Chapter 041: Tokhtok, Greetings to St. Ann
There was a slight commotion in Chataiji's military formation, especially near Chataiji's location, the war horses neighed, and even some of the war horses began to gouge their hooves.
Ma Gui suddenly became nervous, pressed the handle of the knife with his left hand, leaned slightly to Gao Shishi, and lowered his voice and said, "In the waiter, someone has a fighting spirit." ”
"Huh?" The highly pragmatic equestrian skills are not bad now, but the battlefield sensitivity is obviously far less than that of Ma Gui, a veteran general, especially for the cavalry, which is the weakest of the weaknesses. ”
Ma Gui stared at the front while explaining: "Chataiji is surrounded by his cronies, and the war horses under his crotch are the best, and they can sense the master's fighting intent from the subtle changes in the master's movements, you see...... Some of those horses are neighing, some are gouging hooves, if this action appears on ordinary horses, it may be nervous and frightened, but for these battle-hardened high-class war horses, it shows that they are very excited and already want to charge. ”
Gao pragmatic suddenly realized, the heart said that professional things have to be analyzed by professionals, laymen can only start from the strategy at most, specific to tactics, it is definitely not reliable, it seems that this time to bring Ma Gui, this move is really right. However, if Cao Gan hadn't been ordered by me to go to see Hannaji in advance, he should have been able to see it, right?
Ma Gui saw that Gao was pragmatic and didn't reply, thinking that he didn't believe it, and hurriedly said: "In the service, the strength of detachment is by no means limited to personal martial arts, his cavalry is superb, since they have already developed a fighting spirit, we had better hurry up and prepare ......" detachment, it is Chataiji."
"Can you beat them?" Gao pragmatic asked: "I mean, can our 5,000 cavalry beat the 6,000 Mongolian cavalry under Chataiji?" ”
"This ...... It may be a little difficult to win, but unless you lose your strength and ignore it, you will never force it to fight with us to the end. Ma Gui paused for a moment, and then said: "Even if he is really crazy, the last general will fight for his life and send the servant back to the gate." ”
That is to say, I am afraid that I can't beat it, but it's not easy for the other party to eat him.
Gao pragmatic squinted his eyes for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them." ”
"Waiting!" Ma Gui was anxious and said, "Even if the servants are not afraid, we have to be prepared." ”
This is very reasonable, and being prepared has always been a habit of high pragmatism.
But this time, Gao Pragmatic refused, but said affirmatively: "They may rush forward, but, Ma Gui!" His tone suddenly became stern, and he shouted in a soldier-like tone.
"The last general!" Although Ma Gui was nervous, his subconscious reaction immediately made him surrender.
"You go and give the order, whether the other party kills directly in front of you or not, before engaging the battle, our cavalry must remain calm and not move - you go and let your officer's cavalry go to the front line. The soldiers were transferred to the Chinese army, and the Beijing battalion continued to press the formation. ”
With this order, Ma Gui understood what Gao Pragmatic meant, Gao Pragmatic was betting that the other party would not dare to really do it, but at the same time, he still made a little preparation, so that Dabing could be transferred to the Chinese army, which meant that if the situation was not right, Ma Jia Dabing would cover him and leave.
In Ma Gui's view, it is shameful to "go", what he is afraid of is that Gao Pragmatic refuses to go, and as a result, he loses the edict of the Son of Heaven and the guard of honor, and that plot is much more serious than defeat.
A simple analogy is like a foreigner stepping on your flag in front of you, which is not an ordinary humiliation.
So Ma Gui immediately ordered according to Gao Shipra's requirements, and soon after, he began to admire Gao Shipra's "uncertain prophet", because he had just completed the formation change, and the other party also understood, and sure enough, he dispatched about two or three hundred horsemen at once, and began to rush to the formation directly.
This group of people may be the Chinese guards of Chataiji, and they didn't even do the horses to run, and almost began to charge directly.
Horses' hooves were blowing and dust was flying.
Although there were only two or three hundred horsemen, they rushed out of the momentum of thousands of troops and horses under the personal leadership of Chataiji!
"Knife wielding!" Ma Gui roared angrily.
The Gao family rider, who had already turned into a former army, immediately drew his waist knife, but because there was no other order, everyone automatically executed the previous "motionless" command.
From a purely military point of view, the performance of both sides is not normal.
