Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 137 The Great Victory
first day of november
At this time, the number of people entering Hetao has reached more than 8000 households, 86 new settlements have been opened, and countless people are still on the way.

Such a big movement must have alarmed Erdos Wanhu, and it is better to preemptively wait for the opponent to fight.

Boren asked for a fight, wanting to strike first and raid the Ordos before the next heavy snowfall.

Liangchen agreed to Boren's challenge, and after reporting to Zhang Zongxian, he began preparations.

For this battle, he had to rush for more than 300 miles to reach the Ulan Mulun River, which is the city of Ordos in his previous life.

It is the place where Wanhu of Ordos spends the winter, and most of the people and horses of the whole tribe live there.And the place is easy to find, just walk up the Yeku River in Shenmu County.

But after all, it is a tribe of 5 households, which means that the entire tribe has at least 1 people. At present, even if all the cavalry troops pull out the people in the horse market, there are less than [-] people.

After Zhang Zongxian got the report, although he felt that it was risky, he still agreed to the plan.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Boren took the assembled cavalry, a total of five regiments, plus all the existing horses, carrying a large amount of supplies.

Starting from the forward base, walk to Huangpuchuan River and then cross the river to continue forward.

Three days after Boren dispatched troops, it suddenly snowed heavily, and so far the advance base had lost contact with Boren's raiding corps.

At the moment when it was snowing, Liangchen began to regret agreeing to Boren to lead the raid. While he sent Ye Bushou to track the movement of the raiding regiment, he reported the situation to Zhang Zongxian.

Since the grassland was still covered with heavy snow when they set off, the raiding corps could only lead the horse forward.
The moment Zhang Zongxian received the report, he was preparing to give his son a full moon, although he was very worried about Boren's safety.

But Zhang Zongxian knew that there should be no chaos at this time, and then ordered Liangchen to prepare for the worst. If Boren's entire army was wiped out, he would have to prepare for revenge against the Tartars in the coming year.

It is necessary to mobilize more young and strong people to go out of the side wall to resist the Tartars before the beginning of spring.If the cavalry brigade is really lost, it means that they will have no mobile force, and the original plan of defending against the enemy will not be realized.

Fortunately, there is a blast wall that can quickly establish a strong camp. Coupled with flintlock guns and cannons, the Tartars can't attack the forward base.

It's just that this will inevitably delay the progress, and it will not be able to expand until the new cavalry brigade is built.

Ever since he learned that Boren could not be contacted, Zhang Zongxian had to ask Yunong dozens of times every day:

"Is there any news about the cavalry brigade?"

Zhang Zongxian has always regarded these disciples as his sons, and now that their lives and deaths are uncertain, he regrets approving their adventure.He secretly cursed himself for being dazzled by the smoothness at the beginning.

Zhang Zongxian's mood was not better until the day of his son's full moon.Holding her son in her arms, she lamented that in her previous life she was a prodigal son who never got married and had no children, but now she has a son in the Ming Dynasty.

Su'e was also very happy, feeling that she had given birth to Zhang Zongxian's eldest son, and that little vixen could no longer threaten her status.

The eldest son of Zhizhou is full of guests. Not only the gentry and officials from various counties sent gifts, but also many people spontaneously made tiger-head hats and tiger-head shoes to Zhizhou's home.

Shopkeeper Liang even forged a pure gold longevity lock for his grandson, and now Shopkeeper Liang has become the richest man in Qingjian County.The whole family is full of wealth when they go out.

Zhang Zongxian named his son Zhang Lifa, hoping that when the child grows up, he will have achieved the great cause of legislation and give the people a great Ming that governs the country according to law.

When Zhang Zongxian was receiving the guests, Yunong walked up to Zhang Zongxian and said that he had something important to report.

It turned out that when Boren led the raiding cavalry and arrived at the grassland where Wanhu spent the winter in Ordos with one night's journey.

Suddenly it snowed heavily. In order not to disperse the cavalry in the heavy snow, Boren immediately ordered to set up camp.

All the cavalry took out the explosion-proof wall and stretched it open, directly filled it with snow, and then connected the installed explosion-proof wall, so that in less than an hour, a camp with a two-meter-high wall was erected on the grassland.

Then the cavalry relied on the blast-proof wall to prop up the marching tent, took out the honeycomb coal stove they carried, and began to boil luncheon meat and stew mushroom soup.

This snow fell for a day and a night, and the snow did not stop until the seventh night after departure, when the fuel we carried had been used up.

