Chapter 119: The Man Wins the Horse's Hoof
To tell the truth, the biggest convenience of the three-eyed firearm in the border army is that after he is empty, he can pick it up and use it as an iron rod. And not what power the Three-Eyed Fire Gun has.
With the power of the firearms of this era, the cavalry should not think about the hit rate when they release the guns immediately.
It's more about alarming the opponent's horses, or scaring the opponent, and then gaining the upper hand when the fight is due. Now Shaofu is equipped with a cavalry firearm, which is all handcuffs.
It is generally said that a rope is tied to the saddle, and before the battle, it is first loaded, and the fire rope is lit, and when it is ready to fight, it can be thrown away.
Although it is a gun, it looks a little worse than the three-eyed fire gun that can hit three guns at once.
But the power of this firearm is good, within a dozen steps, there is still a little bit of accuracy, so as not to really scare people.
Shi Heng asked again: "The silver is missing from you." ”
Jin Fandeng shook his head even more and said: "No, the whole army has never been short of a penny of silver. ”
On average, each soldier received a tael of silver a month.
One or two pieces of silver may not seem to be much, but in the north, one acre of land is only two or three stones of grain a year, and the people are more about food and clothing, and the difference in the basic price of one or two pieces of silver can probably be exchanged for three to four stones of grain, that is, the net income of four or five acres of land
That's a lot of money.
To say a polite word, it is enough to buy a life
Shi Heng said: "In this case, even if the tile spur is twice as large as mine, will our army definitely lose to the tile thorn?" ”
Jin Fandeng's heart suddenly moved.
At this moment, he had a feeling that the Ming army of Ming orthodoxy 14 years ago and the Ming army today have not changed much in the border army, but in the Beijing camp, it is a qualitative change.
This kind of change, many people are not clear, it seems to be silent, but when I look back at this moment, I know, oh, it turns out that there has been such a big change.
After 14 years of orthodoxy, Zhu Qizhen rebuilt the Beijing camp, and over the years, 30 million taels were smashed into it. What is this number, is the number of water conservancy projects that can be completed in Hebei.
If before, there were too many recruits in the Beijing camp, and the combat effectiveness had not been fully exerted, but after several years of large and small battles, it was like sharpening a knife, and it had already opened the front for the Beijing camp.
It's just that a lot of people are a little slow to react to this change.
The reason why Shi Heng is arrogant, in the eyes of outsiders, is that he has felt this feeling during the past few years of fighting. When the soldiers are three days apart, they should be impressed, let alone six years of military reorganization.
How could it be ineffective?
This time, it was Shi Heng who dared to gamble with Ye first.
He gambled that he would be the bait himself, and he would not eat it first.
As for reinforcements, Shi Heng was never worried.
Because he knows Yang Hong.
The so-called gentleman can be deceived in a way. Yang Hong is a person who focuses on the overall situation, and he is how unwilling he is to take this action, but for the sake of the overall situation, he will come to the rescue as soon as possible.
If Yang Hong abandons his baggage and pursues with cavalry, Shi Heng estimates that the distance between Yang Hong and Guo Deng's two divisions and him will only be about five days.
Shi Heng seems to be in danger, but he is actually very sober.
Equally sober is also the first.
I also heard Shi Heng chasing after him first, and he had already passed the sudden loss of temperature. Suddenly sneered, and said, "What a Shi Heng, do you really think that I will also grow old first?" ”
He also cleared the field first, retreated step by step, seemingly weak and bullied, but in fact, he always wanted a major victory. I also know first that it is not easy for him to fight any Ming army alone, and it is not easy to win the battle, and if he wants to encircle and annihilate one, it will take time.
In the end, the Ming army was pulled away from the front and back, and then broken one by one.
Therefore, for this war, he moved away the herdsmen of all the tribes. All head north and recuperate in the places where some of the lakes in the north are located.
There are quite a few lakes in northern Mongolia. In winter, it is naturally a land of ice and snow, but at the turn of spring and summer, nature is the season to live.
First of all, troops and horses were drawn from various places
Now Shi Heng has to face not 100,000 thorns, but 130,000.
Azi Timur returned from the Western Regions, bringing with him 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Western Regions.
