Chapter 65: Stalking
Chapter 65 The distance of stalking is really too short, waiting for the 1,000 soldiers of the 3,000 battalion and the 5,000 lower battalion of the Shenji battalion to just let the war horses reach the fastest speed, they collide with the main force of the Tartars whose horse speed has not decreased.
yes, they just crashed together. I saw that the people and horses in front of the two sides suddenly came to a performance of a person turning on his back, and the war horse collided directly, and the knight on horseback also broke off his horse and flew up under the huge inertia. At that scene, Shen Chongming, who was looking at it in the distance, was dumbfounded, this is the war in the era of cold weapons.
I have been watching the situation in front closely, and when I saw this magnificent situation, I couldn't help but frown.
To say that he has fought several Ming cavalry at the border pass, although each of them is brave and commendable, but in the face of his own warriors, their riding skills are really a little unmatched. Not to mention that Xiang is so hard-hitting, every time as long as their own forces have an advantage, they will shrink into the city and dare not fight. And even if their own forces are at a disadvantage, they will win less and lose more. It is precisely because of this that I dare to kill directly to rescue my precious grandson without knowing the enemy's strength.
However, the Ming army in front of him really surprised him. Seeing that his brigade was killed, not only did he not retreat, but he even dared to pounce straight up! That's it, the unchaotic formation of the war horses galloping just now is not like what the Ming army can have. Could it be that this cavalry of the Ming army is not the men and horses of the border army?
The next thing made me confirm my thoughts, only to see a thunderclap suddenly sound in the Ming army formation on the left. And the soldiers in the front row of their own side who had not yet taken over the battle suddenly fell off their horses, and the momentum of the fierce momentum suddenly stagnated, and the situation was very strange.
Supposedly, when something like this happens, it should have been the action of arrows. But I didn't see anyone in the Ming army release arrows, and besides, they had to have this ability, and riding and archery was definitely not something that the Han cavalry could do with the halfway monks.
"Father Khan, it's a firearm!" Young people are always more interested in new things than older people. He fought with the Ming army every year, and Xin Ai had seen the Ming army use firearms several times over the years.
However, the firearms in the Ming army are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and those used by the border army are far inferior to those used by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion. This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, the cost of firearms in the Shenji Battalion is too high, and the financially constrained imperial court cannot equip the border army soldiers on a large scale, so it can only hand over the relatively low-end arquebuses that the Shenji Battalion has eliminated to the border army officers and soldiers.
Although the power of this arquebus is not small, but Xin Ai has done a detailed understanding, it is inconvenient to carry, slow to fire, and the effect is unstable.
However, these firearms in front of him made Xin Ai frown, not only did he not find out just now, but even the cavalry could carry it, which was really a little too strange.
However, this doubt was immediately dispelled, and I saw that the Ming army, which had been fighting with their own side, never used firearms again, and it seemed that their problem of slow firing was still not solved.
However, as soon as I heard the word firearm, my brows furrowed even more. didn't bother with Xin Ai, raised his clairvoyance in his hand and carefully inspected the Ming army.
"My lord, what should I do next?" Wang Chonggu watched the momentum of the Mongolian Tartars being contained, turned his head to Shen Chongming and asked. I was worried in my heart, there were a lot of Tartars, and God knew if my own men and horses could outperform others without the support of the city.
"Of course it's a fight, let's mess up their formation first. Lord Wang, you have enough experience, let's arrange how to play. Shen Chongming replied without thinking about it, to be honest, Shen Chongming didn't have any detailed plans in his mind, so he could only take one step at a time.
Wang Chonggu only felt that his head was big for a while, this Lord Shen dared to take all his men and horses to fight against the army of Rida without making arrangements, how could this be good?
But at this time, even if he wanted to persuade Shen Chongming to withdraw his troops, it was impossible, whether there was a detailed plan or not, and he didn't care what the final result would be, he could only bite the bullet.
There are a lot of generals around him, Wang Chonggu is not humble, and directly made some arrangements, what is the left side outflanking, the right side impact, the middle side of the road and so on, there is no need to think in detail.
This situation fell in Shen Chongming's eyes, and he admired Wang Chonggu very much in his heart. As a veteran, this experience is not comparable to my current self.
As soon as I arrived with a large group of people, the Bahan Naji people, who had been struggling to resist, suddenly felt a light pressure. Bahannaji himself was able to escape, and was escorted back to Alta by a group of guards.
"Najib, grandpa's good grandson, the Nanban didn't hurt you, did he?" Looking at Bahannaji, I Ara, who already had some clues in his heart, asked with a kind face?
"Grandpa, you underestimate your grandson, there are tribal warriors, how did the Han people hurt Najib." Bahannaji is also a good-looking person, and he didn't mention the fact that his frightened legs trembled just now.
