I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 280: Send troops to Puhe (please subscribe)

"bring here."

Yang Lian looked coldly when he heard this. He immediately took the military report and opened it to read.As he flipped through the military newspaper, the surrounding atmosphere became breathless and solemn.

"Jianlu has sent troops to Inner Khalkha."

Yang Lian briefly reviewed the military report and murmured to himself.

"There is nothing to worry about in a fight between trapped beasts."

When the subordinates on the side heard this, they also had a look of disdain on their faces. Since the last victory at Hunhe, Jianlu's vitality was severely damaged and they were defeated. Now Liaodong is less afraid of Jianlu. They all feel that they can't hold on for long. .

"We cannot take it lightly, but since Jianlu has sent out troops, Shenyang's troops must have also set off."

Yang Lian calmed down and looked thoughtfully in the direction of Shenyang, thinking that He Shun and others should set off.

The news that Jianlu was going to send troops to Inner Khalkha had long been secretly spread by Jin Yiwei's spies. The Liaodong side had already made a conclusion on this matter, that is, Inner Khalkha must be protected no matter what, at least it cannot be allowed to be built. Defeated by Lu, they completely turned to Jianlu.

Therefore, more than ten days ago, Xiong Tingbi sent a letter to Yang Lian, saying that he had decided to inform the Inner Khalkha Department of Jianlu's movements, explaining that Jianlu was afraid of sending troops to Inner Khalkha, so that he would be wary.

Then He Shixian was sent to wait for the opportunity. When Jianlu sent troops, he immediately sent troops out of Puhe to further threaten Tieling, give him support, and wait for the opportunity.

So far, the imperial court has done everything it should do, but I don't know if Nekalka has listened.

"Get ready here, hurry up, we will leave for Gaizhou immediately tomorrow."

Knowing that the war was about to start, Yang Lian was a little anxious. He wanted to resolve the matter here as soon as possible and rush back to Liaoyang as soon as possible.
-
Outside the city of Shenyang, banners were flying, and a continuous stream of people and horses were filing out of the city. The front riders were clearing the way. The Chinese army was mainly composed of Zheying camp, chieftain soldiers, and He Shixian's servants.

"Be careful when testing Puhe Station this time. Although Jianlu's troops are weak and their army is heading to Inner Khalkha, their strength is still there and should not be underestimated.

You still have to fight steadily and don't get carried away. I will also bring people to support you from behind. Once the warning is given, I will lead the people to meet you. "

Outside the city of Shenyang, You Shigong looked at He Shixian, who was fully armed and with a calm expression in front of him, and warned him earnestly. He knew that He Shixian liked to fight, so he was most afraid of He Shixian's love for fighting. If the rebels took the opportunity to lure the enemy in, it would be bad. .

"Oh, Lao You, why are you acting like a mother-in-law? I understand all these things. Besides, I have fully understood the situation in Puhesuo. There is only one Niulu, so don't worry too much.

This time the prisoner was built in the light and I was waiting in the dark, so there was no need to worry too much. Instead, I wanted to see the surprised look on the old slave's face. "

Now that Liaodong has the support of the Jinyiwei, the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance work has gone to a higher level. Especially since the last time Jianlu's sneak attack on Shenyang failed, the Jinyiwei secretly followed the lead and uprooted Jianlu's spies in Shenyang, giving them this opportunity. Opportunity to attack Puhesuo.

"It's good that you know. After all, this matter is of great importance. There must be no mistakes."

"Don't worry, Puhe Station is less than sixty miles away from Shenyang. A quick horse will arrive in half a day. Just report the news then. That's it. We must send Ye Bushou to investigate near Fushun. If there is any movement, , come and report at any time.”

After He Shixian finished speaking, he flew onto his horse. Zhang Mingshi, Qin Bangping and others behind him also mounted their horses one after another, and rode away under the leadership of He Shixian.

You Shigong was not idle either. Seeing that He Shixian had set off, he returned to the city and immediately deployed to strengthen the security of the forts in Shenyang City. He also sent ten teams of rangers to the direction of Fushun to inquire about the situation so that He Shixian's men could be alerted. Provide information and support.

Puhe Station is located in the north of Shenyang and upstream of Puhe River. It used to be the gateway to the north of Shenyang.

This place and Yiluyi further north are the only places that Shenyang must pass through to Tieling. Last year, the Ming army was weak and this place was acquired by the Jianlu, which directly threatened the safety of Shenyang Guards and made Shenyang the forefront of the fight against the Jianlu.

This place and Fushun City in the northeast of Shenyang are like two nails stuck beside Shenyang City, making Shenyang City feel like a chokehold, and He Shixian and others have never dared to act rashly.

Therefore, after the Battle of Hunhe River, He Shixian repeatedly suggested that we should take advantage of the victory to pursue Fushun and Puhe. In this way, Shenyang would have something to rely on if we retreat, and we could threaten Sarhu City and Tielingwei if we advance.

