Chapter 268 Calling the Flower Army
The heavy brimmage was scattered in the camp. After this battle, the main troops of the province have been completely destroyed, and there are less than a few thousand people who can go back alive.
"Text handle, gather all the cavalry troops and get ready to go out of the city." Zhang Yang said.
The head has fallen, and now it's out of the city? Shi Wenbing was a little confused.
"Brother, we are out of the city now. I'm afraid we will be ambushed by the tars in the dark." Shi Wenbing said.
Ambush? Now that the tars have been killed by themselves and lost their souls, how dare they ambush themselves? After this battle, the main force of the tars has long disappeared. The remaining thousands of tars must not let them slip back to Yangzhou. The weeds will be eradicated. The tars who dare to attack Gaoyoufu can't stay.
"Order Yuan Heng's navy to march south, block the tars on the border of Yangzhou, and destroy all the tars on the road."
Now that the tartar has become a frightened bird, we must not miss this good opportunity.
The defense battle of Gaoyou Mansion is over. After killing this group of tars, they will return to Xinghua and salt fields to destroy these two tars.
I don't know what's going on with Xinghua and the salt farm, especially the salt farm. Without a strong wall to defend, can it successfully block the invading tars?
"Brother, I've finally seen you. My old soup is worried about my eldest brother." With the sound, a tall figure came in.
"Dingchen," Zhang Yang said, "Why did you come here?"
His own order to Tang He was to stick to Taizhou. However, this Dingchen actually ran to Gaoyou Mansion with his cavalry. This was to disobey the order. However, today, outside the city, Tang He, with a small number of cavalry, killed the tar's catapult and crossbow machine, and relieved his siege, which was a match for his merits and demerits.
"Big brother, my scout found that there was a group of tars marching north with secret equipment. They were afraid that they would be unfavorable to the eldest brother, so they brought two cavalry troops to rush over. Unexpectedly, it was still late and didn't stop them halfway. Fortunately, they finally killed them and didn't let them succeed." Tang He said happily. Brother, what reward do you want for me?
"Reward? The order I gave you was to stay in Taizhou. Who asked you to come here? Zhang Yang's words turned around and said. What's the crime of disobeying the military order?
In fact, in doing so, Tang He has made a contribution. As a combat commander, he gives full play to his subjective ability to move his surname. It is not limited to the rules. Tang He still has something to praise. It's just that I have to beat him so that my tail won't go up to the sky.
"Brother, isn't my old soup anxious? I'm afraid that they will be unfavorable to Gaoyou. This time, my old soup is wrong. Tang He said that if you resist the order on the battlefield, you will kill the head.
"How is Taizhou? What if the Tartars go to attack Taizhou while you are not here?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Brother, Taizhou is as solid as gold soup. There is absolutely no problem. I'm going back now." Tang He saw that Zhang Yang didn't look good, and he didn't dare to take any more credit. He'd better go back and guard his own Taizhou.
"Wait, since you're here, take your people to the salt farm. There has been no message from there. I don't know what's going on with them." Zhang Yang said.
"Yes, big brother." Soup and a burst of excitement.
I don't know if there is something wrong with the carrier pigeon halfway. It has always been unable to contact the salt farm. The salt farm is its own foundation, and there must not be a problem. Anyway, the main force of the province has also been defeated. There is no power in the province to threaten itself for the time being.
Since entering the state of readiness, the first battalion responsible for guarding the salt field began to dig trenches outside the salt field. For the Tatar cavalry, the trench is a new matter and a powerful weapon to deal with the Tatar cavalry. At the beginning, in the murder port, Tang He killed the Nasuladdin's cavalry with the help of the trenches. .
People hide in the trench and will not be attacked by the other side's bows and arrows, but Tianque can shoot flexibly. Even if the tars rush through the trench, it will not pose too much threat to the people in the trenches. On the contrary, the tars should be very tragic if the horse misses and fall from the galloping horse.
Shiyi separated the two fire brigades in the trenches. They will be the main force guarding the salt field, while the cavalry detachment is mainly responsible for assault tasks. With the horse's mobile surname, the cavalry can circle behind the enemy and encircle and annihilate the enemy.
In the past six months, Li Shanchang has been staying in the salt farm, responsible for the production and management of the salt farm. For Li Shanchang, doing logistics work is his best. The salt farm has been operating normally. A large amount of refined salt, through the sales of Shixin, has been replaced with white silver and banknotes from the court.
Li Shanchang is a versatile person. Although he is a civil servant, he has also been helping Shiyi plan the guards of the salt farm and arrange the defense of the salt farm.
Unexpectedly, until the end of the defense of Gaoyou Mansion, there was no decent battle with the tars.
The deputy envoy of Huaixi was responsible for attacking the salt field. If you don't spend it first, you don't want to fight at all. Like most Mongolian troops, you don't spend it first. The army has no combat effectiveness at all, but bullying the people is majestic.
In addition, there is an indescribable way to make money: ask for money from the insurgents.
