"Fire and water are ruthless, defeat the enemy in a hundred battles!"

The soldiers of the two battalions, under the leadership of Xu Shang, raised their spears in their hands and shouted in unison.

Encouraged by their momentum, several battalions of recruits behind them also began to cheer all over the world.

Although it was not their turn to personally confront the enemy in this battle, the joy of victory was also infectious.

After a long time, the fire was finally slowly extinguished when the grass and trees were burned out.

As far as the eye could see, the land burned by the fire was charred black, and a little grass ash still fell in the sky from time to time.

At the same time, the unpleasant smell of burnt meat filling the air spreads with the breeze.

Many recruits smelled the smell and couldn't hold back the vomiting sensation in their chests, and vomited with a "wow".

Yang Chengying stepped off the lookout, rode his horse to Tu Lichen's body, saw Tu Lichen's angry and hideous expression, turned over and dismounted.

Came to Turichen and paused for a few seconds to pay his respects to the warrior.

Then he ordered: "The two battalions will retire and recuperate, and General Zu will lead several battalions to clean up the battlefield, and all weapons, whether damaged or not, will be taken away." Remove their heads and report their victory to the court. ”

"As for the slave chieftain soldiers who are not yet dead, ...... Send them on their way! ”

Zu Tianshou received the order and commanded the soldiers of each battalion to take care of the battlefield.

Shen Yourong walked over excitedly: "General Yang, well done!" It was a big victory, a big win like never before. ”

"That's right."

Yang Chengying said half-jokingly, "However, I want to ask the chief soldier for a favor." ”

"No problem, even if General Yang speaks, the old man will definitely help."

Shen Yourong agreed without thinking about it.

Then, Yang Chengying is not polite.

"First, during the last battle of Gaizhou, the first reward of the Ming soldiers has not been received."

"Wait, the battle of Gaizhou? Isn't that a matter of Fang Xun's press? ”

Shen Yourong said in surprise.

"That's right. But Xiong Jingluo and Fang Xun didn't give it to me, and now I am under the control of your Denglai Governor Yamen, and you have to be responsible. ”

Yang Chengying said with a smile.

The corners of the old general's mouth twitched a few times.

Yang Chengying deliberately didn't look at him, "Second, I lost a lot of grain and grass in this battle, you have to make up for my ......."

"Stop!" Shen Yourong hurriedly stopped, "You didn't let the soldiers carry the food on their backs, and only follow us in empty cars." ”

"It's completely empty, and the rut marks are wrong. So I took half of the grain as a thing to start a fire. ”

"Ah......h

Shen Yourong was speechless for a while.

Yang Chengying spread his hands, "So I can only rely on your help." ”

Shen Yourong's face became completely different.

It was not until the next day that the clearing of the battlefield was completed.

In this battle, 10,000 people were killed in Houjin, including 3,000 bannermen, 1,000 cavalry, and the rest were cannon fodder.

Due to fire and battle damage, less than a thousand full heads can be obtained.

More than 100 soldiers were killed in this battle by the Ming army, all of whom were killed when the Jin army broke through after the blockade.

The bereavement benefits for the dead are all carried out according to the highest standards.

There was jubilation here in Jinzhou, but the governor of Denglai was bleak.

In addition to a series of problems brought about by the earthquake, such as the resettlement of people, there are also concerns about the fighting on the front line.

Governor Yuan Keli received news from the Yamen of Liaodong that the rebel general Sun De's army had crossed the Sancha River and launched a tentative attack on western Liao.

Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, led his army to temporarily repel them and reported their victory to the imperial court.

Yuan Keli speculated that Sun Degong only played a diversion role.

Now that the Fuzhou guard is lost, Jiang Chaodong followed Yang Chengying to guard the city at Luangu Pass.

The situation in southern Liaoning is already very dangerous.

But he has no soldiers or generals in his hands, so he can only do it in a hurry.

