The order went down like flowing water, and the entire old camp on Immortal Island was buzzing, and Huangshi's big tent was now like boiling water in a pot, and the voices of people were boiling.

Just when Huang Shi and a group of officers such as Jin Qiude and Zhao Slowxiong were arguing around the map, a herald flew in: "Lord Qiyu, the guerrilla has crossed the ice, has not encountered Jiannu resistance, and is sweeping the slave camps on the east coast. ”

The herald's report was like a thunderclap, and the tent fell silent in Yellowstone's ears. The staff officers all bowed their heads to the ground with shameful faces.

Several messengers from Golden State said in unison: "It's the same as our Golden State." ”

When he returned to the old camp, he drove to the gate until he flew off his horse and rushed into the tent, facing Huang Shi's cold gaze and shouted: "My lord, those Jiannu who built siege equipment - that is, the thousand unarmored auxiliaries who are hanging outside all day long seem to be the majority of the other side, and they all fled back to the fortress as soon as they saw our horse team dispatched. The last general encountered all the empty camps, and before they came back, they had already asked the sons to set fire. ”

"Hmm," Huang Shi snorted in annoyance, and there was really an urge in his chest to smash everything in front of him, but now......

"Right now, my Ming army in southern Liaoning is already in danger, and it may all be wiped out, and the cunning Jiannu!" What made Huang Shi angry and hateful the most was that he knew the history, but he was still concealed by the other party's arrangement.

He Dingyuan was stunned when he heard this: "Lushun Army ......"

"It's not the Lushun Army!" Huang Shi interrupted He Dingyuan with a loud shout, and slammed his fist on the map: "I'm talking about the Ming Army in Southern Liao, and I'm in danger of Changsheng Island!"

This loud roar made He Dingyuan shrink his neck, no longer speak, and followed to look at the map.

There were several soldiers of the Lushun Army who came to report the news, and they scattered as soon as they got off the ship to find people. Because most of the population of Changsheng Island had been transported away, and martial law had been imposed, they searched for a long time before they found this place. Yellowstone pointed to one of them. This soldier is a subordinate of the Jinzhou guard: "Their Jinzhou was also surrounded by Jiannu a few days ago, just like us. It was only yesterday that it was empty. ”

Since the presence of a large number of enemy troops, Jinzhou has been closed to the four gates, and it was not until yesterday that the routed soldiers of Fort Arthur came by boat to report the news, and one of them also came to Changsheng Island, and it was the second soldier who found the old battalion.

In the past few days, the Jin army has set up false banners on Changsheng Island and Jinzhou to deter the Ming army in the two places. Then crossed Jinzhou and approached Nanguan, forcing the defenders of Nanguan to also close their doors to protect themselves. At that time, the Ming army in Nanguan did not have too many worries, after all, after the grain route in Jinzhou was not opened, it was impossible for the Jin army to besiege it for a long time, and there was not enough time to build siege equipment.

After completing the above preliminary work, the Jin Army selected the elite to go south and drove straight into the hinterland of the Lushun Army. Although Zhang Pan was caught off guard, he immediately organized a defense. He also understood that if this kind of long-distance attack could not be decided, the Jin army would still have to obediently return to Jinzhou. As Zhang Pan expected, the Jin army could not attack Fort Arthur in a hurry, and the troops really retreated quickly. Zhang Pan saw that the Houjin army hurriedly retreated, and knew that the Houjin army had run out of food, so he hurriedly ordered the Lushun army in the fort to pursue, and successfully caught up with the enemy's rear team......

The soldier who had escaped from Lushun wept and recounted the fall of Lushun, and although he already knew all these Yellowstones, his heart was still painful when it was his turn to hear this tragic experience.

After Zhang Pan caught up, the whole army was a Han army. Those people said that they were forcibly recruited from the Han army, and most of them were villagers' self-defense forces in the villages.

Zhang Pan was convinced of this explanation, and when he saw the Houjin army retreating, he left them ruthlessly behind, so he comforted them and incorporated them into the Lushun military household......"

Huang Shi relayed what he had heard to He Dingyuan: "Who knew that these Han troops found an opportunity to rise up and tie up General Zhang Pan's Lushun army. The army of Jiannu went and returned. In one fell swoop, the Lushun army was wiped out, and then Fort Arthur was broken. ”

The soldier who followed the messenger to Changsheng Island and a few other companions found a boat and ran desperately to Jinzhou to report the news. The defenders of Jinzhou are now planning to hear that General Zhang Pan is not known for his life and death. Golden State is also already in turmoil.

