"It's good to have auxiliaries." Xu Zhen drank the broth, made a loud noise, and stuffed the freshly heated wheat cake into his mouth.

Of course, the leaders of the gang will not make it on the line during the march, but this cake is a little more chewy when it is hot, and it feels more fragrant to eat.

"The broth is fucking salty again...... Lin Nanxing's buttocks moved, a little farther away from the evil-looking Xu Zhen...... Lin Nanxing has only joined the cavalry for four months, and after half a year of cavalry training in Lizhuang, even if he is from a family of guards, his father is still a thousand households, and he has been riding horses and archery since he was a child...... There are not a few children of the current military attache of the guard, and even the children of the military attache families of the thousand households and the commanding level of the military attache family who have joined the merchant group.

The merchant group soldiers have a good image, excellent treatment, and there is a great possibility of promotion, these guards are betting that Zhang Han may form a new general in the future.

In addition, each bureau is equipped with a bureau of cavalry auxiliaries, which are formal auxiliaries, not baggage soldiers or engineers, cavalry auxiliaries also have to receive riding training, technical and tactical training, and auxiliaries are also a supplement to the regular soldiers...... At this point, Zhang Han hopes that the auxiliaries will not become pure miscellaneous errands, and the long-term career of the auxiliaries can exercise their riding skills and fighting will, and the experience has also been gained from countless wars.

Because of this consideration, the auxiliaries are almost selected according to the standard of the regular cavalry, and the salary is half of that of the regular cavalry.

The auxiliaries came and sat down after taking care of the horses, and then the cavalrymen had almost eaten and drunk, and the cooks brought the second round of food, and the auxiliaries began to sit down and drink soup and eat cakes.

Xu Zhen and Lin Nanxing stood up, and the team officer signaled that they could move freely, and the two began to walk on the grassland.

At this time, the wind is getting more and more urgent, the temperature is also very obvious, and the snow is falling.

Xu Zhen complained: "The weather was warm a while ago, and the grass tips came out, but this time it's good, and I feel like I'm back in winter." ”

"Fortunately, there is no need to march in armor now...... Lin Nanxing also said with palpitations: "Marching in cuirass on the coldest day, that crime is really not easy to bear." ”

Xu Zhen changed color slightly, turned around to look at his auxiliaries, and saw that the kid was drinking broth and eating cakes, and his cuirass was on his back on the miscellaneous horse that the auxiliaries had just fed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there are auxiliary soldiers now......

"Cavalry Division, Level 3 Alert!"

Zhu Dayong's order came from afar, and the auxiliaries hurriedly put down the lunch box in their hands, with cakes in their mouths, and the people had already rushed to the war horse.

Lin Nanxing and Xu Zhen stopped chatting, and when their horses came, the two stood beside the horses, holding the reins and waiting.

"Level 2 alert!"

Tang Ma rode his horse and ran this way, the coachmen and soldiers in the convoy were still eating and drinking, and they also had to take care of the mules and horses, but fortunately the soldiers and coachmen did not have to help the infantry with chores, so the infantry did not finish eating, and when they heard the second level of alert, the infantry also quickly put down their food and stood on the side of the road and began to line up.

Lin Nanxing and Xu Zhen began to put on their armor, the two of their auxiliaries and the rest of the auxiliaries took the cuirass, helped the knights put on the cuirass, and then helped them put on the iron helmet, and it was only a few minutes for everyone to put on it, and then the cavalry got on their horses and raised the flintlock pistol horizontally on their chests.

Xu Zhen held the gun in his hand and complained: "I heard that the effective range of the infantry's flintlock pistol is one hundred and twenty paces, and the first-class shooter within 100 steps can shoot at a humanoid target, and more than half of the people can hit the target within 60 to 80 steps, and those who do not hit the target within 60 steps are considered unqualified...... Damn, our gun, eighty steps to hit the target is a dog luck, sixty steps to grasp is bigger, can hit a big target, really want to shoot and kill, that is, forty steps, than the bow and arrow of the northern captives is stronger. ”

Lin Nanxing held the musket horizontally, feeling the wooden handle and iron parts slowly becoming warm in his hands, he didn't speak, but kept stroking the love gun on his chest...... This gun has actually been deeply loved by the cavalry, it is easy to put it immediately, it saves a lot of steps than the arquebus, and the power is not small, the military and political department has calculated, the bow and arrow of the northern captives will shoot fifty or sixty paces away, if you want to shoot a seriously wounded war horse or cavalry, it must be at least forty steps to form an effective kill, and the flintlock cavalry of the cuirassiers can pose a serious threat to the northern captives wearing jackets sixty paces, forty steps to hit the northern captives is almost a target, and the bows and arrows of the northern captives are useless to shoot on the cuirass.

"Alert!"

The shouts of the pond horses were heard in the distance, and the people breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Nanxing stuffed the flintlock pistol into the pocket on the side of his horse, the gun was on the right side, and there was a pocket for the riding knife on the left side, and everyone wore a fine iron riding knife, the knife was a straight knife, and it was stabbed straight by the wrist when sprinting, and the power was much stronger than the waist knife used to chop.

Xu Zhen muttered in his mouth, in fact, he also loved his musket like a treasure, and he carefully put the musket in the leather slip pocket.

