Chapter 18 The Destruction of the Sin Barracks
On March night, the cold air was biting, and a team of torches were marching silently. From a distance, the fire dragon lined up for more than a mile. The scholar rode on a snow-white horse. Behind him was a team of personal guards and the flag bearers of the central army. Since it was not during the war, everyone threw heavy armor on the battalion trailer, wearing only coarse cotton coats, but the toughness of these people could not be concealed...
The Sin Army Camp was not among the soldiers registered by the court, Yang Bo simply asked the Sin Army Camp to station in Jinzhou. On the one hand, it strengthened the defense of Jinzhou and on the other hand, it also prevented the auditors from being entangled. After receiving the secret order from the adults, the scholar did not dare to neglect them. After ticking up the troops, he rushed to the road. Lushun was only more than 150 miles away from Jinzhou. The Sin Army Camp was marching for two days and was expected to arrive at Jinzhou at noon tomorrow. Because it was a normal transfer and the Jinzhou area was stable for a long time, the scholar wanted to make the marching more effective.
The job is simple. This time, I didn’t bring any auxiliary soldiers or camping equipment. I only had a dozen trailers. More than 1,200 people from the three companies in the Crime Barracks were soldiers. They brought fried rice and dried food that was enough to support the consumption of five days. This fried rice was a common dry food in the Ming Dynasty. It would be carried with me every time I marched, but these supplies were not useful on the way. The dough cakes and dried meat she carried were enough to deal with a few meals. When they arrived in Jinzhou, these fried rice that the soldiers didn’t like to eat would be returned to the logistics department.
The scholar was surrounded by military discipline officer Qiu Moutong. He was in his thirties and joined the Sin Military Camp after pacifying Qipan'ao. There were few old bandits who had lived for the rest of their lives in the Sin Military Camp. The ones left behind were all backbones in the Sin Military Camp. Qiu Moutong killed people like a lot, and after becoming a military discipline officer, he even had a face all day long. It seemed that others were his enemies who killed his father. Although the scholar did not like him, he could do nothing. The military discipline officers of each battalion were directly under the jurisdiction of Tieniu, the military discipline officers of the military department. The scholar could not control him at all.
Behind the two was the instructor Tan Xinghua, a little guy who talked a lot of nonsense, said that he was a disciple of a scholar. Of course, this was just a wishful thinking of a scholar. If there were too many teachers in a private school, it was not the turn of a scholar to show off. However, Tan Xinghua was more approachable and liked to chat with soldiers at the bottom of the class if he had nothing to do.
The scholar looked at the fire dragon that could not be seen at first sight. While lowering his head to think about his own thoughts...
The organization of the Sin Military Camp was very complicated, with two nominal chief officers, Duzi and himself. However, in actual combat, Yang Bo's orders often passed by himself and Duzi and sent them to the veteran company commander and deputy chief officer of the Sin Military Camp. This situation made the scholar complain. I heard that the adults had already had the idea of reorganizing the Thunder Brigade system. The first thing to be hit was the Sin Military Camp.
After pacifying Pi Island, the Sin Army camp added nearly 600 Dongjiang soldiers, and the war soldiers expanded to more than 1,200 people in history. With more people and their organization expanded, as the chief official, his status will naturally increase in the future. However, the scholar was a little nervous. He was not as good as a calf in terms of intimacy, and he was not even as good as an old cannon in terms of command ability. Will the adults take up the position of chief official called the "Iron Fist Brigade" after the reform?
The scholar was unsure...
Although the training time of the recruits was not long, they were still divided into three teams strictly according to the requirements of the usual queue. In front of the central army was the new company led by Duzi as the vanguard. The battalion's sentry cavalry were all given to Duzi and others. These sentry cavalry were scattered in front of the forward and on the left and right roads. Any abnormal news would be rewarded continuously. However, due to the inconvenience of detectives at night, the sentry cavalry was placed a mile away.
The scholar led the new second company and the battalion's personnel, such as the Medical Department, the Course Department, the Transport Department, and other units, to form the central army. Behind the central army, there were veteran companies led by old cannons as the rear army. According to the military requirements of the Thunder Brigade, each battalion marched in the field one after another on a regular basis. If an enemy was found during the march and the head and tail were connected, it could quickly form a circular formation to protect itself, which was much more flexible than forming a square formation.
"Where did you go?" The scholar's eyes flew over Qiu Moutong and asked Tan Xinghua behind him.
