Chapter 334: Fuzhou Victory
The Han people are not stupid, they have been looking forward to the opportunity to escape back to the Ming Dynasty, for which many people tried to escape and failed to be captured by Jiannu and beaten to death.
There are also Han people who just want to escape, but they don't know where to flee at all, and they are lucky to be wild people who have fled into the mountains, and most of the aha who have fled into the mountains have become food for the beasts.
Now that the opportunity is rare, the Aha people have a clear direction, and they have found a lot of clothes and bedding from the village.
As long as the men find a weapon in their hands regardless of whether they have combat effectiveness or not, they will at least have an axe or a hatchet to chop wood, and I believe that they will pounce on them desperately when they encounter Jiannu and fierce beasts.
The Han people who have been accustomed to suffering have returned to the south together, and most of them have survived to the present at the level of Xiaoqiang, and now they have food and clothing, and they have gained freedom, and there is no doubt that the vitality of the burst burst out, it is estimated that there should be very few Han people who die on the way back to the south.
Huang Han led about 1,000 men and horses to the center of Kuandianbao to kill the northwest for two days, estimated to enter about 200 miles, encountered three forts garrisoned by Jiannu, all bypassed.
Of course, he would go around the castle to intimidate the enemy, and every time he would suddenly attack and kill two or three Jiannu with his Minnie gun.
Hanzi also followed behind to shoot a shot, and the last time Hanzi finally hit a white armor, I don't know if his marksmanship improved by leaps and bounds, or the blind cat touched the dead mouse.
More than 1,000 well-equipped Ming troops passed by the fort and carried out provocations, and the white-armored soldiers who were dressed in style were inadvertently killed by the Ming generals.
The scale of these dungeon garrisons is not large, basically no more than a hundred regular soldiers, they don't know the intentions of the Ming army at all, and they dare to open the gate of the castle to kill them if they are afraid of self-preservation?
Just when the nearby village of Jiannu received the news from the fleeing clansmen, thinking that this group of men and horses would continue to plunder northward and begin to drag their families to abandon their homes and flee, Huang Hanzhu went to the north-east direction to kill, and two days later, this group of people and horses rushed to the south to kill.
At this time, Huang Han's men and horses had already doubled, there were three or four thousand people and more than six thousand war horses, in fact, there were only thirty or fifty Jiannu villages that were plundered, and the Jiannu who fled after hearing the wind did not know how many.
In some villages, when the Ming army killed, they found that there were no more Jiannu and Qiding, and only some emaciated Aha remained, and Huang Han did not have time to screen traitors at this time, so he could only take the method of sending dozens of catties of grain to each Han and guiding them to flee south, so that Houjin could lose more people as much as possible.
Therefore, the rescued Han people are far more than two or three thousand, most of them can only flee south by themselves if they can't ride horses, and those who are too weak even have to take ox carts on the road, hoping that they can meet the large army of the Ming army, the number of which is not specifically counted, may reach five or six thousand.
The kind of play adopted by Huang Han is the most vicious, and it is similar to the methods of the Ming Liukou.
This road of people and horses is also like locusts in the territory of Jiannu snowballing and devouring everything, the ecology of the place where it passes must be repaired, and the worse management level of Jiannu is impossible without three years and five years.
When Fang Zhenghua and Huanglong's men and horses returned, they walked very slowly, and they could only advance forty or fifty miles a day, for no other reason, but because the people and horses of Dongjiang Town and the rescued Han people were poor and afraid, so they lost some supplies as if they wanted their lives.
Therefore, the team is too heavy, although no one is cheating, and everyone is trying to move forward to be able to go home a moment earlier in vain, and the speed just can't go up.
Yang Danian and Sang Yu had been monitoring Phoenix Fort, and after three days of the large army heading north, the Jiannu in the fort finally couldn't bear it, and they sent out a team of sentry horses to investigate.
It's a pity that Sang Yu, who hid on the mountain and watched in person when Jiannu was carrying the materials to block the north gate, saw it really clearly, and the final outcome can be imagined, and the eleven Jiannu sentry horses were not able to go back.
Niu Lu in the Phoenix Fort really waited for the flowers to thank him, and he didn't see the Bashi Kuba Yala who led the team go home at the appointed time, and it seemed that the eleven people disappeared into the north without a trace, and the terrifying atmosphere spread in the fort.
The Ming army besieged the city with great fanfare, and many Jiannu did not feel terrible, but there was no silence around Phoenix Fort, where chickens and dogs were screaming to death, which was creepy.
Now that eleven more warriors have disappeared for no apparent reason after leaving the city, what next? Do you still send people out? How much is appropriate? I'm afraid that all the young adults will not be able to do so.
Because there are thousands of cavalry in the Ming army, all the Jiannu have seen it with their own eyes, if the Ming army wants to encircle and annihilate the men and horses who went out of Phoenix Fort, they will not be able to escape at all.
Jiannu had no choice, so he could only choose to wait in fear, obviously he couldn't see the Ming army outside the city, and he didn't dare to come out to find out.
On the afternoon of 9 August, Tiger's Den received the good news that Fuzhou had been captured, and the capture would not be less than 3,000, and the specific number was being counted, and the number of rescued Han people exceeded 30,000, and this number was increasing day by day.
Qin Yanyi, the left-behind commander, immediately sent a messenger to Zunhua to report the "Fuzhou victory", because the deputy general Yongping was subordinate to the Shuntian governor to evaluate the performance, and with such a good report, he should report to Liu Zhilun in both public and private affairs, and he reported the victory to the imperial court, and also let him share the profit to the meritorious work.
Liu Zhilun couldn't sit still immediately after receiving the good news, he personally led the family Ding team to gallop to Fu Ningwei, and now Liu Zhilun is no longer the right attendant of the military department who ran into walls everywhere in the winter of the previous year, and could only stand up proud in the wind and snow.
He is now a feudal official, with power, money, and people.
Nearly a year had passed since the last raid on the outside of the Fortress, and he had listened to the two generals talk in detail about the surprise attack on the steppe, and he became more aware of the importance of cavalry.
Liu Zhilun has not been idle during this time, and has been using the superiority of the governor to recruit skilled cavalry with bows and horses, and he now has three hundred and sixty ironclad family members, each of whom has two healthy horses.
It was already noon on August 13 when Liu Zhilun ordered Qi Jiading to gallop to Funingwei, and dozens of warships and transport ships were captured and captured back to Tiger's Den City just yesterday.
Seeing Qin Yanyi, the left-behind commander, Liu Zhilun did not care about being polite and eagerly inquired about the authenticity of the content of the report.
After all, there are too many beheadings on the good news, and it actually exceeds 3,000 levels, and the "Red Banner Army" has only been in the army for a few days? How many troops can be in total? Can the number of veterans who can go to war reach three thousand? How did you achieve such results? Some are puzzling.
Liu Zhilun is very pragmatic, even if he trusts Huang Han very much, he must personally verify it to be able to rest assured, and then he will give the imperial court Chen Zuo a good report.
Qin Yanyi was full of joy and had nowhere to vent, when she saw her husband's boss and New Year's friend, Liu Zhilun, immediately introduced the waist cards that had been checked, a few cattle records, how many white armor soldiers, how many horses, infantry armor, and how many Jiannu veterans and child soldiers.