This plan was certainly a good one, but it was vetoed by Xiong Tingbi. After all, not only was Jianlu's vitality severely damaged in that battle, but the Ming army also suffered a lot. They needed a long period of recuperation to take a breather. If the army is defeated, it will be troublesome. It is better to fight steadily and build a camp step by step.

Therefore, He Shixian was very concerned about this matter. Therefore, when he heard that Puhe was to be captured, he volunteered and sent three letters in a row requesting to be the commander. He also issued a military order to Xiong Tingbi, promising that he would attack steadily. Only then did Xiong Tingbi finally decide to agree to what he wanted. please.

There are sixteen side towers along the Pu River, all of which were set up along the banks of the Pu River. However, last year when the Jianlu plundered the Pu River, most of these side towers to guard against the Jianlu were abolished, and ten more side towers were rebuilt on the south bank of the Pu River to guard against the Ming army.

The southernmost elm balcony is named after the elm trees planted next to it during its construction.

In Yuyang Fort, three or four Jurchens were gathering around the fire. The Han Baoyi on the side was responsible for serving barbecue for them. The oil of the barbecue fell on the hot charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound, filling the whole house. The aroma of barbecued meat.

"Sir Zhang Jing, it's already baked, please use it slowly."

The Han man skillfully picked up the knife, cut off a good piece of meat from the barbecue, carefully placed it on the plate, took out a pinch of fine salt from the cloth pocket at his waist, sprinkled it on, and walked to the few people with his waist. Beside the Jurchens, they presented carefully grilled meat skewers to the Jurchens in the middle with flattering faces.

Zhang Jing was originally meant to be a general, but Nurhaci created the Eight Banners and placed two generation sons and four Zhang Jing under Niulu Erzhen.The three hundred men of one Niulu were divided into four Zhangjings, so the current Zhangjings were equivalent to the sentry officers of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Jing was not polite. He grabbed the barbecue, picked up a knife, cut a slice, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. The oil dripped down the corner of his bearded mouth.

"That's right, I didn't expect that a slave like you is not good at fighting, but you are really good at barbecue, hahaha."

When the Han man heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, nodded and bowed, cut off a few pieces of meat, and carefully handed them to the other Jurchen armored men.

"Minions are all small craftsmen. If the adults hadn't fought desperately to kill the Ming army, how could the young ones have been able to safely barbecue for the adults here."

These flattering words immediately made the Jurchens laugh happily.

"You are quite sensible. When my duty this month is over, I will take you to Tieling and give us a good roast."

Yutang is located at the junction of Jianlu and Ming Dynasty. It is a bitter cold and dangerous place. When this Han was assigned here, he was bullied by these Jurchens and lost his temper. Now when he heard Master Zhang Jing say this, he immediately Overjoyed, he kowtowed to Zhang Jing to thank him.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I will serve you well when the time comes."

"Haha, if it hadn't been for Yue Tuo Beile's westward expedition to Inner Khalkha, how could I be guarding here? Even my army wouldn't have the guts. Last time we just encountered artillery, and we were not sufficiently prepared. Huh! Otherwise, how could the Ming people take advantage of me?"

As soon as he talked about returning to Tieling, Zhang Jing immediately started to talk a lot. He was originally a man with a red flag, but Yue Tuo knew that he was raiding Inner Khalkha and must not fight on two fronts, so he sent a special guard to guard Puhe. So, keep an eye on the movements of the Ming army. "By the way, Suo Dai has been taking people out for an hour, and he should be back soon."

After hearing this, the Han man thought for a while and immediately replied:
"Yes, Lord Suodai used to go out for inspection for half an hour, but it's strange today. He hasn't come back for an hour. It's better to go out and have a look."

Zhang Jing nodded when he heard this and motioned to the Han Baoyi to go out and take a look and see where Suo Dai was.

But just as he signaled, he suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly. The Jurchens were shocked when they saw this. One Jurchen immediately lay down on the ground skillfully and listened with his ear to the ground. There was a rapid "dong dong dong" sound of horse hooves. into his ears.

"It's cavalry, a large group of cavalry!"

Everyone was experienced in many battles. They immediately reacted after hearing the words and wanted to draw their swords and bows to prepare for the battle. However, as soon as they stood up, they heard a "bang" coming from the direction of the door.

The door was opened with a bang, and a man covered in blood rushed in from the outside. As he walked, he shouted in Manchu:
"The Ming Army, it's the Ming Army, right behind!"

He used up the last of his strength to say this, and immediately fell heavily to the ground after saying this.

Everyone in Yutang felt even worse when they heard this. Suo Dai took ten people with him when he went out, and now he is the only one who came back covered in blood. It seems that the Ming army has arrived.

"Na Qi and Fu Cha went up to the tower to light a beacon to warn, and I and others blocked the Ming army behind them."

That Zhang Jing was a man who had experienced hundreds of battles. He knew that the most important thing at this moment was to warn Pu Hesuo, so he immediately called his two strong men to come up to the stage and light a bonfire as a warning.

Upon hearing this, Qi and Qi immediately picked up the torches and were about to walk to the platform, but they had not taken a few steps.

