Blood from Daming

Chapter 583 "Burning"

Zhao Guozuo's own cattle record, there are about 70 people who can stand up. Zhao Guozuo knows that his cattle record is over, and he may not be able to recover within three or two years. Zhao Guozuo now regrets his impulse very much. For the sake of so-called vanity, put I and the entire cattle tape are on the verge of perishing.

But self-esteem and Yue Tuo's strict military law made Zhao Guozuo dare not take a step back. If Zhao Guozuo retreated, let alone Yue Tuo would not let him go, even the other Niulu soldiers behind him would not let him go. I believe Zhao Guozuo has not left the Yalu River. If there is no river, they will be killed by those who think that Zhao Guozuo dragged them to a dead end.

But this Zhao Guozuo is very miraculous, all the Jianlu around him were injured if they didn't die, but he himself was unscathed until now, which made Zhao Guozuo wonder if he had the help of the gods, which made Zhao Guozuo full of courage, and he finally leaned on The wall of the battleship "Yangtze River" of Xue Jiajun.

Zhao Guozuo ignited the incendiary that he carried with him in an attempt to burn down Xue Jiajun's "Changjiang" warship, but Zhao Guozuo couldn't find a place to do his work, and there was no way to burn the "Changjiang" warship. Turning around there, lying on the wall of the ship in desperation and stabbing randomly with a knife.

Then more than a dozen Tartar soldiers leaned against the wall of the "Yangtze River" battleship, but the water here was already very deep, and the shorter Tartar soldiers were already floating, touching the "Yangtze River" The walls of the battleship were useless at all, and Zhao Guozuo's sword was missing, but only a few marks were left on the walls of the ship. It seems that if you want to burn the ship, you need to find the right place.

"哗哗哗" buckets of kerosene were poured from the battleship. In just a while, more than 40 barrels were dropped, and the entire river surface at the bottom of the ship was filled with kerosene. It ignited, and more than 30 Tartars including Zhao Guozuo were surrounded by the fire.

Zhao Guozuo and more than 30 tartars were roasted by the flowing fire, and they all became roast suckling pigs. The so-called quickness makes people wise, and these tartars are not fools. However, the battleship "Yangtze River" continued to pour kerosene, which made the flowing fire continue to burn.

However, Zhao Guozuo and the Tartars, who couldn't hold their breath, floated out of the river, and the raging fire burned next to their bodies. These Tartars hurriedly continued diving, but the Tartars couldn't breathe in the water, so they had to float to the surface of the river again. , Repeated this several times, the burning kerosene gradually became smaller, but the group of Tartars were burnt, including from head to face, all covered with big sparkling blisters.

Zhao Guozuo had been busy for a while, barely standing still at home, touching the big blisters all over his face, it was painful and itchy, and he didn't dare to scratch it. Needless to say, he opened his red and swollen squinting eyes , Only to find that many Jurchen soldiers retreated towards the bank along the flowing fire.

At this moment, the bullhorn to withdraw troops was blown in the distance. Zhao Guozuo knew that it was Yue Tuo, the banner leader, who ordered the withdrawal of troops. Now Zhao Guozuo was so angry that he almost lost his breath. Now there are only five or sixty people left for himself. , all of them were wounded and disabled, and now Zhao Guozuo even wanted to die.

Zhao Guozuo, who was already somewhat exhausted, also began to walk towards the shore with difficulty, but he cursed in his heart why the inlaid red flag would fall into the hands of a silly big hat like Yue Tuo, and he was tossed like this. At that time, Zhao Guozuo only knew victory, victory, or victory.

In fact, Zhao Guozuo was wrong, not because Yue Tuo was incapable, but because the Xue family army was too tough, even if Daishan came in person, it would be nothing. I felt my body tremble twice, and I felt the strength in this body was continuously discharged to the outside. Zhao Guozuo knew that he must have been shot. He turned around with all his strength, and suddenly his face was hit hard. Zhao Guozuo But the memory became blurred, and he slipped and sank to the bottom of the Yalu River.

Yue Tuo sent 3000 troops to attack the "Yangtze River" warship of the Xuejia Army Navy, and lost more than 1000 corpses in the Yalu River. The more than 1000 people who returned to Yue Tuo were all wounded, which made Yue Tuo feel that he was losing face and face. , Thinking of Amin's mocking appearance, Yue Tuo was ashamed, wishing to find a crack in the ground and get in.

After this battle to seize the ship, Yue Tuo lost more than 1000 soldiers in vain, and couldn't get the support of A Min, so he could only stand in a stalemate outside the range of Xue's army's naval artillery, reporting the military situation to Huang Taiji in Shenyang. Asking for help from his father Daishan, Yue Tuo maintained a temporary peace with the Xue family army and the North Korean army.

After three days of hard work, the Xue family's army finally allowed the "Yangtze River" battleship with an empty cabin to slide into the deep water area of ​​the Yalu River. A warship stranding incident was finally resolved. The North Sea Fleet led by Xue Jiajun came to the riverside of Yizhou City.

This time, the North Sea Fleet of the Xue Family Army led by Wen Lao Er had [-] warships, and escorted the Xue Family and Mancijia Kingdom's [-] sea ships, which filled the entire center of the Yalu River at once, scaring A Min and Yue Tuo. With a big jump, Shuangshuang retreated five li to the west to set up camp, lest Xue's army should overwhelm, and Hou Jin's men would not have time to prepare for the battle.

