Beiyang new warlord

Mao Jue couldn't believe his ears. He glanced at Wen Meng's sweaty horse's face in astonishment, and crawled out of the ditch with two hands and feet.

The gate of the Moon Valley Village, which was still smelling of gunpowder and blood just now, is empty! The Jiannu cavalry who had been going forward just now retreated like a dragonfly on the water, and you can still see their backs running down the hillside. It looks like the old man's hair. In the place of the battle, two wounded horses are whining. On the field, Liu Chong's big guns on both sides are covered with blood. The eight Ming soldiers who were cut down by the Jian slaves who rushed in are also in a mess. Some lay there, some were still twitching and moaning.

The Musketeers who escaped behind also gathered together again, looking out in the same astonishment.

After pausing for a few seconds, Mao Jue, ignoring the burning pain in his chest and abdomen, climbed up to the half crooked lookout at the entrance of the village in two steps.

The moonlight is not bad tonight, and the bright moon valley can be seen at a glance. Along the valley, a dozen horses have almost escaped from the mouth of the valley, without even a flag. There is no sign of the large group of Jianzhou braided soldiers who are staring at him.

"Just a small pinch?"

When the sun climbed to the top of the mountain again, the Moon Valley, which was quite peaceful yesterday, was now devastated. The traces of the war were everywhere. A house in the northeast corner was almost completely burned. Mao Jue's mouth twitched to the side unceasingly as the astonishing bloody smell spread over his face.

What hit him on the head last night was not a large army of slaves at all. There were about thirty cavalry attacking outside, and there were only twenty or so making trouble in the stockade. Thousands of soldiers came to fight Mao Jue, which showed Jiannu's arrogance.

But these people really have this strength, more than 60 slaves, and finally ran away for seventeen or eighteen, but killed eighty or ninety of his soldiers last night, and burned them to death, and fled in panic, plus a lot With minor or serious injuries, Mao Jue lost almost [-] soldiers in just one day after he left the house, especially seven of the soldiers he managed to train died.

And there are a little more dead today.

The dark general's platform looked extraordinarily tall under the halo of the sun, with several generals with bitter faces, Mao Jue's face was particularly gloomy, around the corpse, more than 1000 Ming troops waited and watched in disorder, while kneeling on the ground Pointing to the audience, the five fisherman's soldiers kept smashing their heads on the ground in horror like kowtowing insects.

"Master, please spare me! The little one is just being confused for a while!"

"Confused for a while?"

These are the soldiers who took the lead in fleeing last night. If they hadn't escaped, the Jiannu cavalry might have been defeated by the third round of shooting, and Mao Jue's musket formation would not have collapsed. Seven people were killed and one was seriously injured. Folding his arms, Mao Jue snorted with a sneer, and then roared loudly.

"Did I short you of food?"

"Is my father short of your salary?"

After all, it was from his own family, and Pang Dahai couldn't bear to beg for mercy.

"General, they are also newcomers to military affairs and are ignorant. Besides, with firecrackers, once the slave cavalry arrives, they will be like firesticks. Give them a chance!"

But before he finished speaking, Wen Meng next to him was already humming gloomily.

"What is a personal soldier, who lives and dies with the general! On the battlefield, those who abandon the general and flee will die! There are so many nonsense?"

It seems that in this era, Mao Jue's heart has become a lot more ruthless. Maybe sometimes, all this is still regarded as a dream by him. After angrily reprimanding these two sentences, he is already vicious before Wen Meng and Pang Dahai's words confront each other. growled out.

"cut!"

In an instant, the sharp sword slashed down, and the five heads, who were still howling like ghosts and howling like wolves, splashed out along with the bright red blood, their faces filled with fear.Looking at the twisted corpse on the ground, and the blood gushing from the neck, all the Ming soldiers watching nearby felt a chill in their hearts.

Don't look at this new general who doesn't even have a full hair, he kills people just like killing chickens, without blinking his eyes

Chapter 50. Tanshi Pot Syrup

Cheng Bushi governed the army very strictly, and everyone under his command of 5 people served his life. Li Guangzhi's army was very lenient, and he never fought against him at night, and his soldiers were happy to fight for him.But most of the time, a good commander still prefers a general like Cheng Bushi. After all, Li Guang is too unstable, and he either wins or loses.

