack at the same time, we are just the first reinforcements." ”

When Zhu Wannian heard this, his heart was half cold, and the two of them were reinforcements, and the other troops would arrive later, thinking that Kong Youde and other troops were already preparing supplies and preparing to besiege Laizhou Mansion, could they stay with such a few people?

Wang Dalun looked at Zhu Wannian's face, and then asked in a deep voice: "Does the prefect of Zhu Governor's Mansion have many soldiers and horses now?" ”

Zhu Wannian groaned and said: "After the Battle of Dengzhou and the Battle of Denglai, there are probably more than 10,000 soldiers who took the initiative to take refuge or captured, plus the previous strength of the Confucian thieves, as well as the people recruited later, there are now 40,000 people!" ”

"40,000 people, well, my team has 15,000 people, and General Liu Shen has 10,000 people, how many defenders are there in the city now?" Wang Dalun began to calculate the strength in his hands.

"Nearly 6,000 people, plus Minzhuang, about 145,000!" Zhu Wannian did the math and gave his own figures.

Wang Dalun calculated and said: "Enough, our number is not much less than that of the Kong thieves, and we can fight!" ”

When Zhu Wannian heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "General Wang, are you going to fight?" We have a lot fewer people than each other, so there's no chance of winning! It's better to think about it in the long run! ”

When Liu Zeqing heard that he was going to fight, he also shook his head into a rattle, he glared at Wang Dalun and said, "Do you think Sun Yuanhua really asked you to fight?" He can't protect himself now, so he just transferred the two of us over to help defend the city, and now the DPRK and China have no conclusion on whether to suppress or appease, and you don't have any reinforcements at all when you fight! ”

"I know the way!" Wang Dalun lowered his head, calculated the strength of the two sides, and said softly.

"Do you know that Lu Dao still does this? I tell you, don't pull me if you want to die, I won't fight you, I want to fight yourself! ”

Liu Zeqing said angrily, in his opinion, going out of the city to fight, this is looking for death, if it weren't for the fear that Wang Dalun would lose and he couldn't defend Laizhou City alone, he would have let Wang Dalun go out of the city and die, so he wouldn't have kindly persuaded him.

Wang Dalun raised his head, looked at Liu Zeqing and said, "When did I say that I wanted you to go out of the city with me to fight?" You defend the city well, don't let people take the city, I can handle the battle alone! ”

"What?" Liu Zeqing jumped up in surprise, he pointed at Wang Dalun's nose and said loudly: "You fight alone, just rely on your group training?" You're not enough people! It doesn't matter if you die, don't bother me, how can I defend this city alone when you die? ”

Wang Dalun scolded unhappily: "I haven't even left the city yet, you curse me, what do you mean?" Didn't I die as you wanted? Rest assured, if you want me to die, it's hard! On the contrary, you have to defend the city for me, if I lose it, I will really be played to death! ”

"If you want to die, go ahead! Lao Tzu will lock down the city from tomorrow! I'm telling you, you failed and escaped, but don't want me to open the door and let you in! Liu Zeqing threatened loudly, he wanted Wang Dalun to dispel this crazy idea, he didn't want to die!

"Don't worry! You'll open the door, but it's not that I'm defeated and open the door to contain me, and if I'm defeated, I'd rather die outside than go into the city! Wait for me to come back victorious to meet me. Wang Dalun said lightly, in his words, he was full of confidence.

Zhu Wannian shook his head, he also recognized Liu Zeqing's judgment, Kong Youde and others are the Liaodong Army, they have been fighting with Houjin all the year round, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and after breaking through Dengzhou, all the firearms troops that Sun Chengzong painstakingly developed fell into the hands of Kong Youde, and there are more than 20 cannons alone, which should not be underestimated!

On the other hand, Wang Dalun only has 15,000 people in his hands, and it is still a regimental exercise, a regimental training, and he will beat those peasant troops who have just put down their hoes. Hey, it's really hairless, and it's not good to do things! This man is young, he is arrogant, and he is stubborn!

Although he was very dissatisfied with Wang Dalun's arrogance in his heart, Zhu Wannian still said in a harmonious voice: "General Wang, you are still young, don't be hot-headed, Kong Youde is really difficult to deal with, you see how many troops have been folded in the imperial court, and how many generals have lost their lives or gone to prison." Don't be rash! ”

Wang Dalun didn't listen to the advice of the two at all, thinking that he was all a firearms unit, the guns in his hands were more advanced than the other party's, his team was also strictly trained, and he also had a good thing of grenades, although there were only a thousand rounds, but it was enough for the other party to drink a pot.

Also, there are 5,000 cavalry in his hands, and the combat effectiveness of these 5,000 cavalry is much higher than that of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry does not dare to say that they defeated the Manchu cavalry with the same number, right? I remember that the defeat of Shahe behind Kong Youde was attacked by the Liaodong cavalry.

However, history has changed a little, Sun Yuanhua was captured during the Battle of Dengzhou according to history, and then was punished by the imperial court, but this time he was fine, and did not lead troops to relieve the siege of Dengzhou. Therefore, he was still the governor of his Dengzhou and Lai, presiding over the encirclement and suppression of Kong Youde.

Thinking about the advantages in his hands, Wang Dalun still firmly believes that he can succeed, and the 3,000 British troops in later generations can defeat the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he also has muskets in his hands, so there is no reason why he can't defeat Kong Youde's primitive firearms troops.

"Thank you both for your kindness! Wang got it, but I still have to decide to fight! Ladies and gentlemen, please drink this wine, and when I return victorious, we will drink again! Wang Dalun raised the wine glass in his hand and said to the two.

An arrogant fool! If you want to find death, then fulfill you, I thought it was my strong opponent, but it seems that I look down on you! Liu Zeqing raised his wine glass and thought faintly.

Zhu Wannian looked at the high-spirited Wang Dalun, and sighed in his heart, hey, people are very brave, but they are just a little stupid and can't distinguish the situation, so it's okay! It seems that this glass of wine is the last sip you will drink, and it should be regarded as a send-off bar! (To be continued......)
