"Warriors, the cowardly Han people have no horsepower! Catch up with them! Kill them! Victory belongs to the Ordos tribe! As long as we kill the Han Qincha, the beggar leader will give us a rich reward! ”
Sukhbaru took the lead in pursuing Zhao Junchen's team, and roared loudly at the Mongol cavalry, his rough face looked extremely hideous, and his momentum was as terrifying as a tiger and wolf. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As Sukhbaru's words fell, more than a thousand Mongolian cavalrymen were also full of momentum, shouting in unison: "Victory belongs to the Ordos tribe!" ”
Suddenly, the Mongolian cavalry all pumped their horses hard, and their running speed increased a little again.
Money always drives people's hearts, and this is true for the Han people, and the same is true for the Mongols!
Sukhbaruna was one of the most famous warriors of the Ordos tribe of Mongolia, and was trusted by the tribal leader Qiyan Siqin.
This time, Qiyan Siqin handed over an extremely important task to Sukhbaru - that is, to penetrate into the territory of the Ming Dynasty and intercept and kill Zhao Junchen, the minister of the Ming Dynasty!
It's a pity that Sukhbaru is certainly a brave man, but his personality is a little reckless, and after discovering Zhao Junchen's team, he did not use the tactics of ambush and sneak attack, but rushed directly to kill him from a few miles away, but also gave Zhao Junchen a chance to escape!
But Sukhbaru was not worried, he had already confirmed in advance from the Han guides, this was a relatively desolate place in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there were no Han cities within a radius of 100 miles, there were no strong military towns, only a few villages and forts, even if Zhao Junchen fled in a hurry, he couldn't escape far at all!
In the end, just as Sukhbaru guessed, the Mongol cavalry chased after each other along the way, and soon gradually narrowed the distance between the two sides!
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was only less than five miles, and it only took about half a pillar of incense to catch up, Sukhbaru suddenly found that the Han Qincha's team had fled to the foot of a dirt mountain, and they rode up to the earth mountain, obviously wanting to rely on the earth mountain to resist the pursuit of the Mongol cavalry.
Sukhbaru sneered in his heart, just by virtue of an inconspicuous small dirt mountain, could the Han people be able to block the attack of the Mongol warriors?
But soon, Sukhbaru discovered that things were not so simple.
Only a part of the Han Qincha's team fled to Tushan, and two or three hundred Han people stopped, gathered the team, reorganized the formation, and turned their horses to charge towards the Mongol cavalry!
Seeing this scene, Sukhbaru was immediately taken aback!
Although Sukhbaru looked down on the cowardice of the Han people, he also had to admit that the private soldiers of the Han generals were stronger than the Mongolian cavalry in terms of equipment and martial arts.
Today's Mongols, the combat power is far inferior to their ancestors, although they have always looked down on the Han people on the surface, but since Ming Xiaozong has not taken too much advantage of the Han people, it is really time to fight against the battle, or dare not have any contempt, when the two sides are facing each other, if the cavalry archery is of course the Mongols are better, but if it is against the killing, the two sides are only half a catty!
So, Sukhbaru hurriedly shouted: "Gather the team!" Outflank the left and right wings! Get ready to ride and shoot! Push them back! Don't let them rush over! ”
With Sukhbaru's order, the Mongolian knights adjusted their formations, took out bows and arrows, and outflanked two or three hundred people on the left and right wings, ready to swallow this inadequate Ming cavalry in one bite!
However, as all preparations took place, the speed of the Mongol cavalry inevitably dropped a lot.
When the Mongolian cavalry was hurriedly prepared, the outflanking of the two wings was about to be formed, and the Ming cavalry would soon enter the range of the Mongolian cavalry, and was about to ride the horse to accelerate again, but he didn't expect that this Ming Dynasty cavalry was like a prophet, and it turned the direction of the horse's head again, avoiding the middle team of the Mongolian cavalry, and rushed towards the waist of the Mongolian cavalry's relatively weaker left wing!
At this time, the cavalry of the two sides was only about a mile apart, and after the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty turned around, the Mongolian cavalry did not have any time to react at all!
Then, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, relying on their excellent armor, actually rushed to the left flank of the Mongolian cavalry under the rain of cavalry and arrows of the Mongolian cavalry, and took advantage of the encirclement of the Mongolian cavalry to disrupt the left flank of the Mongolian cavalry!
During this period, more than ten cavalry members of the Ming Dynasty were shot and fell off their horses, and when they rushed to kill the left wing of the Mongolian cavalry, they paid more than ten casualties!
However, the Mongol cavalry did not take advantage of too much, and the cavalry on the left flank also suffered nearly twenty casualties in a short period of time!
