Chongzhen Chat Group

At the top of Zhenjiang Fort, the guard general led a group of people to watch the food convoy disappear into the distance. A group of people waited, unwilling to leave for a long time. After a long time, I didn't know who it was, and sighed: "There is so much food, what a pity, not a single bag is left!"

Someone heard this and couldn't help but sigh: "Look how hungry we are! If I had known earlier, I should have secretly hid a few bags of food last night!"

"They are closely guarded. Can you steal food?"

"Is there anything impossible? After all, this is our territory..."

When the guard of Zhenjiang Fort heard this, he couldn't stand it any longer, and he reprimanded: "Okay, take it all in. Those grains were used by the emperor to deal with the Ming army at the Anshan Posthouse at critical moments. Who wants it?" If you dare to take advantage of these grains, be careful when you move your head!"

After hearing him speak, his men didn't dare to speak anymore, but their sighs remained the same.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort did not stop them from sighing. After all, he understood the mood of these men. I don’t have enough to eat every day, even if I don’t see any food. Last night, with so much food in front of us, it was impossible not to think about it.

Thinking of this, he also sighed, touched his flat belly without leaving any trace, and said: "I hope that with these grains, our Qing Dynasty can withstand the autumn harvest. Now there is no Horqin tribe causing trouble behind the scenes, and the people in the north are The food will definitely be received in the warehouse. And in North Korea, I heard that His Royal Highness the Emperor is also planting a large amount of food. By next year, we will all have enough to eat. By then, it will be time to settle the accounts with the Ming Dynasty! "

Hearing this, his subordinates, who were a little sluggish at first, suddenly seemed to be a different person. They suddenly became energetic. Some of them even asked the Zhenjiang Fort guard: "Will the food be really edible by then?" Already?"

"It can definitely be eaten!" The guard of Zhenjiang Fort naturally answered in the affirmative. After hearing this, one of his men couldn't help but said: "When I have food, I will definitely store enough food at home. This feeling of starvation is something I never want to have again!”

After hearing this, many people had expressions like "You are telling me what I feel like." After they looked forward to the bright future on the top of the city, they finally felt that it was pointless to keep saying this, and some of them had stomach growling. So, they were ready to go down to the top of the city, where they should lie down, and when it was time to get some food, they went to get some food.

But at this moment, someone suddenly stopped and turned to look at the distance of the official road and said, "Listen, there seems to be some sound?"

"What kind of noise could there be?" Someone heard this and said disapprovingly, "Everyone has gone away. Don't you think that those grain bags have grown legs on their own and ran back to our Zhenjiang Fort?"

Upon hearing this, these people all laughed loudly, and then prepared to go down to the city. But after a while, there was faint movement, and many people felt it.

"What is this sound?" Someone asked instinctively in confusion.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort walked quickly to the outer wall, looked at the official road winding away, listened carefully, and suddenly his face changed and said: "It seems... there seems to be a fight?"

Not sure, but with his many years of experience on the battlefield, he immediately thought of this.

After hearing this, the others saw a horse galloping towards Zhenjiang Fort at the end of the official road before they could distinguish it carefully. Everyone looked carefully and recognized him as a detective from the food protection team. Suddenly, the people on the top of the city felt their hearts twitching, feeling that something was not good.

Sure enough, before the scouting horse came near, after seeing someone on the top of the city, he stood up from his horse, waved his hands, and shouted anxiously: "There is an ambush by the Ming army, hurry up and reinforce! There is an ambush by the Ming army. Hurry up and get reinforcements..."

At first I couldn't hear or see clearly. But soon, the people on the top of the city saw the anxious expression of Tan Ma clearly and heard his shouts. Suddenly, the people on the city were anxious.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort turned around hurriedly and ordered loudly: "Quick, gather troops and horses, and reinforce immediately."

His men all followed him and ran down the city. After hearing this, they all agreed. But then, a discordant voice of questioning immediately rang out: "Sir, how can we go to war when everyone is hungry?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was leaving in a hurry immediately felt as if their footsteps had taken root and could no longer move.

At this time, Tan Ma had already rushed into the city. He shouted loudly and recalled the spirit of the guard of Zhenjiang Fort. He immediately ordered: "Why are you still standing there? Release the food reserves immediately and find all the edible things." , let everyone put something in advance, if we send troops too late, the emperor will certainly punish us!"

