Chapter 2073 Battle in Western Liaoning (Part 1)

Chapter 2071: Battle in Western Liaoning (Part 1)

After entering Lulong Fortress, Gongsun Xuanyuan, Jia Fu, and Sun Lingming looked at each other in shock. Apparently, they did not expect that capturing Lulong would be so easy.

You must know that Xuanyuan's original plan was to starve the defenders in the pass for a few days before forcibly seizing the pass after burning food. However, he never expected that Lulong would be successfully captured on the same day.

Although the casualties paid were much higher than the original plan, it saved several days of precious time, which in a certain sense was more important to Xuanyuan.

The first thing Xuanyuan did after entering Lulongsai was to send a letter to Zhou Yu in western Liaoning and Qin Hao in Youbeiping, telling them that Lulongsai had been captured.

Dozens of carrier pigeons were released by Xuanyuan himself. He knew that some carrier pigeons would be intercepted by the Manchus, but it didn't matter.

Before the pass was broken, the defenders in the pass released all the homing pigeons. Although Xuanyuan stopped a dozen of them in time, several still escaped. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties should have already known the news of the fall of Lulong, and Xuanyuan naturally had nothing to hide. Yes.

Seeing that the fire in the pass had not been extinguished, Gongsun Xuanyuan immediately ordered: "General Jia Fu, lead your people to put out the fire as quickly as possible, and then clean up the ruins. We are going to rearrange Lulong's defense."

Although Lulongsai’s defense was already very strong, it was taken back from the Qing army after all, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty also knew Lulong’s defense layout very well.

If the defense deployment is not changed in time, it will be used against the Qin army after the Manchu reinforcements arrive, and then the gains will outweigh the losses.

After Jia Fu led the people away, Sun Lingming hesitated for a moment, then came up and whispered: "General Xuanyuan, although the Qing army surrendered to us, it was forced to do so. Once the Manchu and Qing reinforcements arrive, there is no guarantee that these surrendered troops will not be there." A stab in the back."

Xuanyuan glanced at Sun Lingming in surprise. He didn't expect this reckless man to have such knowledge. It seemed that Emperor Ming really didn't teach him in vain.

“How does General Sun think these surrendered troops should be handled?”

After hearing Xuanyuan's words, a trace of struggle flashed in Sun Lingming's eyes, and then he showed a fierce look, and made a motion of wiping his neck with his hand, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Xuanyuan nodded secretly in his heart, but said: "The Qin army is forbidden to kill prisoners, isn't the general afraid of military law?"

"You are the commander-in-chief. Even if you are guilty of killing prisoners, you will be punished. What does it have to do with me, grandson?"

Seeing Sun Lingming looking shrewd, Xuanyuan covered his forehead speechlessly.

It was in vain that he still had expectations for Sun Lingming, thinking that he could become a famous general like Xiang Yu, but now it seems that this guy is just a little clever after all.

  Xiang Yu is not as strong as him at this age. It's a pity that he has such a good martial arts talent.

Xuanyuan thought in his heart, but he said: "General Sun, you don't have to worry about killing prisoners, I have already asked Gongsun Yu to take care of it.

Our army has too much to take care of now and cannot put itself in danger for the sake of some prisoners. King Qin is not a pedantic person and will understand our difficulties. "

As soon as Xuanyuan opened his mouth, Sun Lingming kept nodding his head. Learned people spoke in different ways. He could even give you several different ways to deal with such unscrupulous things as killing prisoners.

Um?

Sun Lingming was stunned for a moment, and then realized something was wrong, and his eyes when he looked at Xuanyuan became weird.

You have sent people to do it yourself, and you still pretend not to know. What do you mean by asking me the same questions?

Gongsun Xuanyuan has never killed prisoners before, and he does not plan to kill them again in the future. However, the current situation is special. The entire army is in the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty. These surrendered troops are time bombs that may explode at any time, so it is naturally impossible for him to keep them. these scourges.

After Gongsun Yu received the order, he immediately confiscated all the weapons of the surrendering army in the name of rectification, and the soldiers took the surrendering troops under unified custody.

The Manchu and Qing generals who surrendered in Kaicheng were a little uneasy about this, but considering that the enemy general was Gongsun Xuanyuan, and Gongsun Xuanyuan was a famous benevolent general who had never killed prisoners, so he probably would not have killed prisoners. It's a self-defeating thing.

