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

Yang Chendong, who was invisibly slapped on the back again, smiled, but before he could continue to say anything, the reconnaissance battalion commander Xu Yunsheng rode a horse and came quickly from the other side of the street.

Although the city is still under construction, it is true that there is a rule that cavalry is not allowed to cross the streets without incident, but there are always some exceptions, such as the cavalry team that has received military orders, and the brothers of 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 let the news be disseminated as soon as possible. Xu Yunsheng came on horseback, which originally indicated that something big must have happened.

Everyone stood firm and stopped, and the soldiers of the guard team faintly formed a half-circle, protecting Yang Chendong closely, which has formed a habit, once there is any accident, if you want to get close to the sixth young master, you need to pay at least several times the price to do it.

"Phew!" The voice came out of Xu Yunsheng's mouth, and the others fell in front of Yang Chendong, and after a standard military salute, he said, "Sixth Young Master, there is an emergency military situation ahead." ”

"Notify all officers at and above the regimental, battalion and senior levels of the war room to hold a meeting." Yang Chendong was also much more serious, and said in a slightly serious voice.

In the newly built spacious conference room in the city, it was only half an hour, and the main responsible cadres of the four regiments in the city were gathered here. The audience was seated, and from a distance, a group of school officials flashed.

Hu Mang, head of the Dog Regiment, and Xin Honghai, deputy head of the Dog Regiment; Ye La, head of the Jurchen cavalry regiment, and Liu Dai, deputy head of the regiment; The cavalry strengthened the commander of the first regiment, Chaifeng, the commander of the first battalion, Deng Yu, the commander of the first battalion, Gao Danhua, the commander of the second battalion, and Hu Lu, the commander of the third battalion; Lu Zhuo, commander of the 2nd Cavalry Reinforced Regiment, Ma Xiongshan, commander of the 1st Battalion, Ding Shan, commander of the 2nd Battalion, and Temur, commander of the 3rd Battalion, were all present.

Yang Chendong presided over the meeting, and Xu Yunsheng, commander of the reconnaissance battalion, gave a briefing on the enemy's situation.

Xu Yunsheng held a slender wooden root in his hand, and said loudly towards a huge map hanging high in the conference room: "Ladies and gentlemen, the scouts and soldiers in front report that the 45,000 cavalry under the command of Agadorji are rushing to Shicheng, and the investigation has learned that there are about 20,000 elite cavalry and 25,000 ordinary cavalry, and it is expected that it will take today, tomorrow, and three days after tomorrow, and they will arrive at the West River in the west of Shicheng at noon the day after tomorrow." ”

After introducing the information, Xu Yunsheng saluted Yang Chendong with a standard military salute, then returned to his original seat and waited for the military order to be issued.

After this introduction of the battle report, the voices of the officers below below who were at or above the battalion level quickly rang out. It can be seen that everyone is excited, and after staying for fifty days, there is finally a battle to be fought, and all of them are militants, and their faces can be described as red, and they look like they will not appear on the battlefield in the next moment and fight the enemy for 500 rounds.

Yang Chendong did not mean to stop everyone from discussing together, on the contrary, he watched with interest, he wanted to understand everyone's mentality as soon as possible through observation. To his satisfaction, not a single officer of the officers expressed 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 harder, it was not a good time for their mercenaries to establish their authority. "Okay, even if you don't have any opinions, then the young master will make a decision, fight! Do you have any questions? ”

"Nope." Sure enough, the voices below were extremely unified, and they shouted with their mouths open.

No one objected, Yang Chendong also stood up, and then led everyone to the three-dimensional sand table on the side, and then Yang Chendong, who was wielding a stick in his hand, kept waving his fingers, "The north of Shicheng is the north slope, where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and you can make a fuss; In the west of the West River, it had just rained heavily two days ago, and the river water rose rapidly, which was just right to prevent the opponent's frontal attack, and it could also make a fuss; The southern forest in the south is suitable for hiding large armies, and it can be used as a surprise soldier to kill the enemy at a critical time, and it can also be used..."

"This time the enemy has three times as many cavalry as ours, and it is absolutely impossible to fight hard, so even if we can repel the enemy, we will win a crushing victory in the end. And this time is the first battle in the true sense of our foothold on the grassland, and we must not lose if we win, so we require all officers and soldiers not to have the idea of underestimating the enemy, and we need to be cautious, and fight bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. After training for so long, it's finally time for us to perform, and now I command..."

"Huh!" All the officers above the battalion level straightened their bodies, looked at Yang Chendong's body tightly, and all of them held their chests high, expressing their most confident side perfectly, as if they were afraid that they would be careless, and their performance would be weak, and they would not be able to get the main attack task.

"I order..."Yang Chendong's mouth kept making sounds, and one after another military orders were arranged by him, and the officers who received the orders nodded yes, and the big nets centered on Shicheng expanded outward...

