Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 116 Zu Dashou’s speculation
  The sun, as dim as ancient jade, has already hung on the western horizon.

Zu Dashou stood on the drum tower in the fort, looking into the distance with the help of a telescope in his hand. There, the Hou Jin army that had just been repelled was gathering at the foot of the mountain to rest.

The entire Songshan Fort was now littered with wreckage. From the outside of the fort to the inner watchtowers and battlements, they were all stained with blood and black ashes from the war.

"How many people were injured?" Zu Dashou put down the telescope and sighed, feeling a little heartbroken.

The family's wealth, which has been saved for many years, will probably be lost in this battle.

As the deputy commander of the defense, Hou Ji was also slightly injured at this moment. When he heard Zu Dashou's question, he lowered his head and replied: "Most of the brothers are fine, but there are not enough medicines in the fort, and the doctors are also beyond their capabilities. Many of them are injured. My brother couldn't get timely treatment, so he had to wait and get through it on his own."

"I have already sent a letter to Ning Yuancheng, asking Yuan Chonghuan to collect medicines and find a doctor. I believe there will be news back soon," Zu Dashou turned and walked down the Drum Tower, saying as he walked: "Although the attack has taken a break, but Brothers, we can’t take it lightly, the vanguard battalion and the scout battalion take turns inspecting and staying overnight!”

"My subordinate understands!"

In order to stop Hou Jin's repeated ferocious attacks, Zu Dashou almost had all the trees on the periphery of Songshan Fort cut down and moved to Songshan Fort, and a little further away, all the trees were also burned to prevent future attacks. Jin used local materials to attack the city.

"My lord, General Luo and General Qi are here to pay their respects!" The personal guard reported to Zu Dashou at the door of the Drum Tower.

When Zu Dashou raised his eyes, not far away, Luo Yiguan and Qi Bingzhong were there.

In just one day, after resisting three almost crazy life-threatening attacks by Hou Jin, the entire fortress needed to re-plan its defense plan.

Everyone has lost too much.

"According to the intelligence reports, Hou Jin has already built a camp on the spot, and the troops of Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan have also arrived. I'm afraid it won't be long before Hou Jin will launch another large-scale attack." Luo Yiguan had just entered the meeting hall. Then he spoke: "Master Ancestor, all the generals and soldiers in the city are tired. Tonight is the most dangerous time!"

Zu Dashou was sitting at the top. He originally wanted to drink a pot of herbal tea, but when he heard Luo Yiguan's question, he suddenly felt a little upset. He put down the teapot in his hand, raised his eyes and said, "Just now Hou Jin was under my Songshan Fort. , lost the corpses of nearly two thousand people, and retreated. If he dares to come again, Lord Gushan, who is wearing a red flag, may have lost his mind! If he loses a few more Eight Banners soldiers, the old slave will directly skin him. !”

Luo Guanyuan was not unhappy at being retorted by Zu Dashou. After all, it would be best if Hou Jin did not attack.

Qi Bingzhong also sat down on the side, leaned forward and said: "The arrow clusters in the city have been exhausted, and I have ordered the craftsmen in the city to start making them. Fortunately, Songshan Castle is surrounded by mature trees, and the materials are complete. It is just a lack of time! "

Zu Dashou pursed his lips tightly. Although he was deeply sad, the Liaodong veteran did not show the slightest trace of frustration or worry on his expression.

After looking at Qi Bingzhong and then at Luo Yiguan, Zu Dashou said for a long time: "The losses were heavy this time, but now Hou Jin does not dare to attack rashly. Let me inform you and let the cooks add some food tonight so that the brothers can make up for it." physical strength."

"If we come to attack." Qi Bingzhong was still worried.

"If Hou Jin dares to come, should I sit there and wait to die?" Zu Dashou finally got angry: "Our men are no worse than Hou Jin! If he dares to come, he will be killed! We are worried here. , Stopped and sighed, what's the use?"  Intrigued by Zu Dashou's words, Qi Bingzhong turned pale for a while, and finally said in a deep voice: "The general has nothing to fear, he is just worried about living up to the expectations of the commander-in-chief!"

Commander-in-Chief Wang Qi, everyone is waiting to see where this young Commander-in-Chief has gone and what he is doing.
  After listening to Qi Bingzhong's words, Zu Dashou and Luo Guanyi remained silent.

"Ahem," perhaps in order to relieve the dull atmosphere, Luo Yiguan said: "If Liu Qu is not dead, he may come back and say: I have long admired Wang Qi's martial arts talent, you can wait and see, this time it will be Capture the old slave. After the battle of Zhenwu Fort, Liu Qu admired the Commander-in-Chief so much that he even thought of holding a whip for him, but it was a pity that he died in Haizhou Guard, which is a pity. "

Must the old slave be captured?

When Zu Dashou heard Luo Yiguan's words, his eyes moved, and he suddenly had an almost absurd idea: Wang Qi didn't want to go around alone and attack the old slave by surprise, right?
  After looking at the other two people in the hall, they all had normal expressions.

call! ! !
  Zu Dashou breathed a sigh of relief. If what Wang Qi planned was really related to Lao Nu himself, it would really go straight to Jianzhou's throat. If Lao Nu died, Jian Nu would surely collapse!
  After having this idea, the more Zu Dashou thought about it, the more frightened he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that with Wang Qi's behavior, it was very possible at this time.

"You." Zu Dashou looked at his two colleagues and said, "If I say that our defense of Songshan Fort and attracting the main force of Jianzhou here is related to the entire situation in Liaodong and the future of the entire Ming Dynasty, you What do you think?"

Ok?
  Luo Yiguan and Qi Bingzhong both laughed after hearing what Zu Dashou was almost talking about in his sleep.

Is it about Liaodong, but is it about the country of the Ming Dynasty?

"Master Zu, if you have anything to say, just say it," Luo Yiguan always spoke quickly.

"You and I may not even dare to think about what the Commander-in-Chief wants to do, but if it is accomplished, great events in the world will be settled!" Zu Dashou looked at the two of them: "If you want to pacify Liaodong in three months, There is only one way: capture the old slave and destroy the slave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zu Dashou could almost hear the breathing of his two colleagues suddenly getting heavier, and even the heartbeat in the chest seemed to be hammering the breastplate, making a thumping sound.

If the old slave dies, then Ping Liao can do it in March!
  "I'm waiting here to lure the enemy! Commander-in-Chief, will you take a roundabout way?" Luo Yiguan had already reacted and swallowed a sip of saliva.

"When all the Jin army gathers here, there will be no one by the old slave's side!" Qi Bingzhong added: "Then everything will be decided in one battle!"

Zu Dashou touched his hands and said: "Therefore, there is no room for failure in Songshan Fort! Let alone one month, even three months, you have to die here! More than 10,000 people were crucified in Songshan Fort, which can contain the entire Houjin main force. Here! Then the space that Dingyuanhou can operate will be much larger."

"If this happens, I will live as a prince and die in the Imperial Ancestral Temple." Luo Guanyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and started to tremble when he spoke: "A high-ranking and powerful man will be blessed for future generations."

"Everything will be decided within a month," Zu Dashou looked at the two of them with a burning expression: "You two adults, you will not let the wealth that is at your fingertips go away, right?"

"Songshan Fort, we will defend it to the death!"
