Chapter five hundred and fiftieth piercing heart

When Acheng saw Tabu Nang coming from miles away, gradually becoming clear from a small dot. When he was about ten steps away, Tabu Nang bowed and said loudly, "I've seen Taiji."

Acheng nodded and said to Tabunang: "The situation in Qingcheng is quite stable, but I heard that Toboke and a group of Taiji wandered between the major plate-sing lands. They went to Qingcheng first, and after the army returned, they escaped. Now my Tumote tribes can no longer be trapped in civil strife, and Toboke... cannot stay."

A Cheng showed murderous aura on his face and said to Tabu Nang: "You must find the place where Toboke and others are. After I return to the army, the first thing I do is to wipe them out."

Tabuang's face remained motionless and said, "Taiji means that the cause of Khan's death must not be leaked? But I heard that Toboke and others are already promoting this matter."

A Chengdao: "What is the use of what the dead say?"

Acheng was a little upset. The things are now messy. After returning, he had to deal with Toboke and others. It was very difficult to chase the enemy on the grassland. He couldn't get it and he had to chase thousands of miles away. The soldiers were tired and didn't know if it could be easily achieved!

Tabu Nang nodded thoughtfully. Seeing this, Ah Cheng waved his hand, meaning Tabu Nang retreated. At this time, he suddenly felt a chill of heart. When he looked down, he saw an iron spear inserted into his chest. The spear head had passed through his body, and only half of the spear body was still left outside.

Ah Cheng saw the spear in Tabu Bag's hand, and he stared and said, "What do you mean?"

Tabunang said, "It was me who killed Dahan that day. If you kill Toboke and others, you will be able to clean yourself up if you push this matter to me. We can't beat the Han people. You are still calculating intra-fighting all day long. With a useless Taiji like you, we Mongolians will be defeated by the Han people."

Acheng stared at him without saying a word, bleeding was already spurting out of his mouth. Tabusang pulled the iron spear, and Acheng fell down like a sack.

At this time, Acheng's guards realized that something was wrong. Tabunan had already run away. The guards chased after him. Tabunan took off the bow and arrow and twisted it back. After he shot the two of them, the guards felt that they were no match for him and gradually slowed down the horse speed and then Tabunan rode his horse away.

After running for more than ten miles, seeing that there was only grass around and no one was found, Tabun slowed down and asked the war horse to rest. He frowned and thought carefully for a long time, then finally pulled the horse's head and slowly ran towards the east.

...

"Brother Zunlu, Brother Zhizhi, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Zhang Han was covered in spring breeze and smiled happily.

There was a light snow the day before yesterday, and the weather suddenly changed from late summer and early autumn to cold winter. The temperature at night had reached about ten degrees below zero. However, above the grassland, this temperature was just the beginning of winter.

In October of the second year of the Tianqi period, winter came quietly, but He Yusheng's management on the grassland was completely opposite to the weather, and it was the time to be in full swing.

Zhang Han was happy. Sun Jingting and Li Shenming were following Liang Xing, Wang Changfu, Duoer, Yang Sisun, Li Laibin, Wang Yikui and other senior generals. Only Li Congye and Zhu Dayong were still stationed in the areas of Xiaoheihe Fort and Xinghe Fort. Now they are not guarding against the Tumot Twelve tribes, but the forces of Taukou and Kalaqin tribes.

When the Mongolian army withdrew, although they were careful and used many elite soldiers to Acheng to cut off the rear. Who knew that He Yusheng had made arrangements in advance. The two sides were not of the same level in military dispatch, and were far from intelligence collection. When the Mongolian army moved, Zhang Han immediately knew the direction and general route of each unit, the number of people and the approximate locations of the troops. He dispatched the army based on the intelligence, assembled all cavalry, and attacked Xi Lingse's main force, Beilu, and then defeated Bai Yintaiji's front team. Now the Tumote army, the entire Dingkou is estimated to be only 60,000 to 70,000 people, and a large number of Ding Zhuang were either killed or fled. The remaining strength of Tumote was no longer enough to launch a battle against He Yusheng next year, and the situation has completely reversed.

Next year's goal has changed from expanding the army to defeating Tumote after expanding the army, defeating Tumote and completely conquering Guihua City, suppressing the Tao Division and Kalaqin Division.

When Zhang Han was in a good mood, he jumped off his horse and greeted Sun Jingting and Li Shenming. He hugged the two of them together with a bear hug.

Li Shenming was the first to be unable to bear it and shouted: "Wen Lan, there is no need to be such Tartar etiquette in his territory, right?"

Sun Jingting said with a stern face: "Wenlan, I heard that my little sister is going to give birth... When will you go back to Lizhuang?"

Zhang Han laughed and let go of his arms to help. The officers present laughed out loud.

Li Gui in the officer group glanced at Zhang Shixiong and others, and indeed saw a group of young officers all turned pale.

Only then did everyone understand how close Zhang Han was to these two "men"? It was completely a feeling of placing one's heart and regarding it as a right-hand man.

