There was no fire or water to boil. All the soldiers ate fried noodles and took a sip of boiled water from the kettle to drink the food in their mouths from time to time.
Fried noodles are easy to carry and eat. They can be eaten after being dipped in water and kneaded into balls. They can also be eaten dry. Compared with dry pancakes that cannot be chewed, they can satisfy hunger better.
"Come a few people and follow me to the front to have a look!" Zhao Wu greeted his personal guards and prepared to go to Nanguan with his personal guards. @精品\/书馆*First update~~
There were more than thirty people in his personal guard, which in later generations was organized into a platoon.
"Ying Zheng, let me go!" Wang Ju stood up from the ground.
Zhao Wu pressed his hand towards him and said: "I need to see the situation in Nanguan Island and the slave thieves with my own eyes so that I can prepare in advance for the next thing."
He had only heard how powerful the slave thieves were before, but this time he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
"Then I'll go with you." Seeing that Zhao Wu insisted on going, Wang Ju decided to do the next best thing and wanted to go with Zhao Wu to explore the situation in Nanguan Island.
Zhao Wu waved his hand and said: "You still need to keep an eye on this side. It's enough for me to go there with my personal guards. We're not going to the battlefield. We're just watching from a distance. There won't be any danger."
After saying that, he called to his personal guards and rushed towards the direction where the gunfire came from.
"Stop looking and hurry up and eat." Wang Ju said to the soldiers around him. He walked to a cleaner ground and sat down cross-legged. He took out the fried noodles and ate them one bite at a time.
Eating fried noodles is not like eating at a banquet, where there are so many plates and bowls, and the meal will not last for an hour. Basically, all the soldiers will eat almost the same amount in a short time.
Some soldiers after eating simply lay on the ground and squinted their eyes to fall asleep.
After almost half a stick of incense had passed, Zhao Wu and his people rushed back from the direction of Nanguan Island.
When Wang Ju saw it, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Have you finished eating?" Zhao Wu asked directly after seeing Wang Ju.
Wang Ju said: "We've almost eaten. When are we going to attack Nanguan Island?"
"Don't worry, the officers and soldiers of Nanguan Island can still hold on for the time being." Zhao Wu took out his dry food and sat on the ground to eat it.
Not only him, but the guards who came back with him also took out food and started eating.
Wang Ju held a kettle in his hand and handed it to Zhao Wu, and asked: "Is the slave bandit really attacking Nanguan Island?"
"Well, the slave thieves sent out more than a thousand people." Zhao Wu swallowed the food in his mouth, took the kettle and took a sip of water.
After hearing this, Wang Ju asked: "What should we do next? Should we attack Nanguan Island or deal with the slave thieves first?"
The slave thieves came to attack Nanguan Island, and both of them knew in their hearts that the news of their Tiger-Character Banner's attack on Lushun had been known to the slave thieves side.
The slave thieves took advantage of the fact that the Ming army was about to deal with their Tiger Flag and came to Nanguan Island to take advantage.
"What do you think?" Zhao Wu looked up and asked Wang Ju while eating the food.
Wang Ju thought for a while and said: "I think we can deal with the slaves and thieves first. After all, the Ming army guarding Nanguan Island are also Han people. No matter how we fight with the Ming army, we cannot let foreigners take advantage."
"That's quite an idea." Zhao Wu said, and then added, "I won't help anyone. Now I just plan to watch the fun."
"Ah!" Wang Ju was stunned for a moment.
I didn't expect Zhao Wu to have such thoughts.
Zhao Wu looked up at him and said: "Nanguan Island has artillery, but we don't have siege equipment. We rely on human lives. We don't know how many casualties our 1,800 people will suffer. The slaves who attacked Nanguan Island also brought artillery, but the number is limited." A little less than South Guam.”
"Then just watch from the sidelines?" Wang Ju asked again unwillingly.
There are rumors everywhere in Liaodong that there are less than ten thousand slaves and thieves, and they are invincible.
The Ming army no longer had much appeal to him, and now he just wanted to fight against the slave thieves and prove that he was stronger than the slave thieves.
Zhao Wu ate the last bit of fried noodles in his hand, drank some more from the water bottle and put it into his stomach, and then said: "Don't rush to do it, our cannons haven't arrived yet. When our cannons arrive, it won't be too late to start a fight." .”
Both sides on the battlefield had artillery, but he was in a hurry and didn't bring the artillery with him. He didn't want his soldiers to become targets for the artillery on both sides.
"Let's take us to the gates in Qingniwa. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 2261 Sit back and watch the storm
The cannon should be delivered in about an hour! "Wang Ju pursed his lips.
Zhao Wu patted Wang Ju's shoulder with his hand and said: "The situation is too small. What I am waiting for is the cannon shipped ashore from the sea."
"How long will it take to wait?" Wang Ju looked bitter.
He was still sure that he would see the three cannons brought to Qingniwa within an hour or so, but the same could not be said for the cannons transported from the sea.
When they left Qingniwa, the cannon had not been shipped ashore.
Zhao Wu said: "As long as the officers and soldiers of Nanguan Island can still defend it, we don't have to worry. We can just wait and see. When Nanguan Island cannot be defended, or the slaves and traitors retreat, it will not be too late to take action."
His mission was to occupy Nanguan Island and prevent the slave thieves from advancing further west.
Therefore, regardless of whether Nan Guan Island is in the hands of the Ming army or in his hands, the slave thieves have no way to cross Nan Guan Island and march westward. Moreover, once Lushun is captured by the Tiger Flag, the Ming army in Nan Guan Island will become a lonely army and will be captured sooner or later. things.
About half an hour later, artillery fire from the direction of South Guam sounded again.
"It seems that the slave thieves have started attacking again. Let's go and have a look." The team had almost rested, and Zhao Wu led the team to Nanguan Island. First update@
The resting place is not too far from South Guam.
The team walked less than a mile and came to a high slope. They could clearly see the slave soldiers and horses outside the South Guam Dunbao attacking the city.
Through the monocular telescope, Zhao Wu could even clearly see the Ming army on the fortress wall.
"This is the first attack." Wang Ju squatted down next to Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu held up a monocular telescope in his hand and said: "Two or three times! These slave thieves are really fierce. They climbed up the city wall when arrows were missing. Looking at the corpses outside the wall, I am afraid there are some. There are hundreds of them.”
"The officers and soldiers of Nanguan Island will not be able to defend it anymore." Wang Ju said suddenly.
Through the monocular, he saw slave thieves boarding the fort wall.
However, the slave thieves who climbed onto the fort wall did not last long and were driven off the fort wall again.
Zhao Wu said: "The Ming army in Nanguan Island is no worse than the soldiers and horses of the slaves and thieves. They are equally brave and brave. They are all such bloody men. However, the Ming Dynasty lost a large area of land in Liaodong and could only huddle on the Ningjin line. What a shame for these good guys.”
"Yingzheng, we are sorry for this now. I think if the slave bandits charge again, Nanguan Island will not be able to withstand it." Wang Ju said in his mouth while looking at the situation on the battlefield.
Zhao Wudao: "Don't worry, wait and see."
Seeing what he said, Wang Ju could only continue to observe the situation on the battlefield in the distance with a monocular telescope.
