Chapter 10 Three Thousand Tigers(1/2)
The side hall of the headquarters of the Aihui City Commander.
Erhe was quite straight when he was tied to Ye Zhao, tilting his neck, looking resentful. Seeing that he had fair skin and tender skin, he was not as good as Bayan said about the Wuyun River Warrior.
"Hold it, whip it for a hundred." Ye Zhao didn't even look at him, and savored the tea and studied the topographic map in his hand. Now the Rakshasa man is hiding in various strongholds in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang. The most outpost is naturally the Haishen Mountain City that once defeated Zhao Jingzhong's troops. There were always one or two thousand elite troops and Cossack soldiers, and a fort was built. If he attacked for a strong force, he would kill one thousand enemies and hurt himself by 800.
Nowadays, border clans everywhere have received strict orders and are not allowed to trade with Rakshasa people. Their grain supplies are heard from the sea to the east, and they think they are from Japan.
There are Japanese fishermen living in the south of Sakhalin Island. I just don’t know if Muravyov signed a contract with the Japanese government to share Sakhalin Island in this life. However, it is certain that the Rakshasa people bought food from the islands in the northern Sea of Japan.
If this supply line can be cut off by himself, the Rakshasa people will only have to seek peace. Unfortunately, there are not many fishing boats, but they can only think about it.
Just as Ye Zhao was thinking about it, Erhe was brought up. When he saw Ye Zhao's eyelids, he asked someone to pull him out and whip him. Erhe's lungs were almost pissed off. He had never been so humiliated in his life. He shouted loudly: "Jing Xiang! Don't be ungrateful..." Before he finished speaking, the soldier next to him was so angry that he was so angry that he could call him the name of General. Are you tired of living? "Papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa
Erhe even dreamed that a soldier would dare to beat him. He was stunned by the beating, and his face was burning and painful without realizing it.
Ye Zhao then looked up, waved his hand, and said, "Whip all 100 times, keep Aihui City as a military slave!"
The soldiers immediately "twisted" and then pushed Erhe and others out like wolves and tigers.
Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at the topographic map. Until Sharapova came out of nowhere and stood next to her for a while, she whispered: "Hungry." But she said it in Chinese.
Ye Zhao turned his head in shock and found that a red candle had been lit in the hall and dark curtains had already fallen outside.
Sharaba looked at her with her green eyes, making Ye Zhao laugh and cry. She was so happy that she ran to ask for food when she was hungry. Why did she feel similar to the little lion dog she raised in her previous life?
However, Ye Zhao himself was also hungry. Before he could see it, he stood up and said, "Then let's go and have a meal!"
Sharava seemed to understand, and immediately became very excited and ran ahead to lead the way, but she was familiar with the road and headed straight to the restaurant. Ye Zhao was even more shocked. She was too nervous, right? She was a human being in two lives and she had seen such a person for the first time.
When Su Na came to report that Lan Yu was visiting, Ye Zhao was reading the Spring and Autumn Period in his study. He was quite leisurely and elegant, but in fact he was drowsy. At noon, he should have a nap?
But Sharapova moved a chair and sat next to Ye Zhao, fiddling with Ye Zhao's jade ring with interest.
There was no way, but I didn't touch her for a few nights. It seemed that Sharapova knew that Ye Zhao was not a bad person. Now she liked to follow Ye Zhao the most. She didn't blame her. She was alone in a foreign country and wanted to be lonely and afraid. But two women from the bannermen were so cold that they didn't have a good face to this barbarian girl all day long. Occasionally, they were with Mad, and the soldiers she met showed fierce light on each side, which made her shudder, and she felt a little safe when she followed Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao was reading a book, but she kept talking, and from time to time, she popped up a few Chinese bytes, but she learned from Priest Mad.
Ye Zhao thought she was nagging, so she gave her the jade ring on her hand to play with. Then Sharapova calmed down and put Ye Zhao's jade ring on her slender fingers, gestured at the size, and she was having fun.
In fact, Ye Zhao is not tired of having such a blond and blue-eyed beauty talking around her. People always feel lonely, and it is normal for the opposite sex to attract each other. Although she has no inappropriate thoughts about Sharapova, it is quite interesting to be nagging around her.
But what makes Ye Zhao funny is that Sharapova has a Chinese spirit of being at peace since she came, but she eats well and sleeps well, and is energetic every day.
