Chapter 594: Duolong and Tian Bin's Encounter 2
This general of the Horqin Mongols is called Dolgo, I don't know where the Mongols got their habits, anyway, their names are extremely scarce, so they followed the European and Western ways, and made a large list of family names, father's names, father's surnames, mother's surnames, etc., and they only have surnames, which are placed in front of the whole name, and when everyone calls them, they call the first surname of their first name according to the Jurchen Jin and Han people's calling habits.
This Mongolian cavalry is a Mongolian cavalry in the land of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains, which has been stationed around Yanjing for several years, and previously followed the domestic slaves of Tong Yangxing to fight against the Mongolian cavalry in the south, and they cooperated with Li Chengdong's troops to kill the entire south, and then they were not transferred back to the prairie, and the prairie chaos did not take care of their cavalry troops who had been living in the land of the Han people for more than ten years.
This cavalry unit has taken root in the Central Plains, married and had children, many Mongols are now similar to the Han Chinese, except for those old cavalry, most of this team is a new second generation of Mongols and Han Chinese hybrids.
This Mongolian cavalry only has a mere 3,000 people or Duolong temporarily mobilized from Hebei Prefecture to assist him, and the Manchurian cavalry he led is only about 1,000 people, and he can't look down on the cavalry of the Han army banner and the green battalion, so he transferred this Mongolian cavalry, and he also sent 2,000 Han cavalry to follow this sortie, a total of 5,000 cavalry.
For these men on the grassland, in fact, Duolong is despised, all the Manchus who have been in Yanjing for more than ten years are self-proclaimed civilized people, they regard the barbaric and fierce demeanor of those men in the grasslands and mountains of different races as barbaric and uncivilized, although the Han people are more civilized, but they are now Manchu slaves, so he himself feels that he is very proud as a Manchu Manchu, so he doesn't care about this cavalry force of 5,000 people to attack the enemy, and it doesn't matter if he dies anyway, his own army of 60,000.
This is not a battle against the powerful Huaxia Army, there is no rain of bullets, there is no platoon of guns that are shot to death, there is no Huaxia Army artillery that can kill a dozen cavalry like a string of sugar gourds, that is some rebels, maybe they are all new army formations, but as far as he knows, most of the new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are some Mongols and Han army banners who fight with cold weapons, green battalion soldiers, and the backbone is recruited by the township brave regiment and other peasant soldiers to form a firearms unit, but the number of these firearms troops is too small, only more than 4,000 out of 15,000 people, There is no such thing as the Huaxia Army, which is uniformly armed with muskets.
Doron's troops marched slowly, and at the same time constantly recruited surrounding troops into the army to strengthen their own troops.
Tian Bin's army drove quickly towards his army, not dodging or dodging, because Duolong's troops gave Tian Bin's troops the feeling that they were a pure cold weapon army, and Tian Bin, who had seen the firearms troops cleanly and neatly pick the cold weapons troops under the horse, would not think that he would lose this battle if his troops were less than the opponent.
If it takes a day for the two armies to walk separately at a distance of fifty miles, but if the two armies deliberately collide, they will walk very fast for twenty-five miles on one side, and before noon, the two armies will be far away from each other.
The forwards of the two armies have collided together, five thousand cavalry on Duolong's side, and one thousand spearmen, one thousand crossbowmen, one thousand musketeers, and two hundred cavalry on Tian Bin's side.
Less than five miles behind was the Chinese army led by Tian Bin, and behind the palace was another new army town army of Wang Dong.
Seeing the vanguard of the rebels led by Tian Bin, the Mongolian Dolgotogo sent the cavalry troops of Xiang Yong and Tuanlian in the army to support the enemy first, although Xiangyong and Tuanlian were hard, whether it was in the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty's troops, they were cannon fodder, this did not say, anyway, your identity is not a regular army, and if you are not a regular army, you should be cannon fodder.
The five hundred elite troops who did not even have military uniforms, wore tattered and various costumes, held all kinds of weapons, rode pack horses and horses, and organized by the regiment, no matter when in the era of the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, the cavalry was the elite, and they were all the tank soldiers of this era, and the tank soldiers were definitely superior to the infantry, of course, they were the elite.
So the five hundred cavalry rushed forward, and the spearmen who were walking in front changed their formations, changing from marching columns to dense phalanxes, and erecting spears in front of them.
As soon as this action was done, the enemy's five hundred cavalry rushed up in several groups, and with a violent impact, the spearmen were knocked out one after another, and the formation was chaotic for a while, and then the whole team was formed in the shouting and scolding of the officers, and the unlucky cavalrymen hung on the spears one by one like sugar gourds, and were stabbed in pairs, and before they had time to wield the broadsword, the spears were shot by the crossbow archers behind a hornet's nest.
A wave of five hundred cavalry lost more than a hundred, the rest turned around and regrouped, and they became crossbow archers opposite them, and the crossbow archers who had been waiting for them spread out and shot crossbow arrows into the whole cavalry ranks, and the cavalry fell from their horses, and the cavalry that continued to move forward died like melting candles.
The five hundred cavalry composed of the village warriors and regimental training who rushed in with their heads covered and crashed in this way suffered heavy losses, and when they wanted to escape, there were countless three-layer phalanx horizontal formations of spearmen who turned around, a crossbow archer horizontal team in front, a horizontal team of musketeers in the rear, and two hundred cavalry on both wings that had been deployed, and they could not get out.
When there were dozens of people left, the cavalry of the village warriors and the regimental trainers raised their hands and threw away their weapons and surrendered.
The corners of Dolgo's mouth twitched, and the corners of his eyes kept jumping, and he was very painful for the cavalry team composed of five hundred village warriors and regimental training that were wiped out by the enemy in an instant.
The five hundred cavalry only killed and wounded the rebel ranks, and the dozens of spearmen disappeared.
"Order the cavalry of the green battalion to entangle the enemy's cavalry, and the cavalry of the Han army banner to storm the enemy's flanks, mainly to attack those crossbow archers, and our cavalry to attack the enemy's spearmen head-on," as a Mongolian cavalry general, Dolgotogo still has some common sense of warfare.
Where the enemy is the weakest, it must be the crossbowmen and musketeers in the back, and where it is the strongest, it must be the cavalry spearmen who are specially restrained.
But these did not exist at all in front of the Mongols, and it was not the first time that the Mongols had fought against the infantry of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they had rich experience in dragging the infantry of the Central Plains Dynasty to death.
In the rear, the army led by Duolong is still more than ten miles away, several marching columns composed of various troops pass through the wheat fields, cross the mountains and forests, pass through the woods, cross the rivers, and slowly march towards the destination, countless scouts send the enemy's intelligence and the information of the battle back to the Chinese army Duolong, for the loss of 500 cavalry in a battle, Duolong did not pay attention to it at all, this is an inevitable thing, how can those township Yong miscellaneous troops compare with the regular troops, the key battle has to depend on their regular troops.
