The breeze blew across the battlefield, there were broken halberds and broken swords everywhere, and from time to time wounded horses let out bursts of wails, even in the scorching midday sun, on the battlefield of blood-stained corpses, I still felt a chill. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A group of soldiers wearing Ming army armor carried war knives, carried woven bags and began to cut off the enemy's ears on the battlefield, from time to time found that the Jurchens who had not yet lost their breath, "sneered" the long knife and slashed, and made up for the fatal knife for those Jurchens who were lucky enough to be seriously injured and did not die, and after the enemy was completely dead, they cut off their ears and continued to clean the battlefield in order to go back in exchange for war exploits.

"General, the enemy army of one hundred and twenty-eight people, all of them were wiped out, thirty-eight war horses were captured, our army suffered 17 casualties, six were seriously wounded, five were killed in battle, and the rest were slightly wounded," the group of soldiers where Gangzi was located began to count the manpower and count the battle losses.

"Put all the seriously wounded people into the chariot, tie the war dead to the war horses, take away all the captured war horses, and rest a little, now the Jurchen tribe in Gaizhou City in front has lost the protection of this Niu Lu, and the wealth of Dabi is waiting for us" If in the past with such battle losses to win a Jurchen cavalry with an advantage in numbers, it would be unimaginable, and now the Ming army soldiers who were released bloody under the drive of interests have done this, the Ming army is not unable to win the Jurchens, but has been suppressed by civilian officials for many years, If the Ming court dares to use the military merit system similar to that of the Qin army, the Jurchens can eat the entire Jurchen race alive with the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops on the border alone.

It was only in the past that the civil officials of the imperial court covered the sky with one hand, and this system was conducive to the promotion of the status of the warriors, which was never possible to pass in the court, until Chongzhen's northern tour, and replaced the low-level officers of the Jinning defense line on a large scale, so that the reward system similar to the Qin army's combat merits system was implemented, and the Qin army's military merit reward system will certainly make the Qin army's combat power multiply, but a large number of uneducated low-level soldiers climbed to the top of the empire, which is very unfavorable to the stable governance of the empire in the future, once the powerful emperor of the empire dies, The little emperor who took over the throne did not have enough courage, and it was easy to form a big tail, and Chongzhen replaced the title system with a silver reward system, an ordinary enemy sergeant was rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the officer was counted separately, even if the entire Jurchen 200,000 species were destroyed, Chongzhen's reward was only more than two million taels of silver, and the empire could fully bear such consequences.

The most desired thing in a person's body is fame. Sharp. Right. It's just four things, whether it is power or profit, the low-level soldiers can't refuse, and driven by interests, everyone will become extremely crazy.

The tribes of Gaizhou, after all the young and strong were exterminated by the Ming army, even if the Jurchens were all soldiers, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled, how to resist the Ming soldiers like wolves and tigers, a large number of Ming soldiers and soldiers went door to door in groups, robbing all valuable items, these years the Jurchens under the leadership of Huang Taiji, did not run to the Ming court to fight the autumn wind, every time the robbery came back, each tribe that went out to fight a large number of gold and silver treasures, and now the Ming Jurchens are not engaged in labor now, The entire Jurchen tribe was fed by the plundered Han people, and the wild people who became the landlords were all dressed in gold and silver, so this time Gangzi and others had a very rich harvest.

"My lord, it's not good, there is a large group of Jurchen cavalry in the distance is coming quickly," the scout who remained outside the city hurriedly stepped forward to report.

"Gathering" With a violent whistle, a Ming soldier with gold, silver and jewelry appeared in the streets and alleys, fortunately, this time they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, and they will not be blinded by wealth, know the priorities, and do not fall behind at a critical time.

"Tell me, how many people are on the other side" After all his men were on the horse, the general continued to inquire about the enemy.

"General Hui, the number is more than 1,000" The scouts who stayed outside the city were elites, although it was only a rough estimate, but the number of enemy troops was definitely only a lot more.

