Chapter Fifty.
Cheng Buzhi was very strict in governing the army. Everyone under his command served him. Li Guang was very lenient in governing the army. He was not timid at night. The soldiers were willing to fight for him. Five thousand soldiers could be used as 50,000 people. However, more often, a good commander still prefers generals like Cheng Buzhi. After all, Li Guang's instability is too great, either a big victory or a big defeat.
No one who died of a knife behind his back was given a pension. Five bloody heads were hung at the entrance of the village. The originally scattered Xidaying Yibashi became much more nervous. The idle soldiers and their own soldiers led their own troops were in danger. The one who built a house and the other who sent them to practice the queue were all eager to get up and walk with their heads raised and their chests raised.
This force was like a heart-strengthening needle, which made the troops under his command temporarily energized. However, standing on the third floor of Mubao, watching the Ming soldiers who pushed down the collapsed and burnt thatched houses, transported the garbage out of the village little by little, and then shouted at the newly dug out corpse, Mao Jue was still not happy.
Not to mention anything else, the new official took office for three reasons. If he wanted to suppress these local tyrants, he had to show some decent military achievements and suppress them with ruthlessness. But now, less than 60 Jiannu beaten them with a thousand four hundred people, and finally more than ten were ran away. Not to mention establishing his authority, it would be almost the same to become a laughing stock when he went back.
Just when Mao Jue was in a daze, a cry of equally tired but fragrant sounded behind him.
"Master General!"
It is said that a gentleman is so singular, and a villain hides his cock. Su Changmei is so fat in such an environment. She was scared to be a soft-legged shrimp yesterday. It would be strange if he could be a good soldier. However, this guy knows more about camping than Pang Dahai, and he is served with a pot of hot chicken soup, and he also smiles like a bun pleat. Just like the eunuchs serving the emperor, he doesn't even hit people with a smile on his face. It's really alienating.
He came in with the food box and placed the big bowl on the table. The guy was almost laughing like honey, and he held his fists respectfully.
"You were injured yesterday, and today I need to take some to replenish your vitality. I ordered you to cook and add ginseng to it. I will drink it while it's hot. I will definitely ensure that you are very lively again! It's no problem to settle a few old ladies at night!"
"Let's go!"
All of them were all covered in dust when they were beaten by No. 60. A total of 37 Jiannu were killed. According to the military habits of this era, they all cut their heads and put them on the white gray and nitrogen. There were soldiers busy with them under the stairs. Perhaps they were used to playing games. Looking at the grinning heads, Mao Jue did not feel afraid or intimidated. He was only upset, and waved his hands like a bored fly.
This look made Su Changmei look surprised, and she was surprised to arch her fist again.
"Mr. General, you have made such military achievements in your old age. Beheadings are quite good. Although it is difficult to become an official again, the court will definitely reward you based on merits and Mao Shuai will also praise you very much. How can you still be so worried?"
"Military achievements?"
Mao Jue said this and hummed himself with a self-deprecating voice.
"It is said that killing three thousand people will hurt you eight hundred. I have lost more than two hundred good soldiers and beheading less than forty. Where can I get the merits!"
Shaking his head, he turned back from the window, drank a spoonful of chicken soup, and Mao Jue slapped the table angrily again.
"Damn it, I have to find a way to deal with this defeat with my old man."
The look of astonishment on his face became more and more intense, but soon, a strange color appeared on the folds of the bun, as if he had thought of something. The fat man clasped his fists again, and said nothing more, and then took his leave.
…………
It is embarrassing to say that North Korea has tens of thousands of troops, and Dongjiang Town also has two to thirty thousand troops. However, the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty, which was less than 10,000 in Yizhou City, shocked the entire peninsula. Moreover, the three thousand Jiannu who were dispatched to sweep were not targeting Tieshan County, but plundering the four northern roads of the Korean Kingdom. This force made the entire Tieshan feel like a great enemy, and the generals of the Ming army did not even dare to leave the city for more than two days.
Among them, there was also a Mao Jue added. It is said that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. He made the tiger bite hard, which was heartbreaking. Now there is no gun that can kill the tiger, and he dare not act rashly.
Fortunately, not only his side was concerned. Although Jiannu had invested in Tieshan, more than 30 people died suddenly. It seemed that they had sent out news that the Ming army was going to take serious action. Besides, the villages north of Tieshan were almost destroyed and robbed. Within a few days, the scouts sent by Wen Meng kept sending back the news, and the traces of the Jiannu cavalry gradually decreased. About fifteen days after the war began, there were no traces of the Jiannu cavalry in Tieshan County.
With Mao Jue in addition, there was no difference in this battle. It was better to wait until Jiannu finished burning and robbing it, and retreated with satisfaction. The Ming army dared to take back the ruined tung land and fort step by step.
On the seventh day of the garrison in Yuegu, guerrilla general Tian Tao sent someone to send a message that his troops had already taken Nichuan from the north and brought back the Tieshan Qiantun Station, the northernmost part of Tieshan County. This was equivalent to bringing back the north gate of Tieshan County. Although it was just a "broken wooden door", it could make two sounds when pushed open, and Mao Jue could finally take his subordinates back to Tieshan.
Liu Chong, who was ahead, took thirty horses and rode his horses, and was rushing. This time he fought with Mao Jue. Although he was a little embarrassed, Mao Jue's fierceness in fighting to the death inspired these old soldiers. However, behind him, there were only about eighty newly recruited young fishermen who were marching weakly, carrying muskets, and many people's faces were even bruised and swollen.
