Chapter 252 Past

"Border Army of Liao Town?" Zhang Han's eyes showed a look of emotion, and he said, "They must have fled Liao Town after the Battle of Kaiyuan?"

"Yes, the adults are right."

"That's all?"

Yang Qiu smiled and said, "Of course, Ruoguang cannot disturb the master... One of these two guys is Zhou Daniu and the other is Cheng Fang. When they were in Sarhu, they set out from the Chenyang Central Defense. The coach was Du Song and the team officer was Yang Yi."

"Ahh?"

Zhang Han first made a move, and then laughed.

Yang Qiu also smiled and said, "I know Yang Yi this guy now. It was the guy whom I saved on Liaodong Road twice. When I heard that their team officer was Yang Yi, I later asked Liang Xing to inquire. It turned out that it was Yang Yi who was saved by the master. Since these two guys are his subordinates, I think the master may be interested in them, so I no longer torture them, so I rushed to meet him."

Zhang Han also wanted to make a plan in Liaodong. Now that Emperor Taichang had just died, Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne. Next, it seemed that Nuerhaci continued to attack Liaodong and Liaozhong and seized the two core important towns of Liaoyang and Shenyang. The Ming Dynasty had actually lost Liao Town, including Liaodong, Liaozhong and Liaonan, and Liaonan were all in the hands of Jurchens. Western Liao could not stop them. However, the Jurchens were weak at this time and could not maintain a long front and more full-time soldiers. The flag managers usually had to fish, hunt and farm, and only a few elite soldiers were full-time soldiers. This situation would take many years after Huang Taiji's business. It was not until the Battle of Daling River that the Jurchens could use the method of surrounding and siege to dismantle the Ming army's resistance based on the city. Before that, the Jurchens did not have much threat to the defense line of Liaoxi and Shanhaiguan. It was not until the second year of Chongzhen that Huang Taiji brought thousands of cavalry and flag managers responsible for logistics, plus thousands of Mongolians, a total of 20,000 people broke through the border. At that time, the Jurchens had the ability to make long-distance attacks, but the scale of troops was also very small. After getting a great advantage, they repeatedly broke through the border and entered the pass, plundered the population and wealth, and their national strength grew rapidly. Only then did they threaten the entire northern border of the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhang Han didn't make a layout and just waited, it would take at least ten years to arrive in Xuanda area when Huang Taiji entered the pass for the second time. It might be too late at that time.

Yang Yi is a useful chess piece. If used properly, Zhang Han can be asked to intervene in the situation in Liaodong in advance. There is also a more important chess piece that can also be used.

If the world is a game of chess, Zhang Han could only see others making moves before, but now he can also intervene in the game.

...

Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang were locked in the same room. They felt very uncomfortable. The room was bare and the walls were white, which made people feel very dazzling. In addition, the roof was too high, and there was no window around. Only a door was closed tightly. The two were sitting in a strange chair, with both feet and hands stuffed on a fixed board, and only holes were opened to make both feet and hands stretch out, and the whole person was fixed. It was difficult for them to twist their lower body slightly.

The people guarding them were also very gloomy. Everyone had the same temperament, and their eyes were full of viciousness. Many people's temperament reminded them of the people in the battle industry I saw in Shenyang and other places. However, these people were more vicious than those in the battle industry and had a much colder temperament.

They had no intention of speaking. This time they fell into the hands of these terrible and weird archers, and they all felt that they would not have a way out.

At this time, the two men knew that they were not against the Datong border army, but the archers recruited by the local inspection department. They were probably more miserable to the hands of these rural soldiers than to the hands of the border soldiers. The border soldiers were recruited from all over the country, and the archers of the village defended their hometowns and were even more cruel to them, the thieves who harmed the village. Now Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang were worried that they would not only be killed, but also die miserably.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, and both of them raised their heads nervously and stared at the door.

What caught their eyes was a young face. He was about twenty years old, his hair was neatly decorated, his face was also very clean, his figure was much taller than ordinary people, his robes were not luxurious, but they were tailored and there were no decorative objects. But they looked like a person who had been in the top position for a long time. Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang's knowledge in the past two years was no longer as nervous as they were back then.

Then Yang Qiu and a group of archers came in, each standing behind the young man who came in first.

"You two must answer well." Yang Qiu looked at the two unlucky people who were bound and said: "This is your only chance. If you say it wrong, you will think clearly about the consequences."

Zhang Han smiled and said, "You don't have to scare them. I think they are not evil people. I'm afraid they will have to do so."

Zhang Han's words relieved Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang's tension, and both of them began to rush to confess their love.

Yang Qiuduan shouted: "Okay, now you start talking about everything from Liaodong to Shanxi, don't hide it."

