When it was dawn and when Qi Mingxing was still bright, all the soldiers in the camp got up.

The battles were the dragoons of the ninth battalion of the Ninth Regiment, including some jumping warriors, spearmen, musketeers, combat engineers, and cavalry and artillery companies with the battalion.

The formation of the Dragoons is still in progress, so the Ninth Regiment is not yet fully organized. If it is fully organized, the Ninth Regiment alone will have complete attack and defensive power, and there are about 5,600 people, which is equivalent to the three main barracks of the Ming army, and they have the power to stand on their own.

The camp was not only the Ninth Regiment, but also a complete cavalry and artillery battalion, most of the hunting cavalry battalion, half of the Dragoon battalion of the Ninth Regiment, with a total of more than 5,000 people, and nearly 5,000 people in the baggage, but it was still three days later.

It was very hard to travel. On the ninth day, the brigade of troops was short of food and supplies. Later, after discussing with the staff and military and political personnel, Ren Jing decided to reduce the rations of soldiers, which was only half of the previous day.

This will last for about seven days. Even if you are not optimistic, you will definitely finish the battle. Of course, if the Khan tribe avoids fighting, there is no way... The Dragoon is indeed an infantryman riding a horse, but if you imagine that you are chasing like a cavalry, you can't even lancers, and only the hunting cavalry can do it.

If you are optimistic, in three years, there may be more than a dozen battalions of hunting cavalrymen, which are as powerful as they were at the beginning of their establishment, with strong firepower and unparalleled mobility, so that they can pursue any enemy they want to pursue. Now there is no doubt that it is impossible. No matter how powerful the hunting cavalrymen are, they can use hundreds of people to hit tens of thousands of enemies who are already armed and ready to fight. This is something that cannot be done no matter what.

If you don’t know how to fight, of course you will be stationed in the same place and wait for the convoys of baggage and vehicles in the rear to catch up.

Ren Jing had to place many squadrons of hunting cavalry along the way. They were as alert as hunting dogs. They usually poked out for more than two to three days. They found that large groups of enemy troops wanted to seize the rear and cut off food. They not only could give the main force enough early warning and rescue time, but they could even use mobility and combat power to delay the enemy's attack. The grain transport convoy's baggage itself had thousands of people, all with muskets and had undergone rigorous military training. To be mean, the combat effectiveness of the baggage soldiers was equivalent to the main force of the Ming border army. They may be slightly worse than the servants, but in terms of organization, they were much stronger than the servants. Therefore, the upper level of the military commander, including the chief officer of the army, were not too worried about being tracing the back. This is also the reason and confidence that the main force dared to abandon the grain team's journey for several days.

When the fragrance spreads, all troops start to eat breakfast.

After dawn, there were sounds of shouting and killing from time to time, but this time the Tukhan army sent more whistle cavalry. The merchant army dispatched no more than 200 hunting cavalrymen. In order to restore morale, the enemy dispatched thousands of rangers to drive the hunting cavalry near the camp. The shouting and killing sounds broke out on both sides. Although it was a long distance, the soldiers in the camp still heard it very clearly.

The first thing the Dragoons do is to take care of their war horses before they start having breakfast.

Everyone lined up in a small line to receive the meal. After the meal, they would cross their legs and eat breakfast on the grass. The breakfast was very rich. In the middle of the night, the team members started preparing steamed buns and millet soup with cold dishes mixed with salt. Everyone feasted.

The 9th Regiment of the Dragoon has almost no new recruits. In the past six months, the replenishment of soldiers is quite limited. More new soldiers are in Kuandian or Taiwan, and almost all of them are veterans on the grassland.

After many years of war, every officer and soldier has rich experience in the battlefield. Some low-level officers have experienced it from escort divisions to bandit suppression. They have a lot of experience. When the soldiers are having dinner, they will patrol around to see if there are any subordinates. At the same time, the loud voices of the military and political officials are filled with the camps. Even if they are veterans, the military and political officials must ensure that there are no soldiers who have psychological collapse in the war.

When the soldiers finished breakfast, the officers began to check their pre-war outfits. They were already ready for the jumping soldiers. They were already sitting cross-legged near the camp gate, and dozens of kilograms of equipment were worn on their bodies. Only the iron helmet was held in their hands or on their knees, and the long sword and shield were placed on the grass. Everyone seemed very comfortable. These soldiers had a bad temper and had a high arrogance. Their salary was the same as the lancers, and they were slightly higher than the artillery. They were all proud of the army. Although these soldiers were not large in number, these guys always thought they were the strongest group and also had the function of a stabilizing sea needle on the battlefield. Therefore, they usually walked with nostrils facing the sky. Except for retaining some respect for the lancers, they basically did not see the rest of the troops.

At this moment, these guys showed soft smiles on their faces. Many people were grinning and laughing out loud from time to time, forming a sharp contrast with their usual murderous look with their faces.

