Chapter 388: Ancestor's Blood
Seeing this Portuguese young man frowning at the woman, the unmarried little girl was so embarrassed that her face was flushed, and she kept hiding behind her parents. The eldest daughter-in-law, who was already married, was not so shy, and she glared back with an angry face.
As for the fathers, brothers and husbands of the women, seeing that this dog-day foreign devil is so annoying, some bold people have begun to scold their mothers.
For a while, the people who sent off the Ningxiang army were in a little commotion.
Someone has already rolled up their sleeves and wants to step forward to beat the shameless foreign devil. Suddenly, someone shouted: "General Sun is here!" ”
"General Sun, General Sun!"
The people rushed forward, and then they all fell to their knees and kowtowed vigorously.
When Sun Yuan saw this scene, he was taken aback, jumped off his horse suddenly, and went to help the people: "Fellow villagers, what are you doing, get up, get up!" ”
"General, if it weren't for your relief, we would have starved to death."
"General, my whole family is young and old, and it can be said that you live alone
。 ”
"General, you must return victorious in this battle! We have already offered the general's immortal tablet, praying to the heavens, so that the general will be safe! ”
In the shouting, a gray-haired old man knelt in front of Sun Yuan with a bowl of steaming hot soup, and sang loudly: "The country is in trouble, and the good will come out." Heroes go on the march, and there should be wine. Xiao Lao'er's whole family was destroyed by the fire, and he couldn't find good wine in his eagerness. I could only cook a bowl of hot soup and replace wine with water, and I was strong for the general. ”
"This hot soup, just like the general's enthusiasm, .cc [marshmallow] general, please drink this wine!" Singing this, the old man suddenly raised his slender neck and let out a long howl: "I'm Ningxiang Army!" ”
"Mighty!"
"I'm Ningxiang Army!"
"Mighty!"
"I'm Ningxiang Army!"
"Mighty!"
The sky was filled with the shouts of the people.
Sun Yuan's eyes were hot, he took the hot soup and drank it all in one gulp: This is the people's heart!
Before today, these displaced people were either from Tongzhou, perhaps from Fangshan, and some of them were from the Miyun clan. But at this moment, they have already regarded them as the people of the Ningxiang Army, and shouted the slogan of "I Ningxiang" Army.
No one has realized the organization, and the scene in front of them is all from the hearts of the people.
Suddenly, Sun Yuan seemed to understand the meaning of his time into this world. As he taught Fei Hong, the duty of a soldier is to guard.
These people in front of you are what you want to protect.
They are the ancestors, ancestors of my Sun Yuan. I have the same blood in my veins as they were. This bloodline comes from Huang Yan, from Lao Qin, from Liu Bang who slashed the white snake, from Huo Qubing who crisscrossed the desert north, from Li Jing and Li Yaoshi, and from the stars shining in the sky.
Me, big man!
Mighty!
……
In the Cold Weapons War, after carrying a large amount of baggage, the mobility of the army was extremely poor due to the lack of vehicles
。 In particular, the Ningxiang Army, because it was equipped with a large number of firearms, could not march fast.
Because there are no satellites or reconnaissance planes, it is necessary to guard against the enemy not knowing where to suddenly come out. So, in general, the army can't go much every day. By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, they would set up camp and set up fortifications.
Fences had to be erected, ditches had to be dug, and four watchtowers had to be built in all four directions of the camp. To put it mildly, the camp also had to dig pits and drainage canals.
As for the open space outside the camp, a lot of thistles had to be sprinkled to prevent the enemy's cavalry from sneaking up.
This thistle terrestris is a product of Master Cui, with nails on three sides, and it is very simple to manufacture. Once the hooves of the enemy's war horse are stepped on, they will be pierced, and the horse will be completely costly, and it can only be used as a horse in the future.
The next morning, we had to get up early in the morning to dismantle and load the fortifications.
This takes a lot of time.
