"Chi!" A sound broke through the air, and a cold arrow flew out of a mountain. Two men in camouflage clothes were lying on the top of the mountain. Not far away, a Mongolian galloping on horseback fell off his horse at the sound. It turned out that the arrow
Anesthetic was applied on it. This valley was one of the only ways to go south to the Great Wall, so Mongolians often passed by.
"Another one. Brother Qiang's archery skills are getting better and better. His arrows always hit his calf." A young man said to the man with a Chinese character who was shooting the arrow.
"Hey, you kid, stop flattering me. Didn't you come first in the company in the last riding and shooting competition?" The man with a Chinese-shaped face glanced at the man next to him and said, "Why don't you go and drag that man over? Next time it's your turn.
When you shoot someone, I will be the porter."
"Hey, it feels so good to be in an ambush. It's true that those Mongolians love to run to our Shuntian Mansion every day if they have nothing to do. Isn't this looking for death?" The man chuckled lightly and moved briskly towards the man who was hit by the arrow.
people go.
After a while, the unconscious Mongolian was pulled back and thrown into a mound.
"One, two, three, four..." The young man counted the captives who were tied into a pile, "There are six in total. If we get four more, our rat-catching mission will be successfully completed this time."
"We rarely have the opportunity to be eagles. We can work hard for a few days and get dozens or twenty gophers. We can earn back a month's military pay. That would be great." It's not just an eagle catching a mouse.
This kind of game is a kind of actual combat drill unique to the Peking Army: people with excellent training scores are sent outside the Great Wall to lurk in the territory of the Three Guards of Duoyan. While serving as scouts, they also ambush the lone Mongolians and put them behind them.
These prisoners were brought back as slave labor.
The reason why they are called rats is because these slaves will be dragged to coal mining sites to engage in the most dangerous work of drilling holes and digging coal. Of course, the captives can only be the Mongolians of Duoyan Sanwei and the Mongolians of Peiping, the headquarters of Mongolia.
The soldiers would not move. Even if they sneaked across the Great Wall, they would only be stunned and thrown back.
"You only care about the little money. I just want to gain more military merit and be promoted quickly. By the way, I heard from the superiors that Mr. Wan seems to be recruiting some elite guards. A buddy from the camp next door to us was selected. That proud little guy,
I really didn’t see it. But then again, if I can be with Mr. Wan every day, it will be difficult for me not to be successful."
"I've also heard about this. It's said that joining the Jingzhong Guard is more stringent than selecting a battalion commander. The selection is mainly based on military merit. Not only literacy, but also all training must be excellent. Your boy's training results are good, but his qualifications are
Too shallow and too little military merit, otherwise our battalion commander would definitely recommend you."
"Hey, it doesn't matter if you didn't win this time. I heard that there will be another batch selected in two months."
"Then you have to have enough military merit. Our Peking Army doesn't just look at your training results, everything is calculated based on military merit. How much military merit do you have for being so confident?"
In the Peiping Army, military merit is very rare. Under normal circumstances, you can get one point of military merit by killing or capturing one person. Usually, only those who have excellent training results can get extra points. In short, it is very precious.
"Hey." The young man stretched out a finger.
"ten?".
The young man shook his head.
"It can't be a hundred, right? That military merit is enough to enter the military academy for further study, and you can become a company commander after you graduate."
"It's still ten minutes short of one hundred." The young man smiled.
"Wow, this is really a real person who doesn't show his face. Brother, I'm still twenty years short of you, and you've come from behind. You really deserve it." The man with the Chinese character's face punched the young man's chest, and said with a smile: "If you, kid
After advancing to the Jingzhong Guard, don't rely on your old age and neglect your old age."
"How dare you? I am a new recruit trained by Brother Qiang. Brother Qiang will always be my eldest brother."
The man with the Chinese character was about to answer, but his expression suddenly changed. He put his head on the ground and listened for a while, then said, "No, it seems there is a cavalry passing by."
"What should I do?" The young man was also on high alert.
"Judging from the sound of horse hooves, there are at least ten people. We don't need to take risks. Let's hide first." After finishing speaking, the man with the Chinese character face jumped to the pile of fainted prisoners in three steps and then used some weeds to kill them.
People are buried.
The young man quickly made two pits around him, got into them, and put on his disguise, leaving only his nose and eyes exposed. The man with the Chinese character face also quickly hid himself tightly.
As long as someone doesn't step over them, they won't be discovered.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves came closer. First, four big men in robes hurried past, followed closely by six burly men. They used their bows and arrows and kept shooting at the four people in front. The big men in robes in front were killed.
They seem to be running forward wildly. Looking at this formation, it is definitely not a friendly horse race, but a real risk of death.
