In the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, at the end of the first month, Guyuan supervised the army yamen.

In the warm war hall, the three-sided governor Qin Dashuai held his hands behind his back and silently stared at the huge map on the wall. At the big table not far away, Cheng Minzheng was buried in the case to deal with the documents.

Opposite the giant table, Cheng Qi carefully took down the boiling kettle from the stove, scalded the teapot and bowl, and brought hot tea to the two elders.

Qin Hong took a sip and opened his mouth to persuade: "Keqin! Don't get too tired and drink while it's hot. This is the hundred-year-old ginseng that the kid specially asked for from the palace for you, and the old man can also follow it. ”

Cheng Minzheng smiled slightly, took a sip, and let out a long sigh of comfort. Soon frowned again: "Uncle Shi, aren't you worried at all?" ”

Qin Hong smiled and said, "Worried about that little slippery head? Save it! In the past six months, our two fathers have dealt with him, and on the surface, we seem to have taken a lot of advantage. But look back and think about it, which time is not him making a lot of money! ”

"After all, it's the first time to fight, and he's just turned thirteen......"

"He trained for months and spent countless amounts of money and food. If you don't go to war, don't you lose money? Loss-making business, that kid will definitely not do it! A year ago, you were rewarded with silver, and you were still worried that no one wanted the silver dollar, but now you look at it, and you can't wait to be an heirloom. I heard them say that they have fried a couple of dollars in private! I can't get any money with it. Just this hand, those bitter haha are equivalent to receiving an extra 20% of the reward, can you still be happy? ”

Cheng Minzheng smiled bitterly: "Yes, who would have thought of it? At first, he just promised that the shops under the name of Sihai could be exchanged at will. Many soldiers changed at that time, and when everyone later found out that it was cheaper to eat at the Four Seas Restaurant with silver dollars, some people regretted it, and later, some people were willing to buy it at a high price in private...... Tsk, who do you think he learned this ability from? ”

"Didn't he say it himself, it was the prince's idea, and he was just responsible for the implementation. You also told the old man earlier that the prince is a prodigy you have seen, why don't you believe it now? ”

"I'm just scared. The prince is so smart but not close to scholars, he is good at martial arts and greedy for money, he is not the image of the holy lord......"

"Report!" The guard at the gate interrupted: "Marshal, Commander Zhu asks to see you, there is a military situation report!" ”

"Enter!"

Zhu Ding opened the thick door curtain, entered the door with a cold air, and stood upright: "Handsome!" Mr. Cheng! Sun Qianhu won the first battle, beheaded the Tartars one hundred and three levels, captured more than 200 people, rescued 53 captives of border people, and seized more than 2,000 cattle, sheep and other livestock. Here's the battle report! ”

Qin Hongda was surprised, took the battle report and read it carefully, and hurriedly glanced at it, the battle report was written very briefly, and the details could only be asked to Zhu Ding: "If you want to lead the team to protect him, why did you let him go to the first game?" ”

Zhu Ding's face turned red all of a sudden: "When I say it, my subordinates feel ashamed, the sons and daughters have just been equipped with a new riding knife, and they all want to show off their skills arrogantly." As a result, he marched against the wind, and he couldn't run away on horseback. Half a month ago, in Wuhaizi, we encountered an enemy outpost, and before we could react, Sun Ying ended the battle. People use muskets, and they can finish with a row of guns from afar. After interrogating the prisoners, it was learned that a Tatar vanguard battalion of 300 men was stationed ten miles away, and Sun Qianhu ordered an attack at that time. We had just set up camp and hurried out again to catch up. It's just a slow step, and when they arrive, the victory is decided, and the sons can only watch Sun Ying clean up the battlefield......"

Qin Hong snorted and sneered: "When I grabbed the equipment, I said that I was an elite, but now my combat ability is not as good as that of people, and even the speed of the march is not as good as that of people, what kind of face do you have to blow the atmosphere?" Go back and practice! ”

"Yes!"

"What about others?"

Sun Qianhu said that this battle exposed many problems, and it was necessary to make some tactical adjustments, and then find an opportunity to fight again. The captives and the people, as well as the cattle, sheep and livestock, let us take them back first. The sons and daughters didn't have the face to follow them anymore, so they had to come back first. ”

Qin Hong was surprised: "You just left him and came back by yourself?" He only had more than 500 men, most of them infantry, and wouldn't it be bad if he encountered a large number of enemies? ”

Zhu Ding sighed: "My subordinates don't want to, they set off at night, and it snowed again in the second half of the night, and they couldn't even find where they went at dawn." However, the marshal doesn't have to worry, with what his subordinates have seen with their own eyes, Sun Qianhu's five hundred people, even if they encounter ten times the enemy, they can easily retreat...... No, maybe just take it! ”

Qin Hong was also helpless, and suddenly thought of a question again: "This battle report says that it has been captured, but what about the casualties?" ”

Zhu Ding was choked as if he was constipated: "No, not a single one has been killed!" There were only two nights when I didn't get my sleeping bag right, my fingers were frozen and swollen, I couldn't shoot, and I was thrown back by Sun Qianhu to my subordinates, and I didn't enter the city just now, and went back to Xiaohewan. ”

The same troops, all victories in one battle, no casualties? It's also a little scary.

