The ten cavalry phalanxes also wore what kind of Gothic plate armor that wrapped the whole body, but the plate armor of the legs of these cavalry and the infantry changed slightly, the inner thigh of the cavalry did not have plate armor, only the outer thigh was covered with plate armor, I think this was to reduce the weight of the war horse, and the inner thigh of the cavalry did not need the protection of plate armor.

The other eleven phalanxes were musketeers in half-gothic plate armor, all of them holding a new type of musket that had never been seen before.

Behind the muskets were thirty guns with carriages, and from the appearance of these guns, the barrels of these guns were particularly thin, only half a finger thick, according to the understanding of the iron hand, such guns were afraid that they would explode in two runs.

Next to the whole procession were nearly a hundred neat four-wheeled carriages, with wooden seats on both sides of the carriages, and a lot of materials piled up in the middle, which were about nearly 1,000 catties by sight

Tie Shou was born in the end, and immediately found that this army was not simple, Jinyi Wei Nanzhen Fu Si Zhenfu recruited Jin Yiwei in Tongzhou, Tie Shou knew, but it was only a short period of more than three months, Yang Tingjian trained those refugees into elite soldiers, which completely subverted the scope of Tie Shou's understanding.

So Tie Shou was confused, what kind of person is this Yang Tingjian! Could it be that he has the ability to turn decay into magic, Tie Shou couldn't understand Yang Tingjian, so he cast his eyes on Yang Tingjian, and Yang Tingjian was also looking at Tie Shou, this kid was stunned when he saw the new army he trained.

As a result, the eyes of the two met, so they had to look at each other and smile, what Tie Shou wanted was to continue to understand the new army and Yang Tingjian, but what Yang Tingjian wanted was to wait until Shanxi, and then clean up your kid and let you spy on Lao Tzu.

"Driving ......" Yang Tingjian clamped the war horse under his crotch with his legs, ran to the front of the team with a "da-da", and began to say loudly:

"Hello comrades!"

"Hello adults!"

"Comrades have worked hard."

"Your Excellency, you've worked hard."

Whether the iron hand was shocked by the shouts all day long, he was even more stumped by a new term, comrades can be understood, like-minded people are comrades, in fact, the iron hand guessed eight or nine is not far from ten.

Yang Tingjian is very satisfied with the spirit of his soldiers, this is the so-called morale! As long as these soldiers have seen blood on the battlefield, they are truly invincible and strong, and Yang Tingjian is absolutely confident that he will defeat Jiannu in the field.

"I ordered everyone to pedal...... Let's go. ”

"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... 1,2……”

One by one, the phalanx began to move, and the iron hand found an insignificant detail, all the soldiers were out and down at the same time, which was basically the same, although the speed of each phalanx moved relatively fast, but with the cooperation of the slogan, there was no confusion at all.

Iron Hand is completely convinced in the bottom of his heart, this is the strongest army in the world! As long as Daming has a few more such troops, why worry about the thieves and Jiannu.

All the phalanxes ran to the front and back of their own row of four-wheeled carriages, and began to pedal in an orderly manner, without confusion.

Soon the cavalry began to set off at night, each group was about ten people, and Yang Tingjian sent ten groups at one time, and they galloped in all directions.

These cavalry are well equipped, Gothic plate armor plus five-eyed guns and embroidered spring knives, but as soon as this cavalry runs, the iron hand will find the problem, these cavalry are not skilled in horsemanship, and can only be said to be barely able to fight.

These cavalrymen can have such riding skills, it is already good, only more than three months of training, Le Yichuan in order to train his subordinates, that is ruthless, each cavalry even eats on horseback, can not be less than 12 hours a day, it can be seen how difficult the training of cavalry is.

In a moment, the whole convoy began to hit the road, with the infantry convoy at the front, the musketeer convoy in the middle, the silver carts and artillery, and the cavalry at the back.

Yang Tingjian's riding skills are also average, the six arts of the gentleman is riding and shooting, Yang Tingjian in order to improve his riding skills, so he did not take a four-wheeled carriage. Yang Tingjian obviously knew that the Red Lady had a separate four-wheeled carriage, but Yang Tingjian just didn't go in to warm up.

The red lady is now the captain of the errand team, in charge of more than 600 people, in the past it was more than 500 people, and in the later period, because the four-wheeled carriage drivers needed by the entire army were not enough, more than 100 people were temporarily recruited in Tongzhou.

These pilots also have to undergo military training, but the intensity is not as high as that of the soldiers, and when the soldiers have casualties, they are to replenish the soldiers.

More than 300 four-wheeled carriages lined up in a long queue on the official road, the official road surface is still relatively spacious, but it is a little in disrepair, the ground is also a little potholed, fortunately, the rain at the end of the Ming Dynasty is less, the road surface is still relatively dry, but the speed can not be too fast, but it is not a problem to travel 100 miles a day.

The movement speed of the entire army is very fast, which is of course an advantage, but such a force is more dependent on the road, and everything has its positive and negative sides, depending on how the person in charge makes use of his strengths and avoids his weaknesses.

The cold wind could not stop Yang Tingjian's hurried footsteps, fortunately, all the soldiers were in the carriage, and they also had cotton clothes to keep out the cold, but the armor could not be taken off, only when they were encamped, Yang Tingjian would let half of the soldiers take off their armor to rest, and the next night they were in rotation.

The defense of the Gothic plate armor is good, and the weight is not large, but it is extremely cumbersome to wear, and it will take two or three minutes to put on it with the assistance of someone, what to do if it encounters an enemy attack, so at most half of the soldiers can take off their armor and rest.

The convoy quickly passed the security guards and arrived at Xuanfu, and it took more than 400 miles in the past few days, even if all the people were in the car, they were very tired, although those Jinyi Wei Xinjun did not complain, but Yang Tingjian knew that this matter had to stop and rest for two days, in order to restore the body of the soldiers.

You must know that after this Xuanfu, it is the real border pass, this official road is basically leaning on the border, not to mention the horse thieves for the time being, the Mongolian Tartars often come in from the mouth of the broken Great Wall to plunder.

The great disasters continue to be continuous, and the disasters of the grasslands are even more severe, that is, the "white disaster", the heavy snow covers the entire Mongolian steppe under nearly half a meter of deep snow, countless cattle and sheep are frozen to death, these Mongolian Tartars can only enter the Kou to loot in order to survive, and the border guard of the Ming Dynasty, where there is the ability to go to the field to fight these Mongolian Tartars, guarding the Tunpu is almost the same.

Yang Tingjian's convoy must take the official road, otherwise the detour is too far, even if it is detoured, it is also a mountain path, where it is not very peaceful, and the mountains will limit the power of Yang Tingjian's troops.

On the evening of the day when Yang Tingjian arrived at Xuanfu with the convoy, it was already evening, but as soon as Xuanfu City saw a large group of people coming, he closed the city gate early, and some soldiers were also sent to the city wall.
