Chapter 504: Looking Northwest
The army marched with a roar, and hundreds of horsemen surrounded Yue Tuo and took the lead out of the camp.
The cavalry was followed by a sky full of foot soldiers, and the various banners of the Eight Banners of Jianzhou rolled and flew in the snowflakes. The iron armor roared, and the steps were sonorous. The main force of the Yuetuo Department of the Jianzhou Army besieging Jinan was dispatched, except for some of the soldiers who were left behind and Du Du drove the people and prisoners to attack the city day and night.
This time, the Qing troops entered the customs and robbed, and the two-way army was almost all the mobile forces that could be dispatched in Jianzhou. And the Yuetuo department accounts for half of them.
In other words, half of the troops of the entire Jianzhou Eight Banners were in the hands of Yue Tuo and joined this unprecedented war.
The cavalry was okay, the infantry walked such a long way, and they were all covered in sweat, and some people directly took off their fur hats on their heads. Steaming heat rises on the shaved scalp, and snowflakes fall onto the head of the money rat tail, and immediately turn into water and flow into the neck.
But everyone didn't feel cold, and the upcoming fight made everyone's adrenaline hormones secrete a lot, and there was blood gushing in their hearts.
Like their titular ancestors, these soldiers from the White Mountains and Black Waters also enjoyed the cold weather.
But as soon as they saw Yue Tuo, who was holding his hands and huddled on horseback, and seeing the heavy expressions of the elite white armor beside him, a trace of uneasiness flashed in everyone's hearts.
Yue Tuo was the older of the generals of the Jianzhou United Army, and he was also mild-mannered, and he loved to read Hanshu, so he seemed to be a little out of place with everyone. The Jianzhou man has always respected and admired that good man, and to be honest, Yue Tuo seems a little unusual in his speech and demeanor, which makes people unapproachable.
But I have to admit that as long as he commands the army, everyone seems to have an extremely easy battle, and they can easily win the battle. This person is an old fox, and like Azig, he is a rare person among the people of Jianzhou who likes to use his brain. Slowly, everyone developed a deep trust in him
。
Of course, during this siege of Jinan, things seemed to have changed. The battle was very unsmooth, hundreds of Jianzhou warriors who died under the city in the past few days, plus the prisoners who drove to the front line, the corpses left on the battlefield were enough to pile up several mountains.
To be able to leave the big city behind him, which devoured countless lives, and to have a happy fight with Han Dog on the battlefield, to be honest, everyone was extremely happy and relaxed in their hearts. (.marshmallow)
The warriors of the Eight Banners have to ride on fast horses, dance steel knives, and gallop in the wilderness to enjoy themselves.
But when you look at the commander-in-chief, even the confused will see that something seems to be wrong. You must know that if he had gone out on an expedition before, this small Yue Tuo would have straightened his waist and pole, like a javelin, and a banner to the front of the team.
The people of Liaodong are not afraid of the cold, even in the days when they will immediately condense into icicles when they pee out for three or nine days, Yue Tuo will only wear a thin cotton jacket and an iron armor on the outside, which looks dignified.
But today, this Yue Tuo, who looked clean and neat, leaned over and put his hands into his sleeves. Looking at him again, in addition to his jacket, he was also covered with mink fur, which looked very bloated, like a hibernating bear, and the whole person couldn't lift his energy.
Gradually, the laughter and curses in the ranks died down.
Yue Tuo has no spirit, and he will be the spirit of the army, and everyone is secretly worried, feeling that this expedition does not seem to be good.
Only the sound of horses' hooves and soldiers' footsteps remained, and only the snow could not stop falling, and the atmosphere seemed dull and solemn.
There were scouts running back and forth in front of the group, slush all over.
The army of Ming dogs lined up in the east of Jinan, and the line was pushed flat, and the team was hundreds of miles long.
Unlike the previous battles in which they fought separately and collapsed at the first touch, this time the Ming people pounced as if they were crazy, and the army was extremely huge.
The scouts of Jianzhou and the border army of the Ming Dynasty did not collect the scouts at night and did not want money, and the reconnaissance network had been expanded to a hundred miles away, so it was inevitable that they would contact it first.
I heard that the scouts on both sides have started to fight in the vast land of Qilu. I don't know how many encounters, big and small, sounded in the early morning
。 Of course, it must be the men of our Jianzhou who won the final victory.
This can be seen from the blood of the scouts, condensed into the stubble, from the staring eyes and mouths hanging from the sides of the horses' necks.
The scouts gasped for breath and kept bringing in the news.
"General Yue Tuo, Minggou's main force Guan Ning Army is less than fifty miles away from our army, and it can be contacted at noon."
"General Yue Tuo, the hour is not early, with the speed of Minggou's advancement, I am afraid that it will be too late for today's decisive battle, it is better to ask the athletes to find a place and set up camp."
Hearing the scout's report and hearing the advice of his generals, Yue Tuo reluctantly poked his head out of his fur hat, but his face was so red that he felt as if someone had poured a scoop of boiling water into his head, and he couldn't concentrate on it in a flash.
On the contrary, his body was so cold that he thought it was a cold wind, and one cold wave after another poured from the soles of his feet and penetrated deep into his spine.
There is no doubt that I have smallpox.
Moreover, it is at such a juncture as the decisive battle of the army.
