Chapter 317: The Great Victory

The Mongol cavalry again broke through the thin line of the chasseurs, but they again paid a great price under the platoon of the chasseurs!

After breaking through the formation of the chasseurs, the Mongol cavalry faced the Chen cavalry, which had already cleared the Han cavalry from the battlefield and launched a counter-charge against them after hastily organizing it!

……

On the other side of the cavalry battlefield, just when the Mongol iron cavalry launched a charge towards the horse infantry musket phalanx, and it was already determined that it was impossible to stop and turn back, Yang Miaozhen finally put in the last bit of reserve in his hand.

That's two regiments of cuirassiers.

Chen Xian's idea of changing all the cavalry into cuirassiers eventually had to be discounted under the incomprehension of most of the cavalry generals, and in the end only two regiments of cuirassiers were established.

And the cuirassiers of these two regiments were left by Yang Miaozhen on this battlefield as a means to deal with the enemy's light cavalry.

The cuirassiers of the two regiments, in battalion units, launched a wall charge in dense arrays towards the rear of the Mongol cavalry, and they pushed forward towards the Mongol cavalry main formation one after another.

After ordering the iron cavalry to launch a decisive charge against the flintlock phalanx formed by Chen's horse infantry, Mu Huali's Mongol cavalry was left with only light cavalry.

In pursuit of speed, in the final charge phase, the cuirassiers' ranks inevitably scattered a little, but they were still able to maintain a general formation.

Faced with the Chen cavalry rushing up like a wall, the Mongol light cavalry once again used their traditional techniques.

They scattered in a hurry, and began to run away and intersperse to see the chaos and the real law.

If the pursuing enemies scatter in pursuit of them, they will cooperate with each other, pulling the scattered enemies more apart and strangling them one by one.

The cavalry of the Chen army, which had already suffered a loss, would certainly not be fooled again, and the cuirassiers were divided into battalions, staggered with each other, expanding the wall of charge to both sides, forming a wide frontage, rolling forward.

Soon the Mongol light cavalry sensed the difference, this group of Chen cavalry was too fast.

Because only two regiments of cuirassiers were built, Chen Xian selected the best cavalry for the cuirassiers of these two regiments, equipped with the best war horses, and the war horses under their crotches were either high-quality war horses bred in Chen Xian's own pasture, or they were horses selected from the horses purchased.

The cavalry was excellent, the horses were good, and the armor on their bodies was not heavy, so the cuirassiers charged faster than the Mongol light cavalry.

Under the rapid pursuit of the cuirassiers, the desperately fleeing Mongolian light cavalry's resting and looking back arrow tactics were difficult not to play, and they were caught up one by one, and one by one they were run over by the "wall" formed by the cuirassiers......

Although the Mongolian light cavalry was powerful, they were not immortals after all, and under the pursuit of this kind of shock cavalry that was faster than them, they turned from fake chaos to real chaos......

In the end, except for the light cavalry on both flanks, the entire Mongol light cavalry group was completely crushed by the cuirassiers.

Yang Miaozhen, who had been watching the battle, found that the Mongolian light cavalry that escaped from the two wings was too scattered, and it was difficult to continue the pursuit to achieve any results, so he ordered the chess and card officer to give the cuirassiers an order to collect the troops through the banner.

And in the near distance, the continuous breakthrough of the horse infantry flintlock pistol phalanx, the line array of the chasers, and the regrouped Chen army cavalry counter-charge, the Mongolian iron cavalry finally could not bear it, completely collapsed and chaos, and was soon strangled by the Chen army cavalry and the reorganized chasers!

The cavalry had been defeated, but the infantry of the Mongol Han army on the other side was still barely holding out, after all, they were relatively numerous.

However, when the chasseurs and horse infantry appeared behind them, the infantry finally collapsed completely.

Then it was time for the Chen cavalry to reap the victory.

In this battle, known as the Battle of Hejian in history, Mu Huali's Han army was almost completely annihilated, and only a very few people escaped, except for those who died on the spot, most of them were captured by Chen's army.

Mu Huali's Mongol cavalry troops also suffered heavy losses, of which the iron cavalry was almost completely annihilated, and the light cavalry also suffered more than half of the casualties, and only more than 10,000 people could run back, and Mu Huali himself survived.

After returning to Zhongdu City, Mu Huali immediately moved all the craftsmen in the city to Xijing, Shanxi, which was later Datong City.

While leaving Zhongdu, Mu Huali once again set fire to the city.

The Han heroes in Hebei who defected to Mongolia were abandoned in Hebei by Mu Huali.

Chen Xian, who was in Suzhou, did not know about the victory.

According to Chen Xian's plan, on the battlefield in Hebei, Li Shi and Yang Miaozhen should be able to repel Mu Huali's attack, but they didn't expect that these two people would defeat Mu Huali and even throw Hebei.

According to Chen Xian's original plan, he would open a second battlefield in Liaodong after the Hebei battlefield began, forcing Mu Huali to run for his life.

Although the result of the Hebei battlefield was unexpected by Chen Xian, this did not prevent Chen Xian's plan from being implemented.

In any case, the Liaohe Plain, he must take.

In the past two years, with the recovery of his own strength and the pressure of the Mongols, Yeluliuge's horse business to Chen Xian has become more and more yin and yang, and his yin and yang have made his value in Chen Xian's eyes continue to decline.

On the third day after the great victory in Hejian, Chen Xian led more than a hundred large and small ships into the mouth of the Liao River, and landed again in the same bay where they had landed two years earlier.

At the time of landing, the infantry was first brought ashore by small sailing boats, and after the infantry had established a beachhead on the shore, the engineering team went ashore and quickly built an improvised dock.

Next, artillery and various supplies were continuously sent ashore, and in just two days, a solid military village appeared on the bank of the Liao River.

When Jeruliugo received the news and arrived with his cavalry, he saw a stockade that made his scalp tingle.

Yeluliuge only glanced at the stockade, turned around and left.

In the past two years, Yelu Liuge has exchanged a large number of horses for a large amount of materials and equipment from Chen Xian.

He also used these materials and equipment to recruit and arm an army of more than 70,000 or 80,000 people.

At this time, Yeluliuge's strength was much stronger than a few years ago, but the image of Yeluliuge's defeat two years ago was too profound, especially the cannon.

So when Jeruliugo saw the wall made of straw bags filled with sand and earth, and the huge black cannons on the forts of the four corners of the wall, he immediately retreated.

Yeluliuge, who retreated with the cavalry, did not retreat to Liaoyang, but entered Haizhou City.

Although he was worried in his heart, Brother Shan Yeluliu was not a straw bag, and he also knew that if Haizhou was lost, it would be difficult for him to hold Liaoyang.

At this time, the news of the victory in North China reached Chen Xian's ears.

Hearing this news, Chen Xian, who was overjoyed, immediately changed his combat strategy.

In order to alleviate the pressure on Shandong, Chen Xian planned to quickly destroy Yeluliuge, so as to attract Mu Huali's distraction, but now that Shandong has won a big victory, Chen Xian immediately changed his plan, and he is ready to show his best again, and the fortress is advancing steadily.
