Chapter 505 The future of soldiers
The grassland is green and green, and it looks endless.
The horse's hooves were mixed, digging up the soil and turf; the shouts of killing, shouts, screams, screams, screams, and screams filled the grassland.
"Kill!" The Ming cavalry, who had completed the reorganization of the troops, attacked the Mongols again with a scattered force.
The wind whistled in his ears, Gao Yingxiang narrowed his eyes, half-holding the sharp sword in his hand, and charging side by side with the robes.
Attack, attack, attack again!
The tactic of the cavalry wall is to move forward, and there is a mountain ahead, so it must be flattened and downed.
The Mongolian soldiers in the distance were already in scattered. Although they were more numerous than the Ming army, they were beaten into a mess.
On the battlefield, collective strength is crucial. The era when powerful generals can kill seven times in and seven times is long gone.
Jianlu, who were better equipped and more brave than the Mongolians, are no match for the Ming army's flying cavalry. How can the right-wing Mongolian tribes that have been severely degenerated?
Facing the advance of a wall-like cavalry, the scattered Mongols finally realized that the defeat was decided. Few dared to rush up to fight, but instead turned their horses and began to escape.
A cavalry wall was pushed by, accompanied by the fighting of weapons and the screams of people and the neighing of the Mongols, who rushed up to fight were cut down one after another. There was also a gap in the cavalry wall, but it quickly adjusted and continued to charge forward.
Hundreds of flying cavalry were galloping across the grassland in a row, sweeping away the enemy. The sabers were shining and flesh splattering, beating the Mongols, who were famous for their riding and shooting, and they were blowing away the water.
Boom! The volley of a row of muskets almost turned into a loud bang.
The thick white smoke rose, and the lead bullet shot, and the man was on the back and overturned. The spearheaded cavalry that rushed to the battlefield quickly dismounted and lined up, giving the Mongolians a fierce attack on the side.
"Kill!" Gao Yingxiang stared wide, and the sharp sabre accompanied by a roar, splitting the enemy's armor. A few blood splattered on his face, but he couldn't let him blink, and he was still staring at the enemy ahead.
The sob horns were like howling and crying, and the Mongolian soldiers were like being pardoned. They pulled their horses and fled to the distance in panic, leaving behind a mess of blood.
The grassland is still vast, and there is no boundary when you look around. However, the retreating Mongolians have been scared by the Ming army and it is difficult to have the courage to return to this pasture.
Recovering the front trap is a strategic goal, and fighting fiercely with the Mongols is a deterrent. This battle can be avoided, as long as the Ming army's flying cavalry continues to chase and fight.
But this time, the Mongols were let go and they had to deal with their invasion next time. Only by being afraid of them with a painful blow can we give the development and management of the previous trap and gain enough time.
There is no need to spend more, only six or seven months, and in autumn, the local garrison should have a harvest. With food, long-term garrisoning becomes possible.
Five or six thousand flying cavalry and spear cavalry are both soldiers galloping and rushing, and farmers carrying hoes to farm.
Dongsheng Acropolis is bordered by the Yellow River and is located at the border between plains and hills. It has convenient water and land transportation, which is more conducive to reclamation and development.
Gao Yingxiang let out a long breath, jumped off the war horse, gently patted the old man's neck, and walked slowly with it.
His eyes suddenly stopped, and a wounded war horse neighed on the grass. He wanted to stand up several times, but he fell down powerlessly.
Killing is nothing to Gao Yingxiang. Even the body was near, and there were wounded soldiers moaning not far away, without blinking.
But Gao Yingxiang's eyes softened for this injured horse.
When he approached, he bent down and stroked the horse's head, comforting him and checking the horse's injuries.
Finally, Gao Yingxiang sighed helplessly and sadly, hesitated for a moment, pulled out the saber, and gave the injured horse a pleasure.
It is difficult to treat if a horse's leg injury is injured. Even at the horse-racing level, most people need to be euthanized. Yes, it is so cruel.
Killing without blinking, but you will feel sad for a hurt horse. Human feelings are very complicated, and so is Gao Yingxiang.
"Sir." A commander came and said immediately: "Mr. Cao has an order, and the whole team will return immediately."
"Don't chase after him?" Gao Yingxiang asked unwillingly: "Stop the horsepower and chase him for a hundred or eighty miles, you will definitely win."
The messenger shook his head helplessly and returned to hand over the order.
"Old Gao, don't be anxious to make contributions." A general flag surnamed Zhang came over and comforted Gao Yingxiang, "It's enough to defeat the right-wing Mongolia. When the Tiger Dun Rabbit comes, then you have to fight!"
Gao Yingxiang smiled and said, "Then you have to drink less wine, and the wife at home wants money again!"
"If you are tight, just say something." Zhang Zongqi said: "The problem of being big-handed and big-footed must be changed. You can treat guests at any time. There are still dozens of people, as if they have a lot of money."
Gao Yingxiang nodded with a wry smile, and then defended: "It's all robes, maybe after going into battle--"
With a strong wave of his hand, Gao Yingxiang seemed to have thrown away this bad idea and said, "Actually, the family is pretty good. The woman just wants to save more money and prepare for something urgent to use in the future."
"It's an idea to live a life." Zhang President Qi turned over and said, "I'll talk to you when I go back, and I'll treat you to me."
Gao Yingxiang smiled, waved to General Zhang Qi, and also got on the horse to summon his subordinates and gathered back to the army.
The emperor treated the army as well as before. In fact, it means that the food and salary are sufficient, and the rewards are not delayed or owed.
To put it bluntly, it means duty, and the soldiers deserve everything they deserve. But just this was something they could not imagine a few years ago.
Moreover, for soldiers who want to make achievements, the emperor also drew a blueprint for them. The Dongshengwei was just the beginning, and there would be Ningxiawei in the future, and they would have to decide the victory and defeat with Huduntu.
Further down the road, we will march into Qinghai and the Western Regions, repeating the power of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The emperor's plan was not very taboo, and Ningxia, Qinghai, and even some areas in the Western Regions were also part of the Ming Dynasty when it was in its prime.
Even Taizu's achievements have not surpassed them, so how can we talk about the dignity of the Han and Tang Dynasties? Today's emperors are ambitious and have never stopped expanding their territory on land and overseas.
This is the best era for soldiers. From the governor of the three sides, to the commander of a town, to ordinary officers and soldiers, they all have this feeling.
Even if you consider supporting your family, joining the army is a good choice. If you serve as a soldier, your military pay can basically support your family. In addition, the court’s preferential policies for military families do not even need to be sold to the army to supplement the family’s income.
"It's okay to raise the flag to the general flag. If you fight another two more battles, it's almost like a hundred households." Gao Yingxiang finished the whole team and took his subordinates to go back, making plans in his mind.
In the blink of an eye, he remembered his nephew Li Hongji again. Gao Yingxiang grinned and said in his heart: This coward is determined to do other business, so how can he be so comfortable as a soldier to eat food and get salary?
