Chapter 165: The whole army withdraws
At this time, Yongning, which was more than 100 miles away from Lushun, Yang Renyue was afraid that the defenders of Jiannu Gaizhou would attack, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he only hastily collected a pass of food and property and took the prisoners in the city and began to return to Changsheng Island.
It just so happened that Liu Xingzuo's troops also came back with a large number of horses, and the two armies cooperated with one piece, and the black armor army was behind the palace, Liu Xingzuo's servant army and Albugu's troops escorted the prisoners back slowly.
Along the way, the sound of whips, shouts, screams, and the cries of children and women came and went, and it was a miserable scene in the future, the war was so cruel, the losers lost everything, and how many people were ruined because of it.
The more than 10,000 horses, as well as a large amount of forage and horse food, were originally taken care of by Albugu's tribesmen, and at first Liu Xingzuo's troops were escorted and driven, and when the two armies met, they learned that Albugu had taken refuge in a solid manner, and his people did not need to be escorted, and they sincerely helped drive the horses and haul the forage, and some even sang cheerful Mongolian songs.
The Mongols are nomadic and live by water, and they are not at all resistant to moving to Changsheng Island, and it is a common thing for them to move.
Liu Xingzuo distributed the matter of escorting the prisoners, and then rode to the black armor army behind him and gave orders to his boss Yang Renyue.
Liu Xingzuo is different from others, his troops are equal to family troops, several of his generals are his younger brothers or cousins, and most of his soldiers are his clansmen, and their loyalty is very high, so he can leave the army to do his business with confidence.
"Lord General Banner, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, they captured two Tartar horse farms, captured 15,121 good horses and foals, and annihilated 106 defenders of the horse farm...... "Liu Xingzuo will show the battle process, capture and sacrifice one by one.
"Lord Liu has worked hard, this attack on Yongning, your ministry has the most credit, this official will definitely explain everything to the commander, this time your department sacrificed a lot, almost two percent, this official believes that the commander will give you a fair reward." Yang Renyue's kind words comforted him.
"I thank the General Banner for his kind words, this time I attacked Yongning, and I found that the combat strength of our soldiers was weak, and the difference between the soldiers and the soldiers of the Black Armor Army was too far, and the humble position had nothing else to ask for, but to be able to get the guidance of the General Banner Lord and improve the combat strength of our department." Liu Xingzuo sincerely pleaded with emotion.
First of all, his subordinates attacked the city, with heavy casualties but could not advance an inch, but the Black Armor Army attacked the city without much effort, and there were no casualties to annihilate the defending enemy, this contrast is too strong, so Liu Xingzuo desperately hopes to learn the training method of the Black Armor Army and strengthen his own servant army.
"Lord Liu doesn't need to feel sorry for himself, your department is already very good, it is not easy to attack the head of the city, it is not the fault of the soldiers.
The training method of my Black Armor Army, this official will teach it with all his might, but the training method of the Black Armor Army is simple but not simple.
Our army was created by the commander-in-chief, and to put it mildly, he has never accepted any theory of technical warfare in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, but the commander-in-chief created it himself with the posture of heaven and man, and it is self-contained, so there are no cumbersome moves and theories, and you will understand at a glance when you see it, and this is the reason why it is simple.
It's not easy to say, although my black armor army has abandoned complicated moves, but the strength and speed are extremely heavy, and the strength is not up to standard, even archery and knife skills can not be practiced, and it is difficult to become successful. Yang Renyue agreed to Liu Xingzuo's request.
"Lord Zongqi is too modest, how can there be a quick way in the world, if you practice for three years, it is already Liu's luck to be able to meet the standards of the Black Armor Army." Liu Xingzuo is determined to be this student, and he doesn't think that it will be difficult to practice for three years.
Just as the two of them were talking while walking, and the conversation was in full swing, Yang Renyue's slave soldiers reported to him: "Lord Zongqi, I found that there are Tartars who are following from afar, please instruct." ”
The Tartar is hanging far away, and it is really annoying, but what can be done, like a fly, as soon as you chase him away, as soon as you retreat he comes again, and the cavalry sent out must be elite and strong, otherwise it is to deliver food to the Tartar, which will add to the trouble.
Yang Renyue had no choice but to order: "Regardless of him, if the Tartars dare to come within a hundred meters of the range, shoot the damn for me, and let the Tartars know how powerful my Black Armor Army is." ”
"Yes," the slave soldier bowed and obeyed the order.
"Lord Zongqi, do you want to send a few good hands to do them?" Liu Xingzuo actively contributed.
"No, the Tartars are all one person and three horses, you can't catch up, we don't need to cover up, we are not afraid that the Tartars know about Changsheng Island, even if the Tartars come with tens of thousands of troops, we are not afraid of the Black Armor Army.
If we don't have this confidence, we don't dare to come to Liaodong, what are the Tartars afraid of, when my Black Armor Army Xi can ride a horse, that is when we go to fight the Tartars. Yang Rentian waved his hand and said confidently.
Yang Renyue's implication was to explain to him that the Black Armor Army's withdrawal to Changsheng Island was not because of fear of Jiannu, but because of the training of cavalry, which was a strategic retreat.
Yang Renyue's arrogance gave Liu Xingzuo considerable confidence, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and now it seems that the Black Armor Army is indeed a strong army.
Due to the large number of old and young prisoners, and the icy and snowy environment, the marching speed of the troops is very slow, and they can only march ten miles a day, which is still the relationship between a large number of horses and hauling materials, and the prisoners basically only need to walk, and a small number of frail old people and young children can also take carriages.
In this way, the troops marched at a rapid pace, and after five days, the troops finally crossed the strait and stepped on the ground of Changsheng Island. This was due to the fact that some of the troublemakers, who had deliberately hindered the advance of the procession, had been cleared in the previous two days, and the rest of the men were known to be afraid, so the march was much faster.
It took five days on the road, the Tartars did not pursue, Yang Renyue and Yang Rentian also knew that the Tartars could not attack Changsheng Island for the time being, due to the large number of people, and a large number of materials and horses, Yang Renyue stationed the troops in the Niangniang Palace not far from Beixunkou, Yang Rentian continued to lead the troops forward, arrived at the fort on the other side of the Nanxunkou, and the two brothers guarded a strait pass to prevent the Tartars from attacking Changsheng Island.
So far, the Black Armor Army has completely withdrawn from the land, and also ended the military operation against Jiannu, which can be regarded as a successful completion of the expected goal, and what is even more unexpected is that a large number of horses from the two horse ranches in Tartar have been captured, and Yang Wenli's strategic goal of coming to Liaodong has been basically completed, and there are enough horses to form cavalry.
It took two days to resettle the various departments, and the logistics department took over the control of the prisoners, and Yang Renyue led the main generals to Yang Wenli to reply to the order, especially Albugu, who had never seen the commander and had not even assigned his position.
From the Niangniang Palace to the Commandery's Palace, almost the entire island had to be crossed, and in this cold winter, it was difficult to do it in two days, but Albugu thought of a way, using horses to pull a sled, and those who couldn't ride horses, took a sled, which was much faster than walking, and it took a day to finally arrive at the Commander's Palace.
