I saw that Cheng Mouse's face turned pale, and he didn't even hold the wooden card, and fell to the grass.

"Battalion commander, what's wrong?"

"Battalion commander, what's wrong?"

“……”

The surrounding reconnaissance battalion officers had never seen their battalion commander lose his temper like this, and they asked one after another in shock.

Cheng Mouse immediately came back to his senses during their questioning, and a decisive look appeared on his face, and he immediately said solemnly: "The slave chieftain of more than 10,000 horsemen joined Dolgon at noon yesterday and then went north, suspected to be a surprise attack on Guihua City. ”

After briefly explaining the reason, he turned his head to look at several soldiers, threw the wooden sign at one of them, and immediately issued an order for them to immediately report back to Naturalization City and alert them to the raid.

The officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion were also on duty in turn, and the officers and men who were ordered by him had no mission last night and had plenty of rest. Only they can run more than 150 miles back to Guihua City at the fastest speed.

When the soldiers heard this, they knew that the situation was urgent, so they immediately turned their horses around and galloped westward.

Cheng Mouse silently looked at the backs of those soldiers, and secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Jianyu did not raid Naturalization City last night.

After all, if more than 10,000 cavalry Jianlu suddenly attacked the city at night, and the Heavenly Army happened to get the news from themselves, saying that Jianyu had gone far, and the possibility of being captured by Jianlu under the relaxation of vigilance was very high.

It was useless to think too much at the moment, Cheng Mouse cleaned up his mind, and assigned a few soldiers to continue to follow Dolgon, who returned to the east, and he led the rest of the soldiers to the north to search and return to Huacheng.

Hu Guang, who was far away in Yingbeigou, had also received a notice from the Naturalization City at this time, saying that Jianyu had given up attacking the city and returned to the east.

Hu Guang saw the letter detailing the course of the war, and he was also happy that Jianyu was bleeding when he met under the city of Guihua. After such a battle, the field army should have no psychological burden on Shang Jianyu, if it waits for the field battle to win later. It will build up a psychological advantage, and at the same time, it will seriously damage the morale of the prisoners.

"Not bad, not bad!" Hu Guang praised repeatedly, and at the same time raised his head and said to Tana, who was also smiling happily on the side: "Big brother is almost over there, how is your training here?" ”

"No problem, the original left-behind troops can be used as field troops. Those who were trained later were at least better trained than the previous left-behind troops. Tana raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "There are about five thousand of them alone." If you add in the reserves, who only have a small amount of training, then another ten thousand will not be a problem. ”

Hu Guang listened, smiled and nodded. He knew that Tana was able to train so many people, mainly because nearly half of the Heavenly Army was herdsmen from various Mongolian tribes.

These herders are natural warriors, and horsemanship, archery, etc., are racial talents. What is lacking is discipline and the will to fight. Some of the Han people can also ride horses, and they are not very good at archery, but they have flintlock pistols.

With an assembly line, several of which are powered by hydraulic stability, the flintlock pistol was built much more than the previous production.

As for the raw materials, the supplies from the robbery and the captives are enough for the current Heavenly Army for a long time. As for the future, Hu Guang has already sent people to Baotou to explore. It is estimated that in a few years, the Heavenly Army itself will have a stable supply of steel.

As for gunpowder. The Heavenly Army originally had monosulfur ore, and now that there were no other forces in this grassland, it was easier to obtain saltpeter, and qualified gunpowder was continuously produced.

Under such conditions, those Han people were trained in the accumulation of gunpowder projectiles and could meet the basic requirements. As for after going to war. Whether it will affect the reload speed due to the tension of the battlefield is unknown, and it needs to be tested in actual combat.

Therefore, after the newly trained 5,000 local units are mixed and expanded with the original field troops, it is basically no problem to dismantle the two field units.

After these thoughts flashed through Hu Guang's mind, he said to Tana: "We want to grow crops in the Hetao Plain outside the valley. In addition to the field troops in the east and south, one is also needed in the west. However, it doesn't matter if the strength of this team is relatively weak, after all, from the current point of view, there is no strong enemy in the west. ”

"I know that I will continue to train this batch as soon as possible, and when the field army returns and hands it over to them, I will immediately start the training of the second batch of troops."

After Tana finished answering, she took out a booklet from her bosom and threw it on the table and said, "Follow this training manual to practice, in fact, you don't need me to come, those instructors can do it now." ”

Speaking of this, she stared at Hu Guang with her eyes, revealing a coquettish demeanor, leaned over her head slightly, and whispered: "Xianggong, I want to lead the army out to fight, okay?" ”

Hu Guang immediately looked up at both sides, and several guards in the Juyi Hall turned their heads and didn't know what they were studying, and none of them looked at this side.

He turned back to look at Tana and saw that her neck was red, and he was amused. Under the public court, even the coquettish who is not good at it has been used, and it seems that he really wants to lead the army.

Hu Guang pondered for a moment before nodding with a smile and saying, "It's okay, after the field army is separated, I plan to let my brother and them go to the south to occupy a section of the Great Wall and guard the south." You are stationed in Naturalization City, with the help of your father, Uncle Mo and others, to guard the east. ”

When Tana heard this, she was overjoyed, and in her forgetfulness, her jade neck stretched out again, kissed Hu Guang's face like a dragonfly, and then turned around and ran out quickly.

Hu Guang was slightly stunned, he didn't think that Tana had been maintaining the image of the head of his left-behind troops outside, but this would be so bold.

Looking at her back, Hu Guang suddenly remembered that he still had something to say, so he raised his hand and wanted to call her. But by the end of the day, Tana had already run out of the Hall. In desperation, Hu Guang had no choice but to give up, and turned his head and instructed a guard with a suppressed smile: "Go and ask the head of Wulan to come over, and I will discuss the division of land with her again." ”

When the guard heard this, his face showed envy, and he immediately responded loudly and walked out quickly.

Before you know it, it is already the beginning of the Shen time, and it will be dark in more than an hour.

On the boundless grassland, there are three horsemen galloping wildly, and the speed is very fast. But the centaurs were all wet, and they were obviously in a hurry. Running at such a pace, the horse doesn't know how long it will take to recover, or it will be reimbursed.

These few people are the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion who rushed back to report the news. Originally, they were just scouting the movements of the Jianyu and preparing to ride with the Jianyu Sentinel, so they did not prepare a secondary horse.

As a result, I chased more than 150 miles to the west, and the people were fine, but the horses were tired. Now that he is galloping back to Huacheng, this horse will obviously not be able to bear it.

But even if the horse runs to death, that's okay, as long as you can get the news back before the Jianyu raids the Naturalized City.

Suddenly, six horsemen appeared in the grassland in front of them, drove their horses, and intercepted them. (To be continued.) )
