Chapter 453 Tartar Arrives in Dengzhou City!
Chapter 453 The Tartars arrived in Dengzhou City!
Gao Hongtu said slowly: "What should we do?"
In Dongjiang Town, once Ruan Dacheng surrendered to the Tartars, the Dengzhou Navy naturally followed the Tartars. With the help of the Navy, the Tartars would appear continuously on the ground in Shandong. To be honest, it took more than a day or two to look forward to crossing the Hainan Islands to the south. Now, this opportunity finally appears, how could the Tartars not be ecstatic? You can think of it with your heels that once Ruan Dacheng surrenders, the Tartars would appear in Dengzhou City. Even now, the Tartars may appear in Dengzhou City.
The situation in Shandong suddenly changed drastically. Even Gao Hongtu had his own knowledge, it was difficult for him to fully think of a complete solution to deal with it. In Liaodong, the Ming army relied on strict barriers to block the progress of the Tatars and built countless military fortresses. However, there was no such fortress on the ground of Shandong. He subconsciously felt that it was impossible to count on the incense-smelling sect to block the Tatars' southward advance. The only one who could block the Tatars was Zhang Zhun.
"I will lead my army to Dengzhou City!"
Zhang Zhun said decisively.
He hopes to seize the front of the Tartars and control Dengzhou City.
"Lu Yidian!"
"Sun Jiming!"
"Huangxian!"
Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.
"arrive!"
The three of them hurried in.
"You three, please inform the three cavalry battalions and move quickly towards Zhaoyuan!"
Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.
"clear!"
The three of them turned around and went.
Afterwards, Zhang Zhun ordered that all the infantrymen of the Hu Ben Army be prepared for combat and wait for orders at any time. The troops stationed in Jiaozhou, Gaomi, and Lingshan Guards all moved closer to the direction of Laizhou City.
Zhang Zhun then set off for Zhaoyuan. He rode his horse and galloped all the way to Zhaoyuan. After waiting here for an hour, the soldiers of the Leopard Cavalry Camp arrived. Among the three cavalry camps, the Leopard Cavalry Camp stationed outside Laizhou City had the fastest arrival speed. The other Dragon Cavalry Camp and Tiger Cavalry Camp had to come from Pingduzhou, at least after three hours.
"Sir, are we going to attack Dengzhou City now?" Liu Jixiang, the commander of the Leopard Cavalry Camp, asked curiously. The team leader Feng Wei and others were also beside him.
"The Tartars may have appeared in Dengzhou City." Zhang Zhun said coldly.
"What? Tartars?" Liu Jixiang felt incredible.
"If you pass the order, you may have to fight the Tartars. Everyone should be mentally prepared. Pay attention to checking all your weapons to ensure they are in the best condition." Zhang Zhun said with a serious expression.
Liu Jixiang hurriedly sent an order.
When he heard that he was going to fight against the Tartars, the Leopard Cavalry Camp suddenly became excited. It was incredible that the Tartars actually came to Shandong. However, this was an order passed down by Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun said that there was Tartars in Dengzhou City, and that there were Tartars in Dengzhou City. After three months of training, the soldiers' combat ability was greatly improved and their confidence in themselves was greatly improved. They all swore that they must ask the Tartars to come and go.
"Walk!"
"Let's go to Dengzhou City first!"
Zhang Zhun took the Leopard Cavalry Camp and continued to travel east.
Along the way, we did not encounter the Ming army, nor did we encounter the troops of the Scented Fragrance Sect. Wherever we pass, we were deserted. Due to the continuous drought in Shandong and the long-term turmoil, the population of Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture are not large. Among them, Dengzhou Prefecture, which has frequent wars, has the smallest population. It seems that a county like Zhaoyuan may have a population of less than 50,000.
Zhaoyuan was originally a gold mine area of the Ming Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, the annual output of gold was more than 10,000 taels of gold. During the Wanli period, the court also sent a mining supervisor to garrison here. However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to frequent turmoil, these gold mines were closed. Occasionally, some gold mines could be seen, all local farmers, hoping to find gold from the turbid mud. However, due to technical reasons, this was basically impossible. It was just a beautiful dream.
After passing Zhaoyuan, there is Huang County. Huang County is the western gate of Dengzhou City, with outstanding people and powerful places. Xu Fu, a priest of the Qin Dynasty, and Taishi Ci, a powerful general of the Three Kingdoms period, were all from Huang County. In the past, there was always a Ming army stationed here, and there was a patrol department here to check the business trips. However, now it is impossible to see all of them. Even there are not many people, and it seems that they are hiding.
After passing Huang County, the roads gradually became flat and the population on both sides gradually increased. After all, this is the outer periphery of Dengzhou City and the most densely populated place in Dengzhou Prefecture. However, most of the land is still in a barren state. One reason why Zhang Zhun never wanted to take down Dengzhou Prefecture is that Dengzhou Prefecture is really deserted and to develop, a lot of money must be invested. He is not ready yet.
