Chapter 1045 The Anticipated Battle

The messengers galloped by, and the Manchu and Qing troops were all in an uproar.

Even Duoduo was dumbfounded. He was just glad that the Ming army didn't show up this time. Why did the Ming army take away the food just a day later!You know, these grains are the last batch of grains that North Korea can squeeze out!How can the Ming army snatch it away?

Thinking of this, Duoduo looked at the messenger who was approaching, and asked sharply, "What is Azig doing? Why did the Ming army take it away? Yangguli, isn't that old thing very stable?"

"The villain doesn't know, please Lord Baylor come back to help as soon as possible!" The messenger took a breath and eagerly reported again.

Doduo knew that there was nothing to ask, and it was not the time to ask, so he quickly ordered the whole army to turn around immediately.He himself even led the cavalry back first. He was so careful, why did he rob the Ming army of food?
For a while, the official road seemed a bit chaotic, and many soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had panicked expressions on their faces. The Qing Dynasty had never been able to transport grain smoothly in the past few years!How did it happen?What exactly is going on?

There are many things on this day, but no matter what, the sun is always moving according to a fixed trajectory. No, the sun has moved to the west, and it is about to fall into the west mountain.

"Lord Zhongcheng, the grain carts are already loaded!" Wei Mulan watched the last grain cart board the transport ship, then turned to remind Governor Lu Xiangsheng of Denglai.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he looked up at the fiery red clouds in the west, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Although it was a little slower than expected, it was still finished before dark. Okay, let's get on board the infantry, light the bonfire, and inform The cavalry retreated."

Then, beside Lu Xiangsheng, a personal guard took out a small flag and waved it into the distance.

After a while, the infantry by the river lined up in rows, without making any noise or giving way, and quickly walked towards the transport ship, just like six long dragons swimming towards the transport ship.

And on a mountain not far away, after the flag here was waved, three pillars of smoke appeared. Although there was a reason for the wind, the pillars of smoke dispersed without rising too high.But as long as it is around the top of the mountain, smoke columns can still be seen rising.

After seeing this situation, Wei Mulan said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Lord Zhongcheng, it's time for us to board the boat."

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng seemed unwilling, and turned his head to look around.

Seeing him like this, Wei Mulan had been by his side for many years, so she didn't know what he was thinking, so she quickly added: "This is the emperor's order, and Lord Zhongcheng no longer has to personally lead the army to take risks."

Emperor Chongzhen was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would still like to conquer the front line himself, so he issued a decree, telling Wei Mulan to keep an eye on Lu Xiangsheng, not to let him go to charge and kill, and not to take risks.Although it was true that Lu Xiangsheng was sorry for his bravery in this way, the probability of danger was reduced after all.

Lu Xiangsheng was reminded, and smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty's order, I naturally have to obey. All right, then according to the plan, the cavalry will be brought back by the division general!"

After speaking, he looked around again, seeing that the cavalry who were closer were approaching this side, so he rode his horse towards the river.

On the other side of the Yalu River, Manchu Qingyizhou guards watched the Ming army transport ships, one after another, loaded with grain and Ming troops, and they drove downstream, but there was nothing they could do.When the sun was setting, and even the infantry of the Ming army boarded the boat and left, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh.He found that facing the Ming army now, he could only sigh!

On the other side, after finally waiting for the sky to gradually darken, Azig couldn't wait any longer, and the guard of Zhenjiang Fort came quickly, urging him to leave quickly.

Facing the nearly [-] selected dead soldiers standing below the city, Azig stood on the top of the city, looked at them, showed a rare sincerity on his face, and said loudly: "You are all warriors of the Qing Dynasty. You can't embarrass the Qing Dynasty, even if you die, you must burn the ships of the Ming army, attack their barracks, and detain them by the Yalu River!"

After saying these words, he found that the dead soldiers below all lowered their heads, their weapons were drooping, and they looked like people who had no energy, or very little energy.

