The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The next morning, the fleet arrived at Donghai fort.

However, at this time, the Donghai fort has become a ruin, and there are traces left by the fire. The fishing village, which was once familiar with, has long been gone.

Li Yuanqing quickly sent people off the ship to check. Soon, Yang Xiaobo brought back the news that there was no living creature here.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but let out a breath. At this time, it was only February 13, when the military front of Houjin had arrived here? Guangning city

Guan Canghai said in a low voice: "my Lord, maybe this is not the case in Guangning city. After all, Guangning city is high and thick with walls, and there are strong soldiers guarding it. Maybe, we can stick to it for some time

Li Yuanqing nodded.

Guan Canghai's words are reasonable, but with sun Degong, a rogue, the situation is really not good.

"Canghai, if we want to go further north, we must get more accurate information."

Guan Canghai nodded, "my Lord, this is the control place of later Jin Dynasty. We must be more careful."

Li Yuanqing vomited a long breath of turbid gas and nodded his head.

……

In the evening, the fleet arrived in the hinterland of western Liaoning and passed through the valley where Mao Wenlong was training. Unfortunately, the surrounding villages and fishing villages were slaughtered, and there was no living. Li Yuanqing's sentries and pirates did not get much information.

After dinner, Li Yuanqing called his officers for a short meeting. Yang Xiaobo and Huang Guoshan, as reserve officers, also participated in the meeting.

After several battles of attrition, Li Yuanqing realized the importance of officers more effectively. In this kind of employment, there was no other good way. Only Li Yuanqing took the lead and investigated and promoted new talents with ability or plasticity from the actual combat.

The topic of this meeting is very simple.

Now, the headquarters of Li Yuanqing must get the latest and correct progress of the western Liaoning war in the shortest time, so as to make more targeted decisions.

And this method is also very simple, looking for the nearest official road to the sea, just like the last attack on the post station, to strive for ambush in a certain advantageous place and seize the tongue of several Houjin.

The issue was soon passed, and the sentinel Scouts of various ministries, like fishing nets, quickly spread out.

Originally, Li Yuanqing was familiar with the terrain here. He knew that the nearest official road was within two or three miles of the coast. However, it was the official road leading to the seaside, not the main official road. Naturally, this kind of net spreading should be more stable and analyzed with actual data.

A few hours later, before midnight, all kinds of sentries came back.

They have determined two official roads, both of which are north-south longitudinal, and the auxiliary roads leading from Liaoxi to Liaoxi corridor.

Li Yuanqing made a decision. The team was divided into two groups, with 100 people in one group. The first group, led by Li Yuanqing himself, went to the official road near the sea to set up an ambush. The second group, led by guancanghai, led by Duan Xiliang and Wang Hai, took the elite of each department and went to the official road to set up an ambush a little further away.

Two days later, no matter whether there is harvest or not, it is necessary to return to the fleet as soon as possible.

Soon, carried by several boats, two 200 soldiers poured into the darkness of the land.

Li Yuanqing took shunzi, Xu Heizi, Huang Guoshan and Yang Xiaobo with familiar faces.

The official road that Li Yuanqing was going to lay an ambush was very close to the sea. It was three miles away from the sea. The road was very easy to walk. It didn't take long for Li Yuanqing to go to the valley where Mao Wenlong was training his troops.

The party soon headed for the valley. Unfortunately, Li Yuanqing was a little disappointed when he arrived. The traces of nature had covered many of them. Except for the snow, there was no familiar sight in the valley.

After a short stay, the party went around the valley and arrived at the official road.

It is said to be the official road, but in fact, it is only the auxiliary road in the direction of Guangning city and youtun. It is the village and town on both sides of the official road, and the road leading to youtun direction, not the main official road.

Like the provincial and county roads of later generations, they can also pass through, but they are not expressways.

After inspecting the terrain, Li Yuanqing decided to lay ambush on the official road behind the valley.

With the experience of the last attack on the post station, how dare Li Yuanqing be careless again?

This side behind the valley is just a gentle slope of the road. On both sides are hills like hills. The vegetation is very dense and there is a large space for operation. It is very convenient to retreat.

In case of encountering the Tartars' brigade, Li Yuanqing can also quickly retreat into the forest, escape from the valley to the sea.

At this time, before dawn, Li Yuanqing immediately directed the soldiers to work.

Xu Heizi is an expert in this field, and he is responsible for making plans for ambush.

After inspecting Li Yuanqing carefully, Xu Heizi explained to Li Yuanqing: "my Lord, the terrain here is very good, but today's time is too short. If we make too much efforts to the official way, we will not have enough time. We can set up some hiding places on both sides of the official road. If there are large stocks of Tartars, we will let them go. If we are small stocks, we can use a stumbling block. "Li Yuanqing nodded, "it's OK. We have plenty of time. Don't worry

Soon, the scheme was carried out.

