Chapter 056: The Battle of Monan (6)
Two things turned out. ,
The first thing is that, regardless of whether the Porha Rabbit is scrappy or not, he is indeed not an enemy who can get rid of it, as he himself says, he will be shot before he can get close. Although he was not taken off the skull on the spot because of the protection of the helmet this time, since the arrow was embedded in his skull, it was basically the difference between early death and late death in this era.
The second thing is that the two thousand people really can't stop the detachment of the six thousand elite cavalry charging into the formation, and even the retardation effect is very limited.
Especially when the main commander of Porkha Rabbit was shot off the horse with an arrow raised by Chataiji, the names of "Jebel Marksman" and "First Warrior" shocked everyone in Porha's department to be a little timid, and under the softness of the hands and feet, they could not compete with the high-morale Chataiji Division, and were easily defeated by Chataiji.
Morale is really important in a war, especially in the period of cold weapon combat, and the doubling of morale is really equivalent to the doubling of combat effectiveness. Therefore, when the main general shows his invincible bravery, the effect of boosting morale and doubling combat power is simply stronger than the effect of NN.
Xin Ai's face was pale, and he secretly scolded Porha Rabbit for "waste", but he was also very helpless, after all, Mongolia has been a few generals who are good at shooting for hundreds of years, but there are very few who have won the name of "Jebel Marksman", and at this moment, his opponent is a general at the level of Jebel Marksman.
Xin Ai's mood at the moment, if you use a classic phrase from later generations to describe it, it is the day of the dog.
He even hesitated for a while, did he send someone to stop him? If it's a faction, who can stop an arrow from Tokto?
Fortunately, although there is no Buzhihatu under his command, there is still a Namur.
Namur suddenly asked for battle: "Echige, Newen asks for battle!" ”
Xin Ai was taken aback and looked at him hesitantly: "Can you stop it?" ”
"I can't stop it." Namur said decisively: "But I can bite his tail!" ”
Xin Ai's eyes lit up, yes, Tokh was so strong that he couldn't stop it, but if he went up to attack his rear team, it could also greatly reduce the effect of his attack. ,
"Good!" After all, Xin Ai is also a veteran who can fight habitually, and immediately decisively said: "You take the headquarters and the rest of the Polha rabbit to bite the detachment team, and don't let him go all out!" ”
"Yes, Huang Taiji!" Namur clenched his fists and saluted, pulled out his horse and left.
In fact, it is not a good idea to bring the rest of the Porha Rabbit, this group of people must have been killed by Chataiji, but Namur also knows that there are not many troops that can be used now, and he has to guard against the main force of the western outpost of the Dacheng Taiji Department that will arrive soon, and the only person that Echige can give him is the rest of the Porha Rabbit.
The 2,000 men led by the Porkha rabbit who had just been killed by Chataiji's side were scattering freely around Xinai's old camp towards the camp.
This round-the-way scattering was not to kill or injure many people, but to increase the panic in the battalion, so that it could not quickly converge towards the west of Xin Ai's battalion.
Xin Ai also understands this truth, so he has been staying in the west of the camp and not moving, just constantly gathering troops.
He will definitely not personally lead the main force to fight Chataiji now, because it is a suicide Dacheng Taijibu will arrive soon, if he goes to fight Chataiji, even if he wins? When the time comes, as long as Han Naji still has a little brain, even if he just orders the charge, he will be killed by Dacheng Taijibu who is charged from the rear army, and Xin Ai can only be defeated with hatred.
And Chataiji's bypass will not be directly fatal after all, because even if he goes around his back, it is useless, the reason why the old camp is called the old camp is not that a bunch of felt tents are placed there and it is finished, there are still all kinds of simple fortifications such as rejecting horses, it is impossible for Chataiji to fall into it with cavalry, he is not so stupid.
Those who dare to do this kind of thing are infantry units like the Ming army, especially its elite Jiading troops, who are fully armored and even have two or three layers of armor, but they are not afraid to directly enter the camp.
