Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 224 Wuyang Elite Soldiers
Wang Tiechui shook his head, this guy really couldn't get better.The most amazing thing is that the camel's head is also moving towards them bit by bit, and it works perfectly with Yang Menglong, which is amazing!
Han Peng led people to meet him, with a surprised expression on his face: "Hey, the shopkeeper is here again?"

Yang Menglong called: "What do you mean I'm here again? I come here often, okay?"

Han Peng sneered: "What do you mean by 'often', how many times a year? Three times or four times?"

Yang Menglong said: "Anyway, I come here often, you don't care how many times you come!"

Xue Siming pointed to the haughty camel: "My lord, since when did you like riding camels?"

Yang Menglong patted his beloved camel and said proudly: "I bought this with a lot of money in Yulin Border Market! Let me tell you, this kind of white camel is very rare. Even the Emperor of Xixia doesn't have many of them. You guys It is a great fortune to be able to catch a glimpse!"

Xu Gong didn't believe his nonsense: "I bought it with a lot of money? How much did it cost?"

Yang Menglong said: "A goblet!"

Xu Gong curled his lips: "I thought it was worth a lot, so it's worth a handful of sand..." Although he didn't know the specific process of making glass, he also knew from Yang Menglong that glass is made of sand. It's all over the place, what kind of valuable stuff can it be?

Xiao Yufang exclaimed: "Don't laugh at it, it will spray you!" Before the words finished, the idiot's eyes widened, and a mouthful of white foam "poof" squirted over, Xu Gong was caught off guard and sprayed it all over the face , smelly and smelly, the smell is really uncomfortable!Everyone was stunned and laughed. Xu Gong became furious and cursed: "You beast!" He raised his foot and kicked!Xiao Yufang exclaimed again: "Don't kick it! It will kick you!" Unfortunately, it was already too late. At the same time that Xu Gong kicked the idiot heavily, the idiot's hard hoof also kicked heavily. Bow reacted quickly enough, and dodge cleverly. He didn't get kicked, but he also broke out in a cold sweat.Before it was over, the idiot became even more angry when he saw that he was not kicking. He opened his big mouth, exposed his white teeth, and bit Xu Gong's neck fiercely!Xu Gong was shocked: "Is this... is this a camel or a mad dog?" Unable to resist, he ran away.The idiot refused to give up and chased after him with howls and screams. Xu Gong rolled and crawled after him, shouting as he ran: "Sir, you should hold it, hold it!"

Yang Menglong didn't pull, and let the idiot drive Xu Gong away.The camel seems to move slowly, but in fact, once it is angry or in heat, it can reach an astonishing speed of [-] kilometers per hour when chasing female camels and galloping horses. Unfortunately, Xu Gong provoked it, and it seems that Xu Gong is in trouble.Pointing to Xu Gong's distraught figure, he said triumphantly to everyone: "Have you seen it? Don't question what I do. Everything I do must have its meaning, even if it takes a little Change the sand back to a camel!"

Everyone had black lines on their foreheads and nodded vigorously to show that they remembered. Yang Menglong blew a whistle, and the idiot ran back unwillingly. Xu Gong, who was almost chased by it and had cramps in his legs, relaxed. With a breath of air, he almost collapsed to the ground.

Yang Menglong punched the idiot, signaling it to calm down and stop spouting and biting for no reason.The idiot pouted, looking aggrieved.Of course, with Xu Gong's lesson before, everyone probably wouldn't dare to provoke it anymore, and it won't be wronged anymore.

Yang Menglong inspected his army. Well, there were a lot more people!He frowned and said, "It seems there are a lot more people. I remember we only had about two thousand people before."

Xue Siming said: "Sir, didn't you allow your subordinates to recruit children from your hometown to join the army? In the past few months, more than 200 Yulin children have come to join the army, and my subordinates have incorporated them into the army!"

