Six hundred and seventieth chapters keep hostages peace of mind
When the three generals heard this, they immediately turned around and clasped their fists to defend Zhong Jin: "The last general should do this."
After saying that, he went out.
It turned out that He Kegang first led a part of Guan Ning's army to Haizhou City to replace the new army. He learned about the supplies in the Jianlu warehouse in Haizhou City, and then as soon as he totaled up the supplies he brought, he immediately sent someone to inform Zu Dashou that in He After Cao Wenzhao discussed it, he abandoned some of the supplies, thereby speeding up the progress of transporting the supplies to Haizhou City.
Although the car camp continued past Haizhou City and headed for Niutugang. After Zhong Jinwei learned about the situation in the rear, he first sent someone to notify the car camp to return to Haizhou City, and he gathered the new troops and retreated.
If it weren't for the field artillery unit, they could have retreated to Haizhou City in time even without laying landmines. After all, it's not that far away.
Therefore, Zhong Jinwei was fortunate to have learned the lessons from the last Shenyang attack and brought the developed jumping mine.
According to prior training, the members of the "Perak" brigade immediately laid mines and retreated.
This was also thanks to the fact that Jianlu was not aware of the mines and was anxious to catch up with the Ming army. Therefore, although the mines were buried roughly, Jianlu did not waste the mines.
In this blocking battle, if the key points were not explained to several generals in advance, if these generals were not battle-hardened, and if these generals hesitated a little, then the new army would still be in the blocking position at this time.
There are too many people building captives, and Niutou Gang is not the best blocking position. The arrival of daylight and the fatigue of the new army will ultimately determine the outcome of the war. Zhong Jinwei is really not sure.
No matter what, everything is fine now. Zhong Jinwei felt extremely tired and said to the guards around him: "You all should go and have a rest, we are all tired!"
Then he said to Sixiao who had followed Cao Wenzhao but did not leave: "The task of guarding will be left to you. If there is any major military situation, wake me up in time."
"Yes, uncle." The fourth child solemnly saluted with a military salute and replied loudly.
Outside Haizhou City, nearly 40,000 rebels surrounded Haizhou City, but no attack was launched.
Huang Taiji is still self-aware. Not only that Haizhou City was originally an important military town, but with the two old rivals at the top of the city, he knew that if he wanted to conquer Haizhou City, he would not be able to do so at the cost of human lives.
At this time, he had received the reward of being sent out to explore the horses, saying that there were a lot of Ming army supplies between Niuzhuangyi and Haizhou City, abandoned on the roadside.
This news moved Huang Taiji's heart. He wanted to know the situation of supplies in Haizhou City, but he couldn't find anyone to ask.
Gushan Erzhen Turge, who knew the specific number, disappeared, and the soldiers who fled back to Anshan Station said that they had set fire to the warehouse. Therefore, Huang Taiji did not know how much supplies the Ming army would eventually have in Haizhou City.
But no matter what, Huang Taiji decided on a countermeasure. It was very simple: surround the Ming army in Haizhou City.
Another piece of news made Huang Taiji more determined in this strategy. It was said that the Ming army's fleet was still on the Liao River and had not left, which showed that the Ming army was still thinking of escaping.
For this reason, he ordered the army to deploy troops mainly in the direction from Haizhou City to Niuzhuangyi. Nearly 40,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 captives blocked that road.
After the carriages and catapults from Niutugang were transported to Haizhou, they were also arranged in that direction. Huang Taiji was not satisfied yet and ordered more ordnance to be transported from Liaoyang.
This is convenient when fighting in Daikin itself. Ordnance and supplies from the rear can be transported quickly.
However, Huang Taiji only dreamed of besieging Haizhou City, but he did not ask the Ming army in the city whether they agreed or whether Zhong Jinwei was willing.
It wasn't until that night that the new sergeants woke up one after another. However, Zhong Jinwei woke up earlier than the new sergeants because he was worried.
After he had a hurried dinner, he inspected the city of Shanghai. He Kegang, who was on duty, immediately told Zhong Jinwei one by one the arrangements for building captives outside the city.
Zhong Jinwei didn't say much. After completing his inspection, he summoned the three generals for a meeting.
He glanced at everyone first, and then said: "Because of that incident, the New Army will set off back to the capital tomorrow morning, and Haizhou City will be handed over to your Guan Ning Army."
It was already known in advance that the new army was going back. But the situation was a little different now. He Kegang couldn't help but remind him: "Master Marquis, there are about 40,000 built captives outside the city."
Zhong Jinwei smiled after hearing this, with a look of contempt on his face and said: "I want to leave, but no matter how many Jianlu there are, I can't keep him."
Seeing that Marquis Zhongxing spoke so confidently, He Kegang said nothing more.
But Zu Dashou did not expect that Jianlu would pay such attention to it, and the slave chiefs came in person. He asked a little worriedly: "Master Marquis, when will you come to Haizhou again? The general has done some statistics again, and the supplies in the city are probably only
I can only hold on for more than three months."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he looked at Zu Dashou and saw a worried look on his face. He smiled again and said, "Why, are you afraid that I won't come?"
"No, no, I just want to have some peace of mind. After all, the Marquis has to go to the south." Zu Dashou quickly denied it.
Zhong Jinwei nodded, put away his smile and said: "Don't worry, Haizhou was finally defeated. Neither I nor the court will give up. As for Xiyi, in my eyes they are not much different from Jianlu. As long as they
If they dare to go ashore, they will not be able to return to their hometown."
Although he spoke confidently, the worried look on Zu Dashou's face still remained. He obviously didn't believe that Zhong Jinwei could quickly resolve the great turmoil in the south in more than three months, and then rushed to Haizhou City with supplies.
.
Zhong Jinwei saw him and knew what Zu Dashou was thinking. He looked at He Kegang, and he didn't seem to believe what he said.
He thought for a while and then suddenly shouted: "Where are Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Li Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi?"
The fourth child was standing behind Zhong Jinwei. When he heard his roll call, they all stood in front and said, "Yes."
"Are you willing to stay in Haizhou City and learn the art of defending the city from Zu and He?" Zhong Jinwei asked seriously.
Sun Kewang wanted to follow Zhong Jinwei. Just when he was about to speak, Li Dingguo said first: "Uncle, we are willing! We want to stay here to kill more Jianlu and avenge our adoptive father."
As soon as the other three people heard this, they had no other thoughts and all agreed with Li Dingguo's idea.
Zhong Jinwei nodded in approval, and then said to Zu Dashou and He Kegang: "Then I will leave these four nephews to you. I hope you will train them well. I have high expectations for them."
Zu Dashou knew that Marquis Zhongxing was leaving hostages in disguise so that he could defend the city with peace of mind.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will definitely live up to my trust. As long as I am the general, I will try my best to teach the four young masters." Zu Dashou quickly expressed his position. As for He Kegang, let alone him.
So Zhong Jinwei discussed some details with them, and then ordered Cao Wenzhao to go back and make preparations, and set off back to Beijing early tomorrow morning.
