[Chapter 423] The autumn wind swept through the fallen leaves! The whole army gathered!

(0423)

In fact, in terms of absolute number, the losses of the Diaoqi Army, Eagle Cavalry, and Mastiff Cavalry are nothing. The losses of the Diaoqi Army and Eagle Cavalry are at most three or four hundred people. Their range of activities is very large and the personnel are very scattered. There are only so many people that Wang Xia can concentrate. As for the losses of the Mastiff Cavalry, it is estimated that it is about five hundred people. For a unit with 1,500 people, the basic skeleton is still there and the basic vitality is still there.

For a unit, as long as the skeleton is still there and the vitality is still there, it is not harmful. Such a battle greatly trains the troops. The key to combat effectiveness is not the number of personnel or equipment, but whether it has experienced the test of life and death. Only after experiencing the test of death can people be considered mature. Only when people mature can the troops be considered truly mature. After the battle is over, many combat backbones can be promoted to officers on the spot, and use their experience to bring out more troops.

It is entirely possible for a squad leader like Hu Yishan to be a squadron leader in the future or even form a new force. To be honest, opening a military academy will be too slow to achieve results. Even if you start a class now, it will take at least two years to graduate from the first batch of students. In the early stage, talents must be discovered from actual combat. Moreover, the students recruited in the front must be selected from the troops to ensure their absolute leadership over the troops.

"Mao Shisan, take people to find Wang Xia." Xu Xingxia ordered decisively.

Wang Xia resolutely gave the opportunity to survive to the Mastiff Cavalry, which moved Xu Xingxia very much. Such an officer must find a way to save him. His spirit is a huge wealth of the White-Clothed Army. If he is used well, such a precious wealth can become part of the White-Clothed Army's military spirit. The Leopard Cavalry led by Mao Shisan is also 1,500 people, and it is estimated that the maximum number of people chasing Wang Xia will be about 3,000 or 4,000. If both sides meet, they can definitely fight. As long as Wang Xia and the others are still alive, they can be rescued.

"I understand!" Mao Shisan immediately took the Leopard Cavalry.

Mao Shisan was also a Ranger and had a good relationship with Wang Xia. Wang Xia was in prison this time, so of course he had to desperately rescue him. The Leopard Cavalry Army led by him could indeed perform such a task. They had combat experience. There was no unit around Xu Xingxia, and he had combat experience on the prairie, which was as rich as the Leopard Cavalry Army.

"Have the battlefield been cleaned up? How many prisoners have been captured?" Xu Xingxia asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, the battlefield has been basically counted, and there are 39 prisoners. However, six of them were injured too seriously and they are probably unable to be rescued." Liu Heng replied cautiously.

"Forget it, if you can't save others, you must take good care of others and don't let them have any accidents. In addition, be careful not to stimulate their emotions too much, and do not humiliate them, so as not to find a way to commit suicide. These people should be kept as much as possible, which will be useful to us. In the future, you must exchange the captives." Xu Xingxia said slowly.

"I understand." Liu Heng nodded, indicating that he knew.

"Each troops try to catch some living things." Xu Xingxia gave special instructions,

"I understand! Try to catch the living!" Zhang Quanfu, Lin Dacheng, Xia Kewu, Zhang Feng, Liu Chuang and others responded one after another and sent orders one after another. In fact, Xu Xingxia's orders were not needed, they all did this because they were all worried about Wang Xia and the others' safety.

I hope that Wang Xia and the others are still alive. As long as they are alive, there is a way. Even if they fall into the hands of the *** people, as long as they are alive, there is a way. This way is to use as many *** people as possible to exchange Wang Xia and the others for their return. If Wang Xia and the others are unfortunately killed and their bodies are in the hands of the *** people, they must find a way to exchange them for them and bury them properly.

Since the war, exchanging prisoners has become an unwritten rule for both sides of the war. Although the Han army has always not advocated exchanging prisoners, and has a sense of contempt for the prisoners. Daily education has instilled the concept of death rather than being a prisoner. They would rather commit suicide than be a prisoner. Later, there was a special glory bullet. However, the exchange of prisoners in private has never stopped, but it was never made public. The prisoners who were exchanged are often disbanded and quickly disappeared into the vast crowd.

In the past, the Ming army had never captured Tatars or ***ers, and they were not qualified to exchange them. But now, it is almost impossible to capture the Tatars and ***ers. Especially in such a war, there must be many injured and captured ***ers. Before, when the White Army fought against the Tatars, if they wanted to capture the captives, they could also be captured. However, those Tatars who were supposed to be captured were killed on the spot by angry slaves.