"Grandpa, it's rare for the Han cavalry to fight our Tatars in the field like this time, what's wrong with them this time?" Bahan Naji looked at the Han cavalry that not only did not retreat, but the whole army dispatched to fight with his own men and horses, and couldn't help but ask with some confusion.
"I'm afraid that this time the Han people are not commanding the generals of their border army." My brows furrowed again, and he had a faint premonition in his heart. Although I didn't think of anything wrong for a long time, I couldn't suppress this bad premonition.
Bahannaji frowned, "Grandpa, are you saying that the emperor of the Han people sent someone to the border pass?" ”
"Yes, can you see any difference between the clothes of those Han soldiers and ordinary Ming soldiers?" I replied and pointed to Xiong Dabiao and his group, who were rampage on the battlefield with a team of 3,000 soldiers.
Bahannaji stared at it, and sure enough, he noticed something unusual. I saw that Xiong Dabiao, who was invincible in the middle of the battle, had three feathers on his head with a steel helmet on his head, and the soldiers of the three thousand battalions around him were also one or two.
Bahan Naji knew that dressed like this, only the pro-army of the Han emperor was gone. As soon as they appeared, even if it was not the Han emperor, it was the messenger of the Han emperor who was here.
After another sweep, Bahannaji couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face. Why are so many Ming soldiers wearing soft armor and steel helmets with feathers on their heads, why didn't they find out just now?
Looking at his expression, I couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, it seemed that he also saw something unusual. Although every time there is a big war against the Han emperor, he will send some messenger to supervise the war, but there are only a few hundred guards at most, and it is really rare to send so many pro-troops to accompany him at one time.
"Grandpa, I'm afraid that this time the Han people's Qin mission is not small." Bahannaji said with a frown, aware of the strangeness of this matter as well as I did. arrived with so many people, I am afraid that this Han Qincha has a lot of plans, and he will definitely not come to solve the difficulties of the border pass.
As soon as he said this, I was even more sure of my uneasy feeling in my heart. Although I haven't been able to figure out what the Han Qin can do, it must be very dangerous to stay here.
"Grandpa, in my grandson's opinion, it's better for us to return to Huyukou as soon as possible." Bahannaji looked up and said. Outside the Huyukou is the prairie, and even if the Han people really have any conspiracy and tricks, they don't have to be afraid.
"Najib, hundreds of thousands of tribes are waiting for us to bring food back to tide over the difficulties, and now that you haven't grabbed the food, how can we go back?" Xin Ai suddenly interjected, looking at Bahan Naji with a majestic face, showing the majesty of the elders.
"What my uncle said makes sense, but my nephew found some this time, plus some days ago, it is always enough to cut down on food and clothing. And even if it's not enough, we can find another way in the future, but once the loss is heavy this time, it will not be such a simple problem. Bahannaji retorted.
Then he looked at me on the side with an anxious face and replied, "Grandpa, without further ado, let's withdraw our troops quickly, so as not to fall into the trap of the Han people." ”
"Father Khan ......" "Shut up!" As soon as he spit out two words, Xin Ai's words were interrupted by my answer.
I didn't give him an explanation, but turned my head directly to the herald and ordered: "Blow the trumpet, and the whole army will retreat from the battle, and try your best to break away from the Ming army." ”
The horn sounded, and I took Bahan Naji and ignored Xin Ai, who had an ugly face, and turned the horse's head and left first. He believed that his warriors were leaving, and these Han cavalry would not be able to stay at all.
"Lord Shen, the Tartars want to withdraw their troops!" As soon as he heard the sound of the horn, Wang Chonggu, who had a sad face, immediately showed a happy look on his face. In less than two quarters of an hour just now, nearly a thousand people and horses were lost, and Wang Chonggu had never seen such tragic casualties in his life, and he felt anxious when he looked at it.
Now the Tartars are suddenly ready to withdraw their troops, so that the casualties will be much smaller than the melee together, which is the greatest joy for Wang Chonggu.
"Hehe, it seems that I have found something wrong, in this case, how can we let him easily get his wish?" Shen Chongming smiled, as long as he entered the chase battle, the casualties would indeed be much smaller than the current big melee.
Hearing this, Wang Chonggu's expression couldn't help but darken, it seems that Lord Shen still doesn't plan to stop. "Then Lord Shen, what should we do now?"
"What to do? Of course, it's chasing and fighting, it's going to be beaten hard, it's going to be stalked! The Tartars must not be allowed to withdraw so easily, and as long as they can be delayed. Shen Chongming said fiercely.
In fact, he was already a little anxious in his heart. I never expected that I would find out that something was wrong so quickly, and now he is anxious to retreat, even if he chases and fights with his men and horses, I am afraid that it will not be delayed for long. The only thing I hope for now is that Zhang Chi can take his people to arrive before I escape from Huyukou, if not, it will be difficult to leave my life behind.
