In ordinary people, they had no chance of winning against enemy soldiers who were dozens of times their own, but the Zhongxiao Army did it. After Puchaguannu found out the position of the Mongolian army camp, he first paralyzed the Mongolian army by false surrender, causing the Mongolians to be neglected. Then he led his army to kill the Mongolian army under the cover of night, and quickly came to the Wangjia Temple area to launch a raid on the Mongolian army that was camping on the backs.

Due to the large number of soldiers and the Mongolian army camps, the Mongolian army camps were too dense, which was not conducive to the large group of cavalry rushing. The Mongolian army, caught off guard, was in panic by the Zhongxiao army. But after all, the Mongolian army had a great advantage in military strength and quickly stabilized its position. Seeing that the frontal raid was difficult, Puchaguannu sent another 60 or 70 people on a small boat, and went around from the water to the rear of the Mongolian army camp, landed with "flying muskets", burned the wooden fence and launched another raid on the Mongolian army.

As for the history of firearm development, flying muskets are really very primitive firearms. The flames emitted are difficult to cause fatal damage to people. At most, they are just scary, causing some burns and iron sand shot out by the "bullet nest" caused minor injuries, and their damage is even far less than that of crossbows. The Mongolians lacked experience in dealing with firearms. They suddenly saw the smoke of gunpowders, and their tongues were terrified of fear. In addition, they were attacked by both sides and back at night, and they did not know the number of enemy soldiers, which led to the collapse of the camp. Everyone trampled on each other and killed each other, and the large group of people completely collapsed. In the battle, the commander of the Mongolian army, Sagis Buhua, was killed in battle, and more than 3,000 Mongolian soldiers were all killed or drowned.

After succeeding, Pu Chaguannu quickly turned to attack the Han army camp of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. The specific battle situation was not recorded, but it led to the death of Dong Jun, the Marquis of the Han army, and Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze fled in a hurry. However, Zhao Bing estimated that the Zhongxiao Army must have used long-range firearms such as rockets to ignite warships, and then raided in the chaos, so that such great results could be achieved. Of course, it also showed that the Zhongxiao Army was almost invincible and omnipotent.

The Zhongxiao Army, which achieved the victory of Guide through this battle, then flashed like a meteor, flashing after it emitted a dazzling light. This once-famous all-round force also faded out of people's vision, leaving only the words and words of the previous notes, and was passed down in the army like a legend, but never appeared in official history.

Just because of the firearms, Wang Yinglin judged that this Mongolian Yuan army that severely damaged the Duge army was the Zhongxiao Army. Because the Mongolian Yuan army participating in the war had only about a thousand men, they defeated the Duge army with a force of 5,000; and this unit equipped firearms on a large scale to form an established special force. Both points are in line with the characteristics of the Zhongxiao Army, but Zhao Bing thought it was possible, but not necessarily.

It is only fifty years since the demise of the Jin Dynasty. For the Mongolians who are good at recruiting opponents' troops, it is not difficult to embrace the Zhongxiao Army, a child without a mother. The members of the Zhongxiao Army are from multiple ethnic groups and have high salaries. In Zhao Bing's view, they look more like mercenaries. Naturally, they do not have the concept of loyalty to the motherland. It is natural to devote themselves to another employer. This may also be one of the reasons for the sudden disappearance of the Zhongxiao Army.

After all, the Battle of Guide was the victory of the Zhongxiao Army, and no one who would not die was left, so the Mongolian Yuan completely used them and established a new army according to the model of the Zhongxiao Army. As for this, it is not certain, because according to the war report, the Mongolian Yuan was under the banner of the guards' personal army, and the firearms used were not the original firearms such as the flying muskets of the past. There are two main types of "new" firearms:

One is like a cannon, with a body length of more than one foot, but the diameter of the gun is like the mouth of a bowl, nearly four inches, more than one-third of the length of the cannon body. It is loaded on a special cannon cart to fire, with a sound as loud as thunder, and the projectile is as big as a fist, but the range is not far, less than a hundred steps; the other is a hand-held firearm, but not a "flying musket", but a copper cylinder, about one foot long, and then there is a wooden handle for holding. It is filled with iron sand or iron balls, and it is urged with gunpowder, and it can penetrate the armor by about thirty steps.

According to the description of the battle report, Zhao Bing had two weapons, "bowl" and "soft gun" in his mind. Both are the most primitive forms when metal body-barrel firearms appear. They are fired with fuses, and inevitably have many shortcomings such as short range, poor accuracy, and slow loading speed. They are also very different when used. Usually, the cannons fire stone or iron bullets, and sometimes they also fire pebbles or small metal bullets. They have wide openings, short gun body, and not very high accuracy, so they are suitable for melee battles within about fifty steps.

In addition, although this unit is equipped with weapons, it is not a single type of troops. It is followed by crossbowmen and spearmen to fight in concert. When fighting, the cannon fires first, then the crossbows are fired, and when approaching, it fires a handgun, and finally it uses cold weapons to fight. Firearms first, then traditional medium-range weapons, and finally melee weapons tactics are the standard tactics in the era of alternating hot and cold weapons, which is also the correct way for the development of weapons history. Even so, Zhao Bing was surprised. His arrival did affect the historical process, allowing the Mongols to master the firearm manufacturing technology and the mixed combination of hot and cold weapons nearly a hundred years in advance.

