Chapter 40: The Enemy Comes to Help
After being harassed all night, although he was very tired, Touno did not dare to delay no matter what, he urged his men to have breakfast as fast as he could, and with a pair of panda eyes, Touno continued to set off.
And Zhou Yuji did the same thing, he led his men to follow decisively, and soon after, he led his men to the northern end of the Jiannu army. The equally conscientious Kuslai also led people to start blocking, Zhou Yuji tried to carry out several attacks, Kuslai did not show any loopholes, and after Zhou Yuji's cavalry attacked several times to no avail, Kuslai became more and more confident in his defense.
The wind was getting stronger, and the already dark sky was getting darker and darker, as if it was covered with a thick layer of fog.
As it approached noon, the cold wind intensified, and then the snow particles fell in twos and threes, and the first snow of the winter came out of place.
"Father, I think it's better to rest for a while, it looks like it's going to snow, and it's too cold!" After a long time of fruitless attack, seeing that the weather was not strong, Zhou Huchen began to come up with suggestions:
"Then slow down and see how it goes!"
Regarding Zhou Hucheng's suggestion, Zhou Yuji obviously felt the same way, although the weather was too cold and not good for the enemy, it was also unfavorable for himself. Think about it, although Zhou Yuji was a little unwilling, but once the snow became heavier and heavier, the attack had to be terminated, Zhou Yuji was really unwilling to let Jiannu go like this, but unfortunately he had to temporarily truce in the current situation.
Zhou Huchen raised his head and turned his neck to look at the sky around him: "This snow shouldn't be too big, but it may rain for a long time, we may be able to continue to wait for the opportunity." β
The wind is still cold, and the snow particles flying sideways are getting denser and denser, blowing on the face is like a knife slashing, for the cavalry who rely on galloping to fight, such weather is very unfavorable, and the cold can be persistent, but at the same time, the snow particles will seriously affect the knight's vision, which is the main reason why Zhou Yuji wants to temporarily suspend the war.
"Follow up with the previous paragraph, and then rest." Zhou Yuji made a decision:
Only a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Yuji had to order a rest, because the snow particles that kept falling turned into a white-haired wind.
The white-haired wind is very easy to understand, that is, the wind blows snowflakes as fine as white hair, it flies up and down, pervasive, this kind of snow is not big, but it has a fatal point; A dozen steps away, you can't see anyone at all.
This kind of wind often blows for a long time, Zhou Yuji doesn't have to think about fighting anymore, and now that he has entered the rest time, he has to find a way to avoid the white-haired wind.
ββββββββ
After one night, the wind stopped and the snow stopped, the earth was covered in silver, and the sun was lazily exposed.
After half a day and a night of white-haired wind, the snow was not deep, just past the horse's hooves, such snow would not affect the battle, so after getting out of the tent and eating something quickly, Zhou Yuji led his cavalry to set out again.
After advancing for about four miles, there were traces left by a camp in front of me, and it seemed that the large army of Jiannu was ahead. Now, it is getting closer and closer to Jizhou, Zhou Yuji knows that once Jiannu enters Jizhou, it will be closer and closer to the exit, and it is estimated that Jiannu's receiving troops will also appear, and the enemy will go out of the customs, and Zhou Yuji will never have a chance.
The horse continued to jog for less than an hour, and a huge black shadow finally appeared in the snowy wilderness.
With the appearance of Zhou Yuji, Kuslai's cavalry scouts spotted them, and Kuslai went out again. After a few powerful detours, Zhou Yuji did not find a chance to haode, and in desperation, Zhou Yuji ordered his soldiers to start resting.
Not long after Zhou Yuji dismounted, when he was about to eat something to replenish his strength, the Jiannu cavalry, who was staring at Zhou Yuji and the others not far away, let out a huge cheer.
Zhou Yuji looked at Jiannu, and in Zhou Yuji's field of vision, a long black shadow appeared in the northern wilderness like a silver carpet, and then, as they got closer and closer, while they were about to merge into the Jiannu cavalry, Zhou Yuji understood that his battle was over.
"Forget it! We've done enough, get out, Father! All the people were silent, they were all unwilling, and in this silence, Zhou Huchen's voice came:
Despite his reluctance, Zhou Yuji also knew that he had done well enough, Jiannu's troops were still too large, plus the reinforcements outside the Guan, he could no longer make a difference, and it was not advisable to sacrifice meaninglessly, these brave soldiers were his most loyal followers, and they were the seeds of a strong army in the future, and he could not afford to lose them anyway.
"All of them, get on board! Get ready to meet the enemy! β
According to visual inspection, the enemy's reinforcements are full of 5,000 horsemen, plus the original cavalry, which is nearly ten times their own, and there is no hope of victory.
