Chapter 75 Announcement
On October 11th in the [-]th year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, at Shenshi, the sky was dim, and the sun was hanging obliquely on the western horizon.

Zhang Cheng immediately stood beside Zhang Yan, and replied confidently: "It shouldn't be any different. Judging by the armor and posture, it must be that Jia Lazhangjing. You will know if it is true after you ask."

Zhang Yance was on the horse, looking around, he saw the autumn wind was bleak, the wilderness north of the official road was full of smoke and dust, and people and horses were intertwined. The knights under Zhang Cheng's command were like chasing rabbits, chasing the Qing troops who were fleeing on foot.

After a long time, he said to Zhang Cheng: "The Tartars have only one head. As long as our Ming soldiers are determined to fight and move forward bravely, the Tartars have nothing to fear. If the strength is equal, we can actually fight."

Zhang Cheng rode his horse beside him, and said: "Soldiers are not afraid of death before they can fight, but the premise is that the soldiers must be fed and clothed, and that they have nothing to worry about at home, so that they will use their lives before the battle and fight against the enemy bravely."

Zhang Yan took Zhang Cheng's words for granted, so he sat on the horse and looked to the north of the official road, looking thoughtful.

After a while, Zhang Yan said: "If you really captured the Tartar Jialazhangjing, it would be a great achievement, even more important than what you captured in Mafang last time."

Immediately Zhang Yan called several of his own soldiers and ordered: "Command all the officers and men to catch as many alive as possible."

He then ordered Zhang Cheng: "You stay and clean up the battlefield."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhang Cheng to answer, he raised his whip and rode his horse away. Several personal soldiers followed behind him, and they rode their horses and walked away.

…………

At the end of the Shen Dynasty, in an abandoned fort in the south of Beijing, there was a relatively intact house, which was quite spacious, and it was located in the middle of the abandoned fort, slightly northerly. The main street was at the entrance, and it was very convenient to enter and exit.

As soon as Zhang Yan entered the abandoned fort, he immediately took a look at this house, which was used as his own camp for the Chinese army.

The Chinese military tent is set up in the main room of this house, it is very spacious and bright, there are a few windows that are missing, but they have been repaired properly.

Zhang Yan sat on the top of the military tent behind the first case, Lin Zhiyi, the pro-military chief, stood behind him, Zhang Cheng and Liang Song sat on the left and right, and the other chiefs stood behind him.

Zhang Cheng is reporting to General Zhang Yan the victory of the fierce battle between the stone bridge and the cavalry: "Sir General, the Tartar Jia Lazhangjing Harba led more than [-] slaves, and first wanted to intercept and kill me and go out on patrol. Riding, and then trying to attack the important place of our stone bridge, the soldiers of the right-wing battalion of our town marked their lives in front of the battle, fought bravely against the slaves, after fierce fighting, defeated the slaves and bandits, chased the enemy for more than [-] miles, strengthened our army's prestige, and promoted our country's prestige .

In this campaign, our town marked the right-wing battalion to behead 370 and seven heads of slave thieves;
The slave thief Jia Lazhangjing Harba was captured alive, and the other slave thief was divided into two Shiku, two strong slaves, and fifty armored soldiers;
The Tartars seized a large flag and a pair of armors, and they were given five flags and five pairs of armors in Pashiku.

In addition, 320 war horses, 230 nine mules and more than 120 wounded and dead horses were seized. "

Jialazhangjing Harba of the Qing army is also a well-known figure in history.

He is a native of Zhengbai Banner in Manchuria. His ancestors lived in the Yaer Lake area in Liaodong for generations.

According to historical records, Halba went to Jiangxi and other places in the third year of Shunzhi. Because of his bravery in battle, he was given the title of Batulu and a world position. When he later attacked Zheng Chenggong, he died in front of the army and was awarded the title of first-class captain of light vehicles Jianyun. Cavalier, his younger brother Mandu took over the post, and Mandu then conquered Zhoushan and was granted the title of third-class baron.

