Ah Cheng saw Tabu Sang galloping from several miles away, gradually becoming clear from a small point, and when he was more than a dozen steps away, Ta Bu Sang bowed on his horse and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "I've seen Taiji." ”

Ah Cheng nodded, and said to Tabunang: "The situation in Qingcheng is quite stable, but I heard that Tobok and a group of Taiji are wandering between the major Bansheng lands, they arrived in Qingcheng first, and after the army turned back, they fled again, and now my Tumut tribes can no longer fall into civil strife, Tobok this person...... Can't stay. ”

Ah Cheng's face showed murderous aura, and he said to Tabu Nang: "You must find the place where Tobok and the others are, and when I return to the division, the first thing I will do is to exterminate them." ”

Tabu Nang's face did not move, and he said, "Taiji means that the cause of the Great Khan's death must not be revealed?" But I've heard that Tobock and others are already making a lot of noise about it. ”

Ah Cheng said: "What is the use of what the dead say? ”

Ah Cheng was a little upset, these things are a mess at the moment, and he has to deal with Tobok and others after he goes back, it is not easy to chase and kill the enemy on the grassland, he can't get to chase and kill thousands of miles, the soldiers are tired, and he doesn't know if it can be easy to make contributions!

Tabu Nang nodded thoughtfully, Ah Cheng waved his hand when he saw this, meaning to tell Tabu Nang to retreat, at this time he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, looked down, but saw that there was an iron spear in his chest, the spearhead had passed through the body, and only most of the spear body was still outside.

Seeing that the spear was in Tabu Nang's hand, Ah Cheng glared and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Tabu Nang said: "It was obviously me who killed the Great Khan that day, and I killed Tobok and others, if you push this matter on me, you will wash it cleanly, we can't beat the Han people, you are still calculating infighting all day long, with a useless Taiji like you, we Mongolians will be defeated in the hands of the Han people." ”

Ah Cheng was speechless, blood was already spurting from his mouth, Tabu Bag pulled the iron spear, Ah Cheng was like a sack, and the whole person fell down.

At this time, Ah Cheng's guards realized that something was wrong, Tabu Sang had already fled on horseback, the guards chased after him, Ta Bu Sang took off the bow and arrows and twisted his body to shoot back, after he shot down the two of them, the guards felt that they were not opponents, and gradually slowed down their horses, and Ta Bu Sang rode away from the horse.

After running for more than ten miles, seeing that there was only grass around and no one around, Tabu Sang slowed down his horse and told the war horse to rest. He furrowed his brows, pondered for a long time, and finally turned his horse's head and galloped slowly in the direction of the east.

……

"Brother Zunlu, Brother Zhizhi, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Zhang Han was full of spring breeze and smiled very happily.

There was a light snow the day before yesterday, and the weather suddenly changed from the feeling of late summer and early autumn to cold winter, and the temperature at night has reached about minus 10 degrees, but on the grassland, this temperature is really just the beginning of winter.

In October of the second year of the Apocalypse, winter was quietly coming, and He Yusheng's business on the grassland was diametrically opposed to the weather, and it was in full swing.

Zhang Han was happy in his heart, Sun Jingting and Li Shenming were still followed by Liang Xing, Wang Changfu, Duo'er, Yang Sisun and Li Laibin, Wang Yikui and other senior generals almost all came, only Li Zhiye and Zhu Dayong and others were still stationed in the area of Xiaoheihe Fort and Xinghe Fort, and now it is not the 12 Tumut Divisions that they are wary of, but the forces of the Taokou and Karaqin and other departments.

When the Mongolian army withdrew, although it was cautious, a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals were given to Ah Cheng to cut off, who knew that he and Yusheng had arranged in advance, the two sides were not at the same level in army scheduling, and there was a world of difference in intelligence collection, as soon as the Mongolian army moved, Zhang Han immediately knew the direction and approximate route of the departure of each department, and the number of men and horses to receive and the approximate location also knew seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, according to the intelligence to dispatch the army, gathered all the cavalry, blocked the waist and struck a blow, and the main force where Xi Lingse was located was attacked across the north, Then he defeated the front team of Baiyin Taiji, and now the Tumut Department, all Ding Kou is estimated to be sixty or seventy thousand people, among which quite a few are immature children and weak old people, a large number of Ding Zhuang were either beheaded or fled without a trace, Tumut's remaining strength is no longer enough to launch a battle with Yusheng next year, and the situation has been completely reversed.

Next year's goal has changed from expanding the army to defeat Tumut to defeating Tumut and completely conquering Guihua City after expanding the army, and suppressing the Taobu and Karaqin and other tribes.

Zhang Han was in a good mood, jumped off the horse, and hugged Sun Jingting and Li Shenming.

Li Shenming was the first to take it and shouted: "Wenlan, you don't have to do this kind of Tartar etiquette in the territory of the Tartars, right?" ”

Sun Jingting said with a straight face: "Wenlan, I heard that my little sister is about to give birth...... When will you turn back to Li Zhuang? ”

Zhang Han laughed and let go of his arms, and the officers present laughed out loud.

