Come to Daming with military supplies

Page 520



It's not their fault, their understanding of muskets is exactly the impression that Daming gave them.At that time, the firecrackers could only hit about [-] meters, and they were not much different from bows and arrows. The only difference was that the lethality seemed to be a little bit greater.And in the battle with the Ming army just now, because of the distance, they couldn't see clearly at what distance Amu Gulang's cavalry was shot.

The Tatar soldiers still looked confused, and the mercenaries of the six battalions were indeed not polite.Most of them were from auxiliary soldiers, and some of them even had the quality to test the real Leng Feng. The training during this period of time made their strength go up to a higher level.Now facing the enemy close at hand, he was already full of fighting spirit, all he lacked was an order to shoot.

Now, the order was finally issued, and the right arm of Humang on the horse was raised high and lowered, and the bugleman beside him blew the horn for permission to shoot, and the gunshots sounded, and the countless bullets seemed to have eyes. Generally, they flew straight towards the Tatar soldiers on Dalu City.

The Tatar soldiers who didn't have the slightest psychological defense and didn't take the Musketeers under the city seriously suffered a big loss.One second after the sound of the gunshot, bloody flowers appeared on the top of the city tower. At least hundreds of soldiers were killed by a shot at an important position because they stretched out their heads without taking any precautions. Only some luck Yes, Xingl escaped because the bullet went astray and hit the battlements.

"Quick, squat down, don't stand up." Shebie instinctively lowered his head the moment the gunshot rang out, and leaned his back against a battlement, thus avoiding a catastrophe.But when he saw that many soldiers were hit by muskets because they did not dodge, and they fell to death on the tower with their heads tilted like this, he still couldn't help crying out loudly.

Facts speak louder than words!

There is no need to say goodbye, all the soldiers looked for places to hide in horror, and they were even more surprised. What kind of musket is this? Not only can it hit so far, but it is also so accurate. For such a weapon, who dares to show his head to cast a bow and arrow, is that any different from courting death?

Like the other soldiers, Shebie also had a look of horror on his face.He is indeed a general, but he also only has one life, and being hit by a bullet is also not much better.

All the Tatar soldiers took refuge in a safe place, so that they could not pose a threat to the mercenary soldiers below the city.At this time, the city tower seemed to tremble for a moment. It was the mortar that started to show its power. After aiming precisely at the target, the two cannons fired at once, and one of them hit the gate of Dalu City with a "boom" After the loud noise, the seemingly heavy city gate was completely blasted open.

Along with it, dozens of Tatar soldiers were holding giant wooden tops on the city gate. Their task was to guard the city gate. The opponents were all cavalry, and they should not be good at siege.With one defense and one attack, the situation should be in their favor.

Unexpectedly, the mercenaries were not polite to them at all, and the city gate was blown open with just a single bombardment, without even the slightest intention of fighting.

The gate of the city was wide open, and the deputy head of the regiment, Xin Honghai, who was riding on a horse, roared immediately, and rushed towards Dalu City first on his horse. Behind him were five battalions of [-] independent regiments warrior.

Xin Honghai charged with all his strength, and Su He, the head of the Tatar cavalry regiment, was also not to be outdone. With the same shout, he also led his troops to follow.While launching a charge, he suppressed the shock in his heart.

God!The artillery of the mercenaries is too powerful. With such heavy weapons, what kind of city cannot be attacked, and what kind of enemy can stop them?

General Shebie on the city tower was even more shocked. He could feel it from the vibration. The mercenaries should have opened the city gate. Now they felt the sound of people's hooves trampling on the ground. They were afraid that they were heading towards the city. Come on.

Once they enter the city, with the advantage of cavalry over infantry, what else can he resist?At this moment, his whole body suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, and he knew that Dalu City had changed hands from this moment on.

Chapter 776 I'm so poor

"General, the cavalry opened the city gate with artillery, and now they are coming to the city. Our soldiers can't resist it at all." A commander crawled all the way to the place where he was hiding behind a battlement. She said goodbye to her side and said anxiously.

"Can't stop it?" Shebie seemed to be talking to himself.

"Yes, I can't stop it. Now many soldiers in the city have surrendered. This...in fact, it's no wonder they, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and the brothers have not been able to eat for a long time We have killed more than half of the horses, and we don’t have enough physical strength to continue fighting with them.” The commander explained to the soldiers below.

Since Tuotuo Buhua Khan was attacked by Yexian and his younger brother Agadorji, he retreated to his hometown under the protection of his loyal generals.That is, from that time on, the [-] Tatar soldiers guarding Dalu City had no supplies.They became rootless, in order to save themselves, they first attacked Beiming's territory by threshing grain and grass, but not only did not grab much, they were surrounded by cavalry sent by Beiming Wanquandu.

