Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1011 First Encounter on the Plain
According to a certain general in Liao Town, the Huwei army is different from other soldiers and horses. They are quiet and creepy. When we started with them, we all wondered if this is the world. Later, we got some dog blood and spilled it secretly, only to realize that I was guessing. .

Serenity is the embodiment of the strict military discipline of the Tiger Might Army, but this morning, there was still some commotion in the camp. After this battle, almost everything came to an end. Everyone may be resting or have other arrangements to withdraw from this long and boring battle. , this is always a bit overwhelming.

The cavalry were already feeding the horses, and when they went on the road, they had to lead the horses and follow the infantry for a while. In order to save horsepower before the battle, this was also a rule, and only the cavalry on duty rode out to investigate.

Half of the sky is still dark, and the stars can be seen clearly, while the other half has turned white, but the sun has not yet come out.

The peasants got up earlier, they had to prepare meals for the army, today they don't need to move forward, just stay here.

With a complete camp, there is no need to worry about the enemy's stealing the camp. After all, the Huwei Army's supply camp is also a qualified soldier in other armies, and it is not far from the battlefield. The rare soldiers can also rush back to rescue in the fastest time.

There are Jurchen guides in the army, but these guides are not very familiar with the road, and they can probably judge the direction, but this is enough for the army. These Jurchen guides are all merchants who have lived in Daming for more than ten years, and often go back and forth Running, such a family member has everything in Liao Town, and reliability is also there. The most important thing is reliability when the army is outside, and the rest can be put back.

It would be a catastrophe if the guides hired locally took the army to some dangerous place, so everything should be cautious, and it would be better to be less efficient than to make any mistakes. The news of these guides, Wang Tong must let the Huwei army and the cavalry of each army go to explore again before they can be sure.

Now it is less than ten miles away from the battlefield under judgment. The army has already prepared and lined up. Wang Tong took a deep breath on the horse. The air is fresh and cold, which makes people feel refreshed. Wang Tong shakes the reins, and the mount neighs , started to move forward, Wang Tong raised his arm and waved forward.

The sound of military drums was beating, and the generals began to give orders loudly. The army came out of the camp and began to move. I don't know if it was an illusion or what. Moved.

****************
Because the terrain was flat, the sky gradually brightened again, and the distance of a few miles was not far, and Wang Tong could already see the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses lined up on the opposite side.

Perhaps it is because there are enough people captured these days, and the Jurchens on the opposite side seem to be quite large. The guards who follow Wang Tong keep bringing the news from Tan Ma. As the battalion officer of the Huwei Army, Li Hutou followed beside Wang Tong.

"This is the edge of the plain. Behind the enemy formation is the foothills. It is very troublesome for the army to walk in it. This also means a last stand."

Wang Tong said in a deep voice, Li Hu nodded beside him, and said:
"It's a pity that none of our nine-pound cannons were brought here, or else they would have blown them away, making Tartar's tricks a joke."

"A six-pound cannon is enough. Whether it's a cannon or a blunderbuss, it can kill people but not wipe them out. It may be possible in the future, but it can't be done now. If you want to kill and wipe out the enemy on a large scale, you have to rely on infantry and cavalry .”

Wang Tong urged, and Li Hutou responded cautiously. He knew that on such an occasion, Wang Tong taught himself by precepts and deeds. General Tan was in a coma for a while the day before yesterday. There was a good doctor in the army, and he was also the support doctor of Li Chengliang's family. After the diagnosis and treatment, he said that he didn't need to take medicine.

Everyone understands the meaning of this sentence. I wanted General Tan to rest and wait in the camp this morning, but I didn’t expect that General Tan woke up earlier than Wang Tong, and his spirit was also very good. Come ruddy.

Tan Dahu and Tan Erhu were a little bit happier, and came to say hello, but General Tan reprimanded him and went back, saying that the big battle was imminent, and why did they come here instead of staying in their own army.

But seeing such a situation, Wang Tong, Tan Bing, Cai Nan and others understood what was going on, and felt pity in their hearts, but they didn't know how to express it.

Seeing Wang Tong turn around, Tan Jiang said with a smile:

"After defeating this bandit chieftain, the centuries-old peace in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty can be preserved."

"Master Tan, where are the Tumans?"

Li Hutou interjected, and Tan Jiang smiled and said again:

"You don't know the skills of the guards and the city guards of the merchant group. They are a pack of wolves, eating a piece of meat, and sooner or later they will gnaw the barbarians into a pile of bones."

