Chapter 1044
Zhenjiang Fort was not far from the Yalu River. Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, finally chose the place not far from Zhenjiang Fort to rob grain with the Manchu Qing grain protection team. The main reason was to facilitate the evacuation.As long as the food protection team is not allowed to escape back to the city, that's fine.As for the local troops of the Qing Dynasty in the city, hehe, the elite troops of the Qing Dynasty are not afraid of them, how can they be afraid of these local troops?
About an hour in the afternoon, the cavalry of the Ming army had arrived at the Yalu River, and on the shore agreed in advance, they saw the Denglai Navy fleet waiting here.Azig never imagined that through the conversation between Zheng Zhiwan and Wei Mulan in the chat group, the two armies of the Ming Dynasty cooperated very tacitly.

On the Yalu River, the fleet has already formed a very long line. The shore is suitable for docking. There are only two boats at a time. At this time, they have already parked on the shore, and the simple bridge is also ready there.As soon as the grain transportation team arrived, the Ming soldiers immediately ordered the surrendered Han Army Eight Banners to immediately drive the grain trucks onto the transport ships.

The faces of the Eight Banners of the Han Army who surrendered were all surprised. How could the navy of the Ming Army just appear here, and there are so many of them?Also, these transport ships of the Ming army were able to drive the grain trucks up, obviously specially modified. Could it be that these transport ships were prepared to rob the grain trucks of the Qing Dynasty?

This time, they guessed right.The Ming army robbed the grain carts of the Manchu Qing continuously, and then they were often shipped away by the navy.After a few times, I found out that the battle of looting food can often catch the Qing army by surprise, and it is easier to succeed, but it is more troublesome to load the food on board, and it often takes a long time. The transport ship has been specially modified so that it can drive the grain carts directly onto the ship, and then unload the livestock pulling the carts, so that the grain carts can be loaded as quickly as possible.

The transport ship was fully loaded, and it drove away without a warship escort. On this sea, it was the Ming army's world. The Manchu Qing didn't even have a ship, so I felt at ease.Whether it was the grain trucks getting on the ship or the transport ships docking, everything was in order without any confusion.No matter whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Denglai Navy or the soldiers of the Ming army on the shore, none of them looked impatient or panicked, as if they were not in the area controlled by the enemy.People who don't know the details will definitely think that they are in the territory of Daming, and they are so calm.

However, Lu Xiangsheng commanded the army, so naturally he would not underestimate the enemy.The infantry guarded a large circle on the shore, while the cavalry were all scattered out to shield Jianlu from prying horses.As for Sinuiju on the other side, it is inconvenient for the cavalry to go there, so it is casual.Anyway, the pontoon bridge on the river has been destroyed by the navy, separated by the Yalu River, the Manchu and Qing troops in Sinuiju can only stare blankly.

A small boat galloped over from the east bank and landed under Lu Xiangsheng's handsome flag. It was Li Deming who had returned to the team. He took out a head and said, "Master Zhongcheng, this is the messenger sent by the Qing Dynasty to North Korea. He was stopped by his subordinates."

Letting Li Deming on the east bank intercept the messenger was just a supplement to the whole war.Actually, it doesn't make much difference.With the Denglai navy, even if the pontoon bridge was not destroyed, could the Manchu and Qing troops still pass through the Yalu River safely under the attack of the navy?
Lu Xiangsheng nodded and told Li Deming to rest.It was still a bit hard to follow the Manchu food protection team all the way.Looking at the busyness on the river, Wei Mulan said happily, "Maybe the evacuation can be completed before dark?"

"Almost, as long as there are no accidents, everything can be completed according to plan!" Lu Xiangsheng was in a good mood after hearing this, and nodded in response.

Careful combat deployment was made in advance, and even many details were provided by dedicated people.According to the emperor, these are called combat staff officers.Some of them calculate the distance, think about various situations that may be encountered during the transportation of grain trucks, and give solutions; some are familiar with the hydrology of the Yalu River, and give the best loading location and plan; The Qing army made an estimate of the possible response methods and provided solutions to Lu Xiangsheng. Some of them were more familiar with the situation of the surrounding Manchu Qing. Regarding the situation of the reinforcements of the Manchu Qing army, there are several analysis of the situation...

