"Good boy! So much baggage grain and grass?! ”

One horse gives birth to wind, and ten horses give birth to thunder. The momentum of hundreds of sturdy war horses galloping can already be described as earth-shattering. However, the momentum of the Chinese army is much stronger than that of the horse team that serves as the striker. The reason was that a large number of baggage vehicles were walking in the ranks of the Chinese army.

That Qian always watched the baggage cars in front of him flow one after another, each car was covered with a huge tarpaulin and piled up high, he had been in the army for a long time, and he was quite eye-catching, and the vehicle was empty or full at a glance.

From the smoke and dust raised by the wheels when running over the official road, the sound of the car body when driving on the potholed road, and the sweat on the mules and horses pulling the carts, all show that these hundreds of expensive carts must be carrying a large amount of supplies.

However, another vehicle in the Chinese army team almost broke his tongue.

The sound of hooves was audible, hundreds of horses pulling dozens of big Buddha machines and artillery came proudly, the drivers waved the long whips in their hands to drive the horses, and the gunners sat on the gun carriages and talked about something in a low voice, not paying attention to the more than 100 routed soldiers on the side of the road.

"My lord! Who is this commander? ”

The one who served as a guard leaned into the ear of Mr. Qian and whispered a question.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the military system collapsed, and officers at all levels used military salaries to support their families as their basic strength and backbone strength, often the general soldiers and marshals with 10,000 rated soldiers, and the like under their names, and the actual available soldiers were only one or two thousand families, and the military salaries of more than 10,000 people. In addition to being used to deal with Shangguan and the bigwigs in the DPRK, it is used to support these families.

However, after searching repeatedly in his mind, Mr. Qian did not expect that among the Ming army units near the Beijing Division, there was a family under the command of the chief soldier with such a scale!

There are hundreds of cavalry, everyone has bright armor, swords and guns, and the horses are excellent and fat. And the infantry, which came like a tide, in his eyes. It's even more of an elite anomaly.

As for those artillery. Needless to say, although the cities in the Ming Dynasty are full of artillery, the general acropolis and town cities have thousands of artillery with a wide variety of names such as large and small copper iron Furang machines, small copper cannons, small iron cannons, tiger squat cannons, sub-mother cannons, small cannons, etc., and there will be a lot of invincible generals and big iron cannons. But those can only be used to defend the city. The gun emplacements were fixed at the head of the city. The number of artillery pieces that could be used in field battles was extremely small. Even the Divine Machine Battalion, which makes good use of firearms, has never had so many artillery!

"Where are you officers and soldiers?! Why here?! ”

A scout commander asked the head of Qian on the horse, and his tone was quite unkind.

If only in the old days. When he asked him in such a tone from other soldiers, Mr. Qian had to fight immediately. But today, it has to be different. Seeing that this Biao military horse was strong, his attitude naturally softened a lot.

"Wang Desheng, the commander of the lower barracks under the command of the general soldier of a certain Daming Ji Town, is, I don't know which adult is in front of him?"

Hearing that Wang Desheng reported his subordinates and official titles, the scout pursed his lips with a disdainful face, "It's these officers and soldiers again!" The voice was not loud, and the tone was quite strange to everyone, but it was clear to everyone.

Seeing the scout turn his horse and leave, Wang Desheng suppressed the anger in his heart, and was about to discuss with several officers where to go, but the scout came flying again.

"Wu Na Wang Desheng, right? My general has something to ask you, you wait and come with me! ”

The tone of these words is almost the same as in the old boy movie, the big guy called the newly acquired horse boy, "That and that!" "The tone is extremely bad.

But intimidated by the military might, Wang Desheng and others still followed the scout's guidance to the Chinese army.

With a sharp brass whistle sounding from the Chinese army, one whistle after another echoed each other, the team stopped marching, and the riders got off their horses, took out the salt-fried beans from the bags, and held them in both hands to replenish the horses.

The men of the baggage brigade in the battalion set up a posture, stabbed the fire, and some carried wooden barrels to the river to fetch water, preparing to prepare food for the whole army.

Here the army shall rest and eat.

And Wang Desheng and others were taken to Shouhan's tent.

Although it was only a temporary resting place, the guards still set up tents for the guards to rest for a while.

A large tent made of thick cotton cloth with a flattened cotton board in the middle was used as a tabernacle, with iron bars as supports, wooden planks laid underneath to prevent the ground from moisture, and ropes and nets tied to weeds to keep the arrows from flowing. In front of the tent, dozens of guards lined up on both sides with knives, guns and firearms.