Everyone who said this laughed, and Li Hutou shook his head pretending to be old-fashioned and sighed:
"But they are all bodyguards hired by caravans. When I was in Ji Town with my father, a lot of our Daming caravans were robbed on the grassland. How come it only took a few years for us to rob other people?" Woolen cloth!?"

He also knew the reason, but he wanted General Tan to say a few more words. General Tan explained with great interest:
"It's too early to be without profit. Seeing so many goods in front of you, you can get them back as long as you move a knife. Who is not tempted? Besides, the master gave them armor and firearms, and our veterans are inside As the backbone, those Tartars on the grassland are called cavalry, but they are usually herdsmen herding cattle and horses, how can they compare with those men in the merchant group who wield swords and guns all day long."

Everyone is talking happily, but few people think of one thing. Didn’t the Han people who used to do business on the grassland know that those people were greedy for money, why didn’t they dare to rob them? Instead, they felt aggrieved and bullied by others. Few people can figure it out, and Wang Tong will not challenge them.

After finishing talking about this topic, it was not too far away from the enemy line, but everyone didn't know what to say, and Wang Tong also felt a little anxious. He turned his head and gave a few words to the guards, who rode away immediately, but after a while, Sun Xin rushed back.

Sun Xin is now the head of the regiment, and he is still the burliest of all the generals, so the horses he rides are all big horses specially bought from the Western Regions.

"Sun Xin, my heart is not quiet. You always carry your flute with you. Play a tune for me!"

No one thought that Wang Tong said that Sun Xin could play the flute. This is something that everyone in the Tiger Mighty Martial Art Museum knows. Besides, when he was marching outside, Sun Xin specially made a copper flute. The price is not cheap. Many privileges.

Sun Xin and Li Hutou met Wang Tong in the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, and later served as personal guards. After so many years in the Huwei Army, it is rare to see Wang Tong behave like this. Wanting to listen to the flute play to calm the mind, surprise is nothing but surprise, but it's not a big deal, Sun Xin smiled, took out the flute from the bag, wiped it slightly, and started playing.

The sound of the flute was melodious, this method really worked, and Wang Tong’s a little restless mood calmed down. The army of tens of thousands of people was marching. down.

Slowly, the silence seemed to be contagious. During the march, only the sound of footsteps and drums remained, and the melodious flute echoed weakly but clearly in the queue.

Until the sharp trumpets sounded and the drums beat rapidly, the brigade stopped, and the battlefield arrived.

*******************
In this era, the army confronted each other in formation, usually about [-] paces, but in the Huwei army, it was [-] or even [-] paces, which was related to the range of the artillery.

The army stopped, and the artillery dragged by the horses began to move towards the emplacement. Sun Xin also stopped playing the flute, saluted Wang Tong immediately, and then returned to his team.

One by one, the messengers kept telling Wang Tong the news, and the cavalry did the same, but Wang Tong was looking at the battlefield in front of him. The battle had already begun. The battle is the prelude to the battle of the army, and it does not interfere with the battle situation. It is more similar to a display of personal skills. Cavalry and cavalry shoot with bows and arrows, or fight with swords and guns when they are close.

At this time, the generals of the Huwei Army did not force their subordinates to be silent, applauding the cavalrymen who were fighting was also a means of boosting morale.

In fact, the elite cavalry of each army did not suffer at all in this kind of fight. They are also selected strong soldiers, and their equipment is not inferior to the cavalry of the Huwei Army. However, these cavalry are in a border town with 10,000+ troops , there may be less than 2000 people, and those who can follow are the best of the best, of course they are strong.

The Jurchen cavalry did not take advantage, and were killed one by one. Some Ming army cavalry deliberately showed off in front of the army. When they saw the Jianzhou cavalry who turned their horses and fled, they stopped their mounts and drew their bows and arrows on the horse. Shooting the enemy and watching the Tartars in front fall from their horses will always get a bigger applause from their own side.

Dangdang gongs sounded, and the Jurchens were unwilling to be so demoralized, so they took back their own cavalry. Wang Tong smiled, and also sent an order:
"Let the cavalry go back to the team, let their commander give verbal rewards, and the commander will reward you with money!"

The messenger left, and the battlefield quickly became empty. Wang Tong was not in a hurry to start. The soldiers of the supply camp who accompanied the army built three watchtowers with wooden frames, and arranged them among the guards of the army. In such a plain terrain Below, the enemy's surprise attack is almost impossible.

The wooden building was erected here, and the watching soldiers had just climbed halfway, but they heard the sound of the horn on the opposite side. is completely obscuring the front