It wasn't until June [-]th that Daishan and Shuotuo led Zhenghongqi troops to arrive and set up a company camp together with Amin and Yuetuo. Yuetuo felt a little relieved. The camp rested, without the slightest intention of angering the Xue family army, and the two sides still fell into a confrontational situation of no war and no peace.

The second Wen was on the three-masted battleship "Taishan". This time, he was ordered by his mother, Mrs. Yan, to come to Yizhou City to change defenses. A batch of gunpowder, grenades, explosive kits, and more than 100 new fire systems were brought to supplement Xue's army and navy.

This time the fleet of the Xue family and Mancijia was in charge of transporting back the supplies that Zuo Ming seized near Niumao Village and Phoenix City. These supplies included more than 6000 cattle, sheep, mules and horses, more than 8 furs, and more than 300 catties. Liao ginseng, 10 taels of gold and silver, and nearly 4 Jurchen, Mongolian, and Liao people women. It took three days for the fleet to load 300 cattle, sheep, mules and horses, more than 10 fur, more than 2000 catties of Liao ginseng, and [-] gold and silver. The second class and [-] Mongolian and Liao women were placed on board.

Escorted by the Second Fleet of the Navy led by Wu Yang, who has fought the longest battle, they returned to Changtu Island in the south of the Ming Dynasty. As for the remaining 6000 cattle, sheep, mules and horses, and more than 4 furs, the fourteen-humped camels had to wait for the next time. , The next coming fleet was transported, and a large amount of food, fodder, war horses and more than 700 Jurchen women stayed on the ship and outside Yizhou City.

On June 21, 60 North Korean troops began to arrive in Yizhou City in batches. On the [-]st, they began to increase troops to Bitong, Changcheng, and Manpu. In the Ming Dynasty, there were more than [-] ships in the entire fleet sailing mightily towards the lower reaches of the Yalu River, like a moving Great Wall on the sea. For Jianlu, the fleet of the Xue Family Army was definitely a shock.

According to the situation reported by Lu Yaojin, Yan Sanniang agreed with Lu Yaojin to act cheaply. General Lu Yaojin would lead the headquarters and Zuo Ming's team, as well as the First Fleet of the Navy's Marshal Wu Dahai, the Governor of Tao Yaofu, and the second deputy governor of Wen Lao. The North Sea Fleet assists in the defense of North Korea and the Yalu River on the border of Liaodong.

Marshal Zhang Wan and Deputy Marshal Li Gui, who were seriously ill, negotiated with Lu Yaojin and Zuo Ming after three days. Zhang Wan and Li Gui were really afraid that once Xue's army's ships left, Jin Da's bandits would attack the river. Come, with the strength of the Korean army, it can't stop the attack of Hou Jinda's bandits at all, and the Korean country will fall into the situation of subjugation and genocide.

Starting from the overall situation, Lu Yaojin and Zuo Ming only asked the North Korean side to provide some food and grass. The Xue family’s navy will be on the Yalu River, and has been assisting the North Korean army to fight against the Jianlu’s attack and help the North Korean army to consolidate North Korea’s border defense. The North Korean side fully agreed to Xue’s army’s request. He also expressed his willingness to hand over the command of the North Korean army to Xue Jiajun.

Lu Yaojin is naturally willing to accept the goodwill of the North Korean army. With the command of the North Korean army, it will be easier for the Xue family army to defend the Yalu River. In fact, Lu Yaojin also has a selfish motive. Cattle, sheep and war horses were all over the east coast, and without more than three large-scale sea shipments, it was impossible to transfer them all to Changtu Island. These were all bought by the Xue family army with their blood and lives.

On the night when the Xue Family Army's Second Fleet and the transport fleet left, Wu Dahai's First Fleet captured a Jurchen Tartar, a Tartar named Hargen, who asked to meet the top leader of the Xue Family Army. Arrived at Wu Dahai's flagship "Yangtze River" three-masted warship.

However, after Wu Dahai met Halgen, Halgen learned that Wu Dahai was only the head of the navy, and refused to talk to Wu Dahai. Instead, he asked to meet with General Lu or General Zuo of the Xue family army. Hargen's Jurchens were sent to the Xue Family Army camp on the east bank.

At this time, Lu Yaojin and Zuo Ming were talking at night in the big tent of the Chinese army. According to Lu Yaojin's arrangement, it had become the Zuo Ming Firearms Battalion of the Remnant Army. The right-hand man made a transition for a while before allowing Zuo Ming and his firearms soldiers to stay in North Korea. The next time Changtu Island came to the fleet and reinforcements, Zuo Ming and his men had to do it.

When Lu Yaojin and Zuo Ming saw Haergen, Haergen proposed to them that Amin hoped to return the Jurchen women in the hands of Xue Jiajun. In exchange for soldiers from the Dongjiang Army and the North Korean Army, Halgen said that there were no prisoners from the Dongjiang Army and the North Korean Army in Xianglanqi's hands.

However, Lu Yaojin said that only Zhenghongqi Daishan, Shuotuo, and a small number of soldiers from the Dongjiang Army wanted Amin to get them in exchange for Jurchen women. Haergen told Lu Yaojin that he should get the Dongjiang Army prisoners of Zhenghongqi out. To exchange the Jurchens, not only has to go through the hurdle of Dabeile Daishan, but also be obstructed by Beile Yuetuo. Now Yuetuo is in a state of madness and will never agree to the exchange of captives. It is very unrealistic for Shan to hand over the Dongjiang Army prisoners.
