Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 724 Report victory to Shenglong!
When Mo Yulin arrived at the Henan Zhisuo Mansion, Huang Ting'ai, the forward of Zheng Jun in the Houli Dynasty, was only thirty miles away.Fortunately, Mo Dunrang didn't bother or resist after receiving the order. Instead, he just sighed and handed over his military power and left. This gave him the opportunity to deploy the city defense.

This Fuli City is not big. If you want to compare it, it may be smaller than the high-practice hometown Xinzheng County, only about two-thirds of the size of Xinzheng County.

And this is just a comparison of size. Since Xinzheng County is Gao's pragmatic hometown, Gao's family even contributed money and efforts to help the county repair the city wall. In terms of the solidity of the city defense, it completely exploded the small city in the mansion.

Mo Yulin's mission was to defend this small city, and all he relied on was the [-] Southern Expeditionary Army that had just come under his command and whose morale had dropped to the extreme.

Nanzheng's talk has already become a joke, and Ningping's battle has already broken their backs. Now their real wish is to escape for their lives—to escape back to Thang Long!

As for what to do after escaping back to Thang Long, no one thought about it.

Mo Yulin summoned all the officers from more than a hundred households to cheer them up, and his method of boosting morale was extremely simple, with only one sentence: "The emperor has invited reinforcements from Guangxi, and in ten days at most, one hundred thousand tomorrow's soldiers Come and fight with us!"

After a moment of surprise, everyone fell into ecstasy!

Daming made a move!Daming help us!We are saved!
But after a while of ecstasy, everyone had some doubts: Is this true?
Mo Yulin said indifferently: "If it wasn't for Da Ming's will, how could King Ying return to the dragon at this time?"

Oh...so that's what happened!

Now everyone believed it - there was no way not to believe it, if it wasn't for Daming's intention, how could the emperor have seized King Ying's military power because of Ning Ping's "that little thing" before?How could King Ying leave so happily and obediently?

It seems that there is really salvation this time, and the premise is just to guard the mansion for ten days!
After all, it is Mo's elite foundation. Although his spine was broken by the First World War, if he can't beat Zheng Ni, he can't win Zheng Ni. If he just defends the mansion for ten days, he can still do it!
Facts have proved that as long as this army has confidence, their combat effectiveness is actually not very bad, at least they have done a good job in defending the city.Huang Tingai's onslaught launched by the victorious army was repulsed seven times by the Mo army encouraged by the "big Ming soldiers".

What's even more amazing is that as Huang Ting'ai's troops who defeated King Ying were repulsed seven times, the morale and confidence of this army began to recover. They found that the combat effectiveness of Zheng's army was actually the same as before. It's just about the same, and there's nothing special about it.

If it weren't for Zheng Song's army that also marched to the mansion, Mo Yulin even felt that the army's morale could be used, and he could go out of the city to fight Huang Ting'ai head-on!

However, now that the main force of Zheng Song's army has arrived, Mo Yulin has no intention of going out to fight in waves. Anyway, Gao Presstai gave him the order to guard the mansion and Henan, so why should he risk defeat to fight Zheng Jun? ?
Besides, judging from Gao's meaning, it seems that this Southern Expedition Army may be handed over to him... His own strength, so he can't be squandered easily.

After Zheng Song arrived at the base of the mansion, he also launched a fierce attack, and his main force was different from Huang Ting'ai's. His firepower was stronger, because in addition to those 100-year-old local cannons in his hands, he also had the Frang machine gun!

It was a matter of his future and even his family and life. Mo Yulin was not too frightened to fight because he saw the Frang cannon. He not only calmly arranged defenses, but even went to the tower to check the enemy's situation in person.

He discovered a very critical problem, or two: the Frang machine guns in the Zheng army are not many, only about twenty, and... seem to be smaller than the Flang machine guns in the Ming army.

If you want to compare the Frang machine heavy artillery on the fleet outside Thang Long City, it will be even worse.