Although it is an indestructive army, I'm afraid there are only a few indestructed in Qiu's indestructed army. Most of the small rebels were just a bandit. They had no choice but to rebel. Although they were also anti-Yuan Dynasty, they were also robbing money, food and strong men everywhere.
Don't spend money to suppress the bandits. The usual practice is to send a bold man over and discuss with the intimist army. I will let you go of how much silver you give me. After discussing the appropriate amount, I will start to send troops to pretend to attack. The in the intimist army in front of me began to run and run, and the inmates began to lose things. The officers and soldiers behind began to pick it up. If they picked up enough, they would not chase it. The suppression of the bandits was over.
In this way, there is a suspicion of communicating with the enemy, but it is not afraid at all. The policy of the court has changed day and night. Today, it is still the enemy. Maybe it will be recruited tomorrow. At that time, it will not be a matter of communication with the enemy.
Therefore, the army that doesn't spend money first is rich enough to flow oil. They are borrowed to attack the salt farm, and they are not happy first. Everyone knows that the salt farm is a big deal. How much oil and water do you have to get to attack such a place?
Attack on the salt field? It's not stupid to spend it first. He has already found out that Zhang Shicheng's troops are very strong in combat effectiveness. If they really fight, I'm afraid it's enough for him to drink a pot. Therefore, if he doesn't spend it, he doesn't plan to fight at all. He surrounds the symbolic surname, and then sends a person in to blackmail the other party. It's okay to withdraw the army. It should be a beautiful thing.
It's just that all of this is to spend your own ideas first.
He didn't send cavalry to surround the salt farm first, so he was ready to send someone to talk about "business" according to the original method.
Shi Yi and Li Shanchang here were very surprised. They really had never seen such a tar. They just surrounded from afar, did not come up to attack, and did not intend to attack, as if they were to see the scenery.
After a while, I saw a man holding a white flag coming out of the position of the tartar.
These tartars are interesting. Do they want to surrender before they start a war? Shi Yi was a little confused, "Brother opposite, don't kill me. I'm here to negotiate." The man said as he walked.
Although the two countries exchanged troops, they could not walk around casually on the battlefield. Maybe there was an arrow flying in, and they would hang here. The people shouted and walked forward.
"Stand up, move forward again, and I'll open fire!" The front team is shouting.
"Speer, pass the order and let him go." Shi Yi said. He is full of curiosity about the purpose of this person.
Soon, the visitor was escorted over.
"Your Excellency, the little one's name is Liu Fu, and you didn't send me here first. For the sake of peace between us, we should negotiate." The man said that he was not a tartar, but a Han man. The Han people are more proficient in negotiating these things.
"For peace? Let's not bring so many cavalry to surround our salt field, and say it's for peace? Shi Yi sneered and said, "If you want to attack, let him come here!"
Liu Fu said flatteringly, "Of course, it's for peace. Otherwise, the Lord would have started to attack long ago. He sent me here just to find a solution."
The solution? The solution is to destroy all of you on the outside position! Shi Yi said, "If you have something to say, I don't have time to chat with you here. If the tar cavalry does not retreat, I will send troops out to attack." The last sentence is naturally to intimidate the other party. I don't plan to send troops out now. There are tens of thousands of tars outside, and I only have 1,000 cavalry. If I rush out, I will be surrounded by tartar cavalry. When I fight hand-to-hand, my army does not have an advantage. After letting the Tatars approach, it is more appropriate to destroy them in the position.
"Please think about it clearly. We are really sincere. As long as you agree to our request, we will never attack the salt field." Liu Fu said.
"What conditions do you want us to lay down our weapons and surrender?" Shi Yi asked, "Are you still going to recruit us?"
"Neither, neither," Liu Fu said quickly, "Now our army is under pressure, but for the sake of the interests of both sides, you did not immediately launch an attack. As long as you pay 5,000 taels of silver, we will withdraw the army to ensure that Qiu will not commit no crime."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. What kind of army is this? If you come out to fight, you will negotiate with the enemy. If you pay 5,000 taels, you won't fight. This is not like the army of the tars. It is clearly called the Huazi army!
"No, no, if you give 5,000 taels, I won't send troops to attack you." Shi Yi said that although he didn't know what the Tutors were thinking, the smell of conspiracy was still very strong.
"Your Excellency, please show your sincerity. I risked my life to negotiate with you just to find a solution, not to joke with you!" Liu Fu's tone was a little tough.
"I'm not kidding. I can't afford 5,000 taels, so I'll send troops out to attack." Shi Yi said.
Where is there such a beautiful thing? If you send troops around, I will obediently give you so much silver. Don't say no, even if there is, you can't give it. How can there be such a shameful thing!
"Since 5,000 taels can't do it, we can also have less. There will always be 3,000 taels, right?" Liu Fu changed his tone again and lost half of his own weight.
Shi Yi suddenly felt that it would be nice if Shixin was here. With Shixin's mouth, he might really be able to put Liu Fu in and let the other party give himself a few hundred taels of silver.
"Three thousand taels are available, but if you want it, let the adults come and get it first." Shi Yi changed his tone.
"We don't have time first. I'll just take it." Liu Fu was overjoyed. If he had asked for 10,000 taels first, but now he changed his words to 5,000 taels, the other party would definitely agree.