"When did Lao Tzu pay for it himself and buy a custom-made flintlock pistol for infantry......"

"Don't fucking be troublesome kid...... Lin Nanxing scolded: "Shoot it immediately, you use a fart for such a long gun." ”

"Let's go, come up and have a look." Xu Zhen couldn't help but be idle, and instigated: "There is a team of people in front, I don't know what to do." ”

"It's all about your fucking ......"

Lin Nanxing scolded, but also went forward with Xu Zhen.

It's time to rest, and as long as military law doesn't prohibit it, it's up to you to do whatever you want.

The cavalry were still on horseback, and there were a lot of people riding forward to see the excitement, the infantry and the baggage soldiers and the coachmen were still eating, and it was not as convenient as riding horses to walk, but few of them rushed up to see the excitement.

When Lin Nanxing and Xu Zhen arrived, a team of people had already converged with Zhu Dayong and others, and the two sides were talking.

Yang Sisun also rode over, the officers talked to the visitors, and the periphery was guarded by guards, and the cavalry simply made a look of guards, but fortunately, there were no officers to drive them away.

"There is not much snow in front ......of you," said the man, wearing a dogskin hat and wrapped around his whole body like a bear, with a big tongue, "even if you walk an extra hundred miles, what is this to you?" ”

This person spoke Mongolian, and Lin Nanxing, Xu Zhen and others had all learned Mongolian, but they all listened without hindrance.

"It's not a matter of how many miles." Yang Sisun said in proficient Mongolian language: "Even if it is ten miles of land, if there is no communication in advance, it is impossible for us to have a plan here...... Tan Tai, you fucking dealt with us on the first day, and you don't know the rules on our side? ”

"Rules, rules!" Tan Tai spewed white gas in his mouth and said loudly: "Talking about rules also about friends, do you want to?" ”

Yang Sisun and Zhu Dayong were speechless...... Of course, you can't talk about friends with Dongyu, but only the high-level people on Yusheng's side know some of Zhang Han's attitude, and the middle and lower levels only know that they are doing business with Dongyu and Beiyu, of course, this is not treason, if it is a so-called friend, even if it is not an ally, it means that the betrayal of the Ming Dynasty and the cooperation of Yi Chong, the high-level who know the inside story has nothing, but I am afraid that the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers will have strange feelings in their hearts.

Zhu Dayong thought for a while and said, "A hundred miles is really nothing to us, but your manpower is really so tight?" ”

"Indeed!" Tan Tai said: "This time I didn't bring enough Niu Lu over, and Shu Mu didn't come, so I counted on Ming'an Taiji in Horqin to help, we formed a small convoy to push, which can save more than 100 miles, which means that the army in front of us can eat food three days earlier!" ”

Yang Sisun said: "Your food shortage is so serious, and the army in front is almost out of food?" ”

"Of course there is enough food." Tan Tai said: "It's just very nervous, and if you can go up earlier, you can go up earlier." ”

"This turtle grandson doesn't tell the truth...... Yang Sisun said to Zhu Dayong in Chinese: "Maybe how short of food they are, look like this bird." ”

"Dongyu has already crossed the Sancha River and the Liao River with all his main forces...... Zhu Dayong said with a gloomy face: "Xiping is besieging Xiping, Zhenwu Forts, and the attack is very urgent." ”

"The garrisons of the forts are very strong." An officer of Yang Sisun's level can see the internal military situation summary, and the military information in Liaodong is also sent in a steady stream, he said with a calm face: "Liu Qu, Qi Bingzhong, Zu Dashou, Sun Degong, all good generals, there are at least tens of thousands of armored soldiers in Liaodong, plus Xiping Fort is the deputy chief soldier Luo has always been stubborn, I think the Eight Banners should be quickly taken, there should be no such possibility." ”

"The important thing is that the Mongols are not contained in the forts." Zhu Dayong said: "Liao affairs are corrupted, Liaoyang, Shenyang's loss, one loss is in the military generals are eager to establish merit, rush to battle, the second defeat is Yuan Yingtai, the governor of the gullible Beiyu, contained into the city, when the critical time these spies opened the city is bad, now the Liaodong princes and generals will not make such mistakes no matter how stupid they are, I think it will not be easy to fail, right?" According to the forts and the large army gathered in Quang Ninh, this battle will not be lost. ”

The current Guangning has indeed assembled the last elite of the Ming army in Liaodong...... The elite of the old Liao town in the first battle of Salhu was lost, and the soldiers of the towns of Xuanda also died a lot, and then the battle of Shenyang and Liaoyang, this time it was not only Liaodong that died, but the elite soldiers and horses of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.

As for Guangning, in addition to the soldiers and horses transferred from other towns, it is the soldiers and horses of the generals of Liaoxi, only 12 of the soldiers of Liaoxi have fought, and there are very few veterans.

"I said, 'What the hell are you doing?'

The bear-like Tan Tai was anxious, and roared loudly, the two people in front of him communicated in Chinese, he could only understand a few words, but he couldn't understand a single word.

"Don't rush!" Yang Sisun rolled his eyes and said: "This is a big deal, both of us are at the same level, there is no boss, isn't this being discussed." ”

Tan Tai felt speechless, and at the same time felt strange about the mechanism on He Yusheng's side.
