The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1311

[1311. Chapter 1247 Battle]

The mighty cavalry has already set off.

Nai Rentai and Zhang Yong each led a small team as the vanguard to spy first.

Each man rode three horses.

Although the Mongolian horse’s explosive power is not enough, it is better at enduring hardships and standing hard work.

The climate in Mobei, especially in the depths of Mobei, is extremely cruel.

And these horses, after thousands of years of evolution, are used to this.

The Tatars and Jurchens who accompanied him were all carefully selected. They seemed not to be afraid of the cold. Even so, they were still wrapped in thick leather coats and wore warm wool underneath.

When the sweaters were distributed, many Mongolians and Jurchens cried.

After wearing a rough leather coat for a lifetime, some people may wear a leather coat for a lifetime and join the Xingfu Group. This group not only distributes salt, tea, and horses, but also provides new clothes to wear.

Not only that, each of them also carried a knife. This knife was made of fine steel, which was completely different from their iron knots. Even the former Mongolian and Jurchen nobles might not be able to own such a knife.

But now, it’s as if they don’t need any money, and everyone has a handle.

In addition, there are bullet bags, specially used to load gunpowder and revolvers, two per person, pinned to the waist.

Along the way, they need to practice the use of short guns.

This thing is so simple. Although it takes a lot of time to load gunpowder and bullets, it can be fired six times at a time. It is still very enjoyable to shoot out.

More than a hundred students from the Military Academy were incorporated into the team, teaching their companions how to charge the powder and how to use it in combat. These are the experiences accumulated by the students of the Military Academy after repeated practice in Xishan. .

There are three horses. In addition to one camel carrying rations and supplies, two horses are specially used for transportation.

The further north you go, the colder it becomes. Sometimes it snows heavily for a day or two at a time.

But these Tatars and Jurchens, who had long been accustomed to the severe cold, didn’t care about it.

Wang Shouren had suffered all kinds of hardships and was very strong. In addition to leading the team along the way, he also had to draw maps and think about the upcoming battle.

Of course, these are not necessary. What is necessary is to formulate a suitable strategy.

Only Xiao Jing was shivering from the cold. When he got off his horse to rest at noon, Xiao Jing turned to a corner to urinate. Immediately, more than a dozen eyes hid behind the cedar not far away and watched curiously.

Whether they are Han Chinese, Jurchens or Tatars, human beings are also full of curiosity.

Then, Xiao Jing screamed.

Behind the cedar, a Tatar muttered excitedly: “I just said, it’s squatting, it’s squatting.”

Hearing the scream, Wang Shouren came in a hurry.

Those who hid behind the cedars were all frightened.

They are not afraid of dead eunuchs like Xiao Jing.

For them, neither the eunuch Bingbi nor the factory owner of Dongchang is the slightest deterrent.

But they were afraid of Wang Shouren. When they saw Wang Shouren, they were like mice seeing a cat.

I thought Xiao Jing was going to file a complaint, but Xiao Jing howled and cried: “What the hell is this place? What the hell is this place? We just peed. When the urine came out, it froze into popsicles. Oh my God.” , this damn weather, this damn place…”

Xiao Jing couldn’t accept it after being cut and enduring such pain.

People deserve to suffer, but Xiao Jing actually cried when he thought of this. He had his penis cut off, so he still had to suffer this.

Wang Shouren: “…”

He patted Xiao Jing’s shoulder: “Go and have a few sips of wine to warm yourself up.”

“Bo’an.” Xiao Jing actually felt grateful to Wang Shouren: “You were so kind to us. In the past… Did I misunderstand you?”

“No misunderstanding.” Wang Shouren said, “I have never been a pleasant person.”

Xiao Jing was actually a little touched.

In any case, in this lonely desert, only Wang Shouren took him as an eunuch seriously.

At least he and Wang Shouren could still communicate.

Those damn Tatars and barbarians don’t know any shit.

He sighed, stepped on the snow, leaving footprints, breathing white air from his mouth, because the tears just flowed down his cheeks, which were prickly and covered with a layer of frost.

He sighed: “In this life, we never thought that we would suffer such a crime, but… so what, it was us who failed to serve the emperor well. The former emperor wanted to be a conscientious emperor, but he did It’s not bad, but we… have only a few abilities, but we can serve him well. But now, His Majesty’s heart has changed. He wants to have the same achievements as Emperor Qin and Han Wu, but we… still have that little ability, and we can’t wait. No wonder, His Majesty treats us…”

At this point, he cheered up: “We also need to be more capable. When we meet the Russians, don’t stop us, we will smash their heads.”

Wang Shouren said: “I won’t stop.”

Xiao Jing: “…”

Xiao Jing suddenly felt bored. Wang Bo’an is a person who can always talk to death.