But it was normal for Zhao Bing to think about it. His arrival advanced the firearm war hundreds of years, both the Weiyuan cannon and the flintlock rifle should have only appeared in modern times. His early intervention also stimulated technological innovation in disguise. The Mongolian and Yuan dynasties were also a nation that loved learning. In the war with the Song and Jin dynasties, they were exposed to hot weapons and were defeated repeatedly in the war with themselves. It was impossible not to seek to make hot weapons.

Imitation is of course the most convenient way. Although Zhao Bing strictly kept the confidentiality system at the beginning of manufacturing gunpowder and guns, each process was made separately so that the craftsmen could not be familiar with each process, and required soldiers to properly protect their weapons, and should not leave weapons on the battlefield during battle. In extraordinary circumstances, weapons must be destroyed first. However, with large-scale production and assembly, more and more people participated, and the number of people was not less than hundreds of thousands, and some secrets on the firearms would inevitably be leaked.

However, the technology tree is not that easy to climb. It is a huge system project. Without the guidance of a cheating figure like Zhao Bing, it would be so easy for the craftsmen of the Mongolian Yuan to imitate flintlock guns and cannons. First of all, they do not have the formula of gunpowder and cannot create powerful gunpowder; secondly, they do not understand the principles of weapons and cannot design independently; in addition, they lack production equipment and technology, and cannot create usable metal materials.

Therefore, it was extremely difficult for the Mongolian Yuan craftsmen to imitate the firearms used by the Song army at present. Therefore, even if they had samples, they could only create a "castrated" version of the firearms, which were far from the firearms equipped by the Song army. However, in order to be used in actual combat, they could only creatively adopt the tactics of mixing cold weapons and hot weapons. In the battle with the Song army, Du Ge's army was beaten into a frightened bird by the firearms, and he was disorganized when he heard the sound of cannons. Zhao Bing estimated that this was the reason for his defeat. If he really sacrificed his life to fight, it would not be certain who would win and lose when the troops were superior.

Even though this "Divine Army" suddenly emerged from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty still had the combat power of the Zhongxiao Army, Zhao Bing was not worried. He also had all-round troops such as the personal guard brigade, the guard battalion, and the operation team of the Affairs Bureau. If some land brigades were expanded, the combat power of the mountain brigades was not inferior to that. Moreover, in the era when his side fully equipped with firearms, even if the combat capabilities of individual soldiers and small teams were strong, they could not compete with the firearms, and they could not affect the direction of the entire battle situation. We must worry that they were only damaging the traffic and logistics supply lines, as well as attacks against military generals and small troops.

Therefore, the emergence of the Mongol Yuan firearms troops did not interfere with Zhao Bing's determination, but the failure of the Duge army made the plan to capture Suzhou fail, which increased the difficulties for the troops to advance to Yingtian Prefecture. Moreover, the speed of the enemy's advance on the western route exceeded his expectations. Therefore, after agreeing on the Xuzhou combat plan, Zhao Mengjin immediately returned, and the troops were sent to Xia Pi. Ni Liang led his troops to Suzhou to fight to support the enemy...

When Zhao Bing was ambitiously preparing to march into the Central Plains, Zhen Jin, who was far away in Dadu, was in a mess and filled his chest with grief and anger, but had no choice but to vent his anger on the decorations all over the house, smashing the hall into a mess. In order to defend the capital and prevent the Southern Dynasties from moving north, Zhen Jin was mobilizing the guards' personal army to move south while mobilizing the Zongwang army on the grassland to move south. One was to fill the empty forces in the capital area after the guards' personal army was transferred away; the other was to support the guards' personal army to move south in order to complete it.

However, after Zhenjin issued the order, the Zongwang Army did not obey the order. Of course, it was not a strong resistance. Instead, it was a big blow to him, saying that the grassland was suffering from cold disasters, and a large number of war horses and livestock died. The people of the tribe were unable to prepare war horses and weapons, and requested the allocation of food and money. In short, it was just the money. But Zhenjin was really out of money now, and he had almost given all his money to the court for his personal army to go south for the guards.

However, the reasons raised by the sect kings also made the real gold unable to argue, because he also knew that the military system of this dynasty was actually similar to the government system of the Tang Dynasty. Mongolian soldiers needed to bring their own weapons, armor, horses, etc., but there was no field distributed by the government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and no military pay. Therefore, ordinary Mongolian soldiers participated in wars more like doing business, investing in advance, and using spoils to recover their investment and earn profits.

But in the eyes of Mongolian nobles, ordinary Mongolians are just small shareholders who depend on their own profits and losses. How they live depends entirely on themselves, and they do not consider the interests of ordinary Mongolians too much from the perspective of the entire Mongolian nation. During the Mongolian Western Expedition, as recruiting soldiers, ordinary Mongolians had to participate in the war, and many poor Mongolians had to sell their children and daughters in order to raise equipment.

In order to maintain the stability of the Longxing Land, the Yuan Dynasty had to provide relief to the left-behind people almost every year. The main princes and princes of the Kulitai Conference also stayed on the grassland. In order to stabilize these princes and nobles, they established a "gift system". There were many kinds of gifts, such as ascension, rule, longevity, emblem, enjoyment, promotion, enthronement, military merits, marriage and funerals, etc., but after losing the tax cuts, it was already a lot of arrears...
