Chapter 681: What if Huang Taiji is here? You have the ability to bite me!
(0681)
"Are you sure that Zhang Zhun is really on the ship?"
After Huang Taiji met with his subordinates, .
This is a critical question. The grain of the thirty boats is not yet in the eyes of Huang Taiji. His position dictates that he has to focus on higher-level goals. The grain of the thirty boats, including the grain, the boatmen, and the ships, all added up, that is, the tens of thousands of taels of silver. The forward battalion was dispatched to deal with thirty boats, and Huang Taiji could not afford to lose face.
In fact, even Du Huchan and the others, the idea of fighting these thirty boats is a bit of a self-surrendering identity. In the battle sequence of the Dajin Kingdom, the forward battalion is the pro-army of the Great Khan, and it is the most elite part of the Dajin army. They undertake the most arduous combat missions, and they will only engage in battle at the most critical moments of battle.
The forward battalion of Dajin Kingdom came specifically for Zhang Zhun, not for looting. The task of looting is completed by other troops. The fighters of the forward battalion are to deal with the most powerful part of the enemy, and they are to deal with the elite of the enemy. For example, specifically to deal with this Zhang Zhun.
Huang Taiji has already learned a little about the situation in the southern part of the Hutuo River. Judging from the wounds on the dead warriors of the Golden Army, it must have been the Tiger Ben Army who struck. The Tiger Ben Army, which was released from some other sources and was active in the southern part of the Hutuo River, was very small, only about 100 people. Huang Taiji concluded that this active tiger army was Zhang Zhun and his guards.
Because of the influence of the cavalry of the Tiger Army, Huang Taiji's surveillance of Dongjiabao appeared a small loophole, and as a result, this small loophole was exploited by Zhang Zhun. Huang Taiji still admires Zhang Zhun's courage and boldness. Beizhili was full of cavalry of the Dajin Army and Mongolian cavalry, and he dared to take a hundred or so men to the south of the Hutuo River.
This courage is absolutely unmatched in the Ming Kingdom. If the other generals of the Ming Kingdom had such courage, the Dajin Army might not even have a chance to gain a foothold in Shenyang. The biggest problem of the Ming army was that it did not have the determination and courage to fight, and always wanted to passively avoid war. The result is that the more you fight, the weaker you become, and the more you fight, the less morale you have. Fight for population, fight for consumption, 10,000 Dajin Army is not the opponent of the Ming Army.
If Zhang Zhun was not on top of the boat, the forward battalion would be laughed at behind his back if he was so active in dealing with the boat. Even if Du Hu Chan doesn't mind, Huang Taiji will feel faceless. For the sake of thirty boats, hundreds of elites of the forward battalion were actually damaged, and if this matter spread, the position under Huang Taiji's ass would be even more precarious.
It is said that after the defeat of Dongjiabao, Huang Taiji has been vaguely able to hear some rumors that are unfavorable to him. Some people who used to be very jealous of themselves are now not so scrupulous. In the past, they didn't dare to gather together openly to discuss anything, and even if they gathered in private, they were careful not to let Huang Taiji know. But now, they dare to come forward publicly, and the number of private meetings is even more.
In this regard, it is the Mongols who are particularly evident. Originally, the Mongols took refuge in the Dajin Army in order to get benefits. But now, instead of getting the benefits, they have lost a lot of people. This was also difficult for the Mongols to accept. The population of the Mongols is not much larger than that of the Dajin Kingdom. Even the Mongols could not afford such attrition.
Fortunately, due to the close marriage between the two sides, the main force of the Mongols, the Horqin tribe, was still very friendly and loyal to the Dajin Kingdom. Under the pressure of the Horqin tribe, even if the other Mongol tribes had any other ideas, they did not dare to express them. However, even the dissatisfaction buried in the bottom of the heart is also dissatisfaction. This discontent, under the right circumstances, can erupt with fatal consequences.
In particular, after the defeat in the battle, the Harasan tribe and the Tumut tribe strengthened their ties with each other, and they had the meaning of advancing and retreating together. Hadan Batel, the leader of the Harashen tribe, and Ajislan, the leader of the Tumut tribe, are said to have secretly met near Boye. The two met for two days. The content of the meeting is unknown.
This is not a good thing for a Ninety-Five Venerable. The Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom is completely different from the Han people, there is no such thing as establishing a long and standing heir, some are just capable and mediocre. If you don't have great feats, you should never expect to be able to sit on this throne. This is the basic concept of the Daejin state, and even Huang Taiji cannot change it. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to go to great lengths to create opportunities for Hauge to make meritorious contributions.
