The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 333

How could the garrisoned Jiannu be able to fight if they just ran away blindly?The Ming army is destined to be stained.

The casualty rate of this raid should not be higher than that of the more than [-] troops led by Mubayan, but the seizure will be the maximum amount of robbery during this period.

Fortunately, Jiannu ran fast, and if they were a quarter of an hour later, they might be intercepted by the galloping Ming army.

Even so, more than a dozen slow-moving Jiannu soldiers encountered the Ming army, and they had no choice but to leave their wives, children and belongings and run away alone.

Jiannu Zhengbing ran away, and they followed without notifying Banner Ding. By the time Banner Ding and the coat servant in charge of Aha reacted, the sound of the Ming army's rumbling horseshoes had already resounded through Kuandian Fort.

The Han people who can't see hope have become numb. They move mechanically every day without any emotion, like walking corpses. They don't know when they will fall to the ground and they will never get up.

It was so fast that the Han people were wondering what Jiannu, who was different from the past, was going to do. Suddenly, shouts in Chinese resounded through the valley, and the gray-black Kuandianbao appeared dazzling red.

The red flags fluttering in the wind brought vitality to this place. The confused Han people opened their cloudy eyes and looked at the Ming soldiers who were riding tall horses and dressed in red, thinking they were sleepwalking in Taixu.

I don't know who was the first to react with a hoarse voice: "The Ming army defeated Jiannu and captured Kuandian Fort. Those beasts escaped, and we were saved."

The small 1 people suddenly erupted, "It is true that the Ming army has come, and the heavens have opened their eyes!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooows

Fang Zhenghua followed Huang Han through the street where the sewage flowed and smelled, and seeing the unkempt and skinny Han people, he was full of emotions at this moment, and dragged the text and said:
"The adherents wept in the dust, and looked south to Master Wang for another year. Today, our family deeply understands the artistic conception of this poem!"

Huang Han said with a smile: "The adherents of the northern lands of the Great Song Dynasty never looked forward to the 'Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day' from the beginning to the end. They were not as lucky as the Han people who were enslaved in Kuandianbao."

Fang Zhenghua suddenly became serious, and he cupped his fists and saluted immediately, "Forget it, Master Huang, it was you who rescued the Han people from the sea of ​​suffering and gave them hope for rebirth. Our family salutes you!"

Huang Han corrected: "Wrong, the Holy Son of Heaven gave hope to these Han people. You and I are just the executors!"

"Yes, yes, our family didn't think about it. It is true that the Holy Son of Heaven has built a strategic position, and my generation can have the opportunity to make contributions to the country!"

Kuandianbao was boiling for more than ten miles. The erupting Han blacksmith held up a sledgehammer and smashed the bannermen who bullied them in the past, and the Ahas sent all the old and young of the former masters to see the shaman.

Seeing that the place was about to lose order and turn into anarchy, the "Red Banner Army" led the military service and promulgated a temporary law, and organized all the Han people into centurions for management.

Afterwards, all the Han people acted separately in an organized manner. Women and children boiled water, steamed cakes, cooked pork and mutton, and fed cattle and horses. Men began to go door-to-door to collect valuables, even quilts and bed sheets.

This should be the most prosperous place encountered in the [-]-odd miles of plunder northward, and the population, materials, and precious metals captured were close to [-]% of the total in the past ten days.

The one or two hundred Jiannu who escaped were young and strong, and they brought some gold and silver treasures, and most of them brought their families. The "Red Banner Army" cavalry chased at full speed for fifty miles before stopping.

Since there were four or five hundred warriors riding on Arabian warhorses, no more than one hundred Jian slaves escaped in the end. In all likelihood, their families were robbed, and more than half of the belongings they carried were seized.

It was completely unexpected that the area of ​​Kuandianbao was so full of oil and water. All the Ming soldiers were happy and happy, and even the laborers who had just been recruited couldn't hide their smiles.

The population is tens of thousands, the materials are piled up like a mountain, and the harvest is too great. It should be the time to collect it as soon as it is good.

The army rested at Kuandian Fort for one night. On the second day, Huang Han didn't do any show of hands. He directly issued an order to organize the soldiers and civilians to pack valuable supplies and load them into vehicles, and then see how much capacity is left and how much can be shipped back. wheat.

A lot of grain was seized. Huang Han only emphasized how much wheat could be transported. Because of the limited transport capacity, miscellaneous grains were no longer considered to be transported away. We could only try to transport some more wheat.

Now the soldiers and labor are very extravagant, and the horses, cattle, and donkeys are all fed with [-] grains. Even so, there should be tens of thousands of grains that will be burned when they retreat.

On the third day, under the leadership of Fang Zhenghua and Huang Long, the first group of soldiers and civilians embarked on a great retreat. There were tens of thousands of people, with two to three thousand carts of cattle and horses, and thousands of donkeys and war horses. supplies.

None of the Han people set out on the road empty-handed. They all tried their best to carry supplies, and even a small number of ten-year-old children carried one or twenty catties of wheat on their backs.

The Han people said it well, the burden will become lighter and lighter, and the burden will become smaller and smaller, because each of them can eat more than two catties of grain every day, which means that if they are full, their strength will increase every day. grow, and the grain on their backs is getting lighter every day.

Huang Han didn't take the road of retreat for the time being, he left behind three commanders of the "Red Banner Army" knights and more than a hundred men of Jin Yiwei led by Li Ruolian, who were in charge of cutting off the rear.

These thousand or so cavalry warriors are well-equipped and powerful, and each of them has two carefully selected horses, with unparalleled mobility.

Huang Han was different after his death. He did not return slowly to the south, but continued to go north to raid and plunder.

This time it was completely rough, saving people first, destroying as a supplement, and killing Jiannu was the norm. There was no time to search carefully. When they found Jiannu villages, they rushed in, murdered and set fire, and then evacuated immediately with the rescued Han people.

Anyway, every village that established slavery can capture war horses and draft horses for the Han people to ride.

Those Han people who fell behind did not care about them, because the "Red Banner Army" gave them enough food and instructed them to lead the cattle and carts and go southward. It would not be long before they should be able to meet the Ming people who are slowly retreating. Army troops.

In order to escape the pain of being slaves as soon as possible, the Han people would of course choose to run south, even if they stumbled along the way.

They did not dare to stay there, because the Jiannu masters were wiped out by the Ming army in all likelihood. If the Jiannu who went out to join the war came back, they found that their homes had been destroyed and all their family members had been killed, leaving only the Han people. ha.

Will these Ahas who are still alive have a chance?It is very possible to smash them to pieces with Jiannu's ferocity.
