"Pinching the Child", which means roughly equivalent to "hunting" in Mongolian, generally speaking, it will be carried out from the two bread copy, and there are many subsequent changes in this tactic, and the size of the scale can also be adjusted and changed at will. ，

If you want to describe it simply, it is probably that the Mongol army itself surrounded its prey in a circle, gradually shrinking to the center, and gathering densely, making it difficult for the enemy to escape.

However, the Mongols did not always need large numbers of troops to accomplish this tactic, and because they had been superior in archery and mobility for hundreds of years, they were able to surround the enemy even when they were outnumbered.

Moreover, the Mongols did not worry much about the weakness of their encirclement when they cast a pinch, and they sometimes extended their lines for several miles before surrounding the enemy.

Some people may ask, what is the point of such a weak encirclement, which will be broken in one rush?

That's right, concentrating the main force to rush this weak encirclement is, of course, breaking through it, but in the eyes of the Mongols, distance is not a matter at all, so they will continue to try to encircle it, anyway, you won't cause them many casualties if you rush into battle before, they are fully capable of constantly surround you.

And if the opponent also keeps choosing to break through the encirclement, it is to fight with the Mongol cavalry for endurance

People are Mongolians who can go on an expedition of tens of thousands or even 100,000 miles at a time, and they choose to fight with them for endurance, doesn't this make it clear that they are looking for death?

And the scope of this pinch tactic can sometimes be extremely large, for example: in 17 years, after the Mongols captured the city of Vladimir, they sent thousands of households to attack various towns and fortresses in the form of pinch galleys, and the encirclement was hundreds of miles long and gradually tightened.

In addition, sometimes they deliberately leave a certain gap in the pinch in order to allow the enemy to escape through the gap, but this gap is actually a trap in itself: the enemy has difficulty maintaining discipline during the hasty escape, and often abandons his weapon in order to escape faster. ，

There is also a specific example of this, and it was this tactic that the Mongols used to defeat the Hungarians at the Battle of Muhi in 1241.

However, the core of the Pinch Leg's tactics, or the two things that basically rely on, are indispensable, and that is mobility and the range of the bow.

Mobility ensured that they were able to make this encirclement always feasible in terms of speed, and the advantage of range on the bow allowed them to strike at their opponents in constant encirclement contraction with little damage themselves.

This is like a battle between two swordsmen, one light and one heavy, the heavy sword swordsman can obviously kill the light sword swordsman with one sword, but the speed of the light sword swordsman is so fast that the former can't keep up at all, while his light sword can cut a hole in the heavy sword swordsman with one sword, but this light sword swordsman has excellent endurance and almost doesn't know how tired.

What else is there to say about the result, no matter how good this heavy sword swordsman is, sooner or later he will be bled and put into a dried corpse.

But now, Xin Ai suddenly found that they had lost their range advantage!

In other words, the light sword swordsman found that the sword in his hand could no longer cut through the armor of the heavy sword swordsman, and the heavy sword swordsman actually lost the heavy sword and took out a light sword longer than himself, as long as he stepped forward, he would be slashed by him in turn.

Something new that hasn't happened in three hundred years has actually been caught up by his hard work!

In the face of this "unprecedented new experience", Xin Ai was naturally confused.

Fortunately, he was slow to react when he was old, but his son Hamu Jiangdu'er was still in his prime, and proposed to quickly change his tactics and replace "pinching erge" with "lost vultures".

Although this Ming army behaved strangely, and the range and accuracy of the fire in his hand were also much beyond Xin Ai's expectations, he had a mind in his mind to replenish blood, where would he give up? As soon as he heard his son's words, he immediately agreed, and ordered loudly: "Recall the left and right armies, and prepare for the loss of the Vultures!" ”

The trumpets and drums immediately changed, and the left and right cavalry immediately began to turn, while the Chinese cavalry began to group up, attacking in waves of about 500 people, and began to use the tactics of losing the red red.

The Mongol tactics of losing the vultures were similar to the semi-rotational tactics of the 15th-16th century warfare in Europe. This tactic was done by sending multiple waves of warriors into the enemy line, each of which fired arrows while charging, and retreated to its own line before making contact with the enemy.

When they fired their last arrows and retreated, they were about 40 to 50 meters away from the enemy. That's enough distance for their arrows to pierce through enemy armor, and enough for them to dodge enemy white-bladed countercharges.

Obviously, the Vultures also need to use the ability to mount and shoot, but it is relatively more important to ride than to archery, because this tactic itself is not used as a tactic with zero casualties, it allows itself to suffer a certain amount of casualties, after all, it rushes too close.

However, because the opponent did not know whether the Mongols were going to charge into battle or just scatter and attack, they could only maintain a long N formation or a similar defensive formation, so as not to be defeated by the Mongols charging the formation and losing a thousand miles.

However, even if the opponent's main forces are concentrated on the long n or similar defensive formation, it cannot be completely ruled out that the long-range forces in its formation can inflict some casualties on the Mongol cavalry.

Xin Aiken offered a certain number of casualties in exchange for victory in this battle, which shows that he is indeed poor and crazy, or that he cannot bear the current situation.

Originally, he thought that he and Tumen Khan were basically in a cooperative relationship, but who knew that because of the previous defeat, the current result is that Tumen Khan has obviously become the dominant force, and he, as the "landlord" of Tumut, has become a vassal of Tumen Khan.

Although Tumut's nominal status is only one of the 30,000 households on the right wing, in fact, he has long been the lord of the right wing, and Xin Ai himself is psychologically equal to Tumen Khan, the lord of the left, and now he is mixed up like this, how can he endure it? Naturally, you have to find opportunities to strengthen yourself, and by the way, you have to play a majestic role to reinvigorate your prestige.

People fight for a breath, the Buddha receives a stick of incense, Xin Ai has been tough all his life, where can he stand this kind of taste under the fence, think about the general tone of ordering his subordinates when Tumen Khan sent himself out to rescue just now, Xin Ai felt that he had to take down the Ming army in front of him.

The five hundred people of the Lost Vultures were an attack wave, but it was not launched at the same point in the form of a dragon gate triple stack wave, but an undisciplined attack on all sides. This is because the other party can't figure out the direction of the main attack, and he is in a mess in the hasty deployment of troops.

The first wave was launched from the left flank, and the five hundred Mongol cavalry gradually increased the speed of their horses in a normal charging formation, and thousands of hooves flew to bring up the decaying grass and yellow dust, and rushed to the right flank of the Ming army.

The Ming army was indeed a little shaken, but before Xin Ai had time to rejoice, he saw a young Ming army general raise his knife and cut off the head of a soldier who had taken two steps back, and shouted loudly.

The slight vacillation of the Ming army immediately stopped, the bayonet formation was still standing in front of the formation, the three columns of fire in the rear had already been loaded, and the first column of horizontal teams raised their hands under the order of the young general.

"Bang!" 11
