Chapter 285 Guerrilla War

That night, Emperor Chongzhen fell asleep happily.But Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai far away in the Korean peninsula, was far from having such a good life, or he asked for it himself.

In a barren mountain depression, Lu Xiangsheng hid here with two thousand Ming soldiers, relying on the temporary tents to escape the cold.At dawn, a North Korean general came to look for him under the leadership of the Ming army Yebushou.

"Report to Mr. Guozhong Cheng, the last general has already dug the last road, and there is no turning back for Jianlu!" The general said with a tired but excited expression.

Lu Xiangsheng's spirit is very good, it seems that such a simple rest condition has not affected him.After he finished listening, he nodded and praised: "Good job, the people in the villages along the way should try to evacuate as far away as possible, and don't let Jianlu catch it!"

"The last general has long been doing according to Lord Zhongcheng's order, and will never let Jianlu capture another commoner to build roads for them!" The North Korean general replied immediately.

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng nodded again and said, "Okay, you go to rest and wait for the official's notice."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiangsheng walked to the military map by himself and looked at it.This military map was also provided by the North Korean general and verified by Ye Bushou of Dongjiang.

Before Lu Xiangsheng's final decision, he did not lead the troops to attack Uiju, which had hoarded a large amount of food, as the North Koreans wanted.The reason why he did this was because he comprehended the sixteen-character mantra given to him by Emperor Chongzhen.

He has not yet been naive enough that the fighting power of the Dongjiang army can be raised to the level of fighting Jianlu head-on after just a few days of integration by him.In today's weak environment, it is absolutely impossible to fight hard with Jianlu, which is exactly what Jianlu hopes.What he has to do is to fight under the condition that he can win Jianlu, accumulate small victories into big victories, and train the army in battle.Therefore, he set his sights on Jianlu's grain transportation team to Yizhou.

Lu Xiangsheng asked the North Koreans to dig out several possible roads from Tieshan to Yizhou, and there was only one road left for Jianlu to transport grain.And after the investigation found that the Jianlu grain transportation team had set off, they chose a place and dug the road before and after Jianlu overnight.All that remains is to find a suitable opportunity to annihilate these food transport teams in one fell swoop.

The sky was bright, and the Ming army would not accept them at night. Liu Yuangen and ten of his comrades were lying in ambush by the side of the road.With them, there are more than 100 North Korean volunteers.These are actually composed of broken soldiers or civilians, and they don't have much combat effectiveness.

On the road in front of them, not only were there dug a hole to the east and a hole to the west, but there were even roadblocks on the road. Even if the horses passed by, they had to slow down and pass slowly.

They didn't wait too long when they heard the faint sound of horseshoes.The North Korean general in the lead couldn't help being a little excited when he heard that, he turned his head to look at Liu Yuangen, saw him nodding, retreated into his team, and started waving.

Soon, ten Jurchen Jianlu came over on horseback. When they saw the roadblocks, they became vigilant, and at the same time they screamed at the mountains and forests on both sides.

Sure enough, as they expected, there was a sound of gongs, and about fifty North Korean volunteer soldiers came out and attacked these Jian captives.

One of the Jianlu was hit by an arrow and turned over and fell off his horse, but the remaining Jianlu were not afraid at all, and instead became more fierce. After the leading Jianlu let out a roar, they even drew their weapons and charged at the North Korean volunteers, obviously looking down on them. The combat power of those North Korean volunteers.

At this moment, about [-] North Korean volunteers appeared on the road where Jianlu came, and attacked these Jianlu.But Jianlu still didn't panic, instead they gathered together and attacked forward.

Seeing that the road was blocked, Liu Yuangen shouted softly to the surrounding comrades: "Do it!"

After finishing speaking, he first patiently aimed at a Jian prisoner about 20 meters away, and shot an arrow.The other Ming soldiers also followed suit and shot arrows calmly.With the North Korean volunteer soldiers in front of them, they were not afraid of Jianlu's escape.

Jianlu is fierce and well-equipped, but under the interference and siege of the North Korean volunteers, it gave the Ming army a chance to attack calmly, especially the eleven Ming soldiers who were selected by Lu Xiangsheng from the entire army. Good at archery, specially used to snipe and kill the messenger sent by Jianlu to report back.

The battle ended without any suspense, and the goal was achieved. None of the Jianlu messengers slipped through the net.The Ming army did not take over at night and was not injured. Even the North Korean rebels were shot and killed five or six by those Jian captives, and only seven or eight were injured.

Liu Yuangen rummaged through the corpses of those Jianlu, but found no letters, they should have been sent by word of mouth.

Then it was time to divide the spoils. According to the agreement in advance, the war horses belonged to the Ming army, and the weapons and armor were divided equally between the Ming army and the Korean volunteers.

Liu Yuangen watched those North Korean volunteer soldiers drag away Jianlu's naked corpses, and he probably guessed what would happen to these corpses, but he didn't care, who let these Jianlu rob all the food.

At this moment, he was touching those war horses as if he were a lover.It is pitiful to say that there are not many war horses in such a dignified town, even after Mr. Zhongcheng came, there are only about a hundred horses in total.Now Lord Zhongcheng has ordered to capture the horses as much as possible.The credit for capturing a war horse is greater than the credit for beheading the head of a prisoner.

He was very happy, and when he turned his head and saw the leader of the North Korean volunteer soldiers approaching, he ordered them to clean up the scene and continue to ambush until dark.

At the col where she was hiding, Wei Mulan was beside Lu Xiangsheng, listening to the news that the Ming army would not take them in at night or the North Koreans came to report to Jianlu from time to time. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was still a little nervous in her heart. This was her For the first time in the battlefield.

Half a year ago, I was just a girl in Yihong Courtyard.But now on the battlefield, the gold and iron horses have changed so much that it is really unpredictable in the world.

Thinking to herself, Wei Mulan looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a calm face, and listened to his calm demeanor when he issued orders from time to time, she couldn't help but admire him secretly.

About Lu Xiangsheng's performance in the battle of Changli, she only heard about it, and did not see it with her own eyes.Sometimes, it was really hard for her to imagine that a dignified Jinshi master dared to go to the battlefield, and he was so powerful.Now that I see it with my own eyes, I really admire it.Thinking of this, she also slowly calmed down imperceptibly.

In the afternoon, when Lu Xiangsheng got a report saying that the grain transporters were already trying to build roads after they could not catch the Korean civilians, he ordered the Korean volunteers to start gathering, and the Ming army also began to prepare.

There were about 1000 Jianlu who transported grain, of which there were about 500 Jurchen Tartars.This level of quantity, if only relying on the North Korean volunteers, no matter how many there are, it will be difficult to eat it down. Only with the real combat power that has the courage to fight with Jianlu can it be possible to eat it, and this is also The reason why the Ming army was dispatched.

An hour later, at the selected battlefield location, the battle started.
