Chapter 15 - Kind of Interesting
"Has the news come back? Did those mystery people do it...... "Just sent out the bait." Xu Yanping was already in a hurry to jump up and down. While constantly sending spies, he kept asking his subordinates.
It made all the officials who followed him a little nervous. He also began to send his own soldiers around him. I went to search around the Daejeon Military and Civilian Thousand Households. Hopefully, we will get the exact news right away.
However, until the 3,000 Ming troops who were regarded as outcasts, they had already walked to the Black Stone Village, which was less than 50 miles away from the 1,000 military and civilian households in Datian. The mysterious force, for the high-level of the Ming army, is still a mysterious force......
What to do? Is it really going to be a big battle with the pre-agreed Tusi army?
It's just that in this way, let's not say whether we can seduce that mysterious force. First of all, whether the 5,000 Tusi army can still fulfill the agreement depends on two words.
After all, the knives of the officers and soldiers have already cut into their necks. Don't think about it too much. It's impossible!
The thought turned to this, and Xu Yanping was ruthless. Neatly brought all the troops. Rushed straight to the Daejeon military and civilian thousand households......
Xu Yanping's move, Zhang Yun's side naturally received the news immediately, and the strategy also changed.
Zhang Yun, who originally decided to prefer Hushan, felt that it was unnecessary. Because even if you kill all the 8,000 cannon fodder. It is impossible to make the top brass of the Ming army frown, on the contrary, it may be because after the war. Under the weakness of the army, it was bitten by the tail of the Ming army......
Although the Huguang Command Department has nearly 30 guards under its jurisdiction, the combat effectiveness on paper exceeds 100,000 people.
But Xu Yanping naturally couldn't bring so many people to fight. What's more, although there is the strong support of Huguang officialdom, it is impossible for it to have so much money to send down!
And the living conditions of the military households in the Ming Dynasty, to put it bluntly, were not much better than slaves.
There is not enough money to allocate money, and they want to make those military households who live under the subsistence line work hard. How is this possible?
Therefore, Xu Yanping had no choice but to recruit the families of officers from more than 1,000 households to fight. However, for the families cultivated by themselves, the officers of more than 1,000 households in each health center regard these families as private individuals!
In this case, expecting officers at all levels to hand over all their subordinates is simply a pig to laugh!
Therefore, Xu Yanping tossed for so long after arriving here, and he only let hundreds of thousands of households hand over less than 8,000 households.
And these people, because they are all the private soldiers of their respective generals. At this moment, although Xu Yanping forcibly broke up the establishment and regrouped the team. But that doesn't make it enforce!
This is also the main reason why Xu Yanping wanted to design and plan a group of toasts before. It's just because he doesn't have the certainty of victory.
But now it was the bait of the 3,000 ordinary military households who were forced to go to Liangshan by Zhang Yun and scattered in front. I didn't see Zhang Yun bite for such a long time. If you don't go to the rescue at this time, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable! What's more, Xu Yanping can't afford to take this risk......
On a high mountain ridge, Zhang Yun holds an earthen telescope. I have been observing the Ming army passing under the mountain for a while.
The more Zhang Yun looked at it, the more he didn't understand, because this group of Ziming troops didn't look like regular troops at all. Even on a full-speed march, it was a group of three, a group of five. Get together and laugh and play non-stop!
This made Zhang Yun never dare to make up his mind and order the whole army to attack. Because no matter how you look at it, this army is more like a decoy than the Ming army in front of it, which only has 3,000 men!
"Childe, the probe horse below has been clarified. Within a radius of thirty miles, there was no sign of any large-scale military activity. ”
Just when Zhang Yun was a little undecided, Yang Shiqing, who was panting. Suddenly, such news came.
This made Zhang Yun's hand holding the telescope tremble, and he couldn't understand why the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was already like this during the Chongzhen period.
Could it be that the so-called Jurchen in later generations is not satisfied with 10,000 and is full of invincible bullshit. Stepping on the corpses of these birdmen?