Yang Menglong looked confused: "What else is there?" Scratching his head, "I seem to have promised you to accept those Yulin children who came to join the army, and I also gave you the right to recruit a thousand people."

Xue Siming was so excited that he almost cried.Thank God you didn't forget after all!Recruiting soldiers privately is a capital crime. Not to mention that he is a small household, even the chief soldier cannot afford the crime!

Han Peng pointed to a phalanx with black helmets and black armor, and said: "Those are the recruits from Yulin, and many of them are elite frontier soldiers. Ningxia, Shaanxi is so miserable that even the frontier soldiers can't survive, and they fled one after another. They escaped to our place by mistake, and I took them all in."

Yang Menglong asked: "How is the quality of this batch of recruits?"

Han Peng said: "Okay, very good! They grew up in the border gates since they were young. It is common for them to fight against the Tartars. They have been practicing swords and bows since they were young. They are strong and tough. They are rare elite soldiers... The weaker ones are all Killed by the Tartars!"

Wang Tiechui said: "The most rare thing is that they are very individual. If you order them to advance, they will rush forward even if there is only one person left; if you let them stop, they will not surrender even if they hit the last person!"

Yang Menglong laughed: "This is not bad! Tell me, how many soldiers do I have?"

Xiao Yufang said softly: "Now there are 770 eight soldiers, including 150 cavalrymen, [-] scouts, [-] musketeers, [-] archers, and heavily armored warriors..."

Yang Menglong was taken aback: "Why do you know better than me?"

Xiao Yufang looked helpless: "When you're not around, they always come to me to collect military pay and supplies..."

Yang Menglong grunted, and secretly told himself that he must come to the barracks often in the future, so as not to be unaware that his wife took the military power.He grinned and said, "Well, well, in just two years, our manpower has almost doubled, not bad!"

Everyone pouted in unison.Is this not bad?If it were someone else, with your financial and material resources, you would have already pulled 3 to [-] horses!But these words must never be said, otherwise Yang Menglong will turn his face and let the camel bite people.Yang Menglong happily inspected his troops, yes, looking around, the formation is neat and orderly, with black helmets, black flags and black armor, like a black mountain, no matter you are winded from southeast to northwest, it will remain motionless.These are all elite soldiers who have undergone one or two years of training. Even the Yulin soldiers who joined the army the latest have trained for more than half a year. In terms of training intensity and excellent equipment, I am afraid that he will be number two, and no one will dare to be number one. .The result of strict training and sufficient meat supply is that the trained soldiers are all tall and burly, like those soldiers who enlisted at the age of seventeen or eighteen, they are generally half a head taller than before enlisting, and they have grown a lot stronger. Can't wear it at all.The murderous aura soared to the sky, and the soldiers were majestic. Being in it, even he, a guy who has always been out of tune, became serious and his heart was ups and downs.This is the master of tiger and wolf created by him alone, and it is the only reliance he can rely on to survive in this era!

The size of the pikemen has expanded a lot.Most of the young people who came from Yulin to join the army like to choose pikemen. The dense spear array like reeds can better display their combat effectiveness. They are extremely united and fearless. Harassment and interception, even if they are shot with arrows and corpses all over the ground, they will never stop until all the enemies are pierced into skewers.And in the subsequent series of bloody battles, their performance is also worthy of the honor of "Yulin's elite soldiers are the best in the world". This will be a terrifying army of tigers and wolves.

Cross-blade hands have also increased a lot.Shaanxi was originally rich in swordsmen. As one of the nine frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, the Shaanxi frontier army was better at using long knives. Now Shaanxi and Ningxia are suffering from severe drought every year. Not to mention the common people, even the frontier army can’t survive. Fleeing, many of them fled to Wuyangwei via Wuguan to join the army, and naturally returned to their old profession as swordsmen.These guys were originally fighters who fought desperately to fight, and they were extremely ferocious. After they were equipped with horizontal swords and iron armor, they were even more unstoppable, and the heavy responsibility of beheading fell to them.Now these Hengdaos are holding horizontal swords in their hands, and they look at their commander proudly, their eyes are wild and full of wildness.