A musketman saw the heavy armored infantry who were smiling and laughing. He looked at the shining iron armor, mostly with armor, a small amount of iron scale armor, a layer of mail or cotton armor, a sling, arm guard, heart protection mirror, shin guard, iron gloves, iron mesh skirt and other equipment, and these warriors were all iron men. Although a considerable number of dracos were equipped with breast plaques behind the chest, which was only stronger than scale armor in terms of anti-sticking, they were mostly just front and back breast plaques plus iron helmets, while musketmen only wore cotton armor or mail. The breast plaques were given priority to equip lances, and then the dracosmen. There were 20 to 30% of the shortages in the army, which resulted in many spearmen only wore mails or ordinary armor.

Although the spearmen in the Dragoon also had breastplate, the soldiers were really armed to their teeth.

"Don't look at it, you are a musketsman with a physical body." Deputy squadron leader Qin Bosheng patted the thin young man in front of him. Compared to him, the other party's physique was indeed far inferior.

"Can we musketeers be equipped with breastplate?" musketeers said to Qin Bosheng: "In this way, all the vital points on the front, chest and back will be protected."

"No, thick armor will affect our release." Qin Bosheng carefully checked the other party's luggage to see if the cotton armor was tightly tied, check the amount of water in the kettle, check whether the cowhide belt was tied tightly, and there were ammunition boxes made of cowhide of varying sizes at the waist, which were filled with gunpowder and grinded round lead bullets, and then checked the spare ammunition belt. After reading it, tie it and hung it on the chest, and then the spare flint. Once the flint stone of the flintlock rifle had problems, the soldier had to learn to replace it as soon as possible. Then check whether the dry food, tangle, bayonet and dagger were polished. After the final inspection, he slapped the soldier's chest, signaled the other party to move out of the way, and asked the next one to come forward.

Looking at the musketman who was still nervous, Qin Bosheng turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, our musketman just fires muskets. I guarantee that you can't see the enemy's way, and this battle will be over."

"The team officer is bragging again."

"But it's true that our musketeers rarely approach and fight close to each other with the enemy. They first attacked. When the enemy rushed forward, the warriors and spearmen stepped forward to meet the enemy. We retreated and loaded and waited for the order. I fought the Northern Barbarians many times, but I really didn't see what the enemy looked like."

"It's nothing to work hard... I should fight for dozens of taels of silver a year. After ten years of service, I retired from the military and managed the division of the land, and went to Tunbao to serve as a custody, and managed to thieves. Every day I go around the fort. I just have a day to go around the fort. I find a tavern to have two drinks at night and go home to sleep. How beautiful this day is."

"Fight, fight." The musketeer, who was nervous, took a deep breath and said, "I can't wait."

"Don't pretend, boy." Qin Bosheng turned his head and smiled, "You have only been in the army for half a year, and you are considered a veteran. You can't catch a big battle. Look at those soldiers who are usually broken, and they deliberately laugh and relax during wartime. The more nervous a person is, the more panicked the war will be, and it is easy to deform the movements. Remember, nervous people die early, and relax your mood. Just treat it as a training."

"Well, it's just a training session."

A small team of musketeers was moved by Qin Bosheng's words. Sure enough, those soldiers were the most relaxed, and they rarely supplemented the soldiers and rarely transferred to other troops. Many soldiers would rather stay and serve as soldiers than transfer to other troops to serve as sergeants. Therefore, the proportion of veterans among soldiers was quite high, and it was indeed the best to adjust the mood before the war.

After Qin Bosheng inspected the squad he was in charge, he turned elsewhere. It took him a year and a half to work as a soldier to a deputy squadron leader. It was not fast. This military rank was temporary because he had not yet graduated from the officers' school for more than half a year.

Now the army is being reorganized, with few officers. Compared with the Ming army, there are very few officers recorded in the Ming army. It is even less pitiful than the officers and soldiers in later generations. Zhang Han believes that there are no civil servants in the army. There are civil servants in the military department, and there are no officers in the army who do not go to the battlefield. Each officer is responsible for a lot of affairs. The management of the Shang regiment army is complex and professional. Qin Bosheng is the deputy squadron leader. He has to cooperate with the squadron leader to do many officers' work. At the same time, the entire squadron is still responsible for him. This is a kind of training. For temporary officers who have not had time to enter the officer school, the army is also a big class and can learn things that cannot be learned in school.

The dragon cavalry has been transformed into three squadrons, three squadrons, three squadrons and one company. Each company has its own flag bearer, trumpeter and drummer. After Qin Bosheng announced that the squad inspection was completed, the remaining squadrons and squadrons also completed inspections. Finally, the company commanded the inspection and reported to the upper level with the flag after completion.

In Ren Jing's position, you can see the red company flags waving constantly. The sky was dim and the Qimingxing was already dark. The red and gray streams surged out from various camps, and the trumpets and drums kept ringing, and the flags were waving. All soldiers stood under their own team flags. The squadron flags merged with the company flags. Then each company merged with the battalion flags of each battalion. All soldiers merged into a rushing river and formed a very dense marching queue. There were actually very few hunting cavalrymen, and most of the hunting cavalry were already several miles away. After dawn
