Sun Chuanting's confidence was certainly not without reason. Although his actual combat experience was not very rich, he only fought a few battles with Zhu Youjian in the early years of Chongzhen. Moreover, the military position he held at that time was just the commander-in-chief of a cavalry regiment, and he had no experience in commanding an army of tens of thousands.
But Sun Chuanting had a good student, Zhu Youjian. In the past six or seven years, Zhu Youjian had taught several of his officials how to be officials - whose teacher is responsible for teaching!
Zhu Youjian is now a very responsible student, and of course he has to teach his teacher well.
Among them, four teachers, Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting, learned to lead troops in war under the arrangement of Zhu Youjian, a good student... Even if they were sent out to serve as the general soldier of a town or the governor of a party, Zhu Youjian The inspector will also arrange their studies, and they will be checked when they meet. We can't let the four teachers waste their studies!
Another of Zhu Youjian's lecturers, Kong Zhenyun, a concubine of the Southern Kong Dynasty, under Zhu Youjian's arrangement, studied a strange book on Qionghua Island in the Taiye Pool in Xiyuan...
Now Kong Zhenyun is still in seclusion on Qionghua Island, but Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting have already achieved academic success, fully mastering the essence of various military techniques taught by Zhu Youjian, and they can also learn and apply them.
In addition to learning the art of war taught by his students, Sun Chuanting's confidence in victory also comes from the strongest soldier in the world who Zhu Youjian left at Beiyuan Camp in Beijing - the Zhangqian Left Army, also known as the Zhangqian Youth Army!
Although this young army in front of the tent has never been on the battlefield like Sun Chuanting and the commander-in-chief Lu Xiangsheng who directly commanded them, Sun Chuanting is very aware of their strength!
They are the real strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, even stronger than the Zhangqian Youjun (Laodangqianjun) who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has never been defeated!
Because this strong soldier is an elite soldier that Zhu Youjian spent five or six years to capture from childhood. Most of the soldiers in the Zhangqian Right Army are from the Zhangqian Youth Army (of course the Youth Army is still there, and they have to continue to provide soldiers for the Zhangqian Army). They all joined the army in their teens and went through several years of rigorous training. and an army that is loyal and good at fighting through the education of a loyal king.
Moreover, everyone in the army knew the book and practiced writing. They were soldiers with both civil and military skills.
Since ancient times, there has probably been no elite soldier comparable to them.
With more than 20,000 young people in front of the tent, Huang Taiji's Eight Banners soldiers were really not in Sun Chuanting's eyes.
That's why he has the confidence to win!
...
The Beiyuan Camp in Beijing is now a scene of chilling.
The young soldiers of the Left Army in front of the tent led by Lu Xiangsheng, and the athletes of the Eight Prefectures of the Dianqian Army led by Sun Chuanting. Under their respective military and regimental flags, they all stood solemnly in the school grounds. The soldiers and armor are neatly arranged, and the guns and cannons are cold.
The Youth Army in front of the tent and the army in front of the palace not only have elite soldiers, but also sophisticated firearms!
Among them, the proportion of firearms in each battalion of the Youth Army Infantry in front of the tent reached 50%! A battalion with 1,000 soldiers has a total of 500 fire gun soldiers equipped with turtle dove guns!
Moreover, these fire gun soldiers are not only skilled in using turtle dove guns, but are also good at melee combat!
The firecracker holder they use is specially designed. In addition to being able to hold the firecracker, it can also be used as a javelin for throwing! In addition, each youth army gunner is also equipped with an iron mace and a small buckler (tied to the left arm) for fighting. After throwing the "javelin", he can also use the mace and small shield to engage in close combat with the enemy. , and can also cooperate with the spear formation to fight.
Because these fire gun soldiers have strong melee combat capabilities, there are no longer dedicated sword soldiers in the Youth Army, but the fire gun soldiers work part-time. Therefore, the number of turtledove muskets attached to the Youth Army Infantry Camp in front of the tent can be as many as 500!
In addition, these young fire gun soldiers have been trained for a long time, and their proficiency in fire gun soldiers is not comparable to that of ordinary fire gun soldiers, so their rate of fire and accuracy are also extremely high...the same one The firepower exerted by the infantry battalion could have been more than doubled!
In addition to having a powerful infantry, the cavalry and artillery of the Youth Army in front of the tent are also the best among all armies!
Because cavalry and artillery need to be started from childhood!
