Under the rule of Jingdong military and civilian government, all of them are Bai Yi (Dai nationality), which is one of the 20 guards in Yunnan that the Ming court attaches the most importance to, and the folk customs are extremely strong.

Tao Mingqing, the current prefect of the Tu, is the hereditary head of the Dai clan in Jingdong.

Son Tao Xi, 21 years old this year, has a snake body flying dragon gun in his hand, weighing 1008 pounds.

Diao Xun, the general of the army, is three years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he is accustomed to using a cooked copper stick weighing 98 catties.

These two guys are immediately skillful, both use seven-stone hard bows, can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, and have the courage of ten thousand people.

The Jingdong Military and Civilian Government has established a strict military service system, which is divided into standing army and township soldiers.

The selection of horse sergeants in the standing army was extremely strict, requiring them to run horses and shoot arrows at a distance of 50 paces, and to be able to hit a "two-finger-wide board". During the galloping of the war horse, the guns must not be scattered.

The most outrageous thing is that the horse sergeant of the standing army must also be able to speak, write and calculate, so that he can barely qualify.

It is no exaggeration to say that whether it is cavalry archery, fighting, or personal comprehensive elements, the Jingdong Standing Army and Horse Army can be called the first cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and there is absolutely no second.

If the selection of horse sergeants and soldiers of the Jingdong Standing Army is called strict, then the selection of the standing infantry soldiers is a perversion.

The first item in the selection of foot soldiers is "running the mountain", if it is not a steep slope in the process of climbing, it is not climbing, but running up with full armor.

The second item in the selection of foot soldiers is running on flat ground, which requires the ability to jump over six large pits one foot and three feet long in a row. And being able to carry one stone and five buckets of rice on his back and follow the horse army for forty miles is barely qualified.

The third item in the selection of foot soldiers is armed swimming, which requires foot soldiers to carry an eighteen-pound long sword on their backs and swim 2,000 feet away in the dangerous section of the Lancang River. Then land on the beach and capture the enemy's riverside positions.

The village soldiers of the Jingdong Military and Civil Mansion are different from any other tribe, and there is no distinction between men and women. And they are usually registered, and they participate in training after work.

In the event of conscription, the village soldiers must arrive at the assembly site on time, and those who delay will be beheaded. and brought their own weapons, horses, and food.

In history, Jingdong female soldiers have become famous all over the world.

In the thirteenth year of Tianbao (754), 100,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty arrived at Nongdong (Yao'an), and Princess Caiyun of Nanzhao led 1,200 female soldiers to fight.

The Tang army fought with six times the number of troops, and as a result, three battles and three defeats. In the end, the fire attack was adopted, and all the 1,200 female soldiers from Princess Caiyun down were burned to death.

Later generations cherish the memory of Princess Caiyun and 1,200 loyal and brave female soldiers, and call the burial place of Kainan female soldiers "Xiangyun", which is now Xiangyun County.

The army of Jingdong Military and Civil Government has such a strong combat effectiveness, in addition to the harsh conditions for selecting non-commissioned officers, the key is that its military regulations are very special.

Although it is more special, there are only two military regulations:

On the battlefield, if the body is wounded head-on, enjoy the best treatment, cancel the slavery, and give two acres of rice fields and five acres of mountainous land.

On the battlefield, if the back of the body is found to be injured, regardless of rank, the body will be beheaded and exposed to the public. Let it rot and not be buried.

The Jingdong Standing Army was divided into two parts: an elephant team of 3,000 men and a horse team of 27,000 men, all of which were armed with spears eight feet long.

Jingdong Township soldiers, if all recruited, can dispatch 60,000 troops, including 15,000 female soldiers. There are no requirements for weapons, there are maces, cooked copper sticks, horse sabers, spears, and so on.

This time, the Yunnan Governor's Office issued an urgent dispatch of troops, ordering the Jingdong Military and Civil Government to immediately send troops to encircle and suppress the rebels entrenched in the vicinity of Wuding and Yuanmou.

