Iron blood Suiming

() Li Jianguo's face was a little gloomy. He never underestimated Hou Zongwu, so he sent Feng Guo to use this bait in order to delay for a few days until he stabilized Jiaozhou.

At this moment, it seems that he took it for granted. Hou Zongwu saw through his strategy and found out his position.

After thinking for a while, Li Jianguo made a decision. It was impossible for him to occupy Jiaozhou as planned. He could not defend the city with Hou Zongwu in Jiaozhou.

The people here and the favorable location are not in his favor, so he must jump out and find the right opportunity.At this time, the soldiers in his hands were only [-] soldiers.In addition, there are nearly [-] captives to be guarded, and a large pile of food, grass and property in Jiaozhou Prefecture. If you don't get rid of these, how can you fight Hou Zongwu?

He immediately ordered to send [-] soldiers and heavy soldiers to escort [-] captives and food and property back to Lingshanwei.He took [-] soldiers, and all the firearms, artillery, gunpowder, etc. to face Hou Zongwu's army, and the Jiaozhou government had to give up temporarily.

Li Jianguo's decision is wise. If he is really trapped in Jiaozhou and fights recklessly with Hou Zongwu, he may really lose his life in Jiaozhou.

Because the intelligence of the scouts was wrong, Hou Zongwu was not the only Ming army coming to Jiaozhou at this time. A Ming army secretly coming from Laizhou was only seventy miles away from Jiaozhou. If Li Jianguo did not leave Jiaozhou, it would be a day at most , he will be surrounded by two armies in Jiaozhou City.

Because Hou Zongwu has accelerated his marching speed, he can rush to Jiaozhou within a day.This is what he negotiated with Wu Sangui, a guerrilla from another army. Li Jianguo must not be allowed to retreat to Lingshanwei, because it will be difficult to fight.

Although Wu Sangui was just a guerrilla at this time, he brought a lot of soldiers, a total of [-] elite soldiers, with twenty Franco machine guns, and a musket battalion. In terms of firepower, it was only better than Li Kaiguo's. The Lingshan Guards are stronger, but not worse than the Lingshan Guards.

It's all because he has an old man who is the commander in chief. This time, it was Wen Tiren who privately promised Zu Dashou a benefit of 300 million taels of salary, which would be honored as soon as Li Jianguo died.

In order to get Ning Yuan's salary smoothly, Zu Dashou doesn't mind helping Wen Tiren, isn't it just to suppress a refugee army?For the Ming army in Ningyuan, fighting is commonplace.

And Zu Dashou sent Wu Sangui and his son, who had recently joined him, to handle the matter.Because Wu Xiang is the commander in chief, he is not easy to move, and Wu Sangui was only 21 years old at the time, just a guerrilla, he came quietly, the court would not pay attention.But in order to be safe, Wu Xiang still brought all the elite soldiers under his command and the firearms battalion of 2000 people to Wu Sangui, in order to win in one battle.

Li Jianguo didn't know this yet. He focused all his attention on Hou Zongwu's [-] troops, but he didn't know that Wu Sangui's [-] elite soldiers were the most terrifying.Those [-] elite soldiers are veterans who have experienced many battles, and they are not the same as Hou Zongwu's [-] mob.

A day later, the armies of Hou Zongwu and Wu Sangui arrived at Jiaozhou Prefecture at the same time. Only then did the scout find out that there were two armies, and then hurriedly reported to Li Jianguo who was lurking in Erlong Mountain. After Li Jianguo learned the truth, , Breaking out in a cold sweat, if he was really surrounded, although he could escape, he would probably lose all his family property, with nothing left.

The imperial court really thinks highly of him, to be so ruthless, Li Jianguo's eyes are murderous, and his heart is full of anger.But he didn't know that this was just a private soldier called by Wen Tiren in private.

What should we do now?Do you want to retreat to the Lingshan Guard?Li Jianguo was in a dilemma. It was conceivable that Hou and Wu would join forces, and they would definitely not be able to fight head-on.Not to mention that he has firearms, the Ming army also has them, not only have them, but also have more guns than him.

Then don't blame me for being cruel.Li Jianguo made up his mind that he wanted to eat the army of Hou Wu.Since the one-on-two fight is now the top priority, we have to find a way to divide their army. Only by mobilizing the army of Hou and Wu can Li Jianguo find a chance to defeat them one by one.

It should not be too late, otherwise, after two days, Hou Wu's army will march to the Lingshan Weibao.Li Kaiguo immediately ordered that the whole army set off overnight to Zhucheng.

Just half a day after he set off, Hou and Wu who were in Jiaozhou received a letter sent by Li Jianguo to shoot into the city.

The letter is very simple, to the effect: I heard that there are refugees in Qingzhou who are in chaos. Japan can drive him to Jiangsu, and Li Guo should encircle and suppress him afterwards.The two masters Hou and Wu have many generals, and they should also send troops to support them, so as to live up to the imperial court's kindness in raising soldiers...

Seeing this letter, both Hou and Wu's faces turned blue.They were furious for not surrounding Li Jianguo in Jiaozhou, and they were planning to go to Lingshanwei the next day.Unexpectedly, Li Jianguo actually told them that he would not play with you anymore, and that he would fight all the way to Jiangsu.

Is this okay?If Li Jianguo really fled from Shandong to Jiangsu, I'm afraid that the fire will no longer be contained in the paper.Jiangsu has always been an important place for taxation, food and grass. More than half of the taxes and food in the Ming Dynasty are all borne by Jiangsu. If Jiangsu is really killed by Li Jianguo and his people, it will shake the world. This is a major event that shakes the foundation of the capital. .

Regardless of whether Li Kaiguo will be wiped out by the Jiangsu Zhenbing in the end, according to Emperor Chongzhen's temperament, I am afraid that a large number of officials will die in Shandong's officialdom and court.

This thing must not be allowed to happen.Hou and Wu looked at each other, and they both saw the murderous look in each other's eyes. They wanted to raise troops immediately to hunt down and kill Li Jianguo.

But Hou Zongwu is a lot more seasoned. Although he looked down on the refugee army, he would not underestimate Li Jianguo. When the killing intent at the beginning dissipated, he immediately felt that something was wrong.He took Li Kaiguo's letter and read it over and over again, as if there was a beautiful woman's gold in it.

Wu Sangui is young and energetic at this time, and whether he can complete this task is related to whether his father and son can gain a firm foothold with Zu Dashou.After all, their father and son had just taken refuge, and they just needed to prove the strength of their father and son. If a small group of vagrants couldn't handle it, what would Zu Dashou think of him and his son?

Therefore, he was much more anxious than Hou Zongwu. Seeing Hou Zongwu kept reading Li Ni's letter, but did not propose how to deal with it, he finally couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, the general thought that our army should set off overnight. Be sure to kill Li Ni before entering the territory of Jiangsu. Otherwise, I am afraid that Lord Shoufu will..."

When he said this, he kept silent, but Hou Zongwu couldn't understand the meaning of his words. At this moment, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "What you said is very true. It is only in the hands of this general. There are [-] elite soldiers, and the remaining [-] people are all newly recruited civilians. These civilians may be able to fight siege warfare. If they pursue Li Ni, the army will be dragged down before the thieves catch up. gone."
