The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 213 The Growth of Famous Generals

"Report!"

A personal guard ran to Liu Xia's study and said respectfully to Liu Xia.

"To reply to the prince, now Wu Sangui's army has arrived in Xinyang Prefecture, Runing Prefecture, and the troops of the two regiments of the Wolf Xiao Brigade have also been deployed to Luoshan, which is very close to Xinyang. However, so far, the enemy has only been stationed in Xinyang and has no intention of attacking. The commander of the Wolf Xiao Brigade asked the general for instructions on what to do next.

Liu Xia picked up the quilt on the table and put it in her mouth. She took a small bite and said in a low voice, "Tell Ma Peng to closely monitor the enemy. If the enemy attacks us, then tell him that he must not be soft. Of course, if the enemy does not move, let him continue to stand in the stalemate with the enemy, and let his men continue to sweep the local poles, bandits and some ruffians, so as to lay the foundation for government personnel to go in the future.

"I understand!" After saying that, he hurried down.

The Qing army has not moved since the last defeat. Duoduo's continuous defeat made the personnel within the Eight Banner despise him more. Many people laughed at Duoduo's incompetence. However, because of the last battle, the Qing army suffered heavy losses. At present, there is no intention of sending troops. The whole Qing Dynasty now seems to be completely silent.

In late April, on the endless grassland, an army in camouflage was across the grassland. These people were fully armed, and each had two horses, or even three, or even four. There are about 2,000 people in this group, and each of them is carrying heavy supplies.

The leader was a very young man. He skillfully drove the war horse forward, and more than 2,000 people behind him followed him. This group of people are Zhang Yang and others. Because the grassland is green, Zhang Yang specially equipped the soldiers with green camouflage clothes, which can achieve a hidden effect and make it difficult for the enemy to detect themselves.

After coming to the grassland, Zhang Yang has slaughtered several Tatar tribes. These war horses are the Tatars who robbed. Among them, these war horses are selected war horses. Those bad horses are either abandoned or slaughtered.

"Head, where are we going next?" Now these 3,000 Scouts have been tested by blood and fire and have matured for a long time. The perseverance has already replaced the tenderness, and the slender and weak arms have been replaced by the thick muscles. They are now truly elite teachers.

Zhang Yang looked at the distant sky. It was endless green. In the distance, it seemed that the ground of the Tianhe River coincided on one side, with a blue sky and a green ground. There are also those clear rivers, the hot sun hanging on the earth, and the white clouds are like ribbons, floating back and forth.

"Our ultimate goal is to go to Horqin! But now let's get familiar with this grassland first. Draw an accurate map of the landform here," Zhang Yang said firmly.

A Boy Scout soldier asked, " Boss, where is Horqin?" What's there?"

"Kerqin..." Zhang Yang raised an evil smile at the corners of his mouth and said, "There are a lot of cattle and sheep, and there are beautiful girls. Horqin is in the distant Liaodong.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but remember their experience in the past ten days. After entering the Mongolian plateau from Shaanxi, Zhang Yang led three thousand children to get lost on the grassland. In the face of the vast and desolate grassland, Zhang Yang completely understood why there were so many in ancient times. Few dynasties were able to completely rule the Mongolian grasslands.

There are not only few people here, but also a large number of wild wolves. It is no exaggeration that there is no one in the world, and if there is no herdsman on the grassland, it is difficult to find food, and it may be lost in the desert. ( Mongolia has a large number of deserts.)

Zhang Yang and others brought food for a total of five days. If they can't find new food after eating the food, they can only kill the horse if they want to live, but once the horse is killed, if there are Tatar cavalry coming, they are likely to be completely destroyed.

Zhang Yang tasted the most difficult years on the grassland, which was a difficulty he had not encountered in Ying Yangwei for such a long time. However, relying on his smart brain and years of experience, they finally survived.