At this point, he paused and added: "So much food cannot be taken away by the Ming army again!"

Thinking of so much food, everyone immediately quickened their pace and went to prepare.

In just this moment, a horse galloped over, shouting that the Ming army was ambushed, the grain team was in danger, rescue them quickly, etc., and then continued along the official road without entering Zhenjiang Fort.

When the guard of Zhenjiang Fort saw it, he knew that he was going to Sinuiju on the other side of the Yalu River to move reinforcements. Thinking like this, he gained a little more confidence. If this continues, the Qing army will definitely become more and more numerous. Even if the Ming army can defeat the army protecting the food, they will definitely not be able to escape. The only worry now is that the Ming army will burn the food!

Before the soldiers and horses of Zhenjiang Fort had time to go out to fight, they saw a large group of cavalry rushing down the official road. They abandoned their helmets and armor, and they were in a very embarrassed state. When the guard of Zhenjiang Fort saw it, he immediately became anxious. Needless to say, those cavalry troops must be from the Qing Dynasty. If it was from the Ming army, it would be impossible for them to rush to Zhenjiang Fort after losing the battle. This means that the food protection team was defeated?

Thinking about it this way, he felt that it was a little impossible. You must know that the food protection team, with Azigbele leading 2,000 troops and Duke Yanguli leading 1,000 troops, including 2,000 Manchu warriors, how could they be defeated so quickly?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly discovered that among the cavalry who had escaped back was none other than Master Azigbele! He has escaped, so he is definitely defeated! The first thing the Zhenjiang Fort guard thought was, it’s over, there’s so much food, it’s all over!

Azig fled back to Zhenjiang Fort in one breath. His helmet fell off at some point. He turned over and dismounted, gasping for air. At the same time, he shouted to the Zhenjiang Fort guard who hurried to him: "Quick, gather all your troops and horses immediately." Get up, and send out scouting horses to investigate the movements of the Ming army and collect the defeated troops. We must take back those grains!"

After hearing this, the guard of Zhenjiang Fort immediately agreed, but he knew in his heart that since so much food fell into the hands of the Ming army, he was afraid that he would not be able to get it back.

But no matter what, a dead horse must be treated as a living horse doctor, so he immediately sent out detective horses to search along the official road.

After drinking an unknown amount of water in one breath, the frightened Azig finally regained his composure. At this time, he remembered and asked his bodyguard: "Where is Yanguli? Where are the others?"

The personal guards who had followed him back were only concerned with protecting Azig and escaping for his life. They were still concerned with observing the battlefield and looking for traces of Yangu Li. Therefore, when Azig asked, no one could answer.

Finally, an older guard replied: "Mr. Yangguli is mature and prudent, and he should be fine. Maybe he evacuated to Tangzhan Fort. He will definitely let Tangzhan Fort send troops." , and then pass it back on horseback, and then gather more people and horses. Our two groups of soldiers and horses will chase the Ming army, and we will definitely be able to take back the food!"

Hearing this, Azig's face finally looked a little better. He nodded and agreed with this statement. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked quickly: "Has the messenger for help been sent to Sinuiju?"

"Master Baylor, we have already sent him before." His bodyguard immediately replied.

Azig thought of Duduo's thousand soldiers and horses. He urgently needed these thousand soldiers and horses at this time. Therefore, after hearing this, he felt that it was not safe, so he immediately ordered: "Quickly, send another messenger. Send a messenger immediately to the front." When you go to Sinuiju, be sure to ask Dodo to come for reinforcements. If he is no longer in Sinuiju, keep chasing him, catch up with him and ask him to come back for reinforcements."

The personal guard originally thought that he would not need to send another one since he had already sent one, but when he thought about Azig's mood at this time, he did not dare to say this, so he immediately sent another messenger according to Azig's wishes.

Time passed slowly, but Azig felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, unable to sit still at all. The number of defeated soldiers who escaped was not as high as expected. This means that I am afraid that most of the troops in the food protection team have been poisoned by the Ming army. Otherwise, he would definitely escape to the nearest Zhenjiang Fort without any instructions.

