Lee Seung-hwan sat on the saddle with his legs crossed, with a grass in his mouth, quietly looking at his subordinates whistling in front of him, his face expressionless; The jade lion under him was snow-white, and he couldn't even see a single heterochromatic miscellaneous hair, and at the moment he was snorting incessantly, plowing the grass with its bowl-sized hooves, as if he wanted to join his companions in running for fun, but he endured it in the silence of his master.

Lee Seung-hwan is the head of Yoo Seung-hae's riding coach. It is said that he is the head of the sect, but in fact, whether in terms of riding skills or prestige, he can be called the real leader of this elite cavalry in Korea.

For no other reason, this cavalry army is horse selection, sorting and grouping, and riding training; or equipment selection, drill plan formulation; Even the arrangements of the various squads, even if some of them are not completely determined by Lee Seung-hwan, at least they must have his approval before they can be implemented.

The reason why Liu Shenghai attaches so much importance to him is because he was born to be a rider!

Li Chenghuan was born in the Changbai Mountains on the other side of the Yalu River, and like those Jurchens, he grew up on horseback and was good at riding and archery; When he grew up, he joined the army, and because of his excellent riding skills, he was soon promoted to the rank of chief.

In the battle of Salhu, most of the Korean army led by Jiang Hongli surrendered, and Li Chenghuan led his ten-man team to break out of the siege, and on the way he also shot and killed Houjin a Niu Lu Ezhen, which is really one of the few bright spots in the Korean army, and was promoted to a hundred cavalry households for merit after the war.

In 1627, Lee Seung-hwan ushered in a turning point in his life.

Later that year, Kim Amin led his army to attack Korea, and Lee Seung-hwan resisted hard; But he is not a person who understands current affairs, and even though Amin was already negotiating with Li Liang, he still unrelentingly harassed the Houjin army, and also killed two Niu Lu Ezhen with blue flags.

Under pressure, Li Liang dismissed Li Chenghuan from his position, and the latter was reduced from a hundred household officials to a common man.

Fortunately, he and Liu Shenghai's cousin are colleagues. The latter knew his ability and ability, so he recommended him to Liu Shenghai and became the head of the Liu family's riding skills, and spent nearly two years building this elite cavalry for Liu Shenghai.

"Poof! Poof! ”

In the frenzied sound of horses' hooves, the long knives in the hands of the cavalry slashed at the scarecrows erected on the ground, and the grass clippings flew one after another.

Look at the men who swept by. Listening to their howling voices, a smile flashed on Lee Seung-hwan's face - he was extremely satisfied with the cavalry team he had brought out; Putting aside his selfishness, even if his cavalry team is pulled to the side of the Yalu River, he will never fall behind when he encounters any Tartar bull.

Rao is like this, a few days ago, Liu Shenghai brought the Ming people to Chengshan Island, and when he went to the island to clean up at the high tide at the beginning of the month, Li Chenghuan still increased the training intensity of the cavalry - from a three-day drill to a daily drill now.

After fighting so many battles, Lee Seung-hwan is becoming more and more careful.

Even if he is facing a Akito who he doesn't think much of in his heart.。 He still prepared for this battle with the mentality of dealing with a Tartar, because he knew that on the battlefield, any act of contempt for his opponent would be punished with the severest punishment - the two oxen who died with the blue flag had taught him this with their lives.

Just as he was engrossed in staring at the training of his subordinates, the sound of hooves rumbled, smoke and dust flew, and Liu Shenghai came in person with a dozen or so patrolmen.

"Master Li, good news!" Far away, Liu Shenghai shouted with joy on his face. "Those Ming people are looking for their own death! I actually landed in Sunrise Village! ”

Hearing the news brought by Yoo Seung-hae, Lee Seung-hwan was very surprised - when did the Ming people become so belligerent?

Accidental. Li Chenghuan's brows furrowed, and he bowed down on his horse and asked, "Family master, the Ming people are cavalry?" ”

"It's not! It's all pawns! While speaking, Liu Shenghai had already come to the side, and continued to shout with a red face with excitement, "Why don't you say that they will die...... Three or four hundred people. There were only a few horses that dared to go to the island...... According to the report of the patrolman, as soon as he came in the morning, he began to dig a trench and set up a village, and it seemed that he wanted to defend it for a long time. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Shenghai's face suddenly turned hideous, and he smiled fiercely. "It's okay, it saves us a lot of hands and feet! …… Don't leave when you come! After cleaning up these three or four hundred people, wouldn't it be easy to take down Ushijima? ”

Li Chenghuan was not as optimistic as him, he kept thinking in his heart, these Ming people set up camp as soon as they came up, obviously they came prepared - didn't they set up camp just to prevent cavalry assault?

Since they knew that there were cavalry on the island and dared to land on the island, this shows that these Ming people are very fearless, so what do they rely on?

Firebolt!

Lee Seung-hwan's mind came up with the report of the patrolman who participated in the battle of Seongsan Island that day - the inspector was very impressed by the sharp fire gun of the Ming people.

Thinking of this, Lee Seung-hwan couldn't help but secretly shake his head - it seems that the Ming people are really superstitious about this firecracker!

When he was in Salhu, he didn't know how many times he had seen the Ming army fighting against the Tatar cavalry, and after a round, he could only wait to be trampled on, why didn't these Ziming people have a long memory?

No matter how fast the firebolt is, can it be faster than a galloping horse? As long as you resist a round of bombardment from the opponent, your subordinates will be able to chase the opponent's ass and cut it!

"Master Li, let's go," Liu Shenghai didn't pay attention to Li Chenghuan's contemplation, and said with a big grin, "Let the sons and daughters bring the ropes, and let's teach the Ming people how to demolish the camp!" ”

Li Chenghuan persuaded, "The head of the family, do you want to send someone to find out the bottom of the Ming people first......

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Liu Shenghai, who waved his hand heroically and said, "What's the need for all that effort? …… A small camp, three or four hundred foot soldiers, is not enough for the sons and daughters to step on! ”

Yoo Seung-hae was arrogant and accustomed to Jeju Island, and he used to bully other ranchers a lot; Since Li Chenghuan helped him train this cavalry, he has been even more crazy, not to mention the Jingyi County Order, even Jeju Mu's face sometimes dares to refute!

I had fought with horse bandits and several nearby ranchers several times before, and they all had the advantage; It was still a cavalry battle, and now that the Ming people were all foot soldiers, of course he didn't care about it.

According to Liu Shenghai's meaning, these more than 300 cavalry wanted to be pulled directly from the training ground to the battlefield, but at Li Chenghuan's insistence, he finally returned to the Liu family's mansion, brought the horses and all the weapons, and then came to Risheng Village, which was more than ten miles away.

After arriving at a hill more than 2 miles west of Risheng Village, Li Chenghuan looked at the newly erected camp and frowned.

The other party is obviously not a rookie, and this small camp with a radius of 100 steps is very orderly!

First of all, the location is quite tricky: the camp is located at the foot of a hill by the sea in the southwest of Risheng Village, only 150 or 60 steps away from the beach in the north, and it is impossible to bypass it, and the southwest of the camp is also the same distance from the beach; In other words, if you want to attack the camp, there is no other way but to attack head-on!

As soon as Lee Seung-hwan saw the terrain clearly, he heard a low horn sound faintly coming from the hill, and the next scene made his eyes widen! (To be continued.) )
