Chapter 94: Proud Soldiers
Zhang Zhilong shouted angrily: "Chen Donghua? Is he worthy? What qualifications does he have to impeach my Liaodong generals? ”
"Presumptuous!" Hong Chengchou burst into applause, and finally suppressed the differences in the hall.
Actually, Hong Chengchou also knows Zhang Zhilong.
Zhang Zhilong couldn't stand the imperial court's strict supervision of the Xuanfu army to deal with the Liaodong army.
As one of the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, the border town of Liaodong has a similar status to the border town of Xuanfu.
Therefore, the Liaodong army felt that the imperial court's move was a threat to the core interests of their border towns.
So Zhang Zhilong, who had a rough temper, was in a big mess.
Hong Chengchou stared at Zhang Zhilong and said, "Zhang Zhilong, Miao Liyuan." ”
"The last general!"
Miao Liyuan came out of the queue, waiting for the order with an expectant face.
Zhang Zhilong walked out reluctantly, and said dejectedly: "The end will be there." ”
"Ben Shuai will give you 10,000 elites, get out of the city quickly, and go to the north to support Jin Wuwei."
Zhang Zhilong smacked his lips and said unhappily: "Dashuai, depending on the general, we are the icing on the cake." If Lu Delin is really fine, it will inevitably ridicule us for competing for favor and merit in the past. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, the marshal has issued an order, and he ordered you to come forward quickly to respond, if Lu Delin is wrong, the marshal will ask your second general!"
Hong Chengchou's anger, which had been silent for a long time, finally broke out.
With the momentum of his angry shooting with the tiger talisman in his hand, Zhang Zhilong trembled, and no longer dared to collide with the handsome, turned around and went to his own military camp to command the five thousand elites out of Liaoyang City.
At the same time, Miao Liyuan also handpicked 5,000 elites, quickly went out of the city to join forces with Zhang Zhilong, and went straight to the Liaohe River.
At this moment, Zhang Zhilong felt aggrieved.
He admires Lu Jiajun very much in his bones.
I also have full admiration for Lu Delin.
But Zhang Zhilong still felt that Lu Delin was really too bold to fight like this.
Because 20,000 people appeared in front of the camp of Jiannu unconsciously.
Such a tactic has great benefits, but it is also not small.
Lu Delin, Lu Delin!
You don't really think you have the style of Generalissimo Lu Xiangsheng back then, do you?
Even if you have.
But how can you make a long run without being discovered by Jiannu?
It's not realistic.
I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will be surrounded by Jiannu.
And you are tired because of the labor expedition.
How to defeat the 50,000 elites of Jiannu?
Zhang Zhilong was both angry and regretful.
He felt that even if he went, it would be too late.
You must know that Huang Taiji's garrison on the northern front is by no means Ge Yan's 50,000.
There are another 50,000 troops.
However, Zhang Zhilong does not know the actual situation now.
At the same time, Hong Chengchou sent his own pro-army to support from the west of Liaoyang.
The purpose was to prevent Lu Delin from fleeing back to the Ming Jinzhou defense line from the west after the defeat.
That way, at least one response will not be lost.
Hong Chengchou, a seventy-year-old man, has now become the most worrying commander in the north of the entire Ming Dynasty.
If it weren't for the intelligence of the early hours of the morning that woke him up from his dream.
He would never have thought that Lu Delin would quietly bypass the huge defense line with 20,000 gold guards to fight Jiannu!
However, Hong Chengchou, who has rich combat experience, finds this matter incredible.
Because in his impression, Lu Delin belongs to the type who doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.
He had never risked his life.
Only this time, Lu Delin used such a risky play.
The more Hong Chengchou thought about it, the more he felt that this was the tactic of the master of the dynasty.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou, who was uneasy on the left, personally led 5,000 elite cavalry out of Liaoyang City after sending 15,000 soldiers.
Now there are still 30,000 defenders in Liaoyang City.
According to Hong Chengchou's judgment, Lu Delin's 20,000 troops plus Zhang Zhilong and Miao Liyuan's 10,000 troops can confront Jiannu's 50,000 army.
The remaining 50,000 troops in the hands of Huang Taiji wanted to capture Liaoyang, which was guarded by 30,000 people.
Not very realistic.
On the other hand, if the entire army of Jin Wuwei, who was deeply trapped in the enemy's formation, was annihilated, it would be a painful blow to the morale of the entire defense line of the Ming Dynasty.
The consequences will be unimaginable.
At this time!
The camp where Ge Yan was stationed before, the ground within a radius of seventy miles exuded a strong bloody atmosphere.
The blood of the Jiannu soldiers gathered countless rivers of blood on the ground.
The blood didn't clot for hours.
And corpses can be seen everywhere.
The smell of blood spread almost ten miles away.
When Zhang Zhilong and Miao Liyuan, who were ordered by Hong Chengchou to come to the rescue, rushed to the Jiannu camp after several spies.
Everywhere they looked, it was the blood of their old enemy, Jiannu.
Only a few corpses that had been sacrificed and their horses fell to the ground were wearing the armor of the Ming army.
As Miao Liyuan wiped the armor of the Ming soldiers, he found that it was indeed Jin Wuwei under the command of Lu Delin who attacked this trip.
He and Zhang Zhilong's faces were full of incredulous looks.
"They actually won."
Zhang Zhilong's face was dull.
He looked around in disbelief, and among the average four or five corpses of Jiannu soldiers, there was the corpse of a Ming warrior.
In some places, the number of Jiannu people is even greater than that of the Ming army.
Suffice it to say that this place has experienced a wave of one-sided slaughter.
Lo succeeded.
At this time, Zhang Zhilong did not have the previous disdain and indignation at all, but clenched his fists excitedly and roared: "I knew that such a hundred-mile raid would either be besieged or taken by surprise. ”
"Yes, this is my first major victory in the foreign war, and this battle can lay the foundation for my prestige and re-establish the soul of the Ming army."
Miao Liyuan was thoughtful, and his eyes were mixed with incomparable fascination and pride.
A moment later, he ordered the soldiers behind him to shroud the body of the Jinwu guard soldier Ma Ge who had died in the battle here and send him back to Liaoyang City.
Afterwards, Miao Liyuan said to Zhang Zhilong: "General Zhang, we should quickly march to meet it. ”
"Great goodness!"
Zhang Zhilong turned on his horse, drew his knife and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me on, if you meet Jiannu, you will be killed." ”
An hour later.
Zhang Zhilong's army has appeared on the banks of the Liao River.
At this time, the sentries under Lu Delin's command also found out the situation.
I'm rushing back to report to Lu Delin.
And Jin Wuwei, who was guarding the outside of the camp, didn't know.
When they heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near at Zhang Zhilong's headquarters, the originally wounded soldiers picked up their weapons one after another, staring at the rear vigilantly.
Zhang Zhilong, who was riding a horse in front, stood far away and saw Jin Wuwei's Panlong military flag, he was worried about a miscalculation, and hurriedly shouted: "I am Zhang Zhilong, where is Lu Delin?" ”
As the distance from each other comes into the range of sight.
The soldiers on the periphery of Jin Wuwei immediately took off their guards.
Even though Jin Wuwei has always been arrogant, he looks down on the self-respecting border army.
But they can still bring a strong sense of security to people at critical moments.
