Langfang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The weather has been relatively cold, the cold wind of hunting is blowing, the sky is a little gloomy, since the afternoon of the day before yesterday began to transport supplies from Langfang City to Tianjin Wei, this is already the morning of the third day, Zhang Feng stood at the head of the city, slightly worried looking at the sky.

Wang Chaoyong quickly climbed up the city tower, ran to Zhang Feng's side, and reported: "General soldier, all the property has been transported to Tianjin Port, and now it should have been loaded onto our transport ship, and now it has begun to transport grain." ”

This is good news, at least all the valuable goods have been transported and loaded, and it is estimated that in a few hours, six steam-powered cargo ships will leave the port of Tianjin, full of goods and bound for the port of Shanghai.

Wang Chaoyong continued: "Chief soldier, there is too much food here, and it is estimated that it will take several days to be lucky. ”

The thousands of livestock are a little better, they are living creatures, they can be driven away, they have left Langfang City, hundreds of young people have driven these livestock out of Langfang for at least dozens of miles, and it is estimated that they can reach Tianjin Wei in the evening.

At this time, there are 1,000 and hundreds of young men and hundreds of carts, preparing to load grain in Langfang City and then transport it to Tianjin Wei.

Zhang Feng said: "There is too much food, look at this day, maybe it is about to snow, even if the Tartars do not come, once it snows, to transport so much grain back to Tianjin Wei, I am afraid of difficulties, the key is that we do not have so much time." ”

Zhang Feng knew that the Tartars would come over in one day as soon as possible and two or three days in the evening, and Zhang Feng was not so arrogant that he could defend Langfang City and hold these grains with less than 2,000 people.

In the Ming Dynasty, where productivity was low, grain was a valuable thing, otherwise it would not be possible to sell a stone of grain for two or three taels of silver, and tens of thousands of stone of grain were simply piled up into a small mountain, and Zhang Feng was naturally unwilling to give up so much grain.

Seeing Zhang Feng's brows furrowed slightly, Wang Chaoyong thought for a while and said, "Chief soldier, I have a suggestion, we might as well consider water transportation, as long as we can collect enough ships, we can directly transport these tens of thousands of stone grain to Tianjin Port." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Feng's eyes lit up, "Yes, you can consider water transportation, if you take water transportation, you can go directly from Langfang to Tianjin Wei, or directly to Tianjin Port." ”

As a result, at least hundreds of soldiers were mobilized to collect ships, or buy them, or requisition them, and some of them were even ownerless ships, because of the military disaster, many people near Langfang ran out.

In a few hours, dozens of large and small boats were finally collected, and some of them were selected from among the 1,000 and hundreds of young people who could support the boats, and bags of grain were loaded onto the boats, and they began to leave Langfang along the river.

In the end, thousands of stone grain ships could not be loaded, so they were directly transported away by hundreds of carts, each of which was full and left Langfang along the official road.

After all this is done, another day has passed.

Everything was transported away, Langfang City was already empty, the big stone in Zhang Feng's heart finally landed, and Zhang Feng was also ready to leave Langfang with his troops and return to Tianjinwei.

Guan Peng rode alone, galloping along the official road leading to Langfang, seeing Langfang City again, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the military situation was urgent, Guan Peng was simply racing against time, and thousands of Manchu iron horsemen would soon come.

Don't stop at all, just speed into the city.

"Lord Commander, urgent....urgent military situation." Guan Peng was even a little out of breath, took a few breaths, and then said loudly: "Lord Commander, thousands of Manchu Qing iron horsemen are coming towards Langfang, and they can reach the city of Langfang in one hour at the latest." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Feng said: "The Tartars are finally here, as I expected, fortunately, all the things in Langfang City have been emptied, and you can let go of the battle with the Tartars." ”

If it was tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry, Zhang Feng would definitely not hesitate and leave immediately, he was about 1,500 people, even if the ammunition was sufficient, he could not meet tens of thousands of Manchu cavalry, but if there were only thousands of Manchu cavalry, it would be different.

Hearing that the Tartars were coming, Wang Chaoyong's eyes lit up, and since he defeated the Tartars in Tianjin Wei and beheaded more than 12,000 levels, Wang Chaoyong was full of confidence.

Wang Chaoyong said: "Lord Commander, the Tartar cavalry came just in time, this time they will not come back!" ”

Zhang Feng nodded, confident and morale, this is a good thing, Zhang Feng is also ready to give it a try, if he fights in the frontal field, whether his musket is powerful or the Tartar cavalry is powerful.