"whoosh" "whoosh" "whoosh"...

The two of them stopped moving for an instant, and their bodies immediately retreated and fell to the ground. Zhang Jing took a closer look and saw that there were two or three arrows stuck in both of their bodies. Three of the five people in Yuyang Fort had been lost.

But he had no time to be surprised now, because the next wave of arrows had already arrived. When he saw it, he quickly picked up his shield to avoid it, and a "ding-ding-ding" sound sounded in front of him.

"Sir, please help me, please help me!"

When Zhang Jing looked up, he saw that the Han man just now had been hit by four or five arrows and fell to the ground groaning in pain. It must have been caused by his failure to dodge just now, but how could Zhang Jing care about a person like him now? He immediately calmed down and looked at him. He looked outside the door to see if he could find an opportunity to go to the stage, so that he could give Pu He a warning even if he couldn't escape.

But how could the Ming army give him a chance? They knew the number of people in each fort very well, and knew that there should not be many people in the fort, so two teams of elite soldiers and servants rushed in immediately.

"Kill or kill!"

Hearing the shouts of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Jing knew that he was going to be in trouble this time, but he didn't want to give up yet, so he immediately shouted to the two people around him in Manchu:

"Cover me, I'll rush to the platform."

After saying that, he immediately rushed towards the stairs of the platform. When the other two saw this, they also attacked the Ming army. However, the Ming Dynasty soldiers did not give him a chance. Seeing that they were trapped and still fighting, they directly raised their swords and killed them.

That Zhang Jing didn't care about anything at this time, he just wanted to get on the platform. His position was relatively close to the stairs, and he arrived at the stairs in five or six steps. When he saw it, he stepped on it and rushed up.

"Oh!"

Three bloody holes appeared from Zhang Jing's back, and the huge impact from behind pushed him forward. He staggered forward a few steps and then fell, hanging on the stairs.He felt severe pain in his back, but he still didn't want to give up and wanted to struggle to stand up and continue climbing to the platform.

Just when he stood up, he was hit on the head with a huge force, which made him dizzy. Then he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He had no strength all over his body. It became more and more difficult to breathe, and his consciousness became more and more blurred. He could only I vaguely heard some sounds coming from behind me.

"All dead!"

"That's good. Send someone to send a message to the Commander-in-Chief, saying that Yutang Terrace has been captured."

Two miles away from Yutang Terrace, Shenyang Commander-in-Chief He Shixian was looking into the distance calmly. Zhang Mingshi, Qin Bangping and others stood behind him, watching several fast horses approaching from a distance.

"Report, report to the Commander-in-Chief. Lord He Xiong has come to report that all ten forts on the south bank of the Pu River have been captured, but there is too much movement at Qinghe Platform and beacons have been lit. Pu He is afraid that he already knows about it."

"Haha, it's okay. Just capture it. Have you captured anyone? Do you have a clear understanding of the situation in Puhe Station?"

"According to the surrendered Han people, there are two Niulus on the Puhe Suo side, with about 600 people. He Xiong has already led his people to assemble on the south bank of the Puhe River and is waiting for the commander-in-chief to arrive."

"Haha, He Xiong is indeed brave. He is worthy of being the nephew of Lord Commander-in-Chief. He has the demeanor of Lord Commander-in-Chief."

Zhang Mingshi behind him saw He Xiong winning the first battle and immediately complimented He Shixian.

As the saying goes, flattery can never be worn. Hearing Zhang Mingshi's words, He Shixian also smiled. He was indeed very satisfied with He Xiong.

He Xiong had made great contributions in the last bloody battle at Hunhe River. He Shixian had been promoted to guerrilla duty after He Shixian's recommendation. He was the deputy general of He Shixian's Dingying camp. He was an expert at leading the charge.

"Hahaha, no matter how powerful it is, it is not as powerful as Mr. Zhang's Krupp cannon from Zhejiang Camp. This time I begged Governor Xiong for a long time before he asked him to transfer Zhejiang Camp. I hope that when we attack Puhesuo later, Brother, please show your skills well and let me open my eyes and see with my own eyes the power of this Krupa gun."

Since the last victory at Hunhe, the Krupp cannon has shown its prowess. Now everyone in Liaodong is very jealous of the Krupp cannon, and they have written letters to get some of the Krupp cannon allocated by the court.

Fortunately, Xiong Tingbi knew that this thing should be used exclusively by dedicated personnel, plus the emperor's personal instructions.

Therefore, except for some Krupp gun armor models used in the defense of Shenyang, other Krupp gun B and C models were all managed by the Zhejiang Battalion. At the same time, special funds and personnel were allocated to the Zhejiang Battalion to train artillery talents.

Now after three months of simple training, the number of Zhejiang battalions has expanded to more than [-], and the number of Krupp guns has reached as many as [-].

This time, in order to reinforce He Shixian, a full 25 were brought out, just to give Jianlu another good drink!
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, we will definitely build a good-looking army when the time comes."
