Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 40 Fierce Battle
、、、、、、、
Although Prince Khurich had already made a wishful thinking, how could he let his conspiracy to join forces succeed if he had no way. Moreover, the advantage of the Mongol cavalry lies in its mobility to come and go, and once encamped, its defensive power is far inferior to that of the Central Plains army. Seeing this, Feng Wuli attacked the camp with elite infantry in the open, but secretly notified another medium-sized tribe three hundred miles away from the Sark tribe to prepare for an ambush. After years of preparation, Feng Wufang has already bought many small and medium-sized tribes that are openly attached to the Sark and Dzungaria, and now it has come in handy.
Since Hurich's three large camps were horns of each other, and one side was suffering and the other two sides could support, the attack on the camp did not go well. Feng Wufang also had a plan, just delegated the dead soldiers in the forward battalion to fight to the death, and the archers were pressed in the back, but fierce means such as rockets did not dare to be used. It must be known that in this vast grassland, once the fire of the prairie rises, there is only one way for both the enemy and us to burn the jade.
The battle ahead was in full swing, and the dead were everywhere, but the generals in the rear still looked calm, as if it was not their own robes that died. The soldiers in the northwest are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they have long held an indifferent attitude towards the battlefield of death, and they will not change color because of life and death. In addition, the forward battalion is full of soldiers who have committed military capital crimes, and if they die in battle, not only can they be exempted from the crime, but their families can also receive generous pensions, so they are all fearless to go forward to kill the enemy.
"It's a pity, I'm afraid that Hu Liqi is using a useless Central Plains strategist by his side, otherwise how could he use this strategy to defend the camp?" The wind has no direction and looks into the distance, only to see that there is a fight everywhere, only half an hour. At least nearly 1,000 soldiers were killed on both sides, and the Northwest Allied forces suffered even heavier casualties due to their attacking side. "Discarded the characteristic of cavalry that came and went like the wind. actually set up camp here, he is really enough for his own use. He glanced at the battle ahead. He asked in a deep voice, "Have the traps and other objects in front of you been swept away?" ”
A soldier beside him gave a military salute on his horse, and then replied: "Back to the commander, the fortification battalion has come to report, and there are not many traps ahead." It's all been removed! ”
Feng Wufang frowned, obviously puzzled by this answer. However, when the Malay newspaper said that the left and right battalions had arrived to help, he showed a smile. Listening to his order, the commanders of the three battalions behind all restrained their horses and rushed out in a mighty manner.
This was already the third day of the camp, and in the first two days, Feng Wufang had only sent people to harass him a little and then quickly left, as if he didn't care about the battle. Hurich saw that reinforcements were coming.
I wished that the wind was dragging on like this, but who expected that on the last day, the offensive would suddenly become extremely fierce. In order to defeat the enemy. He had to give up the turtle retreat tactics, and half of the ground cavalry under his command had already been dispatched, after all, deep down in his heart. The Central Plains cavalry, of course, was far inferior to his Mongol elite cavalry.
Zhang Yunfeng, the commander of the Shuangyue Battalion, rode his horse and galloped among a group of cavalry, and his heart was extremely quiet. Ever since he escorted Feng Wuxian to the Kurten Division, he had made up his mind to stay in the Northwest Army. In the past few years, although his rank has not risen, he has already hung the false title of General Zhenwei, and even rewarded him with the title of first-class earl. If this battle can be done again, I am afraid that it will be able to move forward. Although he is a noble son, he is not as good as Zhong Zhengye, the commander of the Long Strike Battalion, Zhong Zhengye is just relying on the identity of his mother, the eldest princess of Anping, but he has considerable force and strategy.
Looking at the approaching Mongolian cavalry in front of him, he suddenly felt his blood surge, and suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted angrily: "Kill!" The sound of the iron horse full of Jin Ge spread throughout the camp, and all the soldiers were excited, the swords in their hands were raised high, and their eyes were filled with a sense of murderous madness.
The heads of the two teams of centaurs suddenly collided violently, Zhang Yunfeng did not flinch, but actually rode his horse towards the Mongolian general who led the army, and this crazy situation suddenly caught the other party off guard.
Over the years, the Northwest Army has been practicing riding skills hard and has figured out many crooked methods, and this horse collision is one of them. Just when the two horses collided, Zhang Yunfeng stretched out his foot and kicked the belly of the opponent's horse, and the spear in his hand stabbed at the opponent like lightning, and the two personal soldiers who followed him did not dare to slack off, except for one left and one right to protect the boss, each slashed at the horse's head with a saber. The Mongolian general saw that the situation was not good, and after shouting, he flew backwards and jumped off his horse, grabbed the reins of his own soldiers and horses that followed behind, and changed to a horse in a moment, and his war horse naturally did not have such good luck, and the two sabers hit his horse's head, and he immediately fell to the ground.
Zhang Yunfeng sneered and chased after him with a gun, he didn't need to look around to know that the two sides had started a fight, the deep smell of blood on the battlefield stimulated him to go crazy, only a hundred and ten steps away, there were as many as seven people who died under his spear, and there were a few more deep scars on his body. When he felt the pressure relaxed, he realized that he was out of the enemy's position, and he was not conceited enough that he could kill a few times in and out of the enemy army, and after pouring some gold potion on the wound at will, he ordered to go around to the flank and attack. The sergeants who rushed out with him were only a few thousand horsemen, and the rest of the land was trapped in the enemy's battle, while the Mongol cavalry, because of its small number of soldiers, could only charge from the head of the formation to the end of the formation of only a few hundred, so they were unable to attack again.