All these situations were finally brought together in the hands of Governor Denglai who commanded the war, so that Lu Xiangsheng could easily make decisions according to his own situation, and finally formed an effective battle plan.Judging from the results of the implementation, it is indeed good.This so-called staff method made Lu Xiangsheng secretly admire.

Although at this time or all along, there have been similar situations.These staff officers are actually aides.But in comparison, this kind of staff are all lieutenant officers and soldiers, who are familiar with the things they are responsible for, or can consciously grasp the situation, which can effectively reduce the things that the coach does not consider carefully.According to the words of the emperor, this staff officer is far more professional than the staff!
Today, this kind of staff system is only available in the new army.Lu Xiangsheng is already thinking about setting up such a system in the Dongjiang Army in the future.

He was thinking about it when he heard Wei Mulan sighing suddenly: "The Manchu Qing army is getting worse and worse. It is estimated that Liaodong will recover soon!"

This battle was far easier than expected.You know, judging from the information we have, there are [-] Jurchen elites among the [-] grain guards.But it is still defeated in one blow, basically there is no ability to fight back!
After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "Liaodong will definitely be restored, but we must remain vigilant against the Manchu Qing army, and we must not be careless."

Speaking of this, he saw that Wei Mulan seemed a little puzzled, so he explained in detail: "The soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are actually veterans. They have many years of experience in the battlefield and must not be underestimated. The reason why we fight , seems to be relatively easy. The main reason is that the Manchus don't understand us!"

As Lu Xiangsheng was talking, he couldn't help recalling the battles again and again in his heart: "At the beginning, the Manchus always thought that our Ming army was still the old Ming army, and they fought too smoothly in the past, and they underestimated the enemy in thinking. Later, after suffering several losses, I finally got to know my Ming army, but this kind of understanding is still not enough. They don’t know that our Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, and their understanding has not been able to keep up with the strength of the Ming army. So, I suffered again and again.”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt very emotional, and then said with admiration: "But the most important point is that with the presence of the emperor and you factory guards, our army can deal with the situation of the Manchu army. We understand clearly that the initiative is completely in the hands of our Ming army. We beat the Manchu army seven inches above the Qing army again and again, making them hungry all the time. When paying attention, the Manchu Qing army was already too hungry to launch a big battle."

"Under the influence of one defeat after another, their most important mentality of daring to fight and fight hard no longer exists. On the battlefield, they no longer have confidence. They feel that they will definitely win the Ming army, and even have fear of the Ming army. In this war, we attacked suddenly again, and the Jian captives had no defense at all, and there was no way to prepare for it, so we can easily win."

Listening to Lu Xiangsheng's detailed analysis, Wei Mulan couldn't help nodding her head while thinking about the wars she had experienced.Mr. Zhongcheng deserves to be Mr. Zhongcheng, the analysis is too thorough, it really is the truth!

They were chatting here, but Azig on the top of Zhenjiang Fort was sitting on pins and needles, like ants on a hot pot, circling around the top of the city.At this time, the gate of Zhenjiang Fort was fully opened.The corpses of the Qing soldiers outside the city have also been cleaned up.A fast horse rides in and out, basically there is no good news.

There are often fast horses returning in embarrassment, like this one, sweating and panicking, reporting to Azig: "Master Belle, the Ming army's cavalry is scattered everywhere, and we can't get close at all. With a team of scouts, only three people escaped back."

Azig wanted to let these scouts go around farther to investigate, but it was still useless. The Ming army had a large number of cavalry, and they spread out in a big circle, basically giving Jianlu no chance to scout the horses.

"Master Belle, if it doesn't get dark, there will definitely be omissions in the cavalry of the Ming army, and then we will be able to find out the situation of the loading of the Ming army." The guard of Zhenjiang Fort advised Azig, "So many The grain must not be allowed to be transported away by the Ming army. The final general will organize a group of dead soldiers to take advantage of the cover of the night, prepare more fire starters, and sneak over to attack the Ming army's grain truck fleet. As long as the fleet can be burned, or Destroying the grain carts will definitely delay the withdrawal of the Ming army greatly. In this way, we will still have a chance in Qing Dynasty!"

After hearing this, Azig nodded immediately, and this is the only way now.