Wang Desheng found that since he reported his identity and position in the official army, this group of people did not have a good reputation for him.

In fact, among the more than 3,000 people of the Nanzhong Army who went north, from the Han Dynasty to the men of the baggage team, they were all full of anger!

Just landed in Tanggu, I heard that Lin Wenbing said that there were court officials leading people in Tianjin. Shouhan was overjoyed for a while, so he sent people with documents, intending to stop with the officials and troops in the interior and fight the enemy together.

Unexpectedly, the person who was sent to contact him was humiliated one after another.

Leading tens of thousands of officers and troops to be stationed in Tianjin, facing tens of thousands of Jiannu Eight Banners to rob property from the city and conquering the city, but he was afraid to fight, it was Liang Tingdong, the right attendant of the military department and the governor of the imperial history of the right capital, Xuanda Shanxi, who was known as the "talented soldier"!

The Han Shou ordered people to write to contact him, but he was instructed by him to sign up and enter at Yuanmen, Yingmen and other places to "destroy the sharp spirit". Later, when he saw that the official title written in the letter was Yunyun of the Southern Central Army of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately threw back the letter and scolded, "When will there be the so-called Southern Central Army?" ”

Ordered his battalion to beat the messenger out of the camp gate.

This is one of them.

When the messenger cried, the whole army was angry. Immediately speed up the landing, unload supplies, vehicles, horses, artillery and other materials, and the army will come to the camp of the Liang Governor in Tianjin.

For a time, all the armies were intimidated by the military power of the South Central Army, and they did not dare to speak falsely.

Seeing that a strong army had fallen from the sky, after a little inquiry, Governor Liang took it for granted that it was a team similar to Qin Liangyu's Tusi soldiers who were ordered to enter the guard, so he started to ask for bribes.

Dispatch the standard battalion to the camp with arrows to defend the Han camp. It is called a point inspection and a reward for the army, but in fact, it is to listen to the inside story. Seeing that the camp of the Shouhan was the envy of the Nanban swords, guns and armor in all armies and battalions, he had the heart of robbery. He ordered Shouhan to offer 3,000 pairs of armor, 1,000 knives, and 2,000 guns to the governor's camp for military use. Moreover, he had to bring the 900 firecrackers and 500 gunners under the command of Shouhan to the standard camp under his command with guns and cannons to act as his bodyguards!

This is the second one.

This is in response to that sentence, the uncle can bear it, but the aunt can't bear it either!

For many years, the Nanzhong Army has let others disarm and capture other people's land and cities, so how could they have handed over swords, guns and artillery from their own hands?

Seeing the noise of the whole battalion, the Chinese army had to go up with 36 strategies.

But. Day. Liang Tingdong issued a military order, waving more than 20,000 people from all sides, and closing them from all sides, with a faint intention to forcibly disarm and eliminate the more than 3,000 people of the Nanzhong Army.

Present. Shouhan ordered Wang Bao to postpone. Huang Yishan opened the way in front. More than 3,000 people formed a fighting posture and walked along the Baihe River and Ziya River. Even those gunners are ready to fire at any time.

General and deputy general of all departments of the Ming Army. They are all people who have been boiling oil in the officialdom and on the battlefield, and they see that this group of people is not easy to deal with, the soldiers and horses are elite, and the equipment is excellent. Everyone is afraid that they will not be able to get benefits, even if they have benefits, they are also the standard camp of Governor Liang Tingdong, so why should they compromise their capital and strength for him. So, Shouhan Shi Shiran marched all the way from Tianjin to Wuqing!

When Governor Liang learned that the Nanzhong Army had pulled out the camp overnight and went to the direction of the Beijing Division, he even sent a messenger to come, and ordered Shouhan to leave the artillery to serve in the battalion before going to the capital. In the face of such a ridiculous military order, Shouhan sneered twice and tore Governor Liang's handwritten letter to shreds.

"I have two words, please bring them to Liang Tingdong!"

Shouhan Tie blushed his face towards the frightened Chinese army flag, at this time, the flag also has no momentum to take what he wants, the hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, it is important to save his life!

"Adults, please speak, and the small ones must be brought!"

