Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

In Xuancheng, Yang Chendong only stayed for two days before leaving. Deng Qiang and Shi Wanshan accompanied everyone to Dalu City. In this city, the cavalry strengthened two Tuan Lu Zhuo is waiting here. When he saw Yang Chendong appearing in front of the team riding a White Dragon horse from a distance, he excitedly greeted him, and when he was far away, he dismounted and saluted, in order to show respect and miss. .

Yang Chendong, riding on the horse, first returned a military salute, and then looked towards Shi Wanshan and Deng Qiang who were accompanying him and said, “I’ll introduce you to both of you. This is the commander of the second regiment of the mercenary reinforcement. Lu Zhuo is a member of the tiger general.”

“I have met Captain Lu.” Deng Qiang and Shi Wanshan said in a very admiring manner.

Lu Zhuo is naturally cup one fist in the other hand in return. After waiting for the two parties to meet, Yang Chendong said: “Okay, this is the city of Lu. I will deliver it to you now. In the future, the food and grass needed by our mercenaries will be delivered here. When the time comes, I hope that the two Give it convenience, don’t make everyone unhappy, it’s not good to meet the swordsmen and soldiers.”

In the previous words, Yang Chendong still said with a smile, but when it comes to the latter, it is already an expression. Become a little serious, completely different.

Shi Wanshan and Deng Qiang who heard these words were shocked, but there was no expression on their faces. They just smiled and said: “Where, where, everyone is a family, a family.”

“That’s good. Sending you a thousand miles away, there will be a farewell, let’s not live here.” Yang Chendong laughed heartily with his legs clamped on the belly of the White Dragon horse. At the moment, the crowds waited for the mighty cause to pass through the city of Dalu, which was already unpopulated, and went straight to the direction of Shicheng.

Looking at Xiao Feng’s Cold Front regiment and Yang Chendong entire group, which are jointly guarded by the Second Cavalry Regiment, leave far away, Shi Wanshan looked at his back and said with emotion, “Deng Eunuch, you Say whether this is let the tiger returns to the mountains.”

“Forbidden.” Deng Qiang said nervously as if he was stepped on his tail, and then looked around and found no one Pay attention to this, and just said in a low voice: “General Shi, there are some things that nobody likes us can do. We only need to complete the errands delivered by the Imperial Court.”

“Good, good.” Shi Wanshan pretended to look like a panic and was nodded again and again, but in his heart he recognized the statement just now. Although he and Yang Chendong only met twice before and after, he just had a feeling that this person is extraordinary. If he is not restrained, once he becomes a force, he is afraid that he will meet the wind and the cloud, namely Dragon Transformation.

Furthermore, Yang Chendong, he doesn’t know how Wan Stone Mountain will evaluate him. Even if he knows it, he won’t care. On the contrary, he is right that Lu Zhuo, not Hu Mang, came to welcome him. curious. The telegram he was about to return was sent back a few days earlier, and it is said that Hu Mang should come to welcome him in person.

Could it be that there is something wrong with Sicheng? With incomprehension and confusion, Yang Chendong asked the head of Lu Zhuo who came to meet him.

“Yes.” Lu Zhuo did not conceal the slightest nodded, in front of Yang Chendong, he did not dare to lie. “Not long after the Chinese New Year, there was a sudden movement in the northwest. The Mobei Mongolian subdivision suddenly sent troops to attack the capital, where the defending general Muren was defeated and led his troops to evacuate, and it became the site of the Mobei Mongolian subdivision. .But there is too close to our beginning city, only more then 200 li, the cavalry rushes, it will soon threaten our safety, Master Tiger fears that there will be problems in the future, so he took advantage of the fact that the opponent’s foothold was not stable, The soldiers launched an attack there, and there was really no time to answer Lucheng to pick up the Sixth Young Master, so I arranged for me to come with the Second Cavalry Regiment.”

“Take the capital?” Yang Chendong listened to Lu Zhuo’s introduction, first the forehead was nodded. If this is the case, you will never allow others to get involved. To paraphrase as the saying goes, how can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?

But the problem has arisen again. Now that everyone understands the problem, what does the Mobei Mongolian Ministry think? They knew that mercenaries would not give up and would not allow them to get involved in the surrounding areas of Sicheng. Why did they occupy that place? There is still snow on the grassland at this time, but it is not a good time for grazing. Even if it is, a small capital of the capital should not allow Mobei Mongolia to take such a big risk.

Intuition suddenly told Yang Chendong that things were a little bit unreasonable. With the idea that something abnormal is a demon, Yang Chendong complexion changed and said to Yang Er next to him, “Quickly, send a telegram to ask Sicheng if Hu Mang has dispatched troops, if not, let them hold off. “

Seeing that Sixth Young Master’s face changed drastically, Yang Er quickly replied to complied, and then he asked someone to send a telegram. After a while, the telegram received a reply, and Commander Tiger had already led the army to set off three days ago, and he should have been handed over with the Mongolian Ministry of Mobei.

