Chapter Seventy-Nine: What Are the Vigilante Used For?

After listening to his story, after being silent for a while, Zhao Guohua said: "Li Baihu, the Tartars are a group of robbers who kill people and set fires, hiding is not a way, only by resisting can there be a way out, General Zhao Shujiao is an example for us to learn, if you still want to avenge General Zhao, fight with us and fight the Tartars together."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Guangli said: "General, you are right, say it, what do you want me to do?" ”

"I need to know the number of troops of the Tartar One Banner and the situation of the soldiers." Zhao Guohua said, picking up a pen and paper.

Recalled, Li Guangli said: "The basic combat of the Tartars is called Niu Lu, each Niu Lu 300 households, each household out of a strong man, the father dies and the son succeeds, the brother dies and the younger brother dies, and there are 100 people in each Niu Lu who are armored soldiers, and the armored soldiers are divided into 50 infantry armor and 40 horse vests. The vested men were in bright and dark armor, with fifty arrows and one bow and one sword, and were led by two Tartar officers called Divishiku. The infantry was led by two infantrymen, both of whom wore black tassels. All of them have a two-foot square back flag. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, he wanted to wait for Zhao Guohua to remember these materials.

After remembering these materials, Zhao Guohua said: "You continue." ”

Nodding, Li Guangli said again: "Regardless of the vest and step armor, every few or ten people have a chief, and the Tartar calls it the small leader of the specialty." The rest are auxiliaries. There are two types of followers, those with horses, and those without armor on foot. In addition, there are more than a dozen to dozens of blacksmiths and saddlers in each cow. In general combat, there are only a few dozen people per cow. 5 Ox Lu is 1 Jiala, and 1 Jiala is really 1 person; 5 Jiala is 1 solid mountain, and 1 solid mountain is set up. ”

"So, the Tartar has 7,500 for a flag?" Zhao Guohua said.

Nodding, Li Guangli said, "Not bad, this number. It sounds like a lot, but it is also divided into soldiers and auxiliaries, and the soldiers are about 3~4 into more than 5 into 5 into them, but never more than 6 into the others, all of them are auxiliary soldiers, what are the auxiliary soldiers, in fact, they are encamped, and when they fight, they wave their flags and shout strongly, and by the way, push the carts, attract firepower, or soldiers, hand-to-hand combat or soldiers, and when you really want to send auxiliaries, the battle situation is relatively bad......"

After listening to Li Guangli's introduction to the basic situation of the Qing army, Zhao Guohua pondered for a moment and said: "The Tartars may be coming soon, time is pressing, you go and settle the family, come to me to help." ”

"Yes. I'll go. Li Guangli said, bowed his hand, and left.

Seeing that Li Guangli was gone, Zhao Guohua began to sort out the information of the Tartars.

The sentry ran over and said, "Report, I found that there are Tartars coming here, it seems that there are more than a thousand people." ”

"Ahh With an exclamation, the craftsmen and farmers stopped what they were doing.

Their faces turned pale, and they looked at Zhao Guohua in horror, and some of them looked around, ready to run away.

Glancing at everyone, Zhao Guohua said in a relaxed tone: "It's just more than a thousand tartars, it's nothing big, everyone continues to work." ”

Seeing him like this, most of the people calmed down, but there were still a few people who looked into the distance while working.

"All assembled!" Zhao Guohua gave an order, and soon the Volunteer Brigade was arrayed.

Looking at the team members in front of him, Zhao Guohua shouted the password: "Take a break!" Attention! Look to the right, look forward! ”

The team members held knives, guns and guns and firearms according to the order, and looked at Zhao Guohua with blazing eyes

Looking at everyone, Zhao Guohua said: "Brothers, we are going to fight with the Tartars, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid. Tartar too, a shot over the same to see Hades. Niu Huan said loudly.

"The Tartar is also an ordinary person, and if he slashes his neck, he will also cut off his dog's head." Cheng Chong said loudly.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhao Guohua said: "Okay, you are right, there is nothing to shoot in the Tartars, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, today is the first battle between us and the Tartars, we want the Tartars to know how powerful the Ming is." Our slogan is to use me in the first battle, and use me to win! ”

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win! Use me in the first battle, use me to win! The team members chanted slogans.

Garrison Li Xian and Qianhu Tang Zhenbei stood on the city tower and looked at the volunteers outside the city, listening to this passionate slogan, Qianhu Tang Zhenbei said: "Use me in the first battle, use me to win!" The tone is not small, but I don't know how to do it. ”

"Whether we have this strength or not, we will soon know, and the team that can shout such a domineering slogan must not be too bad." Garrison Li Xian said lightly.

In the sound of tom tom's footsteps, more than a thousand Qing troops gradually approached.

Seeing these Qing troops, the atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense, the soldiers involuntarily stood up straight, clenched their swords and guns, and some auxiliaries began to prepare rolling logs, stones, bows and arrows and other equipment to defend the city.

"Afraid of what? Relax your mind. It's just more than a thousand Tartars, and there are still volunteers outside the city. The garrison Li Xian cheered for the soldiers.

