Chapter 4 That's it, the trump card is nothing more than that
Killing more than 200 people is really fierce. If I had more than 200 heads, how much money would I need to exchange for them to become a rich man? I just don’t know which ones, and I don’t think those Jianlu are so powerful.
?
Well, the golden wind has not yet moved, and the cicada is aware of it, and the conspiracy is impermanent. I don’t know how to die. My sneak attack is indeed very sinister, and it was his fate to die under my high-tech crossbow.
Guo Dajing regained his honest and dull expression, and he didn't think it was a big deal to kill an ace Zhuosheng. Baylor, Zhuosheng, and minions all died with one arrow.
Liu Xingzuo nodded secretly, thinking that Guo Dajing was a talent. This calm skill alone was not something ordinary people could possess.
He could not be moved by the great achievement of killing the Jianlu leader; was it a reward, a promotion, or just pure hatred. Liu Xingzuo was a little curious, what was Guo Dajing fighting for?
Zhang Pan took out the silver reward and said, "Take this reward first, and then we will reward you according to your merits after the war." After saying that, he said apologetically: "The war is urgent, and you are the backbone of the sentry, so you can only accompany the army.
Take action and find another time to rest."
Zhou Qing happily picked up the silver reward, while Guo Dajing only smiled slightly, but was not as cheerful as him.
Liu Xingzuo saw this, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips slightly, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Although he was left out by Mao Wenlong, Liu Xingzuo was still unwilling to accept it. Without real power and unable to lead troops in battle, he secretly observed and pondered the temperament of the generals of the Dongjiang Army.
You must know that he is connected with Yuan Chonghuan. He has sent people to western Liaoning to report the Jianlu attack on North Korea. To put it bluntly, Liu Xingzuo is also Yuan Chonghuan's spy in the Dongjiang Army.
In addition to military intelligence, Liu Xingzuo would also report the situation in the Dongjiang Army to Yuan Chonghuan. For example, whether a certain general was more loyal to the court or more loyal to Mao Wenlong.
Therefore, Liu Xingzuo felt that Guo Dajing, a small flag official who suddenly burst into glory, was very malleable and was very likely to win over him.
Even if you can't fight for it, you have expressed goodwill, and you have even helped as much as you can, who knows whether it will be used in the future?
There is a saying that Liu Xingzuo believes in, that is: more friends means more roads, fewer enemies means less walls.
Zhou Qing and Guo Dajing saluted and retreated. Zhang Pan had made arrangements and led the officers to do their own thing and move their troops to Zhangzi Island.
"This is not all the reward money. It is usually given out after the war." Zhou Qing and Guo Dajing came out and explained to him, "If you can give out some in advance, you are already taking good care of us."
Guo Dajing smiled and nodded, indicating that he didn't care.
Zhou Qing clicked his tongue, feeling both emotional and excited, "I didn't expect to kill Turushi. If the whole army is informed, you will become famous."
"Really?" Guo Dajing glanced at Zhou Qing with a smile and said, "Let's, together."
Zhou Qing patted Guo Dajing on the back and said, "We have benefited a lot, especially from a certain family. You saved this life."
Guo Dajing shook his hand and said, "No, you're welcome. I'm angry."
"Okay, no more words." Zhou Qing waved his hand cheerfully and said, "We are brothers, it would be pretentious to talk too much."
Guo Dajing laughed, and rushed to the dock with Zhou Qing to follow the army and board the ship.
……………………
Uiju.
As the sun sets in the west, its fire-like light dyes the sky and the city red, like the reflection of a prairie fire.
Jianlu's attack was repulsed again, and the city was filled with corpses, broken swords, guns and flags.
The pungent smell of saltpeter and sulfur permeated the city, and dripping blood could be seen everywhere on the battlements and on the horse paths, showing the brutal and bloody offensive and defensive battles.
Li Wan was patrolling the top of the city under the protection of his own soldiers. Looking at the dark Jianlu camp in the distance outside the city, his heart kept sinking.
Although there were advance preparations, the time was too short and they only defeated Jianlu's sneak attack on the city. There was still a lot lacking in the preparation of hoarding materials to defend the city and the training of soldiers.
More importantly, everyone in North Korea still has the same old vision and ideas. They believe that Jianlu will continue the foreign policy he followed when Laonu was still alive, that is, to avoid fighting on two fronts and not send troops to Korea.
Who would have thought that just over three months after Huang Taiji took the throne, he would launch an offensive against the DPRK.
Moreover, North Korea has just experienced "Injo Anyway" and "Yi Shi's Rebellion", and has not yet completely restored stability, and has also suffered a great loss in strength.
After just over a day of defending the city, Li Wan discovered to his dismay that the supplies for the defense were not enough, and even the ammunition for the musketeers was almost running out.
On the contrary, Jianlu was well prepared. Not only did they have many siege equipment, but also thousands of Korean "head shavers" led by the two rebel generals Han Run and Jiang Hongli participated in the battle.
According to the definition of Chinese characters, Han Run and Jiang Hongli are traitors to the court, and thousands of Koreans who have shaved their heads are puppet soldiers.
These gangs of traitors and puppet soldiers shouted and incited, which was a political offensive, which had a considerable impact on the Uiju defenders.
"Sir." Judge Cui Mengliang rushed to the city and reported: "I have mobilized the people in the city to demolish the houses, and have obtained a large amount of bricks, stones and wood, which are being transported."
Li Wan nodded, feeling sad in his heart, but he still had to force a smile and said: "Judge Cui has worked hard, and Yiju City is still unbreakable. You should be the first to do it."
Cui Mengliang's face was solemn, and he raised his hand to signal his soldiers to retreat. He approached Li Wan and lowered his voice and said: "Sir, why don't we break out at night and be escorted by Fujino Masaru with the musketeers. We will stay and defend the city in a lowly position, vowing to live and die with Yizhou.
"
Li Wan just pondered for a moment, then shook his head and rejected Cui Mengliang's suggestion, and said slowly: "As the governor of Yizhou Prefecture, how can I abandon the city and flee? As long as I am here, the morale of the army can still be maintained. If I don't see you,
I'm afraid that the people's hearts will be distracted and the city will be destroyed overnight."
Raising his hand to stop Judge Cui's continued persuasion, Li Wan lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "When my uncle was shot in the battle of Luliang Sea, I wished that it was me who was injured and killed. Now, when life and death are at stake, it is also me.
I sacrificed my life for the country and saved my Li family’s loyal name.”
Cui Mengliang also knew that it was basically hopeless to defend Yizhou until now. If Li Wan fled, people would be in chaos and the city would collapse without attack.
"I will fight to the end with my lord, and live and die with the city. Now, I will go to the city to supervise the volunteers and go to the city to help in the battle." Cui Mengliang bowed and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Li Wan stretched out his hand to stop Cui Mengliang and said solemnly: "My uncle originally had five sons, but now only Li Xin is left. I am not afraid of death, but I can't bear to have him die young. Please take Master Cui out of the city at night.
, I sent Fujino Masaru to guard him."
Yi Sun-shin's youngest son, Yi Sun, was only two years old when his father was killed in battle, and he is only twenty-seven or eighty years old now. He passed the Korean military examination and became a junior officer in Uiju City.
"And your family members, please leave the city together!" Li Wan added, and ordered Cui Mengliang to prepare quickly, and he sent someone to summon Fujino Masaru.
