Chapter 103: Destroying the Country

On the third day, when the sky was bright, the sentry cavalry in Yili finally discovered the traces of the Ming army, Xia Dade took an arc, and deliberately covered his whereabouts. However, this is not difficult for the nomads, because no matter how much the army tries to cover up, it will still leave clues.

If you don't have the ability to trace it, then you won't be able to find your flock of sheep and horses. Therefore, the ability of people to eat is applied to the pursuit of the Ming army, which can be said to be killing chickens with a knife, which also makes Xia Dade's escape more real.

However, even so, Xia Dade's hidden whereabouts and change of route still gave Yili a lot of trouble to the army, so it was only on the third day that he caught up with Xia Dade.

Xia Dade's army was resting in place, and Yili began to slowly trot up and down. Thousands of troops passed by, the earth couldn't help but tremble, and soon the Ming army found something, the shouts sounded, and the Ming soldiers hurriedly turned over and got on their horses. Yili began to speed up the chasing men, whipping the horses with a rough laugh, because in their opinion, the lame movement of the Ming army turning over and getting on the horses was destined to be ineffective, and they were as weak as sheep in front of the great warriors of Yili. I can't imagine how such an army could have captured the city of Yili, perhaps because the cowards in the city were cowardly, or maybe this was Allah's punishment.

Mar galloped wildly, and suddenly the horses in the front row lost their front hooves at the same time, and fell to the ground, and the knights on horseback were also overturned, and the back did not have time to rein in their horses and still rushed forward with their own compatriots, and suddenly those warriors were trampled into pulp by their own men before they could fight the enemy.

But the horses behind it were like repeated marks. Repeating the scene of the knights in front of him, hundreds of cavalrymen in two rows, three rows, and four rows fell to the ground, and they also tried their best to throw the army into chaos. How can the civil engineering craftsmanship of the Han people be imagined by this group of red fans. If you talk about archery on horseback. The physical fitness may not be as good as that of the Han people, but in the eyes of the Han people, such a series of small traps are just as simple as playing with mud.

The soldiers of Yili also know very well that in the geologically changeable desert, it is not easy to make such traps continuously, and the quicksand will collapse the trap at any time, so the length of the trap is limited. If you stop now. Then the people in front died in vain, so they did not restrain their horses but rushed towards the Ming army even more frantically. A patch of thistle terrestris under the floating soil had a slight effect on the horses, but the number was too small. It slowed down the speed of the cavalry and caused some casualties, but it was basically negligible.

Suddenly, the group of soldiers who were running for their lives stopped, and then dragged the exposed stones with their horses, and the boulders on the ground were separated from them by the horses' vigorous drag. More than a dozen strange-shaped carriages appeared. The Ming soldiers hurriedly opened and untied the ropes. Blindfolded the horse's eyes and tied a string of things to the horse's tail.

After a crackling sound, the horses were startled, and thousands of horses pursued the soldiers. In the sunlight, something seemed to reflect the light on the horse's head and buttocks, and a sharp spear was tied to the Desheng hook. The soldiers in Yili were worried, this group of cunning Han people actually tried to disperse their cavalry team with frightened horses, and the reflection on the horse's head was needless to say, it was a blade.

Blindfolded horses are fearless. The direction is even more unknown, and there are crackling and exploding firecrackers in the back. Not to mention that there is a Yili army in front, even if there is a mountain in front, they dare to collide. But these difficulties were not overcome by the Yili people, who had grown up on horseback, and they quickly separated some of them, lassoed the horses with ropes, and guided the horses in the direction of the herd, and the results worked immediately. Just as the horses were on the side of the cavalry, there was a sudden violent explosion, and from the package on the horse's back flew out iron sand, iron thistles, broken stones, bricks, and tiles, etc., and for a while, the chasing soldiers suffered heavy casualties and the formation was chaotic again.

It turned out that after Xia Dade was blocked on the road in the attack, he decided to let the troops guarding the baggage carry the baggage and stop here, and those so-called baggage, except for some grain and grass, were all firearms and chariots invented by Lu Bing's think tanks according to his prompts.

The so-called chariot was improved from the transport vehicle invented by Lu Bing, which was designed for long-distance transportation of food preservation and coping with various terrains, and the prototype was the tank car that Lu Bing knew before he crossed over. Due to the limited knowledge and craftsmanship, the tiger is not an anti-dog, but there is armor on the outside and wheels underneath, just like an armored car.

Now it is used on the battlefield, the soldiers hide in it, move on foot, so as to drive the wheels, there are several observation holes with iron fences, the whole body is made of iron sheets, if it is a divine weapon, it can naturally cut in, but the ordinary blade can not do anything. At this time, it was precisely when more than ten such vehicles were slowly coming towards the Yili Army, and when Yili put the Li Army in order, these "armored vehicles" had already driven in front of them, and they could not shoot through the arrows with their swords, but were injured by the bows and arrows and the spears that were outstretched from them, and the soldiers were defeated for a while.

In fact, such armored vehicles are not invincible, first of all, because such vehicles are driven by many people on foot, so their mobility is extremely poor and their movements are very slow. Secondly, the wheels on both sides can only be deployed in a relatively flat place, and if they encounter muddy or sandy ground, they will not be able to move. It's just that in such a face-to-face battle with gongs and drums, and it is on such a special hard sand and gravel ground carefully selected by Xia Dade now, the power of armored vehicles is revealed.

