If Xiao Donglou only does the ability to rob Tao in the mountains, then he would underestimate Tianxiong Army too much.

The Tianxiong Army was a unit that fought tough battles. Whether it was the Qing Dynasty or the bandits, as long as the Tianxiong Army was bitten, it would have to peel off.

Xiao Donglou placed the main force on both sides of the mountain road, and arranged two other bureaus as the foundation for the "pocket" to face the enemy head-on. Considering that this rebel army is mostly horse soldiers, these two bureaus as the foundation are excellent spearmen selected from the various bureaus. They did not line up in a mandarin duck formation, but were only arranged in a square formation, which could most effectively prevent the horse soldiers from starting mobility.

There is a difference between cavalry and horse soldiers. In the camp, the only thing that can be said about cavalry is the three walls in Li Guo's camp. The other horse soldiers are just infantry fighting on horseback, and there are no corresponding cavalry training. The same is true this time, the horse soldiers are coming, not cavalry. Otherwise, the spearmen without targeted training will be very bloody.

Xiao Donglou set up a trap, and found that there were more officers and soldiers on the other side of the camp, and intercepted him halfway. The victory of the long journey made General Guoyi feel that the officers and soldiers were unable to fight and could be completely defeated with just a charge. It was this kind of underestimation of the enemy that prevented him from stopping and ordering the army to advance, and to completely annihilate the officers and soldiers who met on the narrow road.

Xiao Donglou hid on the tree, holding a thousand-mile mirror, and said happily: "It's taken the hook! It's going to be taken the hook!"

Cao Ning stood under the tree, raised his head, stamped his feet in a hurry, and lowered his voice: "Hurry! Show me!"

"You have both eyes working, so why don't you use this?" Xiao Donglou was reluctant to do so, just said: "The bandits are in the team! Hurry up, put medicine in my gun, we're going to fuck him!"

In addition to the Firearm Bureau, firearms are rarely used in the Eastern Palace Guards. The main reasons are that they are poor in logistics and insufficient training. Although the firearms are powerful, if they are not done well, they will hurt their morale, which will be more than worth the loss. Xiao Donglou's musket is standard for colonel officers. In addition, there is also a treasure sword engraved with a name as a command knife.

Cao Ning quickly asked his personal soldiers to apply medicine to the bird guns and prepare to send a letter. Because they wanted to marches over, even the war drum horns could be saved. Besides, bandits always had their own set of command methods, and even without drum horns would not hinder communication on the battlefield.

"Kill!"

The camp finally launched a charge, but because General Guoyi was too anxious, the charge was too early and the distance seemed a little long.

"Hold the gun! Slant up! Punch!"

The spearmen rushed in front of the horse soldiers and fought back according to Cao Dian's rules. But this time they did not hold the spears flat, but were aimed at the knights on the horse.

Facts have proved that horse soldiers who had not undergone charge training soon lost their ability to charge, and the riders were unable to force the horses to rush into the forest of guns. A large number of horses hit horizontally to avoid the sharp edges on the front, causing chaos in the formation.

There were also a little riots on the spearman's side, and many people were not used to large animals such as "horse" rushing to such a close position. Fortunately, the riots of the enemy calmed them down, and with the sound of the chief's cry, they returned to their usual training state.

Bang!

Xiao Donglou sounded a gun against the sky.

The sound of guns is a signal of this battle. The soldiers who had been lurking for a long time emerged from the forest and rushed towards the bandits below in small teams.

"Tiger!" Cao Ning shouted loudly, as if he was the commander of this battle.

"Report: Sir, you are not a military chief, and you cannot issue direct combat orders!" The military judge on the side looked at Cao Ning with a cold look on his face.

It was like a basin of cold water that extinguished Cao Ning's blood. He turned his head and said, "I am reminding them how to shout!"

The military judge knew the laughing stock of Ben Qian's headquarters, so he could only barely restrain himself and prevent himself from laughing in such a serious occasion.

The left army headquarters had nearly 2,000 combat units, and there was no reason to ambush the opponent with a four-to-one advantage.

The only question is how much you can win.

