In the morning, the sun was very strong.
Between the mountains, in an unknown valley.
Wu Nian led Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and soldiers to rest and recuperate here. Even though he is motionless here, the spies spread out like tentacles and can capture the slightest movement.
Among the dense vegetation around him, there were also hidden sentries set up by Wu Nian to ensure that he would not be surrounded. Because of this vigilance, Wu Nian, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and the armored soldiers were able to take off their armor and get some air.
Talk about it.
Armor is the most tangible trophy in this war.
It turned out that the proportion of Wu Nian's army wearing iron armor was about 30%. That is to say, among the more than two thousand soldiers, six to seven hundred are wearing iron armor.
After killing three thousand captains and slaughtering one or two thousand Mongolian soldiers. They failed to bring any weapons, but they took away every piece of armor.
There are currently one or two thousand armored soldiers in Wu Nian's army, and the rate of wearing armor is very, very high.
The original armor was also stolen by Wu Nian. In his weapons workshop, the armor manufacturing progress was very slow, and he could not squeeze out one piece of armor every day.
If he hadn't snatched so much armor, he wouldn't have been able to support the soldiers of seven thousand households. He even let these soldiers defend the castle and remain undefeated in the face of the fierce attack of thousands of households in the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
Without armor, it is absolutely impossible to defend.
Stealing people, grabbing armor, grabbing weapons, and grabbing food. Throughout Wu Nian's war career, it also had guerrilla characteristics.
Any serious guerrilla who specializes in producing weapons will have them all robbed.
Although the weather is hot, it would be like heaven if you could eat hot rice and drink a bowl of soup made from dried meat and wild vegetables instead of eating dry food.
Wu Nian sat in front of the iron pot, ate five large bowls of rice, made two bowls of hot soup, and ate ten bird eggs that the soldiers dug up from the tree. Only then was he 80% full. He held his belly comfortably and hummed.
Not a muscle on his body is wasted. Without the supplement of meat protein, no matter how strong a man is, he will become a soft-footed shrimp.
Mealtime is an everyday thing.
After all, I didn't sleep all night, and the weather was so hot. After Wu Nian had a full meal, he couldn't help but doze off, but there was no need to hold back.
Anyway, there are people on guard. They sleep during the day and travel at night to continue making trouble.
It is true that people are like iron rice and steel, but if you don't sleep, it will be useless no matter how much you eat.
Before going to bed, Wu Nian still had tasks to assign. He stretched out his right hand and said, "Map."
Immediately, a soldier untied the black package behind his back, took out a yellowed map, and handed it to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian reached out and took the map and spread it on the ground. He called Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng to come over and sit down around the map. Wu Nian pointed at the map and said with a smile: "In order to attack me, Yingqing Mansion and Guangyang Mansion, three Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties with ten thousand households, have gathered their troops. Three Han people with ten thousand households will guard the county."
"The spies have inquired about it, and there are no flaws. Defend well and guard it to the death. I am afraid that I, Wu Nian, will send out surprise troops and break their city like the last time I attacked the two county towns of Guangyang Prefecture."
"But my target is not these counties at all. It is the remaining hundreds of households scattered in the mountains."
"There are so many of these hundreds of houses hidden in the valley. Only the imperial court knows how many there are. Each castle has as few as one or two thousand people, and as many as two or three thousand people."
"The Mongolian people really couldn't control it, so they could only send some Mongolian veterans, and the Mongolian people took care of them and organized them. We defeated them, fought hundreds of miles, and brought the entire population with us. While fighting guerrilla warfare, we accumulated strength. When Jin Ruiyun, Jin Huanshan, and Wanyanxian can no longer bear it, they will abandon the front line of Beishan Fort and turn to besiege me."
"When they mobilize their troops, we will have another opportunity to take advantage of them."
"Concentrate superior forces and attack their weak points."
"Our first target is here, Zhang Guang Fort."
After Wu Nian finished speaking, he looked at Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng with smiling eyes and said: "Go to sleep. Except for those on guard and those in charge of spies, everyone else is sleeping. Recharge your batteries. We will set off at night. "
"Run through the night and capture Zhang Guang Fort before dawn."
"Yes." Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng cheered up, clasped their fists in a salute, and immediately turned around and left. Wu Nian stood up with a smile. After patting his butt, he came to the big tree where the horse was tied. He took out a black cloth and spread it on the ground. He fell into the shadow and fell asleep.
There are at least three soldiers beside him, who are on guard in case of any eventuality.
It was getting dark soon. The soldiers who had replenished their sleep began to cook rice. Before dinner started, Wu Nian was woken up.
After eating until I was 80% full, I became the breadwinner. Wu Nian put on his armor and mounted his horse. Wang Gui led his troops in front, and Zhang Sheng led his troops in the rear.
Wu Nian rode in the center, and the large group of people, led by a guide who was familiar with the road and guided by the starlight, took the mountain path and headed for the target Zhangguang Fort.
The soldiers wore iron armor, carried rice grains and iron pots, and climbed over the mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground.
They are all mountain men, so they have an advantage in this regard.
...........
Zhang Guangbao.
This is a castle that is almost printed in the same mold as Beishan Castle, Chengshan Castle, and Tiancheng Castle. It is located among deep mountains and old forests, standing on a small plain.
But it is different from the original Beishan Fort.
The Meng Yuan people who are responsible for managing this place are not people who eat nothing. They organized the strong men in the castle, briefly repaired the city walls, and trained the soldiers.
At present, Zhangguang Fort has a population of more than 3,000 people.
There was a force of two centurions.
The Mongolians served as officers, and the strong men in Zhangguang Fort served as soldiers.
The equipment is average, only officers have armor, and the soldiers only wear simple leather armor made of leather.
But the training was very good. The Mongolian people are not used to the Han people, and their training is very strict.
Sounds good.
Just like the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian people who went south, they seldom committed rape, rape, humiliation, and plunder, and treated the Han people well. Call the Han people.
[Natives].
But a second-class citizen is a second-class citizen. These Mongolian people were sent to remote mountains and remote areas. Can the court really control them?
The Meng Yuan people were domineering and did a lot of bullying of men and women.
afternoon.
The sun was shining down, and hard-working people were working on the farmland outside the city, pulling out weeds and cleaning up pests. At a glance, there was no girl or young woman.
In the past, officials were domineering and did not regard soldiers as human beings.
But officials at least have some rules. These Mongolian people don't follow the rules at all. They will rob any girl they see from any house.
Even young women are not spared.
The bloody man was killed. The heads were still hung at the city gate for public display, and the Mongolian people called them "rebels."
The cowardly man could not stand upright as he watched his wife and daughter being raped by the Meng Yuan people.
Not only could I not straighten my back, but I also had to smile.
There was no joy or laughter in this vast castle, only lifelessness.
When will this day end?
