Seeing Zhang Zhun coming, Zhou Yanyu and Li Yang both came up and saluted.
Although it was still early spring weather, both of them were already wearing summer clothes, which shows that the two of them have indeed worked hard along the way. When they appeared in front of Zhang Zhun, the military uniforms on their bodies were soaked with sweat and clinging tightly to their bodies.
"What about the casualties of the troops?"
After Zhang Zhun raised his hand to return the salute, he asked with concern.
"The casualties are not big, but they are a little tired, and they are tossed with the Tartars all the way, and they are cunning enough to choke those Tartars, and they are harassed every night, causing the secret whistle to constantly sound guns. Some fighters were not used to it, and they could not sleep when they heard the sound of gunfire, and as a result, they did not have to sleep for a whole night. ”
Zhou Yanyu replied cautiously.
"Some of the new fighters are mentally nervous, they can't sleep at night, and they don't have enough energy during the day, and they always doze off. When I came out of Jinzhouwei, this kind of situation was very common, but now that it has been a long time, everyone has gradually adapted to it, and the situation is much better. ”
Li Yang said bluntly.
"The closer you get to Liaoyang and Shenyang, the more powerful the Tartars will definitely be. We are going to raid the Tartars' lair, and the Tartars will inevitably do everything they can to attack and fight back wildly. The more areas controlled by the Tartars, the more concentrated their forces became. You should be mentally prepared for this. ”
"We must repeatedly warn the soldiers below that the closer you get to Liaoyang and Shenyang, the more you must not relax. This is the land of the Tartars, and the Tartars have many innate advantages, and if we are not careful, we will be fooled and will suffer losses. We are suffering a little for the time being, the purpose is to annihilate all the Tartars, and we will not have to suffer again in the future. ”
Zhang Zhun said earnestly.
"We'll take notice."
Zhou Yanyu and Li Yang both replied immediately.
Zhang Zhun nodded, and walked into the deep well pier with the two of them, carefully checking the traces of the battle.
When they entered the city, the captives were being taken out. Most of these captives were rebels of the Ming army, the Han army banner called by the Tatars, and a small number were Korean servants. They used to look arrogant, but now they look like they are completely lost dogs. They all drooped their heads, and they didn't have any energy at all.
may be because of Zhang Zhun's personal influence, the Tiger Ben army is very hateful to Han Jian and the North Korean Ertars. After catching these guys, of course, there will be no good treatment. In the military regulations of the Tiger Ben Army, it is clearly stipulated that prisoners cannot be beaten or scolded. However, for the Tartars, Han Jian, and the North Korean Second Tartars, that's another matter.
Some of the Tiger Army soldiers were escorting the captives out, and some of the prisoners were walking slowly, and the Tiger Ben Army soldiers went up with a rifle butt and gave each other a shot mercilessly. Sometimes they just knock the other person to the ground. The captives were already numb, and after being knocked down, they hurriedly staggered to their feet and continued to run with the large army of captives.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhun couldn't help but shake his head. These bloodless fellows deserve to be taught a lesson. As long as they still have a little bit of blood and a little bit of backbone, they will not fall to the point they are today. It's like what is the point of these people, even if they live? A past that has been so numb all your life?
It is conceivable that most of the rebels, in the past days, can be described as years after days. Since the Tartars lost the battle in Beizhili, their situation can be said to be declining. Obviously, with the Tartars, there is definitely no way out. However, if you want to turn back, it is no longer possible. The whole Ming Kingdom hated Han Jian very much, and it was definitely not just Zhang Zhun and Hu Benjun.
At the beginning, Kong Youde naively thought that with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he could get a way to live above the court, but as a result, Chongzhen didn't give him any chance at all, so he ordered him to be broken into pieces. It can be seen that at this point, Zhang Zhun and Chongzhen are absolutely in common - for Han Jian, they are absolutely not soft.
Especially in this winter, under the scorching cold, the rebels, who lack food and clothing, finally gave up their illusions about the Tartars completely. If conditions permit, maybe the Tartars will also take care of the Han military flag. However, in the case of insufficient materials, the Tartars will never pay attention to the life and death of these Han people. They can't even take care of their own people, where do they still have the heart to care about these Han Jian?
As for the North Korean servant army, it is even more needless to say. In the area controlled by the Dajin Kingdom, the status of the Korean servant army was the lowest, and it was even inferior to the slaves of the Han Chinese. The dirtiest and most tiring work is done by North Koreans. During the siege, the people who were specially responsible for transporting siege weapons were also Koreans. No one cares about the existence of North Koreans, just as North Koreans themselves never expect themselves to be qualified.
