As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

His mood went from anger to depression in just three rounds.

That's right, there were three identical rounds, namely: when it seemed that they were about to catch up with Xishanwei, who was not good at equestrianism, suddenly one of his team would be caught in a trap somewhere and the formation would be blown into chaos, and then the opponent would turn back and fight Bo salvo, and then leave a place of corpses to evacuate.

"Mr. Qian, are you still chasing me?"

It has to be said that these three rounds not only created a huge psychological shadow for this thousand households, but also lost the morale of the entire cavalry team, so that the hundred households who came to ask for orders were a little bit emboldened.

"Chasing? How can you chase after him!" The thousand households suddenly became exasperated: "Catch up and get beaten?"

Baihu said awkwardly: "Then... Then stop chasing?"

"..." Qianhu was speechless for a while, and then became even more frustrated: "The six thousand cavalry can't do anything to the opponent's two thousand. If they don't kill them, where will I put my face?"

Baihu opened his mouth: "Then...then, should we chase after..."

Whether to chase or not is a problem. This is the most disgusting part of kite fighting.

This kind of style of play that wants to break through the flowers is actually very simple. It is nothing more than higher mobility and longer range, or it is too large for the opponent to fly a kite or the terrain is impossible to fly a kite. , the Liaodong Army could not meet any of the conditions.

and so……

"Get out of the way, let those savages chase after you!" Qianhu ordered after thinking for a while.

Manzi refers to the Jurchen tribe that joined them before, and it was precisely because the Jurchen tribe was behind that Qianhu fought for three rounds unrelentingly—who wants to lose face in front of this group of aliens?

But the fact is that the Liaodong Army has really lost face to grandma's house at this moment, so no matter whether it is adhering to the idea that a dead friend will not die a poor man or adhering to the idea that I will not make it easy for the friendly army, this Qianhu intends to Let the Jurchen also go up and send a few waves of death.

however……

"Huh? They haven't given up yet?" Zhao Ren smiled happily, "Oh, look, look, the Jurchens are catching up!"

Hua Manlou glanced back and said with a sneer, "It's time for them to pay off the debt."

These words have two meanings, one is naturally the debts of the former Jurchen Ministry who burned, killed and looted around the capital, and the other...

I understand everything I understand.

Zhao Ren slammed his mouth: "You... why are you so murderous?"

"Guess." After Hua Manlou dropped two words, he took the lead and rushed out, leading the cavalry towards the predetermined location.

……

"Mr. Qian, you see... there will be no problem, right?"

After the three cavalry teams ran for a full eight miles, the Liaodong Army leading the troops at the end felt that something was wrong.

In fact, not only him, but all the Liaodong Army who held their breath and wanted to see the jokes of the Jurchens felt that something was wrong. After all, Hua Manlou ran for two or three miles in the first three rounds and gave them a wave of ruthlessness. But now it's eight miles away, and Xishanwei still hasn't responded at all, this...

Qianhu, who led the soldiers, heard the words: "I know there is a problem, but what kind of problem do you think there is?"

"This..." Baihu was confused.

People will have all kinds of fluke psychology and gambling psychology, so although Baihu rationally thinks that there may be a big hole ahead, Xishanwei has not made a move for a long time, which makes him think differently, for example: Xu is Huamanlou is out of ammo?

This is not impossible. After all, Xishanwei had already launched a surprise attack at the north gate in the morning, so it is normal to be out of ammunition at this moment.

But...

Based on Huamanlou's prestige in Dazhao, and the fact that the Liaodong Army has no temper after being tossed by Xishanwei these days, no one dares to bet whether Huamanlou will play some new tricks—maybe he just left the camp At that time, Qianhu didn't pay much attention to Xishanwei, but after three rounds, he no longer had the slightest idea of ​​arrogance.

"I can't chase anymore." Qianhu gritted his teeth and looked at the Jurchens in front of him and said, "Call them back."

Baihu looked ahead, and then at Qianhu, with an innocent look on his face.

Qianhu was dissatisfied and said: "What's the matter, call someone, are you stupid?"

Baihu nana said: "Mr. Qian, those savages...can you understand us?"

