Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Tartar Swears Not to Return
Three mutilated corpses, hanging high above the city walls, fluttered like scarecrows in the cold wind.
Quack......
There were vultures hovering over the walls, and crows perched on the battlements, staring at the corpses on the walls, extremely greedy.
Exposing the corpse after death and letting birds and animals peck at it is tantamount to the greatest punishment.
This is a shock, like the world proclaiming, the end of being a traitor.
At this time, under the Shanhai Pass, the officers and men of the three armies were ready to go.
The drums of thunder sounded, and the people in the city brought the few eggs and food at home.
"Ergou, fight a good war and fight for our Han people!"
"Zhuzi, don't embarrass Lao Tzu, your sister died at the hands of the Tartars, if you don't cut off a Tartar's head this time, I won't recognize you as a son!" a gray-haired old man told his son.
"Dad, don't worry, even if I die, I will pull a few Tartars on my back!"
......
There are not one or two such scenes.
Since yesterday, after the execution of Hong Chengchou, Chongzhen has issued an order to send troops to Shengjing.
History has proved that these Tatars and nomads, if they cannot be destroyed in one go, will quickly recover.
What Chongzhen has to do is to strike while the iron is hot, uproot the biggest threat in the north, completely pacify the north, and then slowly clean up the group of squires and tyrants in the south and reform the world.
"The Flag Presentation Ceremony Begins!"
Chongzhen stretched out his hand and made a move, a big flag fell into the palm of his hand, looked at the red lady with a straight face in front of him, and said: "Red lady, you Guanning Iron Cavalry, is the most elite army of my Ming Dynasty, you move like thunder, like a tiger, today, I grant you the title of army - Dragon Tooth." It means that it is the sharpest fangs of my Ming Dynasty. This time, you have a heavy responsibility to go behind enemy lines and block the retreat of the Tartars, and I hope you will return triumphantly!"
"The Red Lady will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!" The Red Lady took the flag with both hands, waved it violently, and hunted the flag, on it, a dragon held a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, revealing two sharp fangs, majestic!
The dragon is a pattern that can only be used by the emperor, and the dragon's tooth is naturally the emperor's fangs.
"The dragon's tooth is mighty, the dragon's tooth will win!" the soldiers roared excitedly, and the sound broke through the sky.
The red lady also felt her blood boiling, glanced back at her husband, and saw Li Yan nodded, so she waved the general flag and shouted: "Let's go!" These cavalrymen, who are lightly armed this time, want speed, so they set off in advance.
Dragon's tooth soldiers, all carrying a gun behind them. However, with the exception of a few who carried machine guns, most of the cavalry carried shotguns. The shotgun is simple to operate, the bullets shot are scattered, and there is no need to aim at all, and there is no better weapon for beginners.
This time, the dragon tooth cavalry was to make a detour through Beigukou, pass through the territory of Mongolia, detour through the rear of the Manchu Qing, and cut off the Manchu retreat. Chongzhen wanted to completely destroy the Manchu Qing in a war, leaving no trouble. Otherwise, the Manchu cavalry was the majority, and it would be really difficult to chase after them if they really wanted to abandon the city and flee.
Chongzhen turned his head, bowed slightly at Li Yan, and said, "Li Yan, you stay in Shanhaiguan to preside over the overall situation, and after you get my news, you can move the people to Shengjing." That place in Shengjing was built well by the Manchu Qing Tartars, and we occupied it, so naturally we can't waste it. ”
In the words, there is no intention of failure at all, indeed, with the help of the system, everyone has a gun, and if you can fail, it is better to find a piece of tofu and die!
"The minister is waiting for the good news of His Majesty!" Li Yan was also not worried, after seeing Chongzhen's methods, he was deeply glad that he had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.
"Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long!"
Chongzhen laughed, waved his whip, pointed at Shengjing, and said: "All the soldiers listened to the order, and went to Shengjing to avenge the people who were humiliated by the Tartars in my Ming Dynasty, to avenge your relatives who died in the hands of the Tartars, and to save the Han people who were oppressed by the Tartars outside the pass."
In this battle, only victory, not defeat!
Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and the Tartar swears not to destroy it. ”
"Don't destroy the Tartars, swear not to pay it back!"
"Don't destroy the Tartars, swear not to pay it back!"
The blood of the officers and men of the three armies surged, and they shouted in unison, and all those vulture crows flew in shock, and the sound rushed straight out of the clouds.
