Aru Timur endured his anger and fear, and finally forced a smile and chose to have a drink with Yang Feng.
What else?
He is a surrender.
Besides, he also knew that he was in the wrong. He just wanted to show off in front of the King of Liao. After all, he was also an important minister of the Yuan Dynasty in the past. Although he had to surrender, it was impossible to be very respectful. He just wanted to show his ability in front of these Han people.
The bravery of carrying the nation.
Then he didn't expect to bump into someone braver than him.
Be willing to admit defeat!
As for the reason why he suddenly came in the snow and wind, it was very simple...
"Winter Attack?"
Yang Feng said unexpectedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's latest imperial edict has arrived in Peiping.
By this time, Zhu Di had already returned to Peiping, and the content of the imperial edict was very simple. In the twelfth lunar month, troops were sent directly to the black pine forest to deal with Xiyang Ha first.
"Your Majesty wants to come here by surprise. Otherwise, once Xiyang Ha escapes into the mountains and forests, it will be almost impossible for our army to find him. He also knows that we will not send troops in this cold winter. There is ice and snow over there. It can be said that there are no birds and animals. This season also
We have nowhere to go, so we can only hide in the black pine forest to warm ourselves by the fire and eat our reserves. We can make a surprise attack this season and annihilate them all in one fell swoop. If we don’t deal with him, we will not be able to get through the road to Nurgan City. After we deal with him
Only then can we build a ship and sail down the river to Nurgan City."
Guo Ying said.
"Where is the Black Pine Forest?"
Yang Feng said.
"Black pine forest..."
Guo Ying was about to say it when he stopped her.
"According to modern research, it is roughly in Bayan County, Harbin. Your normal march route should be to Kaiyuan, and then to Jilin, which should be called Jilin at this time. In the modern Fengman area there is the Jilin Shipyard of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu II
In the spring of the 18th year of the Zhou Dynasty, Song Sheng built ships from there and raided the black pine forest.
Although Xiyang Ha's tribe was defeated, Xiyang Ha himself had already escaped in advance with his main force.
As for entering this season, it’s up to you.”
Sister Liu's voice sounded.
"Bring me the map!"
Yang Feng shouted.
Guo Ying quickly asked someone to take the map.
"process."
He said immediately.
"The middle road is Nenjiang, which you called Naowenjiang at that time."
"Nao Wenjiang."
Yang Feng said.
Guo Ying quickly marked Nao Wenjiang for him.
"When we march towards the mouth of Linghe River, we will call Hulawen to attack Lukou."
"No, why did they go to the Nenjiang River when building ships in Jilin? Shouldn't they be in the Songhua River?"
"The Jilin Navy of the Ming Army had fought on the Songhua River and the Nen River before. However, it was frozen on the Nen River in winter. After thawing, it naturally moved forward. Moreover, the Ming Army did not move from south to north, but from west to east. The Hulan River was still
There is one road, and there is also a commander of the Thirty Thousand Guards in Yilan."
…
In it, Sister Liu said that Guo Ying was looking for their map, and Yang Feng was looking for the corresponding route on his own satellite map. Soon, this joint command that spanned six hundred years completed the task of searching for the route that originally took place two years later in history.
Copy the route of the battle. As for what Yang Feng said, everyone could only ignore it with shock and fear. Anyway, he himself did not avoid anything, so there was no need to worry about it. The emperor must have known this.
Can't understand?
Then there is no need to understand it.
"Zhou Xing, why don't Song Sheng pursue us?"
Guo Ying said.
"Spring has just begun, and there is only partial thaw, but it is still frozen to the north. Xiyang Ha's troops are accustomed to using sledges. They fled north along the Songhua River on sledges and hid in the mountains and forests farther north. The Ming army could not continue to pursue them."
Sister Liu said.
"Is Xiyangha difficult to fight?"
Yang Feng suddenly asked.
"Ambassador, there is no difficult enemy in front of the Ming Dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty has swept away the remaining Yuan Dynasties. Except for the one defeat to Wang Baobao that year, we have never lost a battle since then. Xiyang Ha also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but later he defected.
, the total number of our troops is only a few thousand, but there are a few tribes nearby, but they are both at the head and the two ends. If the soldiers of tomorrow pass by, this generation has no choice but to submit. The difficult thing is to pass, after all, it is almost impossible to see the north.
In addition to rivers, lakes and swamps, there are deep mountains and old forests. Therefore, we can only rely on waterways, but waterways are tortuous. Even from Jilin to the black pine forest, the waterway may be two thousand miles."
Guo Ying said.
"So why go to all the trouble? Just kill a few thousand elite cavalry in a straight line.
Go north from Jilin along the Kacha River, cross the Lalin River and continue north. I will lead the way. We will go straight into the black pine forest. It is just a job for thousands of cavalry, there is no need to make it so troublesome."
Yang Feng said.
"Uh, this..."
"What about this and that, what are you afraid of when I'm here?
Your emperor just asked me to be your guide."
"Okay, I'll report it to King Yan first. No matter what, it's up to him to decide. Where is King Yan now?"
"According to schedule, we have passed Shanhaiguan."
Aru Timur said quickly.
He was completely confused at this time. He looked at these guys as if they were monsters. After all, the thing on Yang Feng's wrist could talk, which was terrifying. Moreover, this thing actually knew so much, which was even more terrifying. It seemed like this was
An omniscient monster, these Han people can actually conquer ghosts and gods, no wonder they are invincible. Originally, he was still a little angry and could not calm down, but now he is completely frightened.