Tao Mingqing, the prefect of the Tu Prefecture, did not hesitate at all after receiving the military order, and immediately issued an order to send troops.

Diao Xun, the commander of the army, led a standing army of 1,000 elephants (100 elephants, 1,000 foot soldiers), 2,000 horses, and 2,000 township soldiers and horses, a total of 5,000 cavalry to rush north.

Because the Jingdong Dai people advocate reading, there are no fools in the army, but many people know the art of war.

Even if Diao Xun is not the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, he is definitely not a fool.

After the scouts reconnoitred in advance, they discovered the way the Xiong Kaishan hussar battalion was arranged:

2,000 cavalry were stationed in the camp of Heijing Town, 400 heavy cavalry were stationed in Panlong Town in the west, and 300 cavalry were stationed in the northernmost town of Xujie, with a total of 2,700 cavalry.

Diao Xun pondered for a while, and then he had a countermeasure:

Two thousand township soldiers took advantage of their geographical familiarity to conceal themselves and approach the enemy to attack the baggage cavalry in Panlong Town.

The 3,000 cavalry of the standing army slowed down their advance and waited for a favorable moment to attack the main force of Heijing Town.

Xiong Kaishan had just received Yan Erniang's golden eagle message, and only then did he know that his combat target was not Wubikui in the north, but the Jingdong Tusi army in the south.

The scouts found out the enemy's news and reported that Xiong Kaishan was not very concerned about the enemy's 5,000 cavalry.

The only adjustment made was to order the northernmost outpost of 300 cavalry to immediately retreat to Panlong Town, and hold it together with 400 heavy cavalry.

As the saying goes: the arrogant army will be defeated.

Xiong Chu's order was very clear: "If the enemy is fierce, get out of the way, let the enemy go deep into the hinterland of Yuanmou, and then design to kill him." ”

Although Xiong Kaishan led the hussar battalion to experience a bloody battle, he had not yet encountered an opponent since he came to the land of the Southern Barbarians, so he was a little light on those Tusi troops.

Only in this way, Xiong Kaishan was ready to fight to the death with the enemy, and he did not think about the matter of "getting out of the way and luring the enemy in", so naturally he did not prepare.

Xiong Kaishan's scouts are not those "chicken thieves" of Zhou Laosi, but a team of 100 people serving as a patrol.

As a result, one carelessly did not find that the enemy who was slowly approaching was less than 2,000 people.

The only thing that was identified was that the enemy had a particularly strange cavalry at the lead. That strange war horse was a little taller than an ordinary war horse, and it actually had two long fangs.

The reason why it is very strange is that the troops of the hussar battalion were expanded on the Songpan side, and the soldiers came from Shaanxi, and none of the soldiers had ever seen an elephant.

Xiong Kaishan was about to personally take people out to see the enemy's "strange cavalry", when the herald screamed and made him break out in a cold sweat:

"Tell the general: Panlong Town has been attacked by the enemy! The enemy's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and the cavalry of the two sides is already deadlocked as soon as they meet. At present, we have lost nearly 100 men, and Deputy Commander Yasburu is asking for reinforcements!"

I'm fooled!

Xiong Kaishan is not very old, and he has a lot of experience, and after a moment of shock, he immediately understood: it turned out that the enemy also knew the strategy of "repairing the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark".

Now you must not send troops to rescue Panlong Town, otherwise the enemy may stop and attack horizontally, and then pinch the head and tail, so that you can't take care of each other, then you will be defeated and lost.

"Order: There is no need for the troops under Panlong Town to hold on to those supplies, move immediately, don't run into the enemy head-on, and take the enemy in circles!"

