The army marched, and every morning breakfast was eaten! After that, the campers were to be reorganized and marched in formation, and in the evening, they had to camp before dark, and arrange for the defense in turn, which was not as casual as the caravan marched. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, in the same area, the army marches much slower than the caravan, and there are naturally important considerations in this.

On the first night of camping, the horse team in the army selected more than 200 cavalrymen to set up secret posts and mobile sentinels outside, but nothing happened this night.

In the distance of riding a horse and galloping north for a day at the mouth of the tiger, if it is not in wartime, there are not many activities of the Tartars, because this is the place where the power of the Ming soldiers and horses is reached, and it is also a buffer area for both sides.

On this night, the cavalry and sentries on duty at night were also more relaxed, Jizhen and Huwei Army each had their own camps, and the horse team was stationed in the big camp of Jizhen, with two camps, large and small, and the guards were naturally the foot soldiers of each family, and they had nothing to interfere with each other.

However, the horse team sent out is a mixed formation of three teams, Jizhen, Huwei Army and Datong Town's cavalry, the two sides have not cooperated for a long time, the warriors are competitive, and they are elite cavalry, and they are a little bit superior to each other in their hearts.

Although there is no shortage of horses in the Ming Dynasty, the cost of a cavalry is more than ten times that of a foot soldier, and there is no way to respond to the story, so the horse teams and cavalry of the Ming Dynasty are almost the most elite and strongest soldiers.

Datong Town is naturally like this, Jizhen and Huwei are paying attention to a wide range of blade training, and those who may be cavalry are often higher in quality than ordinary foot soldiers, and everyone is arrogant in their hearts.

The Jizhen army general entered Wang Tong's military tent, and saw that the furnishings were luxurious, Wang Tong was relaxed and freehand, and the evaluation was not high, and he felt that Wang Tong was quite frivolous and regarded the war as a trip.

And the Jizhen Horse Team Qian always saw that Ma Sanbiao, the leader of the horse team under the Huwei Army, looked depressed, yawned for a long time, and was also unhappy in his heart, thinking that he was too lazy.

Yang Jinyi's generals in Jizhen naturally knew the severity and would not tell their impressions to the below, but the people below also had this feeling after coming into contact with the horse team sent by the Huwei Army.

The cavalry from Datong Town is also very strange, some of them are the same as the cavalry of the Huwei Army, they are listless, and some of them are normal.

At night, everyone was divided into small teams to act, each found a sheltered place to hide, and came out to patrol regularly, after those listless cavalry dismounted, they directly took a nap in the sheltered place, and they were actually going to sleep, which made the cavalry of Jizhen frown.

When they go out to patrol and guard at night, they will be given time to sleep on the second day, so confused, what if the captives really touch it in the middle of the night, what if they are frozen to death outside in such a cold weather.

But the Huwei army and the soldiers of Datong Town were a little careful, first fed the horses hard material, and then the horses were encircled outside, and people gathered to sit in the pile and leaned on each other's felt on their bodies, so they fell asleep, which is a little surprising, surrounded by horses, and felt, how much there is the role of a tent, leaning on each other, you can keep warm, you don't have to be so cold, but you don't have to worry about being frozen at night, I didn't expect these lazy soldiers to be experienced.

Lazy and loose can only watch them like this, the soldiers of Jizhen have been in this position for so many years, they are often friendly wastes, and the decisive victory in the battle depends on the soldiers of Jizhen, this time Jizhen came to 20,000 of the most elite soldiers, and the Huwei army plus Datong Town is only more than 8,000 people, and it still depends on Jizhen to do things.

The cavalry of Jizhen despised it in their hearts, but they arranged people to be on duty in a decent manner, and they did not dare to slack off, but there were also things that surprised them at night.

There must be detectives and cavalry to watch from afar, although there are not many, but there will be people who come to watch the camp at night, the enemy's soldiers and horses must have such an arrangement, otherwise the other party suddenly acts in the middle of the night, that is, it is caught off guard, but at the moment it is still within the scope of tolerance, and the Ming Dynasty also occasionally goes out of the jam, and the current distance is just near their side wall.

Therefore, the scouts who came were only watching from afar, although they could not see anything by the light of the stars and moon, and the night of the grassland was extremely quiet, and there was the sound of horses' hooves, or something like that, it was easy to be noticed, and as soon as there was such a movement, the experienced soldiers of Jizhen would react.

The enemy who surprised them was here, and every time they noticed it, there was even a slight snoring of the Huwei army and the soldiers of Datong Town, some of whom stood up, and some of them quickly drew their weapons, and when the movement disappeared, they went to rest again.

And those Datong Town cavalrymen who did not have a tired look on their faces and behaved fairly were much slower to react, and some of them didn't even know that the enemy had come.

