Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Yang Er said that the battle strength of the logistics team can reach level C, which is considered good. With a little training, it will not be a problem to deal with ordinary enemies.

For this answer, Yang Chendong is still satisfied, at least he is nodded, “Okay, I have worked hard recently. Train these five thousand people to get one step closer. Young Master is very useful.”

“Understood.” Yang Er was nodded, very eagerly gearing up, and then he leaned forward, “Young Master, about how long?”

” It should be almost half a month in about twenty days.” Yang Chendong replied without pause. Obviously in his eyes, the civil war of the Mongolian tribe in Mobei should begin within this prescribed time. He wants these people to be ready to serve as back-up soldiers to get in the way.

“Yes.” Yang Er received the military order, and he hurried out of Yang Residence. Yang Chendong who was left behind said to Yang Si: “The telegram informs Hu Mang that you can do it in Lucheng. If it can’t be taken within the specified time, Lord This Young Master will not blame him, but if the soldiers are sent to Mobei, it has nothing to do with him.”

Yang Chendong not at all Put hope in With these five thousand soldiers, they were just to make up for the losses of the New Army after the Great War, and his idea was still placed on Hu Mang.

“Okay.” Yang Si nodded, then retired. And just half an hour later, Chen Bing received this telegram from Commander Hu Mang outside the city of Lu, and his eyes were wide open. “Come on, call the deputy commander and all the divisions and regiments to hold a combat meeting.”

In the city of Lu, I didn’t know that the war was about to begin, and Hu Bei’er was also fighting. Several generals under his staff discussed matters together.

The army captured the city of Dalu as expected, and it was considered a place to rest, but as the commander-in-chief, there was not a trace of relaxation on Hu Bei’er’s face. The Xuan Mansion’s attack for a long time without any success, the loss of soldiers, and the shortage of food and grass, are all urgent problems that must be solved, and they are also a heavy burden on his heart.

“No, we must find a way to get out of the city. At least we must open a passage that belongs to ourselves. Otherwise, if we don’t need others to attack, we will be in chaos. If we send out mercenaries, all generals Who wants to take the lead?”

Hubeier’s voice came. After hearing about it, the three generals, Gaoer, Hu Lin, and Mu Ren in the lobby, all lowered in unison. They are not brave, nor are they greedy for life and fear of death, but facing the continuous firearms in the hands of mercenaries, there is really no certainty of winning. A reckless impact will only give away that’s all.

The three generals all bowed their heads and said nothing, but this was annoyed by Hu Beier who was seated in the first place, “What? Do you want this General to charge yourself?”

“No, it’s not…” The three generals quickly denied, and then each prepared to speak, but before they thought they wanted to say something and so on, a loud bang suddenly came out, and then there was a burst of noise. The earth shook and the mountain quivered, it feels like the end is coming.

“What’s the matter? Could it be that the Earth Dragon was born (earthquake).” Hu Weier asked with an ugly face, trying to stand still.

The other three generals are also pale. If that is the case, they are too dangerous to stay in the city. Who knows if the stone above their heads will fall. If so, I am afraid Before the battle is fought, the army will be defeated.

“Report!” Just as the generals were still speculating, there was already a messenger running in outside the door, “General, general, the major event is not good, the mercenaries started to attack the city. Just now, two of their artillery pieces fell on the city gate, and a hole was opened there. Fortunately, the brothers responded quickly and fired a volley of bows and arrows, which shot them back again.”

” Artillery? Siege!” Hearing these words, Hu Beier quickly figured out what, and immediately said: “Go, I will follow this General to take a look.”

Outside of Lucheng, The first siege troops retreated with a hard and broken siege. There is no other way. The arrows of these Tatars are very accurate. Although the city gate was opened, after a salvo of bows and arrows, the army was repelled.

“Ai, there are still too few artillery shells. If you can blast enough at a time, the Tatar army is a fart?” Independent division commander Xin Honghai said with a sigh.

“Yes, if everyone uses artillery, what are we? What are the cavalry?” The commander of the heavy cavalry regiment replied. In his opinion, guns and artillery are only an auxiliary means. Ultimately, the victory depends on the impact of the cavalry. Otherwise, why build a cavalry unit with a lot of money.

“Okay, the disadvantage of this first battle was originally expected by my deputy commander. Blasting the opponent’s city gate is telling them that we are going to do it next.” Hu Mang He stood up, looked towards the officer below, and then said: “Everyone, go back and rest, and set up tomorrow. Now that everyone must say the importance of cavalry, I will show you the battle tomorrow. But remember, if someone drops the chain for me, don’t blame me for coming back and picking him up.”

