Guo Dajing and others got closer and closer, no one was injured or killed, and some people were chatting and laughing excitedly.
Cui Xiaoyi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It seems to have been successful. I sent someone to find out the news."
Cui Xiaoyi, Zheng Fengshou and others have some channels to obtain information from the shaved people. Longchuan is not too far away, so it is relatively convenient.
Zhang Pan pondered for a moment and said: "As long as Dajing says it is done, I will report it directly."
Realizing Cui Xiaoyi's gaze, Zhang Pan added: "I believe him." After saying that, he bowed his hand to Cui Xiaoyi and went down to the city to greet the victorious soldiers.
"I have met you, sir." Guo Dajing saw Zhang Pan waiting at the city gate and was a little moved. It was already late at night and he waited for them without rest, so he hurried forward to salute.
Zhang Pan raised his hand and said with a smile: "That's a lot, good. How's the record? Looking at your smiles, you must have achieved something."
Liu Qishi said quickly from the side: "Guo Baihu killed Yue Tuo with one arrow, and the mine killed and injured others, so there is no need to forget it."
Seeing Zhang Pan's questioning look, Guo Dajing bowed and said, "Yue Tuo was shot in the vital part, and the arrow was poisoned. There is a high probability that he will die."
"Okay, I will send someone to report to Marshal Mao immediately." Zhang Pan's reserved expression was completely broken. He let out a sigh of relief and shook his fist violently.
Guo Dajing blinked his eyes and said hesitantly: "How about we wait until we find out more before reporting it? What if -"
"No need." Zhang Pan laughed loudly and patted Guo Dajing's arm hard. "You said that there is a high probability that he will die."
Guo Dajing hesitated for a moment and stopped insisting. In his judgment, Yue Tuan was bound to die. As for a substitute, there was almost no possibility.
On the one hand, Zhang Pan believed in Guo Dajing, but on the other hand, he also believed that reporting it as soon as possible might help the Dongjiang Army obtain more food and supplies.
For the Dongjiang Army, although the number of troops is 28,000, it is actually far from this number.
The imperial court raised troops several times, ranging from 100,000 to 60,000, and finally settled on 28,000. This was just to save money and food as much as possible.
Of course, Mao Wenlong's quotations of 200,000 and 150,000 to 156,000 are also true. They include all the able-bodied Liao people who gathered together.
The Dongjiang Army was different from other Ming armies in that many of them were selected from Shaotou Liao people who had escaped from the Jianlu-controlled areas. Due to the shortage of food and weapons, the number of troops that could be armed was limited.
To put it bluntly, the Dongjiang Army's 28,000 soldiers have weapons and armor, and at least they basically meet the conditions for going to the battlefield.
However, the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang are difficult to distinguish. If there are enough money, food and equipment, it is possible to organize tens of thousands of people from the Liao people on each island.
In the eyes of the court officials, the Liao people in Dongjiang were starving and exhausted and did not meet the requirements of soldiers at all.
But in Mao Wenlong's view, these Liao people had gone through life and death before escaping from the Jianlu-controlled areas. They were not afraid of hardship and hardship, could endure hunger and cold, and were even smart-minded.
If the imperial court can provide sufficient food, pay, and distribute enough weapons and equipment, these Liao people who are full of hatred for the Jianlu will become an army that makes the Jianlu fearful.
It's a pity that the princes in the court couldn't see this, and couldn't see the huge power behind Mao Wenlong's desperate efforts to gather the people who fled back to the Liao Dynasty.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen was not good at other things, but he had a rare wise view of the Dongjiang Army. He commented: "The Liao people took refuge on the islands, worked for the people with hoes, and became soldiers after receiving armor. It was difficult to compete with the people in the mainland.
The fundraising rates are the same.”
Because of this, Zhang Pan was eager to repay his credit. Not only did he say that he killed such and such Baylor, but also the prisoners who were killed under Longgu Mountain City.
There was no use for Zheng Fengshou and others to get their heads, and North Korea did not have any rewards for the first meritorious service. Besides, Zheng Fengshou accepted Mao Wenlong's silver medal and appointment, so he naturally wanted to sacrifice Pi Dao as a prisoner.
There are more than 300 heads. Even a small victory can be called a big victory, such as killing thousands of enemies. In this case, it makes sense.
If the imperial court or Denglai could get more grain and grass supplies, they could mobilize many troops from various islands to fight against the Jianlu.
And Guo Dajing knew something about the situation of the Dongjiang Army. He searched hard to save money and wanted to be the island owner. He also had a long-term plan.
When someone else is the owner of the island, the amount of food allocated can only support 500 soldiers. If it were Guo Dajing, he could have 800 or even 1,000 soldiers.
It would be better to have a larger population and a larger area so that you can recruit more soldiers and grow potatoes and the like. Of course, if possible, it would be better to be closer to the shore.
These three "points" are currently the conditions for Guo Dajing to choose an island. Of course, he cannot choose which one to give at will.
Zhang Pan went to write the victory report excitedly, and Guo Dajing and others were led to the temporary residence, where they fell down and fell asleep. It had been a long day, and they were busy enough, but they were also really tired.
He didn't sleep until daylight, then he opened his eyes and sniffed. The smell of rice was tempting, and his stomach immediately began to feel unsatisfactory.
After getting dressed, he followed the scent to the hall and found that some of his men were already sitting there eating and drinking.
"Sir." Wang Guozhong and everyone stood up and saluted.
Guo Dajing quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Eat, eat, don't pay attention to etiquette."
There were also Korean women waiting nearby, serving rice and soup diligently, respectfully and docilely.
Guo Dajing was also really hungry, so he ate as soon as he picked it up. Dog meat soup, rice, and kimchi were good and tasted quite fragrant.
"Sir." Wang Guozhong put down his bowl after eating, and said with a smile: "Yue Tuo is dead, the news has been confirmed."
Guo Dajing raised his head, with a very confused look on his face. It was so fast, beyond his expectation!
"There were a few local barbers who didn't want to continue to be cannon fodder, so they took advantage of the chaos and ran back." Wang Guozhong explained: "Maybe they were frightened by the casualties at Longgushan City. They confirmed that the leader of the Jianlu was dead.
, he was wrapped up and carried away by the wailing Jianlu."
Guo Dajing smiled, nodded vigorously, handed the empty bowl to the North Korean woman, and said loudly: "Put another bowl in."
Even though I felt confident, it was not until the final confirmation that I felt completely reassured and even more excited.
Not only because of his great achievements, but also because he killed another prisoner with bloody hands.
Yue Tuo followed Lao Nu to attack Liaoshen, followed Huang Taiji to raid the capital, and even attacked Jinan, causing countless Han people to lose their lives.
With his numerous military exploits, he was able to be promoted to Prince Heshuo, and he stepped on the bones of countless Han people.
Here, Guo Dajing and others were eating happily, talking and laughing loudly, with excited and exciting expressions.
In the city, Zheng Fengshou and others were also surprised and happy.
I am happy that I have killed the big leader of Jianlu, and yesterday I led the troops to attack aggressively; I am surprised that Longgushan City may be attacked even more, and Jianlu is likely to come to retaliate.
