1041 Today is not what it used to be

At the top of Zhenjiang Fort, the guard general led a group of people to watch the grain escort team disappear in the distance. The crowd waited for a long time and refused to leave. After a long time, he didn't know who it was, and sighed and said, "It's a pity that so much food, not a bag was left!"

When someone heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Look at how hungry we are! If I had known it, I would have hidden a few bags of food last night!"

"They are strictly guarding you. Can you steal food?"

"What's impossible? After all, this is our territory..."

The Zhenjiang Fort guard heard this and couldn't listen anymore. He scolded: "Okay, please calm down. Those grains are used by the Emperor to deal with the Ming army in Anshan Post Fort at critical moments. Whoever dares to make the idea of ​​these grains, be careful to move!"

When he heard him speak, his subordinates didn't dare to say anything else, but they still sighed.

The Zhenjiang Fort Guard did not stop them from sighing. After all, he understood the mood of these subordinates. He couldn't eat enough every day, so it would be fine if he didn't see the food. Last night, so much food was placed in front of him, and it would be impossible to say that he wouldn't think about it.

Thinking of this, he sighed and touched his flat belly without a trace and said, "I hope that with this grain, I, the Qing Dynasty, can resist the autumn harvest. Now there is no Korqin tribe behind the trouble, and the grain from the north will definitely be collected in the warehouse. There is also the North Korean side. I heard that His Royal Highness is also growing a lot of food. By next year, we will all be able to eat enough. At that time, it will be time to calculate the total with the Ming Kingdom!"

Hearing this, his subordinates were a little depressed, and they suddenly felt like they had changed into another person. Someone even asked the Zhenjiang Fort guard and said, "Can the food be eaten then?"

"I can definitely eat it!" The Zhenjiang Fort Guard naturally answered with certainty. After hearing this, one of his subordinates couldn't help but say: "When I have food, I must save enough food at home. I will never want to have this kind of hunger anymore!"

Hearing this, many people showed the expression of your voice. After looking forward to a beautiful future on the city wall, they finally felt that it was boring to say this. Some of them were roaring in their stomachs. So they prepared to go down to the city wall, lying on the corpse, and getting something to eat when they should eat.

But at this moment, someone suddenly stopped and turned to look at the distance of the official road and said, "Listen, it seems that there is any sound?"

"What can there be a sound?" Someone said disapprovingly when he heard this, "People have gone far away. You don't think that those grain bags have grown their feet and have come back to our Zhenjiangbao, right?"

When they heard this, these people laughed loudly and then prepared to go to the top of the city wall. But after a while, a faint movement came and many people felt it.

"What's the sound?" someone asked instinctively instinctively.

The Zhenjiang Fort guard walked quickly to the exterior wall, looked at the winding official road, listened carefully, and suddenly his face changed: "It seems... it seems like there is a fight?"

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

When the others heard this, they waited to carefully distinguish it, they saw a fast horse galloping towards Zhenjiang Fort at the end of the official road. Everyone looked carefully and recognized it as the explorer of the grain protection team. Suddenly, the people on the top of the city all felt a little bad.

Sure enough, before the probing horse was approaching, after seeing someone on the top of the city, he stood up from the horse's back, waved his hand, and shouted anxiously: "When there is an ambush from the Ming army, you can help you quickly! If there is an ambush from the Ming army, you can help you quickly..."

At first, I couldn't hear clearly or see clearly. But soon, the people on the city wall saw the anxious expression of the horse and heard his shouting. Suddenly, the people on the city wall were anxious.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort quickly turned around and ordered loudly: "Hurry up, gather troops and reinforce immediately."

His subordinates also followed him to the city, and after hearing this, they all agreed. But then, a disharmonious questioning immediately sounded: "Sir, everyone is hungry, how can they go to fight?"

As soon as these words were said, all those who left in a hurry were as if they had taken root and could not move any longer.

At this time, the horse had already rushed into the city, shouting loudly, calling back the god of the Zhenjiang Fort guard. He immediately ordered: "Why are you still standing there? I will release the reserved food immediately, find all the food that can be eaten, and let everyone get some things. If it is too late to send troops, the emperor will definitely punish you!"

