    The northwest wind howled, picking up the remaining snow on the ground and washing away everything in its path.

    Somewhere in the northern part of the Hetao, in an area of ??dense water and grass covering a radius of more than ten miles, thousands of Mongolian tents are divided into several areas, completely occupying the entire water and grass area.

    In a tent in the East District, Toothless sat at the table, concentrating on disassembling the revolver into parts, wiping them one by one, and then reassembling them.  Across the table, Zhu Ding looked solemn, looking at the big map in a daze.

    Click!  Chachacha

    Wu Teeth closed the gun, pulled the wheel, and loaded the bullet, a series of clean and neat techniques, interrupting Zhu Ding from his meditation.

    Zhu Ding smiled bitterly: "Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods has to be thrown away! I used to only think that your guns were sharp, but now that our army is equipped with muskets, I realize that muskets and muskets are also different!"

    Toothless smiled and said, "You have to ask Qin Shuai about this! Our young masters treat everyone equally. If we have something, as long as Qin Shuai asks, we will give him whatever he wants! Qin Shuai himself is unwilling to part with it, so it's no wonder that young master."

    "Qin Shuai thought about it too, but it's too expensive! Five rounds of your brass bullets are worth one tael of silver. During training, each person has to shoot twenty rounds a day, which is four taels of silver! Lord God,  A soldier only earns four taels a year! With this training method, if you don¡¯t say you can¡¯t win the battle, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely impeach you first. How much more to fight? You will die of poverty before you can defeat the enemy!"

    Toothless turned off the safety and put the gun back into his waist: "Qin Shuai is not short of money now! Not to mention the money earned by the prisoners, just because of the great prosperity of Guyuan Business Road, he has made a lot of money this year, right? Your Majesty has been exempted from the three sides for ten years  There is no need to pay taxes and taxes, Qin Shuai will keep it all for himself."

    Zhu Ding's face darkened: "Before, Guyuan's income was more than enough to support hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on three sides. But now I really dare not say that when I bought the cavalry sword last year, I thought it was worth the money. Looking at it again this year, I can't wait to sell it.  They exchanged their knives for guns. But the muskets in Xiaohewan are really not affordable for ordinary people! The pellet gun costs thirty taels per shot, and every five rounds costs one tael of silver. Only a wealthy man like Qianhu can afford it"

    "The flintlock guns you are equipped with this time are not bad! Besides, I really don't treat you as outsiders. Not only do I sell guns and projectiles, I even gave Qin Shuai a copy of the gunpowder formula. With that gunpowder factory, what can you do?  How much money can you save? Not to mention you can resell the gunpowder and make a profit! Our gunpowder is infinitely better than the one issued by the Ministry of War."

    Zhu Ding shook his head and made a strange face: "It's indeed good! We must also thank Qianhu for being willing to send instructors to help train troops. Otherwise, we have to explore on our own, and we don't know when we will be able to form combat capabilities."

    The orderly served hot milk tea, and the two sat across from each other to hold the cups.

    Toothless took a sip while it was hot and said, "Come to the Hetao to compete and practice. I can clearly feel that I have made a lot of progress!"

    Zhu Ding said: "Thanks to you guys supporting me, I have confidence in my heart! This war depends on this spirit! When the spirit is strong, a sheep dares to stand up to a wolf. When the spirit is gone, a wolf is not as good as a sheep! You say, little one  Is the prince really going to come this way? We have been waiting for three days!"

    Toothless said with a smile: "This is the most fertile place for water and grass in the Hetao. It's not whether he can choose it. It's that he has no choice! Otherwise, the tens of thousands of animals alone would drag him to death! Oh, the little prince is a good man.  , knowing that we are short of money recently, I came here to send warmth. With this batch of animals, this year will be another fat year!"

    Zhu Ding was stunned, and grinned happily for a long time: "That's right. Qin Shuai also pointed these two-legged animals to go back to mine and open up wasteland. Ha, with this batch of goods, Qin Shuai might be happy when he returns.  Get us some revolvers. Oh my, this thing is so cool!"

    Toothless gave him a white look: "It's useless to be handsome! It's not that you are ungrateful, there are regulations on gun management! If you really want to play, go back to see me and go to the shooting range to play casually!"

    Zhu Ding gave a thumbs up: "I will obey the military laws of your new army!"

    "Exactly! The military law of the Ming Dynasty is not bad either. As I said, what is bad is not the law itself, but the execution ability!"

    "Report!" The guard outside the tent interrupted: "Captain, the reconnaissance company is back!"

    The tent curtain was raised, and the four spirits dressed as Mongolian herdsmen strode into the tent and raised their hands in salute.  Zhu Ding subconsciously followed Toothless in returning the gift.