"Your Majesty, please send an urgent message to King Yan. Please come as soon as possible. Your Majesty has gathered two thousand elites and prepared everything needed. As soon as King Yan arrives, he will immediately join forces and go to Liaoyang. This battle is your first battle. Can you scare him?
Liaodong, it depends on this battle, Ambassador Yang, my duty is not this, I need to stay here, the king will entrust Ambassador Yang."
Guo Ying cupped her hands to Yang Feng and said.
"OK!"
Yang Feng said cheerfully.
Five days later.
Three thousand cavalry led by Zhu Di arrived.
These three thousand are truly elite, and they all follow him to attack the grassland.
As for those flange machines, just as Yang Feng suggested to Zhang Fu, the small ones have been installed on the back of the camel, and the large ones are still behind for now. After all, they will not need the large ones in a short time.
.
"Let the camels lie down and connect them end to end!"
Yang Feng said.
Zhang Fu quickly gave orders to the soldiers.
And Zhu Di, Zhu Zhi, Guo Ying, Xie Gui, Zhang Yu, Aru Timur, these generals were all watching there. Five thousand cavalry were arrayed around them. All the cavalry were equipped with spears, bows and arrows, and short weapons that they were accustomed to.
Weapons, and they were all armor. It was just winter, so the armor was lined with fur, and they all wore fur robes. Even their faces were wrapped in fur, and they were all smeared with antifreeze grease. They had rich experience in fighting in cold areas.
In fact, the Ming army often deliberately chose the time when winter and spring were connected to attack.
the reason is simple.
Herdsmen gather relatively in winter.
After all, there is snow everywhere, except for a few wintering places, and there is no way to drive cattle and sheep around like in summer and autumn.
In this way, as long as you know these wintering places, you can directly raid them.
However, some people cannot bear the severe cold when they march into winter, but it actually disperses in spring. It is the most perfect time period in March and April when the freeze has already thawed but the grass has just sprouted. The Battle of Yuerhai and the Battle of Jinshan are both.
Attack in March.
But this time it’s the twelfth lunar month.
The camels, connected end to end, immediately formed a camel wall in the wilderness behind the snow.
This thing is taller than a horse. Even if it lies down, it is enough to form an obvious obstacle. Coupled with the wooden frame on its back and the small furlong machine that rotates the gun mount, it is basically a simple city wall. The soldiers then lifted it off the camel's back.
ammunition box, and at the same time blocked the camel's ears and blocked its outward eyes. Then they pressed the rear of the Franchise down, took out the filled cartridges and quickly put them into the rear bomb bay, and then the gunner held the tail
The handle, began to aim at the sheep in front as the target, and completed the launch as quickly as possible.
This small flange machine has very little recoil and is inherently leaky.
On the back of a camel, it is just a push and a sudden shake. The camel's ears are blocked and the sound is quiet, and the outward eyes cannot be seen, so it only barks a few times without being affected at all.
The gunner pressed down the breech of the gun as quickly as possible.
The loader loads as quickly as possible.
Twenty seconds later, the second round of shells was fired.
Then press the breech of the gun again, complete the loading again, and fire again...
Ten cartridges per gun.
In just over a minute, four rounds of shooting were completed.
"This thing is indeed sharp. In a hasty encounter on the grassland, even if the enemy's cavalry comes and goes like the wind, they will eventually be defeated by our rapid-fire cannons."
Zhu Di looked with satisfaction at the flock of sheep that were set on fire by dozens of Franchise machines.
The poor sheep were littered with corpses.
"This is not enough. When your Ministry of Industry builds matchlocks, you can train a real firearms battalion, or it can be called a divine machine battalion. Thousands of soldiers each have a matchlock, and they fire in turn starting from a hundred steps. The infantry will no longer be afraid.
cavalry."
Yang Feng said.
Of course, this requires discipline.
The Ming army of this era happened to be the most disciplined army.
As for what tactics to give them...
The Spanish phalanx is actually enough to sweep the world.
"Even if the Ministry of Industry really builds it, it will have to be guarded by all the guards first. Xiao Wang doesn't know when it will be his turn."
Zhu Di said with a smile.
"Perhaps Your Majesty can apply to His Majesty for me to teach craftsmen how to make things here?"
Yang Feng said.
"This is not necessary."
Zhu Di said.
Then it has nothing to do with Yang Feng.
By this time, all ten cartridges of those Franchise machines had been filled.
There was no second round.
This is just a demonstration, and in actual small-scale encounters, ten preloaded cartridges are enough. Large-scale battles are another matter. If it were a large-scale battle, it would be impossible to use such a small Franchise machine.
The infantry's big French machine is really used in the war.
"Ambassador Yang, in fact, this thing is not difficult to break. Let the soldiers wear heavy armor and push the shield cart, which is enough to block the shotguns you mentioned. As long as the shield cart can be pushed to the front, the rest depends on the bravery of the soldiers.
Although rapid-fire cannons are fast, they are still far inferior to bows and arrows."
Zhang Fu said.
He is very prescient.
"But does Ming Dynasty have such enemies now?"
Yang Feng said.
"That's true."
Zhang Fu said.
Ming Dynasty indeed has no such enemies!
Even the Ming army without the use of Franchise machines was already invincible.
