Chapter 681: So what if Huang Taiji comes? You can bite me if you have the ability!

(0681)

"Are you sure that Zhang Zhun is really on the boat?"

After Huang Taiji met his subordinates, the first sentence was like this.

This issue is very critical. The grain of thirty canal ships is not in the eyes of Huang Taiji. His status determines that he should pay attention to the goals of higher-level leaders. The grain of thirty canal ships, including food, boatmen, and ships, all of which are tens of thousands of taels of silver. He dispatched the vanguard camp to deal with thirty canal ships, and Huang Taiji could not afford to lose face.

In fact, even Du Hu Chan and others had their intentions to attack these thirty canal ships, but they had their own status. In the battle sequence of the Great Jin Kingdom, the Forward Battalion was the personal army of the Great Jin army and the most elite part of the Great Jin army. What they undertake was the most difficult combat task, and they would only enter the battle at the most critical moment.

The vanguard battalion of the Great Jin Kingdom came specifically for Zhang Zhun, not for looting. The looting mission was completed by other troops. The soldiers of the vanguard battalion wanted to deal with the most powerful part of the enemy, and to deal with the elites in the enemy. For example, it was specifically for dealing with Zhang Zhun.

Huang Taiji has already learned a little about the situation in the southern part of Hutuo River. Judging from the wounds of the dead Jin army warriors, the Hu Ben Army must have taken action. The number of Hu Ben Army, which was released from other channels, was very small in the southern part of Hutuo River, was only about a hundred people. Huang Taiji concluded that this active Hu Ben Army was the guards around Zhang Zhun and him.

Due to the influence of the Huben cavalry, Huang Taiji's surveillance of Dongjiabao had a small loophole. As a result, this small loophole was exploited by Zhang Zhun. Huang Taiji was still somewhat impressed by Zhang Zhun's courage and courage. Northern Zhili was full of Great Jin army cavalry and Mongolian cavalry. He actually dared to take about a hundred people to the south of the Hutuo River.

This courage is absolutely unmatched by the Ming Dynasty. If other generals of the Ming Dynasty had such courage, the Jin army would probably not even have the chance to gain a foothold in Shenyang. The biggest problem of the Ming army was that they did not have the determination and courage to fight and always wanted to passively avoid war. The result was that the more they fought, the weaker they became, and the less morale they were. Fighting for population and consumption, the ten thousand of the Jin army was not the opponent of the Ming army.

If Zhang Zhun was not on the canal ship, the Forward Battalion would be ridiculed by others if she actively dealt with the canal ship. Even if Hu Chan didn't mind, Huang Taiji would feel ashamed to see others. For the sake of thirty canal ships, hundreds of elite troops in the Forward Battalion were lost. If this matter was spread, Huang Taiji's position under his butt would be even more precarious.

Speaking of which, after the defeat of Dongjiabao, Huang Taiji could vaguely hear some rumors that were unfavorable to him. Some people who used to be very afraid of him are no longer so concerned. In the past, they did not dare to gather together publicly to discuss anything. Even if they gathered together privately, they were cautious and did not let Huang Taiji know. But now, they dared to come forward publicly, and the number of meetings in private has increased.

In this regard, the Mongolians were particularly obvious. Originally, the Mongolians surrendered to the Great Jin army to get benefits. But now, not only did they not get the benefits, but they lost a lot of people. This is also unacceptable for the Mongolians. The population of the Mongolians was not much greater than that of the Great Jin Kingdom. Even the Mongolians could not afford such losses.

Fortunately, due to the close marriage between the two sides, the main force of the Mongols, the Korqin tribe, was still very friendly and loyal to the Great Jin Kingdom. Under the pressure of the Korqin tribe, even if other Mongolian tribes have any other ideas, they dare not express them. However, even the dissatisfaction buried in the heart is also dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction will erupt under appropriate circumstances, resulting in fatal consequences.

Especially the Halashen tribe and the Tumot tribe strengthened their connections after the defeat of the battle, which meant to advance and retreat together. The leader of the Halashen tribe, Hadambatel, and Arislan, the leader of the Tumot tribe, were said to have secretly met near Boye. The two met for a full two days. The content of the meeting is unknown.