If we can't collect enough defeated troops, how can we be a match for the Ming army if we just rely on these rural soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort? Thinking of this, Azig's mind immediately recalled the scene where the Ming army suddenly appeared. The cavalry of the Ming Army actually had a division of labor. They anticipated the possible reaction on their side, and in just one round of charge, they blocked the side and charged into two!

Thinking of this, Azig didn't know what was going on, and felt a sense of fear. At this time, he finally understood why the food protection teams were always robbed by the Ming army in the past? But then he couldn't understand why the Ming army was so well prepared that even the infantry came back?

While he was thinking wildly, someone suddenly screamed on the top of the city. Azig heard the sound and quickly looked up, only to see the Ming cavalry coming this way in the distance from the official road.

what's the situation? Could it be that the Ming army had not just robbed the food, but also wanted to attack Zhenjiang Fort? Thinking like this, Azig was frightened. He immediately ordered: "Quick, quick, everyone goes to the top of the city to defend!"

At this time, most of the troops in Zhenjiang Fort were busy preparing for battle. When they heard this, they all ran to the top of the city.

In just a moment, the Ming cavalry was already close. I saw some of the cavalrymen with excellent equestrian skills, roaring close to the Zhenjiang Fort, which was waiting for them, with smiles and ridicule, provoking the Manchu soldiers on the city wall. Even Azig's handsome flag was picked up by them, and it was humiliated in front of Azig at the top of the city.

This made Azig's face turn red, but he did not dare to order to go out to fight at all. He just held his hands on the city wall, trembling slightly. At this time, he once again experienced the feeling when the Ming army defending the city was humiliated by the rebels outside the city.

He tried hard not to look at the provocative cavalry. When he looked up, behind the cavalry, he could already see from a distance the Ming army infantry escorting the grain carts coming this way.

At this time, he became confused and couldn't help but ask: "What are these Ming troops going to do? Where are they going with the food?"

If we go this way, we will go to North Korea. He doesn't understand why the Ming army doesn't withdraw to the south, but instead goes to North Korea?

Hearing this, one of his guards suddenly realized and shouted: "Master, it's bad, the Ming army has navy, they must want to leave by sea."

When he said this, Azig suddenly remembered. So, he was really panicked.

If the Ming army returned by land, they would definitely not be able to move quickly with so much food. After gathering the reinforcements here, they chased them all the way. They would definitely be able to catch them back from such a long distance. But if the Ming army walked by sea, Zhenjiang Fort would be on the Yalu River. Once the Ming army got on the boat, the Qing Dynasty would have no choice but to stare blankly!

Thinking of Huang Taiji's face after losing this life-saving food, Azig couldn't stand still. He immediately ordered: "Quickly, gather the troops and go out of the city to fight. No matter what, we must block the Ming army here!"

Zhenjiang Fort is only on the edge of the official road. As long as the Ming army continues eastward along the official road, there is no need to capture Zhenjiang Fort. It is also for this reason that Azig has this order. Otherwise, he couldn't bear to watch the grain truck drive away in front of him. The same was true for the defender of Zhenjiang Fort, and he couldn't bear it either. As a result, the city immediately became busy again. Even though they had just been defeated by the Ming army and their morale was not high, they thought that the food would be snatched away by the Ming army in front of their eyes. This was something they would never allow, so they all plucked up the courage to prepare. Out for battle.

Seeing the movement on the top of the city, Lu Xiangsheng didn't care at all and just nodded to the new military advisor Cao Bianjiao. Then, I saw groups of infantry advancing up and blocking the area within a stone's throw of the Zhenjiang Fort gate. They were standing in rows, waiting for the enemy to leave the city. As for the grain truck, it just went as it should. Except for the Han Eight Banners who were captured, who were a little panicked and a little at a loss, the others didn't take the Manchu and Qing soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort seriously at all.

This kind of thing would have been unimaginable a few years ago, but now, they think it should be so!

As soon as the gate of Zhenjiang Fort opened, the Manchu and Qing cavalry rushed out first and rushed towards the infantry formation where the Ming army had assembled, trying to lure the Ming army into firing as before. Because they saw that these Ming soldiers all held muskets in their hands.

But they found that none of these Ming soldiers were panicked. There are many veterans among these Manchu and Qing cavalry. According to their experience, as long as they make a full attack posture, some Ming soldiers will not be able to help but fire, and then lead other soldiers to follow suit.

Thanks to Hope Heaven for the reward!