"Small, there are too many enemies, take the guys and retreat" The soldiers in the chariot began to distribute bamboo tubes to all the cavalry, and soon all the soldiers had two thick bamboo tubes on their backs, the bamboo tubes were more than a meter long, and they were carried diagonally on their backs, and the bottom of the bamboo tubes stretched out from the horse's back and hung in the air. It's only a quarter of an hour's horsepower to gallop at full strength from the place where he and the others go ashore, and as long as they get on the boat, they will come to the Jurchens to come to the 100,000 army, what can they do.

Such a Ming army fighting autumn wind squad has become more and more crazy in the territory of the Jurchens recently, and several squads or directly a partial division of the regular army of the Ming army dared to attack the thousand-person Jiala team of the Jurchens guarding outside, all of which made Huang Taiji in Shengjing extremely angry.

At the suggestion of the palace Baylor, Huang Taiji sent a large number of elites to form a team of thousands of people to wander between the major cities, specially used to chase and kill the Ming army that ran to their hinterland to fight the autumn wind, according to Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng's group of Han advisers, the Jiala team does not need to solve all the Ming troops who fight the autumn wind, as long as they eliminate a few more Ming troops wandering in the hinterland of Dajin, resulting in the phenomenon that the Ming army comes to Dajin to fight the autumn wind and casualties, and the Ming army that fights the autumn wind will naturally become less and less in the future. It's unfortunate that Gangzi's small team encountered such a Jiala team.

A small group of Ming troops fled in front, and the large group of Jurchen cavalry behind them followed and pursued, unlike the group of Jurchens who met before in a hurry to respond to the battle, they were not even equipped with armor and bows and arrows, this time the hunting team behind them was the Jurchen elite, and the cavalry was equipped with bows and arrows on a large scale in order to deal with the Ming chariots.

"The enemy is approaching, teach them a lesson, and dare to chase so closely" I and the others were originally guards of the city, and they only knew how to ride horses, and now they were racing with the Jurchen elite horses who grew up on the back of these horses, although they and others left first, but they were still bitten by the other party's brigade.

"Okay, look at me" Gangzi began to control the Franco machine on the chariot, "boom" a cannon sound, three or five cavalry in the rear horse team fell, but this cannon not only did not scare the Jurchens, but stabbed the hornet's nest, only to see the cavalry in the rear have bent their bows and arrows, a rain of arrows fell, although the comrades around him picked up the shield to help themselves block most of the arrows, but there was also an arrow through the gap in the shield, pierced into his abdomen.

"Ah" Gangzi fell in the carriage, and the accompanying comrades, in order to prevent Gangzi from stirring the internal organs with arrows in the tumbling, picked up the war knife and cut off the arrows to expose the tail, "Damn." Fortunately, I wore armor, otherwise Lao Tzu would have explained here" tore open some gold sore medicine that was enough to buy from the military doctor, and pressed it on the wound, Gangzi thought with palpitations.

"In this way, none of us can run away, the small ones don't have to be polite, the last row of soldiers pull the rope" With the general's order, the last row has pulled the rope tied to the bottom of the bamboo tube on the back, the rope is pulled, the bottom of the bamboo tube is opened, and the thistles that were originally enclosed in the bamboo tube have slid down the bottom of the bamboo tube to the ground.

"Hiss" "hiss" "hiss" "hiss" followed closely by the Jurchen cavalry, many unlucky horses stepped on the thistle, the horse's legs were lame, and the cavalry above fell to the ground, falling off the horse's back in such a high-speed state, and the lucky ones kept their breath, and the unlucky ones fell to death.

Of course, such insidious tactics were conceived by Chongzhen, whether it was a divine rocket, a bed crossbow, or a trebuchet, or an iron thistle, it was good for Chongzhen to use, no worse than the power of red-coated cannons and muskets, the key is that these things are cost-effective, and they can completely promote the rapid formation of combat effectiveness of the whole army, red-coated cannons, flintlock pistols are good, but these things cannot form effective combat power in a short period of time. One is that the production cost is too high, and the other is that the output can't keep up, if you want the whole army to be equipped with these gunpowder weapons, Chongzhen sells himself to develop, and don't think about equipping the whole army without a few years of development.

There are no useless weapons, the key depends on how the user uses them, and the threat of ancient weapons is still extremely terrifying.
