"Great Khan, those Mongolian iron horsemen who really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall dared to go out of the camp to fight our soldiers!"

I don't know which Mongolian uncle is talking nonsense with his eyes closed. When Kublai Khan looked back, it turned out to be the Tachar who had lost his military power and became an idle prince. Kublai Khan was not worried about leaving him in Bianliang, and he did not dare to let him go to the Hetao steppe. So I took him with me on the expedition.

At this moment, Tachar was pinching a telescope and watching Kublai Khan's jokes.

A joke indeed!

Most of the Mongolian iron horsemen are now not riding, carrying dying-long spears and heavy maces on the ice-covered plains! Others were carrying firearms that looked like black iron rods and were walking into battle......

And the Han army, which was leaving the camp, was a large number of cavalry and horses, all of them with dazzling steel armor, and most of the cavalry were armed with bows and arrows--what was going on? The Han people arched and rode horses, and the Mongols fought on foot?

Is this really not a dream?

Kublai Khan snorted, ignored Tatshar, and turned his head to continue watching—although he also felt a little twisted, but there was nothing he could do. The cavalry and archery handed down by the ancestors can't deal with the steel-armored pikemen of the Han people! You Ta Cha'er suffered a big loss in Liaodong, why don't you grow at all now?

At this moment, on the snowfield northwest of the camp of the Ming and Tang Dynasty coalition forces, two armies are arrayed. On one side is the Ming and Tang coalition forces, and they are not simple cavalry. Rather, like the Mongols, they were all mixed on foot.

In the center is the brigade of infantry. Three brigade-sized phalanxes were formed. In order to facilitate command, the Ming army added a regiment-level establishment under the brigade-level structure. The first regiment has three battalions. All pikemen or archers. Thus, a standard Ming infantry brigade consisted of two regiments of pikemen (six battalions in total), one regiment of archers (three battalions), one battalion of sword-and-shield men and grenadiers, and a small command company. The brigade was fully manned with 3,400 men and could form a standard "phalanx" on the battlefield - including six columns of pikemen and three columns of archers, while sword and shield men were in a mobile configuration, either covering the flanks or guarding the archers at the front.

The "government" level establishment of the Tang army under Li Yanguo roughly copied the brigade of the Ming army. One government and three fingers (command) nine capitals, and the full staff is also three thousand four hundred. The three prefectures formed a guard, and the guard of the Tang army (Li Yanguo system) was similar to the division of the Ming army, except for the three prefectures. It will also be accompanied by a tooth commander, an artillery commander (equipped with a three-bow bed crossbow), an engineer commander, a baggage commander and a cavalry commander (up to three or four hundred horsemen). It was also completely modeled after the division of the Lighting Army, and the total strength of a guard was about 13,400 at full strength.

However, the government soldiers are different from Chen Ming's sergeant soldiers, they are unpaid and completely supported by real estate, and they also have to bear part of the weapons and military expenses. Therefore, excessive military service can easily lead to the bankruptcy of soldiers, and it is inevitable that the military funds provided by themselves will be overused. The morale of the troops is also prone to depression.

Now that two brigades of the Ming army and one of the mansions of the Tang army are on the battlefield at the same time, even a novice who has been on the battlefield for the first time can tell at a glance whether they are strong or weak -- the two brigades of the Ming army are brightly armored and have sophisticated weapons. Most of them are not equipped with steel armor though. However, it was equipped with the infantry armor and leather armor eliminated by the rest of the Ming army, among which the soldiers standing in the front row were all infantry armor protectors. The spears they hold in their hands. The horizontal knife carried in his waist is at least inlaid with Nanfen steel!

And that mansion of the Tang Army. Obviously, there is a difference, only leather armor (the Tang system also forbade the people to have armor. So the armor is not self-contained), and the pikemen are not equipped with horizontal knives or any other melee weapons. The Knife and Shield Hands also use bulky and inexpensive Ring Hand Knives.

And both the Tang army and the Ming army are now in the same formation. The sword and shield bearers are in the front, kneeling against the enemy, the archers are in the center, and the pikemen are in the back. There are also no obstacles before the march.

On both sides of the infantry formation were cavalry, with thousands of horsemen on each side, marching in large groups, and the array was not very neat. But these large-scale cavalry groups with almost 10,000 horsemen are even more amazing than the phalanx composed of tens of thousands of infantry troops in terms of momentum! Moreover, the cavalry on these two wings are all in steel armor, and under the sun, they shine with dazzling light. Their banners and jackets were all red, and the red flag of the cavalry group on the left flank was also inlaid with a black border, which was the so-called red flag, while the right flank was a red flag. It's all the elite of the Eight Banners!

Between the cavalry and the infantry, two batteries of artillery were placed. Twelve bronze cannons were lined up on either side, with their muzzles pointed straight ahead.

