Chapter 641: Narcissus Town

A full 2,000 Beiming cavalry, surrounded by nearly 4,000 elite mercenaries, all died in less than an hour from the beginning to the end of the battle, and only a few dozen cavalrymen who were seriously injured and fell to the ground were also given a good time when the mercenaries cleaned up the battlefield, and they couldn't be killed.

"Report to the sixth young master, only twenty-four of the two thousand war horses were bruised by bullets, and the others were unharmed. There were not a single casualty in our army! Captain Wusheng trotted in front of Yang Chendong, who had already descended the stone mountain, and reported the results with a salute.

"Alas, didn't you say don't hurt the war horse?" Hearing this result, Yang Chendong shook his head as if he was still a little dissatisfied, but he also knew that even if it was a battlefield, it would not be perfect. "Okay, tell all the brothers, write down the military merits, and go back to the meritorious deeds. Now, take all the horses away, and bury all the corpses of the enemy in the pit that has been prepared long ago. ”

The Battle of Stone Mountain has been won!

With careful planning, sophisticated weapons, and strong military qualities, he took the enemy by surprise, destroying 2,0018 enemies and capturing 2,0018 horses.

With this victory, the mercenaries withdrew from Stone Mountain and rushed straight in the direction of Haizhen. It's also time to leave, although there are a lot of military resources, but with so many more war horses, it won't be too difficult to pull up the equipment.

As soon as Yang Chendong, who was the first to make a move and the first to return, returned to Haizhen, he began to pack his bags, and after equipping all the war supplies on his horse, he left Haizhen, passed through the defense line between Shuangcheng and Mao Liancheng, and went straight to his new destination, Shuixian Town next to the Songhua River, which is also one of the main habitats of the Yan tribe.

During the Five Dynasties, the Khitan people called the Heishui Jar as the Jurchen, and since then, the name Jurchen has replaced the Jardine. The Liao Dynasty changed to female straight because of avoidance.

And whether it is Jurchen or Nuzhi, there is nothing wrong with the Ya tribe being the predecessor of the Jurchen. Yang Chendong chose the next corner here, not only because he heard that there were a lot of war horses here, but also because he thought that the last feudal dynasty of the Han nation was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and he came here in advance, and he also had a sense of blow.

The cavalry regiment chasing the wind had already understood the battle plan of the sixth young master, and after taking the war horses of Mao Liancheng in the twin cities respectively, they also rushed here with their troops. And when they met with the main army, they learned that they had taken a full number of two thousand and eighteen war horses, although more than twenty of them had suffered some damage, but they only needed to recuperate to recover, which was far more effective than the five hundred and fifty war horses they had obtained, and the loss of a full fifty of them.

This result also made the soldiers of the cavalry regiment chasing the wind put away their contempt, and they were all thinking about what kind of means this main force had to complete the task so beautifully?

Just like the cavalry regiment chasing the wind, it also has the capital to attack the two thousand war horses of the Northern Ming Dynasty. Even with their more powerful means of immediate combat, they can be assured that they will be the victors in the end. But the effect is definitely not so good, even the cavalry regiment chasing the wind will be beaten half-disabled, and then look at the main force of the mercenary, there is not a single casualty, such a result is really incomprehensible, incomprehensible.

Yang Chendong didn't mean to explain to them, because it wouldn't be long before the facts would be in front of them, and when the musket was fired, all the words would be so pale and powerless.

While the Northern Ming army had not yet reacted, Yang Chendong and his large army had already walked out of the sphere of influence of the Jianzhou Left Guard. For the killing of more than 2,000 Ming soldiers this time, he did not have any psychological pressure and guilt.

Although the Ming army is also composed of Han Chinese, this army cannot be used for itself for the time being, and may even become its own enemies in the future. Of course, he will not be polite to the enemy, and the Han people he wants are not people who are willing to die for the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention, Shen Kun of Beiming also assassinated himself before, even if this is the case, he is even more polite when he kills people.

Yang Chendong unceremoniously killed people, and at this time, Jianzhou Beiwei, Mao Lianwei and Shuangchengwei had already become a mess.

It was night, but there was no news. After waiting for He Ying, the head of the Thousand Households of Shuangcheng Weizheng, to send people to Jiaoshan Pass, they only got from the ignorant people that there was a big fight, and as for who killed whom, and who won in the end, they really didn't know at all.

Continuing to search, the three cities each sent the most outstanding servants, and it took a full three days to find the huge pit where the corpses of two thousand and eighteen people were buried in the Shishan area, and Chen Dula, the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou, knew that it was a force that destroyed all their cavalry. But all information about this enemy seemed to have been completely cut off, and not a single trace could be found.