Xiao Donglou knew that he had taken a big advantage and was more willing to earn a beautiful victory. He targeted General Guo Yi of the rebellion army. The man was riding on the horse in iron armor, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Catch him!" Xiao Donglou pointed his gun at the enemy general and shouted loudly: "The person who catches him will remember a personal merit!"

The Eastern Palace does not count the merits based on the head level, generals rely on the results of the battle, and soldiers rely on their performance. Generally, only collective merits, and only those who perform outstandingly can have personal merits. This is also Zhu Cixuan's reaction to emphasize the collective consciousness of team combat. So far, there have been many excellent groups, but there are very few warriors who have obtained personal merits.

Hei Li was quick-witted and rushed over with the killer he had under his command.

"Kill him!" Hei Pi roared, hiding behind a rattan player, pushed hard, and shouted: "I'm afraid of you! Rush up! I'll hit him to death!"

The rattan player was stimulated and rushed towards the enemy generals with a scream. He waved the rattan card, and his huge arm force swept away the two bandits in front. With just one charge, he tore open the enemy general's protection circle.

"The bandits are not ready to fight! Kill!" Hei Pi jumped out when he saw the situation, pulled out his long sword and fought hard. He aimed at a fallen bandit soldier and stabbed him hard.

The blood was shot out, splashing black skin on his face, emitting a hint of heat.

Hei Pi wanted this effect. He wiped it with his hand and made a big flowery face, shouting: "I'll be rewarded with you to kill the enemy!" He turned around and rushed forward.

The two flag teams wrapped black skin in the middle, which was very safe.

There was a thief with a look of horror in front of him.

...

"Didn't the black-skinned guy call me a tiger again?" Cao Ning gritted his back teeth and asked Xiao Donglou.

Xiao Donglou was leaning on a bird gun, but he was so painful that he bared his teeth. He twisted his feet when he jumped off the tree just now and became one of the wounded. The most tragic thing was that he didn't even see the enemy's face! Although the Eastern Palace did not use his head to judge the merits, and as the commander of the First General, he had no need to kill him in person. However, this colonel, who was born in a personal army, could not accept the fact that his sword could not drink blood after a fierce battle.

"Hurry up, how many horses are there!" Xiao Donglou shouted.

The fewest horses in the Eastern Palace are horses, and even fewer horses can go to the battlefield. Not to mention cavalry, there are not even enough horse soldiers.

Cao Ning had no choice but to count the spoils first, and at the same time, he sent two bureaus to the north to chase the fleeing bandits and set up alerts.

Hei Pi was in a good mood when he captured the enemy general. He wanted to ask for personal achievements, but seeing his boss's bad face, he finally shut up very consciously. However, he was afraid that Xiao Donglou would forget who caught the person, so he kicked the thief to the ground. He cursed: "Let you be a thief! Your Grandpa Mao He hated the thief the most! It fell into your Grandpa Mao Hei's hands, you will not be good! Your Grandpa Mao Hei..."

"Stop! Stop hitting!" Xiao Donglou was upset when he heard this, and called Heipi and said, "You should do whatever you should do! Don't be upset here!"

"Yes! Mr. Qian!" Heipi gave a serious military salute, which made Cao Ning and Xiao Donglou a little uncomfortable. "I, Mao Hei, go what I should do now! I, Mao Hei, will never be disgusting!"

"Enter, go quickly! Go quickly! I remember your name is Mao Hei!" Xiao Donglou waved heavily.

Hei Pi happily took his people away from the central army and participated in the ranks of collecting prisoners and counting the results of casualties.

"Mr. I have known you for four or five years, but I realized that your big name is Mao Hei." An old friend from Tianxiong Army came forward and joked.

"Muhei is a nickname that people call out when they see me looking black. My brother, Mao Shi, is a big-sized man! Hei Pi is also given me a gift!" Hei Pi said proudly.

"Yeah, that's great." The guys around all laughed and said, "Then you kept saying 'Mao Hei' just now. Wouldn't the boss really go up to the Mao Hei newspaper?"

