Chapter Ninety-Four: Pisces Village
In order to improve the mobility and efficiency of the robbery, all the soldiers participating in the operation were one person and two horses, and the spare horses were empty when they went, and they should be loaded with goods when they returned.
In order to be flexible at night, the ironclad knights did not wear iron armor, but wore cotton armor and led the horses on the sheep intestine path, and the iron armor was carried on horseback, and all the warriors would wear armor before the battle.
In order to give the soldiers more opportunities to practice, Huang Han brought out more than 800 soldiers this time.
In addition to all the cavalry, there are also a hundred people who are selected to be horseback infantry with better riding skills, they have no iron armor and no combat missions, and the requirements for them are not high, as long as they manage more than 800 spare horses when the cavalry brothers are engaged in the battle with Jiannu.
Due to the rapid expansion of the "Red Banner Army", it is obvious that the equipment has not been able to keep up.
Only 500 cavalry soldiers equipped with iron armor and iron mask armor were allowed to directly charge and kill Jiannu, and more than 200 Ming cavalry with only cotton armor and mandarin duck jackets were only allowed to follow and cover up when they found Jiannu fleeing.
Although the sky became brighter and brighter as we got up early in the morning, the fifty-mile mountain road was really not easy to walk, and after paying the price of seven or eight soldiers who were injured in a fall, the team arrived at the deserted Pisces Village at noon.
It is possible that the Jin army wanted to keep this village called Pisces Village as a resting place, so it was not deliberately burned down.
In an intact village, there are no chickens or dogs crowing, no human figures to be seen, and even at noon in this early spring and February, it brings a chilly chill.
Pei Daneng burst into tears when he saw the village in his hometown from afar, and he couldn't stand it anymore when he entered the village, so he cried loudly, and many of the robes in his hometown that had been looted by the Houjin army were concerned, and they also had red eyes.
On the contrary, the old man from Jiulitai Village does not have that feeling of righteous indignation, which is enough to show that most people decide their heads with their butts.
Later, the Jin army plundered Yongping Mansion, and Jiulitai Village made preparations in advance, and not a single villager was killed.
The children of Jiulitai Village, who became the soldiers of the Huang Han family, have earned at least a few dozen taels of silver in the past few months, and the living conditions of the family will definitely be greatly improved.
The soldiers of the family are well fed and nourished, and they all fall in love with the Jin army to rob the property after the cut, and they hope that such a happy battle can be fought for a few more years! They didn't think much about how the Houjin Army's belongings were obtained?
What boils don't hurt? This is the truth that boils that grow on other people's bodies do not hurt.
Huang Han saw the expression of Lao Laoding in his eyes, it was obvious that these people were not enlightened enough!
After the war, it is necessary to vigorously grasp ideological education, make great use of these people in the future, and cultivate in them from now on to protect the country and love the people.
There are too many uncertainties in fighting guerrillas, and Huang Han only carried three days of grain and grass for this sortie, which means that the plan will fail if there is no target for three days, and if he does not rush back to Zunhua, he will have to starve.
However, the historical record should not be too biased, the main purpose of the Later Jin army entering the pass was to plunder, because they were trapped in Liaodong by the four directions of the Daming Dynasty, coupled with the harsh climate of the Xiaoice River, which caused the north to be too cold, and the grain production was sharply reduced.
In fact, Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Jingluo in the year of the Apocalypse, is a rare handsome talent, which can be regarded as a great talent, and the economic blockade he adopted has a remarkable effect, resulting in a lack of food in Houjin, if it can go on for a long time, Jiannu will really be trapped to death.
Otherwise, the mad wild boar skin would not have ordered Khan Yu to slaughter the Han people without grain. In the first month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the old slave Nurhachi issued nine edicts to investigate the so-called 'people without grain'.
He also ordered the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners to regard the people of Wugu as enemies, and to arrest them and send them to the capital city of Tokyo, which was built when the old slave was the capital of Liaoyang. Finally, on the 27th day of the first month, the old slave ordered to kill all the grainless Nikans sent from everywhere.
Nurhachi's bandit mentality was troublesome, and his response to the food crisis was simple and rude, and he had no way to break the layout of the Ming Dynasty to obtain a large amount of food, so he could only take food from the Han population to feed the children of Baqi.
The old slave believed that there were tens of millions of Han people in Liaodong at that time, and the Han people would definitely rise up if they had no food to eat, so it was better to take precautions than to be busy with counterinsurgency, and first kill the Han people who might be hungry.
The Honggang who became the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty realized that if the Great Jin Kingdom could not get a large amount of grain, it would inevitably starve to death a large number of Aha and Baoyi minions, which would make the free labor force for farming insufficient, which would exacerbate the reduction of grain production.
The only way to untie this dead knot is to use the powerful mobility and unparalleled field combat ability of the children of the Eight Banners, so he ventured into the Daming Pass and grabbed a handful fiercely, becoming the choice of the slave chief.
Now these barbarians have done it, but the long-distance transportation of more than 2,000 miles cannot be achieved overnight, so they must establish multiple transfer stations, and Zunhua City was captured by Liu Zhilun's Huazi army due to their arrogance.
A large amount of money and grain stolen from Gyeonggi were piled up in the city, and there were constantly armored soldiers carrying thousands of Han strong laborers to lead cattle, drive carts or carry them on their shoulders to the north through Longjing Pass to transport them outside the Guan.
Huang Han estimated that Jiannu should have a large material hoarding place within 200 miles north of Longjing Pass, but he did not dare to lead his troops to raid.
Because when he came to the vast prairie, if he was entangled by the Tartar light cavalry, and then the breach of the Great Wall was blocked by Jiannu, these horses that had been accumulated with great difficulty might be wiped out.
Huang Han was not arrogant enough to think that the "Red Banner Army" was invincible in the world, and he could not make a mistake in places where tens of thousands of Jiannu and Tatar cavalry could quickly mobilize to encircle, pursue, and intercept.
If Jiannu returned to Liaodong and the Mongolian cavalry on the left and right flanks also returned to their hometowns, Huang Han dared to go out of the customs and crusade against the Tatar tribes who aided in the abuse by surprise attacks, and snatched back the Han people and materials they plundered, plus seized their war horses, cattle and sheep as interest.
The "Red Flag Army" immediately ate and checked the equipment and armor when they arrived at the destination, and Song Pengfei was still in charge of reconnaissance. He took Zhao Kun and Liu Sihai to the mountain to lookout, and the soldiers of the sign language relay have cooperated many times, and now they have a tacit understanding.
After waiting for nearly two hours, Song Pengfei, who was looking out on the mountain, had information that a large team appeared on the mountain road ten miles away from Pisces Village, and their speed was not fast, and it was estimated that it would take about half an hour to arrive.
There are a lot of oxen, horses, and carts in the team, there are two or three thousand Han people, and there should be a Tartar hundred-man team in Mali who escorted the Houjin soldiers, and the leader should be less than 100 Jiannu armorers, and the number of bannermen and clothed slaves is 200 or dozen.
In this way, it can be seen that the transportation outside the mouth is an organized and planned action of the Later Jin Army, and it is no longer a scattered and private behavior of various cattle records.
