Text Chapter 545 Yellow Flag
Dam Mountain is northeast-southwest direction, there are 100 miles away from the Yellow River, this sandy land between mountains and rivers, the floating sand is very thick, step on it with your feet, soft and lubricated, but get the moisture of the Yellow River, the groundwater is very rich, the pasture grass is extremely lush, it is only in March, the yellow sand can no longer be seen on the ground, as far as the eye can see, it is a piece of green.
This is indeed the perfect battlefield for the decisive battle of the cavalry.
In the north, tens of thousands of Jurchen cavalry, divided into three teams, in the middle is the inlaid white flag, on the left is the inlaid red flag of Yue Tuo, on the right is the inlaid yellow flag of Haoge, the five corners are bordered, the perimeter is red, the yellow bottom of the oolong in the middle, the five claws are open, and the blood-red dragon tongue is faintly visible in the mouth......
And on the opposite side of them, to the southeast of Dam Mountain, there were also two columns of cavalry, and the banner of the soldiers on the left was a dark gray wolf's head, with a bloody mouth, a red tongue spitting out, and a pair of deep eyes, almost swaying with the morning wind.
The soldier on the right side is playing a pale yellow tiger head flag, and on the forehead of the tiger head, there are three horizontal and one vertical thick black velvet, which just constitutes a Chinese character "Wang", and the end is extremely majestic.
Between the wolf's head flag and the tiger's head flag, there is a square red flag on each side, and nine golden stars are evenly distributed in the center, which looks majestic and solemn, and is fluttering in the wind......
Dolgon's brow was almost twisted into a chaotic grassland, "Yueto, Hauge, do you know the banner on the other side?" When did a new tribe emerge in Wolf Mountain? ”
Yue Tuo and Hao Ge both shook their heads, they were the same as Dolgon, they were all in Shengjing City on weekdays, how do they know what happened to the remote Wolf Mountain, here and Shengjing, separated by thousands of miles, if it weren't for the remnants of the Chahar Department, maybe they would never come to this remote and desolate place for the rest of their lives.
Sakhalian took two steps forward and said, "Uncle Fourteen, Tashhai came from the big grass beach, maybe he can recognize these flags." ”
Dolgon wore a hood on his head, dressed in armor, and put on a white robe outside, which was very eye-catching, and the person also looked heroic, he did not look back, but just moved his hand back, Sakhalian hurriedly said: "Tashhai, the fourteenth uncle called you!" ”
Tashhai clamped the horse's belly, urged the war horse, and came to Dolgon's side, "Lord Belle, are you looking for a villain?" ”
"Tashhai, whose banner is on the other side?" Dorgon sat upright on his horse, not moving, not even looking back.
"Back to Lord Belle, nine stars, that's the Kyushu military flag of the Heavenly Mandate Army," Tashhai also bowed on horseback, "The Han Li Zicheng has seized Xining, that is the capital governor of the Heavenly Mandate Army!" ”
"A bunch of thieves?" Haoge showed a look of contempt, the corners of his mouth grinned, and said: "Uncle Fourteen, just a thief, dare to be the majesty of my golden cavalry?" ”
"Hauge should not be underestimated," Dolgon's eagle-like eyes revealed a trace of worry, "The wolf's head banner and the tiger's head banner are clearly the symbols of the grassland, besides, the other party is the same as us, all cavalry, a small thief, how can there be so many war horses?" Could it be that the Mandate of Heaven has joined forces with whom? ”
"Fourteen Uncle ......" Hauge still wanted to distinguish, but was stopped by Dolgon.
Yue Tuo hurriedly sacrificed Tashhai, "You slave, tell me quickly, what is going on with this wolf head flag and tiger head flag?" Is it the cavalry of a certain tribe? ”
"This ...... The minions really don't know! "When Tashhai left the city of Yonggu in Dacaotan, the tiger cavalry and wolf cavalry had not yet been formed, and Lin Dan Khan was still in control of the Chahar Department at that time.
"Waste......" Sakhalian scolded!
Haoge snorted coldly and said, "Fourteenth uncle, most of the Chahar Mongols have surrendered to Dajin, and now that Lin Dan Khan is dead, it is impossible for the Mongols to stop the prestige of my Dajin...... Don't hesitate any longer, give the order, no matter whose banner is on the other side, the yellow flag is willing to be the vanguard......"
"Hauge, you can't keep the point? Say goodbye to the decisive battle! "Dolgon faintly felt that something was wrong, although the Mongols were like a plate of scattered sand, and the various tribes of Monan had been surrendered and would no longer pose a threat to the Dajin Kingdom, but the cavalry on the opposite side ...... It's been half an hour, but it's not moving!
Could it be that the combat effectiveness is stronger than the cavalry of the Dajin Kingdom?
Fortunately, the number of people on the opposite side is not too much, and visually, it is only 6,000 cavalry, which is just more than double that of the red flag!
However, Dolgon did not intend to increase his troops, with the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Dajin Kingdom, even if he could not win, he would never be defeated in a short time, and he really couldn't resist it, at that time the Heavenly Mandate Army was already tired, and if he sent the living cavalry, it was more likely to win.
Hauge was a little dissatisfied, Dolgon has always been self-righteous, he has never valued himself, his own ideas, he will never adopt them, so he said angrily: "This is a war, not you marry Fujin, what time does it matter?" ”
Dolgon despised it in his heart, but his face did not change color, "Hauge, you are receiving the yellow flag, which is the royal flag of the Great Khan, you can't move it lightly, let's hand it over to the red flag first, we will give Yue Tuo a little formation here, and then talk about it depending on the situation!" ”
"Yes, Uncle Fourteen," Yue Tuo saluted on horseback, turned to look, and said, "Sakhalian, when you attack, you will stay behind me, as the right wing." ”
"No, big brother, you are the flag master, just now Uncle Fourteen said, don't move lightly, let me take the lead......"