Both of them have talked about these things. During their retelling, Zhang Han noticed that they had been using the state of memory and there was no trace of fabrication.

Zhang Han suddenly interrupted the two and asked, "This time my subordinates fight you, what do you want to say? What will happen if my subordinates meet stronger enemies?"

Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang both shook their heads quickly, Zhang Han put away his smile and said coldly: "I only take in useful talents here, if they are useless..."

Zhou Daniu rushed to say: "The subordinates of the adults are extremely brave, especially the array is rigorous, the firearms are neatly sent out, the lethality is extremely high, and the array is fast, and the array is not messy. They must be practiced a lot in daily life. There are also warriors who use the mistress formation to chase very flexibly..."

Zhang Han and the officers present nodded secretly. Zhou Daniu is worthy of being the border army in Liao Town. He has experienced many bloody battles and his rich experience has made him knowledgeable. Although he is welcomed, he is actually talking about the key points.

"The firearms squad that spread out was very accurate. The firearms are much sharper than the bird guns. The bird guns under the adults are also very well-made. However, according to the villain, the bird guns are not as far as the archers. This time I met us. If we have elite border troops with many archers, the bird guns will be much more casualties. The bird gun players need to strengthen their protection before. There are also sharp soldiers to prepare the enemy to use small groups of dead soldiers to disrupt the formation. The adults' cavalry is insufficient, and the training does not seem to be very good. No matter how we say it, they are just bandits, and there are many cavalrymen, and there are not old people. If they are elite cavalrymen, the last cavalry battle may be much more damaged. This formation must also be covered by cavalrymen. Otherwise, it will be harassed by the enemy's light cavalry's strong bow. The array will be too slow to advance or retreat, and there will be great losses..."

Zhang Han interrupted Zhou Daniu and said, "Did you compare Jiannu with my soldiers?"

Zhou Daniu was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "What the adults said is that somehow the villain couldn't help but compare Jiannu with the soldiers of the adults. The adults' elite is indeed a rare elite. However, in the opinion of the villain, if more than one thousand to two thousand Jiannu were fighting with the adults' troops that day, the outcome would be unpredictable. Even if the adults' subordinates could win, they would suffer extremely heavy losses..."

Zhou Daniu was afraid that Zhang Han would be unhappy when he said that, while looking at Zhang Han carefully. Cheng Fang was even more nervous. He felt that he would never see his wife and children again.

"You said everything very well." After a long time, Zhang Han nodded and said, "It just happened to be the shortcomings of our Central Army. So, what can be improved in the short term?"

"The villain doesn't know too much." Zhou Daniu said: "But I feel that the adults' soldiers still lack a sense of ruthlessness. A war like this is not enough to give the soldiers too much insight. They win too quickly. To be honest, the real battlefield..."

"The real battlefield is a hundred times larger, a hundred times more violent, and a hundred times more bloody." Zhang Han suddenly said: "Are you Yang Yi's subordinates?"

Zhou Daniu said in surprise: "The villain was brought out by Team Yang."

"I have been to Liaodong." Zhang Han said: "Yang Yi was captured from the battlefield and later rescued by me. Now he is probably in Guangning. After a while, I will send someone to contact him. You can bring him a letter and ask him to contact your family. Since Sarhu, your family may have thought you were dead."

Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang both showed endless joy on their faces. They were defeated and fled all the way from the battlefield. They were constrained in the camp as defeated soldiers in Kaiyuan and Tieling. It was impossible to ask someone to send a letter. Later, they simply followed Yu Shiqian all the way back to the inner palace, detoured from Hebei to southern Shaanxi, and then to eastern Jin, thousands of miles and half a year. They estimated that their families must have thought they were dead, and the situation at home must be very sad. Both of them have wives. Women with children in these days will not remarry easily. They are not very worried. They just feel alone, and their wives and children are not supported by their wives and old mothers at home. When they think of it, they feel very sad.

If it weren't for being tied to the chair, Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang would have definitely kneeled down.

"You are all soldiers who have served for the country." Zhang Han looked at the two of them and said with great emotion: "I watched the battlefield where Yang Yi was with my own eyes. Under the rain bow and arrow, in the blood and fire, fighting to the end, corpses are everywhere, and blood flows into rivers. These words may not be touched by those who listen to them, but if you see people being chopped into pieces of limbs with your own eyes, you will feel completely different... Speaking of which, you are also guilty and die. Anyone who is the leader among the thieves must have the lives of many innocent people in your hands. If you had not made contributions to the country, you would have killed all of you this time."

"Thank you for your life for mercy," Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fangjun said: "The villain and others are willing to serve the adults, and they will never refuse to die."
