Chapter 424: Retreat

"It's Tabu Sac back."

In the middle of Daxu are Ah Cheng Taiji and Xi Ling Se Taiji, and there are also two Taiji of the Karashen Division, and two Taiji of Geng Ge and Gurusi.

"The Han dog has crossed the river." Tabu Sac is a qualified sentinel who does not carry too much personal emotion, but reports in as much detail as possible what he has seen.

Geng Ge was an old Taiji who was known for his courage to fight in the Karashen Tribe, and once besieged Beijing with Altan Khan when he was a teenager, and had a deep-rooted hatred for the Ming and Han Chinese.

Gulus is a rising star among the various departments of Harashen, this time although Bai Hong Dataiji was contained, he did not openly turn against Zhang Han as Tumut, but still sent the best of his subordinates to help as much as possible.

After listening to Tabunang's report, Geng Ger said loudly: "The other two parts of the Han Dog have also moved, and it seems that they want to fight with us. Xi Ling Se Taiji, Ah Cheng Taiji, what do you think? ”

Xi Lingse was about to move, but he did not directly state that the commander of this coalition army was Ah Cheng Taiji.

Ah Cheng looked at Tabu Nang and asked, "What is the morale and state of the merchant army?" ”

Tabu Nang thought about it, thinking of the dazzling armor of the Han army when crossing the river, and the appearance of the neat queue, he somehow felt a little depressed, he said: "Very arrogant, the queue is neat, and the morale looks very high." ”

"This battle will not be fought." Ah Cheng said: "It's early spring, down our cattle and sheep are fatter, the grass is more dense, and the war horses are more fat. ”

Tabu Nang thought that Geng Ge would lose his temper, but the old Taiji pulled his beard unhappily and did not make a sound.

Guruth said, "How far back?" ”

Ah Cheng said: "If you don't plan to fight with the Han army for the time being, it is better to retreat to the bank of the Xiaohei River and the area of the Erqing River, graze the war horses, and wait for a better time." ”

"It seems too passive to sit back and watch the Han people build a military fortress like this."

"Of course you can't sit idly by." Ah Cheng's expression was quite calm, but his eyebrows were also full of distress.

Unlike the situation where the Mongols were in charge of a few Taiji, when Zhang Han made the decision to go north to invade and control the western Mongolian tribes dominated by Tumut, he almost gathered the wisdom and experience of everyone around him, and Yusheng has been active on the grassland in the past two years, and he has been interested in the strength, customs, wisdom, courage and prestige of each department, as well as the number of herdsmen and men in each department, the number of soldiers, the terrain and the direction of rivers and mountains...... These are the most detailed investigations, this time and Yusheng to build the military fort is almost the most important place, for the early preparation and Yusheng side, although the Mongolian side is the initiative to break the party, but the tactical preparation is almost zero, Ah Cheng and other Taiji invited troops to travel, there are also some Taiji are still waiting, and do not want to contribute at the earliest, it is still the end of winter and early spring, the war horses are not fattened, the herdsmen of each department have a very heavy work, at this time to send troops, the departments are not very willing to ......

"I want to find another chance...... Ah Cheng bit his lip and thought for a long time, but in the end it was this sentence.

The look of disappointment in Tabu's eyes could barely be hidden...... However, Ah Cheng had already ordered him and the rest of the sentry cavalry to continue to keep an eye on the movements of the Shang Tuan soldiers, and the main force and the rest of the soldiers and horses to retreat in the direction of the Xiaohei River, and the Karashen tribe was afraid to retreat to the place where Yuanxing and the Imperial Palace were guarded, or even to the east.

Geng Ge glanced at the Gurus, and they should retreat to the northeast of the junction of the Erlong River and the Daqing River, more than three hundred miles away from here, and the northernmost point of their own pasture.

The pastures of Karashen are more than 150 miles from north to south and more than 400 miles from east to west.

"Alas!"

Tabu Nang remembered the arrogance of the Han people when they crossed the river just now, and then looked at the people on his side, after Ah Cheng ordered the withdrawal, only a few people were a little disappointed, and more people were happy and happy.

Tabu Sang was simply furious, and his heart was suppressed by an incomparably whimsical feeling, which made him almost out of breath!

He galloped forward like the wind, and in a short time he was again at the place where he had just been sentry.

"How's it going, do you want to fight today?"

Several other sentries came around, and everyone had already taken their weapons in their hands, or held bows and arrows, and they all looked a little nervous.

"They've backed away." Tabu said sarcastically.

"Alas, I know!"

Several of the sentry cavalry were elite and daring soldiers, but the morale of the army was low, and everyone lacked confidence in attacking the array of merchant soldiers head-on, which was also obvious, but it was really frustrating to retreat like this.

"Ah......h

A sentry glared angrily at the river, where some of the merchant soldiers had landed and quickly formed a line on the bank, and the sentry drew his bow and arrows, and shot forward...... Of course, it was pointless, they were more than a mile from the river bank, and the arrow was completely out of the air.