Hauge didn't earn the vanguard, he was angry in his heart, Dolgon was the fourteenth uncle, and the main general of this expedition, he had to swallow the foam and swallow all the dissatisfaction together.
He suddenly heard Yue Tuo and Sakhalian fighting for the right to go out of the campaign, and he felt a little bored in his heart, and shouted: "Some unknown rats, is it worth making such a fuss? There are also 3,000 horsemen with the Yellow Banner, and if you are afraid, leave it to the Yellow Banner, and when you repel the enemy, I will share half of your credit. ”
Yue Tuo glared at Hauge and snorted coldly: "Sakhalian doesn't have to fight, you are still young, follow me, and the right wing will be handed over to you......"
Sakhalian didn't dare to say more, so he had to shake the reins of his horse and return to the right flank.
At this time, a ranger of the Heavenly Mandate Army came from the opposite side, shouting at the front of the battle: "It's almost time, can you fight or not?" If you don't fight, get away......"
He spoke Mongolian, which Dolgon mostly understood.
Yue Tuo has always had a good # temperament, but he was scolded by the other party's nobody, and he couldn't help but be angry, and he didn't ask Dolgon for instructions, but raised the long knife in his hand to the sky, and shouted: "Warriors, kill, kill all the Han dogs on the other side, the cavalry of the Dajin Kingdom is invincible!" ”
"Kill the ...... of the Dog"
"The cavalry of the Dajin Kingdom is invincible......"
Countless soldiers responded, and Yue Tuo took the opportunity to pull the reins of his horse, and sprinted at the front of the cavalry, close to the left flank, and divided the two wings with Sakhalian, in case the cavalry was rushed away by the other side, and the soldiers on both flanks would not be left without a leader.
The Tiger Cavalry and the Wolf Cavalry on the opposite side began to accelerate almost at the same time.
The cavalry with red flags marched in an arrow-shaped formation, with two long columns, one on the left and one on the right, diagonally forward, sharing an "arrow" that protruded forward.
The same arrow-shaped array, the Han people call it a conical array, the difference is that the tiger cavalry and the wolf cavalry are two relatively independent arrow-shaped formations, and when they sprint, they have gradually widened the distance.
Cavalry duels on the battlefield, the arrow-shaped formation is the easiest to cut into the opponent's formation, cut the opponent's formation raw, divide it into two sections, it is difficult to take care of the left and right, and after several charges, the opponent's formation will be chaotic, and it is easy to be wrapped in dumplings.
Yue Tuo saw that the other party had been separated from the left and right, and his "arrow" had lost its effect, in case the opponent's combat effectiveness was stronger than he imagined, and if he couldn't get his own cavalry, he would be divided into two or three strands, but the cavalry had already begun to sprint, and it was difficult to change the complex formation, he waved the long knife in his hand and shouted: "The left and right wings are separated, change the goose-shaped formation!" ”
This goose-shaped formation is the one-line shape that the Han cavalry said to use, that is, the simplest column attack, Yue Tuo is going to fight hard.
"Da Da Da ......"
The horse's hooves stepped on the gentle sand, and the crisp sound disappeared a lot, but nearly 10,000 war horses on both sides, tens of thousands of horses' hooves, ran, the momentum was very terrifying, and the sand and ash raised by the horses' hooves went straight to the sky, covering the sky and the sun......
The tiger cavalry and wolf cavalry have poured out, while the Jurchens' red flags are only 3,000 soldiers, and the number is only half of the Heavenly Mandate Army.
Seeing Yue Tuo's change of formation, Dolgon knew that he had no choice but to do it, so he threw the corner of the white robe that had been holding in the palm of his hand outward, and let the wind blow, "Hauge, do you say that the other party's generals are stupid, or are they too impulsive, why do you attack the whole battalion as soon as you come up?" ”
"Maybe they want to strike first," Hauge said coldly: "I said a long time ago that the cavalry of the Dajin Kingdom is invincible in this world, and the Heavenly Mandate Army ...... With their tactics, as long as the red flag can hold out for half an hour, as soon as you and I come out, the tired army of the Heavenly Mandate Army will be crushed with one blow! ”
"Hauge, don't be careless," Dolgon saw that the sand ash raised gradually disappeared from the figure of the cavalry, and a trace of worry was born in his heart, but it was a pity that Hauge was a brainless thing...... "You say, will the Mandate of Heaven army set up an ambush on the mountain?" ”
"Ambush?" Hauge suddenly muttered like a deflated ball: "It's a pity that our rangers can't investigate this dam mountain, and the rangers of the Heavenly Mandate Army are not afraid of death......"
"Since the rangers of the Mandate of Heaven are not afraid of death, their generals must not be fools," Dolgon suddenly became worried in his heart, but his face still maintained his original composure, "Hauge, after a while, Yue Tuo will almost consume the opponent's energy, I will lead the white flag to attack, attack the opponent's battle formation with fresh troops, cut them into several sections, and then divide and surround them, your yellow banner is stationed here, beware of the ambush of the Mandate of Heaven Army!" ”
"Uncle Fourteen, you are the main general, leave this charge to me!" Hauge prefers to sing against Dolgon.
Besides, the main force of the Mandate of Heaven Army, only 6,000 soldiers, as long as Yue Tuo and Sakhalian can hold them back, and then charge into battle with 3,000 fresh troops, at this time the number of both sides is equal, and the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Flag is stronger than the Red Flag, and it is easier to defeat the Mandate of Heaven Army than to drink mare's milk wine.
Is such a military feat thrown to Tedolgon in vain?
If you continue to stay for a while, at most you will clean up a few dead cats and rabbits, not only will you have little success, but you can't be happy......
