More than ten miles southeast of Panjin City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A long time ago, the Tartars built a city here, and built a small earthen city here, although the earth city is small, but it has the same city gate, there are city walls, it is boxy, and the length and width are more than one mile.

This is the Tartars' grain and grass land, a large amount of grain and grass is being placed in the city, because it is not far from Panjin City, in the eyes of the Tartars, this is a big rear, although it is a grain and grass land, but the guard is not strict.

Because of the rain, there were not many Tartars on guard, and many Tartars were in the city, either roasting fires or sheltering from the rain, and the gates of the earth city were open, and only a few Tartars were standing guard.

"This damn weather has never stopped."

"Be careful when you get wet, it's not good to stand in there, it's not good to get sick."

“……”

Several Tartars were chatting while on duty at the gate, and the Tartars did not know that a cavalry team was coming from here.

This is exactly the cavalry sent by Zhang Feng, two or three thousand horsemen, galloping all the way, galloping for more than 100 miles, and they are almost close to here, and the Tartars have no idea what to do.

Maybe even Dolgon would not have thought that Zhang Feng was "so bold" that he actually sent a surprise army to attack his rear and set his sights on his grain and grass.

"Hurry up, everyone, hurry up, it's coming soon!"

Zhang Songwen, the commander of the cavalry of the Independent Brigade, took the lead, leading the front, galloping forward while shouting loudly backwards, ordering everyone to follow.

In the distance, Tucheng can already be seen.

The cavalry was very fast, and it didn't take long for everyone to arrive in front of the earth city, taking advantage of the stunned Tartar guarding the city gate, Zhang Songwen's saber was raised high, and he cut it down fiercely, and a Tartar head flew up with blood and flew out several meters away.

"Drive!"

Wang Songwen grabbed the horse's belly and was the first to rush through the city gate, and the soldiers followed one after another, entering the city quickly.

The Tartars never thought that there would be a cavalry here, and there were two or three thousand of them, and the Tartars were simply taken by surprise.

And everyone did not entangle too much with the Tartar at all, as soon as they rushed in, the goal was clear, the first time to ignite, and everyone was very well prepared, each person actually brought fire oil, poured fire oil on the grain and grass of the Tartar, and then the fire folded a little, and the fire burned.

Even if it rained, the wet wood was afraid of fierce fire, and soon, the fire in the city was soaring, the smoke was billowing out, and it was impossible to extinguish it.

"Withdraw!"

Wang Songwen was not entangled with the Tartars at all, clean and neat, as soon as the goal was achieved, he immediately commanded the retreat, the soldiers came quickly, the retreat was faster, and it didn't take long for everyone to retreat cleanly, leaving only a fiery earth city with thick smoke billowing into the sky.

………

Zhang Feng and Dolgon fought fiercely for several hours, killing more than 10,000 Tartars, and now, the two sides have retreated.

No, it should be said that Dolgon took the initiative to retreat, leaving more than 10,000 corpses of Tartars and retreating for one or twenty miles, Zhang Feng just did not pursue, at this time, the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded.

Zhang Feng also came to the battlefield accompanied by Wang Chaoyong and several other officers, and saw the chariots destroyed by the Tartars, Zhang Feng was very touched in his heart.

Hundreds of nearly a thousand chariots, although each chariot is a turtle shell, but this is not a real chariot in the end, nearly a hundred chariots are completely destroyed, and the soldiers in the chariots are either dead or wounded.

"Lord Commander, this damn heavy rain, if it weren't for the heavy rain, we wouldn't have needed these chariots at all."

Zhang Feng nodded and said slowly: "It seems that we want to make a musket that is not affected by the rain." ”

Black powder flintlock musket, affected by the weather is relatively large, Zhang Feng thought of smokeless gunpowder, **** and other things in his mind, also thought of copper shell bullets, and thought of the rear loading gun.

"Maybe, you can get these things out." Zhang Feng thought so in his heart.

The Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau has become large-scale and has a certain level of production, coupled with Zhang Feng's knowledge and technology, it may be possible.

Wang Chaoyong looked surprised, and said loudly: "Lord Commander, can you make a musket that is not affected by the rain?" That's great! ”

The person who hopes the most, the person who needs that kind of musket the most, must be Wang Chaoyong, the heavy rain just now, Wang Chaoyong almost pointed to the sky and scolded "thief God", Wang Chaoyong has long been thinking, if there is a kind of musket that is not affected by the rain, how good it would be!

Zhang Feng nodded, "After returning to Songjiang Mansion, I will think of a way to see if I can make it." ”

Wang Chaoyong immediately said happily: "Lord Commander, you must be able to do it, you will definitely be able to get it." ”

Not far away, a cavalry communications soldier rode a war horse, ran over quickly, dismounted in front of Zhang Feng, and said loudly: "Report!" ”

"Lord Commander, our cavalry has successfully completed the mission, and on the way back, all the grain and grass of the Tartars have been burned."

Zhang Feng said: "This time, I'll see how Dolgon will continue to fight!" ”

Wang Chaoyong laughed.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. It is about the importance of grain and grass to fight the war, without which Dolgon could not hold out for a few days and had to go back.

Not long after Zhang Feng got the message, Dolgon finally knew that his grain and grass had been burned to the ground.

