Chapter 19 The Tatar bandit clique has a great spirit of learning

The equipment of an authentic cavalry is much more complex than that of infantry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The cavalry of this plane had to have two horses, a special cavalry bow, arrows for different purposes, long and short knives, pippen to protect against the cold at night, and rations and water for long runs.

There were also many service personnel in the cavalry, including those who were responsible for raising horses, collecting pasture, treating horses, and servants who directly served the cavalry.

The armament of the cavalry differed from that of the infantry and was mainly produced by specialized craftsmen.

There was a large amount of leather goods in cavalry equipment, and there was a great demand for leather.

They have good steel and good iron, they have the best machining capabilities in this time and space, they also have all kinds of leather, and they can export a lot of it.

Both the Great Song Dynasty and Japan came here to buy it, but they were not able to buy all their leathers.

But they are naturally lacking in horses...... Of course, at that time they were trying to figure out how to buy around.

The return merchant who sold the horse was an excellent return, and it was a clear signal to the other maritime merchants that the horse trader could earn more money or get a better supply of goods than the trader.

The Tianzhu area is a place rich in gold, and the people there believe that gold is the cleanest metal in the world, and it should be dedicated to the temple and the local king, so the king of the earth there is extremely rich, as long as there are good goods that are sought, you can earn more gold from them!

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, believes that there will definitely be no shortage of horses in the future, and they must have a way to send them automatically and consciously...... However, the main force still has to do it themselves, and then build a transport ship for livestock.

However, the Shandong Peninsula is still not at the level of one man and two horses, so it can only be used for communications and reconnaissance.

The matter of military horses can definitely be solved, and the skills of cavalry must also be practiced slowly.

Captain Zhang Depei and his team members practiced riding together as long as they were free at that time, and they also needed this means of transportation.

The glue of this time and space was about one hundred and fifty kilometers away from Laizhou City, which was too suitable for cavalry operations, and as a result, they played a huge role in reconnaissance and communication.

The cavalry came to report:

Shi Tianze's department is organizing the glue crossing, and they are divided into ten places to cross the river...... The scene of crossing the river was chaotic, and it took about five days to cross it all!

Captain Bao Wei and Deputy Captain Guo Beyu marked the place where they crossed the river on the map, and their goal was very clear, it was Laizhou City.

At that time, Deputy Captain Guo Beyu said: "I'll lead the fleet and set off." ”

In their plan, after all Shi Tianze's troops passed the glue, their warships would enter the glue from the sea, then cut the glue, and pull all the rafts and other things that could be left behind to cross the river back to the west bank, striving not to let them run back.

In the end, the members of this fleet will all go ashore, and they will block the main retreat of Shi Tianze's troops to the west at a small mountain pass fifty kilometers away!

At the same time, the ambush army they have prepared to the south will also set up an X-shaped fence made of barbed wire and various hardwood components!

And their north side is just a long coastline that no one can swim to!

With a little pressure from the east, they will become turtles in the urn......

Wang Defa and Zhang Guoan, the island masters, were relieved because of this battle plan, as long as they didn't let the other party rush up, they would hit each other through obstacles, and there was basically no problem.

Captain Bowie said: "Let's start tomorrow, depending on their level of crossing, five days is a bit too optimistic." ”

Deputy Captain Guo Beyu nodded in approval, and then went to organize the manpower first.

The preset battlefield facing them will be a wide flat area in the Laizhou City area, which is the only way to attack Laizhou City, where 10,000 troops will line up several battle lines to meet their opponents.

This time, they didn't want to defend the city because they had an active X-shaped wooden fence barrier.

In fact, this is still the inspiration given to Wang Defa by Shi Tianze's siege of Jinan City...... This kind of detachable and assembleable obstacles, if there are two obstacles, no war horse can break through, between the two obstacles, the war horse has no distance to accelerate, then the cavalry on horseback is a living target.

Of course, it is also possible to block the impact of the infantry.

A great battle of 10,000 against 150,000 will be fought here.

After Shi Tianze, the prime minister of Zhongshu, and the attached horse and the thorn mountain successfully crossed the glue, they took a little rest and accelerated the march.

The area east of the glue is mostly plain, sometimes hilly, and the scouts they sent reported that the roads ahead were smooth and very safe, and some mountain villages were also empty.

Shi Tianze, the prime minister of Zhongshu, said: "They have all been captured into the two cities of Laizhou and Dengzhou, and they are obviously holding the people of our Great Khan hostage, so that we dare not attack the city easily......"

The attached horse suddenly stabbed the mountain and said leisurely: "Prime Minister, even if you lose some of it, it can only be regarded as caused by pirates!" ”

"Of course, but those pirates would not have thought that the old man would surround but not fight, as long as the Dengzhou dock was occupied at that time, we would get supplies from Binzhou, but the pirates would not have the opportunity to get help from outside.

Attached to the horse, General Ashu fought hard in the Xiangyang City area, precisely because they did not control the waterway...... Unexpectedly, that Liu Quan was just an embroidered pillow, and his belly was full of chaff, and he was defeated by Lu Wende, a person who was born as a charcoal seller, and defeated his water army! ”

Speaking of the battle in the area of Xiangyang City, the two of them discussed on the road.

Whether it was the Tatar bandit group or the Great Song government, almost all officials knew the situation.

The two sides have already formed a stalemate, and it is likely to continue.

The war had been going on for almost two years...... However, the two sides are not at all surprised by this time, because in their eyes, war is originally calculated in years.

Shi Tianze, the prime minister of Zhongshu, was ready to take the old way to besiege them, and he thought that this was the safest way to reduce the number of deaths.

He also brought a lot of small return cannons, and the large ones were ready to be made on the spot...... He never believed that pirates would dare to go out of the city to fight, and the 150,000 troops were dispatched together, how spectacular it was!

It's a pity that this time I'm afraid that the Khan's people will starve to death in vain, but cannibalism is also the norm in war.

Along the way, the detectives kept reporting back and forth, and the front was safe and sound.

Shi Tianxue, the prime minister of Zhongshu, pointed to the horse whip to the east and said: "After pacifying the pirates, appease the people here, you and I will go south again to help General Ashu, and at that time, I will retreat to the mountains and rivers and fields, and enjoy a prosperous world...... At that time, it will be the world of you young people! ”

His words were very touching and sincere, and he was a little moved after listening to it.

Although Kublai Lei, the big leader, trusted and reused the people of the financial management faction at that time, he absolutely trusted the Han ministers of the Han faction in education, and his crown prince and other sons and nephews gave them education, and strictly ordered them to follow the study seriously, and those who dared to disrespect the Han teachers were all whipped and never polite.

The Tatar bandit groups have always been very studious, and they have never rejected the excellent culture of foreign peoples. (To be continued.) )
