Dezhou, 12 companies and battalions, has 100,000 elite soldiers, waiting for the auxiliary prince to accompany the Timurid Empire envoys in the military parade.
This day, Gaisuyaddin has also been looking forward to it for a long time, he is a brave general under Timur, following Timur's expedition to the east and west, repeatedly making military exploits, is a wise and brave general, Timur sent him as a deputy envoy, it is this point.
Although the military parade is largely characterized by the surname of performance, in terms of the armament of the army and the training of military discipline, with the vision of Gai Suyeddin, he can naturally assess the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, which cannot be concealed from a great expert like him who has experienced a hundred battles and has seen the tactics and tactics of countless countries.
At the beginning of March, in the early spring weather, the rivers had just thawed, the big places were revived, the willow branches spit out a little new shoots, and the military parade began in Dezhou campus.
Participating in the exercise were soldiers carefully selected from the 5th Military Battalion, 3,000 Battalion, and Shenji Battalion of the Beijing Division, samurai drawn from among the officers and men guarding the border, soldiers drawn from Shandong, Hebei, and Henan, "coyote soldiers" and white-pole soldiers transferred from Guangxi, Yunnan, and Sichuan, and the training contingent of the Minzhuang Regiment in Shandong.
Standing on the high viewing platform, Gaisuyaddin personally saw the Ming army's cavalry outflanking, infantry assault, infantry assault, infantry and cavalry combined attack, and various tactical tactics of cold and hot weapons to cooperate in combat.
"Bang bang, bang bang" The sound of gunfire and cannons on the battlefield was endless, and the thick smoke rose with the wind, filling most of the sky, and the group of puppeteers who were targets in front of them had been beaten to pieces.
It is the first time that Gaisuyaddin has seen such sharp firearms, after the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, firearms craftsmen have successively invented a variety of firearms on the basis of traditional firearms, all kinds of firearms, long-range attack and close combat, up to dozens of kinds.
Through actual combat exercises, the Shenji Battalion selected some of the more powerful, transported, refrigerated, and convenient to use, as conventional combat weapons, Huwei cannon, cavalry special fire dragon guns, Ming Dynasty's Katyusha rocket artillery "swarm", fire dragon vehicles, gun-lifting firearms and firearms team shooting, second team equipment, second team loading three-stage shooting, so that the guns and bullets are like a storm, rain is endless, with the deafening roar of the tiger cannon, Gaisuedin couldn't help but change color, of course he can see how terrible the lethality of such a firearm is, Even the loud sound of the guns is a key factor in determining the outcome of the battlefield.
This picture already appeared in Gaisuyaddin's mind: he led thousands of Timur iron horsemen, drew his sharp scimitar, and rode a majestic Arabian war horse, like a gust of wind, and suddenly there was a rain of bullets and stones in front of him, accompanied by a huge roar, and those war horses, who had never heard such a loud noise, were in chaos and trampled on each other, and thousands of horses and horses did not wait to rush to the enemy's approach, and they trampled on each other, and died countless deaths.
Gaisuyaddin stroked his beard and secretly turned his mind: "If you want to be the enemy of the Great Ming, you must let our war horses adapt to such a roar."
"Whew" A burst of flames filled the space more than ten zhang in front of him, and Gaisuedin's hand froze on his beard: "How is this as terrible as the devil's Greek fire, how to resist such a flame chariot, if you fight in the field, such a chariot is inconvenient to move, and you can use the advantage of cavalry to drag them down."
But once we attack, the Ming will be the defender, relying on the strong, tall city, if you add such a spray train" Gaisuedin's brow furrowed slightly, and for a moment, he couldn't think of what kind of weapon to use to deal with such an advanced weapon.
Subsequently, the coyote soldiers and the white pole soldiers performed the training items of infantry crossbow salvo and spear infantry assassination to resist the enemy, Gaisuedin's brows furrowed even tighter, just now he had already seen the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of cavalry alone, whether it was equestrian or the war horse itself, it was slightly inferior to their horse nation.
This is normal, the cavalry team of an agrarian nation, if the overall quality of the cavalry is higher than that of their nomads, it is really too rebellious, but if it is combined with this kind of crossbow and pikemen, it can completely offset the strength of their invincible cavalry of the Timurid Empire, not only light cavalry, if the Ming army is equipped with a few heavy artillery between the pikemen, crossbowmen and cavalry, I am afraid that the heavy cavalry will also exchange glances between Gaisuyaddin and Ulaanba, and they are all in awe.
Seeing the grand military might of the Ming army, Aldusha couldn't help but sigh to Gaisuyaddin in their language: "The Ming army is well-dressed and neat, and it is so powerful that it is unprecedented among the enemies that the Khan has faced." ” Gaisuedin listened to it and suddenly his heart sank, he also saw it, but he didn't think deeply, at this time Aldusha's emotion triggered his feelings, he noticed that these Ming troops, nearly 100,000 Ming troops, tall, short, fat and thin are almost the same, what does this mean This means that the Ming Dynasty has a sufficient source of soldiers, and these military forces are not an army that is transferred from anywhere at will, but is selected from different armies.
