The sound of hooves roared, and five black and gray tracks rushed closer and closer on the grass.

Soon, a team of agile cavalry rushed up the hillside like a whirlwind, and then they tied the reins of the horses, and a sound of horses neighing and a rhythmic sound.

The knights stopped the horses. They were all fierce and quick, with sharp eyes. However, they were newly built Xin'anzhuang Jiuye Cavalry Team. Except for Li Ruwan, they had fifty people, all of whom were escorts from the original Feiyun Escort Agency.

They have been escorting for many years and have been trained by Jiu Ye for many years. Needless to say, they can do this horsemanship immediately. They often encounter bandits and fight with bandits on the way, and they have rich experience in fighting bloody battles. What they lack is the military formation and battle.

However, after entering the village, they practiced with the team soldiers for more than a month, and their teams also improved.

Therefore, although they are not many, they are rushing like thousands of troops and majestic.

Seeing the cavalry team's tough and quick appearance, people on and off the mountain all looked envious, and they looked angry, and they rode their horses and galloped. Who wouldn't yearn for it?

Jiu Ye jumped off the horse and stepped on the grass with heavy horse boots, as if the ground was shaking.

Because he temporarily borrowed the equipment of the Sentinel Team, he was dressed in gray felt, cotton armor, and black cloak. Although the iron-inserted cotton armor was not as heavy as the iron armor, it weighed twenty kilograms. However, at this time, the twenty kilograms of cotton armor were covered with nothing.

He got off the horse and handed over the squadron flag to a knight next to him, but he held it himself.

Then his eldest son Qian Likui, daughter Qian Sanniang, Li Ruwan and others jumped off the horses one after another.

After Qian Sanniang got off the horse, she turned the pistol with both hands flexibly in her hands for a few times, and then inserted it into the holster with a casual look, but she learned the trick of Yang He playing the gun that day.

When Master Jiu looked back at the team, he saw that all the cyclists had got off the horses, but many people were joking and making noises. He couldn't help but frown and shouted: "Silent!"

Immediately his team was silent.

Although the cavalry team is strong, the members are all the original stintsmen. They have always been accustomed to being casual, and it is impossible to change much in just over a month when entering the village.

But Master Jiu looked rough and delicate on the outside, but he paid great attention to this.

He had a fair reputation in the escort agency, and the escorts all obeyed him. In terms of discipline, Jiu Ye was very restrained.

Seeing that the team remained calm, Jiuye Qian Zhongyong nodded with satisfaction, and then brought his eldest son Qian Likui and daughter Qian Sanniang, the two team deputy strode over.

Li Ruwan followed Qian Sanniang in a escort manner. They dressed almost the same as Jiu Ye, with gray felt, cotton armor, black cloak, and two dozen pounds of iron-inlaid cotton armor on them, as if nothing had happened.

Then Qian Likui also dressed up and had cotton armor. This month, he produced twelve pairs of iron-inlaid cotton armor. The cavalry team had nine mates, Jiuye, Qian Likui, Qian Sanniang, Li Ruwan, and then the fifth mates, and the others in the equipment team.

Yang He originally planned to equip his fourth son Qian Lijue with a pair, but Jiu Ye took the lead and distributed it to another escort in the team.

His reason is very simple. This escort has higher skills. He is more qualified to own this pair of cotton armor than his fourth son.

The armored village was quite nervous, but fortunately, Xin'an's hand guns were enough. The sentry team divided eleven shots, Yang He left one by himself, and the remaining thirty-eight shots were given to the cavalry team. Some of them could ride and shoot, and some were good at using hand crossbows, which was enough.

Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan each had two hand guns, shooting guns from left to right, becoming a unique scenery of the cavalry team.

At this time, the second girl followed the Jiu Ye and strode over. Qian Sanniang especially held a heavy sword and brought two hand guns with her, which was quite conspicuous. Her felt hat was pressed low, only her bright eyes were exposed. The black fleece hoop riding boots stepped on the grass, agile and powerful.

Yang He saw that her walking posture was quite cold. As her waist twisted, the black cloak trembled and raised lightly. He was heroic and more convex and concave devilish figure, so he couldn't help but look at her waist and long legs.

But when he saw Qian Sanniang glance at him, her eyelashes trembled and she lowered her eyes lightly.

Yang He also turned his eyes away and saw Li Ruwan following her, swaying and swaying, occupying a large position. He was wearing a heavy short axe on his waist, and two hand guns were inserted between his waist, holding his head and cloak. His expression was even more arrogant than a man.

Soon, the Jiuye and others came over. At this time, the important officers gathered on the top of the mountain, including Minister Yang, Han Daxia, Central Officer Zhang Songtao, Captain Chen Qiuao, Deputy Chief Han Guaner, General Yang Qian, Luo Xianjue and others, as well as Cui Lu, Sheng Santang, Li Jiale and others.