Qin Hong couldn't help but take a deeper interest in this musket unit.

The time was slightly pushed forward by half a day, and at dawn, five hundred miles north of Guyuan, somewhere in the Hetao area.

Half a foot of snow can't extinguish the frenzy in the hearts of these young tigers who have gone down the mountain, they have been on the battlefield once, seen blood once, trained recruits for half a year, and completed the biggest level of conversion between rookies and veterans.

After half a month of marching and reconnaissance, the fighter plane was finally captured again.

This time, Sun Zheng targeted a Tatar tribe that hid in a ravine to hide from the wind and snow.

There are high-definition high-power binoculars, and all the staff are wearing white camouflage clothes. With this absolute superiority, the poor spies of the Tatars were captured without even a bubble. After a detailed review, Si Ling led the team to reconnoiter close and found out the situation of the target.

The Tatars may have become accustomed to their majesty, and the retreat of the Ming border army for more than ten years has made these people basically lose their vigilance.

There are more than 300 tents set up in the typhoon shelter, and there are about 500 or 600 soldiers in this tribe, nearly 1,000 old and weak women and children, and the captives confess, including more than 100 Han slaves who have been captured over the years.

The shelter was supposed to be an old river channel, tens of meters wide, and the area they chose to camp on was a bend in the area, using the terrain to shelter from the wind and snow.

This kind of terrain confrontation is indeed the best, but when used in battle, it is a dead place where there is no way out. However, the Tatars have been on the offensive all these years, and they have long lost the impression of being attacked by the enemy.

Originally, there were only 300 pro-military battalions, but Sun Zheng played various slogans and trained thousands of people. The 500 people led this time were half of them with relatively good training performance.

The muskets he equipped his soldiers with were all black powder rifles that he redesigned and produced in space. With the plug-in in hand, he was too lazy to engage in a front-loading array to attack, and directly used the reloading bullet, but the black powder was used for firing the medicine. It's just that the caliber is a little larger, the cartridge case is a little thicker, and you need to be careful to clean the battlefield.

Soldiers carry ten rounds of ammunition for each battle. After the bullets are fired, you have to fight the bayonet.

In addition to the 300 musketeers, there was also a team of engineers responsible for logistics, ambulance, and other affairs, and a team of cavalry for special affairs such as communications and charges.

The sappers quietly buried piles on the main road to the entrance, pulled up the barbed wire, and waited for Sun Zheng's order after everything was ready.

A hundred cavalry were already jumping hundreds of meters away, and these guys were the most equipped. Each was armed with four grenades, a five-shot revolver, a hundred refined riding knives, and thin armor made of titanium.

Treading Xue, who was in charge of commanding the cavalry company, was making the final pre-battle mobilization: "I won't repeat the tactical points, just remind you that whoever wants to throw the grenade out without pulling the string like last time, and go back to wash the socks of the whole company!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and several of them were red-faced.

The command flag was raised in front.

Treading Snow drew his saber: "Attack!" ”

Five groups of cavalry quickly passed through the passage reserved by the barbed wire, and in a few breaths they swooped down on the Tatar tents. The head and face were first attacked with a grenade, which directly blew up the Mongolian warriors who were still in their old age.

The Tatar Qianhu Keerbol of the Chinese military tent pushed away the concubine, jumped up naked, and looked for himself in the tent without a head. Before he could get dressed, there was a soft sound in his ears, which was the sound of a knife cutting through the tent. Fortunately, his military tent is two-tiered, otherwise it would have been gone. In the faint light of the day, Kerrbol saw a small black mallet smash through the crack in the tent and fall between the two floors.

What is this? Rumble!

The explosion was close to him, and he directly lifted Kerbol into a fart mound, and then he got up with blood on his face, shaking his dazed head, this Qianhu was almost subconscious, drawing a knife in his hand, stumbling out of the tent, wanting to organize his own warriors to fight back.

Because the explosion affected his hearing, he didn't notice that a group of cavalry was shuttling around his tent, reaching out to wipe a handful of dirty blood, trying to open his eyes to see the situation clearly, only to feel that the sky was spinning, and a bare-assed and headless body appeared in his sight......

Woo...... Someone still found an opportunity to blow the horn, which is a warning signal. At the same time, a military tent rose into the sky, and this thing functioned like wolf smoke.

Half a minute later, more than ten miles away, a bull's horn sounded in the distance, which was a signal to receive and prepare to raise troops to help.

Sun Zheng is a little looking forward to it, and he is surrounded by reinforcements, so familiar!
