Chapter seven hundred and eighty first rain

A large number of soldiers stood in the uncovered rainy field, their faces were as cold as blue and their bodies were trembling.

Needing and the generals had temporary tart tents that could barely hide from the rain. A faint voice came from the tent, probably talking about He Yusheng's baggage soldiers.

In the rain, the convoy of He Yusheng was winding like a long gray snake. From May, a large number of cars and horses came from the capital to Yongping, then to Shanhaiguan, and then from Ningyuan to Jinzhou and Guangning. The convoy passed through Chengping's capital and Yongping, through the heavily guarded closed doors and ruined Jinzhou and other old cities and the remains of abandoned military forts, and finally arrived near the Thirteen Mountains.

Last month, Zu Dashou, Man Gui and others were ordered to lead their elite troops to break through the blockade of the Later Jin soldiers. The Later Jin left the Shisan Mountains with all the soldiers and horses, and they were all strong elites.

In March, Shan and Amin were ordered to go to Guangning to attack the five tribes of Nei Khalkha to assist the Korchin tribes that were squeezed in the territory, and at the same time, the camera attacked Shisan Mountains.

After Dai Shan and others tentatively let go of Li Yongfang, they suffered heavy losses, but they had to give up attacking the mountain. At the same time, they mobilized a large number of elite troops to go deep into the grassland to fight with the five tribes of Nei Khalkha.

Later, the news came that the Baked Flowers and the five troops were defeated, and the remaining troops were annexed by Lin Dankhan, and Baked Flowers were missing. The five troops either surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty or surrendered to Lin Dankhan. The five alliances that once dominated the overall situation of Mongolia's left wing no longer existed.

After obtaining it, Daishan and others did not return immediately. They cleared the remnants of the Mongolian grasslands and forced the various troops to join forces. When the Ming army attacked the Thirteen Mountains, it was the best time for Daishan and others to be thousands of miles apart.

The troops left behind by the Later Jin soldiers were indeed not strong, and the number was small, most of them were the Han army. Under the continuous attack of the Ming army, the Later Jin defense line was in danger and could only keep avoiding and retreating. The entire Jinzhou to Shisan Mountain area was torn apart by the Ming army. A large number of rangers were ridden on the periphery guards, and the main force was a escort convoy, and began to advance towards the Shisan Mountain area.

After hearing the sporadic sound of muskets, a general of Ming army who was hiding in a tent to hide from the rain praised: "Excellent, this weather can still be used to Yusheng's muskets."

Another military officer said: "Their gunman should have fired guns out of the car."

"It may also be that you wear a big-brimmed hat and place the fire door of the gun under the eaves to block the rain."

"They have killed many Donglu in the past few days, which is amazing."

The Ming army officers no longer regarded the baggage soldiers of the Heyusheng convoy as auxiliary soldiers. These baggage soldiers were in the name of the regiment training or the escorts of the business, or the coachman. Anyway, there were many names, with less than two thousand people, almost all of them were musketeers. At the beginning, the Ming army was only shocked by the strength and financial resources of the Heyusheng business, and at the same time, they were amazed at the speed of the baggage soldiers' advancement... they were really much faster than the Ming army camp soldiers.

The ruins along the way, the official roads were damaged, the bridges were broken, and the baggage and engineers cooperated to repair them, so they could ensure that they could advance at least forty miles every day.

This speed overturned the perception of many Ming army generals.

The combat effectiveness of the baggage and gunmen made the Ming army look at each other with admiration.

As the Thirteen Mountains approached the Thirteen Mountains, the resistance of the Donglu became fierce. There were a large number of rangers fighting every day. The Ming army mobilized the general's personal soldiers and Need Ding this time. The number of soldiers was not large, and most of them were composed of cavalry. Although they broke through the defense line, they could not effectively eliminate the Donglu. These days, they had small-scale exchanges every day.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The battle, and the gunman with Yusheng performed very well in the continuous small-scale battle.

The gunners were accurate and responded quickly. They were powerful when firing. The quality of the guns was significantly higher than that of the bird guns and three-eyed guns of the Ming munitions battalion. What surprised the Ming generals most was the elite level of the Yusheng gunner.

The enemy cavalry is less than 100 steps and will never be fired. When the enemy is fired, they will fire as much as possible. There will never be a mess of fire. After the attack, they will withdraw the medicine and move quickly and quickly, almost causing the Ming generals to startle their eyes.

Many times, generals including Zu Dashou and others suspected the identity of these baggage soldiers until a squadron of musketeers guarded Liu Ji, Li Pingzhi and others arrived from the capital.

After seeing the performance of the regiment training soldiers and gunmen, all the suspicious Ming generals shut their mouths.

"Don't let go." Zhang Chunniu wiped the rain from his face and said, "Wait for the rain to stop."

"Zu Dashou and Mangui are on the left and right wings." Li Pingzhi looked into the distance and said calmly: "Yuan Bingbei is in the Shisan Mountain Post thirty miles later. We are nearly fifty miles away from Shisan Mountain. If you walk over, you will probably be able to connect with the people on the mountain."

"The great achievements will be accomplished." Liu Ji said: "The imperial court's troops have done their best, and the matter below depends on ours."

