There are not many cavalry in Guan Duo's department, 30,000 red scarves in Fengzhou City, and the cavalry has an establishment of 4,000 households, with a real amount of 2,000 people.

As a non-descendant Deng San, in this thankless activity of harassing and disrupting the enemy position, he should be in the starting position. His brothers lined up, and two or three hundred men formed a rectangular phalanx; On the right side of this phalanx is another subordinate of Brother Yellow Donkey, two hundred people.

Brother Huang Donkey is a member of Liu Futong's Eastern Red Army lineage, and he was born in the Han Army.

The military households of the Yuan Dynasty were divided into three types: the Ma Chi Army, the Han Army, and the New Attached Army, and according to government regulations, they could not be changed to other households. The military households of the Han army have to bear the cost of going to the garrison, and the part of the military needs to be sent out by themselves, and they are sent to the army from their homes every year, which is called "Fengchun".

Although the imperial court slightly reduced the taxes paid by the family, the gap was too large, and there were many people who broke their families and formed an army, so a large number of military families abandoned their homes and fields to become homeless people in order to escape military status, and Huang Donkey Brother was one of them. During the exile, the whole family starved to death, died of illness, and the bare pole was forced into the red scarf.

Generations of military households, he himself is brave and good at fighting, he joined the army early, and slowly accumulated to thousands of households.

The sun rises past its highest point and gradually deflects from the west. Under the white tower and black flag overhead, the icy early spring breeze rolled up the snow and fallen leaves on the ground and houses, and occasionally fluttered on the hair and armor of the soldiers; War horses, restlessly treading their hooves, panting and neighing in a low voice.

Dozens of fierce red scarves, encircling a general in bright armor, turned out from one side. This general is the highest commander of the cavalry, the uncle of tens of thousands of households.

"Guan Pingzhang ordered: Deng Sanbu went out of the north gate, and he must burn the Tartar flying bridge, the nest tower, and the chariot, and disrupt the enemy camp to buy time for our army's arrangement; If you can destroy its artillery, you will be rewarded with a reward of 100 gold. Uncle Feng had a black face, a beard, a broken urn, controlled the reins, and circled around the field.

"Order!" Deng San's eyes squinted at Brother Huang Donkey on the side, and listened to Uncle Feng continue to assign tasks.

"Brother Huang Donkey, follow Deng Sanhou out, be sure to highlight the enemy encirclement, and go to Yunnei and Dongsheng Erzhou." Uncle Feng stretched out his hand and took out two wax sealed letters from his arms, "This is Guan Pingzhang's strict order to these two states, remember: if you can't send it, you won't come back." ”

Yunnei, Dongsheng two states, not far from Fengzhou, these three states are the same important towns in the northwest, the Liao Dynasty was known as the three states of the west, at this time were occupied by the red scarf.

"Order!" Brother Huang Donkey got off the horse, trotted to Uncle Feng's horse, held his head high, and took the two letters; Then he swung his fist over, blushed, and said in a loud voice, "Maitreya was born, and King Ming was born!" ”

"Maitreya was born, King Ming was born!" The two hundred people behind him shouted in unison, and couldn't help it, this cry frightened Deng Sanyi, snorted, and scolded a few sycophants, and Deng She, who was behind him, also raised his arms and shouted in unison.

Four or five hundred people shouted in unison, and the tone was really not small. It was deafening, and the birds that stopped on the branches in the distance flew away. Uncle Feng nodded and smiled with satisfaction, turned off the horse's head, and went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

"Your uncle, it's not good to learn anything, learn sycophants!" Seeing Uncle Feng walking away, Deng San waved his hand and gave Deng She a few popping chestnuts, and Deng She didn't speak, just grinned.

Five hundred men and horses entered the urn city in order, and the gate behind them slowly closed, waiting for the final order to attack.

"Light the torch!"

One person and one torch, and the foot soldiers defending the city lit it for them.

The artillery of the Yuan army in the west corner changed from static to moving, from sparse to dense, and across the city wall, the shouts of "kill, kill, kill" accompanied by the sound of cannons also reached everyone's ears. The first siege of the Yuan army was about to begin. The black flag fell on the white tower, and the herald held high the banner and rushed to the urn city: "Guan Ping Zhang Order: Cavalry, out!" ”

The urn city is open, and the vision is wide.

Outside the moat, there were Yuan troops all over, and the military flags covered the field, and the smoke and dust were filled. The flags on the nest tower several feet high are flying, and the flying bridges are controlled by the strong men, pushed to the river, opened and folded, and built on the river. Behind them, more than a dozen crashing cars were ready to go, and further back, there were countless foot soldiers, swords and guns dazzling, and dozens of rangers in a team, patrolling the perimeter, artillery and drums resounding in the sky.

