Blood from Daming

Chapter 572 Buying Firearms

Lu Yaojin and Zhang Wan set up an ambush in the barracks left by Jianlu and ate up half of the troops led by Jianlu Xianglan Banner Jierhalang in one fell swoop. Although they did not wipe out Jierhalang's troops, such an ambush The victory lies in his small losses. Lu Yaojin began to uphold the young master's military thinking, to exchange for the greatest victory at the smallest cost. The casualties of Xue's army soldiers did not reach three digits, which is not much in the history of Xue's army's battles.

In contrast, Zhang Wan’s North Korean army lost a lot. The barracks Xiyuanmen and Dongyuanmen added up to three to 4000 people were killed and injured, and one soldier was lost. If we look at the casualties of the Korean army and Jianlu At most, the North Korean army had a tie, but judging from the overall situation, it was a big victory. Zhang Wan believed that the North Korean army could cooperate with the Xue family army to defeat the Jianlu. This was a big victory, and it was a big victory.

Zhang Wan was excited, killing so many real Tartars, North Korea is truly ashamed, the sparsely populated post-golden Tartars may not be able to withstand such a few times, but thinking that his army is not up to the mark, he insisted Zhang Wan was really embarrassed to face Lu Yaojin with the two groups of Houjin Xianglanqi who were about to be wiped out after being let go.

It's a pity that the sky didn't follow people's wishes, and soon there was a situation in the southeast where Li Gui's troops were defeated and returned. This made Zhang Wan rush across the battlefield to Lu Yaojin while the battle at Xiyuanmen was still going on. Beside him, I implore Lu Yaojin to lead the Xue family army to support Li Gui's troops who have returned from defeat.

At this time, Lu Yaojin was very happy for the victory, but he was very angry with the North Korean army for being so useless. If he fought for a little bit, even if he couldn't completely wipe out Jierhalang, it would still be better to leave three or two thousand Tartars behind. It's possible, seeing Zhang Wan running over to ask Xue Jiajun for help now.

Lu Yaojin sighed and said: "Marshal Zhang, your Korean army should really be elite soldiers. The Jurchens are human beings, and if the Koreans were human beings, they would not be able to fight the Tartars in a dignified way if they were chased and killed like this. In the field, as the saying goes, when two armies meet, the brave wins, so if we kill some of these Jurchen Tartars, this general does not believe that those Jurchen Tartars are not afraid of death."

Zhang Wan was choked by Lu Yaojin. Fortunately, Zhang Wan has already developed immunity to Lu Yaojin. He can automatically filter some of Lu Yaojin's words or put them in the left ear and out of the right ear. Anyway, it is a principle to ask Lu Yaojin To ask Xue Jiajun for support and help, in a word, is to rely on Xue Jiajun.

Lu Yaojin couldn't bear Zhang Wan's constant nagging and said: "Marshal Zhang, how can we rescue Li Gui's troops in the dark now? The only way is for Li Gui to be smart and escape to the Yalu River to line up by the water. It is basically safe to rely on my Xue Family Army Navy Fleet."

Zhang Wan looked at the pitch-black field in the distance, sighed deeply, and said, "General Lu, even though I said that, I really can't get over this hurdle if I want to sit idly by, so I'd better ask General Lu to help you." Let's give the North Korean army a hand."

Lu Yaojin said in a sloppy manner: "Marshal Zhang, most of our Xue's army uses muskets, which are not suitable for night battles. Moreover, the proportion of night blindness among Xue's soldiers is very high."

Zhang Wan despises Lu Yaojin for being stingy and deceitful. No one knows how many times the food of the Xue family army is better than that of the North Korean army. They bought it all, and the North Korean soldiers were so greedy that they drool. If it weren’t for the armies of the two countries, most of the North Korean army would probably have taken refuge in Xue’s army. Xue’s army has such a good living condition. If most soldiers in Xue’s army are still night blind, then the North Korean army Soldiers are blind.

Zhang Wan understood that Lu Yaojin would not easily let the soldiers of Xue's army fight North Korea, so he had to settle for the next best thing and said: "General Lu, the combat effectiveness of my commander's team is really poor, but Deputy Commander Li Gui has to save him, I just hope General Lu can send troops to assist my army.”

Lu Yaojinxin said that with the North Korean army serving as cannon fodder in front, this kind of battle can still be fought, so he said to Zhang Wan: "Marshal Zhang, since you are talking about this, I have no choice but to give up my life to accompany the gentleman, but this The general thought that my navy, Xue’s army, would definitely seize the opportunity to provide artillery support. As long as Li Gui’s deputy commander reached the riverside, there would be no danger. Prisoner, wait until tomorrow morning to make plans.”

Seeing that Lu Yaojin agreed to the night battle, Zhang Wan immediately went back to summon the generals to organize a team to rescue Li Gui. Unfortunately, the North Korean army had no way to organize the soldiers after repeated campaigns. Zhang Wan, Yi Chaofang and other generals had to work hard for a long time before they managed to survive. Five or six thousand North Koreans were on the road, and the other more than 1 soldiers herded sheep.