Xuanyuan did not take the initiative to kill prisoners because of his benevolent behavior, but if the surrendered troops were disobedient, they would be seeking death. Therefore, the Manchu Qing generals could only suppress their uneasiness, obey the orders to disarm, and take the initiative to put their heads over to be chopped off by Gongsun Yu. "Just wait, when His Majesty's reinforcements arrive, you will die."

The Manchu surrender cursed in a low voice, but he could no longer wait for reinforcements.

As soon as Gongsun Yu left, three thousand Qin army archers surrounded the entire prison camp, followed by thousands of arrows.

Three thousand surrendering troops have neither armor nor bunkers, and are defenseless. How can they withstand Qin's crossbows?

"Gongsun Xuanyuan, you **** broke your promise. I was blind and misjudged you. Even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go..."

The Manchu general cursed Xuanyuan angrily, but before he could finish cursing, he was shot into a sieve by bows and arrows, and he could no longer die.

Ah, ah...

 The screams were endless, one after another.

Under the arrow array of the Qin army, the three thousand unarmed surrender troops were quickly slaughtered.

Gongsun Yu, a veteran general who was used to seeing life and death, said indifferently after seeing this scene: "Go and take back all the bows and arrows. We will use them to defend the city, so we can't waste them.

 In addition, two more knives were added to each corpse to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. "

                                                      )

After Gongsun Yu massacred all the surrendered troops, the fire in Lulong fortress was extinguished and even the wreckage was cleaned up, and Xuanyuan began to rearrange Lulong's defenses.

At the same time, Fu Jian in Liaoxi County was fighting the most difficult battle in his life.

After Zhou Yu landed in western Liaoning, Fu Jian did not dare to be careless. He directly dispatched 80,000 troops and divided his troops into separate groups. He was ready to wait for Zhou Yu's troops to penetrate deep into the mainland. He would first use his cavalry to cut off Zhou Yu's retreat and annihilate Zhou Yu's troops from multiple sides. department.

It has to be said that Fu Jian's plan is still very vicious. If Zhou Yu's purpose is to disrupt western Liaoning and make the Qing Dynasty's rear uneasy, Fu Jian will take the initiative to go deep into the interior. However, his purpose this time was just to cover Xuanyuan's surprise attack on Lulongsai. Naturally, it was impossible to really go deep into the inland and use 30,000 naval troops to go head-to-head with Fu Jian's 80,000 elite troops.

No matter how Fu Jian showed weakness, Zhou Yu's army did not go deep into the interior and kept sweeping within five miles of the coastline. The weapons sent a large number of spies out to collect intelligence.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was so cautious, Fu Jian did not want to continue to fight, so he commanded the army to attack directly. Zhou Yu, without saying a word, directly led the army back to the fleet at sea, and then landed again at a place where the Qing army was weak, and then continued Sweep.

During the period when Xuanyuan rushed to Lulong, Zhou Yu moved the battlefield four times in western Liaoning. Each time he withdrew in time before being surrounded by Fu Jian, and then continued to shoot and change positions. It can be said that it was disturbing. Fu Jian took the trouble.

There has been no update for two days in a row. The author has not logged into QQ for two days and has not entered the writer's area. When he logged in today, he was decisive and urged to update.

Someone asked whether the book was about a eunuch, some book friends were worried about whether the author had COVID-19 and was quarantined, and some asked whether the author had been kidnapped.

None. The reason for the interruption is very simple. The author is very busy during this period. Even on weekends, he has a lot of things to do. He is a little exhausted both mentally and physically and cannot take care of work and coding at all.

The reason why I didn’t ask for leave was, firstly, as mentioned in the previous chapter, secondly, I was too weak to ask for leave anymore because I was too weak, and thirdly, I was too impetuous in my heart to ask for leave.

The updates will be more stable in the future, so try your best to pay off all the chapters you owe by the end of the month.

Previously, I still owed five chapters that I have not paid back. There was no update on Thursday and Friday. I owe two chapters as a guarantee. In addition, if the monthly ticket exceeds 200, two chapters will be updated. Currently, I owe a total of nine chapters.
