Chapter 781: Rainland
A large number of battalion soldiers stood in the unsheltered rain, their faces were frozen and their bodies were shivering. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nedin and the generals had makeshift tarpaulin tents, barely able to hide from the rain, and faint human voices came from the tents, probably talking about the soldiers of He Yusheng.
From May, a large number of carriages and horses rushed from Jingshi to Yongping, then to Shanhaiguan, and then from Ningyuan to Jinzhou and Guangning, the convoy passed through Chengping's Jingshi and Yongping, passed through the heavily guarded gate and the ruins of Jinzhou and other old cities and the remains of the abandoned military fort, and finally arrived near the Thirteen Mountains.
In the last month, Zu Dashou and Man Gui and others were ordered to lead the elite of the department to break through the blockade of the Houjin soldiers.
In March, Shi Shi Seon and Amin were ordered to go to Quang Ninh to prepare for an attack on the five Inner Khalkha tribes, to assist the Korqin troops who were squeezed out of the territory, and at the same time to attack the thirteen mountains.
After Dai Shan and others tentatively let go of Li Yongfang's attack on the mountain once, the losses were very heavy, and they could only give up attacking the mountain, and at the same time sent a large number of elites to go deep into the grassland to wage war with the five Inner Khalkha Divisions.
Later, the news came, the fried flower and the five troops and horses were defeated, and the rest was annexed by Lin Dan Khan, and the fried flowers were nowhere to be found, and the five Taiji either surrendered to Houjin or attached themselves to Lin Dan Khan.
After obtaining, Dai Shan and others did not immediately return to the division, they cleared the remnants of the Mongolian steppe, coerced the alliances of the various tribes, and when the Ming army attacked the Thirteen Mountains, it was the best time for Dai Shan and others to be thousands of miles apart.
The soldiers and horses left behind by the Houjin soldiers were really not strong, and the number was small, and most of them were Han troops. Under the continuous attack of the Ming army, the Houjin defense line was precarious, and could only continue to avoid retreating, and the entire area from Jinzhou to the Thirteen Mountains was torn apart by the Ming army A considerable gap was opened, and a large number of ranger sentries rode on the periphery to guard the periphery, and the main force was to escort the convoy and began to advance to the Thirteen Mountains area.
After hearing the sporadic sound of firecrackers, a Ming army Qian, who was hiding in the tent to hide from the rain, praised: "Amazing, this weather and Yusheng's firecrackers can still be released." ”
Another military attache said, "Their guns should be in the car and outward." ”
"Or maybe you wear that kind of big-brimmed hat and put the fire door under the brim to keep out the rain."
"In the past few days, they have killed a lot of Dongyu, amazing."
The officers of the Ming army don't look at the soldiers of the Yusheng convoy as auxiliaries, these soldiers are in the name of regimental training, or the escort of the trading house, or the coachman, anyway, there are many names, the number is less than 2,000 people, and almost all of them are firefighters. At the beginning, the Ming army was only shocked by the strength and financial resources of the trading house He Yusheng, and at the same time marveled at the speed of the army's advance...... It's really much faster than the Ming army battalion soldiers.
In the ruined places along the way, the official roads were damaged, the bridges were broken, and the soldiers and sappers cooperated to repair them, and they could ensure that they could advance at least 40 miles every day.
This speed overturned the cognition of many Ming army generals.
And the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and soldiers made the Ming army even more impressive.
Due to the proximity to the thirteen mountains, the resistance of the Dongyu became fierce, there were a large number of rangers and stragglers fighting every day, the Ming army mobilized this time was the general's personal soldiers and Neiding, the number of soldiers was not much, and most of them were cavalry, although the defense line was broken, but could not effectively clear the Dongyu, these days there are small-scale exchanges every day
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) battle, and Yusheng's gunners performed very well in the continuous skirmishes.
The guns hit accurately, reacted quickly, the power of the guns was huge, and the quality of the guns was obviously higher than the firearms such as the bird guns and the three-eyed guns of the Ming army firearms battalion, and the most surprising thing for the Ming generals was the elite degree of the guns of the Yusheng guns.
If the enemy's cavalry is not within 100 paces, it will never be released, and when it is fired, it will be fired in a volley of guns as much as possible, and there will never be a situation where the enemy will be fired one after another and become a mess. After the release, the charge was retracted, and the action was so fast and fast that the Ming generals who saw it were almost shocked to lose their eyeballs.
Many times, including Zu Dashou and other generals, doubted the identity of these soldiers, until a squadron of musketeers escorted Liu Ji and Li Pingzhi and others from Beijing.
After seeing the performance of the regimental training soldiers, all the suspicious Ming generals closed their mouths.
"Don't let it go." Zhang Chunniu wiped the rain from his face and said, "Wait for the rain to stop." ”
"Zu Dashou and Man Gui are on the left and right wings." Li Pingzhi looked into the distance and said calmly: "Yuan Bing is in the Thirteen Mountains Post after thirty miles, we are still nearly fifty miles away from the Thirteen Mountains, and if we go over, it is estimated that we will be able to connect with the people on the mountain." ”
"It's done." Liu Ji said: "The soldiers and horses of the imperial court have done their best, and the things below are up to us." ”
Li Pingzhi said: "The day before yesterday, I received instructions from my lord to ensure that as much food as possible was transported up the mountain, and to ensure that the torn passage was maintained for a long time, and our soldiers had better be prepared for battle. In terms of transportation, local manpower is mostly used for loading and unloading. This is my advice to the military secretary, and both the adult and the military secretary have approved it. ”
Liu Ji and Zhang Chunniu did not speak out, Li Pingzhi came from the Military Command Department, and his ability was outstanding, and the Military Department had recognized his qualifications to coordinate the overall situation, Liu Ji and other local treasurers were responsible for commanding the convoy and coordinating the relationship with the Ming army's civil and military officials, and Zhang Chunniu was responsible for commanding the troops and engineers, and the responsibility of coordinating and commanding the overall situation fell on Li Pingzhi.