Feng listened to the report of the Tanma expressionlessly, until he heard that the Dzungar army had engaged the ambush soldiers of the answering department, and he couldn't help but let out a long laugh. He looked back at the neat array of soldiers behind him, and shouted: "The Dzungar reinforcements have been trapped by the ambush of this king, everyone, if you don't break the enemy at this time, how long will you wait?" ”
Behind him, the cavalry commanders of the Kurten Department and the Suotu Department were all overjoyed, and they were afraid that they would have to deal with reinforcements in the middle of the battle, and at this time they heard that the Dzungars had been intercepted, and there was no reason not to fight for merit. Before leaving, the respective princes had instructed that if they could get Feng Wufang's appreciation, they would all be added to the rank and rank when they returned, so the two of them bowed slightly on their horses and saluted slightly, and then asked for orders to fight. After each of the two teams sent nearly 10,000 horses to march towards the left and right battalions, he ordered the Chinese army to advance slowly, constantly approaching the battlefield in the fierce battle.
Since there were 50,000 reinforcements from Dzungaria, the pressure on the ambush soldiers of the Answering Service Department was really not small, even if they were calculated or not. They are only a medium tribe in Monan, and they usually need to rely on the snort of the three major tribes to act, and the wind has no way to entrap a little before, and the king of Daqin County readily agreed to ambush the big task. Of course, Feng Wufang was not worried about the other party's 20,000 cavalry, and as early as a month ago, the army horses of various small tribes had galloped to help. Because they are all inconspicuous small tribes, with hundreds or thousands of military horses, they are inconspicuous and do not arouse suspicion.
If it was Tegu who led the troops to help, then there might be a way to avoid it, but it was a pity that Ke Tuce had to think twice and had to send his mother and brother Qinfu in order to balance the tribal forces. Chin Fu was also a Dzungar general, and he had a great reputation for murder, and his troops and horses were stained with the blood of innocent herdsmen. After learning that he could go to Monan Mongolia to plunder first, his excitement was hanging, and as for the so-called allied Sark, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
It was because of his recklessness and conceit that the number of scouts in front of him was reduced by half, so he was easily ambushed. The horses of the Answering Department and other small tribes did not wait in front of them, but simply disguised themselves as horse thieves, attacked the flanks of the Chenfu army with all their rangers, and then retreated when they had achieved some results. In his furiousness, Chin Fu completely forgot about the important task of galloping to help, and kept sending troops to pursue, and in less than half a day's effort, only 30,000 of his 50,000 troops and horses were left in the Chinese army.
It was only now that Chin Fu realized that he seemed to have fallen into a trap, and the military horses sent out did not respond at all, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. According to the information received in advance, this place should be the territory of the Sark Department, and there will be no horse thieves, and Qinfu, who calmed down, couldn't help but feel that the matter was serious, and immediately ordered to move forward at full speed. However, after being delayed for most of the day, the Dzungar army has completely fallen into the trap of Feng Wufang in advance. After the 40,000 cavalry of the Northwest Army broke through the Sarkbu camp like sharp knives, they did not stop, but directly prepared to meet the rear. They are all people who have warmed up their bodies, and they are naturally more murderous than the Dzungar army on the expedition. In less than half an hour, the galloping two armies met squarely, and the most lethal battalion in the northwest faced the most murderous Qinfu army in Dzungaria, which was a thrilling battle.
In this spear-to-spear battle, Lu Yuanchang was not chaotic at all, and the soldiers behind him continued to change the sound of the horn with his shouting orders, and at this moment, the excellent training and battle-hardened momentum of the past were fully revealed. Even in the face of the same murderous Qinfu army, their momentum did not fall behind at all, but they faintly gained the upper hand because of the previous battle. However, after all, the battlefield battle was all dangerous, and in just one hour, the personal guards behind Lu Yuanchang lost more than a dozen, and the personal soldiers responsible for conveying orders with horns were also replaced by four. However, Lu Yuanchang and the three hundred guards behind him rushed left and left in the enemy formation like sharp knives, and stabbed the opponent in the heart.
Since this is the best tactic of the Breaking Battalion, even if Qin Fu wanted to lead his troops to intercept it in person, he was skillfully avoided by Lu Yuanchang.
Although Chimpho had always been pretentious, he was a little out of breath after losing more than half of his horses. With the assistance of several confidant generals, the Dzungar army, which was in a stalemate, slowly retreated, wanting to withdraw from the battle. However, Lu Yuanchang rejected the suggestions of several generals to continue the pursuit, and began to gather his military horses, and the two sides slowly left the battlefield with a tacit understanding. In the battle, the coalition forces of the Answering Service Department annihilated a total of more than 13,000 Dzungar troops, and they also suffered heavy losses. The Breaking Battalion and the Qinfu Army fought fiercely for half a day, destroying nearly 20,000 enemies and inflicting more than 10,000 casualties, which can be called a great victory.
After losing the reinforcements of his allies, Prince Sark had to abandon the camp and flee to the northwest, and the nearly 100,000 cavalry was finally reduced to less than 40,000. When the good news reached the capital, Feng Wuxian and the ministers were all overjoyed, far overshadowing the gossip and the great change.
