Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Underestimating the enemy is not terrifying, terrifying is that now his cavalry has been beaten and feared, and there is no fighting spirit. With such a cavalry, it is so difficult to stabilize the military spirit and fight back. The only way to rush all the way to the Tatar camp is to hope that the other party will not chase too hard.

Sure enough, the light cavalry didn’t chase too far, and stopped after only six miles. It was the Tatar barracks ahead, and the opponent might mobilize cavalry to counterattack at any time. Although they were light cavalry, growing at speed and not worried about being overtaken, the meaningless disputes were no longer meaningful.

Qingqi retreats, the musket is closed, this time the trial ended with the mercenary victory. The results of the Statistics, a total of nearly two thousand horses, captured and injured more than a hundred enemies.

Not only was the first defeat defeated, but also General Mazamu was killed on the battlefield. This result spread to Hu Beier’s ears, causing anger. In the big tent, the book case was cut in two by a sharp saber, and roaring shouts rang out, “Mazamu, this General will avenge you.”

Ma Zhamu, there is no credit and hard work, but even when the army of Hu Beier first appeared, when there was a chance to show off his skills, he was killed. It is a pity that it is unavoidable to make people miserable. The morale in the Tatar camp was low for a while.

In order to break this bad atmosphere, Hu Bei’er’s roar was heard twice, “Where is General Qige? Has he not captured Dalu City?”

Answer Under the city of Lu, the flames of war stretched, countless ladders stood under the city, countless bows and arrows shot in the air, death, a matter of great importance to humans, seemed so worthless and ordinary here at this moment.

As early as when the iron cavalry launched a tentative attack on the mercenaries, the five thousand grassland infantry that Qige was carrying launched a fierce attack on Talu City.

It is said that the prairie horses are matchless in the world, and there are locusts swept past the places where they went, barren. But everyone does not know that the trained prairie infantry are also elite soldiers. Their existence was originally born for siege. Their Instructors are all brilliant generals with rich experience in siege operations.

The prairie cavalry relies on speed, and the Ming army’s defenders rely on the city wall. Each has its own advantages, which makes the strength of both sides tend to be balanced. Later, the Emperor Yongle of Ming’s Five Expeditions on the grassland opened the Ming army’s powerful iron cavalry road. After the Mongolian Erlang suffered many losses, they also began to draw on the advantages of the Ming army and built offensive infantry.

The greatest ability of people lies in learning and imitating. When the Emperor Yongle of Ming died, the Ming army’s iron cavalry advantage gradually lost, and under the rise and fall, Mongolia’s siege infantry grew up. Five thousand infantry at this time have this ability. Their Teachers are those Ming military prisoners who have breached the city. They are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. In order to survive, they just give skills, and few people can refuse.

Because of this, the Mongolian army siege of the city was coming on fiercely. As soon as it appeared, it hit the Northern Ming army first. The three thousand Northern Ming new army who was responsible for defending the city suffered heavy casualties and continued to cry. In the ears of General Ning Wenfeng who was introduced to the formation, he was not allowed to take a thousand veterans and three thousand new recruits back to the city to stabilize the battle.

On the battlefield, the biggest difference between recruits and veterans is their combat experience. Often experienced veterans know what to do without ordering. They are free to counterattack, shooting when they should do it, and avoiding when they should not.

Recruits are not. They are like a stone mill that weighs more than a thousand dollars. If you push him, he will go, and if you don’t push, it will be Motionless As Mountains. Such new recruits have been scared by Death Aura on the battlefield for the first time. How can they know what to do without ordering?

The recruits were defeated for the first time, the veterans went into battle, and the new and veterans supported each other. Ning Wenfeng’s command was able to be used. The Mongolian infantry who had rushed to the city were rushed back several times. At night, the offensive was temporarily over.

Inside the City Lord Mansion, the injured Furukawa is still resting on the bed, and Shi Wanshan, who has recovered more than half of his mental head, and the guard Court Eunuch, Deng Qiang is sitting in the hall and talking to a tired Ning Wenfeng.

“Deng Eunuch, commander, the loss in this battle is too great. The number of recruits killed in the battle was more than two thousand, and the wounded were two thousand. If this continues, I am afraid that the city will be difficult to defend, but not equal. To me, go back to Xuanfu, where the city wall is much taller and much easier to defend than Lucheng.” While complaining, while tentatively asking, Ning Wenfeng’s eyes were filled with hope.

“No.” Deng Qiang took the lead. “The two generals may not know. When Lucheng was given to Great Ming by the Duke of Zhongdan, everyone in the Imperial Court clapped and cheered, and the people of the capital also left. On the streets, firecrackers blasted to celebrate. Everyone took them back to Lucheng as a sign of the rise of my Northern Ming. How can I give up at this moment? If I do this, I’m afraid I won’t need others, just It is the memorials of the officials in the Imperial Court that can crush me for a few lives.”

