Without a Trace Volume 7 Capture the Heir Chapter 22 Fighting
、、、、、、、
Zhang Yunfeng and Lu Yuanchang didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly, those Tartars should still be looting and slaughtering. Just now, from the mouth of a timid cavalryman, they pry out the ins and outs of the matter. Ke Tu Celing's most henchmen generals, Tegu and Lunsu, have always had a grudge, and this time they came to avenge their personal revenge, and his master easily let him bring 20,000 people out. It's really child's play, and the two of them turned such a thought in their hearts at the same time, and they couldn't understand that they would let their official affairs go to report their personal grievances.
However, those cavalry did not have the consciousness to be used by their own commanders, and for them, the feud between Tegu and Lunsu could only be washed away with blood, which was what any noble warrior should do. The Lord will bring them here to complete the battle of revenge, which is undoubtedly a sign of trust in them, and now that they have seized wealth and women from those Lunsu people, they have vented their desires and murderous nature, and now they will teach the nosy Han people a lesson by the way.
When the brave meet on a narrow road, this is what those Dzungar cavalry are doing now. The corpses of their companions did not make them cringe in any way, but only aroused their infinite murderous and bloody spirit. Even the officers and men of the Assault Battalion, which is known as the most lethal in the Northwest Military Camp, have to admit that they are far less crazy than the enemy.
I don't know how the main general Tegu thinks about it, in the face of an enemy whose number is far superior to his own, he actually dares to let his subordinates rush to kill with blood, and he even rushes to the front with a desperate horse. The revenge just now has made his blood boil, and his biggest knot has been untied, killing one is enough, killing two to earn a pair. At this time, Tegu seemed to have completely forgotten that he was a general in command. Probably due to lack of preparation, many of these men who should have been cavalry rushed to kill barefoot.
Without being commanded, they played the role of the Chinese military and the locality.
For a bunch of enemies like mad dogs. Lu Yuanchang didn't have half stage fright, he had seen too much of the Tartars' nonsense, how could he be intimidated by their momentum? Under his orders, the infantry of the Breaking Battalion retreated as they engaged the battle, trapping the enemy like a pocket.
Zhang Yunfeng, who was next to him, only responded to the story. He saw the killing intent of the other party's soldiers, so he restrained his subordinates not to rush too far ahead, and it was precisely in this way that Lu Yuanchang was given the opportunity to arrange calmly. The cavalry on both flanks had already fought in a fierce battle against each other, and it was an encounter, and although the north-west was prepared, the Dzungars made up for their haste to meet the enemy.
Swords and swords rained, feathers and arrows flew, but it was precisely this that constituted the most tragic scene of the entire battlefield. Like the frenzied Dzungar cavalry, the men of the Breakout Battalion are trying their best to play the true level of their 1st Battalion in the Northwest. This is not the first time that Zhang Yunfeng and the Breaking Battalion have worked together.
But in the past, it was only a distant strategy, and never really fought side by side as it is today. Figures leaped up and fell, the crisp sound of blades clashing. Coupled with the muffled snort and screams of the sword entering his body, he finally realized the strength of the Breaking Battalion, and the jealousy and dissatisfaction in his heart were also disappearing little by little.
Except for the small number of infantry that had been planned at first, it was a contest between two elite cavalry armies. Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng both knew. Those infantry in the middle are undoubtedly victims, but for those prisoners, it is better to die on the battlefield than on the court of justice, not to mention that the sentence can be reduced after meritorious service, and maybe there is a chance to see the light of day again, so the two of them are not concerned about the casualties of those people. Similarly, for veterans on the battlefield, the enemy doesn't care about their life and death, and they don't care about minor injuries and serious injuries.
"This battle is won!" Lu Yuanchang muttered to himself, and the two guards around him couldn't help but raise their heads. They are all following this old man who has been in charge for many years, and they know that they are the same as Zhan Pohan, they never win lightly, and now they suddenly assert that they will win next time, and they are undoubtedly sure of victory. Then, seeing the chaotic situation on the battlefield, they couldn't help but wonder again, those people were still full of tenacity, and there seemed to be no sign of defeat.
Zhang Yunfeng also shook his head, although that Tegu said that he personally rushed to the front, he seemed to have used tactics. This is not a small-scale contact of a few thousand people, tens of thousands of horses are thrown into it at once, for a battlefield, the slightest carelessness is a melee. Although the current battle situation seems to be disorderly, in fact, there is still a certain order, otherwise it would be impossible for him and Lu Yuanchang, the two main generals, to take the most elite Chinese army to watch the excitement in the back.
"It's time!" Lu Yuanchang suddenly waved his hand, and the Chinese army, which was originally stationary, suddenly started, and the sound of horses' hooves spread throughout the battlefield like a life-killing talisman. Zhang Yunfeng was naturally not far behind, he was only a dozen steps behind Lu Yuanchang, and Xueliang's saber had already been raised high. It was a victory, and he certainly couldn't let the unsheathed knife retract cleanly.
