The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 340

Jin Sheng said: "Lord Liu, as early as August [-]th, Deputy General Huang Han, Eunuch Fang, and the commander-in-chief of Huanglong used all their cavalry to attack Jiannu in the north. It should be a good harvest at this time.

Because during this period of time, Han people have been looking for the Jinzhou camp. They all said that they were rescued by the Ming army before they were able to escape from the claws of the slaves. camp.

Every three days, messengers will come to report the battle situation of the cavalry going north. It is going well so far. Our army has killed Jiannu like a rotten man and fled. The army may have penetrated into the hinterland of Jiannu for five or six hundred miles. "

Concentrating all the cavalry seems familiar!Liu Zhilun laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said:

"Haha, Mr. Huang is no longer a lieutenant general, but the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, who owns the right governor's office of the five-army governor's mansion, and should be the largest official on the southern Liaoning front.

Cavalry assault, wonderful, wonderful!Dudu Huang uses his troops like a god, and his visit will surely yield fruitful results. Let me go, I can't wait, I want to see with my own eyes how you besieged Jinzhou. "

Chengquan heard their conversation really well, knowing that his friend Fang Zhenghua went to the battlefield in person again, and You Rongyan said in a sharp voice:
"Did Eunuch Fang lead the general of the Shenshu Camp to join the battle? Will they be in danger? Where are the troops of Jin Yiwei? Why didn't our family see Li Zhishi and Lou Qianhu?"

Jin Sheng said: "All the cavalry have gone north, our hundred or so cavalry are the only ones who can gallop on horseback, basically have no cavalry skills, and can only dismount and fight on foot when encountering enemies.

Shenshuying and Jinyiwei all went up, as did the servants of the left-behind generals in Dongjiang Town. There were a total of 4000 people. "

Liu Zhilun nodded and said: "There are a lot of people, and Governor Huang will definitely kill the world and grab a lot of money this time.

It’s just the right time for you to come here as an errand, presumably after the Battle of Jinzhou, it won’t be a problem to go up to three levels in a row, then Brother Yu will definitely recommend you to be a soldier, and it’s best to be responsible for the soldiers, horses, money and food of Dongjiang Town or Ji Town. "

Jin Sheng said: "Thank you Lord Liu for being such an official, I don't want to be a high official and rich salary, but I just hope to be able to take on more responsibility.

The best money and rations to be able to become a soldier and be in charge of Dongjiang Town. Dongjiang soldiers who are short of food and wages are really struggling to survive. "

"Your brother contributed a lot to the joint efforts between Dongjiang Town and the 'Red Banner Army'. Don't worry, Governor Huang is very capable of making money and food. Dongjiang Town's life will be prosperous in the future."

Jin Sheng said: "That's true. Since the 'Red Banner Army' was handed over, Dongjiang Town has never starved to death. The soldiers look much better."

Just when hundreds of people approached the Jinzhou camp of the Ming army less than ten miles away, there was the sound of rumbling cannons, and Liu Zhilun hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?"

Zheng Xiaowen's speaking level is the highest among the people present, and he has also been promoted. He already has all the things from the fifth-rank Jiayu. He said with a smile on his face:

"Song Pengfei, the general who stayed behind in the camp, didn't come to welcome the angel and your lord. He said that he was going to welcome you with practical actions. At this time, he should welcome everyone grandly by bombarding Jinzhou."

The words Liu Zhilun and Chengquan really paid off in their ears, the two of them burst out laughing, they rode their horses and accelerated forward one after another, they couldn't wait any longer.

Liu Zhilun said: "General Song Pengfei is quite familiar with me. He has obtained the true biography of Governor Huang! I like civil servants and military generals who express themselves by actions. I don't like to greet and send hypocrisy. Today, you are easy to come and greet me. The officer is quite satisfied."

Zheng Xiaowen said: "Your Majesty often hears Dudu Huang mentioning Your Excellency, knowing that Your Excellency is dedicated to serving the public and does not stick to formalities. Besides, the army is simple and crude, so we can't make any pomp and ostentation."

Liu Zhilun said: "Captain Huang knows best when he uses troops. He has a lot of supplies on his expedition, but all of them have practical value. I guess he won't bother to carry things that are used for ostentation."

Jin Sheng affirmed: "Captain Huang is a true general! He is not only the champion of the three armies, but also considerate of his subordinates. The tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians here respect him like a god."

While chatting and listening to the sound of cannons, the hundreds of cavalry marched relaxed and happy. It didn't take long before they arrived at the Ming army camp outside Jinzhou City. Liu Zhilun didn't go into the big yurt left for him to rest, but visited with great interest. A huge encirclement surrounded by criss-cross ravines.

After turning around for half an hour, Liu Zhilun said to the civil servants and generals who were following him: "You can see the whole leopard at a glance. With such a siege, it is impossible for the Jinzhou defenders to escape."

Zheng Xiaowen said proudly: "When Captain Huang laid out the overall plan, he once said that Jiannu would dig trenches to encircle Dalinghe City, and our army would also dig trenches to encircle Jinzhou Weicheng, and it would be several times better than theirs.

Xiaguan has been paying attention to the progress and the level of completion. He thinks that he is invincible in the world, and the level of Jiannu should be far behind. "

Cheng Quan sighed, "It's so well organized, it doesn't look like a battlefield! Our family is convinced, and what kind of people lead what kind of soldiers."

Jin Sheng said: "That's true. In the past half a month, the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town have accepted the unified dispatch and command of the 'Red Banner Army', and the messy situation has been greatly improved.

And because the "Red Banner Army" provided everyone with three meals and meat, all the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town were enthusiastic. Everyone was willing to work hard, and the progress of the project was incredible. "

A group of people headed by Liu Zhilun was obviously looking for the sound of the guns, and Zheng Xiaowen stopped everyone after walking a certain distance: "The front is no longer safe, I suggest everyone not to go any further.

Ahead is the landing point that the Hongyi cannon deployed at the head of Jinzhou City can hit at the maximum elevation angle after careful calculation by artillery instructors and artillery observers. "

Liu Zhilun smiled and said: "I am an expert and understand the laws of cannons. It doesn't matter. The shells fired at the maximum elevation angle are not accurate at all. It depends on God's will where they land. I don't think I will be punished by God. I will not be wronged by chance. The incoming shells hit."

Zheng Xiaowen said with a smile: "If you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're afraid of the eventuality. I still suggest Master Liu and Eunuch Cheng not to move forward."

Liu Zhilun asked: "Master Zheng, don't you usually go to the front of the camp to have a look?"

Zheng Xiaowen said: "All civilian and military generals have the task of visiting and inspecting the grassroots every day, and there will be rotations at night. I will go to the front line every day. Even if we don't do anything, we just need to be at the front for the soldiers to see. It can boost morale."

"Isn't that enough? If you are not afraid of being bombarded, I will be afraid? Let's go, accompany me to see how General Song bombarded the city of Jinzhou."
