My Daming New Empire

Hao Yunzhong shook his head and said, "Master Mao, these stinky people are strong, I can't risk my brothers' lives. In my opinion, it is more effective to let the musketeers out to harass them."

Mao Yanliang really wanted to say that the musketeers were the last barrier of the camp and could not move rashly.But he is also very clear that the three forces today have their own ideas, and no one is willing to take risks if they don't send musketeers.

These bandits will never become a big climate!

He looked to Hou Qiang's side, pondered for a while, and then sent the messenger to deliver the order.

Although Hou Qiang has never been on the battlefield, he has always received the most rigorous study at Habayashi Guard School.He is very clear that there are only fifty muskets on his side now, and the deterrence of these fifty muskets is more useful than the actual killing effect.

So after receiving the order, without the slightest hesitation, he raised his right arm and summoned fifty musketeers.

Most of them are middle- and upper-class bigwigs. Firearms are very important to anyone. Of course, they must control them in their own hands.

After conveying the order, he said, "Now that the enemy has a large number of people, we can't always defend passively. We must find the opponent's command center and disrupt their offensive rhythm. Now Master Mao has sent the musketeers out. There is nothing wrong with the strategy. If anyone Don’t dare to go, get out now.”

These words are very cruel, even if there is a cowardly person, they dare not retreat at this time.If he dared to withdraw today, there would be no room for him in Tanglin City tomorrow.

Lin San said: "Mr. Hou Qian, don't say such things. All brothers are not cowardly. Behind this city wall are our brothers, wives and daughters. No one will fight cowardly."

Hou Qiang nodded and said: "The enemy didn't use horses, so their center of action must not be too far away. 50 of us rode out on horseback. Don't love to fight. We must protect ourselves first."

Lin San asked in surprise: "Isn't killing the enemy the priority?"

Hou Qiang said with a smile: "The deterrence of muskets is far greater than the actual damage. As long as the enemy's heart is frightened, our mission will be completed."

Tanglin City, built by the river, has a lake on one side and a river on the other. Only in the north can there be enemies.But now the rivers and lakes are frozen, and the defenders dare not be negligent, so they can only defend in an all-round way.

The two rows of repelling horses next to the river were pulled away, and fifty heavily armed musketeers rode on horses, and rushed behind the enemy along the area with the fewest enemies.

Fifty people are not worth mentioning to an army with more than ten thousand people, but the insertion of these 50 people has changed the enemy's offensive momentum drastically.

In this era, muskets are simply not comparable to any weapon.

They have been staying on the outside of the battlefield, not fighting with the enemy, let alone allowing themselves to be approached.The number of enemies they pinned down far exceeded theirs by dozens of times, and they also prevented the enemies from attacking unscrupulously.

However, the pressure on Mao Yanliang was even greater, because he knew very well that he had to deal with it so that they could play a greater role.

If one side does not respond and keeps passively defending, these fifty people will not be able to become a force to change the battlefield.

On the contrary, if they are entangled and eliminated, the impact will be even greater, because Lin San is also among them.

Although in Tanglin City, Lin San's role is not as good as Tang Sai'er, but he is the leader of everyone after all.

Before the imperial army arrives, his safety cannot be compromised.

So the first time Lin San and the others rushed out, Hao Yunzhong and the others in the city also moved.

Wooden horses and city walls cannot stop fire attacks, and passive defense is not a good strategy.

If they wait for the opponent to launch a fire attack, they will be more passive.

Under the leadership of Gao Yanger, two thousand heavy armored soldiers equipped with broadswords and spears went through a slightly hectic formation and prepared to meet the enemy.

These 2000 people are the most important force of their mob, and most of them are bandits who originally occupied the mountain with Gao Yanger as king.

Although Gao Yang'er has always been selfish, but facing a powerful enemy, at this time, he no longer has the idea of ​​preserving his strength.

He and Lin San have a common enemy, and now they are in a relationship where both are prosperous and both are prosperous.

For the convenience of command, they did not ride horses, but formed a shield formation and a long spear formation to meet them.

