my days with tyrants

Chapter 238 Following in the footsteps of ancestors

Le Shi Yanran...

Of course, this place should bring them to feel the glory of their ancestors.

Even Yang Feng encouraged Zhu Di to move forward, a large part of the purpose was to take them to experience the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties along the way.

Feel it one by one.

Going forward from here, there are a lot of names in the history books along the way, let them go to the field to see, and let them know what kind of brilliance the ancestors created.So soon, including Zhou Xing and others, all the main generals of the Ming army were called over, and then they looked at the engravings on the rock wall with years of wind erosion, and their faces were full of shock.

"More than 1000 years ago.

This is the place where our ancestors defeated the enemy more than 1000 years ago, and they carved their victories on the rocks. After that, only the army of the Tang Dynasty ever came here, but that was also more than 1000 years ago.After experiencing the humiliation of the Song Dynasty and the fall of Hu Yuan, the Han army finally set foot on this land again, restraining Shi Yanran and sealing wolves as Xu.

As for the place where the wolf was sealed off to live in Xu, it was on the north side of the Tula River.

Langjuxu Mountain is in the northeast of our battlefield.

We've actually passed it.

But beyond that there are countless places our ancestors have been.

The vast sea is dry and frozen.

This is Han Hai.

The Hanhai Dudufu in the Tang Dynasty is the grassland to the west from here.

The bright moon rises from the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of ​​clouds.

After passing Jinshan, you can see the bright moon rising from Tianshan.

The sea waves of Xibing Tiaozhi.

That is even farther away. It is estimated that we will have to go thousands of miles to get to the seaside. This time I will definitely not be able to take you there, and even the place does not belong to Hu Yuan at present. "

Yang Feng said.

"In this way, I will die without any regrets!"

Zhou Xing looked at the words in front of him that had been eroded by wind for thousands of years with emotion.

"Then we have to engrave it too!"

Tan Yuan said.

"Yes, we have to engrave it too, let's engrave one next to it!"

Sun Ke also came to the spirit.

This proposal was immediately unanimously supported.

but……

"Who will write?"

Zhang Fu said quietly.

"Uh?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Indeed, who will write?

This was written by Ban Gu. As far as they are concerned, they can only be considered literate at most, and it is difficult to write an article. How can it be possible to write an article of this level?Moreover, there were no full-time literati in their army to follow them. Although there were actually a few literati who specialized in writing official documents, they were sent back by Zhu Di in Hara and Lin.

One has already died of exhaustion on the road, and it is estimated that all of them will die of exhaustion going forward.

Anyway, going forward, there is no problem of reporting to the court...

It is really thousands of miles away from the capital, and even in a sense, it can be regarded as going deep into an impenetrable area. There is no logistics, no reinforcements, and even unable to contact the rear in time. What is the meaning of such a situation.

Besides, even if they really report something to the court, it will take a few months before they arrive in the capital, so there is no need to let them follow.

Everyone looked at Yang Feng.

"Don't look at me, I don't have this ability. Even if I write one for you, it might lower its image if I really engrave it. What's more, we don't have craftsmen who specialize in carving. Let alone craftsmen, just look at this word. Who can write this level of calligraphy? Why don't we write any articles, just engrave a few kneeling villains, and engrave the names of us people later, as if we are here to worship our ancestors."

Yang Feng said.

Everyone nodded.

Indeed, not to mention people who write articles of this level, there is no one who can write characters of this level of calligraphy!
Not to mention having to carve.

"But engraving a villain is more troublesome, right?"

Zhang Fu said.

"It's easy to engrave a villain!"

Yang Feng said.

Then he climbed up to the shelf that had just been built. On the left side of the Yanran Mountain Inscription, this was also a relatively smooth rock wall, but it formed a corner with the Yanran Mountain Inscription.He took out his bayonet and began to paint on it. After painting, he found an armor-piercing awl and tapped it deeper. Zhang Fu followed and climbed onto the shelf, looking at his so-called villain with a ruined appearance.

"Is this also called a person?"

He said.

"It's fine if you have that meaning, the important thing is the attitude."

Yang Feng said.

Well, he carved a kneeling stickman.

Soon he finished engraving, and then engraved his identity later, of course it was his real identity.