"Put the drawbridge!"

The Yuan army on the opposite side spotted them, and a team of 1,000 men moved to the front, with shields in front and bows and arrows behind them. With the officer's order, dense arrows came overwhelmingly. At the same time, the red-scarf archers who were responsible for covering the urn city were also colored. The only two cannons, arranged on the wall of the northern city, sounded again and again, and the stone bullets rolled out of the formation and smashed into the Yuan army array.

"They haven't even built a big camp!" Deng She noticed this situation, rode to Deng San's side, and shouted loudly.

Deng San spat viciously, they were still in the urn city, and the rain of arrows was not dangerous to them, but in this situation, how could they rush out? "Tartars are going to fight hard!" The suspension bridge fell, Deng San's saber was drawn, at this moment, the full of complaints had long been forgotten, and what I remembered was only the tragic scene of the whole family, young and old, all who died under the saber of Tanmachi, "That's called to see whose life is big, people die in the sky, and they don't die for thousands of years!" The head fell off the bowl and the big scar, brothers, rush! ”

Three hundred people continued to use all kinds of foul language, three hundred people raised their spears and sabers, and three hundred people rushed out of the urn city with a scream.

"Shall we rush? General Chino. ”

Brother Huang Donkey didn't move: "When they cross the suspension bridge, they will mess up the Tartar position." ”

Deng Sanyi took the lead and had already rushed across the suspension bridge. Deng She, who was beside him, threw out the torch and danced the spear, firmly protecting the two of them, and between breaths, he blocked more than a dozen long arrows. How many brothers have come? And how many brothers were shot? At this moment, there is no time to look back, only to rush forward, to rush forward.

The archers behind the shields slowly retreated, and the pikemen stepped forward. Through the gap in the shield, it can be seen that the horse rejection rifles that had been prepared a long time ago were transported up in rows, and the flying bridges on both sides of the city gate of the urn city were still being built, and there were a few of them, and they were almost about to be paved.

On the city wall, rockets began to be fired, and the focus of the two cannons was also changed to the Yuan soldiers who paved the flying bridge.

Closer, closer, closer, dozens of torches flew out from behind Deng She, and fell into the Yuan army, and several pikemen directly opposite were burned by the fire, and under the pain, the spears were crooked. Deng She leaned over, Deng San pulled out the mace on his horse with his backhand, carried the sound of the wind, and smashed it heavily on the shield in front of him, which was more than one person high.

The spear poked out, Deng She shouted, and with all his strength, he picked up the shield that Deng San had smashed, and stabbed forward, hitting the shield player's chest. Before he had time to pull it out, he pulled out his saber in his left hand and slashed over a spearman with flames flying around his body.

"Grandma's Deng Laosan is really fierce." Brother Huang Donkey, who was watching the battle, scolded, grabbed the reins, and "Tell the brothers to prepare." ”

"When to rush?"

"Wait until he breaks the Tartar shield array."

Swords and guns are raised, and flesh and blood are flying. Screams, roars, clashing weapons, horses' hooves galloping, all kinds of sounds converged, and Dunshe's blood boiled.

It has been almost ten years since he crossed into this world, and from a child of five or six years old to the present, it can be said that most of his past days have been spent in killing and fighting. I was also at a loss, and I had ambitions by chance, but in the face of the cruel reality, in the final analysis, we had to solve the problem of survival and food first.

He has had enough of the discrimination of the Mongols, the Semu people and other people who do not treat the Han people as human beings, and he has also had enough of the days when he was hungry for days and nights and had to die at the end of the world. Deng San taught him: In this world, the official law is abused, the criminal law is heavy, people eat people, money buys money, thieves are officials, and officials are thieves. What is a thief, what is an official, in the final analysis, it is Lao Tzu who dares to kill and rob!

He thought so, especially when he saw those scrawny and dumb people who were slaughtered, he was even more glad that he didn't wear them on them.

In troubled times, there is no road on earth, and the sword is bloodless and heroic.

A modern college student has been transformed into a Red Turban Rebel Army with the idea of a horse thief and a robber in this way.

The spear stabbed and danced, and it was bloody everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, Deng She and Deng San burst into the Yuan Array for dozens of steps. More than ten meters ahead, there is a forest of rejecting horses and guns. Busy and looking around, the cavalry in the distance gathered in one place, quietly waiting for them to be exhausted.

"Raise the flag, to the west!" Deng San decisively ordered, turned the horse's head, and killed and collided, Deng She shouted in unison: "Order, to the west!" Ignoring the blood stains on his face, he followed closely behind Deng San.