Chen Dula could only report the matter to Song Quan, the commander of the slave cadres, and it was inevitable that it would lead to an angry scolding and reprimand. But who the enemy is, it is still not clear. At this moment, Yang Chendong had already led the mercenary army to the west of Narcissus Town, twenty miles away.

Arriving there one step in advance, the scouts sent by Xu Yunsheng and Ding Shan's company commander had already made a rough idea of the situation in the town. According to the information fed back by the scouts, Shuixian Town is a large town with a resident population of about 50,000 people, mainly Jurchen people, and there are also Mongolian, Hanmin, Jilimi, Kuyi (Kuwu), Daur and other ethnic groups.

This is a hodgepodge, because the nearest Ming army near the town of Narcissus is three hundred miles away, making it like a paradise, and it has become a place that belongs to the Nuer Gandusi area and is not under the control of the Ming army. In the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1403), the Ming Emperor Zhu Di sent people to the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River valleys to appease the Jurchen people.

In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy (1449), the Mongol Warat Taishi also attacked the Ming Dynasty first, defeated the Ming army at Tumubao, and almost captured the pro-Ming Yingzong. Some Jianzhou and Haixi guards took the opportunity to attack Liaodong to cooperate with Yexian's military campaign. However, there were also a large number of Jurchen guards who were attacked by Yexian, and many Jurchen hereditary leaders lost their hereditary credentials because they were plundered by Yexian's subordinates, and they could only pay tribute in the name of the Zhongshu Sheren, and the rewards they could receive were much less than before.

But with the division of the Ming Dynasty into north and south, the Jurchen people here have a tendency to move. Since then, the Ming Dynasty's coercion over the Jurchens has begun to decline, and the Jurchen tribes have gradually lost control. Some leaders even dared to openly challenge the Ming Dynasty and plunder the Liaodong region. It was also around this time that the Jurchen script was completely lost, and the Jurchens mainly switched to Mongolian as their written language, with a small number using Chinese.

Unlike in history, Jianzhou Wei, Jianzhou Left Guard, Jianzhou Right Guard, under the rule of the Ming Dynasty formed a powerful tribe "Jianzhou Sanwei" appeared, marking the formation of the main part of the Manchu and the beginning of the expansion of power, but now, because of the appearance of Yang Chendong, the Ming Dynasty was divided into north and south, and the Northern Ming Dynasty gave more support to the Nuer Gandu Division, so that the Jianzhou Sanwei was still in the hands of the Northern Ming.

Having said that, if Narcissus Town wants to be under the control of the Ming army, it is definitely not possible to rely on its geographical location alone, and there is also a major reason that there are two very strong cavalry teams here, the strongest of which is under the Jurchen command, and the weaker one is under the command of the Mongols.

Judging from the information provided by the scouts, the Jurchen commander was named Xiao Te (translated into Chinese as calculating), and he had 4,000 cavalry under his command, a force that even the surrounding Beiming Guards were afraid of.

The Mongol general's name was Bagen (meaning pillar), and he had 2,500 cavalry, although he was a little worse than the Jurchen, but as a Mongol, he had a strong background and strength, and in many cases, even Badt had to give three points of face.

Six thousand five hundred elite cavalry who are good at riding and archery are in hand, which has exceeded the five thousand six hundred people of a Beiming Guard. Unless Beiming is willing to dispatch three guards, it will be difficult to bargain here. In fact, some of the nearby Beimingwei chiefs are also from the Jurchen clan, if they really want to attack here, they are guaranteed to be unable to help, and they will even ventilate in advance, which is also the main reason why Narcissus Town exists, and there is no Beiming coming to threshk grass. (Threshing grass refers to the plundering of resources by war, which is generally used by nomads, but at this time it is also commonly used by the Northern Ming Dynasty against Narcissus Town.) )

With a special geographical environment, the town of Narcissus is constantly developing in its own way. Their main ways of life are hunting, fishing, or raising various livestock for a living. And this includes horses, and even many of these horses are born with wild horses, which makes the horses have good foot strength and become the best choice for future war horses.

Yang Chendong will come to Narcissus Town, it is precisely because of the horses they raise, if they get their hands on it, it is very likely to become war horses, which will greatly increase the ability of mercenaries to survive on the grassland.

"Six thousand five hundred cavalry." Yang Chendong shook his head after reading the information sent back by the scouts, it was difficult for him to eat so many cavalry in one bite now. Even if it can be eaten, it is necessary to consider the issue of its own casualties, whether it is the Jurchen or the Mongols, they are not his main opponents now, and it is not worth and meaningless to waste energy here. "In this way, let the company commander Dingshan take a trip to see how many war horses can be bought from them, as long as they meet our standards, we will leave here and go to the Tatar region."

He didn't want to fight the Jurchens and the Mongols, although he wanted to take this opportunity to teach the Jurchen cavalry a lesson, but it was not worth it if he had to pay too much price.
