Come to Daming with military supplies

Whether it was greed or helplessness, Agadorji finally decided to make a move.All [-] cavalry were dispatched, and with the momentum of certain victory, they broke out of the camp early the next morning and headed towards Shicheng, which was [-] miles away.

In Shicheng, no news from Agadorji has been received yet.After all, the grassland is too big, and most of them are plains, and there is no place to hide. This greatly hinders the movement of the cavalry of the reconnaissance battalion. There is no shelter, so that they cannot get close to the enemy. It is impossible to prepare for battle in advance.

Knowing this, Yang Chendong asked the three regiments under him to maintain a fighting spirit at all times, to come when they are called, to be able to fight when they come, and to win when they fight.

The city is still under construction in an orderly manner.Another day passed, and the number of people from various ethnic groups who came to Shicheng has indeed increased again. Compared with the previous day, there were 500 more people. Today alone, more than [-] people came, and most of them were family members. Mongolian brothers.

According to the rules of entering the city, first you need to register your identity, and then after paying a certain amount of money, you will be assigned to a house that can be used for a month, and finally you will be assigned different jobs according to each person's different conditions.

"We must carefully screen the body of the visitor, and we must not allow it to appear as a stable factor in the city." Yang Chendong walked on the street in Shicheng, surrounded by Humang and Yang Er and other protectors.Walking among the crowd, the Sixth Young Master said some precautions from time to time.

"Yes, we have special people who are doing related work. People who come here need to report not only their real names, but also their previous places of residence. Some of us will investigate these after the event, although we dare not say 100% % is no problem, but for those who have doubts, we all have key guardianship." Humang kept nodding while reporting on his work.

"That's how it should be. Don't let a single piece of mouse droppings ruin a pot of soup. You can also fully mobilize the people to expose those who have misbehavior or behave differently, and give them appropriate rewards. In this way , unless they can pretend to be nine images, otherwise, they will not be able to escape everyone's eyes. Also, if it is confirmed that they are spies sent by other forces, they can also be allowed to sneak in, but they can't live here Yes, we need to let others know about our strength, so they will be afraid." Yang Chendong also nodded with a smile, and put forward his own experience and opinions.

Chapter 7 and Four Prepare to Meet the Enemy

"Master, this order is good, I will send someone to convey it immediately." Hu Mang felt his eyes light up, and took this opinion into his heart.

Yang Chendong, who was flattered again, laughed, but before he could say anything more, the reconnaissance battalion commander Xu Yunsheng rode over from the other side of the street at high speed.

Although Shicheng City is still under construction, there are indeed rules established, and cavalry are not allowed to cross the street without incident, but some people are always exceptions, such as cavalry troops who have received military orders, or brothers from the reconnaissance battalion. .

The fighters of the reconnaissance battalion, who are in contact with the front line of battlefield intelligence, naturally have some privileges in order to spread the news as soon as possible.Xu Yunsheng came on horseback, which originally indicated that something big must have happened.

Everyone stood still, and the soldiers of the guard formed a faint circle to protect Yang Chendong closely. This has formed a habit. Once something unexpected happens, if you want to get close to Master Six, At least you need to pay several times the price to do it.

"Woo!" The voice came out from Xu Yunsheng's mouth, and the others fell in front of Yang Chendong, and said after a standard military salute: "Sixth young master, there is an urgent military situation ahead."

"Notify all regiment, battalion and above senior officers to hold a meeting in the war room." Yang Chendong also became serious, speaking with a slightly serious voice.

In the newly built large meeting room in Shicheng, in just half an hour, the main responsible cadres of the four regiments in the city gathered here.The audience was seated in a dignified position, and from a distance, a group of school officials flashed.

Hu Mang, head of the Gouli Regiment, and Xin Honghai, deputy head; Ye La, head of the Jurchen Cavalry Regiment, and Liu Dai, deputy head of the Jurchen Cavalry Regiment; Zhui Feng, head of the first regiment of cavalry reinforcements, Deng Yu, commander of the first battalion, and Gao Danhua, commander of the second battalion Hu Lu, Commander of the Third Battalion; Lu Zhuo, Commander of the Second Cavalry Strengthening Regiment, Ma Xiongshan, Commander of the First Battalion, Ding Shan, Commander of the Second Battalion, and Temur, Commander of the Third Battalion, were all present.

Yang Chendong presided over the meeting, and the reconnaissance battalion commander Xu Yunsheng introduced the enemy's situation.

Xu Yunsheng held a slender wooden root in his hand, drew it towards a huge map hanging high in the conference room and said loudly: "Everyone, the scouts and soldiers ahead report that Agadorzi led 2 cavalrymen to the beginning of the war. The investigation revealed that there are about 5000 elite cavalry and [-] ordinary cavalry, and it is estimated that it will take today, tomorrow, and the next three days to arrive at the West River west of Shicheng at noon the day after tomorrow.”