"First, Lao Tzu entered Beijing this time, firstly, to come to King Qin, and secondly, to pay tribute, so that everyone in the world knows that I am a Ming Dynasty, even if I am thousands of miles away from the peerless region, there is also a lonely loyalty! How can you be driven by this little bit of thought by your bullshit governor! Second, Lao Tzu's mouth has always been mean, you sue your governor, let him think about it, the Ming Dynasty from Yang Ho in the Wanli period, all those who hold the title of superintendent, there are a few good ends! ”

These few sentences, every word is a heart-wrenching argument, which made the flag almost pee his pants!

"Someone! Beat this guy and his party back with a stick! ”

"Order!"

The sticks in the hands of the soldiers of the Guards Battalion rained down on the heads of the banner group, and the group ran away with their heads in their hands!

These things add up, and it is strange that the soldiers can have a good face for the Ming army!

"You are a soldier of Jizhen, and you think you are also ordered to enter the guard, but why are you so defeated? How is the situation of the Jiannu army? ”

Shouhan did not embarrass Wang Desheng and the others, and ordered them to sit down in front of the tent, trying to get some information and military information about the Eight Banners from the mouths of those of them who had fought with the Eight Banners. However, it was a great disappointment for him.

"If you return to your lordship, the 100,000 Jiannu army is all eight feet tall and ten girths, wearing double armor, slashing and slashing guns, and the combat power is extremely strong! There are also the so-called white Baya soldiers and red Baya soldiers are even more elite, and our army is never an opponent! ”

"How many battles have you fought? So far? ”

"Three battles, one battle is worse than the other!"

"Then I'll ask you! What are the Jiannu in Gyeonggi today? ”

"This, it's not good to say, those who are fighting with us, there are eight banners, there are real slaves, and there are also Mongolian eight banners! There should be some soldiers and horses of Manchuria with the red flag and white flags and white flags in the vicinity, all of which are cruising soldiers and horses, and the main forces are all in the south of Gyeonggi to capture cities and plunder prefectures and counties! ”

I can't ask anything else about it! Wang Desheng's group of soldiers is probably the group of soldiers and horses that will be defeated when they hear the wind! Over the years, the Ming army has suffered more defeats than victories against the Qing soldiers. Since the second year of Chongzhen, they have continued to enter the pass and plunder, after the officers and soldiers broke up and fled, they were in groups of three or five, and they fled when they encountered the Qing soldiers' sentinels and cavalry guerrillas, but when they encountered the fleeing people, they were like wolves and tigers, looting property, raping and insulting women, killing good and risking merit, and their actions were no better than those of the Qing soldiers.

As far as the eye can see, this area was originally a plain area with fertile land and canals, and it is also the land of Gyeonggi, with dense villages and towns and a large population. I think it should be a place where life is stable and prosperous. However, Shouhan's eyes only saw the desolation of the fields and the displacement of the population. The surrounding villages are either still burning fires or ruins with light smoke, and from time to time you can hear faintly audible cries and moans drifting in the wind.

However, what Wang Desheng smelled was not this, what they smelled was the aroma of bursts of food. They had not seen hot food for several days, and they were already hungry, and when they smelled the fragrance wafting in the wind, they couldn't help but fan their noses and breathe greedily.

"Give them food. You can wait and eat! ”

Listened to this. Wang Desheng and the others kowtowed with a thousand thanks.

The battalions of the northern Ming Dynasty. Most of the military rations eaten during the war were military rations called rice rations, which were cooked and put in water to expose to the sun, repeated several times, and finally some dry rice was obtained. When eating, soak in hot water until soft, cook and eat. (Such military rations.) During the Republic of China. It is still being mass-produced and used in the Feng army. At that time, the Feng army was regarded as the most technical among the warlord troops of various factions in the country. Except for this meal. The main types of food of the army were miscellaneous cakes, steamed cakes, some hard salt cubes, dried vinegar, etc., and the horses would be accompanied by some cheese to quench their thirst urgently. Because the economic situation of the imperial court was not good, the various departments in the army often owed military salaries for several months or a year, and the soldiers often did not even have enough to eat, so naturally they could not ask for the taste and variety of food. However, on the other hand, soldiers cannot be expected to be able to fight hard.

Led by the guards to the baggage team, a man threw a large bucket of rice on the ground, a bamboo basket containing some dishes and chopsticks, and in a small bucket next to it, there were more than half a bucket of salted fish and salt meat stewed together, and the oily soup made Wang Desheng swallow a mouthful of saliva fiercely.