"Finally dispatched?" Tegu, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes, which were still fanatical just now, suddenly became clear, which did not match the appearance of being covered in blood. He suddenly yelled at the guards who were following closely behind to protect him, only to see the tall young man neatly pull out a strange object from his bosom and blow it vigorously.
The total number of infantry and cavalry in this attack of Dzungaria was about 14,000, but they withstood the attack of nearly 30,000 people on the other side, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were one enemy and two of them. Although the number in the Tanma newspaper was 20,000, both Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng thought that it was a trick on the shoes, and that kind of exaggerated military strength was a common thing when the two armies were fighting, so no one cared. What's more, the Tegu Department had already fought a tough battle before this battle, and according to the strength of the Lunsu Department, it was quite rare for them to be able to fight with 14,000 men.
However, Tegu's ability to hide his strength was indeed just right, and when he had picked out the Lunsu army before, he had laid down three thousand elites over there in advance as a preparation. He knew that it was extremely unwise for him to choose this opportunity to take revenge, and it was likely that he would directly confront the Han people in the northwest because of this, so he bought off Leb, the younger brother of the prince of Fulda, in the Lunsu tribe very early, and promised that he would take over the position of the prince after the matter was completed, and he could also leave half of the herdsmen's cattle and sheep he had stolen to him, and his own request was to echo him inside and outside, and kill Fulda with one blow. As a result, the sneak attack went unusually well, and he had lost only a few hundred men in the first battle, so it was more than enough to free up men to lie in the shadows.
"With this, it is impossible for people to defeat you, but it is no problem to protect yourself!" Tegu smacked triumphantly. His timing was just right, and since the other party had already pressed the whole army, the last move on his side could at least make them stop acting rashly. The cultivation of cavalry is undoubtedly the easiest thing for the grassland tribes, in his opinion, as long as the tribes on the grassland that were originally attached to Lingyun and the Dzungar can be of one mind, it will be a peaceful army of hundreds of thousands. If these Han people are eaten today, then the northwest camp will have to suffer a dumb loss, and their own side can even render this as a big victory.
Sure enough, Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng immediately woke up when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the man who had been fighting in front actually left an ambush! Although the arrival of those centaurs can't shake the overall situation, fishing in troubled waters can at least do it. The moment the Chinese army entered the battlefield just now, the battle situation was already a little chaotic, and if someone took the opportunity to slaughter for a while, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Faced with an unexpected enemy, the two began to gather their men and horses at the same time, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves, and the two of them didn't want to win the battle with the remnants of the army.
As a result, the originally bloody battle ended like a farce. Tegu's 3,000 volts were indeed veterans of spoiling the situation, obliquely inserting, detouring, and then straight ahead, which was undoubtedly a nightmare raid for the Breaking Battalion and the Double Moon Battalion trapped in the battle formation. If it weren't for Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng to rectify early, I am afraid that the battle situation would have changed dramatically.
In the battle, the cavalry under the command of Tegu lost more than 3,200 people, but they plundered a large number of horses in the Lunsu department, and even hung the head of the prince of Lunsu on the flagpole to show the public. The first thing that Fulda's brother Loeb did after succeeding to the throne was to abolish the previous alliance with Lingyun and form an alliance with Dzungaria after counting the eight deadly sins of his brother. This result shocked Ling Yun, and when he first arrived at the military department, Feng Wuxian had to face such a chaotic situation.
Feng Wufang paced in annoyance, although he knew that Feng Wufang would definitely have his own countermeasures, but he knew even more that even with Brother Wufang's calculations, he probably didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse to this point. For the steppe tribes who are good at cavalry and archery, the loss of a few thousand cavalry is just a trivial matter, and all the young and strong herdsmen there can ride into battle, but for the northwest military camp, the result of the elite battle is actually fruitless, and it is unacceptable to be any commander.
When he was restless, Xu Chun hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Highness, the Imperial Court is still asking to see you." Seeing that his master's brows were locked, he immediately added softly, "Your Highness, there is also good news, the Immortal has returned safely." ”
Feng Wuxian suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, as if the war in the northwest was suddenly irrelevant. Since he entered this military department, he has not had a day of peace, food, people, and troop deployment in the northwest provinces, Yu Geqi's bastard is basically working against him, and all the affairs of Laoshzi are left to him. Now that he has put aside a matter of his heart, he can finally put his mind here completely.
"Zixu, you go and invite Lord Yu in." Wind Traceless commanded in a deep voice. For the old man in the Imperial Court, he had already dealt with him several times. Now that the war in the northwest is repeated, the Mongolian tribes are naturally ready to move, except for a few tribes who are unswervingly towards Lingyun, other tribes are still waiting. After all, compared with the time when the country was founded, although Lingyun's garrison in the northwest has increased unabated, its strength is much worse than before.
