Chapter 394 Traveling thousands of miles, soldiers are very fast

Along the southeast coast of Daming, there are many people running boats to sea.

Even Lu Li's "home" once went to sea. The origin of Lu Li's identity is because Lu Family Eldest Young Master took the young Master Young Master to the sea to run the boat and never returned, so that Lu Li was able to occupy the magpie's nest.

In today's Ming Dynasty, it was officially forbidden to go to sea.

In this case, Lu Li had no problem at all to collect ships that transported 15,000 soldiers, horses and military supplies.

Of course, because of the prohibition of the sea, it is illegal to go out to sea now.

Lu Li, the Songjiang commander in chief, also has the function of combating "smuggling" out of the sea. Coupled with Lu Li's terrifying record, Lu Li's move to ask various companies to transport troops and horses by sea was successfully supported.

Three days later, at the Jinshan port built on the Southern Sea coast of Jinshan Weidong, densely packed hundreds of ships docked.

The overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty was actually very prosperous.

The Spanish duck people worked hard to find gold and silver in the world, of which the gold and silver from 2/3/2022 were sent to Daming and replaced with silk and porcelain.

Lu Li looked at the densely packed ship in front of him and sighed in his heart.

The prosperity of overseas trade is actually a good thing. The only problem is...Imperial Court doesn't get a penny. As a result, the Ming treasury had no money, but the money in the families of officials and gentry piled up like a mountain.

What made Lu Li even more sigh was...the large ships in front of him were very similar in shape to treasure ships, and belonged to the smaller treasure ships.

Liu Great Xia set fire to the treasure ship blueprint, and then... his family became one of the biggest sea merchants in Daming. hehe, is the blueprint of the treasure ship burned, you taste it, you taste it carefully.

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

Of course, that's for the future.

"The whole army listens to the order, board the ship!"

Lu Li waved his hand, and the soldiers under his command, lined up in a neat line, boarded the ship one after another.

All kinds of military supplies were also loaded onto the ship, in addition to guns, ammunition and food, there were also sleds specially made by Lu Li.

The sled is naturally to deal with the section of the road where the Bohai Sea freezes.

The average thickness of the ice along the coast of the Bohai Sea reaches 20 cm. Such solid ice is completely a highway!

The entire marching route, from Songjiang Prefecture to the sea by boat, arrived in Dengzhou. Then landed in Dengzhou and turned to Laizhou by land. The ice layer in the Bohai Sea to the north of Laizhou is already thick enough, and then I rush to Jinmen on a sleigh.

Lu Li expects the army to reach the capital within ten days. Within half a month, you can drive to the Datong border crossing.

This speed is at least two or three times faster than marching thousands of miles in the wind and snow.

……

On the Jinshanwei Pier, the tense and orderly boarding lasted for half a day.

Fifteen thousand troops boarded the ship one after another, and all kinds of military supplies were loaded. Lu Li gave an order and set sail.

Fleet arrived in Dengzhou after four days and four nights.

This is faster than Lu Li expected. It seems that the navigation technology of the Ming Dynasty is not bad. The worst is the Imperial Court, and the sailing skills in private hands are not bad at all.

When Dengzhou went ashore, Lu Li could already see the ice floes on the sea.

The army went ashore and spent most of the day loading and unloading supplies. After a day of marching on land, they arrived in Laizhou.

The coast of Laizhou has been completely frozen.

The army camped outside the city of Laizhou and spent another two days repairing it.

Replace spiked horseshoes, swap the wheels of the cargo carriage for sleds, and assemble a troop sled.

Because of the shortage of mules and horses, Lu Li almost swept away all the animals such as mules, horses, donkeys and cattle in Denglai and bought them all. Only then did the animals for the troop sleigh come together.

Apart from this , Lu Li also sent a vanguard unit to step on the Bohai Sea ice first, check the thickness of the ice, and plan the marching route.

On the third day, the army was dispatched, along the small flagpole erected on the ice by the vanguard, took a sleigh car, and rushed all the way to the capital.

It has to be said that the speed of sliding on the ice is really fast.

Two days later, the army arrived in Tianjin.

The Imperial court bosses in Yanjing City were shocked when they learned that Lu Li had arrived in Tianjin with the army.

So fast?

Everyone knows the truth of how fast a soldier is, but the question is how to be fast?

It has been less than ten days since Yunjian Bo's army set out. Has this arrived in Jinmen?

