Min Yuanzhi was as tired as if he had fallen apart at noon, and the soldiers around him also felt similar to him.

The three consecutive days of back-and-forth raids had exhausted the physical strength and spirit of Min Yuanzhi and the others.

This kind of night attack on the enemy camp, Min Yuanqi has always disagreed.

When discussing the examples of warfare in the past and present, Min Yuanqi believed that night raids on the camp were generally a desperate move by an army that was obviously at a disadvantage.

It is difficult to prepare in a hurry, it is too risky, and it is impossible to distinguish between friend and foe in night battles, and it is easy to distinguish between friend and foe.

Once the enemy is prepared, for example, when encountering Qi Jiguang's level of encampment, or even weaker, it will be mostly in vain.

But Min Yuanqi quite agreed with this cavalry raid, and even gave full support.

The reason is also simple, such repeated, endless raids are an all-round exercise for the ability of cavalry!

Rushing, raiding, resting, getting rid of the enemy's pursuit during the day, hurrying, marching, camping, and raiding at night, is a further level of tempering!

This time, Min Yuanqi did not allow Min Yuan to directly lead all the 200 cavalry to dispatch, the main consideration was that the cavalry harassment tactics this time were quite difficult and the risk was also extremely high.

Whether it is the pursuit of enemy cavalry during the day, or the night attack after nightfall, it is difficult to reach the raid place, and then get rid of the enemy's pursuit, these are extremely risky, and the slightest carelessness can seriously damage or even die.

Although more than 200 cavalry are in battle, they will get the seeds of a large number of cavalry officers in the future, Min Yuanzhi thinks so, although the battle damage will not be low, but the rest, all that survives will be tempered swords, and the brilliance is looming and unstoppable.

But Min Yuanqi still flatly refused.

If you don't have good riding skills, you can barely cut it right away, and if you pull it out, you will give it away, and those who survive must be a minority.

This kind of Gu cultivation method will only make the top and bottom of Yunti Guan feel that Min Yuanqi is risking the lives of his subordinates to fight for his own success. Although it is possible to constantly recruit troops, and even coerce, recruit strong men to strengthen the army, but such an army is still the army that Min Yuanqi wants?

This is not the domain of mercy and non-command.

In order to win, Min Yuanqi was able to send his subordinates to death, and at the critical time, in order to win, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of others, and he was meaningless and benevolent, that is, he missed the opportunity to win, and he may make up for it with more people's lives in the future.

This is the mercy of the army.

But throwing a group of rookies into the battlefield with an indifferent attitude, this is not a mercy not to take charge of the troops, but to throw the lives of his subordinates out like a joke, such a master general is destined to not get the sincere support of the soldiers!

Maybe these more than 200 rides, quite some people want to take the initiative to follow, of course, they are also strictly forbidden.

Min Yuanzhi was still a little unhappy at first, but when these fifty horsemen were as exhausted as him and couldn't even lift their fingers, Min Yuanzhi felt that he was wrong.

If you really take the rest of the rookies to fight together, I'm afraid that you will be almost dead at this time, and you will have to suffer a lot of losses from these good players in front of you.

"Report the numbers!"

Min Yuanzhi rested for a while, drank half a pot of cold water from the kettle, and ordered his subordinates to report the count.

This time the number was forty-seven, but three cavalrymen were lost on the way to be pursued by enemy cavalry, and one horse jumped into the river, but was washed away by the river, and it was not known whether they could escape.

The other two were killed by the enemy horsemen in a white-knuckle battle with the enemy's sentry at noon the day before yesterday.

Another person was shot in the chest by an archer of the enemy battalion during the raid last night, and he was snatched out and died before dawn.

When the soldiers reported the numbers, Min Yuanzhi also kept looking at these subordinates around him.

After two days of high-intensity raids, these cavalrymen were already exhausted, many of them had pale faces, bloodshot eyes, and chapped lips.

This is a high-intensity sleepless battle, extremely nervous, physical discomfort caused by serious physical overdraft, many people's throats are swollen and unable to speak, and there are at least ten or more cavalry fever, these are rare and rare experiences, these diseases on the body, also like an iron mallet, keep ramming out the impurities on everyone's body, so that their spirit is stronger, bolder, more meticulous, and in similar actions in the future, they will be more outstanding.

In fact, it was Min Yuanzhi himself, who also had a lot of discomfort.

Although he is a general, he has also learned to ride and shoot since he was a child, but he has not put much effort into such things, but has used more spirit and spirit to learn the scriptures.

The Min family also wants to show off talents, raise people, and enter the scholars, although it is difficult, it is the only way to change from Jiangmen to an official gentry.

But Min Yuanzhi doesn't like to read, and he likes the things of soldiers, and he has read a lot of serious books on the art of war since he was a child, not Guiguzi, Liutao, Sun Tzu's Art of War and the like boasted by civilian officials, but books such as Wu Beizhi, Ji Xiao Xinshu, and Military Training Records.

When Min Yuanzhi first arrived at the 300th household, he often discussed military science with Min Yuanqi, and later opened a small stove for military attachés, and Min Yuanzhi quickly took up the position of instructor.

