Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 514

The Tartar nobles who were originally full of confidence heard what Wanhu Najite said, but they were not as enthusiastic as they were just now. The young master Tengzhuer of the Horqin tribe turned his head and said:

"Master Najit, our warriors can't be wasted here. If you don't take these things, you won't take them. They want to go back anyway, so there's nothing wrong with it!"

The Huwei army's formation was too tight, and they gathered together, and the surrounding Tartar cavalry scattered in all directions, but they didn't have to run too far, as they would be gathered back soon after running away.

Soon, the Tartar cavalry teams lined up outside the range of the artillery. When everyone looked over, they saw that the two infantry phalanxes of the Huwei Army were not chaotic, and they were still arranged outside the chariot camp.

Just now the dead and wounded soldiers were also dragged into the chariot camp, Wang Tong's side was also very flustered, but for outsiders to see, they were still majestic and the phalanx was not chaotic.

Su He, the old Tartar man who was about to escape, immediately pointed to the artillery position of the Huwei Army, and said cautiously:

"Prince Tengzhuer, Lord Najit, Minggou's artillery is really powerful. Our warriors can only form a formation and charge a few hundred steps away from the enemy's formation. The distance of a few hundred steps is not enough to control the formation. It’s too difficult to maintain the horsepower!”

Everyone watched with gloomy faces, but no one refuted it. Obviously what Su He said was true. Horses sprinted with explosive power. They adjusted the formation with short horse steps, and then accelerated to sprint. But now within a few hundred steps, the horsepower Not to mention consumption, it is difficult to maintain the formation.

The scattered cavalry has no advantage in front of the opponent's rigorous array of spear infantry, and the formation is well formed, and the losses just now can be seen. Almost a thousand people were lost during the charge and the siege. The wounded in the battalion were all dragged back to the car camp in the chaos just now. Looking at it this way, it seems that the Ming army did not suffer much loss, and their own losses were heavy.

A cavalryman is just a penny of capital in his hands, so heavy casualties, it has too much impact on his family's prosperity, and now everyone retreats, watching the artillerymen of Huwei Camp desperately reloading and adjusting, and the firecrackers also start to line up. This means that in the subsequent charge, there will be heavy casualties, so why bother.

Wanhu Najite looked around at the faces of the crowd, hesitated for a while, but picked up the whip and pointed at the formation of the Tiger's Mighty Army in front of him and said:

"Before I said that if the price is too high, then don't fight. If [-] cavalry are against [-] infantry, the loss of more than [-] can't be said to be too much. If you pay less than [-] casualties, you can completely break Minggou's battle. The formation will defeat Minggou in one fell swoop, and the cart and equipment will be ours by then."

He said so, but no one around responded. Najite shook his head, nodded his horsewhip forward, and said:
"Look at the gap between the two teams of the Ming army. During the war, the gunfire soldiers and artillerymen filled the gap. The distance between the two teams is only a hundred steps. As long as they rush in without hesitating casualties, the gunfire soldiers cannot withstand the impact of the cavalry. , When the time comes, the center will blossom, which will prevent the two teams from looking at each other, and without the protection of firearms, at that time, whether it is punching or archery, they can proceed calmly!"

After all, Najit is the nominal leader of these people, and he is also the Wanhu under my answer. When it comes to commanding troops in battle, he has the most authority among these people, but the loss is also there. With a look of hesitation, Najite gritted his teeth and said again:
"There is one thing that I haven't told everyone, but this group of smart dogs is different from ordinary smart dogs, and has something special about it."

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was immediately focused, and Najit said again:
"My tribe has excellent soldiers and armor, and their diet is different from other parts of the Alta tribe. Do you know why? Because there are people in the south who are closely related to me. They trade on the grassland and I provide protection. Now Although I have come here, I still have contact with the south side. There is a reward offered there. As long as I can kill the leader of this gang of smart dogs, they will give ten thousand people food, salt and other food for half a year. All kinds of weapons will have a lot of benefits in the future, let's fight again, and after the fight is done, everyone will share the benefits afterwards!"

Thousands of people can eat grain and salt for half a year, as well as all kinds of weapons. Such a promise is enough to change the balance of power in the grasslands and change powers. Looking at each other, Tengzhuer nodded.

Najit was able to manage such a large force, and after betraying Altan Khan, he was able to pull out all his soldiers and subordinates. If he had any prestige, everyone would not believe it. Someone provided financial support and has been enjoying the benefits of trade. Benefits, this is the real answer.

For the dignitaries on the grassland, being able to trade with Daming is tantamount to having the foundation of Wangba, but all of this is firmly in the hands of Altan Khan. The Horqin tribe is also a large tribe with tens of thousands of people, but they can only Do some business with the Jurchens in the east and the savages in the north. If you can get this source of income, or even just share the profits, you will be greatly subsidized.

