Chapter 275: How to Deal with Cavalry?

"Recruited! It is Liu Yuhou Liu Shenghai of Shuishan! ”

Ling Ming came out of the shed where the prisoners were held, clapped his hands and said coldly, "This is the richest master in the east of Jeju Island, with thousands of herdsmen, seven or eight thousand horses, and hundreds of families...... Son, as soon as you go to Chengshan Island, he will stare at it, and take advantage of the great tide to kill us, wanting to slaughter us clean! ”

Ling Ming came back from Jingyi County to inform Chu Fan of the progress of this time, but he didn't expect to encounter this incident - Jinyiwei was really extraordinary, and as soon as he made a move, the two captives recruited everything.

Chu Meng looked at Ling Ming, who was clean from head to toe, in surprise, and after circling around him, he asked, "Brother Ling, how did you get them to speak?" …… I tried all the tricks just now, and the knives were bent, but those two miscellaneous just didn't open their mouths! ”

Ling Ming smiled but didn't speak, Chu Meng turned around and wanted to go to see which shed, but Ling Ming shouted, "Don't go, they're all dead." "It's said lightly, it seems that it's not two people who died, it's just a cat and a dog.

Chu Meng admired it even more now, and followed Ling Ming's ass with admiration, pestering him to learn the tricks of this interrogation.

Chu Fan naturally ignored his careful thoughts, and rearranged the affairs on the island, and he asked Shen Teng to be on guard, so that the junior aunt could take away all the tools, wood, and everything they could take away - before he killed this Liu Yuhou, he couldn't let everyone take any more risks in construction.

After the arrangements were made, Chu Fan got on Ling Ming's Haicang boat, and the group came towards Niudao.

On the boat, Ling Ming introduced the situation in Jingyi County: After Jin Yongtai was anyway, he would still be his county master on the surface, but whether it was the third class of officials in the county or the secretary of each room, they were all taken over by Quan Zhitai; Even the regimental training camp, which had been turned into an empty shell, was used by an officer in the former Fifth Military Battalion named Lee Min Ho, one of the convicts, to re-erect the banner to recruit troopsβ€”of course. No matter which department it was, Ling Ming had put a lot of his old brothers into it.

As for the Jeju Mu, Kim Yong-tae discussed with Ling Myung and Jun Ji-tae, and made up a story about the horse thief stealing the city, the bloody battle between the regimental training camp, and the death of the capital division Park Jung-hsiang, and wrote a post and sent it to Jeju City, but there is no reply yet-in a word-in word. Jingyi County is currently gradually restoring calm according to Ling Ming's plan.

After listening to Ling Ming's introduction, Chu Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Deceiving the upper and lower, turning the black into white, and the big things can be turned into small things, and finally become nothing, is really not unique to Chinese officialdom, and politicians at home and abroad in ancient and modern times don't do this many times?

The affairs of Jingyi County are like this for the time being, and the most urgent thing for Chu Fan now is how to clean up this Liu Yuhou!

It goes without saying that it goes without saying that the night team is not collected, and what makes Chu Fan a headache is how to deal with the cavalry.

Judging from the actual combat on Chengshan Island, Lu Mi Gong. Even if it is a renovated flint Lu Mi gun, its rate of fire is still unable to resist the cavalry of the high-speed impact, which is a big problem that the Fuliao army urgently needs to solve -- Jeju Island is rich in horses, and naturally it is also rich in cavalry, and if the problem of how to deal with cavalry is not solved, the Fuliao army will not want to gain a foothold on Jeju Island!

What's more, sooner or later, the Fuliao army will have to fight against the Tartar cavalry, if this problem is solved now, then it will be able to kill the Tartars by surprise in the future!

Infantry against cavalry. In the era of cold weapons, it has always been an almost unsolvable problem. Whether it is the Spanish pikemen formation or the Southern Song Dynasty infantry represented by the Yuejia army. The first thing to solve is not to break up when the cavalry is charging at high speed!

The spear formation is to deal with it by going head-to-head - that is, using spears against cavalry charges; This is not applicable to the Fuliao army, which uses firearms as the main combat weapon, and it is impossible for Chu Fan to train a group of spearmen, right?