Mao Jue was very angry about this collapse. Other troops practiced for a long time, and they had to practice for a whole day. In order to ensure the solidity of the battle formation, Mao Jue ordered that when they lined up, a special person would use stones and blocks of soil to smash here from all angles. From time to time, cavalry rushed over and made fierce moves to hit them. For them, the seven days after the war, they almost became the Devil Week.
Behind the battle brigade was still a chasm with a mess of formation, but the water-crotched pisses that I couldn't find when I was unable to find, and now they are still a lot more neat. These days, Mao Jue mainly ordered contact and gathering to meet and fight. Although he didn't know how to actually go to the battlefield, Mao Jue ordered gathering last night, and these guys rushed out of the earthen house where they lived with weapons within five minutes.
If Jiannu raided again, there would be no more than a thousand people running around and could not organize a battle and counterattack for more than half an hour.
He followed Liu Chong's cavalry on a horse, and while walking, Mao Jue was always tilting his mouth and hissing, looking like a toothache.
Regarding the others, Jiannu's big move made him puzzled. He was so clear about the later visitor who didn't know which ruled Schrödinger's rule that he came back. From the second to the third year of Chongzhen, there was an extremely tragic battle to defend the capital. This was the second time after the Oirat invaded the capital by the northern ethnic minority regime, the Ming Empire was burned to the capital by the northern minority regime. It was also this time that the passionate Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan was imprisoned, and then he was cut into pieces in Caishikou with great tragic force.
This large-scale sweep was to prepare for Huang Taiji's plan to enter the pass. He first attacked Dongjiang, North Korea, and even Mao Jue, which could predict that the Liaodong army on the front line of Daling River in Jinzhou also faced large-scale attacks and harassment from small organizations like Jiannu, with the purpose of destroying the Ming army's autumn harvest. Once the grain reserves were insufficient, the Ming army would be unable to attack Jianzhou Shenyang while it was using large-scale troops in the pass.
But the pain is here. I knew what was about to happen, but I was unable to change anything. I persuaded Mao Wenlong to take this opportunity to go out to attack Hetuala and Chenyang? I could try it, but the success rate was less than 10%. Do something by myself? Just based on what I saw and heard in this Battle of Iron Mountain, Mao Jue suspected that he could not take the five thousand men under his command to the Yuegu line.
Moreover, Huang Taiji's strategic intentions have also been achieved. More than two-thirds of the military farms in Tieshan were destroyed, and North Korea's four roads were also attacked. Just the day before yesterday, the envoy sent by the King of Korea had just passed his defense zone and went to Pi Island to discuss with Mao Wenlong to reduce the supply of maroon rice this year.
He had just broken up with Yuan Chonghuan. He wanted to transport grain to pick up Dongjiang. Unless the sun came out from the west, the fortune on Shandong had just returned, and it would not be able to relieve incoming thirst.
What made Mao Jue even more troubled was that he wanted to establish his authority this time. Unexpectedly, his face was lost first without establishing his power. He could not suppress Zhao Cheng, Tian Tao, He Momo and other rich people, all his plans in Tieshan were vain.
The grain, wages, civilians, and military were pressing on Mao Jue's forehead, which made him feel the embarrassment of Liu Erhei who was sleeping in the same room when he borrowed money from his girlfriend. He tilted his mouth and followed the queue. Before he knew it, he returned to Tieshan City. However, when he saw the city wall, something was wrong and spread. Wen Mengle stopped the war horse and came to Mao Jue's side, and pointed forward in shock and vigilance.
"Your Majesty, look, something is wrong!"
After suddenly awakening, Mao Jue raised his hand in surprise. In an instant, the marching queue stopped abruptly. In Mao Jue's eyes, the north gate of Tieshan City was surrounded by water, and a thick layer of people were blocked outside the city gate. Looking at the official road entrance, the number of people was less than 10,000 or 20,000. Almost half of the population in Tieshan County seemed to have all come out.
What's wrong with this?
Without thinking about the benefits at the first time, Mao Jue yelled at Liu Chong: "Liu Baihu, you lead the cavalry around the west gate into the city and pull out the steamed buns for me. I want to ask him which one was causing trouble? Wen Meng, assembled the cavalry, and commanded the infantry team in Pang Dahai, and lined up on the spot..."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Master Jiang, no need! This is a good thing!"
Before Mao Jue could finish his roar, Su Changmei, the fat version behind him nervously pulled his oily hands on Mao Jue's sleeve. Her fat face smiled like a blooming old chrysanthemum, and she was so sweet that she was a little disgusting and shouting.
"This is a small arrangement. These are all for the people who are here to welcome the triumphant people!"
"What's the matter!"
Before Mao Jue could react, the people of Tieshan County, who were looking at the military flag, suddenly came over like a flood. They were all happy and excited, and even hugged the military formation with tears in their faces. The steamed buns, eggs, food, wine and food in the basket were constantly stuffed into the hands of the shocked soldiers.
More than a dozen wealthy families in the city beat drums and drums, carried the loads of servants and servants, and drove pigs and sheep with red silk hangings. They excitedly squeezed into the personal soldiers, put the things in front of the horse, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Caomin and others welcome the gang generals to triumph. They are all the hearts of the villagers. Please accept them!"
This is really a food pot! But Mao Jue, who was surrounded, couldn't help but be confused and turned to Su Changmei in surprise.
Chapter completed!
