Please ask me to be the emperor

"Don't fight, don't fight, we can't fight, we can't fight!" It is said that after the rebels and Houjin fought for three or five rounds, the Communist Party of China killed and injured three people. The killing efficiency was extremely touching. Zhang San Bai had to give an order to stop shooting.

The rebels relied heavily on firearms in their wars.

If Zhang Sanbai consumes these precious gunpowder in vain, I am afraid that both Duduo and Daishan will wake up laughing in their dreams.

"Hey, stop!" Zhang Sanbai just gave the order, and Duoduo, Daishan and the others suddenly cheered.

They did not understand Zhang Sanbai's thoughts, but instead regarded this as a major victory in the artillery battle between Houjin and Jin.

"Reward, each gunner will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver." Duduo couldn't help but quickly ordered, "Hit the gunners hard, and the one who kills the 'thief chief' will be raised to the top of the three flags!"

Following Duduo's order, Houjin's gunners worked harder and harder, and the sound of cannons continued for a while.

"General, what should we do?" Zu Dashou frowned and volunteered, "Otherwise, I will lead the cavalry to attack him, and I will ensure that the Hongyi cannon is destroyed by him!"

"What's it worth? It's easy for us to have some leisure time, why don't we take a rest?" Zhang Sanbai said with a cold face.

"Ah? Rest?" Zu Dashou was a little confused.

"Yes, since the other party wants to beat us two, why should we be beaten here?" Zhang Sanbai said matter-of-factly.

"Huh? That's true!" Zu Dashou was stunned when he heard this. Although he felt that something was wrong, he still nodded in agreement.

The two of them had already decided on their plan and did not mention resting, leaving only Houjin's gunner to keep firing away.

At this moment, two long dragons were winding their way from Guangning to Juliuhe, and from Phoenix City to Shengjing.

Starting from Guangning was Yang Guozhu, who had two generals, Cable Guoan and Zhang Damou.

"General, the Juliu River is not far ahead!" Zhang Damou turned back and reported, "Our scouts have arrived and no trace of the enemy has been found!"

"Okay!" Yang Guozhu nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Have you and General Lu caught up? If the situation is urgent, you can join forces with General Lu first without waiting for me and Xian Guoan!"

"I'm about to report it to the general!" Zhang Damou said quickly after hearing this, "We have already joined forces with General Lu. General Lu wants us to occupy Shaling Dun as soon as possible!"

"Shaling Dun?" Yang Guozhu looked confused when he heard this, "Where is this?"

"Going eastward after the Juliu River, you will find Changning and Jingbian Forts, and then Shaling Dun." Zhang Damou explained after hearing this, "This Shaling Dun is located on Shaling, on the south bank of Pu River, forty miles away from Shenyang. , Zhenghe and Pinglubao are the horns of each other."

It turned out that Zhang Damou had just gotten on the line with Lu Xiangsheng and did not know that Zhang Sanbai had already garrisoned in Baitapu, so he only talked about Pinglu Fort and nothing else.

"It turns out this is here!" Yang Guozhu suddenly realized after hearing this.

It turns out that this Shaling Pier was one of the seventeen piers west of Shenyang, so Yang Guozhu never thought of it for a while.

However, due to the large area of ​​this pier and the presence of a post station, it is different from ordinary piers and can basically be classified as a fortress.

"In this way, you go to Shaling Dun as soon as possible, and I will arrive shortly." Yang Guozhu pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and couldn't help but directly ordered, "Get on the line and bring the 'Qingtian General' and other artillery to the back of the formation!"

From Juliuhe to Shalingdun, a hundred miles away, the cavalry can arrive in one day, and if the infantry travels twice as long, they can arrive in the same night.

"Yes, general, take the order!" Zhang Damou and Xian Guoan couldn't help but shouted the order after hearing this.

Just as Yang Guozhu and others were about to arrive at Juliuhe, Li Dingguo, Shen Shikui and North Korean general Jin Yu, who set out from Phoenix City, also arrived in Liaoyang City.

"Oh, brother, you are here!" Huang Degong quickly opened the east gate of Liaoyang and greeted him personally.

"How is the battle going?" Li Dingguo looked at the silent city of Tokyo across the river and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.

"Don't look, the Tatars in the city have already escaped!" Huang Degong explained quickly, "A few days ago, Zhang Shuai led the main force north to threaten Shenyang, the capital of Shengyang. The Tatar chief couldn't sit still, so he abandoned Tokyo and went back."

"How many troops do these Tatars have?" Li Dingguo asked quickly before Huang Degong finished speaking.

"About 30,000 to 40,000 troops!" Huang Degong frowned and explained, "Originally, the pseudo-king Daishan had more than 10,000 troops under his command. Zhang Shuai could not help but defeat him in the east of Liaoyang City, and almost the entire army was wiped out."