Tan Xinghua looked at the sky, muttered a few words to the people around him before answering: "Sir, you're almost at the Tushi Fort."
The scholar was a little distracted, and after a long time, he realized: "Ah? I've arrived at Tushi Fort, so I can go to Jinzhou for dinner at noon today?"
Tan Xinghua smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that Liu Dahu sent a letter and said that he killed a few sheep and waited for us. It would be so beautiful to drink a few sips of hot mutton soup in this weather."
When they heard the food, the atmosphere around them became warm and everyone started to talk and laugh loudly, and even the soldiers marching on torches became brisk.
Ten miles west of the official road in the south of Jinzhou City, Haoge leaned behind the mound and exhaled a chill, and said to Jiala Zhangjing behind him: "Let them take off their ties, all come down to rest for a while, keep the horsepower, and do not make loud noises."
The Jiala Zhangjing nodded and turned away. Haoge looked at the nearby environment. It was a barren slope with weeds around. There was a small path in the ravine leading to the official road. On March night, various insects and birds were chirping on the barren mountains, which covered up some noise. Occasionally, some large animals could be seen running in panic after being frightened.
The army ran all the way from Fuzhou. Although the warriors in the flag were all one man, two horses or three horses, the people and horses were extremely tired after running for two days. In addition, they had to avoid the Ming army's whistle along the way. Everyone was a little nervous. Haoge turned around and then looked at the faint starlight, and there were heavy white air everywhere.
Haoge suppressed the excitement in his heart and recalled Khan Ama's combat intention again. The whistle cavalry that explored the road has not returned yet. He needs more information to take the next move...
At this moment, the distance of the official road suddenly flashed, and the abnormality was soon discovered.
"Silence!"
"Silence your voice and kill me immediately!"
Several Bai Zhuyala ordered in a low voice, and Haoge whispered to his guards: "Go and investigate a few people, don't show your tracks loudly!"
After a while, the whistle cavalry returned, saying that it was a group of Ming troops who rushed to the road overnight. It seemed that the direction should be in the direction of Jinzhou. In fact, there was no need for whistle cavalry to say more. Haoge and Zhongzhangjing had already seen the long dragon-like torch...
Haoge suddenly became embarrassed. The order given to him by Khan Ama was to bypass Jinzhou and launch an extermination offensive against the Tun Fort built by Yang Bo in the isthmus of Jinzhou. He used the advantages of the cavalry to turn Yang Bo's rear to overturn, but there was no order to let him fight against the Ming army. Especially the Ming army under Yang Bo's troops, which had fierce firearms!
"Master, what should I do? Should I wait until they leave before taking action?" A Mongolian Jiala Zhangjing asked secretly, and the white mist sprayed was filled with the smell of cattle and sheep.
Haoge frowned and said, "No hurry, check the situation first and then make a decision."
The sky began to turn white slowly, and the Ming army was very fast. In just half an hour, the vanguard had finished. Haoge and others had a rough judgment on the Ming army based on the rewards of the whistle cavalry.
"It's the sin military camp! They seem to be temporarily mobilizing, not much baggage. They didn't even bring any artillery, master!" Several Jiala Zhangjing's faces began to be excited.
Haoge nodded and suppressed his excitement. There was no doubt that this Ming army had never thought that there would be an ambush outside Jinzhou City. Moreover, they were already very familiar with the Sin Military Camp. Most of the Sin Military Camp were swords and shield soldiers. They were not equipped with muskets at all!
"Fight! Must fight!" Haoge made up his mind: "Send a whistle cavalry to contact us. Let the Yellow Banner siege besiege Jinzhou, we are ready to take action!"
The Mongolian Zhangjing added: "If we let them go halfway and then attack in one fell swoop, the formation of the Ming army will definitely be in chaos, but the Ming army under Yang Bo's troops should not scatter, but form a round formation to defend and wait for assistance, so the slaves estimate that we will trap them here."
Haoge nodded and said, "Yes. Although the Sin Army will form a formation, their spears cannot be opened in other places. So I judged that they would not fight on both sides. In addition, the Ming army had no supplies, so our cavalry would cut off their connection with Jinzhou and Nanguan, and then it depends on when they collapsed!"
The Zhang Jing said again: "Why should you trap them to death by your master? If you open a hole in the direction of Nanguan..."
Haoge was slightly stunned, then nodded happily.
On March 25, Yang Bo was having dinner with Yun Niang and Chen Bilian when he suddenly came to report, saying that the Lushun Tie Niu had arrived urgently. Yang Bo didn't care, but after opening it, he looked at it twice, his face suddenly turned white, and a thin piece of paper quietly fell to the ground!