Li Gui, who was in the group of officers, glanced at Zhang Shixiong and the others, and sure enough, he saw that a group of young officers were all pale.

At this time, everyone understood how close Zhang Han was to these two "gentlemen", and it was completely a feeling of being regarded as a right-hand man.

In fact, Li Shenming and Sun Jingting also completely lived up to the trust, the east and west roads were presided over very well, in the last battle, Sun Jingting presided over the infantry team with the cooperation of the vehicle formation and artillery, the front team of the retreating troops in the north was directly defeated, Xi Lingse and others, also had to flee to the north, plus the previous presiding work, Sun Jingting and Li Shenming two people, can be regarded as in the army really have the prestige of mastering the situation of one side.

"There's something else going on here." Zhang Han explained to Sun Jingting: "I received a letter from Li Zhuang a few days ago, and the surrounding Wen Po has already found a few of the most experienced people in Li Zhuang, and there are also military doctors to cooperate, to be honest, I can't help much after I go back." ”

Having said that, Zhang Han's face did reveal a mixture of regret and worry.

Yu Niang wants to give birth to a child, in this era of women are an out-and-out life and death pass, the mortality rate is very high, dystocia, postpartum infection, hemorrhage, in this era are considered terminal diseases, whether it is a doctor or a stable woman who delivers the baby, they are all powerless.

It was only at this time that Zhang Han felt deeply that the so-called progress of modern medicine has really put an end to a lot of suffering...... For example, it's hard to imagine what would happen to Yu Niang if she couldn't survive this hurdle?

Zhang Han's expression was clearly seen by Sun Jingting and Li Shenming, Sun Jingting was originally a little dissatisfied, but at this time he became uneasy, he waved his hand, and said to Zhang Han: "I also received a letter, and the family said that several stable women said that Yu Niang is in good health, and long-term martial arts practice is conducive to production, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Zhang Han nodded, put away his thoughts, turned around and got on the horse again, at this time Wang Changfu rode over and said loudly: "My lord, the troops have been assembled, please review!" ”

"Good!"

Zhang Han only replied briefly, Wang Changfu and the others opened the way on the side, in front of Zhang Han's eyes, on the vast and boundless grassland, above the military fort of Jining Fort, an army of more than 10,000 people had been spread out, and behind him was the boundless grassland, before the yellow withered grass and the unmelted snow were all the merchant soldiers in gray military robes.

There are more than 1,000 cavalry, half cuirassiers and half armored cavalry, there are more than 1,000 infantry, of which seventy percent are musketeers and pikemen, and about thirty percent of the jumping soldiers, the proportion of soldiers is a little too much, but in the last battle commanded by Sun Jingting, the performance of the jumping soldiers is very good, impressive, they also won greater honors, many soldiers were sent to participate in this military parade held in Jining Fort this time.

The remaining more than 7,000 people are artillerymen, baggage soldiers and baggage formations, more than 100 carts are in the formation, inserted in front of the car, the side of the carriage door is open, and all kinds of artillery are placed in front of everyone.

In the past few months, Li Zhuang's firearms bureau has not been idle, a large number of artillery, especially the tiger squat cannon and the Franc machine, the former of these two kinds of guns weigh dozens of pounds, the latter sample and the medium sample Franc machine does not weigh more than 200 pounds, easy to cast, a large number of production, a steady stream of sent to the front, especially after the road is opened, the forts have been fully supplemented, the number of artillery has increased greatly, this is also the origin of the army vehicle array began to show its prestige, in the early days, due to the lack of artillery, the car array is only a supplement to the defensive formation, to a large number of combat vehicles equipped with artillery, The formation has both offensive and defensive functions, and it has indeed performed well in battle.

Hongyi cannons have been cast more than 20 in the past few months, and when added to the previous number, the number of cannons with Yusheng has exceeded 40, which is a very terrifying number.

Although more than seventy percent of these guns were four-pounder guns, only a few six-pounder guns, and a few nine-pounder guns, the more the guns were cast, and the craftsmen became more and more skillful...... Although the training of artillery recruits and officers is Li Zhuang's top priority, the training speed of officers and gunners is still far from catching up with the speed of casting artillery.

Tang Ruowang and the others had already been escorted to Li Zhuang in advance, where they were also training gunners, but Zhang Han felt that the role of putting these white-skinned guys in Li Zhuang was greater, and they were more suitable to play a role in the Firearms Bureau and the Military Academy.

When Zhang Han came over, all the soldiers looked at him.

The troops that were reviewed, except for a small number of Jiningbao garrisons, most of them were stationed in various places on the east and west roads, for several months, many people could not see Zhang Han's figure at all, before this battle, in addition to being ordered to go out on a mission, most of them were trained and stationed in the barracks area of Lizhuang, Zhang Han would run circles with these soldiers every morning, and sometimes he would go to the military canteen to eat with everyone, and every few days he would go to the soldiers' dormitory area to see the living situation. The soldiers' feelings for him are also very deep, in addition to the gratitude after receiving the favor, there is more respect and worship, and this emotion is more solid and deep than the gratitude brought by the small favor and small favor.
