Chapter 371: Heavy Cavalry

The difference in the quality of the horses, the more than 100 horses led by Jiang Feng were already running in the front, and the speed was not significantly accelerated, but they were also wearing heavy armor, holding thick wooden guns and shields in their hands, and they were all controlling the horse steps, and the span of each step of the more than 100 horses led by Jiang Feng was much larger than the span of those Hequ horses, and they gradually ran in the front.

On the battlefield, the general who has always been the commander of the army does not go into battle in person, but only assigns and assigns the battle, because the main general is the head of the troops, the core, and if he is injured, the entire army will fall into chaos or even collapse.

Jiang Feng's approach is also a little helpless, although he now has a few generals in his hands, but except for Zhang Liang, the rest of the people are okay to do, and the planning is very weak, and the talent who is in charge alone cannot be called it. Therefore, Jiang Feng had 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers in his hands and nearly 2 million people.

On the contrary, everything has to be in the front, this time Zhang Liang was going to ask for battle, but these vast lands outside the gate are the foundation for Jiang Feng to prepare for big things, and he must do it himself. There must be a trustworthy person in Hwasa, North Korea, to guard the town, and in the end, Jiang Feng came.

After coming, he encountered the attack of the tile spurs, and after repelling, Jiang Feng felt that the Mongolian steppe adjacent to the gate must be cleaned up of the forces above, and a stable and safe flank should be cleared out of the pass. Thinking about it, this matter can only be done by himself, Jiang Feng sometimes thinks to himself, there are too few talents under his command, if the territory is bigger in the future, wouldn't it be even more stretched?

This kind of heavy armor, like a moving steel fortress, the Mongolian tribal cavalry on the steppe has degenerated and does not look good, although in the battle with the Ming army, they often use wooden guns to attack the infantry formation. But that was also met with the same poorly protected foot soldiers, such an airtight heavy cavalry in front of them, they didn't even have the experience to deal with it, the tall horses of Andalusian origin were much taller than the short Mongolian horses, looking at the more than 100 horsemen rushing in front of them, many people felt as if they were thousands of horses.

Many of the horses under the crotch of the cavalry of the Duoyan Department were frightened upright by these strange guys in front of them, although some people also shot bows and arrows with trembling hands, but unless you are lucky enough to be able to shoot the part of the eye, the rest of the place is covered by iron armor.

Duoyan's leader Wuerte and a group of nobles are still there to carry their treasures, and the more than 1,000 cavalry guarding around them are still defending there without getting orders, and the most feared thing on the battlefield is the delay in timing, although the cavalry have driven their horses to dodge, but Jiang Feng's heavy cavalry still collided with the Mongolian tribe's cavalry brigade.

In the past, when Jiang Feng had iron ding, because there was no shortage of silver money and craftsmen, he also experimented with the so-called heavy cavalry tactics on Mongolian horses.

The effect of this impact was even more amazing, the huge weight of the tall horse and the knight's armor together, as well as the speed when running, were all focused on the thick cavalry spear, and the cavalry of the Duoyan tribe uselessly waved the long knives and wooden spears in their hands to fight back.

But neither the strength nor the length can touch the heavy cavalry, and some people are desperately moving on the horse to dodge, but it is useless, many cavalry don't even have time to scream, they are directly pierced by the cavalry spear, and some people hold an iron shield in their hands that they don't know where to get, blocking their chests, and the pointed end of the cavalry spear is not very sharp, but a round head.

If the quality of the iron shield is good, the cavalry gun still can't penetrate the shield, but the effect is even more amazing, and a few cavalrymen with iron shields were even directly knocked off the horse.

The Mongol cavalry who protected the nobility, after this onslaught, was like a flock of poultry thrown a stone in it, and the "hula" exploded at once.

Ult was also ready to bring more of his own treasures, but at this time, Harden didn't care about the difference between dignity and inferiority, followed the dozens of personal soldiers around him to shout, put Uert up, threw him on a horse, and then ran quickly towards a place where there were no enemies.

Just now, the people of the Duoyan Mongols were still thinking that after today's attack was over, they would return the blood and fear they suffered today to these Han people who came to attack inexplicably.

