Chapter 436: The First Battle of the Northern Expedition

In the Jiangjia army system, firearms are the most powerful weapons, only the so-called regular army of Huazhou, that is, the Huazhou army is equipped with firearms, and the other soldiers are equipped with cold weapons, such as escorts, such as the regimental training of the militia group.

When the tribal cavalry attacked, Liu 13 ordered them to meet the enemy, these people did not hesitate, the swords, guns and shields were directly copied in their hands, and they lined up under the officer's order to prepare to meet the enemy, and the regular army had five hundred people, in addition to one hundred people as a maneuver, four hundred people formed a phalanx at the end, as the core.

The square of 400 people, counting the range of fire of guns and artillery, could already cover the front of the 7,000-strong team, and some of the panicked logistics teams and large convoys were also settled.

After such a long lonely march on the steppe, the young people of the expeditionary pioneer team were already idle and bored there, and the Mongols in those large convoys had such an experience in the past, but it is better to say that grazing on the steppe is like this, and there is no human population for several months.

However, those young group training in the reclamation manor were originally in the densely populated place in the Guannei, and when they came to the reclamation manor outside the Guan, they felt that the Guanwai was sparsely populated, and the situation was even worse when they came to the grassland, the sky and the earth were almost the same color, and the terrain was extremely flat and there were no ups and downs. At first, it may feel a little fresh, but after half a month has passed, people will feel sleepy while walking.

Fortunately, the production and training organized by Liu Shisan can be regarded as keeping their lives and spirits in a certain regularity, so that there will be no spiritual problems.

Not only the young regimental trainers, but also the tenacious regular army and the fierce guards were almost like this, and gradually they were reluctant to even speak every day.

As soon as I heard that there was a battle to be fought, I was immediately excited, the regimental trainers here were holding spears and swords just lined up in a phalanx, and the guards over there were already ready to get on horseback, and almost everyone in the expedition pioneer team had horses, but the regular army and regimental trainers were infantry on horseback.

The escorts are real cavalry, Liu 13 did not say how to fight, that is, everything is handed over to the people below, the leader of the escort is the Mongolian who just talked, he rode on his horse and looked at the enemy who rumbled over on the opposite side, wondering whether to use the tactics in training, but the adjutant on the side was a little impatient, and shouted loudly there:

"Brother Wu, the brothers are idle, what are you delaying here, just go down and kill him once, look at what those are on the other side, tattered!"

After hearing this, the leader of the guards, known as Brother Wu, first looked at it intently for a few moments, then smiled at himself, drew the knife from his scabbard, and said with a smile:

"When people are older, they like to look ahead and look backward when they do things, let's go, let's kill him for a while!"

After saying that, the horses under the crotch rushed forward, the knife in his hand waved forward, and the seven hundred guards behind were all excited on their horses, and they rode horses to follow.

Hurriedly shouted at the young people to hurry up and get on the horse, and at this time, suddenly, Liu Shisan's side sent a herald, and said loudly:

"Your Excellency has an order, the alternate guards are not allowed to fight, and there are other arrangements."

The regimental trainers all breathed a sigh of disappointment, it seemed that they were not needed to fight, and the more than 700 guards really had no possibility of defeat against the cavalry on the grassland.

When the Jingshi merchant group went out of the customs, they set up a reclamation manor, and those things that plundered slaves, expelled barbarian robbers, and grabbed territory would definitely not be handed over to ordinary households to do.

And the number of these people is also scarce, through their own connections, the Jingshi merchant group recruited a large number of Xiangma bandits and robbers in the customs to fill up outside the customs, if these people do not have real skills, they will not be recruited, when the reclamation manor was just established, Jiang Feng concentrated on running Huazhou, and naturally would not provide them with too much help.

The officials of Liaozhen occasionally dispatched to the good side, but it was impossible to go deep into the purge, the Jurchen tribes that were seized of their homes, as well as the Tainingwei among the Duoyan Sanwei, and some large and small bandit gangs of Xiangma, were not willing to be driven out of the gate like this, so the bloody cases of attacks and massacres occurred many times.

