The scouts of the Denglai New Army were much harder than the scouts of the Manchu Eight Banners. From the day the Denglai New Army occupied Gaizhou, they tried every means to continuously investigate Yaozhou, Haizhou and even Liaoyang and Liaoyang.

The situation in Shenyang.

In terms of population management, the Hou Jin Dynasty was not as standardized and strict as the Ming Dynasty. However, the strange hairstyles of the Hou Jin Tatars and the Han people in Liaodong made it difficult for the scouts who went to investigate. With no other solution, some specially responsible

Scouts who go out for reconnaissance also have their heads shaved to make it easier to go out for reconnaissance.

Intelligence is constantly coming to Wu Zongrui.

The sergeants stationed in Gaizhou were busy day and night, transporting large amounts of money and people through Lianyun Island in warships.

Gaizhou is only a few dozen miles away from Lianyun Island. In order to keep it secret, Denglai's new army transported them exclusively at night, and all of them were transported by horse-drawn carriages. They almost always set off at midnight. At dawn, the warships had already left.

Lianyun Island, went to Lushun Island or Dengzhou and other places.

The scouts of Houjin's Tatars had no way of detecting any information.

Liu Ning, the commander-in-chief of Laizhou who was stationed in Yongning, followed Wu Zongrui's order and transported money, food, and people by land to Beixunkou, and then took warships to Jinzhou, Pi Island, Lushun Island and other places.

The sergeants of the Denglai New Army are on tight alert and are always in a state of combat readiness without any negligence.

The screening process for surrendering to the Han army was basically completed. More than 3,000 people were incorporated into the new Denglai army and had to undergo rigorous training every day. The rest of the former Han army sergeants who were not able to enter the army were either transported

They were transferred to Lushun Island, Jinzhou and other places and became local people. They were either transported to Dengzhou and then sent back to their place of origin, or they were detained.

In mid-August, Gaizhou City was almost evacuated, and almost all the money, food, and population had been transferred.

As for places like Yongning and Fuzhou, what is left is almost an empty city.

Gaizhou City, Asha's residence.

Liao Wenru, Luo Dianyong, Luo Diazhao, Qin Dalong and others all entered the room.

Putting down the documents in his hands and looking at the people coming in, Wu Zongrui showed a smile on his face.

"You have all worked hard during this period, but you must not be careless. Our work is not finished yet. Starting tonight, all the sergeants stationed in Gaizhou will be evacuated in two groups, one from Lianyun Island by warship

Evacuate, all the way from the direction of Yongning and Fuzhou, and all of them will be evacuated within two days."

Wu Zongrui's sudden decision surprised Liao Wenru and others.

Liao Wenru looked at everyone and spoke.

"Sir, the money, food and supplies, including the population, in Gaizhou City have almost been relocated. The soldiers have no worries and can attack Yaozhou tentatively. Gaizhou is less than a hundred miles away from Yaozhou. According to the news detected by the scouts, Yaozhou has not

Strengthen the alert. There are not many Houjin Tatars stationed there. I think we can try an attack to at least make the Houjin Tatars uneasy..."

Wu Zongrui shook his head slightly.

"Wenru, according to the intelligence from the capital, the Houjin Tatars from Datong and Xuanfu have all withdrawn their troops since they arrived yesterday. Judging from the time, the Houjin Tatars should have taken some action."

Having said this, Wu Zongrui walked towards the map hanging on the wall.

"Haizhou, Yaozhou, Liaoyang and other places have Houjin Tatars and some Mongolian Tatars stationed there. Nearly ten days have passed and they may be about to take action. Denglai's new army captured Fuzhou.

Yongning, Gaizhou and other places left the rear of the Houjin Tatars in a state of complete chaos. In this way, Huang Taiji could not rest assured to wreak havoc in the pass and quickly withdrew his troops. Tell me what their next move will be."

Wu Zongrui looked at everyone.

"If it were me, I would definitely hold back the Denglai New Army. It is not difficult to do this. Daishan, Duduo, Jierhalang and others can definitely do it as long as they make up their minds. If we After being dragged back to Shenyang, will Huang Taiji give up? He must have led a large army to encircle and suppress us."

"The scouts have been paying attention to the situation in Haizhou and Yaozhou. These days have passed, and there has been no sign of the Houjin Tatars increasing their troops. This situation is very strange, and it is not impossible for them to make no movement."

"In the past two days, I suddenly understood that Huang Taiji was still fighting in the pass, without a leader. The Houjin Tatars in Shenyang were unable to make a decision. They must be waiting for Huang Taiji's order. Counting the time, Huang Taiji's order should be It’s time to arrive.”

"The time when Huang Taiji's edict arrives is the time for Hou Jin's Tatars to take action."

"Don't underestimate the Houjin Tatars. Their actions are extremely fast."

"Scouts can only detect the situation in places such as Yaozhou and Haizhou, but cannot clearly detect the situation in Liaoyang and Shenyang. We cannot obtain this information. If we wait until the situation in Yaozhou and Haizhou changes, our evacuation actions , it became a bit rushed.”

"We don't yet have the capital to fight a decisive battle with the Houjin Tatars."