Everyone was filled with the mountains, most of them were wearing iron armor, armor leaves, and big red cloaks, and a dazzling red light from the army was seen.

Jiu Ye approached and bowed to Yang He with his fists. Qian Likui, Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan were also holding their fists behind him.

Yang He smiled and said, "Jiu Ye is exempted from gifts. The cavalry team has seen more and more power over the past month."

Jiuye Qian Zhongyong laughed and said, "It depends entirely on the support of his husband. The horses in the village are so well-produced that every horse in the team is fat, so he has the strength to run and fight."

Yang He also smiled. Jiu Ye brought forty-five war horses. After more than a month of drills, he provided them according to the wartime horse materials, six cents of beans and four cents of hay. With such supply, horses were equivalent to eating meat dishes every day, so naturally they would run fast.

In the past, in addition to the higher standards of horse-drawn beans for pulling carts, Jiuye and others often had low proportions of horse-drawn beans. Sometimes when they were nervous, they couldn't even eat hay. If the horses were allowed to eat grass, the endurance would not be strong and the distance was not far.

The supply in Xin'an Village is so good, to be honest, Master Jiu is very satisfied.

At this time, Minister Yang shouted: "Master Jiu, your horsemanship is so good. When will you help me, Lao Yang practice?"

Jiuye Qian Zhongyong laughed and said, "My ministers and brothers taught by Mr. Yang. This horseman is already very skilled. How can Qian teach? But if we take the time, we can discuss and ask each other for advice."

Then Jiuye clasped his fists and greeted Han Daxia and others, and was so proud that he was very proud.

He has been on the ward for many years, and 60% of him rely on black and white to admire his face. If he can avoid conflict, he will not conflict. So although he looks rough and generous, he has very strong communication skills. Not long after he entered the bank, he got along well with the important leaders in the bank.

...

After waiting for a while, I arrived in panting and came over in a hurry. Pei Pochuan and Ling Zhanyun followed helplessly. With their equestrian skills, it was about to arrive early, but the members of the sentry team had to jog with their brothers.

The staff arrived and everyone discussed the gains and losses of the drill. They surrounded Yang He and Qian Sanniang also stood beside Master Jiu.

She was a little careless in this kind of discussion in the past few times and played with her own pistol, but maybe she was very careful about what Master Jiu said to her.

Although she still stood quietly and didn't speak, she listened very carefully to every word and sentence that everyone said, and thought about Yang He's words.

Han Daxia looked proud. He was very satisfied with the results of this month's drill and said in a muffled voice: "My husband, my brothers' army array is already very good. I am sure of it. Not to mention ordinary bandits, even if a large bandit is coming, don't try to break through our battle formation!"

Mr. Yang Qian and Luo Xianjue immediately agreed, and Zhang Songtao, Chen Qiuao and others also showed proud expressions.

Master Jiu was cautious and did not speak, but he also had praise in his expression.

He was not a person who had never seen the world. At that time, the twelve cavalry of Tongzhou were rampant in the world. He had seen the array of officers and soldiers, bandits, and even the array of Tartars. In terms of the strictness of the army, the Xin'an Army was actually not inferior.

What they lack is only enough blood and murderous aura.

After all, the enemies that Xin'anzhuang has fought are all bandits. For the time being, there have not been enough wars and fierce battles.

However, Jiu Ye believes that it is indeed difficult to break through the Xin'an Army's battle formation if faced with a moderate number of bandits and attacked head-on.

This month, Jiu Ye also felt a lot. This strict battle formation was rare in the Ming Dynasty. The sharp firearm in Xin'anzhuang made him even more amazed.

Of course, Jiu Ye has seen the live ammunition drills of the team soldiers, and he is always frightened. The power of the volley is difficult for the bandits and bandits, not to mention the bandits and bandits, even the Tartars are unable to bear it.

There is also the loading speed, which is extremely fast. It is completely different from the bird guns of officers and soldiers or the firearms elsewhere in the Ming Dynasty. However, it uses breeze loading. Just in place, the platoons are fired in a row after a while, and each watch is shocking.

Then put the lead, medicine and gunpowder in a paper shell, which was the first time I saw it.

Master Jiu asked, this kind of breech bird gun called "Xin'an Gun" costs eight to ten taels of silver per shot. He was stunned when he heard this. I'm afraid that only Koo-gong Yang in the Ming Dynasty would be willing to spend this money.

He listened to everyone's speeches and summed ups, and then the strong and powerful middle-aged officer quickly wrote down with a pencil.