Boren immediately decided to take advantage of the snow to stop and immediately abandon the camp. With the mentality of failure or benevolence, he followed the Dawulan Mulun River to the camp of Wanhu in Ordos.

After a night of forced marching, they finally bypassed the outer camps and arrived outside the enemy's main camp before dawn. Fortunately, their camp was by the river, otherwise even with a horse market caravan as a guide, it would be difficult to find them in the dark .

Ordos Wanhu was completely unprepared. How could someone attack them in such heavy snow weather? Everyone, no matter noble or slave, was sleeping soundly in the yurt.

Boren first ordered the rocket artillery battalion to prepare for the launch immediately, and asked them to launch all the rockets they brought to the enemy camp.

Then let the cavalry start to move their bodies and check their weapons.He also summoned the officers to assign tasks and mobilize the officers before the station.

"The tents of the Tartars are right ahead, go back and tell the soldiers that we can only survive if we break through the enemy camp in front of us, and there is everything we want in the enemy camp.

Stove, hot water, hot soup, and roast lamb.Only by killing the enemy can we drink hot soup and eat roast sheep, otherwise we can only freeze to death on the grassland.

If you want to survive, you can only fight to the death. After the rockets launched in a while fall into the enemy camp, everyone in the army will follow me into the enemy camp. "

Everyone in the cavalry brigade at this time, whether they were officers or soldiers, was exhausted, but their desire to live made them murderous.

After the Rocket Battalion installed one hundred rockets with a charge of [-] kilograms on the launcher, Boren ordered the charging horn to be sounded, and all the rockets were also ignited and launched.

Nearly [-] cavalry rushed to the camp of Wanhu in Ordos at the same time.

The tartars who were sleeping in the yurt were first awakened by the sound of the horseshoes of the cavalry, but before they could react, they were directly blown away by the falling rockets.

The continuous explosions caused complete chaos in the entire camp. At this time, the cavalry brigade had already rushed to the front of the tent, and the soldiers in the front row pulled out their claws and pulled down the fence of the camp.

After the fence fell, the rest of the cavalry rushed into the camp brandishing their sabers, cutting anyone they saw.Some cavalry took out grenades and threw them into the camp.Blow up the Tartars hiding in the camp.

More than ten years of peaceful borders have completely wiped out the bravery of the Tumote tribe in Ordos.

Until the cavalry pierced through the entire camp, they did not form any effective countermeasures. After piercing the camp, Boren did not stop, leading the cavalry to continue charging back and forth until the resistance of the Tartars was completely smashed.

Those who dared to resist have been killed, and the nobles of Wanhu in Ordos have all hid in their tents, and now they have become Boren's spoils of war.

After the division of troops completely occupied the camp, it was found that no less than 5 people had been captured, and men accounted for more than half of them.

What Boren occupied was only the largest winter camp in Wanhu, Ordos, and there were other winter camps nearby.

Since their numbers were too small to completely encircle the camp, some Tartars must have fled the camp and sought help from other camps.

Boren acted decisively, while arranging two regiments to separate the male and female prisoners into the yurts that were not blown up, and then one yurt by yurt tricked the captured males to the river to be executed.

On the other side, let the other two groups seize the time to boil water, cook and rest, and the remaining group was on guard.Then the five regiments were resting in rotation.

In the afternoon, after all the men had been executed, the reinforcements from the Tartars still did not appear.

At this time, the camp has also been repaired, and the soldiers of the five regiments have also completed their rotation and rest.Boren left two regiments of cavalry guarding the camp, and led the remaining three regiments to attack the other camps of the Wanhu Department of Ordos.

The remaining camps of Wanhu in Ordos are members of peripheral tribes, and their combat power is not as good as that of the cavalry of the headquarters.

After learning that the main camp was attacked, I originally wanted to support it, but the people who escaped from the headquarters were frightened and stupid. They only knew that the Ming army attacked, but it was impossible to say how many cavalry attacked the main camp.

While they were hesitating, Boren had already led the cavalry to kill them. At this time, the cavalry had rested and had a full meal, and their horses were replaced with captured war horses.

After smashing through the two outlying camps, the remaining Tartar camps ignored the snow, abandoned the camp livestock and ran westward.

Boren then escorted the captives, drove away the livestock discarded by the enemy, and burned all the surrounding camps.Returned to the Ordos Wanhu headquarters camp.

On the day the Tartar camp was conquered, Boren sent a messenger team to report back from the side wall near Shenmu County along the Dawulan Mulun River.

It was not until the day when Zhang Zongxian's child was full moon that the news of Boren's victory reached the Jiazhou government office.

