Chapter 688 Spears
"No!" Toboke said decisively: "Silver ingots are not qualified, Zhang Han will not be so confused!"
Toboke saw Acheng and Tabuna killed Bu Shitu Khan with their own eyes. In fear, he led his troops to escape. Later, the news of Acheng killing Khan spread throughout the desert, the northern and northern Mongolians. Xi Lingse was also greatly damaged by Toboke. Originally, Acheng retained considerable strength, but after Xi Lingse suffered a crushing defeat, he gathered a lot of defeated soldiers. Later, Acheng's killing of the Khan was exposed, and he was assassinated by Tabuna, and the forces following Acheng immediately disappeared.
But people did not follow Xi Lingse. Taiji, who is now in charge of left and right whistle, is equivalent to a Khan. But he is not a Khan after all. He has noble bloodline but no ability. Although Altan Khan's descendants are all the same, Bu Shitu Khan did not suffer as badly as Xi Lingse. Moreover, the Khan has passed away. Many Taiji who are loyal to Bu Shitu Khan gathered together again. After Toboke came back, the group of people formed a group to fight against Xi Lingse's forces.
In addition to Toboke and Xi Lingse, there are also many Taiwanese and Ji who are not helpful and have a neutral attitude.
This situation is equivalent to internal division. If there is not a strong foreign enemy, there should be a civil war below until one side wins. However, because of the existence of Heyusheng, both Toboke and Xi Lingse chose to forbear... In addition, they did not receive the support of most of the Taijiji. Even if they really fought, it would be a large-scale civil war. Of course, most Taijiji chose to watch the fun, which made both sides not have the spirit to fight. If they win, it would not necessarily convince the whole tribe. It would be better to have less trouble than more things.
"Taiji, it's not good!" As everyone was talking, a shepherd rushed into the tent and reported loudly: "The Shang army is coming!"
On the grassland, He Yusheng is no longer regarded as an ordinary business, but as a hostile force, and even its strength is above the Ming Dynasty. As for the name of the Shang regiment, it is also officially called the Shang army, and no matter which faction of Mongolian forces it is, it is the same.
"What?" Tobok stuffed a mouthful of mutton, and stood up suddenly. He shouted, "What does Zhang Han mean? Why don't you go to attack Xi Lingse, but you will attack us first?"
"No, Taiji." The shepherd said: "The Shang army came from the southwest, whether it was the condom, we or the people of Xilingse Taiji, they would kill people when they saw them, burn them when they saw felt bags, and rob them when they saw herds."
The shepherd cried and said, "Those Shang soldiers are too cruel and too savage..."
"Zhou Yao!"
Everyone stood up, and everyone's face looked ugly.
Toboke had a bad temper at first, and then he said angrily: "This damn Han man, his hands are covered with the blood of our Mongolians. It would be fine if the soldiers fought. He only killed people and took the weakest places to attack. It would be damn."
"Notify Xi Lingse." A Taiji said: "Please ask him to raise troops with Batu, Baiyin and others. You can't ask Zhou Yao to do the same thing as last year."
Last year, because the Mongols gathered a large army to attack Jining Fort, the defense and defense in various places were very empty. As a result, Zhou Yao caught the loophole and fought out a world from a cavalry composed of hundreds of horse thieves. Later, they were equipped with new iron armor and became an iron cavalry with extremely strong combat power. Zhang Han trained them with the new cavalry technique developed by Europe in the next two hundred years, which greatly improved the combat power of Zhou Yao's troops. Later, they added cavalry officers and cavalry. Now Zhou Yao's troops have developed to a total of more than 3,000 people in a regiment. The Mongols don't know much, but they understand that these cavalry are not easy to mess with. The attitude of this Taiji just now was very obvious: against the enemy alone, these Taiji were no longer sure!
Toboke pinched his knuckles until his knuckles turned white. The five or six Taiji present could gather at least 30,000 herdsmen, and there were more than 3,000 armored people. However, they no longer dared to fight against the Ming cavalry of 3,000 people. This was a very hurtful attitude of self-esteem and no dignity. However, Toboke was even more angry and suddenly realized that his thoughts were the same as those useless wastes in front of him!
"Send someone to Qingcheng." Toboke sat down dejectedly, and then raised his head and said: "Come cavalry as soon as possible. Even if you give Zhou Yao some threats, you can't let them burn, kill, loot at will."
...
"Send the 9th and 10th companies of the third brigade to meet the enemy." Zhou Yao rode on the horse and ordered very calmly.
A large group of cavalry appeared on the horizon, and there were raging fires burning in front of them. Large areas of felt bags were ignited by the cavalry with torches. There were corpses everywhere on the ground. Some cattle, sheep and horses were also innocently affected in the slaughter just now. People did not pay attention to those corpses, but instead looked at the corpses of cattle, sheep and horses and felt sorry for them. This mentality was actually a bit pathological, but it felt very normal to make people in the army.
There are more felt bags and cattle and sheep farther away. Many herders are running around, and children, women and the elderly are also busy. The cattle and sheep and horses are running around, and they will not be able to clean up for a while.
