Chapter 232: Light and Dark Food Transport Team
Zhang Ke, the commander-in-chief of the Datong Guard, led 2,000 guards to escort 200 carts to the north. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info all the carts, there is a small flag, and a big word "grain" is written on the flag.
An adjutant general of the Datongwei said to Zhang Ke: "General Zhang, further forward is the territory of the Tatars." As soon as they entered the territory of the Tatars, the lives of the brothers were in danger! β
Zhang Ke sighed: "Grandma's! This surnamed Chen is really ruthless! He actually asked Lao Tzu to personally lead people to escort these hundreds of truckloads of weeds as bait for fishing! β
The adjutant general was surprised: "What? Mr. Zhang, didn't you say that these hundreds of carts were loaded with the military rations needed by the Flying Tiger Army? How can it be a weed? β
Zhang Ke scolded angrily: "What kind of military food! I'll tell you the truth, there is no food in the sacks on these two hundred carts! It's all weeds and mud! What Chen Di did this is to let our brothers from the Datong Guard Army be fishing bait to lure the Tatar cavalry to attack us, so that his real grain transport team can supply him with grain and grass in time! Grandma's, they all say that it depends on the owner to beat the dog, but he doesn't care about Yan Shoufu's feelings at all! Let Lao Tzu personally lead the escort! If we really encounter the cavalry of the Tatars, will our brothers be able to fight it? β
The adjutant general said: "In this case, Mr. Zhang, you should take the brothers back to Datongwei!" Beware of the scimitars of the Tatar cavalry! Where are the Brethren opponents of the Tatar cavalry? β
Zhang Ke said: "I can dodge the scimitar of the Tatar cavalry, but I can't dodge the waist knife of his Chen Dadudu!" Do you know that this Chen Di has a nickname called Chen Shaved? How many people did he kill in Zhejiang? How many people were killed in the capital? Xia Yan is amazing, right? At the beginning, he was a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the cabinet, and Chen Di didn't say kill when he gave the order? If we disobey Chen Di's order, we will definitely lose our heads! β
The adjutant general said, "What can I do?" This advance is also death, and retreat is also deathγγγγγγ β
Zhang Ke said: "You give the brothers an order, if you really encounter Tatar cavalry, immediately retreat in the direction of Datongwei." I don't want all the grain trucks! Chen Di said, as long as we lure the Tatar cavalry to besiege our grain convoy, our task will be completed! Let's camera retreat! β
A cold sweat broke out on the adjutant general's head: "My lord, my chief soldier, where did our two legs run over the four legs of the Tatar cavalry war horse?" By then, I'm afraid it's too late to withdraw! β
Zhang Ke said: "I can't care so much!" Fortunately, our military attachΓ©s above the seventh rank of Datong Weizheng have mountsγγγγγ Our horses were all purchased from the Tatars, and they must not be much slower than the horses of the Tatar cavalryγγγγγ As for whether the big-headed soldiers can outrun the Tatar horses, it doesn't matter! β
Zhang Ke's "grain transport team" had just crossed the Juliu River, and thousands of Tatar cavalry appeared on the flank!
The Tatar cavalry was commanded by Altan Khan's deputy, Wanhu Chena.
Thousands of cavalry rushed towards the Datong Guard. The commander-in-chief, Zhang Ke, was so frightened that he ordered the whole army to retreat south. The officials desperately whipped the horse's buttocks with leather whips, while the big-headed soldiers spread their feet and ran south with all their strength.
More than 200 "grain trucks" were discarded by the Juliu River.
A Tatar commander said to Chena: "General Zhena, these cowardly Ming people are really a flock of cowardly lambs! Seeing us Tatar horsemen will only run away! Are we going to pursue it south? β
Zhena shook his head: "The Great Khan said that as long as we can grab their grain carts, our mission has been accomplished." Chen Di is scheming, beware of him setting a trap for us! β
The commander nodded, "Yes! General Zhena, now that these grain trucks have fallen into our hands, the Flying Tiger Army will run out of food soon! At that time, the main force of our Tatar Iron Cavalry will be able to destroy the main force of the Flying Tiger Army with an empty stomach! β
Zhena dismounted, walked over to a grain cart, and patted the sack on the grain cart with her hand.
"What's going on? There doesn't seem to be food in this sack! Zhena asked.
He drew his scimitar and stabbed it in the sack. The sack was pierced with a hole, and a lot of sand and gravel debris flowed out of the hole.
Zhena stabbed a dozen sacks of grain wagons with a scimitar in a row, all like this.
Zhena was shocked: "No, fooled! This is not the real grain transport team of the Flying Tiger Army at all! This cunning Chen Di! Someone, immediately hurry up and report this to the Great Khan! β
Altan Khan led 80,000 Tatar headquarters cavalry and 40,000 Warat troops to follow all the way fifteen miles next to the main force of Chen Di's Flying Tiger Army! Altan Khan saw the power of the Flying Tiger weapons in the battle of the capital. He knew that he couldn't go head-to-head with the Flying Tigers. When a wolf on the grassland encounters a person, it will not pounce and bite directly. They will follow people and when the time is right, they will suddenly pounce and bite their throats.
Altan Khan was convinced that the way of the wolf was the way of the soldiers. He and the main force of the Tatar cavalry have been following Chen Di and his Flying Tiger Army. He was waiting for the news that Zhena had cut off the Flying Tigers' food route. As long as the Flying Tiger Army's food channel is cut off, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army will be cut off from food. No matter how powerful the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army are, they can't fight the Tatar cavalry with their deflated stomachs! At that time, it was time for Altan Khan, a hungry wolf, to bite Chen Di's throat!
Zhena's men hurriedly approached Altan Khan and reported to him about the Ming army's fake grain transport team.
Altan Khan was furious: "This cunning Chen Di! You immediately go back and tell Zhena that his 5,000 iron cavalry will not come back to join my main force, and let him search for the real grain transportation team of the Ming army on the front line of the Juliu River! We must try to cut off Chen Di's grain channel! β
Somewhere on the south bank of the Great Stream River. Hu Zongxian was crossing the Juliu River with a thousand Flying Tiger Arms Men escorting two hundred truckloads of military rations.
Hu Zongxian knew that he had a heavy responsibility. He understood that the Northern Expedition army fought deep into the hinterland of the grassland, and the grain road was the lifeline! It's the guarantee of winning! There must be no room for any error in the transportation of grain!
He ordered a pontoon bridge to be erected, and in three hours all the grain wagons were finally transported to the other side.
Zhao Laogen, the commander of the Flying Tiger Military Battalion, has repeatedly made great contributions and is quite used by Chen Di. The 1,000 Flying Tiger Arms Gun who transported the grain this time had the battalion he commanded.
Zhao Laogen found Hu Zongxian: "Hu Butang, seven or eight Tatar scout cavalry were found ahead!" β
Hu Zongxian was shocked: "What? Tatar scout cavalry? Wipe them out on the spot! β
Zhao Lao Genyu reported: "Hu Butang, those Tatar scouts are slippery like loaches. As soon as they found us, they immediately withdrew! β
Hu Zongxian said: "It's broken! Now that the Tatar scouts have discovered us, a large number of cavalry will attack us immediately! Order the brethren to be on guard! The paper shells are all loaded, ready to fight! β
