445 Triangle

Baoyi, who changed his master, cried and said that he wanted to be a new person and received good treatment.

Among them, the injured were debunked and sutured by military doctors, and then everyone ate the delicious horse broth soak cakes.

In the 17th century, there was no so-called "scented" horse broth. How could the good conditions come from eating dead horses in the ranks? It was just throwing a handful of salt in a pot and cooking the horse meat.

The Mongolians and flag soldiers who cook half-natural meat all day long are of course good, but if anyone dares to bring a bowl to the time travelers... his chrysanthemums will be in trouble.

Seasoning is not a high-tech thing, it just grinds the star anise cinnamon produced in the south and then mixes it up in proportion. Not to mention five-spice powder, daily seasonings including thirteen-spice, fried chicken powder, etc. have long been tinkered with time travelers to sell them everywhere.

The military supplies that came to Tianjin by the northbound fleet also had "standard seasonings". These small bags sealed with oil paper have standard grams. As long as the cooks open the specified number of small bags in proportion according to the weight of the water in the pot, the soldiers can eat the five-spice horse soup, the thirteen-spice horse soup, the cumin horse soup... In short, the taste is good and you can definitely swallow it.

So the surrendered coats ate large pieces of horse meat and cakes.

After eating, they were shocked and met the Ming officials wearing big red official robes. The familiar style of the official robes made the coats relax a lot - these soldiers wearing weird green jackets made them at a loss.

In theory, Zhang Zhongqi cannot wear a red robe. His real level is not qualified at all, but no one cares about this issue now.

After the "high official" in red robe appeared, he first introduced himself: the general who came to the south of the Ming Dynasty to serve the king.

Then Lord Zhang expressed his opinion on these coats: As long as they cooperate well and obey orders and obey orders, the previous affairs will not only be eliminated, but also receive silver rewards.

In addition, after this incident, Lord Wang also promised that in the future, everyone would divide the land and subcontract the clothes in a farm called the "Philippines" in the south.

After this set of soft and hard comforting methods, no matter what the real thoughts of these coats were, at least on the surface, they showed enough willingness to cooperate.

This is enough, just be willing to cooperate, and then someone can take up the job.

Two intelligence officials who had been observing the group of people for a long time picked up one and came out to the top of the city.

Based on the rich workplace experience of traveling through the crowd, these two coats belong to the kind of people who are cowardly and dare not cause trouble. So after these two were picked out, they changed their clothes and armor and were assigned to the two corner buildings in the southwest and southeast.

These two corner floors are facing the corridor mountain road from west to east at the foot of Santunying.

According to the confessions of the Baoyi people, every other day, at most two days, there will be messengers passing by in Zunhua, which is located in the front line of contact with the Ming army, and report safety along the way. The terminal is Yongping City, where Erbeile Amin is stationed.

Generally speaking, the messenger left Zunhua early in the morning to the east. It was just forty miles between Zunhua and Santunying, and the messenger would pass by around 9 a.m.

This is the purpose of the time travelers' emergency submission and coat: fool the messenger.

The time for work this time was just right. Less than an hour after the two men went to the corner building, the special forces team members who were working as observation posts in Sanli to the west came to the news: The three cavalry and Tartar soldiers were coming along the mountain road.

"Dadadada" sounded the horse's hooves. When the knight came to the city of Santunying, a familiar head immediately poked out from the west corner tower: "Lin Bao, what's the situation ahead?"

The ones who were sent out to work hard at this time were naturally their robbers. Zunhua is now facing military pressure, and the regular Tartar soldiers are preparing for war in the city, so these three knights happen to know the one on the city.

The knight across the moat looked up and found that he was asking about Lan Na, who was familiar to him. So he put his hands together and shouted, "Zunhua is fine, Minggou dare not approach him."

Baoyi on the corner tower smiled: "Okay, it seems that the brothers can live for a while."

"That's not." The knight named Lin Bao shouted again: "Don't worry about gnawing on your bones."

After the roar, the three riders left again, and waved to another coat that stretched out his head at the southwest corner.

What the three knights did not observe was that the coat named Lanna had a dense layer of sweat on his forehead in just a few words - it was really uncomfortable to be pushed against the waist with a dagger.

Fortunately, everything was safe, and the messenger continued to set off without any doubt. The harmonious ending of this scene also indirectly saved the messenger's life: once a situation happened just now, the three cavalry would definitely be killed by the special forces members ambushed behind the city wall.

In that case, the troops must be forced to launch the next stage of attack in advance, which is not what Qian Tieshan and the others want.

