Although it is not yet noon, the sun in the morning is already a bit irritatingly hot.

The grass under my feet seemed to be afraid of the power of the sun. Every blade of grass was a little bit squeaky, and some of them couldn't lift their heads.

In the wilderness more than twenty miles southeast of Yaozhou, the main force of the Ming army, with more than 10,000 men, was slowly advancing northward under the scorching sun.

It is Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce who are the two main actors.

In this battle, although Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce did not undertake the main attack mission and were somewhat deviated from the front-line battlefield, their mission was not too easy.

On the one hand, the two of them stayed behind. There were not many big things, but there were many trivial things. There were quite a few stragglers of the Hou Jin Army along the Gaizhou line. The two groups had small-scale encounters with them.

happens sometimes.

Such small-scale wars may seem innocuous, but they cannot be tolerated in large numbers. Once they are added up, they become time-consuming, energy-consuming, and exhausting.

On the other hand, and most importantly, there are many new recruits in the two-person team.

Although most of these recruits have gone through one or two years of training, Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce are both at the basic starting stage. Even with Li Yuanqing's strong support, they still have to eat one bite at a time.

In addition, by eliminating veterans and removing impurities, the team's fresh blood has been ensured, but the spirit has not yet been fully restored.

According to the previous discussion between the two of them and Li Yuanqing, they also planned to use war to support war and fill the gap for the overall situation. When the situation was almost clear, they would then enter the frontal battlefield, drink soup and train the team.

However, although the whole plan is very smooth, it is not easy to implement it.

Especially in this hot and dry weather, it really makes people feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce actually have a certain ability to travel at night. Unfortunately, the team's overall lack of combat experience, coupled with the stragglers of the Houjin Army surrounding them, make them not too brave to take the cooler night.

march.

After all, they were about to arrive at the battle zone of Yaozhou City. Although the Yue Tuo tribe had been defeated by Kong Youde and Shunzi, there were still many stragglers from the Hou Jin Army around who had not been cleared out.

The lethality of these people did not have much impact on Changsheng Camp and Chen Zhong's Department, but their exquisite mobility was far beyond what Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce could handle at this time.

This is also the biggest difference in nature between nomadic people and agricultural people.

If the main force of the Ming army is defeated, the fighting strength of the remaining stragglers will be almost zero and can be ignored, because it will be difficult for them to form an effective organization. Once they fight independently, it is impossible for these Jurchens to drink blood.

Warrior rivals.

But the Jin army was completely different. Huang Taiji's slightly conservative "confinement" policy, after being defeated by the Ming army, actually allowed their brave and free nature to bloom, making them even more at home.

The only good thing is that the vast area from Gaizhou to Haizhou is almost no man's land at this time, with almost no ordinary people, so it will not suffer from such a rout.

"Old Zhang, there is a small river ahead. Let's take a break at noon. This damn weather is really deadly."

Chen Liangce wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously and stuck out his tongue like a dog.

These Hou Jin Army Rangers around are so annoying. Even if they are marching in such weather, they can only be fully armed and ready for battle at any time.

At this time, Chen Liangce's helmet could have been fried with eggs.

Zhang Pan was also a little wiry from the heat at this time. He nodded slowly and said, "That's fine. Let's take a half-hour break at noon. In the afternoon, let's speed up our journey and try to reach Yaozhou before dark tonight."

With that said, Zhang Pan looked at Chen Liangce, smiled and said: "Old Chen, do you feel the gap between us and Yuan Qing?"

Chen Liangce couldn't help but smile bitterly, "We can't compare with Yuan Qing. The soldiers of Changsheng Camp are really tempered by blood and fire. Our sons are still very early. But, Lao Zhang, as long as

We have followed Yuan Qing’s footsteps closely, and I believe that in a few years, our group of sons and daughters will also be able to grow up.”

Chen~ Liangce’s last words were quite firm.

With Chen Zhong's example in front of him, he had a very clear vision in his heart.

Zhang Pan obviously understood the profound meaning of Chen Liangce, and said with a smile: "Master, let me in, practice is personal. Old Chen, we have to work harder!"

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Soon, the two groups stopped slowly by a small river in front, boiled some hot water to drink, and the men also had a good meal.

We are about to arrive at Yaozhou City. The main forces of Kong Youde and Shunzi are waiting for them to meet in Yaozhou City. The men of Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce are also feeling a lot more relaxed.

After all, being able to fight side by side with the world-famous Changsheng Battalion, as well as veteran generals like Kong Youde and Shunzi, their achievements can be guaranteed.

There were only a few scattered small trees by the river, and there was not enough shade. However, this did not hinder the mood of the two soldiers.

They all looked for something to hide in, hiding in the meager shade to avoid the sweltering heat.

Unlike marching in the pass, where many people would habitually fall behind, in this situation, everyone knew in their hearts that with so many Tatars on the march, if they fell behind, the consequences would be imaginable even with their butts.

Therefore, although the two groups had mostly new recruits, until this time, there were only a few laggards.

Under a small crooked birch tree, the soldiers built a temporary shed with oilcloth. Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce hid in the meager shade and smoked.

A Haizhou soldier smiled and explained to the two people and the surrounding soldiers: "General, Vice General Chen, this depression is called Yangjia'aozi. It turned out to be a large village with three to four hundred households. It's a humble job."