Zhang Chunniu finally said suspiciously: "How can we get enough manpower?" ”
Li Pingzhi smiled and said nothing.
……
"When, when, when......"
After the rain stopped, the sun reappeared in mid-air, the ground was quickly dried under the scorching sun, and there was a heat wave everywhere, and people were sweating.
The Ming army began to set up tents, and there were still a few black clouds in the distance, and it might turn into a torrential rain again at night.
In the distance, the outline of a mountain range is too far away to be seen.
The official roads were simply repaired, the troops were stationed in the wastelands on both sides of the roads, and a few men and officers lived in the deserted villages. Although the house was dilapidated and decayed, it was much better than dozens of people crammed into a broken tent.
In comparison, the people who live in the camp and Yusheng are much more eye-catching.
Dozens of people in the Ming army squeezed into a broken tent, and Yusheng's soldiers were eleven people in a tent, which was spacious and comfortable, which was enviable.
When everyone set up their tents, He Yusheng's cookers began to use the cooking cart to cook on the fire, and bursts of aroma wafted over.
Ming Jun's eyes were red, and the teeth of many people were itchy.
If nothing else, their dinner is a few rice balls made of dried rice, which are steamed and dried to keep them for a long time, and they are standard for marching rations when they go to war.
There are also some people who have some fried noodles on them, but unlike the fried noodles in oil and sugar in later generations, the fried noodles at this time are not delicious, the taste is dry, and some bitter, and many of them are made of moldy old grains.
Some parts of the ground were dried by the sun, and most of the places were half dry and half wet, exuding a fishy smell of muddy water, and after setting up the tents, many people took off their boots and lay down, and no one wanted to walk around in such an environment.
There was nowhere to go around, there was wilderness everywhere, the villages were in decay and decay, and occasionally you could see some figures hiding in the ruins, like rats, and disappeared without a trace.
These remnants of the people know very well the danger of the battlefield, not only will the Donglu kill, but the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty may not be very good at killing the Dongyu, if they are not careful, the slaughter of a few blind people is just a small matter of piggybacking, no one will take it to heart, let alone use the murderous soldiers to affirm military discipline.
"Everyone listen, let's enter the Panshan Station tomorrow!"
A group of cavalry galloped through the muddy muddy field, and shook off many people with mud, because it was not an ordinary pond horse, and the people who were thrown out of the mud did not dare to say anything, and only shouted and cursed in a low voice after the cavalry left.
"Who's that kid in silver armor?"
"It is said that he is the nephew of Vice General Zu, and this time he took him to the battlefield to see the chief."
"Hey, this kid is not bad, white robe and silver armor, but he is a little tender."
"It's so tender, hehe......"
"You're going to fucking die, and the nephew of Vice General Zu dares to talk nonsense!"
When he thought of Zu Dashou's power and the power of the ancestral family, he suddenly stopped.
There is such a teenage boy in the army who comes and goes every day, and it is indeed a little annoying.
Before the Thirteen Mountain Posts is the Luyang Station, then the Fengmaling Station, to the right is the Xiping Station and the Panshan Station, the Panshan Station is actually under the foot of the Thirteen Mountains, not far from the Guangning City, and the Fengmaling Station is closely connected with the Great Mountain and the Guangning Acropolis, recently Zu Dashou and Mangui and other cavalry are in these places back and forth to fight with the Dongyu, and every day people are injured and return.
This time, many wounded soldiers were lucky, because of He Yusheng's light carriage, many wounded soldiers were sent to Ningyuan for treatment, and many of them picked up their lives.
Compared with the down-to-earth and capable Heyusheng soldiers, the teenage boys in white robes and silver armor rode around every day to show off their martial arts and might, and they also participated in the war in the name of participating in the war, and they must have become famous after the war.
Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang is also with the help of his uncle, and now he has risen in Liaoxi, and has been a real general in the army, many people speculate that Zu Dashou has delayed the time of the general army because of several defeats, and Wu Xiang, who he supports, is very popular, good at communicating, and is a martial artist from the general's background, and his future is limitless, and he may be ranked in the general army within ten years...... The more this is the case, the more dissatisfied people are with the soaring prosperity of the Wu family's father and son.
"Everyone should talk less nonsense, and if they have the effort, they will lie down and rest more." A military attache vaguely heard something, he was not disgusted by it, Liaoxi is the place where the generals are in charge, no matter how capable the military attaches are, unless they have a background background, otherwise they are destined to waste their lives.
Even if it is as strong as Mao Wenlong, it is over fifty years old to get the opportunity to go to the Dongjiang River, and it is also because there is a relative who is a big official to help, otherwise, with Mao Wenlong's experience of growing up in the south, even if he is from a family of Jiangmen in Western Liaoning, what is the use of birds?
