54 Brutal war in the rear.
Interspersed between the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, the danger of An Xianguo's cavalry division is self-evident, and the enemy they are facing is the invincible Jurchen Eight Banner Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty in this era, which is still full of snowy wasteland, tracking An Xianguo's movements.
Since setting foot on the land of the Qing Dynasty, An Xianguo and their mobile troops, they have not carried too many materials, and they have been fighting all the way, anyway, there are countless large and small tribes of the Jurchen Mongols between the grasslands and mountains and forests, so that An Xianguo and they don't have to worry too much about supplies.
Because of this, the villages and tribes in the Qing Dynasty were all worried, and An Xianguo and they set foot in the land of the Qing Dynasty several months later than Shang Kexi, but judging from the results of the battle after the beginning of spring, the tribal villages that were destroyed under the iron hooves of their cavalry division alone were not less than Shang Kexi.
"Division commander, twenty miles ahead, I found a tribe that is migrating north!"
A scout who had arrived on horseback came to report to An Xianguo what they had discovered.
"Okay, tell the brethren that you can eat and drink again tonight!!"
An Xianguo's face was full of smiles, and then he waved his hand and gave the order heroically.
"Yes!!"
The battlefield is the best place to release the evil in the heart of the human body, Hongmen has always been in the concept of ordinary people, whether it is foreigners or African black slaves, has always maintained a little kindness, but after arriving in the land of the Qing Kingdom, from the beginning to see the Han people under the rule of the Jurchens life is worse than death and other circumstances, to later because of the death of Wu Chao and other colleagues, the Hongtang soldiers have never been soft on the rest of the ethnic tribes in the Qing Dynasty except for the Han and Koreans.
What kind of war has nothing to do with the common people, no indiscriminate killing of innocents, and so on, in the end, the first to destroy it are the backbone non-commissioned officers at the middle and low levels, and then after everyone collectively breaks the precepts, it is out of control.
Of course, this also has a great deal to do with the purpose of destroying the Qing Dynasty as much as possible in the Hongmen plan, like An Xianguo's cavalry army, even if they intercepted and looted countless materials, they wanted to pack it back to enrich their own strength in the depths of the enemy territory, but they were not enough.
Rather than losing a big deal because of a small thing, it is better to simply burn these goods that have fallen into their hands and cannot be carried away, and they must not cheapen their opponents.
Because of this, the Jurchen Mongol Ding, who was unfortunate or lucky enough to slaughter the village and was captured by the An Xianguo Cavalry Division, was slaughtered in cold blood by the cavalry division.
In the long run, the officers and men of the cavalry division from top to bottom have become a little more murderous and cruel, and the tragic situation caused by fighting behind enemy lines is more and more, and it is shocking.
"Yo he!!"
When the cavalry division heard that another brother tribe had appeared, they were about to enter the battlefield again, and the excitement of seeing blood and so on suddenly made the whole team boil.
Knowing that this abnormal emotion was harmful to the soldiers of the cavalry division, An Xianguo could only swallow it alive, and through various brainwashing ideological work, everyone thought that the massacre was of great significance to Hongmen, so that their army did not fall into despair and self-denial for the time being.
Dealing with a small tribe of only a few hundred people, for the officers and men of the Hongtang Cavalry Division, who still have seven or eight thousand numbers, it is simply a piece of cake for Zhang Fei to eat bean sprouts, and the normal encounter took less than an hour to end the battle, looking at the entire battlefield drenched in blood and corpses all over the field, An Xianguo, who seemed to be excited, could not hide a little deep worry in his eyes.
Even nearly a thousand livestock could not escape the black hands of the soldiers of the cavalry division, and the fat yaks and goats that were picked out were skinned and cramped and put on the bonfire for barbecue, and more livestock that could not be eaten were stabbed in the neck by the idle soldiers at night, and the blood flowed into the gray and black land.
Before the Qing people found themselves, the Hongtang cavalry division must slaughter the tribe they encountered, and even the children of a few months old will not be spared, because even if these women, children, old people and children are spared, not to mention how they will hate the Hongtang soldiers in the future, how can they survive the long years just because they are still freezing at the beginning of spring.
"Hurry up and resupply, and leave in an hour!"
In addition to the one hour of battle time, the cavalry division has been in this battlefield for two hours, in order to ensure that they are not tracked down by the Qing army, An Xianguo will never stay in one place for more than six hours, and they are always in motion, which is also the most important reason why their cavalry division can always exist in the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty.
"Yes!"
The soldiers below moved faster, collected dried meat and horse feed, and took advantage of the surplus grain and grass to quickly feed the mounts, and then met the Jurchen Mongol tribe, and I don't know when it will be.
An hour later, piles of livestock carcasses and a large amount of grain were sprinkled with poison developed by the Hongmen Research and Development Park, and then poured buckets of cold water, and after a while, the soldiers of the cavalry division continued to gallop towards the distant grassland of the Qing Dynasty.
More than three hours later, the Qing scouts stumbled upon this battlefield, and after inspecting the tragedy here, their scarlet eyes widened, and they took one last look at this battlefield, and turned back to report to the main army of the Qing Dynasty that was tracking the Hongbaotang Cavalry Division.
More than an hour later, the main force of 10,000 cavalry of the Qing Dynasty galloped over the battlefield.
"Bastard!! Bastard!! Bastard!! ”
Gushan Ezhen Yuedong, who led the team, was furious and almost broke the horsewhip in his hand.
"One step closer, these damn rats!!"
The task of tracking down the Hongtang Cavalry Division was firmly carried out by Yue Dong when he was sent back to the rear by Prince Dolgon. However, the people of the Hongtang Cavalry Division were too slippery, shuttling back and forth along the main logistics lines of the Qing Dynasty, and the fluctuations of the east and the west not only brought a strong deterrent to their logistics supply to the Qing Dynasty, but also declared their existence by clearing out the Jurchen Mongol migration tribes encountered along the way.
The slaughter of the entire Jurchen Mongolian village, the chicken and dog did not leave behind, which was something that even the cruel Jurchens could not do, and it was precisely this almost provocative way of warfare that forced Gushan Ezhen Yuedong, who originally only needed to protect the logistical baggage, to start closely following the footsteps of its Hongtang cavalry division and other troops in addition to the necessary protection, so as to be able to completely eradicate it.