Qianhu was taken aback for a moment, and then a black thread appeared: It was hard enough to communicate with these Jurchens when the two sides switched positions just now, so how can these people understand that Huamanlou may have dug a place in front of them in this short period of time? Big pit?

Seeing the depressed look on the officer's face, Baihu suggested, "How about... shouting twice?"

Qianhu nodded, glanced forward, and suddenly there was another black line: "Hurry up, catch up!"

It has to be said that although the two sides are friendly forces, they also opened a distance of hundreds of feet one after the other during the coordinated battle, and because the two men had doubts, the speed of the Liaodong Army slowed down, but the Jurchens in front were still there. The non-stop pursuit of Xishanwei made the distance between the two armies even further.

And the most terrible thing is that the front is just a valley.

"Hurry up, catch up!" Qianhu patted his horse forward desperately, shouting while beating, hoping that the Jurchen department in front would react, but separated by hundreds of meters, no matter how loud a human voice was, it was impossible to reach that far. Far away?

After chasing after Baizhang, Qianhu saw that the Jurchen had probably chased into the valley, and then...

Boom boom boom!

There were bursts of explosions that shook the sky, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains.

This movement is not like the explosion of Purdue when the Liaodong Army encountered a trap in the past, but it was really deafening, and before the smoke covered the valley, Qianhu saw that the mountains on both sides of the valley collapsed...

The Liaodong Army stopped at the same time, comforting the restless horses, while looking at the other side of the valley in panic, at a loss.

After a while, the hundred households swallowed nervously: "Mr. Qian...Mr. Qian, do you want to chase after...to see?"

The thousand households stared blankly ahead, and after a while, they turned their heads to look at the hundred households in a daze: "Is there any need?"

Others may not have seen it clearly, but Qianhu saw it: Before the smoke and dust covered the entire valley, there seemed to be a dozen airships hovering in the sky on the other side of the valley.

Therefore, on the whole, the bombing of the mountain was just to cut off the retreat of the Jurchen Ministry. When Xishanwei reached the other end, he would completely disperse the formation and block the Taniguchi with firepower. It is impossible for the Jurchens in the valley to be alive.

Boom boom boom!

As if to confirm Qianhu's conjecture, there were bursts of explosions in the valley, and the screams, screams, and neighing of war horses could be vaguely heard...

Qianhu shivered for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Withdraw! Withdraw to the camp!"

567. My father wants to be cold

The Liaodong Army ran away, but the battle was still not over.

In fact, even Hua Manlou didn't expect that his fishing operation could really catch such a big fish—as early as the planning stage, Hua Manlou thought that he would need to engage in the Liaodong Army's mentality to attract people to this valley Lilai, I never thought that because of the mentality of a certain thousand households that "dead friends will never die poor people", he would be able to succeed in the first battle, and it would be a bit unreal to go smoothly.

The trap in the valley was completed when the north gate was attacked, and the Kinov airships overhead were actually on standby nearby. For this reason, Hua Manlou didn't even think about using them to go to the east gate or south gate to stimulate people's mentality, in order to be able to Cover the caught fish.

That's right, overlay.

The sky-filled Purdue could almost flatten the entire valley, and the Jurchen Department, which stretched the front line, suffered heavy losses almost instantly, and only cared about crying for their parents and running around.Occasionally, someone who wanted to rush up the mountain saw a bottle of kerosene falling from the sky, igniting the dead branches and leaves on the mountain almost instantly and blocking the way, so the last life...

Only the front remains.

Those who escaped out of the valley by chance just looked up and felt that they had no luck today: Xishanwei had already lined up, holding firecrackers and waiting for them to come out.

Half an hour later, all the Xishan Guards withdrew, leaving only one Abi Hell.

Another half an hour later, Yao Zijie, who came to support himself with three thousand cavalry, was so angry that he almost fell off his horse when he saw the situation in front of him: the three thousand Jurchen cavalry were all gone.

He worked so hard on wooing and acting, and in order to gain the friendship of the Jurchen Ministry, he secretly did a lot of dirty things and paid a lot of money. As a result...

Is this gone?