It is impossible for the cavalry to win hand-to-hand combat with the elite Jiading troops of the Ming army, but generally speaking, the elite infantry of the Ming army cannot have the opportunity to quietly enter the camp of the Mongolian army.
Chataiji and his men and horses did not hurry to "attack", but because of the need to create panic, his team became longer and longer, almost to surround Xin Ai's old camp and shoot indiscriminately.
This created an opportunity for Namur, the number of people concentrated in his headquarters was better than the previous Polha rabbits, there were about 1,000 people, and when he set off, he called the whole army to greet loudly, and gathered more than 1,000 people under the command of the Polha rabbits who were scattered by Chataiji's department, it is not surprising that the Mongolian cavalry itself does not take the charge as the main form of battle, so although the round of charging just now looks fierce, in fact, when the overall situation has been decided, most of the cavalry of the Polha rabbit department chose to retreat, and only two or three hundred people were really killed and injured directly. Others mostly broke up temporarily.
This is also one of the reasons why the Ming army and the Mongol army have very few heads, the other side can't fight and disperse directly, withdraw, and then they can gather immediately, so that of course, it is difficult to get heads, even if they are defeated a hundred times, there may not be any decisive annihilation battle.
To a certain extent, Ma Fang's "riding by horsemanship" is indeed reasonable, but the Ming army at that time did not have that condition.
He always felt that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry should be improved, at least there must be flint fire n, and even better to have a new bullet integrated with the bullet like a modern bullet, with a cartridge case, rather than a separate projectile, which can be loaded and fired directly on horseback.
This has led to the fact that the current cavalry of the Ming army is basically cold weapon type, and cold weapon cavalry combat is more difficult to reach the level of the Mongols, how many elite cavalry did Ma Fang have back then? At least half of them are Mongols.
And Li Chengliang's side is similar, the Han people are probably not much more than half, and many Mongols and Jurchens are mixed in, but most of them are "naturalized" and do not regard themselves as "foreigners".
In this situation, Namur's troops suddenly exceeded 3,000 cavalry, while the strength of Chataiji's troops was thinned, and when Namur attacked the rear team of Chataiji's department, the rear team suddenly felt tremendous pressure.
Chataiji found out about this for the first time, and couldn't help but secretly shout "yes" in his heart.
It seems that Xin Ai Huang Taiji still has some ability, so far, except for the fact that there were some mistakes in sending Polha Rabbit just now, other performances can be called excellent, no wonder although the Great Khan didn't like him back then, he always let him lead a single one.
Although the good situation was disturbed by Namur, Chataiji didn't see the slightest anger, but let Yatouzhi and the others continue to attack, and he picked five hundred cavalry to turn around and kill Namur.
And Namur has also been paying attention to Chataiji's actions, and when he saw him turn around and kill, Namur didn't say a word, and immediately ordered to evacuate outside.
He is not a simple brave general, and the other party is the first fierce general of Tumut, and he is braver than him? Doesn't the fate of the Porha rabbit just now tell the story?
Therefore, he directly took people to evacuate outside with a call sign.
His move was a little unexpected by Chataiji, who originally thought that a general in his thirties like Namur, with 3,000 cavalry, several times more than the 500 cavalry he brought, should choose to fight head-on, but he didn't expect that the other party would choose to evacuate.
Wait, not evacuation!
Chataiji watched Namur's move of retreating diagonally, and suddenly understood that the other party actually wanted to play a "raid" with him, and shoot arrows at Chataiji's department inside from the outside, disrupting their plan to attack the old camp.
Good boy, learn and use, a little capable.
Chataiji narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was not annoyed, he just smiled, and said to Yuan Yan next to him: "This little guy wants to learn from me." ”
Yuan Yanchi smiled and replied, "It depends on how much skill he has in Taiji." ”
Chataiji waved his hand lightly and said, "The rest of the people continue to attack, I will take these five hundred people to chase him and fight, I want to see him, dare to fight with me first." ”
