Chapter nine hundred and sixty third shock

It is precisely because of the sufficient personal firearms and a large number of accompanying small artillery that the Hunting Cavalry Battalion maintains a sharp offensive style and offensive style. This is also the original intention of the military department to establish the Hunting Cavalry Battalion. The candidates selected are all the thorns of each unit, and most of them are violent and rebellious people.

It is strange that so many thorns gathered together, they actually maintained considerable military discipline and had a sudden outbreak of mobility and combat power that ordinary troops did not have. In terms of pure offensive methods and efficiency, the Lancer Battalion may not be the opponent of the Hunting Cavalry Battalion... After all, the Lancers are heavy armored cavalry, and most of their units are wearing breastplate and various armor accessories. The horses are also armed, one person, two horses or three horses, and they also have to follow the cavalry. In terms of mobility, the Lancers use the tactics of heavy armored cavalry to rush forward, so that the enemy can also have the willingness to fight to be effective. Otherwise, even if the Lancers find out that the enemy is, when they rush forward, the enemy has already fled in all directions, relying on the heavy armored cavalry to chase and annihilate the fugitive enemy, or burn, kill and loot in the enemy territory like the hunting cavalry... Even if the Lancers are tenacious, the same thing can be done, and they must have such ability.

At least in front of the dragon cavalry, the hunters all put on the face of an elite old soldier. This was called the dragon cavalry very unhappy. Including officers at all levels, they all felt that the hunters were too arrogant and inevitably felt dissatisfied.

"Shixiong, have a mission?"

When the two soldiers and horses intersected, Niu Qinzhong met Zhang Shixiong.

Zhang Shixiong was once a military officer. In terms of friendship, ordinary military officers could not compare. He saluted immediately and smiled and said, "It was the Military Command that directly ordered us, and we will go and execute it."

"Oh, then I won't ask more." Niu Qinzhong knew that the direct command of the Hunting Cavalry Battalion and the local marching departments were directly commanded, and it was not organized into the direct command sequence of the division. The division headquarters had a direct command of the Hunting Cavalry Battalion, but now there is no personnel or financial resources. The organization needs to be waited for a while. The original Hunting Cavalry Battalion was not expanded, but it was just a five company from the original three company guards, with a number of more than 800 people. In the battalion level units, the number of people was the most. Niu Qinzhong knew that this was the most important thing, and used the original Hunting Cavalry Battalion to directly lead out a large number of qualified officers and soldiers. However, the officers and soldiers selected later were definitely not as strong as the Hunting Cavalry Battalion at the beginning. This was also impossible. There are many people in the world who were difficult to achieve, and the military department could not find ways to recruit more horse bandits to join the Hunting Cavalry Battalion.

"Yes, my subordinates say goodbye." Zhang Shixiong didn't say much. The hunting cavalry officers around him almost all had the same temperament and appearance, tall body, broad shoulders, tough aura, and a rock-hard and cold face. Except for Zhang Shixiong, no one spoke up for greetings. In front of him, a group-level commander carrying a silver star on his shoulder passed by. These people turned a blind eye, just saluted him and was finished.

"A bunch of rude bastards." The chief officer of the Dragon Cavalry Regiment was quite angry and couldn't help but whisper: "These guys are so arrogant. They really think they are elites. They have nothing to do with fighting with dignified troops!"

Niu Qinzhong laughed and said, "The dispute between troops is inevitable, but don't hurt the friendly forces. Although they are not respectful enough, there is actually nothing to be picky about in terms of etiquette."

Everyone did not say anything. However, the young officers such as Zhang Yansheng and Lu Si couldn't help but feel a little envious. The firepower output of the hunting cavalry was really fierce, and the firepower below the company level should be the best in the merchant army.

Lu Si saw it clearly: a tall man with a yellowish complexion passed by himself proudly. He not only wore two long guns, but also four short guns at his waist, but also many throwing weapons... The hunting cavalry did not practice arrays or rushing methods, but mainly used firepower and throwing weapons to output killing. When facing the battle, they formed a formation to protect themselves. Then they used large-scale firepower to kill the enemy. If the enemy was too strong, they would retreat in a roundabout way, so they did not need strong armor, nor did they need to practice rushing.

In this case, the attack power of the hunting cavalry is really sharp, and the combat style is as fierce as the wind and extremely fierce. Naturally, it was the respectful look of Lu Si, who was born in the lancer.

The yellow-faced man seemed to feel Lu Si's gaze and grinned at him.

Lu Si nodded to the other party, the horses were moving slowly. In the river flowing in Gugu, the two armies quickly intersected and disappeared behind each other, leaving only the light of the fire that continued to flash, like a fire dragon winding forward.

...

He is mostly strong in his head, with more than 3,000 elite soldiers, most of whom are strong herders, all of whom are full of flesh and are very brave and fierce.

Needless to say, the masters of the archery skills are definitely very sharp. In terms of pure riding and shooting, the Mongols are actually much stronger than the Jurchens. The Jurchens are a nation of fishing and hunting. Although horse-riding is also their way of survival, there are also fishing and picking wild vegetables and dried fruits in the forest. The tribes have been farming all the time. Moreover, their horses are insufficient, and there is no way to ensure that everyone in the tribe can learn to ride horses since childhood. So far, 20 to 30% of the Eight Banners of the Jurchens go out for a walk every time, and there is no war horse with them. This is completely different from the situation where the Eight Banners galloped in battles and battles that later generations saw in films and TV dramas. The Mongols are different. They are nomadic peoples and truly belong to the nation on horseback. Whether it is riding and shooting skills or the degree of strength, they are far from comparable to the Han people.

