No matter which regime kills almost one-fifth of its elite army by the enemy at once, it will not take its enemies lightly, let alone the ambitious Nguyen Dynasty, which has just recovered from the joy of Chenla's great victory, and has not yet recovered from the joy of Chenla's great victory, when the Qingfeng Battalion came to Beiguang to be so slapped, and there is no one in the entire court who is qualified to participate in this matter who is not stunned.
Although Ruan Tian has led the army for many years, he has always been known for his good fighting, not for his domineering, although his starting point is good, take advantage of the momentum of a big victory, and then go north with the whole army to unify Da Viet, such an idea is very beautiful to think about, but it is always much worse than success.
The battle of Beiguang, after calming down, immediately sent his son general to report back urgently, without the slightest concealment, he did not dare to conceal it, he clearly knew that if he lied about the military situation, it might bring much passivity to the Ruan Dynasty, in his heart, this Qingfeng Battalion is definitely not a small thing to plunder the place, but a force that has the ability to fight against the Ruan Dynasty.
In particular, this force is also inextricably linked to Daming, and for a while, he didn't dare to make any moves except to collect the defeated troops and strengthen the defense.
It's a bit funny to say, right, that is, nearly 20,000 people were lost in Beiguang, and the soldiers and horses in Ruan Tian's hands at this moment were still several times that of the Qingfeng Battalion, and he actually took the initiative to take the defensive position and no longer tried to attack.
However, the military report arrived in Thang Long, and the whole court did not feel that there was anything wrong with Ruan Tian's move, His Royal Highness the Prince has always been cautious in the use of troops, and no matter how cautious he is at this joint, he can't be too cautious.
Whether it is a rout or a pawn of the Ming army, figuring out this will have a crucial impact on the next step of the Ruan Dynasty.
The reply from the court was quickly sent back to Beiguang, and King Ruan even sent some officials to come to the army to boost morale, no matter what the origin of the Qingfeng camp was, the only thing that was certain was that in the east of Beiguang, the Ruan Dynasty would not let them go any further.
At the beginning, Prime Minister Ruan Cheng and Ruan Wen had planned to give Lin Wushuang an official position to recruit them, but it had been shelved, and now it was taken out by Ruan Wen and others, which probably meant a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.
At the same time, he also brought more than a dozen sealed Hongwu cannons, which were captured by Ruan Tian with great difficulty, and it took a lot of effort to send them to Thang Long, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned his head, he sent them back from Thang Long.
"The Zheng family is ready to move again, most of the people in the royal capital don't know the situation here, however, this news can't be hidden for a long time, if His Royal Highness can fight a beautiful turnaround battle in time, the small impact of the previous defeat will also disappear immediately" After retreating, Ruan Wen and Ruan Tian were talking face-to-face, at this time, Ruan Wen represented not only himself.
"I'm ashamed of Brother Wang" Ruan Tian shook his head slightly: "It's not that my Dayue's soldiers and horses are not elite and brave, it's really the firearms of the Ming people, and they can't be guarded against, even if they have such sharp weapons as firearms, they still use conspiracy to drown my Dayue soldiers, such dirty practices, there are only these Ming people who say one thing in their mouths, and in fact they do another set of Ming people."
"The Ming people are on strict alert, the news that our spies have sent back, Pingyue Prefecture and these states and counties next to my Ruan Dynasty are heavily guarded, although it is unusual, but there is no movement of the army to assemble, and there is no large amount of grain transported to Pingyue Prefecture, the court unanimously believes that this forest bandit may have some unclear relationship with the Ming Dynasty, but it seems that the Ming Dynasty does not drive them and then pick up the cheap in the back" "The Ming people won't send troops, this is the only good news I've heard these days" Ruan Tian's face was slightly happy, if the Ming Dynasty did not send troops, the Qingfeng Battalion, which was less than 10,000 people, although it was a difficult bone to gnaw, but frowning, Ruan Chao would still eat them.
"Probably not, King Ruan's meaning, if this forest bandit is entrenched in the Beiguang area, there is no sign of eastward advancement, you might as well confront them while leading this scourge to the Zheng family, there are some things, Your Highness didn't know before, this time, I will also tell you by the way, before His Royal Highness conquered this forest bandit, the forest bandit had sent people to contact our court, of course, their requirements are nothing more than to ask for a name, an official position, and a territory, and it was me who contacted the people he sent at the beginning, and I underestimated them.
