Chapter 417 Everyone in Ming Dynasty is an elite soldier
Lingzang, where King Zanshan resides.
After Deng Yu designated the Uzang capital and pacified Tubo, he used religion as a supplement to govern the local area.
King Zanshan obviously did not want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty easily, and the arrival of the chief envoy became an obstacle to his rule over the local people.
How could the common people, who were originally just poor serfs, easily own their own land?
King Zanshan showed a gloomy look in his eyes and said calmly: "Do you all understand? If you want to enter Tibet, the Ming army will definitely pass through the Lingzang area."
"When the emperor's consort serves as a vanguard, we must also welcome him!"
"For having captured my Luntai Mountain, let the Ming army pay for it with their lives!"
King Zanshan clasped his hands together and chanted the name of the Buddha. As a monk, he was burdened with thousands of sins.
“I will obey the decree of King Praise the Good Lord!”
——
For several days, Tibetan scouts continued to patrol the mountain roads and grain roads.
The Ming army auxiliary troops in Luunpan Mountain have obviously begun the grain transportation project.
The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
Mu Ying was cautious and used soldiers to protect and assist the auxiliary troops on their way to transport food.
This scene was just as King Zanshan had expected. The climate in the place where the spirit was stored was not good, and the soldiers of the Ming army spent more energy transporting food.
On the contrary, the Tubo people, who have long been accustomed to it, are not affected as if they are walking on flat ground.
King Zanshan’s men finally seized the opportunity and planned to cut off food and kill people today!
The auxiliary soldiers were pushing the grain carts and panting heavily, which made the Tibetan cavalry even more excited.
"The Ming people are despicable and attack our Luntai Mountain at night!"
"Today, according to the decree of Praise the Good King, kill people and cut off food!"
"Brothers, there is no need to show mercy, just kill them!"
The Tubo cavalry were as fast as the wind, coming from the mountain road on the wind, their horses roaring!
The Ming army was obviously caught off guard. The auxiliary soldiers pushing the grain carts had no time to retreat, but the soldiers had already fled.
The Tibetan people, who had been prepared for the attack, suddenly laughed wildly.
Facing the fleeing Ming army soldiers, they did not bother to chase and kill them. The eagle on the plateau did not bother to chase and kill the deserters.
"Hahaha! What a bullshit Ming army! Dadan is such a loser!"
"If the Ming army didn't respect martial ethics, how could our Tibetan army be defeated by them?"
"Quickly ask these Ming people to transport food and grass for us! When we get to the military camp, kill them all!"
The ferocious Tibetans threatened the auxiliaries with weapons before they moved forward.
The auxiliary soldiers were generally mainly used to transport baggage, so naturally they did not have much combat effectiveness and could only be reduced to fish on the Tubo people's swords.
The Tibetan horse whips kept beating the Ming auxiliary soldiers, and the whip marks were deeply visible on the flesh.
"You are so delicate, but your prince-in-law is nothing but trash!"
"March quickly! Several people unite to push this car!"
"King Zanshan has a clever plan. Our military camp is not far from here, so we can easily intercept the Ming army's food and grass!"
The Tubo cavalry sent out three thousand cavalry this time, which can be said to have been prepared for a long time.
The Ming army had tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers. After all, to ensure the army's food, grass and baggage, the number of auxiliary soldiers was indispensable.
It's just that the Tubo people's impression of the Han people still remains in the Southern Song Dynasty. After all, during that period, the backbone of the Han people had been broken.
It is not difficult to flee in the face of the Tubo army.
What's more, these auxiliary soldiers look like men who have been engaged in farm work for a long time, and the calluses on their hands are quite prominent.
As for this food and grass, it was enough for the army to consume for several months. The Tibetan people sang songs from the snowy plateau to praise this victory.
——
Ming army barracks.
Mu Ying, who was sitting at the center, finally got the news.
"General! Our army's food and fodder have been intercepted! Please give the order quickly and let the brothers pursue the enemy!"
The scout's words instantly caused the generals to turn pale.
"General! It's all Yue Lin's fault for letting our army transport food and grass these days!"
Lu Zhongheng wanted to point his finger at Yue Lin, but found that the other party was not in the military camp.
"Hmph! The general would rather trust a scholar than us veterans! Something has happened now, and the food and grass needed by the army have been wasted!"
Fei Ju was gloating about his misfortune. For him, it was unlikely that the Western Expedition would be successful, as long as there were no faults.
"Alas! Back then, under my command, this Yue Lin was headstrong and violated military orders many times! General, you are all conniving at this!"
Zhao Yong let out a long sigh and almost laughed out loud, already imagining that Yue Lin would return to Jinling and be punished by the emperor.
Mu Ying curled her lips and smiled. There seemed to be a lot fewer people coming to attend the military meeting today.
Not to mention Yue Lin and Lan Yu, even the several thousand households under Mu Ying's command are not here.
Only then did the three princes of Huaixi have the opportunity to speak nonsense.
"Assemble the generals and join me in the expedition!"
Mu Ying waved her hand, and all the generals under her command were ready to go to war. Only the Third Marquis of Huaixi was at a loss.
"General! Go on an expedition? Now go after those Tibetans who are cutting off food?"
"I'm afraid they have disappeared a long time ago. What's the use of chasing them now?"
"General, please think again! You are still young and have a good future..."
Mu Ying stopped and then looked at the three of them: "Three princes, there is no father or son in the army! I am now the deputy general of Zhengxi. Duke Wei is not here, so I am the master of all military orders!"
"The three of you will stay to guard the barracks! Others, follow me!"
Mu Ying already held the fallen eagle in her hand, mounted her war horse, and fought her way out of the Lunpan Mountain military camp.
The morale of the rest of the Ming army is high. They firmly believe that as long as Marshal Mu leads the army, they will be invincible!
Why can't the sun and moon shine like this?
Only the north wind roars up from the sky!
After two hours, the auxiliary soldiers of the Ming army finally delivered the grain and grass to the Tibetan military camp.
Looking around, this place can accommodate 6,000 soldiers, of which 3,000 cavalry are the main combat force.
As for the rest, they were all serfs who buried pots to make rice and fed horses to transport grain.
When the serfs saw the cavalry returning, they quickly stepped forward to lead the horses, but the cavalry unceremoniously kicked the serfs into dismounting.
"Come here, give these serfs weapons and kill the Central Plains people directly!"
"Haha! After using the waste, it's time to dispose of it!"
"There are a lot of vultures and wild dogs in the snowy area, so those beasts are much better off!"
The rusty axes and swords were thrown in front of the serfs.
They are ordinary people, and they absolutely dare not do such murderous things.
None of them dared to pick up weapons, but were trembling with fear.
Whoosh!
A human head had already fallen to the ground, but it was the Tubo cavalry who took action.
"Despicable things, I asked you to kill people, but you are just dawdling here!"
"Just because you are human, remember, you are just the pigs and dogs raised by the King of Praise!"
"Pigs and dogs will be killed if they disobey!"
The serfs were crying and did not dare to move. Even the auxiliary soldiers of the Ming army couldn't bear to see this scene.
"Haha, let me see what food the Ming army escorted!"
Cut open the sack containing grain with a knife, and what was exposed inside looked like a fire stick.
"What is this?"
"This thing is called a fire gun. Holding this thing, I, the Ming Dynasty sergeant, can sweep across the world. The Beiyuan cavalry will also be defeated on the spot."
"You...who are you?"
