"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Wu Ya replied accordingly.
"You can thank me again after your people join the Ming Dynasty. Of course, I am not just for you, but also for the Ming Dynasty. If the Turgut people there can join the Ming Dynasty, I, the Ming Dynasty, will have a ready population in the Volga River. ! It will naturally be easier to destroy the Rakshasa Kingdom in the future."
Not long after Zhu Cican said that, a group of Rakshasa sentries appeared in front.
Zhu Cican raised his cavalry gun.
The rifled guns of the Ming Dynasty have been popularized for many years, and naturally they were also equipped with rifles for cavalry, which were later called carbines.
The opponent's Rakshasa soldiers also noticed the muskets in Zhu Cican's Ming army sentry riders.
"Their muskets are really special. Get out quickly. We don't have enough people to get into trouble with this!"
Among these Rakshasa soldiers, a junior officer named Ramovsky hurriedly turned his horse's head and hurriedly retreated to the return road.
Several other Rakshasa soldiers also immediately turned their horses and retreated back to the road.
"boom!"
But at this time, Zhu Cican had already fired first, and during the process of riding the horse, he aimed at Lamovsky.
However, after Zhu Cican fired, the Rakshasa officer named Ramovsky was fine.
Zhu Cican then fired another shot.
As a result, he still missed.
Zhu Cican couldn't help but feel sweat on his forehead: "I am still suitable for ambushes or hitting immobile targets!"
boom!
But at this time, Wuya, who had not fired yet, pulled the trigger.
Ramovsky, who had almost run out of the range of the Ming Dynasty's lance, fell off his horse.
Then, Wuya shot another Rakshasa soldier.
Zhu Cican felt so embarrassed that he couldn't help but shoot again.
This time he fired again.
Angrily, Zhu Cican immediately tightened the reins, dismounted, then took aim, and then hit a Rakshasa soldier.
"Your Highness, you can't be impatient!"
After Wu Ya hit the last Rakshasa soldier within range, she rode back and said something to Zhu Cican.
Zhu Cican got on his horse and replied: "Can I not be in a hurry? I am not in a hurry to perform well in front of you, let you obey my highness from now on, and then agree to return to the capital with my highness, then what if my father suddenly makes a decree?" Wouldn't it be too late for me to call me back to Beijing? Although I can use other methods, it is naturally better to make you sincerely convinced, right? "
Wuya pursed her lips and looked away, smiling lightly.
"I used to lead the cavalry by using a small number of cavalry to lure the Rakshasa infantry out, and then use the ambush cavalry to gather and annihilate them. But when it comes to cavalry and shooting combat, it is indeed not as good as those of you who have been in border towns for a long time."
Zhu Cican said: "I have to find a few more Rakshasa Sentinel Riders to practice with!"
"Okay! My subordinates will practice with His Highness!"
Wuya became more interested. After saying something with a smile, she turned the horse's head and reloaded the gun with a flick of her cloak.
"Thanks!"
Zhu Cican replied with a smile, reloaded his lance, put it on his shoulder, and together with Wu Ya, he rode towards the sunset and shouted loudly: "The hunting begins!"
For a while.
On the endless prairie, gunshots rang out one after another.
A large number of Rakshasa soldiers with outdated individual equipment fell dead on the grassland.
Zhou Yuji even ordered these killed Rakshasa sentries to be mounted on owl heads, and then built a temple along the Irtysh River to anger Alezolo.
And Arezzolo also learned about this situation: "What, our sentries were killed in large numbers on the road? And they were built into towers?!"
"This was called Jingguan in the Ming Dynasty. It was a way of humiliating the enemy and a way of promoting one's own national prestige. They also used this method when they destroyed the Donglu. They called it a bright landscape."
Although Ye Chuchun is nearly fifty years old, he did not choose to transfer to other positions in the Jinyiwei, but still likes to be an agent. Therefore, he had previously penetrated into the Chahar Department through Feng Quan, and now he is still taken by Burni, and even became He became an advisor to Duke Alezzo of Rakshasa Kingdom and helped Alezzoro understand the Ming Dynasty more carefully.
At this time, he was explaining to Arezzoro what Jingguan is.
After listening to Ye Chuchun's words, Arezzolo could already imagine what it would be like for his Rakshasa people to be beheaded and then cast into towers, enduring the sun and wind, and even being pecked by vultures.
Uh-huh!
Alezzoro therefore pulled out his knife and struck at the desk quickly, directly chopping off a large piece of the corner of the desk: "I don't like this way of showing off my power, very much!"