"Thanks to them, we would still be in the dark now. Huang Shi praised the soldier again with encouragement, but he knew in his heart that in fact, with the current strength of the Ming army in southern Liaoning, it should not have suffered such a fiasco.

After all, there was still a gap between Huangshi and Zhang Pan, and when the Jin army came to Changsheng Island in a big way, no one from Huangshi or below would want to report Zhang Pan. In case a plate leads the army to reinforce Changsheng Island and repel the Houjin army, then Huangshi will not look good on the face, and there will be a favor.

In the same way, when Jinzhou was now the Jin Army, Lushun had been hiding from Changsheng Island, and Zhang Pan, like Huangshi, had his own little abacus. He thought that the existing shape shì was not bad, and that he would have a good chance of independently repelling the Hou Jin army. In fact, there was no big problem with his deployment, if it weren't for the betrayal by the Han army, the Jin army would still have to storm Jinzhou and be dragged into a war of attrition.

Of course, Zhang Pan will never surrender, at this time he should have been martyred, Huang Shi commented hatefully: "General Zhang is too merciful, always saying that it is excusable." The Battle of Lushun, the Battle of Liangkejinzhou, the Battle of Montenegro, and the tug-of-war in southern Liaoning for two years, General Zhang opened the net to the Han army prisoners, as long as he moved his lips and said repentance, General Zhang would let them go, so Jiannu calculated that General Zhang would still trust these beasts this time. ”

When all the officers heard this, they were silent, and He Dingyuan scolded: "Shamelessly, Jiannu fought in a dignified battle, and was invincible, and he used this kind of ghost trick.

I don't know if Zhang Pan will be full of anger when he is righteous, or if he still has no regrets about his past generosity. Huang Shi sighed secretly in his heart, and when facing the life-and-death war, he asked himself if he could not be merciful: "This kind of ploy is to kill General Zhang and put it on me, and exchange the grade for silver." Huang Shi looked at the thoughtful Wu Mu and said with a sneer: "Gonggong Wu, this is the reason why I don't leave a living mouth, there is no reason to talk about the traitors of the Han army!"

Although Wu Mu was always intriguing with Lushun out of his own interests, after hearing that the prince of the Lushun prison army had also died in his post, he also felt sad in his heart. He replied in a low voice: "General Huang is high." ”

The map marked the locations of Changsheng, Jinzhou, Nanguan, and Lushun, and after the leak, Huang Shi took a deep breath. Pointing to Jinzhou, he said: "Jinzhou is still stuck in the grain route of Jiannu, and the Jiannu near Jinzhou are also empty, and the camp has escaped, and the defenders of Jinzhou have not been present before, and will never let siege equipment and grain carts pass through Jinzhou Bay in the future." ”

Golden State has 1,005 soldiers of the Selective Forward Battalion. There were also more than 2,000 auxiliaries who assisted in defending the city, and it was a fortress that was not easy to storm underneath. But because of this, Nanguan and Lushun under Jinzhou are defenseless, too paralyzed. Huang Shi shook his head and swallowed his saliva: "The Gangfeng battalion in Lushun is over, and together with the Lushun water battalion and a large number of auxiliaries, at least 5,000 soldiers have been martyred." There are still 500 soldiers in the Xuanfeng battalion, and 7,000 auxiliary soldiers are building fortresses in Nanguan City. Around Nanguan, there are about 2,000 Jiannu soldiers. Because of the drag of these auxiliaries. The fort could not break through and the strength of the Golden State was not enough to break the siege. General Zhang's ten days' reserve of grain for Nanguan would have been sufficient. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Shi sighed again, if the Houjin army could not capture Jinzhou, ten days of food would indeed be enough. But now that the Houjin army has obtained the treasury of Lushun, it can support the long-term siege of Nanguan, and in a few days, the seven or eight thousand Ming troops in the city will starve.

"Jiannu is trying to break us from weak to strong. The weakest is Lushun, they have already taken advantage of General Zhang's weakness to succeed, and then Nanguan's weakness is that there is no food, and then it will be our turn to Changsheng Island. ”

After Huang Shi finished speaking. He Dingyuan was stunned and asked, "How can it be that my Immortal Island should be Jinzhou." ”

The soldiers from Jinzhou looked at He Dingyuan angrily, and they dared not speak out in anger.