Azig could see that these dead men obviously didn't want to die, they just had no choice but to be picked.Judging by their mental state and morale, if they really go to attack the Ming army camp, it is probably not much different from sending them to death!
Thinking of this, he became anxious, rolled his eyes, and a thought flashed in his mind, and he immediately shouted: "So much food was robbed by the Ming army, we don't know how many people will starve to death in Qing Dynasty! There are even It may be you and your family members. But Ben Baylor hereby guarantees that as long as you can disturb the Ming army to escape and keep the food, each of you will get a big bag of food!"

Hearing this, it is really more useful than any other words.These dead soldiers immediately raised their heads one by one, looking at Azig with eagerness in their eyes.Compared with just now, he is obviously much more energetic.I don't know who made the promise loudly first, and all the other dead soldiers followed suit, shouting loudly that they must get the food back.

Azig was very happy when he heard this, this is what he looks like!

Looking at the group of dead soldiers with high morale, he couldn't help but look forward to how much damage these dead soldiers could cause the Ming army camp!How much food can be recovered after the reinforcements come up?

Thinking so, he ordered the dead soldiers to go out.

When these dead soldiers filed out of the city gate, a scout from afar came back and reported to Azig, "Master Belle, the Ming army's cavalry has retreated!"

After hearing this, Azig raised his head to look at the western sky. At this time, the setting sun could not be seen, only the afterglow on the horizon, which turned the sky red for a long time.At this time, the cavalry of the Ming army was tired all day, so it's time to go back and rest, right?

Thinking of this, he looked down at the dead soldiers leaving the city. There were many local soldiers of Zhenjiang Fort. They were familiar with the surrounding terrain, so even if it was dark, they would not get lost.The sharp firearms of the Ming army were not convenient to use at night.Calculated in this way, there is still certainty in this raid.

Thinking about it this way, the tight string in Azig's heart can finally relax a bit.He looked up at the sky and prayed secretly in his heart: Tathagata Buddha bless you!

At this time, Cao Bianjiao, the new military commander, was also looking up at the sky like him. However, unlike him, Cao Bianjiao did not seek blessings from the Buddha. The cavalry gathered in rows looked at each other with Feng Dehua, the supervisor beside him, and then said loudly: "We don't have to rest today. We have to set off overnight before the Manqing scouts dare to go deep. Return to Haizhou."

Regardless of which unit the cavalry originally belonged to, they all looked at the young division general, and no one complained.

Following Cao Bianjiao's order, the cavalry immediately moved again, tied up their horses and moved south quietly.It didn't take much effort, and there were no traces of people here.

Speaking of it, it is also fortunate that there is a navy to respond, otherwise not only the transportation of food would be a problem, but also the remains of the dead soldiers and the transfer of the injured soldiers would be troublesome.It's all right now, all of them will be transported away on the ship, without delaying the actions of the cavalry on the shore at all.

The night was getting darker and darker, but there was a full moon in the sky, and the moonlight illuminated the earth, but it was also bright.This night, on the mainland in the east of Liaodong, it was destined to be restless.

In the woods, groups of soldiers from the Manchu Qing Dynasty were actually dead soldiers sent by Azig. Under the guidance of the horses in front, they walked quietly one by one, just like thieves, advancing slowly.They turned their heads to look around from time to time, and even some careful dead soldiers would look up.Fortunately, it is not yet the season of warm spring, the branches are all bare, and the moonlight can also shine into the forest. If you look up, you can see if there is anyone squatting on the top of the tree.

The journey was silent and there was no hidden post of the Ming army, which made the spirits of these Manchu soldiers even more tense.The more they lost sight of the Ming army, and the more time passed, many of them wondered if the Ming army would suddenly appear from nowhere the next time they blinked!

It's no wonder they thought so, it was because the Ming army took too many surprises when they faced them.Not to mention the fact that the Ming army robbed the food this time, who would have thought that the Ming army was ambushing on the mountain not far from Zhenjiang Fort, and suddenly rushed down to rob the food?

