Chapter 397

In the southeast coastal area of Daming, there are many people running boats to go to sea.

Even Lu Li's "family" had people going out to sea. The origin of Lu Li's identity is that the eldest son of the Lu family took the young master to the sea to run, and when he went to the boat and didn't return, he let Lu Li take over the nest.

In today's Ming Dynasty, it is natural for officials to ban the sea. In fact There are few gentry families in the southeast who do not go to sea by boat.

Under such circumstances, it is not a problem for the land to collect and transport 15000 troops and supplies from sea going ships.

Of course, because of the ban on the sea, it's illegal to go sailing now.

Luli, the Songjiang general, also has the function of cracking down on "smuggling" at sea. In addition, Lu Li's terrifying fighting record made Lu Li's move to ask for sea ships to transport troops smoothly received support.

Three days later, hundreds of seagoing ships were berthed at the Jinshan port built on the southeast coast of Jinshanwei.

In fact, overseas trade was very prosperous in the Ming Dynasty.

Xiban duck people toiled all over the world for gold and silver. Two thirds of the gold and silver were sent to Daming and replaced with silk and porcelain. They happily took it back to show off.

Lu Li looked at the dense sea going ships in front of him and sighed.

The prosperity of overseas trade is actually a good thing. The only problem is The court did not receive a cent. As a result, the Treasury of the Ming Dynasty had no money, but the money in the families of the officials and gentry piled up like a mountain.

What makes Lu Li sigh more is that In front of me, a large sea going ship was very similar to a treasure ship in shape, belonging to a small treasure ship.

Liu Daxia set the ship on fire, and then His family became one of the biggest sea merchants in Daming. Hehe, whether the treasure ship's drawing is burned or not, you need to be careful.

When Lao Tzu's destroyer is built, I'll see who dares not to pay taxes!

Of course, this is the future.

"The whole army is ordered to board the ship!"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Li's officers and men, in a neat line, boarded the ship one after another.

All kinds of military materials were also loaded on board, including guns, ammunition, grain and grass, as well as sledges specially made by Luli.

The sledge was designed to cope with the ice in the Bohai Sea.

The average thickness of the ice along the coast of the Bohai Sea is 20 cm. This kind of ice is a highway!

The whole March took a boat from Songjiangfu to Dengzhou. Then he landed in Dengzhou and turned to Laizhou by land. In the north of Laizhou, the ice layer in the Bohai Sea is thick enough, and then take a sled to Jinmen.

Lu Li predicted that the army would reach the capital within ten days. Within half a month, we can go to Datong border.

This speed is at least two or three times faster than marching all the way through the wind and snow.

……

On the Jinshanwei wharf, they boarded the ship in an orderly manner, which lasted for half a day.

Fifteen thousand troops successively boarded the ship, and all kinds of military materials were loaded. At the command of Luli, he set sail.

Four days and four nights later, the fleet arrived in Dengzhou.

This is faster than Luli expected. It seems that the navigation skills of the Ming Dynasty were not bad. What's worse is the imperial court. The navigation skills of the private hands are not bad at all.

When landing in Dengzhou, Luli could already see the floating ice on the sea.

The army went ashore and spent more than half a day loading and unloading materials. After a day's land March, we arrived in Laizhou.

Laizhou coast has been completely frozen.

The army camped outside Laizhou City and spent another two days to repair it.

Replace the spiked horseshoes, replace the wheels of the freight wagon with sleds, and assemble the military sled.

Because of the shortage of mules and horses, Luli almost wiped out all the mules, horses, donkeys and cattle in Denglai and bought them all. This brings together the animals to pull the troop sled.

In addition, Luli also sent a vanguard force to step on the Bohai sea ice, check the ice thickness and plan the march route.

On the third day, the army went out and took a sled car to the capital along the small flagpole erected by the vanguard on the ice.

I have to say, it's really fast to slide on the ice.

Two days later, the army arrived in Tianjin.

The leaders of the imperial court in Yanjing city were shocked to learn that Lu Li had arrived in Jinmen with his troops after receiving the express from Jinmen express.

So fast?

Everyone knows that speed is the most important thing in war. The question is how to achieve speed?

It has been less than ten days since yunjianbo's army was established. Is this the way to Jinmen?

In the afternoon of that day, the leaders in the court were even more shocked.