The people near Dengzhou City seemed to be numb about the arrival of the Hu Ben Army. Just looked up and looked at it for a few times, and they didn't feel it. They were indeed numb about the army. Ming army, rebels, rioters, civilian army, Tartars, Japanese pirates, regiment training, and incense sect... On this land of Dengzhou Prefecture, there were countless wars that had happened in the past few years. Most of the people fled, and those who continued to stay here were extremely nervous and had a look of tranquility.
Suddenly, a group of people in front were walking towards this side. They seemed to be chased by something, and hurriedly ran towards this side. They were in a messy and panic. After someone fell down, the people behind them didn't support them and ignored them and took a detour. They hurriedly looked like a dog that was stranded. Many people snatched each other and kept colliding together.
Liu Jixiang raised the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile, observed for a moment, frowned and said, "Sir, I am the one from the incense smelling sect!"
Zhang Zhun nodded.
He naturally saw it. These people had weapons on their hands, some were white coats, some were black coats, and some were gray coats. The styles of the coats were all unified, and there were various ghost paintings on them. They were the people of the Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of White.
The people from the Scented Sect rushed to the front of the Hu Ben Army and found that the road was blocked, so they had to stop helplessly. There was no conflict between them and the Hu Ben Army. However, they kept looking behind them, feeling very uneasy, as if there were monsters following their butts. As a result, they subconsciously rushed forward again.
Liu Jixiang shouted sternly: "Stop!"
A small leader came out from the incense sect and shouted from afar: "Are you the Hu Ben Army of Laizhou Prefecture? We are from the White Clothes Division of the Incense sect."
Liu Jixiang shouted, "What's going on?"
The little leader said anxiously: "The Tartars have been chasing them since then! You guys run away!"
Liu Jixiang frowned and said, "Are you sure it's a Tartar?"
The little leader said anxiously: "What do you say? They say that the Tartars have arrived in Dengzhou City. They say that the Tartars are powerful and they will kill them when they see them. No one is the enemy of the Tartars! If you continue to move forward, you will encounter the Tartars. You should hurry back. Otherwise, the Tartars will catch up."
Zhang Zhun asked in a deep voice: "How many people are there in Tartars?"
The little leader of the Scented Sect said he didn't know.
Zhang Zhun continued to ask, "How far is the Tartars chasing you?"
The little leader of the Scented Sect still said he didn't know.
Zhang Zhun frowned and waved his hand, letting the Leopard Cavalry camp make way for the road, allowing these people from the Smelling Sect to escape, and leading the army to continue moving forward. The people from the Smelling Sect didn't even know where the Tartars were, so they ran away desperately. It was really... the mob who had not received strict training, and after they were defeated, they were like this.
When the little leader of the Scented Sect passed by Zhang Zhun, he said with some concern: "Hey, if you go up like this, you will die! The Tartars are so cruel, you should go back! Your number is so small, you are not the opponent of the Tartars!"
Liu Jixiang shouted impatiently: "No ghast! Go quickly! I'm not afraid of Tartars!"
The scented the sacrificial scholars sneered and left in a hurry.
The Leopard Cavalry Camp continued to advance and encountered small groups of the fragrant smelling sect teams. They all retreated from the direction of Dengzhou City in a panic. Most of the people threw away their weapons, and a few of them had a knife in their hands. Liu Jixiang asked many people, saying that the Tartars were here. However, no one saw the Tartars with his own eyes. As for how many Tartars were, who was the slave chief, and where they were, they even asked three questions.
Liu Jixiang said helplessly: "Sir, the people who smell the incense sect seem to have completely collapsed."
Zhang Zhun nodded indifferently.
He could feel more and more that the Tartars really appeared in Dengzhou City. The collapse of the incense sect would not be caused by accident. Without the intervention of the Tartars, the incense sect would not have collapsed so much. The appearance of the Tartars in Dengzhou City was indeed so bad that they could not be broken.
In the evening, Zhang Zhun and his team were less than fifty miles away from Dengzhou City. Suddenly, a brigade of the scented sects appeared in front of them, and there seemed to be thousands of people. They also ran over in panic. Since it was dusk and the visibility was not very good, they thought that the enemy had cut off their backs and were immediately facing a great enemy. For safety reasons, the soldiers of the Leopard Cavalry Camp were of course on guard and were on guard.
The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and the atmosphere was very tense. Fortunately, someone from the team of the Winter Sorrow Sect rode out and shouted from afar: "Is Zhang Zhun's troops opposite?"
Zhang Zhun's expression moved and shouted loudly: "Dong Shuyan? Are you here? I am Zhang Zhun!"
It turned out that what was talking in the Scented Incense Sect was Dong Shuyan's voice.
Dong Shuyan heard Zhang Zhun's voice and hurriedly rode over. She was still dressed in a charming men's clothing, very handsome, with her eyes a little bit evil. She came straight to Zhang Zhun and asked in surprise and joy: "Zhang Zhun, it's really you! Why are you here? Do you also know that the Tartars have arrived in Dengzhou City?"
Zhang Zhun said slowly: "What's the situation in Dengzhou City? Are there really Tartars?"
