Chapter 289: The People Here Are Wonderful
Captain Bowie's plan for an ambush in Texas was as follows: they would first release most of their cavalry across the Imperial River, and then set up an ambush in a hilly area. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the same time, a thousand Mamluk mercenaries and newly trained Liuqiu cavalry were sent around the rear of their ranks, charging and blocking those who did not have time to cross the river, and fighting for not a single cavalry!
Captain Bao Wei swore at that time that even if he let the enemy soldiers run, he would not let a horse go!
Although the main island of Liuqiu Island and Jeju Island have been breeding war horses and other large livestock, whether it is the military or the civilian population, there is still a shortage of large livestock------- if they can really take these 50,000 horses, it is estimated that in addition to the battle damage, their gains will be extremely huge------- Liuqiu Island never fights without profits!
Ambush warfare is what they do best, and with the firepower at hand, they can quickly kill and damage the enemy before they counterattack.
And those large and small hills can become natural protection areas for them to hide from the impact of war horses.
They used a valley that they had to pass through to march into the Shandong region as a preset battlefield, and built a row of sparse wooden fences at the narrowest part of the valley, and arranged for more than 100 soldiers dressed in tatters with longbows and spears to pretend to be the guards of this pass.
When the enemy scouts Pegasus arrived, they shot arrows and shouted desperately, and made the appearance of rushing out of the fence in pursuit------- the enemy scouts did not fight them, and they ran back as fast as they could to report the situation.
At that time, the general from the Ilkhanate laughed when he heard the report, in fact, he had been laughing at his lieutenant Zhang Hongfan for being too careful.
The enemy is defensive, but there are only hundreds of people guarding the wooden fence------- such defense cannot withstand their round of attacks!
This march was actually requested by Zhang Hongfan on his own initiative to write to the big boss Kublai Khan, he really couldn't stand the robbery of them at the garrison, they robbed everything!
The cavalrymen who had traveled thousands of miles were pleasantly surprised to find that almost all the people in their garrison had shoes to wear!
Many people even have porcelain!
Some large families may have more silk at home than one of their chiefs!
Zhang Hongfan painfully saw the chickens and dogs jumping in Zhuozhou City, a mess------ after robbing the city, they were not satisfied, and soon ran outside the city!
From food to clothing to supplies, their robberies are becoming more and more comprehensive.
Zhang Hongfan could not watch them rise to the level of indiscriminate killing, and even robbing the people's daughters, he repeatedly wrote to the big bosses, in order to quickly send troops to fight the pirates in Shandong!
It is comforting to see that Zhang Hongfan saw that the riding skills of these alien slave soldiers were still relatively exquisite, as if they could be brave in battle-------
Their chieftain, Kublai Khan, was also annoyed by the officials in various other places, who kept playing to accuse the foreign slave soldiers of not abiding by military discipline.
There were even ministers of the Han faction who cried that they couldn't bear to see the people of the Great Khan deeply poisoned!
Kublai Khan, the big leader, understood the truth of this, but he couldn't explain it to his ministers------- where can he arouse their combat effectiveness if he doesn't let those slave soldiers get addicted to robbery?!
His ultimate goal is still the Great Song Dynasty, and the Shandong region is ------ originally his territory, a tasteless place that can't be given up!!
The big boss Kublai Khan had to quickly approve Zhang Hongfan's request.
The journey was relatively smooth, but the people along the way suffered------ Zhang Hongfan could only urge them to speed up the march, and there was no other way.
Hua Buli Flower General gets along well with Zhang Hongfan, and he often chats with Zhang Hongfan through an interpreter.
The general of Huabuli has always lamented the richness of the garrison and the large population, and even envied the abundance of water and grass here.
The flower lord said: "Although it is colder here, there is a lot of food, and the people live far better than our people there------"
After listening to the translation, Deputy General Zhang Hongfan could only smile bitterly, after this period of robbery, how can the people have a good life? These people don't grab anything!!
At this time, tens of thousands of people followed behind their army.
The deputy general Zhang Hongfan was powerless to stop the slave soldiers of the alien race when they were robbed, so he could only send his subordinates to appease the people, saying that all the suffering was brought by the pirates in Shandong, otherwise, how could those slave soldiers come here? ?
The Quanzhen Sect members in the northern region also helped a lot at this time, and they also went around to reassure the people and ask them to learn patience.
At the same time, Zhang Hongfan tried his best to introduce the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty to the Hua Buli Flower Lord, and with his eloquence, he often fascinated the Hua Buli Flower Lord and his subordinates, and everyone couldn't help but draw out the steel knife and wave it towards the sky, Allah, there is still such a place in the world, and the gold and silver in the Great Song are everywhere!
Although everyone has heard of it for a long time, saying that the Great Song Dynasty is rich, where is the excitement introduced by Zhang Hongfan himself? !
The flower lord of Huabuli often shouts, he must take down the Great Song! Everyone must grab gold that is heavier than their weight!! Be sure to grab the porcelain and silk that fills the sea boats!!
However, first of all, it is necessary to drive out the pirates occupying the Shandong region------- which is the consensus of the entire army.
An army, even if it is a slave army, if it has a unified combat goal, the morale is very high, and besides, they are only dealing with pirates.
Adjutant General Zhang Hongfan was happy to see that the army had morale, and he also saw the people following behind the army------- he knew that those people just wanted to make up for their own losses by robbing others------- but he could not say it explicitly.
During the march, Adjutant General Zhang Hongfan said to the chief general of Hua Buli: "My army is united as one, and the military heart can be used, wouldn't it be better if we could win the hearts of the people?" You see, the people are all willing to go with us to quell the bandits-------"
After hearing this, the general of Huabuli smiled and said: "If it is a siege battle, I will expel those people------ but there is no big city in Shandong, what use do I want them?" Keep them away from my army and don't interfere with my fight!! ”
Sure enough, he sent his men and horses to drive the people who were following him farther away.
Adjutant General Zhang Hongfan was speechless, so he had to advise him to march carefully.
The flower lord immediately shook his head and denied: "No one dares to resist us, I have never seen such honest people------- in our place, the soldiers sent out to rob will always be killed, here, we have not lost a single soldier, so, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Of course, the scouts who should be sent still need to send more ------- the terrain here is very different from ours. ”
After listening to the translation, Vice Admiral Zhang Hongfan didn't feel good in his heart-------The people here are honest, but in fact, they are not managed well by the Great Khan of my family before?!"
Those who dared to resist were all killed-------
However, he disdained to argue with him, and his Great Khan still valued him more, after all, he still allowed him to play.
When the two of them listened to the report of the return of the scouts, they almost simultaneously ordered: "Hurry up and march, don't let the enemy have support!" ”
