Chapter 1042
At the head of Zhenjiang Fort, the guard led a group of people to watch the grain escort team disappear into the distance. They waited for a long time, unwilling to leave.After a long time, I didn't know who it was, and sighed: "It's a pity that there is so much food, there is not a single bag left!"

Someone heard it and couldn't help but sighed: "Look at how hungry we are! If we had known earlier, we should have secretly hidden a few bags of food last night!"

"They are closely guarded, can you steal food?"

"Is there anything impossible, after all, this is our territory..."

Hearing this, the guard of Zhenjiang Fort couldn't listen anymore, and reprimanded him: "Okay, take care of yourself, those grains are used by the emperor to deal with the Ming army at Anshan Post Fort at critical moments, who wants to If you dare to think about these grains, be careful to move your head!"

After hearing him speak, his subordinates did not dare to speak anymore, but the sigh remained the same.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort did not stop them from sighing, after all, he understood the feelings of these subordinates.I can't get enough to eat every day, and it's fine if I don't see food.Last night, with so much food in front of us, it was impossible not to think about it.

Thinking of this, he also sighed, touched his flat stomach without any trace and said: "I hope that with these grains, my Qing Dynasty can survive until after the autumn harvest. Now there is no Horqin tribe behind the scenes. The grain will definitely be received in the warehouse. And North Korea, I heard that His Royal Highness is also planting a large amount of grain. By next year, we will all have enough to eat. At that time, it is time to settle the accounts with the Ming Dynasty! "

Hearing this, his subordinates, who were a bit sluggish at first, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and the whole person suddenly became energetic. Some of them even asked the guard of Zhenjiang Fort: "When the time comes, the food will really be edible. gone?"

"It can be eaten for sure!" The guard of Zhenjiang Fort naturally answered in the affirmative, which made one of his subordinates couldn't help saying: "When there is food, I must store enough food at home. It's a feeling of starvation, I don't want to have it again!"

Hearing this, many people showed the expression of you speaking my heart.After they looked forward to the bright future on the top of the city, they finally felt that it was meaningless to keep saying this, and some of them had their stomachs growling.So, they were going to go down to the top of the city, where they should lie down and get something to eat.

But at this moment, someone suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at the distance of the official road and said, "Listen, there seems to be some sound?"

"Can there be any sound?" Someone heard this and said disapprovingly, "People have gone far away, don't you think that those grain bags have grown their own feet and came back to our Zhenjiang Fort, right?"

Upon hearing this, these people burst into laughter, and then prepared to go down to the city.But after such a while, a faint movement came, and many people felt it.

"What's that sound?" Someone asked instinctively with doubts.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort walked quickly to the outer wall, looked at the winding official road, listened carefully, and suddenly his expression changed: "It seems... there seems to be a fight?"

Not sure, but with his many years of experience in the battlefield, he thought of this immediately.

The others heard this, and before they could distinguish carefully, they saw a fast horse galloping towards Zhenjiang Fort at the end of the official road.Everyone looked carefully and recognized that it was the scout horse of the grain protection team.Immediately, the people on the top of the wall felt a little bit in their hearts, feeling a little bad.

Sure enough, the scout horse hadn't come close yet. After seeing someone on the top of the city, he stood up from his horse, waved his hand, and shouted anxiously: "There is an ambush by the Ming army, hurry up and reinforce! There is an ambush by the Ming army, Quickly reinforce..."

At first I couldn't hear or see clearly.But soon, these people on the top of the wall saw the anxious expression of Tan Ma clearly, and heard his shouting.Immediately, everyone in the city panicked.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort turned around hastily, and at the same time ordered loudly: "Hurry up, gather troops and horses, and reinforce immediately."

His subordinates also followed him to the city, and after hearing this, they all agreed.But then, there was a disharmonious questioning voice immediately: "My lord, everyone is hungry, how can we fight?"

As soon as these words were uttered, all the people who hurried away immediately felt as if their footsteps had taken root, and they could no longer move.

At this time, Tanma had already rushed into the city, shouted loudly, and called back the god of the guard of Zhenjiang Fort, and he immediately ordered: "Why are you still standing there, release the reserve grain immediately, and find all edible things , let everyone pack some things, if the troops are late, the emperor will definitely punish him!"

