Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight of the temptation of the musket
In a raid battle with the Third Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army ten days ago, there were 10,000 cavalrymen in the Yellow Flag. Although more than 1,000 cavalry were lost, and hundreds of large carts were not destroyed... However, the Tartar General did not show any dissatisfaction on the face of this.
Because, in this raid battle, the Tartars' harvest and results were also very great and beyond imagination.
During the battle, although most of the large carts abandoned by the Tiger and Leopard Army were directly burned by the Tartars with fire, a small number of large carts were still seized by the Tartars.
More importantly, because the Tiger and Leopard Army focused on the grain trucks, among the dozen large trucks seized by the Tartars, there were eight large trucks loaded with fixed-load lead bullets ready to be transported to the front line.
In addition, the more than a thousand tunnel muskets seized by the Tartars from the battlefield, as long as the Tartars' chief general was willing, he could form a musket team with the strongest combat effectiveness at any time except the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Facing a hundred and fifty steps away, the fired muskets could be easily penetrated by iron armor. The generals of the Yellow Flag, like hungry wolves smelling blood, directly stared at the tone with their fiery eyes, hoping to get a piece of the pie, form a musket team, and increase the military strength of their tribe.
The Tartar general was definitely not a fool if he could be selected by Huang Taiji as the commander of the 10,000 cavalry in the Yellow Flag. He was not only a fool, but also a very smart, visionary and scheming person.
When everyone's passionate expressions came into view, the general subconsciously thought of a way to make these generals truly obey their military orders, no longer be rebellious, preserve their strength in front of them, and violate Yin Fenglan.
After taking a deep breath, the main general quickly returned to his serious expression and spoke directly: "My generals, I believe everyone has seen the power of fire-firing muskets. I can say with certainty that in front of such muskets, the bows and arrows in our hands will completely lose their effect."
"If I could have a firearm unit equipped with this kind of musket, then this firearm unit will definitely be invincible when it comes to the battlefield. Even when facing the Tiger and Leopard Army with strong combat power, it will no longer be the same as before, and can only be passively beaten..."
"So, these muskets play a very important role in our Later Jin Kingdom."
"I know that everyone wants the warriors under their command to equip this kind of musket and form a firearm unit with strong combat power. However, what I will say is that compared with us, Dahan needs these muskets more. Therefore, I will decide to give all the muskets and ammunition we seized to Dahan..."
Although the generals were very dissatisfied with the decision of the chief general, none of them showed it. Because Huang Taiji was not only the Khan of the Later Jin Kingdom, but also the leader of the Yellow Banner Banner.
As the banner owner, even if they are killed, there is no need for any reason, let alone some muskets.
However, no matter what, these muskets were seized by them. They had no benefit at all. They just sent them out for nothing. The generals were still filled with frustration and dissatisfaction.
Although this dissatisfaction is not dared to vent Huang Taiji, there is still no problem in venting it to the main general in front of him. Therefore, the main general's decision has just been announced, and several pairs of glaring eyes gathered on the main general as if they had been discussed.
At this moment, even though the Lord was still their nominal commander, he still felt a chilling feeling under these angry and cold eyes.
In this case, if you don’t give them an explanation immediately, these rude generals can directly drive themselves out of the military camp.
Thinking of this, the main general who was staring at the same time quickly explained: "I know that the generals are very dissatisfied with this decision. However, I also believe that the generals know that the generals have the best decision. Even if I distribute these muskets to everyone, it won't take long, the Khan will take these muskets away from the generals..."
When the anger on everyone's face finally showed a trace of dissipation, the general's words suddenly turned and continued.
"Of course, as the temporary commander of the generals, I will not let everyone lose so many warriors in this raid battle but gain nothing. Therefore, I will give you a promise here. In the next battle, the muskets seized by the generals on the battlefield will be decided without authorization and will give them all to everyone. And I also ask the Khan not to take them back and let them form their own musket team..."
Under the temptation of the huge bait of musket, several generals, as if they had chicken blood, promised the main general that they would obey commands in the next battle, seize more muskets and divide more muskets.
One day later, while all the Tartars were waiting with expectations on their faces, a message that excited them all finally reached their ears.
A Tiger and Leopard Army transport team with a scale of 300 large vehicles set off from Liaodong two days ago and entered the Later Jin Dynasty. At the latest one day, you can enter their activity area.
"How many people are there in this transport team? Are there cavalry?"
As soon as the scout captain finished his report, several generals who could not wait asked anxiously with their faces on their faces.