In fact, Li Shenming and Sun Jingting lived up to their responsibilities. The two sides of the east and west were very good. In the last battle, Sun Jingting presided over the infantry team with the cooperation of the chariot formation and artillery, directly defeated the front team of the Northern Rei retreating troops. Xi Lingse and others had to flee far north. With the previous presidency, Sun Jingting and Li Shenming truly had the prestige to control one situation in the army.

"There is still something here." Zhang Han explained to Sun Jingting: "I received a letter from Li Zhuang a few days ago. The surrounding Wu Po had already found a few of the most experienced ones in Li Zhuang, and there were also military doctors to cooperate. To be honest, I can't help much after I go back."

That being said, Zhang Han's face did reveal a mixed look of regret and worry.

Yu Niang wants to have a child, which is an absolute life-and-death juncture for women in this era. The mortality rate is very high, difficult labor, postpartum infection, and bleeding. In this era, they are all terminal illnesses. Whether it is a doctor or a stable woman who delivers her baby, they are powerless.

Only then did Zhang Han feel deeply that the so-called progress of modern medicine has really eliminated a lot of pain... For example, it is hard for him to imagine what would happen if Yu Niang could not survive this level?

Zhang Han's expression was clearly seen by Sun Jingting and Li Shenming. Sun Jingting was a little dissatisfied, but at this time he became uneasy. He waved his hand and said to Zhang Han: "I have also received a letter. My family said that some of the stable wives said that Yu Niang is in good health and long-term martial arts practice is conducive to childbirth, so you don't have to worry."

Zhang Han nodded, put away his thoughts, turned around and got on the horse again. At this time, Wang Changfu rode his horse over and shouted: "Sir, the troops have been assembled, please review it!"

"good!"

Zhang Han only answered briefly, and Wang Changfu and others made the way to the side. In front of Zhang Han, on the vast grassland and above the military fort of Jining Fort, an army of more than 10,000 people had spread across the board. Behind him was the boundless grassland. Before the yellow dead grass and the snow that had not yet melted were all merchants in gray military robes.

There were more than a thousand cavalry, half of the chest-clad cavalry and half of the armored cavalry, and more than a thousand infantry, 70% of them were musketeers and spearmen, and about 30% of the jumping warriors. The proportion of combat soldiers was somewhat large. However, in the last battle commanded by Sun Jingting, the jumping warriors performed very well, which was impressive. They also won greater honors. Many combat soldiers were sent to participate in this military parade held in Jining Fort.

The remaining seven thousand people were artillery, a chariot formation composed of baggage soldiers and baggage soldiers. More than 100 large chariots were placed in the formation, with signs inserted in front of the carriage, and one side of the carriage door opened, and various artillery was placed in front of everyone.

In the past few months, Lizhuang's firearms bureau has not been idle. A large number of artillery, especially the tiger squat cannons and the Folang machine. The former weighs dozens of kilograms, while the latter's small sample and medium sample Bolang machine do not weigh more than 200 kilograms, which are easy to cast and are produced in large quantities, and are sent forward continuously. Especially after the road is opened, the forts have received sufficient supplements, and the number of artillery has increased greatly. This is also the origin of the beginning of the power of the baggage and chariot array. In the early days, due to insufficient artillery, the chariot array was only a supplement to the defensive array. After a large number of chariots were equipped with artillery, the chariot array had the functions of both offensive and defensive, and it did perform well in the war.

The Red Cannons were cast in more than twenty in the past few months. Adding to the previous numbers, the number of cannons in Heyusheng has exceeded forty, which is a very terrifying number.

Although more than 70% of these artillery guns are four-pound cannons, only a small number of six-pound cannons, and a few nine-pound cannons, the more artillery guns are cast, and the craftsmen are becoming more and more skillful. The artillery is cast in large quantities, but they are not fully equipped... Although the training of new recruits and officers of artillery is the top priority of Li Zhuang, the training speed of officers and gunners is still far from the speed of casting artillery guns. In this matter, Zhang Han has tried his best to solve it, but it still takes time.

Chan and others were already escorted to Lizhuang in advance, and they were also training gunners here, but Zhang Han felt that putting these white-skinned men in Lizhuang was more effective, and they were more suitable for playing a role in the Firearms Bureau and the Officer's School.

When Zhang Han came over, all the soldiers looked at him.

The inspected troops, except for a few Jining Fort garrisons, were mostly stationed in the east and west routes. In a few months, many people could not see Zhang Han at all. Before this battle, in addition to being ordered to take out tasks, most of them were trained and stationed in the military camp in Lizhuang. Zhang Han would run around with these soldiers every morning, and sometimes go to the military cafeteria to have dinner with everyone. Every few days he would go to the military dormitory area to see the life situation. In terms of giving favors, Zhang Han has always spared no effort to his subordinates, and the soldiers also have deep feelings for him. In addition to the gratitude after receiving the favor, he is more respect and admiration. This emotion is stronger and deeper than the gratitude brought by the small favors.
