Chapter 370: Beacon Yangzhou Road (I)
Three more than 10,000 words, ask for a monthly pass incentive!
After fighting the Da Ling River, Hu Erha, who returned to Xuzhou again, was already much more obedient, although until the last time, he still did not find the Erhe who had slaughtered their village, and he was also unable to kill the culprit Huang Taiji, but this young wild Jurchen leader had hope, he knew that as long as he followed Song Qing, he would be able to avenge the village sooner or later, and when he came back from the Da Ling River, he also got another news, the East China Sea Jurchen had completely surrendered.
This news is when he heard the enemy in the battle those of the same clan said, when Huang Taiji withdrew, there were about 20 of the same clan stayed, joined their team in the Han people, in the view of those very traditional East China Sea Jurchens, Huang Taiji and the Han people are not much different, and they are not all the way, the reason why they joined the Jianzhou Department, is because of the very primitive strong awe, but there are also people like Huerha who want to take revenge, and the most Lu was brought back to Xuzhou together.
Huerha's cavalry and archery team has also increased to almost eighty people, which is the most powerful guerrilla sentinel under Song Qing's command, and these people are really hard at fighting, whether it is fighting Huang Taiji, or later Shandong to quell the rebellion, they all undertake very dangerous tasks, but no one has ever complained, Song Qing once knocked on the side to inquire about the reason, and the answer he got was that Song Qing ate well here, and no one looked down on them, no one regarded them as savages, and it was very comfortable to stay in Xuzhou, so they wanted to fight well.
Such a simple concept is really rare, Song Qing was also very surprised by this, and after being surprised, he equipped this group with a set of good equipment, and the bows and arrows were rebuilt by the people from the blacksmith battalion, and the hunter team of Huerha became more and more powerful, and the role remained the same, every time as a pioneer in a raid or a lead.
Song Qing once thought about expanding. Let this team gradually increase, but then found that it was impossible to do it in a short period of time, the riding and archery skills of these people are similar to the Mongols, and the level of melee combat or cross-horse slashing and slashing people's heads is similar to that of the Zhenyi of the Jianzhou Department, basically combining the advantages of the Manchu and Mongolian races in combat, and the national characteristics are too obvious, even if the elite people are selected from the Han people, it is not easy to cultivate, after all, people are trained from childhood. Even if it comes entirely from the survival instinct, it is too difficult for people in their teens and twenties to train from scratch, and the only possibility is those child soldiers, but it is at least a few years later.
This time, because they were going to attack those salt lords, Huerha's people, as the vanguard, naturally came out to do it together, and when they were about to rush to the opposite side, they had already begun to draw their bows and arrows. fired a volley at the undisciplined Jianghu people under Xu Jin, and when he was about to reach the place, he immediately turned his horse's head, and advanced at high speed to the other side with great ease, giving up the place in front of him to the three hundred cavalry team rushing behind. Divide into two lanes and run to the left and right to continue wandering and shooting, reducing the pressure on the lancers.
The benefits of this are obvious, and there are about thirty people on each side. And they are all sharp bows and horses, and the splashes behind them didn't react at all, and dozens of people have been killed by bows and arrows. The others either held their heads and shouted on the ground, or spread out and retreated to the back, the already somewhat chaotic team completely became a hodgepodge of vegetable markets, Xu Jin was originally standing in the center of the team, and was suddenly stunned by this rain of arrows, and turned to the back under the protection of several cronies.
But this didn't do much, Luo Xiaobei quickly rushed over with the cavalry team, and on the way, those splashes who had already been scared by the bow and arrow did not dare to stop at all, and the small and medium-sized salt lords under Xu Jin planned to resist, but the waist knives in their hands could not compete with the lancers who rode horses at high speed, and soon a big hole was torn open, and the people around them also flashed to both sides, and it didn't take long for the horse team to rush to the core.
Xu Jin really panicked this time, he didn't think that the other party could have such a strong strength, and he didn't expect that the force he was usually proud of was not vulnerable in front of others, looking at the lancers who had rushed to the front, he subconsciously raised the knife, but then the blood that burst out of his neck made all his actions in vain, until the moment he fell to the ground, he didn't really understand what was going on here, and the territory he had been operating for many years was so defeated.
