The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

At that time, the composition of the national army was more complicated than that of the late Ming Dynasty.

To paraphrase it as "this is a specific product of a particular situation.".

But at this time, the southern part of Liaoning Province, especially the military academy, was obviously not so complicated.

After a brief exchange of a few words with Chen Zhong, Li Yuanqing quickly decided on the main combat plan, which was the eastern line plan proposed by Chen Changyou, the seventh commander in chief.

Compared with other schemes, the biggest advantage of this scheme is its practicability.

After all, the expedition was not to fight a hard battle, but to fight against the main force of the Houjin army. It was to demonstrate, to show off force, and to make Houjin feel the powerful force of the Ming army.

In this way, Li Yuanqing should first consider how to avoid casualties.

Compared with the plan of the west line and the middle line, because of the fierce fighting all year round, there are many soldiers and generals of Zhang pan, Chen liangce, and they are very familiar with the terrain of Laozhai line.

Moreover, compared with the hinterland of Liaozhong plain, the Laozhai line in the east line actually belongs to the wild land which has not yet been fully civilized.

At that time, this area was better under the rule of Daming. Over the past decade, as it fell into the hands of the later Jin Dynasty, especially after the main force of the latter Jin Dynasty conquered the plump hinterland of Shenyang and Liaoyang, the eastern line gradually fell to the inferior.

In particular, in recent years, Mao Wenlong always keeps an eye on the old village, and he may come to the village sometime. This also makes the army of the later Jin Dynasty very tired. It is not a good land and it is difficult to cultivate.

Because if you farm, you can't be a real slave owner. You can only rely on the Han Army flag. However, once Mao Wenlong fights, some Han Army flag soldiers who are picky about the outside will have to switch. Once and twice, it's not worth the loss.

This makes the eastern region become very chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to abandon it.

Frankly speaking, persimmon ~, or pick soft to pinch.

If Li Yuanqing went to the Liaozhong plain, even if he could get some harvest, it would be very difficult or even impossible to break the city. In this way, relatively speaking, it is natural to conquer the old village and create a trend, which has a greater political impact.

The plan was finalized, and the rest was to implement it.

When the generals came back from dinner, Chen Zhong immediately read out the plan, praised Chen Changyou and the seventh commander in chief, and announced that the whole army still had one day to prepare for the battle tomorrow evening!

Military orders are like a mountain.

After more than three months of military academy study, these generals did not dare to have a moment of neglect, and went back to clean up and prepare.

Li Yuanqing smiles and arranges Yang miaocai into a small dormitory next to his and Chen Zhong's dormitory, "brother miaocai. Children go out to war, not at home. In particular, children are rough people. In terms of living habits, brother miaocai should make more psychological preparations. If you have any need, please ask me as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, wait a minute. I'll send you a good pair of armour. "

Looking at Li Yuanqing about to leave, Yang miaocai said, "Li Shuai, wait, wait."

"Well?" Li Yuanqing smiles and looks back at Yang miaocai.

"Er..."

Seeing Li Yuanqing look back, Yang miaocai was speechless and said, "Li Shuai, you can go to work. I'm here. If there's any need, I'll trouble you again. "

Li Yuanqing smiles and pats Yang miaocai on the shoulder. "Brother miaocai, don't be nervous. In fact, Tartars. That's what happened

Watching Li Yuanqing's tall figure leave, Yang miaocai can't help but take a long breath.

Until now, he has not adapted to the rhythm.

He really couldn't accept it. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong decided that they would go to war tomorrow or in the evening?

In his subconscious mind, if the army went out, how could he not make careful preparations for a year or at least half a year.

Why, how come to Li Yuanqing here? It's such a simple sentence. It's just like having a casual meal

Soon, Niu Gensheng, the leader of Li Yuanqing's army, personally sent a pair of good armour to Yang miaocai.

The two exchanged greetings. Niu Gensheng was about to leave, but Yang miaocai was busy holding him. Some of them were embarrassed and asked, "Niu, Niu, how should I wear this armour?"

Niu Gensheng was stunned. After a moment, he responded and explained with a smile: "Mr. Yang, it's a piece of armour, but it's actually two pieces of armour. A layer of soft leather armour is a lining. Wearing it can not only protect the wind and cold, but also protect the chest against the cold arrows of Tartars. The outer layer is hard leather armor. You see, the front of this one is a pair of goggles. The elbows, shoulders and wrists are protected by iron. They are very strong. With such a good armour on your body, as long as it is not too lucky, the Tartar's arrows will not hurt your life. "

Niu Gensheng has explained it in detail, but Yang miaocai is still a little worried. He asks quickly, "brother Niu, is this armour worn in battle, or should I wear it in peacetime?"

Niu Gensheng said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, when we go out on the expedition, we may encounter Tartars. It's better to wear them all the time. The armour given to you by the general is a good one for generals above guerrilla level in our Changsheng camp. It's very light. It's only about 20 kilograms. It won't get in the way of wearing it. "The ox root is gone.

After a long time, Yang miaocai regained his consciousness and began to examine this a carefully.

Unlike ordinary literati, who only know how to do their homework with eight part essay, Yang miaocai has studied extensively and has been fighting for five or six years at the grass-roots level. He is not a bookworm, let alone a gusher who only knows how to eat, drink and play.

He still has some knowledge about soldier armour.

