Chapter 173 Confused
The suburbs of England, at least west of Winchester, seemed to have entered a deserted land.
In terms of strategic situation, England has become the same as the Ming army in Puli County, but if you focus on the local area, it will make people fall into confusion.
First, in England, a siege of Puley killed the nobles of Devon, and those who were not dead became prisoners. Although they were released later, they were still scared and needed time to recuperate. The blocked castles refused to leave the city.
Some of them signed a ceasefire agreement with Ying Ming in private and went back to tear the castle gate to show sincerity.
It’s even more strange to the common people.
What is a scout?
Scouts are the elite among the elites, the ace among the aces, with firm will and strong tactics, and can act and complete tasks alone in an environment where they are separated from officers, large troops, and supervising teams. They are the starting point of battle, battle and even war.
A character on the battlefield that is more dangerous than first to board.
These people are not very good at fighting skills, and sometimes they even have to bring weapons in specific conditions. However, their ability to decide the victory or defeat of the war is also the confidence of the Eastern Military Palace to be rampant everywhere.
If Tubo Ma Heima had an excellent scout unit, would he be kicked into the camp in the middle of the night by Dayun?
The Dongyang Banner Army is very skilled and brave, and the scouts are the most courageous. When they were in Beiyang, they were often used by officers to simulate different environments during wartime by confrontation training.
A group of people passed through the Tianjin Guard checkpoint at night, protruding all the sentries outside the city and the guards at the top of the city at night. The guards and guards were also Beiyang Banner Army.
Another group of people not only had to pass through the Tianjin Wei checkpoint, but also had to pass through the encirclement to Bazhou for surveying and mapping.
The most outrageous thing is that there are still a group of people who have to go to Baiyangdian to catch Ye Mengxiong with a necklace after completing the tasks of the other two groups of people.
The other unit is responsible for not allowing them to pass, not allowing them to survey and map, not allowing them to catch ducks.
Baiyangdian is 300 miles away from Beiyang, and this kind of training habit is even more presumptuous when it comes to the Asian continent where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the ground is full of wild fruits.
There is only one way for Beiyang training subjects. The enemy still knows that they are coming, but they just don’t know when they will come.
When they left Beiyang, they had all the big roads, not to mention that the enemy didn't know that they would come. For the scouts of the Beiyang Banner Army, the world could go, as if they were entering a land of no one.
There is nothing in the world that can restrain them except water and food.
At first, it was really scary when the Ming army appeared around their farm. Some people even pulled out longbows from their homes and moved them out to protect themselves.
Later, it was discovered that these Ming soldiers in cotton armor were elusive and did not commit any crimes. Seeing that the village was like not seeing it, the local people confirmed one thing: although these people were riding war horses, wearing armor, and holding weapons, they were not enemies, and they were even likely not troops.
The logic is easy to explain. If it is an army, how can you not rob the village when you see it? These people are careful not to let the horses break the fields even when they walk in the fields. This is obviously not a soldier.
This is not consistent with common sense.
Basically, the biggest flattery in this life happened at this moment. Sometimes Ming Jun quickly passed by the yard and threw down a pretty painting, and only then did he look back to find something was thrown in the ground.
The Ming army scouts in the form of small teams came and went quickly. After meeting them three or five times, the people's defense gradually relaxed, and there were also those who were brave enough to talk on the road or in the fields.
"You guys come and go, are you going to hit us?"
When the flag army scouts were angry when they heard this, they said: "War? Who are you underestimating? You are going to fight you and you still need us to go to the scene?"
To clean up a small village, you have to send the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. Why are the Ming army still staying in England? Go home as soon as possible to have a breastfeed.
But not only were they curious, but the Ming army scouts were also curious. They shook their heads and answered not to hit them, and asked, "We are patrolling. Why is there a horse-rejecting refusal in your village? It's very dangerous here?"
The farmer proudly raised the bow in his hand: "There are many bandits and robbers in England, and a small number of them live on the mountain. We must protect ourselves with the longbow of horses."
"Tell me where the bandit camp is, we will help you suppress the bandits, by the way." The scouts were already carrying this mission, and they wanted to intimidate all the forces that could intimidate, but there was another question: "Where is the part that was not on the mountain?"
"The other part? Good question, I don't know." The farmer thought very seriously: "Maybe living in London."
It’s true that Europe’s political system has been progressing, which can be seen from a military perspective.
As for military affairs, there is actually no feudal army. In modern divisions, the strength of an army is often related to the political, economic and other aspects of its regime, and it is also a concentrated reflection of these forces.
Even in a small area of Europe, it is unfair to Europeans to divide the feudal army and modern army into hasty divisions.
The strength of troops in different places in the same era will also be very surprised. Spain has extremely bravery in holding swords and shields in the battle between the phalanx legions, jumping to the opponent's army formation from above and downwards when fighting the enemy in the Netherlands. There are also legions that are unable to burn their own towns in the Netherlands.
The upper limit of strength can be as high as human cognition, and the lower limit can be as low as robbery, and it must be established, otherwise the team will collapse and flee.
Why was the French army relatively strong during the French Revolution? It was because they could return to the camp by themselves after the robbery.
The Ming army, who was so bad that the purpose of taking the heads of fellow villagers was to return to the camp to obtain military achievements, but Europe has no military merit system, and winning battles is the business of a noble officer. He was deceived by a prostitute into the cellar and recruited soldiers who were not allowed to join the army. He hoped that they would return to the camp themselves after the robbery?
Not to mention that in Puli County, there appeared knights who came from afar, brought a bow and an arrow, shot the arrow in front of the formation and went home - the arrows were exhausted and the food was gone, and the battle for the lord until the last moment was not a crime of war.
The people of England have never seen such an army. They look particularly capable, but they do not kill, slaughter villages, or robbery. They run around all day long, like little wild kids who are unattended.
Although sometimes I would take something in the field, I would throw things into other people's yards after I finished it, sometimes I would throw a small painting, sometimes I would throw a small handicraft, or I would throw a cigarette, and throw it into the wrong yard and even let the villagers fight.
Of course, fighting is impossible to solve the problem. Once there is a dispute, the things will definitely be taken away by the lord's guard.
Anyway, these people are more popular than the guards of their own lords.
What was unexpected was that these Ming army really suppressed the bandits entrenched on the mountain for a while, and even ordered the price for the heads. The two big bags were thrown at the entrance of the village and did not work in vain, so they asked them to get some flour.
