Chapter 761 Lake Bron

The Ming army camp at the entrance of the Yanchi Great Wall was noisy. With the continuous arrival of grain and materials, the preparations for the army's expedition were also coming to an end. Yang Yiqing was worthy of being a good logistics dispatcher. Song Nan's concern about the cold weather had already been under his consideration. He was sent back to remind Yang Yiqing to buy winter clothes. The work of firewood and salary is purely superfluous. The third batch of materials arriving at the barracks included 80 carts of charcoal, 40,000 winter clothes, 20,000 quilts, and many fire oil and coal used to make a fire in winter.

Song Nan was overjoyed. Yang Yiqing won at least ten days for the army, otherwise temporarily purchasing these materials would delay the army's expedition schedule. Even if Yang Yiqing still stayed in the capital to purchase and coordinate the transportation of materials, and the people did not arrive with the soldiers and horses to escort the materials, Song Nan immediately signed a commendation order to order the guard.

With the arrival of supplies and many things brought by Song's wife and concubines, the carriage was full of large and small things, such as cotton cloaks, leather hats, long cloaks, thick leather boots, hand warmers, copper braziers, hand oil, stomach wine, Lin Lin always has hundreds of kinds. Almost all the daily necessities you can think of are in it, and what you can't imagine can't escape the thoughts of the Song family's wives and concubines. At the same time, Song Nan also frowns. Most of these things are useless. One of the priorities of this expedition is to make a quick decision. It is impossible to bring more useless things. Some The thing can only be understood by the heart.

However, Song Nan is very satisfied with the same thing. It is a brand-new saddle, which is obviously carefully crafted and designed. The leather of the saddle is soft, strong and comfortable. There are also many hooks and skins designed on both sides, which can carry a lot of things, which is very practical. Song Nan knew that this saddle was actually sent by Zhu Fengtong to Song's house, mixed with the things used by Song's wife and concubines. With gratitude, Zhu Fengtong's sad face appeared in front of him, and when he remembered the beautiful scenery in Zhu's back house in Mingshifang, he couldn't help sighing.

A Jinyiwei official who escorted supplies also secretly stuffed a small package to Song Nan. The yellow package was actually made of silk, which was extremely exquisite and exquisite. Song Nan asked the official who gave him the package. The hundred households of Jinyiwei hesitated and only said that he didn't know who it was. The package was handed over to him by Fuhou Dabiao, Fusi Town, Beizhen, and asked him to be sure to send it to Song Nan.

Song Nan came to the package with doubt. A pair of dark gloves lay in the package with a faint fragrance. There was a silk handkerchief under it, and a hibiscus flower embroidered in the corner of the silk handkerchief. Song Nan suddenly knew who it was. This was sent by Princess Corning, who had not met in the palace for months. Song Nan put her hairy hand. I picked up the condom and tried to put it on. I only felt that the length of my fingers fit, fat and thin, just like it was customized according to my own hands. The material can't tell what the skin is. It looks a little rough, but it looks like it grows on the palm of the hand. It keeps you warm without affecting the grasp of the object.

After studying for a long time, someone finally recognized the material of this thing. It is a glove made of poisonous dragon skin. Because it is difficult to catch the poisonous dragon, the leather of the glove can only be made with a small piece under the jaw of the poisonous dragon. Therefore, the price of a pair of gloves alone is as high as hundreds of taels. In addition, there are very few craftsmen in Beijing who can make this kind of gloves. It is complicated, so the wages are not expensive. This kind of glove is just to keep warm. The most strange thing is that it has a considerable protective effect, just like the soft armor in the hand.

Song Nan felt guilty. Kang Ning was deeply attached to himself and missed himself all the time. In comparison, he gave her almost nothing. Thinking that the promise he made in those years had never been fulfilled, Song Nan felt that he had failed to live up to Kang Ning's. A deep feeling. There is no doubt that Corning is also reminding himself to make great achievements in disguise and return to the capital to reunite as soon as possible. Song Nan kicked the silk gloves in her arms and secretly made up her mind to return to Beijing after retaking Hetao this time. In any case, she couldn't delay any more if she could find a way to be with Corning.

On September 26th of the seventh year of Zhengde, with the Jingying Shenshu Camp, Zhenwei Camp, Martial Arts Camp and the foreign two military camps as the main force, with Ningxia Qianwei, Lingzhouwei, Suzhouwei, Yan'anwei and other northwest guard stations, nearly 60,000 Ming troops set out for the river area occupied by the Tatars outside the Yanchi Great Wall began.

Headed by Song Nan, the Duke of Daming Town, Jiang Bin, Xu Tai, Ma Ming, and more than 20 Beijing battalion and guard generals, including Peng Yang, Zhang An and Peng Changyu, the second military battalion, led various troops and horses to kill in the north with a magnificent force.

This time, Song Nan gave the position of the main striker to Jiang Bin, Ma Ming and Zhang An, with Jiang Bin as the main striker general and Ma Ming and Zhang An as the deputy nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses as the main force of the striker. This combination is carefully designed by Song Nan. These three people are brave and Zhang An, with rich experience, and Ma Ming is to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. The combination of

The Chinese army led by Song Nan and led nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in the four-wei Northwest Guards, and the rear team was Xu Tai led by the training battalion and the two guards to be responsible for the rear response and ensuring the smooth flow of logistics materials.

