Chapter 1485

Thank you for your appreciation of "falling maple flying shadow"!

......

The density of HA lie's Rangers and scouts suddenly increased. The Ming army immediately sent a large number of cavalry to intercept. For a time, there were flames everywhere within 30 miles of Xinghe fort.

Zhu Di stood at the head of Xinghe castle, silently looking at the distance, watching the returning cavalry, and then watching the new forces attack in rotation.

There were artillery on the city head, which was also ordered by Zhu Di to withdraw to his Garrison.

This is Zhu Di's character. I don't defend. I want to attack!

Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi were also watching. At this time, in the camps on both sides, the Ming army was gearing up for attack at any time.

We can imagine the severity of the war of hundreds of thousands of people and the Scout war.

People were constantly brought back by war horses, and sometimes even several people came back with dozens of horses, and the owners of those war horses died without asking.

In the camp, the doctors were guarding at the camp gate. When they saw the wounded, they immediately began to check.

"A knife in the shoulder... I'm lucky. The blade is not deep. I've been a hero for a while."

After disinfection, dressing and dressing, the doctor patted the grinning sergeant and shouted, "next!"

Fang Xing just took a mouthful and distilled it several times, so he got the alcohol, and then promoted it as a disinfectant in Jubao mountain health.

At the moment, there is a lot of alcohol in the Daming army, and there are even more doctors here.

The next one was carried. The doctor cut open the clothes on the wounded's abdomen and said sadly, "his organs have been hurt. Ask him if he has any last wishes."

The wounded howled loudly. The two colleagues who carried him looked uncomfortable and asked him about his last wish, but the wounded only screamed and couldn't speak at all.

The doctor sighed and took out a gourd. "Give him a drink."

Without hesitation, the two sergeants fed their fellow robes. Gradually, his scream went down.

"... my daughter-in-law... Can't... Can't remarry..."

Hearing this, the doctor could not help shaking his head slightly.

"... my son is young... Remarried... Suffered... Lost..."

The hand holding his classmate's wrist suddenly loosened, then fell to the ground, trembled a few times, and there was no movement again.

Without crying or choking, the two sergeants carried their robes and walked numbly to the outside. Someone will burn them later.

Fang Xing and a Tai stood outside the camp and looked at the scene. A Tai sighed: "in the past, people of the tribe died in battle outside. If they were friendly enough, they dug a pit and buried it. Generally, they were left there and allowed to be eroded by wind and rain and animals. This is the battle array..."

"You have fallen!"

Fang Xing shook his head. "Originally you were more or less decisive, but now you will sigh for the cruelty of the battle."

A Tai said with a bitter smile: "I've seen hundreds of thousands of troops in the war, even if it's just an outpost war, I think it's better to be a rich man, otherwise I'll die sooner or later."

The sound of horses' hoofs in the distance was so fast that Fang woke up and turned around. Seeing a team of cavalry flying towards Xinghe castle, he said, "it is estimated that there is the news of HA lie's main army. Go back."

……

"Your Majesty, the army of Hari is encamped fifty miles away."

Zhu Di looked at the hundred family officials who were stained with blood and said, "OK."

The hundred household officials raised their heads and said happily, "Your Majesty, those Hari people are everywhere. They can't see the edge. The ministers just walked around half a circle. It is estimated that there can be more than 500000 people."

Zhu Di nodded, and Baihu officials went down happily.

It's easy to say half a circle, but everyone knows that the cost is estimated to be almost the same as the total loss of the army.

Zhu Di touched the city brick and said, "it seems that it's almost as I estimated. The strength of the Hari people will not exceed 350000."

For an expedition of this scale, civilian men and Sergeants are at least one to one, and a considerable number of people and horses have to transport food and grass all the way.

Hearing the silence around him, Chu Di asked, "are you afraid?"

After several contact wars, the impression of the valiant people of Hari has been shaped in everyone's mind.

Yang Rong glanced at Wu Xun and stepped back with Yang Shiqi.

Zhang Fu was the first to say, "Your Majesty, you are not afraid of more than 100000."

Zhu Yong also said, "Your Majesty, no matter how many people there are, can they be more powerful than the previous Mongolian Yuan people?"

Meng Ying said more aggressively, "Your Majesty, we can preempt!"

Zhu Di glanced at him, glanced at Fang Xing who came up and asked, "what do you think?"

Suddenly, a sour smell filled the city. People turned around one after another and looked at Fang Xing who was stunned.

"There should be about 300000 harites."

Zhu Di's face was cold and solemn, but he gave everyone great confidence.

"What do you think of the war?"

Fang woke up and approached: "Your Majesty, the battle will be very bloody. The number of people on both sides is about the same. There is no surprise attack. You can only line up the formation and fight it step by step. Therefore, I think the key to this battle is the exertion of firearms and the maintenance of morale."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the generals at the head of the city immediately became subtle.

"Xing Hebo, does this war depend on the firearm guard?"

Xinning Bo Tan Zhong couldn't help questioning.

"If there were no firearms guard, would Daming have to lose the war? Then only Shenji camp was in his Majesty's several northern expeditions."

Liu Sheng lay on the gun, smiled bitterly and said, "Xinning Bo and Xinghe Bo mean that the firearm guard is a strange soldier."

Tan Zhongben just questioned. When he heard Liu Sheng's words, he blushed and said, "can I rest later?"

Zhu Di looked at the scene coldly, but didn't speak.

If he spoke and pressed down, although he had nothing to do for the time being, the contradiction was intensified.

Facing the challenge, Fang Xing said calmly: "most of the previous defenses were close combat, but with guns and artillery, it became possible to resist the enemy beyond the range of bows and arrows. If this battle was according to the previous fighting method, it would be to pile up with human life and accumulate a victory or defeat."

No one can question Fang Xing's words. The previous battle was close combat until one side completely collapsed.

But with the firearm army, under the protection of cavalry, they can firmly suppress the enemy within a certain distance, so as to win the initiative.

"The artillery can disrupt the enemy's formation from a long distance, but at a short distance, the artillery's shotgun and firegun volley can provide a steady stream of interception ability. I dare ask you, does the weight of the firearm matter?"

In the face of criticism, Fang Xing could have turned around, but he couldn't and didn't want to show weakness.

These people standing at the head of the city are almost the elite of the Ming military. If he is soft, who will promote the development of firearms in the future?

Tan Zhong retorted, "without us, will you try?"

"Ha ha!"

Fang woke up with a bad smile and said, "the battle array has never been a place where simple arms can determine the victory or defeat. Let's say cavalry. Take the battle I went to intercept Haley's reinforcements. Only with the tacit cooperation of 10000 cavalry and 5000 firearm soldiers can we defeat 20000 Haley people. How can we fight this battle if we are separated from either side?"

Attack the son's shield with the son's spear.

Tan Zhong blushed but couldn't speak, which greatly increased Fang Xing's favor with him.

These people are somehow reasonable. If they encounter the kind of trouble, they can sophistry to make you doubt life.

"All right!"

As soon as Zhu Di opened his mouth, Tan Zhong arched his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my minister is talking nonsense."

Zhu Di turned his eyes, observed the faces of these people, and then said, "firearms and knives and guns are indispensable. In the future, each department will be gradually equipped with igniters. You should see more about the tactics of firearms in this war, which will be of great benefit in the future."

This seems to be a quarrel, but it elevates the status of the firearms army to the point that everyone must learn.

Seeing the delicate atmosphere, Zhang Fu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the thousand families of martial arts have to see blood!"