My grandfather and father both worked long-term here for the eldest man of the Yang family. Seven or eight miles up the river, it’s called Jinjiazhuang. Hehe. This Jinjiazhuang is a good place. I don’t know why, Jinjiazhuang.

The girl from Jinjiazhuang had a beautiful appearance. At that time, it would be a very honorable thing for anyone to marry a girl from Jinjiazhuang as a mother-in-law."

We are about to arrive in Yaozhou and meet up with Changsheng Camp. Everyone is in a good mood. One of the soldiers smiled and said: "Master Liu, why didn't you marry a wife from Jinjiazhuang back then?"

The soldier surnamed Liu, who was getting excited when he said this, couldn't help but darken his face. For a moment, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a smile: "Haha. I'm not afraid of the general and brothers laughing at me. I, Old Liu, was at the Jin family back then.

There is a pretty girl in the village, and they are going to get married in just a few days. Unfortunately, the dog Tatars came to kill her!"

The mood of the surrounding soldiers was stagnant.

Even Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce looked a little strange.

After a moment, Chen Liangce smiled and said: "Liu San'er, why does a man have to worry about not having a wife? As long as this lovely girl of yours is still alive, when we destroy the Tatars in the future! You still have a chance to marry her! This kind of thing,

Even if my uncle knows about it, he will also praise you!"

Liu Saner also reacted, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for the tip. Hehe. In fact, in recent years, I have also used various means to inquire about Xiaocai. I heard that she

Married to a Han army flag officer with a red flag as his concubine, and lived in the area of ​​Anshan Fort."

"Fuck you damn dog Tatars! Mr. Liu, the red flag on the dog's head is just a ball? How can it be compared with our heroes from southern Liaoning? When we see the uncle, brothers will go to ask him for help, and we will definitely

I have to fight to Anshan Fort and help Mr. Liu get his sweetheart back!"

"That's right! How dare you, the dog-Tatars, steal women from our brothers? When the brothers conquer Anshan Fort, we must kill all these dog-Tatars alive to vent their anger on Mr. Liu!"

"..."

The soldiers around him were immediately filled with indignation.

Since Chen Liangce and Zhang Pan moved to southern Liaoning, although Li Yuanqing has not been too involved in government affairs and military affairs, Li Yuanqing has done a lot of solid work in guiding public opinion in details.

.

Under the constraints of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, the Ming Dynasty has always paid attention to the three obediences and the four virtues.

In the customs, once a woman loses her virginity, even if it is an accident that she cannot choose, it may be a stain that cannot be erased for the rest of her life, and may even directly affect her destiny.

However, in southern Liaoning, with the enthusiastic performances of "The White-Haired Girl", "Mulan" and other major dramas, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong even took the lead in accepting women who had been bullied by the Tatars into their houses. This trend has already

There has been a huge improvement.

At this time in Liaonan, taking a woman who has been humiliated by fate as a wife or concubine is not only not a shame, but an honor!

To put it bluntly, people are the core of everything.

Everyone does like beautiful jade, but unfortunately, where can there be so much beautiful jade in this world for everyone to share?

Especially the hinterland of southern Liaoning is almost in ruins and resources are idle. That is simply a crime!

At this time, although Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce were the actual controllers of this army, the core of the entire public opinion, or the general trend, was firmly in the hands of Li Yuanqing.

With the appearance of Liu San'er, the surrounding soldiers, who had been weakened by the sun, were suddenly lifted up a lot.

There were even many shouts of 'Kill the Tatars and take back our women'.

Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce met each other at first glance, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. The military spirit can be used.

However, what they did not notice was that at this time, in a dense forest only five or six miles away to the northeast of them, the two main forces of Jierhalang and Yuetuo had been lurking for more than two hours.

Seeing that the sun was tilting towards the center little by little, but the Ming army still had not set off, Jierhalang spat in a low voice: "These Ming dogs are really calm. Yue Tuo, if not, we will

We will attack and resolve the battle as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Kong Youde and Zhang Sanshun from Yaozhou find out what is going on, things may change again."

Yue Tuo's face looked a little gloomy.

Although he had not slept for more than a day and a night and had only narrowed his eyes for a while, Yue Tuo did not feel tired at all, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

"Uncle Liu, we'd better wait for this matter. The Ming army is very good at forming formations. Although Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce are mostly new troops, they still have several years of experience after all. When they were in Pinggu, they didn't

Seeing that they are too panicked, we should be more patient and wait until they are on the road and open up their formation before taking action."

Of course Jierhalang understood what Yue Tuo meant, and thought to himself: "He is already in his thirties, and yet he is outclassed by a young man like Yue Tuo."

He smiled hurriedly and said: "That's fine. That's exactly what I mean. These bright dogs don't dare to march at night. They will definitely have to hurry in the afternoon."

Yue Tuo nodded heavily, closed his eyes to rest and stopped talking.

Jierhalang also calmed down his mind, as if an old monk was in meditation, not knowing what he was thinking.

At half past noon, a sentinel from the front carefully sent back the message: "Master, I know the Gouzi pioneer has set off."

Yue Tuo and Jier Halang were immediately refreshed.

Yue Tuo said in a low voice: "Uncle Six, let's wait a little longer until these smart dogs start their battle."

Jierhalang smiled and nodded, "That's fine. At that time, I will come to the south and you will come to the north. Pinch the head and tail and destroy them in one fell swoop!"

Yue Tuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Six. We must not let these clever fools escape in this battle!"

His words were as cold as the ice at the bottom of hell!
Chapter completed!