In the afternoon, the Imperial court bosses were even more horrified.

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

The reason why it can be so fast is mainly because in the northern boundary, the ground is also covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, and the sled is also suitable for land.

The army camped outside the city of Yanjing. Lu Li dispatched people to hand over orders to the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army.

It stands to reason that the Emperor Jiajing is going to summon the honorable generals of Lu Li this level to arrive in Beijing.

However...the Emperor Jiajing, who was busy with cultivation, simply didn't think of this.

The emperor didn't say that he wanted to summon Lu Li, so it would be inconvenient for the imperial court bosses to meet with Lu Li. What do you want to meet with the generals stationed outside the city of Yanjing with heavy troops in hand?

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

I was stationed outside the city of Yanjing overnight. In the early morning of the second day, the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army issued a military order, and the imperial decree Lu Li immediately led the army to set off for the Datong border.

Lu Li took over the military order, curl one's lip, ordered the camp to be demolished, and the whole army assembled.

15,000 soldiers and horses, lined up neatly, holding bright sun and moon banners high, stood outside Yanjing City, moved towards Yanjing City and shouted loudly.

"Daming mighty!"

"Daming mighty!"

"Daming mighty!"

The army shouted in unison, majestic and mighty The sound was like a tsunami and landslide, sweeping across the four directions.

At this moment, a mighty cry echoes between Heaven and Earth.

In the city of Yanjing, countless people were startled by the shouting, and they turned their heads and looked towards the direction outside the city.

It was the mighty and mighty Ming Dynasty, but it was not the Tartar attack.

But...when did I, Daming, have such a majestic military power?

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

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

A large army of black clothed whole body, lined up neatly, marching in neat steps, rumbled around the city.

Apart from the neat footsteps, there was no noise in this army.

Queue neat and tidy as if measured with a ruler. Even in the middle of the march, the neat queue is not in the slightest disorder, still neat and tidy.

Where is this army from?

When did Daming have such a heroic army?

City gate, Minister of War Zhang Juzheng, looked up at the neat and tidy army in front of him, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he was amazed.

Uncle Yunjian is worthy of being a famous general in the world.

……

The city of Datong.

Zhang Qin, the commander-in-chief of Datong, was sitting in front of the office, looking at the map in front of him, his face covered with gloomy clouds.

Daming set up a total of twenty-four guards and seventy-two forts in Datong Prefecture to defend the city with strong troops and defend against the Tartar cavalry in the north.

Now, on the map placed in front of Chief Soldier Zhang Qin, the seventy-two fortresses on the periphery have been covered with red "X", and almost all of them have fallen to the enemy.

These front-line fortresses with only hundreds of troops are mainly used to warn the rear and block the enemy.

According to the original design, once the front-line fortress found that the Tatars were attacking and ignited the beacon, the rear army was dispatched and cooperated with the fortress defenders to defeat the foreign enemy.

It's just...Since the Ming army couldn't fight in the field and could only defend the city, the role of these frontline fortresses was only a warning.

It has been half a month since the Tatars were on the frontier, and Zhang Qin had expected the fall of the frontline fortress.

Today's plan is to keep the city of Datong from being attacked by the Tatars, even if it is lucky.

"General, urgent military situation."

At this time, a personal soldier rushed in and reported to Zhang Qinhui: "Yesterday, 50,000 Tatar cavalry attacked the Datong right guard. Now Datong Youwei and Yulinwei are trapped. Datong Zuowei and Yunchuanwei are in an emergency."

"Got it!"

Zhang Qin's expressionless nodded.

The Acropolis on the left and right sides of Datong fell, which was also expected by Zhang Qin. Zhang Qin naturally knew very well how much battle strength the guards under his command had, and it was impossible to stop the Tatar cavalry.

As for sending troops to help? forget it! Once the army leaves Datong City, what if it is ambushed by the Tatar cavalry? Better to be cautious.

As long as Datong City can be defended, even if the outer fortresses and the acropolis are all lost, it is still a victory.

I hope that the Tatar cavalry will kill the soldiers of these fortresses and the acropolis, and after robbing the military supplies and forage, they can withdraw their troops!

Zhang Qin let out a long sigh. He also knew that after sweeping down these forts and acropolis, the Tartar cavalry would not retreat.

Tatar Khan does not bring his tribes to fight Ming, and his tribes will unite to fight him.

