Chapter 163: Emergency Rescue
It didn't take long for the days of Yongping Village to be stable, and on this day, the Yuan army that followed the displaced people actually stumbled into Yongping Village by mistake.
The abundance of the place is enough to surprise outsiders, not only is there no beggar, but even the debris and debris on the road are not visible.
The two thousand homeless people running in front of them were a little desperate, this was clearly a town that had not been baptized by war, even if it was self-made, it would be suddenly crushed by the iron cavalry of the Yuan army!
The Tartar cavalry of nearly 1,000 people behind them looked straight at each other, this town was simply the best choice for them to burn and plunder! It's been a long time since I've seen such a rich town, where there is a lot of money, a lot of food, and a beautiful little lady from the Song Dynasty!
The Tartars are running bloody, the town ahead is the best stimulant, and their galloping horses are speeding up!
Coincidentally, Zhao Gong happened to take 20,000 recruits to Dabaocheng for training, and there were only a thousand people left in Yongping Village, some of whom had to be stationed in granaries and bullet production lines, so Zhao Rui only took a team of more than 300 people to meet the enemy just in case.
This time Zhao Rui brought some veterans, they heard that they were going out to fight Tartars, they were very happy, Zhao Rui did not arrange a war recently, they veterans still miss the pleasure of killing the enemy with guns and bullets, they haven't experienced it for a long time, and they still miss it a little.
Some of the recruits saw the strange performance of the veterans preparing to go to war, and called them perverted in their hearts, how could they go out to fight so happily, thinking that it was a temple fair?
Everyone was familiar with the road, took their rifles and **, and rode horses with Zhao Rui to the northeast corner of the city.
I saw that a group of displaced people were tired of hurrying, and the Tartars behind were about to catch up, and the last few people who ran were even pierced by the arrows from the Tartars and died.
"Stop!"
Zhao Ruilu saw that it was uneven, and roared on the ground. Unexpectedly, the Tartars did not frighten them, but scared the homeless people to the point that they fell several times.
"Hurry up! Sharp! Fast...... Come on! ”
The soldiers under his command were also anxious and urged the people one after another.
The Tartar on the opposite side saw that the Song army was coming out, and slowly slowed down his horse.
The leader of the Tartars took the lead with a sneer, seeing these Song people was like seeing a group of trampled corpses, just a few people wanted to stop the thousand-strong Yuan army? Not to mention 300 people, even 3,000 Song people, the Tartars dare to rush up and kill him, these Song people are useless straw bales, and they are all waste that can be cut down!
"You ......" The Tartar leader pointed at Zhao Rui and the others, as if he wanted to say something threatening.
"Wait!" Zhao Rui shouted loudly.
Looking at the Tatar leader who was interrupted, Zhao Rui said with some amusement: "Shameless Tartar barbarians, this is my territory, it's not your turn to be presumptuous!" If you flee back quickly, I will spare you a way to live!" ”
The veterans were in a commotion, and they all said that they didn't understand, why did the prince always have no mercy for the Tartars, how did he change his sex today?
The Tartars on the opposite side were stunned, not because they were afraid, but because they regarded Zhao Rui and these Song people as fools, they still wanted to threaten the Yuan army on this basis, they were really tired!
The Tartar generals led by "Hehe......" were about to speak again, but were interrupted by Zhao Rui.
"I expected you to be disobedient, so I'd better get you on your way as soon as possible! Shoot it all! ”
As soon as Zhao Rui finished speaking, he first pulled the trigger of the M249.
The roaring machine guns spewed out endless life-seeking flames, and some of the veterans behind them had not yet reacted, and when they saw others shooting, they also hurried to follow.
"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Sudden ......"
The rampaging bullets were like pear blossoms in a rainstorm, forming a deadly and undodging barrage.
In a moment's effort, all the Tartars on the other side were killed and wounded.
"Forehead ......"
The leader of the Tartars still breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhao Rui unwillingly.
Where is this? Who are they? Is this a musket? Why don't you let people talk......
couldn't get up in one breath, and this brave Tartar general died suddenly, completely suffocated by Zhao Rui.
"Alright, clean up the battlefield! All weapons are brought back to make farming tools! ”
After Zhao Rui gave the order, he returned as if nothing happened.
Nearly two thousand wanderers were also attracted by the sound of gunfire when they were halfway through, and by the time they turned their heads to look closely, the Tartar cavalry had no one alive.
Zhao Rui rode slowly, and in the eyes of many homeless people, he felt that this young man had suddenly become tall and mighty, and he was like a god!
The accidental invasion of the Yuan army, Zhao Rui was not prepared to leave a living mouth, and the thousand cavalry, like drops of water falling into the ocean, disappeared in an instant.
They provided Yongpingzhai with iron tools, war horses, and even countless horse meat.
Although the taste of horse meat is not too good, it is a delicacy for people who have limited meat consumption!
Zhao Rui didn't have it alone, so he immediately ordered someone to cut the horse meat and let the people of Yongping Village enjoy it, and some of it was sent to Dabaocheng, just to supplement the nutrition of those recruits' eggs.