Therefore, these treasures that no one wants are shining in Xia Dade's hands, and the sharp blade of the soldier lies in wisdom, and that's it.

In the distance, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the dusty Ming army was no worse than the red fan's riding skills, and the fierce look made the men in the northwest even more frightened. It is the elite cavalry of Cai Longyu's department, this group of Shandong men came up on horseback when they were making horses, and their riding skills were not bad, and they all had great abilities, and this group of unruly horse bandits were trained to change their equipment with good horses, and their combat effectiveness was not improved by one or two grades. In addition, everyone in Shandong is tall and big, and they are not at a loss. Nature is more powerful.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Yili hurriedly retreated, and when he rushed back to rescue, he had exhausted his physical strength. When chasing Xia Dade, he relied on his enthusiasm and hatred, but now the hatred has been replaced by timidity, and the body can't bear it, and he was caught up before he ran far, so a one-sided slaughter began.

In May of the tenth year of Jiajing, he also tried to wipe out the last iron cavalry army in the territory of Li, except for the army fighting in Yarkand. Yili can no longer find any formed team. At the end of May, he also tried to destroy the country.

—————————————————————————————————————

After six months at sea, Shen Yew's skin has been sunburned a very healthy wheat color. She was wrapped in a fuchsia turban and wore a silk shirt, which was quite Western-style. This outfit was captured, compared to those puffy skirt women's dresses. Shen Yew prefers this men's outfit. It's a pity that there are too few new clothes, and the rest are coaxed by the smell of those stinky men to see the original color, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is a style, you can make a few sets after returning to the Ming Dynasty.

It turned out that more than half a month ago, a group of Hongyi met Shen Yew's sentinel boat at sea, and the sentinel boat was patrolling the nearby sea area, exploring the unknown island roundabout in the vast sea as a marker. At this time, I came across two Hongyi ships. Fighting broke out on both sides, and artillery shelling did not give in to each other. The sentinel ship was originally a light express ship, and it was equipped with fewer firearms and fewer personnel, so it could not compete with the Hongyi ship with strong ships and guns.

The sentinel ship hurriedly fled, but was hit by the guns fired by the two swinging Hongyi ships, and the flagpole and side of the ship were damaged, and the tail was also hit, causing the direction and power of the ship to be affected. A dinghy snuck away in the smoke of the return fire, and the rest resisted.

The Ming troops, who were fighting desperately, could not stop this difference in strength, and were chased by the enemy and boarded, and then captured. Under the language barrier, this group of savage Hongyi killed many crew members, acting like pirates. Just as they were taking pleasure in killing, the fleet that stretched far into the sky arrived, and the laughter of the Hongyi people came to an abrupt end, and they heard the sound of themselves swallowing saliva, and their bodies trembled incessantly, and then they ran back to their ships with a strange scream, and hoisted the sails to escape for their lives.

Shen Yew's fleet can be described as an invincible fleet on the sea of this era, and its speed and firepower are unmatched by others, so the enemy immediately hoisted the white flag and surrendered. Shen Yeshan didn't have the kindness of a woman, she looked at the dead Ming army under her command, and ordered all the people on the ship to be killed to comfort the souls of the dead soldiers in the sky.

Killing prisoners is a taboo in land warfare, not only as being despised as inhumane, but rather barbaric than benevolent, and provoking more fierce resistance from the enemy. After killing the prisoners, the enemy will first be afraid, and then angry, because fear is anger to the extreme, since surrender is also death, it is better to fight to the end with a knife to stretch out and shrink your head. Surrendering without a fight is the highest level, and all generals still wish that the enemy would surrender without fighting. Therefore, no matter how fierce the troops fought and how brutal their combat methods were, they rarely killed prisoners.

Xia Dade entered Yili to rush into the city, although he spared the old and young women and children, but he also slaughtered the city, but at that time, because Yili did not surrender and entered the city, he stormed the city and killed him.

But there are other rules on the sea, in the vast sea, except for their own soldiers, no one else sees Zhilu Dao, and nothing can reach the ears of others, looking at the killed sentinel ship Ming army, most people are indignant, in this case, naturally how to relieve anger and how to come, in order to appease the army.

Shen Yew left these two foreign ships into the fleet, in parallel, these two ships and the Ming ship have their own merits, the speed is not slow, the quality is also very good, and the design is quite ingenious, Shen Yew wants to study these two ships carefully.

Shen Yew, the old and young women and children who put it on, did not let go, as the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, and both wealth and soldiers need to be ruthless, Shen Yew did this, using children as slaves and rewarding women to soldiers. So the soldiers who were born in the rough people loved this commander even more, and the little doubts in their hearts were also diluted by this joy, and thus disappeared, after all, most of the soldiers did not know the layout of the battle situation in the road and could not know the way of the road, this is a military secret, and in their opinion, it is the decision of the imperial court to go east all the time.

The boat continued to sail towards the east, and Shen Yeshan looked at the east and clenched his fists: I'm sorry Lu Bing, I'm sorry Qingfeng, I have to do this for the sake of the Shen family. A wild continent appeared in front of Shen Yew's eyes, where there were endless silver mines, tropical jungles, and desolate plains. The savage natives and the equally ferocious red-fans with firearms and swords occupy the continent and control the vast wealth.

Come on, the two races of color hair and white skin, red skin and black hair, the Shen family is here, and the Shen family wants to take over the wealth of this continent, reach incomparable heights, and achieve their own empire! Everything is providential. (To be continued......)