So, Zhang Feng did not hesitate and said loudly: "Pass my order and prepare to fight!" ”

The order was given, the fighters quickly got ready, appeared to be orderly, the fighters had been baptized by several battles, completely different, they were already veterans worthy of the name, veterans with rich experience in actual combat.

Half an hour later......

This is a flat and open place, because it is early winter, the crops have long been harvested, the flat is almost impossible to see at a glance, even tens of thousands of people can be used, at the same time, this is the only way for the Tartar cavalry, not far behind is Langfang City.

The fighters were already in position, two infantry battalions were in front, neat and solemn, and the fighters of each battalion stood in three rows, each row of more than a hundred people, this was a company of soldiers.

Not far behind everyone, thirty-two unconscionable cannons were lined up, and the one-foot-thick muzzles were aimed diagonally into the distance, and the two soldiers next to each unconscionable cannon were ready.

The first and second battalions were in the front, and the third battalion was responsible for the flanks, and everyone waited solemnly for the arrival of the Tartar cavalry.

The whole battlefield was silent, no one moved, there was no noise, showing strict discipline, only the sound of the north wind blowing.

Zhang Feng looked into the distance, looking at the direction where the Tartar cavalry came, Wang Chaoyong stood beside Zhang Feng with a straight face.

Don't look at Wang Chaoyong's usual hippie smile, but once he encounters a war, he is very serious, and he is like two people in peacetime.

Little by little, time passed, and the Tartar cavalry came!

Zhang Feng heard the faint sound of horses' hooves, and knew that the Tartar cavalry was coming, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a dense small black dot to appear in the distance, and when the distance was close, it could be seen very clearly, this was the Tartar cavalry, and it was the elite of the Manchu Tartar cavalry.

It's a good time, Lao Tzu is the elite, Zhang Feng thought in his heart.

The Tartar cavalry obviously knew that Zhang Feng had already set up a position, and at a distance of about two or three hundred meters from Zhang Feng, the Tartar cavalry stopped.

I have to say that the Tartar elite is really well-trained, and even the team is not chaotic, invisibly, there is a murderous aura of Xiao Xiao, and the invisible murderous aura seems to pass through.

If it was an ordinary Ming army, in the face of thousands of elite Tartar cavalry, it is estimated that there would have been a little panic a long time ago, but the soldiers did not, the soldiers were not chaotic at all, and waited solemnly, waiting for Zhang Feng's order.

Five thousand Manchu cavalry elite, led by Haoge, riding a tall horse, wearing bright armor, about three hundred meters away from Zhang Feng.

Seeing that Zhang Feng and the others really did not have two thousand people, and there was no armor, all the muskets, Haoge smiled happily.

Fighting with the Ming army not a hundred times but dozens of times, Hauge asked himself to know the Ming army very well, and he also knew about the firearms of the Ming army, and knew that in front of his thousands of elite cavalry, the Ming army's musket was a burning stick.

Haoge really didn't understand, how Yue Tuo and they were wiped out by this Ming army of more than 12,000 people, even if there were more than 10,000 pigs, with this Ming army of less than 2,000 people, they couldn't kill it.

Incomprehensible, completely incomprehensible.

Hauge even shook his head slightly, carefully looked at the Ming army not far ahead, and Hauge said loudly: "Tell the warriors, all charge, kill all these Ming troops!" ”

The terrain here is open and flat, which is completely conducive to the large-scale charge of cavalry, and Hauge naturally knows this, preparing to end the battle in one round, and kill the Ming army in one charge.

Although the 5,000 elite cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were well-disciplined and well-trained, if you looked closely, you would find that many of the Tartars were already bright-eyed and eager to try.

The Great War is imminent!

………

Taihe Palace, early dynasty.

Today's morning dynasty has been a little long, and it has been more than an hour, and many ministers have numb legs, but things are one after another, and there is far from end.

The 100,000-strong army of the Tartars has surrounded Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses, and the situation is critical, and the ministers have not come up with effective countermeasures so far.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, and his face was not good-looking. In order to rescue Lu Xiangsheng, many ministers argued, and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, did not agree with each other.

Just as everyone was arguing, a eunuch held a Tang newspaper in both hands, bowed his head and hurried into the Taihe Palace, shouting loudly while walking!! 600 miles expedited !! ”
