Chapter 221: Amin's Decision
Boss Zhao's group of people looked at each other, and many people couldn't believe their ears.
Although they are all subordinate to the most elite Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than two hundred years, whether it is military discipline or physique, it has long been corrupted and stiff, and the upward channel has also been controlled by the generals in the army. After decades of mixing, he can only be a big soldier.
"My good boy, Brother Da Niu, you are now developed, and you have become the boss." Da Zhuang was also amazed.
"It's a hundred households." Yang Daniu hurriedly corrected it.
"It's all the same." Da Zhuang said enviously: "And a hundred households can still be hereditary, but being a military household is a matter of generations, and if one is not good, you have to be tied up there,"
"What are you afraid of?" Kuroko said disdainfully: "If you do a good job, you can do it, if you don't do it, we won't do it in the future, the legs are long on our masters, and it's not a matter of words to want to go." ”
"Kuroko, don't talk nonsense." Boss Zhao frowned and shouted, he had already seen that the cavalrymen of the Jiangning Army next to him had already shown displeased expressions on their faces.
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Boss Zhao patted Yang Daniu on the shoulder, "Although I know you don't want to hear it, but brother, I still want to thank you for saving us today, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid our brothers would have to fold here today." ”
Kuroko also nodded and said: "Yes, we have been hiding for several days in a row, and even the horses have run away several times, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we won't be able to run again after a while, so we can only go back and fight with them." ”
Speaking of this, Heizi said with some envy: "Brother Da Niu, you Jiang Ningjun are too rich, everyone has a three-eyed handcuff, this is a rare commodity!" Can you show me? Speaking of which, Kuroko rubbed his hands and was a little embarrassed.
"Of course you can, just watch." Yang Daniu happily pulled the handcuff out of the holster and handed it to Kuroko.
Kuroko took the handcuff and looked at it carefully, looking at the well-made handcuff in his hand that shone with a dark light, his eyes showed undisguised joy. In this era, the biggest difficulty in making firearms is that the barrel is difficult to build, such as the Lu Mi gun, the bird gun and other firearms, in this era without mechanized machine tools, if you want to build a gun barrel, you have to rely on water grinding kung fu to drill the barrel with a drill bit, which is not only time-consuming but also easy to scrap.
Although the barrel of the handcuff is much shorter than that used by the foot soldiers, the price is not cheap, a qualified three-eyed handcuff costs at least eight taels of silver, and the quality of the materials in this era is not up to par, so the handcuff has to be scrapped if it hits about two hundred rounds, so those who can equip the firearm are rich people.
The more Kuroko looked at this firearm, the more he liked it, for soldiers, a good weapon is their second life, "Good boy, your handgun is still made of steel, it's not cheap." I guess this handcuff can shoot at least two or three hundred rounds of medicine, right? ”
"Two or three hundred rounds?" Yang Da Niu snorted and stretched out an index finger: "This fire gun will never break before each tube finishes a thousand rounds of medicine, how about it, it's amazing." ”
"A thousand rounds, so powerful?"
At this time, even Boss Zhao couldn't help but be shocked, this is five times the lifespan of ordinary handcuffs. And this is a three-eyed gun, and a thousand rounds per barrel is not three thousand? I guess you won't be able to get 3,000 rounds of medicine in your life, right?
"How? Not bad, right? Yang Daniu smiled very proudly: "Our Jiangning Army not only has a high salary and good treatment, but also our commander also said that you can fight this handcuff casually, and if it is scrapped, you can replace it with a new one, and each person can receive up to two for self-defense." How about it, do you want to come to our Jiangning Army? ”
Boss Zhao glanced at them, and I have to say that they are indeed moved. Don't look at them who claim to be the most elite at night, but in the eyes of those officers, they are a group of poor people who are at the bottom and earn money for their lives, and if there is a better place to go, they will naturally not let go, which is like the white-collar workers in later generations who change jobs for high salaries, and there is no psychological burden at all.
Just as a few people were talking, Yang Daniu observed the wrist of the old king again, and found that he did not have an allergic reaction before he injected him with penicillin, half an hour after the injection of penicillin, the old king's face finally improved, and at this time, everyone had rested enough after cleaning the battlefield, and then the war horses and trophies captured by the former embarked on the way home......
