The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

In Longde City, Pingqing Prefecture, Chi Zheli, the commander of the Mimeng army, looked at Ursula, the Qianhu official kneeling at his head, and wanted to chop her to death with a saber.

Since the Battle of Yinzhou, the Mongol army has been devastated and faced almost no resistance.

Unexpectedly, Ursula was defeated when she went south. A southern barbarian army in black clothes called the Yungu Army suddenly appeared and maimed a thousand people. She fled back in embarrassment with only two to three hundred people. Camp.

"You said that they were defeated by the cavalry of the Yungu Army during the field battle? Ursula and our Mi Meng cavalry have never suffered such a big loss in the field? Let the Great Khan know that you can defeat your cavalry. Kill all the tribesmen!" After holding on for a long time, Chizheli finally restrained himself from using the knife and instead raised his whip and scolded Ursula while lashing her!

"General, it's not that Ursula is at a disadvantage in the battle, it's actually that the Yungu Army is different from other armies. Their cavalry is not good at riding and fighting. When they encountered our army, they dismounted and formed a formation. I looked at them as if they didn't have a bow. Just arrange for the cavalry to shoot.

Unexpectedly, their entire army had muskets, and the muskets were strangely able to fire continuously, and they were able to hit far and accurately. Our army was unable to get closer at all, and many men and horses were lost.

Seeing that the opponent's formation was in order, his subordinates thought of pulling them away from the distance and fighting again. As a result, after our army retreated in a roundabout way, they did catch up with us, and our formation was dispersed by us, but they still maintained a small team of about ten people! After our army counterattacked the siege, we did not take advantage. After a few battles, our troops suffered heavy casualties, and our subordinates had to retreat with the remaining troops. "

Ursula was very aggrieved and told her experience of losing the battle. It was not that she didn't work hard, but that there was really no way to win.

The previous unfavorable tactics and fighting styles were completely ineffective in the face of the unreasonable weapons of all members of the Yungu Army.

"Everyone in their army has muskets? Although muskets are powerful, loading them with explosives is time-consuming and the shots are inaccurate. Are Yungu Barbarian's muskets really as useful as you say?" Chizhe thought to himself. Knowing that what Ursula said was not necessarily an excuse for the defeat, she quickly asked how the Yungu army defeated them.

As a newly emerging force, the military generals of the Mimeng people will never underestimate any opponent at the tactical level, otherwise they would not have risen so quickly.

"General, their muskets are much easier to use than the muskets we have seen used by the Xiang people. The charges are extremely fast, and the rate of fire is even comparable to our bows and arrows! In terms of armor-piercing ability, it is several times that of Bows and crossbows. When both sides are wearing armor, our army can't do anything to the Yungu Army. Moreover, its military formation is well-organized in both formation and march. It is difficult to cause confusion and it is an extremely difficult opponent."

Seeing that her parents were willing to listen to her explanation, Ursula quickly reported all her observations on the battlefield in an attempt to exonerate herself.

"Do they have a lot of artillery in their army?"

"Artillery? It's not that common. We saw very few during battles." Ursula's troops had never come into contact with the infantry of the Yungu Army. How could he see the artillery of the Yungu Army?

"You retreat first and wait for me! I will ask a few surrendered generals of the Xiang army to ask about the situation. I heard the defeated general of the Xiang army said about this Yungu army. They fought with it several times and did not take advantage. The firearms were indeed somewhat Name. It should be a strong enemy. You are fighting against it for the first time and are not familiar with the enemy. There is a reason why you lost for a while. But I will not let you off lightly after losing hundreds of soldiers and horses. "

After listening to Ursula's analysis, Chizheli felt that Ursula was still useful and decided not to deal with this person again.

Chizheli had only heard rumors about the Yungu Army, but he was really unsure of the specifics. Unknown enemies are the most terrifying, and Ursula is the only trusted general in his army who has taken over the battle with the Yungu Army, which is helpful for him to determine the enemy's situation. Right now, the most important thing is to find a way to deal with this Yungu Army. After Ursula was escorted away, Chizheli asked several surrendered generals of the Xiang Army who were accompanying the army to find out from them what kind of army the Yungu Army was.

After General Xiang Jun finished explaining the situation, Chi Zheli's face became a little solemn.

It turns out that firearms were not used on a large scale by Beixiang or Zheng Jun, but were passed down from Yungu Jun. In this way, the firearms used by the Mongol army were students of students.

So does this mean that the Mi-Meng army has nothing to do with the Yungu army? After thinking deeply, Chi Zheli felt that this might not be the case.

Who says students can't beat teachers? After we obtained firearms from the Beixiang people, didn't we Mimeng people rely on firearms, bows and horses to destroy their country in just a few years? Now there are more Xiang firearms craftsmen captured in the country than before the Xiang was exterminated, so the military strength should increase faster.

Although the Yungu Army is the first user of firearms, it has been shrinking in a small area over the years. No matter how you look at it, it is more than strong enough to be aggressive and not aggressive enough. It is difficult for such a force to achieve great things, unlike our country of Miao Meng, which relies on war to support itself. The more wars and soldiers are fought, the more the country becomes stronger.

Chi Zheli also heard a piece of news from Xiang Renjiang. The Yungu army was extremely prosperous, and the woolen coat he wore was produced in the Yungu area.

It’s good to be rich! The richer you are and the more you gain from war, the more time it will take to fight this war. Their military strength is not a problem, as long as they are not poor and difficult to fight.

Since they are difficult to deal with, we should prepare more means and troops, and we still don’t believe that we can’t make this windfall.

"Send the order to assemble all the troops and horses of the five thousand households under my general. In addition, use all the troops from the North that I have controlled. This time we will use [-] troops to fight a big battle." , let’s see how capable this Yungu Army is.” Chi Zheli finally decided to use all the resources he could use, and went south with all his strength, eating the fat Yungu Army into his mouth in one fell swoop!
  Among the soldiers and horses under the command of Chizheli, there are only five thousand soldiers and more than [-] people from Mimeng's headquarters. However, there are also more than [-] servants who have surrendered to Xiang's army. Speaking of which, he is also a general with more than [-] soldiers. . In the ranks of the Mi-Meng army, he is considered a powerful figure.

It's just that he is not a noble of the Mimeng Khan Court. After Xiang was exterminated, he was not assigned a traditional fat job. The combat tasks undertaken by his troops were not important.

Who would have thought that such a useless job would lead to such a good piece of meat in Yungu? Yungu's wealth was enough for Chizheli to devote all his troops to the gamble.

Of course, Chizheli didn't just decide to fight a decisive battle because he was completely blinded by wealth. He also saw that the Yungu Army had not established a stable foothold in the Jingzhou area and that fighter opportunities were rare.

In his opinion, the area where the main force of the Yungu Army is currently located is not its original territory. To put it bluntly, everyone is an outsider and they have no home advantage. The Yungu Army has to face its own army and be distracted. Maintaining local stability and doing two things at once will inevitably weaken your power.