Mo Yulin was relieved, he just explained the defense mission, and then sent five messengers to report this discovery to Shenglong——Zheng Jun's combat skills are probably also learned from China, and he gave Mo Yulin a siege. Go north to let him escape.

It's a pity that Mo Yulin became determined after eating the weight this time, insisting on carrying them in the mansion just to have a fight with them, how could he run away!
Zheng Jun also seemed to be in a hurry, he didn't wait too long, and quickly launched an offensive.However, Zheng Jun seemed to cherish their Frang machine guns very much. He first launched two rounds of old-fashioned ants to attack the city. After confirming that the long-range strike capability on the tower was weak, he pushed the cannons forward.

A rumbling burst of artillery fire made dozens of potholes in the low city wall of Fuli, but it was not enough to destroy the city wall-this was caused by the shells not being big enough, because the twenty Franc cannons were actually Infantry artillery belongs to the nature of field artillery, not siege artillery.

After Zheng Jun fired a few rounds of artillery, he also discovered this problem and withdrew the artillery again.

However, Zheng Jun did not continue to forcibly attack the city, but withdrew his troops for three miles and set up camp.

Mo Yulin did not relax his vigilance, and seriously arranged the task of guarding against night raids, but this night passed, and Zheng Jun did not attack at night, which made Mo Yulin a little disappointed——Night raids are very difficult these days, and he planned to take advantage of Zheng Jun's attack. Let the army attack at night, let them have a look.

On the second day, according to Mo Yulin's prediction, Zheng Jun should make a big move and launch a fierce attack like breaking the boat. However, something unexpected happened, and Zheng Jun actually pulled out his camp and started to retreat!

Mo Yulin was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that the main force of the highly pragmatic Ming army had gone south, and Zheng Song had learned the news from his scouts, which was why Zheng Song withdrew his troops.

But after thinking about it, it seems that something should not be done.The Ming army would definitely go south. Mo Yulin believed that Gao Yushi would not lie to him, but he didn't think Gao Yushi would be in such a hurry.

If it were him who was highly pragmatic and would not be in a hurry, he could have let Zheng Jun and Mo Jun fight a good battle in Henan. Anyway, this battle is very important to both sides, and it is impossible for everyone to spare any spare energy.

When two tigers fight, one will be injured.No matter which side suffers, it is not a bad thing for him to be pragmatic. It can even be said that the best ending is to lose both sides. If this is the case, why did he come so soon?

But Zheng Jun did retreat. Mo Yulin sent scouts to investigate carefully, and found that Zheng Jun not only retreated, but also walked in a hurry. He didn't even send troops behind to cover the battlefield. Instead, the entire army went all the way south. , without looking back.

There is something wrong with this situation... Mo Yulin thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Could it be that Ruan Juan successfully attacked Qinghua by surprise?

Oh, "success" may be a bit difficult. Thanh Hoa is the base camp of the Zheng army, and the place where the Li Dynasty settled down. Even if Zheng Song's army went out, there must be enough troops to guard it. After all, when King Qian was there, he often fought This kind of frontal attack and surprise attack by sea, Qinghua City is only twenty or thirty miles away from the mouth of the Zhujiang River (not the Pearl River in Guangdong and Guangxi). Now these things?

Then, there is only one possibility, Ruan Juan is indeed attacking Thanh Hoa, maybe it is approaching, maybe it has already begun to attack, in a word, Thanh Hoa is under threat - Thanh Hoa is more important to the Le Dynasty than Thang Long is to Mo Considering the importance of the DPRK, once Thanh Hoa is attacked, Zheng Song will not be able to withdraw his troops and return to aid.

For the Houli Dynasty, attacking Tsinghua is truly a must to save!

Of course, there is another possibility that Zheng Song is playing tricks with himself to lure the enemy, but that is meaningless, he just wants to defend the Fuli City now, and win a meritorious service in front of the high press platform first, what else? , that's all for later, don't worry at all now. ,

Mo Yulin laughed contentedly, first praised the new generals under his command, then waved his hand and said, "Come here, give Shenglong a victory!"
