Chapter 257: The Great Army Approaches
On the endless prairie, a huge team is slowly advancing...
Walking at the front of the team is a team of 1,000 firecrackers led by Huang Jiye, they are the vanguard of the whole team, and what the ancient army said about opening roads and building bridges in the mountains and rivers is what they are talking about.
In the middle are the 4,000 foot soldiers led by Yang Feng, which is commonly known as the Chinese army or become the main force, followed by the baggage battalion, the medical battalion and more than 20,000 prisoners, and finally the rearguard led by Chu Maoguang, and around the troops are 500 cavalry and night retreats.
Due to the successive defeat of Huang Taiji's men and horses who went to the Horqin tribe to welcome his relatives and the Khalkha army led by Udamu, he even sacked so many 'Mongolian' ancient tribes. The Jiangning army captured more than 200,000 cattle and sheep alone, and nearly 20,000 horses. Some people may say that with so many horses, he could go back to his home to form his own cavalry, and there is no need to fight with the Horqin tribe, but this is not the case.
You know, an ordinary horse and a war horse are two different things. First of all, the physique is different, the war horse is selected by the owner from the foal and raised by the 'fine' heart, compared to ordinary horses, they eat better and have a stronger physique. You can still make a combat charge after running for hundreds of miles over a long distance, and it's okay for ordinary horses to carry people or pull goods, but if you run like that, I'm afraid it will soon fall apart.
In addition, war horses also have to go through special 'door' training, and they will collide with humans. In fact, the horse is a very timid animal, and the average horse will subconsciously avoid it when it sees that it is going to hit people or objects, but the war horse will not. It is said that in order to increase the blood "sex" of the war horses, the ancient "Mongolian" people would also add human or animal blood to the feed, so that the war horses would become very excited when they smelled blood on the battlefield.
Also, the way the war horse and the ordinary horse run is not the same, the ordinary horse is bumpy up and down, people are very guilty after riding on it, but the war horse is swaying from side to side, so it is like taking the cradle, the knight can nap and sleep on the horseback, so hundreds of years ago, Genghis Khan's 'Mongolian' ancient army can sweep half of the world, it is said that the 'Mongolian' ancient army can chase the enemy day and night, just like his enemies say, they are monsters that can't sleep...... Because they slept on horseback.
It is precisely because war horses are so difficult to find, so the number of Ming cavalry will be so small now, otherwise Yang Feng, who has such strong economic strength, would not have been busy in Nanjing for more than half a year before forming a cavalry force of 500 people.
In a big car, a fair-skinned and plump beautiful 'woman' and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young 'woman' were lying by the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, with a happy look in their eyes.
Looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, Da Yu'er's eyes turned a little red, and she turned her head to Zhezhe and said, "Auntie, we are back again, I guess we will be able to see Abu and Eji soon, right?" ”
Zhezhe looked at the joyful expression of the big 'jade' and smiled slightly: "Yes, I will be able to see your Abu and Eji soon." I'm sure they'll be happy to see you. ”
"yes, I haven't seen Abu and Eji in over a year."
Just as the two of them imagined the scene after meeting their relatives, a terrible voice sounded: "Don't be too happy, even if you go to the Horqin grassland, you may not be able to see your Abu and Eji, you must know that you are still our captives." ”
As soon as the big 'jade' turned around, she couldn't help but be angry, Zheng Tuniang and the four healthy 'women' had been looking at the two of them inch by inch in the past two days, and even someone followed her when she slept and relieved herself, this feeling can make people crazy.
The big 'jade' who came from one place in a rage turned around and glared at Zheng Tuoniang, and his little face was red with anger: "Don't be complacent too early, this is our Horqin territory." If you Yang Commander had a little brain, he should have fled back to the pass a long time ago, thousands of soldiers and horses dared to come here and throw themselves into the net, I don't know whether to praise you for your bravery or laugh at your stupidity, when you become the prisoners of our 'Mongolian' ancient warriors, I must send you to one of the ugliest 'Mongolian' ancients as a slave, so that you know what it means to survive and not to die! ”
Listening to the resentful words of Da 'Yu'er', Zheng Tuoniang was also shocked, but then sneered: "Don't be too happy too early, since we dare to come, we won't be afraid of you." If your Horqin tribe really has such a strong strength, your father will not marry your aunt and nephew to Huang Taiji one after another, and that's it, now you have to give your sister to Huang Taiji, and your aunt and nephew marry the same person at the same time, tsk...... This is the first time I've seen anything like this. ”
"You ......"
