Text_Chapter 436 Fighting Bears
For the battle of Salhu, Zhu Youxiao is naturally no stranger, whether it is in the past life or in this life, the battle of Salhu has always been the goal of his awakening, which is why it is clear that the army of 100,000 can directly push Lin Dan Khan, but he still took 200,000 people to the grassland on an expedition. γLatest chapter reading. γ
It is to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and to reproduce the tragic results of the Battle of Sarhu. As for why only 100,000 iron horsemen were waiting this time, it was natural that your strength as a female was not as strong as Mongolia's, and you came with a foundation.
In general, the Jianzhou Jurchens only had a population of 300,000 or 400,000, and when they moved north to Qiqihar, they left in a hurry, and they did not bring the old and weak, only women and children.
The troops, under the exhaustive search of Huang Taiji, reluctantly restored the Eight Banners, and it is also a mixed formation of Jurchen Mongolia, as for the combat effectiveness, it is far inferior. Not to mention the equipment, the combat experience and morale alone are far inferior to the Nuer Hachi era.
However, Huang Taiji still has to fight this battle, there is no way, the people's hearts are like this, at this time, the middle and high-level of the Jurchen clan are all young people, not even an old and respectful person, young and vigorous is not described.
They didn't participate in the battle of preferring to die, they only saw Huang Taiji's embarrassment and escape, and only saw those small tribes that they chased with thousands and hundreds of combat power to scatter the Jurchens and flee in all directions, and a series of hunting victories boosted their confidence, and they swelled up, feeling that the Ming Dynasty was just like that, and it was just relying on the strength of the terrain to block the Jurchens and cut off the logistical retreat.
This time, if his side is well prepared, he will definitely not lose, and maybe he will be able to repeat the battle of Sarhu and sweep the entire Liaodong again.
It's just that the young generals are high-spirited, but Huang Taiji, as the leader, is full of sorrow, and no one knows the combat effectiveness of the Ming army better than him.
After the defeat, he continued to listen to the army led by the Ming Emperor, and finally got the news of half a claw, combined with the insights provided by the spy who brought it back, he finally had a clearer understanding of the current situation.
The entire Ming Dynasty, now the other armies have nothing to worry about, only the Ming Emperor personally commanded an army of 200,000 is the real elite, which becomes elite when selected, supplemented by good prescription training, sharp firearms, battle and battle, a powerful mess.
Even with the 30,000 elite cavalry he has assembled so far, he can't charge. And the army that is currently attacking the Jurchens is half of the Ming Emperor's command, and it is all cavalry, one person and two horses, everyone has muskets and iron armor, and the people are strong and strong, and they can't fight hard.
"It's really hard." Huang Taiji looked into the distance, his face was full of sorrow, he really felt a little helpless.
"In this bitter cold land, there are few people and little food, how can I compete with the Ming Emperor!"
"Fewer people? Lack of food? β
Kept chattering, Huang Taiji seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up in vain, "This place is far away from Liaodong, I'm afraid it's not thousands of miles away, and the Ming Emperor's army is numerous, and the consumption must be a lot, maybe it can be ......"
Thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao, who was in the Chinese army, didn't know that Huang Taiji was calculating him. An army of more than 100,000 people, it is impossible to gather together and march.
But how can so many people coordinate, just say that the road is not so wide. Although they are all plains, there are also many hills, and the places are not as vast as the Mongolian steppes, and there are woods, beaches and other things in many places, which cannot pass through the army.
Therefore, he is still the forward, the middle army, the rear of the palace, and several parts of the grain and grass transportation, among them, the vital grain and grass transportation, Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and finally handed it over to the most veteran Li Yuyu, and the five thousand musketeers he brought were all called by him, in addition, Zhu Youxiao also transferred five thousand cavalry, and ten thousand foreign auxiliaries who distributed swords to him.
A total of 20,000 troops were transported with grain and grass.
The march was very boring, but Zhu Youxiao in the northeast was the first time to come, and at this time it was the June day when the grass grew and the warbler was flying, and it was the most beautiful moment of the scenery, so Zhu Youxiao was not idle along the way, and he was swimming around in the safe area opened up by the army.
He had never been to the Northeast in his previous life, and it was the first time to go to the Mongolian steppe in addition to grass is cattle and sheep, fresh at first glance, but it will not be boring after a long time, unlike the Northeast, which is rich in vegetation, all kinds of hills and lakes, the scenery is different in all four places, and it is also interesting to look at it when you stop and go.
The only pity is that he is accompanied by a group of big men, not soft and cute sisters.
On this day, passing by a lake, Zhu Youxiao thought of fish when he saw the lake, he liked to eat fish the most, recently it was either military food or game, although it was also delicious, but it was too thick, at this moment I thought of fish, and I immediately missed the feeling of freshness and tenderness, especially in this wild lake, the fish is more delicious.
"Let's go, go catch two fish, and fight the tooth sacrifice tonight." Zhu Youxiao greeted the brigade with some people, and then more people left with him, accompanying the guards.
"Your Majesty is too casual." Li Tao, who followed as a general of the Chinese army, also came with him in desperation.
