Eighty-seven cavalry members of the vanguard army survived, and Dolgotogo looked back at the enemy's slowly unfolding Chinese army, and had to leave with the remaining five hundred cavalry.

After the battlefield was cleaned, Tian Bin saw Tian Xian and said to him: "Good job, you successfully defeated the enemy's five thousand vanguard cavalry, I will report to the Metropolitan Governor for your credit, but now you can't stop, you still have to serve as the task of the rearguard, I will take only artillery and guns of soldiers to meet the enemy, most of the baggage has to be taken away, this is our last battle, if we win, we will get rid of the enemy's pursuit, if we lose, we will be flanked from both sides, and finally the whole army will be annihilated, whether it is life or death, It's up to you. ”

Tian Xian said: "If the enemy wants to attack our army, then you can only step on my corpse. ”

Tian Bin said with some depression: "Okay, yes, now take your soldiers down to join the baggage team, you are responsible for protecting the baggage team of the Chinese army, and the people of the baggage team and the green battalion soldiers who surrendered are at your disposal." This will be followed by an even more tragic battle, protect our baggage, and you will be responsible for covering the rear of the artillery brigade, and the Mongol cavalry behind us will not be far from us. ”

"General Xie, the last general will arrange it, and the last general will block the enemy's pursuers here."

"Okay, there are a lot of spare muskets in the baggage, although they are all inferior muskets and artillery made by the Ming army and the Qing army, but I give you the right to use them, and issue them to those people and green battalion soldiers, and the task of blocking the pursuing soldiers is up to you.

I will ask Wang Dong to hand over to you the men and baggage soldiers in his army, as well as the wounded soldiers, and give you another thousand cavalry, and you must organize the enemy to attack our army from behind, if before the enemy arrives, our army defeats Doron's troops, you will abandon the baggage and bring the soldiers and horses to catch up, if you are entangled, just wait for our army to come back, understand? ”

"Yes, General."

Tian Xian didn't expect that he had just experienced a tragic vanguard battle, and then he had to go to the back of the break, and the back of the break was originally a cavalry team composed of 3,000 Mongolian cavalry, 2,000 Han army banners and green battalions, Xiangyong, and regimental training, and although more than half of his 3,600 vanguard army was victorious, it was also a tragic victory.

Why the tragic victory, Tian Xian understands that he does not have much Huaxia military ordnance in his hands, and the Mongolian cavalry fights a cold weapon war, these Han people, the Ming people obviously still live in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty faced the Manchu cavalry advantage but won less and lost more, there was no advantage, and could not use spearmen to restrain the enemy's cavalry like the Huaxia army, use muskets to restrain the enemy's bows and arrows, use cannons to disrupt the enemy's charge, and use their own cavalry to pursue the enemy's cavalry.

And obviously, the new Han army trained by the Qing Dynasty cannot be compared with the strict military discipline of the Huaxia Army, whether in terms of training or combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of these Han soldiers in the new army town can only be said to be slightly higher than the combat effectiveness of the militia units of the Huaxia Army, a little worse than the combat effectiveness of the garrison battalion of the Huaxia Army, a lot worse than the combat effectiveness of the garrison regiment, and compared with the field brigade, it is not a problem of being a little worse, it must be crushed.

He was promoted to an intelligence officer and a member of the field brigade in the era of the Jinhua Righteous Army, and he rose step by step from the era of cold weapons and inferior firearms in the era of the Jinhua Righteous Army, and he did not stay long in the field brigade because of his cleverness and good thinking, and was selected and transferred to the Procurement Department of the Governor's Mansion presided over by Baghyalu in Milin, and was first sent to Tian Bin's subordinates to follow Tian Bin in the Qing army as a detailed work, liaison, and then was dispatched to Huang Tao's subordinate organization to organize the formation of a liaison station with the Jinqi Department on the prairie. After that, he returned to Mi Lin as an intelligence officer, and soon became a member of the intelligence department's action team, participating in the capture of the enemy, eradicating the landlord gentry, and assassinating the local generals.

In Mahan, after Zhao Hu was transferred back, he served under Wang, organized intelligence officers to manage the intelligence action team in Tian Bin's army, and then the intelligence action team was dismantled and assigned to the new military towns formed by Hong Chengchou, and now these intelligence officers have become a captain in their own army in the new army of the Qing army, generals, and commanders, not only Hong Chengchou here, but also other Qing Han military banners left in Yanjing, the green battalion troops, and even the new army of Haoge, these people are all based on the position of middle-level military generals, At the same time, develop their own downline, develop intelligence officers of the Ministry of Military Intelligence.

Except for Xinjun Town, which was brought back by Tian Bin this time, the other intelligence officers have already hidden and waited to be summoned.

Because Tian Bin responded to Hong Chengchou's call to bring troops back, this time he must have lost a lot of intelligence personnel, there are thousands of intelligence personnel brought back, and there are thousands of people who have been hidden, the Qing army will definitely clear a part, and some intelligence personnel will definitely rebel downline, and then betray some people, it can be said that Hong Chengchou's move has caused heavy losses to the Military Intelligence Department of the Huaxia Army, but for the sake of Hong Chengchou, a big fish, whether it is Zhang Qiang or Mi Lin, Tian Bin thinks it is worth the risk, but who knows, Hong Chengchou is so ineffective, he actually makes people loyal****** The officials were defeated and lost a lot of land, otherwise what a good situation it was.

