No. 331 Octopus Cake
This! I don't know if the Han army is confident or proud!
After all, this is 60,000 cavalry, and no matter how strong the Han army is, it is only 30,000, and most of them are infantry. Lin Jiading's indifference made Tru not know how to reply.
He didn't say it, and Lin Jiading didn't have time to wait: "General Tru, what are your plans, is it to return to the Yanhuang Empire, or to compete with the Han army again?" β
Are the Han Chinese already so direct? This is not the elegant Han people that Tru knows.
As soon as Tru was about to speak, there was a panicked sound of horses' hooves outside the car.
As soon as Lin Jiading saw the liaison officer coming over, he said, "It's okay, just say it." β
The liaison officer nodded and smiled: "Military seat, the chief of staff has signaled again, the enemy has been defeated. β
Lin Jiading smiled and said, "Okay! Jinghan Gong is worthy of the emperor's protΓ©gΓ©! It seems that Pegatron and they have fled westward. β
The Mongol nobility had always been familiar with Chinese and Chinese, and they always wanted to occupy the Central Plains: to restore the glory of the Great Yuan Empire. Tru, who can understand Chinese, was stunned, this can't be that the Han people deliberately acted to trap him! This place is at least nearly a hundred miles away from the battlefield, how did the Han army know? Also, with an army of 60,000, it is impossible to retreat so quickly.
Seeing Tru's confusion, Lin Jiading, who was in a good mood, also explained: "General Tru, my Han army doesn't need to hide anything, our army is preparing to pursue the Heshuo Division, how do you choose your department, please speak up?" β
Also! There is no need for Han Jun to lie to him! Tru, who made up his mind, immediately spoke: "Qianhu Tru in the eastern part of the Mongolian Tumut Department asks for the return of Yanhuang, and the last general asks to be the vanguard of the army. β
Chopping the grass to eradicate the roots, Tru also hopes to kill the scourge of Heshuo, otherwise he Tru will not sleep peacefully.
Sure enough, Lin Jiading nodded with a smile: "Okay!" Welcome the return of the general's headquarters, so General Tru please be the vanguard of the Han army, just forget not to disappoint this seat. β
Truma saluted and swore: "Commander, please rest assured, my Mongolian warriors are quick to speak and will never be half-hearted." β
Lin Jiading nodded: "Then there is General Lao!" Please. β
"Honorable Order." Tru was no longer polite and immediately left the army.
On the way back to the army, Tru's brother Ter Qianfu also sighed: "Brother, this Han army is really not afraid that we will escape?" β
"Huh! We can still run away there! The west corridor of the Turpan River is all the Han army! Are we going to go up to the mountains to graze? "There is no choice, otherwise Tru would not have surrendered like this!
Commander Tel also immediately bowed his head and remained silent! In this world, is it going to return to the hands of the Han people?
Tru marched with an army of 10,000, followed by nearly 40,000 Han troops.
Although they are not moving at full speed, they are already speeding up their horses.
"Brother, this Han army oxcart is so powerful, it can follow us for an hour without stopping!" I don't know how strong the Han army is, but the movement speed of the Han army is convincing.
Steel hardened wheels, the frame also has shock absorbing springs, the most important thing is that the four wheels are stressed, so that the war ox does not need to bear half the weight. This is also the Northwest Army can be fully replaced with new trucks, and the rest of the armies are still using old ox carts.
In particular, the trucks of the Western Route Army are the most complete, and they are also the first to be reloaded.
Tru nodded: "Okay, let the brothers rest!" β
"Good!" The commander nodded immediately, in fact, he was also tired.
Seeing that the Mongols stopped, the cavalry also breathed a sigh of relief! Wearing armor and being bumped by a war horse, this feels really uncomfortable! Especially in highland areas where there is some hypoxia.
Even in a shock-absorbing ox cart, the Han soldiers were uncomfortable.
When the Han army rested, it was also immediately replenished with water and dry food.
