Chapter Seventy-Four: Judging the Situation and Assessing Up the Situation

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Looking at the crowd of people, Bahannaji got off his horse and stumbled forward??? Bayi Chinese?? ?Net???.? ８?１?ｚ??． c?o?m?'s eyes flashed with tears of excitement, eternal life God bless, grandpa he is fine.

I was also excited in my heart, but as the Great Khan City Mansion, I still needed it, so I just reached out and patted Bahan Naji's shoulder. "Najib, thank you for your hard work."

Bahan Naji smiled again and again, "Grandpa, the Ming army has retreated, should we pursue it?" ”

Hearing this, I replied and looked around at the expressions of the generals around me, only to see that everyone swept away the tired state just now, and their eyes were bright and energetic. I Da, who has led the troops for many years, knows that now my morale has fully recovered with the arrival of reinforcements. And this momentum can't be worn off in a short time, but you can make good use of it and do something.

"Chasing, on this steppe, how can the Han people be the opponent of my Tatar warriors, our chance to take revenge has arrived!" For a moment, my expression was extremely cold. To be honest, now he is holding his breath in his heart. The casualties in this battle were heavy and rare in the past, and if it were not for the great battle and the shame before the snow, the tribesmen would definitely complain about their great khan.

At the sound of an order, although it had been a day and two nights without rest, the warriors did not hesitate to turn on the back of their horses, sharpened their knives one by one, and only waited for the orders of their superiors to launch a pursuit. Of course, this order was given very quickly, because the generals rushed to the front one after another, and this was the best military order.

I didn't move, after all, he was already old, and it was the limit to be able to hold on until now. Seeing that the army had regained its former majesty, I sighed as I barely stood with the support of Bahannaji. Then he turned around and said: "Najib, the strategy you used this time is really good, not only can you deceive the Han people, but it is also a rare formation, with such a formation, it is enough to be worth 20,000 horses." ”

I replied with a good eye, looking at the horse formation slowly passing by, I immediately guessed what had just happened, and the eyes that looked at Bahannaji were also full of praise.

This made Bahannaji a little embarrassed, "Grandpa, my grandson is even more thoughtful of such a strategy, thanks to your daily teachings. Speaking of this, I saw Bahan Naji raise his eyebrows, and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, can we continue to use this horse formation, as long as we can catch up with the Han people, we can reduce a lot of casualties." ”

"Hehe, that's reasonable, then you can go quickly." I replied with a smile, but I thought it was completely feasible. The Han people have few horses, forgive them for not seeing such a horse formation, and it is impossible to find a way to crack it in a short time.

Bahan Naji responded excitedly, and turned back to beckon his subordinates to give orders. They were all experienced herdsmen, and they were also quite skilled in driving the horse formation, and it didn't take long for the horse formation, which had almost come to a halt, to gallop again.

The speed of the horse formation, especially in this hazy night, was a few points faster than the cavalry in front. So although it was a step slower, it didn't take long to catch up with the Tatar cavalry in front.

The Tartar was accustomed to seeing this kind of galloping horses, and of course knew that it could not be easily mixed in, so he gradually divided from back to front to the east and west, gradually making way for the horse formation.

Even so, there were quite a few Tartar soldiers who were one step slower and were caught in it. Suddenly, he couldn't help himself, and the war horse under his crotch no longer obeyed the order, so he could only follow it tremblingly, and even after a few struggles, he was thrown off the horse.

"My lord, that's a horse formation, not a Tartar soldier!" Taking advantage of the moment when the horse formation slowed down just now, the generals who were trapped in it finally escaped death and caught up with Zhang Chi.

At this time, he heard the thunderous noise, and immediately warned Zhang Chi. For the horse formation, Zhang Chi also knows very little. However, the 5,000 men and horses who went to block it just now were crushed in an instant, which shows its strength.

"Say, how to deal with this horse formation?" Rushed to the doctor, Zhang Chi actually asked the general.

Although the generals who swayed around the horse formation failed to figure out how to deal with the horse formation, they knew how to deal with it.

"There's no other way, move to the sides to make way for it, or our men and horses will be completely scattered!"

The situation was urgent, and there was no room for Zhang Chi to think more, so he immediately ordered: "Split into two formations, separate things, and let the Tartar horse formation!" With that, the first one grabbed the reins of his horse and avoided it with his left hand.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, and before it could completely split into two formations, the soldiers behind repeated the mistake of the Tartars, and were instantly annihilated by the horse formation that caught up.

Looking at the horse formation galloping past him, Zhang Chi was afraid for a while, fortunately he hid quickly, otherwise there would be only a few left of more than 10,000 people and horses.

"Quick, ride your official war horse and hurry forward, you must send the news to Lord Shen before he touches the horse formation, so that he must not directly block this horse formation." With a rein in his horse, Zhang Chi commanded the leader of the guards who had rushed forward for a while before stopping.

The war horse under his crotch is also extraordinary, it is a purebred big food horse that he got eight years ago when he was a commander in the Western Regions. Although it is not as good as a famous horse such as a sweaty BMW, it is still much stronger than a Mongolian horse with short stature and short limbs. Now if he wants to send the news to Shen Chongming, who is very likely to lead troops north, he can only let it go.

Zhang Chi's expression was serious, and the leader of the guards didn't dare to say much, turned over and dismounted and quickly stepped forward to turn over the horse's back, and the whip in his hand was fiercely whipped, and the purebred big eating horse flew out.

