Chapter 33 Ussuri River

I have tried my best to choose when it is late at night. At this time, few people can watch it at the fastest, usually it will be at least half an hour before it can be modified to the correct content.

It's okay to read on the computer, and it's okay to automatically subscribe with the mobile app. As long as I haven't clicked on the chapter before I modified it. Once I clicked on it, the wrong chapter content will be downloaded and entered into the mobile phone cache. At this time, even if I modify the mobile client, it is still the wrong content and will never change.

At this time, you can only download this chapter again. If it doesn’t work, you can only delete the book and remove it, and then add it again and put it on the shelves.

There are few people reading niche books and are rampant. There is no way to do so. If you don’t do this, you can’t make it. I’m sorry.

************************************

After resting in Hezhong Fort for two days, the "grain collection team" led by Xie Hansan set out again.

This time their target was the Hotunto people who lived a semi-nova and half-collective life on the south bank of the Berg River. To be honest, these Hotunto people were not rich, and some of the tribes could even be called poor. But who made it difficult for the people on the east coast today, and the food could only last for more than a month. In this case, it was better to have courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame, but they could only snatch it.

On November 6, the grain collection team equipped with four artillery and more than 100 rifles, and with the last hundred Koisan slaves, suddenly attacked a Hotunto tribe. Under the shotguns fired by the cannon, the Hotunto people quickly retreated, and the grain collection team did not pursue it. They took over the tribe's camp and then seized about a thousand animal skins and more than 300 cattle and sheep.

Ten days later, on the evening of November 16, the grain collection team once again caught a migrating Hottonot tribe. They relied on their excellent military equipment and good soldiers to defeat the desperate resistance of the Hottonot people and took most of the tribe's property as themselves, including about 500 cattle and sheep and a small amount of food.

On November 30, the grain collection team, which was highly morale due to success, carried out the largest attack in history. In addition to 100 army riflesmen, two platoons (32 people) of local militia and 200 spearmen were dispatched. It is worth mentioning that only half of the 200 spearmen's slaves accounted for half, while the remaining half were recruited from new Eastern immigrants. These Eastern immigrants were the foundation for the development of East Coast people in South Africa in the future, so Mo Ming specially opened the arsenal to assign a breastplate to each person as protection.

This differentiated approach also made the Koisan slaves extremely jealous. They were not without the Koisan people who had a shy face to ask the officers for the same armor, but they soon became honest and honest under the attack of the officers' military sticks.

"Reiterate the discipline again!" Anda Fifteen wandered expressionlessly in front of two hundred spearmen who were arranged in four rows of horizontal lines and said, "When listening to the drum trumpet, the pace must be neat and not messy! When receiving the war, listen to the officer's orders, the movements must be consistent, keep the queues neat, and do not protrude or delay. Those who violate the order shall be executed on the spot! Of course, the most important thing is that no one is allowed to escape at the last minute, and those who violate the order shall be killed!"

Zhang Daniu, who had just trained for less than twenty days, heard Anda Shiwu's mouth slashing one by one, and his calves couldn't help but suck. My mother, I have never hit anyone except fighting with my neighbor's children since I was a child. Now this official actually asked me to kill someone. How did this make it happen? He glanced at the left hand of Mr. Zhang, who was holding the spear on his right, was shaking slightly. Obviously he was very scared.

They were quite unlucky. Although Zhang Daniu was a child from a poor family, he was also tall and thick. Not to mention Mr. Zhang next to him, he often did farm work and kept up with his nutrition. He looked like he was strong and strong. He was not old, but he was only in his early thirties. Therefore, the two unlucky people were immediately noticed by the militia director of Hezhong Fort and were conscripted into a "glorious" spearman.

Both of their mud legs were conscripted, and those powerful former thieves who looked at Kong Wu did not have any reason to be missed by the militia director. Even one or two of them were promoted to the platoon leader in the spear's hands - the platoon leader. Coincidentally, one of them was named Sun Shengjun, the platoon leader of Zhang Daniu and his platoon, who were in charge of nineteen of them.

Sun Shengjun was very young and in his early twenties, but he was very mature in his work. He did everything he ordered, and was not always lost like those stupid mud legs. Therefore, he was soon appreciated by the sergeant of Anda's 15th Army, who was temporarily in charge of the spear camp, and was promoted to the platoon leader. Moreover, according to some widely circulated rumors that Zhang Daniu found, Sun Shengjun was said to be a fellow villager with Zhang Zhexianzhong's adopted son Zhang (Sun), and he had to pay attention to it on weekdays. If he had not been in trouble this time, he would not have been sold to this unrestrained place, and might have been popular and spicy in some place in the Ming Dynasty.

"Brothers, we are all miserable people who have left their luck." After Anda Fifteen spoke, the platoon leaders began to mobilize their soldiers, and Sun Shengjun also spoke "New Mandarin" with a strong Shaanxi accent (i.e. Mandarin spoken by time travelers): "But since we have arrived at this place, let's stay at ease and don't think about anything. I also read it. There is nothing to do in this place, and there are not many people, but it's just a little bit.

What? By the way, there are few people and more land! Shangguan also said that after fighting this battle, everyone will be the 'self...free people' - anyway, it means their own people. Since they are all their own people, the land must be distributed to everyone to plant. First, one person will have ten acres, and if he makes merit and receives rewards in the future, then his mother will continue to reward! If there is no land? Then go and grab it! Snatch it from those Kunlun slaves! If we can't beat those Kunlun slaves, then we'd just die and count the ball!"