"Eat! Not enough to add more! ”

As soon as the person who said this turned to leave, Wang Desheng and the others formed a ball and grabbed the food. The two soldiers reached into the barrel and grabbed a piece of salted meat and chewed it, choking on the huge piece of meat and rolling their eyes.

"Something that doesn't make a difference! Haven't you eaten?! ”

While reprimanding his subordinates, Wang Desheng quickly finished a bowl of rice on the tip of the gang, and then went to the wooden barrel to fill a bowl and continued to pick it up in his mouth quickly.

In the distance, two firecrackers were heard.

The soldiers of the baggage squad stood still when they heard the sound.

"There are enemies!"

Along the embankment, several flags of pure white color moved quickly in this direction, rolling up a puff of smoke and dust in the open land.

"Tartar! Tartar of the white flag! ”

Wang Desheng still had a mouthful of food in his mouth and shouted in horror.

His muffled shouts sent disdainful glances from several of the baggage squad soldiers.

The Tartars who came were the ones who scared Wang Desheng and the others so much that they almost lost their shoes just now. Led by a bull with a white flag, because he was the first to climb the Xifeng Pass when he entered the Kou this time, he was rewarded with a Nanban armor by Azig. When he entered the pass, he was even more high-spirited, ready to make more military achievements, and rob more of his children's wealth for his masters!

Seeing that there was a large group of Ming troops passing by, there were a large number of vehicles in the team, thinking that they were transporting military rations and salaries for the Ming army near the Beijing Division, and they happened to loot and set up another military merit for themselves!

On the one hand, he led his subordinates to come with horses, and on the other hand, he ordered one of his subordinates to lead two auxiliary soldiers to report to the master of Ben Jiala, asking Jia La's real fire to come to reinforce him, and he first led his headquarters to attack these Ming troops for a while, and if he couldn't break away from their military formation, he would also entangle them and prevent them from fleeing away!

"Po! Trumpet! Concentrate! ”

Seeing that the smoke and dust were coming from far and near, Shouhan suddenly felt a burst of excitement in his heart for no reason, and his body seemed to tremble slightly. This kind of feeling, this kind of reaction, only when he stood on the tower of the city and waited for the people of He Deputy Qianhu to come. Perhaps, this is what it feels like to face a brand new enemy in the first battle?! This feeling, I must have experienced it when I waited all night on the flat type close!

"This battle is the first battle, and it is a battle in which our Nanzhong Army is famous, let these guys who are afraid of the enemy like a tiger and collapse when they hear the wind can see how we fight!"

The horn sounded, and the whole army began to be on alert.

"Polishing Lao Tzu's eyes, if they can't stand it for a while, let's grab a few big cars and go! Don't let go of those knives and guns! Seeing the soldiers of the Southern Chinese Army running nervously and orderly in the temporary camp, Wang Desheng hiccups while quietly explaining to a few henchmen. Keep your eyes looking around, preparing for a moment to escape.

Soon, the Nanzhong Army, which was having a meal for the whole army, completed preparations for battle.

Musketeers, pikemen, and sword and shield men lined up in their respective officers' commands, listening to the officer's instructions.

"Brothers, we have walked down for three or four hundred miles, and all we see are burned pastoral villages, and all the officers and soldiers who have fled from the wind, but I am annoyed that those officials and soldiers still look down on us, call us barbarians, today, we are a group of barbarians, just kill a group of Tartars to show them! Sue them, to fight, you have to learn from our Nanzhong military! ”

One of the Musketeers was doing a simple mobilization in front of the team.

The two conveniences have shortened the distance in this very short time!

On the right side of the South Central Army is the river of the North Canal, and not far in front is the city of Hexi Wu Town, so it is only necessary to invest the main forces in the east and south directions.

Standing on the shoulders of a few guards, Shouhan looked through a telescope in the direction of the white-flaged soldiers rushing to the south, "Huh! But more than 100 cavalry, dare to attack my 3,000 men?! That's too much to underestimate me, isn't it?! ”

He didn't know that in this era, there was such a thing, tens of thousands of Ming troops were in front, watching more than 1,000 Jiannu wantonly slaughter and rob, plundering the population. A few hundred Jiannu could chase thousands of Ming troops and flee in all directions. Therefore, although this group of soldiers with white flags is a little arrogant, it is not without reason.

For this kind of operation, Wang Bao has a lot of experience. He narrowed his eyes and calculated the speed and distance of those Jiannu cavalry, and then looked at his own chariot battle, and now had a calculation in his heart. (To be continued......)
