The proportion of infantry and cavalry in the official army is generally three steps and seven horses, but the soldiers and horses in Shandong definitely do not meet this standard, first of all, most of the salary is deducted when the silver is issued, coupled with the practice of military attachés to support their families, horses are really pitiful.

The scale of 3,000 people, and the cavalry is more than 100, all of which are the mounts of Wu Anbang's subordinates. The battle situation was not good, and Wu Anbang ran away directly with the more than 100 horses.

The remaining officers and soldiers could only escape on two legs, but where could these officers and soldiers outrun the private army of the Zhao family, who often carried heavy cross-country loads, and the officers and soldiers who fled in the north and south directions were all caught up and captured.

The officers and soldiers who swam across the Baiyang River ran into the cavalry led by Lin Yi head-on, but when the officers and soldiers who were soaking wet and shivering in the cold wind collided with the cavalry blocking the road in front, some of the officers and soldiers even sat on the ground and cried.

The one hundred and fifty cavalry arranged by Zhao Yan on the east bank, when he saw Wu Anbang fleeing south with a team of cavalry, he also chased after him, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

The capture of the captives continued until nightfall, when Zhao Yan gathered his men back.

Groups of prisoners were confiscated and their weapons were gathered, and at a rough glance there were no less than a thousand people.

After Zhang Buyun took people to count the prisoners, he announced: "In this battle, 1,835 officers and soldiers were captured, and 721 corpses were found, and more than 400 officers and soldiers were missing. ”

"Forget about the more than 400 people, let them go!" Zhao Yan is still very satisfied with this result, although these officers and soldiers are also a rabble, but after all, Denglai has been operated by nearly ten governors, and it turned out to be a strategic place for maritime containment, so most of these officers and soldiers are young and strong.

"What about our casualties?" Zhao Yan turned his head to Zhao Yong and Lin Yi and asked.

"The first battalion lost five people killed and eleven wounded, most of them were wounded by bows and crossbows." Zhao Yong pouted as he spoke: "These officers and soldiers are not as powerful as the bandits they exterminated last time. ”

"There are no casualties in the cavalry battalion for the time being, but I don't know what happened to those brothers who went after Wu Anbang." Lin Yi said.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yan nodded, and the casualties of this battle still appeared. After all, although the officers and soldiers did not bring artillery, and the firearms in their hands did not hit anyone, after all, there were still some bows and crossbows equipped.

Zhao Yan is currently using intensive tactics, and this formation is more dangerous for officers and soldiers with artillery. Officers and soldiers generally placed artillery at the front, so that they could only bombard once, but only one could cause relatively large casualties.

This kind of tactics of using artillery in field battles was used by Zhu Di at the beginning, and Zhu Di's tactics were to first use artillery to bombard the enemy's cavalry, and then use his own cavalry to attack the opponent.

This tactic has been used for a long time.

For a nomadic people like the Manchus, it was already somewhat outdated.

At the same time, the soldiers also lacked protection, and the bow and crossbow were in the horizontal formation, which could easily cause casualties.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the camp.

The cavalry who had pursued him returned, and soon the commander of the cavalry battalion who went to pursue Wu Anbang entered the camp tent and gave a military salute.

"Did you catch up with the commander?" Lin Yi hurriedly asked.

The company commander reported: "Report to the commander, did not catch up. ”

"Let's take a drink of water first, forget it if you don't catch up." Zhao Yan said indifferently, and the company commander took the water bladder handed over and poured two sips, and then began to narrate the process of pursuit.

In general, it was after they caught up with Wu Anbang that they once bit Wu Anbang. But because of poor archery, only more than 20 people were intercepted.

The current long-range means of destruction used by cavalry battalions is the riding bow, which is a composite bow. The longbow is not easy to use on the horse, so use a compound bow instead.

After all, the cavalry battalion was established not long ago, and it was naturally impossible to improve in archery.

The cavalry's long-range killing equipment also has to be considered, and bows and arrows will be eliminated sooner or later. Before the advent of back-charge rifles, cavalry generally used revolvers, as well as muskets.

The guns used by the cavalry will be much shorter and more lightweight.

"But the lower officials caught Wu Anbang's adviser." As he spoke, the company commander dragged in a man of twenty-five or sixteen, who was wearing a Confucian shirt and a beard, and was tied up with flowers.

Zhang Buyun was taken aback when he saw this person, opened his eyes vigorously, and said in amazement: "Zhongping, why are you here?" ”

The man was also a flurry, looked at Zhang Buyun in astonishment, and said, "Wenlong, you ......"

