Chapter 146: Nanguan Guard
Nanxunkou was the first time that the Black Armor Army captured the Tartars, and the dozens of Tartars saw that the Black Armor Army was too strong, and it was useless to resist, and they took into account the wives and children in the fort, so they had to surrender after the Black Armor Army occupied the fort wall.
Yang Rentian, who had been taught by Yang Wenli in person, immediately thought in his heart, these Tartars surrendered in consideration of their families, and they were a type of people who could be used completely, and it just so happened that the small banner of the fifth brother lacked a team, so it was better to transfer a few privates from the logistics department to form a team.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, Yang Rentian ordered the slave soldiers to summon Yang Renyu and Lu Chuanzong, the director of the baggage department, to share their thoughts and ideas.
Both of them felt that it was feasible, and Lu Chuanzong also extended: "Lord General Banner, this is a new type of army expansion system, and it is a method to rapidly expand our Black Armor Army, we should attach great importance to it, and experiment with this newly formed army, if it is feasible, Lord General Banner will make great contributions." ”
Lu Chuanzong's high evaluation made Yang Rentian feel like a fairy, he smiled, waved his hand and said: "Director Lu is too prestigious, but we really should pay attention to it, so be it!" Fifth brother, you and Director Lu are personally responsible for the formation of this army, and personally serve as the chief and deputy head of this special team. You must pay attention to the balance of hardness and softness, and make these Tartars understand the superiority of our army's slave system, and that meritorious service on the battlefield is also the only way for their families to get out of slavery, and so on. ”
The two who "obeyed the order" and felt a great responsibility immediately stood up and saluted and promised.
Why did Lu Chuanzong give Yang Rentian such a high evaluation? It is because these Tartars themselves have a strong foundation and good physical fitness, but they do not have a good training method, they are generally hunting in the mountains and forests, and they have accumulated a lot of actual combat experience on the cruel battlefield, and they can ride horses one by one, and their future achievements are actually much greater than those of these soldiers now, so it is an excellent method that can quickly expand the army without reducing the strength of the troops.
Lu Chuanzong first transferred five privates from the logistics department who had made the most meritorious contributions to the enemy, and said to these five lucky ones who still didn't know anything: "Originally, you didn't have enough merit to be promoted to soldiers, but now that the troops are in need, they plan to let you serve as soldiers temporarily, each commanding five slave soldiers, and in the future, you will kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and then make up for your merits, so that you can officially become a glorious soldier."
You should have thought about it, yes, the slaves are the captured Tartars, how can you take these slaves well? It is not enough to blindly use the strong, you must make them understand our army's excellent slave soldier system, so that they will spontaneously produce upward enthusiasm, and they will consciously obey your command, and at the same time, you must also carefully teach our army's military rules and regulations, so that they will soon grow into qualified black-armored soldiers. ”
There is a way of misfortune from the sky, but these lucky privates are blessed from the sky, they can actually make an exception to lead five slave soldiers, so as soon as Lu Chuanzong finished speaking, they hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you Lord Lu for your promotion, thank you Lord Lu for your promotion." ”
In addition, this time Lu Chuanzong was also the biggest beneficiary, due to the special situation, he also personally served as a deputy commander, and the remaining Tartars became his slaves.
is mainly a radish and a pit, and there are many other officers and slave soldiers, and they can't be increased, so they can only cheapen Lu Chuanzong, a civilian officer, and he has also become the only civilian officer in the Black Armor Army who has slave soldiers.
Because of the need to reorganize the dozens of Tartars, the troops stopped at Nanxunkou for a day.
According to the information obtained from the surrender of the Tartars, there were only two Niulu Tartars in the entire Golden State, one of which was stationed at Nanguan to guard against the Ming army in Lushun.
Another Niu Lu was scattered in several forts along the coast, facing the coastal islands of Dongjiang Town, from south to north, Wanghai Fort, Red Mouth Fort, Guifu Fort and Yellow Bone Island Fort.
Each of those forts only has a few dozen Tartars, plus the armor soldiers and their Aha, a total of more than 200 troops, because of the defensive duties, this time the slave chieftain expedition to Monan, did not draw their strength, therefore, those two Niu Lu are horses and cannons, there are elite white armor soldiers and red armor soldiers, not ordinary Niu Lu can be compared.
In fact, the Black Armor Army captured Fuzhou, the Tartar of Jinzhou has become a turtle in the urn, the ancient times are not as developed as modern transportation, basically only the official road can go, the ancient city is to pinch the official road, mainly only the official road has built a bridge, no bridge is naturally no way.
In order not to be noticed by the Ming army in Dongjiang Town, Yang Rentian planned to temporarily let go of those coastal forts and attack Nanguan with all his might.
There were cannons in Nanguan, so it was not easy to attack, Yang Rentian did not dare to use simple ladders to attack the city, so he immediately ordered the soldiers of the logistics department to escort the old and young Tartars of Nanxunkou back to Changsheng Island, and summoned dozens of boatmen who knew how to carpenter to join the troops.
In order to wait for the carpenters, the troops did not set out until lunch, and did not take the official road, which was too far to alarm the Tartars of the coastal forts, but took advantage of the opportunity of the freezing sea to take a shortcut and crossed the bay from the sea to the Golden State.
Jinzhou has been abandoned by the Tartars, there are no defenders, and the black armor army, which only arrived in the evening, is just used to shelter from the wind and cold, and it also saves the hardship of camping.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the troops had breakfast and set out for the camp, Jinzhou and Nanguan were very close, and the defenders of Nanguan knew about it not long after the troops were just started.
Nanguan actually replaced the function of Jinzhou City, there is a full Niulu stationed in Zhenghuang Banner, there are more than 400 adult males, plus a soldier and Aha, the soldiers who can fight are on a thousand, and it is one of the few big Niulu in Houjin.
Nanguan was originally an important defense to prevent the Ming army in Lushun and the Ming army on the coastal islands of Dongjiang Town, but now a large number of enemies came from behind, and the defenders of Nanguan immediately sent scouts to investigate the reality.
The Ming army was in charge of the sentry and the sentry was called Karen, and the Houjin was in charge of the sentinel called Karen, generally twenty to fifty people, and the setting of Karen was earlier than that of Houjin Liguo.
The Karen sent by Nanguan was really a white-armored soldier, named Tulu, and he commanded thirty-five troops, but when he saw that the black-armored army neither sent troops to drive away, nor divided the troops, and there was no flaw to be found, he had to lead his subordinates to turn around and go back to report.
"Newspaper" ...... Tulu chanted loudly, knelt on one knee in front of Niu Lu Ezhen Ming Antu Bayan and made a thousand reports: "Lord Ezhen, the enemy is a group of all-ironclad heavy infantry of unknown forces, with more than 500 soldiers, no horses, no auxiliaries. ”
"Unknown forces? All-ironclad hoplites? In this place in southern Liaoning, in addition to the Ming army, how can there be an army of unknown forces? Ming An Tubayan asked in disbelief.
"The armor of the enemy is strange, pure black, completely different from the Ming army, and there are no spearmen, artillery, cavalry, etc., it seems to be a full archer." Tooru reported again.
"No spearmen, no artillery, no cavalry, isn't this sent to death? How can he stop my daughter's really invincible iron horse? After listening to Tulu's report, Ming'an Tubayan immediately became happy, and he got carried away.
Then he thought of another possibility, and asked Tulu again: "Does the enemy have a shield car?" ”
"No, it seems that the enemy only has archers, only a small number of baggage soldiers, and even the baggage soldiers are armor soldiers." Tulu replied again.