This inner armor is very soft, but if you feel it carefully, you can feel it. It is very thick. Although the workmanship is not very exquisite, you can see that the stitches on it are quite strong.

Yang miaocai couldn't guess what the inner armor was, but he was sure that it was much better than many so-called good armours he had seen in the capital before.

This is not to say that the workmanship is excellent, but the material is excellent.

"Is it hard to bear skin?"

Yang miaocai suddenly became smart.

If, if you use bear skin to make armour, you can imagine what kind of financial resources it will cost. Li Yuanqing

Yang miaocai didn't dare to think about it any more, so he dressed the inner armor carefully.

Unfortunately, although the inner armor fits very well and doesn't feel heavy when it feels, it's really worn by Yang miaocai. He finds that his body is not strong.

He tried the hard leather armour on the outside. At that time, Yang miaocai felt a large piece of lead on his body. Did he have to wear so strong that he could ride a horse again?

Yang miaocai felt like crying for a moment. It seems that it is really not easy to fight a war. I don't know how Li Yuanqing did it.

I'm afraid that Li Yuanqing will not get a chance to kneel down, even if he can't get a chance to kneel down.

"That's all. It's just a big scar on my head. I don't believe in Yang miaocai. I've been through so many hard years. Can't I get through this? Anyway, I don't have to go to the battlefield. I just need to stay close to Li Yuanqing. "

…………

Although in the past, the preparation of logistics materials has begun to go on track, but the needs of each officer are still somewhat different.

If someone is good at firearms, he needs more ammunition, flint and fire clasp.

Some people like to use cold weapons, it is necessary to prepare a few more daggers, knives, in case of unexpected needs.

Especially for hand grenade and explosive bag, Li Yuanqing has to check it in person before he can rest assured.

So is Chen Zhong.

However, at this time, the explosive bag is a "general goods" in southern Liaoning, but the hand grenade is still Li Yuanqing's "unique secret skill", which has not been made public.

Chen Zhong knows something, but he doesn't know the details. He just knows that it's easy to use, but the cost may be very high.

This is not Li Yuanqing's deliberate concealment.

However, as a leader, Changsheng camp always needs to keep some unique skills.

Time soon arrived, and the next evening all the preparations were in place.

On the broad field, 900 generals and more than 3000 horses have been arrayed.

No flowers, no applause, no farewell.

In front of the battle line, Li Yuanqing turned over and mounted his horse. With a big hand, he said, "let's go."

"Daming Wansheng! General Wan Sheng

Almost without thinking, the young men quickly followed the horses of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong and walked towards the entrance of the military academy.

Yang miaocai did not dare to neglect him. He quickly grasped the reins of the horse and quickly followed him up.

Galloping on the horse is much faster than using the "11" road. When the sky is going to be dark, one hour is more. The raiding team has already run out of nearly 30 Li and arrived at a clear stream.

Li Yuanqing took the lead in stopping his horse to drink water and eat grass.

After that, a group of horses stopped to have a rest and take care of the horses.

On this trip, in addition to the 900 military academy generals, there were nearly 200 auxiliary soldiers accompanying.

It includes more than 30 cooks, more than a dozen military doctors, 50 pitchers, and more than 100 sentries selected by Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong from various departments.

Such as cooking, camping, including medical care, these generals can do it themselves, but ~ ~ ~, except for the generals who don't accept their parents for a few nights, others are obviously not very good at professional investigation.

If there is no elite sentry, the safety of the whole army will not be guaranteed. This is also a minor mistake made by Li Yuanqing in this assessment.

In terms of officers, except for Huang Guoshan's left behind military academy, the rest of them, including Duan Xiliang and Kong Youde, were all accompanying the army.

It's getting dark in the twinkling of an eye. Chen Zhong said to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "Yuanqing, tonight, are we going to camp here, or catch up with dozens of miles?"

Li Yuanqing laughed: "brother, the first day of the war, we don't have to rush. Let's camp here. Let the boys get used to the rhythm, and let the horses get used to it. "Chen Zhong nodded with a smile. I'm going to arrange camp and food. "

Soon, some officers began to gather firewood around, some began to camp, some took care of the horses, some were in charge of guarding, and soon everything became orderly.

This trip, because it was a surprise attack, was riding fast all the way. There was no woman in the whole camp.

In terms of camp, they all live in big tents and are easy to carry.

Even Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong will never engage in privilege.

At this time, Chen Zhong played the role of deputy to Li Yuanqing, coordinating and directing the encampment. Li Yuanqing was standing by the stream, watching more than a dozen horses drinking water and eating grass, and taking care of his thoughts to plan the next journey.

Not far away, Yang miaocai is also carefully feeding his horses to drink water.

Although it was his first time, he was not stupid.

He knew very well that in this kind of raid, the horse was his most important weapon to protect his life. He did not dare to neglect the horse in his crotch.

At this time, seeing Li Yuanqing's eyes, Yang miaocai was busy smiling and quickly walked towards Li Yuanqing, "Li Shuai."

Li Yuanqing looked at Yang miaocai with a smile and said with a smile, "how about it? Are you still used to it? "

Yang miaocai laughed and said, "how are you. It's just that I'm still a little nervous. "

"Ha ha."

Li Yuanqing smiles: "brother miaocai, relax. In fact, it is the same as visiting relatives. However, this poor relative is not only a little far away, but also a little fierce. "

"Eh?"

Yang miaocai never thought that Li Yuanqing would describe it like this. He was stunned for a moment.