At that time, it was the guards brought by the Jingshi merchant group themselves to clear these barbarians and horses, and the result of the matter was quite simple, a year later, the Jurchens either rushed to the mountains further north, or were taken captive and became slaves, and Tainingwei Mongolia became a historical term.

As for those Han bandits and Xiangma, they were either killed or became a member of the manor guards, and the guards of these manors outside the Guan, under the constant survival of the fittest, can only survive with the most brave and tenacious people with superb skills.

In addition, after these people became escorts, He Jiang Feng fought against the cavalry of the Tile Spurs in the Taal River Valley, and suppressed the rebellious Korean slaves in the land outside the Guan, all of this can be said to be tempered by blood and fire, and these guards can be described as strong.

After so many battles and fights, almost every time there is bloodshed, the wealth of the guards will increase a lot, which has subtly formed a habit for these outlaws, that is, if they want to get rich and rich, they can only keep fighting and killing, they have gradually forgotten how to use farm tools and plough the land, but will only use swords to harvest life

Jiang Feng saw this, so he directly granted these people the hereditary martial artist qualifications, they can only maintain their current privileges by constantly fighting, and these people can only be spurned bandits in the Ming Dynasty, they can only be despised martial artists, only under Jiang Feng's system, they can have honor and benefits.

Therefore, even when the guards rotated at home, these people were constantly refining their weapons and learning new combat skills from the local regimental trainers and regular soldiers. This expedition will have so many people to sign up, people's greed is endless, and everyone wants to achieve more wealth.

The tribal cavalry who were preparing to sneak attack over there saw that the other party was also rushing over with hundreds of horses, and they knew in their hearts that a sneak attack was impossible, but they were not ready to give up, because they felt that their manpower was much more than that of the guards, and the tribes on the grassland, the warriors who could fight were the strong men who charged on the horses, and the other party was facing more than 700 people who rushed down.

As long as these people are defeated, they can control the livestock and population of the other party in their own hands.

Instead, several leaders of the tribal cavalry cheered up their subordinates loudly, and even quickened their horses, preparing to crush the opponent in the first wave of impact.

The guards who rushed to the front put their sabers and wooden guns on the hooks, took off the horn bows behind their backs, and opened their hands to open their bows and arrows, the bows and arrows were slightly raised, and as soon as the person in front let go, a feathered arrow flew out quickly.

This is an order, more than a hundred escorts in front of them launched one after another, the swishing sound was loud, the bumps on horseback, don't expect any accuracy at all, so these people are fired at an elevation angle, not to be able to shoot, but the opposite side is also a large number of dense charges, and there is no problem with killing.

Archery and fighting on horses are not something that every cavalry can do, these belong to the skills of relatively advanced warriors, and they need to be tempered from time to time to be proficient, such is the case with the guards, they practice arching horses every day, and the tribal cavalry on the opposite side is obviously not the case.

At that time, the elite of the Mongolian cavalry across the Eurasian continent was already degenerate, they really didn't expect that the other party could actually shoot arrows in a rapid charge, although the speed of the arrows flying in a parabola was not very fast, but the horses under their crotches were also running, which was equivalent to hitting the arrows.

It's too late to dodge, a lot of people in the middle of the team screamed, there are not many people who were shot, the people who were hit by the arrow were in severe pain, some people couldn't dodge and fell off the horse, at this time the speed of the horses was not yet to charge, it was not fast, as soon as there were people who fell off the horse, the horse riders behind instinctively wanted to dodge, and suddenly people stood up, and there was chaos.

At this time, the people in the front were both flat with their wooden guns and were about to prepare to hedge, but the cavalry of the guards changed again, the two rows in front accelerated and rushed out, but the people behind slowed down their horses, in groups of ten, one of them dragged the horses of the others.

The dismounted people walked quickly to the front, a hundred people quickly lined up in a row, divided into three rows, quickly stretched their bows and arrows, the people behind raised their wooden spears and stood in the gap between the archers, and the hedging guards suddenly turned their horses' heads when the tribal cavalry horses began to accelerate, and they parted in unison to both sides.

The horses of the tribal cavalry had already rushed up, and suddenly there was no enemy in front of them, and for a moment, the sound of a rapid break through the air was loud, and arrows rained down......