"What...... Those Ming troops actually came out of Jinzhou to help Dalinghe Fort? ”
After all, the news of the dispatch of more than 10,000 troops could not be concealed. In the evening, Dai Shan, who had finally slept enough and had just gotten up to get ready for dinner, finally received the latest news from their outpost
The blue flag sentry kneeling on the ground replied respectfully: "Da Beile, Erbeile, the minions have seen with their own eyes, the Ming army has indeed come out from Jinzhou in the direction of Dalinghe Fort, with about 4,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of foot soldiers, and the minions estimate that they will be able to reach Dalinghe Fort tomorrow." ”
Amin's face was amused, "Hehe...... I didn't expect those Ming dogs to be brave wow, if they cowered in the turtle shell in Jinzhou, I couldn't do anything with them, and now they dare to come out of that turtle shell, then don't blame us! ”
Amin was angry, but Dai Shan's face suddenly changed, and Yue Tuo on the side hurriedly asked, "Do you know which Ming army is coming to us?" ”
"The minions don't know." The detective shook his head: "The slave only recognizes that cavalry as the commander of the capital and the commander of the Daling River, Zhao Shujiao, and the soldiers and horses of that infantry are still the first time I have seen them, but the equipment of this army is surprisingly good, all of them are wearing red iron armor, and they are all equipped with firearms." ”
All of them were clad in iron armor, and all of them were armed with firearms. Yue Tuo and several other generals who were red flag immediately changed their faces, and Gushan Ezhen Enteheng grabbed the collar of the detective and said sharply: "Is there a Yang character written on their banner!" ”
"Exactly!" The Sentry replied in the affirmative.
"It's him...... That's him! He's coming! ”
Entheng's face changed immediately, and he couldn't help but look at Dai Shan, but Dai Shan was pale and didn't speak.
Amin saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel disdain in his heart after seeing the expressions of Dai Shan and others, Dai Shan usually relied on his hands to hold the red and red flags, and his strength has never taken himself seriously, but he didn't expect to have a day of cowardice.
While despising the other party in his heart, Amin made up for it in time: "Big brother, you have suffered such a big loss, don't you even know the origin of the other party?" ”
"I ......"
Dai Shan only felt that his face was too hot, Amin's words were simply sprinkling salt on his wounds, and it was just a matter of losing the battle, who had never suffered a defeat in a war, but after eating a defeat, it would be too embarrassing to not even know who the opponent was.
Just when Dai Shan and his party were ashamed, another sentry ran in, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Qiqi Da Beile, Erbeile, our spies in Jinzhou sent a message, just yesterday, Sun Chengzong, the governor of the Ming army, sent 9,000 foot soldiers and 4,000 cavalry to come to the aid of Dalinghe Fort, led by Yang Feng, the commander of Jiang Ningwei and the general of Nanjing East Road, and Zhao Shujiao, the governor and general of Dalinghe. ”
"Nanjing East Road General Yang Feng?"
Dai Shan and Amin were stunned at the same time, and after a while, Amin asked again with some disbelief: "Are you sure that the reinforcements are from the Guannai?" ”
The stall said affirmatively: "It's true, this news came from our old friends in Jinzhou!" ”
Hearing the news from the "old friend", Daishan and Amin no longer questioned the news, although Nurhachi was brutal, but there was one thing he did very well, long before he started the army, he sent a lot of people to infiltrate the Ming Dynasty to buy all kinds of people, including officials, businessmen, scholars, etc. These people either provided them with the latest news on the Ming court and border passes, or purchased important strategic materials such as weapons, iron armor and even food urgently needed by the Houjin for them, or informed them of the latest situation of the Ming army.
They even bought a lot of generals of the Ming army, they were like a swarm of locusts constantly absorbing the nutrition of the Ming Dynasty to strengthen themselves. And this old friend of Jinzhou is a nail planted by Houjin in Jinzhou City, specially collecting intelligence for them, the source is extremely reliable, it is Dai Shan, Amin and others who dispelled the doubts in their hearts as soon as they heard the news from an old friend.