In this way, because of the impromptu tactics of the Ming Dynasty cavalry, the formation of the Mongolian cavalry was completely chaotic! However, after the Ming cavalry broke out of the encirclement of the Mongol cavalry, its own formation was also much scattered.
The general who led the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was obviously a proficient in the art of war, and after seeing this situation, he did not hesitate, and directly whistled, and led the Ming Dynasty cavalry to flee into the distance, without any intention of staying and continuing to fight.
Seeing that he obviously had an advantage in troops, but suffered a small loss under the calculation of the other party, Sukhbaru was naturally angry, he did not feel that his command was wrong, he only thought that the Han generals were too cunning, and for a while he actually forgot the Ming Dynasty team that fled to the dirt mountain, so he planned to lead the Mongolian cavalry to pursue this Ming Dynasty cavalry, and he must slaughter all the other party to vent his anger!
"Despicable and cowardly Han dog thief! Warriors! Hunt them down with me! Make a clean sweep of! Leave not a single one! ”
However, just as Sukhbaru was about to organize his team to chase and kill the other party, one of Sukhbaru's side suddenly said: "General Sukhbaru, don't lose your cool because of some small tricks of the other party!" Our target this time is not just a few hundred Ming Dynasty cavalry! Intercepting and killing Zhao Junchen of the Ming Dynasty is the most important thing for us at present! ”
Although the person who spoke was dressed as a Mongolian cavalryman, he had fair skin, a shrewd temperament, a gloomy expression, and facial features more like those of a Han Chinese.
Hearing this person's dissuasion, Sukhbaru glared at him fiercely and asked angrily, "Is it not possible to let this Ming Dynasty cavalry play tricks on our Mongolian warriors?" Besides, who knows if that Han Qin Cha is mixed in this cavalry! Where can they escape! ”
The yin owl man shook his head and said: "Zhao Junchen is a civil official, and he is a traitor who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he will never go into battle in person, he doesn't have the courage, and now he must have hid on that dirt mountain to wait for help!" General Sukhbaru, don't forget what the order of the head of your tribe is! Even if you kill all of Zhao Junchen's guards, as long as Zhao Junchen escapes with his life, this mission for you and me will be a complete failure! At that time, General Sukhbaru, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape punishment! ”
Sukhbaru snorted angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the Yin Owl Man, but he hesitated for a moment, and finally followed the Yin Owl Man's advice and threatened: "In this case, I will lead people to attack that dirt mountain!" But I said in advance, if the Han people are not on the top of the mountain, I will cut off your head immediately! ”
After hearing Sukhbaru's threat, the Yin Owl man's eyes shrank slightly, but he had regained his calm in an instant, and said: "My head is on my neck, if Zhao Junchen is really not on the dirt mountain, then let General Sukhbaru cut it off, and the contemptible people will never have any resistance!" ”
Sukhbaru snorted angrily again, more and more dissatisfied with the attitude of this yin owl man, but he also knew that he had no right to dispose of the other party, but only led the Mongolian cavalry to continue to advance, and soon chased to the foot of the dirt mountain!
Under the counterattack of Mao Jiadong's troops, the pursuit of the Mongolian cavalry was delayed for a long time, and when they surrounded Tushan, they found that Zhao Junchen's team had fled to the top of Tushan, but they had not yet had time to arrange the defensive line!
Sukhbaru finally saw the detailed topography of the earth mountain, and his expression was solemn, but he still did not think that a small earth mountain could resist the attack of the Mongol warriors.
So, after surrounding Tushan, Sukhbaru organized a team of seven or eight hundred people, planning to take advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet gained a firm foothold, capture this Tushan in one go, and intercept and kill the Han Qincha as soon as possible!
However, Sukhbaru had just gathered his men and was preparing to attack Tushan, when the Ming cavalry, which had already fled far away, actually went and returned, rushing towards Sukhbaru's team with great fanfare!
Seeing this situation, Sukhbaru was taken aback again, and hurriedly prepared to meet the enemy.
Sukhbaru didn't expect that this Ming Dynasty cavalry had already fled, and they still had the courage to go and return!
However, Mao Jiadong once again played Sukhbaru, the Mongolian cavalry had just adjusted their formation and was about to rush over, but the Ming cavalry suddenly changed direction and fled away again.
Obviously, the charge just now was just a harassment, and the purpose was also to disperse the Mongols' forces so that the Mongols could not concentrate on attacking Tushan with all their might.
When the Mongols were just relieved, Mao Jiadong once again turned his team and rushed towards the Mongolian cavalry, which caused a burst of confusion among the Mongolian cavalry.
In the end, Mao Jiadong led his cavalry to constantly wander around the Mongolian cavalry for three or five miles, and the meaning of provocation was very obvious.