“Speed ​​up the march and rush back to Sicheng earlier.” Yang Chendong, who heard the news, did not speak, but took the initiative to speed up the march. In view of Yang Chendong’s performance, others started to speed up involuntarily.

Only half a day later, a new telegram was delivered to Yang Chendong, and as expected, something went wrong. The telegram said that there was a trap in the capital city, and the mercenaries were unprepared. The army suffered heavy losses. In the end, the Tatar cavalry regiment led by Su He had a bloody road. Now they had fled back to Sicheng, and the chasing soldiers were as close as possible to the outside of Sicheng.

There is also a long list of losses under the telegram. Looking at the above introduction, the Independent Division lost four battalions, the Tatar Cavalry lost more than half of the battle, and more than 1,500 people died. The three regiments just formed by the recruits also lost as much as two regiments, about 4,000 people. The worst was that the cavalry strengthened one regiment. The entire regiment was 3,000 taels with 100 people. In the end, only less than 500 people escaped, including two battalion commanders. Gao Danhua was killed and a battalion commander Deng Yu was seriously injured.

Looking at the bloody numbers on this telegram, it turns out that at this time the number of mercenaries killed in battle was as high as 10,000, and the wounded were countless. Yang Chendong’s face was terrifying in this brief moment. After a full six or seven breaths, he suddenly raised his head and said fiercely: “The Second Regiment of the Strengthened Cavalry left two battalions responsible for escorting the Madams back to Shicheng. The remaining battalion took the board Carriage and brought the Xiao Feng regiment. The long Cold Front regiment hurried to Sicheng with me.”

The battle lost 10,000 and the wounded were countless. This was the largest casualty of a mercenary since its establishment, and it was also considered It’s broken. But what is more terrifying is that the present city of Sicheng is already in danger. Once the city is in danger, I am afraid that such a long time will be wasted. This is definitely not what Yang Chendong wants to see.

The order was issued, and the Carriage was dismantled into pieces of wooden boards. Seated on it was a Cold Front soldier holding a Type 95. Fortunately, there is heavy snow on the road. With the help of its strength, it is easy to pull it up. At the moment, Xiao Feng’s Cold Front regiment had 1,300 people, plus one thousand people from a fortified battalion in Ma Xiongshan. A total of 2,300 people came quickly toward Sicheng.

In the beginning of the city at this time, Hu Mang expression is haggard and his face is very ugly.

He, who has been with Young Master for the longest time, has always wanted to prove himself with his strength, telling others that he did not rely on qualifications to become a master of a division. To say that this idea is good, but because he was too eager and anxious, seeing the change of ownership in the capital city, which was only 200 li away, he didn’t even wait for Yang Chendong to come and start using soldiers.

Or to say that he didn’t want to wait for the return of Sixth Young Master, he just wanted to fight a beautiful turnaround to prove himself. It’s just that I never thought that it would be a big defeat, 10,000 soldiers killed in battle, countless wounded, and now Sicheng is in danger of being besieged.

There has been news from the scouts in front that the Mongolian Army in Mobei has already approached the city, and it is less than 20 li away from the greenhouse plantation. The generals below are asking for instructions on how to proceed.

The greenhouse garden, although there are only two thousand acres of trifling land, it is really nothing, but it was planted by the Sixth Young Master, and the vegetables that appeared in it were once called War God by the Mongolian people as Möngke Tengri The messenger, there is already a sign, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

There is absolutely nothing to lose in a place like this. Otherwise, don’t wait for Sixth Young Master to scold him, Hu Mang will not be able to pass the test in his heart first. “Come on, transfer the six musket battalions of the independent division, and the others defend the city. Even if I die on the battlefield, you must not open the city gates and take a step out of Sicheng.”

Hu Mang made up his mind, and now that the bad situation appeared due to his unfavorable command, he now needs to stand up personally to solve the trouble. Although he doesn’t know if he can do it, at least he will use his best, even his life.

Yang Chendong is not there. The leader of the army in the city is Hu Mang. In this regard, even Yu Mian can’t mention on equal terms. He gave the order, and the officers below had no choice but to endure even if they had different opinions. There is strict discipline in the army. Once the top leader issues a military order, even if it is wrong, it must be implemented. Everything has to wait until the war is over and when a summary is made, everyone will have the freedom to express their opinions.

Leaving the Su He regiment commander to defend the city, he took Hu Mang with six battalions of Musketeers out of the city. When they came to the greenhouse, the enemy was already less than five miles away from him.

“Everyone finds a suitable array for themselves, as long as the enemy dares to come, they will all be beaten back.” Hu Mang pinched his waist, coldly facing the deputy commander Xin Honghai and the six battalion commanders. Shouted loudly.

Six battalions, with more than 2,000 fighters holding Type 81 Assault Rifle, deployed separately in battalions, forming a grand temporary battlefield. The straight-line distance of the battlefield reached the distance of several li.

The mercenaries set up a stern formation, and the enemy on the opposite side stopped in good time. They not at all immediately launched an attack, but set up camp, buried their pots and cooked food, and put out a picture It looks like neither fast nor slow.
