Chapter 134 Race against time
There is no suspense in the battle at Shaling.
Li Dingguo, who was as wise as a sea, first sent a scout brigade, led by T34, and walked around the back of the mountain road. The crossbow in his hand and the enemy scattered after several rounds of volleys.
After eliminating the crisis of the enemy setting fire to the mountains, Li Dingguo led the army to start a siege.
The dead soldiers of this family can still fight against the enemy in a single-on-one situation, but under the siege of a well-trained army, they have no ability to resist at all.
What's more, the enemy they faced was the Guards armed to the teeth?
As a result, there was no doubt that the entire battle process was no more than a quarter of an hour, and most of the dead soldiers were killed or injured.
According to His Majesty the Emperor, the dead soldiers raised by such families, like the servants of military generals, have no possibility of transformation.
Not only are they unable to be transformed, but they are also extremely dangerous, and they cannot even be reincarnated as labor reform teams.
Li Dingguo simply ordered them to be executed together, including the wounded and prisoners.
He hadtily ordered the soldiers to dig a big hole and bury the bodies. Li Dingguo led the soldiers, led by the mutant big dog T34, and soon met with Zhu Youxiao.
The army continued to march towards Zhangjiakou in the north for a moment.
...
It was already evening, and Heiyunlong and his four sons Hei Mingdao, Hei Mingde, Hei Mingren and Hei Mingyi were only released from Wanquan Right Guard and returned to Xuanfu Town at the moment of Shen Shi.
He also had 1,500 cavalrymen following him, and the sound of horse hooves passed by, dust and smoke rose everywhere.
Since ancient times, no one in power has ever carried out vigorous governance of the great northwest of the Ming Empire, and there is wind and sand everywhere.
This situation has become increasingly serious when humans live in the Northwest region in large numbers and reproduce.
Before coal, natural gas and electricity were used extensively by humans, every household consumed enough wood and haystacks every year to fill a yard dozens of feet in radius.
So what about a thousand people?
Where are ten thousand people?
Or maybe one hundred thousand people?
In places like the Northwest where water sources are relatively sparse and rainfall are less, it does not take a hundred years to cut down trees within a radius of tens of miles.
In this way, a vicious cycle was formed, with fewer and fewer flowers, plants and trees, and the rain also decreased accordingly, the river channel became more and more dry, and there were more and more desertified places.
In the past, the Great Northwest in the Han and Tang dynasties was not like this.
At that time, the northwest was full of lush and green mountains, forests and grasslands.
However, as humans cut down without any taboos, they cut down all the flowers, plants and trees of all sizes, causing a large amount of soil erosion, and the environment became worse and worse, and gradually declined.
During the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, most of the northwest areas began to desertify, with wind and sand all over the sky.
In recent years, as the climate changes become increasingly greater, even if it is just spring, people have to wear headscarves when traveling far away, so as not to be covered in dust and dust caused by the wind and sand in the sky.
Therefore, it is unimaginable that the upper-scale army would want to march rapidly in most parts of the northwest.
Just like the current Black Cloud Dragon father and son, they were rushing along with 1,500 cavalry soldiers, and the smoke and dust raised could be seen ten miles away.
The army was speeding all the way, and the Black Cloud Dragon was in a bad mood.
Early this morning, he received cavalry from the Mongolian tribe and came to harass the military newspaper on the side wall. He did not dare to neglect and immediately set off with his four sons and subordinates who were staying in Xuanfu Town.
As a result, when I went to Zhangjiakou area to check, I found that the cavalry of the Mongolian tribes had already headed towards Wanquan Right Guard.
Worried that the side wall would be broken, he turned around and ran towards Wanquan Right Guard.
Who knew that as soon as he led his troops to the Wanquan Right Guard, he received a military report that the damn Mongolian tribal cavalry actually turned around and left!
Is this because I have nothing to do after eating, so I went out to take a walk of the soldiers of the Ming border soldiers?
Or did you come out to reconnaise? Want to hit the side wall again?
No matter which possibility it is, Heiyunlong is not angry.
Let me tease myself, the general of Xuanfu Town, for a while?
Damn it! Don’t find a chance for me, otherwise, I will have to loot this Mongolian tribe!
Therefore, the Black Cloud Dragon, who was in a very depressed mood, said nothing on the way home, and his face turned as dark as black charcoal.
Heiyunlong has extremely strict family education. What he has always believed in is "a filial son comes from a stick."
Therefore, when he saw his father not saying a word, his face was as heavy as water, the brothers Hei Mingdao did not dare to say anything, and he led the cavalry soldiers and rushed towards the direction of Xuanfu Town.
Just as we were about to arrive at Ningyuan Station Fort, the scout team in front suddenly responded:
"General!"
The Pegasus galloped to the captain in front of the Black Cloud Dragon, immediately turned over and dismounted, shouting anxiously, "The Ningyuan Station Fort ahead has been captured by a large group of soldiers in black-clad black armor!"
"I left a few scouts to observe them, and immediately returned the general!"
"What?"
Heiyunlong was shocked, "What did you say? Ningyuan Station Fort was actually captured by an unknown army?"
He really couldn't believe that near Xuanfu Town, there would be a large army that could hide from him and quietly captured an important military fortress.
"Who are they? Where are they from? Where are they?"
He asked three times in a daze, and spit out from the Black Cloud Dragon's big mouth one after another.
There is no way not to be confused. This emergency is really a bit outrageous.
"General, look at their entire army wearing black clothes and black armor, not to mention fully armed, there is also a cavalry brigade of 6,000 people. I guess..."
"It is probably the legendary new imperial army coming!"
This scout captain has heard of the extremely mysterious new army of the imperial court over the past period.
Therefore, he became wise in a hurry and thought of this only possibility.
Indeed, if you do not have enough financial support, it is a fantasy to see an army of about 30,000 people in this era, with a large army of cavalry and artillery following you.
Such a fully armed army costs at least millions of taels of silver!
The most important thing is that even if there is enough money and no complete logistics equipment department, it will not be able to create such a strong soldier.
Not to mention the war horses with more than 10,000 horses, they have money and can't buy so many war horses.
"New Army of the Court?"
Heiyunlong also thought of something, his eyes lit up, and then he wanted to continue asking about the specific details of the scout captain.
Chapter completed!
