Volume 1 Chapter 13: Cavalry
This time to support Baoding Mansion, the high-level of the Dashun Imperial Court did not let the reinforcements suffer, let them leave the capital and go to Baoding Mansion to fight, which can be regarded as giving them military merits, everyone knows that the Ming Army of Baoding Mansion is just a turtle in the urn, and anyone who goes can get a piece of the pie.
After all the reinforcements were assembled outside the city, waiting for supplies to go out of the city, they went to Baoding Mansion in a mighty way, and Ling Jingyang's unit served as the middle army of the right army, that is, the main force of the right army, and the forward of the right army was Li Daowei's henchman Jin Yidao, Jin Yidao was one of the two flags, second only to Li Daowei in the army.
He led the total strength of the two departments, more than 200 people on the right side to open the road, said to be an open road, that is, an armed parade, the capital to Baoding Mansion is not very far, and some cavalry went together.
Most of these cavalry were light cavalry, they moved on both sides of the road to protect the main force from sneak attacks, and as for supplies, the soldiers of the rear battalion were protecting, and everyone walked for a long time before stopping to rest.
A big blood blister grinded out under Chongzhen's feet, and Wang Chengen didn't get much better, both of them were fine-skinned and tender-skinned, and if they went any further, they would fall apart halfway.
Ling Jingyang is much better, he only has seven subordinates now, and the four Daming soldiers are elm heads throughout the whole process, and their eyes are also dull, as if everything has nothing to do with them, Daming is gone, and he is gone with Dashun, and he will continue to mix like this.
Ling Jingyang wanted to encourage these four people, but after thinking about it, these Ming troops have lost the backbone of soldiers, and they are no different from the walking dead, and when they were resting, Zhang Shun came to Ling Jingyang.
Ling Jingyang hurriedly stood up, lowered his head and waited for Zhang Shun's order, Zhang Shun looked at Ling Jingyang's subordinates, there were only seven people, it was really a little shabby, but it didn't matter, the army arrived in Baoding Mansion, and there would be a large number of Ming troops surrendering in Baoding Mansion.
He said to Ling Jingyang: "Ling Jingyang, can you ride a horse?" ”
Ling Jingyang nodded and said, "I know some, but I'm not very skilled." ”
"As long as you know how to ride a horse, you can ride a horse tonight, come with me to Baoding Mansion."
Ling Jingyang was a little curious, why did he suddenly let them speed up and rush to Baoding Mansion, in fact, Zhang Shun didn't know why?
It's just that the lieutenant has an order, and those who can ride in the army will ride their horses forward tonight to support Baoding City.
There are a lot of cavalry in the Dashun army, and there are also a lot of war horses, Zhang Shun asked Ling Jingyang to follow him to lead the war horse after a while, Ling Jingyang hurriedly asked his subordinates if they could ride horses, and the result was beyond his expectations, everyone could ride horses, and the eyes of the four Ming soldiers finally had a little color.
Chongzhen and Wang Chengen have average equestrian skills, but the two didn't want to leave Ling Jingyang, so they also raised their hands and said that they could ride horses, so Ling Jingyang took them and followed Zhang Shun to the horse camp to lead the horses.
Eight people received nine horses, after receiving the war horses, Ling Jingyang and his subordinates were forbidden to leave the horse camp, it turned out that tonight's action was top secret, no one was allowed to divulge, Ling Jingyang was inconvenient to inquire, so he took his subordinates to practice equestrianism in the horse camp, from getting on the horse to getting off the horse, he practiced very seriously.
Because he had never been in contact with the battle on the horse, even if he had a bow on the horse, he had to sharpen his spear in battle, and his practice attracted the sideways attention of the cavalry of the Dashun army passing by.
These cavalry are the elite troops of the Dashun Army, they are skilled in horsemanship, looking at Ling Jingyang's clumsy appearance, they all laughed like pigs, and their laughter was full of disdain.
Ling Jingyang pretended not to hear it, and continued to practice equestrianism, the more he pretended not to hear, the more the cavalry of the Dashun Army humiliated him, a cavalry sentry always led the horse, came to Ling Jingyang not far away, and said loudly: "Where did you come from to play miscellaneous people, jumping up and down like a monkey here, it is really a shame for our Dashun army." ”
As soon as the words fell, the cavalry of the nearby Dashun Army laughed, and this time the old steamed bun and others were angry, he carried a big iron knife, came to the cavalry sentry, and shouted: "Who is my Dao, it turns out that it is just a turtle grandson who has not grown all his hair." ”
The face of the cavalry sentry was dark, he was a soldier in the rear camp of the Dashun Army, and he was the descendant of His Majesty's lineage, and more than a dozen cavalrymen under his command also drew their swords one after another, wanting to give the old steamed bun some color.
"Everyone eats in the same pot, and you are laughing at us here, what do you get?"
These words came out of Chongzhen's mouth, Ling Jingyang and Wang Chengen both sweated, Wang Chengen was really worried that one of these Li thieves would be unhappy, and his majesty's blood was splattered on the spot.
The cavalry sentry always looked down on these mud legs, he used to be the elite of Jiubian Guyuan Town, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial court couldn't afford to pay the military salary, so that he and his brothers would fight with the army hungry, he would not surrender to the army, but after surrendering to the army, the military salary and food were available, he looked at Chongzhen's dead face, and sneered: "Where did this nerd come from?" ”
Most of the subordinates are also the elite of the nine sides, after surrendering to the army, although they followed the army to fight the world, but there is still a chain of contempt within the army, such as their cavalry from the Ming official army, they look down on ordinary infantry troops.
