please make me king

Chapter 1664 Gathering
"Don't fight, don't fight, can't fight, can't fight!" It is said that after three or five rounds of confrontation between the rebel army and Hou Jin, three people were killed and wounded in total. The killing efficiency is extremely touching. Zhang San Bai had to give the order to stop shooting.

The rebel army relied heavily on firearms to fight.

If Zhang Sanbai consumes these precious gunpowder in vain, I am afraid that both Duoduo and Daishan will wake up laughing from their dreams.

"Hey, stop it!" Just as Zhang Sanbai gave the order, Duoduo, Daishan and others over there suddenly cheered.

They didn't understand Zhang Sanbai's thoughts, but they regarded it as a major victory for Hou Jin's artillery battle.

"Reward, each gunner will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver." Duoduo couldn't help but hastily ordered, "Let the gunners fight desperately, and those who kill the 'thief chieftain' will be raised as the top three banners!"

Following Duoduo's edict, the post-gold gunners worked harder, and the sound of cannons continued for a while.

"General, what should we do?" Zu Dashou frowned, and volunteered, "How about I lead the cavalry to attack him, and I promise to destroy the Hongyi cannon!"

"What's it worth? It's so easy for us to have a leisure time, why don't we take a rest?" Zhang Sanbai said with a cold face.

"Ah? Rest?" Zu Dashou was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

"That's right, since the other party wants to beat us both, why should we be beaten here?" Zhang Sanbai said naturally.

"Huh? That's true!" Zu Dashou was taken aback when he heard the words, although he felt that something was wrong, he still nodded in agreement.

The two of them had made up their minds, and they didn't talk about their rest, leaving only the Houjin gunners to keep bombarding there.

But at this moment, from Guangning to Juliu River, from Phoenix City to Shengjing, there are two long dragons winding their way.

Starting from Guangning is Yang Guozhu's department, under his command are two generals, Cable Guoan and Zhang Dashou.

"General, the Juliu River is not far ahead!" Zhang Dashou returned to report after beating his horse, "Our scouts have arrived, and no trace of the enemy has been found!"

"Okay!" Yang Guozhu nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "Have you connected with General Lu? If the situation is urgent, you can join forces with General Lu without waiting for me and Xian Guoan!"

"I'm going to report to the general!" Zhang Dashou hurriedly said, "I've already joined General Lu in succession. General Lu wants us to occupy Shalingdun as soon as possible!"

"Shalingdun?" Yang Guozhu was at a loss when he heard the words, "Where is this?"

"Passing the Juliu River to the east, there are Changning, Jingbian Second Fort, and then Shalingdun." Zhang Dashou heard the words and explained, "This Shalingdun is located on the Shaling, on the south bank of the Puhe River, forty miles away from Shenyang. , Zhenghe and Pinlubao are the horns of each other."

It turned out that Zhang Dashou had just hooked up with Lu Xiangsheng, and he didn't know that Zhang Sanbaibu was already stationed in Baitapu, so he only talked about Pinglubao and nothing else.

"So it's here!" Yang Guozhu suddenly realized when he heard this.

It turned out that Shaling Pier was originally one of the [-] piers west of Shenyang, so Yang Guozhu didn't think of it for a while.

However, due to the large area of ​​the pier and the presence of post stations, it is different from the general pier and abutment, so it can basically be classified as a fortress.

"In this way, you go to Shalingdun as soon as possible, and the general will arrive later." Yang Guozhu pondered for a while when he heard the words, and couldn't help but directly ordered, "On the line, Guoan will bring the 'General Qingtian' and other artillery to hold the line!"

From Juliuhe to Shalingdun for a hundred miles, cavalry can arrive in a day, and infantry can arrive in the same night if they travel twice as well.

"Yes, the last general takes the order!" Zhang Dashhou and Xian Guoan couldn't help but shouted after hearing the words.

And just when Yang Guozhu and others were about to arrive at Juliu River, Li Dingguo, Shen Shikui and North Korean general Jin Yu who set off from Phoenix City also arrived in Liaoyang City.

"Oh, brother, you are here!" Huang Degong hurriedly opened the east gate of Liaoyang, and greeted him personally.

"How's the battle going?" Li Dingguo looked at the quiet city of Tokyo across the river and couldn't help asking.

"Don't look, the Tartars in the city have already run away!" Huang Degong quickly explained, "A few days ago, Zhang Shuai led the main force to go north, threatening Shengjing and Shenyang, but the Tartars couldn't sit still, so they abandoned Tokyo and went back."

"How many troops does this Tartar have?" Before Huang Degong finished speaking, Li Dingguo asked quickly.

"About 4 to [-] troops!" Huang Degong frowned, and explained, "Originally, the puppet king Daishan had more than [-] soldiers and horses, but Zhang Shuai broke through in the east of Liaoyang City and almost wiped out his entire army."