Those who died from being stabbed in the back were given no compensation. Five bloody heads hung at the gate of the village. Everyone in the army is in danger. One side is building a house, and the other side is sending out to practice the queue. Everyone can't wait to cheer up and walk with their heads held high.

This strength is like a shot in the arm, temporarily energizing the troops under his command, but standing on the third floor of the wooden castle, watching the collapsed and charred thatched houses being pushed down, the garbage being transported out of the stockade little by little, and then The Ming soldiers who yelled at the newly dug corpse, Mao Jue still couldn't be happy.

Among other things, the new official takes office three times. If he is an airborne newcomer, if he wants to suppress these local tyrants and old fritters, he has to show some decent military exploits and use ruthlessness to suppress them, but this is all right. Thousands of 400 people made less than sixty Jiannu beat their noses and faces swollen, and in the end more than a dozen ran away.

Just when Mao Jue was fascinated by watching, an equally tired but fragrant cry sounded behind him.

"General!"

It is said that Junzi keeps his balls, but villains hide dicks.This guy Su Changmei can grow so fat in such an environment, and was frightened into a soft-legged shrimp yesterday, it's no wonder he is a good soldier.But this guy knows better than Pang Hai, and he is served with a pot of hot chicken soup, with a smile like bunny folds, just like the eunuchs serving the emperor, who don’t even hit the smiling faces when they stretch out their hands, It's really alienating.

He came in with a food box, and put the big bowl on the table. This guy laughed like honey, and he hugged his fist respectfully.

"You were injured yesterday, and today you need to eat some supplements to replenish your vitality. I ordered the cook to add ginseng to it, and drink it while it's hot. I'm sure you'll be alive and well tomorrow! Tonight It's easy to settle a few old women!"

"Let it go!"

It’s all about the humiliation of being beaten by No.60 at 37. A total of [-] slaves were slaughtered. According to the military habits of this era, all of them were beheaded and put on white ashes. There are soldiers downstairs. I was busy there, maybe I was used to seeing a pair of heads while playing games, looking at the grinning head, Mao Jue didn't feel fear penetrating, only upset, he waved his hands dullly like chasing flies.

This appearance caused Su Changmei to look astonished, and then raised her fist again in amazement.

"General, you have made such great achievements in battle in this weak year, and beheaded quite a lot. Although it is difficult to go back to increase your official position, the court will definitely reward you for your merits, and Mao Shuai will also praise you. How can you return it?" so sad?"

"Military exploits?"

Mao Jue grinned when he heard this, and hummed self-deprecatingly.

"It is said that three thousand people are killed, and eight hundred are self-defeated. I lost more than 200 good soldiers, and beheaded less than forty. Where did the merit come from!"

Shaking his head and turning back from the window, Mao Jue slapped the table angrily after drinking a spoonful of chicken soup.

"Damn it, come out to seek guilt, and you have to figure out how to deal with this defeat with my old man."

The look of astonishment on his face became more and more intense, but soon, a strange color appeared on the folds of the bun, as if he had thought of something, the fat man clenched his fists again, and left without saying anything.

It's embarrassing to say that North Korea has tens of thousands of troops, and Dongjiang Town has [-] to [-] troops, but the Houjin Eight Banners, which are less than [-] in Uiju City, shocked the entire peninsula, and the [-] slaves who mobilized to mobilize It was not aimed at such a small place as Tieshan County, but to plunder the North Four Provinces of the Korean Kingdom. Such a force made the entire Tieshan an enemy, and the generals of the Ming army did not even dare to leave the city for more than two days. distance.

Among them, Mao Jue was added, saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and he let the tiger bite him hard, which hurt his heart.Now that he didn't have a gun enough to kill a tiger, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Fortunately, he is not the only one who has scruples. Although the number of troops Jiannu invested in Tieshan is unknown, more than 30 people died at once. The Tuntian Village in the north was almost destroyed and looted. Within a few days, the scouts sent by Wenmeng continued to send back news, and the traces of Jiannu cavalry gradually decreased. About fifteen days after the start of the war, Tie There is no trace of Jiannu cavalry in the mountain county.