This time, Xu Xingxia brought seven troops, including the Knights, the Xiongqu Army, the Leopard Cavalry, the Dragon Cavalry, the Tiger Cavalry, the Wolf Cavalry, and the Hunting Cavalry, and the Hunting Cavalry. It can be said that all the troops he could draw were drawn out. All the mobile troops on the southern line were drawn out. All the troops originally stationed in Bayannur Grassland were also drawn out. And behind the Heishan Camp, new troops such as the Qin Cavalry and the Han Cavalry were also being constructed in full swing to prevent sudden unexpected situations.

In a sense, this is basically a one-time deal. If you win, you will have everything. There are chassis, personnel, resources, and wealth. If you lose, you will have to live a difficult life. Now the Leopard Cavalry has gone to rescue Wang Xia, and the remaining troops are all around Xu Xingxia, and there are more than 8,000 people. With such a strong force, fighting with the *** people, it is definitely a collision with the earth, which is very fierce!

What does the White Army need most now? It is time! The White Army needs more time to stabilize the internal ruling order and clear the management structures at all levels. The White Army needs more time to produce more weapons and equipment. The White Army needs more time to train a sufficient number of new recruits. As long as there is enough time, the White Army will not lack equipment or soldiers. The most optimistic estimate is that in three months, more than 8,000 Sun and Moon guns can be produced and 8,000 new musketeers will be added. Such a speed of explosive soldiers is absolutely unprecedented.

Xu Xingxia's fighting style this time was completely different from before. This time, he was fighting in a group. All the troops gathered together to form a huge hedgehog. In the middle of the troops, there was also a mule-horse-shaped engineering battalion and artillery battalion. The main task of the engineering battalion was to set up camps in the field and set up obstacles. The main task of the artillery battalion was naturally to shoot explosive packs and deal with the human sea tactics against the *** cavalry.

The speed of the large army will not be very fast. This is also the fundamental reason why they are late. If the troops are dispersed, someone will arrive at the battlefield faster. However, Xu Xingxia is determined to fight Lin Danhan and will not disperse his troops. It must be known that the use of muskets must be concentrated to provide maximum lethality. Simply put, it depends on the number. Whether it is a rifled gun or a smoothbore gun, it is the same.

In the eyes of nomadic people, there is nothing terrible about one hundred or one thousand muskets. The volley of one thousand muskets cannot stop the attack of the nomadic people's cavalry. However, ten thousand or ten thousand muskets are enough to destroy them. In later generations, cavalry committed suicide when facing machine guns. In the era without machine guns, they could only use the number of people to make up.

Isn’t Lin Danhan going to have a decisive battle? Then come on!

...

"Bang bang bang!"

Since Xu Xingxia brought the main army of the White-Clothed Army to the prairie, the situation on the prairie has immediately changed tremendously. Almost every day, a large number of gunfires have appeared. From morning to night, it has never stopped. With every gunshot, there are always some cavalrymen who fall under the guns of the White-Clothed Army. They are like dust floating in the air, and they are all gone by the strong wind.

In front of the White-clothed Army of Tens of thousands, any sporadic number of cavalry, even the thousands of cavalry, once they fall into the range of the White-clothed Army's muskets, will be ripped into pieces after a volley. After the second round of volleys, basically no one can stand still. Isn't it a joke to have more than 8,000 muskets?

But in order to catch up with the cavalry of the White Clothing Army, the number of cavalry was also very scattered, which led to the inability of their troops to concentrate. If the *** people took advantage of the loopholes in the White Clothing Army before, then now, the Objects were exploiting the loopholes in the White Clothing Army. The White Clothing Army was like a sickle, harvesting all the people.

Before he knew it, this giant led by Xu Xingxia had killed more than 4,000 cavalrymen and rescued a considerable number of their own people. The number of captives gradually increased, and finally exceeded 500.

...

"Xu Xingxia, are you finally here?" Lin Danhan sneered slightly.

Xu Xingxia, this bastard, finally got it! It’s OK! We two must do a real battle. Let’s see if your white-clothed army musketeer is powerful, or my iron spear cavalry is powerful! I dare to rob a woman from me, I don’t know if I have any life or death!

"The whole army gathers together! Prepare for battle!" Lin Danhan issued a decisive battle order.

All the people who received the order gathered in Lin Danhan's golden camp.

Since the *** people began to concentrate, the white-clothed army naturally began to concentrate. The Eagle Cavalry, Eagle Cavalry, Mastiff Cavalry and other troops around the battlefield all gathered towards Xu Xingxia's location.

...

White Tiger Swallow is a small lake in the prairie. This lake only forms a lake in summer. In the dry season, it is a small swamp. In May, the white Tiger Swallow has a pool of clear water at the bottom of the lake, but it is drought around it.

On the east side of the White Tiger Ze, two armies confronted each other. In the north, there was the largest army led by Lin Danhan. In the south, there was the white-clothed army commanded by Xu Xingxia.

The atmosphere on the battlefield was so depressing that it seemed to be about to twist out the water.

The war is about to break out.
Chapter completed!
