Chapter 43 The medicine of spring, you are there!
Zhou Shixiong immediately recalled Fang Zhenghua and five personal soldiers, and asked them to describe in detail the situation on the east side of Jiannu camp to supplement information for tonight's sneak attack. "There is no way to go in the north, the south is spacious, but it is difficult to return to the city. It seems that you can only use this trick to cross the river." Zhou Shixiong thought for a long time, but he could not find a safe route to transport a large number of war horses.
"Mr. Zhou, the frozen horses cannot get water." Heiyunlong has been grazing since he was a child and knows a lot about relevant common sense.
"Is there a place suitable for building a pontoon bridge?" Zhou Shixiong's idea was very creative. The question was that the water surface of Xianghe River was wide and the project to build a pontoon bridge was so large. How could it be done overnight? Fang Zhenghua and Heiyunlong were not optimistic about this idea.
After discussing for a long time, Man Gui became angry, "I can't burn it to death, but I can't steal it, but the medicine can die!" Zhou Shixiong thought that I have a lot of ways to use medicine, but how can I kill such a precious resource as a war horse? I will not be willing to say anything without trying it.
"Yu Jiaao, please come here." Zhou Shixiong felt that there should be a large number of ships on both sides of the Xiang River. As long as enough ships are requisitioned, there is still hope to build a floating bridge.
The county magistrate arrived soon, "County Master, I want to requisition 500 civilian ships. I wonder if there are so many ships in Xianghe County?" Zhou Shixiong had no time to explain to him why he wanted a ship, and only made quantity requirements and tried his luck.
"Mr. I wonder if the adults have any requirements for the size of the ship. If there is no limit, the county can make up this number." The county magistrate's answer made Zhou Shixiong feel half cold. He planned to splice two ships into a catamaran, and then connect a large number of catamarans to form a pontoon bridge. If the size of the ships is different, this plan may be stranded.
"Take me to see." Zhou Shixiong asked the county magistrate to be the guide and took him to the North Canal Wharf outside the west city for on-site inspection. After the inspection, Zhou Shixiong was out of mood. There were indeed many ships in Xianghe County, but there were a large number of ships that Zhou Shixiong could not move. Even the imperial envoy would not do, because those ships were from the Cao Gang.
Walking up the Dongcheng Gate Tower, Zhou Shixiong was worried when he looked at Jiannu's camp. It was a good thing to stop Jiannu from being a big shot, but it was a bad thing for him to steal horses. Moreover, the horse could not withstand the water temperature in winter, which once again increased the difficulty of stealing horses. Wait, temperature! I can't let the water heat up, it can make the horse warm! As long as the war horse adapts to the water temperature, will it solve the problem of cramps?
In terms of biological nature, horses are like humans. The body temperature will rise when exercising. Zhou Shixiong cannot let the war horses in the horse circle use exercise to increase their body temperature, but he has another way to create the same effect. Spring medicine!
When he thought of it, he went to do it. Zhou Shixiong asked the county magistrate to find a large number of herbs and processed them into medicine soup according to his requirements. Then he used a nanorobot to extract pheromones from the urine of a female war horse and added them to the medicine soup. Finally, he made a batch of spray drums, and the entire preparation was officially completed.
After entering the gang, Zhou Shixiong summoned the generals to meet again. In order to safely steal the Jiannu war horse, Zhou Shixiong prepared to play a big game. "Sun Zhaolian, you just need to strangle the official road to death. No matter what the Jiannu camp is like, you are not allowed to leave the roadblock." Sun Zushou's life is very simple but very important. Zhou Shixiong specially called him back and said a few words.
Next is the highlight of tonight. "General Man, you lead two thousand cavalry to attack Jiannu and create fighter jets for the sneak attack troops." Zhou Shixiong believed that Man Gui could do this well, but he agreed to launch an attack after the second update, and he would ignore the specific tactics.
Fang Zhenghua and Heiyunlong looked at Zhou Shixiong, both of them were very excited. The most important sneak attack mission seemed to be theirs again. "General Black, Xiao Fang, I personally take you to steal the camp tonight. Do you have any confidence?"
Zhou Shixiong wanted to take action himself, but Man Gui, Heiyunlong and Fang Zhenghua opposed in unison, "You can't. Although Jiannu has already taken advantage of the bird in the cage, you must not take risks." "You can't make a move."
Zhou Shixiong ignored this series of opposition, closed his eyes to rest. After the three of them said they were tired, Zhou Shixiong asked slowly, "Who can complete the plan of stealing horses except for me?"
"Sir, for the sake of your safety, the officials would rather not be able to fight horses." Fang Zhenghua opposed the most resolutely. The other two generals measured the proportion of war horses and Zhou Shixiong in their hearts, and they had a great intention to make a choice.
Zhou Shixiong waved his hand to stop Fang Zhenghua and continued to persuade, "Xiao Fang, even if I am really a daughter-in-law, I cannot compare to the emperor's body. If Jiannu takes down Tongzhou and goes straight to the capital, I cannot ignore the emperor's safety for himself." Zhou Shixiong took out the big hat of Emperor Chongzhen, and no one dared to say much. Next, there was another round of bargaining. Zhou Shixiong just wanted to lead his personal troops to attack. Man Gui, Heiyunlong and Fang Zhenghua firmly opposed it. Finally, Zhou Shixiong compromised and agreed to bring all special operations teams as guards, and the generals nodded reluctantly.
