A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 243 Very exciting, very masculine, very manly
Wang Dou, Lu Xiangsheng and others went up to the temporary watchtower in the camp to look out. Looking far away, it seemed that there was a large cloud of smoke faintly coming from the south.

The ground shook, and the smoke got closer and closer. Finally, everyone saw a large white banner flying towards them. Under the banner, there were all knights in white armor, and the fiery red peaks on their helmets were faintly visible.Among the flags, there is also an extraordinarily large white flag fluttering in the wind, which is as eye-catching as standing out from a flock of chickens.

Lu Xiangsheng snorted: "The slave is the sergeant of the white flag!"

"They are really brave. They dare to spy on our camp with thousands of soldiers in the district?"

All the generals around Lu Xiangsheng sneered, dismissing the thousands of Tartars outside the camp.With Duchen Lu here, and Wang Dou, the brave champion of the three armies, here, he declared that there are more than 1 officers and soldiers, and he is courageous, and he is afraid of a mere thousand soldiers who are fighting the white flag?

In fact, we can't blame those Qing soldiers for being too rampant. There are a lot of Ming officials and troops, but few dare to go out of the city to fight in the field, and a large part of them are watching the show after leaving the city. It's really a hand-to-hand battle with the Qing soldiers. less meat.Tens of thousands of Ming troops often watched thousands of Tatar soldiers looting and transporting money without daring to act rashly.

In fact, this group of Qing soldiers came to test them out. If this group of Ming troops remained the same as before and watched from the sidelines and did not dare to fight, they would return to Qingdu City, continue to capture the county town, and take all the riches and children.

Even more rampant than this Zhengbai Banner army were the sentry scouts who roared over. These men were all stout and skilled in equestrianism. They laughed wildly, galloped around the camp dozens of paces away, and shot at the camp from time to time. arrows.

From such a close distance, you can clearly see their arrogant and hostile faces, the fluttering red tassels on their helmets, and the copper and iron foam nails on their cotton armor are even more clearly visible.In the cold weather, they and the horses under their crotches spit out thick white air from time to time.

Lu Xiangsheng looked into the distance, and saw that the large cavalry with the white flag had stopped less than two miles away from the camp, posing for a battle.

Lu Xiangsheng stared angrily at the Qing army for a long time, and said to everyone in a deep voice: "All the generals will go back to the camp to choose the knights who dare to fight!"

He suddenly pointed at the Qing army outside the camp, and shouted sharply: "Follow the governor to fight, and annihilate this court food with one blow!"

……

As the trumpets sounded, teams of Xuanda cavalry gathered outside the camp soon, and finally thousands of people gathered under the flags.Outside the camp was a piece of bright red armor of the Ming army, and the horses couldn't hold back the commotion, neighing one after another, and finally merged into a golden and iron horse.

Those Zhengbai flag sentry inspectors who were proud of themselves outside the camp did not expect that the Ming army would dare to fight, they were all taken aback by coincidence, and all of them showed inconceivable expressions. They did not dare to stay outside the camp and rushed back.

There was a sneer in the Ming army, which became louder and louder, and finally everyone burst into laughter. The laughter of thousands of people seemed to cover up the howling of the cold wind.

Wang Dou also went out to fight, and Xie Yike beside him carried his banner himself, and a group of standard-bearer guards also followed closely beside Wang Dou.Behind Wang Dou, Li Guangheng led his four hundred cavalry, his face was also full of excitement, he couldn't wait to kill the enemy.

On Wang Dou's left was Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, leading his own thousand cavalry.On the right side of Wang Dou, Zhang Yan, the general of the Xuanfu, led his own five hundred cavalry.On the right side of Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry of the Supervising Biao Battalion, there are Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, and Hu Dawei, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, each with [-] cavalry.

In terms of organization, the three towns of Xuanda are basically the same, one battalion, one central army, two thousand generals, several generals under each command, and then the management team, the chief of the armor, each has a recognition flag, which is clear at a glance.In the most basic group of 12 people in each team, the leader of the armor is wearing a back flag and holding a scimitar. The four behind him are archers, and the next four are hook gunners. The next two are palladium hands. Soldiers, armed with big sticks, used to strike the enemy's horses on the head.

However, this time when Xuanda came to aid the army, if there were 3000 soldiers from the main army camps of the towns, even if they were all cavalry, at least nearly a thousand of them were auxiliary soldiers on horseback.Influenced by Qi Jiguang, the cavalry of the Ming army had a relatively high proportion of firearms. It is estimated that 1000 cavalry in each army were cavalry of the firearms team, and the last [-] were cavalry of the killer team.Most of these people are the personal guards of the family members of the generals and officers.

So after Lu Xiangsheng ordered the cavalry to go out to battle, the commander-in-chief of each town pulled out his servants and killer cavalry.These people are all professional soldiers, all of them have been in battle for a long time, and the treatment of cavalry is good. Everyone's face is full of toughness, and they all just hold the weapons in their hands tightly.

They looked at the murderous Qing soldiers on the opposite side. Although the horses in each camp were thinner and weaker every day, they were hungry because of the lack of food and grass these days. There were many Tazi soldiers on the opposite side with two horses, but there were no more than a thousand Tazi soldiers on the other side. It is estimated that there are only a few hundred people who can fight, and the thousands of cavalry on our own side will crush them to death.

The great military exploits are right in front of them, and these Ming army cavalry are all gearing up, impatient to kill the enemy.

More than 4000 cavalry, such a large sea of ​​armored flags, fiery red lacquered armor, flying feathers, and dense flags, like forest spears, seemed to pierce Yunxiao, and an unstoppable momentum stretched outward.The Qing soldiers over there were also obviously stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the Ming army not only dared to fight, but also had such a large formation when they came out.