Having said that, he paused, and added: "So much food, the Ming army can no longer take it away!"

Thinking of so much food, everyone quickened their pace and went to prepare.

In this short period of time, some galloping horses came galloping, and also shouted the Ming army's ambush, the grain team was in danger, and hurry up to rescue, etc., then they did not enter Zhenjiang Fort, and continued to go along the official road.

When the guard of Zhenjiang Fort saw it, he knew that he was going to Sinuiju across the Yalu River to rescue soldiers.Thinking about it this way, his confidence increased a bit. If it continues like this, the Qing army will definitely increase. Even if the Ming army can defeat the army that protects food, they will definitely not be able to escape.The only worry now is that the Ming army will burn the food!

Before the soldiers and horses of Zhenjiang Fort had time to set off, they saw a large group of cavalry galloping up the official road.When the guard of Zhenjiang Fort saw it, he became anxious immediately.Needless to say, those cavalry troops must belong to the Qing Dynasty.If it belonged to the Ming army, it would be impossible to come to Zhenjiang Fort after losing the battle.That is to say, the food protection team lost?

Thinking about it this way, he felt that it seemed a little impossible.You must know that the grain guard team, but Azigbeile led 2000 troops, and Duke Yanguli led [-] troops, including [-] Manchurian warriors. How could they be defeated so quickly?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly realized that among the cavalry who fled back was Lord Azigbeile!If he escaped back, he was definitely defeated!For the first time, the guard of Zhenjiang Fort thought, it's over, so much food, it's all over!

Azig fled back to Zhenjiang Fort in one breath. He didn't know when his helmet fell off. He got off his horse and gasped for breath. At the same time, he shouted to the guard of Zhenjiang Fort who hurried to him: "Hurry up, gather all your soldiers and horses immediately." Get up, and send out scouts to investigate the movement of the Ming army, collect the routs, and take back the food!"

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort listened, and although he immediately agreed, he knew in his heart that since so much food fell into the hands of the Ming army, he might not be able to get it back.

But no matter what, a dead horse should be treated as a living horse doctor, so he immediately sent scouts to search along the official road.

After drinking an unknown amount of water in one breath, Azig, who was still in shock, finally calmed down a bit.At this moment, he just remembered, and asked his personal guard, "Where's Yang Guli? What about others?"

The guards who had fled back with him were only concerned with protecting Azig and fleeing for his life, but they also cared about observing the battlefield and looking for traces of Yang Guli.Therefore, when Azig asked, no one could answer.

In the end, an older guard replied: "Grandpa Yangguli is mature and prudent, so he should be fine. Maybe he withdrew to Tangzhanbao. He will definitely send troops to Tangzhanbao , and then quickly pass the horse back, and when the time comes to gather more troops, our two soldiers and horses will chase after the Ming army, and we will definitely be able to get back the food!"

Hearing this, Azig finally looked better, and he nodded in agreement with this statement.Suddenly, he remembered something, and quickly asked, "Have you sent a rescue messenger to Sinuiju?"

"Lord Baylor, it was sent before." His personal guard replied immediately.

Azige thought of Doduo's thousand soldiers and horses, and he needed them urgently at this time. Therefore, after hearing this, he felt that it was not safe, so he immediately ordered: "Quickly, send another messenger, and send the messenger immediately." When going to Sinuiju, be sure to let Duoduo come to help. If he is no longer in Sinuiju, keep chasing him, catch him and let him come back to help."

The personal guard originally thought that he had already sent, so there was no need to send again, but thinking about Azig's mood at this time, he didn't dare to say this, so he immediately sent another messenger to set off according to Azige's intention.

Time passed slowly, but Azig felt like sitting on pins and needles, unable to sit still at all.The number of rout soldiers who fled back was not as many as expected.That is to say, I am afraid that most of the troops of the food protection team have been poisoned by the Ming army.Otherwise, you don't need to tell me, you will definitely escape to the nearest Zhenjiang Fort.

If you can't collect enough rout soldiers, how can you rely on these township soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort to be the opponent of the Ming army?Thinking of this, Azig immediately recalled the scene where the Ming army suddenly appeared in his mind.The cavalry of the Ming army actually had a division of labor, anticipating the possible reaction from their own side, and it was just a round of charge, so they rushed this side into two sections!

