Chapter 19: The Withdrawal of the Tartars (Ask for Collection..... )
In the time of incense, all 25 Manchurian warriors were killed, including a brave and skilled Swing Tooth Lama and two ironclad soldiers.
Hearing the news, Tartar Niu Lu Zhangjing's face was quickly covered with unprecedented shock.
Just now, when the entire Niu Lu entered the mountain, the Tatar Niu Lu Zhang Jing had not yet taken Wei Zheng and the Tiger and Leopard Army under the command of Wei Zheng in his eyes.
Although more than a dozen Manchurian warriors stationed at Mushroom Valley died at the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army, Niu Lu Zhangjing did not know how these people died.
In Zhang Jing's eyes, even if the Tiger and Leopard Army can eat the fifteen warriors under his command, it is still through various conspiracies and achieve the goal step by step, while his opponent, the Tiger and Par Army, does not have too strong combat effectiveness.
At that time, as soon as the warriors led by themselves arrived, the Han bandits who attacked Mushroom Valley would collapse without a fight.
However, the result in front of him was like a loud slap that directly woke him up from his dream.
The Han bandits he underestimated did not seem to be as simple as he imagined, otherwise, it would be impossible for this bandit to completely annihilate 25 powerful Manchurian warriors in just one stick of incense.
You must know that on the frontal battlefield, the twenty-five Manchurian Tatars will not be completely wiped out in such a short period of time, even if they face ten times the number of elites of the Ming army.
The result in front of him directly means that the opponent he is about to face is already the elite of the Ming army with more than 250 people in combat effectiveness.
For a Manchurian warrior who is a bull to himself, such an opponent is nothing.
However, if the opponent has the courage to fight a decisive battle with him, even if he wins in the end, the whole Niu Lu will pay a great price for it.
Therefore, in the face of the twenty-five corpses of warriors who had been stripped to perfection, Tartar Niu Lu Zhangjing began to hesitate......
Whether to continue the offensive according to the original plan and move forward regardless of the qiē. It is better to withdraw immediately, and after you have developed a more detailed battle plan, you can attack the opponent again.
Just then, a tooth swinger walked briskly.
After handing a letter to Niu Lu Zhangjing, he reported loudly, "General, this is a letter we found among the corpses of warriors... According to some of the warriors, this letter was left to you by our opponent 'Haw Par Army'..."
"The Haw Par Army... This group of Han bandits has changed their name to the Haw Par Army...."Receiving the envelope, Niu Lu Zhangjing asked.
"Yes, General... According to the report of some warriors who know Chinese: The envelope is written by Wei Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the Haw Par Army, that is, our opponent...," replied with a nod of his teeth.
Niu Lu Zhangjing's brows quickly furrowed, he tore open the envelope, and after seeing the Manchu characters, he waved his teeth in front of him and ordered: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, immediately find a warrior who can speak Chinese." I'm curious to know what else this Haw Par Army has to say to us after killing dozens of our warriors in a row. ”
Under the translation of his subordinates, the few words that Wei Zheng wanted to say were very clearly transmitted to Niu Lu Zhangjing's ears.
Under Wei Zheng's mocking coercion and intimidation, Niu Lu Zhangjing's face was immediately covered with a complex expression of grievance and anger. snatched the letterhead and tore it to shreds regardless of the image.
Then, still resentful, he directly pulled out his saber and vented his anger on a thigh-thick tree trunk beside him.
It wasn't until a gaping hole was cut in the trunk that the tooth swinger standing beside him spoke comfortingly: "Your Excellency, the Tiger and Leopard Army is simply too deceitful. In order to avenge the warriors who died in the battle, and for the honor of the Manchurian army, I will immediately send troops to smash the camp of the Tiger and Leopard Army and annihilate them..."
"Shut up..."
Hearing his subordinates' words, Niu Lu Zhangjing, who still had a trace of anger in his heart, subconsciously scolded loudly.
Then, he asked sharply at the swinging teeth, "Do you have a long brain..."