Ye Chuchun looked at Allezzoro, whose face was as red as a monkey's butt, and felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing that Allezzoro was already in a state of extreme anger.
"However, I am very interested in imitating them and building a Jingguan with their Ming people's heads. In that case, I will like it very much."
As Alezolo said, he asked Ye Chuchun and Burni: "What do you think?"
"nature!"
Burni and Ye Chuchun replied with a smile.
"Your Excellency, please see, the crops in the fields ahead have been harvested and the cellars have been dug. They are just now starting to clear the fields."
A general named Zokovarov under Arezzoro pointed to a large field in front of him where the roots of crops had been cut off and said.
"It seems that they did not clear the country before because they did not expect my army to conquer this area, so they had to retreat in a hurry. Now they are hurriedly clearing the country, which shows that they are ready to fight us in this area. The large number of sentry riders is also proof. There must be a large-scale Ming army nearby."
Burni said.
"We will also send more sentries! In addition, the army will set off tomorrow in advance and sweep to the Luntai area!"
Arezzoro therefore issued new orders.
At this time, the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty were in the Luntai area, working day and night to harvest food and carry out strategies to strengthen the wall and clear the country.
In the past, the government did not allow them to clear the country in order to paralyze the Rakshasa soldiers who invaded the Anxi Protectorate. But now that the government allows it, they are naturally very active.
Even the children stopped school to help carry the food away.
"Report! The Rakshasa soldiers are rapidly marching towards Luntai! Their sentries are also much more numerous than before, and their sentries have appeared in the direction of Hamiwei."
Zhou Yuji received the latest report here, and therefore said: "The Rakshasa soldiers have taken the bait and sent a report to Commander Sun. In addition, send a signal flare to let our sentries retreat towards Luntai. The decisive battle is coming!"
"yes!"
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As night fell, many flares containing magnesium powder and aluminum powder shot straight into the sky, bursting out with dazzling light, like fireworks, illuminating the area within two miles as if it were daytime.
This was the result of the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty's chemical industry, which made chemistry widely used in the imperial military.
But for the Rakshasa people, seeing the flare was still shocking.
"I didn't expect the Ming army's signal flare to be so bright. What do they mean?"
Arezzoro couldn't help but ask Ye Chuchun.
Ye Chuchun replied: "I don't know."
Then, Ye Chuchun pretended to analyze seriously: "Perhaps he is recruiting sentries to ride back! And prepare a large army to fight us?"
"You're right!"
Arezzoro nodded and said: "But I am very interested in their signal flares. Are there any Ming army sentries who were captured alive by us? Bring one or two up!"
"have!"
Zukovarov replied.
After a while, a Ming army sentry was brought up.
Ye Chuchun turned away.
But Allezzoro pulled Ye Chuchun over: "Ask him, why is this signal flare so bright?"
Ye Chuchun asked Alezolo to interrogate the Ming army sentry: "What is your name?"
Ye Chuchun asked because he wanted to remember the name of this person who actually had the same purpose as himself and met at this time.
However, the Ming army sentry rider did not tell Ye Chuchun his name, but directly spat at Ye Chuchun.
Burni, who had always been friendly with Ye Chuchun, otherwise he would not have brought Ye Chuchun with him, was furious. He pulled out his knife, pointed at the Ming army sentry and scolded: "Bastard!"
The Ming army sentry rider resolutely turned his face to the other side.
Ye Chuchun was naturally not angry because the Ming army sentry cavalry spat at him. He even felt a little lucky that the compatriot captured by these Rakshasa people was very hard-boned. In this case, Ming's secrets would undoubtedly be less exposed to him. The enemy knows something.
Therefore, Ye Chuchun calmly wiped his face with a silk handkerchief, pushed Burni with his hand, and then continued to ask the Ming army sentry: "Do you want to live?"
The Ming army sentry knight still just turned around and glared at him.
"Tell me, why is this signal flare so bright?"
Ye Chuchun asked at this time.
"have no idea!"
The Ming army sentry cavalry replied.
"really do not know?"
"really do not know!"
Ye Chuchun therefore turned back to Arezzoro and replied: "He doesn't know."
At this time, the Rakshasa general Zokovalov also handed a half-part lance to Alezolo: "The structure of their firearms is indeed very strange. Your Excellency, you might as well let the Han ask this question again." Ming army sentry cavalry about the structure of this firearm."
Therefore, Arezzoro took the half-standard Ming Army rifle from Zokovarov's hand, looked at it for a long time, and said: "The barrel is very strange, it is so thin."