The horse meat is tough, and the 2,000 homeless people who have just arrived are eating rice porridge and munching on horse meat, feeling like they are eating the flesh and blood of Tartar, and they want to vent their full resentment on gnawing on it.
Zhao Rui took advantage of their meal to ask where they came from, and when he heard that they were from Sitongzhou, Zhao Rui was silent.
Sitong Prefecture is located in the west of Yongzhou, and it is also located in the east and north of Longzhou, which shows that Longzhou is about to be invaded!
A few days ago, Ma Yue sent someone to send gold and silver, totaling 150,000 taels, and Zhao Rui was a little smacked by the amount of money, who knew that he had been busy for many days, and he was not as much as he earned as a magic stick.
Now Zhao Rui has 250,000 cash and is ready to buy grain, but the trading route with Zhancheng has not yet been opened, and the silver can only be honestly kept in his hands.
Alas, there is no way to invest in this era! You must know that the purchasing power of silver in this era is still very strong, but Zhao Rui can only use the money on armaments, which can be regarded as a long-term investment!
Zhao Rui then sent another order, and built a lot of dwellings in Dabaocheng, Hulang City and Wanya Prefecture, and when the people of Longzhou and Guangyuan Prefecture fled, they could be used as their temporary shelter.
As for why it is temporary, it is because Zhao Rui has not given up the idea of Guangyuan Prefecture at all, and Zhao Rui will not be willing to give up the gold-rich town.
Zhao Rui strengthened the patrol forces around Yongping Village, and at the same time reminded Zhao Gong that the Great War was imminent, and asked him to strengthen the training of recruits. Moreover, he urgently mobilized 3,000 veterans with guns in Wanya Prefecture, left 500 guns each for Hulang and Wanyazhou, and divided half of the 4,000 people in Hulang City to Wanya Prefecture to garrison.
For a time, Dabaocheng was overcrowded, and the crowded barracks were full of hustle and bustle before the storm came.
At the same time, Zhao Rui was still waiting for the displaced people in the north, but he waited and waited, and when Zhao Rui almost lost his patience, he actually waited for the letter sent by Ma Yue.
When he opened it, Zhao Rui gasped, because the development of the tense was very different from what he thought.
The letter clearly said that the Yuan army invaded Longzhou, and the Dali army attacked Guangyuan Prefecture at the same time under the control of the Yuan army.
Now there are more than 280,000 people on the mountain, and it is almost crowded, and the food on the mountain is in great shortage, if there is no turnaround, I am afraid that some people will starve to death!
It's not that Ma Yue didn't expect to lead people to break through, it's just that now they can resist the siege of the Yuan army and the Dali army by relying on the mountain, but if they fail to lead people to break through, they will be surrounded and suppressed by the cavalry of both sides!
Zhao Rui closed the letter heavily, in general, Ma Yue meant two words: help!
Time is not waiting, Zhao Rui immediately dispatched troops, transferred Fang Hongbin to Yongping Village to guard, and gave his 2,000 guards with guns, Dabaocheng because of its central position, only 100 people were left to defend the city, and the rest of the people, not to be recruits and veterans, were all formed together, plus the 3,000 people drawn from Wanya Prefecture, a total of 25,000 people were formed!
And this time it really achieved the mode of three people and one team, two red tassel guns with a rifle, which can maximize the rational use of firearms, and shoot in rotation, so that all members can get live-fire training.
After nearly a month of accumulation, Zhao Rui has an extra 300,000 rounds of ammunition, and this time the bullets are unlimited, and it will definitely kill the Tartars and the Dali army, and it hurts!
Let them all have a long memory, let them know that this realm will always belong to Zhao Rui, and no one will think about it!
Grain, grass, and ammunition were all prepared, and Zhao Rui gave an order, and the whole army advanced in the direction of Longzhou!
In fact, Zhao Rui also hopes to be able to achieve the armament of one gun per person, but there are more than 10,000 guns in his hand, and the source of modern firearms is gone. So it seems that this problem has to be solved in ancient times.
Even if Zhao Rui can't buy military machine tools, he can also buy ordinary machine tools, go back and look for information, if he can mass-produce the Makqin machine gun, then Zhao Rui can really be overbearing in this world.
No matter what the force, no matter how old it is, it will eventually be torn to shreds by merciless machine-gun bullets!
This time, Zhao Rui's army passed by the states and counties that could not turn a blind eye, such a team of 25,000 people is equivalent to the configuration of a large army, those state officials and county officials came forward to visit, and heard that it was the prince who was going to lead the troops to fight the Yuan army, they all gave a thumbs up, and then did their best to provide some food and grass materials.
In fact, it is not that they are afraid of the power of the prince, but that at the end of the Song and Yuan wars, many cities in the north have been destroyed, and there are no eggs under the nest.
After all, it was an army of 25,000 people, which was rare to see in a small town on the southwestern border.
Zhao Rui's army only rested in Frozen Prefecture for one night, and when it was close to noon the next day, they arrived near Longyan Mountain.
Carrying the binoculars, Zhao Rui stood on a high place, looking at the Yuan army below, and secretly sighed that the enemy was really a lot of his sister!