At that time, I only cared about making a false mistake with them, buying time for the return of His Royal Highness's army, but I didn't expect them to have the same idea, I think about it from the beginning, they didn't plan to get along with our Ruan Dynasty, in this case, let the Zheng family also have a headache, and for my dynasty, it is also good" "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult" Ruan Tian shook his head: "From Guangping to Beiguang, all the way to the east, they have no naval army, this long-distance and close attack is the most cost-effective, as long as the Zheng family does not take the initiative to provoke them, I am afraid that they will continue to develop towards our side, Brother Wang's plan is too wishful thinking" "Of course, if they don't know the interest and think that my Ruan Dynasty is a soft persimmon, then His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't have to be polite, how to deal with the Zhenla people at the beginning, now how we deal with them, no matter how strong he is, there are only more than 10,000 people and horses, not to mention fighting with them, even if it is dragging, we can also drag them to death, Quang Binh, the size of a projectile, can it really support such a team of soldiers and horses?"
"No, they won't drag, if I am their general, it is best to feed the war with war, the soldiers' food can be robbed in other people's homes, he doesn't worry about the problem of supply at all, I estimate that they will soon attack us tentatively, I'm afraid, before the spring flood comes, their firearms are powerful, but once the spring rain lasts, their firearms will not be of much use" Ruan Tian shook his head and said.
"Your Highness, you are wrong" King Ruan took out a yellow and clear bullet from his side, "This is the projectile of the firearm sent by the envoy sent by the Lin bandits, you see, the gunpowder is encapsulated in metal, and if it rains or not, it should not have much impact on them, even if it rains, their firearms can still be fired, and those who can deal with firearms, of course, the best is firearms, this time there are more than two hundred firearms in the palace, or these sent by the Lin bandits, plus the cannons that His Highness sent to Wang Dukuwu last time, I brought them, How Your Highness makes proper use of these firearms, naturally I don't need to say more, as long as those firearms of the forest bandits are gone, exterminating them will be nothing to my elite."
"Da Shuai" The two of them stopped talking in unison and looked outside, when the two of them were talking secretly, Ruan Tian had already explained, and no one was allowed to come in and disturb.
Ruan Tian's face sank, and he was not angry: "Didn't you say anything, don't disturb us?"
"Marshal, Guangping City is urgent, the Ming soldiers and horses set off from Guangping in three ways this morning, coming to our army" The people outside the door responded loudly: Please make a decision."
"It's really coming" Ruan Wen's face turned slightly, and he was ashamed to say that Lin Wushuang might not be heading towards Beiguang, and in the blink of an eye, people had already come over with a large army, which was simply a slap in the face to him.
Ruan Tian's face was not much better, he was still waiting for the arrival of the spring flood, racking his brains to wonder, whether it was to return Lin Wushuang to flood Guangping, but he didn't expect that this New Year had only been a few days, and people couldn't hold it back more than them.
"Let the horses come, the ones who want to die, then let them die" He said in a low voice: "Send spies, I want detailed information, the number of soldiers and horses, who will lead the troops, and at the same time order the whole army to be on strict alert" The people outside the door hurried away, Ruan Wen looked at Ruan Tian, and he was not interested in speaking for a while.
"It's time for them to taste the taste of firearms themselves" Ruan Tian smiled coldly: "The cannons you brought are all placed on the city."
"Do you feel that the two of us seem to be two deserters" On the way from Guangping to Pingyue Prefecture, Lin Wushuang smiled and said to his wife: "Our soldiers and horses are heading towards the enemy, but we are running backwards, isn't it a bit ironic?"
"Are there any deserters in the Qingfeng Battalion?"
asked Qian Ningji rhetorically.
"There shouldn't be" Lin Wushuang wasn't quite sure, "Even if it's the soldiers recruited from Xinglong Prefecture brought back by Datian, it doesn't seem to be a desertion, the treatment of our Qingfeng Battalion, even if it's the emperor's Imperial Forest Army, it's just that, it's not that I boast about myself, I have enough money and good weapons, and one person is a soldier, it's enough to feed a large family, if there are deserters, then I can only be blamed for being unpopular."