    Si Ling took off the cylinder from his back and handed it to Toothless. Then he stomped his feet to keep warm. He picked up Toothless's milk tea and poured it into his stomach. He let out a long breath: "I had a fight with the little prince's scouts and deliberately didn't fire my gun.  Hehe, I chopped three, caught six tongues, and let two go."

    Toothless pulled out the map from the cylinder and looked carefully at the message marked on it: "One thousand eight hundred accounts, thirty thousand people? Which branch is this?"

    "It's the Yibula tribe. The tongue confessed that the little prince occupied the old city of Dongshengwei and only gave Yibula a little soup and water. Yibula's men were dissatisfied and took some people with him.?Come out and thresh the paddy.  Along the way, we have already robbed four or five small tribes.  It's a time of high spirits.  According to their speed, they can arrive tomorrow evening.  "

    "The main force of the little prince is still in the old city and has not moved?"

    "According to what I'm saying, it seems that the little prince is determined to expand the old city and plans to use it as a base for going south."

    Toothless sneered: "It's interesting! I said, if the mountain doesn't come, I will come to the mountain, so I will come to the mountain! Order down, break camp and move forward, eat Yibula in one fell swoop tomorrow, and then we will send troops to Dongshengwei Old City to give  Happy New Year to the little prince!"

    Zhu Ding was still a little uneasy: "Brother Toothless! I know about your new army, but after all, our side is still using muskets for the first time. For such a big battle, should we pick a high ground or something to get a good location first?"  !¡±

    Toothless advised him: "Muskets are hot weapons, and the tactics are different from the cold weapons before. As I said, this is civilization crushing barbarism! If under the same conditions, we cannot achieve absolute advantage. Then what?  What are you talking about about crushing?! Commander Zhu, times have changed!"

    Zhu Ding had no choice but to nod: "Shuai Qin said that this time when training, everything will be subject to your orders. I am just suggesting that since you insist. I will obey the orders!"

    In the afternoon of the next day, the two sides met on the grassland.  The Ming army formed ten thousand-man phalanxes, and Zhu Ding's five thousand musketeers and five thousand new troops formed cross formations. Toothless kept a reserve of about two thousand men on hand.

    The guests had set off last night, leading three thousand cavalry into the vast Gobi desert to make circuitous maneuvers.

    This time, the New Army and the Border Army jointly trained, and many subjects were conducted for the first time.  Neither Toothless nor Zhu Ding expected that welcoming guests would have much effect. They only hoped that they could take this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new tactics of using compasses and maps to guide operations.

    It was only then that Yibula realized that the people facing him were not the Tatar tribe at all, but seemed to be the elite of the Ming army.  Although he didn't know why Ming Jun suddenly became so bold, at this moment, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.

    Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the battle started.

    Like the traditional Mongolian warfare method, Yibula first sent out two thousand cavalry and archery experts to try to charge a formation.

    Two thousand Mongolians screamed excitedly, with the rider in front and the sword in hand, they discharged two arrows and charged forward in steps.

    By coincidence, the two arrows were pointing towards Zhu Ding, who had just been equipped with muskets for more than a month.

    What is different from earlier is that among the soldiers who are neatly arrayed here, the ones with obviously different colors are the instructors from the New Army.  They stood in the front row of their respective students, facing the enemy's attack.

    "Ready!" The command was surprisingly unanimous, and the new troops raised their guns in unison.  The instructors, armed with revolvers and sabers, all had solemn faces at this time, watching helplessly as the Mongols tried to rush into the bow and arrow range and play their usual throwing tricks.

    When the opponent ran within a hundred meters, the instructors simultaneously ordered: "Fire!"

    Bang bang bang!  The gunshots sounded like exploding beans, and the roaring Mongolian warriors seemed to have hit an invisible wall. Bloody flowers burst out from their bodies, and they screamed and fell off their horses.  Some horses were hit and threw themselves into the street, throwing their riders aside.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What an elite, that is, the formation looks better, but against the Mongolian warriors, they are nothing more than a bunch of two-legged sheep!

    ¡° Then I discovered that the cavalry were charging into the street one after another, and I was so shocked that I almost jumped off my horse.

    How can it be?  Why can the Ming army's firecrackers hit so far?

    His impression of the fire gun was still that of a three-eyed gun that exploded in the face and might not be able to hit a person, and then had to rely on using the three-eyed gun head as a hammer to hit people.  This kind of firepower beyond the range of a mounted gunnery was completely beyond his understanding and resemblance.

    Cavalry charge is not a game. Once it starts to charge, it is difficult to stop.  The Mongolian cavalry have long been accustomed to shooting arrows with light bows as close as thirty steps at the front, while at the same time throwing heavy arrows from seventy steps away to form a stepped strike.

    No one expected that this time, before their heavy archers could get into position and the light riders could draw their bows, their opponents fired first.  The key is that the lethality of this firepower is unbelievable!

    What kind of firearm is this?  !