After the generals led the army out of the camp, they each brought some personal guards to gather under Lu Xiangsheng's banner. Lu Xiangsheng supervised the battalion with nearly a thousand people, and this time he brought [-] cavalry into battle.Behind him, on the left and right, all the generals looked at the Qing soldiers on the opposite side with disdainful eyes.

After several days of recuperation, Wang Pu regained his handsome demeanor, and his armor regained its splendor. He rode his horse and glanced contemptuously at the Qing soldiers opposite him.

With his right hand, he vigorously shook his bright red cloak and cloak, causing it to flutter in the wind, then swayed the red tassels on his helmet gracefully, and saluted Lu Xiangsheng with fists, and shouted loudly: "Minister, the son of the general who is willing to lead the Great Harmony!" Let us go out to battle, kill the generals and capture the flag, and come back to report the good news to the heads of the enemy chieftains!"

"Good!" Lu Xiangsheng applauded loudly, and all the generals around him also cheered in unison.

The army's morale is available, and Lu Xiangsheng will naturally not dampen morale. He said loudly: "General Wang, this governor is here to fight for you, waiting for the good news!"

He shouted: "Come here, pour a glass of strong wine for General Wang!"

Immediately, a personal guard came up and poured a bowl full of wine, Lu Xiangsheng received it with both hands, and handed it to Wang Pu himself.

Wang Pu took the wine bowl, raised his head, and poured the whole bowl of wine into his mouth, more than half of which spilled down his clothes.

Wang Pu shouted loudly: "Have fun!"

He slammed the wine bowl to the ground, and slammed the red tassel on his helmet, making Wang Dou worry that his helmet would fly off, but luckily he didn't.

With a proud face, Wang Pu cupped his fists at Lu Xiangsheng, and left without saying a word.He controlled the reins in one hand, and held a horse lance in the other. He led a few personal guards, let the horses run wildly all the way, and ran back to his army formation. .

A few steps away from his front, Wang Pu raised the reins abruptly, and his horse almost leaned back into the air as the horse neighed.However, Wang Pu was still holding the rein with one hand and the lance with the other, and with the dancing cloak and cloak, he had a majestic posture of leaping horse and spear.

Wang Dou was amazed, this kind of skillful horsemanship, he thought he could not do it.

Wang Pu rode his horse and galloped in front of his formation, raised his gun and shouted: "I am in the same army!"

"mighty!"

"I am in the same army!"

"mighty!"

"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"

All the guns protruded densely, and the morale of the soldiers in Datong Town was greatly encouraged by Wang Pu.

"Boys, kill slaves!"

Wang Pu's eyes were wide open, and he pointed at the direction of the Qing soldiers with his horse in his hand, and shouted hoarsely.

"Wan Sheng!"

Wang Pu took the lead, carrying his horse and charging forward. Thousands of cavalrymen from Datong Town followed Wang Pu and rushed out of the army formation.

"Slave killing!"

The ground seemed to be trembling, and the cavalry in Datong Town spread out for thousands of miles. Headed by Wang Pu, they lined up in a tight formation and charged straight into the Qing army formation.The Qing soldiers over there seemed to be in a commotion, but they didn't expect the Ming army to be so strong, so they dispatched hundreds of people to fight.

Soon, the two groups of cavalry collided together, and even from a distance, their tragic battle scene could be seen.Wang Dou's heart was full of enthusiasm. This kind of cavalry battle, where one cavalry gallops and thousands of cavalry follow behind, is too easy to make people's blood surge.

Their combat is completely different from that of infantry.

Even from a distance, Wang Dou could also see the battle scene of Wang Pushe forgetting his life. Although this guy has a bad record in history, he is not a simple person who can be the commander-in-chief of a town.He must not underestimate the heroes of the world, Wang Dou secretly warned himself.

Lu Xiangsheng also watched the fierce struggle over there. He saw that Wang Pu was always fighting at the front. Under his encouragement, the Ming soldiers in Datong Town also fought bravely, and no one retreated timidly.Lu Xiangsheng was very pleased and couldn't help nodding.

Seeing that Wang Pu was in a bitter battle, the Qing soldiers over there showed faint signs of retreating. From the side of the army formation, there were waves of cheers, which finally converged into a majestic "Wan Sheng!" sound.Wang Pu's valiant fighting was a great encouragement to the sergeants in Xuanda Sanzhen.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw that the Qing soldiers were about to retreat, he shouted: "Today, we will wipe out all these slaves. Soldiers, it's time to kill the thieves and serve the country. Follow me!"

His huge whistling sound seemed to overwhelm the howling cold wind, and there was another sound of victory. The remaining thousands of Xuanda cavalry followed Lu Xiangsheng and rushed forward.

……

Lu Xiangsheng took the lead. He was still dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, riding on the very handsome white war horse Wu Mingji, and the fine iron sword weighing dozens of catties in his hand was only pointing forward.Behind him, thousands of war horses gathered into a galloping torrent of steel, just rolling forward.

The horses galloped, and the sound of iron hooves seemed to shake the ground violently.On the galloping horse, Wang Dou also fluttered his iron fine spear, shouting to gallop.It seems that since he was a defensive officer, he has never taken the lead, and he has not used this iron fine spear since it was made.It was the first time for Wang Dou to feel very excited as he rushed to the front of his own cavalry and followed closely behind Lu Xiangsheng.

Although the Shunxiang army does not advocate this style of play where the chief general charges forward, it is undeniable that this style of play is very masculine and masculine. In the era of cold weapons, this kind of behavior is unparalleled in boosting the morale of the army.