Sun Yuan had six cannons at hand, each of which needed to be dragged by two pack horses and eight artillery pieces, but the road was very slow, and it was only thirty or fifty miles a day.
This speed made Sun Yuan very dissatisfied, but it was quite remarkable in the Ming Dynasty.
You must know that it is now snowing heavily in the capital, and the roads are muddy and difficult to walk.
Even if the weather is good, the Ming army in this era is only about 20 miles a day. Last time Sun Yuan went to Beijing with Wang Yuncheng, it was even more excessive, and he only walked ten miles a day. From Nanjing to Beijing, he walked for three months, grinding Sun Yuan to a complete lack of temper.
Sun Yuan has been waiting for this unprecedented decisive battle for a long time, and he also knows that this is his last chance? Today's Ningxiang Army is still on the border of the Great Wall of the Bohai Sea, although in the next ten years, the war will become bigger and bigger, and it will not stop. However, as the frontier guard of the empire, because he was burdened with the war plan for the defense of the north, a border army like him would not generally be transferred to Liaodong or the inland front line to fight without special circumstances.
Otherwise, as soon as the Ningxiang army left, the imperial court would have to mobilize troops from other places to fill the vacancy. It's too troublesome to be the secretary of the military department, and it won't be much. In this way, if it is not good, he Sun Yuan and Ning Xiangjun will gradually be forgotten.
The strength of the Ningxiang army is small, and as for the military salary of the imperial court, to be honest, he has not seen a penny ago for more than a year
。 One more day in the Bohai Sea, the strength of the Ningxiang army weakened by one point.
Therefore, it is necessary to fight a few victories well and be promoted to several ranks. In the future, whether it is to be a general soldier or something in Xuanfu, or to go to the south to lead a town, it is the best way out.
In the past year and a half, Sun Yuan did not hesitate to scatter the silver in hand. By now, six cannons have formed combat effectiveness; The crude flintlock pistols of the musketeers also passed through the Arsenal Wolff's men, replacing them with more robust barrels and bolts.
As for ordinary musketeers and spearmen, they were basically able to achieve a piece of cotton armor per person, and the armor of the officers was also loaded with iron leaves. To be honest, in the cold north, this cotton armor is very useful, with defensive and warm functions.
As for the scout cavalry, this group of savages seemed to have deliberately tried to distinguish themselves from ordinary soldiers, and not only did they have a sleeveless cotton armor, but each of them also received an iron helmet. In this way, the veterans also fastened a sheepskin or dogskin hat to the iron armor. As soon as he ran, the plush fluttered in the wind.
After walking on the road for three days, the Ningxiang army finally arrived and saw the towering city walls of Yong'an City in Changping.
The armies of Xuan and Daejeonggi have arrived one after another, and there are barracks everywhere inside and outside the city.
Seeing that the Ningxiang army came so quickly, the generals of the other road armies in Xuanzhen were a little surprised.
After setting up the camp, Sun Yuan entered the city and met with Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the world's soldiers and horses.
But he didn't want to, but Lu Xiangsheng was not in the city, even his chief staff Huang You was not there, and Wang Yuncheng and others were in the Chinese army.
Wang Yuncheng saw Sun Yuan, still with that enthusiastic appearance, he stepped forward to shake hands again, and patted his shoulder, Brother Sun kept shouting, and said, Our brothers haven't seen each other for more than a year, and this time we have to get drunk. There's nothing to say, so we'll set up a table of wine and have a good conversation.
Seeing his fake face, Sun Yuan felt sick for a while, so he naturally excused himself, and asked where the overseer had gone?
Wang Yuncheng looked sorry and sighed: "The military situation is urgent, the military affairs are busy, our brothers can wait for this battle to finish before eating, drinking and playing." The governor went to Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven, and it is estimated that it will take a day or two to return. Before his old man entered Beijing, he ordered me to guard the city first, and then fight Jiannu after he returned. ”
