Chang Yu looked over and saw the Tatar soldiers coming slowly by the Qili River. The lookout sentry quickly issued a warning signal below. The civilian workers on the construction site turned a blind eye and continued their work. For them, such warning signals were commonplace.
, and the soldiers immediately put down their live helmets and put on their armor to prepare for battle.
"This should be the last raid before dark." Zu Dashou looked to the west and saw that it was already evening: "It gets very cold here as soon as the sun sets. The Tatars have to go back to camp, otherwise they will freeze to death outside."
"Back to the camp? Are you going back to Jinzhou City?" Chang Yu asked curiously. There is still nearly a hundred miles to Jinzhou. From sunrise to sundown, these Tatar soldiers are really fighting for it, running back and forth for hundreds of miles.
.
"The last general once sent people to spy on these Tatars. Sometimes they returned to Jinzhou, and sometimes they took shelter from the wind and snow in the ruins of Xingshan Fort. They made a nest there that could accommodate nearly a hundred people." Zu Dashou looked at the approaching Tatars.
Zibing said calmly.
Chang Yu breathed out: "It's very cold up here. Let's go down and warm ourselves up."
Zu Dashou was slightly surprised when he heard the meaning of the words: "There is no need for the Governor to take risks."
Chang Yu smiled: "Although our family did not kill as many Tatars as General Zu, it was still a lot. We have not been stained with Tatar blood for a long time, and we feel uncomfortable all over. Now that we have come and caught up with each other, we are just enjoying our time as the governor."
The Tatar heads were sacrificed with blood to the souls of the Ming Dynasty in Tashan Fort."
Zu Dashou has heard for a long time that Chang Yu is brave and has the upper hand in military strength. However, he is the admiral of Dongchang after all and cannot tolerate any mistakes. If Chang Yu ruins his career or even his life, Zu Dashou will end.
But he also knew that this boy was as stubborn and aggressive as he was, so he reluctantly agreed and sent his nephew's generals to go to meet the enemy.
The more than a hundred Tatars clearly felt that there was something abnormal about the Ming army this time. In the past, due to the huge difference in military strength, the Tatars only harassed the periphery and ran away once they were engaged. However, the Ming army was afraid of the Tatars' superb cavalry and archery capabilities.
It is based on defense, offense and driving. It will not pursue the enemy fiercely and will not take the initiative to attack.
But it was very different today. The Ming army that came to drive them away only had about a hundred men, which was about the same strength as the Tatars. What was even more amazing was that as soon as the two sides met, the other side suddenly rushed over with bows and arrows without any warning.
Wow, why did you suddenly become brave? The Tatar soldiers were more excited than expected. Finally, they could fight happily!
You must know that from the beginning of the Ningyuan War to the invasion of the pass, the Tatars were beaten on the head by the Ming army. Thinking about how they have been so aggrieved in the past ten years, it can be said that the Tatar soldiers were filled with anger.
After that, I always wanted to find an opportunity to have a good fight with the Ming army to see who was the big brother of the Northeast.
However, even though they fought dozens of battles in the past month, the Ming army was ten times more powerful than them every time they faced each other. They relied on their numbers to drive them away without giving them a chance to fight one on one.
The sun actually came out from the west today!
But they soon realized that the sun was not rising from the west, but that Chang Yu was sending them to the west.
Zu Dashou, who was watching in the formation, was so excited that he couldn't help but sigh to the people around him: "It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead! The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. This man is so brave. When I see him today, I know that the rumors are true!"
Many of the people around him were his nephews and generals, and they nodded in agreement. They have been in the army since they were young and have been on the battlefield for a long time. I heard Ning Yuan's army say how brave Chang Yu was before, and thought it was flattering. Only after seeing him today did he realize that he was capable.
He has gained such a great reputation. He is really capable, but he is far behind him. Seeing him killing all the enemies in the battle formation like a general from heaven, one is shocked and still doubts, is he really an eunuch?
The personal guards led by Chang Yu are all veterans of hundreds of battles, and their bravery is not inferior to him. The Ding family generals sent to him by Zu Dashou are also the most elite troops in his hands. Although the Tatar soldiers are also brave, they are not as brave as him.
Still no match for his monstrous flames, the people who were killed in just half a stick of incense fled in panic, leaving dozens of corpses behind.
"Happy!" Chang Yu rode back, wearing a battle armor and holding a long knife in his hand. His whole body was stained with blood and he laughed so boldly that Zu Dashou and others were dazzled by it. They couldn't help but praise: What a young man who dominates the battlefield.
General!
The sun set and it soon became dark. The workers and soldiers outside the military fort all returned to the fort. After a short rest, they would continue the construction inside the fort.
