Chapter 223: Reinforcements Arrive

The fragrance permeated the entire camp, and even every household in the village smelled this appetizing fragrance.

The officers and men of the Qianhai battalion took out the dry rations and bacon stored in the general, and the Luzon Ming army also put the whale dried meat and dried fish carried by the group into an iron pot.

The people who came to smell the smell also took out the only remaining vegetables and grains at home and put them into an iron pot to cook together.

After a while, an even richer fragrance filled the air, making people whet their appetite.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the Ming army not only has the best firearms in the world, but even the food in this army is also the best in the world!" Looking at the billowing steam rising from the iron pot, Li Shi applauded again and again.

This period of getting along made him completely obedient to the Ming Court of Luzon.

The Ming people who also went south to the South Seas and went to Luzon not only had firearms and weapons far stronger than themselves, but even their daily life and diet surprised these Dongpu Ming people.

Who would have thought that a Zheng army team that was in distress in Luzon would now be able to eat three meals a day.

The soldiers of the Qianhai camp only had two meals a day, and after this period of time, the officers and men of the Qianhai camp found that this group of Ming soldiers actually wanted three meals a day, from breakfast to lunch to dinner, and they did not lose a single meal, which made the officers and soldiers of the Qianhai camp envious.

Of course, during the siege of the city, the food of the Ming army also dropped a lot, and they could only keep their stomachs full, but the Ming army still divided the food into three meals in the morning, noon and evening.

Soon the water in the cauldron finally boiled, and the steaming steam rose into the air.

The Ming people present added firewood and fanned the fire, and there was no need for the Ming soldiers to do it.

Seeing that it was finally time to eat, the soldiers present scooped up the broth in the iron pot and distributed it to the residents present.

"Brother Lin, I salute you for this cup." Li Shi raised his wine glass and said to Lin Xu.

"If there was no general to lead the soldiers to help the Qianhai camp, my camp would have been broken by the Fanren."

"This time, although our army attacked the camp of the Fan army at night and broke the army, everyone knows that without the help of your Ming army, this battle will definitely not be so easy, this glass of wine, I will thank the general on behalf of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Qianhai camp." After Li Shi finished speaking, he drank it all.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I'm not a general yet." Lin Xu hurriedly waved his hand, he was indeed not a general, just a small co-chairman, and he had to laugh at Li Shi's title.

The largest establishment of the Ming army is the general town, and the main town consists of several towns and battalions, each town has a town general and a staff general, and then the chief and deputy co-president.

According to the rank of the Luzon Ming Army, Lin Xu has indeed not reached the level of a town general.

"Brother Lin, don't be modest, with your strategy, coupled with today's great achievements in Dongpu, when you return to Luzon in the future, it will not be a problem for officials to visit the generals." Li Shi said with a big grin.

Today, the soldiers in the village were also happy, and Lin Xu also smiled, "Then thank the general for his good words." ”

With that, Lin Xu raised his wine glass, raised his head and drank it all.

"Good wine, good wine, come and eat meat and eat meat."

The soldiers and people present ate with relish one by one, and the whole camp was full of laughter, which dispelled the panic and haze of the past in one fell swoop.

Just as the Ming army and the Fan army were resting under the city, more than 1,500 people from the left and right battalions of Liwu Town led by Yang Yandi also quietly arrived.

"Brother Yang has finally arrived." Looking at the army of Mei Di Ming outside the city, Chen Shangchuan cried with joy.

When the officers and soldiers defending the city saw reinforcements coming down from the city, they also cheered.

Looking at Nongnai City, Yang Yandi immediately ordered the army to camp five or six miles away.

Compared with the previous Ming Sea merchants who took the official road on land, this time the Ming army led by Yang Yandi traveled north along the Jiulong River.

Therefore, the speed was faster, and all the heavy grain and grass were transported by land and sea merchants by wooden boats and bamboo rafts by water, and after losing the burden of the grain and grass convoy, the Meidi Ming people traveled day and night, and finally arrived before the Fan people attacked the city again.

When Yang Yandi's army came to the city, the army was completely chaotic.

The siege of more than 20 days failed to conquer the Ming people's insistence on Nongnai City, but instead made the Ming people wait for reinforcements, and the loss of the army can be imagined.

Many generals have even begun to salute and prepare to withdraw from Nongnai City.

"Damn, how can these Mingren be so fast?" Looking at the banners and armies of the Ming people in the distance, the hidden Wu was angry.

"I didn't expect Meidi's Akito to really come to help." Ruan Youjing's face was pale, and he was sitting on a recliner at this time.

Before, when the firewood stick persuaded him to send troops to Dongpu, he also swore that the Ming people of Mei Di would not come to help, but it was only less than a month after the siege of the city, and the Ming reinforcements arrived, and they were still menacing.

After more than 20 days of siege warfare and a night raid a few days ago, the army had already suffered heavy casualties and low morale.

Looking at the camp of the Ming army in the distance, the heart of the Zhenla Fan army was completely shaken, and soldiers began to flee one after another, and the supervisor in charge of supervising the army even beheaded more than ten people but failed to stop the soldiers from escaping.

"General Ruan, the Ming reinforcements have arrived, what should our army do?" Hidden Wu has already lost the six gods, and said to Ruan Youjing in a panic.

All of his generals were ready to escape.

There was only one Mosin who was still faithfully guarding him.

At this time, Ruan Youjing had no idea.

"Now our army only fights to the death, the Ming reinforcements are only a thousand people, our army still has more than 2,000 people, and there are elephant artillery and Lu Gongche, and there may not be no chance of winning a war." Ruan Youjing said to Hidden Frog Wu with a firm face.

"What, fight with the Ming people again, our soldiers have lost more than 1,000 people in the past 20 days, and now the Ming reinforcements have arrived, and Nongnai City can no longer be captured, is it possible to die in vain in a bloody battle with the Ming people under the city?" Mosin retorted.

Several generals also objected.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Ming reinforcements have arrived, if our army withdraws without a fight, how about the Ming people taking the opportunity to attack when our army is withdrawing." Ruan Youjing looked at the Zhenla generals present with an unkind face.

"It's Zhenla who attacked the Dongpu Ming people today, and what should he do if the Ming people attack Zhenla with a grudge."

"If we withdraw our troops today, and the Ming people unite to send firewood sticks, then won't the generals present bring the calamity to Zhenla?" Ruan Youjing said.

"What do you mean?" Mosin's face also sank.

"If it weren't for your Quang Nam Ruan lord's letter to my king, how could the king send troops to Dongpu here to anger the Ming people, could it be that now Quang Nam is going to cross the river and tear down the bridge." Mosin asked.

"My lord will naturally not cross the river and tear down the bridge, but if you withdraw your troops today, the Ming people will inevitably attack Zhenla, and then the Ming people will attack the firewood sticks, and my Guangnan army will not be able to lead the army to help..."

Hidden Frog Wu's face stiffened, and he had long since lost his previous arrogance.

"Then it's up to the general."

Hidden Wu smiled helplessly and said to the generals present.

"If our army withdraws today, the Ming people will definitely pursue, and then the Ming people will enter Zhenla and break through the firewood, and Zhenla will have no place to wait."

The generals in the camp looked at each other, and finally had to choose to stay.