Jin Qiude hurriedly added: "It is indeed our Changsheng Island Jiannu who took Nanguan and returned to Changsheng Island, if we don't fight, they will surround our old camp, and after the freeze period, we can still use Lushun's ships to transport grain, and we can also threaten Zhongdao." Our Immortal Island is no more defended than the fortress of Fort Golden State. ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan interjected and said: "We can dig ice, how many ships can Lushun have? Many of them may have escaped or burned down, and the last general does not believe that Jiannu dares to land 6 I Changsheng Island in batches at a time." ”

Huang Shi slapped the brush and paper on the table, and flew up one after another: "How can you pin your hopes on Jiannu and not grab the boat?" Yang Zhiyuan, you are so confused. ”

The deployment of Lushun does not need to think too much, and it is clear that Zhang Pan must concentrate the ships in Fort Arthur, so that he can transport grain and grass to Fort Jinzhou by sea, and Lushun has always been a hub port for transporting refugees from southern Liaoning, Liaodong and North Korea, and there will definitely be no shortage of ships.

After he had stopped drinking, Yellowstone exhaled again—it's all my responsibility, and not to be angry with anyone.

He adjusted his tone: "Even if Yang Guerrilla is right, it will be Jinzhou's turn to be unlucky, and even if Jiannu retreats and does not attack the 8,000 soldiers of Jinzhou Nanguan, plus the loss of Lushun, this is also an unprecedented fiasco for my Dongjiang army." "At this time, if Huangshi stays out of the way, it will inevitably make the Dongjiang army in Jinzhou cold, and it will also disappoint the Dongjiang colleagues, and besides, sit back and watch the nearly 8,000 friendly troops annihilated, which is not very sorry for them anyway.

If the Houjin army gets a large number of ships, the consequences will be unimaginable, Jinzhou has too few troops, and it is simply not enough to contain many Houjin troops, and within a few months, the Dongjiang headquarters will not be able to effectively support southern Liaoning, and it will be impossible to draw combat troops from the extremely stressed Liaodong front. Although Huang Shi did not think that he would be able to resist the onslaught of the Houjin army, the danger was too great, and the battle situation in southern Liaoning was on the eve of collapse.

To save others now is to save yourself.

"Yang guerrilla. ”

"The end will be. ”

"Ben will lead the fire battalion to attack with the whole army and go with the friendly forces in Jinzhou to relieve the siege of Nanguan. This general estimates that the Jiannu on the other side of Nanxinkou is a thousand people, but there are only 100 soldiers, and I want you to go down to the weapons in the treasury and stick to the old camp on Changsheng Island for a few days. ”

Yang Zhiyuan bowed and clenched his fists: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Looking at a room of silent people, Huang Shiqiang smiled: "Jiannu should be very tired from attacking Lushun in a hurry. Moreover, in order to conquer Nanguan, Jiannu needs to transport the grain from Lushun away, and they may also want to pull the ships away. These baggage movements were slow, and there were more than 100 miles from Lushun to Nanguan, and the Jiannu also had to sweep the remnants of the Ming army around Fort Arthur. It all takes time.

Therefore, Ben will estimate that the main force of Jiannu will return to the vicinity of Nanguan in five days. We'll go out in batches tonight. Within two days, the entire battalion of soldiers and equipment was transported to Jinzhou. There are 2,000 auxiliary soldiers in Jinzhou, so we don't need to transport them. The main force of Jiannu returned and relieved the siege of Nanguan, and then the whole army returned to Jinzhou, as long as Jinzhou did not lose Jiannu, it still had to go back and forth from where. ”

As long as the 8,000 Ming army in Nanguan can be rescued, it will still put considerable pressure on the Houjin army. The Ming army in southern Liaoning had the opportunity to respond, and the Dongjiang headquarters could also make diversionary actions or send reinforcements.

First came the Golden State.

"Reassure Jinzhou that he will immediately gather troops and send reinforcements to Jinzhou. Huang Shi tried his best to cheer up the soldiers in Jinzhou, and their panic made Huang Shi also very shocked, because it was enough to show that the Dongjiang army in Jinzhou had fallen into a state of madness, and he had to make Jinzhou as calm and morale as possible. The soldiers from Jinzhou immediately took a speedboat out of Yellowstone and told them to calm down the Jinzhou guards. Don't rush in or run away, and you must do a good job quickly, who is ready for time, the fire battalion cannot transport a large number of auxiliary troops, and you must take on all the logistical tasks when you go to Jinzhou.