Its standard is not only brave and good at fighting, but also to meet the requirements of tall, short, fat and thin, so the army in front of it is brave, but it does not necessarily represent the highest combat effectiveness of the Ming army, the reason why they appear here, is to meet the unified condition of body type, according to this calculation, how many warlike armies the Ming has Look at their clothing and armor, they are all brand new and shiny, if the Ming does not have sufficient national strength, can it provide 100,000 sets of new uniforms and armor at any time Gaisuyadin's heart was terrified, and from the data on these appearances, he continued to estimate the real military strength of the Ming Dynasty, and Aldusha said: "Fangcai, the Auxiliary State Duke said that this is 100,000 horses, right, when the Great Khan fought against the lightning Bayeset, it was the largest use of troops, cavalry, musketeers and war elephant troops, a total of only 150,000 people, and it only took a month for the Ming Dynasty to mobilize 100,000 generals to gather here."
As a military general, he knew better than Althushah that the maximum number of troops that the Great Khan could mobilize was only about 200,000 men, except for the army that had to be used to defend the homeland, and that the maximum number of troops he could mobilize was only about 200,000 men, and that more would have to be drawn from the young and strong laborers responsible for farming and grazing, which were the basic needs to maintain the basic survival of the country.
In fact, after Timur's expedition, the number of troops was only about 200,000, and the remaining hundreds of thousands were logistics personnel and herdsmen, because he also drove millions of cattle and sheep.
When those Shandong Minzhuang, who were very martial and martial style, also came to the field, seeing their neat team and the heroic posture of bravely rushing to kill, Gaisuyeddin's will was finally shaken, he thought for a long time, and in the shouting of the majestic mountains and rivers, he turned his head and said solemnly to Aldusha: "The Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty will become our nightmare, the invincible reputation of the Great Khan will be buried in the East, buried in the hands of the Ming army, Prime Minister, I think, our only mission in the East this time is to dissuade the Great Khan from giving up the Eastern Crusade."
Aldusha had a shocked face, nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, General Gaisuyaddin, I completely agree with you, we must dissuade the Great Khan, we must give up our ambitions for the Ming Dynasty, otherwise we will become sinners of the Empire" Ulan Ba was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly interjected: "Prime Minister, General, the Great Khan has ruled the world and has never met the enemy, how can we be intimidated by a martial arts exercise of the Ming army, we" Aldushah glanced at him coldly and reprimanded: "I am talking to General Gaisuyaddin, how can you intervene" Turning his head, Aldushah said to Qasuyaddin casually: "These people who fled from the east just want to avenge them with the help of the Great Khan's power, it's really strange how the Great Khan would favor such a guy." ” Gaisueddin shrugged.
In the Taibai Restaurant in Texas, Ulan Ba said that he lived alone at a table, and most of the wine on the table had been drunk, his two eyes were already red, and he was still drunk and kept pouring.
He didn't expect that the old bastard of Aldusha and a vain general like Gaisuyaddin, after seeing the military might of the Ming Dynasty, actually retreated, wanting to dissuade Emperor Timur from giving up the Eastern Crusade, shame Back then, he left his hometown and went to the Western Regions, in order to leave that cowardly father and find a wise king to avenge his eldest brother and his bullied people, but now, will Timur Khan insist on the Eastern Crusade, or will he listen to the words of this Wen Yiwu and his two close ministers?
Ulan Ba said that he was completely uncertain.
At the other table, a few strong men came over and shouted: "Xiao Er, just bring good wine and good food, hurry up."
Ulan Ba glanced at them with red eyes, although they were all in civilian clothes, but looking at the demeanor of the line, they should all be military attachés in the army, at present, in addition to the local army, the Texas barracks are stationed with a lot of troops from other places, with a total of more than 150,000 people, and more than eighty percent of the men wandering around the city are officers in civilian clothes.
Ulan Ba said that he ignored them, but took up the bowl and drank another bowl of spirits.
I listened to a few men at the table next to me talking and laughing: "Brother Fang, the two of us haven't seen each other for a while, since the emperor raised troops and waved the army south, I was ordered to guard Beiping, but your brother went south with the emperor, and now if it weren't for the military parade of the grandfather of the auxiliary country, we wouldn't have had a chance to meet again, we must have a good drink today, the younger brother has a treat, and he is not drunk and has no return." ” "Haha, okay, brother listens to you.
I said Brother Xu, when I left Beiping, you were still a small school, and now you have become the general flag. ” "Big brother, are you ashamed of me, are you now a hundred households, can you compare don't look at my brother just guarding in Beiping, it seems to be very leisurely, but Li Jinglong's 600,000 army is besieging the city, and my brother has also survived several times, oh, look at it, this scar on my neck, hey, I will be fated to survive."
Another person said: "Yes, it's not easy for us brothers, who used to follow the emperor, which one is not a big change now."
But to say that the biggest change is our grandfather of the auxiliary country, haha, I heard that the grandfather of the auxiliary country couldn't enter the palace at the beginning, and then he pretended to be a guy who sent fox skins in the fur shop at the gate, and visited the little lord of the Xu family to come out, and then he entered the palace, and now the fish jumps into the dragon gate, and he climbs to the sky in one step."
Then one of them smiled and said: "Feng Laosan, don't be envious of this matter, you can't compare with the merits of the Auxiliary Guogong."
Why did the Duke of Fuguo deceive the door to enter the house in the first place, because" This person obviously knew the details, he told Xia Xun in detail about the fact that he had saved King Yan, which attracted everyone's admiration, and Ulan Ba Yue at the next table had already pricked up his ears when he heard the name Xi Ba Yue, and he was already full of anger when he heard this, and a murderous aura suddenly swept over his blood-red eyes To be continued:
