Chapter 555: Military Might
Dezhou, 12 companies and battalions, only 100,000 soldiers, waiting for the Duke of Fuguo to accompany the Timurid Empire's envoys on the parade
This day, Gaisuyaddin has also been looking forward to it for a long time, he is a brave general under the command of Timur, following Timur to conquer the east and west, and repeatedly made military exploits, he is a general with both wisdom and bravery, and Timur sent him as a deputy envoy, it is to see this. Although the military parade is largely performative, in terms of the army's armament and military discipline training, with Gai Suyaddin's vision, he can naturally assess the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, which cannot be concealed from a great expert like him who has experienced a hundred battles and has seen the tactics and tactics of countless countries.
At the beginning of March, the weather was early, the rivers had just thawed, the big places were revived, the willow branches spit out a little new shoots, and the military parade began in Texas.
Participating in the exercise were soldiers selected from the 5th Military Battalion, 3000 Battalion, and Shenji Battalion of the Beijing Division, samurai transferred from Chōu, a soldier who guarded the border, and soldiers transferred from Chōu in Shandong, Hebei, and Henan, as well as "coyote soldiers" and white pole soldiers transferred from Guangxi, Yunnan, and Sichuan, as well as the training team of the Minzhuang Regiment in Shandong.
Standing on the high platform of the martial arts, Gaisuyaddin personally witnessed the various tactical tactics of the Ming army's cavalry outflanking, infantry assault, infantry and cavalry combined attack, and cold and hot weapons to cooperate in combat.
"Bang bang, bang! Rumble! ”
The sound of gunfire and cannons on the battlefield was endless, and the thick smoke rose with the wind, filling most of the sky, and the group of puppeteers who were targets in front of them had been beaten to pieces.
It was the first time that Gaisuyaddin had seen such sharp firearms, and after the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, firearms craftsmen had invented a variety of firearms on the basis of traditional firearms.
Through actual combat exercises, the Shenji Battalion selected some powerful ones, which are easy to transport, use, and use, and used as conventional combat weapons, such as the Tiger Cannon, the fire dragon gun for cavalry, the Katyusha rocket artillery of the Ming Dynasty, the fire dragon car, and the gun-carrying fire theory......
The three-stage shè attack of the first team of the fire women's team, the equipment of the second team, and the loading of the second team made the guns and bullets like a rapid storm and rain, and the rain was endless, with the deafening roar of the tiger cannon, Gai Suyedin couldn't help but change his eyes, of course he could see how terrible the lethality of such a firearm was, and even the loud sound of the guns was the key factor in determining the victory or defeat of the battlefield.
Such a picture had already appeared in Gaisueddin's mind: he led thousands of Timur iron horsemen, drew sharp scimitars, and rode majestic Arabian war horses, like a gust of wind, and suddenly there was a rain of bullets and stones in front of him, accompanied by a huge roar, and those war horses, who had never heard such a loud noise, were in a mess, trampling on each other, and rushing to the front of the enemy without waiting for thousands of horses...... They trampled on each other and died countless times. @本章节孤独手打@
Gaisueddin stroked his beard and secretly turned his thoughts: "Yù and Da are enemies again, we must let our war horses adapt to such a roar......
"Whew~"
A burst of soaring flames filled the space more than ten zhang in front of him, and Gaisuedin's hand froze on his beard: "This ...... How is it as terrible as the devil's Greek fire? Encounter such a flaming chariot...... How to resist it? "If you fight in the field, such chariots are inconvenient, and you can use the advantage ......of cavalry to drag them down." No wind...... Once we attack, the Ming will be the defender, relying on the strong and tall city, if you add such a spray train......"
Gaisuedin's brow furrowed slightly, and for a moment, he couldn't think of what kind of weapon to use to deal with such an advanced weapon.
Subsequently, the coyote soldiers and the white pole soldiers performed the training items of the infantry crossbow Qi shè and the spear infantry assassinating and resisting the enemy, Gaisuedin's brows furrowed even tighter, just now he had already seen the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of cavalry alone, whether it was equestrianism or the war horse itself, it was slightly inferior to their horse nation.
This is normal, the cavalry team of an agrarian nation, if the overall quality of the cavalry is higher than that of their nomads, it is really too rebellious, but if it is combined with this kind of crossbow and pikemen, it can completely offset the strength of their invincible cavalry of the Timurid Empire, not only light cavalry, if the Ming army is equipped with a few more heavy artillery between pikemen and crossbowmen and cavalry, I am afraid that the heavy cavalry will also ......
Gaisuyaddin and Ulaanba Rijiāo changed their eyes, and they were both awe-inspiring
Seeing the grand military might of the Ming army, Aldusha couldn't help but sigh to Gaisuyaddin in their language: "The Ming army is well-dressed and neat, so powerful, the enemy that the Khan has faced is unprecedented." ”
Gaisuedin listened to it and suddenly felt a pang in his heart, he had just seen it, but he didn't think deeply, at this time Aldusha's emotion triggered his feelings, he noticed that these Ming troops, nearly 100,000 Ming troops, tall, short, fat and thin are almost the same, what does this mean? This means that the Ming Dynasty has a sufficient supply of troops, and these military exercises are not an army that is transferred from anywhere at will, but is selected from different armies.
