Cuiping Mountain is a mountain range on the boundary of Suzhou. There are many mountains in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and there are countless large and small mountains. Cuiping Mountain has towering peaks and winding mountains. The trees in the mountains are lush and the roads are complicated. It is not like the old woodcutter who travels around the mountains all the year round. Be vigilant.
For a very strong old hunter, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky if he wanted to become familiar with the surroundings of Cuiping Mountain.
Ten miles away from Cuiping Mountain, a line of five thousand soldiers and horses was marching on the official road in Suzhou. The five thousand dragon army had three thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry. The infantry was divided into three queues, and one queue was a thousand soldiers with swords and shields.
Each of them holds a heavy shield, a stainless steel sword, complete armor, and walks in the first line of the infantry with solemn expressions.
Then came a queue of thousands of archers. Each archer carried an iron bow with a stone power on his back and wore light armor. In the quiver behind his back were twenty fine arrow clusters, although the tips of the arrow clusters could not be seen.
, just looking at the size of the arrow shafts and the feathers on the tails of the arrows, you can tell that these arrows must be extremely damaging. If they are hit, they will definitely pass through the body, and even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured and difficult to treat.
The soldiers and horses in the last queue are divided into two types, pikemen and halberdiers. The top of the gun barrel is about 15 feet long, with a cold light shining on the tip and a sharp halberd blade. Once the pikemen are besieged in one place, all the corpses will be killed.
It's hard to tell, they were all stabbed alive until their flesh and blood were blurred, making it difficult to identify their relatives.
The configuration of these three thousand infantry alone is enough to fight a small battle.
At the head were two thousand cavalry, and each of the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry had a queue of one thousand men guarding the infantry on both sides.
The light cavalry are all lightly armored, and their narrow and sharp sabers are frightening. The light cavalry is mainly used to disturb the enemy's morale, sneak attack on the rear infantry, and disturb the cavalry formation. Because the light cavalry is light-armored, simple and highly maneuverable, they are often
After a charge, the enemy's formation has not yet been completely set up. After the charge, they can only watch the light cavalry flee away, waiting for the next opportunity to harass.
Heavy cavalry are all protected by full-body armor. Even the horses are protected by light armor. They are mainly responsible for charging into battle. Heavy cavalry is different from light cavalry. Light cavalry is better at harassing the enemy, while heavy cavalry is better at inflicting heavy damage. A thick armor
, the rough and sharp broadsword, coupled with the momentum of the running horses, can kill people alive, and finally they will be trampled by thousands of horses and no bones will be left.
Moreover, no matter how light or heavy the cavalry soldiers are, they will all carry a small hand crossbow. When they meet again, the short soldiers have not yet met, and they will first cover a batch of arrow rain with the hand crossbow. Upon seeing this, the rear infantry will immediately support them with arrows, which is enough to
The number of enemy casualties increased by 20%.
The troops of the Dalong Dynasty were arranged in a clear order of priority, with orderly advance and retreat, and there were leaders and auxiliaries. Whenever the main formation team was established, all auxiliary soldiers must cooperate fully. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed by the whole team.
A lightly dressed man carrying three flags and talismans behind him reined in his horse and stopped in front of the leader of the army: "General Zhang, the scout reported that the traces left by the spies have been found. Cuiping Mountain is the main altar of the White Lotus Sect.
"
"If you continue to explore, don't disturb the White Lotus Sect's bandits. Find out how their personnel are defending. Try to catch them off guard and wipe out all the bandits who have been causing trouble for many years. In exchange for a He Qing Haiyan for the people of Jiangnan."
"Follow the order." Scout Juechen walked away.
"Vice General Sha, pass the order. After discovering the traces of the White Lotus Sect, the light cavalry immediately made a roundabout move to outflank the White Lotus Sect members. The heavy cavalry made a frontal assault and broke through the White Lotus Sect's defensive forces. Covered with hand crossbows, five hundred archers supported the rear, and five hundred bows and arrows
The hands are used as preparations to prevent those masters from using Qinggong to leave, and every point in the air is blocked with bows and arrows, so that not a single bird can fly out of Cuiping Mountain. The sword and shield players cover the archers in place to prevent bandits from attacking the archers.
After the heavy cavalry charge, the thousand-man team, spear and halberd teams surrounded the chaotic White Lotus sect bandits in batches and killed them on the spot."
"Follow orders."
"Commander Qi, the masters of the White Lotus Sect will be left to you and the Imperial Guards. Don't let any White Lotus Sect rebels go. Don't worry, General Zhang. As long as a large number of people are controlled, we, the Imperial Guards, will deal with those masters.
"A commander wearing distinctive armor was followed by seven great masters, all of whom were seventh-grade masters. He also nodded lightly.
"These White Lotus bandits have been lingering in the south of the Yangtze River for several years. The imperial court has been neglecting their governance because of the war in the northern grasslands. Unexpectedly, these bandits have become so arrogant that they have become so arrogant and brazenly launched attacks on several prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. These Jiangnan defenders
Soldiers are useless, even a small number of people from the White Lotus Sect can't defend them, so the imperial court is really raising them in vain."
"General Zhang must be careful to say that the south of the Yangtze River is a land of plenty, the hinterland of our Dragon Dynasty, and it has been rare for decades to see a war attack. There is nothing wrong with the behavior of the garrison."
"Hmph, be careful what you say. Is what I said wrong? I killed Turks and Jin people in northern Xinjiang. I joined the army at the age of fifteen. From a small soldier, I killed a soldier with blood flowing all the way.
Protector of the Country, I can’t even count the scars on my body. These Jiangnan children can be ranked in the imperial class by reading a few shabby books and writing two bad poems, and they can criticize me.”
"General Zhang, please don't talk nonsense. I believe those civil servants are impeaching you."
"Impeach is impeachment. Who in the civil and military dynasties does not know that I respect scholars. What I criticize is those rotten scholars and slanderous scholars who know how to do it. It is useless. But I respect the blood of Song Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of War. He is also a scholar. I respect him.