There are trenches several meters wide outside the six-meter-high fort wall and are within shooting range. In addition, there are nearly a thousand soldiers and sufficient armaments in the fort. If the Tatars want to attack at night, it is really impossible without a few thousand people. The conditions are still there.
There has to be someone.
Even if they had everything in place, reinforcements from Ningyuan City might have arrived before the attack was launched. Therefore, since the completion of the fort wall, Zu Dashou was not worried about the Tatars coming to attack at all. He closed the door at night and was at ease with the internal construction work.
.
In fact, with the size of Tashan Fort, it would be difficult to garrison thousands of troops. Three to five hundred would be optimal. However, we are in a rush period and need manpower. After the completion of the project, some of the troops will be withdrawn.
It was already late at night when he returned to the city from Tashan Fort. Zhu Cixiang had not yet gone to bed. When he saw Chang Yu, he took a long breath: "Why did it take so long to come back? I thought..."
"I went to Jinzhou City to chat with Dorgon for a while," Chang Yu said casually. Zhu Cixiang was stunned: "Chat, what did we talk about..." Suddenly seeing Chang Yu's evil smile, he realized that he was joking, and couldn't help but give Chang Yu a smile.
Yu Yiquan: "I took it seriously."
"Can you believe this?" Chang Yu was helpless, and Zhu Cixiang coughed lightly: "Of course you wouldn't believe it when it comes to other people, but you are omnipotent... By the way, is there another fight over there today?
"
"You can see it from such a distance?" Chang Yu was startled, and Zhu Cixiang suddenly became excited: "We really fought. I still don't believe what the soldiers on the beacon tower said. But you saw it, and did you win?
"
There is a signal connection between Tashan Fort and the beacon tower. Whenever there is an intrusion from the enemy, a warning will be given. A small group of people and horses will smoke, and a large group will be full of smoke. When Chang Yu went to battle, Tashan Fort must have lit up, otherwise Zhu Cixiang would stand taller.
, no matter how good the weather is, it is impossible to see a war going on fifty or sixty miles away.
"I've already participated in the war and you said you saw it, but I won the battle." Chang Yu looked proud. Only then did Zhu Cixiang find that there was still some blood stains on his body, so he was so excited that he grabbed him and said, "Tell me something quickly."
,Hey...why don't you take me there today? Do you know that what I want to see most is your invincible majesty when you go into battle to kill the enemy..."
The next morning, everyone was having breakfast in the hall. Chang Yu said to Zhu Cihong: "After dinner, come with me to the military camp."
Going back so soon? It was a surprise to both brothers and sisters. Chang Yu nodded: "What needs to be done has been done, and the people who need to see have seen it, so I am going back to Beijing."
"But, I haven't seen enough of Ningyuan City yet?" Zhu Yusao's eyes wandered, and Chang Yu stared at her: "Then when we go to the military camp later, His Highness will be taking a good stroll."
"I……"
"This Ningyuan City is as big as the palm of your hand. What else is there to do? Don't you think I don't know what you are thinking?" Chang Yu sighed, and Zhu Aina couldn't bear it anymore. She covered her face with her hands and whispered: "I, I just don't want to.
Returning to Beijing so early."
Chang Yu really hit the mark. It's easy to get out but hard to calm down. Although the outside world is dangerous, the free canary doesn't want to go back to the cage.
"But we have to go back after all?" Chang Yu sighed, and Zhu Aina sobbed: "I know, but, but..."
"Give you one more day, we have to go back tomorrow morning." After Chang Yu said that, he turned and left. Zhu Cixiang sighed: "Kunxing, we have to go back anyway." After saying that, he got up and chased Chang Yu. Song Luoyu walked into the lobby.
Caressing Princess Kunxing's hair: "There is a hot spring in the southeast outside the city. I would like to accompany your highness to take a dip in the hot spring and then go to the beach to relax..."
One of them cried all the way out of Beijing to Shanhaiguan, and the other was just about to go back when the pear blossoms started to rain. Chang Yu had an extremely big head but couldn't beat him or scold him. He endured the helplessness and took Zhu Cixiang into the military camp accompanied by Zu Dashou to reward the troops.
The officers and soldiers of the Ningyuan Army were no strangers to Chang Yu. At that time, it was the young eunuch who led them in a battle with Dorgon outside Ningyuan City and won the only victory in recent years, which made the power of the Ningyuan Army once again famous in the Ming Dynasty.
After a lot of fun in the military camp, Chang Yu fulfilled Zhu Cixiang's dream and took him to the Xishan Mountains to hunt and re-visit the mountain streams where the troops were ambushed and the caves where the troops were hidden. Only at dusk did they return happily.