The big 'jade' was so angry that she trembled all over, thinking that she was the little 'daughter' of the Horqin tribe who was a little 'girl' of Zaisang in the Horqin tribe since she was a child, and she married Huang Taiji at the age of thirteen, and Huang Taiji also liked her very much, and her aunt Zhezhe also loved her in every way, where had she ever been ridiculed like this.
"I ...... I'm going to tear your mouth apart. "After all, the big 'jade' is still too small, so angry that she stood up and wanted to fight with Zheng Tuoniang, but as soon as she stood up, two hands pressed on her shoulders, and a strong force pressed her firmly on the chair."
The angry big 'jade' turned her head, only to realize that it was the healthy 'woman' who did a good deed. When she was still young, she naturally couldn't hold her breath, and scolded: "You despicable 'woman', believe it or not that I let you chop you up and feed the dogs after you arrive in the Horqin grassland?" ”
This healthy 'woman' didn't speak, just pursed her lips, and made a look that gave you an expression of her own experience, and almost didn't make the big 'jade' angry.
In the end, Zhezhe couldn't stand it anymore, and said softly: "Miss Tuo Niang, you are also the wife of the dignified commander, why should you worry about a child." Why don't we talk about business openly and honestly, why did you come to the Horqin tribe this time? ”
A command made Mrs. scratch the itch in Zheng Toniang's heart, and the gaze on her face eased a lot, she carefully looked at Zhe Zhecai for the first time and said jokingly: "It is worthy of the great fortune of Huang Taiji, this eyesight is extraordinary, much stronger than you, an unreliable niece and daughter." Although I used to live in Guannai, I have heard your ancestor Genghis Khan say that the greatest joy in life is to hunt down your enemies everywhere, invade their lands, plunder their wealth, and then listen to the cries of their wives and children. What do you think we're here for? ”
"What, you guys...... You ......"
As soon as Zheng Tuoniang's words came out, the faces of Zhezhe and Da Yu'er immediately changed.
Although the big 'jade' always looks down on the Jiang Ning army, but she is not a fool after all, in the past two days, the Jiang Ning army first defeated her husband Huang Taiji, and then defeated the Khalkha army, which is enough to prove the combat power of this Ming army, if this Ming army really wants to attack the Horqin tribe, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer.
Even Zhezhe couldn't help but tremble: "You guys...... Are you really going to war against the Horqin tribe? ”
Seeing the appearance of Zhezhe and Da Yu'er's pretty faces, Zheng Toniang smiled faintly and said: "I'm just a 'woman' Taoist family, how do I know what adults will think?" But you are different, since you have become the captives of adults, you have become his 'female', you still have to think about how to serve Lord Yang is serious. ”
"What ......"
When the two 'women' heard this, their faces turned pale.
"Bold...... You're ...... How dare you be so unreasonable...... I ......"
Da 'Yu'er was almost scared to cry, she had been well protected by her parents and husband since she was a child, how could she ever encounter this kind of thing, at first glance she couldn't help but be frightened of the six gods, and couldn't help but look at her aunt for help. But she was also disappointed, Zhezhe himself was so frightened that his face turned white, and he said in a trembling voice: "You...... Aren't you Han people the most particular about benevolence, righteousness, morality, courtesy, righteousness and shame, how can you do such a despicable thing! ”
"Is there one?" I don't know why, seeing the frightened appearance of these two originally noble 'women', Zheng Tuoniang felt an inexplicable sense of happiness in her heart, she pretended to be surprised and asked: "Didn't you 'Meng' ancients pay attention to the strong as the king, if I remember correctly, your ancestor Genghis Khan was defeated once, and his wife was snatched away, and it was not until nine months later that he led troops to snatch his wife's 'daughter' back, and at that time his wife was already pregnant with Liujia, it is said that this child is your ancestor later" Jochi: "Huh? And Genghis Khan didn't get angry, but did his best to raise "Jochi" into a person, is there such a thing? ”
Looking at the smiling Zheng Tuoniang, Zhezhe and Da Yu'er only felt dizzy, if such a thing happened to them, they couldn't imagine what the consequences would be. I wanted to scold Zheng Toniang, but this matter did exist, but if you admit it, how did they say it, for a while, the two of them only felt ashamed and 'desired'. If the two of them had stayed in the afterlife, they would definitely have the phrase "happy to be a father".
But fortunately, the sudden sound of the horn diverted their attention, and when the melodious horn faintly came, the two "women" who were originally ashamed and "desired" were stunned at first, and then their faces slowly changed, and finally their faces were "revealed" with joy that could not be concealed.
The big 'jade' was the first to shout: "It's Abu...... Abu they came, and they came to us. After finishing speaking, she threw herself into Zhezhe's arms, and her eyes, which she had endured for a while, finally flowed out, and she choked up: "Auntie...... Abu they have come to our rescue. ”
Zhezhe hugged the big 'jade', and her pink face, which had always been calm, also 'revealed' her joyful 'color', she patted the big 'jade' on the back and comforted: "Big 'jade', don't worry, we will be saved soon." ”
As they spoke, there was also a 'excited' horn sound around them, followed by a rush of footsteps and the shouts of the officers, and the 'door' curtain was suddenly opened, and the informant came in and said urgently: "Miss, there is an enemy, come over quickly!" ”
Zheng Toniang nodded, she didn't talk nonsense, she jumped out of the car directly and said to the four healthy 'women' sitting quietly in the car: "Look at them, don't let them run away." ”
"Understood!" The four healthy 'women' agreed in unison.
At this time, the entire Jiangning Army stopped advancing, and the sergeants began to form a hollow phalanx, and the gunners also tried their best to push the artillery into the phalanx, and the baggage soldiers of the baggage battalion gathered the prisoners with bayonets and guarded them strictly, and the nurses and doctors of the medical battalion also unloaded the stretchers and 'medicine' from the sound of the cart to prepare to rescue the wounded, and the whole team began to operate like a clockwork machine, and in just a quarter of an hour, the phalanx was completely formed.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The melodious horn began to grow sharp, which meant that the enemy was already very close.
In the big array in the center of the army, there is a huge bucket car, this bucket car is several times larger than the ordinary big car, in the center of the big car stands a wooden pole that is more than ten meters high and the thickness of the sea bowl, there is a big bucket enough to accommodate five or six people on the wooden pole, this kind of bucket car is also a tool for the commander to observe the enemy situation when he fights during the ancient war.
At this moment, Yang Feng was standing on the bucket truck and carefully observing the movements of the 'Mongolian' ancient army in front of him with a telescope, and Zheng Toniang in the walkie-talkie in his hand kept informing him of the intelligence observed by the drone.
Judging from the situation observed by the drone, the Horqin tribe can be said to have used all the strength to eat 'milk' this time, and the Horqin tribe not only dispatched 20,000 troops three or four kilometers in front of the Jiangning Army, but also a cavalry of about 10,000 people is slowly approaching them more than ten kilometers behind the Jiangning Army, which can be described as a bad come.
Seeing the battle of the other party, Yang Feng couldn't help but groan a little, did the Horqin tribe really plan to fight to the death with him? This was a bit unexpected by Yang Feng.
In Yang Feng's thoughts, according to the strength he has shown these days, what the Horqin tribe should do is not to send people to contact him first, everyone sits down to talk, everyone is happy when they talk, and it is not too late to talk about everyone to go to war again, what does it mean to put on such a posture as soon as they meet now?
"Are these 'Mongolian' ancients really funny, or do they want to fight with me to the death?"
Yang Feng muttered while picking up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "Qiu Disheng, immediately let the artillery battalion prepare, if the Tartars are 'approaching' again, when they enter the 'firing' range, you will order the artillery to be fired, give them a little 'color' and see!" ”
"Understood!" Qiu Disheng's calm voice sounded over the intercom.
The 'Mongolian' ancient army on the opposite side was slowly approaching, the distance between the two sides was getting closer, the atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger, and a big battle was about to begin.
When the two sides were three miles away, the 'Meng' ancient army suddenly stopped.
After a while, a 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry galloped towards the large formation of the Jiangning army on a war horse, and soon came to the front of the formation, stopping less than twenty meters away from the infantry phalanx......