After sending troops from the Great Wall passing north of Yanchi, he traveled more than 120 miles in three days and reached the south of the Dusitu River along the edge of the Gobi. Although they did not encounter the resistance of the Tatar soldiers and horses on the way, they found the figure of the Tatar sentry wandering far away from time, and the Tatar knows the direction of the Ming army's march like the back of their back. But Song Nan didn't care at all. This time, it was clear that he made a large-scale attack. The head of Tulu was the beginning of the declaration of war, and the only combat route from Yanchi to attack the Hetao area was to attack the north of Dusi Tuhe River to directly attack Wuhai, the first Tart in the Hetao area. Even the most lame generals can guess Such an offensive route. Is it possible to go north from the Gobi Desert without leaving this route?

The Dusit River is a major tributary of the Yellow River. The river flows into the rolling Yellow River from west to east. Its originates from the Tuerben Wendur Mountain on the east side of the Gobi. Years of alluvial and diversion have formed a large lake called Bulong Lake in the middle of the Dusittu River. The grassland surrounding the lake area is lush with grass and land. Fertile is a good place for Tatar people to settle and graze.

Although it is only more than 100 miles away from the Wuhai in the north, it belongs to the Tatar Otok tribe in the east. Tens of thousands of herdsmen of the Otok tribe have settled here and rely on a large grassland formed by the Dustu River to graze for their lives.

It was dusk when the forward of the Ming army arrived on the shore of Lake Blong. The sparkling lake reflected the towering cliffs by the lake, and the slightly yellow grasslands around it were endless. The Ming army, which had been marching in the Gobi and the wind and sand for many days, seemed to have entered heaven.

Jiang Bin did not dare to cross the river rashly. Although there was a gentle ferry crossing the Dusi Tu River on the west side of Bulong Lake, in order to be cautious, Jiang Bin still ordered the front army to be stationed ten miles away from the shore. At the same time, he sent people to report to the Chinese army behind him and asked Song Nan to give instructions.

Before dark, Song Nan led a thousand soldiers and horses to the lakeside. Standing on the hillside on the south bank, looking around, you can see the sheep spread on the ground like white clouds on the grassland on the opposite bank. Although the scenery is extremely beautiful, Song Nan's first order was to destroy the scenery.

"Cross the Situ River overnight, rest on the spot after crossing the river, and tomorrow morning..."

The generals thought that Song Nan would say 'Take the Wuhai straight tomorrow morning', but they heard Song Nan say: "Tomorrow morning, all the soldiers and horses will grab back all the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland with a radius of 30 miles. Neither one can be let go, nor can they let go of a felt house. The recovered cattle, sheep and horses were handed over to Xu Tai and ordered him to negotiate with Lord Yang Yiqing to go to China and sell them into silver.

The generals were stunned. The first military order issued by the general was actually to rob things. Shouldn't they attack Wuhai directly? Everyone's mind immediately remembered the scene of Yang Yiqing driving a large group of cattle, sheep and horses to sell in the capital, which was really strange.

"Brothers, don't forget that I'm in debt. These cows, sheep and horses don't pay enough interest. Do you want the creditors to be full after I return to the capital? You definitely don't want to, so I have to grab all these things, otherwise I won't be able to live. If I am forced into debt by creditors, don't blame me for going to your house to disturb you. It can't be sent with hundreds of taels of silver. If you don't want to be harassed by me, you can help me grab things, which is good for everyone. Song Nan said with a strong heart.

The generals almost fainted. What the general said was so miserable that it seemed that it was more important to stop the army for half a day to grab things than to enter Wuhai immediately.

After all, Zhang An was worried about the war and arched his hand and said, "General, it's not like the front army will go to Wuhai early tomorrow morning, leaving a soldier and horse to collect property, so as not to delay the schedule of the army. In addition, Beizhi was a little worried about the river crossing tonight. The Tak seemed to be fearless when they saw this. They knew that my army was coming, but the herdsmen on the north bank did not evacuate. Is this an empty city plan? Or is there another reason?"

Song Nan smiled and said, "No matter what he is, it's too stupid for them to intercept us here. I hope that they will come to fight with us tonight. In short, everything is my main focus. I don't care how they deal with it. We need to know that we are the attacking side now, and how to resist is their business.

Jiang Bin said, "General, there is no ferry on the river. There are only 200 boats we carry. If the tartans shoot arrows on the other side, I'm afraid it will not be easy to land."

Song Nan nodded and said, "Use firearms to suppress it. Zhang Ning's rocket camp will arrive immediately. Once the enemy is found, you don't have to be polite and bombard his mother severely. But you saved me a little. There are only 30 rockets brought this time, which is still the result of rushing day and night. Ammunition is also ridiculously expensive. How many shells you spend, I will count the money. If I am chased in the future. Debt, I will take this list to your marquis's house to settle accounts.

Jiang Bin laughed and said, "Well, it's good to say that my brother sold this meat to pay off the debt."
