I'm a big dick

Chapter 235 Luda's defense, hopeful and sighing

Such a ferocious weapon, even Halsa's heavy armor is shaped like a piece of paper, it is really - a warrior who has been fighting for a long time, but he died so miserably without even a chance to fight.

Daishan waved his hand weakly, and looked away, really not wanting to take another look.

The sound of horseshoes sounded behind him, and Daishan refused to even turn his head, and said in a deep voice: "Stop attacking, retreat and set up camp."

After a little silence, Yue Tuo's voice sounded, "Yes, I will obey the general's order."

Once again Jiannu's attack was repelled, Zhang Pan, Kong Youde, Zhu Changguo and other generals took the time to adjust their deployment, withdrew some troops to rest and replaced them with new fresh troops.

Behind this simple line of defense, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are stepping up construction. Wide trenches, dense wooden piles, and a stronger line of defense have taken shape.

And every [-] meters, there is a huge mound of soil, five or six meters high, and after it is compacted, artillery will be erected to bombard the enemy from a height.

Zhang Zhuzi limped on one foot, but walked not slowly.After inspecting it, he saw a familiar figure.

After hesitating for a while, he jumped down the ditch, snatched the shovel from Yingzi, and said, "Go and have a bowl of hot porridge before coming back."

Yingzi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, smiled and was not polite, turned around and climbed up, and walked towards the steaming cauldron not far away.

The white rice in the cauldron was rolled, mixed with fish meat and dried vegetables, emitting bursts of tempting aroma.

"Come on, girl." An old man smiled, picked up a big spoon, and filled a thick bowl for Yingzi.

Yingzi thanked him, holding the bowl in both hands, and went to sit on the ditch beside him.With a hot feeling in her hands and a mixed aroma in her nose, she couldn't help but look up again.

As long as the slaves are repelled, this will be their new home, and they will be given land for farming!
The people on the island knew the news, and their longing for land made many Liao people who were already digging in the soil very excited.

Compared with the hope in the future, the food and rice in front of me, as well as the few liters of rice, don't seem to be too important.

Yingzi didn't know whether the island was better or the land.

A girl's family, the most concerned about is safety.Slowly eating the porridge, the girl became entangled in wild thoughts again.

A strong girl came over with a smile, said hello, and sat next to Yingzi.Her name is A Tao, and Yingzi is the best playmate.

"It's been like thunder for a long time, and it sounds a little frightening!" He said so, but there was not much frightened expression on A Tao's face, and he drank the porridge happily.

It is true that they are not very afraid now, because the strength of the Ming army is very strong.

In addition to the original Dongjiang Two Associations and Dengzhen First Association, the Liaozhen officers and soldiers led by He Kegang who landed and harassed did not confront the counterattacking Jiannu head-on, but also floated to help.

There are more than 2 officers and soldiers, which are comparable to the Jiannu troops, but they have positions to rely on and sharp firearms in their hands.They took turns defending on the ten-mile-long defense line, and dealt a heavy blow to the Jiannu who came to attack.

At the same time, the military and civilians stepped up the construction of the second and third lines of defense to form a defense in depth.

Yingzi giggled and joked, "Are you so timid? Look at your appetite!"

A Tao took the bowl and said solemnly: "Look, I'll eat two more bowls to calm the shock!" After finishing speaking, even she couldn't help laughing.

Yingzi smiled for a while, and asked, "Is the house settled? Do you want to move here?"

A Tao nodded, and said: "Didn't the official say that ten mu of land would be given away? My father said that there is land to grow, so he feels at ease."

Yingzi thought for a while and said, "But the island should be safer, right? Building slaves can make people calm down. They come to attack from time to time, and they can't even sleep well."

A Tao lowered her eyes and said slowly: "It's not as serious as you think. There are so many officers and soldiers, it should be able to stop it."

Seeing that A Tao was not very sure, Yingzi stopped talking about it, and said with a smile: "I heard that the officials are going to shoot the people with guns, that kind of powerful muskets. When Jiannu comes, they will shoot them with muskets."

A Tao pursed her lips and laughed, and said, "Brother Zhang told you? We don't know about this."

Yingzi pretended not to understand, got up and shook the empty bowl, and said, "The porridge is too thick, let's have a thinner bowl to quench my thirst."

"Wait for me for a while!" A Tao hurriedly ate the leftover porridge into her mouth, yelled vaguely, and quickly caught up with her good sister.

.....................

The waves surged gently, wave after wave flooded the beach, and then receded quietly.

The boat sailed unhurriedly into the distance, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared from the sight of Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai.

"Cowardless rats." Mang Gurtai cursed unwillingly and contemptuously, with white mist spraying out of his mouth.

Mao Wenlong led the Zhongxie to harass and take thousands of Liao people away by boat, leaving the Jiannu who came to fight in vain.

Not to mention that the Chinese Association has just been established, even if it is a veteran regiment, Captain Mao did not have the idea of ​​being tough with Jiannu.

The main battlefield is Lushun, which is Jinzhou; the secondary battlefield is the rear area of ​​Houjin, which is Mao Chenglu's contingent.Both he and Chen Jisheng just supported and restrained them, and then took the Chinese Association out for a walk, gaining experience.

But Jiannu didn't know the truth of it, so he sent two banners to Mao Wenlong's handsome flag.

Huang Taiji was not as angry as Mang Gurtai, he frowned slightly, thinking about the real intention of the Ming army to launch everywhere.

Is it expected that Daikin will launch an attack in winter and preemptively strike?Use this to disrupt our army's deployment, consume our army's supplies, weaken or stop our army's winter offensive?
Or is it pure harassment without much strategic purpose?

Huang Taiji can't be sure, although from the current point of view, his own losses are not great.But it was indeed mobilized, and the food and supplies were also consumed, which would also have an impact on the winter offensive.

"Old Ba, what are you thinking?" Mang Gurtai took a look at Huang Taiji and asked, "Is it because Mao Wenlong was not caught?"

Huang Taiji smiled, shook his head and said, "Mao Wenlong is extremely cunning, it's normal if he can't be caught. I'm thinking, what exactly is the Ming army trying to do?"

Mang Gurtai blinked his big eyes, and said, "Run away after grabbing one, just toss and burn, what other purpose can there be?"

Huang Taiji pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It's this kind of poverty that is hard to deal with. If things go on like this, it will be enough to cause headaches."

Mang Gurtai scratched his face, nodded his head and agreed, "I'm not afraid of fighting, but I'm afraid of not being able to fight. Mao Wenlong is a fly and a mosquito, and its buzzing is annoying."

Huang Taiji laughed and said, "Third Brother, send someone to report to Father Khan urgently, let's wait for the order!"

The two reined in their horses and returned, Huang Taiji didn't show it on his face, but he was still thinking in his heart, guessing the real purpose of the Ming army.
