After contemplation, Huang Taiji was even more shocked, if he really mastered this trade route, it would be equivalent to the opening of countless horse markets in Liaodong, and many resources that could not be obtained and replenished after the war could continue to be replenished in a steady stream, no wonder this Zhang Han was so confident.

In an instant, Huang Taiji made a decision, and he said to Tan Tai, who came with him: "Leave one person to protect Kurtang, and we will return with this Han proprietor to kill those Mongols." ”

A trace of excitement flashed across Tan Tai's face, he and other elite soldiers who fought all the way from his banner to the swing of his teeth are the best and lucky ones on the battlefield, and he will be slightly injured at most in every battle, not only is he not afraid of fighting, but he has some expectations.

Tan Tai's military exploits and qualifications are also talked about in the swing of teeth, Tan Tai's military exploits are very good, but the qualifications are still far behind, and every time he fights, he can add weight to his seniority.

The Jurchens soon all came out of the shadows, half of them wearing silver heavy armor and defending in layers on the periphery, and half resting in several makeshift tents.

After hearing the order, these people quickly walked out of the tent, no one spoke, everyone helped each other put on armor, Zhang Han observed with complicated eyes on the side.

There is no doubt that this is a strong army, there is no suspicion when hearing the order, there is no hesitation, the movements of the armor are skillful and sophisticated, there is no fear and fear, and there is no excitement, and the face of each white armor is only cold and hard and faintly bloodthirsty.

The ages of these white armors are all between twenty-seven and eighty-eight, and they are in the age group with the most combat experience and the best physical fitness.

Li Zhiye whispered to Zhang Han on the side: "Proprietor, my father fought the Japanese soldiers back then, and there were many strong soldiers among the Japanese people, but I think the Japanese soldiers he said are still far inferior to the Jurchen in front of him. ”

Li Zhiye is a bit of an introvert, he usually doesn't talk much, and he rarely takes the initiative to talk to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han knew that he was born in the southern soldiers, his grandfather was recruited as a soldier in Yiwu, and was later transferred to Jizhen by Qi Jiguang, many Zhejiang soldiers gradually returned to the south, and some generations stayed in Jizhen, Li Zhiye family for three generations as soldiers, he himself did not accept at night, listening to his evaluation, Zhang Han also felt a little heavy in his heart. conAd1();

At this time, Huang Taiji also put on armor and came over, he was also dressed in silver armor, with chain mail and cotton armor inside, these triple armor on the body, it was difficult for the bow and arrow to cause damage, and the ordinary degree of chopping would not make him seriously injured, only a strong stab at close range would seriously injure him or kill him, and people of their skill would be difficult to be besieged by many people unless they were besieged.

In contrast, Zhang Han did not wear armor, and Duo'er and Li Zhiye only wore chain mail in their clothes, and the Jurchens looked at them with some disdain.

Those who cannot go into hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield are of little use in their eyes.

Huang Taiji said considerately: "I'll lead people to raid in a while, Zhang Dongzhu and your subordinates assist, you better stay away." ”

At this time, Zhang Han's status in his eyes is completely different from before, Huang Taiji will not know how difficult the situation will be in Liaodong in the future, in fact, the Ming army in Liaodong is preparing to crusade with great fanfare, whether it can survive this pass Jurchen high-level is also bottomless, after all, all 100% of their entire Eight Banners are only mobilized more than 60,000 people, and the Ming army of the crusade is claimed to have 400,000, which is more than the entire Jurchen clan, as long as the Ming army here has tens of thousands of soldiers who can fight as the backbone, Houjin has no to fight at all.

But people like Huang Taiji have an extremely tough personality, as long as they are not finished, they have to think about the future, and Zhang Han's chess piece may be very useful in the future.

The Jurchen camp was less than five miles from the station of Zhang Han and others, and everyone rode to Lixu outside and began to dismount and walk, which was very physically exhausting for the heavy armor soldiers, but fortunately there was no need to do it immediately.

After arriving at the camp, Liang Xing and the others greeted them, and there was nothing unusual about the Mongols, but it was certain that many people were on duty, and it was expected that they would also wait for the middle of the night or early morning to move.

"We'll go first, and you'll follow."

Around the time of the reckoning, the Mongol horses were placed behind the houses, most of them lived in abandoned guard houses, and a few set up tents outside.

The moonlight was bright, and you could see the situation not far away. conAd2();

Everyone was in the downwind, the wind was strong in the middle of the night, and the cold by the river was pressing, but everyone felt their body temperature rise.

Zhang Han told Chang Wei to stay away, this time it was not as good as the last time when the car was fired, and there would be accidents when he stepped forward to raid, if Chang Wei had a flash loss, it would be difficult to explain to his uncle and mother.

Chang Wei showed a maturity that was not commensurate with his age at this time, and he might be reckless if he were an ordinary teenager, but he hid directly in the withered reeds on the bank of the river, and the horses were tied not far away, even if the raid failed, he could hide or grab the horse and flee as soon as possible.

Liang Xing, Li Laibin and Wang Yikui patrolled the procession, supervising the people to load their guns and ammunition.