For the rebels and Korean prisoners he caught, Zhang Zhun's plan was to let them mine on the spot in southern Liaoning. Liaodong is rich in gold, iron, coal and timber resources. Extracting these resources requires a lot of manpower. Let the prisoners do such a thing, even if it is re-education through labor.
The most needed resource for the Tiger Army at the moment is wood. With the gradual recommendation of the Tiger Ben Army to the direction of Liaoyang, more and more forests have entered the control of the Tiger Ben Army. In order to cut timber, the Tiger Army needs a large number of lumberjacks. Zhang Zhun's initial plan was to send all the Han army banner captives and Korean prisoners to Changbai Mountain to cut wood.
After entering the city, there was a depression inside. The deep well pier was only a military fortress, and there was no civilian presence. After the fierce battle, the streets can be described as a mess. There were a large number of enemy corpses lying on the ground, some of them were Tartars, some of them were of the Han army, and some of them were of the Korean two Tartars. Some of the Tiger Ben soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield.
Li Yang's artillery battalion, when attacking the city, waved brilliantly. The cannonballs they fired smashed almost all the buildings that could be seen inside the deep piers. Everywhere there were smashed ruins, broken stone and bricks everywhere. In a large number of debris piles, there are still solid bullets fired by thunder cannons.
Some of the fighters of the artillery battalion, carrying large baskets, are recovering solid ammunition that can continue to be used. The solid ammunition used by the artillery of the Tiger Army had to be transported from distant Shandong, and if the front line could be recycled, the logistical burden would be reduced a lot.
"Don't Move"
"Stop"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
The guards beside Zhang Zhun hurriedly raised their vigilance and stared around intently. The muzzle of their guns, aimed in any direction where danger may arise. 6 Dian hurried to the front to see what was going on.
Zhou Yanyu and Li Yang were also a little confused, looking ahead, looking around, you look at me, I look at you, they are a little surprised. Listening to the shouting sound in front of you, it should be an enemy. However, how can there be enemies in the deep piers?
"Bang"
A moment later, a gunshot rang out from the front.
Immediately after, there was a sound of scuffling, as if several people were pulling each other, and the action was quite intense. It may be that in the process of pulling and scuffling, I bumped into something next to me, and it turned out to be a rattling sound.
Zhou Yanyu and Li Yang couldn't be calm anymore, and hurriedly walked to the front to check out for themselves. Both of them were a little nervous inside, for fear that there would be more enemies lurking. Hasn't the battlefield been checked, and there are no living people? How can anyone still scuffle? Could it be that they were ambushed and prepared to deal with Zhang Zhun's assassins?
Zhang Zhun was not surprised at all. It seems that it should be the time to clean up the battlefield, and there is no clean remnant of the enemy, but the result is at this time, so the two sides scuffle. This kind of thing is very common on the battlefield, and there is nothing strange about it. If there is anything strange about it, it is why there is a scuffling sound. The fighters in front, why don't they shoot to solve the battle? What is there to be polite about Tartar?
After a while, 6 Idian came back in a hurry and reported to Zhang Zhun and said, "My lord, I caught a live tartar in front. ”
Zhang Zhun's mind moved slightly, and he said briskly: "Let's go, go and have a look." ”
When the two came to the front, they saw at a glance that in the ruins in front of them, a group of Tiger Ben soldiers were firmly holding a Tartar. There were no scars on this tartar's body, but there was a lot of dust, which must have been brought out of the hiding place. Beside him, there was also a Tartar, who had been stabbed to death with bayonets by the fighters, and blood was spilling all over the ground.
Seeing Zhang Zhun coming, the onlookers of the Tiger Ben Army soldiers all automatically and consciously dispersed. Only two warriors with tall oxen and horses held the living tartar down. Zhou Yanyu and Li Yang, standing in the middle of the field, sent people to continue to remnant the enemy.
Zhang Zhun asked in a deep voice, "How did you catch it?" ”
One of the team replied squarely: "He himself raised his hand and surrendered." ”
Zhang Zhun said with a little surprise: "He saw him raise his hand and surrender?" ”
The team replied affirmatively: "Yes, if he hadn't raised his hands, he would have been killed by us a long time ago, how could he have survived until now?"
He explained in detail that these two Tartars took the initiative to raise their hands and surrender. They didn't know where they were hiding, and when they came out, they didn't carry weapons. According to the discipline of the Tiger Army, the enemy who voluntarily raised his hand to surrender, including the Tartars, was not allowed to be wantonly killed, but a few soldiers could not bear it anymore and rushed forward, so they stabbed one of the Tartars to death. The officer next to him hurriedly stopped the soldiers and saved the life of this Tartar.