"And the 40,000-strong army under the command of Tatar Chief Dodo also suffered many losses before, but now it is probably not less than 40,000."

"What about Zhang Shuai?" Li Dingguo asked again.

"This number!" Huang Degong hesitated and stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty thousand?" Li Dingguo, Shen Shikui and Jin Yu were shocked.

"What are you afraid of? General Lu also has ten thousand people under his command!" Huang Degong knew more information than them and couldn't help but explain quickly.

"Oh. Thirty thousand versus forty thousand is not too outrageous!" Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled, "In that case, let's not go to the city and delay, and then we can harass the general when we go north to defeat the Tatars. .”

"I really envy you. If Liaoyang's location wasn't so important, I would have loved to go north with you to accomplish this great feat!" Huang Degong glanced at the three of them enviously, with a sour taste in his mouth.

However, he also knows that "a trapped beast still fights", and the war will become more cruel at this time.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Li Dingguo couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this, "Not to mention that General Huang made a huge contribution in his surprise attack on Liaoyang City."

"Let's just talk about us. One is crossing the ocean and training soldiers; the other is fighting for the rest of his life and doesn't care to take a breath and go back to the battlefield."

"How can we, old and young, compare to General Huang?"

"Uh." As soon as Li Dingguo said this, Huang Degong was speechless.

It turned out that Shen Shikui and Jin Yu were already over fifty, with gray hair, while Li Dingguo was only fifteen or sixteen years old, still a half-grown child.

In this way, doesn't it mean that they are "old, old, young and young"?

The two of them exchanged polite greetings, and Li Dingguo replenished some dry food and drinking water from Liaoyang City, stored part of the luggage, and then headed north towards Baitapu.

Now it took another day's work before Li Dingguo and others arrived at Hupiyi.

As soon as the rebels arrived at Hupiyi, Houjin's scout discovered the movement and hurried to Baitapu to report.

When the scouts broke into Houjin's camp, they heard a commotion in the camp, and many people were gathered around to watch something.

"What's wrong?" The man quickly found a place to tie his horse, and asked as he pushed aside a besieging soldier.

"The Han people, who are in Cao's camp and whose heart is with Han, yesterday used red cannons to blast the 'Shun thieves' for a whole day. They hit more than a thousand iron hammers, but in vain. Your Majesty saw through them, and they are currently executing them there. "The soldier couldn't help but rejoice in his misfortune.

It turned out that those gunners received the reward yesterday for no reason, which had already made other real Tatars dissatisfied.

It just so happens that these people have made Dodo unhappy, so why can't they just add insult to injury?

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty, it's almost done!" That Daishanjian Duduo was whipped several times, he let out a bad breath, and quickly spoke to dissuade him.

"If we beat these dog slaves to death, no one will be able to hit them accurately!"

It turns out that these Han artillerymen are not like those people said, "people are in Cao's camp and their hearts are in Han." But he actually worked hard for the Qing Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the power of the Hongyi cannon is certainly extraordinary, but just thinking about destroying a white pagoda in a short while is tantamount to wishful thinking. This is why Zhang Sanbai and Zu Dashou did not expect that Hou Jin's main target was the white pagoda. the root cause.

In fact, Hou Jin hit the White Tower hundreds of times yesterday, causing serious damage to the walls, windows, etc. However, the columns and beams were intact, so it was naturally impossible for it to collapse.

Na Duduo didn't know the key, so he had no choice but to vent his anger on others.

"Well, since Prince Lilie has begged for mercy, I will spare you this time. If the tower cannot be destroyed today, I want you to look good!" Duduo cursed a few angrily and then stopped.

"Your Majesty, urgent military situation!" Just as Duduo put down his riding whip, a soldier came over timidly and reported in a low voice.

"explain!"

"The 'Shun Thief' has a reinforcement force, approximately ten thousand people, appearing in Hupiyi."

"What?" Duduo and Daishan were shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at each other and asked, "Where did he get these ten thousand men?"

"Phoenix City, these are the troops attacking Phoenix City!" Daishan reacted quickly, and he had a flash of inspiration and quickly reminded him.

"Report, urgent report from Shengjing!" And at this moment, another messenger suddenly broke in.

"Say!" Duduo's expression was ugly, which frightened the surrounding soldiers.

"That...according to the scouts' report, Shaling Dun is occupied by 'Shun Bandits', and their number is unknown."

"Bastard, I'm going to beat you useless dog slaves to death!" Duduo couldn't bear it anymore. He reached out and grabbed the riding crop that he had just put down, and couldn't help but start beating him randomly.

The beating only caused the surrounding soldiers to howl like ghosts and flee in all directions.