Nearly 50,000 cavalry came from the headquarters of Agadorji and drove on the vast grassland. Everywhere they went, the scattered grassland herdsmen all fled in despair, and some even had to leave the sheepfold in order to escape.

"Slaughter, slaughter all, notify me, make a good meal, relieve the hunger of the warriors, and wait for the first city to be taken, I am celebrating everyone." Agadorji commanded in a tone of buying people's hearts. Then he turned to look at Su He and his son Hara Ruochu beside him and asked, "The vanguard led by General Grand should be about to arrive in Shicheng, right?" ”

"Yes, according to the schedule, he should arrive at the West River, and he should be looking for tools to cross the river." After Su He agreed, his face continued to darken. He was also the only one of them who was not optimistic about this battle. During the period of alliance with the Waraya First Division, he had learned more than once from the opposing generals about their experience of fighting mercenaries three years ago. And the more he knew, the more he knew how powerful and powerful the mercenaries were.

At the beginning, the Warat Department can be said to have gone with the power of a great victory, and they were all cavalry, with an absolute advantage in speed. However, in front of the mercenaries, who were many times smaller than them, they still returned with a feather of feathers, so he didn't think that this time they would be able to take advantage of the numerical advantage.

Only now they really have no way out. At present, the closest to them, the most suitable to be the enemy in terms of strength is only the mercenaries of Shicheng, if you want to get rid of the current predicament, you can only fight with them, as for victory or not, do your best to obey the fate of heaven.

"West River? Very well, I hope that General Grand will find a way to cross the river sooner, so that our army can go straight into the city and kill under the gate of the first city. By the way, I also heard that there is still a section of the outer wall in the city that has not been completely built, and our cavalry can kill from there to enter the city at that time, and at that time, everything in the city will be ours, hahaha. Agadorji laughed wildly on his horse, as if he had won at this moment, as if the mercenaries had been left to his own devices.

The reason why Agadorji was so confident was that he had three times as many cavalry as his opponent. He was thinking in his heart, even if the other party had a repeating musket, as long as the formation was opened, with the speed and numerical advantage of the cavalry, how many people could the other party kill in a short time, and once the other party hedged together, it would be the time for them to fish each other, and at that time the numerical advantage of the cavalry would be maximized, and the victory would still belong to them.

And there is another point that Agadorji did not say, that is, he actually despises the Han people in his bones, even if this Han man is a loyal and courageous man of the Ming Dynasty and has the name of the god of war.

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

Since ancient times, the Han nationality has taken farming as its vocation, is loyal and honest, and belongs to vegetarians. It is inherently difficult to be the opponent of the steppe peoples.

Unless there are eloquent emperors and famous generals who have won a hundred battles, the Han people can defeat the grassland peoples.

I think that Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to drive away Mongolia and return to the Mongolian steppe, Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mongolia were only to weaken Mongolia's fur, and twenty years later, he also defeated the Ming army in Tumubao, if it wasn't for Yang Chendong's timely action, he almost captured Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen alive. The entire Ming Dynasty and the war between the two sides of the Mongols, won less and lost more, and the strength of the two sides was also long and long.

With the facts of these martyrs in front of him, it would not hurt for Agadorji to be more confident. Not to mention, this time he brought more than three times the strength of the other party, but he didn't know that exaggerating his advantages and looking down on the other party would only make him lose more miserably, and he would only enter the realm of no return earlier. Because he did not count the muskets in the hands of the mercenaries.

In the era of cold weapons, the Mongolian cavalry was invincible in the world and fought all over the world. It is Russia, and it is also a slave of the Mongols, the Golden Horde has ruled Russia for nearly three hundred years, and every time the Russian nobles kneel to see the Mongols, the Mongols burn, kill and loot in Russia, and do all kinds of evil, and the Russians dare not speak out, which is a coward.

The stars have changed, the times have changed, the Western world has entered the era of hot weapons, muskets and cannons are infinitely powerful, and a large number of cavalry have died after a single cannon. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan killed Nurhachi with a cannon, and the children of the Eight Banners were a scarecrow in front of Yuan Chonghuan. During the Opium War, the British army numbered a few thousand men and defeated more than one million Qing troops. At that time, tens of thousands of Mongolian elites besieged a British army of several hundred people under the leadership of Seng Lingqin, and the result? The victorious Mongol cavalry was completely annihilated, and the British lost no more than a few people. In the face of modernization, the Mongols are a joke. Russia, when Ivan the Terrible, learned from the West, armed with muskets, conquered Siberia, and who was the opponent with a gun with a knife? A few hundred Russians wiped out the Mongols in Siberia, and Russia became a great empire across the Eurasian continent. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was misguided for 300 years, and when China needed it the most, it was weakened, and it was mournful.
