"The news of Jiannu's southward movement has been confirmed, and the Dongjiang headquarters has also sent someone to inform it, but the news has not been delivered within a few days, and the only reinforcements that Lushun can count on are our Changsheng Island and the fire battalion. ”

Huangshi held an emergency army discussion, the first Lushun defensive battle was a great victory for the Ming army in Liaodong, and the subsequent Lushun Beishan Battle was also more than 10,000 people, and the Ming army won a field victory, not taking this opportunity to train the troops would not be him Huangshi.

Therefore, as soon as Huang Shi came up, he had to set the tone: "My firefighting battalion and the two battalions of Lushun Gangfeng and Xuanfeng belong to the Dongjiang Army, and we can't sit idly by and watch the friendly troops in trouble." ”

"My lord Mingjian, our army is not well armed," Zhao Slowxiong was only twenty years old, but he was heavy in the twilight, and he, as the president of Huangshi, Xi Qian, first objected.

He Baodao, who was one year younger than him, was a completely different kind of person: "Mr. Zhao Qian's words are not good, he is simply afraid of the enemy like a tiger! Well, Mr. Yang Qian, how many weapons does our army have?"

Huang Shi shook his head and also looked at Yang Zhiyuan, and Yang Zhiyuan, the head of the treasury, glanced at He Baodao first, and then reported: "Fifteen iron bows, one hundred and twenty-four armors, sixty-one iron spears, four hundred and fifty wooden spears in Baotou, and ...... long knives."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Slowxiong's face was faintly triumphant, and He Baodao spoke again: "My lord, I am willing to lead a hundred elite soldiers to reinforce Lushun." ”

"Nope. Huang Shilang said: "Send four hundred troops, I personally lead the team, He Qianzong, Jin Qian and Duncan accompany him, Zhao Qian and Yang Qian stay in the old camp of Changsheng Island." ”

"Your Excellency. He Baodao shouted, like thunder.

"Your Excellency. Zhao Wanxiong still refused to give up: "The armor is insufficient, the wooden spear is used for training, and I am afraid that there will be more damage from the humble position." ”

"An army with the will to fight can defeat Jiannu even with a wooden spear. Huang Shi quoted Duncan's words, the real army is fought, not raised, if the soldiers have no actual combat experience, then even if everyone is armed to the teeth, it may not be useful: "It's time for the sons and daughters to see blood, the general has already been decided, Zhao Qian doesn't need to say much." ”

A large number of soldiers are privately talking about Tessie the Prophet Duncan. Yellowstone had already secretly told him that this was inside information, and Duncan pretended to observe the starry sky for a long time, and vaguely predicted the battle in early March.

Yellowstone discussed with Duncan again before sending out the troops, and finally Duncan devised a strange ceremony, and the officers were not interested in this prayer work, but seeing that Yellowstone and Jin Qiude were very pious, they were reluctant to observe.

The successive defeats in Liaodong have dealt a great blow to the charm of the land father-in-law, the Bodhisattva and the Taishang Laojun, and Huangshi is determined to re-establish an image of boundless power, and the power of religion cannot be underestimated in this era, and he feels that this is definitely at the level of spiritual nuclear weapons.

The ceremony was carefully designed by Duncan, and it was indeed very contagious, and after this solemn prayer ceremony, some of the soldiers who had been indifferent also became a little excited. Seeing that everyone was so interested, Duncan shouted hoarsely: "The glory of God will surely shine on the pious General Huang, and this time General Huang will definitely return with honor and victory." Whether it's defending or attacking, Jiannu will suffer a shameful defeat!"

The soldiers were skeptical, and most of the officers were skeptical, except for Huang Shi and Jin Qiude, who happily said that they would surely add glory to God and prove that God's warriors were invincible.

Before leaving, Huang Shi arranged some work for Bao Jiusun, telling him that his main focus at present was still on fishing and hunting, and that cultivating land was only the third job.

Bao Jiusun built yì to raise ducks on the grounds that he could lay some duck eggs to eat.

"Isn't it good to raise chickens, chickens don't eat as much as ducks, and they lay more eggs. Huang Shi remembers that ducks like to run around, and from the perspective of energy conservation, it is still more efficient to raise chickens.

"Your Excellency is right, but raising chickens consumes a lot of manpower, and what chickens eat conflicts with the food of the soldiers. ”

"Ducks don't conflict?"

"My lord, let's let the ducks out and let them find something to eat on their own. ”

"Where to put it, and what to eat?"

"Put it on the beach and eat fish and shrimp. ”

There are a lot of fish and shrimp on the seaside, and there is simply not enough manpower to catch them all, and it is impossible to have such manpower to catch all the fish and shrimp, so that the ducks are equivalent to a group of soldiers engaged in fishing, and the duck eggs provided are simply for nothing.

A large number of soldiers began to dig up wild vegetables, and by March nearly 20,000 acres of land had been cleared and planted with corn and peanuts. Bao Jiusun told Huangshi that corn and peanuts have different root depths, so there will be no conflict when planted together, so one acre of land can be used as two acres.

After settling down in his hometown, Huangshi selected 500 soldiers, in addition to the 100 old subordinates who had been on the battlefield, he also brought more than 400 model soldiers who had won medals.