The Southern Song infantry countered the cavalry by intensive firepower - counteracting the mobility advantage of the Jin cavalry with the numerical superiority of the divine arm bow, and crushing the opponent's morale before they could rush to their own array.

The same did not apply to the Fuliao army, which had only a few hundred men: even if there were a hundred men in a column, the density of fire could not destroy the morale of the cavalry, compared to the infantry. Cavalry is more resistant to blows, partly because of their speed, and partly because they can't help themselves - cavalry in the queue is harder to turn around and flee than infantry, unless they want to be trampled to death!

Therefore, Chu Fan could not find a ready-made experience to deal with cavalry that could be used for reference, so he had to find a way to solve the problem of the Fuliao army gaining a foothold under the impact of cavalry.

Stand on the bow of the ship. The rushing sea breeze couldn't cool Chu Fan's high-speed head, and suddenly, his eyes widened - he finally thought of a way!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Tongzhou, Beijing, Zhangjiawan.

The two boats slowly approached the dock, and a person who looked like an accountant got off the boat, walked up to Ding Yimo, who had been waiting for a long time, and handed him a letter while saying something.

The men behind Ding Yimo commanded the enforced servants to rush up and began to move boxes of fairy grass cigarettes down from the boat, while the former tore open the cover and frowned after reading the letter.

The letter was transmitted to Dengzhou by Chu Fan through a carrier pigeon, and then written by Lu Du; The content of the letter is mainly procurement.

On the three pieces of letterhead, there were densely written things that Chu Fan wanted to buy; Ding Yimo noticed that Ding Yimo could understand the cowhides, sheepskins, and even fabrics in the bulk goods - so many people needed tents and clothing.

But Chu Fan also needs a lot of things like cow tendons and bone horns, what does he want to do? Do you make bows and crossbows? There is also lead, 20,000 catties can cost a lot of money!

As for the brown sugar, it made Ding Yimo even more inexplicable, 50,000 catties! The entire Zhangjiawan has been cleaned, and it is estimated that there are not so many!

There are also a lot of other bits and pieces, and compared with the bulk goods above, five thousand catties of Abian are very inconspicuous.

Ding Yimo spent three days preparing the goods on the list, and then moved two boats along the canal to Tianjin, where they were transferred to sea ships and finally arrived in Dengzhou.

After Lu Du received the goods, he transferred another 300,000 fairy grass cigarettes and prepared them, and loaded them on a ship with the third batch of displaced people recruited by the pillar and transported them to Niu Island.

The pillar has been busy these days - he has been instructed to organize about 2,000 displaced people, and at the same time his A-post is to be expanded to 300 men.

A few days ago, he had been busy recruiting homeless people, and he threw the training of the A-sign to the squad leader below; Now that he had finally sent the people and goods away, he had the heart to keep an eye on the recruits in person.

On this day, he was guarding the camp next to the tobacco factory to watch the recruits walk in the queue, and the soldiers guarding the door came to tell him that someone was visiting, and the pillar came to the door to see that it was a very short Taoist priest.

After seeing the pillar come out, the Taoist priest greeted him and said, "Immeasurable Tianzun, this little brother is invited, a certain is a close friend of the Lingxuzi Daoist, I heard that he recently went to a place called Niudao of yours, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

The pillar hurriedly returned the salute respectfully, "The Taoist chief is invited...... This is indeed the case, and the Spirit Void Dao Chief is indeed on Niudao. ”

The Taoist priest asked, "I don't know how to get to this cow island?" ”

The pillar told him that this time the fleet had just left, and the next time it would be a few months away, the Taoist priest flashed a look of disappointment after hearing this, and the chief priest took his leave.

After the Taoist priest left Shahe, he went straight to Dengzhou Shuicheng to inquire about the possibility of a ship going to the Wa Kingdom in the near future, and happened to meet a ship with the flag of Dongjiang Town hanging its sails, so he stepped forward to ask.

A twenty-five or sixteen-year-old young officer wearing a leopard uniform came out of the cabin, and the Taoist priest said, "Don't dare to ask this military gate, is this ship going to the East?" ”

The officer bowed his head and said, "Exactly, the Taoist chief wants to take a boat with the wind?" ”

When he heard the Taoist priest say that he was going to Ushijima, the officer's eyes narrowed slightly. (To be continued.) )
