Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 20 Garrisoning the Daling River

The Daling River can be described as the front line of the front line, which is still in the left front of Jinzhou.Further forward is the area actually controlled by the Qing army.

"Bah, this is so special that we are going to die." Sun Erlen punched the ground, furious.

In front of the military tent, Zhu Changyuan sat there thinking for a while, and explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly.

"What do you call it? You didn't cause the trouble alone." Yan Hong reprimanded Sun Er for a while, and said with the same worry: "My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us this time. I heard that we went to Daling River before. Whether it’s the garrison or the commander in the village, none of them came back.”

Not to mention that there is no danger to defend the Daling River, there is not a decent city yet, it is just a military settlement, which can be easily breached.In the past, Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, had stationed troops in Dalinghe, but he didn't defend it either.

The key is that they are too close to the Qing army on the opposite side, and those Tartars are too cunning, watching you build the city from the other side of the river, and come to attack and destroy it when your city is almost built.So it is still very difficult to gain a foothold in Dalinghe.

Furthermore, once you are unable to gain a firm foothold and the imperial court has no edict to recall you, then you can only fight guerrilla warfare with Huang Taiji's soldiers on this river beach.Therefore, the generals who have stationed troops in Dalinghe in the past did not end well.

However, Daling River is an important strategic location. If it can really gain a firm foothold there, it will undoubtedly be a nail for the entire Ningjin defense line, making it extremely stable.

Zhu Changyuan had no choice but to go, because just after Governor Wu finished speaking, a long-lost voice came from his mind: The Governor issued a phased task to go to Dalinghe to station troops, whether to accept it.

And at that time Zhu Changyuan actually chose yes habitually, now, if he doesn't go, he has to go.

Besides, the governor is the biggest official in the entire Jiliao area, so it's okay not to listen to him.

"Go!" Zhu Changyuan stood up suddenly, and said, "In the past, I was just trying to see how powerful the Tazi's cavalry was." Then he looked at Sun Erlen and said, "I don't blame you for Erlen's matter, it's just someone looking for fault."

Li Sandao: "These bastards never open their eyes to us pirate-born troops."

Zhu Changyuan said: "It's okay, we don't have to care about other people's opinions. One day, our team will be famous for thousands of miles. Let's clean up and follow me to Dalinghe."

Let's go, each soldier sorted out his simple luggage, three or four hundred people took a few supplies, and more than 400 horses, and walked towards the direction of the Daling River.

More than 20 war horses are a lot to say, but in this team of nearly 400 people, they seem to be very few.And these horses are all used to pull things.

The Daling River was in front of Jinzhou on the left. There was originally a dilapidated military settlement, only [-] miles away from Jinzhou, and less than [-] miles away from Ningyuan. It was the outpost of Jinzhou City.

The 400 troops marched along the official road and arrived at Daling River in two days.

The Daling River is a river, and the Daling River Army Garrison was built by the river, surrounded by wide river alluvial plains, suitable for farming, but not suitable for garrison guards.Due to the terrain, this place can only be a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

A small-scale city wall that has been destroyed countless times stands here. The other side of the river is the territory of the Qing army. Now there is no army, and it is all withered weeds at a glance.

"My lord, there is bad news!"

Yan Hong ran over to report.

"what happened?"

Yan Hong frowned: "Half of the army rations have been eaten, even if there is no fighting, brothers save some food, we only have food for five days."

"Oh, this is not a problem. I have enough military rations." What Zhu Changyuan is least worried about is the military rations, which are not enough to eat. We can go to the modern society to buy them. A large carriage can feed you people for ten and a half days. It's the month.

"Okay, everyone, stay here for a rest today, and we will start building the city tomorrow."

As soon as Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, the mechanical voice came from his mind: After completing the first stage of the task of stationing troops in the Daling River, he received a reward: ten books on basic military fortification skills, and a contribution value of [-] points.

"what?"

Zhu Changyuan didn't dare to elaborate on his own ears. In the first stage of a task of stationing troops, he got [-] points of reward contribution. This special code is too unreliable. I haven't started yet.Obtaining this contribution value is a bit too easy.

Is it because Governor Wu is a big NPC?

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it.Zhu Changyuan took out the ten military fortification skill books from the system interface, ate one by himself, feeling average, and then quietly knocked on Yan Hong, Ma Hai, Polu, and Sun Erleng and Li three respectively. One.The remaining four books were all eaten by myself.

I don’t know who built the ruins of the original Dalinghe small city. It is a square city about 200 meters long and wide. Used for building walls.

Yan Hong came over, frowned at the dilapidated city wall less than two meters high, and chattered behind Zhu Changyuan's buttocks: "My lord, it's not that we don't want to do it. Look at this city wall. The former Zongbing Zu brought at least Tens of thousands of people built the city, and we only have more than 300 people, and it will last until the year of the monkey.”

"How many people do we have now? I want an accurate number." Zhu Changyuan asked, ignoring Yan Hong's question.

Yan Hong was taken aback by his sudden question, thought for a while and said: "If you bring Brothers Ma Hai and Brother Polu, there will be a total of 380 four people." Thinking that Zhu Changyuan was going to ask about military rations, he said: "According to the least estimate , consumes [-] catties of rice every day.”

Four hundred catties, that is, four snakeskin bags, is not too much.

Zhu Changyuan said: "You call all our brothers over, I have important arrangements."

After a while, Yan Hong led 380 people to line up in front of Zhu Changyuan. As for their formation?Zhu Changyuan was not too flattered.Not to mention twists and turns, walking postures are not neat, there are some with knives, some with swords, some are carrying a long spear, and some even have only wooden sticks in their hands.

"Okay, brothers, four people from 380." Zhu Changyuan pondered for a while, and asked Yan Hong: "When you guys were chasing the sea for piracy, who was usually in charge of setting up the front station and exploring the way?"

Li San touched his head and said, "It's usually me."

"Okay, I'll give you half a stick of incense to pick out 59 of these soldiers, including you exactly [-], and stand at the back after being picked out." Zhu Changyuan's voice was loud.

Li Sandao: "Okay." Turn around and pick someone.