Well, to be precise, it's not about saving this Tartar's life, it's about not killing him on the battlefield for the time being. As for where he will be sent in the future, or who will die at the hands of someone, that is all arranged. For the Tartars, as long as they fall into the hands of the Tiger Army, don't think about having a good life. The sound of scuffling that Zhang Zhun heard was actually the sound of the Tiger Ben Army pulling itself. The few soldiers who were eager for revenge moved quite widely, and it took a lot of effort for the officers to pull them apart.
"I see."
Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.
A considerable number of the soldiers of the Weizi battalion are young people from Beizhili, and their hatred for the Tartars goes without saying. If the two Tartars hadn't raised their hands beforehand and were not carrying weapons, they would have been beaten into a hornet's nest. The tartar who was stabbed to death can only be said to have deserved it. Regarding his death, Zhang Zhun will not take it to heart at all.
It's just that there were actually two Tartars who took the initiative to raise their hands to surrender, and this phenomenon still aroused Zhang Zhun's strong interest. In his impression, the Tartars at this time were all fearless of death. It is basically impossible for them to surrender on their own initiative. The only way to capture them alive is to capture them alive after they are seriously injured and lose the ability to resist. The Tartars that the Tiger Ben Army has captured so far have all been obtained through this way.
"Is there anyone who knows how to speak with a Tartar?"
Zhang Zhun thought about it, and subconsciously turned his head and shouted.
He wanted to exchange some information with the Tartar and learn some of his thoughts. However, it is obvious that the Tartar in front of him does not know Chinese at all. Hu Benjun chattered a lot beside him, but he didn't react at all.
The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army around them, you look at me, I look at you, they all subconsciously shook their heads. There are really not many people who understand the language of the Tartars, in the Tiger Ben Army. The language of the Tatars is actually a variant of Mongolian. It is a pity that none of the soldiers in the Weizi battalion and the artillery battalion know Mongolian.
In the end, it was Li Yang who was clever and found three translators from the rebel captives to communicate with this Tartar. These rebels, who have been stationed in Liaodong for a long time, know more or less the language of the Tatars, and there is no problem with simple communication.
According to the results of the communication between the translators and the Tartar, the name of this Tartar is Puda, which is a very common name. Puda's home, in Baitapu, near Shenyang, has several people in the family. However, all the men have been killed. As for where he died, he was vague. Judging from the expression on his face, it should be the head of Dajin Kingdom, and he didn't tell him at all, so he really didn't know.
Before the onset of last winter, Puda was drafted into the army. When asked about Puda's age, he said he was thirteen years old, fourteen years old, and finally he was only twelve years old. The Tatars are tall and strong, and the time of breeding is earlier than that of the Han people. This Puda is estimated to never be over fourteen years old.
The Tartar who was stabbed to death by the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army was a fellow villager of Puda, and his home was also in Baitapu. Puda was very clear about the age of the tartar, saying that he was only twelve years old. The warriors ripped off all the fur and stuff from the tartar's body, and examined it carefully, and now it was indeed a child of twelve or thirteen years old. It's just that he wears a fur of a tartar and a hat on his head, and the angry tiger warriors can't tell his age at all.
Obviously, Huang Taiji is really exhausted, as long as it is a Manchu man, he has been recruited to the battlefield, even if the other party is a child. Such an approach is obviously a curse of heaven. However, for Huang Taiji, it doesn't matter. The Dajin Kingdom no longer exists, does he still care about his people?
"My lord, what to do with him?"
Zhou Yanyu asked Zhang Zhun for instructions.
As he spoke, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army around him were all eyeing each other, and as long as they opened a look, they would start to tear this Tartar to pieces. Many of them originally set foot on the land of Liaodong with the idea of revenge, no matter what kind of tartar they were, they would not let go.
"Let's get locked up first."
Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.
This is the first Tartar captured alive by the Tiger Army, and it is very valuable. Even if you want to kill it, you have to save it for later. Although, it seems, he is most likely still a child, at most less than fourteen years old. However, he was indeed a Tartar, and this was the first time that a Tartar had surrendered without being injured. This shows that the morale of the Tartars has begun to collapse.
After the defeat of Beizhili, the morale of the Tartars, although quite low, had not yet reached the point of collapse. They also had illusions that they could rely on the familiar terrain of Liaodong to counter the attack of the Tiger Ben army. However, after this harsh winter, the morale of the Tartars, further depressed, eventually collapsed.
In the summer, there was the onslaught of the Tiger Army. In winter, there is God's punishment. On days like this, just think about it, and the Tartars will collapse. The high-level of the Dajin Kingdom may be able to barely support it, but the ordinary Tartars below can no longer support it. It seems that all the men in Puda's house are dead, and there is no ability to continue fighting.