This is not a good thing for a 95th Lord. The Great Khan of the Great Jin Kingdom is completely different from the Han people. There is no such thing as establishing the eldest son and the legitimate ones. There are only those who are capable and those who are mediocre. If you do not have outstanding military achievements, you should never expect to be able to hold the position of Khan. This is the basic concept of the Great Jin Kingdom, and even Huang Taiji cannot be changed. Otherwise, he would not need to spend all his time creating opportunities for Haoge to make contributions.

The Great Jin army was defeated and its strength was greatly weakened. If the Mongols turned against each other at this time, Huang Taiji would be under great pressure. The only weakness of the Han people was that they were not good at riding and shooting. If the Han people mastered the power of riding and shooting, the end of the Great Jin Kingdom would come. Therefore, although we knew that Hardan Batel and Arislan were not good for him behind their backs, Huang Taiji could only pretend not to know anything. At present, it is not the time to find the two of them to be unlucky.

"Someone did see Zhang Zhun...but I didn't see it myself."

Du Hu Chan said honestly.

In front of Huang Taiji, he was absolutely honest. Whatever the truth was, it was like that.

"Who saw Zhang Zhun?"

"Bring him here!"

Huang Taiji asked with a frown.

He had to personally determine Zhang Zhun's existence. Otherwise, he would not easily order the vanguard battalion to launch an attack. The nature of the vanguard battalion is the personal soldiers of the Khan himself. He only listens to the Khan himself, and it has nothing to do with other banner masters. In other words, even if all the vanguards rise up to oppose themselves, as long as he controls the vanguard battalion, he will have the ability to fight against the vanguard masters.

After Huang Taiji came to power, he was committed to weakening the power of the banner masters. He concentrated all the elites of each banner into the vanguard camp and directly escaped from the control of the banner masters. Even the Zhengbai Banner under Dorgon's control, the most elite soldiers did not belong to Dorgon's command, but to Huang Taiji himself. Later, the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the power of the banner master to command the troops was directly abolished.

It is precisely for this reason that Huang Taiji cherishes the strength of the vanguard battalion very much and will not easily cause the vanguard battalion to suffer losses. Even if he is a great khan of the Great Jin Kingdom, it takes time, skill, and patience to concentrate the elite from other banner owners. In other words, the losses of the vanguard battalion will take a long time to make up for it.

Therefore, if Zhang Zhun was not on the grain ship, Huang Taiji would immediately turn around and leave, and then dispatch other troops to deal with these grain ships. The only person who could make the vanguard battalion launch a strong attack was Zhang Zhun himself. Even other Tiger Army troops did not have this qualification.

At this moment, someone hurried in and said a few words in Huang Taiji's ear.

Huang Taiji immediately waved his hand and frowned and said, "No need!"

Then he immediately rode his horse forward and rushed towards the canal.

Du Hu Chan and others were slightly stunned. What happened? They hurriedly turned over and followed Huang Taiji and ran towards the canal. After a while, they arrived at the canal, which was only five or six hundred meters away from Zhang Zhun's fleet.

I only saw Huang Taiji riding a horse near the canal, holding up a thousand-mile mirror, and carefully looking at the canal. Someone just reported to him that it was Zhang Zhun who appeared on the canal. The figure of Huang Taiji is now looking for is Zhang Zhun. He wants to personally confirm whether Zhang Zhun is really above the canal, just under his nose.

"Zhang Zhun!"

Suddenly, Huang Taiji said fiercely.

That's right, the person who appeared on the canal ship was indeed Zhang Zhun.

He actually had never seen Zhang Zhun with his own eyes. However, he believed that the person on the canal boat was Zhang Zhun. There was no reason. It was purely Huang Taiji's own judgment and intuition, a kind of intuition of being a good man. He believed that if Zhang Zhun held the Mirror of a Thousand Mile, he would definitely find him in the crowd.

"Zhang Zhun is indeed on the ship!"

Huang Taiji said with a gloomy face.

Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Huang Taiji saw Zhang Zhun with his own eyes, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome and I don’t know how to explain it clearly. The Forward Battalion is different from other Great Jin troops and cannot be used for testing. The warriors in the Forward Battalion are all elites among the elites. One of them will be a huge loss. Hu Chan’s previous losses have already caused the Forward Battalion to be very injured.