After introducing the information, Xu Yunsheng paid a standard military salute to Yang Chendong, then returned to his original seat and sat down, waiting for the military order to be issued.

After the introduction of the battle report, the voices of discussion among the higher-ranking officers of the battalion below quickly rang out.It can be seen that everyone has a look of excitement. After staying for fifty days, a battle is finally about to be fought. All of them are militants. Ma couldn't appear on the battlefield in the next moment and fight the enemy for [-] rounds.

Yang Chendong didn't mean to stop everyone from discussing together, on the contrary, he watched with great interest, he wanted to understand everyone's mentality as soon as possible through observation.What satisfied him was that none of the officers showed any fear or fear.

Military Heart is available.

As soon as this word jumped into Yang Chendong's mind, he knew that although this battle was a bit bitter, it was not a good time for their mercenaries to show their prestige. "Okay, since you don't have any opinions, then the young master will make a decision, fight! Do you have any questions?"

"No." Sure enough, the voices below were extremely unified, shouting with their mouths open.

No one objected, Yang Chendong also stood up, and then led everyone to the three-dimensional sand table beside him, and then Yang Chendong, who was wielding a stick in his hand, kept waving his fingers, "The north of Shicheng is the north slope, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Make a fuss; the West River in the west has just had heavy rain two days ago, and the river is rising rapidly, which can just stop the opponent's frontal attack, and it can also make a fuss; the Nanlin in the south is suitable for hiding an army, and can be used as a surprise soldier at critical times To kill the enemy, you can also use..."

"This time the number of enemy cavalry is three times that of ours. It is absolutely impossible to fight recklessly. Even if we can repel the enemy, it will be a miserable victory in the end. And this time is our first real battle based on the grassland. Maybe Victory does not allow defeat, so all officers and soldiers are required not to underestimate the enemy. Everyone needs to be cautious. Fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield and make achievements. After training for so long, it is finally time for us to perform. Now I order ..."

"Shua!" All the officers above the battalion straightened their bodies, and looked closely at Yang Chendong, all of them puffed out their chests, expressing their most confident side perfectly, as if they were afraid that they would be wronged. Be careful, the performance is weak, and the task of not being able to get the main attack is average.

"I order..." Yang Chendong kept making voices, and he arranged military orders one after another. The officers who took the orders nodded and answered yes. The large nets centered on Shicheng and spread outward. go...

Nearly [-] cavalry from Agadorji's department came in a mighty force, driving on the vast grassland.Wherever they went, the scattered grassland herdsmen all fled. Some even had to leave the sheepfolds in order to escape. They came all the way, and the army looted thousands of sheep and horses.

"Slaughter, all slaughter, let me know, make a good meal, and satisfy the warriors. I will celebrate everyone after I take down Shicheng." Agadorji said in a tone of buying people's hearts ordered.Then he turned around and looked at Su He and his son Hara Ruo who were beside him and asked, "The vanguard brought by General Ge Lang should be arriving at Shicheng soon, right?"

"Yes, according to the schedule, he should have reached the West River, and he should be looking for tools to cross the river." After Su He agreed, his face continued to darken.He is also the only one who is not optimistic about this battle.During the period of alliance with Wala Yexian, he learned more than once from the opponent's general about their experience of fighting mercenaries three years ago.And the more he understood, the more he knew how powerful and powerful the mercenaries were.

It can be said that the original Oirat's troops left with the power of a great victory, and they were all cavalry, with an absolute advantage in speed.But in front of the mercenaries whose numbers were many times smaller than theirs, they were still defeated, so he didn't think they would be able to take advantage of their numbers this time.

It's just that now they really have nowhere to go.At present, the closest ones to them are the mercenaries in Shicheng who are the most suitable enemies in terms of their strength. If you want to get out of the predicament in front of you, you can only fight with them. .

"Xihe? Very good. I hope that General Grande will find a way to cross the river sooner. In this way, our army can go straight in and kill Shicheng Gate. By the way, I also heard that there is a section outside Shicheng City." The wall has not been completely built, and our cavalry can enter the city from there, and then everything in the city will be ours, hahaha." Agadorji laughed wildly on the horse, as if At this moment, he has won the victory, it seems that at this moment the mercenaries have let him be their fish.

The reason why Agadorji is so confident is that he has three times as many cavalry as the opponent.He was thinking in his heart, even if the opponent has a bursting musket, as long as the formation is set up, with the speed and numbers of cavalry, how many people can the opponent kill in a short period of time, and once the opponent rushes together , That is the time when they fish each other. At that time, the advantage of the number of cavalry will be maximized, and the victory will eventually belong to them.

And there is another point, Agadorji did not say it, that is, he actually looked down on the Han people in his bones, even if the Han people were loyal and courageous, and had the name of the God of War.

Everyone knows that the grassland people eat meat, kill cows and wolves, and are fierce and fierce.