After hearing this, I looked at the volunteer brigade and the soldiers guarding the city standing solemnly outside the city, and my mood relaxed a little.

Li Xian nodded, and then turned his head to look at the city, he wanted to see how this volunteer brigade would deal with the Tartars.

"The Volunteer Brigade is a militia group, and its combat strength is not strong, although there are more than 5,000 people, but against the more than 1,000 elite people of the Tartars, it is estimated that it is a bit hanging, I hope that there will not be too many casualties in this Volunteer Brigade." Tang Zhenbei said worriedly.

In his mind, more than 5,000 officers and troops against more than 1,000 Tartars, the results are not optimistic, not to mention the militia that is not even an ordinary official army, and he clearly knows the combat power of the Tartars.

The Tartars violated the border many times, and the Ming army fought against them, almost losing repeatedly.

Seeing the more than 5,000 people dressed in black and blue clothes, Bikota already knew that the soldiers who killed more than 50 of his own soldiers were the people in this team.

The enemy's eyes were very red when they saw him, and Bi Keta pointed to the queue of the volunteer brigade, gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Jiala, those Ming Dynasty people who killed more than 50 of our Manchurian warriors are in the same group as these people. ”

Listening to Biketa's words, Duolong Ao didn't say a word, he was carefully observing the team on the other side.

The more he looked, the more puzzled he became, looking at the team opposite, the formation was neat, the military appearance was neat, it was obviously a well-trained army, but the clothes he wore were not the style of the Ming army.

So he said: "Call Chen **** over, I have something to ask him." ”

Chen **** is a county in the north of the Ming Dynasty, because of greed for life and fear of death, the Tartars besieged the city, he did not let go of an arrow, he opened the city gate and surrendered, the Tartars sealed him a position of Mele Zhangjing, specifically responsible for the management of the Jialali household registration, field house, military registration, litigation and other matters.

trotted to Duolong Ao, and after Chen **** knelt and kowtowed, he raised his head, and said with a slave-like smile, "Master, do you have anything to do with looking for a minion?" ”

Glancing at him in disgust, Duolong Ao said: "Chen Zhangjing, you stand up and take a look at the Ming Dynasty army opposite, do you recognize what kind of team this is, why don't I look like a Ming army?" ”

"Yes. The slave thanked the master. Chen **** stood up with a smile, then hunched over and turned to look at the opposite side.

After looking at it for a while, he could see what kind of team was on the other side.

He had served as a magistrate and knew that there were only two kinds of people in Daming who were qualified to have a large number of weapons, one was the army, and the other was the militia formed by the magistrates themselves to maintain local security.

Since these people did not wear the clothes of the Ming army, they belonged to the militia group.

"Master, these people are local militias." Chen **** smiled and bowed his waist to report.

"Local militias? What is it used for? Dolon Ao asked.

Chen **** said with a smile: "The local militia is a civilian armed force established by the magistrates of the Ming Dynasty to maintain local law and order, and it is just to catch a few thieves and scare and scare the people." ”

After listening to Chen ****'s words, Bi Keta pursed his lips, looked at him viciously, and scolded in his heart: "A despicable Han dog will talk nonsense." When you say this, it doesn't mean that the more than 100 warriors under Lao Tzu are not as good as thieves......"

"Oh, that's right, since it's a militia group, there's no need to bother. Biketa, you and Temur, each with a hundred vests, rushed over to discourage them, and touched their bottoms. Doron Ao said.

Temur was a Mongol, with good archery skills and great strength, and he was also a well-received Paishku.

Soon, two hundred cavalry were ready, just waiting for Dolong Ao to give the order to attack

Opposite the Qing army, Zhao Guohua held a telescope in his hand, and saw the layout of the Qing army clearly, after seeing it, he put down the telescope and ordered: "Five hundred firecrackers are a team, divided into six teams, take turns to shoot, and the commandos are pressed to prevent the Tartar cavalry from charging into the formation, and the pikemen are holding shields and arrows, and they are on standby." Squadron Leader Huang Deguan led the team into battle. ”

According to Zhao Guohua's order, squadron leader Huang Deguan stood with 500 firecrackers, lined up in a dense formation, holding firecrackers to face the Qing army.

Seeing the militia on the opposite side holding firearms, thinking of the terrible gunshot, Bikota's heart was a little weak.

Glancing at the other side with disdain, Duo Long Ao said: "Warriors, don't be afraid, the Ming army's firecracker is a joke, at most you can only shoot one shot, as long as you rush over, these despicable Ming dogs on the opposite side will let you cut and kill, rush over, victory will belong to us, Qing warriors, rush over, rush ah......"

"Rush...... Kill, ......" The two hundred vests screamed wildly, and rushed over with a scimitar in hand. The shiny scimitar shone in the sunlight, shining with a cold swishing light.

Looking at the majesty of the Qing cavalry when they charged, although the defenders at the head of the city were far away, they also felt a strong murderous aura, and some timid soldiers had seen their faces pale, their bodies trembled, and a few people were even chattering with their teeth.