However, after a sigh of relief, everyone felt a huge problem. When the Jin army flocked to him, Zhang Zhun actually showed up in public. What does this mean? Damn, this is not showing his face, this is intentional provocation! Even though he knew that Huang Taiji was coming, Zhang Zhun deliberately showed himself. Isn't this trying to deliberately stimulate Huang Taiji?

In an instant, all the personnel of the Great Jin army were extremely angry. Zhang Zhun cheated the Great Jin army when he was in Dongjiabao, making all the Great Jin army afraid of him. Now, Zhang Zhun appeared in the canal again, and no matter how he looked, it seemed a bit strange. Could it be that Zhang Zhun was planning to cheat the Great Jin army again? By the way, Hu Chan was indeed cheated before. Hundreds of people died in the vanguard camp, which was a huge loss.

"Who has a way to intercept Zhang Zhun?"

Huang Taiji put down the Qianli Mile Mile and asked with a gloomy face.

Like others, Huang Taiji felt that Zhang Zhun's sudden appearance was also provoking him. In Dongjiabao, Zhang Zhun did not dare to provoke the Jin army like this. In this small river ditch on the canal, he actually dared to do this. It can be seen that he really did not take the Great Jin Kingdom, the Great Jin army, and even Huang Taiji seriously.

Because he arrived in a hurry, he was afraid that Zhang Zhun would fly away from Dezhou City, so Huang Taiji did not carry heavy weapons such as cannons, and naturally there were no such things as trenchers. Without these heavy weapons, he could not directly sink the canal ship. Hu Chan had tried it before riding and shooting, but it was useless, but he took his life in vain.

However, Huang Taiji was unwilling to see Zhang Zhun rampage in this small canal! In the past, Zhang Zhun was on the sea, and the cavalry of the Great Jin Kingdom could not do anything to him. Now, just such a small river is far from the sea. The tiger army's grain ships are not pure warships. If this is the case, Zhang Zhun cannot do anything to him. He, the great knight of the Great Jin Kingdom, is indeed a bit awkward!

what to do?

what to do?

what to do?

Jiergalang and others look at me, and I look at you, but I can't think of any good ideas for a while. The Jin army's best skills are riding and shooting. If riding and shooting is useless, other aspects will definitely be even worse.

The officers of the vanguard camp around him, look at me, and look at you, and can't come up with any good ideas. Before this, I'm afraid no one would have thought that such a small river ditch would make the Great Jin Kingdom so embarrassed.

Tens of thousands of vanguard soldiers stared at the thirty canals in the canal, waiting for the orders above, and then launched a fierce attack. However, they waited for a long time, but they did not wait for any orders. At this moment, all the senior officials of the Great Jin Kingdom seemed to be mute.

Changshengtian did not understand the nature of water, which led to his believers who also did not understand the nature of water. For the Great Jin army, as long as it involved water issues, there were huge troubles. In the long history, the combat effectiveness of the iron cavalry in the north would be seriously weakened when they arrived in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. It can be seen that water is indeed not good for the cavalry.

However, no matter how unfavorable it is, it will have to be cut off Zhang Zhun. Otherwise, even such a small river will make the warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom unable to cross over. Should we continue to fight in the future? It has been confirmed that Zhang Zhun is indeed on the ship. In order to eliminate Zhang Zhun's disaster, even if the striker battalion pays a certain price, it is worth it.

"Is there no way?"

Huang Taiji's face became even more gloomy.

It's so fatal! I can't do anything to Zhang Zhun like this?

After a long time, Mu Cheng'er, the commander of the Red Banner of the Forward Battalion, said: "Shan, maybe throwing the wood into the water can stop Zhang Zhun from moving forward?"

Jirgalang encouraged, "How do you say it? You can tell me in detail."

Mu Cheng'e hurriedly explained: "We can't think of a better way for the time being. Use this method first to slow down the speed of Zhang Zhun's fleet, so that he can stay on the ship for more time and cannot quickly retreat into Texas City. Perhaps, we will be able to think of a better way in a while."

Li Sanbao, the commander of the Red Flag of the Forward Camp, said: "Isn't there an iron chain? What did the Han people say..."

Jirgalang frowned and said, "The Qianxun iron lock sinks to the bottom of the river, and a stone descends from the flag."

Li Sanbao grinned and said, "Yes! That's what you said!"