"It's even more strange inside the barrel."
Zokovalov said, placing a candle lamp next to the barrel of the gun: "Your Excellency, please look inside the barrel of the gun."
Arezzoro took a look by candlelight and saw circles of threads in the barrel, so he couldn't help but think hard: "What is the principle? What are the uneven lines in the barrel used for?"
"I don't know! But these Ming people may know that their firearms can shoot very far. In addition, according to the descriptions of those we have fought with them, they do not use match ropes to operate firearms, and they load ammunition from the back. But how do they operate, and It’s still unclear what it looks like, but unfortunately, when this Ming countryman was captured alive by us, he had already smashed his gun, and the other half was lost somewhere.”
Zokovalov replied.
"Ask him immediately!"
Allezolo then gave orders.
Ye Chuchun continued to ask about this Ming army sentry.
The Ming army sentry cavalry still only said that he didn't know.
After a while, Alezolo lost interest. He took out the dagger himself and cut off the left big toe of the Ming army sentry rider. He said to Ye Chuchun, "Keep asking. If he doesn't tell you, , just cut off all his toes."
"ah!"
The Ming army sentry cavalry screamed in agony, and could not help but gnashed his teeth and cursed: "Kill or behead you! You hateful Rakshasa people, bandits from the west, I, the Ming Dynasty, will destroy you sooner or later!"
"Long live the great Ming Emperor! Long live the great Chinese nation! With my death, my country will be reborn!"
With that said, the Ming army sentry cavalry simply shouted slogans to divert the physical pain.
The Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty stationed in the Anxi Protectorate were all veterans who had passed the ideological education. They were naturally very aware and had a strong sense of honor, so they were unwilling to compromise.
What's more, the interests and honor of the soldiers of the Ming Empire are tied together. If they lose their honor, they will lose everything.
Therefore, even after being captured and tortured like this, this Ming army sentry rider gritted his teeth and held on.
I do not know how long it has been.
Arezzoro stopped the bloody dagger. The toughness of the Ming army sentries in front of him shocked him, and he began to realize that this Eastern Empire might not be as simple as he imagined, and might have something he didn't know. The greatness of.
"Report! A large number of Ming army infantry appears in front!"
At this time, a Rakshasa general next to Arezzoro reported.
Shortly after the general's report, Alezolo, Zuokovalov and others immediately left the tent, came outside, and looked into the distance with the telescope that had been spread to the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Suddenly, Arezzoro saw in the distance, like a long blood-red line, a large number of Ming infantry lined up in a forest, holding up spears and muskets.
"They're all infantry!"
Arezzoro replied.
"I guess the cavalry is behind."
Zokovalov replied.
Arezzoro nodded and said very excitedly: "The decisive battle is about to begin! It's time to let these eastern barbarians see the power of the Romanov dynasty's iron cavalry!"
Immediately, Alezzoro ordered: "Take all the captured Ming army sentries and cavalry to the Ming army formation, cut their throats and decapitate them to frighten their courage! Anyway, after defeating the main force of the Ming army, some of them will be captured." "
In this era, the Rakshasa Kingdom advocated massacre to deter forces that did not obey its rule.
And Arezzoro is no exception.
As a result, a large number of Ming army sentries who unfortunately fell into the hands of the Rakshasa soldiers were escorted to the front of the formation.
These Ming army sentries were tied to crosses and had to look up.
At that time, some Rakshasa soldiers used knives to slit the throats of these Ming army sentries in front of the Ming army, and kept cutting until their heads were cut off.
The blood of these Ming army sentry riders thus spilled into the blue sky, reflecting the red color of the Ming army formation in front.
Zhou Yuji saw this scene with a telescope, and because of this, his upper and lower teeth collided with each other, and he shouted loudly: "Has there been an attack order from the supervisor?!"
…
"Every department is in place!"
"According to the deployment, the Third Corps of the Huben Army has all arrived in the designated area between Zhaisangbo and the Altai Mountains, and has begun to attack Burqin!"
"The Sixth Corps of the Guards has reached the Hami front line."
After listening to the report of his subordinates joining the army, Sun Chuanting nodded: "Very good, pass on the order and the attack begins. This time we cannot let a Rakshasa escape!"
"yes!"
The Ming Dynasty had already begun to use telegraphs to transmit orders, so orders were transmitted very quickly.
Not long after, various ministries received orders to attack.
At this time, Arezzoro did not know all this, and still led his Rakshasa cavalry to march towards the Ming army triumphantly.