Now that he has carved like this, there is no need for Zhang Fu to be entangled. He also imitated his stick figure and started to carve his own stick figure, and then the other generals followed suit. Found it on the left.Anyway, it is near the Yanran mountain inscription, but avoid the plane of the rock wall where it is located, and then each carve out their own kneeling stick figures and engrave their official titles and names.Although Zhu Di was a little speechless, this was really the only way to go at this time. After all, he had to chase after him quickly. He found a hammer and chisel himself, chose a satisfactory position, and began to chisel his own stick figure.

Accompanied by clanging chiseling, soon one by one the kneeling stick figures were completed around the Yanran mountain inscription. Because everyone's level is limited, it looks like graffiti of primitive people.

As for their official titles, it will take longer.

But it won't take long.

In this way, a group of generals completed their worship of their ancestors under the watch of those soldiers.

"Perhaps among our ancestors, someone really followed here to kill the enemy!"

Zhou Xing said.

"That's true!"

Yang Feng deeply agrees.

Then he looked at the soldiers.

"Brothers, this is the place where our ancestors killed the enemy more than 1000 years ago. They engraved their meritorious articles here. They were able to fight here and defeat the enemy more than 1000 years ago. Why can't we? It is the place where our ancestors killed the enemy. Do you know Xue Rengui in the Tang Dynasty? Xue Rengui settled the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows, and the enemy Tie Le he put down was nomadic at the foot of the Jinshan Mountain we are going to. Do you know that Su Dingfang defeated the Western Turks? His battlefield Even further west.

Our ancestors could do it, why can't we?
Go straight to the Tianshan Mountains and wipe out the remnants! "

Ambassador Yang shouted.

"Go straight to the Tianshan Mountains and wipe out the remnants!"

……

Then the excited roar echoed at the foot of Yanran Mountain.

The morale of the Ming army recovered instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di ordered all the armies to assemble, and all came to feel the glory of their ancestors.

More than 2 Ming troops quickly completed their formation at the foot of Yanran Mountain.

It's completely combat formation.

forward.

Zhang Fu's department.

He still used the previous tactics, the camels surrounded a huge camel city, the cavalry was in the camel city, the camels stood up when they advanced, and moved in formation with the cavalry, the cannons were all gun mounts on the back of the camels, and the supplies were all separate boxes, and The same panniers mounted on camels can be loaded and unloaded quickly.

After an order is given, the combat transition is completed within a few minutes.

And behind the Chinese army.

Each camel city formed a chessboard formation that supported each other like a hollow phalanx. His central army was in the center of the chessboard formation, and a hot air balloon was raised above his head to issue instructions to the surrounding armies with flags.

The cavalry is also placed in the camel city.

The disadvantage of this tactic is that the consumption of ammunition is relatively large.

But the advantages are obvious.

Anyway, the ammunition of the Ming army is enough for a large-scale battle, and there is no need to save it. As long as it can pass a large-scale battle and cause heavy damage to the enemy, then the remaining cold weapons for battle are enough.

The left and right wings are all cavalry, and the left wing is composed of Zhou Xing's lieutenant general, who is also an old friend of Yang Feng. He was originally the commander of Ningdu, Zhuang De, who was the main force in the last attack on Xiyang Ha. In addition, he was also the one who killed Tan Yuan in history.The right wing is Sun Ke. Although Sun Ke is indeed worse than his father, Sun Xingzu, it doesn't look too bad so far, and his subordinates are all elites of Shanxi Xingdu.

This huge formation already has the momentum of Zhu Di's military parade in the original history.

King Yan personally brought his personal guards.

That is, Tan Yuan and Qiu Fu, these two subordinates are shock cavalry.

It is equivalent to Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army.

Of course, the number is not that many, in fact, there are only 1000 people, but all of them are new armors.

A simplified version of plate armor similar to full armor.

With stern faces on their faces, each of them held a spear majesticly.

Then Zhu Di turned his back on Yan Ran's mountain inscription, and roared at all the troops to hit the Tianshan Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, he brought the whole army to pay homage to the heroic spirits of the ancestors in front of the Yanran mountain inscription, and then each army walked down the mountain one by one.

This Yanran Mountain parade has completely solved the morale problem of the Ming army's long-distance march, and they will be full of energy when they move forward.

Of course, the weather is getting warmer as we move forward.

They followed the Zabhan River to the west.