Zhang Buyun was stunned, and hurriedly reacted, stepped forward and said to Zhao Yan: "Lord, this is my friend Liu Heng, the word Zhongping, who was raised in the first year, and is quite knowledgeable about military affairs. ”

"Lift people?" Zhao Yan was stunned in his heart, it stands to reason that a person who lifts people should be more arrogant, how can he be a strategist for a general soldier?

"Zhongping, this is my father-in-law Zhao Yan, seeing the turmoil in the world, he practiced his hometown bravely diligently, aiming to calm the world." Zhang Buyun then introduced Liu Heng.

"Humph! To put it nicely, in that case, why dare to attack the officers and soldiers? Liu Heng snorted coldly, tilted his face, and looked heroic and unyielding.

"Zhong Ping's words are wrong, then Wu Anbang is plotting against my family's master's wealth to lead troops to attack, do you want my family's father-in-law to be killed?" Zhang Buyun shook his head and said.

Zhao Yan looked at Zhang Buyun's movements, and he also knew what he meant, which was nothing more than to let Zhao Yan recruit talents and help Liu Heng. This Liu Heng is not only a person, but he must also have some skills with such a high diploma, and it is not bad to recruit his subordinates to do things.

It seems that this Liu Heng is quite tough, but Zhao Yan is not worried at all, these literati just want to go down the stairs, if there is no decent step for them to go down, it is really possible to be stubborn to the end.

Some literati, although they usually have no ability, but in order to leave a good reputation in the history books, they will also resist to the end when resisting foreign invasions, so people still have them in the late Ming Dynasty, but they are much less than those in the Song Dynasty, for example, Zhu Dadian, the current governor of Shandong, is one of them.

But this Liu Heng is also a small person, even if he is stubborn and heroic in righteousness, there will be no handwriting left in the history books.

Since Zhang Buyun knows him, this step is naturally easy to place.

"Huh! Let's not talk about that! Since he is a friend of Wenlong, let him loosen his ties. Zhao Yan said to the left and right, and the guards beside Zhao Yan immediately untied the rope on Liu Heng's body.

Liu Heng still looks stubborn, what kind of mentality he has, Zhao Yan and Zhang Buyun can see it clearly. Zhang Buyun stepped forward and pulled him up and asked, "How could Zhong Ping run to Wu Anbang and become a strategist?" ”

"Shandong is not Jing, so I got a certain position in Wu Anbang." Liu Heng said in a stiff tone.

"Then Zhong Ping is looking for the wrong person, then Wu Anbang is just a straw bag, incompetent in governing the army, and the people are in trouble, how can he supplement it?" Zhang Buyun sighed, "Zhongping, you usually study military affairs, do you think that the soldiers and horses of my lord are compared to Wu Anbang?" ”

"The firearms are sharp, and the battle is tight, which is better than Wu Anbang." Liu Heng said after pondering for a moment.

"That's it, my lord has practiced the courage of the countryside for only half a year, that is, he can defeat the crowd and defeat it completely, who in the world can compare? Zhongping, you are a pearl secret cast! ”

――――――

It's on Sanjiang, and everyone comes to count more tickets. Tips and evaluation votes are also available! Otherwise, it's ugly now.

In addition, I would like to answer a few questions that readers have criticized.

The first is the problem of applying several thousand catties of farm fertilizer to one acre of land.

Some readers say that one acre of land can't fit so much fertilizer, and it may also kill the crops.

But this amount was given by the experts in the sweet potato planting video, not by rookies. An acre of land is quite large, how can a few thousand catties not be able to get it, so how do tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes grow into the ground.

In addition, farm manure is not only the manure of some livestock, but also the ash of plants and trees, or directly piled straw and weeds into the soil.

Second, a reader said that the craftsman who repaired the city wall gave ten taels of silver a month.

Do you know the concept of high salaries and low salaries? Zhu Yuanzhang was stingy, and as a result, officials continued to embezzle in order to increase their income.

The craftsmen who built the city wall can be said to be skilled talents! Why not give ten taels of silver?

Besides, 300 taels of silver for the dead in battle, after all, it was the end of the Ming Dynasty in turmoil, and the status of the soldiers should be raised, and the high compensation for the death of the soldiers can improve a lot of combat effectiveness.

In addition, the protagonist takes the route of elite soldiers, not the kind that pulls up hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, so what's wrong with the military salary being a little higher?

What's more, these bereavement benefits for the dead can be converted into real estate!

In addition, I recommend a friend's book "Beauty Guardian"