At the edge of the forest on both sides of the official road, the soldiers dug several trenches, piled up several earth walls, and covered them with branches and leaves. In addition, there was a thick snow layer all around. From the official road, it was impossible to detect the abnormality on both sides. However, the soldiers could stay in the trench to rest and keep warm.

In this state, of course, no fire or hot water can be made. But this time, Li Yuanqing had been prepared. The dry food was dry cakes, and he could eat pickles. He had a trench to hide himself from the strong wind. In addition, spring was about to begin, and there was some temperature under the soil layer, which was much more comfortable than that in the heavy snow in the post station.

Unfortunately, one morning, no one passed by, and the soldiers were worried.

Li Yuanqing is very patient. If Guangning city has not been broken, the main force of the later Jin army must be in the periphery of Guangning city. Even if Guangning city has been destroyed, the main force of old slaves is very likely. In Guangning City area, after all, they need time to digest this huge city.

In this way, in the surrounding areas, it can only be scattered troops. These people, once they have won the battle, will certainly inform the direction of Guangning. As long as they are patient, they will have a chance.

But the afternoon was almost over, and there was still no one walking through the official road, which was like a dead land. Shunzi could not help but whisper: "brother, can the Tartars have gone to fight Liaoxi? They won't go this way in a few days? "

Li Yuanqing frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and quickly denied shunzi's judgment.

The reason why the old slave made great efforts to win Guangning city was that the position of Guangning city was too important.

At this time, the Mongolian tribes did not completely submit to the later Jin Dynasty. Most of the tribes were still afraid of the heavenly power of the Ming Dynasty and recognized the Daming as orthodox. Only the Horqin tribe, which had the earliest contact with the latter Jin Dynasty and had many in laws, was the firm ally of the latter Jin Dynasty.

But the Horqin tribe at this time was only a small tribe. Compared with the descendants of Genghis Khan's gold family, it did not contain much gold at all.

If Guangning was still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, it would be like a sharp knife, always in the heart of an old slave. How dare he fight against Mongolia?

The Liaoxi corridor is the inherent strength range of guanning army. If the old slaves want to fight and are so close to Shanhaiguan, the court will not be indifferent and reinforcements will be sent.

Although the old slave is arrogant, I'm afraid he may not dare to touch Daming's bottom line at this time. Daming is still a powerful giant after all.

"It should not be possible. Be patient. Let's wait

Looking at Li Yuanqing's calm appearance, shunzi had to put his temper back and put the handle in his hand with boredom.

Just about to prepare for dinner, however, the soldiers looking out from the trees came news. In the south, most of them, about several thousand people, appeared.

The crowd was suddenly nervous.

A tartar with thousands of people?

Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect, and urged the soldiers to pay attention to concealment. He himself, too, climbed up a branch of a tree to investigate the movement in the distance.

At this time, the sun has set in the west, the direction of the sea, sunset reflected color, although the weather is very cold, but the whole world, are spread in a warm tone.

Soon, the leader of this huge team has also appeared in the field of vision.

To Li Yuanqing's surprise, there were only five or six cavalry in front.

Shunzi's eyes were sharp. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "brother, brother, the situation is not right. It seems that this is not the majority of Tartars, but the people of Daming. "

With the approaching of the team, Li Yuanqing also found some abnormalities. This may be a team of thousands of people, but only five or six people ride horses in front of them. The rest of them are walking. The more they go, the more clearly Li Yuanqing can see. The team is actually some old and weak women and children. They are crying as they walk. Where is the tartar army?

"Brother, what's the situation?" Shunzi was also flustered.

How can we see a large army of refugees here?

Li Yuanqing was vaguely excited. He had already guessed that these refugees might be the booty of the post Jin army, but he did not know how many guards there were in this group.

If less than 100 people, then Li Yuanqing will have a great opportunity.

"Go, send someone to inform the fleet, all young and strong, all ready to land." Li Yuanqing hurriedly gave an order to a close soldier.

"Yes." The relatives and soldiers dare not neglect, so they should be careful to slide down from the tree and send orders.

Li Yuanqing said again, "wait a minute. Send a message to Guan Canghai and ask them to come as soon as possible. "

"Yes." The soldiers left in a hurry.

At this time, the soldiers who were looking for information in front of him also rushed over and reported in a low voice, "my Lord, there are only less than ten people in the front team of Tartars, there is only one real slave, and the rest are traitors of the Han Army flag."
