Chapter 81 Can you hold Tianjin Wei?

There was no moonlight, no stars, the sky was gloomy and terrible, a heavy rain and snow was coming, Zhang Feng looked at the sky again worriedly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Feng prayed in his heart that it would not rain.

If it rains, moist air, or even rain, can damp gunpowder, and if it can't fire a shot because of gunpowder moisture, then it's a big deal.

"Quick, quick, faster."

Zhang Feng kept shouting while trotting, urging everyone to speed up and hurry, no one knew when the Tartar cavalry would catch up.

Seeing this, many officers also shouted like Zhang Feng and trotted forward with everyone......

As the minutes passed, there was only the heavy wheezing of everyone, the dense bursts of running, and the occasional shouts of the officers.

"Chief soldier, many people can't run anymore."

Zhang Feng waved his hand: "If you can't run, get into the carriage of the baggage company first, and continue to run for me if you can run, and then rest after running for half an hour." ”

There are about dozens of wagons in the baggage company, which are generally used to transport supplies, ammunition, etc., and the more than 100 soldiers who transport the baggage company are also equipped with flintlock pistols, and can also shoot in three stages with everyone when necessary.

There was still a lot of ammunition on each carriage, because part of it was consumed in the Langfang area, and it was no problem to carry two or three more people on each carriage.

The soldiers who really couldn't run were helped into the carriage and rode forward, of course, they also took a short rest in the carriage, while the others continued to run and move forward under the leadership of Zhang Feng, Wang Chaoyong and officers at all levels.

The modern marathon is about 42 kilometers, and the runners generally run in a little more than two hours, and even if they go from Langfang to Tianjin Wei along the official road, there are no detours, but there are also 60 or 70 kilometers, and the soldiers have to carry weapons and ammunition on their backs, which is a weight-bearing run, plus a break in the middle, at least five or six hours, that is, eleven or two hours.

"Chief soldier, there is about one more hour, and we will go to Tianjin Wei in another hour." Wang Chaoyong said loudly as he ran.

Zhang Feng nodded, Tianjin Wei seemed to be in sight, but often at this critical moment, it was the easiest to go wrong.

Sure enough, the two members of the intelligence team galloped over on Guan Peng's order, and the two war horses were almost foaming at the mouth, and it seemed that they were estimated to have galloped for one or two hundred miles all the way.

"Report to ..... Chief....Soldier!"

The two team members were out of breath, their tone was intermittent, and they seemed a little out of breath, Zhang Feng stopped and said loudly: "Don't worry, speak slowly, what information?" ”

One of the team members said: "Lord Commander, the main force of the Tartars did not go to Langfang, and directly rerouted to come here, and it is estimated that it will chase here in half an hour." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Feng was amazementously serious, and said in his heart, the Manchu Tartars still caught up, the other party's 100,000 cavalry, and his own less than 2,000 people, this is simply death and no life.

Although he was very disappointed in his heart, Zhang Feng did not show it on his face, he seemed as calm as ever, and said loudly: "I know." ”

After speaking, Zhang Feng shouted again: "Everyone work harder, hurry, hurry, we will go to Tianjin Wei soon." ”

The team does not stop, running along the official road, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will not give up, they must work hard, work hard, and work hard.

There are more and more soldiers who can't run, and they have no choice but to get into the carriage, sit in the carriage and follow everyone to Tianjin Wei, but almost every two carriages have already sat two or three people, if there are any more soldiers who can't run, it is estimated that it will be difficult to squeeze into the carriage again.

Zhang Feng looked at the team, the speed of the soldiers was getting slower and slower, the wheezing sound was getting heavier and heavier, Wang Chaoyong was also out of breath, and gasped: "Total....Lord Commander, everyone can't run, let's just stop and fight with the Tartars." ”

Zhang Feng didn't speak, just looked ahead.

In the darkness, far ahead, there seemed to be a lot of light moving, and it seemed that there were many people coming here.