At the end of this infantry and artillery mixed array, the recognition flags of Wang Lufei and Li Cuixian fluttered high. More than a thousand Xuanjia cavalry, dressed in steel armor, surrounded them left and right. These red-jacketed generals all hold the ancestral horse lance in their hands. Some of the lances also pressed the head of a pear flower gun. The inheritance of more than 50 years of the Red Jacket Army seems to be gathered at this moment, showing the most dazzling light. The resurrected Xuanjia cavalry will usher in their first battle in the Julu Wasteland!

……

The Mongols, presumably the Mongols, and the ugly-faced Semu people are also now arrayed.

The Mongols were naturally five cavalry and a thousand men, and the Mongols who marched with big guns and maces were exhausted, and they were sitting on the ground resting and eating—although the physical strength of these Mongols was stronger than that of the Ming army in the Daimyo Mansion and the Tang army brought by Li Xiong and Li Cuixian. But during this time, there were always thousands of miles of travel! Even the iron can't bear it, and now everyone is tired and has lost a few laps, and their physical strength is not as good as before. It is the Mongolian cavalry marching on horseback, although the people are not thin, but the horses under the crotch are all thin and long-haired.

But after a meal and a short rest, they had to build a camp and dig a trench - now the Mongols fought in a stubborn and dumb way!

As for the people who went into battle immediately, of course, they were also tired, and most of the people who returned to the battlefield wore two layers of armor, one layer of leather armor on the outside and one layer of chain mail on the inside—who made them valuable soldiers? Although they are carrying guns, each of them is equipped with a three-foot-long mace as standard, and the armor and hammer together are enough to weigh seventy or eighty pounds!

The three color gunmen also use a big gun more than five feet long, made of wrought iron, and it weighs dozens of pounds! During the march, two men were responsible for carrying guns. Another man carried a large pile of bits and pieces, including a wrought-iron forged stab; Two large packages of projectiles - one is iron sand and the other is iron marle; The three major packets of gunpowder -- saltpeter powder, sulfur powder, and charcoal powder -- each packed one package.

In addition, the weight of each soldier of color eye also included dozens of catties of dry food, a water bag, some clothes and property with him. Add a piece of miscellaneous things, and average it to each color soldier, which is more than 100 catties and 200 catties of weight.

Although Kublai Khan provided each of them with a mule, a horse or a donkey, they still had to carry a lot of weight on their own. Moreover, after several days of marching, many mules, horses, and donkeys of the people of color have died of exhaustion......

In short, along the way, these second-class colors, oh, are already third-class colors, and they are all tired like dogs. Some people really can't stand it, so they can only secretly throw away some of the grain and straw they carry with them - the weapons and armor are all given by the Great Khan, and whoever dares to throw them away will have to pay for their lives when the time comes to the inspection!

"Armor, put on chain mail and leather armor, don't let a money man shoot into a hedgehog later!"

"Whole team, whole team...... Lift the hammer in front, and the camel in the back! Give me the fuck some spirit! ”

"Later, we will aim and fight, and kill all the money men on the opposite side!"

The officers, who were carrying thousands of guns, shouted in chaos and commanded their subordinates to pull out four columns on the battlefield. The three columns are gun-carrying columns, consisting of 3,000 guns and 9,000 soldiers, each thousand guns are in a column, taking turns to shoot and reload in turns, so as to ensure the continuity of firepower. There is also a column of camel guns, 800 doors on the back of the camels on the copper guns arranged in a row, lined up behind the gun bearers, because the gun position is relatively high, so when firing, there is no need to worry about bombarding the front of the gun bearers.

And after this so-called 10,000 households, it was the 10,000-strong Jurchen team of Yelu Bald Mantaer. They were armed with the same equipment as the dismounted Mongol infantry, with leather armor, spears, maces, maces, and bows and arrows.

Because of their imaginary enemy, the Ming steel armor soldiers are not afraid of bows and arrows at all, so the number of archers in this 10,000-person team is not much, and there is only one 1,000-person team of bows and arrows in each 10,000-person team. The only team of 1,000 men was placed at the front, right behind the Bearers, armed with bows and arrows, ready to shoot with the Bearers. And behind them, there were nine phalanxes of pikemen and mace hands. Of these, the pikemen had six thousand men, and the mace men had three thousand men. Unlike the Ming army and the Tang army, which formed a brigade-level phalanx, they formed a thousand-person phalanx, and each phalanx used the same weapon.

"The fire is in front, the phalanx is in the back, and the two wings of the horse team are pressing...... Brother Wang, this Mongolian style of play is really new! ”

Looking at the thousands of steps away, the 20,000 Mongolian army put on a formation that had never been seen before, Li Cuixian's jade hand holding the reins had been tightly clenched into a fist, and some fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. It's not that I'm afraid of maces, but I feel a little numb when I look at the more than 3,000 guns and camels!

How can this be said to be advanced firearms, right? The Ming and Tang Dynasty coalition forces only had 12 bronze cannons on the battlefield. Can 12 cannons be compared to 3,800 guns of all kinds?

Wang Lufei smiled deeply, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, princess, today the Mongols use fire guns to march into formation, but my Han family strong men have bow horses to ride, princess let's see how the Han family's bow horses break the Mongolian firearms infantry army!" (To be continued......)
