Chapter 216: Grassland 1

Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem called "Entering to the Frontier", which read: The bicycle wanted to ask about the border, but the country passed by Juyan. The vanguard went out of the Han border, and the return geese entered the Hutian. The desert was lonely smoke and the long river was setting sun. The marquis and cavalry met at Xiaoguan, and they were all protected by Yanran.

It describes a scenery outside the border.

The Yuefu "Chi Le Song" in the Northern Dynasty also reads: Chi Le River is at the foot of Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep.

A beautiful grassland scene described.

Now Jiang Lang is sincerely experiencing the scene described in this well-known Yuefu song.

Since he decided to go to the grassland and give Watana a little surprise, Jiang Lang ordered the soldiers to bring enough food and burned the entire granary with fire. After two hours, the Watana army that arrived only saw the granary that was still blazing with smoke and the dead bodies in slow land, but could not see any Ming army. Finally, when counting the number of people, he found that five hundred archers were basically wiped out, and only more than two hundred were left in the granary ambushed. When cleaning up the bodies, he found that nearly a hundred of them were assassinated. As for that

One thousand cavalrymen killed nearly 600 people, and more than 200 people died in their own traps and bows. Such a disastrous defeat accidentally slapped Watsai loudly in the face. He was angry and adjusted tens of thousands of people to search the jungle. He wanted to find Jiang Lang and others, but he did not expect that Jiang Lang and others would go deeper. After becoming Sun Wukong, he ran into Watsai's stomach. Watsai was still trying hard to find traces of Jiang Lang and others, but how could it be so easy to find in the vast mountains, let alone Jiang Lang and others.

“So beautiful!”

Jiang Lang sincerely exclaimed that facing the grassland is like facing the sea, his whole heart feels as open as entering the grassland, not to mention that the gentle breeze brings the fragrance of the forage grass.

"It's really good!"

General Liao also exclaimed, and then the horse whip kept the vast grassland, saying, "If my Ming Dynasty had such a grassland, then our cavalry would be able to go further like the army of the Yuan Dynasty!"

Although the Yuan Dynasty did not exist for a long time, it has to be admitted that the fierceness of the Yuan Dynasty's cavalry also reached the largest territory in history during their rule.

What the Ming Dynasty lacked was war horses, so General Liao felt so moved.

The soil and water nourish the other people, which is the rich resources of the grassland that nurture countless men on the grassland.

Jiang Lang smiled slightly when he heard this, looked around, and then said, "One day, this grassland will become a part of the territory of our China!"

Jiang Lang did not use the Ming Dynasty here, because history has proved that this place will become an inseparable part of China, but he did not use the Chinese words. After all, that happened hundreds of years later, but adopted the Chinese words.

General Liao did not pay attention to Daojianglang's words, and laughed and said, "Yes, one day, this will be the world of my Ming Dynasty!"

"The world of Ming Dynasty?"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Since Emperor Yongle, the Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty has never stepped into this vast prairie again. On the contrary, it was the Iron Cavalry of a tribe of this prairie that conquered the river of the Ming Dynasty. Their name was the Qing Dynasty and the first emperor to enter the pass was Shunzhi.

After the two of them calmed down, General Liao asked: "We will kill to their imperial city all the way?"

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "No, we have few people. If we attacked all the way, the other party would definitely notice it. After all, this is someone else's place. If they dispatched a large army to encircle us, then our situation would be bad and we would not be able to play the role of a surprise soldier. According to my opinion, we rest during the day and act at night, sneak into their imperial city and make a mess. When they report it, we have already fled. We are also cavalrymen, and it is very difficult to find us in the vast grassland!"

General Liao nodded and said, "Then our supplies?"

"Fight to fight!"

Jiang Lang slowly said these words and then said, "This is the most popular method for tile thorns. We don't need to be careful of using them. And as of the current situation, there is no need to worry about horses' food. The most unabashed grassland is forage. We are well prepared now, so we don't have to worry about the early stage. We will attack several small tribes later and seize their food!"

