The Ming Dynasty guard system was a military system of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, from the Beijing division down to the counties, all set up guards and institutes, the external control was in the capital division, and the internal control was in the five military governors' mansions.

That is to say, the commanders of the provinces and the provinces of the provinces are under the jurisdiction of the five military governors of the imperial court, while the Jiangsu commanders are subordinate to the central rear army governors, and Xu Hongji, as the governor of the left, can control the guards.

The commander of the embassy has a number of guards under his jurisdiction, and the guards have a certain number of thousands of households and hundreds of households. 5,600 soldiers are one guard, 1,120 are one house, and each guard is generally set up with 5,000 houses on the left, right, center, front, and back;

A thousand households should have one thousand and twelve military households. More than 1,000 households are enough to provide 300 to 500 soldiers for a 1,000-unit corps, and with sufficient weapons and equipment, they can also bear the food and salary of these soldiers.

And Changzhou Wei is supposed to have thousands of households, in ancient times it is not as good as now, the older generation can not be separated if they do not die, there are at least five or six people in a household, and tens of thousands of people can only fight those dozens of families, it is conceivable how relaxed the Jiangnan military equipment is, no wonder the millions of troops in the four towns of Nanming at that time, and the Yangtze River moat in hand, in the face of more than 100,000 Qing troops who are not adapted to the water and soil, they actually collapsed in a battle, which is not surprising!

"Yang Gong, at this moment, we should take the opportunity to send troops to defeat them?" Cao Wenzhao asked.

"No, they dare to come to Nanjing, because they are afraid of the court after the fact, so they have to come after receiving Nanjing's request for help, if we defeat the Changzhou guard at this moment, the other guards will definitely flee from the wind, then in the end, I have to go to pull out the nails one by one, it is better to wait for them to gather, and then kill them all."

"But Yang Gong, if they enter the city, what should we do?"

"Into the city?" Yang Su sneered disdainfully, "When have you ever seen an officer or army that can enter the city?" ”

Cao Wenzhao shook his head with a gloomy expression.

Thieves are like combs, soldiers are washed, this sentence is not a rumor, in the eyes of the common people, thieves are indeed hateful, but the official army is not a good thing, the military discipline of the Ming army is almost none, the ability to burn, kill and plunder is not worse than the rogue, and there is the name of the official army, and there is no scruple to do this kind of thing.

The most absurd thing is that there is a kind of craftsman who is most respected in the army, and they can make up the head of a woman as a man to take the lead of the army. This kind of craftsman treatment can catch up with grass-roots officers, and they are all treasures in various armies, and they don't need to go to the battlefield at all.

Therefore, the Yue family army, which froze to death and did not demolish the house, starved to death and did not plunder, was loved by the people for thousands of years. And the Ming army has never been able to enter their own city, which is normal, and Zhao Shujiao, the general of the late Ming Dynasty, was killed by his own people in this way.

Therefore, Yang Su dared to conclude that everyone in Nanjing City would not agree to let the official army enter the city!

Things turned out to be as Yang Su expected, Changzhou Wei, who rushed to Nanjing that night, took advantage of the night to come to the south gate of Nanjing City to ask to enter the city, but was categorically refused, just let them camp against the city wall, fortunately the city kept throwing food and other military supplies, otherwise Changzhou Wei was afraid that there would be a mutiny at that time.

Yang Su did not attack, the official army naturally did not dare to raise the tiger's whiskers, the two sides confronted each other like this, but the reinforcements from all over the country continued to gather more and more, and in just a few days, there were 100,000 officers and troops inside and outside Nanjing.

The daily consumption of 100,000 troops plus the conscripted people is enough to make people feel painful. At this time, it happened that the red lady had not yet arrived, and the thousands of cavalry under the city and Yang Su had not shown anything all the time, which made the big people in the city feel that the rogue was weak and could be bullied.

They were reluctant to spend any more money, just like Chongzhen, who had no money back then, and repeatedly forced the officials and troops to fight a decisive battle with Yang Su!

Xu Gan, who knew military affairs, was unwilling to fight, and the 100,000 officers and soldiers were unwilling to fight, but unfortunately his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and in the end Xu Hongji couldn't withstand the pressure and forced Xu Qian to go out of the city to fight.

After the officers and troops inside and outside Nanjing converged, 100,000 officers and soldiers plus thousands of elite families in the city, and the officers and troops lined up several layers of large formations in front of them to prevent the cavalry from breaking through the formation, and more than 1,000 cavalry with armor elites were distributed on both wings of the army. With the sound of loud drums that shook the earth and shook the earth, it was necessary to fight to the death with the rogue.