So he summoned all the generals to the governor's yamen to discuss and discuss a method together.

"It is said that Yang Chengying is brave and good at fighting, how powerful he is, he can't stop the slave chief."

"That's it, in my opinion, his fame is all blown out."

"I only took 3,000 people to the north, and I looked stupid."

"Who's to say it isn't."

A group of generals complained dissatisfied.

Yuan Keli sat on the top, frowning slightly, but did not speak.

Thanks to Wanli's blessing, there is a shortage of personnel in various departments of the Ming Dynasty.

The two emperors, Taichang and Tianqi, began to fill in the vacancies, and finally filled some generals.

Either they are old or they are young and inexperienced.

There are so many generals, and the only ones who are reliable are Shen Yourong and Zhang Pan.

One is on the front line, and the other is muffled and does not speak.

There is also a wanderer, and the awl can't even be pierced.

"Governor, Yang Chengying is not capable of leading the Jinzhou Guard against the slave chieftains."

Seeing that the governor didn't speak, a young general stood up and said, "There is really no one, so it is better to hand over Jinzhouwei to me." ”

He has been coveting Jinzhou Wei for a long time, which is a transit point for trade between the two countries, and it is fat.

"Over to you?"

Yuan Keli felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his face didn't show it, "I don't know if you can resist the attack of the slave chief." ”

"I ......"

The general was too frightened to answer.

Just kidding, a large area of Liaodong land has fallen into the hands of slave chiefs, Jinzhou Wei has his back to the sea, and it is no problem to escape if he can't hold it, but what awaits him is the edict!

"Lord Governor, don't talk angry, hurry up and think of a way."

There was a partner who had a good relationship with the young general, and he opened his mouth to break the siege, "Losing Liaonan, this governor of a major crime can't afford it." ”

Yuan Keli's eyes widened, yes, Governor Wang had a record of repelling Sun Degong on his side, but he lost Jinzhou on his side.

For a moment, he felt his head go bigger.

"Great victory!"

Before the messenger arrived, the shouts of excitement came from afar.

"A big victory?"

"Could it be the credit of Chief Shen?"

The generals talked a lot.

Yuan Keli stood up excitedly and walked to the door of the yamen.

The messenger walked inside, knelt in front of Yuan Keli, and said breathlessly:

"Jinzhou Wei came to a great victory, repelled the second slave chieftain Beile Aixin Jueluo Amin, killed 10,000 enemies, and obtained the first 1,000."

The room was instantly quiet.

The generals were all stunned and shocked.

Their first reaction was that Yang Chengying must have deceived and lied about his military exploits.

Not since the start of the war of the Slave chieftains has there been such a great victory.

"What about the losses of our army?"

Yuan Keli was the first to react and hurriedly asked.

"Back to the governor, one hundred and eighty soldiers were killed in front and behind our army."

The messenger took out two firmly sealed envelopes and handed them to Yuan Keli.

One is Yang Chengying's newspaper to Yuan Keli, and the other is Shen Yourong's personal letter.

Yuan Keli couldn't believe that all this was true.

He couldn't wait to open the newspaper first and read the battle.

Whether it is marching around the enemy, or opening the city gate by fraud, or using the identity of the enemy's main general to attack and seriously injure a large number of middle-level generals of the enemy, and ostensibly guarding Luangu Pass, in fact, it is to lure the enemy into depth, etc.

Each strategy is interlocking, but there is a degree of advance and retreat, and always firmly grasp the initiative.

After Yuan Keli saw it, he was amazed.

He couldn't wait to open the letter written by Shen Yourong.

This letter not only confirmed that Yang Chengying's military exploits were true, but also euphemistically said that the serious loss of grain and grass in Jinzhou and the problem of not reporting the military merits of the first rank.

Joy washed away all Yuan Keli's sorrows, and he laughed while reading the letter.

provoked all the generals to look at each other, not knowing what to say.
