The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 100
People in Pisces Village were stationed all night long, seeing that the stacks of wheat were getting less and less.

When the sky was slightly bright, Song Pengfei and Hanzi led the main force of the Red Banner Army to lead the horses and drive the animals back to Zunhua on the mountain road. This team was also fully loaded. The material is to carry a few sacks of wheat.

It is inevitable that their actions cannot be quick, but fortunately, the chances of the Jin army after encountering a large stock are very low.

Large-scale cavalry raids on long mountain roads cannot be carried out and are not conducive to cavalry battles. Most of Hanzi, Yang Hanwei, Yang Guoen, Huang Sifang, etc. are martial artists.

As long as their infantry combat skills are not confronted by large-scale army formations, they will be stronger, because small-scale infantry engagements are similar to group fights. Martial artists are of course like ducks in water, and they will definitely not suffer when encountering small groups of enemy troops.

Huang Han took Wang Zhanpeng and Wang Zhicheng to communicate with the people who were constantly coming and going, asking them about their living conditions and population structure in a friendly manner, and encouraging everyone to live tenaciously, and advising everyone not to be a thief. Of course, they received countless blessings of gratitude.

The soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" of Yang Danian's General Banner and Yuan Siming's General Banner established a cordon ten miles outside the mountain pass.

In order to prevent the large cavalry of the Houjin Army from easily reaching Pisces Village, Yang Danian and the others set up obstacles at a more dangerous crossing less than two miles away from the mountain pass.

They stacked firewood and felled trees at the forty or fifty paces wide crossing, leaving only a passage wide enough for two riders to pass side by side.

Yuan Siming originally planned to pile up six or seven hundred large carts that could not be taken away as a roadblock. When he found a large group, he set fire to stop the enemy when the Jin army attacked.

But the common people headed by Qiao Anshan were reluctant to part with those carts. They were going to dismantle all the carts and carry them away. Hundreds of strong laborers volunteered to help Yang Danian collect dry firewood, and cut down trees to make roadblocks.

The common people knew what was good or bad, Huang Han could lead his troops to retreat early in the morning, and he didn't have to take the risk to stay behind himself, and he didn't need to work hard to cut down trees and pile up firewood in order to stop the queen's army.

It is obvious that this red flag waving team is for the safety of the common people, and to allow the common people time to move more food and supplies.

Around [-] Han people probably came to Pisces Village to transport food, and the "Red Banner Army" established an image of loving the people in the hearts of the people.

The glorious image of this completely different army has remained in the hearts of these villagers. It is believed that these ordinary people will soon spread the story of the "Red Banner Army" to all the mountain villages in the south of Yanshan Mountain.

The Hou Jin army was not as powerful as imagined, Huang Han led two general bannermen and waited until noon, but no enemy was killed.

At this time, the common people even disassembled the carts and carried them to the mountains. There was no valuable material left in Pisces Village, only more than 300 naked and headless corpses were left.

Huang Han believed that the common people did not go far away, and if his heirs stayed for an extra hour, the safety of the common people would be more guaranteed. Moreover, it is impossible for Jiannu to appear and be attacked by thousands of troops. They would always send scouts to report to Pisces Village. battlefield.

In fact, except for the small basin where Pisces Village is located, the road conditions are very bad, and it cannot satisfy thousands of troops to deploy. It is not ideal as a battlefield for cavalry duels, and it is likely to be used as a refueling tactic.

How can the more than one hundred soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" spend most of their time preparing in vain?It is always necessary to kill a few Jiannu sentry horses to make the Jin army feel uncomfortable, and slow down their marching pace as much as possible to be worthy of spending a long time here.

Santun Yingcheng is very important. E guards the road leading to Longjingguan, which is also the way home for the Hou Jin army.

The guard Wakda had to confront the restless Ming army stationed in Zunhua City, and he had to send troops to escort the supplies. There were really not many troops that could be mobilized.

However, the place where Huang Han attacked must be saved. It was the main artery through which the Hou Jin army transported the results of their looting outside the pass.It was a loss for Jiannu to be cut off by the Ming army for a day, resulting in a large amount of food and supplies being stranded in Santun Yingcheng.

Dredging the transportation line to repel the Ming army was the only choice. Wakda could only send Niulu Ezhen La Mazhang to lead [-] Tartar cavalry and [-] Banner armored men.

La Mazhang's task is to open the road from Santun Yingcheng to Longjingguan. It is enough to drive out the Ming army so that they cannot threaten the main artery for transporting supplies. Preserving strength is the most important thing. Killing the Ming army needs to be done according to one's ability. .

Niu Lu'e really did what he could. He was careful along the way, and sent three sentry cavalry to go out [-] li ahead of the main force to scout the road conditions.

The three groups of sentinel horses have a total of 79 riders, and they are arranged in a multiplied manner. In the first group, a ten-man leader of the Tartars leads ten riders to explore the road under the supervision of a slave vest, and the second wave of twenty riders is led by two. There is a Jiannu white armor soldier, and the leader of the third group of 46 Jiannu armor soldiers is Bashkuba Yala.

Huang Han was very bad, he didn't even think about expanding the results of the war again, he just wanted to take advantage of it and slip away.

When the ten-member Tazi light cavalry appeared in sight, Yang Danian's general banner cut off their way back and rushed north, while Yuan Siming's general banner followed the road to the south to attack head-on.

Since they basically greeted each other with bows and arrows and threw guns, the "Red Banner Army" wiped out the eleven Houjin troops who fell into the encirclement at the cost of only five minor injuries.

After the second round, the sentry horses of the Golden Army actually discovered that a large group of Ming troops had blocked the road, because the enemies that could only be seen were twice as close to their own.

Soon the Jiannu in the back knew that a team of well-equipped Ming troops was waiting for work not far ahead. The exact number was unknown, but it was certain that there would be no less than a hundred cavalry. As for how many Ming troops were hiding and waiting to ambush the Jin army, God only knows.

The situation ahead is so dangerous, of course the main general La Machang will take every step of the way.

Their marching speed was even slower, and they simply dispatched Ba Yala to lead the elite infantry to dismount their horses and hold up leather shields and iron shields to occupy the dangerous terrain in the form of foot combat.

Jiannu is different from the Tartars. Their fighters are basically all-around infantry and cavalry combat, and they often practice infantry formation and formation.

It's a pity that Jiannu was completely scaring themselves. They didn't find the Ming army at all in what they thought was an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place.

Seeing Jiannu approaching with caution all the way, Huang Han knew that the "Red Banner Army" relying on two general banners should have no chance to take advantage of it, so he set fire decisively and retreated.

Seeing that the road was blocked by the raging fire, Niu Lu Ezhen, who was on tenterhooks, finally let out a long breath.

He has been in battle for a long time, and when he saw the Ming army setting fire to block the way, he knew that he would not face a fierce battle. The enemy should have run away.