Tengzhuer, the young master of the Horqin Department, turned around and said harshly:
"Since everyone came here together, and so many Erlang warriors died, we still have the face to stay on the grassland after leaving like this. If Master Ji Te said he would fight, then we should fight together and avenge our warriors !"

That is to say, this time the Wanqi soldiers and horses are the joint efforts of several forces, and any one family loses too much, and they are reluctant to lose their own capital, so they can only rely on others to survive. No one wants to suffer heavy casualties. Only by fighting together can we endure casualties.

"All queues move forward!!!"

*************
"Insufficiency of firecrackers is a great harm, we need to increase the number of firecrackers when we go back!!"

The phalanx of the Huwei army was constantly adjusted. After the dead and wounded soldiers in the phalanx were carried out, the phalanx was no longer dense.

Originally, the generals in Huwei's army had always been skeptical about the firecracker, but after today's battle, they no longer had any objections to Wang Tong's proposal.

If there were enough firecrackers, it would be impossible for the Tartar cavalry to get so close just now, and the phalanx would not suffer any damage. In the confrontation between armored infantry and spearmen and cavalry, there was no way to fight except for defending themselves. Opportunities, and if there are enough firecrackers, you can bombard them non-stop.

The two regiments adjusted their positions there, and now the enemy cavalry brigade has withdrawn to its own formation, and the orientation of the two regiments is also facing the enemy forward.

Wang Tong turned over the horse brought by his own soldiers, trotted around the formation, and finally stopped between the two regiments, looked at the gap and pondered for a while, and said:
"This is big trouble..."

*************
The guards in Miyun are poor, and the civil servants and ministers come and go frequently, so it is not easy to make money for the guards. The salary can be paid eight times a year, which is already very good compared with other places.

In the twelfth lunar month and November, because the New Year was approaching, food and salaries were paid for two months in a row. Everyone had some money in their hands, and the children of the family who went to Shunyi and Huairou to work as domestic servants returned with their wages, which was rare throughout the year.

With money on hand, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, the Chinese New Year has been passed down for thousands of years.

Originally, after Wang Tong led a large group of troops out of Gubeikou, the Miyun guards were all annoyed. They were afraid that this group of people would consume some of the few supplies stored in the barracks and guards, and it would be years later if they wanted to replenish them. The military crossing the border is very generous, and everything is paid, and the price is not low.

What's even more rare is that there is actually a caravan following. For the Miyun defenders who have no trade, this caravan can't be expected. After they come, everyone will naturally buy supplies. Good old days.

The soldiers and horses from Tianjin Wei went out for a day, and when it was dark the next day, the hundreds of horses came back. Come back as soon as you come back. The knife-like wind on the grassland is not something ordinary people can bear. How can the soldiers endure it.

But when they came back, they came back, but the pawns didn't follow them. Although it was strange, it was none of your business.Unexpectedly, on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, someone sent back news from the residence of the garrison, saying that the cavalry of the Huwei army was besieging the mansion of the garrison.

Everyone who heard it was confused. Aren't these all soldiers and horses of the imperial court?

When the news came out, it happened to be lunch time, and people from all families were at home. Upon hearing the news, the military households in the guard station and the soldiers in the battalion gathered over there with weapons and belongings.

When they arrived at Zhao Shoubei's side, there was no siege. Zhao Shoubei, who was a bit fat, was actually wearing armor and riding on a horse. Behind him was a team of several hundred cavalry from Tianjin.

A hundred and fifty personal guards around Zhao Shoubei were scattered among the cavalry, but Zhao Shoubei's face was not good-looking, and the faces of those behind him were also tense. Seeing everyone approaching, Zhao Shoubei looked back, and then He raised his voice and yelled:

"Brothers, I have received news that the Tartars are setting up an ambush on the grassland to ambush the imperial army, and they will launch it tomorrow."

There was a commotion below, Zhao Shoubei looked back and shouted loudly:
"They are all soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty. How can I sit idly by? I will lead my own guards and horses to the rescue. Don't force me, brothers. Those who can ride horses will go with me. There will be rewards!"

The guards of Miyun gathered a few hundred riders or they could gather together, but for the Chinese New Year, who wants to go to the grassland to die, and for the sake of these friendly troops who can't fight, when they were discussing, they heard someone in the imperial cavalry shouting:
"Anyone who follows will be given ten taels of cash in cash, five taels will be given first, and the rest will be made up later!"

Ten taels of silver, this is a year's military salary, and it's still cash!As soon as it was quiet down below, it immediately became a sensation! ——