"Okay, let's not say more. Wen Ru, order all the soldiers to get ready. Tonight, Luo Dianzhao and Qin Dalong will lead 60% of the troops to Lianyun Island. All the warships stationed on Lianyun Island will arrive early tomorrow morning. All march, all the infantry, and part of the cavalry, leave in the warships."

"Early tomorrow morning, all the remaining sergeants will leave Gaizhou and go to Yongning."

"Liu Ning, who is stationed in Yongning, must also make all preparations. When the troops evacuated from Gaizhou arrive in Yongning, they will immediately withdraw from Yongning and head to Fuzhou."

"The warships stationed at Beixunkou must be prepared. After all the troops arrive at Beixunkou, they will leave by boat."

"Five thousand soldiers are still stationed on Pi Island and Jinzhou, and 10,000 soldiers are stationed on Lushun Island. The rest of the soldiers will all return to Dengzhou. All the grain, grass and money harvested this time will be distributed according to proportion, 30% on Pi Island and 30% on Jinzhou. , Lushun Island is 40%. Within this year, Dengzhou will basically not provide food and grass for Lushun Island, Jinzhou and Pi Island."

...

After dark, the sergeants stationed in Gaizhou began to be busy.

The army is going to Lianyun Island. There is no need to cover up its whereabouts. Anyway, this time it is taking a warship to Lushun Island and Jinzhou and other places. It does not matter even if the scouts of the Houjin Tatars detect it.

All those evacuating towards Yongning and Fuzhou were cavalry, one man and two horses, to ensure the speed of the evacuation.

At Haishi, a large army began to move towards Lianyun Island. Most of them were cavalry, with a small number of infantry. There were also three or five Hongyi cannons, some Franchise machines and artillery.

Wu Zongrui personally sent the army out of the city gate and specifically warned Luo Dianzhao and Qin Dalong. He was simply warning them not to waste time and leave Lianyun Island after boarding the ship and return to Lushun Island.

...

Before dawn, all the cavalry ready to evacuate were ready.

Gaizhou City was unusually deserted. There were very few people who did not leave. Almost all of them were old and physically unable to leave. Wu Zongrui did not force it.

When the city gate opened and the army was about to set off, the scouts rushed towards the city gate.

When the scout saw Wu Zongrui, he dismounted, knelt on one knee and reported.

"Report, there is movement in the direction of Yaozhou, Houjin Tatars are coming towards Gaizhou, the estimated strength is more than 5,000 people..."

"Got it, order all the scouts to evacuate quickly and go to Yongning. If you arrive in Yongning and the army has already evacuated, then quickly go to Fuzhou. Remember, evacuate as quickly as possible and you must arrive before the army takes the warship.

, if we don’t catch up, you can evacuate overland in the direction of Pi Island.”

The scout saluted again, stood up, mounted his horse, and left quickly.

Wu Zongrui looked at Liao Wenru beside him and smiled.

"It seems that Houjin Tatar wants to hold us back. He has some ideas and orders the army to quickly evacuate Gaizhou and head towards Yongning. He sends scouts again to Yongning and tells Liu Ning to make all preparations.

After we arrived in Yongning, the army would not rest and evacuated towards Fuzhou. All the armies met in Fuzhou and prepared to go back on warships."

"The march is very lonely, but with Houjin Tatar accompanying me, it is much more lively."

"The warships on Lianyun Island have set off long ago. Relatively speaking, they are much safer. It is impossible for Hou Jin's Tatars to swim to chase them..."

After Wu Zongrui finished speaking, Liao Wenru, Qin Dalong and others also laughed.

On the official road, a sky full of yellow sand suddenly appeared.

...

The eight thousand sergeants led by Daishan were marching at a very fast pace. He wanted to go to Gaizhou immediately and surround Gaizhou. Before the dispatched scouts reported the intelligence they had detected, Daishan urged the army to advance at full speed.

Although Denglai's new army showed good combat effectiveness, Daishan still felt that the Ming army's combat effectiveness was weak. He knew that both Asha and Gebatai despised the Ming army. Perhaps it was because of their contempt that they were annihilated by the Ming army.

.

In terms of tactical arrangements, Daishan would never underestimate the Ming Dynasty's Denglai New Army, but in terms of strategy, he still looked down on the Ming Army, even if it was the Denglai New Army that caused heavy damage to Zhenghong Banner.

The yellow sand on the official road has almost never dissipated.

Daishan is at the front of the team. Although he is a bit older, the courage he shows is still something that no one dares to underestimate.

Finally, we saw the figure of the scout ahead.

When the scout dismounted, his face turned a little pale.

Seeing the scout's expression, Daishan's face turned pale. He suppressed his emotions and looked at the scout kneeling on the ground.

"Report, the Ming army in Gaizhou may have evacuated..."

"Shua..."

The whip in Daishan's hand was thrown away, and the scout who was struck by the whip remained motionless.

"Nonsense, according to the intelligence obtained in the past two days, the Ming army in Gaizhou is still stationed. How did they know that we would attack Gaizhou and hold them back? They finally occupied Gaizhou and were thinking of attacking Haizhou and Yaozhou.

How could you evacuate the place and then conduct reconnaissance? If you lie about the military situation, I will definitely chop your head off..."

After the scouts left, Daishan spoke to Zuo Meile who was beside him.

"Order all sergeants to go to Gaizhou City as quickly as possible."

The army suddenly accelerated and headed towards Gaizhou.
