Chapter 685: Returning to the heart like an arrow all the way south
The so-called return to the heart is like an arrow, and it is said that the return journey should be brisk, but although Yang Jing thinks about the south, the speed is not as fast as possible.
Although the Vikings and the Mamluk mercenary regiment were killed, the wounded were added up to a total of about 3,000 people, and the supply was a big problem.
Lin Jue, Li Yu and others went all the way north, and they were also familiar with the road, although they left a lot of secret inspectors in the north to deliver news at any time, but because the road was too far, the update of the news could not be faster.
Although they will not get lost in the savannah, how to feed these 3,000 people is still a big problem.
Fortunately, the Mamluk mercenary group and the Vikings are not good at stubble, especially the Vikings, the robbery ability of the Vikings, the Vikings, there is no doubt about it.
Yang Jing also knows this, but the war is cruel, but the people are innocent, whether it is the Southern Song Dynasty or the Mongolian people, should not be killed, so Yang Jing explicitly forbids robbing civilians.
The Mamluk mercenaries are honest, since they have identified Yang Jing, they are swords and fires, and they are also obedient to death orders, after all, they are professional soldiers.
But the Vikings are different, good and evil morality can't restrain them at all, survival is the last word, they have their own rules of survival, and they look down on human life.
It was also thanks to Yang Jing that he used "magic" to deter them, and the Vikings naturally calmed down.
After the war, the wounded of the Vikings, almost all of them were Yang Jing and Lu Baiyu and others in the cooking and care, Yang Jing's medical skills, coupled with Lu Baiyu's Gu technique, made these people reduce a lot of pain, but also increased the survival rate, the disability rate also decreased, many people because of Yang Jing's help, to avoid falling disabled, Yang Jing is naturally grateful to Dade.
You can't rob civilians, more than 3,000 people can't eat grass and soil, so they specially robbed the Mongol military camp and the garrison of the Han army and the new annexed army along the way!
The territory of the Mongol Khanate was too large, and if all the Mongols ruled and managed, they would not be able to take care of the manpower, so they all used the method of natives to govern their own territory.
The Mongol nobles or military officers were appointed as local emperors, restraining the natives, giving them some privileges, and letting the natives govern the place.
This is also destined to the fact that the local troops are not very sufficient, and can only use the Han army and the new annex army to act as the town army.
Yang Jing led the Vikings and the Mamluk mercenary group, sweeping away the leaves all the way, robbing the Mongol garrison, not to mention, his reputation soon became loud!
After all, Yang Jing was an important minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was impossible for him to do these things blatantly, and the Vikings and Mamluk mercenary groups were all aliens, and they were also aliens who had rebelled from the Mongol Khanate, and it was impossible for the Southern Song Dynasty court to admit it.
Considering the impact of this matter, Yang Jing could only do good deeds without leaving a name, and let everyone wear ghost faces.
So, in just over a month, although they only walked to Xingqing Mansion, they were already notorious, and there were rumors on the Mongolian side that there was an army of evil ghosts, burning and plundering everywhere, making people panic, and it was the Southern Song Dynasty that also received the news.
Xingqing Mansion is the previous geographical division, occupied by the Western Xia during the Northern Song Dynasty, and now the Western Xia has also been cleaned up by Mongolia, with the natural division of the Mongolian side of the resettlement, but many people are used to using the old name of Xingqing Mansion.
After arriving at Xingqing Mansion, there is a problem to consider, that is, how to cross the Great Wall!
This section of the Great Wall stretches from Xuanhua Mansion of Gansu Military Division, along Xiliang Mansion, Xiping Mansion, to Datong Mansion and other places, and is a natural moat for China's defense against northern nomads.
Yang Jing led these more than 3,000 people, and it was easy to rob the Mongol army, after all, their combat effectiveness was off the charts.
But the Great Wall is different, the nomads know how important the Great Wall is, and after they cross the Great Wall, they are like the Han people, and they have placed a large number of defensive garrisons on the Great Wall.
Yang Jing wanted to cross the Great Wall, the difficulty is really not small, because the south of the Great Wall is also the Mongol army, not the defenders of the Southern Song Dynasty, at this time the Southern Song Dynasty has already retreated to the Huai River, but also thanks to Zong Yun's righteous army and An Feng army, only to recross the Huai River and achieve a great victory.
But even so, Zong Yun's rebel army did not have such great ability, and went deep into the hinterland of the Mongol occupation area to receive Yang Jing's thousands of men and horses, and for today's plan, they can only rely on themselves.
The closer they got to the Central Plains, the warmer the environment and climate became, and the Mamluk mercenaries were just that, but the Vikings were overjoyed.
Because they live in bitter cold all year round, or drift on the sea, they are rarely able to stay in a warm place for three and five years.
Along the way, the further south they went, the richer they became, they saw a lot of new things, eating, drinking and playing were completely different, and all kinds of folk customs made them amazed.
Although Yang Jing did not allow them to plunder civilians, robbing the garrison was more exciting and challenging, and with the steady Mamluk mercenary group to clean up the mess for them, they were even more unscrupulous, and this road was also adrenaline-pumping, and they were addicted to robbery.
Of course, they and the Mamluk mercenary group are also constantly contradictory, although they can fight with the same enemy, but as long as they are idle, the two sides do not stop for a moment, and often fight, and the fight is a bloody head, although it does not hurt people's lives, but it is also bloody, which makes Yang Jing have a big headache.
