The Liu brothers came forward to propose a toast, and Cao Wenzhao raised his glass and said: "Our Guards have regulations that they are not allowed to drink alcohol during wartime.
However, today I saw that you Han'er have returned to our Ming Dynasty.
I am really happy, so I will make an exception and come to my aid."
All the officers of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Guards Division would like to propose a glass of wine to you and welcome you back to the Chinese family.
Please drink this glass."
The Liu brothers also paid tribute to the Guards officers.
Cao Wen ordered: "Don't worry about them.
They will definitely not drink.
Breaking military regulations is not a joke.
I just drank a glass of wine.
I will have to settle accounts then." of."
Everyone laughed, but their hearts were stunned.
It seems that not only the equipment of the Guards is better than that of the original Ming army, but the military discipline and rules are also much stricter than before.
The discipline of an army is complementary to the combat power of an army.
After the banquet, Cao Wenzhao wrote a memorial about Li Yangeng's situation, and also wrote a letter to Lu Xiangsheng about the situation in Fuzhou, and then sent someone to Gaizhou overnight.
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was discussing the strategy of defending the city with Du Guangting, Chen Liyuan and others in Haizhou City.
The scouts received news that Yue Tuo, the leader of the banner with a red flag, was heading to Haizhou with about 4,000 Han troops and more than 3,000 armored soldiers.
He should arrive in Haizhou tomorrow morning.
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "We are old rivals, haha, we fought in western Liaoning last time."
Wang Chengmin also smiled and said: "It seems that I didn't hurt him last time, but I can't let him go this time."
Although Du Guangting didn't know, he heard that Yue Tuo should have been defeated by them, so he said: "Since he is the defeated general, then fight him so that he will never dare to speak bravely again.
At the end of the day, he will ask for a fight and defeat him tomorrow." ” Lu Xiangsheng said: "This person is not easy to deal with.
Let's wait and see what his situation is tomorrow."
Chen Liyuan also said: "This Yue Tuo had many military exploits during the Battle of Liaoyang and Shenyang.
In Baitapu, he drove away the Ming army for forty miles and killed more than 3,000 of our Ming army."
Du Guangting stopped talking, but thought that he would fight tomorrow no matter what, capture this guy in one fell swoop, and avenge the dead Ming army.
The next morning, the Hou Jin army arrived outside Haizhou City.
Du Guangting wanted to take advantage of the enemy's chaotic formation to attack, so he asked Lu Xiangsheng to lead a battalion to fight.
Lu Xiangsheng also wanted to take the opportunity to see the combat power of the Hou Jin Army this time, but felt that one battalion was too few, so he was allowed to take two battalions to test it out.
Du Guangting was so happy that he opened the city gate with his soldiers and rushed out.
When he was two hundred steps away from the Jin army behind him, he stopped, reorganized his team, and advanced slowly forward in three rows.
When he was fifty steps away from the enemy, Du Guangting wanted to give the order to shoot, but he hesitated and thought it would be better to go to thirty steps.
This distance was safer.
As a result, a large number of arrows were fired from the opposite side, knocking down several soldiers at once.
Ten people.
It turns out that Yue Tuo asked all the Hou Jinjia soldiers to shoot with bows and arrows.
He had fought with the Guards and knew that letting them get close to the Hou Jinjia soldiers was too powerful.
His own bows and arrows were at least incomparable in terms of lethality, so he simply struck first. , attack with arrow rain.
Du Guangting's eyes were red.
He directly ordered an attack.
The bamboo whistle sounded.
The first platoon of the Guards fired the firecrackers.
However, the hit rate of the firecrackers was greatly reduced during the march.
Some lead bullets were shot into the air or on the ground, and there were no The opponents were distributed well.
Some of the enemy troops in the front row were hit by multiple lead bullets, while others had no lead bullets to greet them at all, so they only knocked down a few dozen people.

At this time, Hou Jin's second wave of arrows had arrived.
This wave shot down about a hundred people.
Although most of the people hit by the arrows were only injured in non-fatal parts such as the legs and abdomen, some people were hit on the head.
He was shot, and judging from his injuries, he was hopeless.
The bamboo whistle sounded again, and the second row of firecrackers fired.
This time they only knocked down a hundred people, mostly Han soldiers.
At this time, the two sides were no more than thirty steps apart.
Du Guangting ordered another attack.
The sound of bamboo whistles and the sound of firecrackers knocked more than a hundred enemy troops to the ground.
At this time, Du Guangting ordered to stop advancing and start charging.
The enemy's arrows continued to rain down, and people kept falling to the ground.
The Guardsmen ignored them and continued to charge.
Du Guangting waved his hand and shouted: "Free fire, no advance allowed."
At this time, it was a war of attrition.
Lead bullets and arrows from both sides came and went, and the fight was lively.
People kept screaming and falling to the ground.
Lu Xiangsheng looked through his binoculars and saw that the number of people falling to the ground on both sides was about the same.
Lu Xiangsheng was anxious.
This kind of war of attrition was too detrimental to the Guards.
Although the injuries of the Guards soldiers were lighter than those of the enemy, the number of Guards was less than that of the enemy, so they would inevitably retreat in the end.
So the wounded of the Guards It's like giving everything away.
He said to Wang Chengmin and Chen Liyuan: "This can't continue.
I'm afraid you two will be dispatched."
Wang Chengmin had long been worried and wanted to go down when he heard the sound, but Chen Liyuan looked troubled.
He naturally knew what his men were like.
At this time, if he was asked to lead people to attack Jiannu, most of the soldiers would not dare to Get out of town.
Lu Xiangsheng said: "We are not attacking Jian Nu.
General Chen, you and your people are responsible for retrieving the wounded of the Guards.
Wang Chengmin, you and your cavalry are responsible for covering the retreat of the second brigade.
Listen clearly, do not attack Jian Nu."
The two of them took the order and left.
Lu Xiangsheng called the artillery director and said: "Aim the muzzle at them.
If the Jian Nu come after you later, follow my order and fire the artillery to attack them."
Du Guangting was filled with regret at this time.
If he had known this, he should have arranged his troops into six rows or more, and he should have ordered the firing earlier.
In the current situation, if he rushed forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat, there would be too few people on his side.
The result will be even worse, and in the end the whole army will be completely destroyed.
But attacking with a firecracker like now doesn't have any advantage.
At this time, Wang Chengmin came behind him with the cavalry battalion.
Wang Chengmin shouted: "The division commander has given an order.
After General Chen took away the wounded, the second brigade slowly retreated.
Our cavalry battalion came to cover it."
At this time, Chen Liyuan had gathered some Han troops.
Lu Xiangsheng's messenger came forward and said: "Rescue a wounded man for ten taels of silver, and snatch a corpse for five taels of silver.
Take the money by hand at the gate of the city.

Be careful not to let the wounded get injured." aggravated."
The Han army was preparing to form a team in a desperate manner.
Most of them were thinking about how to escape this hard work.
Now when they heard about such a high reward, they immediately became more energetic.
They just needed to grab the wounded and bring them back.
There were many people in the front.
There are also guards blocking the way, so the safety is guaranteed first, and as long as five of them are snatched back, it will be fifty taels of silver.
I can't get more than ten taels of silver even if I stay here for a year.
This business is indeed successful.
So everyone was gearing up, and since there was no need to fight, there was no need to hold weapons.
They packed up their armor first, and then rushed outside