After Yao Zijie got angry, he suddenly felt powerless. He stared blankly at the direction where the sun was setting, and murmured: "After so many years of hard work, concentrating on management and enduring humiliation, at the end of the day, I am no match for a single blow." ...My lord, when you made your plans in the past, did you ever think that you might...fall short of success?"

The lieutenant standing in the distance didn't hear his murmur clearly, thinking that Yao Zijie wanted to order something, so he stepped forward and asked cautiously, "General, and... let's go back to the camp first?"

Yao Zijie pursed his lips, glanced at the still smoky valley, and said after a while: "Go back, go back, if you don't go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back..."

"Can't we go back?" The deputy general looked at the direction Yao Zijie was looking at blankly, confused.

Judging from the current situation, Xishanwei must have withdrawn, and there are no other combat forces around the capital...

So, why did the general say he couldn't go back?

He looked blankly and saw that Yao Zijie had no intention of explaining, so the lieutenant general didn't ask any more questions, and just sent an order to return to the camp.

But Yao Zijie still stood there without moving, his expression was uncertain, he didn't know what he was thinking, after a long time, when everyone got on his horse and waited, he got on his horse and said, "Go back!"

……

Early the next morning, when Hua Manlou had just got up to eat breakfast, the scout company suddenly came to report: "Uncle, the Liaodong Army has retreated!"

"……what?"

"The Liaodong army withdrew overnight. When we found out, they were already thirty miles away."

Huamanlou bit the bun, looked at the young soldier who came to report the letter with a dazed expression, swallowed half of the bun whole with a gulp, and rolled his eyes even if he was so choked that he didn't even bother to drink some water, but Shun Shun He stood up and ran to the Xishanwei Conference Hall: "Call someone, let's have a meeting!"

Almost instantly, Hua Manlou realized how painful the situation was: as long as the Liaodong Army's rebellious army survived for a day, don't let the capital focus on Lanzhou Prefecture.

Why?

It's very simple. For the group of elders in the capital, the alliance between Tumote and King Yiduan is still far away, but the Liaodong Army has just surrounded the capital. What should I do if I come around again?

And in fact, if Huamanlou's relatives were not in Lanzhou Mansion, Hua Manlou himself would subconsciously feel that it would be better to deal with the Liaodong Army first, even though it is impossible for the Liaodong Army to capture the capital. To be broken, blood must flow thousands of miles away—the position determines the angle of view of the problem, which is why some people are always criticized as brain-dead when making decisions.

Therefore, Yao Zijie seemed to be defeated in despair, but in fact he made a good move: firstly, he could not help Xishanwei, and suffered heavy losses in a few rounds. At this time, he continued to besiege the capital with Xishanwei's powerful firepower It’s like digging one’s own grave; secondly, the loss of defense is always less than that of attacking, and it will take longer to retreat to a certain city or Shanhaiguan; thirdly, it’s almost time for the nearby reinforcements to arrive. To add, Yao Zijie didn't think he could beat it.

So even though Yao Zijie was defeated, he did not lose from a strategic point of view.

"This person can be called decisive. If he doesn't make mistakes, he will be worthy of the name of a famous general."

In the meeting hall of Xishanwei, Wen Liang gave her evaluation of Yao Zijie.

Hua Manlou said speechlessly, "Where are you from? Is now the time to talk about him?"

Although his heart was a little sour, Hua Manlou knew that Wen Liang's evaluation was very accurate. After all, Yao Zijie was a ruthless person who broke up the three camps in one fell swoop, and if Hua Manlou didn't have these weapons that can be called cross-age If it is, I guess I really dare not play tricks with others.

Zhao Ren patted the table: "Then what do you say?"

Hua Manlou rubbed his head, and looked at Zhao Ren with a headache, but before he could say anything, Zhao Ren said first: "Let's say it first, I won't go back to the capital!"

"Can I let you?" Hua Manlou snorted coldly, but didn't say much, but turned his attention to the map.

Although Xishanwei's mobile power is strong, using 3000 to [-] people from Xishanwei to chase the more than [-] Liaodong Army is tantamount to a dream—not to mention the supply of ammunition, food and grass alone are a problem.In peacetime, food and grass can be mobilized from all over the road, but now...

