Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 495 Blind
"Wow ha ha ha, happy!"

Carrying a machete, arrogant like a barbarian king, holding his bearded head high, Liu Tichun laughed like a madman. To be honest, following Song Qingshu, he earned a lot of money and rights. He can be a thieves That violent and bloodthirsty perverted desire has not been vented for a long time.

A real hero never looks at the explosion behind him, but Liu Tichun is obviously not a real hero. He laughs non-stop at the burning village. For more than ten years, the iron hooves of Jiannu have always trampled on the land of the Ming people wantonly. For many years, the Ming army did not fight the hinterland of Liaodong, but now they have fought back, and they are blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and the construction No matter how slaves burned it, they burned it back!
Looking at the burning Jianshou city in front of him, a famous saying from Song Qingshu suddenly came to the bearded man's mind. A real soldier wants to bring terror and violence to the enemy, and he who bullies his own people is considered a hammer soldier?Liu Tichun used to feel quite suffocated, but now, he can feel the joy of this sentence.

But before Liu Tichun could laugh enough, there were already impatient voices outside the city wall.

"Big beard, what a fucking laughing ass, the commander-in-chief has orders, keep marching! Marching!"

Riding an exceptionally tall Liaodong horse, the deputy commander-in-chief Liu Zongmin yelled impatiently at the top of his voice. Liu Tichun, who was listening upright, couldn't help but hold back his face. No more?
But after all, he was a well-trained General of the Begging Army, muttering a few words resentfully, Liu Tichun also had a serious face, got on his horse, and shouted loudly to his subordinates who were still setting fire to and roaring in the city wall: "Little bastards! How excited is a place as big as a palm? Hurry up and go with me! Follow our commander, this time hit Hetuala in one go, dig up the old slave’s ancestral grave, and you will have a good time!”

These words raised his spirits, and the rangers of the Third Begging Division who heard it also laughed and got on their horses, joined the large team, and then galloped northward.

After a long time, most of the fire in the village was extinguished, and then the scattered Jiannu Niulu came out of the mountain in fear, the kind of pain in the heart of the Liao people who repeatedly entered the pass by the Qing army and their families were ruined. I really felt them, and looked at the completely destroyed homeland full of hatred and tears. Hundreds of Jian slaves had to go into the mountains in embarrassment, and also fled northward.

But no one noticed, it seemed that among the fleeing Jian slaves, some of them were sneaky people with braids.

It has been at least ten years, and it was Jiannu who attacked Daming, and after Mao Wenlong died, Daming never went so deep into Liaodong, landed from Lushunkou, and the Qihuo Army pushed north along the Bohai Sea, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, and Xiongyue fell under the cannons of the begging army one after another. In less than a month, the army had already rushed to the mouth of Liaohe River, which is also known as Yingkou for later generations.

Along the way, the begging army did not have the bearing of a king of the Central Plains Dynasty at all. Wherever they passed, they looted all the food and livestock, and immediately set fire to the houses. Except for Jinzhou, six or seven large and small cities, More than 100 villages were burned to the ground. The only thing that is considered kind is that Song Qingshu did not kill people indiscriminately. Of course, those who resisted said that the whole family died. It doesn't matter if you want to flee south or north.

Daming is a big country, but Jiannu is a small country. Even if most of the country is covered by rebellion and disasters, Daming can still bear it, but Jiannu can't. Song Qingshu is maximizing the destruction of its war potential and burning one more village Therefore, Jiannu will lose one Niulu's food and one more Niulu's population to eat. As long as Huang Taiji is uncomfortable, Song Qingshu will be very comfortable.

But the boys here are having a good time. As the coach, Song Qingshu is a little unhappy. He stays on the Haiquan outside Yingkou, leading a group of staff to analyze the map nervously. For a long time, Song Qingshu anxiously puts the pencil to Throwing it on the table, he opened his mouth and cursed: "Huang Taiji, you bastard, you really can't bear it!"

This half month has been overwhelming, not to say that the Qihuo army is so powerful, but actually Jiannu is too weak!

Jinzhou has just surrendered, and the Guan Ning Army, which has fought bloody battles with Jiannu for more than ten years, will not be so easy to recruit. Songshan City has not yet surrendered, and there are at least 1 elite frontier troops of the Ming Army under the command of Hong Chengchou. And now is the time to expand the results of the battle. With the power of the great victory, it may be possible to cross Ningyuan City, which was known as the curse of the Houjin, and push it directly to Shanhaiguan. 15 soldiers and horses.

Moreover, the ruling core of the Qing Dynasty was not in southern Liaoning. The Yingkou area of ​​Dalian is a famous hilly area with broken terrain and barren land. When Dongjiang Town was wiped out, Nurhachi plundered most of the remaining population in southern Liaoning, so In the vast southern Liaoning, the population is actually less than one-tenth of Jiannu.

Going north, as long as you take down Haizhouwei, you will really slap deep into the heart of Jiannu, the Liaohe Plain, which is only [-] to [-] kilometers away from Shengjing, but this marching order, Song Qingshu can I really hesitated.

It is said that it is learning from MacArthur, but the Qihuo Army is really incomparable to the old Mai, who is backed by a huge Ugly Sword, and he, together with the Navy, is less than 9 divisions, less than 5000 There are only [-] people in the navy and army here. In terms of strength, he really can't beat Jiannu.