Soon, a few foreign hunters who came together and were good at fishing went into the water to catch fish, while Zhu Youxiao looked around, this is a very ordinary lake, the area is very large, it looks sparkling, there are many footprints on the lake, three or four toe prints, at a glance, you know that this is the enemy of many beasts drinking water.
Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao's eyes turned, his eyes froze, and he saw some wrong footprints, "Li Tao, look over there." β
Following the emperor's fingers, Li Tao looked over, and he only saw rows of footprints, "There's nothing there, only some footprints." β
Wait, footprints.
Speaking of this, Li Tao himself suddenly realized that something was wrong, this is a lake in the wild, and it is not near the city, how can there be people's footprints, even if there are some tribes gathered nearby, then there is no reason why the soldiers of the forward force do not send people to come and tell them.
Moreover, according to the rules, the gathered tribes found along the way will have soldiers on guard when the army passes, and the address will also be marked to facilitate the inspection of the troops behind the palace.
Obviously, there is not a single one here, so either these people came here temporarily, or they have bad intentions and have been hiding here.
"Your Majesty, please recuse yourself and let the last general go to investigate one or two." Li Tao said cautiously.
"It's fine." Zhu Youxiao also agreed kindly. Soon, Li Tao led some soldiers, muskets in hand, and cautiously paced towards the woods by the lake.
"Boss, what should I do, they're coming." In the middle of the erection, behind a dense jungle, there were several squatting people, one of whom was tall, unusually strong, with his arms and muscles exposed outside the tattered cloth, looking directly reminiscent of a marble granite sculpture.
"Wait, wait until they come and kill these people and run away." The eldest brother also replied in Jurchen.
"Escape? Why do you want to run away, big brother, look at what they are wearing, those clothes, they are really beautiful, much more beautiful than the group we robbed a few days ago, do you think they are a gang? The companion asked stupidly, in his eyes, the Ming and the Jianzhou Jurchens are the same thing, that is, beautiful.
"You're stupid, how can these be those Jianzhou Jurchens, they are Ming people." The eldest brother seemed to know a lot about these things, and he could tell the difference between the two groups at once.
"Da Ming? What is Daming? The companion asked with wide eyes, and when they heard their conversation, the grass behind them and even in the distance swayed, and they were obviously very curious about this Da Ming.
Recently, there have been a lot of caravans escorting goods in these deep mountains and old forests, and they are all looking for such a closed tribe to trade, and from the mouths of these people, they are all from a mysterious place - Daming.
Therefore, these warriors who have broken their homes are very curious about this place.
"Da Ming ......" The leader's eyes fell into memory, "Da Ming is not a place, but a country, a very big country, very beautiful, very rich, very ......"
Boil!
However, suddenly a roar interrupted the leader's memory, and he suddenly came to his senses, looked up, but was horrified to find that behind the man who had sent people to search in the woods, who seemed to be the leader, a huge brown bear suddenly appeared, and the brown bear had a fierce temperament, and swooped out of the woods, and ran wildly towards the man in bright armor.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Li Tao turned his head and saw this scene, and he was frightened.
At this time, most of the troops were scattered around, although there were also in the woods over there, but thousands of kilograms of brown bears came ordinarily, but few people could stop them, and when they reacted, they threw rat traps again, and they didn't dare to shoot, no way, the brown bears were too close to the emperor, and the Apocalypse II rifle was not long, they were afraid that if they accidentally injured the emperor, then they would die.
Compared with the horror of others, Zhu Youxiao laughed excitedly, from the foul smell and fishy wind blowing on his face, he only felt a trembling feeling of approaching crisis, the feeling of goosebumps standing up all over his body, which made him extremely intoxicated.
This is how a warrior feels when he faces an opponent, even though this opponent is just a brown bear.
"Good time!" Haha laughing, Zhu Youxiao also slammed his feet, lowered his helmet, shrugged his shoulders, and slammed into the brown bear.
Bang!
This collision slammed into the two big hands of the brown bear that had just been closed, and the huge force made the two of them ? Shaking one or two at the same time, both took a step back.
Roar!
Zhu Youxiao roared excitedly, pounced towards the brown bear, and began a hard-to-earth fist exchange.
Bang bang bang!
A series of loud noises showed a fierce sense of excitement, and with the roar of the brown bear, anyone could hear it, and it fell into the disadvantage of this confrontation.
"Is this Nima still human?" The leader watched dumbfounded, it was precisely because of his own strong combat strength and his ease of coming and going in the jungle that he knew more about the combat effectiveness of this brown bear, and the two of them tied up together might barely be able to entangle with this brown bear.
And the person who came out of nowhere completely suppressed the brown bear.
"Big brother, it's time to go." As the leader was immersed in the confrontation, his companion tore at his tattered clothes and pulled him away.
And Li Tao and the others were so focused on Zhu Youxiao's safety that they didn't notice the group of people in the jungle at all.
It's just that this scene is deeply imprinted in the leader's heart, and it will never fade, "Strong, my clam thorn mold will come to you again." β