The first time I faced the scout captain questioned by so many generals, I did not dare to be negligent. I quickly replied: "Report to all generals, the Tiger and Leopard Army that escorted these large trucks of goods, had at least 6,000 people, and was equipped with a lot of artillery, and no cavalry was found..."
At this time, the chief general of the Tartar spoke. He asked to the scout captain with a serious look on his face: "Architecture, what kind of artillery is it? Are there many? "
The captain of the service quickly shook his head and denied it: "Report to the general that the slaves did not find heavy artillery, and the number of artillery was not large, with less than thirty pants, all of which were carried by war horses..."
"In addition, the slaves also discovered a situation. During this transportation, the Tiger and Leopard Army divided the convoy into two parts. One hundred large trucks of goods were all loaded with food and were escorted by the 4,000 Tiger and Leopard Army. As for the remaining two hundred generals, because they were covered with things, the slave did not see clearly what was loaded. However, the two hundred large trucks were less than two thousand Tiger and Leopard Army escorted. The slave guessed that the two hundred large trucks had something to hit. It must not be very important. Otherwise, the Tiger and Leopard Army would not only send such a little force."
As soon as the scout finished speaking, a Tartar general, as if he had won a grand prize, shouted with excitement: "The things installed on these big cars are indeed not important. However, this is only for the Tiger and Leopard Army. For our Later Jin Dynasty, the things installed on these two hundred big cars are very important."
After saying that, he directly analyzed to the main general: "General, according to the news sent to us by the Khan, the main force of the Tiger and Leopard Army is in short supply. If they cannot receive food supplements, they will lose food. In this case, the Tiger and Leopard Army can only concentrate their limited troops on large trucks that transport food as much as possible to protect the food. As for weapons, ammunition and other supplies, the Tiger and Leopard Army can only use a small number of troops to escort it. Just like the last raid, at a critical moment, the Tiger and Leopard Army will even give up other large trucks of supplies and concentrate all their forces to protect the food they transport..."
As soon as the general of the Tartars finished speaking, another Tartars spoke in agreement: "General, I can be sure that these two hundred trucks must be filled with the muskets and ammunition we want. If we can seize these big trucks, we may be able to seize muskets and ammunition equipped with thousands of musketeers..."
"Yes, general, no matter what, we cannot be the opportunity given to us by the gods..." Another Tartar general shouted with a passionate face.
Although the Tartar General knew that the strong fighting spirit that everyone showed was not to complete the task assigned to everyone by Huang Taiji. However, the Tartar General's face still showed a very satisfied smile.
Because, no matter what everyone's purpose is, the first thing to do is to eliminate the Tiger and Leopard Army serving as the escort.
Therefore, the lord of the Tartars did not hesitate and directly responded to everyone's eyes and ordered.
"I decided to draw out three thousand soldiers and 500 men as a team to attack the convoys that transported food to the Tiger and Leopard Army from different directions. I did not require the elimination of the 4,000 Tiger and Leopard Army guarding the grain truck. However, it is necessary to ensure that these 4,000 Tiger and Leopard Army have no time to take care of other large supplies. Of course, during the attack, one grain truck can be destroyed by rockets."
"The other soldiers, 500 people, were in a team, transporting two hundred large chariots of ammunition and supplies to the Tiger and Leopard Army. However, everyone must remember that for these two hundred large chariots, our goal is not to destroy, but to seize..."
In the middle of the majestic convoy, Qin Yong, the commander of the Third Division, was riding on a war horse, holding a monocular lens, searching for something with a serious look on his face.
After this movement lasted for a cup of tea, Qin Yong put down his monocular lens, and then said to himself in a low tone: "These Tartars can really hold on. We have been in the Later Jin Dynasty for two days, but we have not found their traces yet."
Although the deputy commander, who was walking beside him and also riding on the war horse, had no expression on his face. However, as soon as Qin Yong finished his words, he replied anxiously: "Teacher, do you think the Tartars have discovered that this is a conspiracy against them, otherwise why did they not take action yet?"
"It shouldn't be..." Qin Yong, who was full of trust in himself and the Grand Marshal Wei Zheng, denied without thinking.
"Even if the Tartars discovered something, there would be no movement at all... You didn't realize that it was too quiet around us, so quiet that it was a bit scary..."
"Many times, this abnormal silence means the beginning of a big battle... I don't believe that the Tartars can endure it all the time."
After saying that, Qin Yong suddenly heard something and asked subconsciously: "By the way, Deputy Commander, are we ready for the gifts we prepared for the Tartars... Don't let the Tartars appear, what problems will happen?"
