There really is nothing mysterious about relics.

Zhu Zhanyan has long said that as long as the temperature is enough, even if he pulls a pig over, he can burn the relics.

However, Zheng Heng obviously didn't understand this, but as a military general, he was not afraid, but he didn't sleep all night after going back.

As for the reason for not sleeping all night...... He was thinking, thinking about why these European white pigs who did not believe in Buddhism would burn relics......

Zhu Sanfeng didn't care about this, because she didn't believe in any religion in the first place, she only believed in Zhu Zhan Yan, because everything she had was brought by Zhu Zhan Yan.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Sanfeng to know, because men and women are different, and she and Zheng Heng do not live together.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Everyone woke up early in the morning, because everyone knew that this war was a little personal vendetta, and the outcome of the war, and even the course of the war, would affect the future of their people.

If you want the future to be a smooth road, you have to give General Zhu Sanfeng this time, and also give Zhu Zhanyan a satisfactory answer.

One Astrakhan, apparently, is not enough.

Glancing at Astrakhan, which the Ming army had captured three times and abandoned twice, the corners of Zhu Sanfeng's mouth pulled up a mocking smile.

In fact, the Golden Horde was really given a lot of time, and if it weren't for the fact that the Ming army could not launch an attack on the whole of Europe at the same time for the time being, the Golden Horde would not have had such a long time.

However, after such a long time of consideration, they have not yet woken up, and even caused harm to the Ming army, so what awaits them is not the normal result of the war.

……

Aubushi Heights.

Chen Mao looked at the captive in front of him, his face a little ugly.

On Zhu Zhan's orders, he divided into two routes with Zhu Sanfeng and Zheng Hengbing, and Zhu Sanfeng and them first went to Astrakhan, and then went north to Salai, the capital of the Golden Horde.

He traveled all the way north, to the north of Salai, and finally conquered Salais with a two-sided attack.

Before conquering Sarai, Zhu Sanfeng and Zheng Heng first wanted to destroy Astrakhan and cut off one of the enemy's backup forces, so he Chen Mao naturally also had a task, that is, to cut off the support forces north of Salai.

The Golden Horde was founded by the Mongol and Yuan people, and its main habits were basically the same as those of the Mongol and Yuan people, and they also retained the nomadic living habits.

Therefore, Chen Mao went all the way from the highlands along the Volga River that were separated from Zhu Sanfeng to the Obshi Heights, exterminated more than 200 tribes of all sizes, and captured 30,000 people.

Although there were men, women, and children among these 30,000 people, it was not a too powerful counteroffensive force, but it still caused him a lot of trouble.

Because he only had a total of 50,000 troops on this trip.

50,000 guards 30,000, if it weren't for the deterrence of white phosphor, it would have overturned a long time ago, because this is already overloaded.

Now that the highlands along the Volga River to the Ossi Heights and then to Strakhan have been swept away, the capital of the Golden Horde, Sarai, has become an isolated island, and it is naturally time for a general attack.

But the question was how he was going to get to Sarai.

Under normal circumstances, he was confident that he would rush to Sarai before the general attack, and then launch a general attack with Zhu Sanfeng and Zheng Heng and them, and then join forces to go north after destroying Sarai, and enter the Grand Duchy of Lithuania with Jian Xiao's army in Silette, Moldova.

It is even possible to destroy a Grand Duchy of Mosk that is still recovering after the civil strife.

But the problem is that Chen Mao knew very well that 50,000 people would not be able to reach Sarai on time with 30,000 prisoners.

Thinking of this, Chen Mao looked in the southwest direction.

There, in the direction of Constantinople.

Killing prisoners, Chen Mao has not done this kind of thing, and he has done it twice, but the problem is that he did not give the orders on those two occasions, he is just an executor, and it actually has nothing to do with him.

The first time was when Emperor Taizong drove his own expedition in the eighth year of Yongle, Yu Kuluan Haizi slaughtered the captives of Tatar and Wuliang Ha Sanwei and built a view of Beijing.

The second time, when Zhu Zhan Yan went east to conquer the Japanese Kingdom and broke through Heiankyo, the capital of the Japanese Kingdom, he and Zheng Heng happened to be ordered by the imperial court to go to support and take over Iwami Silver Mountain, and cheekily followed Zhu Zhan Yan into Heianjing.

Kill the captives and civilians in Heiankyo, and build a Kyoto temple in the palace of the Wa king.

These two times, it was either Zhu Zhan Yan who proposed it or Zhu Zhan Yan who directly made the decision, although he Chen Mao also agreed to do this, but it really had nothing to do with him.

He took the battle merits, but the black cauldron shook off cleanly, and it was all Zhu Zhanyan's.

Thinking of this, Chen Mao suddenly understood a little.

He suddenly found that maybe it wasn't just him, Zhu Sanfeng and Zheng Heng who were going south might also have encountered this problem he encountered, so how would they solve it?