At dawn, the smoke of the cooking was already rising on the other side of the camp, ready to start pulling out the camp, the horse team was also withdrawn, and another team of cavalry would take over, and the army marched, and there were always swimming horsemen in front of them to observe, and constantly transmit the news back, so that the officers would have a clear grasp of the departure.

The Jizhen horse team on duty at night, several people met to talk about last night's accident, but a few old adults saw something: "Last night's style of work was clearly mixed up in the grassland for many years, maybe there is a Mongolian end on the side of Datong and the forbidden army."

"Speaking of which, before the early hours of last night, there seemed to be a few people on the forbidden army and Datong's side, talking and laughing with each other, saying that if those heads on the grassland were taken back, they could also be exchanged for the position of a thousand generals, and some people said that if they took a lot of silver, they should not seek any official positions......

"I've also heard this, saying that it's been hard work on the grassland for so long, and as a result, I'm going to come out immediately within a few days of going back, and the horses are tired and die a lot......

What each of them saw and heard was nothing more than a piece of scaly armor, which was faintly visible to them when put together, and these tired and listless cavalrymen, like them, were seasoned warriors.

……

Yesterday, in the array of the Huwei Army, in addition to the four-wheeled carts, there are also two-wheeled two-horse or two-wheeled single-horse carts, which are used to transport grain and grass supplies, but today these carts are marching in the queue of Jizhen, and the Huwei Army is on the side, there are only four-wheeled and four-horse carts left.

If the generals have questions, the thousands of generals of each battalion went directly to Yang Jin, the deputy general of Jizhen, to ask, this forbidden army is becoming more and more disagreeable, how to throw their own grain and grass supplies to Jizhen, the main force of this war still has to rely on Jizhen, so don't you treat Jizhen as a man who transports grain and grass.

"In addition to their equipment, the grain and grass they carry in their carts should be able to supply them for four or five days, and we will transport the rest."

Yang Jin explained, a Qian general manager was stunned and immediately said: "This is too ridiculous, this time we want to face up to the godson, it's not that our Jizhen is rushing in front, charging into battle, the dead and wounded are not us, and now the grain and grass are also thrown over, is it possible that you want to meet the godson and run faster?" ”

His words were the voice of everyone, but Yang Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Last night, Lord Qincha's explanation was that he could rest assured that we would have a lot of grain and grass here, so that the enemy would not burn the grain and grass or intercept it, we would guard the grain and grass, and the Huwei Army could also fight with confidence!" ”

As soon as these words came out, a sneer was immediately aroused, and Mr. Qian said directly: "Joke, for so many years, it's not that our Jizhen has been beaten by soldiers and horses, how many people are boasting on the old handsome's side, how about it then, it's not that Jizhen is rushing in front and walking last,."

"I can't say that, that year, everyone in Xuanfu suddenly had war exploits, this hundred-level, that hundred-headed, isn't it rumored that this forbidden army killed thousands of Tartar cavalry outside? At the time of the victory in the ancient north, weren't they the ones who led the godson? ”

Yang Jin opened his mouth and said solemnly, everyone was silent, and he said unconvinced: "That's the old handsome's clever plan, their forbidden army was also forced to that point, so they were helpless, if we hadn't arrived later, they would have collapsed long ago." ”

"But that time, they killed nearly 5,000 Tartar cavalry, this level is real, this result, can it be forced out?"

Yang Jin's expression was solemn, these generals in Jizhen were all old soldiers, so they naturally understood this truth, and they were speechless for a while, Zhang Lei, the general manager of the Jizhen horse team, had not said anything, and opened at this time. said: "Last night, the sons and daughters were on duty, and came back to say that the soldiers of the forbidden army looked like they were fighting an old war, I saw that they camped last night and pulled out the camp today, and the forbidden army was in good order, and they were more regular than us, and this Wang Tong had such a great reputation in martial arts, but it was not false."

Everyone was silent, and walked forward from the mount, Yang Jincai abandoned his mouth and said: "Wang Tong is not our old handsome, he put the grain and grass on our side, which can be regarded as a safe move, and now that the army is outside, everyone should not have any other thoughts, after all, it is for this Daming." ”

The generals below all nodded yes, the atmosphere became a little relaxed, and someone said with a smile: "The forbidden army doesn't know what to do, give us grain and grass, if we don't give it, won't they be blind." ”

A few people laughed, Yang Jin stretched out his hand and pointed to the Huwei army column in front of him, open. said: "Do you think that the Huwei Army has not counted this, if there is really a day, do you think that those artillery dragged by a few horses and a dozen horses will not bombard our camp?" ”

The artillery of the Huwei Army, the generals of Jizhen have seen it for the past two days, and they are quite envious, and when Yang Jin said this, everyone was speechless.