Maybe these birdmen are all military households, to put it bluntly, that is, farmers who have just put down their hoes, and they are all farmers who can't get enough to eat. It is completely different from the elite border army of the Ming Dynasty......
Thinking about this, Zhang Yun didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he could only find such an excuse to comfort himself!
Because a peek is to know the whole leopard, these inland military households have rotted like this. So how good can those so-called nine-sided elite soldiers be?
Although Zhang Yun wanted to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, this did not mean that Zhang Yun wanted to see this dynasty belonging to the Han people themselves. This would be what it would look like......
"Let's do it!" Putting down the binoculars weakly, Zhang Yun finally said the order that Yang Shiqing and the others had always wanted to hear.
"Gongzi Yingming, your team is here to protect Gongzi......" got what he wanted, Yang Shiqing couldn't wait to leave a team of cronies to protect Zhang Yun. Immediately afterwards, he climbed down the mountain with a rolling belt.
It didn't take long for a specially made firework to burst into the sky. Seeing this, Zhang Yun hurriedly raised the telescope again. Want to see what is going on with this Ming army?
The Ming army, which was less than 8,000, stretched the line into a five-mile long line, and the people in front had already crossed two mountains, but the people behind were still walking the path that the vanguard had walked an hour earlier. This also gave Yang Shiqing and other bandits a chance to break through.
Zhang Yun, who was standing on the ridge, looked into the distance, and saw that when the piercing gunshots rang out, the vast majority of the people in the Ming army were still heroic. However, they were outnumbered......
"Sons and daughters kill the enemy with their own officials!" An unknown Senhu dodged the first round of platoon guns. Immediately became angry again, and kept greeting his subordinates.
However, his behavior is like a candlelight in the night. It couldn't be more conspicuous. Therefore, the service of home-made grenades was immediately recruited. With a loud bang, the little Qianhu went where he was supposed to go.
And see that the power of home-made grenades is so powerful. Naturally, the other bandits did the same!
A group of officers who tried to gather their cronies were blown up. It doesn't matter if they gather men to break through or kill the enemy. Whatever the idea, it was shattered by an earthen grenade.
A lot of people have benefits, desperately rushing forward. There was danger, the first officers to slip ahead of time. This is the case at first sight. Naturally, they all took off their official uniforms and forced the unlucky ghosts around them to put them on, and immediately smeared oil on the soles of their feet.
There is no commander, and the family members have a habit of being casual. Soon, the scales of war tilted in favor of Zhang Yun's side. This, even if some family members are indeed very brave, cannot change this situation.
And as the battle continued, just a few minutes later, the battle could no longer be called a battle. It's been a complete slaughter.
Even though the number of bandits dispatched by Zhang Yun was less than 2,000, Zhang Yun was shocked to find that in some small battlefields, the bandits were actually trying to surround the official army......
This scene made Zhang Yun speechless. Although it is said that the bandits have firearms to help. But at the end of the day, a front-loading smoothbore flintlock pistol. I couldn't fire a few shots before the battle. The next combat mission had to be completed by the bayonet attached to the front of the gun.
Suffice it to say, officers and soldiers only need to be calm and calm. According to the total number of bows and arrows they carried, they could completely beat their own bandits. Unfortunately, it turned out to be different.
After watching it for a few more minutes, Zhang Yun was a little bored. And when Zhang Yun was about to put down the binoculars, his eyes seemed to sweep into something interesting. I couldn't wait to re-give the telescope.
"It's kind of interesting......"
Just when Zhang Yun sighed, on the official road under the mountain. finally stood up a high-ranking official of the Ming army who should have stood up a long time ago.
"Don't be afraid, speed closer to the old man's side. All we have to do is gather together, with a few hundred of us here. Can't you beat a hundred and eighty thieves? Hu Zhongqing stood on a big rock and kept calling.
Reminded by this, many Ming troops here finally woke up. When I turned around, I found that there was no way to chase myself and others, and the number of mysterious black-clothed people who had no way to enter the ground was so small......