Thinking of this, Azig didn't know what happened, and felt a kind of fear.At this time, he finally realized why the previous food protection team was robbed by the Ming army?But then he couldn't understand why the Ming army was so well prepared that even the infantry came back?

When he was thinking wildly, suddenly someone screamed from the top of the city. Hearing the sound, Azig looked up quickly, but saw the cavalry of the Ming army approaching this way in the distance of the official road.

what's the situation?Could it be that the Ming army robbed the food and came to attack Zhenjiang Fort?Thinking of this, Azig was frightened, and he immediately ordered: "Quick, quick, all go to the top of the city to defend!"

At this time, most of the troops in Zhenjiang Fort were busy preparing for battle, and when they heard this, they all ran to the top of the city.

In just a short while, the cavalry of the Ming army was already approaching.I saw some of the cavalry pawns with excellent equestrian skills roaring close to the Zhenjiang Fort, which was in full swing, smiling and mocking, provoking the Manchu soldiers on the top of the city.Even Azig's handsome flag was picked up by them, and it was humiliated in front of Azig, the leader of the city.

This made Azig's face turn red, but he didn't dare to order to go out to fight at all. He just held his hands on the city wall and trembled slightly.At this moment, he had once again experienced the feeling when the Ming army guarding the city was humiliated by the Jian outside the city.

He tried his best not to look at those provocative cavalry soldiers, but when he looked up, behind the cavalry, he could already see the Ming army infantry escorting a load of grain carts coming this way.

At this time, he was puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "What are these Ming soldiers going to do, and where are they going with the food?"

If you go this way, you will go to North Korea. He doesn't understand why the Ming army didn't withdraw to the south, but went to North Korea instead?
Hearing this, one of his personal guards suddenly realized something and shouted: "Master, it's not good, the Ming army has sailors, they must want to go by sea."

As soon as he said that, Azig immediately remembered.So, he was really panicked.

If the Ming army returned by land, they would definitely not be able to go fast with so much food.After the reinforcements are assembled here, they will be chased all the way, and they will definitely be able to recover from such a long distance.But if the Ming army walked from the sea, Zhenjiang Fort used to be the Yalu River. Once the Ming army was allowed to board the boat, the Qing Dynasty could only stare blankly!
Thinking of Huang Taiji's face after losing the life-saving food, Azige couldn't stand anymore. He immediately ordered: "Hurry up, gather people and go out of the city to fight. No matter what, we must block the Ming army here!"

Zhenjiang Fort was only on the edge of the official road, and the Ming army did not need to take down Zhenjiang Fort as long as they continued eastward along the official road.It is also for this reason that Azig has this order.Otherwise, he couldn't bear to just watch the grain cart go by in front of his eyes.The same is true for the guard of Zhenjiang Fort, and he can't bear it either.As a result, the city immediately became busy again. Even though they had just been defeated by the Ming army, their morale was not high, but thinking that the food was robbed by the Ming army in front of their eyes, this was something they would never allow, so they all summoned up their courage to prepare. It's time to fight.

Seeing the movement on the top of the city, Lu Xiangsheng didn't care at all, he just nodded to the new army general Cao Bianjiao.Then, I saw teams of pawns driving up, blocked within a stone's throw of the gate of Zhenjiang Fort, standing in rows, waiting for the enemy to leave the city.As for the grain carts, they could go as they wanted. Except for the prisoners of the Eight Banners of the Han Army who were a little flustered and at a loss, the others didn't take the Manchu and Qing soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort seriously at all.

If this kind of thing were changed to a few years ago, it would be unimaginable, but now, they think it should be so!

As soon as the gate of Zhenjiang Fort was opened, the Manchu and Qing cavalry rushed out first, and rushed towards the infantry phalanx assembled by the Ming army, trying to lure the Ming army to fire as before.Because they saw that these Ming soldiers were holding muskets in their hands.

But they found that none of these Ming soldiers panicked.There are many veterans among these Manchu cavalry soldiers. According to their experience, as long as they make an all-out attack posture, some Ming soldiers can't help but fire, and then drive other soldiers to follow suit.

　Thank you Hope Heaven for your reward!
