The muskets used by the Daming Mountain Division are similar to those of the riding rifle, and are also short-barrels, but the difference from the riding rifle is that the jungle gun has bayonet buckles.

After all, cavalry have special sabers, but mountain soldiers do not need to have a special long sword. Moreover, the long sword in jungle combat is easily blocked, but it is not as convenient as straight stabs.

The mountain master also specially equipped a special version of whale cannon, which is a large bow and arrow with a rope.

This whale cannon can shoot 80 to 100 meters, or be used to cross mountain streams or climb cliffs. It is much safer than white pole soldiers relying on white pole to climb mountain climbing.

Rope flying claws are a must-have for everyone. In addition to muskets, Zhu Cixuan specially created a multi-functional jungle knife for them.

This kind of knife can be chopped and cut. The front is a spade-shaped cross-section, which can be used to dig pits, fine sawings can be used to quickly cut vines, and large sawings can be used to cut small trees.

There is also a small mechanism in the handle, which pops up two hooks and ties the rope to the knife ring behind the jungle knife to make a simple flying claw very practical.

Such a knife costs eight taels of silver to be sold to the bounty hunter.

In addition to these, everyone also has a lighter, insect-proof smoked bag, waterproof isolation suit, etc.

The Mountain Division is the division with the most light guns in all troops, and the largest gun is only a mountain gun of more than 300 kilograms. This kind of gun is also specially developed for the Mountain Division.

The most prominent feature is that it can be disassembled into seven parts and carried on the back. A small artillery combat flag can carry a mountain cannon and up to two bases of ammunition to cross mountains and ridges.

Such an army is definitely a weapon in mountain combat, but this time it was transferred to the Mughal Empire, it was indeed impossible to give full play to the advantages of their mountain divisions.

But Qin Liangyu came still. Seeing that others had made meritorious service and were awarded the title of general, her son was still a lieutenant colonel leader, she was very anxious.

However, the southwest chieftains were shocked by Zhu Cilang's high-pressure policy and did not dare to move around. In addition, the Ming Dynasty did not collect agricultural taxes now, so they mainly used trade with them to collect taxes.

I don’t care about them at all in normal times, and my life is even better than before. Except for asking them to send their children to school, I almost don’t care about the rest. I don’t have to offer sacrifices. Who has nothing to do to rebel?

The rebellion has no good result. The Daming Mountain Division is too powerful. You can't beat the war, but you can't even drill the mountain division even if you can't even drill the mountain division.

There was once a chieftain who planned to rebel. He decided to hold a sacrifice on the first day. That night, the Daming Mountain Master arrived. He ran away overnight, but he still didn't run away the next day.

In his territory, no one was more familiar with the terrain than him, but he couldn't escape.

So the three mountain divisions shocked the southwest and tamed the southwest chieftains in a few years. Now the second mountain division has gone to Cambodia, and the first mountain division has moved south to Mughals. The third mountain division is responsible for guarding the southwest.

Ma Xianglin led the First Regiment of the Mountain First Division as the pioneer and walked in the forefront.

Originally, the road that the mountain master took was not a deserted place. It was the ancient tea and horse road formed over thousands of years, so the road was not very good, but it did not mean reopening.

However, an emergency occurred on Zhou Yuji's side, and the military staff of the Mughals asked them to speed up, so Qin Liangyu told them not to go to Mandalay and went straight from Jiesha to the west, intending to cross an abandoned ancient road to save time.

Ma Xianglin was observing the surrounding mountains when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle. Ma Xianglin immediately stopped. Two quarters of an hour later, the advance team in front came back to report.

The soldier gasped: "Major General, there is a forest of leeches in front of him that cannot be passed through."

Ma Xianglin frowned. The leech forest is one of the most troublesome terrain in the southwest. These leechs live in trees. Once people and animals pass by, they will fall like raindrops.

Legs suck blood will release an anticoagulant substance, making the wound extremely difficult to heal. When they encounter moisture from the southwest jungle, they will be infected almost 100%.

At the least, it will be in chaos, and at the worst, it will cause high fever and even life-threatening. Although the equipment of the mountain master is very powerful, Zhu Cilang cannot produce raincoats that wrap around his body without materials.

Even if there is such a kind of clothing, leeches will still be penetrated by leeches according to the situation in later generations.

So since it cannot be solved, I can only take a detour.

Ma Xianglin opened the map and looked carefully. There was a mountain pass eight miles behind where he had just passed, and the army was behind him, so he could not hesitate.

Ma Xianglin immediately ordered: "Instruct the Third Battalion to explore the Pass No. 1372 immediately and report it every five minutes. The rear team of the entire army turned into a front team and went to Pass No. 372 to stand by."

The army began to turn in an orderly manner. There were many places passing by during the army's march. It was impossible to mark the place names and the names of the mountain passes one by one. Generally, numeric numbers are used instead.

Pass No. 1372 means that Ma Xianglin has passed more than a thousand passes along this journey.

There is no need to report such a small problem to the division headquarters. The path taken by the division headquarters must be the path that Ma Xianglin has explored and determined.

The Ma Xianglin regiment was moving forward with a lightweight force. Because it wanted to protect supplies, pack horses, and logistics troops, there was no advance regiment fast in the march.

Ma Xianglin's first regiment set out in advance again, so he was given time to change the route.

Although Ma Xianglin had just walked eight miles across the mountain pass, the advance provocate of the First Regiment had actually walked thirty miles away.

If you encounter such a place where the road ahead is blocked, the other party will blew a whistle and alert it, and let the back stop immediately. The whistle will be transmitted back little by little. Only then can Ma Xianglin know the specific situation ahead, whether to choose to detour or open a road or build a bridge.

Forwards in the forest are prone to encounter dangers when exploring the way, and various dangers often occur during the march. Every day, Ma Xianglin can receive deaths from poisonous insects, snakes, scorpions, etc.

They have become accustomed to such things.

Ma Xianglin's first vanguard is not just walking in the front. He needs to clean up roadblocks, cut down thorns, flatten upwards when encountering steep valleys, and explore upstream to ensure that there is no congestion in the upstream.

When encountering a canyon, you must climb to the top of the canyon to set up an observation post to prevent sneak attacks from above. In short, everything is carried out according to Caodian. Even if the marching is not the fastest, at least you will not be attacked by surprise.

Although the Burmese King has surrendered, Myanmar is not the Burmese King himself. Many of its places are actually under its jurisdiction in name only.

So in addition to snakes, insects, rats and ants, Ma Xianglin also needs to be careful of people. Of course, he is also looking forward to finding villages. If he can find a village that is familiar with the terrain, his path exploration behavior will save a lot of time.

Ma Xianglin just returned to No. 1372                                                         

Ma Xianglin smiled happily: "Hurry up, go find someone to ask about the terrain, Mu Cha, Mu Cha quickly follow the fifth battalion commander."