If the Ming army was marching step by step and did not go deeper, when the Ming army retreated, there would also be a counteroffensive first. But now Shi Heng's actions, although he was in the middle of the first, he also felt deep contempt
The routine used first is not a new trick at all, and the Ming army almost closed his eyes up and down, and he could see the greasy in it, but Shi Heng's actions were almost naked provocations.
Let's also first how not to get angry.
Azi Timur said: "Father, please be the vanguard and break Shiheng." ”
I also glanced at Azi Timur first, and I was a little satisfied. He has always felt that his son is very much like himself, especially when it comes to fighting.
Azi Timur sat in the Western Regions, did not fight less, and in the battles with the tribes of the Western Regions, he was invincible, and stabilized the rear for the Watts.
It also brings a lot of prestige to the tile spurs.
Even if the tile spurs were repeatedly frustrated on the Eastern Front, the ministries did not dare to act rashly.
Azi Timur has grown into a pillar of the Thorn and the Ross family, which makes Yexian very pleased. It's just that in the eyes of Yexian, Azi Timur is still a little less spicy. He also shook his head first and said, "No, not yet, because Shi Heng is not enough to go west." ”
"The distance between Yang Hongguo Deng and Shi Heng is not far enough, so the final battlefield is not here."
Azi Timur asked, "What does the emperor mean, where is this battlefield placed?" ”
He first glanced at the map, and finally landed on a place, and said with a light touch of his finger: "Here it is." ”
Azi Timur looked down, but it was Hangai Mountain, that is, Yanran Mountain.
It is the Yanran Mountain of Le Shi Yanran.
It is an important mountain range in Mobei, which runs northwest and southeast, and is the natural dividing line of Mongolia underwater. It's a little farther away than it is now.
It is also the place where Shi Heng prepared for the decisive battle.
He also got up suddenly, slapped his hands on the table, and said sharply: "Order all departments, go northwest overnight, I want to see if Shi Heng dares to chase after him." ”
The Mongols have used this method of attracting people to chase and then reflexively strike at each other, I don't know how many times.
It's never a secret.
At this moment, it is time to test a person's courage.
If Shi Heng didn't chase him, he would let go of the main force of the tile spur. Everything he had done before had been done halfway. If Shi Heng chases, then Shi Heng will face it very simply.
A decisive battle that turns in a chase battle.
After the Ming army continued to consume horsepower, there was another decisive battle.
The tile spur is far above Shi Heng in terms of horsepower reserves, and after this attack, Shi Heng will face the counterattack of the tile spur army at a disadvantage.
Such a situation is simply a conspiracy.
If Yang Hong is here.
It will definitely be reined in from the precipice.
But Shi Heng's face was flushed with excitement, and he ordered that all the cattle and sheep in the future would be killed, everyone would eat meat, and everyone's grain would be lightly loaded, and they would bring half a month's grain.
Because Shi Heng estimated that this battle, no matter how it was fought, would inevitably end in half a month.
In the event of victory, there will naturally be enough loot.
If it fails, there will be no one to eat more food.
After making these preparations, Shi Heng naturally chased after him.
And the one who chased after him was Yang Hong's messenger all the way, Shi Heng was nowhere to be seen, but Yang Hong also heard Shi Heng's actions from the mouths of these people.
Yang Hong's face was black that day.
Shi Heng gambled the lives of 50,000 elite soldiers for a big victory, and he didn't think about what it would be like if he lost the bet.
He didn't want to, Yang Hong wanted to.
Yang Hong could only sigh and said secretly: "I can't help but gamble with Shi Heng." ”
He really didn't know how his lord would face the mouth of the world after Shi Heng's entire army was destroyed, and he said that he had to learn to become a prince of the country.
Therefore, in order not to fall into the situation of Chengguo Gong, he gave an order to put the baggage in the back, and he and Guo Deng led 80,000 cavalry to chase Shi Heng
It's just that the road between Shi Heng and them is a bit long.
Even if they start to hurry up now, they may not be able to arrive before the outbreak of the war. The so-called distant water can't save the thirst of the near, and the real victory or defeat still depends on Shi Heng and Ye first.
