Beiyang new warlord

The one who was beaten was rolling all over the ground, Master Pu was shameless, crying and begging for mercy.

"Master Jin!"

Really couldn't stand it anymore, Mao Jue also stepped forward, hugged Jin Zidian's arm and dragged him back, put the old man to sit on the ground panting heavily, hugging his arms, Mao Jue asked solemnly.

"Master Park, when did the Japanese pirates attack? How many troops did they have?"

After being pulled up from the ground with great difficulty, the official surnamed Pu lost his hat and moaned in despair.

"About noon in the morning, there were two groups of Japanese pirates, one came from the direction of Jeonju, and the other came from the sea! The densely packed subordinate officials didn't know how many people there were. By the way, the Japanese pirates also had cannons! There were also cavalry! One by one It's scary to have a skeleton on your waist!"

"Really so many?"

Now that he managed to catch his breath, Jin Zidian was frightened again and shouted in horror.Fearing that the old man had a heart attack, he jerked him away, and Mao Jue hurriedly took him by the arm and dragged him aside.

"Lord Jin, don't worry, if you want to transport tens of thousands of horses across the sea to attack, there is no fleet of hundreds of people who can't do it. If there is such a huge fleet and troops, the current Japanese pirates have already established their forces on Wa Island, and they will not be defeated. He is like a dog that has lost its family, and is in constant fear at sea."

"There are thousands of people, at most!"

Mao Jue didn't say anything, he saved Jin Zidian's face, according to Gao Li's bragging ability, cow dung can blow out flowers, the city guard was obviously scared to pee, it's no wonder he didn't brag.

Mao Jue is a man of knowledge and a professional. His analysis can be regarded as causing Jin Zi to order an old heart to thump back, but the old guy still smashed his shoes on the other end and knelt on the ground trembling. Master Park.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and prepare barracks for the army! Get lost!"

Quickly kowtowed and scrambled, Master Pu slipped away.

The fire was extinguished in the middle of the night, and the county town of Kunshan was still crowded with villagers who had fled nearby. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass have gone first! No matter how powerful the army is without food, it will not be able to fight. More than 2 shi Less than half of the army's rations were robbed, more than half were burned, and the victims had to be assisted. Jin Zidian's army of beggars was tied up in the mountain city again, and had to allocate food and salaries from the north again.

He trained hard at home, but he had to conserve his soldiers' physical strength when he was outside, so as to achieve the best combat effect. He shrank his own soldiers in the barracks, and Mao Jue himself had a moment of leisure, wandering around the low city wall.

"very strange!"

Just as he was lying on the battlements talking and looking down boredly, a pleasant cry sounded in Mao Jue's ear.

"What's the matter, girl?"

This time, Su Yi was ruthlessly locked up at home, and followed her husband Mao Wenlong back to Phi Island, and then to Tieshan, but Adeleina was fed up with helping Mao Jue grow potatoes and tobacco leaves at home, anyway, these things are already gone. Started to get on the right track, and showed a bunch of "civil engineer certificates", "battlefield nurse certificates", and "logistics commander certificates". This girl got her wish and infiltrated into our party and became a member of Mao Jue's pro-corps.

Listening to Mao Jue turning around and asking, the girl pointed down her white and tender fingers wrapped in cotton armor.

"Yesterday, Mr. Park emphasized that the Japanese pirate army has cannons! But why is there no cannon marks on this city wall?"

Indeed, after going through siege battles, arrows stuck inside can be seen on the dilapidated rammed earth walls, holes made by firecrackers, and there are really no traces of shells in the riddled holes.

Not only that, on the messy battlefield, the cavalry that Mr. Park said did not leave a horseshoe mark.

But for this, Mao Jue didn't pay much attention to it, and waved his hand lightly.

"Pu is bragging! If you haven't seen him before, he might even be able to show you a tank!"

"What is a tank? And young master! If he was overly frightened, he could exaggerate the number of Japanese pirates. Why did he then mention that there are cannons and cavalry to exaggerate the strength of Japanese pirates? Also, at this time"

Before Adelaine could finish her words, there was a sudden and violent sound of clappers, and someone in the distant barracks shouted loudly about the enemy's attack! Her heart twitched suddenly, but Mao Jue's face Excited, he reached out and put the beaten helmet on Adelaina's head, grabbed her hand and ran down the city wall, obviously wanting to say something, but the city was full of messy soldiers and horses running down , this girl had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

In less than 3 minutes, the Tieshan pro-corps took the lead in setting up an army formation on the avenue. A Mao character, a Ming character, and two large banners fluttered like flames. Twenty tiger squatting cannons and two red cannons were also retreated. To the front, on the two wings, although Liu Chong did not come to train the newcomers, Shen Rong led the cavalry, still full of evil spirits, and the restless horses trampled on their hooves.

Even Mao Jue himself was pacing back and forth in the army formation with a flintlock gun in his hand.

