316 Hussar General
PS: Thank you rabit2011 for your support, thank you Amuhui for the monthly pass!
The team walked in the dark, although it was late at night, but everyone seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and they were extraordinarily energetic.
Hu Guang let the war horse under his crotch run in small steps, and took care of today's things before and after.
At present, the strength of the Heavenly Army is not known to outsiders, so it can be said that among the low-level herdsmen, there may be exaggerated rumors, but in the eyes of the grassland nobles with a little experience, it is nothing, and it is simply a negligible existence.
Which tribe isn't a few thousand people bigger? Lin Dan Khan was able to gather tens of thousands of horses. In this grassland where the weak eat the strong, if there are fewer people, they will only be swallowed by people, and there will be no slag.
called the Heavenly Army, as well as the old and weak women and children, hid in the ravine and probably drilled into it, for fear of exposing their bodies and being eaten by the steppe wolves.
Hu Guang is actually very welcome to this situation, the strength of the Heavenly Army is indeed not strong enough, and it is the time to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. One day, it's really famous, and it's strong enough. Other forces will seriously consider the existence of the Heavenly Army, and will no longer be careless, let alone ignore the Heavenly Army.
It's a pity, it's a pity, if the strength of the Heavenly Army is strong enough tonight, there is a regular army of 2,000, taking advantage of the Han people who are good at attacking cities, especially the advantage that the Heavenly Army is also good at firearms, it is not possible to behead tonight, and directly arrest Lin Dan Khan.
Thinking of this, Hu Guang couldn't help but sigh. The strength of the Heavenly Army is not yet strong, and you still need to work hard!
Sun Yunxuan, who was following on the side, kept talking with Zhang Zhaodi about the power of his conscienceless cannon, chatting about the fate of the city head Ezhe. Hu Guang sighed, but he immediately heard it, immediately turned his head, and asked in a little surprise: "Chief, we have won a big battle." What are you sighing for? ”
"I'm thinking, the characteristics of the grassland people, if there is accurate information, there can really be a wolf Juxu of the Western Han Hussar General Huo Quai!" Hu Guang spoke, with a trace of respect and a hint of yearning.
Sun Yunxuan listened. Forgetting to show off in front of Zhang Zhaodi, he asked puzzledly: "Chief, what are the characteristics of the grassland people?" ”
As long as the Han people, especially the Han people who suffered from the nomads in the border passes, they all know the hussar general, and his legend has always been circulated, like the summer sun.
When Zhang Zhaodi heard this, he also urged the war horse and moved a little closer to Hu Guang. Listen with interest.
There were no Mongols around, and Hu Guang happened to be in a good mood, so he explained to them: "The biggest characteristic of the steppe people is that they have no fixed place and live with the grass. They needed to graze, and naturally it was impossible to have a large army to protect their Khan from time to time. And there is no wall to protect it, so as long as there is accurate information......"
"You can avoid the nomadic tribes on the periphery, and an elite army will directly attack the royal court, and it will definitely be able to hit them hard!" Sun Yunxuan understood when he heard this. couldn't help but speak out and took Hu Guang's words.
Hu Guang nodded. I still appreciate this Sun Yunxuan's cleverness, and he commented: "Exactly, but this elite must be able to defeat the standing cavalry army where Wang Ting is located with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, in order to succeed in one blow, otherwise it is likely that stealing chickens will not be successful, and then the whole army will be wiped out in their counterattack." ”
"Ahh I know, if the strength of our Heavenly Army is strong enough today, we can capture Lin Dan Khan with one blow! Sun Yunxuan reacted immediately, and immediately said loudly with regret.
Hu Guang nodded when he heard this, and did not speak again. Zhang Zhaodi, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between the two of them. praised enviously: "Brother Sun, you are so smart, I didn't even think of what the chief meant, you just said it!" ”
Sun Yunxuan was very helpful when he heard this, and when he saw that Hu Guang didn't look at them, he turned his head and said to Zhang Zhaodi: "That's it, I'll tell you......"
At dawn the next day, Hu Guang called Sun Yunxuan, who had rested for less than an hour, to come over and said: "Your artillery company will go back to Yingzui Gou first to assist the commander of the Ulan regiment in stabilizing the situation in the base area, and inform them that although there is a high probability that there will be no danger on the eastern front, it is still necessary to speed up the transportation in case of accidents." ”
When Sun Yunxuan heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Chief, if our artillery company leaves, there will be fewer people here!" ”
"Then do you think that if Lin Dan Khan's army comes west, it will be useful to have more artillery batteries of you in the steppe?" Hu Guang immediately asked with a smile.
Seeing Sun Yunxuan's speechless appearance, he comforted again: "Lin Dan Khan should not lead the army to the west, and if he is bombarded by your conscienceless cannon, he will go to Man Gui to seek justice and go to Emperor Chongzhen to make a mistake." However, it may be that in order to guard against Bu Shitu, who is far away in the west, there should be a part of the army left near Naturalization City. There is no danger to us. ”
Hearing what Hu Guang said, Sun Yunxuan relieved his heart, took his artillery company, and said goodbye to Zhang Zhaodi and went back to Yingzuigou.
There is one thing that Hu Guang did not say, if Lin Dan Khan's people still want to go west, Zhang Zhaodi's battalion will have to take the risk of leading them to go around in circles. But Hu Guang believes that such a possibility is basically non-existent. After all, the eagle's beak ditch and the Naturalization City are almost more than a hundred miles away.
After a long wait, at noon the next day, Hu Guang finally received the news from the reconnaissance platoon, which made him drop the stone that was hanging in his heart to the ground.
It turned out that Lin Dan Khan usually sent people to use arrows to deliver orders to the tribes under him, and that night the fire transmission was the most urgent signal. Therefore, the tribes who saw the warning all rushed to the Naturalization City as soon as possible.
After dawn, tens of thousands of horses gathered in Guihua City, and by noon, the number had reached more than 20,000.
When they learned of the situation, they were all indignant and shouted for revenge when they heard the clan's expert tracker report that the enemy had fled back to the south.
Last year, the border army of the Ming State killed Gui Yingcha, the envoy sent by Lin Dan Khan to ask for the opening of the border city, when tens of thousands of horses killed Ben Datong, forcing the Ming Emperor to reopen the border city. It's only been less than a year, and this memory is gone, and you're begging for a beating? I didn't say it, hit it again, and by the way, grab something and come back to live.
Of course, there are also people who see that the Naturalization City is fine, and they remember the cattle and sheep in the clan, and they came to help in a panic, but they haven't arranged it yet, so why don't they go back and arrange the arrangements first.
There was a commotion under the city of Guihua until the next morning, when Lin Dan Khan led more than 20,000 cavalry troops and marched south.
Kang Quanan, the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon, has already led the team to follow, and will return after confirming that Lin Dan Khan will go to fight the Ming Kingdom.
Hu Guang's heart moved when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked the troops of Guihua City, and when he learned that there were thousands of men and horses grazing, he sighed when he was on guard and stayed behind, he was still on guard.
In fact, there was another impulse in his heart, which was to bypass the Naturalization City and go east. With so many people from the Chahar tribe gone, there will definitely not be many people grazing over there, and it is estimated that there will be a few tribes. (To be continued......)
