Chapter 762 Revenge
Liu's mother lay on a short mare, two very strong servants guarding her from left to right, leading thirty Tatar knights...
At this time, the newly reorganized 23rd Brigade of the Gansu Border Army was the newly reorganized 23rd Brigade of the Gansu Border Army. It was formerly a local garrison officer. In fact, it was still a little bit easier to remember, but this was easier to remember. For example, the First Regiment, the Second Battalion, etc. were catchy, but the military rank had not changed much, and it was still a small banner and a hundred households.
Liu's mother had already put her life aside and prayed piously for what she wanted to do this time. She turned around and looked back. Due to the limitations of the terrain, the Tartars followed her from afar like a long snake.
She told the Secretary that he would follow this very familiar path and would soon find the hidden cave on the mountain.
The Secretary of State believed this deeply. The Han people in the border areas have had the tradition of escaping on the mountains since ancient times. Every household would even hide their food on the mountain. After catching turtles in the jar, they immediately returned to the grassland from another road. Without knowing it, when the Ming army reacted, they could only be helpless against the boundless grassland.
Since the death of King Yan, the Han people no longer had the courage to leave the pass and fight, but Shangshu sighed deeply. How did the damn Han people invent such a terrible firearm? Relying on the strong fortress, there would be corpses all over the ground before they could attack, otherwise how could they reach the end of the road? In previous years, they could easily get food and various urgently needed supplies, and the Han border troops were defeated.
After a lot of hardships, the tribe withered talents could not copy it, let alone gunpowder and lead bullets. Shangshu sighed again.
Since the tenth year of Hongwu, the Mongolian army has suffered many losses and losses. Now the Mongolian civilization has regressed for hundreds of years, and even the technology of Huihui cannons that once dominated the world has been lost.
There was no trace of a person in the wild, even the birds and beasts escaped without a trace, and the woods seemed even more quiet. There was no wind. The leaves did not move, hanging there dejectedly, as if they were speculating on the fate of the invaders.
When Liu's mother guided a thousand Tartars through the mouth of the valley, her heart always had to be restless for a long time. It was not a hurry, no fear, no joy, nor sorrow. It was an indescribable strange smell. Tears flowed out from time to time. She rolled into the familiar mountains and hills, and her heart finally slowly became full.
The sky was extremely dark, and the Tatars searched and walked twenty miles away, and it was almost dusk.
There were hills on all sides, which seriously blocked their sight. There was obviously no road ahead, but when the woman turned a pass, she found that there was an empty field in front of her. Of course, there were hills blocking them at the end of her sight.
The Tatar General suddenly cursed: "Where is this?"
Shangshu was also surprised and suspicious. This road didn't seem to lead to the deep mountains? It was like leading to another village.
Just five miles away from Liujia Village, Liu's mother's heart hanging in the air was slowly put down. She thought that there would be no more trouble, right? She finally led them here.
At the same time, sadness surged into my heart, and the faces of the sons immediately appeared in my mind.
"Children! My children." Liu's mother looked silently at the front, "I hope your ghost will not disperse and help the official army to avenge you. Revenge! Mom is coming with you soon, waiting for me."
Tears flowed down one after another, and suddenly she saw Shangshu riding a horse and chasing him.
"It's just one hill to see the big tree in the giant stone." Liu's mother hurriedly touched her tears and said to Shangshu.
The Secretary of State asked, "Everyone in the village is hiding inside?"
"Yes. There are cultivated fields and houses there. I hid them in them for a year and a half in my early years. It was an open space in the valley." Liu's mother replied calmly.
At this moment, the scout in front shouted, "There is a house in front of you."
"Okay!" Shangshu was very energetic and immediately issued military orders. The Tatars were well-trained and caught up with them, then dispersed, and walked forward with a lineup surrounded by left and right.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need you here anymore. Please retreat to the rear army."
The Secretary of State pulled the horse back without saying a word. The two generals commanded two teams of 1,000 people, and the rear army stopped.
After turning over the last millet mouth, the house in front had some blurry outlines. The Tatars turned over and rushed in one by one, whistling in their mouths, waving their bows, arrows and swords.
After rushing over a mile, the two teams of thousands of people behind arrived almost, but it was strange that it was not a cave but a village.
"Not good!" The general immediately ordered to stop the attack, feeling that he had been hit by the enemy's trick!
The problem was that there was no sound around, and the Tatars were shocked.
A subordinate said, "Maybe the Han people are hiding behind the village, right? Why not rush to him for a while, as long as they can connect to each other, it doesn't matter, anyway, they have already rushed into the millet."
The general felt it made sense and ordered the thousand Guards to continue charging, and the rest remained in place.
When a thousand wild and fearless Tatars killed themselves in the village, they saw ruins everywhere and some houses were still emitting black smoke. They couldn't help but look at each other, "Isn't this Liujiazhuang I've been to?"
"Liujiazhuang! Isn't this Jushiya?"
"ghost!"