If it weren't for the heroic and good fighting of the Tatar cavalry, I'm afraid they will suffer a big loss.Beiming didn't get any benefits, so they had no choice but to set their targets on the grassland and rob some individual herdsmen on the grassland.But this kind of behavior of drying up the marshes soon forced the people in the nearby grasslands to flee to farther places.When there was less and less food in the city, Amugulang had to order the killing of war horses to satisfy his hunger.

This is why there are ten thousand Tatar soldiers, but only five thousand cavalry. Half of the disappearing horses were eaten by themselves.

I know my own affairs.If the strength of the mercenaries is average, the Tatar soldiers may still have the courage to fight a crazy battle, and they may be able to grab some food from the opponent.But now, in the face of mercenaries whose morale and combat power are obviously stronger than theirs, there is only a dead end if they resist. Knowing this, it is nothing if some soldiers choose to surrender.

"Hey, since the soldiers in the city have surrendered, let's surrender too. Tell the brothers, stop resisting and surrender." He let out a long breath, as if he had made a very difficult decision, and said After saying these words, Shebie's whole body relaxed, as if from this moment on, the heavy burden on him was let go.

Suddenly, a white flag was hung on the tower of Dalu City. Under the sunlight, it looked so pale and powerless.When seeing this scene, Humang laughed loudly, "Haha, the Tatar soldiers have surrendered and entered the city!"

The mercenaries entered the city more than an hour earlier than originally planned.The street fighting in the city that Humang originally estimated had not fully unfolded, which made him full of disdain for the [-] Tatar infantry guarding the city.In his opinion, with the advantage of the city, the resistance is so weak, the general who defends the city is really too incompetent.

But all these thoughts changed because of what he saw after entering the city.

When Humang entered the city, Su He and Xin Honghai, who had entered ahead of time, had completely controlled the situation here, even Shebie and others were brought down from the tower. Waiting for Humang to come to inspect and review.

Riding a tall horse into the city, I originally wanted to say a few words to ridicule the opponent's general, which could be regarded as a good way to suppress the opponent's morale, but when my eyes fell on Shebie and the soldiers around me, I was surprised to find that this is not a weapon. The army, how can there be a bit of a brave and mighty prairie warrior?They were all yellow and thin, and the clothes looked so loose on their bodies, like children wearing an adult's robe, so inappropriate.

Of course, the Tatar soldiers were not so poor that they didn't even have any clothes to wear. The reason for this was that they were malnourished for a long time, and they didn't have enough food to feed them. As a result, everyone lost dozens of catties or more. This makes them look so discordant with the clothes on their bodies.

Humang was riding on the horse, he just opened his mouth when he wanted to say something, but he didn't utter a word.The head of Su He who was on the side seemed to understand something, and came to his side carefully on horseback and said: "Tiger head, I have already inquired, these soldiers have not had enough food for a long time, and they even used war horses before. It's coming to fill your hunger."

When talking about these, Su He also had a look of unbearable.For prairie warriors, war horses are their brothers. In many cases, people live and horses live, and horses die when people die.And once it is time to make brothers as food, one can imagine how bad the environment will be.Not to mention, horse meat is a little sour and tastes not very good. If there is no other way, who would make such a decision?

"Hey... hey, make arrangements, cook right away, at least let them eat before we talk." Humang suppressed everything he wanted to say in his heart, and he finally understood why the seemingly powerful Tatar Tartar soldiers, today there will be such an incompetent performance.Presumably, without food, how much strength can even a mercenary show?

"Su He, thank the tiger heads on behalf of these soldiers." Hearing Hu Mang's order, Su He sighed. After all, he is also a Tatar, and he is closely related to these people. Of course, he doesn't want to watch My own people are in such a pitiful state now.

Seeing the moved look on Su He's face, Humang smiled, "Okay, you can pass on my order right away. By the way, those people must be starving too. Go ahead and give them the order." Make a portion too, so that everyone can eat as much as possible.”

"Yes." Su He clasped his fists again to thank him, then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly paid another military salute, and then quickly rode away.He had already turned his back, warm tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, this time he was really moved by Humang's actions.

The news of the big victory ahead reached Yang Chendong who was walking slowly.

Seeing what was said in the battle report, when Humang took down the entire Dalu City with less than 200 casualties and captured nearly 8000 soldiers of the other side, Yang Chendong laughed loudly, "That's right, Humang did it!" Beautiful, looks quite talented."

"That's right, Hutou is actually very capable of commanding the army. After all, he has been with the young master for so long." Seeing that Yang Chendong was in a good mood, Yang Er hurriedly flattered him.Of course, he also has a subtext in this sentence, that is, he has been with the young master for a long time, and he is also a talent for commanding the army.

Naturally, Yang Er would not say these words directly.He didn't forget the choice Yang Chendong asked him to make that time, either go down and become a regiment leader and lead an army, or stay by his side honestly.He chose the latter without saying a word.