"Didn't you hear what the Haw Par Army said in the letter... If we attack now, not only will we not be able to recapture 100,000 catties of grain, but we will not even be able to destroy this tiger and leopard army that killed dozens of our warriors......"
He was stunned for a moment, and without fully understanding what Niu Lu Zhangjing meant, he asked with a shocked face: "General, are you going to give up attacking the Tiger and Leopard Army, and the revenge of the warriors who died in the battle will not be avenged..."
"Stupid...."
Niu Lu Zhangjing's angry scolding blurted out from his mouth again.
Seeing more and more swinging teeth and focusing their eyes on him, Niu Lu Zhangjing, who took a deep breath, said in his calmest tone as much as possible.
"Warriors, you've heard what the letterhead is about. I can say with certainty that we will not achieve anything in the march now except for a moment of bravery. ”
"Let's not forget, this is not a plain, but a mountain....if the Haw Par Army abandons the barracks and breaks through to the depths of the mountains, even if we are warriors who grew up on horseback, we will not be able to find them in the primeval forest and destroy them...."
"So, in order to avenge the warriors who died in battle, destroy the Haw Par Army, and reclaim the food that should have belonged to us. We must plan from above so that the Haw Par Army has nowhere to escape, and we will surround and suppress them in their barracks..."
In the face of twenty-five corpses and the threat of Wei Zheng, Tatar Niu Lu Zhangjing had to suspend the attack with humiliation, retreat to the mushroom valley military camp outside the mountain with his troops, and reformulate a new encirclement and suppression plan.
Compared with the low morale of the Tartars, the Haw Par Army barracks are in full swing.
Seeing the twenty-five majestic war horses brought back by the comrades-in-arms, seeing the iron armor and leather armor tied to the horses, and then seeing the weapons brought back by the comrades-in-arms, the entire military camp was boiling.
Wei Zheng, who was at the forefront, knew that now was the best time to make his subordinates no longer afraid of Tartars and boost the morale of his troops.
Wei Zheng, dressed in a brand-new iron armor, held a spear, accompanied by the crisp impact sound of the iron armor due to movement, strode to the training ground parade platform.
Taking a deep breath, he sank into his dantian and shouted in his loudest voice: "Brothers, soldiers." Now I have good news for you, the Manchurian Tartars who attacked us have withdrawn. ”
For these new recruits who have just joined the Haw Par Army, the withdrawal of the Tartars means that they will not die immediately, which means that they will no longer become Tartar captives for the time being, and live the life of a slave who is worse than death.
Therefore, after Wei Zheng's voice fell, even if they didn't even see the face of the Tartar, more than a hundred people still showed a look of surprise on their faces for the rest of their lives, and they couldn't help but let out a cheer.
Wei Zheng, who was wearing armor, held the gun in one hand, and after dancing a beautiful spear flower in front of him, he held the spear diagonally in his hand, and pointed the muzzle of the gun that emitted a cold light to the ground.
More than a hundred boiling subordinates instantly quieted down because of Wei Zheng's chic action.
When a pair of eyes quickly converged on him, Wei Zheng shouted loudly again: "Soldiers, I also want to tell you good news. In the sortie of just under two hours, we again wiped out 25 and Manchurian Tartars. The horses and weapons and armor you see are the ones we have just captured from the Tartars. ”
"Here, what I want to tell you is that as long as you train your soldiers well and practice the seemingly simple spear skills in your hands, the Tartars have nothing to fear."
"In front of our spear array, no matter how powerful the Tartar is, it will be pierced into a hole by our spear."
"Therefore, from now on, everyone must train well, strive to reach the goal as soon as possible, and go to the battlefield to kill the Tartars......"
"Last one, in order to celebrate the first victory of our Haw Par Army since its establishment, all the soldiers will have a meal at noon today, and all the soldiers participating in the battle will add half a pheasant to each person......"
"Hooray...... Long live the general...... Swore allegiance to the general...... Long live the general......"
Under the guidance of Wang Feng and Zhao Yun at the same time, deafening cheers quickly sounded in the training ground.