But now no one is thinking about this problem, the only thing that can be done at this time is to flee for their lives, although these people in front of them are Han Chinese, but they are definitely not any army of the Ming Dynasty, such firearms, such knights, it is not like a force that should exist in the world.

After the Ult was escorted by dozens of soldiers and fled, the various Mongol nobles present also abandoned the treasures they had accumulated in their hands and rushed out to the weak place of battle.

The courage of the leaders to flee and the soldiers to continue fighting collapsed at once, and although most of their opponents were also dressed in cloth and riding the same horses as themselves, the fighting spirit seemed to be crazy, and they did not know tiredness.

The fighting enthusiasm of the guards has fully aroused their ferocity after fighting with the Mongol tribes in the steppe again and again, and they are now fighting against the Mongols, killing and plundering many of the things that are their own trophies.

Jiang Feng's troops had such a rule, those slave traders and quartermaster merchants who accompanied the army were obliged to be responsible for transporting the soldiers' booty to the rear, or to buy it, and when they all returned to the outside of the pass, the owner of the trophy could go and retrieve the booty.

These guards sold all kinds of looted materials, livestock, and population to the merchants who accompanied the army, and the prices of those merchants were also fair and reasonable, in fact, the various border passes of the Ming Dynasty also had such a habit, but the soldiers rarely got cheap, because those merchants often colluded with the officers, and most of the things were swallowed up, and the soldiers did not have the enthusiasm to defend the country in their hearts, that is, plundering money can arouse their desires.

If there is no such thing, it is difficult for the soldiers to maintain their courage to fight, Jiang Feng's Jiang family army is different, after becoming Jiang Feng's regular soldiers, although his soldiers are bound by strict military law, but the military salary is rich, and there are corresponding dividends in Jiang Feng's various territories, and the family members have such and such preferential treatment, and birth, old age, sickness and death are basically guaranteed.

However, the number of such soldiers is a little small after all, Jiang Feng is not averse to hiring other armed forces to fight, after his arquebus and spear phalanx form a scale, in the face of cold weapons troops, they can already win more with less, completely suppressed, and they are not worried that the other party will have anything unfavorable to themselves.

In the wars of this era, there were very few simple wars of destruction, and there were always things that could be plundered, especially after Jiang Feng carried out the slave trade, in the past, civilians who were either slaughtered or driven away after the war also became a very good "material".

Jiang Feng doesn't need to prepare money here, as long as the merchants buy the loot, and then distribute a part of the loot to the foreign armed forces, the merchants dare not deduct, now in the world, the most profitable channel is firmly in the hands of Jiang Feng, except for those traffickers who trade illicit salt, as long as the rest of the people want to share the profits in the trade at sea, they have to look at Jiang Feng's face and act.

Now Jiang Feng is driving these people to fight for him without spending money, and he also wants to make some money in it, which is really a cheap deal.

The establishment of the reclamation manor outside the Guanwai was established by the Jingshi merchant group for money, so although the Guanwai is a mode of production for farming, fishing and hunting, the idea of pursuing money in business is much more blazing than that of the Ming Dynasty, the Confucian master in the Guannai, and you are a good man if you make more money, and you can buy what you want as long as you spend money.

These guards are some people who seek wealth and nobility, but when they are in the pass, they can only make a living as bandits, there is like this outside the pass, and they can earn back a lot of money with a sword, and those who resisted the invasion of the Mongols with Jiang Feng before were all given land, status and money and slaves, although there is no royal law and class outside the pass, but these guards are already vaguely like the aristocratic class, although it is still a very rudimentary stage.

The power of example is endless, and the previous example is here, so after Jiang Feng issued a conscription order outside the gate, almost most of the guards rushed over to sign up, and those who didn't get benefits wanted to earn benefits for themselves, and those who had already received benefits wanted to get more.

"Let me go, Duoyan promised your conditions, we have a large amount of ransom and ......"

The Uerte's Chinese is an authentic official dialect, and the words are correct and round, and dozens of them did not escape far before they were captured by the wolf-like guards, and Harden was shot by an arrow alone and escaped, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Jiang Feng took off his mask, exhaled a breath of white air, and ignored the pleadings and pleas over there, just reached out and made a chopping motion......
