Chapter 229: The Wrath of the Royal Family
For Gu'an did not open the door, Zhao Lie did not take it to heart, the people were afraid of disasters like Qiu Ba in the Ming Dynasty, and who dared to open the door of the magistrate, lest the military disaster would come. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Lie just asked people to shout, whether there is an artillery team from Guangzhou passing by recently, and the answer is that no, the answer of the head snake Wang Yan is that if you go north from Baoding, then you will drive Zhuozhou from Dingxing County to the north, and enter Beijing through Liangxiang, and will not detour to Gu'an.
Zhao Lie knew that this was the case, but he just asked.
The army did not stop at Gu'an, and continued to march northwest, driving directly to Zhuozhou.
Jingnan Liangxiang, in the Han army camp, Fang Dongmen and Lu have guns standing at the gate of the village, and today they are ten people on duty, but their mood is not good.
Twenty or thirty steps away from the camp gate, several Jurchen masters were enjoying the Ming women, and the sound of the Ming women's cries and the lewd laughter of the Jurchens came from inside, which made the few Han soldiers standing ashamed.
Although now they are subordinate to the Jurchens, in the end they are still Han people, and now dozens of captive and beautiful Ming women are being ruined in front of them, and they are still on guard here, everyone is uncomfortable with fire in their hearts, but they are all people with families, of course, they dare not resist, and they have to take care of the captured livestock, Dingkou, and women in the future.
"There is a road, how much silver do you have now?" Fang Dongmen couldn't bear it, and he talked to Lu You beside him.
"Brother Fang, it's not too much, only five taels of silver." Lu You whispered in shame, they all followed the Jurchens to pick up the scattered silver taels, which were too scattered and abandoned by the Jurchens after looting, you must know that the gold and silver carried by the cavalry are limited in fine. The silver female real people who are too scattered are dismissive.
"I'm about the same. If Simon hadn't given me three taels of silver. Not as much as you. Fang Dongmen said.
"Seeing Han Lao Wu over there, he killed a businessman's family of six in Daxing last time, and robbed more than 80 taels of silver, which was really famous." The road has envy.
"They are all Han Chinese, and they can do it." Fang Dongmen stared in disbelief.
"Why can't you do it, Han Lao Wu is a ruthless person, and there are two people who are close to him, Erdan and Pang Village. They are all ruthless, Brother Fang, you see that they will kill and rob money when they have a chance. Lu Youyou whispered.
Well, Fang Dongmen looked at the stout Han Lao Wu standing at the other end of the camp gate, with a face full of flesh and fierce eyes, laughing and talking with a few people around him, completely ignoring the cries dozens of steps away.
Fang Dongmen sighed and obeyed, he still can't pass the level of Han people as slaves in his heart. But there is a well-dressed beast like Han Lao Wu.
In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a large force of cavalry galloped in from afar. Several people became nervous, and it was not until they came close that they saw that it was the banner of the Mongols, and they were also slaves of the Jurchens, but their status was much higher than theirs.
Several Mongol leaders entered the neighboring Jurchen village, but their images were embarrassed and their clothes and hats were crooked.
Jiale E's true love Xinjueluo. Tabai was looking at the few Mongols kneeling under the case crying and shouting, with disdain in his heart, his mother is such a person who has also conquered the Han people's rivers and mountains, Tabai pouted, very disdainful.
The gray-haired Jialezhang Jingwei Qi who sat on the side was kind words and persuasion, after all, he was following the orders of the Khan to go to the Ming Dynasty, and if he was not appeased after the fiasco, he was afraid of losing the hearts of the people of Horqin, and the Khan King would be displeased when he learned about it, knowing that they were loyal servants of Dajin.
Wei Qi peeked at Tabai, the sixth son of the former king came from a humble background, his mother was a concubine, and he himself was also empty of force and had no scheming.
Now Amin, who is the nephew of the first king, is already the position of Da Beile, and Tabai is still Jiale Zhangjing, and the emperor Taiji, who is not as old as him, is already the king of Khan, but Tabai is the son of the first king after all, and it is a good thing that he does not have too much scheming, at least the king of Khan is not wary of this lord, and he also ordered him to command 6,000 soldiers to garrison Liangxiang to guard the Ming army on the southern front.
Wei Qi saw Tabai's disdain, and sighed in his heart, it was better to be the eldest son Ekeqin who stood behind, although Ekeqin was only in his early twenties. However, the Khan put it here to assist this lord.
"Sixth master, today Horqin several Taiji 3,000 soldiers and horses were defeated by the Ming army, this Ming army can not be underestimated, at the moment the Khan King is leading the main force to besiege the Ming Jing Division, we must not let the Ming army reinforcements enter the Beijing Division, otherwise the Khan King is furious, I can't afford to wait." Wei Qi bowed and said. "The slave thinks that our army must defeat this Ming reinforcement."
Tabai looked at the people below arrogantly, "Tell me, where is the reinforcement of this Ming army, and how many people there are." ”
"Sixth master, the enemy army is the reinforcement of Daming Denglai, the number of five or six thousand, more than a thousand cavalry, and the rest are infantry." Uliji didn't dare to deceive and hurriedly reported it, but he still slightly exaggerated the number of the Ming army, otherwise it would be too shameless to lose.
"Well, calculate the time, the Denglai reinforcements are indeed coming, and the Denglai soldiers still have some combat power compared to the soldiers in the interior of the Ming Dynasty." Although Wei Qi was dissatisfied with the combat strength of the Horqin people in his heart, he still covered it up.