Since ancient times, the Han people have taken farming as their vocation, they are honest and honest, and they are vegetarians.It is inherently difficult to be the opponent of the grassland nation.

Unless there are talented emperors and victorious generals, the Han nationality can defeat the grassland nation.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to drive away Mongolia and return to the Mongolian grassland. Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mongolia could only weaken Mongolia's fur. With a shot, he almost captured Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen alive.Throughout the Ming Dynasty, in the war with Mongolia, there were fewer victories and more losses. Over time, the strength also ebbed and flowed.

With the facts of these martyrs in front of him, it would be no harm for Agadorji to be more confident.Not to mention, this time he brought a force that was more than three times superior to the opponent, but he didn't know that he exaggerated his own advantage too much and looked down on the opponent. Such underestimation of the enemy would only make him suffer even worse. It will enter the realm of eternal doom earlier.Because he didn't count the muskets in the hands of the mercenaries.

In the era of cold weapons, the Mongolian cavalry was invincible and fought all over the world.Even Russia is also a slave of the Mongols. The Golden Horde has ruled Russia for nearly 300 years. Every time the Russian nobles kneel down to see the Mongols, the Mongols burn, kill, and loot in Russia. Bag.

Times have changed, the times have changed, and the western world has entered the era of heat and weapons. The muskets and cannons are infinitely powerful, and a large number of cavalrymen died in one blow.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan killed Nurhachi with cannons, and the Eight Banners were like scarecrows in front of Yuan Chonghuan.During the Opium War, the British army numbered in the thousands and defeated the Qing army of more than 100 million.At that time, tens of thousands of Mongolian elites under the leadership of Seng Gelinqin besieged hundreds of British troops. What happened?The invincible Mongolian cavalry was wiped out, and only a few British soldiers died.In the face of modernization, the Mongols are a joke.When Russia was in Ivan the Terrible, it learned from the West, equipped with muskets, and conquered Siberia. Whoever holds a knife is an opponent with a gun?A few hundred Russians wiped out the Mongols in Siberia, and Russia has since become a great empire spanning Eurasia.The Manchu Dynasty lost the country for 300 years. When China needed strength the most, it was weakened. Alas.

Chapter 7 and Five

This is the powerful power of muskets used in actual combat.

Of course, muskets are not omnipotent. As long as the soldiers are united and fearless of life and death, it is not impossible to make a comeback if the number advantage is sufficient.But the question is, what kind of fighting spirit and fighting spirit is needed to do this?

At least Agadorji couldn't do it.

Fortunately, Yang Chendong, whom he regarded as an enemy, had no intention of defending the city. He also wanted to take the opportunity to train his cavalry army and decided to go out of the city to fight.And if he is willing to defend, and is willing to stay in Shicheng and not come out, let alone the opponent's [-] cavalry, even if he comes with another [-] cavalry, he will not be able to take advantage of the slightest advantage.

The advantage of muskets is more than defense, especially when facing fast-moving cavalry, attacking against attack is tantamount to giving up most of your advantages.But Yang Chendong still wants to do this, which in itself proves his confidence in the strength of his cavalry.

Perhaps in his opinion, even if it is a cavalry hedge, even in the most primitive way, his mercenaries are the strongest in the world.

Of course, Yang Chendong just wanted to use this to train his cavalry, not really wanting to use their strengths to avoid weaknesses. He knew when to use the original way to fight.Just like in the Xihe war zone, he used his musket and confronted the five thousand enemy cavalry brought by Ge Lang and him from across the river.

Grand's qualification as a vanguard general did not mean that he was so brave and good at fighting, but it was because Su He didn't fight for it and disdained it.After all, he is a touchstone, a stepping stone to test the strength of mercenaries.

In front of the mercenaries, Ge Lang became a whetstone, but he didn't know it.

After hearing the news long ago and making arrangements, when Ge Lang brought [-] cavalry to the front of the West River, what he saw was the mercenary army stationed here on the other side of the river.This is exactly what the independent regiment led by Humang is headed.There are sixteen battalions in a regiment, so they have already surpassed the establishment of ordinary regiments or even divisions.

The two sides faced each other across the river. Facing such a powerful opponent, after Grand sneered, he immediately arranged for the cavalry to look for trees and make rafts to prepare for crossing the river.

The pride of being a Mongolian in the grassland made Ge Lang not pay attention to the more than 6000 enemies on the opposite side.He noticed that the other party's camp was still three miles away from the river.And if he can cross the river on a raft in the first place, he can even kill the enemy army through the West River, and it is very possible to get a good start in a way that does not expect it.

"Report to the general, our cavalry has tried it. There are two places where the river bed is relatively high, and the current is not rushing. We should be able to rush directly across the water." A commander quietly came to Grand's side, excited, Reporting in a low voice.

"What?" Grand, who was standing by the river on horseback and looking at the opposing camp, suddenly heard what he meant, and his eyes suddenly widened.
