One afternoon was not enough time for all the captives to land, but nearly 4,000 horses had to work for half a day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was already the morning of the second day when all the broken troops landed, although Zhang Keda was quite afraid of the Zhao family's father and son who were out of the nest and caught him off guard.

It's just that Zhao Lie's military order in his hand also made him unruly, but Du Si asked Zhao Lie to lead more than a thousand soldiers out of the battle, and he didn't say the upper limit, Zhao Lie can't say that there is a mistake, if you want to say that his mistake is that Zhao Lie should inform Zhang Ke to make a big sound.

But thinking of the extra 4,000 soldiers who can still be considered combatable, Zhang Keda acquiesced, he didn't think that these soldiers could be the same as the combat power of the soldiers led by Zhao Lieqing when he suppressed the Wenxiang Sect, he took a cursory look, these soldiers were very strong, although they were not armored, they were much stronger than other guards.

Because Zhao Lie caught him off guard, Zhang Keda didn't want Zhao Lie to feel better, so he ordered Zhao Lie to be the vanguard of the whole army and turn from the southern line through Gu'an and Zhuozhou to the Beijing Division.

Zhang Keda's plan is to come step by step, first to Gu'an, along the way to send more sentinels, to find out the whereabouts of the enemy, if the Jiannu brigade attack, in Gu'an and other places to hold the city, for the ferocity of Jiannu, he knows, but he can still do it with more than 10,000 soldiers under his command to stick to the city.

On the first day of December, after all the soldiers and horses of the Breakers disembarked, Muñoz, the captain of the Weiqing, landed from the ship.

"My lord, there is a Macao warship in the harbor." Muñoz reports.

"Well, what are they doing here?" Zhao Lie was very strange.

Muñoz spoke in detail, and Zhao Lie realized that the Hongyi cannon purchased by the Ming court from Macao a few years ago had made achievements in the defense of the city in the Liaodong battlefield.

Therefore. Last year, under the impetus of Xu Guangqi, a minister who believes in Catholicism, and others. An order was issued for the Governor of Liangguang to purchase cannons from Macao. In order to further open the door to commerce and trade in the Ming Dynasty, the Macau Council decided to present ten cannons to the Ming court.

In addition, some retired stragglers in Macao decided to form an army of dozens of people to assist the Ming Dynasty in fighting against the northern Jiannu, so a northward contingent of more than 100 people, including Chinese and foreign gunsmiths, guards, and missionaries, was formed.

However, the Ming court required them to travel by land, and the quickest shortcut should have been to reach Tianjin by sea and then enter Beijing.

The Ming court only allowed them to arrive by land, and the Macau people who wanted to ask for the Ming had to submit. In this way, in February of this year, the team passed through Guangzhou and began to march north.

Due to the underestimation of the vastness of the Ming Dynasty and the ruggedness of the road, the speed of travel was extremely slow, and the silver taels brought by them were insufficient, and if it were not for the donations of the Ming people who believed in Catholicism in Xuzhou, these people could only go to beg.

So in Xuzhou, they sent a messenger to hire a ship back to Macao for help, and in this way Macao sent a warship directly to Tianjin. Greet the team by land and head south.

More than a month ago, the warship arrived in Tianjin. The leading general who went to greet the ship with more than 20 Portuguese soldiers was Francisco, Zhao Lie's eldest brother.

They took the silver two and the artillery team to meet at Baoding, and sent people back to Tianjin more than half a month ago to Weitongxiao ships, and they were asked to rush to Beijing as soon as possible and use huge cannons to counter the Jiannu invasion.

Okay, Zhao Lie immediately cried and laughed, this is a bloody battlefield, at this time to the Beijing Division, only with these few hundred people, the Jiannu cavalry can kill them all in one charge, and the artillery has to become the capture of Jiannu.

Francisco is Alexandra's own brother, and their family is now left with two brothers and sisters, and Zhao Lie has to be rescued no matter what.

On the second day of December, more than 13,000 people of the Denglai army set out from Tianjin Wei and marched to the northwest, and Zhao Lie's department was the first to open the road.

Zhang Keda came to see him off, he came to advise, roughly to be cautious, and must not fall into the ambush of Jiannu.

His biggest gain on this trip was 4,000 armor soldiers, when the broken army began to march, if the first 1,000 armor cavalry and more than 2,000 war horses and 20 artillery pieces had opened his eyes, then the next 3,000 armor infantry team made Zhang Zongzhen completely killed, what is the situation.

These soldiers are all armoured soldiers, although their iron armor is special, neither fish scale armor nor chain mail or piercing armor, after all, it is iron armor.

How much silver money did the father and son of the Zhao family invest, Zhang Keda thought about it, without 300,000 taels of silver, it would never be possible to form an army, 300,000 taels, uh, the salary of the entire Denglai is only more than 300,000 taels, it is still on paper.

Zhang Keda was a little stimulated, and he didn't calm down for a long time.

When he found that the three infantry troops were all well-trained, neat, and quiet, and only the sound of sporadic armor and weapons colliding sounded, Zhang Ke was even more speechless, but this is not comparable to the guards, as for whether the Denglai soldiers can compete with the Jiannu army, then we have to see on the battlefield.

