Chapter 570: Steel Collision
On the battlefield, the ironclad cavalry slowly moved from the back of the formation to the front of the formation.
Arslen Khan swung his arrows and began to retreat his cavalry in the center.
Those infantry and mercenaries from the Western Regions are now also fighting and retreating, although they have suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, after the initial chaos, they are now barely calming down.
Jia Ke stood on the high platform and saw that the opponent's ironclad cavalry had also moved to the front of the formation, knowing that the opponent was about to launch a fatal blow.
Jia Ke thought about it, and the only one on his side who could fight against the thousands of ironclad cavalry on the other side was the Modao Army.
The Modao Army under Jia Ke was established by Jia Ke with reference to the Tang Dynasty.
These soldiers are all tall Shandong men, wearing iron armor and holding Mo knives, this army can be said to be Jia Ke's killer weapon.
The Mo knife held by the Mo knife sergeants is about 3 meters long, the handle and blade are 1.5 meters respectively, and weighs about 33 kilograms.
And on this basis, Jia Ke made everyone in this army wear heavy iron armor to increase their defense.
Now it's time to officially test the power of the Mo Knife.
So Jia Ke immediately blew the horn to stop his infantry from advancing, and slowly gathered the cavalry on both sides into the formation, and did not dare to engage the ironclad cavalry, but wandered in all directions to find his flaws.
Immediately afterwards, Jia Ke waved the order flag again, and a bunch of ironclad people also walked out of his formation.
This group of ironclad people, each of them was wearing heavy iron armor, and they were holding a few meters long Mo knife in their hands, although they moved slowly, but like an iron mountain, they moved forward.
Arslen Khan also saw the changes in Jia Ke's team behind the battle, and saw that a group of ironclad infantry came to the other side, which was to use the infantry to confront his own ironclad cavalry, and couldn't help but sneer.
Arslen Khan did not hesitate any longer, and immediately blew the horn and ordered the ironclad cavalry to speed up their advance, to break the ironclad infantry in front of them and then raise their might.
When the ironclad cavalry heard Arslen Khan's urging, they immediately urged their horses and trotted forward.
And the Modao team on Jia Ke's side also reorganized their formation, lined up in a dense line, and advanced towards the opponent's ironclad cavalry.
It didn't take long for the two ironclad troops to collide.
The ironclad cavalry on the side of Arslen Khan were dressed in iron armor and kept piercing forward with large iron spears.
And the ironclad infantry on Jia Ke's side waved the Mo knife and used centrifugal force to slash from top to bottom.
This time, the two sides immediately saw each other, and the Mo knife weighed dozens of pounds from top to bottom, even if the other party was wearing iron armor, he couldn't stand it, so the iron armor was immediately shattered and fell off the horse.
Although the ironclad cavalry of Arslen Khan also kept waving iron spears, the ironclad cavalry had always used the charge to kill and wound the enemy, and this stop against the ironclad infantry immediately showed weakness.
This iron-to-iron collision only lasted for more than half an hour, and the ironclad cavalry of Arslen Khan had almost lost everything, and although the ironclad infantry of Jia Ke had suffered a lot of losses, they were still able to advance in a neat line.
Seeing that nothing could be done, Arslen Khan hurriedly blew his horn and ordered the ironclad cavalry to retreat.
By the time the ironclad cavalry retreated, there were no more than one in ten.
Arslen Khan did not continue to pester, and ordered his slaves and mercenaries to be queens. And he took these Tatar warriors under his command and returned to his own village.
And these slaves and mercenaries behind the palace were strangled in front of the battle by the soldiers and cavalry under Jia Ke's command in the blink of an eye.
Then Jia Ke waved his army to attack the Tatar camp, hoping to break through in one fell swoop while the opponent was not fully ready.
Who knew that Arslen Khan had already prepared this time, and he ordered himself to wave the most stable Meng He and guard it in the camp.
Meng He was in the middle of the village, and saw that several parties had already lost in this battle, so he had already made preparations, he opened the main gate, welcomed Arslen Khan into the camp, and let those soldiers enter through several gates.
By the time Jia Ke had killed all the men and horses behind the palace and was about to approach the Tatar village, the Tatars were about to return to the camp completely.
And Meng He saw that Jia Ke had already led his team to attack, and knew that he could no longer be merciful, so he ordered the gate to be closed immediately, so that thousands of Tatars were locked out of Dazhai.
When these thousands of people saw that they were abandoned, they cried and shouted for the people in the middle to open the door for them, so that they could escape with their lives.
But Meng He forcibly ordered his subordinates not to open the door, and under his strong suppression, these thousands of people could only be abandoned.
When Jia Ke led the army and came to the Tatar village, he immediately ordered to open the bow and release arrows, and the thousands of Tatars who did not enter the village were shot into hedgehogs in the blink of an eye.
Jia Ke did not stop next, and began a tentative attack, the Tatar Dazhai.
But Meng He had already been prepared, and when Jia Ke's soldiers were just close to the big battle, he ordered ten thousand arrows to be fired.
Seeing this situation, Jia Ke immediately ordered the English longbowmen to shoot at the opponent, so that they could get close to the opponent's Dazhai.
This time the attack and defense were in a different position, and the men and horses under the command of Jia Ke attacked the opponent's battle, but Meng He's defense was not leaky, so that Jia Ke attacked for nearly an hour, and did not break through the Tatar camp.
Seeing this situation, Jia Ke knew that there was no point in attacking again, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops from behind.