After learning that Boren was fine and had seized a large amount of spoils, Zhang Zongxian's hanging heart was finally relieved.I got very drunk that day.Everyone thought that Zhizhou was happy for his son's full moon.

They didn't know that in the hometown of Hetao hundreds of miles away, the cavalry led by Boren beheaded no less than 50, captured [-] cattle and sheep, and [-] horses, while their own losses were less than a hundred.

After Zhang Zongxian woke up the next day, he immediately wrote a letter to commend the cavalry brigade, announcing that all the cavalry who participated in this battle would receive second-class individual merit, and all cavalry regiments participating in the battle would receive second-class collective merit, and they would also be awarded the custom-made flag of the cavalry regiment participating in the battle. honor.

Zhang Zongxian also ordered the creation of an exclusive commemorative medal for this battle, which will be distributed after Boren's triumphant return.

After the settlement of the Ordos Ministry in World War I, at least until next autumn, no Tartars will be able to threaten the immigrant settlements.

It's a pity that there are not enough officers, otherwise a few more cavalry brigades can be formed, and they can go straight to Guihua City.

Now that we have reached the Dawulan Mulun River, we can't give up. Anyway, with the urgency of the Ming government, there must be more refugees fleeing to Jiazhou in the spring.

Then in one go, build the immigrant settlements to the headquarters of the Ordos Wanhu Headquarters, which is the Ordos City in the previous life.

In this case, the 100 million refugees will not be afraid, and immediately asked the disciples to calculate how much material is needed to establish an immigrant settlement, and he himself is studying how to build the forward base there, so as to resist the harassment of the Tartars.

There are a total of [-] Wanhu tribes in the Tumed tribe, except for the Ordos tribe, which has been wiped out, can pose a threat to the existing immigrant settlements.

There are also the Dacheng Taiji Wanhu Department in the east of the Yellow River, the Wushen Wanhu Department in the west of Ordos, and the Dalate Wanhu Department in Baotou in the previous life.

The Wushen Wanhu Department and the Dalat Wanhu Department said that as long as a fortress is built at the original location of the Ordos Department, and a cavalry brigade is stationed, the two departments can basically be guarded.

The Dacheng Taiji Wanhu Department on the east side of the Yellow River is currently the most threatening. From a defensive point of view, it is necessary to restore the former Dongshengwei.

Restoring Dongshengwei can also pose a threat to Guihua City and squeeze the activity space of Dacheng Taiji Wanhu Department.It's just that at least two brigades of cavalry and one infantry brigade are needed to restore Dongshengwei.

Speaking of which, there is still a shortage of officers!Even after the beginning of the spring, it is not enough to transfer a group of officers from the school!No, we can only promote a group of soldiers to start a crash course.

Moreover, in order to prevent small groups of cavalry from harassing the settlements and causing damage to the settlements, they also need to fire guns to the people in the settlements. Lumi blunderbuss are enough, and they are equipped with special hand grenades for defending the city.

In this way, relying on the explosion-proof wall, a hundred cavalry settlements can resist by themselves. After the beacon fire is lit, the nearby settlements will send people to support them.

After having a plan, Zhang Zongxian began to issue orders to Liangchen, asking him to train two more cavalry brigades before May next year, and to transfer soldiers who performed well this time to participate in a short-term officer training regiment.

The soldiers from Jiazhou were dispatched to the settlements to train the people to use Lumi guns and grenades.Young adults in the settlements must receive five days of queue training every month.

The juvenile battalion moved to the advance base named Qianwei No. [-], and the infantry regiment of Qianwei No. [-] advanced to the west bank of the Yellow River twenty miles north of the Niutouwan side wall in Datong Town, where Qianwei No. [-] was established.As a temporary means of defense before restoring Dongshengwei.

The future Shuofang City will be a heavy industrial city. There are not only coal mines that can be mined in the open pit, but also minerals such as iron and copper, and even trona.

Zhang Zongxian has gathered a large number of mining merchants, planning to enter Shuofang City to mine various minerals after the beginning of spring.

And it is planned to move all the various military workshops that were originally located in Qingjian County to Shuofang City.A brand new production line is established here.The workshop in Qingjian County was gradually abandoned.

Even if the court finds something?Or force him to rebel, he can deal with it calmly.

The city was planned according to the previous city planning plan.There will be spacious streets, spacious houses with transparent glass, running water directly to the home, perfect sewers, no street lights, and public baths and public toilets will be built.

There will not be a single wooden building in the city, and all will be built with masonry structures. With the further application of cement, high-rise buildings with more than ten floors will be built.