The Zhangqian Youth Army is the strongest soldier in the world, and the Dianqian Army standing with them is composed of members of the Eight Prefecture regiments who have taken turns to serve in the camp, and their training and equipment levels are not as good as the former, but they are also the first-class strong soldiers. !
They just took turns to serve as garrison in Beijing, and they were not farmers or soldiers - the Bafu Tuanlian in Beizhili were also elite soldiers who were in camp at all times! The reason why they were allowed to take turns entering the capital was mainly because they were afraid that they would be mastered by the commander-in-chief of the Dianqian Army and make a plan to become emperor...
In addition, the cavalry and artillery of the Dianqian Army are independent units and are not squad troops taking turns to defend. Although the strength is not as good as the cavalry and artillery of the Youth Army, it is not inferior to the cavalry and artillery of the Lao Zhangqian Army.
Now in the school grounds, about 50,000 troops from the Youth Army in front of the Tent and the Army in Front of the Palace were lined up neatly and in complete silence. Zhangsan's spears all stood with their tips pointing upward, forming a forest of square spears that emitted a frightening light under the sunlight. The turtle dove gun was carried on the shoulders of the fire gun soldier, and the black gun barrel also exuded a murderous aura that made people's hair stand on end.
The cavalry and artillery formed separate formations. The cavalry did not mount their horses. Instead, they stood with their helmets pierced, lances in hand, and their horses. Many of them also carried Rumi guns, which were specially designed to be evil.
Outside the school grounds, a group of civil and military officials on horseback were galloping slowly, surrounded by a boy riding a little red horse.
Needless to say, that boy was Zhu Cixiang who had just committed the crime of abetting murder.
He is now wearing a small half-body black plate armor, an eight-petal iron helmet, and a red cape. He is majestic and does not look like a small criminal...
After riding his little red horse to the school grounds, the child Zhu Cixiang began to pretentiously review, riding his horse past one battalion phalanx after another, looking at the neat formations that seemed to be cut with knives and axes, imitating his father's example. He nodded gently with a royal look - as if he really understood!
"I sincerely wish your great nephew a long blessing and a happy life!"
Every time Zhu Cihong came to a battalion square formation, the officers and soldiers of this battalion shouted the loudest - the officers and soldiers already knew about the "7-year-old nephew murder incident"! But the murders that reached their ears were out of shape.
It was no longer Zhu Cihong who wanted to kill the envoy, but the slave envoy who wanted to assassinate, but Zhu Cihong shot one of them with a bow and arrow!
Well, you can shoot assassins at the age of 7. When you grow up, you will definitely be the second best in Chongzhen!
It seems that the prosperity of Ming Dynasty can be maintained for many more years! If you follow Chongzhen and his son, your future prosperity and wealth are guaranteed.
In a corner of the school grounds, two people were standing side by side, watching Zhu Cixiang inspecting the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty from a distance.
One of these two people is Shi Kefa, the governor of the Eight Prefectures, and the other is Sony who survived.
Shi Kefa has helped Sony a lot these days. He not only found the best coffin shop in the capital for Sony, bought two high-quality coffins, but also invited an eminent monk from Mount Wutai to give Xifu a good blessing - he could only To save Xifu, we cannot save Fan Wencheng, because Fan Wencheng's head was used to sacrifice the flag...
Now seeing the 50,000 elite soldiers taking the oath of loyalty on the school field, Sony's face turned a little pale... Who said that only Zhu Youjian and Wu Liangha could fight the Ming Dynasty? No matter how you look at it, the elite soldiers here are very capable of fighting!
And when Huang Taiji made the plan, they weren't even considered!
Huang Taiji only counted the elite soldiers of Yanning and Jiliao - because he wanted to defend the city and besiege Jinzhou. Therefore, the elite troops in these two places cannot be completely concentrated. It would be good to put 60,000 people in one place. Huang Taiji was always invincible no matter what. Now, he has 50,000 more elite soldiers, which is 110,000...
Huang Taiji’s Five Out of Yanshan is about to be finished!
In addition, this Huang Taiji has always compared himself to Zhuge Liang, and even compared the five expeditions from Yanshan to the six expeditions from Qishan... But Sony knew that Zhuge Liang did not have six expeditions from Qishan at all, that was in Luo Guanzhongli. Zhuge Liang actually made five Northern Expeditions, He died of illness in Wuzhangyuan for the last time!
And Huang Taiji is now fifth...