After the soldiers of the Lushun Army left, Huang Shi followed closely and called the guards to pick up Guanglu and Changshan Island respectively, and sent letters: "Go and let Guanglu, Zhang Pan, guerrillas, and Mao Kexi of Changshan garrison, send out their water battalions, and make every effort to intercept all the ships going west from Lushun and then going north, if there is no one." Let their water battalion reinforce Changsheng Island and help me defend the old camp on Changsheng Island. ”

While listening, Zhao Slowxiong hurriedly said: "My lord has no right to give orders to Guanglu and Changshan. ”

Huang Shi nodded: "I have two letters on Changshan Island and Guanglu Island, the first letter is not an order, but a gentle word to comfort me, to the Guanglu guerrilla, Zhang Pan also made an analysis in the letter, his Guanglu will not be in much danger. However, the annihilation of the original Lushun Water Battalion is related to the life and death of my Liaonan Dongjiang Army, and the Changsheng Island Water Battalion cannot be transferred now, so I beg him to do his best to assist me. ”

Another letter was to Shang Kexi, the garrison of Dongjiang -- his real surname was Shang, and he was adopted by Mao Wenlong after his father died in the war, and now his name is Mao Kexi, who is stationed in the training water camp on Changshan Island at this time: "Mao Kexi's Changshan Island is not in danger of six battles, and he has been concentrating on training the Changshan Water Battalion for more than half a year.

"They are all Mao Shuai's direct subordinate troops, and they are ordered to defend Guanglu and Changshan, what if they don't listen to the dispatch of the adults?" Zhao Slowxiong's eyes rolled: "What the adults just said is 'there are two letters each', so what is the second one?"

"The first letter I just asked for help, but if I didn't listen...... I had to use it once. "Huang Shi instructed the heralds to distinguish the two letters clearly, and the second letter must be hidden, if the first letter has achieved its effect, then the second letter must not be taken out, because these two letters are written in the name of the military general who gave the silver arrow, and Huangshi's silver arrow can be managed, which is still gratifying.

Huang Shi instructed the man who was going to Guanglu Island: "If Zhang Pan does not obey the order, this letter is directly to the order of the governor of the Guanglu Water Battalion, and that military general is only a garrison level, so that he should obey the order of the imperial silver order and arrow, and immediately act according to the order in the letter." ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

After the soldiers left, Zhao Slowxiong hurriedly said: "Mao Kexi is not an adult's subordinate, but Mao Shuai's direct subordinate, it is not good to press him with silver arrows, in case Zhang Pan does not agree to skip the level...... This is not overstepping, it is commanding other people's subordinates, even Mao Shuai can't directly order it to Brother He. ”

Mao Wenlong theoretically has the right to directly order He Dingyuan, but if it really comes to that point, it means that there is already a big problem between Mao Wenlong and Huangshi.

"If Mao Shuai sends my men for no reason, I can impeach Mao Shuai and be domineering. And I didn't do it for nothing, and I have good reasons for today's behavior, which makes perfect sense. Yellowstone's first letter was of course pleading, but the tone in the second letter was very harsh. He warned Shang Kexi that if he did not obey orders, he would have contempt for the emperor and the imperial court. In another letter, Huang Shi also warned Zhang Pan not to interfere and obstruct the transfer of the water camp, otherwise Huang Shi would definitely impeach him to the imperial court and Dongjiang, and finally explicitly told Zhang Pan that Zhang Pan would be fully responsible if he disobeyed the orders of Huang Shi, who was armed with silver arrows, and caused the war in southern Liaoning to deteriorate.

Zhao Slowxiong also understands that this is a time of life and death. The shape shì was already a thousand jun, and he then reminded: "It's best to write to Dongjiang and explain to Mao Shuai first, I hope Mao Shuai can forgive the adult's overreach." ”

"Of course, I will write Mao Shuai immediately, and of course I can reprimand me, after all, I am overstepping my authority, but I believe that Mao Shuai will also understand. Let alone...... Even if Mao Shuai doesn't understand and must go to the book to impeach me, I have enough reasons to defend myself in the court. Huang Shi paused: "As long as I can save Liaonan, I can explain it." Otherwise...... Hey, hey, otherwise, there is an otherwise. ”

On the night of the 19th day of the first month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the soldiers of the fire-fighting battalion boarded the sea ship and marched to Jinzhou overnight.