No matter how stupid Yao Zijie was, he would rob the state capital along the way when he was evacuating.

Moreover, there are too many places where an ambush can be set up along the way. Once Xishanwei catches up and accidentally encounters an ambush, the Liaodong Army can kill Xishanwei with a large number of people. After losing Xishanwei, the Liaodong Army In the invincible hands of the capital, it is estimated that he will fight back soon.

So now Huamanlou is not chasing after him, nor is it not chasing after him.

Besides...

After the siege of the capital was resolved, he had to go to the palace no matter what—just not to mention dealing with the Liaodong Army or Tumed first, he had to get the military power first, right?Otherwise, the group of experts in internal fighting in Beijing will use civilized military to control military, send a civil servant who doesn't understand the shit to restrain the military general, and then trick a eunuch to be the supervisor of the army...

Father wants to be cold.

And just when Hua Manlou was planning to go back to Beijing, someone suddenly came to report: "Uncle, the Tianjin Navy has arrived!"

568 Shut up!

"Your Majesty, the Liaodong Army has retreated!"

Not long after the morning court started, Duke Ying suddenly entered the palace when a group of courtiers were discussing how to retreat from the enemy, bringing this shocking news.

In an instant, a needle could be heard in the hall, and the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

In fact, since the Liaodong Army besieged the city, the court meeting has not been interrupted in the past few days, and the quarrel has been exhilarating, but the point of the quarrel is...

Instead of retreating from the enemy, they are attacking each other.

At first, a censor heard that the Liaodong Army was forced to rebel because of the restructuring, so he opened his mouth and asked Emperor Guangxing to punish Huamanlou. It seemed that the Liaodong Army retreated after hanging Huamanlou on the top of the city. Yes, I could hear the flesh on the face of a certain elder twitching.

And after Emperor Guangxing shouted him back, someone stood up and attacked Ying Guogong grandly, saying that he should be fully responsible for the three major battalions being broken up overnight, and he should kill himself to thank the world—the chief officer of the three major battalions It was Ying Guogong, Rong Guogong, and Ning Guogong. Rong Guogong was still presiding over the reform at the moment, and Ning Guogong was still eating Liuwei Dihuang Wan on the Qinhuai River, so all the firepower was aimed at the unlucky Ying Guogong.

Emperor Guangxing scolded him again, and handed over the Wucheng soldiers and horses to Ying Guogong to protect the capital to show his confidence in employing people, but before setting the tone for retreating the enemy, someone asked the Wucheng soldiers Ma Si went out of the city to fight the Liaodong Army to the death, regardless of the difference in combat power between the two sides, and the gray and blue faces of the old commanders of the Wucheng Army Ma Si...

It was hard to suppress this matter, and some people began to abuse the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War for employing improper personnel, and even the chief assistant of the dynasty Zeng Ge was scolded, because the governor of Liaodong was recommended by Zeng Ge, and when this happened, he It's hard to escape the blame.

The court is still the same court, with insiders fighting inside and outside fighting outsiders, making it the same as the Bangzi Kingdom in Huamanlou's previous Wanli Dynasty. Renfengcheng Hideyoshi brought people ashore, and these people are still arguing about the future of Wa Kingdom If you won't call, it's outrageous.

On the second day of the siege, when a small reconnaissance balloon sent the news and plans received by Xishanwei to the palace, Emperor Guangxing had confidence in his heart, so the court meeting was opened, but in his mood...

Generally speaking, it looks like watching monkeys. Emperor Guangxing sat on the throne and watched the group of people performing to their heart's content.

Great Zhao Chengping has been there for too long, so long that everyone has forgotten some important things, and so long that the entire court is depressed.The ten or so years of concentrating on management after he ascended the throne almost exhausted Emperor Guangxing's energy, but the court is still the same.

Outside the capital, his son and adopted son are working hard to restore the situation, working hard for the coming storm, but inside the capital, the princes of the capital are talking loudly, and they have not been able to come up with a decision for five days. He was still arguing over who should take the blame for this matter.

Such a court...

Emperor Guangxing suddenly understood that whether it is benevolent government or tax cuts, as long as these people are still in the court, his prosperity will only be short-lived.
