The proportion of infantry and cavalry in the official army is generally three steps and seven steps, but the soldiers and horses in Shandong definitely do not meet this standard. First of all, most of them were deducted when the salary was issued. In addition, the practice of military officers raising family members, there are really few horses.

The size of three thousand people was only more than one hundred cavalrymen, all of which were the mounts of Wu Anbang's servants. The battle was not good, so Wu Anbang directly took the more than one hundred cavalry to run away.

The remaining officials could only escape with two legs, but these officials could not run better than the Zhao family's private army, which often carried heavy loads and crossed the country. All the officials who fled to the north and south directions were caught and captured.

The official army swimming across the Baiyang River hit the cavalry led by Lin Yi head-on, but they were wet all over. When the official army trembled in the cold wind hit the cavalry blocking the road ahead, some of the official army even sat on the ground and started crying loudly.

The 150 cavalry arranged by Zhao Yan on the east bank saw Wu Anbang fleeing south with a team of cavalry, and followed him and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

...

The work of captive captives continued until night fell, and Zhao Yan gathered his men back.

Teams of prisoners were confiscated and their weapons were concentrated, and roughly looked like there were more than a thousand people.

Zhang Buyun and his men took the prisoners and reported: "In this battle, 1,835 prisoners were captured, and 721 other bodies were found, with more than 400 officers and soldiers missing."

"That's all the more than 400 people, let them go!" Zhao Yan was still very satisfied with the results of the battle. Although these official troops were also a mob, Denglai was managed by nearly ten governors and turned out to be a strategic location that was restrained by the sea, so most of these officers and soldiers were young and strong.

"How are our army's casualties?" Zhao Yan turned to Zhao Yong and Lin Yi and asked.

"Five people were killed in the first camp, and eleven people were injured, most of them were injured by crossbows." Zhao Yong said as he curled his lips: "These officers and soldiers have not yet been able to destroy the bandits last time."

"There are no casualties in the Cavalry Battalion, I just don't know what happened to the brothers who went to pursue Wu Anbang." Lin Yi said.

"Yeah!" Zhao Yan nodded, and the casualties in this battle still appeared. After all, although the official army did not bring artillery and the muskets in their hands did not hit anyone, they were equipped with some crossbows.

Zhao Yan currently uses intensive tactics, and this formation is more dangerous to the official army with artillery. The official army usually places artillery at the front, so that it can only bombard once, but only once may cause relatively large casualties.

This field artillery tactic was first used by Zhu Di. Zhu Di's tactic was to use artillery to bombard the enemy's cavalry first, and then use his own cavalry to attack the opponent.

This tactic has been used all the time.

For the hunting people like the Qing Dynasty, it is already a bit outdated.

At the same time, soldiers also lack protection, and crossbows can easily cause casualties when they enter the crossbow.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the camp.

The cavalry that was chasing returned, and soon went to pursue Wu Anbang's cavalry company commander and entered the camp and saluted.

"Have you chased the general?" Lin Yi asked hurriedly.

The company commander reported: "Report to the commander, he did not catch up."

"Drink a sip of water first, forget it if you don't catch up." Zhao Yan said indifferently. The company commander took the water bag he handed over and drank two sips, and then he began to talk about the pursuit process.

In general, they caught up with Wu Anbang and bite him. However, because of their incompetence in archery, only more than 20 people were intercepted.

Currently, the long-range killing method used by the cavalry battalion is riding a bow, which is a compound bow. Longbows are not easy to use on horseback, so compound bows are still used.

After all, the cavalry battalion was established for a short time, so naturally it was impossible to get up in archery.

The cavalry's long-range killing equipment must also be considered for replacement, and bows and arrows will sooner or later be eliminated. Before the rifle appears, the cavalry usually uses revolver pistols and muskets.

The guns used by cavalry will be much shorter, and the focus is on lightness.

"But the officials captured Wu Anbang's counselor." The company commander said, and someone dragged a man of twenty-five or six years old. The man was wearing a Confucian shirt, with some beard, and was tied up all over.

Zhang Buyun was shocked when he saw this man, and opened his eyes hard and said in surprise: "Zhongping, why are you here?"

The man was also stunned, looked at Zhang Buyun in shock and said, "Wenlong, you..."