The Chataiji side launched for no reason, and did not have any pre-work, and directly began to charge into battle, which was an act that could hurt the horse, and the Mongols usually knew how to avoid it.
The high-level pragmatic side turned a blind eye, and there was no further reaction except for ordering the front army to draw its sword in hand, and if it was really facing the enemy, it would be equivalent to selling the front army.
Cavalry hedging was not the main means of combat of the Eastern cavalry, and the cavalry of the hedging side kept a queue like infantry for the other side to rush, which was even more unheard of, which made them directly lose the two major reliance of the cavalry: mobility and impact.
So...... This is not war!
Five hundred steps.
Four hundred steps.
Three hundred steps.
Seeing that the opponent's cavalry had only drawn their swords in their hands until now, and had no intention of attacking, Chataiji couldn't help but cheer for the opponent in his heart, and secretly said: This person either doesn't understand cavalry at all, or he must be the number one enemy in my life!
Two hundred steps, the front line of the Gao family cavalry had some unconscious fluctuations, but it was not they who took the initiative, but the spontaneous behavior of the war horses under their crotch, they felt the danger and began to feel uneasy.
One hundred steps!
"Stop!" Chataiji let out a loud shout and began to stop the warhorse.
A group of two or three hundred horsemen rushed forward fifty paces due to inertia, and finally all stopped.
Chataiji's face sank like water, and he turned over and dismounted with agility, and his movements were no slower than they had been twelve years ago.
The two rows of Gao Jiaqi in front of his head saw sweat on his forehead, and at this time he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit quietly, staring at Chataiji who came forward.
Behind Chataiji, the two or three hundred knights had also dismounted, but none of them stepped forward, but they saw Chataiji walking towards the five thousand Ming army.
"Dong Shengwei commanded the servants to get rid of the matter, and asked to see the Qincha!"
The Gao family rider finally felt relieved and took the initiative to separate the road for Chataiji to step forward. There was a shout from Ma Gui from the rear: "There is an order, and it is said that Dong Shengwei will command the servants to take off and meet the angels!" ”
The Son of Heaven ceremonial guard was opened, and Gao Pragmatic had his own Gao Feng's edict behind him, in order to show Gao Pragmatic's identity as a messenger - the "Qincha" of the past dynasties had its power symbols, such as the Qin and Han Qincha's "Holding Festival", and the Ming Dynasty's Qincha was "Fengyi".
Gao pragmatic himself sat upright and did not move, looking at Chataiji who was walking towards him with an indifferent expression.
Chataiji is a "Jebel Divine Shot", and he has seen Gao Pragmatic clearly from afar.
As a top military general, he only needs a slight glance to see that Gao Shiji, the Qincha ironclad, must be a civil official, although he is young and his body looks very good, he must not have practiced martial arts.
However, no matter how high the status of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty is, there is no difference here in Chataiji, what really surprised Chataiji is his pragmatic look.
His gaze was as indifferent as water, without the slightest fluctuation.
Cha Taiji knew that the momentum caused by his side was enough to be fake, even the young man of the Ma family next to Gao Shishi was nervous, and he still held the handle of the knife with his left hand.
However, Gao Pragmatic, the Wenchen Qincha, was not affected in the slightest, as if he had been blind and deaf just now, and there was not the slightest shock, fear, or even ...... in his demeanor There seems to be a hint of mockery.
If it weren't for the general trend, Chataiji really wanted to suddenly attack and capture this young Qincha to see if he could still be so calm.
But now, that's not possible.
Chataiji took a deep breath, stood ten steps in front of Gao Shiji's horse, and then bowed down, and said calmly and forcefully: "Chen Dong Shengwei commands the affairs properly, and respectfully asks for Saint An." Long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”
Gao Pragmatic's voice is not big or small, nor is it as low and powerful as Chataiji's voice, but it is just as calm as a pool of deep water, and there are no waves in the ancient well: "Holy bow." Get out of trouble, please. ”

Thank you for the monthly pass support of "DJ000214" and "Book Friend 20180224230320150". By the way, about the "cha" of Chataiji, it was explained in the previous article that it literally means "diplomat", but today I checked a bunch of materials again, and found that there is still a saying in the historical circles, that "cha" comes from "cowardly Xue", and the Mongolian language is hiya, or xiy-a, which means "Dayuan guard", and this "cha" word, the descendants of Chataiji have always been hereditary, and there is this word in the name, so there are also scholars in the academic community who believe that this is a hereditary identity.