This incident scared everyone. Chen Bilian asked for some reason: "What's wrong?"
Yun Niang was clever and quickly picked up the urgent report on the ground, and immediately said with a trembling voice: "How could this happen?"
The urgent report said in shock: "Brother, the big thing is not good. The criminal camp was hiding twenty miles away from Jinzhou. Except for the chief scholar and the instructor Tan Xinghua and others, all of them were destroyed! Jinzhou was besieged, and the Tartar slaves attacked very urgently. He Jiubing, the young man in Nanguan, dare not rescue him, and I dare not send troops to rescue him easily. Come back quickly..."
"Notify the ship to prepare, I will rush back to Lushun overnight." Yang Bo endured the fainting on his head and ordered Xiao Wu to say goodbye
Yun Niang knew that the matter was of great importance, so she quickly put a fox fur coat on Yang Bo and said, "It's over, don't be anxious..."
Yang Bo grabbed Yun Niang's hand and said dryly: "I originally wanted to relax with you, but now."
Yun Niang nodded and stared at Yang Bo and said, "My grandpa should put state affairs first, and Yun Niang should pay attention to it."
Chen Bilian muttered: "Wang Zao, that bastard, the girl went to chop him up and she still has the face to come back!"
On March 28, Yang Bo rushed back to Lushun, and Tieniu brought everyone to greet the pier. There was a group of very powerful officials on the pier, which seemed to be waiting for him.
"Mr. Yang? General Yang?" Huang Shiyun ran over while waving.
"Go and tell these adults that the Tartar slaves besieged Jinzhou, and a large number of Tartar slave whistle cavalry were found in the direction of Lushun. If you are not afraid of death, follow me." Yang Bo said calmly to Li Weiluan who was running over and said with a serious face.
Li Weiluan was stunned and quickly grabbed Huang Shiyun's sleeve. Several people stopped and began to discuss.
"How could this happen?" Yang Bo asked while walking.
"The slave chief Emperor Taiji personally led two yellow flags to siege Jinzhou, while the slave chief Haoge secretly bypassed Jinzhou. The military camp received the transfer order and originally moved to defend Jinzhou, but unexpectedly..." Tie Niu replied hesitantly.
"How is the situation in Jinzhou? Can Liu Dahu withstand it?" Yang Bo asked anxiously.
"Slave Chief, the Slave Chief has withdrawn his troops" Tien Niu replied
"What?"
Yang Bo suddenly stopped and said sternly: "Have you withdrawn? What does Huang Taiji want to do?"
Tie Niu shook his head, and everyone behind him was confused. Wang Xiaoyu stepped forward and said, "Based on the actions of Haoge's troops, the General Staff judged this way. The Tatar slaves used the strategy of fighting against the west. Huang Taiji personally besieged Jinzhou and secretly sent Haoge's light cavalry to burn, kill and rob, preparing to clear the resettlement sites in my fortresses one by one. Unexpectedly, Unexpectedly, the Sin Army Camp happened to hit the grounds..."
When I arrived at the Lushun Guerrilla Mansion, there was a person kneeling alone outside the mansion. The scholar covered his face and lay on the ground, not daring to speak.
"Where are calfs, old cannons, where are they? Where are they?" Yang Bo asked tremblingly at the scholar and pointed to the scholar.
The scholar covered his face and just cried.
"You, you, you..."
Yang Bo suddenly felt a dizzy moment, and he pointed at the scholar with his fingers, "I have repeatedly told you that your brother is reckless by nature and is desperate every time. I specially arranged for you to come to the military camp to be the chief officer. You, you did a good job, okay!... Are you going to piss me to death?"
Yang Bo's voice suddenly stopped, and Tie Niu shouted in panic: "Brother? Brother?"
"Master Bi, where is Master Bi?"
"Military doctor, look for a military doctor! The sir has fainted!"
The scholar raised his head in shock, but saw that the people around Yang Bo were already in a mess, and they were all running around in panic. He was so chaotic that he could only see Yang Bo's legs hanging softly on the ground.
The scholar cried loudly, and walked up to hug Yang Bo's legs. Tien Niu kicked him away and bent down. Several military men carried Yang Bo's body and placed it carefully on Tien Niu's back. Tien Niu spread his legs and ran towards the military doctor.
I heard that Yang Bo fainted and the whole army was shocked... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