Suddenly everyone started to sensation together, and it was dark. The general who received the news was shocked and scolded: "Oh no, I'm fooled. That ghost old lady has no good intentions. This is obviously Liujiazhuang, but she dares to say something about Jushiya."
Just as he was about to order a retreat, he heard the howling sounds from afar and approached, and the general said in a daze: "What's wrong?"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shells were like comets dragging the halo tail, whistling from the sky, and the muzzles spewed out angry sparks and poured down from the hills on both sides.
A crazy night passed, and Shangshu was so angry that he trembled all over. Until the afternoon of the next day, less than 500 subordinates who fled back one after another, and more than 3,000 were buried in such a confusion.
His beard was almost upturned to the sky, so he ordered someone to throw Liu's mother in front of him, raise his whip and whip around, completely losing his mind.
After most of the clan members died, his Shangshu would naturally end up in the end, and when he returned, the whole family would become slaves.
The whip was whipped at Liu's body without any brains. Liu's mother seemed to not feel any pain, with a smile on her face.
"I'm your ancestor! What's going on?" The Han people's national curse has also become the catchphrase of the Mongolians.
"I'm my mother, come with cold water." Shangshu roared.
The cold water poured on her body, and her mother Liu trembled all over. A stream of air conditioning penetrated into her mind. She suddenly woke up a little. There were countless golden snakes flashing in front of her eyes, and her ears were like thunder and earthquakes.
"Do you say it or not? How did you contact the government army? How many people did the government army come?" The desperate Shangshu had a premonition that he could not go back. The problem was that even if he died in the battlefield, his family would not be able to change his fate as a slave. There were too many nobles eyeing him. Moreover, there were several families with feuds.
Mother Liu opened her blood-red eyes in a slit, squinted her eyes without saying a word, and her perception gradually recovered.
She wanted to use the last trace of strength to roll over, open her mouth and bit her enemy a few times. However, her body was so painful that she couldn't even move, so she could only curse hoarsely: "You robbers who eat people and don't spit bones, I want to kill you all one by one, and I want to bite off the meat of you dogs and Tartars. Didn't my sons be killed by you? Didn't you kill the young and old in Liujia Village? Didn't you burn the house?
You will kill people once and then, and set fire in one place. Why do you come to kill people and set fire? I wish you could peel your skin alive! You wait, I, the Han people, will never let you go, the official army will kill you all the dogs and robbers."
Liu's mother rolled over desperately, trying to hug a Tartar and bit him a few times. Shangshu suddenly exclaimed: "I'll kill you."
He pulled out the scimitar and stabbed it hard. All the perceptions in his mother Liu disappeared in an instant. Until she died, she smiled with a successful revenge.
"grown ups!"
The panicked Tartar soldiers ran over with a look of horror. "Oh no, the army of the national army met the Ming army and killed 20,000 people in battle. They have withdrawn from the entrance of the Great Wall, and we have no way out."
"I'm the eighteen generations of your ancestors." Shangshu of the Tartar cursed at the corpse wildly, looking desperate.
The Ming army headquarters three hundred miles away, Zhang Fu was still unable to adapt to the frown. Even if the commander in charge did not have to go to the front line in person, he would not need to hide in the safest place, right?
The surroundings were not the generals and personal soldiers at all levels who were waiting to obey orders, but hundreds of military staff members were busy and busy, marking the messages they had just received one by one on the huge military map.
This time, he followed his brother-in-law's advice and adopted the strategy of leading snakes into the cave, leading the Tatars to the hinterland of the Great Wall and encircled them. Unexpectedly, he underestimated the Mongols' marching speed and elusive raid methods.
Next, even though the contact information was improved in a targeted manner and various plans were formulated in advance, hundreds of thousands of officials still could not do it, and many mistakes were made.
"It's not his fault that he insists that the generals must receive education and training. As expected, the so-called military literacy is very important."
Zhang Fu, who is experienced, understands Xu Hao more and more. As the world becomes more and more stable, the older generation who has been fighting for life without a master's own skills is gone. Growing up in peacetime, young people with wealthy families are inferior to those of the other generation. They can at least be systematically trained when sent to the military academy, so they have to pay a heavy price to train properly on the battlefield.
This is just like reading and literacy. If you don’t study, you won’t understand the truth. A qualified general doesn’t just read a few military books and learn some experience in marching and fighting from his father.
Of course, military academy cannot solve all problems and has various disadvantages, but that is a good way. Zhang Fu believes that the competition for martial arts is much better. Judging from the experience over the years, the better the quality of middle and lower-level officers, the stronger the combat power of the soldiers.
A staff officer strode over and said, "Report to the Grand Marshal, the 50,000 elite troops of the Old General Song have captured 100,000 Tatars, weak women and children. What should I do if I ask for my order?"
Zhang Fu said softly: "I have no food to support them. The Governor's Office has issued an order to destroy Hu and let them disappear on the grassland. For the sake of the dead people, blood debts will be paid for!"
"Yes!" The young staff officer was obviously excited, saluted solemnly, turned around and left with high morale.
