"There is a river ahead, it's a good place to camp there." Another day passed, the team advanced in the afternoon, and the young general with an injured leg reported.
The injured were carried on stretchers, and the prisoners were responsible for carrying part of the baggage, while their armor was placed on the horses.
Tie ten prisoners with one rope and sit together using the most common rules.
One of the ten people is missing, and the other nine people are all killed. One hundred people form a team, and ten people are missing, and all the people in the team are killed.
The prisoners are quite honest. They know that running alone here without horses and weapons is impossible, and they will be eaten by wild beasts.
After the camp was set up, some people cooked, while others fetched water from the river and boiled it in a pot, and threw in the gauze and bandages used to wrap the wounded.
The wounded and the Ming army ate normally, while the slightly injured and uninjured prisoners only ate half the amount of highland barley noodles mixed with salt.
However, the water supply did not shorten their supply, and they were even given soup. For this, the captives understood and were grateful.
Otherwise, giving only a little food a day, no salt, and limited water is the normal way to treat prisoners.
The best prisoners are those who have no strength to resist or escape. If you feed the captives well, you are causing trouble for yourself.
The Ming army explained the policy to the prisoners and told them that after the war, if they had family members, they could take their families with them to the south.
“Have you ever been to the south of the Yangtze River? You have never been there. In winter, the water does not freeze and snow occasionally falls. Only on high mountains can the snow be retained.”
< p>A soldier of the Ming Army told ten prisoners about things in the south of the Yangtze River, trying his best to describe what heaven on earth looked like.After the captives pass, they can mine and do not need to be tortured. They will be given food and drink as normal and wages will be paid.
It is better to prevent them from suddenly rebelling here than to kill them.
The prisoners listened, thought, and prepared to go. In fact, they had no choice except to choose death.
Those who were seriously injured hummed softly after eating, and the pain did not feel so bad after humming.
There are still people who cannot survive and die, but everyone is numb to this.
"The other two armies don't know the situation. This time we will definitely be able to defeat He Lin and drive Bei Yuan out completely."
Lanyu is eating horse meat and using his troops The seasoning package that comes with it is marinated, but the marinade is dried up and it feels like sauce. The marinade cannot be carried all the time.
The seasoning package is made by Ju Biqi. When he was fighting outside, he caught game or dead horses. If he didn't like the taste of eating it directly, he could marinate it.
Put more salt when stewing. It can be stored for several days. It is best to cut into slices and dry in the sun.
Many horses were killed in this battle, and those who were seriously injured were given a good life. Their skins were peeled off, and they were rubbed with cooking plant ashes, and their meat was eaten.
Xu Da picked up a piece of horse meat and said, "The one that has been stored in the material bag can be reused."
Blue Jade""
He turned around and asked, "Have you collected the ingredients for the braised pork?"
"Yes, hang it up to dry and pack it up once it's dry." "The person responsible for making braised pork shouted.
Xu Da smiled, "Helin is a strategic location. Beiyuan built the city from there because the local land is fertile and there are many rivers, which is suitable for both animal husbandry and farming.
However, it is estimated that they will not be able to catch their important people. Now that the vegetation on the grassland is lush, they can continue to flee north as long as they bring their livestock.
After continuous fighting on the road, our army could only stop at Helin, where it reinforced the city and repaired the destroyed houses. "
When Xu Da talked about what was going to happen in the future, he had a premonition that if he fought there, he would almost face an empty city.
Unless he is not in a hurry to fight now, he will wait until winter comes and there is heavy snow. After that, they went to fight Helin. The people of Beiyuan could not run north with a large number of people and livestock.
But then their army would not be able to hold on. They chose this season to fight because they didn't have to. Just bring fodder and salt for the horses.
“Oh,” Lan Yu said in frustration, “If we don’t use good weapons, we may lose, and even if we win, we will suffer heavy casualties.
If we use good weapons, after they know it, they will not fight us head-on. If we evacuate, they will tear down and burn the house and other things that cannot be taken away.
I heard from them that the houses and palaces in Helin are quite good. It would be great if they could fight to the death with us."
"Impossible, they won't be able to survive just because they are lost in a certain place. During the Yuan Dynasty, foreign conquests never stopped.
Seeing that they could not defeat them, they would of course make arrangements in advance to take advantage of the lush water and grass to go to the north to recruit other tribes. "
Xu Da shook his head. He knew the people of Beiyuan too well. They would leave as soon as they were told, and no matter what hardships they experienced, as long as they lived, they would become stronger again.
"They continue to run north, but we can't run over and fight again in a short time. "Lanyu shook her head.
"Run. They cannibalize other people in the north, which is better than us meeting them directly. When we come into contact with those people, we don’t know whether they are friends or enemies.
In Bei Yuan’s case, we know we are enemies and we can just deal with them the same way we treat enemies.
Occupying Helin, we will raise more cattle, sheep, horses, and camels to prepare for the future. ”
Xu Da analyzed it from another angle. Beiyuan promised to annex other tribes in the past, and Ming Dynasty was hostile to them.
Wang Baobao ran away with his people and returned to his place. He has already planned to recruit people. He and his men will go to Helin immediately to explain the situation, and then he will be ready to go north at any time. He will not give a single sheep to the Ming army. Stay.
Next, we will try to find skilled craftsmen and let them make fire blunderbuss that are not afraid of rain and do not need to be lit by open flames.
We will fight again when we have enough strength and the weapons can catch up. Come back, Xu Da just relied on the strength of firearms to win.
Yang.Send a detailed investigation to find out what happened to the Ming army's firearms. It would be best if you could get a method for making them.
Before that, you must not encounter the Ming army, especially on rainy days, you must not fight.
"Stop, let's eat." Wang Baobao also came to a river and took a look at his men. They were okay. There were many horses brought up.
More than 7,000 people dismounted and allowed the horses to drink water and eat grass by themselves.
And they themselves took out some salted fried noodles from their pockets and stuffed them into their mouths, chewing them slowly, waiting for them to swallow, and then drink water.
Everyone in this group of people was silent and seemed to have no interest in talking. After taking a few bites of food, the injured person looked at his wounds.
They dug out the lead bullets that were easy to dig out yesterday, then found horse manure bags in the grass, and used the ash inside to plug the wounds to stop the bleeding.
Look at the situation now. If there is pus and blood and it is inconvenient to squeeze it out, ask others to help, and then apply powder from the horse manure bag.
At the same time, there are other grasses that they also chew in their mouths, such as red peony root and astragalus root.
They have learned these since childhood. Once injured, they must be able to find the corresponding medicine on the grassland.