Speaking of this, he stopped and added: "So much food cannot be taken away by the Ming army!"

Thinking of so much food, everyone accelerated their pace and went to prepare one after another.

In just a while, a fast horse was racing, and he also shouted the Ming army ambush, the food team was dangerous, and the rescue was quick, and then he did not enter Zhenjiang Fort and continued to go along the official road.

When the Zhenjiang Fortress saw it, he knew that he was going to Xinyizhou opposite the Yalu River to bring reinforcements. Thinking of this, his confidence was a little more. If this continues, the Qing army will definitely increase. Even if the Ming army can defeat the grain-protecting army, he will definitely not be able to escape. The only thing to worry about now is that he is afraid that the Ming army will burn the grain!

Before the troops of Zhenjiang Fort had time to go out, a large group of cavalry rushed over the official road, and they were so embarrassed. The guards of Zhenjiang Fort saw it and were immediately anxious. Needless to say, those cavalry must be from the Qing Dynasty. If they were from the Ming army, they would not have been able to come from Zhenjiang Fort after they were defeated. This means that the grain protection team was defeated?

Thinking of this, he felt that it seemed a bit unlikely. You should know that the grain protection team, but Azigbele led two thousand troops, and Duke Yanguli led one thousand troops, among which two thousand Manchu warriors, how could he be defeated so quickly?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly realized that among the cavalry that fled back, wasn't it Ajigbele? He had fled back, and he was definitely defeated! At the first moment, the guard of Zhenjiang Fort thought that it was over, so much food, it was all over!

Ajige fled back to Zhenjiang Fort in one breath. When his helmet fell off, he turned over and dismounted and gasped. At the same time, he shouted to the Zhenjiang Fort guard who hurriedly ran to him: "Hurry up, gather all your troops and horses immediately, and send a probe to investigate the movements of the Ming army, collect the defeated soldiers, and must be taken back the food!"

After hearing this, the Zhenjiang Fort Guard immediately agreed, but he knew in his heart that since so much food had fallen into the hands of the Ming army, he would probably not be able to take it back.

But no matter what, dead horses must be treated as live horses. He immediately sent a probe to search along the official road.

After drinking a lot of water in one breath, Ajig, who was still in shock, finally became a little stable. At this time, he remembered and asked his guards, "Where is Yangguli? Where is others?"

The personal guards who followed him back were only concerned about protecting Ajig's life at that time, and they were also concerned about observing the battlefield and finding the traces of Yanguli. Therefore, when Ajig asked, no one could answer.

In the end, an older guard replied: "Mr. Yangguli is very serious and there should be no problem. Maybe he retreated to Tangzhan Fort. He would definitely ask Tangzhan Fort to send troops, and then quickly pass it back. At that time, more people will be gathered. We two groups of soldiers chase the Ming army and will definitely be able to regain the food!"

Hearing this, Ajig's face finally looked a little better. He nodded and agreed with this statement. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked quickly: "Have the messenger who asked for help from Shinyiju was sent?"

"Master Beile, I have sent it before." His personal guard replied immediately.

Azig thought of the thousand soldiers and horses of Dodo. He urgently needed these thousand soldiers at this time. Therefore, after hearing this, he felt that it was not safe, so he immediately ordered: "Hurry, send a messenger again, and send a messenger to Shinyiju immediately. Be sure to let Dodo come to help. If he is no longer in Shinyiju, he will continue to chase him and let him return to the help."

The personal guard originally thought that he had already sent him, so he didn't have to send him anymore, but when he thought about Ajige's mood at this time, he didn't dare to say this, so he immediately sent a messenger to set off according to Ajige's wishes.

As time passed slowly, Ajige felt like he was feeling uncomfortable and could not sit still. The fleeing soldiers were not as many as he imagined. This means that most of the troops of the grain protection team were probably killed by the Ming army. Otherwise, without giving instructions, they would definitely escape to the nearest Zhenjiang Fort.