"Do you take it? "Ouch," Shi Yi said, "Come on, I'll serve you with pen and ink."
Holding a brush full of thick ink, Shi Yi wrote a few crooked big words: "Three thousand taels of silver."
"Go, take it."
"Your Excellency, please show your sincerity and stop playing tricks on us. Our patience is limited." Liu Fu was very angry.
"Come and see you off." Shi Yi said.
"Your Excellency, you will regret it." Liu Fu said threateningly.
" OK, I'm waiting." Shi Yi doesn't care.
He saw the other party leave, but Shi Yi still didn't figure it out. Which one did the tar on the opposite side sing? It's ridiculous. Do you think you can threaten yourself in this way?
On the contrary, Shi Yi can't wait for the other party to fight. At that time, he will use the fire in the trench to teach the tars a lifelong lesson. In this big rear, there are too few opportunities to fight the tars.
"Shi Yi, I heard that the tars sent someone to be a lobbyist just now?" Li Shanchang came in.
"Yes, they want us to pay 5,000 taels of silver, so let us go." Shi Yi said, "I don't know what tricks the Tatars are playing." Li Shanchang thought for a moment and understood, "This is not a trick. It should be true. It is said that this is what the tars in some places do."
Is it true? The corporal was funny: "It turned out to be begger. He asked for something to eat everywhere, but when he came this time, he must get rid of their front teeth!"
How can such an army have any combat effectiveness? On the contrary, Shiyi had an impulse to let the cavalry go out and do this group of begglers fiercely.
Liu Fu went back angrily and got angry.
"I kindly want to leave you a way to live. Who knows, you don't know what's good or bad, and you dare to tease me like this." He also said, "We have to show them some color and let them know how powerful we are."
"Yes, my lord, you must show him some color."
"Come on!" Don't shout for the time.
"Yes, my lord." The guards came in.
"Order the first team to rob the nearby village! Arrest the villagers. Don't make up your mind first.
If Shi Yi was present, he would definitely point to his nose and scold him: "If you dare not come up to fight against me, you will be angry with the unarmed villagers. You are really a group of beggers!"
Of course, there is no such idea. In his opinion, everything is natural. Since the other party refuses to bow, let them bow their heads. Attack the salt field? That's a lot of casualties, and it's much safer to rob the people. At that time, let's see if the other party bows his head or not. At that time, you have to ask them for at least 10,000 taels!
If Genghis Khan knew, I don't know if he would jump out of the coffin, his descendants had become so unpromising. In fact, looking at the whole Yuan Dynasty, there were not many armies with combat effectiveness. Most of the troops were actually chased away by the Red Turban Army and collapsed at a touch. They had long been no longer as brave as before.
The hundred-man team, who received the order, was very happy and shouted and rushed to the village in the west. They had wanted to vent for a long time.
Soon, in the village in the west, there were heartbreaking shouts, children's cries, women's screams, all of which made the Tars excited.
A stream of black smoke came out of the village, and the excited tar soldiers had begun to set fire to the house.
"Lord Tang, there's something going on over there!" Tang He, with two hundred-man cavalry, just rushed over from the west.
Tang He looked around. The village in the distance was Zhaojia Village in Dingxi. In Zhang Yang's team, dozens of young men came out of Zhaojia Village.
In today's village, there is thick smoke. It is a trace of burning in the thatched hut, and you can also hear the cry.
The beast is really a beast. The blind can also guess that the tar soldiers must be doing evil.
"Go up and kill them!" With a loud shout, he patted the front immediately.
"Let's go!" The others also rushed up, while rushing, removing the sky from the back.
A tartar soldier was coming out of the village, carrying a spear. The spear was full of stolen things. The two fluttering chickens were also tied to their wings and picked up on the tip of the spear.
Hearing a noise outside, he raised his head. In the distance, a team of cavalry was coming.
"Ban!" With a fire, he was shot in the chest and fell down.
"Encircle this village, not a single tar can run away!" Tang He's eyes turned red.
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately dispersed and surrounded the village.
From time to time, there was the sound of ping-pong. All the tars who were left alone were put down on the ground.
The soldiers pushed in. From time to time, they could see the villagers who fell to the ground. There were several women whose lower bodies had been stripled, and the soldiers were burning with anger. These beasts!
In fact, it is normal for the Tatars to do these things. The Tatars are the first-class people. If they deal with the southerners of the fourth-class people, they will only lose their heads after killing them, and the law is allowed to forcibly annihire a woman. However, with the popularity of Zhang Yang's ruling area, the concept of equality for all has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Seeing the tars raping their compatriots, everyone hates the tars to death.
"If you don't leave one, kill all the tartars!" Tang He shouted.
Suddenly, the tar cavalry rushed out of the main road in the village.
Hearing the sound of fire outside, the tars knew that they were not good. They all gathered together to charge at full speed and rush out of the encirclement.
However, they don't know that such a dense formation is convenient for the fire.
"Ban, bang, bang." All the fires fired at the tars, and the dense rain flew to the tartars.