Ling Jingyang saw that the two sides were full of sparks, as the sentry commander, he would not stand out for his subordinates, and he would not have to mix in the future, he led the war horse over and said: "This brother, you and I are both Dashun soldiers, you are riding horses, and charging into battle is powerful, but can you attack the city?" We went to support Baoding Mansion this time, without our infantry army, are you going to attack the city with your head? ”
Li Rufeng was very annoyed, his height of 1.92 meters was extraordinarily tall among the crowd, looking at Ling Jingyang's height was not as tall as him, he looked down at Ling Jingyang with contempt, and said, "Shorty." ”
The corners of Ling Jingyang's mouth twitched, he was not as tall as this stupid big man, but he was not short, at least fifteen centimeters taller than the average height of the Ming men of the same era, and his height was also the tallest among a group of subordinates, the corner of his mouth grinned, and said, "Do you want to compare?" ”
Li Rufeng couldn't wait to give Ling Jingyang some color, he twisted his neck, moved his wrist, and asked Ling Jingyang to let the horse come over with a cruel smile.
Ling Jingyang has been practicing hard with top killers for half a year, and he has a foundation in sanda, so he is not afraid of a stupid big man like Li Rufeng.
Because they were friendly troops, they were not allowed to kill each other, and there was any form of armed fighting, both of them were bare-handed, and the soldiers of the Dashun Army who passed by around all gathered around to watch a free fight.
Li Rufeng took off his shirt, revealing his strong chest, the black hair on his chest was particularly conspicuous under the eyes, he stood five meters away from Ling Jingyang, squatting with horse steps, but Ling Jingyang suddenly came to the stage with his right knee, his hands were raised in front of his chest, and his right arm was close to his ribs.
This strange posture made everyone wonder, what kind of weird tactic is this, Ling Jingyang looked at Li Rufeng intently, this is what he has learned Muay Thai for half a year, although he has only learned a little bit of skin, but relying on the foundation of Sanda, he can still get it.
Li Rufeng roared, striding meteor at the fastest speed to collide with Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang turned sideways and dodged Li Rufeng's collision, Li Rufeng's reaction ability was also fast, using the advantage of his long arm, he swung his fist and smashed Ling Jingyang's neck, this is a naked killing move.
The old steamed bun scolded for being despicable and shameless, but Ling Jingyang didn't panic at all, at the moment when Li Rufeng swung his fist, his upper body shrank down, his chest leaned back, and he slammed his right elbow upward, and his elbow was against Li Rufeng's armpit.
This violent collision, Li Rufeng was suddenly stunned, this was his weakness, the kind of pain and numbness came from his armpits, which made him lose his ability to resist almost instantly, and he wanted to cry in pain and want to die in pain.
There was also a sigh around, this big man usually flaunts his might, but recently he was put to the ground by a foot sentry commander within three moves, and now Li Rufeng's face is as red as a monkey's buttocks.
His subordinates hurriedly helped him up, and Ling Jingyang accepted it when he saw it, and said: "Fang is your carelessness, and after three more moves, I am not your opponent." ”
Li Rufeng turned his head and wanted to leave immediately, but Ling Jingyang asked him not to leave, Li Rufeng's face was gloomy, thinking that this person was deliberately humiliating him?
Ling Jingyang Xu Xin said: "This brother, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, the brother is still good in foot combat, this riding skill is indeed not as good as you, please give me more advice, we will kill the enemy together tonight, and we will take care of it." ”
This is said without leakage, giving Li Rufeng enough face, Li Rufeng is also a person with a good face, from the fight just now, he really can't beat Ling Jingyang, but his riding skills are indeed much better than Ling Jingyang.
He blushed and said to Ling Jingyang, your posture on the horse, the posture of getting off the horse is okay, that is, you need to pay attention to the direction of riding and shooting on the horse, the easiest is to shoot an arrow to the left in the direction of progress, the most difficult is to shoot an arrow to the right, and you are not left-handed, like everyone else, you are holding a bow in your left hand and hooking the string with your right hand, when you attack the enemy, you need to adjust the horse's head, so when charging, you must pay attention to the enemies on both sides.
Li Rufeng said so much, but Ling Jingyang heard that he was sincere, and he was very grateful to say thank you, Li Rufeng then left with his subordinates, Ling Jingyang continued to contact riding, and others also practiced with him, who knows if he will ride a horse and charge tonight, if he is average, he will be trampled to death by his own cavalry on the way to charge.
Ling Jingyang and others practiced horsemanship hard, and were seen by Li Daowei and Zhang Shun, the two went to the military camp of Xin Sizhong, the general of Zuo Weiwu, to receive military orders, and saw a group of soldiers watching on the way back.
Li Daowei had a little impression of Ling Jingyang, after all, he followed his personal soldiers the night before yesterday to raid Wei Dezao's house.
He made a bet with Zhang Shun that Ling Jingyang couldn't beat the big cavalry, Zhang Shun wanted to say that Ling Jingyang couldn't beat the big man, but Li Daowei said that Ling Jingyang couldn't beat him, and he had to bet with him again, so his subordinate had to bite the bullet and say that Ling Jingyang could solve the big cavalry.
The two watched with relish on the high ground, how could they think of Ling Jingyang to solve the battle within three moves, Li Daowei's eyes blinked several times, and he scolded the big man in his heart for being a waste, Zhang Shun's eyes lit up, this Ling Jingyang is really good.
Li Daowei said angrily: "That big man is really a waste, when Baoding Mansion is defeated, your subordinate will be promoted to the head of the department." ”
Zhang Shun was eager to promote Ling Jingyang to be the head of the department, he waited to defeat Baoding Mansion, recruit troops in Baoding Mansion, and improve the combat effectiveness of the army under his command, and he was also willing to smear Li Daowei's liver and brain.
