Chapter 63: "Red Banner Army"
In the future, Huang Han led the troops to improve the mobility of the troops as much as possible, even the infantry must be able to march on horseback.
Infantry is not required to fight on horseback, as long as they can get to the battlefield in time to fight on foot.
The newly recruited 100 warriors with good horsemanship will follow the team as trainee cavalry, and they are also protected by steel and are definitely well equipped.
Now Huang Han has one hundred and seven cavalry who have participated in the battle of Zunhua, 22 cavalrymen who have fought out of the siege from Yongping Mansion and taken in by Huangyi Prefecture, 30 cavalry of the border army that Zheng Guochang helped to take in, and a total of 259 military attachΓ©s from the sixth rank and above who do not count the number of soldiers.
The four armed men of Zheng Guochang were all members of the Zheng clan, and they took the initiative to participate in military operations to fight for military merits to assist the second prince in promotion, and these four people were no worse than the combat skills of ordinary cavalry, and Huang Han agreed to their request.
After resting for a few days, the men and horses who set off again were full of fighting spirit, and Huang Han took the ironclad knight wrapped in all steel to find a fighter plane to take the initiative to attack the Houjin army.
These two hundred and sixty-three knights are all fierce men armed to the teeth, and all of them choose healthy horses and double rides, and their strength is enough to shake a Niu Lu Jiannu without falling behind.
The official ranks of Huang Han and Hanzi are already higher than the Zhengqipin General Banner Officer, and according to the Ming military system, they are not in the number of soldiers, but belong to the officers. The combat power of the two of them should be comparable to that of four ordinary family Ding Iron Horsemen.
There are also two people who are not ironclad cavalry, they were strictly ordered not to participate in the cavalry charge, the two of them are Li Mulinlang's apprentices Guo Xiao and Liu Dashou, and they are also the first batch of medical soldiers of Huang Han, and they will be medical officers to train more medical soldiers in the future.
In order to distinguish himself from the rest of the Ming army, Huang Han's subordinates tied a red ribbon on their left arm, and there was no logo on the banner, which was a flaming red rectangular silk cloth.
Huang Han took the cavalry whose whole body was wrapped in iron armor and fiery red to wander around Yongping Mansion, and after the attack, the Jin army trained the team, the effect was too good, and the actual combat training really achieved twice the result with half the effort.
After going out to rob and generate income, the Jin army suffered a big loss, and the robbery gang of more than a dozen or even thirty or fifty people could no longer guarantee safety, and was eaten by Huang Han several groups of people.
Due to the well-equipped and sneak attack warfare, and the group fighting mode of winning more with less, Huang Han's men and horses did not suffer any losses, only a dozen disabled and seven soldiers were killed.
The morale of the team with small losses and big gains was high, and the Jin army was like a tiger pounced on a wolf pack after seeing it.
Several villages in Yongping Mansion that were being robbed by the Houjin army were rescued by the Huang Han Department who arrived in time, and these Ming troops waving red flags and flying red ribbons on their arms rescued the suffering, never took a stitch from the common people, and did not talk to the people in an official tone, and soon became famous.
The common people did not know the number and battalion of this Ming army, only saw the red flag fluttering, they gave the name of this unit, and since then Huang Han's troops have become the "Red Banner Soldiers" or "Red Flag Army" in the mouth of the common people, some similar to the "Red Turban Army" of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
The name sounded catchy, and Huang Han, who was thinking hard about making a name for his team, saw that his hometown father had named this team they loved, so he named his team "Red Flag Army".
For the sake of propaganda, he racked his brains to write a nondescript poem, "The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the geese flying in the south are broken." If you don't break the Tartars, you are not a hero, and it is useless to kill the enemy bravely. I am willing to be a pioneer of the, and the red flag is sweeping the west wind. Today's iron riding is in hand, when will you smash the Yellow Dragon? β
Who knew that this Qingpingle Red Flag, which was close to the vernacular, was sought after by all the cavalry soldiers, and finally developed into an adult who could memorize many people and write silently, and too many people in Yongping Mansion often read "...... The red flag swept the west wind. Today, the iron horse is in hand, and he will smash the Yellow Dragon one day. β
The small people of Shengdou were unscrupulously plundered by barbarians, seeing their relatives being killed, their sisters being insulted, and their houses being burned.
Huang Han still adheres to the principle of giving priority to having a specialty, and the most popular specialty is, of course, riding and archery, and then recruiting martial artists, and finally recruiting people who can ride horses and have a strong body.
The "Red Banner Army" has just started at this time, and there is still a long way to go in the future, Huang Han will not dry up and fish, but release water to raise fish, and when recruiting family members, he intends to only select a few outstanding heroes in each village, and give them food and money.
The men who follow the "Red Flag Army" will not only get full food and salary in the future, but also get the opportunity to become an official master, and their families will benefit a lot.
Although they will have a vote with the Houjin Army every three or five times, and it is inevitable that the family members will lose their casualties, but there are the children of Yongping Mansion who are enthusiastic about joining the army to make up for it in time, and Huang Han's men and horses are fighting more and more, and the quality has not dropped too much.
Since the Houjin army had been robbing the Guannei for more than three months, even ordinary Tartar soldiers had no less than 100 taels of silver to carry with them.
Later, Jin Jun no longer had the ruthlessness to wear shoes when he first entered the customs, and he had already begun to suffer from gains and losses.
Huang Han at this time, he specialized in black and black, of course, he made a lot of money, and now after eliminating an average of one Jin army, he will get gold and silver, and he will get no less than one hundred and twenty taels of silver, at least one war horse, a set of armor, a composite bow, such as cloth, silk and other goods.
After the attack, the Jin army was almost as dangerous as the tiger's mouth, and Huang Han not only did it, but also robbed precious metals worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, and obtained other goods of no less than 8,000 taels of silver.
The main reason is that the land of Gyeonggi has been peaceful for more than 150 years, there are countless Yin Shi families, and the wealth accumulated by generations of Han Chinese has been looted by the Houjin army bandits who entered the customs.
In history, the Houjin was able to develop by leaps and bounds thanks to this attack on the Ming Dynasty, and the civilization was finally destroyed barbarically because the Tunguska was inhumane, ignorant and wild.
Huang Han only caused some trouble for the Later Jin army, snatching a few pieces of meat from the mouths of the robbers, and had little impact on the course of history.
The number of the Iron Armor soon reached three hundred and sixty people, although only half of them were really able to ride and fight, but all of them were growing every day, and they had a lot of stamina, and now the combat effectiveness of the "Red Banner Army" could also be able to meet a Jiannu Niulu without worrying.
Galloping around Yongping Mansion every day, and the horsemanship and combat skills of the Jiading warriors will of course improve a lot, and the heads of the Houjin army will be cut off every three or five times, and the headless corpses will be dragged away, and the recruits who have not been given the opportunity to kill the enemy face-to-face will also begin to have thick nerves.
