At the same time, the armies of Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang and other seven families also quickly approached Chuzhou.

Just as Lu Xiangsheng said, the peasants' military interests are in a quick war, which is not conducive to long-term persistence. In real history, Zhang and Gao put all their forces into battle at the beginning and fought a decisive battle with Lu Xiangsheng under the city of Chuzhou.

The peasant army rushed with all its might, but because of the carelessness in their hearts, the order was chaotic, and they could not talk about any tactics. The final result was naturally that Lu Xiangsheng was a step ahead, and he won an unprecedented victory, almost annihilating the main force of the thief army

。

However, the current situation seems to be very different from the real history, and Sun Yuan does not know whether it is good or bad.

It turned out that after Liu Zongmin's forward battalion was defeated by Sun Yuan at Qingliu Pass, it was originally a good thing to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger to make the peasant army fearful. But in this way, the thief army is much more cautious in its operations. It can be said that he is taking every step of the way, and he is easily unwilling to put all the main forces on the battlefield.

In the past few days, the scout cavalry and small units of the two armies have been dispatched to catch and fight on the battlefield within a radius of several hundred miles.

According to the real history, the results of this conference battle will be divided in half a month, but judging from the current situation, it is possible to fight for a month or two.

The troops dispatched by the outposts on both sides are all elite in the army, and they are all on the scale of 100 people, and this kind of war is more cruel than the general battle.

As for when the decisive battle will begin, both sides are waiting, waiting for the other side's morale to be exhausted in such a confrontation and the flaws will be revealed.

*******************************************************

Sun Yuan's Ningxiang army was no more than the strength of a thousand households, and in the eyes of both the enemy and us, this strength was not enough to have a decisive impact on the battlefield.

In addition, the Ming army thought that the so-called Qingliuguan victory was just a lie from Sun Yuan, and it was still possible to defeat a group of homeless people, but it was not the real main force of the thief army. Otherwise, how can you not see a slain head?

After coming down, Wen Laosan suggested that Sun Yuan simply dig up all the corpses of the enemies buried in the ground, cut off his head and send it to Fan Shangshu to correct the name of the Ningxiang Army. Sun Yuan felt that this proposal was really fucked up, and the fact that he was in the ground for peace and disturbed this soul was immoral. It's not that Sun Yuan has a moral purity, he was an atheist in his previous life, but since he can even encounter this kind of thing himself, the previous materialist belief has completely collapsed. He can't do anything that greatly damages yin morality.

Wen Laosan's proposal also made other generals in the army swagger, and in the eyes of the ancients, kicking the widow's door and digging up the grave was the biggest evil thing in the world.

So, everyone didn't take his words seriously.

Sun Yuan felt that this matter could no longer be solved by sending a few heads to the past

。 Fan Jingwen has already regarded himself as a remnant of the eunuch party, and he already has prejudices, no matter what he does, it is useless. Unless you make another great contribution like Qingliuguan, let everyone see it.

However, the number of new recruits in the unit increased by more than 1,000 at once, and its combat effectiveness declined so much that it could not be used on the battlefield at all until it underwent basic training.

Now this Chuzhou battle According to Sun Yuan's estimates, there will be at least half a month before the battle starts, which is very different from the real history, but it is also good, but it gives Sun Yuan the opportunity to reorganize the captured soldiers.

Fifteen days should be enough, right?

Sun Yuan's heart is not solid, as Zhu Xuanshui said, he Sun Yuan and the entire Ningxiang army need a victory too much.

Zhu Xuanshui probably didn't know the current problems of the Ningxiang Army and the problems exposed in the last battle, he now has some blind belief in the strength of the Ningxiang Army, and during this period of time, he soaked in Fan Jingwen's old camp of the Chinese army all day long, and fought with those noble sons and daughters who came to make meritorious contributions, just thinking about seeing if there was a way to get a battle.

Sun Yuanjun is located in a small town in the east of Chuzhou, and the Ningxiang army received the task of ensuring the logistics supply line, which is still twenty miles away from the battlefield.

In this way, it gave Sun Yuan time to train the recruits.

The entire town had fled before the war, and all the houses were empty. More than 10,000 captives lived in it at once, but it was not crowded.

The vast majority of the captives were old, weak, sick and young, and if you look at them, you can really think they are local residents.

At this moment, the people in the town shouted and neighed, and it was lively.

War horses rumbled through the streets, their hooves splashing sparks on the bluestone slabs.

Several of the horsemen tugged at their horse's mane and lay their heads behind their horses' necks, trying not to let themselves fall.

The fires on the side of the street were blazing, and blacksmiths were slapping horseshoes. It was bitterly cold, and a few horsemen huddled in the blacksmith's shop and made a slight noise.

