Chapter 1315: The East Bank of the River
For Phi Dao, the arrival of the fleet this time made Phi Dao's strength increase again, and the fleet brought the grain, grass and money that Phi Dao urgently needed, with these, even now when the crops have not been confiscated, Phi Dao has a stock of grain, and the treasury of knives, guns, bows and arrows has become sufficient, and then, the ships took away the population, and the women and children who are useless for Phi Dao have taken away a lot this time, and they have all given a price, which not only reduces the burden on Phi Dao, but also makes Phi Dao make a small fortune.
Before leaving, the fleet steward said very clearly, next time there will be a lot of ships, the cargo is one thing, the more important thing is to the population, the price is easy to say, Mao Wenlong probably calculated, if you want to earn enough benefits, and maintain the strength of Dongjiang Town, then you have to collect more people, how to collect? Now it is not enough to contain the exiles, we must take the initiative to attack and break the villages of the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong and Liaonan, and bring out those willing Liaodong soldiers and civilians!
This is a fortune and a benefit, now Dongjiang Town has surplus grain, and the equipment is also new, it is time to act like this, Mao Wenlong and his subordinates said very clearly: "This time, if you can break the Tartar captivity, behead and win, and then report to the court, now the world is in danger, it is the time to employ people, and I will not worry about the future of wealth." ”
The generals of Dongjiang Town on Phi Island were excited by Mao Wenlong's words, they fled from all over Liaodong to Phi Island, where they struggled to survive, and collected the fleeing Liaodong soldiers and civilians, and did have the ideal of recovering Liaozhen in their hearts, but in the same way, they also want to be famous and rich, in this troubled times, they used to be ordinary military households and students, in order to do the general army, deputy generals, staff generals and guerrillas, it turned out that their foundation was in Phi Island, it was impossible to leave, but now according to the news brought by the merchants, that Xuzhou defeated the Ming Dynasty, at this time, The imperial court must be employing people, if everyone makes contributions, the imperial court will definitely receive such a power to the center for use, and then everyone's position will be really rich.
As for the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong who are sinking in the fire and water, of course they will not care, they feel that if they can master greater forces and come again, it will be better than the current effect, Mao Wenlong's advocacy, so that the generals can convince themselves, but also others.
"I see that the Xuzhou army of Nalaoshzi is only active near the port, and there is no idea of going deep into the island, there should be no plans, let's prepare our own, send troops in mid-July, take Zhenjiang Fort and Lian Castle, and then besiege Phoenix City, and collect all the people around it."
"Now it's time to let the various squads operating outside collect information, and let the inner ones hiding on the side of the Tartar be active, we have to know ourselves and the enemy."
"Go and buy news from the Koreans, and ask those maritime merchants to borrow ships, it is more convenient to have their big ships."
After making a decision, Mao Wenlong began to plan intensively, before making this decision, Mao Wenlong first determined that there was nothing abnormal in the Xuzhou garrison, and then dared to act, now the battle with the Jianzhou Jurchen is not like the beginning, only dare to harass and dare not touch, there is no tenfold strength and dare not do it with the other party, now less than five hundred, as long as there are more people than the other party, then dare to fight, and do not fall behind, of course, in the territory of Liaodong and southern Liaoning, the Jurchen force is relatively weak, and the Phi Island side has an advantage, It is difficult to encounter a force of more than five hundred people.
The reason why I chose to start at this time is because in June and July, all over the Guanwai, whether it is Jianzhou Jurchen or Goryeo, is the joint where the grain stocks are about to run out last winter, and the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, there is naturally no way to make a big move, and Phi Dao has a certain accumulation through trade and maneuvering, which is a good opportunity for the enemy to be weak and I am strong.
This time, Dongjiang Town blocked the news from Xuzhou, and borrowed the boat only to send grain to Jinzhou, at this time, everyone in Yunshan was keeping an eye on Yunshan, Phi Dao was not big, and there was no cover for the merchants from Xuzhou, and they were allowed to go in and out, but now they can only move near the port, fortunately, Luo Chen and Zhao Song are not dissatisfied.
After getting the support of maritime trade, the improvement of the strength of Dongjiang Town is comprehensive, the original spies who went to the ground of Liaozhen were on foot, and only set up fast horses at a few key nodes, but this way to transmit the news is very delayed, and the response is often not timely, now there are horses to ride, purchased in North Korea, and a small amount of capture, with a rapid military report, the certainty of winning the battle is also much greater.
The 30-mile river bank along the Yalu River to the south from Goryeo Uiju is the key area of Donggang Town's horse exploration and inspection, and Goryeo's armament is extremely weak, although it is said that the Ming Dynasty is the father, and the son cannot betray the father, but in fact it does not help each other in the war and hostility, or with the ability of Goryeo, it can not help anything if it wants to help, and can only rely on Donggang Town itself to guard and investigate, and the river surface of Goryeo Uiju to the south is about 25 to 30 miles, which is the narrowest river surface of the Yalu River, and it is the easiest and easiest to cross the river here, so it is necessary to be strictly vigilant.
