The lunch here at Changsheng Camp is very sumptuous.

The absolute initiative also gave Changsheng Camp more time, and there was abundant water nearby. The soldiers drank hot hot water, ate hot dry biscuits, and drank salted fish and wild vegetable soup.

In this environment, it is definitely a five-star experience.

Li Yuanqing's meals were the same as those of ordinary soldiers. In order to maintain authority in peacetime, Li Yuanqing naturally had to keep some distance from the soldiers, but wartime was the best opportunity to get close to the soldiers.

And the closer it is to summer, the more important food safety becomes.

In winter, drinking raw water is okay, because the cold weather will freeze most of the germs in the water to death, but in summer, Li Yuanqing has issued a strict order that no one can drink raw water, even if they die of thirst.

Otherwise, once an epidemic occurs and becomes popular, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In fact, in military history, whether it is an expedition or a surprise attack, non-combat attrition accounts for more than half or more, and 90% of this is due to unscientific eating methods.

As the affairs of the Changsheng Camp gradually began to move on the right track, Li Yuanqing also began to have more energy, using the experience of later generations and combining it with the actual situation of the Changsheng Camp to gradually change and improve the living habits and methods of the soldiers.

After lunch, the fatigue from the hard work all morning was relieved a lot. The soldiers gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing.

Li Yuanqing glanced around.

It is undeniable that the Ming army's mandarin duck war jackets have reached the pinnacle from an aesthetic point of view. Even the uniforms of the later generations of the American and French armies are far from achieving this bright and shocking effect.

But there are pros and cons.

This kind of bright red color scheme makes it easier for the general to see the situation clearly in large-scale operations, but on the contrary, in small-scale similar special operations, these bright red colors are really too eye-catching.

For example, at this time, it would be difficult not to see the movements on our side in the direction of Yangguan Fort.

Li Yuanqing is also carefully considering that in the next step, he must increase his efforts in the scout team, and even develop some equipment similar to later camouflage uniforms.

Only by maintaining the advantage in intelligence and taking the initiative will we be able to take the lead in the overall situation in the future.

After lunch, when the sun was at its most intense, the soldiers hid in the shade to rest, and Li Yuanqing was able to calm down and consider his next move.

If the situation continues like this, it won't be too difficult to capture Yangguan Fort.

However, Yangguanbao was more patient than Li Yuanqing expected. They did not send elite troops to ask for help. This meant that in a short period of time, it would be difficult for Fuzhou to discover the trends here and try to lure them out.

It is very difficult to get to the castle.

If you want to take Yangguan Fort, you can only attack it by force.

The long-range firepower of the Changsheng Battalion is all light firepower such as cannons. If you want to attack by force, you can only use human lives to fill it, which is not wise.

Li Yuanqing did not plan to stay in Yangguanbao for too long. After harvesting the wheat in the afternoon, he would move his position and find another place to continue searching for oil and water.

For Li Yuanqing, he did not care much about the achievements that others valued.

After all, Li Yuanqing had just been promoted to guerrilla. Even if he made great achievements again, he would not be promoted in a short time. It would only make his reputation too great.

People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.

In the Dongjiang headquarters, although Li Yuanqing is very humble, he is already a bit out of his element.

In addition, Mao Wenlong's order to Li Yuanqing was to harass and hold back the main force of the Hou Jin Dynasty. Li Yuanqing did not have much interest in small fortresses such as Yangguan Fort. In his concept, everything must be based on actual benefits.

Only if the Changshengying headquarters becomes stronger and stronger, Li Yuanqing will have greater capital and a more confident voice in any changes faced in the future.

But just as he was about to squint for a while and rest his mind, a sudden commotion came from the direction of the south gate of Yangguan Fort.

After a moment, the city gate was opened, and someone was waving and shouting desperately towards the Changsheng Camp.

On the city gate tower, thick smoke was already rising. It was obvious that someone had set a fire.

Li Yuanqing's expression changed, and he obviously did not expect this situation.

After a while, Duan Xiliang, Guan Canghai, and Xu Heizi quickly arrived at Li Yuanqing's side.

Duan Xiliang said anxiously: "General, there seems to be a civil strife in Yangguan Fort. Someone has opened the gate for us. We must go there quickly to rescue."

Guan Canghai said: "General, the situation is unclear at this time. It may be a trick of the Tatars. We cannot act rashly."

Li Yuanqing had calmed down at this time, and said with a faint smile: "Even if it is a Tatar trick, we will still follow it. There are not many Tatars in Yangguanbao, so even if there is a trick, what can they do to me? But we can't let the people down.

Heart. Send my military order, the 1,000th Corps is advancing. Two musketry soldiers will cover both sides."

"yes."

…………

In the direction of Yangguan Fort, Zhu Zhu and Zhang Sanwa had already controlled the city gate and were shouting desperately towards the Changsheng Camp. Seeing the movement from the Changsheng Camp, they quickly joined them and they couldn't help shouting excitedly.

.

At this time, Mu Zhen, who had just returned to the house to rest, also received news of the rebellion at the city gate. He was frightened and hurriedly rushed out with his confidants.

But as the Changsheng Battalion took the lead in responding, the Han flag soldiers on the fort wall began to commotion.

No one is stupid.