Shortly after the messenger left, he arranged a lookout sentry to the east to send a message: The Tatars had already left the city three miles and were continuing to move eastward.

After waiting for a while, when the lookout posts stuck at both ends of Santun Camp reported that everything was normal, the suspension bridge at the south gate was put down. At the same time, a long team of pack horses rushed out, crossed the valley of only a few hundred meters, and rushed straight into the city.

The pack horse team has been waiting behind the mountain for a long time. Now due to the war, the Ming people on the mountain road have disappeared, so as long as the messenger has passed, they can transfer the supplies.

It is worth mentioning that early this morning, Taoist Master Xuan Chengzi on Jingzhong Mountain brought several colleagues from the Three Realms (abbot and teacher) down the mountain together to prepare to work hard... They stood on the top of the mountain last night, drinking tea while clearly seeing the meteor shower shot from the bullet below.

As a result, these people were driven back - no one was allowed to go down the mountain in the past half month, and one person went down the mountain, and the whole village was ligated. The wrong thing was that the whole village was killed!

After the pack horse team entered the city, they quickly unloaded the supplies stored in the valley. Then, two bamboo baskets were hung on the left and right sides of the horse's back, a few heads were placed inside, and a piece of cloth was covered with them. Those who didn't know thought it was a melon seller.

After changing the "cargo", the pack horse team quickly left the city and went back to the valley to continue changing the clothes and supplies.

After a few trips like this, all the supplies were transported into Santunying.

When the pack horse team left the city for the last trip, there were one hundred additional soldiers from the Flying Tiger Camp.

There is a reason for this team to appear: except for those who took the initiative to abandon darkness and turn to light, the other captives of genuine Tartars and loyal people will be escorted all the way to Tianjin.

These deadly hard elements have not yet entered the water since last night, and many of them have suffered minor injuries and bleeding, so they are all depressed now, with their hands tied to the saddle, and they are not interested in resisting under the shiny sabre.

It is necessary to drive all the uncertainties out of Santun Camp. Since the battle was relatively smooth and the best results of the pre-planning were achieved, so early this morning, there were already 200 guard battalions reserve teams in Tianjin riding horses toward this side.

Next, when two hundred soldiers arrive at Santun Camp, they will be responsible for defending the city; all the remaining mobile forces will go out to the east to attack the remaining three cities.

These 200 people not only have to defend the city, but also prevent any army (including the Ming army) in the west from Zunhua direction through the Santunying intersection. In this way, the pressure on the city guards who could not even fill half of the city wall would be very high, so there should be no hidden dangers in the city, and these prisoners must be sent away.

....................................

Three days later, on April 1, 1629, two hundred soldiers guarding the city rushed to Santun Camp urgently.

This guard camp transferred from Shanghai has been practicing equestrian since he came to Tianjin, and now it finally came in handy.

After the 2oo troops arrived at Santun Camp, the number of non-combat workers was reduced by more than ten people in the mountainous cyclists, most of whom were minor injuries that could continue to fight. This number was quite good.

And in these three days, the army was fully equipped with military power, and the army of the kings sent by the imperial center far away in the south were finally ready to start the second half of the battle.

Santunying has an excellent geographical location, 40 miles from the west entrance of the corridor and 40 miles from the east entrance of the corridor.

After leaving the east entrance of the corridor, heading south along the Luanhe Plain and walking for another 40 miles, it is the first county town to "restore" in the plan of traveling through the people: Qian'an.

Regarding the second half of this battle, the tactics of sneak attacking Santun Camp in the early stage are completely different.

The three cities of Qian'an County, Luanzhou County, and Yongping Prefecture are almost an equilateral triangle, with their respective sides lengths of forty or fifty miles.

Unlike the Santunying Military City, the above three cities are all ordinary cities with a large number of civilians living in. These cities with low defense opened their doors to surrender as soon as the Eight Banners soldiers attacked, so they did not suffer much damage.

So far, after the Eight Banners Army withdrew from the Pass, there were still many Ming people living in the three cities, but the defenders in the city were replaced by flag soldiers.

In this way, the three cities located on the plains were completely unable to attack.

As residents inside and outside the city live in conjunction with the Tartar soldiers, the army of crossings could neither hide on the plain nor penetrate the special forces.

Even if the small troops infiltrate, once the two sides start fighting, smoke may ignite in the houses inside and outside the city, and horses may run out to report the news at any time - many coats live in scattered areas and cannot make dumplings.

In this way, sneak attacks are no longer valid. No matter what method is used to interfere with the military's attack, the other two cities that are not far away will definitely get news.

So the time travelers could only fight strong attacks with dignity and fight continuously.