The scouts of Donggang Town of Phi Island went ashore on the side of Tiesan County in North Korea, went west along the flat terrain of the coast, and then went north along the river after reaching the Yalu River, and at a place about 20 miles away from Yiju was the place of the handover and confluence.
The six detectives came to the place where they usually converged, and a few hundred steps ahead was the Yalu River, which was originally a place for the Goryeo military to cultivate, but now it has been deserted and abandoned, because this Yalu River is the place where the Jianzhou Jurchens and Dongjiang Town soldiers pulled and saw, and the Jianzhou Jurchens didn't care that this was Goryeo territory, and Goryeo had no ability to stop it, so they could only hide away so as not to be affected, which is why they supported Dongjiang Town.
Everyone came to the edge of the grove near the abandoned village, tied up their mounts, took dry food and began to eat, multigrain pancakes, pickled vegetables and dried fish, the food was quite good, this is also because of the trade with Xuzhou, in the past, if you came out, you can only bring one to two days of dry food, and the rest are self-raised, the so-called self-raising, is nothing more than looting and begging from the farmers of Goryeo villages along the way.
"After eating, leave one person to sentry, and the rest hold on for a while, the commander is going to use soldiers, we can't be vague about running in front!" The general flag who led the team commanded, and everyone below shouted in response.
Someone went to pack up and feed the horses, and someone sat there and hesitated, and asked in a low voice: "Boss Guo, they all said that the Xuzhou rebellion has wiped out most of the officials and troops in the pass, what should we do next, do we want to fight with this Xuzhou people, or that?"
"Fight, fight a bird, don't you see the Xuzhou soldiers on the edge of the port, just like those handsome guards, hundreds of elites with iron all over their bodies, and they still have fucking cannons in their hands, how can we fight? Besides, the food and everything are in the hands of Xuzhou, and the mother and son have been sent to the sea, do you want to starve to death, or do you want to be destroyed? The general flag asked unceremoniously, and the person who asked the question was stammering, and he laughed silently, and several other people opened their eyes, and they were also very interested in this topic.
"Hurry up and sleep, hurry up and sleep, it's not our turn to worry about these things, there is a handsome handsome! Let's just fight with the Tartars, kill one is enough, kill two and earn! The general banner surnamed Guo said in a muffled voice, and the others nodded heavily, and those who fled to Dongjiang Town and dared to make a living as a scout and cavalry were all deeply hated by the Jianzhou Jurchens.
But it is not easy to fall asleep immediately, just now discussing these heart-stirring things, everyone is here to close their eyes and ponder, galloping here, everyone is tired, silent for a while sleepiness wells up, dazed about to sleep, at this time, but heard the neighing of horses, everyone is awake, and then heard dense footsteps.
As a scout and sentry detective, he experienced a lot of dangerous scenes, and immediately reacted, several people turned over and stood up, holding weapons in their hands, needless to say, they knew that there was an enemy attack.
"It's a Tartar!" Someone shouted angrily, although the person who rushed out was wearing the uniform of the Goryeo people, the hat on his head had already fallen off, revealing the hairstyle of the money rat tail, and he was a soldier of the Jianzhou Jurchen!
But as soon as they stood up, they heard the roar of the sky, several arrows shot from everywhere, three people were caught off guard, the arrow fell to the ground, the consciousness of Guo Zongqi dodged, but was hit by the arrow in the shoulder, Jianzhou Jurchen shot heavy arrows with a big bow, the arrow cluster is thicker and heavier than the longbow of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian horn bow is thicker and heavier, the arrow cluster into the body, immediately broke a big wound, blood gushed out, and the strength of the whole person quickly disappeared.
Guo Zongqi knew that he couldn't live, and the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers who rushed out from all over also knew that he couldn't live, a few people went to check on the others, and some people chased after the one who fled, and the one who fled looked at someone in front of him to stop him, knowing that he couldn't escape, he roared angrily and drew his knife and rushed up, but was blocked by the person in front of him, and was hit by iron bones behind him, and his skull was shattered.
Xiao Liu, who went to feed the horses, must have been more auspicious and less lucky, he was qualified to get on the boat after this errand, and specially said his daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect that Guo Zongqi's vision lying on the ground was just in the direction of the river, and he saw that the opposite side of the river was suddenly dusty, and many people put down the boat raft and were preparing to cross the river.
Guo Zongqi's eyes were already blurred, and a large amount of blood loss also made him on the verge of death, before he died, Guo Zongqi was just thinking about his younger brother, the two brothers fled to the mountain, and were searched by the Tartars, and when they were about to come to him, his younger brother ran out and led people away.
"This bastard is the way of the world," Guo Zongqi said at the end, and the Jurchen soldiers who came to mend the knife only saw that the mouth of the leader of the Ming army who was shot moved and did not hear any sound.
