Chapter 277: Target Horqin Grassland
Yang Tingjian specially arranged for a thousand generals to manage these new Han people with hundreds of soldiers, and Yang Tingjian's team grew like a snowball, and in one day, Yang Tingjian's team had more than 20,000 people, and everyone had horses.
That night, Yang Tingjian could finally rest for the night, but Yang Tingjian still sent a large number of night vigils.
The distress letter flew to Dolgon's desk like snowflakes, this Ming army slaughtered the entire Liaoyang City, more than 50,000 Manchus in the city, only a few people who were hidden in the shadows were not killed, and they also burned grain and grass and robbed the military salary, the original estimate was that the Ming army would go to Shenyang, so the three chasing soldiers fanned out to pursue Shenyang, after confirming in the three, it was indeed this Ming army in the north.
This time he said that nothing could let the Ming army escape, and Dolgon called the herald to inform the other two commanders to come to the meeting. The three of them unanimously decided to pursue north, not to Shenyang, and Yang Tingjian waited for this result.
Yang Tingjian gave the rested soldiers a big meal on the second day, straightened out the team, and looked at the black pressure below, the majestic and high-spirited more than 20,000 cavalry, Yang Tingjian suddenly had the feeling of pointing out the country.
Mo Dao pointed to the sky, "The target is to rob the Terqin grassland for money, food, women, and ......"; “
"The target is to rob the Terqin grassland for money, food, women, and ......"
Is there a more morale-boosting slogan than that? No, that's the most powerful thing.
The sound of hooves is like thunder, and the 20,000 army is like a torrent that opens the gate, killing towards the Horqin grassland, going to the Horqin grassland for 600 miles, galloping for a day, what should I do if the horses are tired? There are many horses on the grassland, and they grab it casually.
Behind the butt is the elite cavalry of 100,000 Tartars, more than 2,000 themselves, and nearly 20,000 Han people who are coerced.
This time when he ran, Yang Tingjian directly ordered everyone to run at full speed for an hour, jogging for half an hour to recover their horsepower, and then running at full speed for an hour, jogging and so on.
In the evening of the same day, more than 20,000 horses led by Yang Tingjian were killed to the edge of the Horqin grassland, and riding a horse for a day would make people very tired, and the whole body seemed to be about to fall apart, and it was good to rest before carrying out tomorrow's war.
Yang Tingjian sent a large number of people to rest after not collecting the night, all the people did not have tents, but it rained heavily in the middle of the night, everyone finally slept for three hours, this is fighting in the hinterland of the enemy country, the advantage is to act quickly, do not worry about the baggage, go wherever you go. Where to eat. The downside is that this damn weather is trying to play tricks on people.
A few people put on a blanket and continued to sleep, it was indeed too tired, and when it finally cleared up at dawn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Tingjian found a few thousand generals, and ordered each person to bring seven or eight thousand, sweep from north to south, if there are many Mongolian cavalry, send the earth-shaking thunder to serve, don't take the risk of brothers easily, and then meet at the mouth of the Laoha River valley.
Laoha River is a relatively wide river valley in the Yanshan Mountain Range, with flat terrain and direct access to Chifeng Pass, the Guancheng of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that Yang Tingjian is preparing to go back from Chifeng Pass.
It is said that Dolgon, Mang Gurtai, and Daishan will cry silently when they pass by the place where Yang Tingjian passes, it is really miserable, all the way to the corpse, all the way to the ruins. Chase all the way, cry all the way.
Four Ming troops, each Ming army 1,000 tiger iron cavalry big head, meet a larger camp, more Mongolian cavalry, let the baggage horse camel with a thunderstorm bombing, in the momentum to cover the kill, this set is now used by all the tiger iron cavalry is very skillful, but the entire Horqin grassland is really few men, basically all of the Horqin prince was evacuated, went to the Daling River defense line.
A dragon that went to sea set off a bloody storm in the Horqin grassland and implemented the law of the grassland; "All the wheels above click." Anyway, this policy was invented by the Mongolian ancestors, and it is used without paying piracy taxes.
All the Ming troops are burning and looting, countless cattle, sheep and horses are driven to the mouth of the Laoha River valley, and now the Ming army has a clear division of labor, the tiger and the iron cavalry are responsible for fighting, and the new Han people are responsible for driving the cattle and sheep.
The pursuing Dolgon and the Mongol cavalry were completely angry, and the entire Horqin steppe was in flames, all the tribes were slaughtered, all the cattle and sheep were robbed, and the pastures were burned, so many people were afraid to starve to death this winter.
"Newspaper; The Tartars and Mongol pursuers are still three hundred miles away. ”
Originally, the distance between Yang Tingjian and the pursuing soldiers was 600 li, and according to the distance of 60 li on horseback every hour, it should be ten hours, but now the distance is 300 li, it seems that the Tartars and the Mongols are in a hurry.
"Speed order, order all troops to gradually move closer and move forward at full speed."
It is said that all the new Han people are young and strong, and happily drive countless cattle and sheep to the world, this speed is of course not fast, about thirty miles per hour, and the speed of the Tartar pursuers is sixty miles per hour. It will take five hours to catch up with Yang Tingjian, and time is enough for Yang Tingjian.
All the soldiers swept away for two more hours, and then Yang Tingjian's order came;
"All the young and strong people drive the cattle and sheep first, and all the tigers and iron horses converge at speed."
Yang Tingjian's order was very simple, but everyone understood that their adults rarely gave orders randomly, and all the Tiger Ben Iron Cavalry stopped sweeping and quickly concentrated on Yang Tingjian's office.
Every five hours, Yang Tingjian would send a battle report to the Jingshi, and now the eyes of the entire Ming Dynasty were attracted to this army.
Chongzhen and the bosses of various departments now want to see Yang Tingjian's telegram every day, and as soon as they understand the latest battle situation in Liaodong, it can be said that Yang Tingjian's 3,000 cavalry has touched every nerve of the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Xinjia's mansion door was knocked open by a businessman, this person and Chen Shangshu just became a Shangshu acquaintance, and he made a generous move, Chen Shangshu got a lot of benefits in his hands, the two were polite, and the businessman did not spare the bend and said;
"Yang Tingjian took the Tiger Ben Army to slaughter the city in Liaodong, the corpses were thousands of miles apart, looting property and raping YIN women, that is called a miserable !! This is a human being, this is simply a beast, and it insults the reputation of the state of etiquette of the Ming Dynasty! ”
After the merchant finished speaking, he took out a thick stack of materials, and Chen Shangshu picked it up and flipped it over without care, and immediately smiled.
"Brother, your material is very good, very real and detailed, I will definitely write to impeach this madman."
Don't think it's just a material, there are ten silver tickets in the middle, each with a denomination of 100,000 taels, it seems that this Huang Taiji is out of blood, the military salary was robbed, the grain and grass were burned, it was difficult, and he came to bribe.
