Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 74: Ambush Saharian

Commander of the Chinese Army.

In order to raid Luanzhou, Ma Shilong allocated all the Liao troops near Zunhua to He Kegang. Now all the generals gathered together to compliment each other and congratulate each other. The tents were also decorated with lights and colors, and there was a lot of joy.

As soon as they entered the tent, Li Shunzu and the others noticed all kinds of looks coming from all directions.

There is admiration, there is a rush towards them, and there is even a look of disgust that avoids them.

However, Li Shunzu is no longer the reckless boy who first set foot on Guangqumen City. All kinds of strange looks failed to make waves in his heart. After entering the tent, he took several generals from the Shenshu Camp with him. , come to the right position and stand.

“Director He is so handsome—!”

Outside the tent, a voice sang an order.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became calm, and all the generals looked up.

He Kegang, wearing silver mountain armor, led his soldiers in from outside the tent. By the time he reached the commander's desk on the north side, the tent had become completely silent.

"Everyone is here. This promotion is a happy event."

"First, according to the investigation of the night sent by this commander, the slave chief Amin stationed in Yongping has begun to withdraw tonight. The Dongnu has not been seen in the captured villages outside Yongping City."

"It seems that Dongnu is afraid!"

This is indeed good news. Since the Dongnu invaded, the Liao army has been working hard to stop the slave cavalry in various places in Jifu. However, the Beijing army only knows how to retreat into the city and fight in the wild. Almost all the Liao troops have done it.

Although this allowed the Liao army to make many meritorious deeds, it also caused heavy losses to these experienced soldiers. Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhao Lijiao was originally stationed in Jinzhou, and thousands of his cavalry were wiped out. It was a complete blow to Jinzhou's city defense. A serious blow.

The casualties of thousands of cavalry who were worthy of fighting in the wild field are not something that any dynasty can easily bear. This price is painful for the current Liaodong military equipment, and even for the entire Ming Dynasty.

In addition to Zhao Lijiao, the Liao troops from various ministries aiding Beijing also suffered heavy casualties.

Hearing the news that Amin had begun to retreat from Yongping, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this also means that the Liao army can return to Yongping without a fight and does not have to go through another bloody battle like the Luanhe River.

Many soldiers will save their lives and continue to return to their posts in Liaodong to shine and fight with the Dongnu for life.

This is great news for Liaodong.

He Kegang watched the generals in the tent laughing and joking with each other, and felt very happy in his heart.

"It seems like we only need to rest in Luanzhou for a few days before we can recapture Yongping without any effort?" A Liao general wearing a general's armor asked at the head of the handsome case. At this moment, everyone's last question issue concerned.

He Kegang smiled slightly and said, "That's about it."

After receiving a positive answer, everyone embraced and celebrated, laughing happily.

At this time, He Kegang looked at the silent people in Shenshu camp and nodded slightly.

Li Shunzu noticed the grateful look from above and responded with a slight wink, which was a tacit understanding with He Kegang.

However, just like Li Shunzu could not repay his merits to He Jian in an upright manner, He Kegang could not repay his merits to Shenshuying in an upright manner.

"According to Ye Bu's detective report, last night, there was a group of Zhenghong Banner Dongnu Cavalry, transporting a large number of people and baggage out of Yongping East to Funing. The number of this group of slave cavalry is about a thousand, and the number may not be accurate, but Ye Bu Judging from the hoof prints, the difference is only about two thousand."

"This group of slaves has captured a large number of people, tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands."

As he spoke, He Kegang looked heavy, clenched his fists, and hammered the case in front of him.

"So many people have suffered unreasonable disasters and been dragged away from their hometowns by the Eastern slaves. Our department cannot sit idly by and ignore them!"

He Kegang looked at the quiet handsome tent and glanced around.

"For those who take the initiative to stand up, I will ask for credit from Your Majesty on behalf of your troops after the war!"

At this time, a guerrilla general came out and said: "Commander Commander, our Liao army units have fought many field battles with slaves since they came in for reinforcements, and the damage was not small. There are more than a thousand slaves riding on them. If you want to set up an ambush, you will need at least [-]."

"If the number of people varies too much, even ten thousand won't be enough. It would be unethical for Rong Biao to say, we'd better not control these people."

The final word set off a series of debates.The generals of the Liao army in the tent, some who were in charge of the battle, and some who were thinking of calling it quits, were having heated discussions with each other. Some of them were so hot-tempered that they even rolled up their sleeves on the spot and went out to make gestures.

