Chapter 98 General

To be honest, Ying Ming was shocked.

The same fright was suffered during the war in the Kingdom of Ayland. The Ming army's offensive in Ireland has always been very smooth, but there are times when there are some embarrassment. For example, on the eve of the attack on Dublin, there were knights riding monsters onto the battlefield.

The guys and horses were covered with heavy armor, carrying an iron can, as if they were not carrying it. They did not run fast, but there was nothing else to hurt it except the bird gun under the armor. They rumbling like a cow and knocked on the infantry front and opened a gap.

Fortunately, the number is small and the running is slow. Except for being attacked by him in a stalemate battle, no matter whether the revenge or the Beiyang cavalry are willing to fight head-on with these things.

In addition to the local cavalry of the Kingdom of Ayran, there are only those cavalry without stirrups that have to collide with others. What if they can poke their horses to death with a spear? The horse corpse can still flatten you and even the horses.

After briefly climbing the city, Ying Ming, who used a telescope, found that there were also such a kind of horse in the besieged camp, so he immediately decided not to leave the city from the north gate to attack the camp.

It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s mainly because I’m losing.

The Beiyang Banner Army was highly valued by the emperor and Chen Mu, and the cavalry was the top priority. They also regarded themselves very highly. As the commander of the cavalry, Ying Ming believed that if a Beiyang cavalry could not defeat the three knights or heavy cavalry on the other side in a battle, the Beiyang cavalry would suffer a loss.

The rational fact is very cruel. In a few years, Ying Ming grew from an ordinary cavalry to a commander of the Ailan Kingdom. He gradually realized that the soldiers in the battle often represent a number. Just to mention the cavalry he commanded was originally fifty Beiyang cavalry, and later fifty were transferred from other hundred households by Shangguan Han Jinhuan.

Now he has marked 200 cavalry. The first veterans were only twenty-four cavalry. Later, more were transferred and eight cavalry were lost. Other cavalrymen were mainly reorganized after the death of the commanders of brother troops. More than twenty cavalrymen were drawn from Ailan Rehabilitation for training. Some of the Ailan Cavalry were trained in the same group of Tailong Guards, but they may have poor mastery of language and insufficient training subjects. There are few cavalrymen that can make Ying Ming like.

He was used to the death of his comrades and commanded several battles in Ailan. When the army suffered from the plague at the city of Dublin, his troops were still chosen as the army behind the palace to face the enemy's pursuit. The military orders were as high as the mountain. Everyone had no choice but to retreat under that situation. They could only retreat. If they had to die, the value of death was better than worthless.

In Ying Ming's eyes, Puli County, a new battlefield, is a piece of white paper that can be used for him to write freely.

This is indeed a piece of paper. The several Zhongxian lieutenants who occupied Puli City. Although they were self-proclaimed military positions, they were still the people and merchants. In Ying Ming's opinion, they were too young. Their military understanding was at the level of coloring the map, just as if they had all their troops in Puli City, and the city really belonged to them.

"It's obviously a place with all connections, surrounded by rivers and seas, but it's trapped into a dead place. When you stay in the city, the enemy troops from all directions will come to support you. A large area of ​​villages are left for the enemy to protect, collect, and requisition. They use these grains to garrison more troops and build larger siege weapons. When others are ready, they will capture your city in one fell swoop."

In the small town field across the Taima River in Puli County, Ying Ming sat on the withered tree trunk, grinding his wrist-removing knife carefully, and said to Wang Jinzhong: "They have four or five thousand troops stationed in the besieged camp in the north of the city. People eat horses and chew very much, and there must be a caravan of grain. We go to the west, intercept the grain transporters and burn them on the spot, and the gold and silver transporters took them away. The materials transporters can be destroyed. If they meet their reinforcements, the small troops that were annihilated will be annihilated by their superior force."

"Even if they encounter a large number of troops, they can't keep up."

Wang Jinzhong nodded one after another when he listened to Ying Ming's training. In fact, he thought about these things later. It was a little late when he thought about them. He responded: "What the general said is that we will know next time. We thought that it was dangerous outside the city and were afraid that the enemy would beat him..."

As he said that, Wang Jinzhong laughed. Now they are outside the city, and the enemy troops are gathered in the north of the city, and the south of the city is very safe.

On the Taima River behind him, several Beiyang cavalry were driving hundreds of Mongolian horses with their horses to carry them across the river. They were lying on their backs holding their horses' hair and were carried back to the other side of the river. Two of their ships were on the river, transporting all the cavalry and harnesses over. Ying Ming stretched out his arms and pointed at their backs and said, "There are too many enemies outside the city, so we have to find a way to separate them."

In fact, this matter should have been done by the four Zhongxian lieutenants in the city. They have ships and sailors. It is very appropriate to do this on the coast. If there are too many enemies, they should find a way to separate them. If there are too many separates, they should find a way to separate them until they are many times more than them, and then carry out annihilation battle.

However, even though Ying Ming has fought many wars with the army in recent years, he is still learning about war in war. After all, he is not like the generals in Beiyang who have textbooks and always-winning generals as professors.

"As long as they separate, they dare not attack the city."

"We try to go west, walk thirty or forty miles or more to ambush the enemy. If we are unlucky and don't meet the enemy, we will rob all the surrounding villages and towns, so that the enemy cannot supply, and lure the enemy into the besieged city to divide the troops to the west. When they divide the troops westward, the cavalry left in the city will attack the east without sympathy."

Ying Ming said this and looked up at Wang Jinzhong and said, "The sooner this battle is over, the sooner the people can live a comfortable life; the longer it drags on, the more chaotic the place."

This is Ying Ming's personal experience in fighting in Ireland. It is already very chaotic there. Since the war lasts much longer than expected, bandits, robbers, local chaos, plagues and hunger are spreading, and only when the war is calmed down can this chaos be rescued.

For the people, the best thing in the world is not to fight, even poverty is better than war.

There are too many ways to change your destiny in the world. Trying to war to turn your life into a number is the worst one.

Unless you are lucky enough.

Ying Ming was one of the lucky ones. After saying that, he got up and put the whetstone back into the horse's buttocks, inserted the short knife back into the back of his waist, and said to Wubian: "Send the order, let's set off west and get a good sign."

He did not know when other reinforcements would arrive in Puli County. For him, the military order he accepted was to solve the crisis in Puli County. It was unrealistic to let him use two hundred cavalry to rush into the enemy's five thousand battalions. The only way was to separate the enemy and make them tired. At least he knew that the army gathered by the nobles was not as good as that of Tamado.

What's the use of running fast, big, and strong?

My Mado, I can run faster than you, save time and effort than you, and can be used as mobile dry food if there is no food.