Zhang Keda was most puzzled that Zhao Lie's fire guns were too many, accounting for nearly half, but he knew that the guns were only bombarded once or twice before receiving the formation, and when Jiannu arrived close to the charging formation, the fire guns were useless, so many fire guns were useless, and when they were fighting, they only had the life of being slaughtered, and what was the use of the only waist knife in their hands.

Alas, in the end, in the end, he has not been in the northern battle formation, although he has a certain ambition, but his experience is too shallow, and he is still ambitious and talented.

Zhang Keda went back to rectify the team, and the other soldiers would keep a distance of thirty or forty miles behind Zhao Lie's headquarters, even if Zhao Lie's headquarters encountered an ambush or the impact of the Jiannu cavalry, the Denglai army headquarters still had a chance to respond.

Zhao Lie's troops walked ten miles to rest for a quarter of an hour, and traveled at a speed of more than forty miles throughout the day, which was not too physically exhausting, and maintained basic combat strength, just in case.

The speed at which they marched was not fast, and the Denglai army could not bear it. Isn't it a joke to march in the cold wind in winter, forty or fifty miles a day, they have not been trained for a long time, and it is a great fortune to march thirty miles a day.

As a result, after the first day of the march of the Denglai army, the team was already out of shape, and the guards of the rear team were walking sparsely, and it didn't work to talk about how Zhang Keda sent people to urge. Zhang Keda's war camp had no choice but to slow down and wait for the beggars behind.

After the first day, the distance between Zhao Lie's department and the back was stretched to more than 50 miles.

As the procession progressed, they began to encounter a large number of refugees, who were staggering in the cold wind with their families and mouths, most of them had become frightened birds, and the slightest wind and grass would make them a mess.

Seeing the soldiers with bright armor, most of them breathed a sigh of relief, although the Qiu Eight of the Ming Dynasty looted a lot, but it was better than the Jiannu who killed people when they saw them.

Refugees began to die on both sides of the road, mostly women, children, old and weak.

Looking at the cowering, frightened, and ragged refugees, Zhao Lie sighed, the Ming Dynasty is really a general, Gyeonggi is a heavy place to build slaves, and the people are dying everywhere, where is this Ming Gyeonggi, it is really hell on earth.

Zhao Lie ordered the soldiers to give some ready-made fried noodles to the old and weak, hardened their hearts and continued to move forward, and the current army was also too busy to take care of themselves.

There are a large number of Korqin Taiji, and there are not too many clan soldiers in each person's hands, but because of this, they are also the most obedient to Dajin.

The reason is that the upper echelons of Dajin found that the Ming army's combat strength was very weak, and it could gallop without the help of the foreign Mongols, and what did they do with these Mongols who could divide the spoils of war.

The Horqin tribes can accompany their masters to hunt in the Ming Dynasty's Gyeonggi and get some soup and water, the masters attacked around the Beijing division, and the troops were not enough, and ordered the Horqin tribes to go south and west to intercept the reinforcements from these two directions.

Riding on a brown horse, Hohba Ri looked back at the silent courtyard, looked at the main house with the door closed, urged the horse to go to the entrance of the village, and followed the horse obediently.

At the entrance of the village, Garu and Jida were picking up the packages behind the saddle bridge of their two horses, which were full of silver and jewelry, and the package behind the saddle bridge of Hohe Bari was also like this.

Soon, the package could not be loaded, and even the copper coins were abandoned by them, leaving only silver taels and gold and silver jewelry, anyway, when they returned to the grassland, as long as they had silver taels, they couldn't buy anything.

Huhe Bari glanced at their harvest, and saw that the blood stains on a few silver hairpins in Kalu's package had just dried and were still red, and he knew that he didn't know how many Ming women had suffered.

This Kalu said that it was a wild goose on the grassland, or a vulture, and when he saw a Ming woman, he wanted to be a scourge, and the woman was injured everywhere after the incident, and he was really a beast.

Hohe Ba Ri pursed his lips, although he said that he killed the man and a child in the courtyard, but he only played with the Ming women in the courtyard, and did not take their money, which is much stronger than Kalu.

"Jeddah, aren't Saub and Gedu out yet?" He turned to Jeddah.

"No, why don't you go back to the village and get some gold and silver." Jeddah was too busy to answer.

"No, my package won't fit." Hohe Bari shook his head, it was a pity that both of his horses were full, and they had already begun to affect the speed of the horses.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from the village, several horses galloped from the village, and two Mongols in cowhide robes rose and fell sideways with the horses.

"You're too late, don't forget the news that the head of Ilad is waiting for us to investigate." Garu shouted with a gloomy face.

"There's no way, Gedu asked a Han man to cut him in the shoulder, and I wrapped him in a cloth." Schaub replied.

They looked at Gedu, and sure enough, he was pale and a little wilted.

"Phew, I just fell in love with that girl, who knew that her man attacked me with a kitchen knife and asked me to cut down their whole family." Gdu grinned.

"Hmph, if I meet you, I'll castrate you with a saber." Jeddah, who had never dealt with him, scolded.

The two had a fight over cattle and sheep in the spring, and they still don't deal with each other.

"Okay, if you don't want to be whipped by the head, then hold on tight." Ho and Ba Ri shouted.

The two of them stupidly urged the horses to run. (To be continued.) )