The rear team has begun to withdraw, separated by five or six miles, fortunately the other side is pure infantry, otherwise the formation will retreat back and forth, it is easy to cause chaos, and then be chased and beaten like ducks.

"Why did the people of the Ming Kingdom suddenly become so powerful?" A sentry shouted with an unwilling face: "Look at their armor, I remember that in the past, the border troops of the Ming army were mostly cotton armor, and most of their battalion soldiers had no armor and no helmets when they were in the market, and now these soldiers say that they are the guards of the merchant group, how can they all have iron armor and iron helmets!" ”

"People cross the river directly to build bridges...... "Another sentry also spouted fire in his eyes, and the merchant soldiers not only built the pontoon bridge in front of them on the Dahei River, but also built a total of seven pontoon bridges along the river for more than ten miles, and they did not use the sheepskin cut called Hun off as a support, but built it in a more ingenious and stronger way.

"Say no more, let's go!" Tabu Nang looked at everything in front of him coldly, he felt that the world was turned upside down in front of him, and there was an unprecedented sense of crisis and urgency, he said: "How can a Han dog be a Han dog, how can you fight us with just two legs?" When the summer comes, and the taiji of each family are willing to send troops, then we will see how we defeat them, kill them, and strip off their armor! ”

……

"The Tartars are withdrawn!"

"Whew......"

The sturdy body was full of people standing on top of it, densely packed like ant colonies, and everyone couldn't help but cheer when they saw the Tartar cavalry retreating.

The convoy from Xinpingbao to the north included more than 300 soldiers who had just undergone simple training, carrying a large number of equipment and supplies with the army, and more than 2,000 people who went north, all of whom were recruited from the nearby Liubao near Xinpingbao.

Because they were worried about the enemy's attack, they were all rushing day and night, and people's physical energy was greatly consumed, and their spirits were extremely nervous.

Seeing that the northern captives didn't even have the courage to fight, the cavalry of the brigade raised smoke and dust half a day high, but instead of attacking, they fled, how could this not make people feel proud and happy.

Lu Dafu and Zhang Chunniu stood on the roof of the car together, watching the army cross the river, watching the Mongols retreat, and seeing a Tartar sentry shoot an arrow near the river...... didn't dare to fight, but he did such a hateful act, which made people feel that the other party's lust was inward.

"Your boss is here."

Lu Dafu saw a bureau general named Tao Chun riding a miscellaneous horse, running crookedly, and said to Zhang Chunniu with a smile: "Chunniu, you are going to dig a pit with someone below." ”

Zhang Chunniu snorted from his nose, and he was not very happy in his heart.

Zhang Chunniu jumped off the roof of the car, gave a military salute to Tao Chun, and said: "Zhang Chunniu, the flag captain of the fourth flag team of the third bureau of the first battalion of the army, was ordered to lead the team to come. ”

"Zhang Chunniu, you are not from the first battalion now." Tao Chun hurriedly returned a military salute and said: "The first battalion and the second battalion have enclosed a piece of land on the north bank of the Xiaohei River and built a joint training ground...... You are an officer with combat experience, and the authorities have appointed you as the deputy general manager of the training camp provisional bureau, and you are my deputy, but I have to report first...... Fuck off! ”

Zhang Chunniu's mouth opened, wanting to grin, but he didn't feel very good, Tao Chun's temperament was rough and straight, and Zhang Chunniu was a little afraid of him.

"Your mother's ......" Tao Chun scolded: "If you want to laugh, just laugh, it's really uncomfortable to look like this." ”

Zhang Chunniu grinned at this time, this time he didn't salute, only hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your support." ”

"You're happy." Tao Chun said in a sullen voice: "Although it is said to be the deputy hundred general, but the battalion is to be expanded to more than ten or twenty battalions, how can the rank of the officer be completely equal to the soldiers?" According to the above idea, I estimate that he is in the barracks of the Bureau, and he will definitely be demoted in the War Division. ”

"It's better to talk about that time then." Zhang Chunniu said without hesitation: "If the official rank goes up first, the salary will naturally be much higher, even if it is demoted to the side of the soldiers in the future, the seniority must also be considered." ”

"Yes, you kid is a ghost, you fucking be Lao Tzu's deputy, and sooner or later you will cheat Lao Tzu's wife who is in the box."

"Mr. Bai, my subordinates will never dare to ......"

"Stop your mother's bullshit!"

Tao Chun scolded again, urging Zhang Chunniu to get out of here.

Zhang Chunniu said goodbye to Lu Dafu again, squeezed his eyebrows, and soon changed the flag captain logo on his chest to a silver horizontal bar...... Zhang Chunniu had already inquired, and the horizontal bar was really made of silver, and the texture made people feel very comfortable to the touch.

Lu Dafu returned the military salute, almost feeling a little depressed...... At the beginning, a person from the Bird Gun Banner Team, Li Shouxin was very respected by the superiors, and Sun Yao, the chief of staff, appreciated him very much, and he was also a Lingqiu miner, Li Shouxin was a military talent who was very favored by the top and bottom, and now Zhang Chunniu seems to be on the rise, and he is not meritorious, so he doesn't know whose way to go further?
