Instead of the previous modes of transportation, we devoted ourselves to it.

However, although these changes are large, they are still difficult to transmit to the northern inland provinces, let alone Zhu Youxiao who is far away on the grasslands.

Standing on a high watchtower car, he looked around with binoculars. From time to time, he issued some flags through the messengers, adjusted the entire military formation, and practiced various marching methods and enemy methods.

The entire system and combat methods of the new army were established by him. He knew every detail here very well. Now that he could see clearly from a high position, he could naturally see the shortcomings at a glance.

After coming to the grassland, after many days of journey, he finally discovered why it was difficult for infantry to defeat cavalry in this place. The vast grassland was the biggest enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty. Here, cavalry could attack from anywhere in all directions.

The infantry wanted to fight against the cavalry, so they had no choice but to form formations.

However, there is a problem with the direction of the formation. Only a round formation or a square formation like this can not be afraid of a sudden attack by the cavalry.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao is not afraid of cavalry raids. He has 50,000 musketeers, not to mention he also has 300 mortars. A single salvo will panic a huge cavalry team.

, and then came the mid-range musket fire. There were only a few cavalry who could really rush in front of them, and these were dealt with by the heavily armored spearmen wrapped up in their bodies.

Therefore, the real test of this army is its own command and order system. When to shoot, when to fire artillery, when to concentrate, and when to fire freely, these all need to be directed by grassroots officers on the front line.

And these are the reasons why Zhu Youxiao keeps practicing and does not choose to march. Only he, the pioneer, can easily discover and solve problems. If anyone else were to serve as commander-in-chief, it would be impossible for him to do better than him.

alright.

Because this is the army he created.

The news spread widely that a large number of Ming troops set out to conquer the grasslands. This could not be concealed at all. The cavalry carrying out covert missions on a large scale and the business teams everywhere leaked the information.

As Zhu Youxiao gradually deviated from the border wall and slowly penetrated into the grassland, the scattered cavalrymen encountered some random people and reconnaissance cavalry of unknown origins, but they did not encounter any Mongolian tribesmen, including those noted on his way.

There should be tribes grazing livestock but there is no one near the water source.

Looking at the remnants of various tribal life along the way, Zhu Youxiao had an unknown premonition in his heart, and this feeling reached its peak after arriving at the territory of the Karaqin people, Duoyan Sanwei.

The place where Zhu Youxiao left the fortress was Zhangjiakou, which was right in the middle of Mongolia on the right. The Ordos, Tumut and other tribes were behind Zhu Youxiao's group, while the Haraqin people were in front of him.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the contradiction between the right-wing Mongolia and the Chahar tribe to eliminate and conquer Mongolia first. However, he did not expect that after arriving here, he did not meet a single Mongolian tribe.

In the original place, there are only a large number of messy traces of human and animal activities, as well as the ruins of the former Duoyan Sanwei.

"I'm afraid these Mongolians have united together!" Zhu Youxiao frowned and made such a bold guess. Only this guess could explain what he saw along the way.

After all, Lin Dan Khan was the Great Khan of Mongolia. He could make the Chahar tribe gradually become stronger and stronger even though Mongolia was in ruins. It was even possible to unify Southern Mongolia without the intervention of the Jurchens. How could he have some political acumen and skills?