Not to mention the Jiannu Eight Banners army that Haizhouwei can assemble. To the west of Haizhouwei is Liaohetao, where Jiannu’s loyal dog Horqin nomads, and further west is the Liaoxi Corridor. You can block yourself there. Among all the factors, Song Qingshu hesitates the most. Once he enters the army, he will be separated from the navy. Here, he can only advance along the Liaohe River to the north, and the rear road is a big problem.

Without the help of his war machine Ying Tianjian, Song Qingshu felt a little guilty.

At this time, the door of the cabin was pushed open again, wearing a set of neat business attire and short skirts, Secretary-General Li Xiangjun hurried over with a pile of information, and Song Qingshu, who was reading it, hurried up and asked: "How is it? Jinzhou Qing Is there any sign of the army retreating?"

"Back to Commander, no!"

Li Xiangjun turned Song Qingshu into an eggplant from Shuangda in one sentence, and she didn't think it was ordinary enough, so she added another sentence.

"Furthermore, the new governor of Jiliao, Yang Shengwu, led his troops out of the customs to rescue Songshan, and was defeated at Tianqiao Wanghai Terrace. More than half of the ten thousand soldiers and horses were defeated. According to the information from the defeated troops, the imperial banner of Huang Taiji appeared in the Qing army."

"What a fucking pig teammate!"

Song Qingshu, who heard the news, couldn't help but accidentally took pictures of the French red wine presented by Little William. The wine bottle smashed on the floor and ping-pong. It became silent. After a while, a chief of staff asked cautiously from the side.

"Marshal, shall we fight or retreat?"

"Back the hammer, of course continue to hit!"

Sitting on the coach's big chair again, Song Qingshu snorted and said: "Since he Huang Taiji insists on staying in Liaoxilang, then don't blame us for coming to a sword master to steal the house!"

…………

On the twelfth of October, after resting at the mouth of Liaohe River for two days, Song Qingshu personally led the team and headed north again.

Still holding the spirit of shooting and running, this time Song Qingshu only brought three divisions, Qiyi, Qisan, and Gezuo, but it was different from when he first entered Liaodong. The army has several horse farms in southern Liaoning that were all copied by Song Qingshu. There are [-] to [-] horses, regardless of whether they can fight on horses or not. At least one person is assigned two horses, one for riding and one for carrying. In terms of luggage and mobility, the Qihuo Army Zhao is really better than the Ming Army.

Compared with the desolation in the south of Liaoning, after walking along the Liaohe River for a day, I can clearly feel the difference. On the fertile land on both sides of the river, the villages of Jiannu are more than dense, and you can almost meet one within a few miles. However, Song Qingshu came here with such great fanfare, and the Jiannu here were obviously prepared. There were almost no pigs, cattle, sheep and livestock left, and most of the food had been removed.

Seeing that the Jiannu people were so enthusiastic about moving, Song Qingshu, who picked up a Kudi, had no choice but to help them clean up and burn all the Zhuangzi.

And stepping into the Liaohe River Basin, there are obviously a lot more stalkers nearby. I often find some sneaky figures in the grass and hills near the army marching, and a dozen scouts of the begging army disappeared without a trace. Song Qingshu felt rather regretful, he shouldn't have left the front-running army in Taiwan, if these murderous experts in the haystacks were there, why would they be so bullied by the local rangers that they couldn't hold their heads up.

But it was too late to regret. After suffering several losses, Song Qingshu had no choice but to order that the scout team marched with a scale of a hundred people.

However, on the third day of the march, something happened!

The night was as dense as the color of the pot, and only dozens of torches, large and small, tore a hole in the night. The air was filled with a compelling smell of blood. On both sides of the road, there were black armored corpses of beggars. Lying on the ground in a mess.

A brigade of cavalry scouts has more than 100 people, all of them are gone!

It can be seen that before the battle, these beggars not only showed the courage they should have, but also did not make mistakes in tactics. They used horses as a fortress to cover and shoot, but they still did not drag the reinforcements to arrive. Hedgehog's horse, Song Qingshu's mouth twitched obviously.

"Commander, this is definitely the work of Jiannu's regular soldiers and Eight Banners. This is also their usual battle. The large team ambushed our Ming's scouts, cut off our eyes and ears first, then created panic, kept making surprise attacks left and right, and finally defeated them!"

Zhou Yuji is an old Liaodong, and the battle here is like yesterday to him. After searching for traces on the battlefield, he came back with a solemn expression, and shook his head at Song Qingshu.

"Looking at the size of the horse's hoof, it's no less than one thousand and five!"

Such a hungry wolf with unknown whereabouts lurking beside him is obviously a hidden danger. What's more frightening is that it is just a small group of cavalry in Haicheng who is delaying time, or whether the Eight Banners army in western Liaoning has turned around?If it's the former, it's okay to fight like this. If it's the latter, then if you go north, you'll hit the iron plate yourself. Smelling the smell of blood, Song Qingshu was a little uncertain for a while.

But at this moment, another dozen or so cavalry rushed over, and the lead orderly jumped off his horse and knelt down on one knee panting.

"Marshal, the left outpost..."

"The left outpost was ambushed again?"

Song Qingshu's heart really tightened, but luckily the messenger came out of breath and quickly shook his head.

"No, the left front sentry has entered the Yaozhou station and caught some special characters, please take a quick look at them!"

This made Song Qingshu heave a sigh of relief.
