Chapter 59: Which tribe to fight first
In fact, combat effectiveness comes from the courage to fight.
In the era of cold weapons, the so-called strong army also relied on manpower, equipment and discipline, as well as the spirit of daring to fight and fight.
Even if you are strong, how strong can you be?
The disparity is so great that one can use drones to eliminate hostile parties at targeted locations?
As long as a hundred spearmen dared to scream and stab the invading enemy with their spears, the white-armored soldiers of the slaves would also be stabbed into a honeycomb.
The Han people who no longer want to be slaves must have courage. In order to defend their homeland, they should be able to fight.
Huang Yi has not requested training on live ammunition firing of matchlock guns for the time being.
Ten women and 20 teenagers were practicing the end-to-end grab and aim, under the demonstration and supervision of Zhao Yong and Li Wanquan, and practiced the steps of loading, shooting and releasing over and over again.
Including Huang Dayong and Huang Dashuang who have recovered from injuries, there are more than thirty teenagers and young and middle-aged men practicing archery. They are all relatively strong and have a certain foundation.
Huang Yi had a lot of captured ox-horn bows and feather arrows in his hands. Unfortunately, the only ones capable of archery skills were the Hu Xiaochuan brothers, Charahe, Gerda, Ya Moboli, Huang Dazhi and seventeen others.
.
Archery is not a high-end skill. As the oil seller said, "But you are familiar with it!"
As long as you have decent arm strength and practice hard every day, you can still play a role in defensive battles even if you can't pierce the enemy with a hundred steps.
In the future, even if you have a large number of matchlocks, you can't give up bows and arrows. After all, bending a bow and setting an arrow is much faster than loading a matchlock.
Matchlock guns also have many disadvantages, such as making too much noise and easily exposing the target.
Another example is that no one can be sure whether the game can be played on windy or rainy days. Archery can be done almost all day long.
Of course, if it rains continuously for a month or two, the bow and arrow will become useless, but it is impossible for the north to encounter such extremely humid weather.
Moreover, gunpowder and lead bullets are not cheap. Each shot is worth no less than two kilograms of wheat. Compared with the recyclable feather arrows, the cost is too high.
Everything Huang Yi did can be summed up in one sentence. From now on, everyone in the Huang family will be a soldier.
He estimated that in three months, the Huang family, with all the people in the army, would be able to defeat the defenders, even if the slaves brought in a powerful force.
Of course, this situation is unlikely to happen for the time being.
Huang Yi didn't make a mini gun for the time being. He didn't want to use gold fingers in Hedanbaat'er's tribe, and he didn't even do it by repeatedly distilling the purchased shochu to extract alcohol.
He had already looked through the information and structural diagrams about the Mini gun saved in his mobile phone.
I feel that due to the current material of steel, the wall thickness of the forged barrel must be increased, which will result in the weight of the mini gun being much greater than that of the Lumi gun.
Huang Yi is so strong now that even if the minigun he made weighs ten kilograms, he can still hold it flat and aim and shoot.
Anyway, future musketeers will still generally be equipped with bird blunderbuss and Lumi blunderbuss, which were widely used by the Ming army.
Huang Yi just tried to make a few miniguns with exquisite craftsmanship, so that he could use them to snipe enemy generals.
Of course, if you can find someone with shooting talent among Zhong, Xiao, Shuang, Quan, Peng, etc., you can also train them to become snipers.
On the second day after returning to the tribe's winter camp, Huang Yi asked Zhang and Li to cook some dishes and treat Hedanbaatar, Karitu, Morigen, Huhlu and other nine people to drink.
What attracted these Mongolians the most was the unique aroma of a large plate of golden scrambled eggs.
Karitu, Morigen and the others are simply salivating!
Huang Yi bought 200 kilograms of eggs to hatch chicks.
The scrambled eggs we ate today were all illuminated with a powerful flashlight from a power bank and were not fertilized.
It may be the first time for nine Mongolians, including Hedanbaatar, to drink strong wine and eat stir-fried vegetables. The more they drank, the happier they became.
Counting Huang Yi, a Han man who was equivalent to a strategist and advisor, the ten people drinking and chatting together were the backbone of the entire tribe.
No one else needed to translate. Mo Rigen could understand Chinese, but he didn't speak it smoothly.
Huang Yi took advantage of the wine to talk to them about his plans to take the Han people and the Mongolian families who belonged to him to settle in the mountains.
The Han people opened up wasteland for farming, and the Mongolians grazed cattle, and promised to pay no less than one hundred stones of wheat to the tribe every year in the future.
In fact, Mongolian tribes all herd separately. Otherwise, how would so many cattle, sheep and horses gather together to graze?
Usually, they gather gradually after autumn to spend the most difficult winter together.
In spring, Mongolians basically graze their cattle individually as a family unit.
Although Hedanbaatar has never planted land, he knows that if he wants to harvest wheat, he must ensure spring plowing and autumn harvest.
Huang Yi took his population to farm, and Hedanbaatar had nothing to lose, so of course he supported it.
During this time, he has been worried that Huang Yi will return to Ming Dynasty!
Unexpectedly, Huang Yi chose to stay in the prairie, near his tribe.
Hedanbaat'er was very happy. He raised a toast and apologized, because he could not help farm the land. He could only ensure that other tribes would not pass through his grazing land to the place Huang Yi opened up wasteland.
Yes, this is what I want.
Huang Yi immediately took a sip of the wine in the bowl and expressed that whether he could lead the Han people to farm safely was entirely dependent on the security provided by Hedanbaat'er.
The wine was a bit strong, and Hedanbaatar was a little drunk, and he was full of pride at this time.
He patted his chest and promised that unless he died, no one would be able to cross his territory and attack Huang Yi's foothold.
Eight leaders, including Karitu, Morigen, and Huhru, also expressed their stance that as long as they were alive, they would not let any enemy cross the border.
The wine was strong, the food was fragrant, and the conversation was congenial. The ten people drank more and more happily, and they talked about all kinds of topics.
Hedanbaat'er became more confident after swallowing his old enemy Kachagute tribe. He knew that the tribe's territory was unstable and he must establish his authority.
He discussed with Huang Yi that it was depressingly idle in winter, so why not start killing several nearby tribes?
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Ka Letu immediately shouted to do it.
Mo Rigen reminded everyone that if you cannot attack the tribes that still submit to Lin Dan Khan, you can definitely attack the small tribes that belong to Aohan, Naiman, and Karaqin.
Huhru and several other leaders increased their property, cattle, sheep, horses, women, and slaves several times through fighting, and they were very warlike.
They all said that the current tribe was powerful and had high morale. Most of the warriors were looking forward to fighting again and unanimously requested that they decide as soon as possible which tribe to fight first!
Jiannu, Tatars like to fight in winter.
First, the weather is cold and there is nothing to do. Winning the battle can guarantee that we will have enough food and clothing for a year.
Second, if you wear more clothes, you can withstand scattered light arrows even without armor.
Third, even if you are injured, there is less risk of infection due to the cold weather.
Fourth, after the autumn harvest, the enemies, especially the Han people, stored food for the winter in their homes.