At the second update, the war drums on the top of the city sounded normally. Neither the people in the city nor the Jiannu outside the city responded. The people were used to it, but the Jiannu was too tired. During the whole day, the Ming army did not launch any attacks, but the Later Jin army had to stand on the guard wall of the camp to defend. The Niulu and the flag lie of the Zhenglan Banner were extremely envious of the Zhengbai Banner who could sleep. Therefore, after dinner, they changed their defenses and slept in the small number of tents without hesitation. The sound of the war drums shook the sky and the earth did not even affect their breathing.
Dorgon and Duoduo looked at the underworld's flag-drunk who had been sleeping for a while. No matter how they looked, they felt something was wrong. After sleeping for a long time, the Ming army did not attack and harass them, so they should have had a good rest. But in fact, these flag-drunks yawned listlessly, almost like they had never slept, and some even fell asleep again while eating.
How did the great future regent Dorgon know that there is a strange state in this world called inverse jet lag, and these flag managers under his command are inverse jet lag. Dorgon originally planned to send all his subordinates out to patrol, but he really dared not take risks when he saw that his subordinates were asleep. If he fell asleep while patrolling, he would definitely fall off the horse, causing non-combat reductions.
"Duoduo, you lead Yala out to patrol the camp. I lead the black camp in the camp. You must be careful. The command of the Ming army is very comparable to that of the Ming army." Dorgon said yesterday that the army commander was very powerful, and Duoduo was not convinced. Now he was very convinced. He only hopes to compete with the Ming army commander on the battlefield and see how powerful the Ming army commander is in addition to conspiracy and tricks.
Not long after Duoduo led more than 600 to the camp, the gate of Xianghe City opened wide, and two thousand Ming cavalry rushed out and came straight towards the Houjin camp. This was no longer a sneak attack, because the Ming army raised a torch to form a fire dragon, which could be seen eight miles away. Dorgon immediately asked someone to find Duoduo, because he was afraid that Duoduo would challenge the two thousand Ming troops with six hundred cavalry.
The Ming army rushed to the camp and stopped with an arrow, and the crossbowmen began to fire rockets at the camp. Dorgon was panicked. If the Ming army was allowed to attack with rockets, the camp would definitely not be able to defend it. But he had too few troops in his hands. Who would guard the camp if all attacks? When Duoduo came back and told Dorgon about something, Dorgon was even more afraid to attack. He had no choice but to come to Manguertai's tent and talk to the fifth brother about the solution.
Mangurtai slept for a long time, and as soon as the Ming army left the city, Geshha reported the news. Of course he knew what the situation outside was. "Fourth brother, I don't need to say more about what the situation is like. I can only drive away the Ming army." Before Dorgon could speak, Mangurtai handed over the attack mission to him, and it was obvious that he wanted no one and nothing else!
Dorgon's eyes were red all the time, I didn't know if it was because of lack of sleep or was angry, but in short, I was very murderous. "Five Beile, I have been killing the enemy in the past few days. Should the Zhenglan Banner be in my position to enjoy the success of the Zhenglan Banner?" Dorgon knew that it was not the time to turn against him, but he had to turn against him. Just now, Duoduo led the Wayala out to patrol the camp, and when he came back, he found that more than a dozen people were missing. Duoduo was obviously not attacked by the Ming army. After asking, he realized that these people were all because of physical fatigue and could not control the horse and fell off the horse.
The subordinates were so weak that Dorgon dared not attack? He was unacceptable to Mangourtai's order. He did not want to die here, nor did he want to return to Tongzhou without any help. If all the troops in his hands were lost, Huang Taiji, the fourth brother, would definitely give him a good fruit.
Mangurtai also knew that it was necessary to force Dorgon to fight, but let him take his men to fight to the death Dorgon would definitely not agree. The two of them had a fierce debate about the proportion of troops sent, and suddenly heard a loud noise outside the horse neighing. Mangurtai was furious, "What happened outside!"
Goshha pulled the door curtain and replied tremblingly, "Go back to Wu Beile, the war horse is crazy!" Manguertai and Dorgon Teng stood up, rushed out of the tent and looked at the back camp.
Zhou Shixiong and Heiyunlong, Fang Zhenghua led a 400 special combat team to the back of the camp by wooden raft. Yu Jiaao, Li Xiaobin and Zhou Shixiong cleanly destroyed more than a dozen sentries in the back camp, and then went ashore. Zhou Shixiong entered the horse circle and quickly found the horse king of the group. This jujube horse was very beautiful. Zhou Shixiong chatted with the horse king and checked his body. He found that all the data of the jujube horse were very close to the Ahalt Jin horse, which is commonly known as the sweat-blooded BMW.
Zhou Shixiong was so happy that the sweat-blooded BMW was known as one of the oldest horse breeds in the world. After getting this horse, Zhou Shixiong was confident that he would cultivate a large number of sweat-blooded BMWs. It only takes a few years to have a cavalry team equipped with sweat-blooded BMWs. Just thinking about that scene, Zhou Shixiong was so beautiful that he drooled.
"Xiaohong, come with me, choose whatever you want, and you can choose whatever you want." Zhou Shixiong said all the temptation words for horses that he could think of. Xiaohong stared at him with his big eyes, and then arched the carrots in the germany with his mouth. Zhou Shixiong burst into tears, Damn, what kind of world is this? Every horse king is so realistic!
ps: My brother-in-law died on Qingming Festival. I am a little sad. I have to remember his mourning period every year, alas.
