I'm a big dick

Chapter 685 The Future of Soldiers

Grasslands, green and green, stretch as far as the eye can see.

The horseshoes were chaotic, digging up the soil and turf; the sound of killing, shouting, screaming and screaming filled the grassland.

"Kill!" The reorganized cavalry of the Ming army once again attacked the Mongols with overwhelming force.

With the wind whistling beside his ears, Gao Yingxiang squinted his eyes, half-raised the sharp saber in his hand, and charged shoulder to shoulder with the robes.

Attack, attack, attack!
The cavalry wall tactic is to go forward indomitably, there is a mountain in front of it, and it must be pushed down.

The Mongolian soldiers in the distance were already scattered. Although they were more numerous than the Ming army, they were beaten into a mess.

On the battlefield, collective strength is crucial.And the era of fierce generals killing seven in and seven out has long passed.

The Jianlu, who are better equipped and braver than the Mongols, are no match for the flying cavalry of the Ming army. How can the degraded right-wing Mongolian tribes resist?

Facing a wall of cavalry advancing, the scattered Mongols finally realized that they were doomed. Few of them dared to charge up to fight. Instead, they turned their horses and started to flee.

A cavalry wall pushed past, accompanied by the clash of weapons and the screams and neighing of men and horses, the Mongols who rushed up to fight were chopped off their horses one after another.There was also a gap in the cavalry wall, but they quickly adjusted and continued to charge forward.

Hundreds of flying cavalry galloped across the grassland in a row of three to fifty people, sweeping away the enemies.The saber was shining, blood and flesh were sprayed, and the Mongols, who were known for riding and shooting, were beaten to the ground.

boom!A volley of musket fire almost became a loud noise.

Thick white smoke rose, and the lead bullets blasted people off their backs.The spearmen who rushed to the battlefield quickly dismounted and lined up, and gave the Mongols a violent side blow in a line formation.

"Kill!" Gao Yingxiang stared wide-eyed, and with a roar, the sharp saber split open the enemy's armor, and some blood splashed on his face, but he couldn't make him blink, and kept staring at the enemy in front of him.

The sobbing horns were howling like weeping, and the Mongolian soldiers turned their horses' heads as if they were being pardoned, and fled to the distance in a panic, leaving a mess of blood all over the place.

The grassland is still vast, and there is no limit as far as the eye can see.But the retreating Mongols had already been frightened by the Ming army, and it was difficult for them to have the courage to return to their pasture.

Recovering the front set is a strategic goal, and fighting the Mongols is a deterrent.This battle can be avoided, as long as the flying cavalry of the Ming army keep chasing and fighting fiercely.

But this time the Mongols were spared, and their invasion will be dealt with next time.Only by beating them once can we buy enough time for the development and operation of the former set.

It doesn't take much, it's only six or seven months. In autumn, the local garrison should have a harvest.With food, long-term garrison became possible.

Fifteen or six thousand flying cavalry plus gun cavalry are not only galloping soldiers, but also farmers who are plowing with a lotus hoe.

Dongsheng Weicheng is close to the Yellow River, and at the junction of plains and hills, with convenient water and land transportation, which is more conducive to reclamation and development.

Gao Yingxiang heaved a sigh of relief, jumped off the horse, patted the old man's neck lightly, and led him to walk slowly.

His gaze stopped suddenly, and a wounded war horse on the grass was neighing mournfully. He tried to stand up several times, but fell down weakly.

Killing someone is nothing to Gao Yingxiang.Even with the corpse right in front of him and the wounded soldier moaning not far away, he didn't even bat an eye.

But for the injured horse, Gao Yingxiang's eyes softened.

When he got closer, he bent down and stroked the horse's head, comforting him while checking the horse's injuries.

In the end, Gao Yingxiang sighed helplessly and sadly, hesitated for a while, drew out his saber, and gave the injured horse with a broken leg a good time.

Horses have leg injuries that are difficult to treat.Even for racing horses, most of them have to be euthanized.Yes, it is that cruel.

Killing people without blinking an eye, but feeling sad for a wounded horse.People's emotions are very complicated, and so is Gao Yingxiang.

"Sir." A messenger galloped over and saluted immediately: "Your Majesty Cao has an order, and the whole team will return immediately."

"Stop chasing him?" Gao Yingxiang asked unwillingly, "Take up your horsepower, and chase him for another hundred or eighty miles, and you will surely gain something."

The messenger shook his head helplessly, and returned to deliver the order.

"Old Gao, don't be in a hurry to make meritorious deeds." A general flag surnamed Zhang came over and comforted Gao Yingxiang, "You can defeat the right-wing Mongols. When Huduntu comes over, you will have to fight!"

Gao Yingxiang smiled and said: "Then you have to drink less wine, and the mother-in-law at home is asking for money!"

"If money is tight, just say something." Zhang Zongqi said: "The problem of being extravagant must also be corrected. Treat guests every now and then. Fortunately, there are dozens of people, as if they have a lot of money."

Gao Yingxiang nodded with a wry smile, and then argued: "It's all robes, after going into battle, maybe—"

With a vigorous wave of his hand, Gao Yingxiang seemed to shake off this bad idea, and said, "Actually, the family is pretty good. The mother-in-law just wants to save more money for something urgent in the future."

"It's a way of life." Zhang Zongqi got on his horse and said, "We'll talk when we get back. A certain treat."

Gao Yingxiang chuckled, waved to Zongqi Zhang, got on his horse and summoned his subordinates to return to the army.

As for the army, the emperor treated him generously as always.In fact, that is to say, the food and wages are sufficient, and the rewards are neither delayed nor owed.

To put it bluntly, it is duty, and the soldiers should get what they get.But this was unimaginable a few years ago.

Moreover, for soldiers who want to make contributions, the emperor has also drawn a blueprint for them.Dongshengwei is just the beginning, and there will be Ningxiawei in the future, and it will have a showdown with Huduntu.

In the future, we will march into Qinghai and the Western Regions, repeating the prestige of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The emperor's plan is not very taboo, and Ningxia, Qinghai, and even parts of the Western Regions also belonged to the territory of Ming Dynasty when it was in its heyday.

Even the achievements of Taizu have not surpassed, so how can we talk about the prestige of Han and Tang Dynasties?Today's emperor is ambitious, and he has never stopped expanding territory on land and overseas.

This is the best era for soldiers, from the governors of the three sides, to the commander of a town, to ordinary officers and soldiers, they all feel this way.

Even from the perspective of supporting a family, being a soldier is a good choice.One person is a soldier, and the military salary can basically support the family.In addition, the imperial court's preferential treatment policy for military members does not even require soldiers to subsidize their families.

"It's no problem to raise to the general banner. After two more battles, it's almost a test of a hundred households." Gao Yingxiang finished his team and marched home with his subordinates, making plans in his heart.

In a blink of an eye, he thought of his nephew Li Hongji again, Gao Yingxiang grinned, and said in his heart: This is a coward, I have to do other jobs, how can I be so comfortable as a soldier with food and pay.