So... Fighting Daming, it can not only gain prestige, but also solve internal conflicts, and also take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the clan under his command, it is simply perfect.

A few days later, the Tartar cavalry was approaching the city.

In just a few days, all the garrison fortresses outside Datong City were captured. One hundred thousand Tatar cavalry killed Datong city.

At the same time, 50,000 Tatar cavalry attacked Dongsheng City, and 50,000 cavalry attacked Wanquan City.

The Tatar army marched on three routes, and for a while, the Xuanfu was in the same area.

......

"Boom!"

The stone bullets fired by the Tartar back-to-back artillery hit the wall heavily, and half of the towering tower collapsed. .

"Open the cannons! Open the cannons! Blast the return cannons for Lao Tzu!" A roar.

After roaring for a while, the general turned his head and looked towards Zhang Qin, "Master Chief, where are the reinforcements! Where are the reinforcements?>

"How can the reinforcements come so quickly?"

Zhang Qin shook the head, "It is said that the Imperial Court dispatched troops from Songjiang Prefecture in southern Zhili to come and wait for the reinforcements to come... The Tatars are all finished. Going back."

"The special mother!"

The general covered in dirt scolded, "Imperial court adults, do you have any brains?"

Just as he was talking, a loud trumpet sounded in the distance.

"Did dah dah dah..."

The mournful trumpet echoes between Heaven and Earth.

Below the Great Wall in the distance, on a snow-covered hill, a flag of the sun and the moon is raised high, and the bright flags are fluttering in the wind.

"Boom boom boom..."

Under the hill, a black clothed army, lined up in a neat square formation, walked in a neat pace, appeared in the Tartar behind the cavalry.

"That's...reinforcement?"

The general covered in dirt looked at an army of tens of thousands of people appearing on the edge of the Great Wall, and there was no surprise in his eyes. Rather...surprised and angry.

"Where did this army come from? Who was the general who led the army? How did they get behind the Tartar cavalry? Why didn't they lead the army into the city? That's not what courting death is looking for!"

p>

The generals covered in dirt couldn't help but curse.

The commander-in-chief Zhang Qin was also speechless.

Since you brought troops to help, why didn't you enter the city? Why did you run behind the enemy? Can't even figure out the direction?

Done! Done! This support army is dead!

Trifling 10,000 infantry, facing 100,000 Tartar cavalry, this battle simply does not need to be fought, and a charge will collapse.

Are you here to help, or are you here to give heads to the Tartars?

What shocked Zhang Qin was that the black clothed army had actually formed a formation under the hill, and it seemed that they were going to face the 100,000 Tatar cavalry head-on!

In addition to his courage, Zhang Qin has nothing to say.

The appearance of this troop also surprised the Tartar cavalry outside the city.

Tatar Khan almost laughed when he looked at the black clothed army that was backed by the Great Wall and lined up on the mountain.

Where did the Ming army come from? Trifling 10,000 soldiers and horses, still dare to leave the city? 10,000 infantry, facing 100,000 iron cavalry, isn't this here to die?

"Ter Khan, take your people there. Cut off their heads for me!"

The Tatar Khan waved to a tribal headman next to him, "I'm going to Good kumiss, waiting for you to celebrate!"

"hahahaha! Good!"

Teer Khan laughed and walked out of the military tent with a long sword.

The horn sounded, and a 20,000-strong cavalry set out from the Tartar camp and moved towards the direction of the black clothed army.

Lu Li stood under the flagpole on the top of the mountain, raised the telescope, looked towards the distant Tatar army, with a sneer of disdain on his face.

These Tatar cavalry are all cold weapon troops and have little threat.

"Send the order! After 500 meters of contact with the enemy, start attacking."

The reason for the advance to the distance of 500 meters is mainly because most of the soldiers under his command have only received three New recruits who have been training for months will inevitably panic when they enter the battlefield for the first time.

If you put it too close, it would be embarrassing in case you were so scared that you dropped the gun and ran away.

"Boom!"

When the 20,000 Tatar cavalry approached the army formation for about 1,000 meters, they began to charge.

The horseshoe stomps, the violent roar and the strong vibration make people feel involuntarily fearful, and it is indeed a huge psychological test for the infantry in the formation.

The recruits in the army had become short of breath, sweating, and some even turned pale.

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

"Five hundred meters to the enemy!"

The staff officer reports to Lu Li.

"Fire!"