So the two sides slowly disengaged and returned to their respective camps.
Arslen Khan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jake abandon the attack and retreat to his camp.
Arslen Khan came to his big tent, and the chiefs and generals of the various tribes also followed him into the big tent of the Chinese army.
Everyone stood up in the middle of the battle, waiting for Arslen Khan's lecture, this meeting against Jia Ke failed again, but the Tatars below did not have any frustration, because they had never won against Jia Ke, and now they are slowly getting used to it.
Arslen Khan looked at these people below with a casual look on their faces, and felt a burst of fire in his heart, this continuous defeat, there was no shame at all, is this still a Tatar warrior?
"Today's match. What do you guys think? ”
These people below looked left and right, they all lowered their heads and said silently, they had been subdued by Jia Ke, what do they think, as long as they can save their lives, it would be good.
But Meng He stood up at this time, "Qi Yu Great Khan, in the eyes of the last general, this time we failed, but the soldiers under Jia Ke are well-equipped, and we don't lose to them in terms of courage." ”
Arslen Khan nodded after hearing this, and didn't say much, this is him giving Meng He face, do you still need to say this? None of you can tell.
Meng He saw Arslen Khan's expression, and hurriedly continued: "If you want to defeat Jia Ke, it is not difficult, I think that although Jia Ke is now in charge of the Southern Dynasty, his foundation is not stable, now that Jia Ke is leading the army, there will be turmoil in the capital, as long as we hold Jia Ke here, once Jia Ke retreats, we will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and we will definitely be able to defeat Jia Ke." ”
Arslen Khan was not very optimistic, he knew Jia Ke better than the others, Jia Ke was scheming, and he was extremely cautious, and would not leave a flaw on his side.
But there was no other way now, so Arslen Khan lowered his head and thought for a while, and then ordered the people below: "From now on, no one shall go out of the camp to fight Jia Ke without my order." ”
Arslen Khan's order was in line with the thoughts of the generals below, so these people said together with convincingness: "Yes." ”
Arslen Khan knew that he couldn't defend passively here, and he had to give Jia Ke some color, otherwise the city would collapse completely.
"On my orders, the cavalry of each tribe will be divided into five waves, and they will take turns to start harassing the various passes of the Southern Dynasty in order to disperse Jia Ke's forces, and if possible, break through the Southern Dynasty from other places and let Jia Ke divide his troops. That way, we also have a better chance of beating Jaco. ”
After listening to this, the generals below nodded again and again, which is also their usual tactic.
So the Tatars began to prepare in accordance with Arslen Khan's orders to strengthen the defense in the main camp, not to give Jia Keli a chance, and at the same time sent cavalry to hinder sneak attacks and harassment everywhere.
After Jia Ke returned to the camp, the envoys and commanders of the various sections sitting under the battle of the Chinese army, as well as the generals under their command, stood on both sides.
"Today's fight is good, although we were not able to break through the Tatars' Dazhai and succeeded in one fell swoop, but it also gave the Tatars a head-on blow, have a good rest today, and tomorrow we are in the battle, and strive to defeat the Tatars in one fell swoop."
The generals below were commanded.
The next day, Jia Ke gathered the generals in the big tent early, and then took more than 100,000 horses out of the big village, went to the front of the two armies, and challenged the Tatars.
When Jia Ke opened a formation in front of the military formation and sent people to challenge, the Tatar gate was closed, and he did not answer Jia Ke's provocation.
Jia Ke led his men and horses, in front of the two armies from morning to evening, constantly shouting and scolding, and the Tatars turned out to be as if they had eaten the scales and had an iron heart, but they did not fight.
Jia Ke was also very helpless when he saw this situation, although he wanted to wave his troops and attack the opponent's camp, but Jia Ke saw that the opponent was well defended, and if he attacked strongly, he would definitely suffer heavy losses, so he could only give up this idea, retreat to the camp, and then find a way.
For the next ten days, Jia Ke was challenged every day, but the Tatars kept their doors behind closed doors, ignoring Jia Ke's provocations.
At first, Jia Ke thought that the Tatars were timid, but after a long time, he felt that something was wrong.
What is the reason why these Tatars advance and do not advance and retreat, and dry consumption consumes money and food here?
Just when Jia Ke was puzzled, news came from Xuanfu Town and Datong Town that Tatar rangers had been found everywhere and began to harass everywhere.
After receiving the report, Jia Ke understood what was going on, the Tatars wanted to divide their troops and then break them separately.
But Jia Ke was disdainful of this plan of the Tatars, and now the nine sides are impregnable, plus Datong and Wang Ziteng are in charge, so there is nothing to do.
Since there is no danger from the care of all parties, Jia Ke thought, you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder, and hundreds of thousands of Tatars and horses are gathered at Gubeikou, and there will definitely not be a lot of grain and grass in their camp, and they will definitely need constant support from the rear.
The Tatars are nomadic peoples, and they do not store a lot of money and grain, and their rear is mainly the Western Regions, and those places are the basis of the Tatars' money and grain.
However, the Western Regions are thousands of miles away from Gubeikou, and although there are many Tatar horses, such a long supply line is enough for them to choke.
Jia Ke thought of sending cavalry to harass the other party's supply lines, so that the Tatars would have no food to eat, and he would have to retreat if he did not retreat.
After Jia Ke figured it out, he had a plan, so he immediately summoned the leaders of the Manchu Eight Banners tribes to come and meet.
In a short time, these eight commanders gathered together in Jia Ke's big tent.