"Jiang Ningwei commanded Yang Feng?" Amin frowned, he stood up and slowly avoided his steps in the big tent, and shook his head a little puzzled: "I've never heard of this name, big brother, you were on this person yesterday?" ”
"If the news from there is correct, it's them." Dai Shan sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that in the end, I Dai Shan fought for most of my life, and in the end, I was planted in the hands of an unknown military household. ”
Yue Tuo and several other generals who are red flag are not very good-looking, they still know a lot about the Ming Dynasty, once upon a time the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang set the guard system as the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, but just a hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty guard system has long been rotten, in view of this, the Ming had to change the guard system to a recruitment system, but now someone told him that the army that beat them to the bottom yesterday turned out to be a guard army from the interior of the Ming Dynasty, which made them proud of how embarrassed.
Amin and several generals with blue flags next to him looked at them with playful expressions, where there are people, there is a struggle, Dai Shan has been proud all these years and has never put Amin and his blue flag in his eyes, the people with blue flags have long been angry, and now they will naturally not let go of the opportunity to see jokes.
Amin looked at Yue Tuo and asked, "Yue Tuo, I remember that you are very capable of fighting the Red Flag, how could you be beaten like this by a Ming army from Guannai, can you tell me what's going on?" ”
"I ......"
Yue Tuo hesitated for a moment and looked at Dai Shan on the side.
Dai Shan's eyes closed slightly, nodded slightly, and Yue Tuo said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll tell you." Dai Shan 1510 recounted the experience of yesterday's battle, and finally he concluded: "Looking at the Ming army, they are an all-firearms army. We don't know how powerful their guns are, but their artillery is extraordinary, not only powerful but also fast, and more importantly, their guns are very light, one or two horses can be dragged away, we were planted in these artillery yesterday, more than 2,000 warriors with red flags. ”
Speaking of this, Yue Tuo sighed lightly. The Jurchen population is thin, and the total number of them adds up to hundreds of thousands, and yesterday the battle lost 2,000 people, which is already a rare defeat in recent years.
Amin and several generals with blue flags also began to be solemn after listening to Yue Tuo's words about this battle, although they did not like the red flag, but they still understood the combat effectiveness of the red flag. Objectively speaking, the strength of the Zhenghong Flag is at least stronger than the Blue Flag, and now the Zhenghongqi has suffered such a big loss in their hands, which proves that the Ming army that is killing them is definitely not good.
"Big brother." Amin looked at Dai Shan and said seriously: "If what Yue Tuo just said is true, then I think that the Weisuo army from the pass is definitely a strong force, I think our top priority is not to take the Daling River, but to work together to eat this lone Ming army, as long as this Ming army is eaten, then Dalinghe Fort is naturally in our pocket." What do you think? ”
"That's true." Dai Shan nodded, as the saying goes, after eating a trench and growing wisdom, after eating such a big loss, he has already listed the Ming army from Guannai as an army with the highest threat level, and now since Amin proposed to eliminate the Jiangning army first, he will naturally not object.
"Second brother, since you said so, where do you think we should fight that Ming army?"
"Right here!" Amin walked to a rudimentary map hanging in the big tent, pointed to a place, and said loudly: "Withered Grass Ridge, fifteen miles away from Dalinghe Fort! ”
After dinner, Yuan Chonghuan, who was on patrol as usual, and Zhou Xian, the former general of Dalinghe Fort, walked up to the city wall together, and a general manager came up to report: "Report to the two adults, our soldiers found that after dinner, it seems that many people from the Tartars left the camp and walked to the west. ”
"Gone?" Yuan Chonghuan and Zhou Xian looked at each other and asked in surprise, "Have you seen clearly?" ”
"This?" The Qian general hesitated for a moment before saying, "Because the night is too dark, I can't be sure." It's just that there seem to be a lot of people in the dark night. ”
Yuan Chonghuan took out a clairvoyant mirror and looked out of the city, only to see that the Houjin camp tent two miles away from them was dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly, only the fire outside the camp was still burning, he slowly shook his head, "That's it, no matter what the Tartars do, it is important for us to hold Dalinghe Fort before the situation is clear." ”