"Tsk, there are only thousands of Ming troops, and there are only more than a thousand cavalry, you will be defeated and return, tsk," although Tabai was rude, it was not stupid, and it saved a little face for a few people, although it was not much.
"Sixth master, this Ming army firearms are fierce, and there are dozens of cannons to help, and the vanguard of our army was seriously injured by its guns and artillery in front of the battle, and there is no battle at all." Batu cried.
"The firearms are fierce, tsk, the battle of Salhu, the battle of Liaoshen, which time the Ming army is not thousands of guns and hundreds of artillery, what is the result, it is not in ashes in front of my Dajin Iron Cavalry, and the so-called Ming generals have also been cut off their heads." Tabai glared at the bull's-eyed.
Wei Qi scolded on the side, as if you didn't charge forward any time.
"To engage with this kind of Ming army, is to rush into the enemy formation as soon as possible, and in close combat, the Ming army will collapse, and then it will be just slashed and killed, such Nikans are all cowards, once the hand-to-hand combat is mostly a battle and collapsed." Tabai reprimanded. "When this campaign is due, you wait to go out with the sixth master and see how the sixth master breaks the Ming army."
Zhongtaiji hurriedly thanked the sixth master.
An hour later, Fang Dongmen and Lu You and others saw the Jurchen master and the second Mongolian master marching south, while the Han army remained in the local area under the command of Bao Chengxian to guard the plundered livestock Dingkou, and more than 100 Jurchen cavalry were left behind.
Less than ten miles north of Zhuozhou, Nan Yong led more than 20 scouts to the north to inquire about Jiannu's brigade, and Lord Huang had already told him that Jiannu would definitely leave a large group of men and horses in southern Beijing to prevent the Ming army from aiding the Beijing division, so he had to find out the details as soon as possible. Just now, they had already encountered three Jiannu sentinels, but after the battle, the three Jiannu were all killed on the spot.
Nan Yong used his binoculars to look at the dust raised more than a mile away, and the camera showed five or six Jiannu cavalry and a few spare war horses, who were trotting closer to Nan Yong's location.
"The brethren left these slaves behind." Nan Yong shouted, he also admired such a Jiannu scout, and a few people dared to attack the Ming army of dozens of people, showing that they would not take the Ming soldiers in their eyes.
The team of more than 20 people left two to guard the spare horses, and the rest of the soldiers urged the horses forward to meet them.
When the two sides were more than 100 paces apart, the Jiannu sentry probed his bow and arrows, and the scout of the Breaker Army drew the fire gun stuck in his belt.
On the back of a bumpy horse, Nan Yong aimed at a Jiannu wearing leather armor and a bow on the opposite side with a handcuff.
Seventy paces away, both sides fired almost at the same time, the captives did not receive three arrows at night, but there was a half-body iron armor protection, there was no major problem, only one person penetrated deeply, and was slightly injured, while the firing of twenty short guns knocked five of the six Jiannu off their horses, and two of the war horses fell to the ground, and the rest of the war horses neighed and ran away.
The remaining Jiannu hurriedly turned his horse and rushed to the side, but another twenty flint-haired short guns were fired, knocking him and his men and horses to the ground, and both men and horses were shot several times, and they died no longer in the air.
Several Ming soldiers dismounted and walked towards the fallen Jiannu, and the other scouts were reloaded.
"My lord, there are two more alive here." Yuan Gang shouted.
"Lu Houcai, Bagen, I want to know how far the Jiannu Brigade is from me." Nan Yong commanded while loading a bullet.
Lu Houcai and Bagen smiled evilly, dismounted and drew their long knives, and walked towards the two live mouths that fell to the ground.
Nan Yong inserted the ammunition into his belt, took out a handful of black beans from the leather bag, and brought them to the mount's mouth, and the brown stone island horse used his hot and wet tongue to roll the beans into his mouth.
A miserable howl that is not like a human voice, you don't need to look at it to know, it must be a Jiannu who has lost his hand or foot, Shidao Ma stirred uneasily, Nan Yong strangled the reins with one hand, and gently patted the horse's neck with one hand to comfort the war horse.
Lu Houcai's family and newly married daughter-in-law all died at the hands of Jiannu, and Bagen was similar, these two people have always been interested in torturing Jiannu, and they are also the torture masters in the team.
Nan Yong touched the sweaty back of the stone island horse, pulled out the handcuff and riding spear, and placed it on the spare Mongolian horse, it was time to change the mount.
There were a few more howls, and he calmed down.
Lu Houcai walked closer, and reported after the military salute, "My lord, they are the subordinates of the sixth son of the dead old pigskin, with more than 2,000 Jiannu cavalry and more than 2,000 Mongolians, who are looking for our army to avenge the defeat of the northern captives the day before yesterday." ”
"Well, good job, but don't always be so bloody." Nan said bravely.
"My lord, this is for fear of frightening my lord, otherwise, the two of us can let them live one more day." Lu Houcai replied with a smile.
"Damn, let them wail all day long, and it's better to live than to die." Nan Yong couldn't laugh and cry a little bit of Lu Houcai.
"Hehe, my lord, I don't know how many Ming people have been harmed by this kind of Jiannu, and I will cheapen them by dealing with them like this, that is, we should execute them and let them wail for seven days and seven nights." Lu Houcai is colorful.
"Go, go, do this and stay away from me, so that my ears will suffer less." Nan Yong waved his hand.
After a while, the two horses galloped to the next mile without closing the night, bringing Zhao Lie the news that the Jiannu brigade was only thirty miles away.
At this time, the Broken Army Brigade was only less than ten miles away from Zhuozhou. (To be continued.) )