This made Marshal Zhang Wan want to cry, so he had no choice but to continue to gather the army, while asking Lu Yaojin to lead the Xue family army to fight together as soon as possible. Lu Yaojin saw that Zhang Wan was helpless, so he ordered the governor Tao Yaofu and Zuo Ming Rendezvous, follow the North Korean army, and cooperate with the North Korean army's actions.

Zhang Wan saw the navy sailors of the Xue family army set off under the leadership of the governor Tao Yaofu, and a stone fell in his heart, so Zhang Wan clung to Lu Yaojin's side tightly, which made Lu Yaojin feel very annoying, but Zhang Wan The effect of Wan's move was particularly good. With Xue Jiajun's participation in the battle, thousands of North Korean soldiers soon returned, and Zhang Wan had a lot of people behind him who could support the scene.

"Boom" "Boom" and "Boom" recalled the sound of cannons. Lu Yaojin, Zhang Wan and their soldiers looked towards the east bank of the river. It was all red, and the big charmander that had entered the range of the artillery was obviously scattered, and it was obviously hit by the artillery fire of Xue Jiajun's navy.

When Zhang Wan heard the gunfire from the Xue family's navy, his heart sank. With the support of the Xue family's navy, he believed that the North Korean soldiers who escaped were saved. Zhang Wan said to Lu Yaojin who was marching together: " General Lu, your Xue family army is worthy of being the most powerful army in the world, I wonder if our country can invite generals of the Xue family army to be instructors, so that North Korea can become an elite soldier like the Xue family army."

Lu Yaojin was stunned for a moment and replied: "Marshal Zhang, in fact, the Korean army has been trained very well, it just lacks a bit of wildness."

Zhang Wan sighed and said, "General Lu, my soldiers are all from the North Korean army. I really can't relax military discipline, otherwise it will become a cancer that harms the common people."

Lu Yaojin was dissatisfied and said: "Marshal Zhang, don't you think that Xue's army is not the official army of Ming Dynasty?"

Zhang Wan waved his hands again and again: "General Lu, you misunderstood. This commander is only worried that once the soldiers get used to burning, killing and looting, the military discipline will disappear. Xue's army has strict military discipline, so naturally such things will not happen."

Lu Yaojin laughed loudly and said: "Marshal Zhang, everyone knows what my Xue family army did on the Jianlu territory. Everyone knows what the North Korean army is doing in Yizhou City. This general knows that people don't. To speak in secret, Jianlu were burned, killed and looted in the Ming Dynasty, Jianlu are not human, so this general has never treated them as human beings, and he will kill them all, not afraid of gossip from the world and hypocrisy."

Zhang Wan kicked and said: "General Lu, this commander is hypocritical, but once the soldiers return to the country, they violate military regulations. It is difficult to grasp the internal and external standards."

Lu Yaojin smiled and said: "The country violates the warlords. My military law of the Xue family is a vegetarian. If you cut it with a steel knife, you will not recognize people. However, the rewards and salaries of the Xue family army are generous. It is enough to support a family and find a woman. How can I do evil? What about the matter?"

Zhang Wan said: "Okay, let the soldiers practice their courage as General Lu said, but please ask General Lu to help you with the matter of asking the instructor."

Lu Yaojin paused and said, "Marshal Zhang, apart from being ruthless, the Xue family army really has nothing for you North Korea to learn from."

Zhang Wan hesitated for a while and said, "General Lu, can our North Korean army practice with those muskets, grenades, and explosives? Can your Xue family army sell some muskets, grenades, and explosives to North Korea?"

At this moment, Lu Yaojin understood that Zhang Wan made such a big detour, and it turned out that he was targeting the muskets, grenades, and explosives of Xue Jiajun. Lu Yaojin felt that Zhang Wan was too ignorant of current affairs. The explosive package belonged to the Xue family army. This is a sharp weapon of the country that cannot be shown to others. How could the Xue family army pass it on to the outside? If Zhang Wan said so, it would be difficult for the Xue family army to be friends with North Korea.

So Lu Yaojin remained silent, hoping that Zhang Wan would retreat in spite of the difficulties, but who knew that Zhang Wan wiped his face into his purse as soon as he opened his mouth. Knowing that Lu Yaojin could not agree, he still said cheekily: "General Lu, our country and Ming Dynasty have been friendly for generations. My king is even more optimistic about the Xue family army as the pillar of Ming Dynasty. As long as the Xue family army is willing to teach and sell firearms, the North Korean army vows to fight to the end with the Jinda thief."

Lu Yaojin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Marshal Zhang, you have been talking for a long time, and you just fell in love with the muskets, grenades, and explosives of our Xue family army, right?"

Zhang Wan said with a sneer: "General Lu, this is also to strengthen our country's military power. It is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty and the Xue family army. As for the price, you will be satisfied, General Lu."

Lu Yaojin said: "If these muskets, grenades, and explosives fall into the hands of your North Korean army, they may soon fall into the hands of Jianlu. At that time, Jianlu has mastered the secrets of muskets, grenades, and explosives. , I am afraid that no one will be able to restrain him again.”