After saying a while, Sun Shengjun took a breath, then looked at everyone's expressions and continued to encourage: "This is all the best watered land, brothers! Think about how difficult it is to get a piece of land to plant in our hometown. Besides, what can I do if I have land in the Ming Dynasty now? How long has it been raining in our Shaanxi? There is no thing growing in the field. No one has eaten anything, so I can only eat wild vegetables and eat tree bark. In the end, even the bark is gone. Then there is only...eat people!" At the end, Sun Shengjun probably remembered the years of struggle in the past, and his expression was a little sad.

"Platform leader, I've had sex with you! Damn, in our hometown in Anhui, I rented a few acres of land from my home, and I can't make a living all year round. At the end of last year, my wife and the baby were starved to death. I don't believe that this world is so chaotic! I want to earn land, I want to marry a wife and have babies again! I want... wuwu..." As he said that, the man in his thirties suddenly burst into tears: "I just want to survive."

This man's words resonated with many people. These people were basically refugees who were struggling to survive in the Ming Dynasty. After hearing this, the crowd was excited. Even Zhang Defa, who had seen some "world" like Mr. Zhang, could not help but feel a little excited: "I want to revive my family business. I originally had 100 acres of land, I want to revive my family business..."

When Sun Shengjun saw that the soldiers' emotions had been mobilized, he knew the reason for striking while the iron was hot, and he had to take advantage of the hotness of the recruits to rush forward with one breath. Therefore, he immediately turned his head and looked at the commander Anda Fifteen behind him.

Anda No.15 nodded to him with approval, as if he admired his pre-war mobilization work. Then he saw that the other platoon leaders had almost done the mobilization. At present, the mood of these new recruits has improved significantly, and their desire to fight is much stronger than before. It seems that Sun Shengjun is still a talent for making a fortune, at least he knows how to increase the morale of the soldiers by mobilizing people's inner desires. I heard that he had been an officer of the peasant uprising army before and had experience in war, so maybe he could give him a military status after the investigation.

"Listen to the rhythm of the drum and trumpeter, prepare... to move forward!" The drum and trumpeter played the "Victory belongs to the Army March". The sword in Anda Fifteen's hand suddenly waved, and the spearmen began to move forward slowly under his command. Their position was a gentle slope, and the spearmen must carefully control their speed and pace when they were downhill. Below the gentle slope was a camp of the Hottonots, which was a large camp. Hundreds of Hottonots shouted loudly in front of the camp, as if they were threatening the invaders. Behind them, more Hottonots were packing their things and preparing to escape.

Xie Hansan led the army soldiers in an orderly formation and followed about a hundred meters behind the spear formation, preparing to attack at any time when the war was unfavorable. However, the Hotuntos' military preparation and fighting will were weak, and generally speaking, they were not required to take action. When the Hotuntos tribe was conquered, the spearmen who surrendered to the Koysan slaves were often killed by them. These Koysan slaves were still able to fight when the East Coast Army soldiers were in the rear, and they no longer saw the way they fled before surrendering.

This incident made the army commander Xie Hansan very confused. He remembered the Ming officers and soldiers who defected to Jiannu. After these soldiers who were afraid of the enemy were dragged a braid behind their heads, they seemed to have infinite combat power and could even easily defeat those former comrades.

The battle was already in contact in front, Xie Hansan didn't think much, and widened his eyes to observe the situation. The artillery on both sides had fired several rounds of artillery shells at the dense crowd of Hotunto before the battle was held, killing many enemies and greatly shaking the opponent's fighting will. As soon as the two sides fought, these red barbarians couldn't bear to take it and retreat step by step. Even though there were their families and property behind, many people could not stop and start to retreat.

"Very easy!" Lieutenant Lian Deputy Lan Guo, who was standing on Xie Hansan's right, said with relief, "I think we may not have to take action."

"Yes." Xie Hansan nodded without comment and said, "It's better to let these new recruits see blood, but the value of this battle is too low and it won't be effective in training at all."

"If the enemy is too strong, their losses will be huge."

"How can you become a talent without going through hard battles? I hope you can train a strong army? This is impossible!" Xie Hansan snorted coldly, "A army can only become a truly strong army after being baptized by blood and fire. It is useless to rely on excellent equipment and training alone, it is a fancy army. Well, the enemy has collapsed, and it is time to harvest the results below." "Very easy!" Lian Deputy Languo Lieutenant standing on Xie Hansan's right hand said with relief, "I think we may not have to take action."

"Yes." Xie Hansan nodded without comment and said, "It's better to let these new recruits see blood, but the value of this battle is too low and it won't be effective in training at all."

"If the enemy is too strong, their losses will be huge."

"How can you become a talent without going through hard battles? It is impossible to rely on training to train to create a strong army? "Xie Hansan snorted coldly, "A army can only become a truly strong army after being baptized by blood and fire. It is useless to rely on excellent equipment and training alone, it is a fancy army. Well, the enemy has collapsed, and it is time to reap the results of the battle."

On that day, the East Coast army killed more than 100 Hotunto people, completely dismantling their resistance, and their own casualties were only more than 20 people. The Spearman Battalion, which was fighting for the first time, had a good record. He didn't even ask the riflemen behind to intervene in the entire battle, and pushed the whole way until the resistance of the Hotunto people was completely defeated.

In this battle, more than 5,000 kilograms of grain and more than 600 cattle and sheep were seized, which basically alleviated the food crisis in Hezhongbao.
