Inside Jubao Trading Company, eight hundred student troops were ready to go out. The early morning sun was particularly dazzling. With the sun behind their backs, under the command of the instructor, everyone checked their equipment for the last time.
Fire guns, bags with medicine, small iron balls, and each person also carried a basket on their back. The things in the basket looked quite heavy, but after nearly three months of training, these former scholars now have
He is quite tough, carrying a gun weighing more than ten kilograms on his back and running long distances wearing more than twenty kilograms of heavy armor. Although this basket is heavy, it can still bear it.
The flags were raised, Liu Chengfeng was sitting on a horse wearing heavy armor, his eyes wandered in the queue, and then he loudly said: "The fourteenth year of Orthodoxy... It was also at this time, it was also late autumn, Wa
Assassinate the bandits, go straight into Xuanfu and other places, surround the capital, and kill people
In Yingye, on the side of the capital, rivers of blood flow. Wives have lost their husbands, and sons have lost their parents. Why is this? This is what the Waci people deceive me. The Ming Dynasty has no loyal and brave men, and they only dare to garrison at the city gates, so that they are unscrupulous.
Once you break through the barrier, you can drive straight in as if there is no one there!"
"After that, in the second year of Zhenghua, the Waci people attacked Datong again and looted countless goods; in the sixth year of Jingtai, the Waci people attacked Taiyuan; in the third, fifth, and sixth years of Chenghua, the Waci people repeatedly went south, raped and killed
Robbery is extremely vicious. Now that the Holy One has ascended to the throne, he is harassing border gates with bricks and thorns.
The next five times, the imperial court repeatedly fought back, but could not hurt its muscles and bones, so why? This is the spirit of the Ming Dynasty when there is no Taizu and Emperor Wen. The country has been in peace for a long time, and the swords and guns are in storage. I want to ask today, today
Are there really no loyal and brave people in the world?"
"No, the people of the Ming Dynasty are not only thousands, but tens of thousands of people. How can there be no men and husbands? According to this prince, it is just a husband in the world who has no way to serve the country. You are all scholars, and the principles of sages and sages are not
To say more,
Today, the time has come for you loyal monarchs to serve your country and avenge the enemies of this country. Open your eyes and look, the current emperor is on the tower of the urn city, cheering for you, and the people of the world are waiting for the news of your triumph. Today..."
Liu Chengfeng drew out his sword and continued: "I am willing to work with you all to encourage each other. When we go into battle, you and I are all brothers. If we win, we will win. If we lose, there will only be a destroyed student army, not a completely defeated student."
military."
The wind blew the flags, and no one spoke. Everyone knew that when this mighty lieutenant was about to lecture, no one was allowed to interrupt. They did not respond to Liu Chengfeng with excited shouts, but deep down, the oily
The sages' books they studied hard under the lamp, each truth has been imprinted in their bones. They have not had time to become smooth, and the dangers in the world have not had time to smooth their corners. At this time, eight hundred hearts jumped together.
Confucius said it is benevolence, and Mencius said it is to obtain righteousness. Only when the righteousness is fulfilled, benevolence is the best. What have you learned from reading the books of sages? From now on, you will have no regrets.
At their core, they are still scholars. The Tao of Confucius and Mencius teaches the method of becoming benevolent and choosing righteousness. In the face of thorns, since you cannot become benevolent, you can only choose righteousness. Otherwise, what is the use of reading this sage's book?
In today's battle, only by exerting all one's strength and holding on to the determination to die can we be worthy of our honour.
Liu Chengfeng glanced at Zhengyang Gate in the distance, then raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go!"
……………………………………………………………………
The first ones to arrive at Wengcheng were not the student army, but the vanguard of Wa Ci's camp. The sound of horse hooves could be heard from outside the city. These people were already camping on the outskirts of Beijing, so they came in directly from the gate of Wengcheng. A thousand cavalry were like a whirlwind.
Generally speaking, the vigorous Waqi knight rises and falls on his horse as the horse rises and falls, and his superb riding skills are a bit more murderous than the Ming Xiaoqiu who just accompanied him.
In the doorway, groups of Waci people roared into the Wengcheng, led by the Waci people's envoy Jie Qinggeertai.
According to the customs of the Waci people, whether they are civil servants or envoys, they are actually the leaders of the tribe. When war comes, they can summon their tribesmen to fight. Therefore, Qinggeltai is called an envoy, but he is actually the leader of the Waci people.
There are not many strong men, today
He wore a suit of cowhide armor, a feathered hat, and long braids hanging on the back of his head. His steel-pin-like beard made his already sharp-edged face even more arrogant.
With a cruel and proud smile.
In his heart, he only believes in one truth: as long as the descendants of Genghis Khan ride on a horse, they will never be defeated. Today, what he faces is just a group of young boys and a group of scholars, a group of chickens who can rise to the top of the mountain in one go.
The rising southerners.
Today I am taking this opportunity to give these southern barbarians a little color and let the national prestige of Wasa be spread throughout the world through these envoys who came to see them. Qinggeltai is indeed proud. The people he brought this time are all
He is one of the most elite warriors in Wasi and enjoys a great reputation in Wasi. Even the Tatar and Duoyan guards had to retreat when they saw the wind-like tent guard. No matter how powerful these southerners are, how could it be possible?