However, the speed of the march was not fast. Although the Ming army was not short of food, it is impossible for the horses and camels to have food when they came here, so they could only let them graze on their own. There are places with grass, but this is just the beginning of spring. Even if the snow melts quickly, the grass below has been exposed, but there is not much to eat, and it takes a long time for a horse to eat enough.So they were actually half herding horses and half marching, and they only walked dozens of miles a day, and the armies had to be dispersed, otherwise there would not be enough pasture for horses and camels, and tribes began to appear along the way.But the latter did not dare to attack them, and basically ran away in fright when they found the Ming army, and then threw their camp and some valuable supplies to them.

"This is waiting for us to go deep alone!"

Yang Feng looked at a fleeing tribe in front and said.

The marching route on the grassland is actually fixed.

For example, if they want to go to the Altai Mountains, they must take the Burhan River.

So it's impossible not to be discovered.

That's why people like Su Dingfang have to take advantage of the snow to attack, because the heavy snow can block the line of sight to the greatest extent, so that they won't be discovered by the nomadic cavalry guarding in the distance, but their method has no concealment at all.

It is inevitable to be discovered.

Especially Arutai must be nearby.

You can't take this guy lightly, after all, Qiu Fu and others were wiped out...

Of course, it was impossible for Qiu Fu in history to have an army of [-], and Zhu Di could not afford to support [-] cavalry, let alone bring [-] cavalry to the grassland. It is inferred that he is at the [-] level.This number is reasonable. For the in-depth battle on the grassland, their [-] is already terrifying. The horses and camels of this army have almost taken out more than half of the northern part of Daming.

Not one man and one horse.

The combat cavalry consisted of two horses per person, and only one gunner and logistics soldier with camels, but they carried tens of thousands of camels, carrying ammunition, feed, and canned food.

Moreover, there were really [-] cavalry, so there was no possibility of Qiu Fu losing.

Eliminate one hundred thousand cavalry?

How many cavalry did Arutai have to gather?
At least 30, 30 cavalry means 300 million herdsmen.

How can he have so many people?
At that time, the Mongolian grassland had already been divided into two groups, the east and the west, and Oara in the west was even hostile to him. Uliangha was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and he was just a Tatar.

The population that the grassland can support is extremely limited.

What's more, he doesn't even have Monan.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Dan Khan boasted that the grassland controlled 40 khans. He was ridiculed by the wild boar skin, and you can have [-] cavalry. After being humiliated, he sent troops to try to rescue Zai Sai, who was captured alive by the wild boar skin. Thousands of people.One of the most important tribal groups, the Neikalkha tribe, has a relatively large population because it occupies the best quality pastures in western Liaoning. In the end, Chaohua gathered all the forces of Neikalkha to fight the wild boar skin, and only gathered [-] people who could fight.

This is all the men in Nekhka who can take up arms.

As for the records of tens or even hundreds of thousands of riders in later generations, they are all false.

Ten thousand cavalry is boundless.

You can blow a million.

However, as Zhu Di's main opponent in his later years, Alutai can't take him lightly even if he is hit hard now.

"I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm afraid they won't come."

Zhang Fu said.

Indeed, for the Ming army, the best thing is a decisive battle.

If the Mongolian ministries refused to fight decisively and instead dispersed, it would be a waste of time.

"They should also hope for a decisive battle. After all, our performance is more like delivering food to them, but this is the battlefield..."

Yang Feng looked down at his watch.

"Well, if I'm not wrong, they will be waiting for us in Kobdo."

He said.

This is the most suitable battlefield.

Because for the various tribes of Oala, the most important thing is not to allow the Ming army to cross the Altai Mountains. The area between the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains is their core pastoral area.But they couldn't go north to face the battle, because the Ming army's fighting power was too strong, and they were not sure about the decisive battle, so the best way was to move the battlefield as far west as possible without passing the Altai Mountains.In this way, the Ming army can consume its strength during the long-distance march, while they wait for work at leisure, and at the same time gather as many troops as possible to fight the Ming army.

So Kobdo is the most suitable.

Even continue to the west, to the sad place and Tongbo of my Qing Dynasty.

There controls the passes through the Altai Mountains.

Although there are many passages through the Altai Mountains, especially the east, it is a desert. The cavalry go in, not to mention the horses grazing, and there is no water. The lake, and then along the lake to the location of Kobduo City on the west bank.

Of course, there is no city now.

Then continue west to Hetongbo.

I don't know what it's called now.

From Hetongbo to the Altai Mountains, walk through the mountain canyons and pass the Altai Mountains, and then you can fly freely.

"Go, go and have a fight with them to decide the world!"

Yang Feng said.
