Chapter 46: Jumping and sweating profusely
Gushikhan led 150,000 cavalry to run back, and the more he thought about it, he became more angry. He was foolishly fooled by two men, Rozov and Kopelov. He led his army to attack the Ming Dynasty. He has not gained any benefits until now, and has lost nearly 50,000 troops in vain. It is such a shame and humiliation!
If he could, he really wanted to withdraw his troops immediately and no longer be foolish in being a gunman.
However, he could not withdraw his troops at all. For this attack, he had gathered 300,000 troops. The food and grass of 300,000 troops were almost the limit for him. There was a shortage of food on the grassland. This time he went on the expedition to collect almost all the food he could collect. Just go back like this, and drink the northwest wind when he was hungry this year!
When the 200,000 infantry arrived, the Hami Guards had to be defeated, and even he had to try Jiayuguan. If he could fight, he would be delicious and spicy. There were so many women. If he couldn't fight, he would also rob the outside of the pass.
With this idea, he led his army back to the foot of Tianshan Mountain north of Hami Guard.
Because he was in a bad mood, he ran wildly all the way, so he only took two days to go on the way. According to the course of the foot, it would take two days for the infantry to arrive later. What should he do in these two days?
It seems that when people were sent to investigate, I found that many places near Hami Guard had planted grain. There were no less than 10,000 households in the Tun Guard, and there were thousands of civilians. At this time, the Tun Guard might withdraw from Hami Guard or directly withdraw to the pass, but the civilians were not sure. He decided to take advantage of the two days to rob some food first. Of course, he would not let go of other money, clothing, women, etc.
The next morning, he set out with 50,000 watts of cavalry. As for the Kazakh cavalry, he had no choice but to stay and guard the camp.
This is the rule, because they did not do much effort or suffer any losses when siegeing the city, so the Hami Guard has no share!
This looting is also skillful. You cannot lead the army around. You must first send a scout to search everywhere, find other people's gathering places, and then send a corresponding number of people to rob according to the size of the gathering places.
If you run around aimlessly with the army, you may end up looting a few villages in a day, so what can you get?
Gu Shihan was not very worried. He only sent out a hundred groups of scouts in the first wave, because he felt that it would be nice to be able to grab a hundred villages a day.
Moreover, according to previous information, there were less than 20,000 households around the Hami Guard, and only 200 villages were killed, one hundred a day, and it was just enough to grab them in two days.
Soon, the detective cavalry sent out ran back one after another, and they all discovered the village. According to the size of the village, Gushihan still allocated people.
If it is a small village with more than a dozen households or dozens of households, hundreds of people will be sent;
If it is a large village with hundreds of households, four or five hundred people will be sent;
If it is a small town with hundreds of households, thousands of people will be sent;
If it is a big village with thousands of households, he will take his own people to grab it.
Less than half an hour after he rode his horse, good news came, and a group of detective cavalry discovered a big village with thousands of households!
Then what else is there to hesitate? He ordered two thousand troops and followed the scout and ran away.
About a quarter of an hour later, a large village appeared in front of him, with at least thousands of households.
However, as soon as he saw the layout of the bungalow, the excitement on Gu Shihan's face began to fade away.
Because the bungalows are so neatly built, it is like queuing up, row by row, straight and straight, this place is definitely a place in a village and a thousand houses in the Ming Dynasty!
These garrisons should not be left here, and they would probably not be left with food, property, etc.
With this unknown premonition, he slowly walked forward on horseback. The more he walked forward, the colder his face became.
There was not even a single green seedling in the farmland everywhere, and it seemed that it had been pulled away; there was no dry grass beside the farmland, leaving only piles of black and gray, as if they were cut and burned together.
When he arrived at a row of bungalows, he was even more angry and his face turned pale. All the doors and windows of the bungalows were removed. No matter from any angle, the room was empty and there was nothing!
Although he could not see anything, he still ordered everyone to get off the horse and go to the bungalow for a check-up.
What he thought was that he had run over from all over the place, so he had to get something back.
As a result, the soldiers walked out of the bungalow with a sad face. Looking at their empty hands, they knew that there was indeed nothing inside!
Finally, a soldier came from a distance and said breathlessly: "Qi Bing Da Khan, over there, over there..."
Judging from his panic, it was definitely not a good thing, but Gu Shihan still wanted to go and see what he saw.
Under the guidance of the soldier, he soon arrived at a large house in the middle of the Qianhu House.
This house is obviously much larger than other houses, and it has not been arranged with other houses. Needless to ask, this place should be the Qianhu Mansion of Qianhu House.
Gu Shihan followed the soldier into the lobby in the middle of the house. The lobby was empty at this time, and there was not even a stool left.
He looked at a wall in the direction of the soldier's finger, and saw that it was written in tile slogan: You dogs and Tartars starved to death!
After this sentence, there is a dead mouse.
The mouse was nailed to the wall with iron nails. I don’t know if it was starved to death or the pain.
Seeing this scene, Gu Shi was so angry that he almost blew out an old blood.
Too much, just too much!
He was so angry that he cursed: "Hey, burn all these houses for me, don't leave any room."
After he said this, the guards following him were not moving, and they all stood there with strange expressions, as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to say it.
Seeing this, Gu Shihan was so angry that he shouted: "Why are you still being stunned here? Go quickly!"
Finally, a brave guard bowed and said, "Shank you, there is nothing to do. They even took off the bed, and didn't see any firewood, thatch, etc.
Gu Shihan heard this and roared loudly: "Go and let them demolish all these houses!"
This does not require any special things. In general, you can quickly collapse if you cut with a knife, smash it with a stone, hit it with a wooden stick, or even kick it with a foot.
Hearing his roar, the guards immediately scattered their birds and beasts, and they all asked someone to demolish the house.
However, when Gu Shihan walked out of Qianhu Mansion, he did not see any house collapse. There were endless clangs and clangs, and countless curses were mixed in between!
Soon, several guards came over with a knife that cut the blade and said dejectedly: "Sweat, I can't demolish it. I don't know what the bricks of their house were glued together, and they were harder than stone slabs!"
When Gu Shihan heard this, he jumped up and cursed: "Wow, I, the ancestor of the rough nuns!"