There is no doubt that with Zhu Sanfeng, the female devil, the solution of the problem will definitely be very neat.

Even, they may not encounter this problem, because before they encounter this problem, Zhu Sanfeng is afraid that he has already ordered the source of the problem to be solved.

"Someone!"

Thinking of this, Zheng Heng's mind was clear.

"Give the order to go down, rest in place, tear down the herdsmen's tents, and set up camp."

"In addition to the tents for the soldiers to rest, set up tents for the captives and fence them off to prevent them from escaping!"

……

The guards who came in in response looked at Chen Mao a little strangely, but they didn't refute Chen Mao's meaning.

"Yes!"

……

Seeing the prince guard bow down and retreat, Chen Mao let out a long breath.

He used to yearn for himself who was decisive in killing and everything would not become a shackle, but the fact is that he was full of shackles all over his body, and he only achieved decisive killing.

This is because Zhu Zhanyan's style has always been like this, otherwise he would never have the courage to do so.

Not only literati cherish feathers, but also military generals.

Thinking of this, a light suddenly flashed in Chen Mao's mind, which made him instantly understand Zhu Zhanyan's thoughts.

Originally...... He was dragging the emperor's people into the water......

Is he Chen Mao in the emperor's lineage? Count, but it doesn't count.

The reason why he became the emperor's lineage was the original Emperor Taizong, but no matter what the reason was, as long as he became a supporter of the emperor's lineage, everything that followed would fall into place.

If he could switch to King Wu in the first year of Hongxi, that is, when Emperor Taizong had just died, it might be very different, but now......

But it doesn't make a difference...... Chen Mao, who wanted to understand, smiled freely.

If you had voted for King Wu early, you would indeed be able to solve the current embarrassing situation, but in fact, you would have been pulled into the water earlier.

Why? Because the people of King Wu's lineage, whether it is Li Bin or Xu Heng, have a little bit of Zhu Zhanyan's shadow in their style, they all belong to the kind of people who only seek to solve problems and don't care about the process.

To paraphrase Zhu Zhanyan, this is efficiency.

The matter has come to this, there is no regret in the world that the medicine is sold, even if it is sold, it may not be useful, Chen Mao slowly closed his eyes and put everything in his mind away.

Now, just follow the road honestly, as long as you don't have to go to that kind of desperate road, the result will not be bad......

It's night, sub-hour.

War does not only consume the energy of generals and soldiers, as prisoners, they consume more, so they also need to rest.

However, the sudden chaos of footsteps outside caused the captives to ...... Or should it be said that the vigilance of a few young people who have been soldiers.

In the middle of the night, the footsteps are so chaotic but dense, it means that there is a big move, but almost all the tribes and tribes around here have been wiped out, what else can the Ming army do......

Soon, the young men became vigilant.

When people come to a dead end, whether it is a physical reaction or a mental turn, it is far beyond the usual.

Under vigilance, the young captives woke up the people around them as quickly as possible, and looked at the direction of the tent door very vigilantly.

They surrendered only because there were too many old and weak women and children, and they wanted to ask for a way to live, but if the Ming army insisted on killing them all......

30,000 against 50,000 people, the result may not be satisfactory, but it will definitely not be as good as the Ming army!

However, as the saying goes, it is up to people to make things happen, and sometimes, the outcome of a thing is really not something that people on one side can control.

Suddenly, the outside of the tent became bright, and all around it was brightly lit, and even inside the tent they could feel the bright bonfire.

Not long after, an unpleasant smell of garlic spreads, making it difficult to breathe.

Outside the prisoner camp, Chen Mao was draped all over his body, looking at the prisoner camp that was already in flames.

The reason why the prisoner camp was fenced off was to facilitate the killing of these prisoners.

He was well aware that people would burst out with great potential when faced with the threat of death, and if it was 30,000 people, it would be difficult for the Ming army not to suffer losses.

Then, there was no other way, because if these captives were to die without any resistance, Chen Mao had only one way.

White phosphorous eggs.

He first had people dig a ditch around it, fill it with white phosphorus, first ignite the white phosphorus in the ditch to cut off the way out of the prisoners, and then use artillery to fire the white phosphorus eggs into the prisoner camp.

As he had expected, the camp was soon in disarray, with the phosphor-stained captives scurrying around, demanding a way out, only to find themselves surrounded by flames when they ran out of the tent.

There are also people who want to break through this wall of fire, but although the ditch that Chen Mao let people dig is not deep, it is very wide, and normal people can't jump over, but as long as they step into the ditch, they will bring more phosphorus fire like maggots on tarsal bones.

……

Looking at the chaotic prisoner camp, Chen Mao took a deep breath, but smelled a faint smell of garlic.

He immediately called the herald.

"The order went down, and the whole army advanced three miles in the direction of the upwind mouth, and camped in another camp."
