The officers conveyed the orders, the soldiers gathered together, and the Sima Chief Company Commander counted the number of people.

All patients were handed over to the internal security forces of the Supervision and Inspection Department, and they were monitored during the war.

The infantry's backpacks were simpler. In addition to daily necessities and small felt quilts, each person had eighty paper bags of gunpowder and lead bullets, and the commander of each corps also had to carry some lead blocks and small molds.

The cavalrymen are a little more troublesome, and they need to check horseshoes, horseshoe nails, nails, hammers, etc. for each equipment to block the enemy's copper artillery door.

These cavalry are not the elite martial knights in the Jiexuan Army, but the light cavalry, with no iron armor on their bodies and only leather armor.

The standard equipment is only iron swords and no muskets. However, some officers or wealthy cavalry will still bring their own hand guns, but it is rarely used. Some people have their own daggers.

The military uniforms of these light cavalry are much more gorgeous than those of infantry, and there is also a set of wool cloaks. Most of these cavalry are standard good families, with enough land to use horse farming and have been exposed to horses since childhood.

In addition, a group of officers such as the gang captain Mi who returned from Gao Liu from Zhaodi were flooded, creating the style of these light cavalry.

Different from infantry, the proportion of professional soldiers is higher, and the land is not paid, but the monthly salary is very high.

Moreover, even if most professional soldiers retire, many chambers of commerce will rush to hire, or a group of people will meet partners with the dream of making money, and go to the border to make a fortune in the future.

Unlike the elite martial knights who were used to rush into the formation, it is most appropriate to give them the task of raiding, cutting off the rear and attacking the food road.

Moreover, in general, they are also the main force to deal with the enemy's flank cavalry. Although they can't fight against the martial knights on Si, there is no problem bullying the cavalry of the princes.

The light cavalry of the two companies left first. They had to reconnaise and open the way in front of the army, and might also deal with enemy scouts. This kind of task was most suitable for this group of people.

Three days later, three thousand such cavalry and seven thousand infantry approached Daicheng.