The head is blue sky and white clouds, and the bottom of the feet is green grass like a blanket, and there is no edge at all.
Under such a beautiful scenery, people think of killing!
A person who is slaughtered may have no burden for killing people, but he may love war horses very much. He will feel sad when he sees the war horses killed and injured, and may even be furious.
Zhou Yao gives people the feeling that this is such a person. His face has no expression, either there is no emotional fluctuation or cruelty has penetrated into his bones.
"Regiment command," a staff officer said to Zhou Yao with courage: "More than 80% of the Ninth Company and the Tenth Company are recruits, and most of the officers have joined the cavalry soon."
Zhou Yao turned his head and looked at the officer. He was not angry, nor did he want to do anything to the officer. But the young man immediately turned his head and did not dare to look at him.
Zhou Yao was very satisfied with this effect... He may not be proud of cruelty in his heart, and he is not a cruel person who is easy to kill, but now he has been labeled this, and the effect is very good. Both Beilu and his own people are afraid of him... In fact, this is the image created by Zhang Han for him. Zhou Yao knew that the above request was like this, and he must also maintain such an image.
"The Ming Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians fought for more than two hundred years. I don't know how many Han people died in battle on the battlefield. The courage and blood were made, not trained. How many ancestors died in order to maintain their territory? Today, we and Yusheng's new army sacrificed their lives to attack the enemy?" Zhou Yao said with a plain attitude: "After a hundred battles, those who survived are the elites."
...
Lu Si, also known as Lu Da, rode on the war horse and stared at the front.
About two or three thousand Beilu cavalry were wandering for miles ahead, and they just saw how the Shang army reacted. If the army attacked, they would run away from home. With the cavalry of the Beilu, they would just run away. If there was no suitable battlefield or a pre-ambush encirclement, such as a battlefield like Xilingse Zhongfu, it would be very difficult to cover them, and there would be almost no chance.
If the army ignores it, they will get closer and closer and affect the army's movement.
If these rangers gather too much, there may be thousands of cavalry, which will seriously affect the army's logistics supply route... The cavalry is different from people's imagination, but in fact, the requirements for supply are higher. Simply attacking and not taking supplies will be heavy losses, including the losses of personnel and war horses, which will be unimaginable.
The regiment commander responded to the response to the cavalry of two companies that sent out cavalry to meet the enemy, with a number of almost more than 300, about one-tenth of the Northern Territory.
This number is the psychological bottom line of the Beilu daring to fight.
If three companies or more people were sent out, the Beilu would definitely flee.
The cavalry lined up in two shaped phalanxes, and the two companies were closely linked together. The entire company was arranged in squadrons, and each squadron had more than 50 people lined up horizontally.
Lu Si's breathing began to become heavy. He officially joined the combat ranks from the baggage army before the New Year. After more than two months of rigorous infantry training, he applied to transfer to the cavalry. After nearly two months of cavalry training, he was finally assigned to the cavalry company of the First Lancer Regiment.
The Lancers, also the Iron Cavalry of the Beilu Institute, were assigned to this famous meritorious cavalry regiment, and they also rely on Lu Sicong to ride horses and have a deeper riding foundation... This is also a unique situation in the border areas like Datong. If the mainland prefectures were changed, the poor peasant children might not have seen the appearance of war horses. The most common ones were donkeys and mules. There were not many horses in the mainland, and there were no chances to learn riding horses from the moment they had.
The sound of the trumpet finally sounded. The Beilu on the opposite side seemed to be determined to protect this pasture. This is the place north of Pianguan, which belongs to the extension of the Hetao area. According to the later generations, this is the back set, and a few hundred miles eastward is the front set, and then to the south is the Datong Basin and Xinding Basin and Taiyuan Basin. From here to the southwest is the Ordos Plateau, and then continue to the west is the west set. The place where the First Lancer Regiment of the Lancers was fighting was the south of Qingcheng, and it was a little westward. This is the ranch of Taiji such as Toboke. There are also some herder tribes of the herdsmen grazing here. They did not expect that the First Lancer Regiment of the Lancers would attack here quickly and come fiercely.
The brief peace confuses many people, and when a violent blow comes, their psychology is more likely to collapse.
Lu Si saw the squadron leader on the far right side of him lifting his rifle diagonally, and gently whipped forward with a flag.
The copper whistle of the same rhythm sounded almost at the same time. The company commanders and squadron leaders in the team issued orders together. At this time, the sergeant commanders at all levels also began to shout loudly and order to maintain their formation. Most of the cavalry were recruits, not only to look at the flags and guns and listen to the whistle, but also to scold from superiors.
"Lu Si, rush around, pay attention to the formation of left and right sides, and keep a distance from his comrades at any time." Lu Si's left hand was the Sergeant Elder Zhong, who was in his thirties. After finishing his words, he grinned and showed a mouthful of incomplete yellow teeth.
In the past, when Lu Si saw this yellow teeth, he always subconsciously felt disgusted. The poor children generally had bad teeth, but the teeth were so bad that they were still a few of them.
I just can't figure out how to avoid the word Da Rong, it means God!!!!