Suddenly, there was a sound of "crashing", and the branches of the Manchu soldiers who were walking cautiously were so frightened that their hairs stood on end, like a frightened cat.Although they are dead soldiers, it doesn't mean that they are not afraid of death and sudden movements.Among them, several dead men who were highly stressed subconsciously clenched their weapons and rushed forward.

Suddenly, a person was angry and cursed in a low voice: "Damn beast, you are so scared to death!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that it was not the Ming army.They might have been very happy if they had been in the old days, because if they caught the escaped beast, they would have meat to eat.But at this moment, no one had this thought, and they scolded the fleeing beast in their hearts.

The team became quiet again, and continued to grope in the direction of the Yalu River in a ghostly manner.Many dead soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort knew the place and knew that it was not far from the Yalu River, so they quietly passed on the news that they must wake up their spirits, because they may encounter the Ming army at any time.

And at the head of Zhenjiang Fort, although the temperature is still very low late at night, especially when the cold wind is blowing on people's faces, it still feels very cold.However, Azig, who is so expensive in Baylor, did not hide in the house. He stood on the top of the city, looked up at the moon hanging in the night sky after a while, and asked the people around him who he was What time is it?

At this time, anyone standing beside him could feel his anxiety and uneasiness.But no one talked about him, not because he was Lord Baylor, but because they felt the same way.They are all waiting for those dead men to successfully raid the Ming army!
Or Azige asked a little too many times, and one of his personal guards said to him: "Master, we have the right time, place and people. We will definitely win this battle tonight! You can buy a batch of ships anyway, maybe you can even kill a lot of Ming troops. Master, don’t worry, if it’s not dawn, news will come from the Tanma who will follow up.”

The so-called timing means that the firearms of the Ming army are ignored at night; the location is favorable, the Ming army is not a local;Azig also understood this, so he nodded and became a little quieter.

But he didn't know that the dead soldiers he was looking forward to were already standing by the river, dumbfounded.Carefully and nervously groping all the way, until I reach the river, if I go any further, I will commit suicide by throwing myself into the river!But along the way, there was not even a ghost of the Ming army, let alone a trace of food.

What's happening here?There is such a question mark on the foreheads of all Manchu dead soldiers?But this question will soon be answered.

They soon found a lot of traces on the shore. After all, the four thousand Ming troops were still horse infantry, escorting nearly a thousand surrendered Han troops and Eight Banners, and the carts of grain trucks stayed here. Next, that can only be said to be too ridiculous.

"It's over, it's over, the Ming army has already left by boat!" A dead man was thinking about the food, and after a little despair, he sat down on the muddy ground by the river and muttered to himself.

However, some dead soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't say anything on the surface, they were grateful in their hearts that they didn't have to fight to the death!
The leader of the dead soldiers saw his subordinates sitting powerlessly by the river, but he was anxious, and quickly ordered the people around him: "Master Baylor is still waiting for news, go back and report."

"My lord, the little man's legs are cramped, and he can't walk!" The man didn't obey, and fell to the ground, rubbing his legs vigorously, as if he really had cramps.

When the man saw it, he frowned, and didn't care whether it was true or not. He immediately ordered another person beside him, but that person also found a reason to shirk.At this moment, he understood that no one wanted to go back and report the news to Azig.

But no one went back to report, so he used military coercion, and finally forced one of his men to go back and report.Those dead men looked at the man leaving with some sympathy. Although they couldn't see it with their own eyes, they could imagine how that Lord Baylor would lose his temper!
At this time, on the other side of the Yalu River, there was a lot of movement on the official road, and the sound of horseshoes attracted the attention of the Sinuiju defenders.

"Duoduo Baylor returns to help, open the city gate immediately!"

Hearing the shouts coming from below the city, the Manchu and Qing soldiers on the top of the city were not very interested. The Ming army had already left before dark, returning to help, what a fart to return to help!
However, the people in the city were obviously in a hurry, and they were full of regret in their tone, shouting continuously, telling them to open the city gate quickly: "...Didn't you hear? Lord Baylor has been traveling non-stop in order to arrive at the rescue in time. The Ming army is fighting, let Lord Belle rest quickly!"

　Thanks anniexie for the reward!