Easily and comfortably kill the biggest salt lord in the entire Huai'an Mansion, and even the strongest Jianghu figure, Song Qing did not have the slightest excitement, in his opinion, this is normal, Huai'an Mansion is probably because of the farthest distance from Nanjing, the government is relatively little involved in these things, and the power of Yang Guan is not so great, otherwise he would not have supported Yang Fang to be the commander of Pizhou Wei at the beginning, and he just sent his family over directly, so this side is actually the weakest place for the opponent's power, since there are no officers and soldiers in secret, It's much simpler to deal with those pure Jianghu characters, relying on his elite soldiers to fight each other, it's simply a knife to kill chickens, and it's normal to win.
Yangzhou is estimated to be not so easy, after all, it is next to Nanjing, Yangzhou is much richer than Huai'an Mansion, that Yang Steward is estimated to be more concerned, the most important thing is that the other party should also get the news now, the possibility of a sneak attack has been minimized, although the other party's strength is there, it is definitely not their opponent, but the difficulty has risen after all, but Song Qing is very happy to rise to this extent, he is afraid that the other party's resistance is too weak, so that he can win without much effort, so not only is it not interesting, can't cause much shock to the people in those places, but in the future, he will have to spend time and strength to calm down one by one.
After a day's rest in the south of Huai'an Mansion, except for the more than 300 people who stayed behind to occupy the newly occupied territory, most of the remaining 2,000 people have driven into Yangzhou from all over the place, almost at the same time, Yangzhou is like a great enemy, a few days ago by Li Sanlang's cavalry team, has left a great psychological shadow on the Jianghu characters and officers and soldiers in Yangzhou, and now I heard that the other side has begun to retaliate in Huai'an Mansion, and no one dares to guarantee that the other party will not attack them, so they are all in a precarious psychological state.
Steward Yang's orders have been conveyed, at all costs to block Song Qing in Yangzhou, as long as the other party can be blocked, he is willing to give up part of the benefits, to the local indigenous forces and officers and soldiers, if it is replaced by the past, this good news is enough to stimulate the local forces to fight to the death, but now the opponent has been replaced by Song Qing, no one thinks it is so easy, it must be a good thing to make more money, but if this money is for them to exchange their lives, then it is necessary to think more.
Baoying is the first fortress-level area, and it is also the strongest will to resist at present, because Baoying from the government to the rivers and lakes, almost all participated in the battle to contain Song Qing not long ago, if the people in other places in Yangzhou are still lucky, they are not the slightest luck, everyone knows that the things that Song Qing did in Huai'an Mansion, as long as they are killed in Yangzhou, they will definitely find them, so the resistance is quite heavy, after all, they are all native to their hometown, and they have eaten here for generations.
Facts have proved that they guessed correctly, Song Qing's first battle was Baoying, and it was no longer the previous raid, but used a very grandiose method, sent people to send a war letter to the local leaders, and agreed to fight in the place where they left two days later.
It is worth mentioning that Cui Yong, who took the initiative to leave at the beginning, and a small number of thieves who also left because of their worship of Song Qing, all joined Song Qing's revenge team this time and became traitors in Baoying, but these traitors are very enviable now, and there are countless people who hesitated for a long time at that time, and finally chose to follow the army to hunt down Song Qing, and now they all regret it, and even many people entrusted their relationship to them, wanting them to help ask, can it be seen that their sins are not serious, Give them a chance to make meritorious contributions, after all, they have all experienced the strength of Song Qing's troops, and no one thinks that they can win.
That night, the team gathered in the north of Baoying has exceeded 1,000 people, but the bosses of all walks of life are still resting in the city, and send people to contact Gaoyou and the people from Yangzhou Mansion, and ask them to come over to deal with Song Qing together, but the people in those two places are still hesitating for the time being, after all, they have not hit their own territory, and no one knows what Song Qing's next plan is, in case people just want to take revenge on Baoying, if they run to help the fist, the final result is likely to be boring.
This kind of mentality is actually very normal, and it's not one or two people who think so, Yangzhou is not like Huai'an Mansion, there are only two or three people who are controlled by the general trend, because this side is too rich, so there are many people who compete, many people in addition to following Yang Guan, but also following other people, it's okay to help kill people before, but if you help block Song Qing's revenge now, then you have to think about it carefully, after all, this is not a responsibility that everyone is willing to bear, it is better to avoid it or to dodge, so as not to put your life into it.
The most important thing is that everyone has a very urgent expectation in their hearts, they all look forward to Steward Yang being able to negotiate with Song Qing as soon as possible, no matter what the result of the negotiation between the two sides is, it is better than such an endless vendetta, you must know that Lu Dao This is not only an errand to fill in people's lives, but also a great delay in doing business and making a fortune.