Suna knocked on the door and entered the study. She accidentally saw Sharaba stretching, her explosive figure almost broke into the cheongsam, which made Suna stunned. She quickly turned her head and her heart pounding. This beautiful girl with green eyes really had a unique charm and made people feel evil when she saw it.
"Lan Yu is here? OK, I'll meet him when I go out." Ye Zhao stood up with a smile, and Sharaba hurriedly stood up and prepared to go with Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao gestured: "You, stay."
The communication between the two became increasingly tacit. Sharaba knew that it was another occasion that she could not go to when she saw the gesture, so she had to say a few words, as if she was protesting, but she had to listen to Ye Zhao's words and sat back on the chair obediently.
Lan Yu was twenty-seven or eight years old and was born with a gentle and elegant appearance. He was the third son of a Duluo Prince in the capital. The prince died of illness and Lan Yu's fourth brother surrendered to attack Duluobelle. However, Lan Yu's title was just a general of Fengguo.
However, unlike the first meeting with Ye Zhao a few months ago, Lan Yu was very intimate this time. When she saw Ye Zhao enter the flower hall, she smiled and greeted him, held a gift, gently touched his shoulders with Ye Zhao, and said, "Little Prince is auspicious."
Only Ye Zhao's closest friend would call this little prince. After all, Ye Zhao has not been crowned the prince. Theoretically, if the concubine gave birth to another prince and the prince favored him, then Ye Zhao might not be able to inherit the title.
However, although Ye Zhao was surprised, his face was not revealed, and he smiled and said, "Third Brother, what wind has blown you?" He also shouted more affectionately.
Lan Yu glared at her eyes and cursed with a smile: "Prefer to me as an outsider! Why did you think I came here? Isn't that bastard Erge? Where is his head? I'll take it back to show it to his sister!"
Ye Zhao was really unable to guess Lan Yu's thoughts. While sending tea to invite Lan Yu to sit down, he said, "Erhe was extremely guilty. I whipped him a hundred times and was still recovering from his injuries. After healed, he would stay in Aihui City for life and be a military slave. Please don't blame the third brother."
Lan Yu frowned and scolded: "Why didn't you kill him a bastard!"
If you want to say a hundred whippings, it is not uncommon for those with weak constitutions to die from a life-threatening death.
Ye Zhao picked up the tea cup and savored the tea, but he was thinking about his purpose.
Lan Yu sighed at this time and said, "Little Prince, let me tell you the truth. When you first came outside the customs, I really looked down on you. The princes in Beijing are all bastards in my eyes. Like our fourth brother, driving an eagle and playing with birds and smoking opium will make the old man happy. Where can we fight?"
"At that time, I thought, our Prince Zheng's brother commanded the troops to fight against the Rakshasa people, so why don't he mess around? I think the land outside the pass is going to be handed over to the Rakshasa ghost. But I didn't expect that the little prince is actually a genius, and the famous generals of ancient times are just like this. In just a few months, I have won many victories. I am blind, so don't blame me for offending the last time!"
He spoke sincerely, and as he spoke, he even stood up and bowed his hands and said, "Lan Lao San, I'm sorry to you, the little prince!"
Ye Zhao stood up and avoided it, smiling and said, "The third brother is too proud of me, I dare not take it." If you want to know people, Ye Zhao never rubs sand in his eyes. For example, Ye Mingchen, a rank-in official who has been in the officialdom for decades, was beaten by Ye Zhao when he was in the crisis on the Hong Kong Island. He was angry at the time. After thinking about it carefully, he wrote a memorandum to cover up Ye Zhao, which made Fuliang feel depressed. This is also true that Ye Zhao knew Ye Mingchen's personality and prescribed the right medicine.
Now looking at Lan Yu, Ye Zhao could also feel that he was afraid that he would be very sincere in his words.
Lan Yu smiled and said, "The little prince must have thought I was here to plead for Erhe, but that was wrong. Erhe bastard, I wish I could chop his head by myself. The border tribes handed over the fur. It was a regular system. My three deputy governors also rewarded silver for their hair, but when they were mixed up by this bastard, it seemed like I was bullying the border tribe! Although I, Lan Lao San, are also a bastard, but I can tell the priority. The little prince is fighting with the Rakshasa people with one sword and one shot. How could I tear down your station behind my back? I have no shame to see my ancestors in chaos in military affairs!"