Although I have experienced it many times, I still feel a novel feeling when I listen to it now.

At this time, Master Jiu heard Minister Yang say again: "To be honest, the bandits and bandits attack our military formation head-on, and I, Lao Yang, are not afraid, but what I am worried about is the flanks. The bandits avoid us and rush from the flanks, and this matter will be difficult to deal with."

Han Daxia disagreed: "We are also protected on the wings. It is difficult for bandits to break through the front of our firearms, so the killer team can be arranged on both wings. They have heavy shield spears. How can bandits attack? Last year, they will not be able to break through our heavy shield spear formation."

Minister Yang said: "That's because the bandits rushed towards the shield and rushed towards them. If they were to the back of the side of the shield array, things would be difficult to handle. Unless we were placed in a tight and ventilated manner, or the troops could be blocked, there would always be loopholes."

He said: "And now we have chosen the terrain, with mountains and water on the back, saving some military protection, but what if it is on the flat ground?"

He said worriedly: "Just like we were practicing in Hezhuang ten days ago, there were all plains and there was not even a river, so we could only form a square formation. Our army had two hundred muskets to protect all sides, with only fifty shots on each side. There were two layers, each layer was twenty-five shots. How many thieves could be killed at a time?"

Han Daxia pondered: "That's true, so we have to choose the right terrain. If the terrain is not good, we won't fight! And the wings you mentioned, didn't you propose a solution?"

Minister Yang said angrily: "Do you think the thief is your wife, and you can cooperate with everything? Let you choose the terrain before fighting?"

Han Daxia also said angrily: "What should I do if the troops are not strong enough?"

Seeing that they were quarreling, Jiu Ye and others rushed forward to persuade him.

...

Yang He smiled. He did not stop his subordinates from quarrel over military strategies. Minister Yang also said that he was considering it.

He now has two generals, firearms team, and killer team of two hundred soldiers. Because there are few soldiers, he pays great attention to choosing the terrain. Generally, there are mountains and waters in the rear and even on one side, which can be used as a protective place.

This saves his troops, and can also concentrate all the muskets on one side to cause maximum damage.

Of course, judging which side the enemy will attack in wartime is also a knowledge, and it is quite a test of the judgment ability of his subordinates.

After all, it is not that easy to change the array after the array is laid.

Then the frontal firepower is strong and the grenade team cooperates, his killer team can be arranged on both wings, with one hundred people on the left and right, and arranged into two small square formations, each with fifty people on each square formation.

They were divided into five rows, the first row of heavy shields and the second row of spears. From a practical perspective, such a combination of enemies is very difficult to break. Basically, the heavy shields and the spearmen in the fifth row are idle.

However, considering that this formation also has a defect, it is that it is inconvenient to move and turn. After the enemy fails to impact the front, it may bypass the front of the array and attack from the side open space.

So Yang He's solution is to block the protective side of the original fourth row and the fifth row is still used as a reserve team, but they have a new task.

If the bandits come around from the side and see how many people they are, they will dispatch six, ten, twenty, and forty people. Each time, they will cooperate with heavy shields and spears. This will protect the side. Eighty people in the entire formation and forty people on each side can be used for this purpose.

Cooperating with the officers' guards, commandos and other members, the bandits that are circling around can basically block the bandits.

Of course, this is also based on the fact that the number of bandits is not too large. Otherwise, no matter how strong his army formation is, it may be broken.

His eyes swept at Minister Yang and Han Daxia. At this time, the two of them glared like fighting cocks, both of whom were blushing and thick with their necks.

The two of them were very strange, and they often quarreled, but they quickly reconciled. In general, many of Han Daxia's judgments were based on the current situation, while Minister Yang's thinking was very erratic and sharp, and he often thought of going far away places.

He glanced at everyone in front of him again, and looked at Qian Sanniang as if she was thinking. She was looking at her eyes too bright and strong, and the men she saw showed an unnatural expression.

Yang He looked at Qian Zhongyong again and smiled and said, "Your Majesty Jiu also said it."

Everyone seemed to have a prudent face, and his rough face was quite cautious.

He thought for a while and said, "My husband, my subordinates are actually the same as the ministers and brothers think. It would be best if they can choose a good terrain before the war, but things will not be so satisfactory. In the future, we will fight against each other, and we may even be... Tartars. These bandits have many cavalry and barracks, and they will be amazing in raids. Even if they can't ride and shoot, they at least have the ability to chop immediately. If we suddenly encounter them, it will be Hirano again..."

Everyone showed a worried look. This situation will not be gone in the future. Zhang Songtao said: "Under the current situation of our army, the plains will encounter it. If there are many thieves, they can only form a square camp, but the square camp..."
To be continued...
