Chapter 18: The Destruction of the Sinful Barracks
The night of March was bitterly cold, a team with torches marched in silence, from a distance, this fire dragon lined up for more than a mile, Xiucai rode on a snow-white horse, behind him was a team of guards and the bannermen of the Chinese army, because it was not wartime, everyone threw their heavy armor onto the battalion trailer, wearing only coarse cotton clothes, but the fierce spirit of these people could not be concealed......
The sin military camp is not on the soldiers registered in the imperial court, Yang Bo simply let the criminal military camp garrison Jinzhou, on the one hand, it strengthens the defense of Jinzhou, on the other hand, it also saves the auditors from entanglement, after receiving the secret order of the adult, Xiucai did not dare to slack off, and rushed to the road with soldiers and horses, Lushun is only more than 150 miles away from Jinzhou, and the sin military camp marches for two days, and it is expected to arrive in Jinzhou at noon tomorrow. Because it is a normal transfer, and the Jinzhou area has been stable for a long time, Xiucai in order to make the march more flexible and simple, this time did not bring any auxiliaries and camping equipment, only a dozen trailers to accompany him, more than 1,200 people in the three companies of the sin camp are soldiers, and they brought enough fried rice dry food to support five days of eating, this kind of fried rice is a common dry food in the Ming Dynasty, and it will be carried with it every time the army marches, but these materials are not practical on the road, and the flour and dried meat carried on the body are enough to deal with a few meals. When they arrive in Golden State, the fried rice that these sergeants don't like to eat will be returned to the Logistics Department.
Xiucai's side is the military discipline officer Qiu Mutong, in his thirties, who joined the sin camp after pacifying the chessboard, the sin camp is the first in every war, and there are not many old bandits who have survived a hundred battles, and those who remain in the sin camp are the backbone, Qiu Moutong is a murderous person, and he has a face all day long after becoming a military discipline officer. As if everyone else was his father's killer, although Xiucai didn't like him, he was helpless, and the military discipline officers of each battalion were directly under the jurisdiction of Tie Niu, the Military Discipline Department of the Military Department. Xiucai couldn't control him at all.
Behind the two of them is the instructor Tan Xinghua, a little guy who talks a lot of nonsense, and he is still a disciple of Xiucai, of course, this is just Xiucai's wishful thinking, there are more teachers in the private school, and it is not Xiucai's turn to show off. However, talking about Xinghua is much more approachable, and he likes to talk to low-level soldiers when he has nothing to do.
Xiucai looked at the fire dragon that could not be seen at a glance. While looking down and thinking about his own thoughts......
The establishment of the camp was very complex, and there were two nominal chiefs, the calf and himself. However, in the actual battle, Yang Bo's orders often passed over himself and his calf and were sent to the veteran company commander and deputy commander of the old gunner of the sin barracks. The first to bear the brunt is the sin barracks.
After pacifying Phi Dao. The sin military camp has been supplemented with nearly 600 Dongjiang soldiers, and the number of soldiers has expanded to more than 1,200 people unprecedentedly. Will the adults let themselves be appointed as the chief officer of the "Iron Fist Brigade" after the restructuring?
Xiucai has no bottom in his heart......
Although the training time for recruits is not long. But when marching, it was divided into three teams in strict accordance with the requirements of the weekday queue, and the front of the Chinese army was a new company led by the calf as the forward, and the battalion sentry horses were assigned to the calves, and these sentry horses were scattered in front of the forward and on the left and right roads, and any abnormal news would be continuously reported, but due to the inconvenience of night detectives, the sentry horses were put a mile away.
Xiucai led the new second company plus the battalion's subordinate personnel such as the medical division, the baggage division, the transportation department and other units to form the Chinese army, behind the Chinese army, there is a veteran company led by the old artillery for the rear army, according to the military requirements of the Thunder Brigade, each battalion is marching in the field on weekdays is one team after another, in case the enemy is found in the process of marching, the head and tail are linked, you can quickly form a circle formation for self-protection, than the formation of a phalanx march is much more flexible.
"Where?" Xiucai's eyes swept over Qiu Mutong and asked Tan Xinghua behind him.
Tan Xinghua looked at the sky, and muttered a few words to the people around him before replying: "My lord, it's almost time to arrive at the earth and stone fort."
