The mountain road is so rugged that it is impossible to ride up the mountain on horseback, and it is not easy for the infantry to reach the mountain pass, which takes half a day.

There is no way to deploy troops here, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, they can only make a dojo in a snail shell, and the main general can only arrange a few dozen people to attack along the not wide mountain road, and this is already the limit.

The defenders of the mountain pass can not only attack the enemy troops in the mountain pass with rolling wood and stones, but even the enemy troops who are waiting on the mountain path behind and do not participate in the attack may be killed by falling rocks overhead.

Han Zhikuan allocated 100 battalions of soldiers to be transferred by Huangyi Prefecture, these people were soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and theoretically did not belong to a certain general.

He knew that the Huang family father and son led the troops in order to win the Jin army after the attack, and he also hoped that the Huang family father and son could make another meritorious service.

Han Zhikuan has less than 900 people under his command, and in addition to not being willing to give it to his family, the 100 people he gave to the Huang family are definitely strong people with 900 horses.

On the day that these neat and tidy soldiers came to Jiulitai, they were told that they were paid enough to follow Lord Huang as a soldier, and their true colors would also give five buckets of miscellaneous grains, just when these big-headed soldiers were suspicious, Song Pengfei opened the burden, and more than 100 taels of silver were dazzling in the sun.

The treatment of the battalion soldiers in the Guannai was worse than that of the Guanning army, the cavalry was paid one tael and five cents of silver per month, the infantry was only one tael, the commander was five cents of silver more than the ordinary soldiers, and the small flag officer was double the salary of the ordinary soldiers.

These soldiers are soldiers for the sake of food, and it is not easy to reform them in a short time.

Huang Han could only adopt the consistent style of the military attache of the Ming army, forcing the battalion soldiers to fight desperately with the supervision of the family Ding team, cutting off their ears if they dared to turn their heads and ears, and daring to turn around and run away and kill them on the spot.

If you want people to sell their lives, you can't treat them badly, Huang Han doesn't drink the blood of soldiers, and pays food and pay in full and on time, if these people don't work during the battle, Huang Han will kill them and feel a lot more at ease.

Without him, with the thinking of modern people in the Huang and Han dynasties, the service of the soldiers is to buy the services of these people, and the service of the soldiers is naturally to kill the enemy, if these battalion soldiers run away when they see the enemy, it is naturally a breach of contract, and there is nothing wrong with killing them to set an example.

Each battalion soldier was given white flowers and silver, knowing that his true color was five buckets of miscellaneous grains, and the soldiers who could send food home could receive it on a monthly basis, and they needed to change it to folded color and take silver or copper coins.

There is no one who does not like leaders who are paid on time, and these people who eat food and serve as soldiers are very reluctant to come to work under an unfamiliar military attaché.

They thought it would be a loss to leave the city and come to this remote place. Now that I don't think so, Lord Huang promised to pay the food and salary on time, and promised to pay it in full, which was enough.

The common people in the land of Jinggi in the Ming Dynasty have a hard time, the soldiers are in chaos, I am the fish and the meat, and the people are the swords. How many people will lose their lives in this cold winter?

The common people who were lucky enough to survive the disaster of Jiannu began to flee, and the Han people who were hungry and cold began to wander and wander, and they did not know when they would be able to return to their homeland.

At this time, there are so many soldiers in Beizhili, but unfortunately Huang Han does not have the strength to accept these ordinary people who have a deep blood feud with the Houjin army.

Huang Han longs to be able to ascend to the throne and to gain power, because only in this way can he help more Han people.

Time was in a hurry, he took his men and horses on the first day of the Lunar New Year without delaying training, but fortunately, the thirty cavalry sent by Han Zhikuan had more than three years of service, not to mention that the bow and horse were not far away!

Whether they are loyal or not is hard to say, it takes time to grind and build trust with each other.

There is never love for no reason in the world, and there will be no hate for no reason, and people's feelings need to be cultivated slowly.

Huang Han is not in a hurry, he believes that everyone will become real comrades-in-arms after a few actual battles, and the love of robes will be established.

With a degree of trust in each other, it will be much easier to get along with each other in the future, and then give these soldiers favors, make them feel respected, and let them get the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.

At that time, it would not be a problem to get loyalty and support, and when it was a matter of course, Huang Han of course took these cavalrymen as his family.

Huang Han inspected the equipment of these soldiers one by one when the battalion soldiers came to report for duty, and found that their weapons and bows and arrows were not used to deceive the officials.

He knew that this was Han Zhikuan's intentions, these soldiers should be the best in the battalion, this favor should be recorded, and he would always find an opportunity to repay it in the future.

Now even himself has a total of fifty horses, including Lian Hanzi and Song Pengfei, there are nineteen family warriors whose loyalty is no problem, and twenty-nine spare war horses.

With such a configuration, the mobility of this cavalry team is not weaker than that of the Houjin army at all.

The combat effectiveness should not be as good as the same number of Jiannu, but this does not matter, fighting on the mainland, it is its own home field, and it naturally has a home advantage.

Besides, Huang Han didn't plan to win more with less, nor did he plan to fight hard, and the small team of Jiannu who went out to rob in the dense forest and mountains on the periphery of the main battlefield was the established goal.

In order to better fight the enemy and protect himself, the choice of battlefield is particularly important, of course Huang Han could not appear in the plains, the battlefield he chose was hilly.

It may be necessary to use the terrain to follow the Houjin army in circles to get rid of the encirclement, so it is quite important to be familiar with the battlefield.

Huang Han selected ten people from the thirty cavalry under his command to equip them with iron armor and helmets with face armor, these ten people are all simple people, knowing the value of these equipment, their emotions and attitudes are immediately different.

Huang Nongsheng, Yang Gu, Yang Jiahe, and Huang Chunsheng in the Jiading team were too poor to be able to ride and fight, and this time they were brought out to train them.

However, they were not allowed to charge on horseback, and their task was to take care of the twenty-nine spare horses when the cavalry was charged, and to provide timely assistance when they found that some of them were wounded.

Huang Han led the cavalry to train every day, and the nearby mountains and forests had been turned around. Official roads, mountain roads, and trails, where the terrain is dangerous, and where the place of death are already clear.

When encountering villages and ordinary people, this cavalry will carry out propaganda, informing them that the Jin army will come to Yongping Mansion to plunder immediately, and ask them to take precautions as soon as possible.

The Ming Dynasty paid attention to dignified battles, and often the situation was favorable, and the soldiers would rush up, and when the enemy broke through, they would scatter in a hurry, and few guerrilla tactics were adopted.

Because the soldiers of this era have no sense of national honor, no concept of state, and no lofty beliefs, they just want to be paid for the sake of serving as soldiers.

It is not uncommon for soldiers to flee in battle, and they must rely on the supervision of the main general to stay on the battlefield to fight for their lives.

If you take such soldiers up the mountains and into the forest, or advance or retreat, and flexibly control the attack and retreat, you will not be able to escape with little men and horses on the march.