After the herald flew away, Xiong Kaishan roared angrily: "Fan Tao, you lead 800 people to go out ten miles to set up a formation, and I will lead the follow-up troops to arrive immediately." The enemy is not good this time, so you must be careful. ”

Fan Tao didn't stop at all, and in less than five breaths, he had already galloped south with eight hundred elite horsemen and galloped south.

Xiong Kaishan was neatly draped, and the herald had already brought the chrysanthemum green. Almost the front and rear feet, the remaining 1,200 elite horsemen also rushed south.

The hussar battalions were all replaced by Yanqi horses later, and there was no opponent in trekking through mountains and rivers.

However, in the blink of an eye, Xiong Kaishan had already seen Fan Tao's 800 people retreating, and more than 100 extremely strange war horses appeared behind him to chase all the way, and the earth began to shake during the running.

"This is a monster, not a war horse at all!"

Xiong Kaishan was surprised in his heart, but the order was orderly: "Get out of the way and let Fan Tao and them over." The archers are ready to strike at the cavalry that is following behind the enemy!"

Xiong Kaishan adjusted the order, although it was good, but he still underestimated the enemy's combat effectiveness.

Fan Tao led 800 people to rush over as if in a hurricane, and the enemy's rushing elephant team came over, followed by 1,000 cavalry.

As a result, a scene that surprised Xiong Kaishan again: the first round of bows and arrows between the two sides fired, and nearly 100 people on his side were suddenly hit by arrows and fell off their horses.

His own men sat on horseback and fired arrows, but they shot down less than 200 people.

The enemy fires arrows at the high speed of the charge, and it has such a high hit rate!

Xiong Kaishan had never suffered such a big loss, only to see that his eyes were about to split, his hands touched the saddle bridge, and a pair of iron hammers were already screwed in his hands, and at the same time he shouted wildly: "Kill-"

Chrysanthemum Qing also seemed to feel the anger of her master, and her four hooves spread out, flipping like flying, like a wisp of light smoke crashing into the enemy's cavalry ranks.

The backbone of the hussar battalion is all brave men selected from the Mongolian steppe. 1,200 war horses galloped, and the gentle slope of the entire Nanshan West was suddenly dusty, and the shouts of killing were even more earth-shattering.

Xiong Kaishan took the lead, and a pair of iron hammers broke into the enemy formation with bows left and right, and immediately smashed the heads of the enemy's eight war horses and tore a gap.

The large force behind him rushed in close behind, slashed the enemy's cavalry in two, and then divided the two sides, launching a desperate counterattack against the enemy on the north and south sides.

This method of warfare, from the Mongolian steppe, all the way to kill, has never met an opponent, so only then has the hussar battalion invincible confidence in the world.

Naturally, this kind of confidence is not obtained out of thin air, but is also created by strong combat effectiveness.

Although the Jingdong cavalry was strong enough, Diao Xun also made a mistake here.

If he encountered other Tusi troops, or the army of the Ming court, a surprise attack just now might have frightened the enemy.

But it was the first time he had seen a fierce general like Xiong Kaishan, who had taken the lead in breaking into the cavalry team of more than 1,000 people, and there was no enemy under the two hammers, and it was too late to adjust.

Now that the two sides are mixed together, the elephant team with the most powerful impact will not be useful, so it can only be decided by the strength of the cavalry.

Diao Xun's only peace of mind was that he still had a thousand cavalry in his hands that had not been put into battle, and it was useless for the elephant team to chase the enemy's 800 cavalry out.

According to the conventional situation, Diao Xun, as the supreme commander of the army, will definitely not go into battle in person.

But not now, because he can't stand it anymore.

The two hammers of the enemy's main commander were really infuriating, and each time three centurions went up to besiege them, and they were all stoned to death before they could hold out for three rounds.

Now he has been stoned to death by that guy for six centurions, and killed two of his own formations.

With a shake of the cooked copper stick in his hand, Diao Xun rushed up from behind with a loud roar.

He wants to fight the enemy's main general, control the opponent's activity space, and suppress his huge lethality!
