Borrow the day to change the day

At this moment, a soldier came in from outside the cabin and reported to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Hou, the first fort has been taken, there is no accident."

Although Zhong Jinwei seemed to be smiling, he was somewhat worried about what would happen to this special forces first time.Now that he heard the report, he let go of his heart and immediately nodded to express his understanding.

Seeing Zu Dashou and He Kegang's confusion turned into surprise, he said to them: "Don't worry about it, it's best if they can solve it, otherwise you can only fight it step by step. What do you think about this time?" What's wrong with the war?"

After hearing what Zhongxing Hou said, the two turned their thoughts back to the current battle.Zu Dashou thought for a while, and asked Zhong Jinwei: "Master Hou, after we wiped out the Jianlu reinforcements, what should we do next? It seems that there are many problems in this."

Zhong Jinwei nodded, even if Zu Dashou didn't ask, he was going to say it.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei also explained the follow-up arrangement to them, and finally said: "The new army will buy as much time as possible for you, but you must also understand that if the new army persists for a moment, there may be more casualties." .So, you have to move fast, as fast as you can, understand?"

Only then did Zu Dashou understand that the reason Zhongxing Hou threatened before was for this.He wondered if the new army would be able to withstand such a great pressure.After hesitating for a while, he still asked, "Master Hou, is it too risky?"

Zhong Jinwei smiled at him and said, "Why, don't you believe in the new army's field combat capabilities?"

When Zu Dashou heard it, he was a little embarrassed, and said repeatedly: "Where, where!"

"Actually, I don't want the new army to take risks, but if I don't do this, Haizhou will be impossible to hold once the new army withdraws. Therefore, even if I bite the bullet, I have to go to buy time for you." Zhong Jinwei carefully The stick tapped his left palm lightly, and said with emotion.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, the speed will definitely be accelerated in the end." Zu Dashou assured.

Of course, He Kegang also expressed his position: "The matter is of great importance, and there will never be any delay in the end."

Seeing that both of them had good attitudes, Zhong Jinwei nodded, then turned to Cao Wenzhao behind him and said, "You have to catch up in time, you can't do it without a car camp."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou!" Cao Wenzhao replied without hesitation.

Zhong Jinwei nodded again, turned around and walked back to his seat to sit down, and then said to the three people in front of him: "The recovery of Liaodong began with this battle. Your achievements will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, work hard!"

Zu Dashou and He Kegang clasped their fists, Cao Wenzhao respected the new military salute and said: "The last general will definitely work hard, and the Ming Dynasty will win!"

Near noon, the "Thunderbolt" brigade took down half of the fortresses along the way, and there were also some military reports about Jianlu in the Haizhou area.

After hearing this, Zu Dashou and He Kegang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The pressure on them in the first step of the war was greatly relieved.They then bid farewell to Marquis Zhongxing and went back to their respective fleets.

About half an hour later, the fleet covered the sea, as if the flood had found an outlet, and began to sail towards the Liaohe River.

The infantry of the Guanning Army was in the front, followed by the chariot battalion of the New Army, followed by the New Army, and finally the supplies of the Guanning Army. The mighty fleet covered the entire river.

If the fortress on the shore hadn't been settled in advance and rushed over, many ships would have to be lost.

The "Thunderbolt" brigade on the shore sent back news from time to time, so that the main generals such as Zhong Jinwei and Zu Dashou could grasp the military situation first-hand.

When the sky was twilight, the fleet was not far from Niuzhuang Station.Zhong Jinwei led the new army off the boat and walked away.

There are only about [-] Jianlu in Niuzhuang Station, guarding the ferry and taking care of supporting the fort by the river.

At this time, most of the Jianlu were resting in the town.The weather outside is so cold, there is nothing to do, who would go for a stroll outside.

The sentry on duty was on the tower, wasting time boredly, but suddenly noticed something moving.

He rubbed his eyes carefully, and then took a closer look. He was indeed right, there was smoke rising.The fort by the river is under attack!

So, he picked up the ox horn hanging on one side, and when he was about to blow the horn, he saw the river surface again from the corner of his eyes, and many fleets of the Ming army were slowly appearing.

He didn't have time to be surprised, and quickly blew the horn of the alarm.

The sound of "wuwuwu" resounded over the sky of Niuzhuang Station, which immediately caused a commotion in the town.

The garrisoned Jianlu was also a veteran who was used to fighting, and he quickly got out of the warm house and assembled the team.

The leader is the third-class lieutenant Shi Tingzhu, who was originally the Qianzong of Guangning, but surrendered to Nurhachi after the defeat.In order to build the saddle, he killed countless former comrades before he was promoted to the third-class lieutenant general.

As soon as he got under the tower, the sentry above shouted loudly: "Guan Ning's army came from the river by boat!"

When Shi Tingzhu heard this, he immediately became furious. Guan Ningjun, who was used to being a turtle, dared to take the initiative to attack. Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?

But he is not a brainless person, Guan Ning's army must have taken the initiative to attack.So, without waiting for the sentinel to report again, he quickly climbed up the tower to watch.

Under this look, although he looked down on Guan Ningjun, he was still a little surprised.With so many boats on the river, there must be three or four thousand soldiers.

I only have 800 people, and there are so many Ming troops, I am afraid that the visitors are not good.

Shi Tingzhu pondered for a while, then decided to send a messenger to Haizhou to report the military situation here, and asked Gushan Ezhenturg stationed in Haizhou to send troops to rescue.

He himself abandoned the pier, retracted all his soldiers and horses back to the town, and defended against the town's walls, waiting for reinforcements.

After all, there are too many Ming troops. If they stop the Ming army at the pier, the limited number of people may be exhausted, which is not worthwhile.

Not long after, a ship had already docked at the pier, and the soldiers on board swarmed down, formed a team on the pier, and then headed for the town.

But Zu Dashou was still on his own ship, holding a telescope, observing the road leading to Haizhou.He has a good view from this place, and can see a long way to Haizhou.

After a while, Zu Dashou put down the binoculars, smiled and ordered to the guards beside him: "The whole army goes ashore, first surround the town, then let the pier out, and let the car battalion behind land to land."

Zu Dashou was in a good mood, Jianlu didn't resist on the pier, so he would save a lot of money.

He could guess that Jianlu's wishful thinking was probably to rely on the city wall to hold on.But Jianlu couldn't guess that there was also a car camp in the fleet, and the car camp carried various artillery, including the siege weapon Hongyi cannon.

Zu Dashou seemed to see that when Che Ying appeared outside the town and aimed the muzzle of the Hongyi cannon at Jianlu's town wall, he might regret that he didn't escape in time!

The battle to conquer Haizhou went smoothly and easily, this was Zu Dashou's first impression.
