Thanks to book friends: "Falling Maples and Flying Shadows" for their full appreciation!

The density of Halie's rangers and scouts suddenly increased, and the Ming army immediately sent a large number of cavalry to intercept. For a moment, there were wars everywhere within thirty miles of Xinghe Fort.

Zhu Di stood on the head of Xinghe Fort, silently looked into the distance, the cavalry that kept returning, and then watched the new forces take turns to attack.

The artillery originally set up on the top of the city was also ordered by Zhu Di to withdraw to the garrison.

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

Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi were also watching. At this time, the Ming army was ready to go in the camps on both sides, waiting to be dispatched to attack at any time.

The battle of hundreds of thousands of people can be imagined.

Some people are constantly coming back by war horses, and sometimes even a few people come back with dozens of horses. The owners of those war horses are all dead without asking.

In the camp, the doctors were guarding the camp gate and immediately started to check when they saw the wounded.

"I got a knife on my shoulder... I was lucky, but the knife edge was not deep. I was a hero again after a while."

The doctor disinfected, applied medicine and bandaged it, patted the grinning sergeant and shouted: "Next!"

Fang Xing only took a mouth and distilled it a few times, so he got alcohol, and then promoted it as a disinfectant in Jubaoshanwei.

At this moment, there was a lot of alcohol in the Ming army, and there were even more doctors here.

The next person was carried. The doctor cut the clothes on the injured man's abdomen and said sadly: "The organ has been injured. Ask him what wishes he has."

The wounded howled loudly, and the two comrades carrying him were feeling uncomfortable and asked him about his last wish, but the wounded only screamed and couldn't speak at all.

The doctor sighed, then took out a gourd, "Give him a few sips."

The two soldiers fed their comrades a few without hesitation. Gradually, his screams became low.

“…My wife…can’t…can’t remarry…”

When the doctor heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"…… My son remarries… and suffers… and loses….”

The hand holding the wrist of the comrade suddenly relaxed, then fell to the ground, trembling for a few times, and then there was no movement.

Without crying or choking, the two soldiers carried their comrades and walked outside numbly, and someone would burn it later.

Fang Xing and Atai stood outside the camp. Looking at this scene, Atai sighed: "In the past, the tribes died in battle. Those who had enough friendship dig holes and buried them. The ordinary ones were left there, allowing them to be eroded by wind and rain and beasts. This is the battle formation..."

"You're degenerate!"

Fang Xing shook his head, "You used to be a little decisive in killing, but now you will sigh for the cruelty of the battle formation."

Atai smiled bitterly and said, "I have seen the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, even if it is just a front-line battle, I think it is better to be a rich man, otherwise I will die sooner or later without a burial place."

The sound of horse hooves in the distance was rapid. Fang Xing turned around and saw a team of cavalry heading towards Xinghe Fort quickly, and said, "I guess there is news about Halie's main army, go back."

...

"Your Majesty, Halie's army is camping fifty miles away."

Zhu Di looked at the blood-stained officials of all households and said, "Okay."

The officials of the households looked up and said happily: "Your Majesty, those Halie people are overwhelming and cannot see the edge. I just circled around for half a circle, and I guess there would be more than 500,000 people."

Zhu Di nodded, and the officials of all households went down happily.

It was easy to talk about it in a while, but everyone knows that the price is probably about the same as the annihilation of the entire army.

Zhu Di touched the city brick and said, "It seems that it is similar to what I estimate. The Halie people's troops will not exceed 350,000."

On such an expedition, the civilians and soldiers were at least one to one, and there were also a considerable number of people transporting food and grass along the way.

When Zhu Di heard the silence around him, he asked, "Are you scared?"

After several contact battles, the impression of Halie's bravery has been set in everyone's minds.

Yang Rong glanced at the Wuxuns and took a step back with Yang Shiqi.

Zhang Fu was the first to say: "Your Majesty, with you here, you won't be afraid of more than 100,000."

Zhu Yong also expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, no matter how many Halie people there are, can he still be better than the previous Mongol Yuan people?"

Meng Ying said even more radically: "Your Majesty, let's take the lead!"

Zhu Di glanced at him, his eyes drifted over, staring at Fang Xing who was walking up and asked, "What do you think?"

Suddenly, a sour smell filled the city. Everyone turned around and looked at Fang Xing in amazement.

"The Halie should have about 300,000."

Zhu Di's face was cold, but it gave everyone great confidence.

"What do you think of this battle?"

Fang Xing walked up and said, "Your Majesty, this battle will be very bloody. The number of people on both sides is similar. There is no surprise attack. You can only line up and fight step by step. So I think that the key to this battle is the use of firearms and the maintenance of morale."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the generals on the city suddenly became subtle.

"Xinghe Bo, do you have to rely on the Firearms and Guards in this battle?"

Xinning Bo Tan Zhong couldn't help but question.

"If there is no firearm guard, will the Ming Dynasty have to defeat the war? Then, the few northern expeditions of His Majesty in the past, only the Shenji Camp is there."

Liu Sheng was innocently caught in the gun and smiled bitterly and said, "Xinning Bo, Xing and Bo mean that the Firearms Guards are surprise soldiers."

Tan Zhong was just questioning, but when he heard Liu Sheng's words, he blushed and said, "Then can we rest after waiting?"

Zhu Di looked at this scene coldly, but didn't say anything.

If he speaks and suppresses it, although there is nothing wrong for the time being, the contradiction will be intensified.

Fighting the question, Fang Xing said calmly: "In the past, most of the defenses were close forces, but with muskets and artillery, it became possible to resist the enemy from the range of the bow and arrow. If this battle was based on the previous style of play, it would be to use human lives to accumulate a victory or defeat."

If no one can question Fang Xing, the previous battle formation was a close fight 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 and thus gain the initiative.

"Architecture can disrupt the enemy's formation at a long range, and when it reaches close range, the cannon's shotgun and musket volleys can provide a continuous blocking ability. I dare ask you, is it important to have a firearm heavy?"

Facing the question, he could have made a mistake, but he couldn't and was unwilling to show weakness.

These people standing on the top of the city are almost the elites of the Ming military. If he surrenders, who will promote the development of firearms in the future?

Tan Zhong retorted: "Without us, do you go and try it?"

"hehe!"

Fang Xing smiled very badly and said, "The battle formation is never a place where the troops can decide the outcome. Just talk about cavalry, just take the battle where I intercepted Halie reinforcements as an example. Only by cooperating with 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 firearm soldiers can the 20,000 Halie people be defeated. I dare to ask how to fight this battle if I left any side?"

Use your spear to attack your shield.

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

At least this kind of person is reasonable. If he encounters a kind of nonsense, he can make you doubt your life.

"alright!"

As soon as Zhu Di opened his mouth, Tan Zhong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have said something wrong."

Zhu Di's eyes turned, observing the expressions of these people, and then said: "Both firearms and swords and guns are indispensable. In the future, each unit will gradually distribute firearms. You should check the firearm's tactics more in this battle, which will be of great benefit to the future."

This seems to be a squad, but it raises the status of the firearm army to the point where everyone must learn.

Seeing the atmosphere subtle, Zhang Fu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Thousand Houses of Martial Arts must also go to see the blood!"