With the addition of Mao Jue, there was no difference in this battle. The Ming army dared to take back the ruins of Tuntian and Tunbao step by step after Jiannu finished burning and looting, and retreated contentedly.

On the seventh day of stationing in Moon Valley, the guerrilla general Tian Tao sent someone to send a message that his troops had gone through Nichuan from the North Road and brought back the Tieshanqian station at the northernmost part of Tieshan County. The north gate was taken back, although it was just a "broken wooden gate", it could make two noises when it was pushed open, and Mao Jue could finally bring his subordinates back to Tieshan.

Liu Chong at the front led the thirty horseshoe-riding trotters in a hurry. This time he fought with Mao Jue. Although he was a little embarrassed, Mao Jue's unrelenting ferocity encouraged these old soldiers, but behind him However, there were only about [-] newly recruited fishermen's corps, but they were walking forward weakly with firecrackers, and many of them even had a lot of bruises on their faces.

For this collapse, Mao Jue was very angry. Other troops practiced for half a day in formation, they had to train for a whole day, and in order to ensure the solidity of the battle formation, Mao Jue ordered that when they marched in formation, someone would use stones The clods of soil were smashed here from all angles, and from time to time, cavalry rushed over, aggressively trying to ram up. The seven days after the war almost became Devil's Week for them.

In the back, there is still a battalion of soldiers in a messy formation, but the water crotch diapers they used when they couldn't find them are now in order. These days, Mao Jue mainly ordered to contact them to fight against them, although he didn't know How about actually going to the battlefield? Mao Jue ordered the assembly last night, and these guys rushed out of their mud houses with weapons within 5 minutes.

If they were attacked by Jiannu again, there should not be more than 1000 people running around, unable to organize a fight and counterattack for more than half an hour.

Riding behind Liu Chong's cavalry, while walking, Mao Jue was always hissing with his mouth crooked, looking like he had a toothache.

For others, Jiannu's big move this time made them puzzled. For him who didn't know that he had hit Schrödinger's law and came back as a latecomer, it became clear after thinking about it. In the third year of Chongzhen, there was an extremely tragic defense of the capital. This is the second time that the Ming Empire was burned to the capital by the northern minority regime after Wala also first invaded the capital more than 200 years ago. This time, the blood boiled Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan Dushi were imprisoned, and then he was cut into pieces at the vegetable market very tragically.

This large-scale raid was a preparation for Huang Taiji's big plan to enter the customs. First hit the Dongjiang, North Korea, and even Mao Jue. It can be expected that the Liaodong Army on the Daling River in Jinzhou will also face a large-scale attack from a small organization like Jiannu. The purpose of large-scale raids and harassment is to destroy the Ming army's autumn harvest. Once the food reserves are insufficient, the Ming army will not be able to attack Jianzhou Shenyang when it uses large-scale troops in the pass.

But the pain is the pain here. I knew what was going to happen in my heart, but I couldn't change anything. I persuaded Mao Wenlong to take this opportunity to attack Hetuala and Shenyang?You can try it, but the success rate is less than 5000%.What to do yourself?Based on what he saw and heard during the Battle of Iron Mountain, Mao Jue suspected that he would not be able to bring the [-] troops under his command to the front line of Moon Valley.

Moreover, Huang Taiji's strategic intentions have also been achieved. More than two-thirds of the farmland in Tieshan was destroyed, and North Korea's four northern provinces were also harassed. Just the day before yesterday, the envoy sent by the king of Joseon had just passed through his defense area. To go to Phi Island, we need to discuss with Mao Wenlong to reduce the supply of gross rice this year.

I just broke my face with Yuan Chonghuan. If he is willing to transport food to the Dongjiang River, unless the sun comes out from the west, the transshipment from the Shandong side has just returned, and it will not be able to quench the near thirst.