"That's it, there are no deserters in the Qingfeng Battalion, how can you, the leader of the Qingfeng Battalion, be a deserter" Qian Ningji shook her head: "Actually, sometimes I think that if Xianggong doesn't have his own business, even if he is not a native of Daming, the two of us can also find a pastoral with good mountains and rivers in Daming, and live a quiet life.
The smile on Lin Wushuang's face faded, Qian Ningji's mood, he could understand, although Qian Ningji had now chosen her husband among her husband and father, but the two most important men in her life, if there was no barrier at all, how good it would be.
"Maybe, one day" Lin Wushuang muttered, he didn't know, when this thing would be a head, maybe it was the active end, perhaps, it was because of the passive end of these skills that he had lost his luck, one thing he knew very well was that this thing would not go on like this forever, either he would complete the task and return to his own world, or, he would stay here with his small group, there would be no third possibility, of course he hoped that no matter which possibility, The two girls around me who are deeply affectionate to me will be by their side.
"Sir, it's almost there" The soldiers who were exploring the road in front turned around from the front on horseback, shouted loudly, and turned around this low grove, and the continuous city wall of Pingyue Prefecture appeared in front of them.
"What people" at the head of the city, I saw a group of people in front of me from a distance, riding horses and holding weapons, and they had already begun to warn, Pingyue Prefecture has been closed for more than a month, and there are some people who secretly used money to bring out of the customs at night, but this is the first time that people from Dayue have come with such fanfare.
"Qingfeng Camp Lin Wushuang, come to visit General Sun, the general of Pingyue Prefecture" Lin Wushuang and Qian Ningji stopped their horses together, and saw their subordinates shouting loudly at the city, the two looked at each other and smiled slightly, the trace of resentment that Qian Ningji had stirred up just now didn't know where they were thrown at the moment.
"You wait" The soldiers on the head of the city responded loudly, probably to ask for instructions, but as soon as Lin Wushuang's name was reported, many soldiers on the city head looked at the people below with some curiosity, as the soldiers who relied on the mountains and the water to eat the water, those merchants who gave them silver in order to pass the customs, the place where they wanted to go was not Guangping of the Qingfeng Camp, where they had heard of the prosperity for a long time, but they had never had the opportunity to see it, and the master of Guangping today actually appeared in front of them like this.
It's strange that they don't satisfy their curiosity The time of observation was not long, almost a stick of incense, the city gate opened, a group of soldiers and horses came out, and when she saw the leading general, Qian Ningji smiled slightly.
"Sun Hao, Sun Youdao's eldest son, the guerrilla general of Pingyue Prefecture, it seems that Xianggong, your face is not big enough, Sun Youdao did not come out in person" "Don't talk nonsense, my father-in-law and son-in-law, everyone knows who they will accompany us" Lin Wushuang chuckled lightly and stepped forward: "Guerrilla Sun, I have heard Brother Ling mention you many times, but I didn't expect that this reputation is always better than meeting" "Lin Guerrilla praised, my father received a letter from Yulin before, and said that he didn't know when Lin Guerrilla would come over, and he had the heart to send someone to greet him, but he was afraid of causing a misunderstanding" Sun Hao first explained the reason for his sluggishness, and then smiled at Qian Ningji: "Hello Mrs.
Lin, it's been hard all the way, and a place has been arranged in the town guard mansion for the two of you to rest."
"I'm tired" Qian Ningji smiled lightly, and everyone's beautiful demeanor was fully displayed in this smile.
The place that Pingyue Prefecture arranged for Lin Wushuang and his entourage was not a town guard mansion, but an inn, Pingyue Prefecture Qian Ningji was much more familiar than Lin Wushuang, she had come and gone here many times, and after Sun Hao, who was in charge of bringing them over, left, she explained to Lin Wushuang softly: "This is also one of the best places in Pingyue Prefecture, it seems that this Sun Shen General does not have the intention to snub you."
"Also, his son is still listening to errands under me, so he is not afraid that I will put on small shoes for his son" Lin Wushuang looked around: "I don't think I blame him, but since your father is here, he must clear it up, if this is to take us directly to the town guard mansion, then don't you tell your father, his grandson family and my Qingfeng camp are in cahoots, he, the town guard general, should he be a general?"