This posterity has made rapid progress in his comprehension of military science, and his riding and archery skills are even more rapid every day.

Min Yuanqi is also often amazed, it turns out that there are really people who are born talents.

However, such a long-distance run, day and night, constantly harassing the enemy, chasing back and forth with the sentinels, slashing each other, dodging bows and arrows, and non-stop pursuit...... Yesterday, Liu Zhigan and others were obviously smart, more than 1,000 cavalry were divided into four or five units, pulling away the distance, once they found that Min Yuanzhi and others were divided into separate forces, which also put more pressure on Min Yuanzhi and others.

Many people were injured yesterday, and in front of Min Yuanzhi's eyes, at least ten or more people had broken arrow shafts on their bodies, and the arrows had to wait until they returned to the cloud ladder pass to be cut by the doctor, and the arrows were debrided, and then sterilized, bleeding stopped, and bandaged.

Now these people just wrap the wound with cotton yarn and wrap it with cotton cloth to prevent the wound from becoming dirty.

Even so, the bandaged cotton cloth was dirty.

Everyone's military robes and clothes were torn, and the armor on their bodies was also torn in many places, and the iron helmet was covered with arrow marks.

Someone was wounded with a knife, someone was stabbed with a spear, but fortunately it was not critical.

Not only is everyone tired and sick, but almost everyone is wounded, dirty, bloody, exhausted, and foul-smelling.

But when it came time to report the numbers, these people were still extremely serious, respectful, and full of order.

Not far away, there were several people from the Military Intelligence Department, they were arranged in secret supply points in nearby villages, and the horses of these cavalry were placed in several supply points by the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department, otherwise the horses would have run across or run to death.

At this moment, the men who have always been unruly and unaccustomed to the excessively strict rules in the military can't help but be moved when they see these scarred men honestly reporting the numbers like children.

This is a serious soldier, a soldier cut by a knife and axe, as cold as a stone, and as solid as an iron block!

"You're doing a great job." Min Yuanzhi grinned, although he was also dizzy and rested for just over half an hour, but Min Yuanzhi knew that the more he rested, the stronger the fatigue on his body would be.

"The enemy is already full of sentry horses, and the vanguard is close to eleven hundred, and then we will reach our outer defense line, and then our mission will be over." Min Yuanzhi had a smile on his face, and said to everyone: "When the time comes, I will meet with the other brothers, do not go into defense, and wander around the southern periphery, involved, there is no comfortable life." How do you feel, if you can still ride a horse and carry a knife, you might as well go with me to kill for a while, kill a few more sentry horses, and then frustrate the enemy's spirit, and relieve some pressure on us adults, how about it? ”

Many men who had long been exhausted stood up one by one, although they were still a little shaky, but their eyes were extremely resolute.

A team officer has the best physical fitness, and at this time he replied loudly: "Mr. Bai, you don't need to say too much to us, just one word is enough." The subordinates used to boil salt on the beach from morning to night every day, their eyes were red, and they cried when they saw the wind, and the family was not yet full. I have to go out for ten months every other year, I can't eat enough and sleep well, I have suffered a lot, and my back is full of whip marks, which is much more bitter than now. Those gentlemen, who are the sons, which one of them has looked at us? We are dirty, smelly, and poor, that is, our adults have pulled us out, and our status, salary, money and food are all enough. The mother-in-law, the boy and the father and mother are all well fed, the new house they live in, the new jacket they wear, the doll can still go to school, we are going to die, and the pension food is enough to eat until the baby grows up and then works for the adult. Can we get on the horse, can carry a knife, just kill the word, and can we still watch those miscellaneous swaggering to our hundreds of households? There is no what they want, there are us sons and daughters of Dahewei who dare to die and dare to fight hard! ”

"Well said!"

There were thunderous cheers all around, and many men were all right when they were stabbed, but at this time they couldn't help but shed tears.

As the Shandong guests got closer and closer to Yunti Pass, the worry and resentment in everyone's hearts became stronger and stronger, although Lord Min had made full preparations for various defenses, everyone was also full of confidence in the defense of Yunti Pass and the Banner Army brothers, of course, the most important thing was that they had great trust and respect for Min Yuanqi.

In everyone's opinion, as long as Min Yuanqi is there, everything will not be a problem, the enemy is more than 10,000 people, and the banner army will also defeat the enemy under the leadership of Min Yuanqi.

But no matter what, the wolves are roaring, wanting to trample on everyone's homes, rob everyone's wealth, insult and hurt everyone's parents, wives and children, even ordinary people will be enthusiastic and desperate with others, not to mention these soldiers who train killing skills every day and have also been on the battlefield?

Min Yuanzhi no longer did pre-war mobilization, he knew that the men in front of him all thought like the officers of the team, and he said a lot, but it was an insult to his subordinates.

Although he was shaky, Min Yuanzhi was the first to get on the horse, and then he waved his knife and stood up, rode his horse forward, and shouted: "Follow me to kill the enemy again, kill!" ”