The north wind called, and the snowflakes fell in the sky.
Thundered......
The tank started, and Chongzhen took the lead. Tens of thousands of soldiers, like a long dragon, followed behind, and soon disappeared into the vast wind and snow.
This kind of weather is not suitable for marching and fighting, even if it is a Tartar, it will not come out easily. I would not have thought that the Ming army would dare to go out of the city and take the initiative to attack.
Jinzhou is the gateway to Shenyang, as long as Jinzhou is laid, it can be said that Shenyang is a flat river.
Therefore, Tatar also attaches great importance to Jinzhou. However, in the past few days, there have been many winds and snows, and the Tartars have no intention of going out, so they are all nested at home with their wives and children on the hot kang. No one expected that at this time, a fierce beast with fangs was approaching Jinzhou City.
In the midst of the wind and snow, an army of tens of thousands of people was marching in a hurry.
In this era, it is not bad for ordinary foot soldiers to be able to walk seventy or eighty miles a day, because there are many loads of grain and grass, and they are not going to be guests when they fight, so almost half of the energy of every army is focused on the transportation of grain and grass.
However, this time is different.
Chongzhen asked everyone to go into battle lightly, each with a gun, and as for those armors, they didn't want anything, and changed into light cotton clothes. I didn't bring any grain and grass, only a few boxes of compressed biscuits per person, and I didn't weigh much at all. Therefore, even in the wind and snow, the march speed is extremely fast.
Compressed biscuits were naturally redeemed by Chongzhen following the advice of the system.
Chongzhen also had to sigh, the system is good, this slap is a big biscuit, enough for a big man to eat for a day. And this thing is extremely cheap, one point is a box, enough for a soldier to eat for two days. And there are all kinds of flavors, beef flavors or something, many of which even he, the emperor, has never tasted.
In the case of traveling lightly, originally, it took a week to arrive in Jinzhou, and Chongzhen only took three days.
In the early morning of the third day, a bright light was faintly visible in the east.
Ahead, the city of Jinzhou is in sight.
Chongzhen stopped the tank, and the soldiers behind him also breathed a sigh of relief, and after three consecutive days of rapid marching, even if the equipment was not heavy, it was extremely tired.
"All the soldiers obeyed the order, rested in place for half an hour, and ate something to replenish their strength!"
Three days passed, and the compressed biscuits that everyone brought on them were almost finished, and they all looked at Chongzhen with blank eyes, hoping to get some more biscuits.
After all, their military rations in the past were simply hard to swallow, how could there be such a good taste as compressed biscuits? Especially the beef-flavored ones, soak them in some water, just like eating meat, and they taste delicious.
Chongzhen laughed and said, "Today, I prepared something better for you." ”
"Hurry up and get some snow, boil water, let's eat instant noodles today!"
Chongzhen took out a new delicacy that he found in the system the day before yesterday - Tang Shuaifu instant noodles!
After the half-pillar incense, a rich beef aroma wafted across the plain.
At this time, the Tartar defenders on Jinzhou City looked at the army that appeared inexplicably in front of them in a daze.
A middle-aged man wearing bright armor frowned and said, "Where did so many people come from? They didn't wear the armor of the Ming Dynasty, could they be the displaced people who were killed? But how could the displaced people wear such good clothes? Hmm? What are they eating? Why is it so fragrant?"
In less than a moment, tens of thousands of soldiers ate all the instant noodles, and even drank the soup cleanly, all licking their tongues and having an aftertaste on their faces!
"Do you still want to eat?"
Looking at everyone's eyes, Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take down Jinzhou, let you eat enough!"
The tank rumbled and drove towards Jinzhou City, and behind, tens of thousands of troops were shining in their eyes, and they rushed towards Jinzhou City with excitement and roaring with the steaming heat of the noodles they had just eaten.
"Enemy attack...... It's the enemy!"
At this time, the defenders of Jinzhou City reacted.
"Someone, dispatch cavalry......" The middle-aged general's reaction was not unpleasant, the group of enemies under the city were all foot soldiers, and there was no armor, as long as a cavalry could kill them, there was no armor left.
However, the voice did not fall.
A rumbling cannon burst in his ears, and in an instant, his entire consciousness fell into darkness.
The wind and snow stopped, and the sun, which had disappeared for a few days, finally rose again, and the golden sunlight shone on the bright armor on his body, shining with a dazzling light.
