The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 106
The sound of the horn is continuous and the sound of the horn is undulating.

In the blink of an eye, the Sanshan Barracks was in full swing.

The rapid drumbeat echoed continuously in the three mountain camps, and groups of rogue armored soldiers quickly swarmed towards the outer camp walls along the aisles reserved between the camps.

The horse neighed resoundingly, and the hooves of the horses sounded hurriedly. The rogue Jingqi in iron armor had already mounted their respective horses, and followed the team's banner quickly.

Li Yangchun stepped out of the camp holding the Yanling Saber on his waist.

Behind him, Lin Shengquan and Li Guo followed closely behind with a group of generals under Li Yangchun's command.

Then a group of Jingqi guarding outside the camp saw Li Yangchun stepping out of the camp, they all lined up to follow him, surrounding him in the center like stars holding the moon.

Li Yangchun headed west all the way, and stepped onto the westernmost watchtower of the Zhongshan camp.

The three mountains were conjoined, and Li Yangchun set up a total of three battalions, namely Dongshan, Xishan, and Zhongshan.

The three mountains have no names, but Li Yangchun divides them by location.

Dongshan occupies the east, and the terrain begins to slow down to the east.

Xishan is in the west, and the terrain begins to slow down to the west.

Zhongshan is sandwiched in the center by two mountains, and the three mountains are distributed in an inverted "pin" character.

To the south is the rolling Sizuka Mountains, and to the north is the plains.

But if you attack directly from the north, you will be attacked by the three camps of Dongshan, Xishan and Zhongshan at the same time.

Because the plains in the north are surrounded by three mountains.

Li Yangchun took a step forward, left the crowd, leaned on the guardrail with both hands, and looked northwest.

On the northwest side of Xishan, the large formation of the Ming army slowly oppressed from the sky like dark clouds.

The rangers of the officers and soldiers walked on both sides and in front of the formation, like a barrier, separating all the exploration in the middle and near.

Li Yangchun saw that his scouts who had been walking outside the three mountains were easily expelled.

There are more than [-] teams of rangers of officers and soldiers, in groups of three or five, distributed on three sides.

The officer-soldier rangers seem to be distributed in disorder, but in fact they are orderly in chaos.

Once one of the teams joins the battle, the surrounding rangers will gather immediately, turning from a small group into a large group in an instant.

Although he had a large number of scouts scattered outside, they clearly had the advantage in numbers, but they were retreating steadily, and even suffered partial defeats.

Li Yangchun's heart sank slightly. The reconnaissance cavalry he sent out were basically elite cavalry under his command and the best horsemen in the army.

There are four hundred scouts outside the West Mountain, three or four times as many scouts as officers and soldiers, but they haven't even gotten any favors, and they are completely at a disadvantage.

"Chen Wang..."

Li Yangchun was very unfamiliar with this name.

How could a new guerrilla have such a strong cavalry under his command.

You must know that most of the fine cavalry under his command are from the frontier army of Guyuan and Yansui, and there are many battalion soldiers.

Even if they met the scouts from the battalion soldiers in the three towns in northern Shaanxi, they could support them, and they would not be so embarrassed.

Li Yangchun narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the rangers of officers and soldiers scattered in the distance. The more he looked at the tactics, the more familiar they felt.

"This team of cavalry are Liao cavalry who fled from Sanshui."

At this moment, Li Guo spoke in a timely manner.

Li Yangchun's eyes narrowed slightly, Li Guo's words made him finally recall why he was so familiar.

This is Liao Qi's method of warfare, and it was like this when the scouts under You Shiwei and Zuo Liangyu's two ministries, Ye Bushou, opened up the battlefield for the army.

The advancing speed of the Ming army was not slow. In just two quarters of an hour, they were almost advancing to the front of the Xishan camp.

After many years of fighting, it is naturally easier to judge the size of the enemy army based on the size of the army formation and the gap between them.

Although the distance is still far away, it is close enough for Li Yangchun.

The two battalions of the Ming army seemed to have come out in full force, definitely more than [-] people.

There are about 200 cavalry in the front, and there should be about [-] cavalry outside as a barrier, and the rest are all infantry.

The infantry lined up in marching ranks, and the marching of the Ming army generally took bureaus as units.

Li Yangchun could see clearly that the infantry formation of the Ming army had a total of 32 innings, calculated according to the full number of 110 men in each inning, there were a total of 580 four men.

Although the Ming army has always had the problem of being short-paid, the military establishment is definitely not uniform.

But getting paid and going into battle are two completely different things. No matter how poor the generals are, they know that there are not enough people, and there will inevitably be flaws in going into battle.

Therefore, when going into battle, the soldiers will inevitably be replenished. Generally speaking, there is one set of establishments for receiving wages, and another set of formations for going into battle.

And if the number of people is too short, the difference can be seen even from a distance.

Now the Ming army is starting to line up under the Western Mountain, the number of all the army formations is not much different, and it is definitely full.

There will only be more people, never fewer.

The strong northwest wind blew past like a bone-scraping sharp blade, and the hunting sound of the flag being rolled by the gust of wind echoed in everyone's ears.

The blue robe that Li Yangchun was wearing was blown up.

There were three shots in the sun, and the golden crow was in the sky, but there was no feeling of heat.

Li Yangchun tightened his robe, and the sunlight fell on his body, but it didn't make him feel the slightest warmth.

Li Yangchun narrowed his eyes slightly, wandered around for many years, and finally returned to Shaanxi.

Autumn seems to have come earlier than in memory, and the climate seems to be colder than before.

Li Yangchun closed his eyes, recalling the past.

He still remembers that when he was a teenager, it was still in the Wanli period.

The weather doesn't seem to be so cold, and autumn doesn't come so fast.

The strong wind howled in Li Yangchun's ears, bringing Li Yangchun's thoughts back from the sky.

Li Yangchun opened his eyes again, he didn't know why, but he knew what the cold weather meant.

The long winter will undoubtedly kill more people and make Shaanxi suffer more disasters.

Li Yangchun opened his eyes again, and his heart sank again.

Because in the short period of time he recalled, the Ming army had already launched a military formation, from the original marching formation to a combat formation.

Li Yangchun has fought battles at such a speed for so many years, and he has never seen it a few times.

Li Yangchun now felt that he might be a little reckless, so he accepted the order to go to Gongchang Mansion.

But now is not the time to regret it, after all Li Yangchun has been in the field for a long time, and he soon stabilized his mind.

Most of the reconnaissance cavalry outside have returned to the camp, and a small number are still wandering around the barrier opened by the ranger cavalry of the Ming army, looking for opportunities.

At this moment, the detective report that Li Yangchun had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.

"Detective cavalry report!"

A soldier carrying a command flag and covered in dust hastily boarded the watchtower.

"The enemy's infantry consisted of about [-] men, and many of them wore armor. There were about a thousand cavalry, all of whom wore armor."

"Our department suffered many casualties, and most of them have withdrawn to the camp."

The detective cavalry read the detective report aloud, and the atmosphere on the watchtower sank.

Thousands of cavalry are all in armor, and most of the troops are heavily armored.

This news came from detective cavalry's scouting report, and it was absolutely not exaggerated.

There are many troops wearing armor. Using this word, it means that even ordinary soldiers basically have armor.

"The enemy army carries more than a dozen artillery pieces, and the equipment transported in front of the formation is a new type of chariot."

"The chariot is not equipped with cannons, and the front is like a shield, which is extremely wide, with about dozens of sides."