Only then did Huang Taiji and the others know that the caravan in front of them all used firearms, and the Jurchens were a little disdainful in their eyes, they looked down on the Ming army that used firearms, not to mention the civilians in civilian clothes in front of them.

In the pursuit of Fushun Pass and the subsequent Ming army chief officer Zhang Chengyin, the Houjin soldiers were beaten by the Ming army could not raise their heads, the Liaodong Ming army that had always pressed the Jurchens to fight fully showed its weak side, the Liaodong Ming army was very poorly equipped, the weapons were not fine, and there were very few iron armor in the armor, in the pursuit battle, the eight banners turned back and struck, Feiyangu's left flank easily tore through the Ming army's front, the Ming army had a lot of firecrackers, and began to play every hundred steps, and the Houjin soldiers began to be very jealous, and later found that this thing was useless, and it was smoky when it was sent away, The sound of the guns was deafening, but the number of people killed and wounded was very limited, and the effect was not as good as that of a light arrow.

The strength of the allies is very weak, fortunately, the Jurchens know that the Mongols are also weak, they have been at peace with the Ming Dynasty for too long, even if there is an occasional invasion, that is, to grab something, grab a handful and leave, the Mongols have not fought a hard battle for a long time, and under the back and scene of the forbidden pig iron, the Mongols are very short of fine iron weapons, even more lack of iron armor, and the most important thing is the lack of will to fight, to deal with these people, the white armor are very confident.

The people gradually finished preparing, and Tan Tai and another white armor were sandwiched between Huang Taiji and Huang Taiji.

They did not persuade Sibeile not to risk his life, in the process of the rise of Nurhaci, his sons and nephews gradually became the main generals of the Eight Banners, and the Agobel were also good at cavalry and archery, and even had a lot of military strength, Huang Taiji was also one of the best, his strength was not under the white armor, and he was also very experienced in combat, and often swept and rushed to kill in front, Huang Taiji was impossible to hide behind the battle and watch the battle in such a battle. conAd3();

The Jurchens split into a fan shape and slowly touched forward.

Before that, they had regained their physical strength, rested for half an hour, and each of them was careful to touch the front of them, which doubled their physical strength when they were wearing heavy armor.

These white armor held large one-handed knives such as long iron axes or tigers and tooth knives, and some people held rare two-handed swords, the body of which was narrow and straight, made of fine iron, which made people feel thick, and the head of the sword was very sharp, shining in the moonlight.

Huang Taiji is holding a Ming army's standard waist knife in his hand, the blade of three or four pounds is a little light and fluttering in his hand, the blade is long and sharp, and it is made of high-grade Fujian iron.

There are many blacksmiths in Houjin, and Nurhachi has always paid attention to the creation of fine iron weapons, as well as armor making, but the best use is the excellent weapons of the Ming army, which represents a higher level of cast iron and construction.

Houjin and Mongolia did not have their own iron ore source before, they also did not have iron, these decades with the most primitive fishing and hunting tribes to half fishing and hunting and half farming, ploughing cattle and seeds, iron tools and salt, are all through the Ming Dynasty's horse market trade, Nurhachi's annexation war was supported by Li Chengliang, maybe Li Chengliang is thinking of supporting a reliable agent within the Jurchen, Nurhachi has always been submissive, many times to Beijing to pay tribute, and the relationship with the Li family is very close, Nurhachi himself was the family of the Li Mansion, He also married Li Rumei, maybe Li Chengliang didn't expect that Nurhaci and his post-blonde hair would develop to such a point.

Another reason why Huang Taiji holds a waist knife is that he holds a shield in his left hand.

Nineteen Jurchens were divided into fan shapes, and Huang Taiji and five or six people were in the front of the fan, and he and these people were holding long shields in their hands, which of course were also the Ming army system.

The camps on both sides are more than half a mile apart, and there is a river beach in the middle, which is fortunately winter, and if it is summer, it will be a soft and rotten silt.

Walking across the river flats, there are large patches of withered yellow turf, and deep inside the turf there is some snow that has not melted.

The weather is now below zero even during the warmest days, and the snow in the depths of the turf will not completely melt until early summer next year.

The Jurchens' deerskin boots stepped lightly on the grass, and although they were cautious, they made a slight rattling sound.

There are also people who wear cotton shoes, and even people who wear ordinary cloth shoes.

It can be seen that even the most elite and best-paid white-armored soldiers are very poor in terms of clothing and shoes, and the Dajin Kingdom established by the Jurchens is far less rich than its national name.

Duo'er and Zhao Shiwen, Zhao Shiwu brothers, as well as Ren Jing, Li Zhiye and others followed, and there were also a few of the best skills in the dart master to follow, they wore chain mail or cotton armor, these armor was not brought out of the fort, Zhang Han had no problem making weapons, and the merchants in the late Ming Dynasty generally carried weapons, and the dart and foot lines also needed weapons, but the manufacture of armor could not be achieved, and it was too sensitive.

Under the moonlight, on the mixed white and withered yellow land, more than 30 people held various weapons and walked quietly towards the bow.

The tense atmosphere seemed to be sensed by the horses on both sides, and the horses snorted uneasily, their hooves constantly stomping on the ground.

The horses were highly trained, and they didn't run or neigh in a panic, giving the attacking side more time.