The small pun castle in front has already ignited smoke. It is located in the jurisdiction of Jizhen Middle Road. It was originally the Duoyanwei area of ​​the three guards of Wurianha. Now the people of Kalaqin have moved westward. There are only green grass and yellow forests everywhere on the huge grassland. After passing through the buffer zone and seeing the mountains, you can see the long dragon-like side walls built against the mountains. Each hollow enemy platform is more or less guarded by the Ming army. However, seeing a large group of Mongolian cavalry coming, these enemy platforms are almost useless, but the mountains are steep. Many times, nomadic peoples, including the Jurchens who later entered the pass, still entered some important passes, because important passes are also intended.

It tastes like a dangerous place. Once it breaks through, it is easy to enter the plain area deep in Yanshan Mountains. Just like the front of Naomaoda and others is Panjiakou. Once it breaks through, you can quickly cross the Luan River and go straight to the Santunying of Jizhen, and then Zunhua, Changping, Yutian, Fengrun, Jizhou and other places are directly under the military front. During the Jiajing period, Gubeikou was broken through, and Panjiakou was also broken through by the Mongols. They were plundered everywhere in the capital. By the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji entered from Hongshankou, Longjing Pass, Da'ankou and others, and broke through to the hinterland of Jizhen, and captured many dangerous passes and cities. It can be seen that once the military was abandoned, these dangerous passes were useless and were just decorations.

The Great Wall and Dunbao Military Platform in front of him were both set up by Qi Jiguang when he was Prime Minister of Jizhen. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was shocked by the destruction of Panjiakou. Zhang Juzheng and others learned from the mistakes of the country. In addition to the management of the four towns including Changping and Qi Jiguang, they also allocated huge funds to repair and rebuild the Great Wall along Jizhen, and built a large number of military platforms and hollow enemy platforms that could place firearms and a large number of soldiers. Because Qi Jiguang was able to train troops, the border passes built were very strong and huge. After he guarded Jizhen, the Northern Barbarians had never invaded the territory by Jizhen for decades. Occasionally there were small-scale conflicts, and the Northern Barbarians suffered a lot, which was completely different from the situation in Liaozhen.

When the large number of Beilu cavalry advanced south, the fire road trough along the border wall of Panjiakou were lit one after another. Under the wolf smoke, the Beilu cavalry advanced wildly and rushed straight outside the pass before stopping.

The Dunbao in Panjiakou area was all martial law. Panjiakou was surrounded by troops, one general and three guerrillas, five or six guards gathered above or below the pass, and at the same time began to say goodbye to Changping and the capital.

Since the Jiajing period, the Northern Governor of Ji Liao was established, and the Governor of Ji Liao became one of the most important Governors of the Ming Dynasty. The area under his jurisdiction reached the boundary of the Great Wall in Datong Town in the west, to Liaodong in the east, and to Shuntian, Baoding and Liaodong in the east, which are the three major governors' defense areas in later Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Hebei and Tianjin, and most of the Liaoning provinces are under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Ji Liao. In fact, to Datong in the west, to Shanhai and Liaodong in the east, they are all in order to protect the capital. Ji Town is the most core defense area. The Governor of Ji Liao stationed in Jiemiyun in spring and summer, and to Jiechangping in autumn. When the war fires ignited, Wu Yongxian, the Governor of Ji Liao, who was in Changping, received the Tang report as soon as possible.

I believe that at the same time, Tangbao also quickly marched towards the capital area. Such a major event was not something that the governor of Ji Liao could do. Of course, he would report it to the Ministry of War and go directly to the front of the imperial court and listen to the heavens as soon as possible.

As for the Liaodong General Manager Sun Chengzong, his main territory was to close the door and add Jinzhou to Ningyuan. Of course, the relevant war zones were arranged by the governor of Tianjin and other parties, and Sun Chengzong was also responsible for the war zones. The millions of military pay a year were also assigned by Lao Suntou. It has great power, but the real jurisdiction was not large. It was not like when Yuan Chonghuan was the governor of Ji Liao, and he also set up the governor of Baoding, which weakened the power of Ji Liao. After Ji Liao was integrated, he faced the detour of the Later Jin Dynasty to enter the pass, and Ji Town became very weak again. In the end, the Later Jin soldiers captured many cities and besieged the capital, causing an extremely bad situation.

Within two days, not only did Jizhen shake, but Xuanfu, Datong, Liaozhen, and Tianjin, Shandong, and Denglai in the south were all shocked by the incident of the northern enemy's large-scale invasion into Panjiakou.

As the governor, Wu Yongxian could only lead the Supervisor to the front line and rushed to the Panjiakou area. At the same time, he ordered the front line to inquire about what the reason for the Beilu's large-scale invasion was. In addition, he found out whether the Beilu had continued to increase troops in large numbers, and he must be careful along the Great Wall. It is necessary to know that during the Jiajing period, Altan Khan first attacked other outlets on the west road. Taking advantage of the Ming army's large-scale reinforcement of the other outlets, he suddenly moved to Panjiakou, and then he broke into the mouth, and the army rushed in. It is important to know that many parts of the Great Wall were built on dangerous points.

Locality, this is also a unique geographical phenomenon on the dividing line between farming and nomadic peoples at that time. For example, there are many Gobi deserts or dangerous shoals in the north of the Great Wall in the west, or in the Hetao area. When it comes to the Hetao area, Shanxi, Hebei, Shaanxi, the Great Wall is mostly mountains and steep, and the same is true when it comes to Liaodong. The Great Wall is mostly buildings along the Hetao area of ​​the Liaohe River, and it is mostly steep and important places. Therefore, as long as the critical pass is guarded, it is difficult for the enemy cavalry to cross the Great Wall line. Even if there are not many guards, the cavalry still have to cross mountains and ridges and then climb walls, which is too small.
