After E Bilun left, Mang Gurtai also needed to select some brave soldiers from the flag soldiers of Zhenglan Banner.
Naturally, not everyone can do this kind of hard battle to break through the pass. Even among the Eight Banners soldiers, there are strong and weak.
The cavalry in the Han army are naturally the elite of the army.
After E Bilun conveyed Mang Gurtai's order to the general of the Han army, he returned directly instead of staying here.
The previous two attacks had used Han troops, and so many Han cavalry had been killed and injured. Now that Han troops were used as the main force of the attack, he was a little embarrassed to continue facing the Han army's general.
"What the hell, you really risk our lives." A general in the Han army cursed.
He is the number two figure in this Han army.
"Okay, just say a few words. The people from Zhenglan Banner will act with us this time." The person who spoke was a third-class general soldier who was the leader of the Han army.
The general said with an ugly face: "It's better to let our people block the sword in front, let them have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and let them go to the front if they have the ability."
"Stop saying this kind of thing. Since we are following Daijin now, don't follow the example of the Ming army and work hard. You also know the methods of Daijin. If you don't respect orders, you will be beheaded." The third-class soldier said.
The general curled his lips when he heard this and said: "They will only chop off the heads of our Han generals. Even if those Eight Banners generals made mistakes, they can at most fine them some cattle or pay some money to settle the matter."
"You still want to compete with those Eight Banners generals, do you think you are worthy?" The third-class general soldier rolled his eyes.
The general said: "Then we can't take the lives of our Han army as our fate. We only have so many elites in our hands. If all of them die, the Jurchens will not be able to replenish us. When the time comes, I, the general, will not be able to replenish them." With you as the commander-in-chief, everyone might be put to death."
The third-class commander-in-chief fell silent after hearing this.
Daikin is the most realistic. If you have strength, you will naturally be respected. If you don't have strength, you will be worse than a slave in Daikin.
"Baylor has promised us that as long as we capture Fifty Village Posts, we will give priority to replenishing our troops. You have also seen the tiger bandit's soldiers. They are much stronger than the Ming army. If we can replenish them, we will be compensated now. Some lives are worth it," said the third-class soldier.
The general said: "What if we can't take Fifty Village Post? I don't believe you can't feel it in the previous battle. The tiger thieves and horses guarding Fifty Village Post are not that easy to deal with. Otherwise, the last time Zhenglan Banner came Even if we attack Jinzhou City, we will not fail."
"Do you think we have a choice?" the third-class soldier asked.
This time it was the general's turn to be silent.
They had no choice, and their life in Daijin was not as easy as that of the Ming army. As long as they had money in their hands and curry favor with the superior officials, their life should not be too comfortable.
"Go and get ready!" The third-class commander patted the general's arm with his hand.
Regardless of whether they wanted to or not, they did not dare to disobey Mang Gurtai's orders.
The Han cavalry who had just returned must rest for a while. After all, people can persist, and the horses also need to recover their strength.
Mang Gurtai did not push too hard and gave them some time.
Almost half an hour later, Mang Gurtai's military order was sent over again.
The Han army began to gather all the cavalry. Except for the third-class general soldier who left a few personal guards, the others were handed over to the general.
The fighting for a while required the Han army general to lead the team in person.
When the Han army was almost ready and just short of getting the order to attack, E Bilun came over on horseback.
"How are the preparations going?" E Bilun asked the third-class general soldier.
The third-class commander glanced at the cavalry gathered not far away and said, "It's almost done. We just need to wait for an order from Baylor and we can immediately launch an attack on the pass in front."
"Things are going well." E Bilun nodded and said immediately, "My aunt asked me to tell you that every cavalry must carry an infantry, and there are as many infantry as there are cavalry. Understand. ?"
The third-class general soldier who heard this frowned and said, "Why did Lord Beile give such an order? Carrying one more person on a war horse is very detrimental to the cavalry's charge."
"I ask you to bring one more person to move the Juma and Luzhai in front of the gate. If you don't bring the infantry, it's hard to ask the cavalry to dismount and move those things." E Bilun said.
The third-class general soldier who heard this said: "With one more person, the war horse will definitely not be able to run very fast. Ordinary infantry also carry swords and weapons. All these weights are added to the war horse, which consumes too much horsepower. On the way to the pass, It’s very easy to take a few more shots because of the drag of one more person.”
"That's why each of your cavalrymen is asked to bring an infantry. Even if there are some casualties on the road, there will still be enough people to be brought over. As for the infantry, don't bring any armor. Their task is to move and block the pass. The Juma and Luzhai ensure that our cavalry can enter the pass." E Bilun said.
After listening to E Bilun's explanation, the third-class commander felt very uncomfortable.
They were obviously using their Han soldiers and horses as cannon fodder.
E Bilun glanced at the third-class commander-in-chief of the Han Army in front of him, and threatened: "I am not discussing with you, but I am conveying my Ama's order. You should know what will happen if you disobey."
"We, the Han army, will definitely obey Lord Beile's order." The third-class general soldier felt uncomfortable, but he still nodded in agreement.
He didn't have the guts to disobey Mang Gurtai's order.
Moreover, he chose to leave the camp with Mang Gurtai, so he could only follow Mang Gurtai to the dark side.
"Hurry up and get ready. Orders will be sent over soon." E Bilun turned the horse's head and rode back to Mang Gurtai.
After watching E Bilun leave, the third-class general immediately arranged for a group of several hundred Han infantry to drop their armor and move with the cavalry.
The general of the Han army came over angrily.
"What's going on? What are you doing with so many infantry?" The general asked the third-class general in front of him as soon as he came up.
"It's Lord Beile's order." The third-class commander explained the matter.
The ginseng general's face darkened.
But he knew he couldn't refuse, so he angrily returned to the cavalry to arrange the infantry matters.
Not long after, one of Mang Gurtai's men, Bagala, came to the Han army.
"Master asked me to ask you, are you ready to explain everything to you?"
"Everything is ready."
"Now that you are ready, let's send out troops. The master will be watching you from behind."
"Please tell Lord Beile that we will send troops immediately." The third-class general soldier of the Han army said to Bagala in front of him, and then turned to his personal guards and said, "Send the order and attack."