Dolgon's heart was dripping with blood, which was enough food for a hundred thousand troops for at least two or three months, and forage for tens of thousands of horses for a month.

A Tartar general said sadly: "Master, what should we do? ”

Another Tartar general said with a crying voice: "Master, we want to take revenge, let me take the warriors to kill back." ”

Dolgon shook his head and said slowly, "Retreat, go back to Shengjing!" ”

The Tartars retreated one after another, leaving only some people in Panjin City.

Zhang Feng is also ready to go back, ready to go back to Songjiang Mansion, this time to Jinzhou, the purpose has been fully achieved, every soldier has gone through actual combat, and even some soldiers have experienced several major battles, such as the first infantry brigade, the soldiers of the independent brigade have experienced several major battles.

Zhang Feng ordered to pack up and prepare to return to Songjiang Mansion in batches, but the day after the battle, Zhang Feng received bad news.

"Lord Commander, some of our soldiers have fallen ill, and there is a tendency for more and more to fall ill." Wang Chaoyong came over to report with a solemn face.

At this time, Meng Mingzhao also entered the headquarters and said to Zhang Feng: "Son, the old man went to see some sick people, and the reason why he should be drenched in the rain." ”

It's the weather in March now, and the words of Jiangnan have naturally bloomed in spring and entered late spring, but the northeast is still a little cold, and the rain is cold, and yesterday's big battle has been raining, and many soldiers have been drenched in the rain.

In this Ming Dynasty, where medical conditions were very backward, a cold was a fatal thing, especially this large-scale cold.

Zhang Feng didn't want to see non-combat attrition, Zhang Feng became solemn and said to Meng Mingzhao: "Old Meng, is there a cure for this disease?" ”

Zhang Feng knew that Meng Mingzhao was an all-rounder, not only knew astronomy, geography, but also was proficient in medical skills, so Zhang Feng asked.

Sure enough, Meng Mingzhao did not disappoint Zhang Feng, Meng Mingzhao said: "Childe, there is a recipe here, you only need a few common medicinal materials, you send someone to find medicinal materials, and then boil them into a decoction, and everyone will be fine if they drink it." ”

After speaking, Meng Mingzhao brushed and prescribed a prescription, which was full of common Chinese medicinal materials, and there happened to be a pharmacy in the market town, so Zhang Feng sent someone to grab the medicine.

It is worthy of Meng Mingzhao, the prescription prescribed by Meng Mingzhao is very effective, grasp the medicine according to the prescription, boil the decoction, and the soldiers with a cold will quickly take effect after drinking it, and they will sweat all over their bodies, and they will get better immediately.

The decoction is very good and effective, but the problem is also here, the market town is not big, and there is only a small pharmacy, and all the medicinal materials in the pharmacy can not meet the needs, and the "supply" is far from meeting the "demand".

No, Wang Chaoyong personally found Zhang Feng, Wang Chaoyong said: "Lord General Soldier, Meng Lao's recipe really works, everyone can see immediate results after drinking the decoction, but ......"

Seeing Wang Chaoyong's hesitation, Zhang Feng immediately asked, "Is there not enough medicinal materials?" ”

Wang Chaoyong said: "Lord General Soldier, you are really like a god, the medicinal materials are indeed far from enough, the boiled decoction is only enough for two or three hundred people to drink, and our sick soldiers are at least more than a thousand. ”

A heavy rain fell, because the temperature has not completely risen, it is still relatively cold, so many soldiers are sick with colds, the number of people reached more than 1,000 people, in this backward medical level of the Ming Dynasty, a cold is also a big deal, and people will die if they have to do it.

Now it is 1,000 people, if it is not controlled, tomorrow it may be 2,000 people, and the day after tomorrow it may be 3 or 5,000 people, and it is very terrible to continue to develop like this.

Zhang Feng said: "This is indeed a problem, we must get enough medicinal materials so that our sick soldiers can drink the decoction." ”

Wang Chaoyong said: "Lord Commander, I know that there is a place where there must be medicinal herbs, but ......"

Zhang Fengdao: "Are you talking about Beacon Mountain?" ”

"Yes, it's Beacon Hill." Wang Chaoyong said: "Lord General Soldier, Bijia Mountain is not only the grain and grass of the Guanning Army in Jinzhou, but according to reliable information, there are many medicinal materials stored there. ”

In the war, some people will be injured, and medicinal materials will be used to treat the wounded, and it is not difficult to understand that there are a lot of medicinal materials stored in Beacon Mountain, and Meng Mingzhao's recipe is just a few common Chinese medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials there must be enough.

Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Then send someone to Beacon Mountain to get some medicinal herbs." ”

Wang Chaoyong was happy, since Zhang Feng had already made a decision, so Wang Chaoyong sent a cavalry battalion, hundreds of horsemen, and immediately marched towards Beacon Mountain.

Bijia Mountain is near the sea, one or twenty miles away from Jinzhou City, where a lot of grain and grass are stored, of course, there are also a lot of Guan Ning military handles, after all, grain and grass are important.

No, at the entrance of Beacon Hill, the hundreds of horsemen were stopped, and the leader seemed to be a Guanning army hundred, surnamed Qian, who was standing guard here with a group of people.

Qian Baihu shouted at the top of his voice: "Who is coming? ”