The two sides fought and fought, and fought all the way. The big men in golden clothes who were running for their lives were not easy to mess with. They were being chased in a hurry, and they kept shooting back. Both sides were in a panic, and soon they were numbered.
Unfortunately, one man was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse. Both sides were rapidly reducing their numbers. The original four versus six became two versus three.
"Damn it, these Mongolians are getting more and more arrogant. They are fighting on the territory of our Peiping Army. They are really looking for death without waiting for a while." The man with the Chinese character said in his heart, quietly raised the crossbow in his hand, and aimed at the three
A person in the human team, as a leg is an arrow.
"Chi!" There was a soft sound, and one person was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse.
Immediately, there was another roar of wind, and another horse neighed and fell to the ground.
The three-person team suddenly lost two of its combat forces, and the situation turned around again. The remaining person looked at the two-person team that stopped in front, and then looked at the dirt bag behind him who was flying with cold arrows. He knew that he was being attacked from both sides.
I don't know what to do.
At this moment, there was another burst of arrows, and several cold arrows flew towards them. The three people were unable to dodge, and two more fell down. The remaining one knew that something was not good, and clapped his horse towards the other person.
They ran wildly in one direction, trying to escape. But it was too late, there was another arrow sound, and the last person was knocked to the ground. "Six alive, four dead. This time we are lucky."
The young man emerged from the mound and shouted excitedly.
"I'll tie the person up. You can send a signal to the team to transport the person and pull a big carriage to transport the person." The man with the Chinese character face was so excited that he trotted to tie the person. When he turned over a prisoner who was lying on the ground.
, his eyes were fixed on the other person's face, and he said in surprise: "Gangzi, come here and take a look, this guy seems to be a high-ranking Mongolian official."
"High official? No way. A high official will run around with only a few hawks and dogs?" The young man said, but he still trotted over, took a closer look, and said happily: "Wearing gold and silver
, even if he is not a high official, he is still a tribe leader, we will take them back for questioning immediately."
The two soldiers pulled the stunned people aside, took out a black dragon flag, stood it on a high place and waved it constantly. Not long after, a cavalry team appeared and brought a carriage over, taking the prisoners and dead bodies to the carriage.
Get on the pile and leave quickly, as if they never appeared.
There will be many ambush teams like this, coming so quietly and leaving quietly, not taking away a trace of cloud, but taking away countless prisoners, and what is left behind is a death that makes the Mongolians talk about it.
Zone. The person who formulated this tactic was the Military Commission headed by Wan Lei. In addition to actual combat training, the main purpose was to create terror so that the Mongolians of Duoyan Sanwei would not dare to cross the Great Wall even half a step.
In fact, since the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the recurrence of warlord wars in the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains regime has implemented the national policy of suppressing military force and cultivating culture, and has tried its best to suppress military generals. It has become a trend to emphasize culture over military affairs. The result of emphasizing culture over military affairs is to turn countless elites into helpless chickens.
A scholar of strength.
Although there is nothing wrong with being a scholar, if the entire nation becomes a scholar, then there will be a big problem. As the saying goes: if you are strong, you are easy to break, and if you are soft, you are easy to bully. The Qin Dynasty was at its peak of martial arts, sweeping away the six kingdoms and dominating the world.
, died after being tired for two generations, because it was too strong. In the Song Dynasty, it was engaged in martial arts and culture, but was repeatedly invaded by foreign tribes, and was later forced to move south to peace, because it was too weak.
The Ming Dynasty inherited the great unification of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but went back to the old path of the Song Dynasty, which emphasized the imperial examination and neglected martial arts. As a result, people all over the world regard studying and gaining academic achievements as their main career, and practicing martial arts and military training as their last career. If things go on like this, the country will have no brave soldiers.
, there are only civil servants who form cliques for personal gain. As a chieftain's government, it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so Shuntian Prefecture will not follow the Ming Dynasty's national policy, and will not engage in the practice of advocating civility and Yanwu.
In Wan Lei's view, in order to strengthen a nation, it is not only necessary to strengthen it physically, but also to arm its mind. If you want a nation to stand forever in this world of the jungle, it is not only necessary to have a barbaric body, but also to be strong.
You must have a shrewd mind and a wolfish nature in your heart, so that you can fight against the Mongolians who are like a pack of wolves and survive in an environment surrounded by powerful enemies.
Therefore, unlike the Ming Dynasty, which often burned pastures on the border to prevent the Mongols from going south to garrison, the Peiping Army did not burn the pastures and allowed the Mongolians of the Three Guards of Duoyan to graze southward.
Capture one, and ambush a Mongolian tribe when you see it. In short, you want them to never come back. In this battle of blood and fire, create a Peiping army that can rival the Mongolian cavalry.