Wang Chaoyong quickly noticed it, looked at the moving points of light in the distance, and said loudly: "Chief soldier, it won't be the cavalry of the Tartars." ”

Zhang Feng shook his head lightly and said, "No, it won't be a tartar, because it came from the direction of Tianjin Wei." ”

The team stopped, and it didn't take long for Zhang Feng to see clearly when these points of light were near, these were hundreds of carriages, and hundreds of young men drove the carriages along the pipeline.

Wang Chaoyong laughed happily: "Chief soldier, that's our people, we have a carriage to sit on, no need to run desperately." ”

Zhang Feng nodded, and led everyone to greet him, after confirming that it was those young and strong, Zhang Feng's heart was light, and he happily asked the leader: "What is your name, how do you know to pick us up?" ”

The leader replied loudly: "General soldier Zhang, my name is Cheng Sanshun, the news of our victory in Langfang came, I estimated that the general soldier would return to Tianjin, so I organized everyone to go out of the city overnight to meet the general soldier, and I didn't think about meeting everyone here." ”

It has been so long since Haoge defeated Haoge in Langfang this morning, and it is not surprising that the news reached Tianjin Wei, Zhang Feng said happily: "Cheng Sanshun, good job, you came just in time!" ”

After praising Cheng Sanshun, Zhang Feng said loudly to the soldiers: "Everyone get on the car, all take the carriage, and we will go back to Tianjin Wei." ”

In this way, everyone no longer has to run, everyone is in a light mood, take a carriage towards Tianjin Wei, the speed of the carriage is much faster than running, and just now is completely different, no heaviness, no anxiety and worry, only cheerful.

Everyone arrived at Tianjin Wei all the way easily, and it was supposed to run for nearly an hour, but it only took about half an hour to take the carriage.

………

About twenty or thirty miles away from Tianjin Wei, a huge team, also carrying torches and a bright light stretching for one or twenty miles, was advancing rapidly along the official road leading to Tianjin Wei.

Dolgon rode his war horse, and was also advancing along the official road under the support of a group of guards, when a Manchu Tartar came over and reported: "Master, it is not far from Tianjin Wei, it seems that we will soon be able to catch up with that group of Ming troops." ”

Dolgon's expression was solemn, and he shook his head gently, an hour ago, Dolgon also thought so, thinking that he would soon catch up with the Ming army, but as time passed, Dolgon's heart gradually sank.

Now, Tianjin Wei is in sight, and there is no trace of the Ming army, Dolgon guessed that most of the Ming army has entered Tianjin Wei.

Dolgon said: "It seems that we can't catch up with that group of Ming troops, and they are estimated to have entered Tianjin Wei at this time." ”

This Tartar Gushan was stunned, and then immediately said: "Master, if you don't catch up with them, it doesn't matter, we can besiege the Tianjin Guards, and they can't escape." ”

The Manchu Qing Dynasty's 100,000 troops surrounded a Tianjin Wei, naturally it was not difficult to do, as long as the Tianjin Wei was besieged, Zhang Feng and the others still couldn't escape.

Dole rolled and nodded: "It seems that this is the only way, tell the warriors, speed up, and surround the entire Tianjin Wei after arriving at Tianjinwei." ”

"Yes!"

A few pro-soldiers and several Tartar officers next to him agreed violently, quickly conveying orders, and the marching speed of the team was noticeably faster.

Zhang Feng found the Tartars about a quarter of an hour after entering the city, and the soldiers and more than 2,000 young men had just entered the city wall.

Standing on the city tower, Zhang Feng looked into the distance.

Wang Chaoyong walked over quickly and said loudly: "Chief soldier, everything has been arranged, except for the guard company to be retained as a reserve, all the other soldiers and all the young men have gone to the city wall." ”

Zhang Feng nodded and said slowly: "Chaoyong, in the face of 100,000 Manchu iron cavalry, do you think we can defend Tianjin?" ”

Previously, everyone had not carefully considered defending the city, everyone marched all the way, and there was only one thought in everyone's mind, that is, before being caught up by the Tartars, as soon as possible to runway Tianjin Wei, now, Zhang Feng asked, Wang Chaoyong was stunned at first, and then magically dignified.

Yes, in the face of 100,000 Manchu Qing Tartars, can you hold Tianjin Wei?