"Deng San is going west!"

Brother Huang Donkey was surprised: "He really went to destroy the Tartar artillery?" But he didn't care about this, the shield array was almost broken, he drew his knife and ordered, "Rush!" ”

The red flag was unfurled, and Deng She and Deng San rushed out of the shield array, and suddenly opened up. There are two flying bridges on the moat that were ignited by rockets, blazing, but more flying bridges have been built, and the seats are two or three zhang wide, and a large number of Yuan troops are pushing ladders and other things, swarming under the city.

The trees and boulders on the top of the city rolled down, and some fell on the ladder that had not yet been unfolded, and were blocked from the iron carriage at the bottom of the ladder, which played very little role. This time, the Yuan army came too fast, the red scarves did not prepare too many defensive equipment at all, Fengzhou is certainly an important town, but before the breakthrough, the garrison Yuan army has burned the armory.

Running along the moat, Deng Sanren had few horses and horses, and he was a cavalry, and his speed was fast, while the Yuan army was mostly foot soldiers in front of him, galloping all the way, with a slight confrontation, and successfully reached the west of the city.

The scene in front of him suddenly made him gasp, at first when he watched the appearance of the Yuan army on the city wall, he didn't see it comprehensively, and there were hundreds of artillery pieces in the west of the city. Under the protection of regiments of foot soldiers and cavalry, they continued to concentrate on attacking the western city wall.

"I don't have to fight." Before he finished speaking, he was confronted by a group of musketeers who were specially designed to intercept them, and not far away, the mobilized cavalry also galloped close.

"Retreat!"

There was a loud bang, and the eyes of the entire battlefield were attracted. After a short pause, the Yuan army shouted like a tidal wave: "The city is broken!" The city is broken! ”

The red scarf hit Fengzhou, the focus was on the western city wall, which was already quite damaged, and under the attack of hundreds of Yuan artillery, this city wall collapsed in a short period of time. The red scarf had been prepared, and the women's wall used to block the collapsed city wall was immediately pushed over, but it was precisely because of the temporary workers that the women's wall was purely made of wood, and it was foreseeable that it would not play a role at all.

Deng San immediately changed the order: "Turn around!" Remove. ”

You don't have to think about entering the city, and the only way to survive today is to fight your way out of the encirclement and throw yourself into Yunnei and Dongsheng Erzhou.

1. Han Army Military Household:

After entering the Yuan Dynasty, the government issued winter and summer military uniforms to the Han army, equipped them with weapons, and distributed rations on a monthly basis, with five buckets of rice and one pound of salt per person. Deficiencies in clothing, other equipment and expenses are at your own expense. All these expenses are collected by the family and the subscribers and sent to the army on a regular basis, which is called Fengchun money.

At the end of the 13th century, the annual cost of a soldier was equivalent to 50-100 stones, plus the cost of the journey, the military households often had to pawn the land, and some military households first had 30 hectares of land, and finally even became beggars.

2, several hundred cannons.

The inscription of the artillery of the third year of Yuan Zhishun has the words "On February 14 of the third year of Zhishun, the 300th Mashan of the Suibian Kou Army", Suibian Kou Army is the border guard of the Yuan government, and the 300th Mashan is the number number of this batch of artillery manufactured by this frontier army. That is, from this point of view, this border guard is armed with at least three hundred artillery pieces. In the third year of Zhishun, the Western calendar is 1332.

In the peasant war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, not to mention the regular troops of the Yuan Dynasty, even in the peasant army, the use of artillery was very extensive. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang "trapped Gusu", "Xu Da led 48 guards to besiege the city, each guard system "Xiangyang cannon" set 5 seats, "7 small artillery" racks more than 50 seats, more than 50 large and small general barrels, 48 guards camp around the siege of the city, Zhang's want to escape, can not fly. The sound of guns and cannons continued day and night. "Among them, the Xiangyang cannon and the Qixiao cannon are trebuchets; The general's barrel is artillery.

In the city of Suzhou, "when the city was surrounded for a long time, Xiong Tianrui taught the city to make flying cannons, to hit my division, the wood and stone in the city were exhausted, and the ancestral temples and houses were demolished as artillery tools." ”

As you can imagine, the intensity of the artillery battle at that time.

In the Ming Dynasty, from the 31st year of Hongwu to the 9th and 46th years of orthodoxy, according to the age and serial number of the unearthed artillery, it can be judged that at least 130,000 guns and artillery were built. It can also be judged from this that artillery was widely used during the Yuan Dynasty.