I never thought that because of Zhang Cheng's arrival, his life course would be changed in the dark, and he was killed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty in advance, and those who should have died under his butcher's knife were spared. It is a great fortune!

Zhang Cheng paused, looked up at his uncle and general Zhang Yan, who was the first in line, and then continued: "For this campaign, I will mark the headquarters of the cavalry of the Right Wing Battalion. A member of the Pashiku was allocated, and then the slaves were attacked on the stone bridge, and the Tartar captive Jia Lazhangjing Harba was captured. Seven soldiers were killed in the battle, 16 soldiers were wounded, and 36 horses were injured."

When he said this, he paused again, and turned his eyes to Liang Song, the infantry commander who was sitting opposite him. Stopped the enemy at the stone bridge, captured the Tartars alive and divided them into a member of Pashiku, and then intercepted the Tartars on the east bank of the Liangshui River, in total, 19 soldiers were killed and 130 soldiers were wounded.

When Zhang Cheng said this, he stopped and licked his lips before continuing: "In this battle, our Zhenbiao Right Wing Battalion fought against an armored soldier from the Tartars, and won a complete victory. Although nearly a hundred slaves took advantage Luan snatched horses and escaped, our troops still gained a lot, and our troops suffered very little battle damage. A total of 26 sergeants were killed in battle, and the remaining 170 wounded were all slightly injured, most of them were injured by light arrows thrown by slave thieves. It’s a big problem, you can fight again after resting for a while.”

Seeing that Zhang Cheng had finished reporting today's battle against the Tartars at Shiqiao, Zhang Yan raised his eyes and glanced at the people in the army tent. After a while, he said, "Today, it all depends on the command of the generals. My right-wing battalion The victory over the Tartars was very rich, and after verification by Yang Junmen and Duchen Lu, I will definitely report the victory to the emperor and reward the generals for their achievements."

Zhang Cheng and other generals in the tent clasped their fists together and shouted: "It's all thanks to the general's blessing."

Zhang Yan waved his hand, and then said in a deep voice, "Zhiyi, you go to the camp of Yang Junmen to report the good news."

Waiting for Lin Zhiyi to accept the order with clasped fists, he took the victory report and strode out of the military tent.

Zhang Yancai said again: "The two generals Zhang Cheng and Liang Song will stay here, and the rest of the generals will go back to the camp and wait for orders."

According to the order, the commanders of the sentries saluted one after another, then withdrew from the tents and went back to the camp. Each of them had a look of excitement on their faces. Today, they defeated the Tartars and gained a lot. After meritorious deeds, everyone will be rewarded. Although there were some casualties in the rewards, compared with the gains, they are very gratifying, not to mention that most of them were minor injuries caused by stray arrows.

After all the sentries withdrew, Liang Song said to Zhang Cheng with a smile: "Brother Cheng, you have made great achievements in Mafang before, and you will capture Lazhangjing again today. My brother congratulates Brother Cheng in advance."

Zhang Cheng also smiled and said to him: "Tiger, today your subordinate Shiqiao had a great time fighting and gained a lot. If you fight with him a few more times, and your uncle will be promoted to the commander-in-chief of any town, you, Tiger, will at least be a guerrilla."

Although Zhang Cheng said so, his heart was dark, and a feeling of grief and indignation surged into his heart instantly.

He couldn't help looking up at Zhang Yan, although he was a cheap uncle picked up for nothing, but he was really kind to him, his love was beyond words, he defended himself everywhere, and his expectations were ardent.

What's more respectable is that Zhang Yan was indeed one of the few generals who were not afraid of death in the late Ming Dynasty. He was the only one who never retreated in the battle of Julu. In the end, he followed the governor Lu Xiangsheng and died in Julu. .

Zhang Cheng thought to himself, in this life, if there is any glimmer of hope for the Julu, he will definitely keep his uncle and Duchen Lu safe and sound!
