People on both sides of the strait were stunned, no one expected such a result, not even the archers did not expect that the arrows they shot would be so powerful.

After all, in the post house in Datong City, they are fed up with the anger of these masters, they enter and exit as if they are in a no-man's land, and these guards armed with spears and bows and arrows are not their opponents at all, and they are not even qualified to fight.

It's not that the guard's ability has improved much, the main thing is that the twenty-zhang trench makes people have nowhere to hide, although this person is also a master, but after flying over the trench, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and those bows and arrows that could not hurt him have become big killers, and they completely shot him through. The impact of the arrow pushed him into the trench again, and his body was pierced again by the arrow below, killing him on the spot.

"Isn't that Zhichengzi?"

"It's not who else he is, he has always been very arrogant, and now retribution is finally coming."

"Well deserved." One of the men spat out, apparently having been bullied by the dead before.

"When people die, everything is empty, so let's accumulate some virtue." A humane monk looks.

"Motuo, you rabbit dead fox sad, how many bad things have you done for a monk in embarrassment, don't you have any points in your heart?" One sneered.

"Amitabha, how does the donor speak, the poor monk and Zhichengzi Tanyue don't have much intersection." The monk proclaimed the Buddha's mouth.

"Yes, you don't stay together when you don't do evil, but when you want to do something bad, you start to be in trouble." Someone else exposed the monk's old bottom.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the monk lowered his head and burrowed into the crowd behind him and disappeared.

"Your Highness, you have eliminated harm for the people." A man shouted with his hands to his lips.

"Well said, well said." Besides, he didn't laugh.

He doesn't have any intention of eliminating harm for the people, and everything that happens to him will end up like this. Who has the time to theorize whether the person is good or evil, how many bad things he has done in the past or how much merit he has accumulated.

In his eyes, there are not many good people on the other side of the trench, almost all of them are people who do bad things, otherwise how could they not stay in the inland rivers and lakes, and have to flee to the outside of the Saiwai for their lives? One by one, at least it's not a good stubble.

Of course, he also knew that his father and Xiaojun had fled to outside the Saiwai, but that was a special case, and the nature of those people was completely different.

This is just like the group of rogues, although there are many people who are forced to go to Liangshan and have to fall into the grass, but the whole of the rogues must be very fucked, they have done a hundred bad things, and maybe they will do a good thing.

There is no time to distinguish between right and wrong, and there is only one principle now, that is: no one should mess with me.

"Go down to two people and carry this guy up, otherwise it will stink in two days, and our camp will be smoked and uninhabitable." Besides.

The guards were also a little dizzy when they looked at the trench a few feet deep, and they all used ropes to hang them up when they came up, and now they had no choice but to use this method.

The two of them tied a rope around their waists, then fell down, and then tied the head and feet of the person with a rope, and then hung them up together.

"Set up a stake, hang his head on a stake, and throw the body out to feed the vultures later." Besides, he gave him a command, and went back.

At this time, it is not a prestige, but when to wait.

Besides, everything that is being done now is for Liwei, including this auction, the most fundamental reason is not in the silver, but in the hope that the large and small forces on the grassland can see what will happen to those who dare to offend the official interests of the Ming Dynasty.

A sentence that later generations are talking about is the famous saying of a general in the Han Dynasty: Those who offend me and strengthen the Han will be punished even if they are far away.

However, it is useless to shout this sentence, only when it is expressed in the way of beating and killing can it be powerful, until no one dares to offend it, that is the real punishment even if it is far away.

Besides, the 10,000 people he brought with him now were trained with hard work, and he didn't want to fight with all kinds of big and small forces outside the Cypriot every day inexplicably, even if he could catch the rogues as slaves and auction them, his people were all piled up with silver, it was too expensive, and he really couldn't afford to lose.

Besides, this trip to the outside of Cyprus is just a military training, and his trip to the coast in the future is the real life-and-death struggle.

Moreover, the sixth guard is only more than 20,000 people, less than 30,000 yuan, and the silver spent on training has been more than 500,000 taels, and almost everyone's training cost is 20 taels, and 20 taels of silver may not be considered much by ordinary people, but in fact, at that time, the normal annual cost of ordinary people was no more than 20 taels of silver, and the salary of a private school teacher for a year was so much.

This is only the silver that the emperor took out, not including the part that he filled in, plus the pocket he paid, it would be more than 600,000 taels.

And this is only the cost of training for half a year, if it is a year, the silver will have to be doubled.

This is only the normal training cost, and the rest of the military uniforms, equipment, clothing, war horses, firearms, bows and arrows, etc., all add up, almost a huge amount of silver.

The reason why normal officers and soldiers are not strong in combat effectiveness is that they have not undergone regular and strict training at all, just because they are soldiers, and when the time comes, they will have to be soldiers alone, and they themselves will have to carry coiled equipment on the road, and if they become soldiers, their families may go bankrupt, and when they arrive in the army, they will be given a weapon, and they will be done with their drills every day, and they will have to rush forward head-on when they are fighting. Is it possible for an army composed of such fighters to have strong combat effectiveness?