Now, the city gate has been opened, and the Ming army has taken the initiative. Who has more prospects? Is there any need to ask?

Not long after, the Han army flag soldiers and servants at the top of the city rebelled one after another, relying on the favorable terrain at the top of the city to desperately block the charge of Mu Zhen's minions.

Everyone wanted to perform well in front of the new masters, the Ming army generals.

The dozen or so real slaves on Mu Zhen's side were old and weak, and they were already passive. At this time, they became even more passive and could not break through the city gate defense line of these traitors.

In desperation, they had no choice but to retreat to the official hall, preparing to use the terrain of the official hall for their final defense.

Soon, as the vanguard of the 1,000th Corps arrived at the city gate, the entire Yangguan Fort instantly fell under the control of the Changsheng Battalion.

There are Changsheng Camp interception points at all intersections. Even if he breaks through, Mu Zhen has no choice.

After closing the door and beating the dog, the next thing will be much simpler.

Li Yuanqing entered Yangguanbao Castle half an hour later. At this time, Mu Zhen had been tied into a rice dumpling and covered in blood, and a dozen of his real slaves had been chopped into pieces.

.

Looking at Mu Zhen's vicious gaze, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile and said to Duan Xiliang next to him: "Have all the achievements been tallied up?"

Duan Xiliang said hurriedly: "General, we have done the statistics. These two brothers beside me are the first to contribute in this battle."

As he spoke, he pointed to the pillars and Wang Sanwa beside him.

Wang Sanwa was covered in blood, and there were countless wounds on her body, but at this time, he couldn't feel any pain at all. The Ming army general in front of him was actually a guerrilla, which was not a small thing. His desperate gamble, as expected,

Not in vain.

He had long heard that the chief generals of the three Ming armies in southern Liaoning were all guerrillas.

This means that he met the chief general of one of the three Liaonan tribes.

"Little Liang Zhu, Wang Sanwa, pay homage to the general." Zhu Zhu and Wang Sanwa hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled and helped them up with his own hands, "Thank you for your hard work, two brothers. You two should be the first to take advantage of this battle. I will report it to the court to commend you for your military merit."

The two of them couldn't help but be overjoyed. Liang Zhu hurriedly said: "General, all the family members of this old dog Mu Zhen are inside. Unfortunately, his two sons went on an expedition and were not caught."

Wang Sanwa was also happy and anxious.

Li Yuanqing's words made it clear that the two of them would definitely receive official awards, but Wang Sanwa was still thinking about Mu Zhen's fifth concubine. He wanted to talk to Li Yuanqing and ask Li Yuanqing to reward him with this fifth concubine.

But he also knew that this was impossible, so he could only do it in a hurry.

It was naturally impossible for Li Yuanqing to understand Wang Sanwa's thoughts at this time. The rebellion of the Han flag soldiers in Yangguan Fort also made Li Yuanqing more clearly aware that the Later Jin Army had not taken root in southern Liaoning for a long time, and its rule was far from that of the

It looks so stable on the surface.

The Liao land is bitterly cold and the folk customs are fierce. As long as it operates well, the Changsheng Camp has great potential in southern Liaoning.

There were about 70 or 80 Han banner soldiers who rebelled and surrendered this time, accounting for almost 80% of the Han banner soldiers in the city.

Li Yuanqing personally appeased them, temporarily appointed Liang Zhu and Zhang Sanwa as their commanders, and ordered people to put out the fire at the city gate and maintain normal order in the fort.

At this time, the results of this battle were also calculated.

Due to the help of the inner ghost, the Changsheng Battalion suffered no casualties in this battle, but a lot of supplies were seized. In addition to the food and weapons reserves reserved in the castle, there were also the family properties of Mu Zhen and these real slaves.

Mu Zhen was the Niulu Zhangjing with a red flag. His Niulu fiefdom was in Yangguan Fort. The young men in Niulu all went to war with the old slaves, but the family property was left here, only cash and longevity.

On the camp side, more than 10,000 taels have been collected, as well as a lot of dry goods such as pigs, horses, and mutton, and a large number of female relatives, probably as many as a thousand people.

The officers and soldiers were all smiling. They really couldn't imagine that the war could be so easy to fight. That's all for these dog Tatars.

Who said they have only three heads and six arms?

But in the official hall of Yangguanbao, Li Yuanqing remained calm enough.

The previous blockade did provide the Changsheng Camp with many opportunities, but Fuzhou City was by no means a fool. They should soon notice the changes here.

Although there are not many main forces in Houjin in southern Liaoning, when they are gathered together, the Changsheng Battalion is still no match.

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.

Having already taken advantage, how could Li Yuanqing fight against the main force behind the gold medal here?

The entire army rested in Yangguan Fort for half an hour, beheaded all the true slaves and stubborn Han banner soldiers, leaving only the heads, and the large group of troops quickly retreated towards the temporary camp to the west.

Looking at the towering fort wall not far away, Guan Canghai said: "General, do you want to burn this fort? Hou Jin lost his stronghold here."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "There is no need to be so wasteful. This is my Ming Dynasty's fortress. It took a lot of manpower and financial resources to build it. If the Tatars want to use it, just leave it to them first. Whenever we need it, we can just come and get it."

Guan Canghai immediately understood what Li Yuanqing meant and couldn't help but smile, "Your Excellency is wise."
