Chapter 173: Attack on the Salt Field

"Brothers, today's battle has brought our prestige and hit the arrogance of the Tartars. In the future, we should never be afraid of any Tartar cavalry. They are all paper tigers in front of us!" Zhang Yang stood on the stage of the training ground and said to the soldiers below.

The soldiers below were all very excited. Today's battle was really exciting! Even the novice who had just started on the battlefield had already eased up. They couldn't wait to continue fighting and prove that they were not cowards.

"Brothers, in this battle, we killed nearly five hundred Tartar cavalry and seized 400 war horses. This is just the beginning!" Zhang Yang said on the stage: "Our goal is to regain the territory of our Han people from the hands of the Tartars. We are not the fourth class, we are the masters here!"

"We are the masters here, we are the masters here!" Tang He raised the Tianque gun and shouted in the audience.

"We are the masters here, we are the masters here!" More than 200 soldiers shouted, and they raised the Tianque gun in their hands and the fine steel spear, as if they were about to pierce the sky.

Zhang Yang pressed with his hands and the audience immediately calmed down.

"Although we just finished the war in the morning and had only had an hour off, I order you to arrive at Baiju Salt Field a hundred miles east before dark. Can you do it?"

"Listen to my brother, no problem!" Tang He shouted.

"Yes, no problem!" The crowd was excited.

"Okay, now, let's go!" Zhang Yang waved his hand and set off in a mighty manner.

Everyone carried their own Tianque gun and had ammunition. The four grenades on their backs were bumpy with the ups and downs of the horse. Since there was a horse, everyone wanted to ride a horse. Except for a few who really couldn't ride, most of them had become cavalry. Of course, this cavalry was limited to riding a horse. If you want to practice to control war horses as well as the Tartar cavalry, it would not be a one-day job. It would be even more impossible to shoot accurately on the bumpy horse's back. Therefore, it is still an infantryman riding a horse now.

Zhang Yang rode his horse and walked next to the team. His team was about to capture the Baiju Salt Field. Attacking the official Baiju Salt Field, what does this mean? I'm afraid everyone knows in their hearts that good men should do this, fight on the battlefield and make achievements!

The sky is particularly clear, with white clouds floating, the autumn air is clear and the surroundings are still green.

Zhang Yang has walked this road for many times, from Killing Port to the Salt Field, by water and by land, every time it comes and goes in a hurry, and you have to be careful. This time, you can finally walk to the Baiju Salt Field openly without worrying about being discovered by someone in Killing Port.

Attacking Baiju Salt Field is actually very simple. There are only a few Mongolians in the salt field to do defense work, and their main task is to prevent the salt people in the salt field from selling salt out privately. At the beginning, troops were stationed in the salt field, but with wars everywhere, the army had long been transferred to suppress the uprising. Now, there are only a small number of scattered soldiers left in the salt field to do defense work, only a few dozen people, so there is no suspense in this battle.

The only thing to consider is the political impact brought about after capturing the salt field. The salt field was the main source of finance for the Yuan Dynasty. If the salt field was built and the money printing machine was used, what would the senior leaders of the Yuan Dynasty react? Will they send large groups of people to wipe out themselves?

Zhang Yang and Li Shanchang discussed it several times, but the result was that it would not be the case for the time being, because the Yuan Dynasty is now being frustrated by the Red Turban Army everywhere and has no time to worry about this place. Even if you know your existence, you will only treat yourself as a pole and run away after you rob. Therefore, after the salt field is built, the most important thing is to recruit soldiers and expand the army immediately. By the time the upper class of the court reacted, he had already strengthened his strength and had the capital to confront the court.

"Brother, it's coming soon." Tang He Zongma came back and reported to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang looked up and looked from a distance. The stream was flowing in the water. The bamboo forest on the shore was still so green. On the other side of the bamboo forest was his own village. Looking into the distance, the unique huge black smoke was the place of the salt field, and the salt people still used firewood to make salt.

"Transfer the order, according to the original plan, Bian Yuanheng and Lu Zhen go to their respective positions to defend, Tang He's troops, check their weapons, prepare for battle, and take down the salt field within half an hour!" Zhang Yang said.

"Yes!" The messenger went to convey the order, and Tang He immediately rushed back to his team.

It was like a forked river, and the team was divided into three groups: Bian Yuanheng led his twenty or so people to run north to establish a defense line to defend the north, and Lu Zhen led his people to run south, ready to be prepared to be prepared to support the Tartars from the south at any time. Tang He was the most excited. This time, when he attacked Baiju Salt Field, the eldest brother valued him so much, and handed over the main attack to himself, and he must do a better job.

Zhang Yang took his own guard and walked at the back as a reserve team. He would support him wherever there was any situation.

On the lookout post set up with a bamboo pole, a salt dipper was looking lazily on it.

Since Qiu Yi died, their lives have been better. When Qiu Yi was there, he relied on being a Mongolian person, and everyone else was bullied by him. Although they were all archers, his status was a hundred times higher than that of others.

Qiu Yi died, and Gaoyou Mansion sent another person to replace Qiu Yi's position. The new man had never shown up and had been staying in Xinghua City. Compared to this salt field without any entertainment venue, Xinghua City is of course much more prosperous.

This is also good. At least people like me have a much better life. They bully the salt people and squeeze them some wages and live a lot of life.

But every day I have to pedal up this high lookout whistle to observe the situation everywhere, whether there are suspicious ships in the river, and whether the salt people are working hard, so I can see clearly here.

The barracks in the distance were empty, and the army was transferred to the north half a year ago to suppress Liu Futong's uprising. Otherwise, where would it be my turn to serve here? The cool breeze blew, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

In this kind of weather, it would be great to go back to find a warm bed and have a naked woman!

He looked down and saw that the salt farmers below were still working. Recently, Lord Si Cheng had some thoughts and asked the salt farmers to work for an extra hour or two so that the salt farm would be more salt production. But what are the benefits of this? Is he secretly selling salt from the salt farm?

Yan Ding stopped him from thinking like this. It had nothing to do with him and he was not interested.

Looking at the red clouds in the sky, this day is about to pass again. If you stay for a while, someone will take over the post and change your duty. It would be better to keep watch at night. No one checked it. Just dress thicker and sleep for a night.

The other guards also stood lazily in various key parts of the salt field. The salt field has high walls. Apart from the river, there is only one entrance that allows salt people to pass through, so that salt people can prevent them from secretly taking the salt out.

His eyes swept south, and there seemed to be a group of people galloping south in the distance. He rubbed his eyes. When it was about to get dark, his vision was not very good, maybe he was dazzled.

He looked closely and saw that the group had stopped and became hidden on a high ground to the south.

There is a problem! He wants to call someone down and go over and check it out.
Chapter completed!