Two more soldiers wiped the sweat from the war horses with rags, and laughed quietly: "Hey, I said Xiaosi, you really can't tell you what is going on in this world." A year ago, we were still the cavalry of the Shanxi army, and as soon as the thief army entered Shanxi, we captured prisoners and started a rebellious business

。 Now it has fallen into the hands of General Sun, and he has changed his clothes and become an officer and soldier again. It's really unclear whose clothes they will wear in the future, and who they will die for. ”

"Being a soldier eats food, and eating food and being a soldier is not what it is. No matter whose soldier we are, we just want to eat? As for being promoted and making a fortune, it was the period of the big shots, and those of us who were big soldiers could survive, and it was not a matter of who we worked for. ”

"yes, the key is to be able to live. In the past few years, whether we are in the thief army or as officers and soldiers, it seems that our luck is not very good, and we keep eating defeats, and we almost died in the chaos several times, such as the last time I ......" When I remembered the tragic situation of the crowd trampling on each other when I was clear at the Qingliu Pass, the face of the person who spoke turned pale, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

"That's Liu Zongmin useless, this birdman eats and drinks fiercely, kills people, but when he fights, he is a fool, 30,000 horses, and he insisted that General Sun's 1,000 musketeers will collapse the battalion. As a soldier under such fools, you don't know when you're going to die. ”

"Well, brother, you're right, aren't we soldiers just begging for a bite to eat and then survive on the battlefield? Actually, it's not bad to follow General Sun, at least the general succeeds in the war, as long as he doesn't lose the battle, no matter how lucky he is, the possibility of surviving is much greater than others. ”

"Hehe, you want to be beautiful, we're cavalrymen. I heard Miss Zhu say that we will be scouts in the future. This job is not easy to do, there have always been wars, and the scout cavalry has died the most. Hey, who called us cavalry, and we have been in the border army for many years. This time he was a prisoner of General Sun, but he was singled out. The man couldn't help but sigh.

"Look at your appearance, isn't it good to scout the cavalry, although they do all dangerous work, but life is good, there is meat in the sudden, can you imagine this day before? A good life is worth a day, even if you die. ”

"Yes, yes." The man also laughed, but sighed again in an instant: "Otherwise, the rules of Miss Zhu and her officers are too big, and training the soldiers is simply killing us." ”

"What is the origin of this Miss Zhu, it seems that the officers are a little afraid of her."

"You don't know what's going on. Although Miss Zhu is a woman, she has great strength, and an ordinary man says that she will turn it over. It is said that her father is a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and she has been with her father since she was a child, and she has traveled to Liaodong and Mongolia, which can be said to have grown up immediately. That horsemanship, tsk, you've seen it too, is much better than ours, just like the Tartars. The man said, squeezing his eyes again: "Also, this aunt seems to be going to be the wife of a thousand households in the future, and she can't afford to offend her...... Ah, general......"

While talking, the two saw Sun Yuan passing by the street with two guards, and they were startled, hurriedly closed their mouths, and lowered their heads

。

In fact, Sun Yuan had already listened to the conversation between the two people, and he only smiled, but he was not angry.

New scout cavalry has been formed, a hundred or so men.

The sources of these cavalry are very complicated, there are guards selected and transferred from the Ningxiang army, there are cavalry from the Shanxi Zhen army, and there are also peasant troops under Li Chuang. But among this group of people, there are only a dozen or so people who have actually fought in cavalry before, and the others are limited to the extent that they will not fall off while sitting on a galloping war horse, and such troops will naturally not be able to go to the battlefield and will not be useful.

So, you have to train for a long time.

Zhu Xuanshui stayed in Fan Jingwen's old camp of the Chinese army all day long, and put Zhu Ting in Sun Yuan's army.

This older young woman was idle, and when she saw that Sun Yuan sent someone to train cavalry, she went over to join in the fun. After watching it for a few days, he finally snatched the position of instructor unbearably: "Are you training the cavalry like this, and are you serving the war horses like this?" It's all a bunch of stupid people, practice like this, not to mention cavalry, even war horses have to be abolished by you. ”

The ambiguous relationship between Zhu Ting and Sun Yuan was already known to the soldiers in the battalion, and they vaguely felt that this eldest sister was the future master of the Ningxiang Army, and she wanted to snatch the command of the scout cavalry, and others did not dare to object.

At the beginning, Sun Yuan was still a little worried, but after learning about her training method, he was greatly relieved, and he suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment: It turns out that the cavalry is trained like this, this Zhu Ting is really a talent, and I, Sun Yuan, underestimate her!

As a cavalryman, the first lesson is not to learn how to use weapons, but to serve horses. You have to learn to brush the horse, wash the horse's face, and clean the mouth.

Cleaning your mouth, in particular, is often overlooked. War horses eat a lot, and the horse material, whether it is black beans or horse grass, is very hard, and the teeth of the war horse are worn a lot. Moreover, this kind of big animal has the habit of ruminating, and its mouth does not stop all day long. If the teeth are not good, the horse will be useless. You must use a brush dipped in water to clean the dregs between your teeth.

In addition to these, you have to learn to tie leggings to horses. The combat effectiveness of the war horse is directly reflected in the four legs, but it is strange to say that the body of the war horse is so huge, but the four legs are thin and long, and sometimes they are very fragile. If you don't fall down, you can break your leg, and the role of the leg guard is reflected at this time.