Ye Zhao nodded slightly, but he didn't expect that Lan Yu was really a sensible person, but he didn't look like the first impression he gave him.
Lan Yu said proudly: "Little Prince, if you have any assignment in the future, as long as you send a letter, you need food and soldiers, Lan Yu has nothing to say!"
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you, third brother, but Erhe is afraid that the third brother will be embarrassed in front of his sister-in-law when it comes to Erhe?"
Lan Yu smiled, a little embarrassed, scratched her head and said, "I'm not hiding it from you, it's a big fuss, but you didn't cut off the bastard's head, so I've saved face for the third brother. I'll have a way to cure her when I go back."
Ye Zhao liked Lan Yu's personality more and more, and smiled and said, "Third brother, just call me Jing Xiang."
Lan Yu waved his hand repeatedly and said, "You will definitely be crowned prince in a few years. Do I have to change my words then? What is called this? It doesn't matter what you call me, it's important to be intimate."
Ye Zhao was about to say something else, but suddenly there was a rushing footstep outside the side hall. A soldier rushed into the hall and beat a thousand: "Report! The Rakshasa Brigade of the Sea God City came out of the city and rushed to Aihui! There were more than a thousand people, about half of the musketeers and a quarter of the cavalry, which was still a day and a half away from Aihui."
Ye Zhao was stunned. The Sea God City was the castle adjacent to the Sea God Mountain at the forefront of the Rakshasa people. I don’t know what the Rakshasa people named themselves. The new legion of the Rakshasa people are called the Sea God City.
Why did he suddenly come out? This is not Muravyov's style.
Lan Yu opened her mouth in surprise. It was still a day and a half before the message arrived? There was no beacon tower to send alarm messages outside the pass. Even if there was a beacon tower, how could the other party’s number of people and equipment be described so thoroughly?
He didn't know what flag-language message tree, thousands of miles of mirrors, roaring birds and other tricks, and there were intelligence points every few miles away. Any movements between Sea God City and Aihui City could not escape the surveillance of intelligence personnel. Therefore, every time he exchanged fire with the Rakshasa people in the past, the new army bravely deployed military forces very quickly and gained the upper hand almost again. Until now, the Rakshasa people who are fighting now dare not leave the city.
Aihui City, is there anything they want in Aihui City? Is it because of the fierce gathering of troops to invade?
Ye Zhao's thoughts were so vivid that he immediately thought of his "Biying Pet". Is it because of her?
But no matter why it is good, it gave him an excellent opportunity. Ye Zhao pondered for a while and immediately said: "Tell me, Zuojiang and Youjiang Second Battalions work together to train each other to attack the Sea God City. Zhenwei Zhen and Zhenwu Third Battalions gather in the Bluestone Forest quickly!"
The soldiers were ordered to leave immediately.
Lan Yu sighed and said, "I originally wanted to have a drink and have fun with the little prince, but the little prince is busy with military affairs, so Lan Yu will not disturb him!" Looking at his expression, he felt sorry. After all, it took two or three days to get from Yilan to Aihui, which is quite inconvenient.
Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Why should I rush to leave? It's better to go with me to watch a big show."
Lan Yu's eyes lit up and she said embarrassedly: "No, it won't interfere with you, right?"
"No!" Ye Zhao stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go and make Luosha dumplings."
Lan Yu was overjoyed and smiled and said, "Okay, let's see the little prince's divine power!"
The bluestone forest, the river berth in the distance, was covered with ice. When Ye Zhao and Lan Yu were escorting the bluestone forest, the soldiers and soldiers were digging tunnels in the woods, and there were always one or two thousand people.
Gangan and Peter came up very quickly, and the government officials of the government, including God's Guard, Harrich, and others, supervised the soldiers to prepare for the war.
Peter was not adapted to the environment when he arrived outside the pass and could not participate in several wars. He was still sick now, with a pale face without a trace of blood. However, he had long admired Ye Zhao and was promising to the ground. He almost mentioned joining the new army when he saw Ye Zhao. However, today's war is urgent, so naturally there will be no trouble.
Gang'an whispered beside Ye Zhao: "Sir, you have sent a sentry to attack the Cossack cavalry five miles away."