Because Lu Li's army has arrived outside Yanjing city.

The reason why it can be so fast is that in the north, the ground is also covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, and sleigh is also suitable for land.

The army encamped outside Yanjing. According to the law, Lu Li sent people to hand over the order to the Ministry of war and the governor's office of the Fifth Army.In principle, Emperor Jiajing wanted to summon xungui generals of Lu Li's rank to Beijing.

However The emperor Jiajing, who was busy with the cultivation of immortals, didn't think of it at all.

The emperor did not say that he would summon Lu Li, so it was not convenient for the leaders in the court to meet Lu Li. What do you want to meet with the generals who are stationed outside Yanjing?

So Lu Li came all the way to the capital, but no one paid any attention to him.

He stayed outside Yanjing for one night. The next morning, the Ministry of war and the governor's office of the Fifth Army issued a military order, ordering Lu Li to immediately lead his troops to the Datong border.

Lu Li took the military order, turned his lip, ordered to dismantle the camp, and assembled the whole army.

Fifteen thousand soldiers and horses, standing outside Yanjing city in neat lines, holding high the bright flag of the sun and the moon, shouting in the direction of Yanjing city.

"The Ming Dynasty is powerful!"

"The Ming Dynasty is powerful!"

"The Ming Dynasty is powerful!"

The army shouts in unison, and the mighty voice is like a sea howling and a landslide, sweeping all directions.

At this moment, the mighty cry reverberated between heaven and earth.

In Yanjing City, countless people were shocked by the cry and turned to look out of the city one by one.

It's the mighty Ming Dynasty, not Tartars.

But When did Daming have such great military power?

Near the city gate, countless people craned their necks and looked at this strange army outside the city.

The bright red flag of sun and moon fluttered in the wind.

A whole body of the army in black, lined up in a neat line, with neat steps, roaring around the city.

There was no noise in the army except the sound of neat footsteps.

The line was as neat as if it had been measured with a ruler. Even in the March, the neat line is still neat without any confusion.

Where's this army from?

When did Daming have such an army?

At the gate of the city, Zhang Juzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of war, looked up at the neat army formation in front of him. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes and his heart was filled with wonder.

Yunjianbo is worthy of being a famous general in the world. Such a powerful army has the potential of swallowing thousands of Li.

……

Datong City.

Zhang Qin, general of Datong, sat in front of the case, looking at the map in front of him, his face covered with gloomy clouds.

In the territory of Datong Prefecture, Daming set up 24 guards and 72 fortresses to strengthen the city and resist the northern Tatar cavalry.

Now, on the map in front of chief Zhang Qin, the surrounding 72 fortresses are covered with red "×", and almost all of them are occupied by the enemy.

These front-line fortresses with only a few hundred troops are mainly used to warn the rear and block the enemy.

According to the original design, once the front-line fortress discovers that Tatars are coming and lights the beacon fire, the rear army will go out to cooperate with the fortress garrison, so as to defeat the foreign enemies.

It's just Since the Ming army could not fight in the field and could only defend the city, the function of these front-line fortresses was only warning.

It has been half a month since the tartar invasion and the collapse of the front-line fortress was expected by Zhang Qin.

Today's plan is to keep Datong City from being conquered by Tatars.

"General, military emergency."

At this time, a soldier rushed in and reported to Zhang Qinhui: "yesterday, 50000 Tatar cavalry attacked Datong right back. Now Datong right guard and Yulin guard have fallen. Datong Zuowei and Yunchuan Wei are in a hurry. "

"I see!"

Zhang Qin nodded without expression.

Datong about the fall of the Acropolis, which is also expected by Zhang Qin. Of course, Zhang Qin was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the guards under his command. He could not resist the tartar cavalry.

As for troop assistance? forget it! Once the army leaves Datong, what if it is ambushed by Tatar cavalry? It's better to be cautious.

As long as we can keep Datong City, even if the fortress and acropolis are lost, it is still a victory.

I hope the Tatar cavalry can withdraw after killing the soldiers of these fortresses and acropolis and robbing the army supplies!

Zhang Qin sighed. He also knew that the Tatar cavalry would not retreat after the fortresses and Acropolis were swept away.

If Tatar Khan did not bring his tribe to fight Daming, his tribe would unite to fight him.