Foreign monks can recite scriptures, and it seems that Jin Zidian also thinks so. Li Chaodao soldiers have not yet assembled, and this time he also brought a few Koryo swordsman soldiers to Mao Jue's army town, and his forehead was full of sweat. Looking around, he yelled worriedly in Mao Jue's ear.

"It's really here!"

"General Xiao Mao, are you sure? If not, let's retreat to the city defense?"

Really tired of listening, Mao Jue simply waved back.

"Master Jin, you should hurry up and prepare the archer array! Leave it to me here!"

Being commanded by a young man, Jin Zidian didn't realize this at all, and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes! This old man is going!"

On the top of the city, two people from the logistics battalion were looking forward with binoculars, and they were almost within range. Xiao Chunzi and another artillery sentry officer personally turned the handle and lowered the angle of the gun body. The bottom of the gunpowder was loaded, and the black and shiny shot put shells were stuffed in from the cast iron muzzle, 30 taels per person! Stimulated by the bounty, two artillery posts were personally igniting the artillery fire.

But at this juncture, on the top of the city behind, Jin Zidian suddenly yelled loudly, and turned around in shock, Mao Jue seemed to hear him calling someone of his own again!

Bang! The knife hit the butt of the cannon, and the matchlock that had burned to the hole of the gun narrowly fell down, but the other cannon was too late, and with a deafening roar, a flame more than half a meter long sprayed out.

What an oolong, it turned out to be Quanzhou Quanzhou soldier Cao Juanlang Li Shanhai's Taoist soldiers, this cannon went down and hit the crowd, overturning six or seven North Korean soldiers and horses, killing three One was lost, fortunately it was a solid shell, if it were shot or grape shells, the casualties might be even greater.

But Mao Jue can't be blamed for this. Normally, even friendly troops would send envoys to communicate with each other before joining forces. He suddenly killed a place less than three or four miles away from Gunshan County without making a sound. Who knows if it was a sneak attack by Japanese pirates? ?

After more than a dozen messenger soldiers exchanged back and forth, the big bosses of both sides met in front of the battle. This Li Shanhai is actually quite young, in his mid-thirties and less than forty years old, wearing a black gauze hat and a green shirt, a bit old-fashioned The feeling of Professor Du, but at this time it is angry that the nose is not the nose and the face is not the face, so you must yell angrily.

"Master Jin, why did you fire at our army!"

Jin Zidian also had no good temper, and roared angrily, "Lord Li! You suddenly came to the city without making a sound, and you didn't even send an envoy. Who knows where you are? Your army is not guarding Quanzhou. What are you doing in the mountains?"

These words made Li's surname even more furious, and he yelled wildly on the horse.

"It's not the military order issued by you, Mr. Jin. You are besieged by Japanese pirates in Gunshan County. Do you want to send troops from all over the state to support it?"

In an instant, Mao Jue and Jin Zidian's expressions changed again. After being dumbfounded for a moment, old man Jin jumped off the horse and grabbed Li Shanhai's clothes hem suddenly.

"Immediately go back to Quanzhou, I've been fooled!"

With the lessons learned from last time, and with 2000 soldiers from the Li Shanhai Department, Jin Zidian retained one of his trusted generals, and [-] troops guarded them before they were mobilized to the capital of Qunshan County. He rushed towards Jeonju, the capital of Jeolla Province, but this time, he came one step too late.

In the evening of the next day, after crossing Xiaoluo Mountain, the begging army arrived at the city of Quanzhou. What was left to them was already a mess. Soldiers, as well as civilians, a city wall has been shot like a hedgehog, in the middle of the sky, the burning houses outside the city emit billowing black smoke into the air.

The official of the Ministry of War kicked his horse in horror, and led hundreds of cavalry, which is rare in the Korean army, to rush into the city first. The upper veins were throbbing, and Mao Jue lowered his flintlock feebly.

Let people go by the nose again!

Chapter 99. Make trouble

Jeolla-do Jeolla-do, the full word, is Jeonju, and here is also the seat of Jeolla-do. Although it is not comparable to Shenyang and Tieling, the big cities in Liaodong, it still has a population of 3 to [-]. It is a history in the Li Dynasty. A big city with a long history.

In particular, this is the center of the Hunan Plain, rich in products. Almost all wealthy families in Jeolla-do choose to settle here, but such a safe-like boundary has been pried open today.

Tianjie is full of public servants, and there is no half of the rich family! It is also staged here. It seems that the Japanese pirates are kind, and the slums in the northwest city have not moved. The high gate of the family was eclipsed. Some gates fell out and there were people crying at the gates. Seeing the soldiers crossing the border, these people were able to bear it. What kind of rotten vegetables, leaves, stones and soil clods, fell like raindrops. Mao Jue was so unlucky that two of his own soldiers had to carry the shield beside him, so that the lieutenant general didn't suffer.

The rule of the gentry is clearly evident here. Before reaching the yamen, an old man with a high crown and a bodhisattva wearing green pine brocade stood up and stopped the army. Swear.