"I think what Zheng Youyi said is right. We should not get involved in this matter. The people of Yongping Prefecture are under the jurisdiction of Yongping Prefecture. Speaking more broadly, it is also Jifu's business. Our Liao army only needs to fight back the Dongnu, and the rest Whatever it does?"

"I think so too! Commander, it's not because our brothers are afraid of the enemy and avoid fighting. Since our Liao army came in for reinforcements, there have been many bloody battles. The commander is his own brother, and he has seen it all. If it weren't for Ning Yuanbo and Li Xunwei, your majesty I made it clear in front of me that I have obtained justice and food for our army, but my brothers have long been unable to support it now, and they have no heart to fight anymore."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, we are all generals in each town. We have to protect the territory and think about the overall situation when we go back! It would be fine if everything goes well here, but if a war breaks out and the slave chief Amin comes back for reinforcements, there will be complications. Not to mention, if Yongping falls again and the success is too great, it may affect the overall situation!"

"Fart! You are all a bunch of cowards, are you just going to sit back and watch Dong Nu take away these tens of thousands of people?"

"Hmph, if we, the Liao Army, don't save these people, wouldn't we be looked down upon by those Beijing Army rats? The world will still think that we, the Liao Army, and the Beijing Army are the same as each other. Where can I put my old face, brothers?"

"I think it still needs to be taken care of. I sent people to investigate among the people and learned that most of the people taken away by the Dongnu were young adults. These people were taken back by the Dongnu and would inevitably be taken to the farm as slaves. Young and strong people were taken away by the Dongnu. They will also be dragged onto the battlefield, and they will all be the enemies we need to face."

"One move can affect the whole body. The commander-in-chief should think twice!"

He Kegang had already anticipated this controversy.

But he already had a plan in his mind, but he just couldn't express it clearly.

Only a few confidants knew about the agreement secretly discussed with Amin. All the generals of the Liao army were subordinate to their respective generals. They shared the honor and disgrace during the war, so they were naturally united, but it was not possible to return to Liaodong.

It doesn't sound good no matter how you say it, a private meeting to let the slave chief go.

He Kegang thought of something and suddenly looked to one side.

"Li Shunzu, what do you think?"

Li Shunzu heard this and took a step forward.

The generals of the Liao army in the camp have heard about the famous Ning Yuan Bo Xunwei many times in recent days. They also know that Li Shunzu recovered justice and food for the Liao army, so they all have some respect in their hearts.

In addition, Li Shunzu was the designated candidate to be the next Ning Yuanbo after Li Rusong died in the Mongolian battle. The Li family still had some power in Liaodong, and many of the generals present were the descendants of Li Chengliang and Li Rusong.

"I think this battle should be fought."

"No matter whether Dongnu takes away tens of thousands of people or 10,000+ people, this battle will be fought."

"Xu Dongnu, a subordinate under Biao, also sent people to investigate the people. Most of the people who were kidnapped were young women and children. If Xu Dongnu calmly coerced him out of seclusion, he would definitely be on the battlefield of our army in the future. 's archenemy."

"In the future, I don't know how many soldiers will die at their hands. This is one of them!"

Li Shunzu ignored the buzzing discussions around him, calmed down, and continued: "Secondly, no matter whether Dongnu took people or plundered supplies when he went back this time, even if they went back empty-handed, We can’t let them succeed either.”

"Where is this? This is the land of the Ming Dynasty. This is not a place where they can come and leave whenever they want."

"We will make them pay the price. We will make the East slaves who escaped back tremble in fear the next time they think of being invaded. We will make their fathers, brothers and relatives in the country also taste the feeling of their relatives being slaughtered!"

"eye for eye!"

After Li Shunzu finished speaking, the buzz in the tent gradually turned into silence.

But soon, voices sounded.

"Well said, let them pay with blood!"

"In this battle, I want to let Dong Nu know that there is no such thing as a good thing in the world that can come and go as he pleases!"

"Even if we can't completely annihilate Dongnu, we still have to dampen their spirit and make them afraid to face our Liao army!"

He Kegang looked at the exciting situation in the tent and was very surprised at the turn of events. He looked to one side and said loudly: "Well said! In this case, I am determined to have Li Shunzu lead the Shenshu Camp to set up an ambush!"

"I personally lead the Tuanshan Camp and the Biao Camp behind the formation to support at any time. All the troops are performing their duties. As soon as Amin retreats, the three armies will come together to recover Yongping!"

All the generals in the tent were also mobilized, clasping fists together, saluting, and shouting in unison.

"We will obey the Commander-in-Chief's military orders!"