After being teased continuously, Sukhbaru was already furious, and seeing that he was about to act impulsively again, the Yin Owl man hurriedly opened his mouth and suggested: "This cavalry is obviously trying to delay our attack, which proves even more that Zhao Junchen is on this dirt mountain!" General Sukhbaru, the immortal merit is just around the corner, don't be distracted by some clowns! If we pursue this cavalry with all our might, not to mention the delay, Zhao Junchen may have to take the opportunity to run! ”
Sukhbaru said angrily: "You said it easily! These two times are just harassment feints, but the next time may be a real attack! When the time comes, it will be a situation of being attacked by the enemy! If the damage here is too severe, we won't even have the strength to return to the grassland! ”
After pondering for a moment, the Yin Owl man thought that Sukhbaru's statement was indeed reasonable, so he suggested again: "This cavalry dares to fight directly with the Mongol cavalry, and it must be the most elite guards under Zhao Junchen, which means that the guards that Zhao Junchen is currently staying with are all incompetent and cowardly...... General Sukhbaru might as well arrange for 200 Mongolian soldiers to stay here, if the Ming cavalry is harassed again, they will be responsible for entanglement, and then arrange for 100 Mongolian warriors to ride horses to patrol the area around Tushan to prevent Zhao Junchen from escaping, and the remaining 700 Mongols will attack Tushan with all their might, kill Zhao Junchen as soon as possible, and then you can concentrate your forces to destroy the Ming cavalry. ”
After hearing the Yin Owl man's suggestion, Sukhbaru snorted softly, "This method, why do you need to suggest it!" ”
That being said, Sukhbaru finally fully adopted the suggestion of the Yin Owl man, left two hundred Mongolian cavalry to guard against Mao Jiadong's harassment, arranged for another hundred Mongolian cavalry to patrol around, and then gathered all the remaining Mongolian cavalry and prepared to attack Tushan with all his might.
However, because Mao Jiadong led the troops twice in a row to harass, he bought a lot of time, and when Sukhbaru was finally ready, under the command of Zhao Dali, the team on Tushan finally arranged the defense line, and it was already ready for battle.
*
At the same time, Zhao Junchen had already taken off the official uniform of the second-rank senior member of the imperial court, changed into the costume of an ordinary soldier, and stood on the top of the mountain to observe the changes in the situation under the mountain, with a vaguely surprised expression.
Mao Jiadong led the cavalry to constantly guerrilla harassment, and won the essence of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance", just like a hungry wolf looking for a flaw in the prey, once he finds a flaw, he will pounce on it and bite hard, if he can't find a flaw, he will continue to harass and entangle, distract the enemy's attention and consume the enemy's physical strength.
Mao Jiadong's leading ability and cavalry tactics are certainly admirable, but Zhao Junchen has long been psychologically prepared and is not too surprised.
What really surprised Zhao Junchen was that the performance of the Mongolian cavalry and the Ming Dynasty cavalry was too clumsy! This battle is far from being as fierce as imagined, and if it weren't for Mao Jiadong's commanding talent, this battle wouldn't even have any merit!
In the eyes of the parties, the battle between the two sides may be fierce and suffocating, but Zhao Junchen stands on a high place and looks at this series of battles between the two sides from an outsider's eye, which is a different scene.
Mao Jiadong's cavalry was certainly brave, but when they attacked the left flank of the Mongolian cavalry with a strong attack and weakness, they obviously occupied the advantage of troops and took it by surprise, but they quickly messed up the formation and almost fought separately and were surrounded by the Mongolian cavalry......
The Mongolian cavalry is of course menacing, but the strain and coordination are too poor, just now when the left and right flanks outflanked the Ming Dynasty cavalry, the right flank has more than 300 people, but the left flank is less than 200 people, and the formation is extremely loose, so that Mao Jiadong can easily find a flaw......
When Mao Jiadong continued to harass the Mongolian cavalry, the cavalry under his command was constantly left behind, and in just one stick of incense, two consecutive turns, more than ten cavalrymen did not know where to run, and Mao Jiadong's orders were not correctly implemented......
Whenever the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty appeared to harass, it took a long time to arrange the formation, and most of the time it was a mess, as if everyone was a headless fly......
Perhaps because he had seen the neat discipline and well-trained modern army, Zhao Junchen was full of surprise and faint disappointment after seeing the real situation of ancient warfare for the first time.
Then, Zhao Junchen found good news and bad news.
The good news is that if the Mongol cavalry attacking him is the elite Mongols, then the Mongol threat is far less terrible than imagined.
The bad news is that the elite armies of the Ming Dynasty do not seem to be more sophisticated than the Mongol armies.
In short, Zhao Junchen found that the war he would face in the future may be essentially just a rookie pecking at each other, and such a war is still cruel and bloody, but it does not change its clumsy nature.