The imperial court has actually been aware of this problem for a long time, but the military household system was formulated by Emperor Taizu himself, and no one dared to change it, in addition, raising an army in this way does save money, if it is trained into an army like the sixth guard, the imperial court will be able to raise an army of 50,000 people, according to the cost of Qi Jiguang's military training, it can only raise 100,000 people, and the huge land cannot be defended by 100,000 troops. Therefore, the emperor's worries about money are similar to those who worry about money, but the scale is different.

In the final analysis, the combat effectiveness of the national army is still due to economic reasons, which later generations called the comprehensive strength of the country, and the foundation of the comprehensive strength is the economy and money.

The reason why the combat effectiveness of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so awesome was because Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing had accumulated a lot of wealth for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to squander at will, but this buddy squandered a little carelessly, and finally almost went bankrupt, so in the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the world withered, and thieves swarmed, because the money was spent, and the common people could not eat, so they could only get up and steal.

Besides, after arresting so many rogues, if you count the bounty of the king of Alta, the total is only about 50,000 taels, and it has doubled, that is, 100,000 taels, which is less than one-sixth of his training, and if you count the weight of the ordnance, the proportion is even smaller.

Therefore, before the war, he repeatedly emphasized that there were zero casualties, it was not easy for him to train these soldiers, and he must not risk his life to fight these rogues, even if he swept away these rogues, if his team suffered heavy casualties, it would definitely be a loss-making deal.

If you want to fight less, you have to fight a few beautiful battles first, and you must be ruthless, so that all kinds of forces outside the fortress are afraid of the power and dare not snort anymore.

The first battle out of the customs was perfectly planned, and the fight was also very beautiful, a swarm of people was once famous for their toughness on the grassland, few people dared to provoke, and the people who flew on the grass were known for being slippery, how many people hated them to the bone, but they were helpless, but they were all defeated and sunk in the sand under the hands of the Ming army. The reason why the scale of this auction is to be bigger is to spread the prestige of the sixth guard of brocade clothes to the outside world, so that all the forces on the prairie will be terrified.

Moreover, as soon as he returned, someone came to report that it was a Tatar commander who asked to see him.

Besides, I had to turn back again.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" The Tatar commander was simply dumbfounded when he looked at such a wide trench.

At first, they didn't care when the Jinyi guards dug a trench here, and they didn't despise this practice at all, thinking that it was a cowardly act of the Ming army.

The Tatar cavalry camped generally by rejecting horses and stumbling horses, and would never dig trenches, which would affect their outward charge, and for cavalry, digging trenches was equivalent to digging their own graves.

Moreover, although they are all cavalry, they are actually trained in accordance with infantry combat, basically based on defense, and then find an opportunity to counterattack, which is also a helpless tactic of infantry against cavalry, of course, it is not that this method of combat is not good, Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang are famous for foot combat, and they defeated the most elite cavalry in the world with infantry, especially Yue Fei, the king of Wumu, faced the heavily armored cavalry of the Jurchen tribe, known as Tiefutu.

His own commander actually colluded with the rogues to try to rob the caravan. Since the scars were uncovered by a swarm of bees and people flying on the grass, the Tatar cavalry felt a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere between the two armies naturally became more tense. The Jinyi guards were even more angry at the Tatar cavalry, and they were eager to fight, so the Tatar cavalry was separated from each other by a long distance during the camp this time, so as not to get too close to each other between the two armies, and if there was any friction, it might really trigger a war in advance.

Moreover, when digging trenches here, the Tatar cavalry also reported to several commanders, and these three people did not take it to heart, they knew that the Han people liked to come to this hand whenever they set up camp, and they couldn't sleep without the protection of the trenches, so they were timid and let them go.

Later, when someone said that someone had died under the trench, the Tatar commander, after asking what had happened, still restrained his men not to go over and watch, lest there be any misunderstanding. Soon after, the king of Alta sent a letter forwarding the situation, and at the same time there was a letter from the three ladies, and the three commanders had no choice but to send a commander of the thousand to deliver the letter.

When the commander saw the scale of the trench, he could not believe his eyes, he did not understand why the men were so vigorous, digging a trench twenty zhang wide, and burying thistles and arrowheads underneath, was it necessary? Are you really ready for war?

"We're guarding against thieves, just in case, you see that there are still people who want to try it just now." Besides, he replied with a laugh.

Saying this, he looked at the people on the other side of the trench who were still wandering and refused to leave, they were probably not dead yet, and were thinking about how to cross the moat.

"Anti-thief? What do you mean? The commander blushed a little guiltily, thinking that he was mocking his troops.

Besides, he really didn't mean that, he didn't pay attention to these 3,000 Tatar cavalry at all, and he wanted to defend against the main force of the Tatars, or the armies of some big tribes.
