Chapter 699: Three Thousand Northern Ming Cavalry

The food was delivered on time and day by day, and Abdullah went up the castle every day to check on it. Not only him, but all the officers and soldiers of the guard are always paying attention to this army under the city, and after a long time, even the people of Beiming in the city will find a relationship to go to the city tower, just to see the appearance of the army under the loyal and courageous prince.

This one was unbelievable, but it shocked everyone. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but after being stationed that day, the 3rd Cold Front Division began its military training and drill early the next morning.

Leng Feng's Third Division has also been expanded to a certain extent after the Battle of Liaohe, and some of them are soldiers who used to be the Northern Ming Guard. They were disorganized by them and the veterans of the cold front, forming the fourth and fifth battalions of each regiment.

In other words, the four battalions and five battalions of each regiment of the first, second, and third regiments are considered new battalions, and their combat strength is relatively weak. It's just that this is weak and in comparison, even if it is taken out to fight against the Jurchen Cavalry Regiment, it is not too much to give.

There are six battalions, and because of the new construction, the combat strength has not yet reached the comprehensive standard of the cold front. In order to let them catch up in time, division commander Wu Sheng and political commissar Chen Bo deliberately increased the degree and standard of their training. Now that I have time to stay in the city, of course the training will not be left behind, and not only that, but the intensity has also been increased.

Every day at dawn, the soldiers of the six battalions got up, first ran around the camp a few times, and only stopped after ten kilometers of preparation, and then began to practice chopping knives, each of which made at least 200 knives. After doing this, it was time for breakfast, and the soldiers had half an hour to rest.

After breakfast, the training continued, and the chopping knife continued to be 200 times per person, followed by training to shoot targets. Of course, considering the amount of ammunition, it is impossible to come up and take live ammunition, first practice various postures, such as raising a gun, a person can practice for an hour, and a stone with a heavy weight must be hung under the butt to practice their stability and so on.

By the afternoon, it was time for cavalry training. Splitting stabs on horses, raising guns on horses, training in the military outline of the three-three system, and so on.

At night, it was time for half an hour of combat practice, the soldiers put on all kinds of armor, and then fought with wooden knives. Half an hour later, it's half a day of rest and half studying.

At least half an hour to learn the culture and include various maps, learn various skills such as gesturing before you can go to sleep for the day. And at this time, after the soldiers enter the military tent, they will start all kinds of snoring, and even the sound of grinding teeth, farting and so on. But no one blames the other comrades, because everyone is tired, and it can be said that they just stick to the pillow.

Repeat the cycle, every day is the same training. All this fell in the eyes of the generals and people of the Northern Ming Army on the city tower. Abdullah sighed in his heart more than once, "This is a strong army, their training methods are very scientific, and such an army is definitely not something they can stop." Mo said that now he only has more than 1,000 infantry in his hands, even if he gives him 10,000 or 50,000 people, he will not think that he can defeat such a powerful enemy.

"Hopefully, hopefully, Shangguan can agree to open a way for them, it is definitely a nightmare to be an enemy of such a person." General Abdullah, who was sighing at these in his heart, was also anxiously waiting for Shangguan's reply. It took ten days, and finally a scout cavalry came from afar, along with the letter in his arms, which represented an attitude towards mercenaries in the Nuer Gandusi region. Whether it's a war or a cooperation, you can see it right away.

Abdullah took the letter from the scout's hand with apprehension, and unfolded it silently, his expression changing for a while, his brows furrowed and relaxed.

The letter was written by Song Quan, the commander of the capital. As mentioned in the letter, Jin Yiwei can already conclude that the Five Star Army is part of the mercenary, in other words, the horse robbery that happened here before, including the Liaohe incident, should have been done by the mercenaries.

Thinking about it, I am afraid that only this army in the whole world can destroy more than 10,000 enemies without leaving the slightest mark and evidence.

The letter also said that even if the mercenaries provoked them first, then they would have no problem fighting back appropriately. Considering the strength of the mercenaries, considering that there is no order from above, and considering that Yang Chendong is also a loyal and courageous duke recognized by the Ming Dynasty, it is just a proper counterattack, and there is no need to do his best.

Seeing this, Abdullah also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't think about what the mercenaries had done to them before, and what he had observed these days had told him that this mercenary army was not easy to mess with, very hard to mess with.

The content of the next letter reassured Abdullah even more, considering the actual situation of the current Jianzhou Left Guard, he would not let them go into battle in person. Not even the Jianzhou Left Guard, but the nearby larger Jianzhou Guard and Shenyang Zhongwei did not have cavalry, so even they were not used. This time, 3,000 cavalry will be directly sent to try the mercenaries' catties, and all Adullah needs to do is to stand under the tower, record everything that happened from the beginning to the end of the battle in detail, and report it truthfully.