Saying everything is false, there is no regret medicine to take, Tian Xian has no way to face it, he can only face it, the fifty or sixty thousand Mongolian cavalry chasing soldiers behind must be blocked, because the enemy's pursuit has reached fifty miles away, because Tian Bin suddenly turned around, and the Mongolian cavalry who wanted to intercept Tian Bin's troops in front of him made a move, and Wang moved the tiger away from the mountain, and he ran for fifty or sixty miles, and then suddenly turned around, shook off the Mongolian cavalry's pursuers, and now it is close to Tian Bin's Chinese army brigade, and even ran to the front of the team, this post-mortem task can only be handed over to Tian Xian.

Tian Xian issued several orders in a row, and the timid and frail people were ordered to pull their baggage and continue to follow Tian Bin's large army, which had already set off to meet the Duolong troops, and they had already walked five or six miles, and these people were about 1,000 people.

There were about 800 wounded soldiers in their own team, and their task was to clean up the battlefield with 500 young and strong people, find the horses, and then bury the corpses, and then 200 lightly wounded people who could still fight turned around and went to rest, and the remaining lightly wounded who could walk but could not fight carried the seriously wounded to continue to chase the baggage troops, Tian Xian sent 50 wounded cavalry to escort them to chase the troops.

Upon completion of the mission, the 500 men immediately joined the task of digging trenches, which connected large areas of the area, and cut down trees, created obstacles, and built fortifications.

This task has been carried out by about 2,000 people before.

Not only are they doing it, but the soldiers under Tian Xian are also doing it, but they are all led by generals to mainly arrange some counterattack positions and implement the layout of fortifications.

Soon the 1,000 cavalry that Tian Bin transferred to Tian Xian arrived, and the task given to them by Tian Xian was to immediately go to the nearby villages and towns to find people, and gather all the young and strong people in the nearby villages and towns here.

Because of the terrain here, the cavalry can only pass through here, because there are roads here, and other places are either hills or mountains, and it is difficult for cavalry to pass, this is the place where the roads meet, maybe some cavalry can advance from some remote paths to catch up with Tian Bin's army, but obviously it takes a lot of distance and time, and the cavalry has to pass through here if they want to quickly catch up with Tian Bin's army, so Tian Xian can intercept the enemy's cavalry here.

"Here, here is a wood, you take people to set up triphorses, dig pits in front of the woods, dig more, cover the woods around, so that the enemy can only advance through the woods, and then set up tripwires on the narrow road in the woods, dig the traps in a large open space, set up some small organs, you are all intelligence officers, these have training, you don't need me to tell you how to do it, be fast, don't be too meticulous, as long as you can block the enemy, even if it is set in the open, the enemy can't crack it."

"Captain, lead your musket squad to ambush in the woods, dig trenches and foxholes in front of you, the purpose is to defend the open space in the large woods, and leave a way for your people to retreat, and finally leave men and horses at the exit of the woods, dig trenches, this time you must do something realistic, because you may have to hold on for a long time, you can't hear my rallying cry, even if you are all killed, you can't retreat. Do you understand? ”

"Captain, lead your crossbowmen, what are the only a few people left of your crossbowmen who died, don't make excuses, we have died so many crossbowmen, people are dead, but the weapons are still there, go to the people to select people, go to the young and strong to select people, find out those who have been soldiers before, or have flexible minds and strong bodies, and then add them to your team, your task is to go to this mountain peak to defend.

Prepare more rolling logs, arrange tripwires at narrow intersections, dig horse pits, and then dig up the road for me, so that the enemy's cavalry can only pass under the peak, you guard on top, first use the rolling wood and stones to deal with the enemy, if the enemy dismounts and fights, you shoot the enemy with crossbow arrows, if the enemy rushes up the mountain, you draw your waist knife and fight the enemy, my order is, you are all dead, but you must block the enemy for me, you can't hear the rallying cry, you can't retreat, understand? ”

"You want more people, otherwise you won't be able to complete the task, no, the people and young men of the brigade I have to arrange the final battlefield here, I can't hand it over to you, you only have the right to use some of the people, and I will use the rest of the people, okay, give you an hour to use, and let them come back to report after an hour, but you can't take too many people, except for the people and young men who are added to the battle, I won't give you one more people and young people, of course, if you can find a way to find it, I won't stop it, My order is to hold back the enemy for a certain amount of time until you are dead or my rallying cry sounds. ”

Tian Xian spent half an hour to assign the tasks, and the people he could command were his remaining more than 1,600 soldiers and 1,000 cavalry, as well as 500 green battalion baggage soldiers, these baggage soldiers were all soldiers who surrendered, as for the people who had no combat effectiveness, 2,000 people might have to bury them, but what he wanted to block was 50,000 or 60,000 Mongolian cavalry, which was simply hitting a stone with an egg, so he had to hurry up and deploy.
