Huang Yi has strengthened discipline through words and deeds in the past few months. Zhang Dong and Huang Daquan are the ones who have learned the best.
Without any hesitation, the two of them immediately accepted the order loudly and said: "Young man, I obey!"
Huang Yi added: "The division of labor is different. If Guan Ma is left behind, he is still participating in the battle. It is not a coward."
"I understand, little one!"
Of course Zhang Dong and Huang Daquan knew what was good and what was wrong, and knew that Huang Yi was trying to protect them. At this moment, they just felt a warm current welling up in their hearts.
They secretly swore in their hearts that they must strengthen their bodies and improve their combat effectiveness. In the future, they would join the battle with their brothers and never be left behind to do logistics again.
It only took Huang Yi a few minutes to complete the arrangement, and the next step was to wait for the slow team to walk past the foot of the mountain.
Huang Yi, who had plenty of time and didn't want to wait, came to the mountain to observe again, and deliberately said to Geng Zhanghua in a calm tone:
"Next, we are going to attack the Hou Jin Army. The three of you have two choices. One choice is to go down the mountain immediately to assist Huang Daquan and Zhang Dong in managing the spare horses."
Of course Huang Yi knew that the purpose of Geng Zhanghua's master and servant coming here was to fight against the Hou Jin Army and let them choose for themselves. In fact, they did this on purpose!
As long as the three of them voluntarily charged into the battle, there would be no reason to make irresponsible remarks if there were casualties.
Sure enough, before Huang Yi finished speaking, Geng Qi immediately shouted: "I'm here to fight, I don't want to be Bima Wen!"
Geng Dalai pulled Geng Qi and said, "Listen to the second option!"
"The second option is of course to follow me and rush over. After killing a few, the Jin army will retreat immediately. Remember, you are not allowed to harvest the heads, and you must evacuate as quickly as possible!"
Geng Zhanghua had been observing the Houjin Army, and now he had a clear view of the entire team.
He had been thinking about how to fight in order to escape unscathed. Hearing this, he smiled knowingly and said:
"You should be planning to lead us to intercept and kill the rear Jin troops at the end of the team!"
"Haha, it's different to be educated. It's easy to understand! How about it? Are you confident?"
At this time, the Hou Jin Army's team was at the foot of the mountain, not too far from this observation point, and the neighing of horses and the mooing of cattle could be heard.
Geng Zhanghua had basically counted the armored soldiers of the Hou Jin Army, and found that there were only more than a hundred, and there were less than a hundred men and horses who were probably not regular troops.
All in all, that team looks like a lot of people, but the quality is actually not that good!
He said: "That post-Jin army is probably not elite. They will be unlucky if they encounter us!"
Geng Da also looked at it carefully and said: "The team transporting supplies and materials should be heavy troops, and they must have the worst combat effectiveness."
"No matter how powerful they are, we will kill them in one strike and we will never stop fighting. You must remember that time is running out, don't be in a hurry to behead them!"
Geng Zhanghua nodded and said: "Understand, the most taboo thing in fighting this kind of battle is to be entangled by the enemy's reinforcements, so we must race against time!"
Seeing that Geng Zhanghua's words were clear and logical, Huang Yi praised him: "Young Master Geng is great! This insight is enough to serve as the chief military officer of a town!"
"It's an award, it's an award, I don't deserve it!"
Huang Yi said to Geng Da and Geng Qi: "You two must protect Mr. Geng. After a few years of experience, he really has the possibility of becoming the chief military officer of a town!"
Geng laughed and said: "Don't worry, sir, as long as we both have breath, we will never let the young master get hurt at all!"
Geng Zhanghua said proudly: "You kill the enemy with your heart, I am skilled in bow and horse, I don't need your protection!"
Geng Da and Geng Qi looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.
Two thousand and hundreds of people, more than a thousand cattle and horses, and hundreds of carts loaded with supplies and grains, stretched for several miles, were managed by only one or two hundred slaves, and there was a serious shortage of manpower.
Kamuge couldn't send out sentries to investigate within a few miles, so he simply didn't send any and just took some twenty armored men to the front.
Behind them, two or three armored men, Yu Ding, and traitor bannermen were seen every ten steps behind them, wielding whips and beating the Han people who were slow to move away with the back of their swords.
The injured Choctaw was in the middle of the team with a dozen armored men. At the end of the team was a senior old man with a vest leading seven or eight armored men, plus Yu Ding and a dozen Han flag-bearers.
There is a reason why the Hou Jin Army was so careless.
Because they had left the border wall, they had theoretically reached the territory of their ally Karaqin.
The vast majority of the dozens of tribes belonging to Haraqin also followed the Hou Jin army to burn, kill and loot in the pass. It is impossible for any tribe to get mad and come to attack the transport team of the Jin Kingdom.
Therefore, the focus of the Jin army's prevention after Kamuge, Chuoktuo, etc. is not the unknown on the road, but the young and middle-aged Han people in the team.
They knew that these Han people were not honest when they were first captured and always wanted to resist and escape.
But after forcing them to be slaves for a few years, these people will become honest and behave like dogs wagging their tails begging for mercy.
Hou Jin grabbed a vast land, but because there were not many people to cultivate it, tens of millions of acres were left uncultivated.
There has been a food shortage in Liaodong. During the Tianqi period, when food was the most expensive, one stone of wheat cost ten taels of silver.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Yuan Chonghuan, who had great ambition but was short-sighted and had a weak hand. He was not a traitor but a traitor, came to power, and the food crisis of the Jiannu slaves took a turn for the better.
The Han people were good at farming, so Jiannu spared no effort to plunder the Han people and bring them back to Liaodong.
Since leaving the border wall, unless the Han people are really unable to walk, Kamuge, Chokoto, etc. have basically refused to kill them.
The more "Aha" Han slaves call them, the more food they produce after autumn.
Moreover, after walking for more than a month, a lot of food has been consumed, and the cost has been paid. It is not worthwhile to continue killing indiscriminately.
The Hou Jin Army's load became lighter and lighter as they traveled. It is expected that when they reach Liaodong, they will not have much surplus in food and fodder.
There is no need to worry that the many Aha who have just arrived in Liaodong will aggravate the food crisis.
Jiannu had robbed too much real money and had already ordered a large amount of grain from traitorous Shanxi merchants. The first batch of grain would be delivered in spring.
Stealing the Ming Dynasty's wealth and population, consuming the Ming Dynasty's food, this is one of the reasons why the slaves became stronger and stronger as they fought.
…
The Art of War says: When returning to the army, do not hide, and do not pursue the poor enemy.
Huang Yi doesn't care about this.
This is just a group of bandits returning home, not a returnee.
Moreover, what Huang Yi has learned since childhood is that it is better to chase the poor bandits with the remaining courage. What he has learned is that when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, and when the enemy retreats, we pursue.
Kamuge and Chuoktuo have been safe and sound since they set out on the road, and the Ming army did not dare to approach them at all.
After leaving Da'ankou, they felt even more relaxed. They were already looking forward to what it would be like for their wife, children, and children to see the gold and silver treasures, grain, livestock, and Aha after returning home.
Little do they know that they have been stared at by thirty-nine pairs of eyes, and the next moment they will be extremely happy and miserable!