Daming's infiltration into the Golden Horde was not enough. It was too far away from Daming. Even if some spies were sent out, they didn't play a big role in this unfamiliar place.

What's more, they have been here for nearly half a year, and they have a bad relationship with the small yellow tribes around them, and they know even less about the Novgorod Republic.

But this period was the most glorious period of the Novgorod Republic.

The current Grand Duke of Moscow, Vasily I Dmitrievich, has a very long tenure. He has been in office for 32 years so far.

During his tenure, the Golden Horde continued to weaken, and the principality under his tenure was able to maintain stability, and he used a lot of money to buy the Mongolian nobles and Mongolian Khan, so that they agreed to merge the Grand Duchy of Nishgorod into Moscow.

In the 31st year of Hongwu, Vasily I entered the Novgorod Republic, captured a large area of ​​it, and stationed troops in Novgorod.

This has turned the Principality of Moscow from three forces into one large force, and it has become the beginning of their take-off.

And Vasily I also became the prince of Novgorod in the sixth year of Yongle, unifying the three forces and jointly dealing with the Grand Duke of Lithuania in the West.

The issue of sovereignty from the Orthodox Church is currently the biggest issue in the Principality of Moscow, because he and the Grand Duke of Lithuania appointed the head of the church at the same time, but in the end the Byzantine Archbishop decided to use the one appointed by Basil I as the authentic one.

When Lin San and the others first arrived in Tanglin City, Vasili I knew that a group of Daming people had occupied a lake and a river at the southern foot of the Ural Mountains.

But at that time, he was fighting with the Grand Duke of Lithuania for the Orthodox Church. It was not until winter that he temporarily ceased fighting with the Grand Duke of Lithuania.

Then, taking advantage of the freezing winter weather, he launched an attack on Tanglin City, intending to wipe out the 4000 people in one fell swoop.

The people of Daming do not have the frost resistance like them, and they will not be able to shrink back in winter.Another advantage of launching an attack in this season is that the cold weather can make Daming's bows and arrows lose their advantage.

Although Lin San and his 5000 people only received fifty muskets, the imperial court did not treat them badly in terms of other weapons and supplies.

Cotton armor that can protect against bows and arrows, all kinds of light and heavy cold weapons, because of the elimination of the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, the number is very sufficient.

In terms of weapons and equipment, although Lin San and the others are a motley army, their weapons are far superior to those of Novgorod.

Even without muskets, thousands of long and short bows are still invincible weapons for people like them. Although they also have bows and arrows in their hands, they are far inferior to Daming's.

The bow strings of bows and arrows are boiled with beef tendon and six glues (deer glue, horse glue, cow glue, mouse glue, fish glue, rhinoceros glue) and silk thread is added.

Severe cold can make the bowstring lose its elasticity and greatly reduce its power.

Therefore, they will attack this season.

However, the enemy underestimated the toughness of these mobs, let alone know how to attack the heart.In the original history, these people dared to kill officials and rebel, but now they have traveled thousands of miles to settle down here for a common goal.

Although the weather is cold here, some food can be grown here, and there are forests, minerals, and countless prey everywhere.

Of course, Lin San and the others were reluctant to give up on the treasure land now, and the enemy had put up a formation from the very beginning, trying to wipe them out without giving them any way to survive, which made these people's hearts become united.

When these people gather together, no matter how many enemies there are, they are nothing more than a fight.

What's more, they also know that the number of opponents is only twice their own, and the race here is mixed, and the Mongols and Yuan people have been beaten to the heart. They always think about the East, and most of the tribes have defected to Daming, so naturally they will not oppose Daming now.

With these white tent tribes alone, they can't afford to lose.If there are too many dead people, they will lose power if they cannot suppress other surrounding tribes.

The two thousand fully armed soldiers were in front of the shield array, followed by the spear array, and with the assistance of the archers on the city wall, they quickly fought with the enemy who rushed forward.

Although the physical strength of the Ming soldiers was slightly inferior to the opponent's, the neat army formation made up for this gap, and the sharper weapons slashed and killed countless enemies in front of the formation.

The battle lasted from afternoon to dark, and the enemy, who had left hundreds of corpses, finally retreated.