The Dajin army was defeated, and its strength was greatly weakened, and if the Mongols rebelled at this time, the pressure on Huang Taiji would be very great. The only weakness of the Han Chinese is that they are not good at riding and shooting. If the Han people had mastered the power of mounted archery, the end of the Dajin Kingdom would have come. Therefore, even though he knew that Hadan Baatle and Azhislan were behind his back, Huang Taiji could only pretend that he didn't know anything. At present, it is not the time to find two bad luck.
"Someone did see Zhang Zhun...... However, I didn't see it in person. ”
Du Hu Chan said honestly.
In front of Huang Taiji, he is absolutely honest, and the truth is what it is.
"Who saw Zhang Zhun?"
"Bring him here!"
Huang Taiji frowned and asked.
He wanted to personally determine the existence of Zhang Zhun. Otherwise, he would not have easily ordered the forward battalion to attack. The nature of the forward battalion is that it is the personal soldiers of the Great Khan himself, and he only listens to the words of the Great Khan himself, and has nothing to do with other banner owners. In other words, even if all the banner owners rise up against him, as long as he controls the forward battalion, he has the ability to confront the banner masters.
Since Huang Taiji came to power, he has been committed to weakening the power of the banner owners. He concentrated the elites of each banner into the forward battalion, directly out of the control of the banner owner. Even the white banner in charge of Dolgon, the most elite warriors, did not belong to Dolgon's command, but to Huang Taiji himself. Later, the establishment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty directly abolished the banner owner's power to command troops.
It is precisely for this reason that Huang Taiji cherishes the strength of the forward battalion very much, and will not easily let the forward battalion suffer losses. Even if he is the Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom, it will take time, skill, and patience to gather the elite from other banner masters. In other words, the loss of the forward battalion will take a long time to make up for it.
Therefore, if Zhang Zhun was not on top of the boats, Huang Taiji would immediately turn around and leave, and then send other troops to deal with these boats. The only one who can make the forward battalion vigorously attack is Zhang Zhun himself. Even other Tiger Army teams don't have this qualification.
At this moment, someone hurriedly came in and said a few words in Huang Taiji's ear.
Huang Taiji immediately waved his hand, frowned and said, "No need!" ”
Then he immediately rode forward and galloped towards the edge of the canal.
Du Hu Chan and the others were slightly stunned, what happened? They hurriedly turned on their horses, followed Huang Taiji, and ran towards the edge of the canal. A moment later, they came to the edge of the canal, only five or six hundred meters away from Zhang Zhun's fleet.
I only saw Huang Taiji's horse approaching the canal, holding up a clairvoyant mirror, and carefully looking at those boats. Someone reported to him just now that Zhang Zhun appeared on the boat. What Huang Taiji is searching for now is Zhang Zhun's figure. He wanted to personally confirm whether Zhang Zhun was really on the canal, right under his nose.
"Zhang Zhun!"
Suddenly, Huang Taiji said fiercely.
That's right, the person who appeared on the boat was indeed Zhang Zhun.
He hadn't actually seen Zhang Zhun with his own eyes. However, he believed that the person on the boat was Zhang Zhun. There is no reason for this, it is purely Huang Taiji's own judgment and intuition, a kind of intuition of the superior. He believed that if Zhang Zhun was also holding a clairvoyant mirror, he would definitely find him Huang Taiji in the crowd.
"Zhang Zhun is indeed on the boat!"
Huang Taiji said with a gloomy face.
The people around him breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Huang Taiji saw Zhang Zhun with his own eyes, otherwise, it would be really a little troublesome, and I don't know how to explain it clearly. The Forward Battalion is different from other Dajin troops, and it is not something that can be used casually to test. The fighters of the forward battalion are the elite of the elite, and if one is killed in battle, it is a huge loss. Du Hu Chan's previous losses have already injured the forward battalion very much.
However, while breathing a sigh of relief, everyone felt that there was a huge problem. When the Dajin army swarmed in, Zhang Zhun actually appeared publicly. What does that mean? Damn, this isn't showing your face, it's a deliberate provocation! Knowing that Huang Taiji was coming, Zhang Zhun deliberately showed himself, didn't he deliberately stimulate Huang Taiji?
In an instant, all the personnel of the Dajin Army were extremely angry. This Zhang Zhun, when he was in Dongjiabao, cheated the Dajin Army, so that all the Dajin Army was a little jealous of him. Now, Zhang Zhun has appeared in the canal again, no matter how you look at it, it seems a little weird. Could it be that Zhang Zhun is ready to pit the Golden Army again? In other words, Du Hu Chan was indeed cheated before. The forward battalion lost several hundred men in the battle, which was a very large loss.
"Who has a way to intercept Zhang Zhun down?"
Huang Taiji put down the clairvoyant mirror and asked with a gloomy face.
Like everyone else, Huang Taiji felt that Zhang Zhun's sudden appearance was also a provocation to himself. In Dongjiabao, Zhang Zhun didn't dare to provoke the Dajin Army like this, in the small ditch of the canal, he actually dared to do this, it can be seen that he really didn't take the Dajin Kingdom, the Dajin Army, and even his Emperor Taiji in his eyes.