Ye Zhao nodded slightly. There must be a small team of Cossack cavalry exploring the way forward, and this whistle is bait, which will be discovered by the Cossack cavalry, and will also fight with the Rakshasa brigade, and will be defeated, luring its brigade to pursue it.
Ye Zhao thought for a moment and said, "I suspect that the troops dug a trench and ordered the Changfu team to send a group of horses to resist horses. We must fight bravely! The longer you persist, the better. Pay attention to annihilation of the opponent's cavalry." Otherwise, if you are defeated, you will be charged by the opponent's cavalry, and you will be afraid that the hundred-man team will all die under the opponent's cavalry. And the longer you persist, the more severe the attack on the Rakshasa people, the more the opponent will think they are ambushers.
"Yes!" As soon as An agreed, he rushed to send an order.
Ye Zhao then turned his head to Lan Yu and said, "Let's go, find a stray bullet that will not hurt our land!" The new army soldiers following Ye Zhao knew the little prince's temper and smiled, but who dared to really think that the little prince was afraid of death?
After arriving at a mound, Ye Zhao took out another wrinkled cigar. On the boat sent canned food from Shanghai, he always brought him a few boxes of cigars. Now, a cigar before the battle has become Ye Zhao's habit.
Following Ye Zhao, Lan Yu could clearly feel the pressure of his orders and the admiration of the generals and soldiers. Seeing the young prince who was in his early twenties smoking silently, Lan Yu felt a little strange. What does this star rising brightly in the northern border of the empire mean?
When gunfire sounded faintly in the distance, it was dark night. Lan Yu crawled up and stood on the mound and looked northeast. He could not see anything else in the dark curtain, and could only see a faint light of fire.
Turning back to look, he saw Ye Zhao's face was serious. Lan Yu didn't feel strange and asked, "Little Prince, is there anything wrong?"
Ye Zhao shook his head slightly, but when he heard the gunshots gradually faded, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard more violent gunshots, and the people and horses were neighing.
As night fell, the Cossack cavalry who thought the other side found the ambush. They were originally going to retreat, but they found that the ambush was not large, so they notified the brigade to prepare to annihilate the ambush.
It was just 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning, and there were more than ten hours before dawn. How could the sentry bravery support him? If he was defeated in the dark, I think the Rakshasa team would not pursue him.
Gang'an soon hurried over and stood beside Ye Zhao without saying a word. He naturally thought of the same problem and waited for Ye Zhao to make a decision.
"Go and notify them to withdraw! Zhenhe Battalion is ready to respond." Ye Zhao didn't know how to bet. These are all elite soldiers who have experienced many battles. So what if they lasted for ten hours? I'm afraid there are not a few people left, so this kind of ambush is meaningless.
"Zhe!" Gang An turned around and summoned the messenger and said a few words. The messenger quickly got on his horse and galloped away.
For more than half an hour, the gunshots gradually became sparse. I thought the ambush was withdrawn from the position, but the Rakshasa people did not come to chase after him.
More than half an hour later, the messenger ordered the soldiers to arrive, and dismounted to Ye Zhaohe Gang'an, and reported: "The people of Rakshasa have already camped."
Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "It's above the mound." The terrain icons in this area are very detailed. Ye Zhao thought that he would also know that the commander of Rakshasa would definitely choose the condescending mound to camp.
"Yes!" The messenger was full of admiration, and he thought to himself that the commander was really a clever plan.
Ye Zhao thought for a while, called Gang'an, and smiled and said, "We won't be ambushed anymore. I'm afraid I can't make Rakshasa steamed dumplings when I'm waiting here."
Gang'an was also a little discouraged. The plan to lure troops failed for no reason. It can only be said that man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "For this Rakshasa dumpling, we can only come over and eat it, otherwise we may not be able to eat it."
GangAndao: "Night attack?"
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It's considered a night attack, but the Rakshasa people must be wary, so let's fight the weary army."
Colonel Romanov was the only son of a great prince from Petersburg. When he heard that the empire was expanding in the East encountered resistance from the Chinese, he bid farewell to his father and came to the East to make achievements. He wanted to get rid of his father's shadow, and the resistance of the Chinese was so weak that he firmly believed that in the Far East, the power of the empire would not be threatened.
To be continued...
