Chapter 304 This Prince Will Take Them Away
Ning Yi looked at the loyal black man in front of him and finally shook his head slightly: "You are not qualified enough to suppress the fierce generals of Yu Shengfei's group."
To put it bluntly, Qin Haifeng is still the commander of Ning Yi's personal guards.
Even though he had participated in several major battles in the border army, his rank was not very high.
But Ning Yi is different. He is the real Sixth Prince, a member of the royal family, and the commander of Hushan Pass appointed by the emperor himself.
No matter who it is, they must listen to him.
Qin Haifeng had no choice but to obey the order: "Your Highness, rest assured. With me here, the barbarians will never dare to set foot in Hushan Pass."
However, Ning Yi warned: "Remember, let the three guards from the Beijing Camp go up first. Our five guards are our own people, so use them with caution."
"As for those menial soldiers, we can organize them first and deploy them to the battlefield at any time."
"As long as the military camp outside the city is not breached, Hushan Pass will be safe."
Ning Yi also gave him a lot of advice, telling him not to be frugal with supplies on the battlefield, and to use whatever he could use.
No matter what, the army's supply must be guaranteed, and the two thousand recovering wounded soldiers must not be allowed to go to the battlefield at will.
Those were the grassroots forces that Ning Yi had truly incorporated into the entire Hushan Pass army.
Ning Yi gave the order and all the troops were shocked. No way, they actually took the initiative to attack in such a cold day.
But after Ning Yi talked about the situation in Hongfeng County, all the commanders shut up.
Ning Yi said coldly: "Tell the soldiers that the court has not issued enough cotton-padded clothes, so this prince has no choice but to give them to the brothers fighting on the front line first."
"The imperial court doesn't provide cotton-padded clothes. This time, I will take them to rob them."
These words were actually meant to rally the troops' morale, and those setting out were all temporary troops, naturally troops under his temporary control.
However, Ning Yi looked at Yu Shengfei of the Northwest Army and said, "General Yu, I have never been willing to use your cavalry indiscriminately, and the supply of military supplies has never been interrupted."
"This prince has treated you well. If you don't show some strength when attacking Hongfeng County this time, the entire army will not agree."
Yu Shengfei immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, rest assured. Our cavalry army of 30,000 brothers has been looking forward to going to the battlefield."
"Your Highness has distributed so much supplies to our cavalry. If you don't kill more barbarians, I will be sorry for your Majesty and your Highness, and I don't have the face to ask for anything else."
It seemed like a nice thing to say, and Ning Yi smiled: "Well, this time, this prince is looking forward to it. I hope that your Northwest Army will achieve great feats on the battlefield."
But he snorted in his heart, this prince has given your army so many supplies, and you are still thinking about the old emperor. Why are you so loyal to the old emperor?
After only two days of preparation, Ning Yi was ready to set off.
He repeatedly reminded Qin Haifeng that if things were impossible, he could let the guards who stayed behind escort him and Zeng Rou away quickly and go to the base first.
Even if Hushan Pass is lost in the end, there is no need to worry, because Ning Yi still has the base.
There were a large amount of supplies there, enough for an army of 200,000.
These were all the money Ning Yi secretly confiscated from various places. He accumulated a large amount of money and would use it at the critical moment.
He also held Zeng Rou, who looked worried, in his arms and comforted her, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to this prince. But you, absolutely must not get into any trouble."
Zeng Rou's beautiful eyes were red and she said, "Your Highness, please be careful and stay safe. I will wait for you to come back."
She has become Ning Yi's woman, and even at Hushan Pass, she is the only woman who takes care of him.
She no longer called herself Rou'er, but called herself "concubine".
This means that Ning Yi acknowledged her status as a concubine, although the status of a concubine was very low and in a wealthy family, the mistress could deal with her at any time.
But Ning Yi is the sixth prince.
The prince's concubine is the side prince's wife, who dares to disrespect her?
If there was no wedding ceremony, the servants would have called her the concubine of the prince.
Now we can only call her "Madam" to show respect.
Ning Yi was wearing a set of fine armor and a mink cloak, which were found in Prince Ji's mansion.
Prince Ji is rich and has many good things. The best ones are naturally given to Ning Yi.
He led 40,000 temporary troops and more than 40,000 cavalry and set out in a mighty force.
At the same time, there are 800 firearms battalions and 2,000 book soldiers. These soldiers are Ning Yi's real guards, and they follow Ning Yi at all times.
Even in the Battle of Hushan Pass, they still needed training, but the various supplies they used were the best, and they were all winter clothes sent by the base.
The weather was cold. Although it wasn't snowing, I was still shivering from the cold.
Especially in the temporary army, most of them are captured soldiers.
No one had much winter clothing, but everyone was stuffing clothes around.
Many of them were taken from dead bodies, and they looked like a group of ragtag soldiers.
However, the various armors and weapons Ning Yi gave them were all well-selected and sufficient to keep them combat-ready.
In order to maintain heat, they are given ginger soup to drink whenever they are resting.
For this purpose, we specially collected a lot of quilts for them.
Even though it is very worn out, it still keeps you warm.
Ning Yi led the army and marched quickly to the west.
Similarly, the new troops in the nearby mountains were also quickly gathering at the designated location.
This time, Ning Yi must wipe out these 70,000 troops in one breath.
He didn't even bother to hide the new army.
After all, with so many new troops, it would be easy for them to reveal their identities even if they were moving through the mountains, but Ning Yi couldn't care less.
Moreover, it is only necessary to mobilize two nearby private armies to reorganize the army, and the other troops can continue to hide in the mountains.
The 70,000-strong barbarian army, after capturing Hongfeng County, repelled the troops of a guard from the Beijing camp who came to fight for it.
After only a few days of rest, they immediately headed south quickly.
They didn't actually go to Hushan Pass, their target was directly towards the capital.
Ning Yi's guess was correct. The barbarian Khan didn't expect them to attack Hushan Pass from the rear.
After all, it is not easy to break through Hushan Pass, and it will not only waste a lot of time.
It will even be very dangerous for the army entering.
The Barbarian Khan also had many spies in the capital, and he knew the capital's defenses very well.
Only a nominal 40,000 Beijing garrison soldiers remained.
How could such a small force be a match for his 70,000-strong army?
All they needed was a quick raid, to take the capital and block the retreat route at Hushan Pass.
The army at Hushan Pass will collapse on its own. By then, it will be useless for the little guy Wu Lingyun to not want to surrender, because there are many people below who want to save their lives and will tie him up and force him to surrender.
But this must be done quickly, so as not to give the capital city time to prepare for defense, nor to give other vassal kings time to consider and decide on sending troops.
Even according to the news, the princes will not send troops, but will only watch the fun.
But the barbarian Khan did not dare to make a conclusion at will.
The Barbarian Khan's move seemed to be an attempt to cut off Ning Yi's retreat.
However, his large army scared the civil and military officials in the capital into a panic.