Zhang Buyun was stunned and quickly reacted, stepped forward and said to Zhao Yan: "Lord, this is my friend Liu Heng, whose courtesy name is Zhongping. He is a master of the first year and is quite knowledgeable about military affairs."

"Journalist?" Zhao Yan was shocked. Logically speaking, a Juren should be more arrogant, so how could he be a general as a counselor?

"Zhongping, this is my lord Zhao Yan. Seeing the turmoil of the world, he diligently practiced his hometown bravery and was determined to pacify the world." Zhang Buyun then introduced Liu Heng.

"Hmph! To put it nicely, since that's the case, why dare to attack the official army?" Liu Heng snorted coldly, tilted his face, with a heroic and unyielding expression.

"Zhongping's words are wrong. Wu Anbang plotted against my lord and his family to attract troops to invade. Could it be that my lord and his family should be killed?" Zhang Buyun shook his head and said.

Zhao Yan looked at Zhang Buyun's actions and knew his meaning. He was nothing more than asking Zhao Yan to recruit talents and help Liu Heng. Liu Heng is a juren, and his diploma is so high that he has some skills. It is good to recruit subordinates.

Liu Heng seemed to be quite tough, but Zhao Yan was not worried at all. These literati just wanted a step down. If there was no decent step down for them, they would be stubborn to the end.

Although some literati have no ability in normal times, in order to gain a good reputation in history books, they will fight to the end when fighting the invasion of foreign races. This kind of people still existed in the late Ming Dynasty, but there were much fewer than the Song Dynasty. For example, Zhu Dadian, the current governor of Shandong, is one of them.

But Liu Heng is also a small person. Even if he was stubborn, he would not leave any words in the history books.

Since Zhang Buyun knew him, this step is naturally easy to set.

"Haha! Don't talk about this! Since it's Wenlong's friend, please loosen it for him." Zhao Yan said to his left and right, and the guard beside Zhao Yan immediately untied the rope on Liu Heng's body.

Liu Heng still looked deadly. Zhao Yan and Zhang Buyun could see clearly what his mentality was. Zhang Buyun stepped forward and pulled him up and asked, "How could Zhongping run to Wu Anbang to be a strategist?"

"Shandong is not stable, so I went to Wu'anbang to have a position." Liu Heng said stiffly.

"Then Zhongping has found the wrong person. Wu Anbang is just a fool. He is incompetent in governing the army, and he is a fish and meat to harm the people. How can he assist him?" Zhang Buyun sighed, "Zhongping, you are studying military affairs. Look at the soldiers and horses of my lord, how do you compare to Wu Anbang?"

"The firearm is sharp and the formation is tight, and it is better than Wu Anbang." Liu Heng said after pondering for a moment.

"That's it. My lord trained the local hero for only half a year. He can defeat the crowd and defeat them completely. Who can compare with the world? Zhongping, you are a secret beating!"

It’s time to go to Sanjiang, so please give me some more votes. Please give me some rewards and evaluation tickets! Otherwise, it would be ugly now.

I would like to answer several questions criticized by readers.

The first is the issue of applying thousands of kilograms of farm fertilizer per acre.

Some readers say that if a mu of land cannot put so much fertilizer, it may kill the crops.

But this quantity was given by experts in the sweet potato planting video, and it was not written by a rookie. A mu of land is quite large, how can it not be processed by thousands of kilograms? How can tens of thousands of kilograms of sweet potato grow into the field?

In addition, farm manure is not only the manure of some livestock, but also the ash of plants and wood, or the straw and weeds are piled into the soil.

Second, some readers said that the craftsman who built the city wall gave him too much money for ten taels of silver a month.

Do you know the concept of high salary and integrity? Zhu Yuanzhang was stingy, and officials continued to embezzle in order to increase their income.

The craftsmen who built the city walls can be said to be a talented person! What's wrong with giving ten taels of silver?

Besides, if you give 300 taels of silver for the death, it was after all that was in the turmoil of the Ming Dynasty. The status of soldiers should be raised, and the high compensation for deaths can improve a lot of combat effectiveness.

In addition, the protagonist is taking the elite military route, not the kind who raises hundreds of thousands of people at any time. What if the military pay is higher?

What's more, these pensions for death can be converted into real estate!