To Yang Chendong, besides adoration, Yang Er still has gratitude, because without this master, he might not know where he is now, and he doesn't even know whether he is alive or dead.It is precisely because of the Sixth Young Master that he has brought him such a beautiful thing now, and now that he has a woman of his own right, the gratitude in his heart is even stronger.

He will never leave Yang Chendong's side, but if he has the opportunity to lead an army to the battlefield, then he is also very yearning, after all, there is such a primitive impulse in the bones of men.

Yang Chendong chuckled, didn't make any comments on Yang Er's words, but raised his hand and said: "That's it, speed up the march, and rest in Dalu City today."

Originally, the distance was not very far. In the afternoon, Yang Chendong and more than a thousand people came to the city, where they entered the city together with Humang and others who were waiting together.Along the way, Humang also made a brief report on the battle that took place.

The scout had already reported the situation to Yang Chendong before, but now he just repeated it, and Humang spoke very quickly.After talking about the battle, his expression became a little more depressed, "Young master, it's really not easy for the people here?"

"Huh?" Hearing Humang say that it was not easy for the Tatar soldiers defending the city, Yang Chendong showed a very surprised look on his face.How is this so good, to talk about love for the other party?

"Master, the situation is like this..." Humang said with a serious face what he saw after entering the city and what he learned afterwards.When it comes to the fact that the Tatar soldiers in the city haven't had a full meal for a long time, and even had to kill war horses to satisfy their hunger, and some people in the city even did things like changing their sons to eat in order to survive, Humang was biting Gritting his teeth and clenching his right hand, he looked very heartbroken.

Yang Chendong's complexion also became much deeper after just saying "Yizi and Shishi".Of course he knew what this meant. Although he had been in this world for several years and he had seen many poor people, he was still very touched when he really heard these words.He could even imagine in his mind, what kind of circumstances would the common people do such a thing?

It must be quite helpless, right?Presumably parents who do this will have a bad conscience for the rest of their lives, right?

"Young master, I have already ordered to go down, take out our rations to let these surrendered soldiers and the common people have a full meal first, and please don't punish me." Humang's voice started to eat again, but when he said these It was already an apology-like appearance.

Speaking of it, it is reasonable to distribute the military rations to the surrendered soldiers. After all, these people may become their comrades in arms in the future.But the distribution to those common people, even some women, children and the elderly, is not something Humang can decide at will. Most of these people are powerless, and even if they are in their hands, they are not very useful.Although the mercenaries already had a [-]-acre greenhouse in Shicheng, which could solve part of the food problem, most of the food still had to be transported by sea from Chixian City, which required a lot of manpower and material resources.Now that the military rations have been distributed in this way, Humang's pleading guilty is also a matter of course.

Chapter 777 Su He Pleads For Mercy

"Hey, what are you guilty of?" Yang Chendong waved his hand casually, "Although we are not capable of making the people in the world live a good life and have enough food right away, as long as we work hard, this problem will eventually come to an end." It will be resolved, and there is nothing wrong with what you did."

"Thank you, young master." Hu Mang also knew that since he had stayed by Yang Chendong's side for so long, he could still make this decision. Even if he made a mistake, he would not be punished too much.But he also had to adopt the proper attitude, because in a way, he was a servant, and Yang Chendong was the master.

"Well, not only did you do nothing wrong, but you were able to take down Dalu City at such a small price this time. You still have merit. Hehe, in fact, the current strength of the independent regiment already has the conditions to become a division. How about it, I Now I order you to be the commander of the independent division, and then send a telegram to the military headquarters and the political department of Chixian City, so that they can file and organize, and you should also take the trouble to report the names of the cadres below to them." Yang Chendong laughed. talking.

Humang is his schoolboy companion.I have been following myself since I was a child, and I am very familiar with what kind of temperament he is.Even if he has such an ability to lead the army, he must of course work hard to improve it.Of course, if there is any other purpose for doing this, only he himself knows.

Being promoted suddenly, Humang was still stunned.Yang Erque, who was on the side, had already come over with a smile on his face, "Mr. Hu, I want to congratulate you, remember to treat you later, hehehe."

Humang just came to his senses after saying this, and while glaring at Yang Erlian, he also saluted Yang Chendong, "Master, I am someone next to you, and this independent group is just a temporary agent. I want to leave your side, young master."

Hu Mang didn't think of a teacher position.In his capacity, he is said to be the head of the regiment, but who dares to treat him like this?Even Wu Sheng, the division commander of Leng Feng's third division, and Chen Bo, the political commissar, did not behave themselves as subordinates when they saw him.That's it, it doesn't matter if you have this teacher status or not.On the contrary, if he was forced to leave Yang Chendong because he got a teacher, then the loss outweighed the gain.