If you cannot collect enough defeated soldiers, how can you be the opponent of the Ming army if you rely solely on the Zhenjiang Fortress? Thinking of this, Ajige immediately recalled the scene that suddenly appeared in the Ming army. The Ming army's cavalry actually had division of labor. He expected that his reaction might have been there. Just a round of charge, he rushed here into two sections!

Thinking of this, Ajige didn't know what was wrong, so he felt a sense of fear. At this time, he finally realized why the grain protection teams were robbed by the Ming army in the past? But then he couldn't understand why the Ming army was so prepared that even the infantry rushed back?

While he was thinking about it, someone suddenly screamed on the top of the city. When Ajige heard the sound, he quickly looked up, but saw that the Ming cavalry was coming here in the distance of the official road.

What's the situation? Is it not enough that the Ming army robbed the food, but still wanted to attack Zhenjiang Fort? Thinking of this, Ajige was frightened and immediately ordered: "Hurry, hurry, all go to the city to defend!"

At this time, most of the troops in Zhenjiang Fort were busy preparing to go to war. When they heard this, they all ran to the top of the city.

In just a short while, the Ming cavalry was approaching. Some of the horse-drawn horse-drawn horsemen were roaring toward Zhenjiang Fort, smiling and ridiculing, provoking the Qing soldiers on the top of the city. Even Ajige's handsome flag was picked up by them, and they humiliated him in front of Ajige's top of the city.

This made Ajige's face turn red, but he didn't dare to order out for a battle at all. He just held the city wall's hands and shivered slightly. At this time, he once again experienced the feeling of the Ming army guarding the city being humiliated by Jianlu outside the city.

He tried hard to prevent himself from looking at the provocative cavalry. He looked up and saw that behind the cavalry, the Ming infantry was also coming here with trucks of grain trucks.

At this time, he was puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "What are these Ming soldiers doing? Where are they bringing their food?"

Going here, he is about to go to North Korea. He doesn't understand why the Ming army did not retreat to the south, but instead went to North Korea?

Hearing this, one of his personal guards suddenly realized and shouted: "Master, no, the Ming army has a navy, they must have wanted to walk from the sea."

As soon as he said this, Ajig immediately remembered it. So he was really panicked.

If the Ming army returned by land, it would definitely not be able to walk fast with so much food. After gathering reinforcements here, they would chase them all the way, and at such a long distance, they would definitely be able to recover them. But if the Ming army walked from the sea, Zhenjiang Fort would be the Yalu River. Once the Ming army was put on the ship, the Qing Dynasty would have to stare at me!

Thinking of Huang Taiji's face after losing these life-saving foods, Ajige couldn't stand it anymore. He immediately ordered: "Hurry up, gather troops and go out of the city to fight. No matter what, you must block the Ming army here!"

Zhenjiang Fort was only on the edge of the official road. As long as the Ming army continued to walk east along the official road, they did not need to capture Zhenjiang Fort. Therefore, Ajige had this order. Otherwise, he could not bear it by watching the grain trucks leaving in front of him. The same was true for the guards of Zhenjiang Fort, and he could not bear it. So, the city immediately became busy again. Even though they had just been defeated by the Ming army and their morale was not high, they thought that the grain was stolen by the Ming army in front of them, which was something they would never allow, and they plucked up their courage to prepare to fight.

Seeing the movement on the city, Lu Xiangsheng didn't care at all, but nodded at the new military advisor Cao Bianjiao. Then, he saw teams of bars driving up and blocking the area outside the gate of Zhenjiang Fort, standing in rows, waiting for the enemy to leave the city. As for the grain trucks, he could walk as he could. Except for the eight banners of the Han army who were captured, he was a little panicked and at a loss, the others did not take the Qing soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort seriously at all.

If it were a few years ago, it would be unimaginable, but now, they think it should be like this!

As soon as the gate of Zhenjiang Fort opened, the Qing cavalry rushed out first and rushed towards the infantry formation gathered by the Ming army, trying to lure the Ming army into 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 were panicked. There were many veterans in these Qing cavalry and strokes. According to their experience, as long as they attacked with all their strength, the Ming army would be unable to help but open fire, and then lead other soldiers to fire.

Thanks to Hope Heaven for the reward!