No wonder he’s not likeable.

I had two sips of wine and some dry food.

Continue on your way.

Through maps and compasses, they have penetrated thousands of miles to the extreme north of the desert.

The Mongolians have left their footprints here and are no strangers to this place.

They found some scattered small tribes.

Most of these small tribes are “savages”. In this cold environment, they only need a piece of dried meat and a little salt to make them smile honestly and treat the large team with knives politely. .

After asking for the specific location… and at this time… they finally knew the specific location of their enemy.

“Send people out to attract the Russians.”

The Russians built a fortress at the southern foot of the Ural Mountains.

Obviously… they regard this fortress as an outpost for their eastward expansion.

After repeatedly defeating the Mongolian tribes in Siberia, they not only escaped the control of the Mongols, but also became stronger and stronger after decades of conquest.

Perhaps because they were enslaved by the Mongols, they also have the genes of the Mongols’ continuous development in their bones.

This fortress would serve as a springboard for the march to the east.

Wang Shouren was very calm.

He doesn’t like sieges.

Because of the hasty arrival this time, the entire Mongol and Jurchen coalition forces simply did not have enough heavy weapons to destroy the city. In this case, they could only seek a decisive battle.

“As long as they discover us, they will definitely leave the castle for a decisive battle.” Wang Shouren said firmly: “After all, in their eyes, the Mongols are no longer a threat. We can take advantage of this…”

Wang Shouren pointed at the pieces. In the vast white birch forest, he said to Nai Rentai and others: “Right here… Although the forest here is sparse, it is not suitable for their square formation. It is best to fight here. The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated. They defeated us two months ago, and now… they will not be cautious…”

“Send the order.”

In the sky, snowflakes were flying, and in the strong wind, Wang Shouren shouted: “Everyone should rest immediately. Stay tuned! “

…

The weather is frighteningly cold.

A dozen Rus people laughed wildly, and they pushed a white bear to the ground.

The innocent white bear struggled desperately on the ground, and then the drunken Russian held up the wine bottle, opened the cork, and poured the wine in the bottle into the white bear’s mouth.

The white bear gasped and gasped. Although it had sharp teeth and thick paws, it seemed that it did not dare to show off its cruelty. Instead, it looked like a resigned child, and it just whined and whined aggrievedly.

It was covered in scars and had obviously been beaten many times, so much of its animal nature was gone, allowing these Russians to bully it.

Several bottles of wine were poured into the white bear’s belly, and the white bear whined even more loudly.

The Russian who drank wine laughed wildly, raised the remaining wine in the bottle, and poured it into his mouth.

This is an unfinished castle.

So much so that the officers and soldiers had no choice but to set up tents in the nearby forest.

It was freezing cold, so someone set up an iron pot on the ground, lit fire oil to heat the water in the pot, and someone sat in the big pot and took a bath naked.

The noble held a whip in his hand and dispersed a group of playful soldiers, and then returned to the warm large counting room.

And here, a well-dressed nobleman wearing a Swedish military uniform, standing tall and tall, had one hand on his waist, listening to the report.

The Rus’ Kingdom straddles China and the West. Because of this, they are as barbaric as the Mongols, but at the same time, they also absorb traditions from the West.

This beautiful costume comes from the hands of Swedish craftsmen.

After the death of Ivan III of Rus, Basil III succeeded to the throne. This grand duke was the son of the princess of the Byzantine Empire.

Therefore, Basil IV was gradually no longer satisfied with the title of ruler of all Russia, and hoped to become emperor in the name of the ruler of the East through his identity as emperor of the Byzantine Empire.

The young nobleman was Andrei, a close minister of Vasily IV.

Andrei came to inspect this place on behalf of the Grand Duke. The Mongols east of the Ural Mountains will still be a serious problem for the Russians sooner or later in the future. Therefore, seizing the vast lands in the East and spreading the influence of Orthodoxy to the East in the name of the guardian of Orthodoxy was the mission entrusted to Andrei by the Grand Duke.

This castle has been under construction for half a year. In order to maintain the construction, there is also a group of soldiers and horses from the southeast of the Ural Mountains. The supplies brought from the west are amazing, but it is all worth it. Although the weather here is bad, as long as it is built With the castle built, the Rus Kingdom will be able to go deeper into the east in the future.

Andre expressed his dissatisfaction with the progress of the project at this time.

Other nobles accompanying them said that this was because they had been attacked by the Mongols a few days ago.

But at this moment, someone came in a hurry: “We found Mongolians, there are thousands of them.”

All of a sudden, everyone cheered up.

Andre opened his eyes, and he became excited subconsciously: “What are they here for?”

“Fight.”

…

Chapter 3 is here, and so on.