After returning to the boundary of Xingqing Mansion, Yang Jing also asked them all to stop, and asked Lin Jue to take the secret inspector and scouts to explore the way first.
It's been like this all the way, and everyone is used to it.
The reason why they were able to return here safely was also attributed to the Scouts led by Lord Lin and others.
If it weren't for the fact that these scouts had figured out the route and spied on the garrison's detailed information, they would have paid a lot of casualties, even if they had succeeded.
As soon as Lin Jue and the others went out, it was three or five days, the Vikings couldn't sit still, drank and gambled and fought, and looked for the stubble of the Mamluk mercenaries all day long, and the mercenaries were also unconvinced.
The Vikings are extremely energetic, the climate in the south is warm, the blood is up, and after drinking, they are dizzy, Yang Jing simply doesn't care, anyway, they also need to maintain this aggressive blood.
If everyone is as cowardly as Song Jun, what is the use of these people.
If it's just a sergeant, that's it, the women around him are not willing to be lonely, Ji Jin is still withdrawn and cold, Nimo and Countess Ashley are close, and Feng Ruochen and Lu Baiyu are sisters.
Although Ji Jin is a little more honest, he is not easy to mess with after all, and he often fights with the wind and dust, and Lu Baiyu naturally can't see it, and it is another nonsense.
However, Ji Jin is not as willful as before, she has to cut off her hands and feet at every turn, and she will kill her head if she doesn't like people, after all, she also knows to take care of her body, for fear of spoiling the child in her belly.
Nimo was a docile man, and Countess Ashley was very cultured, so she taught her all her knowledge, and the two were much quieter.
As for Blackbeard's Leviathan, he pestered Yang Jing all day long, wanting to compete with Yang Jing in magic, and he had to distinguish himself no matter what, so he took out his revolver and was scared back with one shot.
Yang Jing took the initiative to find him, communicated with him about some firearms and gunpowder that Du Kefeng and others were studying, and even helped him improve the process of refining oil.
Fortunately, Lin Jue and the others finally brought back good news.
It was impossible to pass through Xingqing Mansion, and after spying, they selected the Jinning Army as the breakthrough point.
The Jinning army is currently stationed with a large Mongolian army, but compared to other passes, the Jinning army is the weakest one in terms of numbers and combat power.
More importantly, as long as you can pass through the Jinning Army, you will be able to enter the original Henan East Road, pass Pingyang Mansion, and then go south, Henan Mansion!
It is impossible for Yang Jing to return to the imperial court with these more than 3,000 barbarian soldiers, and he will eventually hand them over to Zong Yun's righteous army.
As early as the time of Haer and Lin, Yang Jing made an agreement with Zong Yun to delay time for Zong Yun so that Zong Yun could attack Henan Mansion.
If you can really defeat the Jinning army, take this opportunity to cross the blockade of the Great Wall, and enter the Henan East Road, you will be able to rush to the aid of Zong Yun, and join Zong Yun's righteous army in Henan Mansion, maybe you can also take the Mongolian defenders by surprise and bring great help to Zong Yun's righteous army!
The Vikings only cared about the death force, and the tactical matters were handed over to the Mamluk mercenary group, and the route and intelligence were in charge of Lin Jue's scout group, and in terms of grand strategy, it was naturally decided by Yang Jing, and they naturally had no opinions.
Yang Jing called the spear thrower and the shield bearer, as well as the ghost fan, and asked Lin Jue to explain in detail the strength and defense of the Jinning army, and everyone naturally had no opinion.
They settled this matter on the same day, and went southeast from Xingqing Mansion to the north of Jinning Mansion, and rested for another day, recuperating and recuperating, and Yang Jing could also lock up the Vikings for a day.
The people of the Jinning army could not have imagined that such a demon army would emerge in their rear, the Vikings were locked up for a day, and there was nowhere to vent their anger and killing intent, and the Mamluk mercenary group was originally the vanguard, but they swarmed up and directly attached to the city, and the gunners under Leviathan launched those big slingshots, and within half a day, the Jinning army was captured.
After the victory of the Vikings, they burned and plundered among the Jinning army, which was already their old business.
There was just one thing, which finally made Yang Jing angry.
Whether it is the Vikings or the Mamluk mercenaries, after capturing the Jinning army, they don't care so much about gold and silver treasures, and they don't care about ordnance, grain and grass, and the first thing is to rob women!
When there was no big city north of the Great Wall, there were only some military towns or garrisons, and they were all gentlemen, and they robbed them.
But to the south of the Great Wall, the population is dense, and the city begins to appear, Mongolians, Jurchens, Tanguts, Koreans, Hans, women of all races, and they finally can't hold back the ** in their hearts!
These Vikings are incorruptible and shameless, after catching women, there are ** people on the street, knowing that Yang Jing is Han, they don't dare to touch Han girls, but they are not so merciful to women of other races.
Yang Jing has always been a pioneer, so when they showed this kind of signs, Yang Jing was the first to discover it.
Yang Jing said that civilians must not be harmed, let alone the elderly, weak, women and children, this is his bottom limit, and he must not challenge the bottom limit!
After getting along for so long, the Vikings naturally know Yang Jing's temper, although Yang Jing is a little "inactive", which can be regarded as free-range them, but in this matter, they did touch Yang Jing's scales!
Although they chose the daughters of the defenders or officials, they still failed to get Yang Jing's indulgence after all.