Li Pingzhidao: "I received instructions from the adults the day before yesterday to ensure that more food is transported up the mountain as much as possible, and to ensure that the torn passages last for a period of time. It is best for our baggage to be used for combat. In terms of transportation, loading and unloading should be used more local manpower. This is my suggestion to the military department, which has been recognized by both the adults and the military department."

Neither Liu Ji nor Zhang Chunniu made any statement. Li Pingzhi came from the Military Order Command and had outstanding abilities. The Military Office had recognized his qualifications to coordinate the overall situation. Liu Ji and other shopkeepers were responsible for commanding the chariots and coordinating the relationship with civil and military officials of the Ming army. Zhang Chunniu was responsible for commanding the baggage and engineers, and coordinating the overall situation. The responsibility of coordinating the overall situation fell on Li Pingzhi.

Zhang Chunniu finally said suspiciously: "How to get enough people?"

Li Pingzhi smiled but said nothing.

...

"Dang, dang, dang..."

After the rain stopped, the sun reappeared in mid-air. The ground was quickly dried under the scorching sun, and heat waves steeped everywhere, and people were sweating profusely.

The Ming army began to build tents, and there were a few black clouds in the distance. Maybe it would turn into a heavy rain again at night. It was true that the weather was fine.

The outline of the mountains is shown in the distance, and the distance is too far, so it is not very real to see.

The official road has been simply repaired, and the army is stationed in the wastelands on both sides of the road, with a few people and officers living in abandoned villages. Although the house is dilapidated, it is much better than dozens of people huddled in broken tents.

In comparison, the people who live in the Cheying camp are much more jealous.

The Ming army dozens of people squeezed into a broken tent, and Yusheng's baggage was eleven people and a tent, which was wide and comfortable, which was enviable.

While everyone was setting up the tent, He Yusheng's cooks began to cook with a chariot and fire, and the fragrance wafted over.

Ming Jun's eyes were red, and many popular teeth were itchy.

If nothing unexpected happens, their dinner will be made of rice dumplings made of dried rice. After steaming and drying, these rice dumplings can be stored for a long time and are standard for marching rations when sending troops to fight.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Some people also have some fried noodles on them, but unlike those fried with oil and sugar in later generations, the fried noodles at this time are not delicious. They have a dry taste and are a bit bitter. Many of them are made of moldy and old grains.

Some parts of the ground were dried by the sun, and most of them were half dry and half wet, emitting a smell of mud and water. After setting up the tent, many people took off their boots and lay down, and no one wanted to walk around in such an environment.

There is no place to go around, there are wilderness everywhere, and the villages are in decline. You can occasionally see some figures hiding in the ruins, just like mice, and they disappeared after a run.

These remaining people knew the dangers of the battlefield. Not only would the Donghu kill people, but the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers might not be very powerful. If they were not careful, slaughtering a few people who were blindly interested was just a small matter. No one would take it seriously, and they would not use the murderers to declare military discipline.

"Everyone will listen, I will enter Panshan Station tomorrow!"

A team of cavalrymen galloped through the muddy mud and threw away many people. Because they were not ordinary pond horses, the people who were thrown in mud did not dare to say anything, and only whispered after the cavalry left.

"Who is that guy in silver armor?"

"It is said that he is the nephew of Deputy General Zu. This time I took him to the battlefield and saw him."

"Hey, this kid is not bad, she is just a little tender with white robes and silver armor."

"It's so tender, hehe..."

"You are damn dead, and Deputy General Zu's nephew dares to talk nonsense!"

When he spoke sour words, he thought of Zu Dashou's power and the power of the Zu family, he immediately stopped talking.

There is such a teenage boy in the army who comes and goes every day, which is really annoying.

Before Shisanshan Post, there is Luyang Post, then Fengmaling Post. To the right are Xiping Post and Panshan Post. Panshan Post is actually at the foot of Shisanshan, not far from Guangning City. Fengmaling Post is close to Dashan and Guangning Acropolis. Recently, various cavalrymen such as Zu Dashou and Mangui have fought back and forth with the Donglu in these places, and people are injured and returned every day.

This time, many injured soldiers were very lucky. Because of He Yusheng's light carriage, many injured soldiers were sent to Ningyuan for treatment, and many people saved their lives.

Compared with the down-to-earth and capable soldiers of Heyusheng, a teenager in white robes and silver armor rode horses everywhere every day, saying that he was also participating in the war. He would definitely become famous after the war. Not only did the soldiers not accept it, but even many military officers with low and medium positions were not convinced.

Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang was also helped by his elder brother-in-law. He has now emerged in western Liaoning and has served as a real general in the army. Many people speculated that Zu Dashou delayed the time to advance to the general because of several defeats and escapes. Wu Xiang, who he supported, had a very good reputation, was good at socializing, and was a martial Jinshi. His future was limitless and he might become the general within ten years... The more this happens, people became more and more dissatisfied with the success of the Wu father and son.

"Everyone talks less nonsense, just lie down and hold the corpse when you have time, and rest more." A military officer vaguely heard some of it. He was not disgusted with it. Western Liao is a place where the sects are in power. No matter how capable the military officers are, unless they have a background in the background, they will be destined to waste their lives.

Even if he is as strong as Mao Wenlong, he will only get the opportunity to go to Dongjiang after his fifty years old. It is because of a relative who is a high-ranking official. Otherwise, with Mao Wenlong's experience of growing up in the south, even if he is from a noble family of the Liaoxi general, what kind of birds can he use?