“The commander can rest assured, tomorrow will see our performance.” The officers finally waited until the war began. The news came, and everyone was talking excitedly. Then they went to prepare, and when there were only the commander and the deputy commander left in the big tent, she did not ask aloud, “Commander, are we really running out of shells?”

“It’s not too much. Even if it’s full, there will be ten cannonballs left. In the future, you must not use it at will.” Hu Mang nodded answered seriously.

“Is there no more in Sicheng?” She couldn’t help but asked curiously.

“No more. The shells are all shipped from Chihkan City, and the cost is too high. Because of its dangerousness, it will not be transported too much at one time. With the conditions of the city, it is impossible to make shells at all. . Sixth Young Master said it when all this came.” Hu Mang explained patiently. But he always had a feeling that there should still be artillery shells in stock in Sicheng’s logistics regiment, but Yang Er’s youngster didn’t give it to himself that’s all.

It shouldn’t be Yang Er, but Sixth Young Master. This should be because they are afraid that they rely too much on the artillery, so that they will cut off the training of the cavalry. He also agrees to this point. After all, there is a cost calculation for a war. One artillery shell requires too much manpower and material resources. If it is only put in this kind of war, I am afraid that a few hundred pieces may not be enough. If this battle continues, even if Chihkan City’s commerce is developed, there will be times when it may not be able to hold on.

Don’t know so many confidential things. But he still figured out a truth, that is, in the next war, you should not rely too much on the artillery, and even if the musket is not absolutely necessary, it is better to save a little. The fact that their new army can win the battle is not just relying on these external forces, but having this strength itself.

“It’s okay, then the cavalry will be hedged. Our soldiers eat well, wear well, weapons, spirits, and rewards. As long as the soldiers die, then There is no enemy you can’t beat.” Saying goodbye to self-purge.

“That’s the reason.” Hu Mang was also heavily nodded. This time he didn’t need artillery, so he could use cavalry to defeat the Tatar army, which started from cavalry, and then let the steppes know that now The sky has changed.

A declaration of war was shot into the gate tower of Dalu City, and soon this letter appeared in front of Hu Beier. General Hu Bair, who had read the letter, suddenly raised his head and laughed, “Haha, really overestimate one’s capabilities. If you use artillery and muskets, we will still be afraid of you, but if you only compete with cavalry, then I will let you See and see, who is the hero of the prairie. Come, order, let the army rest tonight, and fight tomorrow.”

The letter is naturally the challenge letter. It is clearly stated above that a mountain cannot accommodate Erhu. In order to prove who is the overlord on the grassland, the mercenaries are willing to put away their artillery and muskets and use the cavalry to counteract the victory. I hope that the Tatar army will not be doing coward. If not, the artillery will fall into the city of Dalu at any time, so don’t say that they didn’t give a chance and bully people.

The Tatar army is afraid of mercenaries, but what they are afraid of is the firearms of the other side. If these are not used, why not have them. At the moment, the other generals also called for battle after seeing it. Seeing that, it was obvious that they wanted to show their skills.

“Okay, tomorrow, General Gore will take the lead and give you 10,000 cavalry. You have to behave well and let the mercenaries know how powerful our Tatar cavalry is, hahaha.” Hu Yier laughed in a good mood Thunderously resounded throughout the lobby.

On this evening, both armies entered a state of rest very early. It is that the mercenaries did not even do the exercises for the evening class, everyone is holding back their energy, waiting for tomorrow’s performance.

In the morning of the next day, the sky was beautiful, ten thousand li cloudless, and under the clear sky, the two sides were on the battlefield in Bali and began to deploy troops.

Ten thousand Tatar cavalry came out of Talu City, with a thousand as a unit, placed ten formations, and stood opposite the mercenary who had set up the formation first.

On the side of the mercenaries, there is still a long snake formation. Looking from a distance, the color of army green gives people a feeling of overwhelming.

Compared to the previous two times, the cavalry fighters who were no longer in the front line of the new regiment have been replaced by Tatar fighters. Fighting with Tatar, this is what Commander Hu Mang meant. In his words to Commander Su He, this battle was their chance to prove themselves.

Although they are all Tatar cavalry, they do not actually belong to one line. Su He was originally Akbarjin’s subordinate, and Hu Beier belonged to Taisun Khan’s. Normally, everyone has a lot of suspicions, and it’s a matter of time to face each other. Now it’s just Hu Mang who has created opportunities for them.
