Chapter 149 The Tartars Are Here
Everything is difficult at the beginning. For Jia Yu, as long as the problem of mobility is solved, the power of the army in his hands will definitely be much greater than 1+1.

The more than 1 horses seized were all good horses selected by the Mongols to supplement the losses on the front line, but now they are all cheaper for Jia Yu.

Of course, a qualified cavalry cannot be trained in a day or two. It requires long-term and hard practice to make progress.

What's more, Jia Yu understands that no matter how hard they practice, they can't compare to the people who have lived on horseback since childhood, but there is still no problem in using war horses to improve the mobility of infantry.

Therefore, in the next few days, Jia Yu issued an order to the entire army, that is, starting from today, all those who cannot ride a horse must spend twelve hours a day with their own horses except for eating, drinking and defecating. War horses together.

This order will cause hardship to those soldiers who cannot ride horses. Whether they are marching, eating or sleeping, they must all be done on horseback.

In two days, many people were bruised and swollen from the fall. In the end, I don’t know who came up with the idea and tied themselves to the horses with ropes. Only then did the situation get better.

However, these days of hard work are not in vain. After several days of assault training, the riding skills of the entire army have been greatly improved.

Successfully transformed from a novice who knew nothing to a rookie who could barely ride a horse.

As the sun set, Jia Yu stood on a mound in the vast wilderness, looking at the thick smoke rising not far away and the corpses covering the ground, and fell into deep thought for a while.

"Brother Ziying!"

"I am humble!"

Feng Ziying ran over and saluted him.

Looking at Feng Ziying who was less bold and more determined and fierce, Jia Yu nodded.

War is the most training place for people. After several battles, Feng Ziying's changes are visible to the naked eye.

“Sir, there are 290 and 670 Tatars in the camp here, and [-] and five women and children are captives.

In this battle, we seized a total of 7547 horses, 15782 cattle and sheep, and more than [-] taels of gold and silver. "

"very good."

Jia Yu nodded with satisfaction. Since the first batch of war horses were captured, the army's mobility has increased linearly. In just five days, they destroyed four nomadic tribes and captured more than 3 war horses, as well as a total of cattle and sheep. More than 6 heads.

At the same time, with the increase in seizures, more and more people were needed to feed and take care of these livestock. For this reason, Jia Yu had to order that some women, children, and children be left behind to take care of these livestock.

There was no other way. In order to increase the rapid mobility of the troops, Jia Yu could only find a place to hide the baggage camp and Qingzhuang, while he led the large troops to search for the Tatars within a radius of two hundred miles of Tongguan. Nomadic camp.

Just when Jia Yu was about to order a large group of people to make a meal and have a good meal, the sound of rushing horse hooves came over.

Soon, two cavalrymen dressed in night clothes were speeding toward the camp.

After some inquiries, they found Jia Yu on the hill.

After they dismounted, they went to Jia Yu and Feng Ziying and bowed down. The leader, a burly man, loudly said: "The troops will not be closed at night, Zhengtian Qinghe meets the general!"

"Captain Tian, ​​please get up."

Jia Yu raised her hand, "Did Captain Tian find anything?"

"Discovered." Tian Qinghe said in a deep voice: "At the end of today, I discovered a Tatar brigade sixty miles southwest of here. The number is about six thousand. Now they are coming in our direction. There are still General, please prepare as soon as possible."

"Sixty miles away?" Jia Yu looked stunned. Before he could speak, Feng Ziying asked: "Didn't our spies be placed a hundred miles away? Why were the Tatars only discovered sixty miles away?"

Tian Qinghe's expression darkened, "It is estimated that the group of brothers a hundred miles away were discovered by the Tatar sentry and silenced."

Feng Ziying stopped talking, with a hint of sadness on her face.

If a soldier's job is to lick blood from the tip of a knife, then if you don't cut it all night, you will be dancing on the tip of the knife. It can be said to be the most dangerous in the entire army, and its breakage rate is also the highest.

Seeing Feng Ziying's expression, Tian Qinghe looked tolerant, and instead advised: "Adults, don't feel sorry for the villain. Ever since I got this bowl of rice, the villain and other brothers have looked away.

If I can survive for one more day, I will earn it, and Master Jia also gave my family enough money before departure. Even if the villain is gone, the money left will be enough for the mother-in-law and children at home. "

"Pity the bones by the Wuding River, especially the people in the boudoir dream." Jia Yu couldn't help but sigh.

After a war, countless wives lost their husbands and mothers lost their sons.

However, the emotion only lasted for a moment. The most important thing before them now was the six thousand Tatar soldiers coming towards them.

Jia Yu sent someone to call Wu Yunchun and Xie Youyuan. After everyone arrived, Jia Yu told them the whole story.

"Everyone, this is what happened. Now, there are two ways before us. The first is to quickly grease the soles of our feet and escape, and the second is to put up a posture here and fight the Tatars with real swords and guns. field.

I wonder what you think? "

The three of them were silent for a while. They had only been in the army for a few months. Although they had destroyed several Tatar camps through raids in the past few days, they were just bullying a group of old, weak women and children. This is the first time the troops have fought in a war.

After a long time, Xie Youyuan gritted his teeth: "Sir, since these Tatars are here, how can we let them go?
In my humble opinion, it is better to start a battle here and have a good fight with the Tatars! "

"What about you? Do you think so too?" Jia Yu glanced at the other two people.

"This is natural." Wu Yunchun also said: "Aren't we going to risk our lives with the Tatars on this trip?

Now that the Tatars have arrived, if we don't fight them fiercely, are we worthy of the hard work these days? "

Feng Ziying said without hesitation: "As long as this group of Tatars can be killed, the Tuo Tuo Bu Hua in Tongguan will be unable to sit still, right?"

"Hahaha……"

Jia Yu laughed, his military spirit was at his service.

"Sure enough, the heroes see the same thing. Since everyone has decided to fight the Tatars, what else is there to say.

The order was immediately given, and the soldiers took the time to have a hearty meal. After half an hour, they began to get into position and have a good encounter with the Tatars.

I would like to see how capable Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's soldiers and horses are in fighting! "

Following Jia Yu's order, the soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield leisurely quickly became busy.

The foremen were busy distributing dry food and barbecue to the soldiers, the soldiers were busy checking weapons and wiping armor, and the gunners were busy checking ammunition and projectiles.

Jia Yu's first battle after leaving Beijing is about to begin...