Because he came in a hurry, for fear that Zhang Zhun would fly away from Dezhou City, Huang Taiji did not carry heavy weapons such as cannons, and naturally there were no trebuchets or the like. Without these heavy weapons, it would be impossible to sink the ship directly. Hu Chan had already tried it before riding and shooting, but it was useless, but he took his life in vain.
However, seeing Zhang Zhun wreaking havoc in this small canal, Huang Taiji was unwilling! In the past, Zhang Zhun was on the sea, and the cavalry of the Dajin Kingdom could not help him. Now, it's just such a small ditch, far from the sea. The Cao ship of the Tiger Ben Army is not a pure warship. If this is the case, Zhang Zhun can't help it, he, the Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom, is indeed a little aggrieved!
What to do?
What to do?
What to do?
Zilharang and the others, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't think of any good ideas for a while. The Dajin Army's best skill is mounted archery, and if cavalry archery is completely useless, it will definitely be worse in other aspects.
The officers of the forward battalion around him, too, you look at me, I look at you, and they also can't think of any good ideas. Before this, I was afraid that no one would have imagined that such a small ditch would make it so difficult for the people of Dajin to go up and down.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the forward battalion stared at the thirty boats in the canal, just waiting for orders from above, and then launched a fierce attack. However, they waited for a long time, but did not wait for any orders. At this moment, all the high-level officials of the Dajin Kingdom seemed to be dumb.
The immortal heaven does not understand the nature of water, which leads his followers to also understand the nature of water. For the Dajin Army, as long as it involves the issue of water, there is a huge problem. In a long history, the iron cavalry in the north will be seriously weakened in combat effectiveness when they reach the water towns south of the Yangtze River. It can be seen that water is indeed not good for cavalry.
However, no matter how unfavorable it is, Zhang Zhun has to be killed. Otherwise, even such a small river ditch makes it impossible for the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom to cross over, and in the future battle, should they continue to fight? Now it has been confirmed that Zhang Zhun is indeed on the ship. In order to eliminate the scourge of Zhang Zhun, even if the forward battalion pays a certain price, it is worth it.
"Is there no way?"
Huang Taiji's face became even more gloomy.
What a curse! Can't help Zhang Zhun like this?
After a long time, the forward battalion was the red flag commander Mu Cheng and said: "Great Khan, maybe throwing wood into the water can stop Zhang Zhun from advancing?" ”
Zilharang said encouragingly, "What do you say? You tell me in detail. ”
Mu Cheng'e hurriedly explained: "We can't think of a better way for the time being, let's use this method first, slow down the speed of Zhang Zhun's fleet, let him stay on the ship for more time, and can't quickly retract back into Texas City." Perhaps, in a moment, we will come up with something better. ”
Li Sanbao, the commander of the forward battalion with red flags, said: "Isn't there an iron chain? What did the Han people say......"
Zilharang frowned and said, "The iron lock of Chihiro sank to the bottom of the river, and a piece of stone came out of the flag. ”
Li Sanbao grinned and said, "Yes! That's what you say! ”
Zilharang frowned and said, "Where are we going to find such a long iron rope now?" ”
Li Sanbao said helplessly: "I just make a suggestion, if it doesn't work, forget it." ”
Zilharang nodded, and said nothing more.
The other Tartar high-level officials were silent.
For them, there is no problem in fighting, even if the opponent is impregnable, as long as there is an order from above, they will pounce like crazy until the enemy is killed, or killed by the enemy. If you want to use your brain, you will be in trouble. There are so many slave chiefs present, and those who know how to use their brains may not be more than one percent.
Jierharang looked at Huang Taiji a little helplessly, seeing that his eyes flickered slightly, and there was no better idea, so he said in a low voice: "Great Khan, let's throw the wood first and block Zhang Zhun from advancing." ”
On both sides of the canal, there is not much wood, and you have to go to the neighborhood to find it. To be precise, it is to remove the beams of the private house or something. Only these huge pieces of wood can pose a certain threat to Zhang Zhun. Ordinary small wood is no different from ordinary canal garbage. To do this, it is necessary to hurry.
In fact, the most difficult part of this suggestion is how to throw wood into the canal. Everyone knows that as long as you get close to the canal, you will definitely be shot by the Tiger Army. The forward battalion is all precious eggs, and Huang Taiji is reluctant to suffer any damage. If you are killed or injured by the Tiger Army in order to throw wood, it is also very heart-wrenching.