Its standard is not only brave and good at fighting, but also to meet the requirements of tall, short, fat and thin, so the army in front of them is brave, but it does not necessarily represent the highest combat effectiveness of the Ming army, the reason why they appear here, is to meet the unified condition of body size, according to this calculation, how many good fighting troops does the Ming have? Looking at their clothing and armor, they are all brand new and shiny, if the Ming Dynasty does not have sufficient national strength, can it provide 100,000 sets of brand new uniforms and armor at any time? Which Ding's heart was dignified, and from the data of this appearance, he continued to estimate the military strength of Da Ming Zhenyou, and Aldusha said: "Fang Cai, Fu Guogong said that this is 100,000 horses, right?" When the Great Khan fought against Bayezet, the 'Lightning' Bayezet used the most troops, and the cavalry, musketeers, and war elephant troops totaled only 150,000 people, and it only took a month for the Ming Dynasty to mobilize 100,000 generals to gather here......"
As a military general, he knew better than Althusha, that the maximum number of troops that the Great Khan could muster, excluding the troops that had to be used to defend the homeland, was only about 200,000 men, and that the more would have to be mobilized by Chōu the young and strong laborers responsible for farming and grazing, which were necessary to maintain the basic survival of the country.
In fact, after Timur's expedition, the number of troops was only about 200,000, and the remaining hundreds of thousands were logistics personnel and herdsmen, because he also drove millions of cattle and sheep.
When those Shandong Minzhuang, who were very martial and martial style, also came to the field, seeing their neat team and the heroic posture of bravely rushing to kill, Gaisuedin's will was finally shaken, he pondered for a long time, and turned his head to Aldusha in the sound of shouting and killing in the majestic mountains and rivers...... Buried in the hands of the Ming army! Prime Minister, I think that our only mission in the East this time is to dissuade the Great Khan from giving up the Eastern Crusade! ”
Aldusha had a shocked face, nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, General Gaisuyaddin, I completely agree with you, we must dissuade the Great Khan, we must give up our ambitions for the Great Ming, otherwise we will become sinners of the empire!" ”
When Ulan Bari heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, General, the Great Khan has ruled the world and has never met the enemy, how can we be frightened by a military exercise of the Ming army, we ......"
Aldusha glanced at him coldly and scolded: "I am talking to General Gaisuyadin, how can you have your part!" ”
Turning his head, Aldushah said to Qasuyaddin casually: "These people who fled from the east just want to avenge them with the help of the Great Khan's power, it's really strange how the Great Khan would favor such a guy." ”
Gaisueddin shrugged.
In the Taibai Restaurant in Texas, Ulan Bari lives alone at a table, most of the wine on the table has been drunk, his two eyes are already red, and he is still drunk and still pouring.
He didn't expect that Aldusha, the old hún egg and Gaisuyaddin, a vain general, would actually retreat after seeing the might of the Ming army, and wanted to dissuade Emperor Timur from giving up the Eastern Crusade, shame!
Back then, he left his hometown and went to the Western Regions, for what? In order to leave that cowardly father and find a wise king, to avenge his eldest brother and his own bullied people, but now...... Will Timur Khan insist on the Eastern Crusade, or will he listen to the words of these two close ministers?
Ulaanbah was unsure.
At the other table, a few strong men came over and shouted: "Xiao Er, just bring good wine and good food, hurry up!" ”
Ulan Bari glanced at them with red eyes, although they were all in civilian clothes, but looking at the demeanor of the line, they should all be military attachés, at present, in addition to the local army, the Texas barracks are stationed in a lot of troops from other places, with a total of more than 150,000 people, and more than eighty percent of the men wandering around in this city are officers in civilian clothes.
Ulan Bari ignored them, just picked up the bowl, and the brocade bar yellow mén was hand-beaten. Another bowl of spirits.
I listened to a few men at the table next to me talking and laughing: "Brother Fang Dog, the two of us haven't seen each other for a few days, since the emperor raised troops and waved the army south, I was ordered to guard Beiping, but your brother went south with the emperor, and now if it weren't for the military parade of the grandfather of the auxiliary country, we wouldn't have had a chance to meet again, we must have a good drink today, the younger brother has a treat, and he is not drunk and has no return."
"Haha, okay, brother listens to you. I said Brother Xu, when I left Beiping, you were still a small school, and now you have made the general flag. ”
"Big brother, are you ashamed of me? You have made a hundred households now, can you compare? Don't look at my brother, who is just guarding in Beiping, it seems to be very idle, but Li Jinglong's 100,000-strong army is besieging the city, and my brother has also survived several times in death, hey, look at it, this scar on my neck, hey! I'm going to have a great chance to survive. ”
Another person said: "Yes, it is not easy for us brothers, who followed the emperor in the past, which one is not a big change now." But to say that the biggest change is our grandfather of the auxiliary country, haha, I heard that the grandfather of the auxiliary country couldn't enter the palace at the beginning, and then he pretended to be a guy who sent fox skins in the fur shop at the big mén mouth, and the little county lord of the Xu family came out, and then he entered the palace, and the people ...... Fish leaping dragon mén, a little to the sky! ”
Then one of them smiled and said: "Feng Laosan, don't be envious of this matter, you can't compare with the merits of the Auxiliary Guogong." Why did Fu Guogong trick Mén into entering the mansion in the first place? Because ......"
This person obviously knew the details, he told Xia Xun in detail about how he had saved King Yan, which attracted everyone's admiration, and Ulan Bari at the next table had already pricked up his ears when he heard the name Xiri Bari, and when he heard this, he was already full of anger, and a murderous aura suddenly swept over his blood-red eyes!