Xiucai was a little distracted, and it took a long time to react: "Huh? When you arrive at Tushi Fort, you can go to Golden State for dinner at noon today? ”
Tan Xinghua said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that Liu Dahu sent a letter saying that he killed a few sheep and waited for us, and drank a few sips of hot mutton soup in this weather, it was beautiful."
When they heard the food, the atmosphere around them became warm, and everyone began to talk and laugh loudly, and even the soldiers marching with torches became brisk......
Ten miles west of the official road in the south of Jinzhou City, Haoge exhaled a cold breath behind the mound, and said to Jialazhangjing behind him: "Let them take off their titles, and they all come down to rest for a while, to maintain their horsepower, and not to make loud noises."
The Jialazhangjing nodded and turned to leave, Hauge looked at the surrounding environment, this is a barren slope, surrounded by weeds, there is a small road in the ravine leading to the official road, on the night of March, all kinds of insects and birds on the barren mountain hiss, but some noise is masked, and occasionally some large animals can be seen frightened and run in a panic.
The army galloped all the way from Fuzhou, although the warriors in the banner were all one person, two horses or three horses, but the men and horses were extremely tired for two days, and they had to avoid the Ming army's outposts along the way, everyone was a little nervous, Haoge turned around and looked at the faint starlight, and there was heavy white gas everywhere.
Hauge held back the excitement in his heart, and recalled Khan Amma's combat intentions again, the sentry who explored the path had not returned, and he needed more information before he could make the next move......
At this moment, there was a sudden flash in the distance of the official road, and the anomaly was quickly discovered.
"Silence!"
"Silence, speak out!"
A few white tooth horns ordered in a low voice, and Hauge quietly instructed the guards: "Go to a few people to investigate, and don't show your whereabouts loudly!" ”
After a while, the sentry cavalry reported that it was a team of Ming troops who were rushing overnight, and it should be in the direction of Jinzhou, in fact, there was no need for the sentry cavalry to say more, Hao Ge and Zhong Zhangjing had already seen the long dragon-like torches......
Hauge was suddenly embarrassed, and the order Khan Ama gave him was to bypass Jinzhou, launch an extermination offensive against the tunpu that Yang Bo was building on the Jinzhou Isthmus, and use the advantage of cavalry to turn Yang Bo's rear upside down, but there was no order for him to confront the Ming army. Especially the Ming army of Yang Bo's department with fierce firearms!
"Master, what should I do? Do you want to wait for them to leave? A Mongolian Jialazhangjing asked secretly, and the white mist that spewed out carried the smell of cattle and sheep.
Hauge frowned. said: "Don't worry, let's see the situation first and then make a decision." ”
The sky began to slowly turn white, the speed of the Ming army was very fast, and the forward had already walked in just half an hour, and Hauge and others had a rough judgment on the current Ming army according to the return of the sentry cavalry.
"It's the Sin Barracks! They seem to be temporary transfers without much baggage. I didn't even bring anything artillery, my lord! Several of Jialazhangjing's faces began to grow excited.
Hauge nodded, holding back the excitement in his heart. There is no doubt that this Ming army did not think that there would be an ambush of the Eight Banners outside Jinzhou City, and they were already familiar with the sin camp, and the sin camp was mostly sword and shield soldiers. There is no fire gun at all!
"Hit! Be sure to hit! Hauge made up his mind: "Send the Sentinel to make contact." Let the yellow flag besiege Jinzhou, let's get ready to do it! ”
The Mongolian Zhang Jing added: "Let's let them go halfway, and then attack them in one fell swoop, the Ming army's formation will definitely be chaotic, but Yang Bo's Ming army should not scatter in all directions, but form a circle to stand and wait for reinforcements, so the minions estimate that we will trap them here."
Hauge nodded, "Not bad." Although the camp of sin will be formed, their spears will not be placed anywhere else. So I judge that they will not rush on both sides, plus the Ming army has no baggage, as long as our cavalry cuts off their connection with Jinzhou and Nanguan, next, it depends on when they collapse! ”
That Zhang Jing said again: "Why should the master trap them? If you open up the direction of Nanguan......"
Hauge was slightly stunned, then nodded with joy on his face.
On March 25, Yang Bo was having dinner with Yun Niang and Chen Bilian, when suddenly the whistle came to report, saying that Lushun Tieniu was in a hurry, Yang Bo didn't care, but he opened it and looked at it twice, his face suddenly turned snow-white, and the thin piece of paper quietly fell to the ground!