General Liao nodded. Although it was not very planted on the grassland as a crop, there were things in the homes of these herdsmen. An ordinary tribe was enough to support the consumption of several days. Although this was not a good strategy to raise the war, for this more than 2,000 cavalry, which was the best way to go. Moreover, the grassland was vast and sparsely populated. After looting a tribe, they would have disappeared into the vast grassland when their reinforcements arrived.

So he laughed and said, "In this way, we can chuckle him in the thorns and destroy their majesty. Who said that they are the only ones to beat us? We can also teach them a good lesson! Even if we die in the battlefield, we will breathe a bird's breath, and there will be no regrets!"

After saying that, he turned his head and shouted at the soldiers behind him, "Let's go, let the Wasai see the majesty of our Ming Dynasty!"

"kill……!"

The thousands of soldiers behind suddenly roared. Although General Liao's cavalry lost some manpower in the battle of the granary, during that battle, the remaining soldiers regained their confidence.

As for Jiang Lang's people, they did not reflect at all, because the long-term battle had made them calm and calm in their faces anything, not to mention that Jiang Lang is now speaking.

Jiang Lang just smiled slightly as he heard the words of the soldiers behind him. It was actually a taboo for military strategists, but because of this taboo for military strategists, if it is used well, it will have unexpected results.

After a brief rest, Jiang Lang rushed north and rushed directly to the center of the grassland. They were all careful along the way, hiding out at night, trying to avoid contact with the thorn people. After about seven or eight days of travel, the food was almost used up, so Jiang Lang and others decided to start looking for a tribe to replenish the food, but the way to supplement the food was definitely not to spend money to buy it.

Without much effort, Qian Zhengbang and others came to the news later. There was a tribe with nearly a thousand people in front, mainly elderly people, women and children, and few strong men. However, this is not surprising. The thorns were using troops against the Ming Dynasty. For the thorns who lacked men, basically most of the men were transferred to the battlefield, leaving only the women and children who were guarding the house. Of course, they did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would have such an army that would go deep into the depths of the grassland alone.

After listening to the information brought back by the spies, Jiang Lang turned his head and looked at General Liao and said, "General Liao, what do you think?"

General Liao pondered for a while and said, "The tribe with a scale of more than a thousand people will have a lot of food stored, which is enough to support us for a while. You might as well start on this tribe!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "That's it, but we have to give the soldiers an order. Our purpose is not to kill people, but to replenish food. There must be resistance from this tribe of thousands of people, but it's best not to hurt anyone."

General Liao was a little confused and said strangely: "This thorn man does not regard our Ming people as human beings. Why do we have to show mercy? And if we let them go, wouldn't we be able to report to them? Then wouldn't we be very dangerous?"

Jiang Lang shook his head slightly and said, "There are a large number of elite soldiers in this thorn now. If someone reports it in time, it is difficult to send an adequate team to chase us. Moreover, if we take their horses away when we leave, it will not be so easy for them to report the news. If we can contact the outside world, we don't know when it will take us. At that time, we might have achieved our goal long ago. If we leave the grassland, they will not have time to chase us."

Speaking of this, Jiang Lang sighed slightly and said, "Whether these two countries were fighting, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Watthorn, the people were the most injured. Although the atrocities of Watthorn in our Ming Dynasty were deeply hated, we cannot learn from them too, and how can we bear to attack those women and children?"

General Liao couldn't help but remain silent. It's a pity that Watshu's approach was very abominable. He was not kind to the people of the Ming Dynasty who occupied the area, but he really had to attack the women and children of Watshu. General Liao was indeed a little unable to do anything.

"Forget it!"

General Liao sighed: "Tashi is a jackal, and we don't need to learn from them too!"

After saying that, he ordered loudly: "We will collect food later. No one shall harm those people. Those who violate the order shall be killed!"