Hei Pi paused under his feet: "Fuck... I just called 'Mao Hei'?"

"Yes, yes." Everyone gloated and looked at Hei Pi with joy.

The yin and yang on the black skin's face changed, and he also remembered that he was so excited that he had just shouted that he was bald. He looked at the brothers who were so heartbroken that he was so silly that he pretended to be calm, and suddenly pointed at the wounded man beside him and shouted: "You guys are so desperate! You won't go carry the stretcher yet!"

...

Xiao Donglou led his troops back, and his heart was filled with warm wind. In this battle, the Thousand Headquarters of the Left Army of the East Palace completely defeated the invading enemy with their superior forces and geographical advantages. They captured one pseudo-Genuine Guoyi, three captains of the general and three hundred and seventy-two bandits. They killed 156 levels in the formation, and in the end, only more than ten people fled and left.

More importantly, this group of bandits brought 300 war horses, other pack horses, donkeys, and mules, which was abundant for the East Palace, which lacked horses.

The Qin soldiers are the elite of the world, and Yansui is the elite of the Qin soldiers. Many of the defeated soldiers collected by the Eastern Palace were Yansui border soldiers. In addition to a large number of night-delayed cavalry, there are also many cavalry with excellent cavalry but no mounts. These people have been fighting against Mongolian riders for generations. If they can be matched with war horses, the Eastern Palace will have the foundation for training cavalry.

Cavalry can continue the era of World War II. It can be seen that no one can compete with this type of weapon without a large killer weapon. The reason why the Han and Tang dynasties were able to make the country's prestige thousands of miles away was because of a powerful cavalry unit. On the contrary, if cavalry cannot be formed, the principle of "soldiers are of great speed" cannot be strategically unleashed; at the tactical level, it also faces the dilemma of winning or not catching up, and losing or not running away - just like the Song Dynasty.

Of course, the Song Dynasty was innately deficient, and it was not easy to last for so many years. If you think carefully, the winning rate of the Song Dynasty in foreign wars was higher than that of the Tang Dynasty. To be fair, the areas with the most excellent war horses in China were Liaodong, Hetao, and Longyou. When the Song Dynasty founded, these three major areas had been occupied by powerful enemies and were difficult to recover, which shows the innate deficiencies.

However, after the Mongols occupied China, they made a huge project, which was almost comparable to Emperor Yang of Sui’s opening of a canal. Wherever the Mongols went, they destroyed cities and land, returned farmland to grass, and built pastures everywhere to raise horses.

The war horses must come from the herd of horses, otherwise it will be difficult to charge without the desire to win. The herd of horses is livable in high and cold places, with lush water and grass, sufficient food development, and enough space to run. Fortunately, the Little Ice Age began to come from the late Southern Song Dynasty, allowing the Mongolians' "grapeland" plan to be implemented. Even the fish and rice town in the south of the Yangtze River was opened into a horse farm... If this was in the hands of the Han people, no matter how crazy the emperor was, he would not be willing to give up.

Emperor Gao of the State Dynasty drove out the Tartars, restored China, and took over the regressive country and horse farms. Therefore, there were many streets named after horses in Nanjing City - such as "Nima Lane" and "Shenma Road".

Now, as the peak of the Little Ice Age, Shandong, located north of the Huai River, has a low temperature environment suitable for horse herds to live in. It is also because of the war and abandonment, and there is enough land to be transformed into a horse farm. As long as there is scientific horse farm management, establish horse spectrum, optimize horse breeds, and strengthen training for intensive formations of cavalry, even if you engage in a cavalry duel with the Manchus in the future, you may not lose.

Zhu Cixuan was very happy after receiving the battle report. Not only did he achieve great results, but his army's combat losses were controlled below 10 to 1, among which the minor injuries accounted for a large proportion.

"But these war horses are still a little weaker." Zhu Cilang was disappointed after seeing the captured war horses with his own eyes. This kind of horse looked not tall enough at first glance, and it did not have the momentum of a tall horse at all. Even if Zhu Cilang didn't understand horses, he knew that Li Chuang had definitely not put any effort into the choice of cavalry war horses.
