Chapter 140 Night battle with the grassland

When training the merchant regiment to guard the gun cavalry, this matter still has to be left to Chen Liang to handle. I am really afraid that Deputy General Chen will be exhausted. There is no way, and it is rare to have talent.

But tonight, these Mongolians were in trouble and bit on the steel plate.

The sparse arrows shot over quickly, and a string of Mars slid out on the heavy cavalry's armor. The Mongols' arrows were far worse than the armor-breaking heavy arrows of the Eight Banners soldiers, and they really could not kill the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry. The cold arrow fell down, and the personal soldiers beside Ma Cheng just held a big iron shield, and even hid lazy. Ma Cheng picked up a broken arrow, touched the arrow and couldn't help laughing. This could also be called What about arrows? This arrow is less than two taels of iron, and it is light and I'm afraid it won't even be able to shoot cotton armor.

The front lineman shouted at the top of his lungs according to the battlefield discipline: "Defend the arrow!"

Ding Wenchao shouted and cursed back: "Howling, I'm silent!"

The team official was so scared that he shut up and felt wronged. The scene was very funny but no one laughed. Some people sitting on the ground were shot by cold arrows and rolled and screamed. A large number of business guards also looked outside. The archery fired and guns were very chaotic. After seeing this farce, Ma Cheng frowned and waved his hands. The bamboo whistle kept ringing, and the sour bowstrings sounded, and Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry was fighting on the horse and fighting in the footsteps. Pull the powerful step bow.

Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry was not equipped with cheap imitation of English longbows, but the compound staircase bow, which was rare in the Ming army, had a range that was better than the longbows, and was naturally extremely expensive. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, Macheng naturally spared no expense. The number of people who came from the Beijing camp was only more than 3,000. It was not difficult to create such powerful step bows, but it only took time and a lot of money.

"fly!"

With a shrill command, heavy arrows broke through the air and shot out at the most densely packed place of the torch.

A shrill scream sounded two or three hundred meters away. The first round of cover shooting turned the man who was shooting with a light rider and was quite embarrassed.

Ding Wenchao was a general who had fought an old war. Seeing this, he cursed: "Scattering, shoot accurately, don't you need to spend money on arrows?"

The awkward battalion officials ordered scattering and aimed at the shooting. They also felt that the rain of arrows was too luxurious, just like a cannon, a big mosquito, was too wasteful armor-breaking heavy arrows.

Wow, swow, arrows are like locusts.

All those who can choose to be the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry are sharpshooters, and they aimed at the Mongolian light cavalry holding the torch high. With a series of arrows, the Mongolian people tasted the taste of arrows biting meat. The two battalions of iron cavalry and the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners were used to fighting tough battles, and shot Killing the Mongolians on the opposite side is really easy and easy to kill chickens. With a powerful step bow and a heavy armor-breaking arrow, the arrows are shot within a hundred steps. After only half a quarter of an hour, the Mongolian light cavalry was defeated.

Several battalions of officials and killers rose. With a command, a battalion of iron-armored archers swarmed out, biting the Mongolian tail and chasing. The heavy cavalry waiting to fight were bored. The battalion officer simply ordered to dismount and rest, and the page of the nail sounded. , Teams of iron armored heavy cavalry dismounted in an orderly manner, standing solemnly, letting the people sitting on the ground, the coolies, and the shopkeepers of the Shanxi merchant Chang family be stunned. There were a few people who were caught in the cold arrow, and they could see them all. Forgot the pain.

In the early morning, on the grassland on the north side of the Great Wall.

Macheng jumped out of the carriage, patted the mail on his body, and the soldiers on both sides saluted and shouted, making the iron armor sound, which also woke up the silent caravan. The silent camp quickly boiled As soon as he got up, the coolies were busy feeding horses and tying up their carts, and the people were busy packing, adding some firewood to the extinguished bonfire, and cooking some cooked food to fill their stomachs.

In the distance, there were corpses of people and horses lying a hundred steps away. The dense corpses made people's scalp numb.

Ma Cheng walked through the corpse, lifted his foot and kicked a corpse over, revealing a face full of mud. Before his death, the Mongolian man grinned. Most of the dead Mongolians were intact.

Under the influence of Ma Cheng, the Kaiyuan soldiers had long given up the bad tradition of the Ming army's beheading and discussed their merits, and they did not bother to do so.

Behind him, the Chang shopkeeper walked over tremblingly under the protection of several guards, carefully dodging the corpse under his feet, as if he was afraid of trampling on the Mengren who woke up and fell to death. Five or six Mengren were shot here last night.

Hundred and the gang hired by the caravan were collecting the body tremblingly. It seemed that it would take a long time to collect it.

Manager Chang Da walked to a place half a step behind Macheng and sighed: "Is this Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry? Slaughtering chickens and dogs."

Ma Cheng smiled and said, "It scared the shopkeeper. I will put more detectives out tonight, so that the shopkeeper Chang can't sleep well even if he sleeps."

The shopkeeper Chang Da suddenly felt proud and smiled and said, "It's so great. Under the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, the native chicken and the dog, the general Zhenhuangming's first battle general."

Ma Cheng smiled and a guard of the Chang family asked boldly: "Why don't the head of the chief town be cut off? This is all military merit, five or six hundred."

Ding Wenchao smiled unrestrainedly and said, "What kind of military merit is this? It's bloody. My young master doesn't like these pickled things. If you like it, go and cut it."

The guard shrank his neck awkwardly. Ma Cheng looked at the shopkeeper Chang with an expectant face, and then he simply did a good job and asked the guards of the Chang family to cut off some of their heads to report their merits. The shopkeeper Chang was very happy and was not greedy.

The guards cut off more than 300 heads, and more than 300 levels was also a great achievement. Most of the Chang family had children working in the Nine Border Army. More than 300 levels were enough to allow several Chang family children to upgrade to several levels.

The shopkeeper Chang's face flushed with excitement, and he said expecting: "The Caomin has a heartless request, and I ask the head of the town to fulfill his wish."

Ma Cheng smiled and said, "Please speak."

The shopkeeper Chang Da couldn't hide his expectations and said: "The people are brave enough to ask the Lord of the General Town to send an iron cavalry to Yuci to strengthen the great military power of the original iron cavalry."

Ma Cheng knows it, and people say this, but if they don’t understand it, they’re too stupid. Chang, this is to ask him to help train a team of iron cavalry guards. This was a rebellious thing in the early years of Wanli, and it was probably a matter of

The family was confiscated and exterminated the clan, but fifty years have passed. Which powerful family in Jiubian has never raised private soldiers? Some places are simply a combination of officials and businessmen. If the wealthy businessmen do not raise a private soldiers at home, the caravan may not even be able to leave the Great Wall.

Don't mention doing business with the Mongolians.

The private cavalry of the Zhou family, the chief of the Ma Mansion, almost even captured Guangshun Pass, and its combat power was amazing.

After thinking for a while, Ma Cheng whispered: "It's accurate."

The shopkeeper Chang Da couldn't hide his ecstasy. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed a few times. Ma Cheng smiled and helped the person up. This kind of thing was difficult for others, but it was too easy for Ma Cheng.

Just go to the five sergeant chiefs. Only three or five sergeant chiefs can train the Chang family private soldiers to death. With the huge financial support of the Chang family of Yuci, the combat power of this private soldier is terrible, but the number of people is not