When he entered Mongolia on the first day, he was arrogant and prepared to lead his generals to do a big battle. But on the first day, they didn't find even a single figure.

The next day, they found some water, but it was very dirty, but when they were in Yingyangwei, Zhang Yang learned to purify the water. Of course, the dirty water was also given by Professor Liu Xia to Yu Mingjun. This day is their happiest day. However, I still haven't met any people.

On the third day, Zhang Yang led his soldiers to inadvertently break into the desert. Because he was not familiar with the situation of the desert, Zhang Yang could only bump into him like a headless fly in the desert. As a result, five soldiers died. This was a great blow to Zhang Yang. That night, Zhang Yang looked at the sky and the night sky, and his heart was very heavy. At one time, I even doubted whether I could lead these three thousand people well. But Zhang Yang found the Big Dipper while looking at the night sky and was immediately happy. So Zhang Yang leaned on the guidance of the Big Dipper and walked out of the desert overnight. At dawn, they completely left the damn desert. Zhang Yang also understood the importance of drawing maps.

On the fourth day, after Zhang Yang came out of the desert, he specially found a few people who could draw and began to draw the places they had been, which will be useful in the future. He didn't know how far his behavior had had a far impact on the future. In the future, Liu Xia used the map drawn by Zhang Yang to recover Mongolia.

The fourth day, they met a group of wolves, but the wolves were obviously smart and did not attack them, but chose to leave. But they are still not alone. At this time, there is not much food on them, and many of the soldiers have lost their morale.

Looking at the soldiers sighing, Zhang Yang tried his best to improve his morale, but it didn't work. The fifth day was also the last day they could hold on. They didn't find a figure for a whole day, even a group of wild horses. The morale plummeted.

These five days have completely changed the world outlook and outlook on life before Zhang Yang. He has become less arrogant, but he still hasn't given up. For his dream and his honor, he must stick to it!

Zhang Yang, you are the best!

Mencius once said: If you have a great responsibility from heaven, you must first work hard on your mind, work your muscles and bones, starve your body and skin, empty your body, and mess up what you do. Zhang Yang felt that God was testing him. If he couldn't stick to this point and solve it, how could he compare it with Huo Qubing?

Zhang Yang shook his lips, his eyes were full of tenacity, and he kept telling himself: Zhang Yang must work hard! Victory lies ahead.

But no matter how tenacious and dreamy he is, he has to face a very cruel reality at this time, that is, they have no food.

"Chief, we, we can only survive if we kill the war horse." Dozens of soldiers pulled out their sharp and shiny swords, surrounded the soldiers' horses, and were about to kill the horses and eat meat.

"No way! Although the war horse is a beast, he is a warrior who fights side by side with us. He is our brother. He must not eat it. And if the enemy comes, if we don't have a war horse, the whole army will definitely be destroyed. Zhang Yang shook his head firmly, and the war horse must not be killed.

"Commander, we have nothing to eat. We can't even see a person in this vast grassland. I guess we can't find anyone today, but we can't be hungry like this. Everyone said that this war horse doesn't eat.

At this time, Zhang Yang will once again face a dispute between superiors and soldiers. If it is not handled well, it will be a soldier bombing camp.

Zhang Yang suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Then kill my war horse first." With that, Zhang Yang brought his favorite snow dragon over, and Zhang Yang tried his best to hold back his tears. At this time, the snow dragon lowered his head and scratched his open arm, and his eyes were full of peace and love.

The soldiers knew what the war horse meant to Zhang Yang, and they did not dare to do it, so Zhang Yang became deadlocked with the soldiers. After such an hour, the soldiers did not kill the horse in the end, and Zhang Yang won the final victory.

Zhang Yang's task was to send cavalry to scout everywhere to see if there was anything to eat, and even Zhang Yang personally began to shoot wild rabbits. Suddenly, the rabbits on the whole grassland suffered.

They have been eating food for several days. What about Zhang Yang without food?