Mu Cheng'e added: "We threw wood in front, and it should be no big problem in the place where Zhang Zhun's fleet has not yet arrived." If Zhang Zhun's fleet comes up, we will retreat cautiously. If the amount of wood is not enough, it is better to have stone and bricks. ”
Zhang Zhun's fleet was still about ten miles away from Dezhou City. The flotilla sailed slowly for the ten miles, and it took about two hours. Two hours is enough time for the Dajin Army of the Forward Battalion to do a lot of things. Of course, time must be rushed.
"Let's all go collect wood!"
Huang Taiji quickly made up his mind and said slowly.
Mu Cheng's method is actually not good. Against Zhang Zhun's fleet, it could not play a fundamental role in blocking it. However, there was no other better way in front of him, so he had to take this for the time being. Throwing wood into the water can indeed effectively reduce the speed of the boat. If you don't do it, you can also crash one or two boats. Perhaps, it can indeed create a little trouble for Zhang Zhun. At this time, no matter what the method, as long as it can be used, it is good.
At the sound of the order, all the soldiers of the forward battalion immediately took action, they demolished a large number of houses from the nearby villages and towns, got the beams and everything off, and then carried them to the bank of the canal, and then smashed them into the water. A large amount of wood was smashed into the water, and the calm canal water soon became agitated. When Zhang Zhun's fleet arrived, there was already a lot of wood floating on the water surface of the Grand Canal.
The bow of the boat under sail kept hitting the top of the wood, making a banging sound. It is said that the enthusiasm of the Tartar Forward Battalion is indeed very high, and the work is also very efficient, and in a short time, hundreds of logs were thrown into the canal. Fortunately, the flow of water in the canal is very slow, and the flow of wood is also very slow. If it were in the Yangtze River, the wood rolling down would have smashed the bow of the ship long ago.
Although Wang Shide has a bit of strategic vision and is more knowledgeable than others, he does not have the slightest practical experience. Finding that there was a large amount of wood on the canal blocking the boats, he couldn't help but start worrying, and said a little uneasily: "My lord, the water is full of wood, how is this good?" ”
Zhang Zhun said indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay to let the Tartar toss." ”
The wood floats on the water, which does have a certain effect on the boats. However, if there are many influences, it is not necessarily. After all, in such a short period of time, the amount of wood thrown in by the Tartars is limited. Moreover, these logs are not fixed, and the boats should be careful to be able to push the wood away.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Of course, for the actions of the Tartars, the Tiger Army must resolutely fight back.
Want to throw wood into the canal in comfort? That's absolutely impossible. Don't be within range of your Tiger's guns, or you'll be shot. You didn't come with a cannon, it was definitely a mistake on your part!
The most prominent Gao Yu, Zhang Yin and others kept shooting and killing any Tartar who tried to get close to the bank of the canal. The range of the Tiger Gun, as well as its accuracy, ensured the successful completion of this task. All the Tartars who were close to the banks of the canal did not hesitate to be attacked by Mini bullets. Some Tartars were unlucky and were knocked over on the spot.
Huang Taiji watched the heartache in the back, but he was helpless. The fire guns of the Tiger Ben Army are still too powerful, and the bows and arrows of the Dajin Army are not opponents at all! Thinking that once the number of the Tiger Ben Army rose wildly, the challenges that the Dajin Army might have to face in the future, Huang Taiji's mood was even more depressed. Wanting the huge population base of the Han people and the continuous number of soldiers, Huang Taiji even felt a little desperate.
"Withdraw it!"
Huang Taiji said helplessly.
The wooden strategy did not work, and if the stalemate continued, it would only make more dead men in the forward battalion.
Zhang Zhun's fleet was certainly moving slowly, like a snail. However, the flotilla is advancing, after all. As a result, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for the forward battalion to throw wood. Under the guns of the Tiger Army, they simply could not get close to the canal. There was no way, only when Zhang Zhun approached Dezhou City, he launched a desperate blow.
However, even when Zhang Zhun went ashore, it was not so easy for the forward battalion to attack. The West Gate of Texas, which is about one hundred and fifty meters away from the wharf. In other words, the Tiger Ben army at the head of the city can completely use Mini bombs to cover the Tiger Ben army in the port to go ashore.
If the Dajin army launched an attack at this time, it would be attacked from both sides from the city and the canal. Needless to say, the casualties must have been very large. The forward battalion is the heart and soul of Huang Taiji. Du Hu Chan had lost hundreds of people, and he was already heartbroken. If the forward battalion continues to suffer losses, his sweat position is really too much danger.
Watching Zhang Zhun's movements from afar, Huang Taiji felt as if something was scratching him fiercely in his heart. I can see it, I can't touch it, this feeling is really uncomfortable. I knew that I would have to drag one or two Franc machine guns over anyway!
"Great Khan ......"
Zilharang suddenly whispered.
Huang Taiji's face was very gloomy, as if a storm was coming.
Because, he clearly saw in the clairvoyant mirror that Zhang Zhun came ashore with a swagger!