After reading the letter, Abdullah's heart was full of mixed feelings at the moment.

After all, the above still refuses to let go of the mercenaries easily, but to be selective and have the appropriateness to test it, but is this necessary?

Maybe ten days ago, when the Third Division of the Cold Front first arrived, Abdullah would have thought the same thing. But after watching the other party's ten days of training, especially after seeing the training of the nine cold front battalions of the third division, he had already given up that plan.

These nine battalions are not only very skilled in equestrianism, but also 500 times in chopping training, not only the number is sufficient, but the speed is also very fast. He had seen the wooden stakes that had been erected to serve as imaginary enemies split in half in a short time.

"The saber doesn't seem to be the same, sharper and tougher than ours." Thinking about it, Abdullah couldn't help but sigh again. Then there was anticipation, looking forward to what would happen after the arrival of the three thousand cavalry sent from above. He also wanted to cheer up his cavalry, but for some reason, he just couldn't muster the slightest strength.

In the barracks outside the city, Commander Wusheng returned from practicing chopping training. Compared with ordinary cold front warriors, what he asked for himself was to slash six hundred knives at a time, and at the same time to make one hundred more knives, the time requirement was the same, that is, in the same time, the fighters could make five hundred cuts, and he had to split six hundred times to be qualified.

With the continuous improvement of the military quality of the Leng Feng soldiers, as the commander of the leading division, Wu Sheng's requirements for himself are getting higher and higher. After returning from a stinky sweat, as soon as he took the towel handed by the correspondent, political commissar Chen Bo appeared in front of him.

"Division commander, the Beiming Guard has sent someone back to the city, there should be news. But the other party has no intention of contacting us, it seems that this news is not necessarily all good news, I'm afraid it's going to be a fight. As soon as Chen Bo entered the room, he also took a towel from the communicator behind him to wipe his face, and it could be seen that he was also sweating, obviously not long after training.

"If you fight one game, you will fight one game, and if you don't fight, some people don't know how good we are. The warriors below have long been suffocated, just let them vent well. Wu Sheng said indifferently, and his face bloomed with belligerent intent and confidence in victory.

"Okay, then we'll see." Chen Bo also said unhurriedly, obviously in their eyes, the cavalry of the Beiming Guard Station had long been out of sight. So much so that even if they knew that a big war might come, not only would they not have the slightest nervousness, but they didn't even need to prepare. Because the Leng Feng Third Division has always been in first-level combat readiness, the team can be pulled out to fight at any time.

No preparation is the best preparation, which is a strong confidence in one's own strength. And in the midst of such self-confidence, three days later, in the morning of the third division, a cavalry contingent that looked like it was covering the sky from a distance came from afar, bringing up countless smoke and dust behind them.

"Here we are." Division commander Wu Sheng and political commissar Chen Bo, who were also directing the team to train the target posture, reacted immediately. At that moment, the army gathered, mounted the horse and carried the sword, eager to try.

As soon as the team was assembled, a scout cavalry rushed back in front of him and rushed to the front of the division commander and political commissar, "Report to the chief, it's the Beiming cavalry, about 3,000 cavalry." ”

"Three thousand?" After hearing this, Wu Sheng shook his head with some interest, "Three thousand is really too little. ”

"Yes, it's a little less." This time, even political commissar Chen Bo agreed.

But they don't know how angry and furious they can get if these words are heard in the ears of their opponents. I have never seen such a underestimation of people.

The two division commanders glanced at each other, then smiled helplessly, and said at the same time: "Who do you think you want to send?" ”

The words were spoken at the same time, and then both of them looked at each other and smiled. They were all going to fight in person, but the enemy only came with 3,000 people, to be honest, it was really too little, so few that they were embarrassed to take credit from their men.

They all understood the other party's thoughts, and finally it was the political commissar Chen Bo who spoke: "Then let's take a rest, we must give the later soldiers a chance to perform." It's better to send the commander of the third regiment to lead those six battalions to fight. ”

"Six battalions against three thousand cavalry, reasonable." After hearing this, Wu Sheng thought carefully in his mind, and then nodded in agreement.

Six battalions and one battalion are four hundred, that is, two thousand four hundred. Although the number of the three thousand cavalry of the enemy against these people is a little less, for Leng Feng, this is already bullying. That is, the six battalions were formed later, and the overall strength is even worse. If it is replaced by an elite cold front battalion, I am afraid that three battalions will be enough.