Such a situation is of course a good thing for the Tiger Army. The more the morale of the Tartars collapsed, the smoother the attack of the Tiger Ben Army. The Tiger Ben Army is now less than a thousand miles away from Liaoyang. In the plan to regain Shenyang next year, the possibility of realization is getting bigger and bigger.
Zhou Yanyu waved his hand and let a team take Puda down. It is conceivable that this Puda's Xing life should be fine, but it is certain that he will suffer from some Pi Rou. If he didn't seem to be a child, most of the Tiger Ben soldiers had compassion, otherwise, he would have been dismantled.
……
After resting for two days at the deep well pier, the troops continued to attack and advance in the direction of Yulinpu. On the way to the march, they were also harassed by the Tartar cavalry. Both day and night, sporadic Tatar cavalry appeared. The sentinels of the Tiger Ben Army had to fire their guns from time to time, making the gunshots sound constantly all day long.
Fortunately, most of the Tiger Ben soldiers are used to this way of fighting. No matter how the Tartar cavalry attacked, except for the troops on combat duty, everyone else was asleep. The cavalry of the Tartars, just attacking Xingqing, wanted to really rush forward, but it was impossible, unless they wanted to find death themselves.
Three days later, the large army of the Tiger Ben Army arrived at Yulinpu and immediately launched an attack on Yulinpu. The defenders of Yulinpu naturally fought back resolutely, and the battle soon began. The entire front line of Yulinpu was filled with gunsmoke and gunfire.
The current strategy of the Tartars is to consume the strength of the Tiger Army as much as possible in each stronghold and block the attack of the Tiger Army as much as possible. However, they did not receive any reinforcements. Therefore, the only thing they can do is for the entire stronghold to be killed. Of course, they have another option, which is to surrender the Tiger Army.
Yue Tuo, who was stationed in Gaizhouwei, did not have much troops. After the distribution of so many forts, the mobile force is basically gone. Even if he knew that the strongholds around Gaizhouwei were being lost one by one, he was still lacking in skills.
The battle against Yulinpu was still in order and in an orderly manner. The cooperation between the Weizi battalion and the artillery battalion has been quite skillful, almost to the point of seamless connection. Zhang Zhun only watched the battle from behind, and did not personally command. Not necessarily. In a battle of this scale, Zhou Yanyu and Li Yang can handle them all.
According to intelligence, the defenders of Yulinpu are also more than 100 Tartars, 2,000 Han army flags, and 1,000 Korean servant troops. The only thing that's a little different is that there are a few more non-warrior Tartars here. To put it simply, it is the family of the Tartars. I don't know why, some of the Tartar family members are still staying in Yulinpu and have not retreated to Shenyang.
For these Tartars, the strategy of the Tiger Ben Army, of course, is to kill without mercy. Unless the other party puts down their arms, raises their hands, and takes the initiative to surrender. Obviously, the Tartars of Yulinpu did not do this. So, the only thing that awaits them is death.
"Boom"
After a loud bang, the fort gate of Yulinpu was also blown open.
"Rush"
"Kill"
The tidal wave of Tiger Ben soldiers poured into the city.
The battle in the city suddenly became white-hot. As the backbone of the resistance, the Tartars naturally fought back the most intensely. The Tiger Army's blow to them was also the most ferocious. It was about an hour before the sound of gunfire gradually died down. Subsequently, someone came to report that the battle in Yulinpu had basically ended. After a preliminary count, there were more than 300 people killed in the Tartars, both old and young, among them, there were twenty or thirty female Tartars.
The warriors of the Tiger Ben Army will never show mercy to these Tartars. Especially those warriors from Beizhili, they can't wait to pull up the dead Tartars again, and then kill them again. There is a lesson in the deep well pier, many Tiger Ben soldiers, are around the remnants of the Tartars. Once he appeared, he immediately stabbed him to death.
Along the way, Zhang Zhun saw a lot of Tartar corpses. A closer look at the corpses of those Tartars reveals that they have at least several bayonet cuts on their bodies, apparently killed by Minnie's bullets, and then refilled with many knives. The person who mended the knife may be too angry, and it is not enough to make up for it, and make up several cuts in a row. Of course, it is also possible that several angry warriors mended the knife at the same time.
But no one cut off the head of the Tartar, so that the body of the Tartar is still intact. The Tiger Ben Army no longer uses the method of calculating corpses to evaluate merits, otherwise, the level of Tartar would have been gone for a long time. Rao is like this, there are still many Tartar levels, which have been cut off by random knives. There is no surest way to die than a corpse.
"Restructuring the troops"
"Preparing to attack Gaizhouwei"
After taking down Yulinpu, Zhang Zhun said quietly.
After Yulinpu, it is Gaizhou Wei.
Yue Tuo, right there.