He had been having a high fever since last night, and at that time, Yue Tuo was so frightened that he almost fainted. Immediately, a Han man who knew how to heal was selected from among the captives and quietly brought into the camp, and then he was prescribed a dose of medicine and drank it in a fit of anger.
But after taking the medicine, the heat in the body was not only not relieved, but then worsened.
By now, he had burned to the ground, and his body was convulsed.
The thought of the terrible condition of the smallpox patients he had seen before made Yue Tuo tremble with fear. According to him, what he should do now is to immediately hand over the military power at hand, and then lie down on the bed and recuperate carefully. Relying on his own body to carry it, as long as he carries it for ten days and a half months, he may come back to life, although this hope is so slim.
But he couldn't, yes, he couldn't. This military power was obtained by himself after so many years of planning and calculation. If you give up, will there be such an opportunity in the future?
I think that at the beginning, in order to support Huang Taiji, he persuaded the four major Baylors, and even used many dishonorable means, which won the emperor's trust.
In the DPRK and China, it is not known how many political enemies have been established
。
Now in the Chinese war, Dolgon and Duoduo are very ambitious, and once they hear the news that they are sick, they will definitely run over and take the military power as soon as possible.
At that time, all the mobile armies in Jianzhou fell into the hands of their two brothers, and no one could control them, even if they survived, they would not be able to explain to the emperor when they returned to Shengjing.
I can't fall, absolutely not.
Even if he wants to fall, he has to solve Hong Chengchou first.
"No, keep going. Han dog is cowardly, one afternoon is enough for us to crush them all. Yue Tuo trembled a little when he heard his own voice, not because of excitement, nor because of fear, but because of cold, cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
He deliberately straightened up, laughed loudly, and asked, "What, are you afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid!"
"Warriors of Jianzhou, are your knives sharpened quickly?"
"Fast enough to cut off the heads of a hundred Han dogs!"
"Are you ready for your wine?"
"Ready, just the meat of the Han dog?"
"Is an afternoon enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough!" Everyone brandished their weapons and shouted loudly, and for a while, the morale of the dull troops was high.
……
After shouting a few times, Yue Tuo felt a layer of sweat oozing out of his body, and his underwear was already drenched, but his body was much more relaxed.
But there is a feeling of emptiness in my heart, and everything around me begins to bloom, and I can't concentrate on it.
Taking a deep breath, Yue Tuo suddenly saw a guard next to him with a face full of red dots printed on his bright weapon.
Isn't that yourself?
There was a sadness in his heart: I was already in my early forties, my body had gone downhill, and it would not be so easy to survive this catastrophe
。 But I can't die, I can't die...... This campaign must end today. Because...... Because tomorrow I'll have pimples, and then I'll be thickened, and then I won't be able to hide from anyone.
In the midst of sorrow, a group of cavalry came running quickly. These people were very dirty, their eyes were full of red silk, and their faces were tired to death, obviously they had not slept all night, and they had just gone through a fierce fight. The strangest thing is that these people all have a hint of panic on their faces.
Yue Tuo's heart moved, and he was a little uneasy, and he shouted angrily: "Let them come, quickly!" ”
The captain of the scout cavalry was very athletic, rushed to Yue Tuo, turned over and dismounted, and hit a thousand with one hand: "Tell General Yue Tuo, we are the scout team in the northwest of Jinan, and at the end of the day, our department found a group of Ming troops, numbering about 5,000, rushing around the Qi River and Jiyang. I don't know if I want to go straight to Jinan, or if I want to go around to the flank of our army. The sentry circles they sent out were extraordinarily large, well-equipped, and had good combat effectiveness. I don't know what to do, so I ask the general to show me. ”
Yue Tuo froze and laughed dryly: "Big detour, interspersed with the flank of our army, when did Minggou's battle be so aggressive, is it possible, is it possible?" ”
Hearing his self-talk, the hearts of the Qing generals were all in their hearts. From the year of the Apocalypse to the present, Jianzhou and the Ming army do not know how many times they have fought each other. Regardless of the old generals in the army, it can be said that the young men and women in Jianzhou grew up in the fight with the Ming army.
The combat methods of the Ming army, especially the Guanning Iron Cavalry, known as the first male army of the Ming Dynasty, have long been familiar to everyone.
Although the border army in the important town of the nine borders also has war horses and cavalry legions, as soon as they encounter the Jianzhou army, they will invariably withdraw their troops to the fortress and fortify the city, and wait until the warriors of the Eight Banners have grabbed enough outside and are tired of robbing, and they dare to go out of the city after returning with a full load.
Even if they were ordered out of the battle by their superiors, they were all armies gathered together, echoing each other and slowly advancing. Well guarded. Of course, this kind of tortoise shell-like formation encountered the elite of the Eight Banners, and it was still a one-touch collapse and vulnerable.
The big roundabout interspersing and outflanking is not Minggou's combat style. Moreover, with the inferior quality of the Ming army, such a method of warfare could not be used. Otherwise, before my Jianzhou men attacked, they would have to run away first.
This kind of tactics can only be applied to the Meng Jiajun of Qiang Qin, Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty, Li Erlang's black-armored iron cavalry, and Xu Da who crisscrosses Mobei.
If Hangou had such an army, would it be possible for my Jurchen to survive?