This change stunned everyone, and Chen Bilian asked a little inexplicably, "What's wrong?" ”
Yun Niang was clever, quickly picked up the emergency report on the ground, and suddenly said in a trembling voice: "How can this be?" ”
The urgent report was shockingly written: "Brother, the big thing is not good, the sin camp is in ambush twenty miles away from Jinzhou, and all of them are destroyed except for the chief officer Xiucai and the instructor Tan Xinghua!" Jinzhou was besieged, the Tatar slaves attacked very urgently, Nanguan He Jiubing did not dare to rescue, and I did not dare to send troops to rescue easily, you come back quickly......"
"Inform the ship, I will rush back to Lushun overnight" Yang Bo forcibly endured the fainting of his head and instructed Xiao Wudao
Yun Niang knew that the matter was very important, so she hurriedly put a fox fur coat on Yang Bo and said, "The matter has come to this, don't be anxious ...... Xianggong"
Yang Bo grabbed Yun Niang's hand and said with a dry smile: "I originally wanted to accompany you to relax, but now"
Yun Niang nodded and stared at Yang Bo and said, "The prime minister should put state affairs first, and Yun Niang will take care of it." ”
Chen Bilian muttered: "Wang Zao, that bastard thing, the girl went to chop him, and came back with his face!" ”
On March 28, Yang Bo rushed back to Lushun, and Tie Niu led everyone to greet him at the wharf, and there was a group of very imposing officials on the wharf, who seemed to be waiting for him.
"Lord Yang? General Yang? Huang Shiyun ran over while beckoning.
"Go and tell these adults that the Tatar slaves are besieging Jinzhou, and a large number of Tatar sentry horses have also been found in the direction of Lushun, if you are not afraid of death, follow me" Yang Bo said to Li Weiluan who ran over with a calm face
Li Weiluan was stunned for a moment, and quickly grabbed Huang Shiyun's sleeve, and several people stopped and began to discuss.
"How so?" Yang Bo asked as he walked.
"The slave chief emperor Taiji personally led two yellow flags to besiege Jinzhou, and the slave chief Haoge secretly bypassed Jinzhou, and the sin military camp received an order, which was originally to move to Jinzhou, but he didn't expect to ...... on the way" Tie Niu replied hesitantly.
"How is the situation in Jinzhou, can Liu Dahu withstand it?" Yang Bo asked anxiously
"Chieftain, Chief, Chiefis has withdrawn," Iron Bull replied
"What?"
Yang Bo suddenly paused and said sharply: "Have you already withdrawn?" What does Huang Taiji want to do? ”
Tie Niu shook his head, everyone behind him was confused, Wang Xiaoyu stepped forward and said: "According to the actions of Haoge's department, the General Staff Department judged it this way, the Tatar slaves used a strategy to attack the east and the west, Huang Taiji personally besieged Jinzhou, and secretly sent Haoge's light cavalry to burn and loot all the way, preparing to clear the tunpu settlement points everywhere in my place one by one, but I didn't expect that the sin military camp happened to crash into it......"
When he arrived at the Lushun Guerrilla Mansion, there was a lonely person kneeling outside the mansion, and Xiucai covered his face and fell to the ground, not daring to speak.
"What about the calves, what about the old cannons, what about them? What about people? Yang Bo pointed at Xiucai and asked in a trembling voice
Xiucai covered his face and just cried.
"You, you, you ......"
Yang Bo suddenly felt a moment of darkness, he trembled and pointed at Xiucai, "I told you again and again, again and again, your calf brother is reckless by nature, and he fights hard every time, I specially, specially arranged for you to come to the sin camp as the chief officer, you, you did a good job, good!" …… Are you trying to me off? ”
Yang Bo's voice suddenly stopped, and Tie Niu shouted in panic: "Brother? Brother? ”
"Master Bi, where is Master Bi?"
"Medic, find a medic! Adults fainted! ”
Xiucai raised his head in shock, but saw that the people around Yang Bo were already in a mess, all of them were running around in panic, and he could only see Yang Bo's two legs lying on the ground softly.
Xiucai cried loudly, kneeled forward and wanted to hug Yang Bo's legs, Tie Niu kicked him away, leaned down, several military men carried Yang Bo's body and carefully put it on Tie Niu's back, Tie Niu spread his legs and ran towards the military doctor.
I heard that Yang Bo fainted with great anger, and the whole army was shaken...... (To be continued......)