The Musketeers' current establishment is finally full.They were carrying thick and long electric muskets, and an extended dog-leg knife was stuck in their crotches. Ammunition pouches made of cowhide were placed within easy reach, and they stood as straight as javelins.The electric gun with six barrels is thick and heavy, and with some nails, it becomes a shrunken version of the mace, which is very effective in hitting people.These musketeers are also very hard-working. In addition to practicing formation and shooting, they also have to practice short knife assassination skills, because once the ordinary musketeers let the enemy get close, it is basically a massacre. If Yang Menglong dies, he will be shot. The pension of 40 taels of silver is not worth it. These musketeers must be taught more life-saving skills to reduce the number of deaths. It is best to defeat the enemy with single-digit casualties, otherwise one death will cost a thousand or more Man, he still has to go bankrupt?

Archers—that is, crossbowmen, holding a strong crossbow that can shoot 220 paces, carrying a bag of sharp steel arrowheads, and a dogleg knife on their thighs, they are majestic.These guys probably have been shooting human-shaped targets for too long, and their spirits are a little abnormal. No matter who they meet, their eyes will first fall on the neck and chest of the other party, staring straight at the other party's heart.Like musketeers, in addition to queue training and shooting training, they also have to practice short-knife stabbing and even unarmed killing. deadly.Of course, as a long-range strike force, they don't have many opportunities to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. If they are all involved in hand-to-hand combat, it can only be said that the situation is already very bad.

The cavalry is not large, only 400 people, one man and two horses, but they all use good horses.The source of this cavalry is also from the Shaanxi frontier army, and there are even many Mongolians, all of whom are skilled in bows and horses, and are very aggressive.The few trips Wuyangwei's caravan made to Yulin were effective. At least let this barren land know that there is still a place where they can get enough food, so the hungry Shaanxi frontier soldiers and Mongols slipped away. After coming over here, I was able to eat as a soldier here. Thanks to this, the Wuyang Guard has accumulated a considerable size of cavalry in a short period of time.However, these guys are only serving as soldiers for food, and their loyalty may still be a problem, so you must be careful when using them.

The size of the scout has doubled... There is no way, not everyone can be a scout, you must have extraordinary martial arts, a clever mind, not afraid of death, and you must be able to write and count, and you must be able to scout The enemy information was compiled into text and pictures and reported. With these few articles, many guys who wanted to be scouts were turned away.These guys are treated better than the cavalry, and their equipment is extremely sophisticated, with all kinds of things.Someone was carrying a crossbow on his back. I really don’t know how he aimed the crossbow on horseback, and how he cocked it after shooting?Difficulty Throwing the arrow after shooting it?Some people were even more outrageous, stuffing five or six muskets into their bodies. After shooting, they would throw one away and then pick it up again when the battle was over.Mongolians like compound bows. Although there are not many archers in Wuyangwei, the compound bows produced by Wuyangwei are not bad. They are made of high-quality materials and exquisite workmanship. The compound bows made can shoot more than [-] meters. No armor can stop it within fifty steps.This group of Mongolian soldiers simply regarded these bows as treasures and would not let others touch them.

Of course, what was even more difficult to mess with was the one hundred heavily armored warriors who were generally taller than 1.8 meters [-] and weighed more than [-] kilograms. Their entire bodies were covered with thick armor, leaving only two eye sockets exposed.The armor of these guys is terrifyingly heavy, they are like human tanks, plus that thick and heavy giant axe, not to mention hitting, just looking at it will make your legs tremble!

These hoplites, even ordinary soldiers, are paid more than the commander in charge of twenty or thirty soldiers!
These are Yang Menglong's main achievements in the past two years. An elite soldier who can look down on the world. When they leave the barracks, looking at the world, there are only a handful of troops that can compete with them.
