Chapter 173 Attack on the Salt Field

"Brothers, today's battle has hit our majesty and the arrogance of the tars. From now on, we will no longer be afraid of the tartars. They are all paper tigers in front of us!" Zhang Yang stood on the stage of the training ground and said to the soldiers under the stage.

The soldiers below are all very excited. Today's battle is really enjoyable! Even those novices who are a little afraid on the battlefield have eased. They can't wait to continue to fight and prove that they are not a cowards.

"Brothers, in this battle, we killed nearly 500 tar cavalry and captured 400 war horses. This is just the beginning!" Zhang Yang said on the stage, "Our goal is to take back the country of our Han people from the hands of the tars. We are not the fourth class, we are the masters here!"

"We are the masters here, we are the masters here!" Tang He raised Tianque and shouted under the stage.

"We are the masters here, we are the masters here!" More than 200 soldiers followed and shouted. They raised the sky in their hands and the fine steel spear, as if they were going to break the sky.

Zhang Yang pressed it with his hand, and the stage immediately calmed down.

"Although we just finished the battle in the morning and only rested for an hour, I order you to rush to the Baiju Salt Farm a hundred miles to the east before dark. Can everyone do it?"

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

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

"All right, now, let's go!" Zhang Yang waved his hand, and his team set off magnificently.

Everyone carries their own Tianque, carrying enough ammunition, and the four grenades on their backs are bumping with the ups and downs of the horse's back. Since there is a horse, everyone wants to ride a horse. Except for a few who really can't ride, most of them have become cavalry. Of course, this cavalry is limited to riding a horse and wants to practice. Controlling the horses as well as the tar cavalry is by no means a good skill. It is even more impossible to shoot accurately on the back of a bumpy horse. Therefore, it is still a mounted infantry now.

Zhang Yang rode a horse and walked next to the team. His team was about to capture the Baiju salt field and attack the official Baiju salt field. What does this mean? I'm afraid everyone knows in their hearts that a good man should be like this. He should fight on the battlefield and make contributions!

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

I don't know how many times Zhang Yang has walked on this road. From the murder port to the salt farm, he took the waterway and the land road. Every time he came and went in a hurry, he had to be careful. And this time, you can finally walk openly to the Baiju Salt Farm without worrying about being found in the secret of the murder port.

Attacking the Baiju salt farm is actually very simple. Only a few Mongolians in the salt farm do security work, and their main task is to prevent the salt people of the salt farm from selling salt without permission. At the beginning, the army was stationed in the salt farm, but with the chaos of war, the army had long been transferred to suppress the uprising. Now, there are only a small number of scattered soldiers in the salt field to do the defense work, only dozens of people. Therefore, there is no suspense in this battle.

The only thing to consider is the political impact after the capture of the salt field. The salt field is the main source of finance of the Yuan Dynasty. After the salt field is conquered and you have a money printing machine, how will the senior management of the Yuan Dynasty react? Will you send a brigade to destroy yourself?

Zhang Yang and Li Shanchang have discussed it several times, and the result is that they won't do it for the time being, because now the Yuan Dynasty is being irritated by the Red Turban Army everywhere, and there is no time to worry about it at all. Even if they know their existence, they will only regard themselves as a pole and run away. Therefore, after hitting the salt field, the most The main thing is to recruit troops immediately and expand the army. By the time the upper level of the court reacted, he had strengthened his strength and had the capital to confront the court.

"Brother, the front is coming soon." Tang Hezongma came back and reported to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang raised his head and looked from afar. The stream was gurgling, and the bamboo forest on the shore was still so green. On the other side of the bamboo forest, it was his own village. Looking into the distance, the unique huge black smoke was where the salt farm was located. The salt people still used firewood to make salt.

"The order, according to the original plan, Bian Yuanheng and Lv Zhen went to their respective positions to defend, Tang He's headquarters, checked the weapons, prepared for battle, and took 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 seems to be a fork in the river, and the team is divided into three parts: Bian Yuanheng took more than 20 people to the north and set up a defense line to defend the north. Lv Zhen took her own people and ran south, ready to guard against the support of the tars from the south at any time. Tang He was very excited. In this attack on Baiju Salt Farm, the eldest brother valued himself so much and gave himself the heavy responsibility of the main attack. He must do a good job.

Zhang Yang took his own guard and walked to the end. As a reserve team, he would support wherever there was a situation.

............ On the lookout guard set up with a bamboo pole, a salted man was looking lazily on it.

Since Qiu Yi died, their son has been a little better. When Qiu Yi was there, he relied on himself as a Mongolian, and everyone else would be bullied by him. Although they were all archers, his status was a hundred times higher than others.

Qiu Yi died, and Gaoyou Prefecture sent another person to replace Qiu Yi, and the newcomer did not show up at all. He has been staying in Xinghua City. Compared with this salt field without any entertainment venues, Xinghua City is of course much more prosperous.

It's good. At least they are much better. They bully and bully those salt people, squeeze their money, and live a happy life.

I just have to pedal the high watchtower every day to observe the situation everywhere, whether there are suspicious boats in the river, and whether the salt people are working seriously. Here, it is natural to see clearly.

The barracks in the distance were empty, and the army was transferred to the north to suppress Liu Futong's uprising six months ago. Otherwise, where is your turn to be on duty 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 quilt and have a naked woman!

He looked down. The salt people below were still working. Recently, Lord Si Cheng didn't know what he was thinking and asked the salt people to work for an hour or two more, so that the salt production of the salt farm would increase. However, what's the benefit of this? Is he secretly selling the salt from the salt farm?

Yanding prevented him from thinking like this, which had nothing to do with him, and he was not interested.

Looking at the red glow in the sky, this day is going to pass again. If you stay for a while, someone will replace you. It's better to be on guard at night. No one checks it at all. Dress thickly and sleep all night.

Other guards also stand lazily in various key parts of the salt farm. The salt farm has high walls. In addition to the river, there is only one entrance for the salt people to pass through, which can prevent salt people from secretly taking the salt out.

His eyes swept to the south, as if there was a team of people galloping south in the distance. He rubbed his eyes. When it was about to dark, his eyes were not very good. Maybe he was dazzled.

He fixed his eyes again and saw that the group of people had stopped and hid on a high ground in the south.

There is a problem! He wanted to call someone down and go and check it out.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of "bang" broke the tranquility of the evening.
