Chapter 404: Heavy Duty
Fortunately, Li Dingguo's injuries were not serious.
After being treated by the medical officer, the arrows were cleared, and his face was quite pale before, also due to excessive blood loss.
After all, knife wounds, sword wounds or something, so many wounds bleed out.
Not to mention a person, even a cow can't carry it.
But fortunately, Li Dingguo's injuries have calmed down now, and his life is not in danger.
But despite this, Li Dingguo could not see the slightest smile on his face.
He was worried about the situation in the north.
As someone who went head-to-head with the barbarian soldiers on the battlefield, he knew how strong those barbarian soldiers really were.
It is precisely for this reason that he is not optimistic about the situation in front of him.
"Lord Wang is in charge!"
"These steppe barbarians can't ask for anything good!"
Looking at the worried Li Dingguo, Huang Tinghui could only comfort him like this.
"These barbarians are different from the past, they used to be just scattered barbarian soldiers!"
"If you are brave, you will be brave, but most of the fights do not have too many rules to follow!"
"So in the face of such an enemy, their individual combat effectiveness is very strong!"
"But it's just that the individual combat power is stronger, if it's ten against ten, they don't necessarily be our opponents!"
"But this time!"
"Different!" Li Dingguo's brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of worry.
"Order, forbidden!"
"When to advance, when to retreat, when to kill together, when to cover the attack with a bow and arrow......"
"They are very skilled in these things......"
"It can be seen that these barbarian soldiers are no longer the grass robbers they used to be!"
"They have training, and they have unified command!"
"That's what worries me the most."
Li Dingguo is not only strong in martial arts, but also familiar with military books.
Of course, he knew why there was such a big gap in combat effectiveness between the peasant army, bandits, local militia, and border soldiers.
Training is one thing!
As for the organization, the order and prohibition are the most important.
When Sun Wu trained the concubines of Wu State, he did so at the cost of killing the two favorite concubines of King Wu, and finally gave the "army" composed of Wu concubines a certain combat effectiveness.
This is the horror of "order and ban".
If an army can do what it does, then it will definitely be invincible on the battlefield.
Become the toughest opponent.
It is precisely because of this that Li Dingguo is so worried.
The nomads have always been the great enemies of the Central Plains Dynasty, although they are not as large as the Central Plains population, but the number of war horses is extremely large.
In addition to war horses, they grew up on horseback.
Therefore, the archery on horseback can be said to be very exquisite.
There's an old saying that "speed is the army."
Just like playing a game, fast, flashing assassins are hard to catch.
The cavalry of the nomads came and went like the wind, and how did the soldiers of the Central Plains Dynasty deal with it?
Hearing Li Dingguo's extremely worried tone, Huang Tinghui could only sigh.
At present, among the armies of the entire Central Plains, the Qi family army should have the highest proportion of firearms.
In fact, in the early years of the unified Mengwu soldiers besieging the capital, Zhang Julu, who was the squire of the military department, commanded the Shenji battalion to kill the Mengwu soldiers and horses with cannons.
At that time, the cannons of the Shenji Battalion were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, turning the cavalry that the steppe barbarians were proud of on their backs.
It is said that the leader of the steppe barbarians at that time was hit by fragments of a cannonball and was seriously wounded in that battle.
In the face of such a big defeat, he could only withdraw from the Central Plains.
Since then, however, the steppe barbarians have fallen apart and civil strife has begun for a long time.
After all, the so-called unified Mongwu tribe at that time was actually just an alliance between various tribes.
After suffering a heavy blow, these tribes, which were already united by interests, will naturally not go back to the general unity they used to be.
After all, from the very beginning, people didn't expect to fight all the way to the capital.
After all, the God of War Emperor of the Great Sheng Kingdom was personally on the expedition and brought hundreds of thousands of people to beat them.
However, unlike the last time, these steppe tribes have become unified in the process of fighting.
Even if there are still some discordant voices inside, only if Kublai Cheng, the leader of the Mughal tribe, is not dead, they will not become a scattered sand.