"My Lord bless you." Talking to himself as if praying, Zhang Chi turned over the horse left by the leader of the guards and continued to ride his horse with his soldiers.

"My lord, there's something wrong with that sound." Listening to the faint sound coming from the sky in the north, Wang Chonggu's brows couldn't help frowning.

According to the footsteps of the army, it should be less than forty miles away from the place where Zhang Chi entangled the main force of the Tartars. Although there was a scuffle ahead, it was impossible for the sound to come so far, it could be that something had happened.

Shen Chongming also sensed that something was wrong, and when he heard this sound, it was like the sound of a large group of cavalry galloping on horseback. But it is said that it is impossible to make such a noise in the melee, could it be that the reinforcements of the Tartars appeared?

Thinking of this, Shen Chongming couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, but he was taken aback by his own thoughts. It is really very likely that this Tartar reinforcement will appear, after all, this place is already in their sphere of influence, and for the Tartars, who are all soldiers, it will not take much effort to gather people and horses.

While Shen Chongming was pondering, the voice was getting louder and louder. Wang Chonggu said with certainty: "My lord, this must be the sound of a large number of cavalry galloping, it seems that the reinforcements of the Tartars have appeared!" ”

Needless to say, Shen Chongming himself concluded this. The sound came from far and near, and it seemed that Zhang Chi couldn't resist and began to retreat.

It is not a good strategy to resist the enemy head-on, Shen Chongming ordered without thinking about it: "Quick, extinguish the torch and move to the northwest, ready to kill the enemy!" ”

Wang Chonggu also knows the truth. If it was really Zhang Chi who was running back, then the men and horses of Xuanfu must be at the front, and they would collide with their own people if they resisted the enemy head-on. And the army turned to the side, which could completely allow the loose men and horses, and then give the pursuing Tartar reinforcements a heavy blow.

Then, Zhang Chi will definitely turn his head, and it will not be a problem to wipe out the Tartar reinforcements at that time.

In the end, it was the elite of the border army, Shen Chongming's military orders were fast, and the soldiers were not ambiguous in execution, so they turned around cleanly and began to dodge in the northwest direction.

The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and the faces of Shen Chongming and Wang Chonggu became more and more embarrassed. Needless to say, Wang Chonggu can hear this kind of sound even Shen Chongming, a newcomer in the army, that there are no less than 50,000 cavalry, and it seems that there are really a lot of Tartar reinforcements.

"Xuanfu Zhang Chi is in a hurry, where is the governor?" With a loud shout, he hurried over on a fast horse, and opened his mouth to shout to see Shen Chongming, the governor.

Hearing the urgent report, the soldiers in front did not pay attention to it, but just made way for him. But Brother Erdan, as the leader of the guards, can't easily let a guy whose identity has not been confirmed approach Shen Chongming. As soon as the war horse was crossed, the majestic future people intercepted it. "The name of the person who came, where is the waist card!"

Standing on the horse, the tall big food BMW almost crashed into Brother Erdan. Looking at the two horse's hooves raised high less than three feet away from him, Brother Erdan instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Tell Lord Shen quickly, the Tartars list the horse formation, and there are countless war horses, which cannot be stopped!" While shouting, the leader of the guards pulled down his waist card and threw it to Brother Erdan.

"You mean, the Tartars are in a single formation of horses?" After listening to the detailed explanation of the leader of Zhang Chi's guards, Shen Chongming couldn't help but ask with surprise.

"Yes, my lord, this horse formation should not be underestimated, my Xuanfu 5,000 men and horses went to block it, and it was scattered in an instant, killing and injuring countless brothers." The leader of the guards had seen the magnificent situation of the horse formation with his own eyes, and he was terrified to think about it.

But there is no need for him to say it, looking at the situation where the black pressure is surging like a tide not far away, Shen Chongming can guess the power of this horse formation.

I also felt lucky in my heart, if I hadn't made the wrong move now, I would really have suffered a big loss under this horse formation.

"My lord, it's so dangerous." Wang Chonggu raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and his face was also full of fear, God bless.

Shen Chongming laughed, but came back to his senses. "Lord Wang, God is helping me to wait, hahaha."

Wang Chonggu looked approving and said with a smile: "My lord, since you have let the horse formation, how can the Tartar soldiers be the opponents of my Heavenly Empire army, please give an order to destroy them in one go." ”

Shen Chongming waved his hand without thinking about it: "That's it, for the sake of so many war horses, I'll let them go once this time." After ordering the whole army and assisting Zhang Chi to repel the Tartar pursuers, the army retreated! ”

Wang Chonggu looked stunned and said hurriedly: "My lord, why is this?" ”

"Lord Wang, now that the Tartars have horses, how easy is it to wipe them all out on this steppe? And now that we are deep into the enemy territory, the soldiers are sleepy and the horses are tired, and it is really not easy to stay for a long time, otherwise the Tartars will gather a large army, which will be enough for us to drink a pot. Shen Chongming looked at Wang Chonggu and said.

"But my lord, I am among them, if you can't capture and kill him, how can you be worthy of the soldiers who died on the battlefield." Wang Chonggu looked anxious, seeing that the great achievement was about to be completed, he didn't expect Shen Chongming to withdraw his troops!

"It's impossible to capture and kill me, and there are many enemies to be destroyed in this battle, so we won't be at a loss. Wouldn't it be better to take it now when you see it, and drive this war horse back? A smile appeared on Shen Chongming's face, so many war horses, a lot of money.

Wang Chonggu choked, and then seemed to understand something.