At this moment, I saw dust flying in the distance of the official road, and it seemed that a large army was coming.At this time, the army coming again must be the army of Qing Dynasty itself.Therefore, Azig couldn't help showing a trace of relief on his face, and eagerly lay down on the top of the wall, wanting to see for the first time who came to rescue.

The fast horses arrived first, and it was the army from the Tangzhan Fort that came over. There were only about [-] troops, and with the collapsed soldiers of the gathered food guard team, there were only about [-] troops in total.Azig couldn't help being a little disappointed, but something is better than nothing.In these local troops, Azig didn't even have the confidence to send them out when he saw the soldiers who were as thin as ribs.At most, more dead soldiers were selected from them, and a bigger raid was launched at night.

But there is also good news, that is, the farther side of Phoenix City is already organizing military rescue.There is a big city over there, with a lot of troops, and the troops dispatched are far from comparable to a small castle like Tangzhanbao.It is estimated that if they march overnight, they will arrive here at noon tomorrow.As for the cavalry, they should be able to arrive late at night today.

This news really made Azig breathe a sigh of relief.If so much food, the last life-saving food of the Qing Dynasty, was snatched by the Ming army in this way, not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, Huang Taiji would probably have his heart cut by the food alone.He couldn't bear this responsibility no matter what.

Now at night, the dead soldiers first go to harass and destroy, and then wait until the next day, when the reinforcements arrive, and then launch an attack, there is still hope of regaining some of the food.Thinking of this, Azig ordered again: "The firearms of the Ming army are sharp, and the chariots produced must be strong, and more quilts must be added. Ben Belle doesn't believe it. Those muskets of the Ming army can still It’s impossible to penetrate these chariots again!”

Mu chariots have always been one of the effective means for the Manchu army to deal with the Ming army's weapons. What's more, this Ming army does not have cannons. As long as the mu chariots are thicker, they can definitely cover the Qing army for fighting close to the Ming army.Once the hand-to-hand combat, the advantage of the Ming army's firearms was lost.This kind of war has the hope of winning!
The guard of Zhenjiang Fort naturally understood that although the materials in Zhenjiang Fort were limited and quilts were also scarce, he still agreed without hesitation and immediately went down to the top of the city to take care of the matter.In the battle against the city in the morning, if there were well-prepared chariots, the losses would not have been so heavy, and so many Daqing warriors had been killed and injured!
On the official road in North Korea, a fast horse is galloping.The horse was already running fast, but the knight seemed to be still not satisfied, and kept urging, trying to increase the speed of the horse, hurry up, and hurry up.This kind of galloping without hesitation, it is estimated that the horse will run to death.But the knight was still holding a horse in his hand, one person with two horses, obviously he had considered this situation.

Finally, the horse under his crotch seemed to be dying.The knight didn't hesitate at all, and his riding skills were also excellent. He jumped up, jumped onto another horse, and continued to "drive" the horse to gallop.Not surprisingly, the horse he abandoned slowed down without the owner's control, and finally fell limply on the official road and wailed.

Duoduo, who walked a day earlier, was not fast, after all, there were infantry in the army he led.In order to save food, if you don't have enough food, you will walk even faster.But Duduo didn't care, and felt a little relaxed.This time, the food protection was a bit beyond his expectation. The Ming army did not show up, and had no intention of coming to collect the food.But fortunately, he didn't come, otherwise, if this batch of food is lost, North Korea will never be able to produce any more food.Even the Wa country does not have it, unless the Wa country can lay down more places, it is possible to collect more grain, and it is possible to transport it to North Korea.

Thinking of his own caution along the way, Azig's look of contempt for him flashed in Doduo's mind.Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he had known that the Ming army wouldn't come, he wouldn't have to be so cautious. As a result, he was underestimated by this elder brother who was eating inside and out and wearing a pair of trousers with Huang Taiji.

He was thinking about it, when suddenly there was commotion behind the team, and there seemed to be a faint voice coming from it.This made Duoduo excited, could it be the Ming army coming?
But he immediately came back to his senses, and couldn't help being amused. There was no food on his side, so how could the Ming army appear?
At this moment, he finally heard the voice coming from behind: "The Ming army robbed the food and transported it to the Yalu River. Please come back to the rescue, Lord Baylor!"