After drinking enough sweet and sour tea, Lin Jiading suddenly said: "Pull a cart of dried fish cakes to replenish the energy of the Mongolians." β
A quartermaster staff officer of the military department also nodded immediately: "Honorable order." β
Soon a cart of dried fish was pulled in front of Tru, and Tru also wondered what this cart was? Silver?
The staff officer also immediately explained: "General Tru, this is the dry food given to you by the military seat, this is a fish cake baked with fish, shrimp and shellfish mixed with wheat flour and melons and fruits in the ocean." A small piece is half a catty of coarse grain, and you should not eat more, this is just a snack and not a staple food. β
Although Tru doesn't know how it tastes, the seafood and melons and fruits sound very high-grade.
"Thank you, General."
Seeing that the fish cakes were all moved, the staff officer nodded and left after saluting, some withdrawn silver people don't like to deal with people.
The serious and cold staff officer left, and the commander immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, I'll see what this seafood tastes like." β
"Open it up and take a look." Tru has never eaten seafood, only heard that it is the most tender meat in the world.
Open the troublesome paper shell: the browned fish cake immediately gave off a special taste, and the commander quickly let it go and took a bite into it.
"Wow, it's so salty and sweet!" Even though he said that, he nibbled quickly.
Unlike the coarse fiber of beef and mutton, the fish cake feels full of stomach energy as soon as it is eaten, and the fish cake that is very digestible will not swell the stomach.
"Good, delicious! Is this what seafood meat tastes like? "Indescribable feeling, Tru only feels that his mental strength has improved a lot.
Both generals said yes, and the commanders immediately took action.
Seeing that everyone was in a hurry, Tru hurriedly shouted: "Don't grab it, one person will send two pieces first." β
He estimated that each person should have enough for two or three yuan, not to mention eating a small piece and drinking a few sips of sweet spring water, this stomach seemed to have eaten.
Tru, the generals who ate meat, tea and fruits, all said that it was good, and the herdsmen were even more intoxicated after eating.
"The life of this Han people is good, and this snack alone makes people jealous!"
"Hey! Who says it isn't! Not to mention the delicious food and good accommodation! Now this Han people are getting stronger and stronger! I heard that the various tribes of the ancestral land have been killed by the Han people and nearly a million cavalry! Now the kings of the tribes don't dare to fight against the Han army at all! Even the once powerful Jurchens can only shrink into Liaodong! β
"That's it! Stop it! We Mongolians are not the same as they used to be! The old warrior sighed! The Mongols, who were once mighty in the world, were defeated by the Ming Dynasty several times, and now they are under the command of the Imperial Han Army!
After resting for half an hour, the army began to set off again. Tru knew that after Pegatron was defeated and retreated, he would definitely withdraw directly to the basin. He also led the Han army, preparing to block them in front of Peshuo.
β¦β¦
The Southern Route Army was unhurried and kept a distance of more than ten kilometers to follow the Mongols. Fast horse scouts are all looking forward to telescopes, and it is difficult for the Mongols to slip away! The tired Han army really couldn't catch up with the Mongols, so they could only follow slowly. After chasing for a day, the Mongols were also tired.
Early the next morning, the Mongols set off again, after eating their rations. More than 20,000 Mongols have now divided into two groups, and if it weren't for the Han army, Heshuo would have to clean up these traitors.
Peshuo still had 15,000 cavalry, and only 10,000 horses remained in the left and right 2,000 households, of which 1,000 were slightly wounded. Rushing all the way, there were many wounded soldiers who fell behind, and then were hacked to death by the Han army, and the seriously wounded cavalry was already difficult to treat, so they could only give them a good time. The benevolent and righteous Han army at least set up a grave for them.
The Mongols, who hid among the mountain walls to rest, also shivered all night, but fortunately they also took their big baggage with them when they retreated, otherwise they would have to freeze their limbs.
The sky is beautiful, and it is already lucky that there is no rain.