"And the [-] army under the command of Tatar Chief Duduo also suffered losses before, so I'm afraid the number is less than [-] now."

"What about that handsome Zhang?" Li Dingguo asked again.

"This number!" Huang Degong hesitated for a moment, and stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty thousand?" Li Dingguo, Shen Shikui and Jin Yu couldn't help being shocked.

"What are you afraid of? General Lu has tens of thousands of people under his command!" Huang Degong knew more information than them, so he couldn't help explaining quickly.

"Oh. Thirty thousand versus forty thousand is not outrageous!" Li Dingguo let out a sigh of relief, and then smiled, "In that case, we won't delay entering the city, and we will disturb the general when we go north and defeat the Tartars." .”

"I really envy you. If the location of Liaoyang is not too important, I would like to go north with you guys to make such a great contribution!" Huang Degong looked at the three people enviously, with a sour taste in his mouth.

However, he also knows that "the trapped beast is still fighting", and the war will become more cruel at this time.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Li Dingguo couldn't help but complain bitterly when he heard the words, "Not to mention that General Huang made a huge contribution to the surprise attack on Liaoyang City earlier."

"Let's just talk about us. One is traveling across the ocean and training soldiers; the other is fighting for the rest of his life and going to the battlefield again without taking a breath."

"We are old and young, how can we compare with General Huang's beauty?"

"Uh..." Li Dingguo's words made Huang Degong speechless.

It turns out that Shen Shikui and Jin Yu are over half a hundred years old and have gray hair, while Li Dingguo is only fifteen or sixteen years old, still a half-grown child.

In this way, isn't it "old, young, young"?
The two of them were polite, and then Li Dingguo supplied some dry food and drinking water from Liaoyang City, deposited some of the supplies, and then sent his troops northward, heading towards Baitapu.

Now it took another day for Li Dingguo and his team to arrive at the tiger skin station.

As soon as the rebel army arrived at the Tiger Skin Station, the Houjin scouts noticed the movement and hurried to Baitapu to report.

When the scouts broke into Houjin's camp, they heard a commotion in the camp, and many people were watching something.

"What's the matter?" The man hurriedly found a place to fasten his horse, and asked a besieging soldier.

"The Han people, 'people in Cao Ying, heart in Han', yesterday bombarded the 'Shun Bandits' with red cannons for a day, and hit more than a thousand pieces of iron, but to no avail, His Majesty saw through it, and he is executing his sentence there. "The soldier couldn't help gloating.

It turned out that those gunners received the reward for no reason yesterday, which made other real Tartars dissatisfied.

It just so happened that these people made Duduo unhappy, so why can't they help but add insult to injury?

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty is almost done!" The generation of Shanjian Duoduo whipped him several times, let out a bad breath, and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"If you beat these dog slaves to death, no one will be able to beat them accurately!"

It turns out that these Han gunners are not like those people said, "People are in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han".Instead, they really worked hard for the Qing Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the power of this Hongyi cannon is no small matter, but just thinking about blowing down a white pagoda in a short while based on this is tantamount to idiotic dreams. This is why Zhang Sanbai and Zu Dashou did not expect that Hou Jin's main target was the White Pagoda root cause.

In fact, Hou Jin hit the White Pagoda hundreds of times yesterday, causing serious damage to the walls, windows, etc., but the columns and beams were intact, so it is naturally impossible to collapse.

Na Duoduo didn't know the key point, so he had to blindly vent his anger on others.

"Okay, since Prince Lilie pleaded for mercy, I'll spare you this. If the tower doesn't collapse today, I want you to look good!" Duoduo cursed angrily, and then stopped.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!" Just as Duoduo put down his whip, a soldier timidly walked over and reported in a low voice.

"Say!"

"'Shun Thief' has a reinforcement army, about ten thousand people, appearing in Tiger Skin Station."

"What?" Duduo and Daishan were shocked when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but look at each other, "Where did he get these 1 horses?"

"Phoenix City, it's the soldiers and horses attacking Phoenix City!" Or Daishan reacted quickly, couldn't help but reminded in a flash of inspiration.

"Report, urgent report from Shengjing!" And at this moment, another messenger broke in suddenly.

"Say!" Doduo's face was ugly, which only frightened the soldiers around him.

"That. That. According to the report from the scouts, Shalingdun is occupied by 'Shun Bandits', and the number of people is unknown."

"Bastard, I'm going to whip you useless dog slaves to death!" Doduo couldn't bear it anymore, reached out and grabbed the whip that had just been put down, and couldn't help whipping indiscriminately.

Only the surrounding soldiers cried and howled like ghosts and wolves, and fled in all directions.