The spearmen of the 100,000 Ming infantry in the middle of the front to meet the enemy walked in the front, in the middle were sword and shield soldiers, and at the back were soldiers with firearms.

Of course, Xu Hongji did not dare to go into battle in person and watch the battle at the head of the city, Xu Gan as Xu Hongji's general, although this army is nominally in charge of Xu Hongji, in fact, it is still under his command, Xu Qian in the Chinese army with the banner to lead 100,000 rabble, can still get out of a bit of momentum, is still quite talented!

I saw Xu Qian holding the Zhangliu Red Flag, waving it mightily, and all the commanders and envoys in the army and thousands of households also obeyed the instructions, adjusted the pace of his subordinates, and maintained the formation without chaos.

After all, if the infantry wants to fight against the cavalry, they rely on the depth of the formation, as long as they resist the impact of the cavalry and let them fall into the formation, the sword and shield hand can play a role.

Everything went according to the best that Xu Qian had predicted in advance, and thousands of rogues stopped outside the camp and quietly watched the officers and soldiers line up and push towards them step by step.

It wasn't until the officers and soldiers walked three miles away that Yang Su stepped forward and took a closer look, although he had not systematically studied the art of war formations, but he was already familiar with these conventional formations in actual combat.

"Everyone!" Yang Su said.

The generals in the army hurriedly bowed their heads and obeyed the order.

"You also know what the officers and soldiers on the other side look like, I don't have anything to say, just fight!" Yang Su pointed to the hundreds of horseback soldiers on the right flank of the official army and said, "Wait a minute, Cao Wenzhao will lead three thousand Guanning iron cavalry to test the attack from the right flank first, try the quality of that group of family members, and the rest of the troops will follow behind me and listen to my orders before acting!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Cao Wenzhao hugged his fists.

Yang Suze stepped forward, drew his sword, and shouted at the army, "Attack the whole army!" ”

With the sound of a horn, the soldiers and horses of each department began to charge forward slowly, and thousands of cavalry spread forward as terrifyingly as the tide, and Cao Wenzhao's speed gradually increased, and went straight to the right flank of the official army.

One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps, Cao Wenzhao shouted, "Shoot!" ”

There was a crackling sound, and with the salvo of the three-eyed god in Guan Ning's iron rider, there were bursts of screams on the opposite side, and I don't know how many people were shot and fell off their horses in the smoke screen. Cao Wenzhao lifted the hundred-pound spear made of stainless steel in his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and took the lead in rushing into the family, the spear flew left and right, there was no enemy, no one stood on the horse within a radius of one zhang, and hundreds of elite families were killed and defeated in an instant.

However, with the obstruction of the cavalry, Xu Qian also took the opportunity to re-change the formation of the official army, at this moment Cao Wenzhao had erected a dense spear formation in front of him, and the spears in the back row stretched out from the gaps in the human body, and the front of the formation was densely packed with cold stars.

Cao Wenzhao ignored it, rode his horse suddenly, and the spear in his hand directly swept off the spear in front of him, and the heavily armored iron horse rushed straight into the formation. Cao Wenzhao took the lead in breaking a hole, and the rest of the iron cavalry followed, and in an instant, the crazy slashing and collision trampling, the spear formation of the officers and soldiers of the goods collapsed instantly, and more than 100,000 people were killed and wounded, and they began to flee frantically, and they shouted "defeated!" Defeated! Run for your life! ”

In order to escape and trample on the officers and soldiers themselves, there were more people who died under the hooves of Guanning Tieqi's horses before, and many soldiers never got up after falling.

At this time, Yang Sucai and his men were about to start to charge faster, and they saw that the official army had been defeated, Yang Su knew that the official army was vulnerable, and he didn't think that he would be so wasteful, except for the previous deployment and charge, it only took half a cup of tea to really defeat the 100,000 official army.

Yang Suyi waved his hand, "Liu Guoneng, you can quickly lead your subordinates down to capture the prisoners!" Let them stop running, or there will be more people who will be trampled to death, remember to kill all those officers for me, and the rest of the soldiers will surrender and not kill! ”

When I was a child, if I was away from home, there was no place to pee. Mom would take a bottle of mineral water and let her put her little brother in it to pee. When I grew up, I occasionally wanted to reminisce about that childlike fun, but I found that I couldn't reach into it anymore. I can't help but be stunned, time is gone, this is cruel youth......