So To fight Daming, you can not only brush your reputation, but also solve the internal contradictions, and also take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the lower clans.

A few days later, the Tatar cavalry was on its way.

In just a few days, all the garrisons outside Datong were lost. One hundred thousand Tatar cavalry soldiers were killed in Datong City.

At the same time, 50000 Tatar cavalry attacked Dongsheng City and 50000 cavalry attacked the whole city.

The Tatar army marched along the third route. For a moment, the Xuanfu Datong area was full of flames and the situation was in danger.

……

"Boom!"The stone bullets from Tatar's back and forth bombardment hit the wall heavily, and the towering tower collapsed half way.

"Fire! Fire! Blow up those cannons for me

A general on the wall of the city climbed out of the crumbs of the collapsed building and roared at the top of his voice.

After roaring for a while, the general turned to look at Zhang Qin, "chief, where's the reinforcements! Where are the reinforcements? The casualties are too great. How can we defend the city if we don't come to the reinforcements? "

"How can reinforcements be so fast?"

Zhang Qin shook his head. "It's said that the Korean Central Government sent troops from Songjiang Prefecture in nanzhili to help, waiting for the reinforcements to come The Tatars have gone back. "

"Damn it

The disheartened general angrily scolded, "do the adults in the court have brains?"

Just then, a loud bugle sounded in the distance.

"Diddida Dida..."

The shrill sound of the trumpet reverberated between heaven and earth.

Under the Great Wall in the distance, on a snow covered hill, a sun and moon flag was set up high, and the bright flag fluttered in the wind.

"Boom boom..."

At the bottom of the hill, an army in black appeared behind the Tatar cavalry in a neat square formation and with neat steps.

"That's Reinforcements? "

The disheartened general, looking at an army of tens of thousands of people on the edge of the Great Wall, is not surprised, but There was a mixture of shock and anger.

"Where did this come from? Who is the general in charge? How did you get behind the Tatar cavalry? Why don't you take the soldiers to the city? That's not the way to look for death! "

The disheartened general could not resist a burst of abuse.

Zhang Qin, commander in chief, was also speechless.

Why don't you go to the city since you've brought soldiers to help? Why did you run behind the enemy? Don't you even know the direction?

It's over! finished! The support army is dead!

Only ten thousand infantry, facing ten thousand Tatar cavalry, there is no need to fight this battle at all, and a charge will collapse.

Are you here to support or to give the Tatars their heads?

To Zhang Qin's shock, the army in black was fighting down the hill. It seemed that it was going to face the 100000 Tatar cavalry head on!

Except for his courage, Zhang Qin had nothing to say.

The appearance of this unit also surprised the Tatar cavalry outside the city.

Tatar Khan almost laughed when he looked at the troops in black lined up against the Great Wall.

Where is this Ming army from? Ten thousand soldiers and horses dare to leave the city? Ten thousand infantry, facing one hundred thousand cavalry, isn't it to die?

"Thierhan, take your men. Cut off their heads for me

Tatar Khan waved his hand to a tribal leader nearby. "I'm ready to celebrate for you."

"Ha ha ha! Good

Thierhan laughed and walked out of the tent with a long knife.

When the horn sounded, a cavalry of 20000 men set out from the Tatar camp and headed for the army in black.

Standing under the flagpole at the top of the mountain, Lu Li raised his telescope and looked at the Tatar army in the distance with a sneer on his face.

These Tatar cavalry, all cold weapons, almost no threat.

"Herald! After five hundred meters, the enemy began to attack. "

The reason why we moved to the distance of 500 meters ahead of time is mainly because most of our soldiers are only recruits who have received three months of training. When they go to the battlefield for the first time, they will inevitably panic.

If you put it too close, it will be embarrassing if you are scared to drop the gun and run away.

"Boom!"

Twenty thousand Tatar cavalry soldiers began to charge when they approached the army for about one kilometer.

The horse's hoof flying, violent roar and strong vibration make people feel a sense of fear. It is indeed a great psychological test for the infantry in the array.

The recruits in the army have become short of breath, sweating and even pale.

If it wasn't for the strict discipline during the military training that made them accustomed to obeying orders, I'm afraid these recruits would have collapsed before they started fighting.

"Five hundred meters to the enemy!"

The staff officer reports to Lu Li.

"Fire!"