Jirgalang frowned and said, "Where are we going to find such a long iron chain now?"

Li Sanbao said helplessly: "I just make a suggestion, if not, forget it."

Jirgalang nodded and said nothing.

The other senior Tartar officials didn't say anything.

For them, it is no problem to start a war. Even if the other party has a solid wall, as long as there is an order on it, they will pounce on it like crazy until they kill the enemy, or be killed by the enemy. It will be troublesome to use their brains. There may be less than 10% of the slave chiefs present who know how to use their brains.

Jirgalang looked at Huang Taiji helplessly. Seeing his eyes flashing slightly, he had no better idea, so he whispered: "Shank you, it's better to throw away the wood first to stop Zhang Zhun from moving forward."

There is not much wood on both sides of the canal, so you have to look for it nearby. To be precise, you have to remove the beams of the houses. Only these huge woods can pose a certain threat to Zhang Zhun. There is no difference between ordinary small wood and ordinary canal garbage. To do this, you must hurry up.

In fact, the biggest difficulty of this suggestion is how to throw wood into the canal. Everyone knows that as long as you get close to the canal, you will definitely be shot by the Hu Ben Army. The vanguard camp is full of precious eggs, and Huang Taiji is reluctant to suffer any damage. If you are beaten to death and injured by the Hu Ben Army in order to throw wood, it is also very heartbreaking.

Mu Cheng'e added: "We throw wood in front, and there should be no serious trouble in places where Zhang Zhun's fleet has not yet arrived. If Zhang Zhun's fleet comes up, we will be cautious to retreat. If the amount of wood is not enough, the stones and bricks are good."

Zhang Zhun's fleet is about ten miles away from Dezhou City. The fleet sailed slowly in this ten miles, which took about two hours. Two hours was enough for the Jin army of the Forward Battalion to do a lot of things. Of course, time must be seized.

"Everyone collects wood!"

Huang Taiji quickly made up his mind and said slowly.

Mu Cheng'e's method is actually not good. It cannot fundamentally block Zhang Zhun's fleet. However, there is no other better method in front of him, so he had to take this temporarily. Throwing wood into the water can effectively reduce the speed of the canal ship sailing. If not, it can even crash one or two canal ships. Perhaps, it can indeed cause a little trouble for Zhang Zhun. At this time, no matter what method is, as long as it is used, it is good.

With the order, all the soldiers of the Forward Battalion took action immediately. They demolished a large number of houses from nearby villages and towns, removed beams and other things, then moved them to the bank of the canal, and then smashed them into the water. A large amount of wood was smashed into the water, and the calm water of the canal soon became agitated. When Zhang Zhun's fleet arrived, a lot of wood was floating on the water surface of the Grand Canal.

The sailing canal boats kept hitting the wood, making a bang bang sound. Speaking of which, the enthusiasm of the Tartar Forefront Battalion was indeed very high and working efficiently. In a very short time, hundreds of wood were thrown into the canal. Fortunately, the water flowed very slowly and the wood flowed very slowly. If it were on the Yangtze River, the rolling wood would have smashed the bow of the boat long ago.

Although Wang Shide had some strategic vision and had more knowledge than others, he had no practical experience. When he found that a large amount of wood on the canal blocked the ships from moving forward, he couldn't help but start to worry and said a little uneasy: "Sir, the water is full of wood, what should I do?"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "It's okay, let the Tartars make trouble."

The floating wood on the water does have a certain impact on the canal boat. However, if there are many effects, it may not be necessary. After all, in such a short time, the number of wood thrown in by the Tartars was limited. Moreover, these woods were not fixed, and the canal boat could push the wood away as long as it was careful.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Of course, the Hu Ben Army must resolutely fight back against the Tatars' actions.

Want to throw wood into the canal comfortably? That is absolutely impossible. Don’t appear within the range of the Hu Ben gun, otherwise, you will just wait for a gun. It is definitely your mistake if you don’t come with a cannon!

Gao Yu, Zhang Yin and others, who were at the forefront, kept firing and shooting, shooting any Tartars trying to get close to the bank of the canal. The range and accuracy of the Tiger Ben gun ensured the successful completion of this task. All Tartars near both sides of the canal were attacked by Minni bullets without hesitation. Some Tartars were unlucky and were flirted to the ground on the spot.