Are they their opponents?
When the student army was practicing day and night, Qinggeltai did not give way to the vanguard to practice, because in his opinion, the dignified elites of Wazi were temporarily holding their own feet at this time. Even if they won, it would be a weak victory. He
Just to let everyone see that the Wasi people killed these southerners just like killing chickens, without making any preparations in advance.
This was Qinggeltai's first visit to this urn city. Although the urn city was large, it still seemed a bit small for these elite cavalry, and they felt cramped and unable to move freely.
A general from the Waqi army behind Qinggeltai looked at the urn city and couldn't help but rein in his horse and said in Mongolian: "Sir, this place is not good for us. You see, the place here is too small."
Qinggeltai is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. After looking around, he immediately realized that the area here is only a few miles away, so it is difficult for the cavalry to spread out. Moreover, the front guard is best at attacking the flanks in a roundabout way, but here, I am afraid that he will not be able to use it.
opened,
In the battle between cavalry and infantry, terrain is also very important, especially the outflanking tactics, which can be said to be a tried and tested method for cavalry to sweep through infantry. Now that they cannot outflank from the flanks, this means that the combat effectiveness of the front guard will be greatly reduced.
In addition, the longest area here is only two or three miles. The distance of two or three miles is used for frontal charge, and it cannot be used to the fullest. The horses will fall into the opponent's formation before they reach the top speed. This is indeed not the place where the avant-garde and the students are
A favorable place for military confrontation.
but……
Qing Geertai couldn't help but curled his lips, even if the strength of the vanguard was greatly reduced, even if the combat power was reduced by 30%, so what? Could it be that a strong warrior cannot deal with a group of dolls?
This is an unfair match. The vanguard of the tent is the elite of the Waqi, the most courageous cavalry, while their enemies are a group of young boys who have just started training. They use the cavalry to attack the infantry. The Waqi have the advantage.
It's cheap, and I don't know how much advantage they have taken by using elites to fight against their new army. If at this time, Qinggeltai asked for a change of venue on the grounds that the terrain was not conducive to cavalry use, I am afraid that the Ming civil and military officials on the tower would
Envoys from all over the world will laugh at you.
Qinggeertai grabbed his horse's temples, smiled coldly, and said: "The eagle on the grassland will not be afraid of rabbits even if its wings are broken. This is the best. You see, there are people watching the battle on the tower. Let them wipe it today."
Clean your eyes and see how powerful we are."
The general also felt that it was reasonable, and that this time the confrontation was already guaranteed to win, so there was no need to dwell on this issue, so he reined in his horse and quietly retreated.
On the city tower, countless pairs of eyes saw the vanguard of the Waci tent who was as quiet as a virgin and as active as a rabbit in the urn city, and they couldn't help but feel a little afraid in their hearts. The Waci people's cavalry is indeed well-deserved, although it is only less than a thousand, but
The appearance of entering Wengcheng just now was like thousands of troops, which made people's hearts tremble.
Many people are even worried about the student army. Some people even couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: Why is His Royal Highness so troubled that he actually issued a challenge to assassinate others? Isn't it enough? If he loses today,
Daming's face was completely ruined.
Zhu Youtang just sat on the tower, squinted at the cavalry below the tower, called an official who was waiting to be summoned, and said: "Is this the elite cavalry of Wa Ci?"
"Reporting to the emperor, this is the vanguard of the tent. On this mission, Wasi Khan specially asked them to accompany him to build up his momentum."
Zhu Youtang could not help but nod his head and said: "Does our Ming Dynasty have a cavalry army that can match theirs?"
The official was at a loss for words. The cavalry was Meng's strength. How should he compare Ming's weaknesses with other people's strengths? If he told the truth, he would be afraid of Long Yan's wrath. But if he told lies, it would inevitably be misleading.
The official thought for a long time and then said: "The three guards of Duoyan may be able to fight with them."
Duoyan Sanwei was also a Mongolian, and had always been attached to the Ming Dynasty. He was one of the elite cavalry troops of the Ming Dynasty. After listening to the official's words, Zhu Youtang raised the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He couldn't help but sigh: "The Han family is not good at riding and shooting.
,Why……"
Zhu Houzhao, who was standing aside, said: "My father's words are wrong. According to my son, my father does not need to sigh. Although our Ming Dynasty is not good at riding and shooting, our Ming Dynasty also has the strengths of the Ming Dynasty. Master Liu once said that with cavalry
To confront the Watsa cavalry,
This is the advantage of using one's own shortcomings to deal with the Wazai people. Naturally, Ming Dynasty can only be beaten. But our Ming Dynasty also has strengths, so Master Liu formed a new army. This student army specializes in firecrackers and uses my Ming Dynasty's strengths to deal with it.
The strengths of Waci people.”
Zhu Youtang couldn't help but glance at Zhu Houzhao. Although he didn't quite agree with Zhu Houzhao's words, seeing the prince's serious look, he couldn't help but think that Liu Chengfeng had done a good job in supervising the prince. Now he is completely different.