Under the gaze of Zhou Huchen and others, the huge enemy cavalry converged. About a quarter of an hour later, the enemy cavalry legion in the silver shijie was dispatched, and nearly 10,000 cavalry were dispatched together, the momentum was so amazing, the earth made a trembling sound, and in the silver wilderness, the enemy came like a mountain and a sea.
"Let's go! We can go back with pride! β
There is no shame in retreating, especially after defeating a hundredfold enemy, Zhou Yuji's brain is not in the water, he will not let his men die in vain, so Zhou Yuji is very wise and proud to order to start retreating.
Although the momentum is amazing, but the enemy's pursuit speed is not fast, this is an obvious driving tactic, the cold and bad weather, the Jiannu reinforcements who rushed all the way do not seem to be easy, running for days, their horsepower is not enough, it is impossible to chase Zhou Yuji's cavalry.
As Zhou Yuji's small cavalry slowly left, he could finally get rid of these dreams! Lord Gushan Ezhen Tuluo was excited to leave tears in his eyes, and his face was full of water! These damn Ming dogs are finally gone!
ββββββββββββ
The sun was sinking in the west, the snow was beginning to melt, and the ground seemed to be smeared with a faint dark gray, and at the edge of the willow trees, Yu Hai, and the newcomers who had just joined, they supported the wounded warriors, and expressed them with their most sincere feelings, to greet these returning warriorsβthey raised their arms high, and the weapons in their hands.
"Uncle Seven, is it seven days?"
"We did fight Jiannu for seven days! Absolutely seven days, you can't go wrong! β
Liu Qi's answer made it difficult for Zhou Huchen to understand, history was amazingly repeated, in his memory, history recorded seven days, is it a coincidence? Or is it providence? As for whether the time was exaggerated, he did not know, but he knew that the number of these slaves was completely consistent with the historical record.
History has changed, and the results are different!
In historical records, Zhou Yuji's capture is several thousand, there is no detailed number, and there is no record of seized property. But this time, there should be 20,000 people killed in Jiannu! Moreover, there are about 20,000 Ming young men who have been rescued, and there should be all kinds of materials piled up like mountains in front of him, of course, for these materials, Zhou Huchen also hopes that they will not be recorded in the annals of history, at least now he does not want to.
A hot dinner, clusters of bonfires swaying in the night wind, the soldiers did not have to endure the cold anymore, because there were a large number of tents in the capture, and the soldiers could sleep in the tents, and Zhou Yuji and his son were of course no exception.
Although it is not as good as the hot kang at home, with these tents, the cold night is much better, at least it is much better than sleeping in the wilderness.
"We have to stay up for three days, and we can send someone to Beijing to report the victory!"
Zhou Huchen smiled pleasantly, the father and son sat on the ground in a huge tent, of course, the ground was covered with thick felt, not far from the father and son, in a very large copper basin, the charcoal fire in the basin "snapped" sparks, bringing bursts of warmth.
Three days, what does three days mean -- after three days, Zhou Yuji's infantry at Bauhinia Pass will arrive, and 5,000 people will come to meet them, and these 5,000 people will take these supplies away at one time and bring them to Shanxi. Therefore, Zhou Huchen said that he would have to wait for three days, and only after three days could he send someone to Beijing to report the victory.
"Jiannu is still very strong! It's just a good chat! But these possessions are really useful, so leave them behind! We can recruit more soldiers, we can feed our soldiers, and we can do something in Shanxi in the future! As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Shaobao, the governor of Zuodu, and the chief military officer of Zhengyin in a province, Zhou Yuji was a little uncomfortable when it came to these "things that are blocked":
But he could understand his son's good intentions. The son is his own good, the soldier is of course also his own good, and the materials left to his own soldiers are incomparably good!
"Father, you also understand that it is useless to hand over to the imperial court! It's just a drop in the bucket! No one can fill this big hole! Besides, these materials were handed over to the imperial court, is it useful? Do those wastes who get supplies dare to fight against Jiannu?! It's better for us to keep the food and wages that the court still owes us! Just let the court compensate us! It's two clear! β
Zhou Huchen doesn't have Zhou Yuji's concerns, Daming is about to change, the general trend of the world is in Zhou Huchen's mind, everything will depend on himself in the future, and rely on these people under his cheap father. History shows that those anti-Qing shili in Jiangnan are unreliable, the surrender of surrender, the fighting of the mouth, the internal fighting of the infighting, in general, their combat value is too low and too low. These people have no unity and cohesion, so Zhou Huchen wants to become stronger by himself, the stronger the better, this cheap dad who dares to fight any enemy in history is his most loyal backer, and he will be okay in the future! In the future, Zhou Huchen will rely on Zhou Yuji's name to go against the sky, and he wants to make this shijie tremble under his feet.
Waste is waste! Anyway, those people are really waste, Zhou Yuji's heart beat slightly: "I'm going back to Beijing!" Maybe"
Zhou Yuji's face was full of expectations and longings, could his wish to defend the Jingshi come true?