Of course, this is also why Huang Tinghui has always believed that the biggest threat to the Central Plains Dynasty may not be the Mughu, but the Tuzhen who are learning the Central Plains system and adopting semi-nomadic and semi-plantation.
Compared with the Mughu, the Tuzhen are more like poisonous snakes hiding in the grass and spitting snake letters.
As long as he was not careful, this poisonous snake would jump up and bite hard towards the Central Plains Dynasty.
Of course, this poisonous snake is not just staring at the Central Plains Dynasty.
Although Huang Tinghui is not particularly familiar with the leader of the Tuzhen tribe, it can be seen from the fact that he is willing to be the son-in-law of Kublai Cheng, the leader of the Mengwu tribe.
This poisonous snake may still be staring at the Mughus!
As long as the Mughurs showed even the slightest hint of fatigue, they would not hesitate to open their bloody mouths and bite down on the Mughurs.
After all, the Li family father and son have been running Liaodong for too long, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word deep-rooted.
Facing the famous generals Li family father and son, no matter how arrogant the Tuzhen clan is, they don't think that they can really win the Li family father and son.
Therefore, if they want to enter the Central Plains, the Mughal people can provide them with a powerful boost.
"Dingguo!"
"Don't worry, what you can think of, Lao Shoufu and Lord Wang can naturally think of it!"
"If Lao Shoufu didn't know the strength of the barbarian army, he wouldn't have transferred Lord Wang, as well as the Qi family army and the Yu family army!"
Huang Tinghui said with relief to Li Dingguo.
"Qi Jiajun, Yu Jiajun?"
"They're coming to the North, too?" Hearing Huang Tinghui mention the names of these two armies, Li Dingguo breathed a long sigh of relief.
His eyes radiated a different style.
"That's right!"
"Lao Shousuke is under tremendous pressure and has mobilized them together!"
Huang Tinghui did not tell Li Dingguo that the current situation is just a compromise.
It is ridiculous to think about it, and in the face of such a powerful opponent, the country is even in danger of extinction.
These people are still busy holding each other back, and the old Shousuke can only compromise in this way.
What a joke!
"If they are there, these barbarians shouldn't be able to get anything good!"
"I have seen Qi Jiajun and Yu Jiajun, they are very strong!"
"Although the infantry is not as mobile as the cavalry, we are on the defensive!"
"Barbarians' war horses don't always work!"
Li Dingguo nodded, hearing that these two armies had come to the north.
The heart he was hanging on finally let go.
Just when Huang Tinghui and Li Dingguo were talking.
Wang Mingyang suddenly broke in, he stared at Li Dingguo and asked, "You are Li Dingguo?" ”
Li Dingguo, who didn't know why, was stunned for a moment, but he immediately said to Wang Mingyang, "Lord Wang, your subordinate is Li Dingguo!" ”
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite!" Wang Mingyang said to Li Dingguo, "I have long heard that there is a centurion in the northern border army who is not brave enough for ten thousand people!" ”
"This person is good at riding, archery, ......"
"I didn't expect to be so young, and he turned out to be a young talent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion!"
"Hahaha......"
"It seems that my Jiangsu and Zhejiang mansions are really full of talents!" Wang Mingyang stroked his beard and laughed at Li Dingguo.
"Your Excellency praises it!"
"Dingguo is just a martial artist!"
Hearing Wang Mingyang's praise, Li Dingguo said humbly with some embarrassment.
"Huh?"
"This is your strength, don't be modest!"
"But after I heard that you are a good shooter, and you are good at riding and shooting!"
"Got an idea!"
"I heard before that you are a centurion, and there are only a hundred people under your command!"
"How about I give you 2,000 now?"
"And it's all cavalry?" Wang Mingyang looked at Li Dingguo and asked.
Whether it is the Qi family army or the Yu family army, they are all infantry.
Infantry against cavalry has a natural disadvantage.
Wang Mingyang is not a passive person who is beaten, and he heard that Li Dingguo's archery skills are superb and his riding skills are outstanding.
He thought of assembling a group of soldiers who were also skilled in archery and riding and handed them over to him to command.