The fire battalion arrived in Lushun earlier than the main force of the Later Jin, and the former army of the Later Jin was conducting reconnaissance around Fort Arthur while waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

The Dongjiang guerrilla and Lushun governors did not wear a black gauze official uniform to greet Huangshi this time, Zhang Pan, who was dressed in military uniform, personally waited for Huangshi's boat at the port, and when the boat slowly docked, his greeting came: "General Huang, don't come to harm?"

"General Lao Zhang is worried," Huang Shi jumped ashore from the small boat lightly and walked side by side with Zhang Pan: "How is the enemy situation now?"

"The forests around Lushun have been cut down, and Jiannu is building siege equipment behind Beishan. Since Zhang Pan was stationed in Lushun, he also committed a crime that Greenpeaceists hated, and he swept away the vegetation around Lushun with the principle of cutting if he could, and burning if he couldn't clean it.

In this way, if the Houjin army wants to build a camp, it will need to start construction dozens of miles away to build lookouts and ladder towers, which not only greatly increases the transportation pressure, but also leaves more warning time for the Ming army.

"General Huang is really noble. Zhang Pan suddenly burst out with a sentence.

Although this word Huangshi was almost cocooned in his ears, this cold praise still made him stunned for a moment: "General Zhang Miaozan, you and I are serving under the tent of Mao Junmen, and it is also a matter of duty to come to reinforce it." ”

Since the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army has never succeeded in holding the city once, and at this time, the Ming generals regarded the positions of general soldiers and deputy generals outside the Guanhai as death. A general like Huang Shi who is bent on going out is of course brilliant. He knew that Lushun was in danger this time, and he planned to take the opportunity to train his troops, and there was almost no psychological pressure.

But Zhang Pan didn't see it that way at all, he had a very good impression of Huangshi, and after seeing the equipment of Huangshi's subordinates, he secretly admired it, he pointed to Huangshi's wooden spearmen and smiled: "General Huang heard that Lushun was in danger, so he personally brought these soldiers to help Zhang, if he was in a different place, Zhang would never be able to do it." ”

As the last bridgehead of the Ming army in Liaodong, Lushun has continuously absorbed the equipment of the Ming army fleeing south for more than a year since the fall of Guangning, and there are also considerable reserves in the treasury of Fort Arthur, and there are still hundreds of people's armor and weapons.

"When General Huang passed through Lushun last time, he left behind the equipment and horses of more than 100 cavalry, and today Zhang will return to his original owner. In addition, Zhang was also willing to send a batch of equipment to General Huang to repay virtue. Zhang Pan asked Huang Shi to hurry up and exercise the old cavalry department, after all, they had not ridden a horse for almost a year.

"So, thank you General Zhang. "Huangshi doesn't shirk it, it's really a good person with a good reward.

Zhang Pan smiled slightly: "General Huang's words are serious, this is the time for you and me to stand together to defend against the enemy, thank you for coming and thanking you too much." ”

Lushun Governor Si Zhang Pan is also a person who has been a guerrilla general since he was only in his twenties, and he was able to climb to this position from a small soldier in such a short period of time, not only because he was a close confidant who followed Mao Wenlong to the sea. Huang Shi has been very moved by the danger to come to his aid, and at the moment of the great enemy, Zhang Pan must also arm every soldier as much as possible. Otherwise, Fort Arthur will be breached, and all the inventory will be built by slaves, not to mention, and their lives will not be saved, and this abacus can still be cleared.

Lushun now has two battalions and about 3,500 soldiers, including 1,200 soldiers and 2,300 auxiliaries. After Huang Shi entered the fort with 500 men, every Ming officer and soldier they saw shouted at them, and the experience of repeated defeats of the Ming army seemed to have no effect on these soldiers.

More than 3,000 Ming troops sharpened their guns one by one, as if they were eager for the Jin army to arrive immediately. When Zhang Pan selected soldiers, he deliberately left behind those who had a grudge against Houjin, and sent a large number of ordinary civilians away.

The victories of the Later Jin in Liaodong not only did not make the Ming army here frightened, but aroused their bravery, and after hearing that the Later Jin moved south, the Ming army in Fort Arthur became more and more excited, waiting to repay the blood debt from their enemies.

After the test of the harsh winter ice, Huangshi's subordinates have been very full of morale, which makes several officers of Huangshi very proud, after seeing the warm scene of Lushun, Jin Qiude said to Huangshi with some loss: "My lord, the morale of Lushun is on par with our army." ”

"There is a saying in the art of war: the guest army does not move forward, and the column does not stand in the center. The morale of our unit is comparable to that of the Lushun Army, which should make you proud. "After all, the guest army is not defending its base like the main army, so the morale of the guest army cannot be compared with the main army, which is a military consensus. In this way, whether it is defending or attacking, most of the guest troops are used as reserves or flank cover.

"What's more, every soldier in this Lushun Army has a personal enmity with Houjin, which is not comparable to our department. "Yellowstone doesn't intend to sustain the period entirely on hatred, he personally thinks that this kind of thing doesn't last and tends to make soldiers irrational. Since he had the time and conditions that he didn't have, Yellowstone wanted his army's morale to be based on discipline and belief in victory, as well as the magic of religion.