When Deng Qiang’s words fell, he originally wanted to talk and so on Shi Wanshan quickly shut up. . If this is the case, the answer to Lucheng must be lost. Otherwise, it would be the end of their politics and life. At that time, even if they had great ambitions, they would have nothing to do.

“Hold on for a while. If it doesn’t work, we will transfer all the remaining new and veteran soldiers in Xuan’s Mansion. As long as we put on a stand-alone stand, let the Tatar army be fierce, they will also Retire in the face of difficulties.” Shi Wanshan felt a lot of comfort when he thought of a powerful mercenary outside the city.

Ning Wenfeng is just a trial and asking, even if the method is unavoidable, it is not considered. Regarding the mobilization of Xuanfu’s soldiers, he hesitated for a while and said: “Maybe it can only be so, otherwise, with the more than two thousand veterans in the city, five thousand new recruits may not last long.”

“Okay, then transfer troops from Xuan Mansion, first transfer 500 veterans and 10,000 recruits.” Deng Qiang finally made a final decision. At this point, there are only five hundred veterans and ten thousand recruits in Xuanfu, which will be their last strength.

I made great efforts and suffered heavy losses. In the end, I didn’t get anything. I still had to defend Lucheng, and even the original veteran’s capital was almost gone. I have to say, this time really did it. A loss of money. This result left Shi Wanshan and the three of them silent for a long time, and they seemed to lose their interest in talking.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the Tatar army barracks is much better than in the afternoon. Qige had already reported the damage to the battle. During the daytime, he attacked the city and killed more than a thousand soldiers and wounded more than a thousand soldiers. Only one night’s rest is required, and more than half of the war will participate tomorrow. In contrast, the number of Northern Ming defenders killed and wounded exceeded 4,000, which was twice as many as already.

As everyone knows, during a siege war, the siege party will often suffer. It is generally recognized that if you want to siege, you must have at least three times or more power than the other party. Try. The result at this time was exactly the opposite. The loss of defending the city was more than double that of the siege. Although the city did not account for it, it was not a small victory.

Hubeier’s face looked much better, and she encouraged her with a few words, saying that he will continue to attack the city tomorrow, striving to win Dalu City, and also find a safe place for the army . To his words, his style is naturally nodded.

Compared with the order to continue the onslaught on the Northern Ming Army, Hu Beier’s attitude towards the mercenaries was a little uncertain. In today’s battle, he finally got a deeper understanding of the mercenary’s battle strength. While regretting not listening to Mu Ren’s words, he also made the decision to follow the other party’s suggestions. After taking down Dalu, after having a place to stay, I am slowly drawing on it.

But in order to prevent the recurrence of the daytime events, at night, Hu Beier called another General Hu Lin, and told him to prevent the hired army from stealing the camp before going to sleep.

Facts have proved that Hu Beier’s worries are completely unnecessary. The mercenaries who had won a battle during the day were sleeping peacefully in their barracks. For them, the daytime battle is inevitable. It is a temptation for both sides, even if there is no tomorrow today.

Once the trial is complete and knowing that you don’t to be trifled with, the Tatar army will surely have a lot of peace, so that the mercenaries can sleep peacefully. Of course, there are still troops on duty at night. Some things are not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

From black to light, a new day arrives and Hu Mang raises his account. The following divisions and heads have come out to fight. Hu Mang didn’t say a word about this, but hehe laughed towards the deputy commander on the side. Farewell was also a smile and then opened the mouth and said: “Today the whole army rests and cleans the sanitation around the camp. If you have spare time, all divisions and regiments can practice on their own.”

Do not initiate an attack. This is the result of discussions between Hu Mang and Farewell last night. It’s not a one-on-one time, either you will die or i will die, even if there are three parties, if possible, of course, it will be more profitable to watch tigers fight on a mountain.

Look at the Northern Ming Army and the Tatar Army at the expense of each other, what’s wrong with it?

The words of farewell represent the meaning of the military headquarters of the new army. At the moment, other divisions and regiment leaders retreat in anguish, each busy. Hu Mang also informed the Sixth Young Master of his decision to leave and let him go, and he was there to watch the situation change.

Tatar army barracks, the scouts released Bali, just before reaching the mercenary camp, then stopped. After that, he attacked Dalu City with all his strength, vowing to never give up without taking this city. In this regard, the Northern Ming Army chose to defend the city with all its strength. They commanded Shi Wanshan to board the gate tower personally, replaced the commander Ning Wenfeng and defended, preventing the Tatar army from attacking the city again and again. It was only one day. After that, both parties suffered considerable losses.

Fortunately that evening, the five hundred veterans of Xuancheng and ten thousand new troops came to help, which was considered to have temporarily stabilized the situation. If not, it would be extremely difficult to defend the city on the 2nd day.

In Sicheng, Yang Chendong just glanced at the telegram sent by Hu Mang and then set it aside. The New First Army has Hu Mang, who has gradually stabilized, and the wise who left to lead. He doesn’t need to worry about anything. His eyes are more on the construction of Sicheng, and he put forward some very constructive suggestions.
