In the intelligence of the Qing court, the Wei cavalry was only four or five thousand, and this amount of strength could not pose a threat to the Qing army.

Therefore, the Mongol tribes in the Hetao area must be quite safe, and no one thought that the Wei army would incorporate the Guanning army and expand the horse army to 30,000 people.

Although the Manchu cavalry was still far more than that of the Wei State, and the combat power was quite strong, in the Hetao area, the Manchus did not garrison the Eight Banners.

At this time, the Hetao area was mainly active by Mongolian tribes such as Ordogu and Tumut, and there were about 20,000 adult Zhuangding, but they were not the elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Mongolian herdsmen.

This time, the Wei army dispatched a total of six battalions, about 20,000 horses, divided into three units, two battalions per battalion, and swept the Hetao.

The Guanning army can't take down the Eight Banners, and there is still no problem in dealing with these Mongolian herdsmen.

On the battlefield, the Wei army's guns thundered, "bang bang bang" sounded, and the projectiles roared out, shooting at the Mongolian cavalry at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

The projectile hit them, easily tore off their jackets, raised clouds of blood mist, and the horse army that rushed to the front fell in response, and the war horse rose into the air, shook off the cavalry, and smashed heavily on the ground, the cavalry rolled, the war horse screamed, and a piece of yellow dust was raised.

In an instant, more than half of the more than 100 cavalrymen who were responsible for luring the Wei army to release their guns fell before the cavalry of the brigade.

However, the cavalry behind did not feel any easier because of this, the second row of the Wei army opened fire, and the Mongolian cavalry continued to fall from their horses.

The Phosphine who was watching the battle in the back, as well as Babu and the others, were already stunned.

In the past wars, in the face of the Ming Dynasty infantry in formation, when the Mongolian cavalry attacked, they would send more than 100 cavalry to the cavalry, and when they rushed to the advance army line in front of the cavalry of more than 100 people, the infantry army would be nervous, and the fire guns would start to go off the fire, and all the fire guns would be shot at one time.

In this way, the cavalry in front deceived most of the firearms in the infantry formation, and when the cavalry behind rushed up, most of the firearms were still reloading, giving them the opportunity to cover the infantry with a rain of arrows.

But today they met a well-trained Wei army, and the guns were fired in turns, and there would never be a problem of killing all the guns at once.

After the Wei army finished firing a row of guns, the guns moved in unison, retreated with guns, hurriedly poured medicine and refilled, and the soldiers in the back row carried their guns forward, and the Wei soldiers faced the formation of thousands of cavalry troops, they did not panic, stuck to their posts, and were loyal to their duties, which can be said to be an elite division.

Wei Jun raised his self-made fire gun in his hand, raised his gun to aim, and shot a sharp light in his eyes.

"Bang bang bang" thousands of guns fired together, and the air waves brought up by the projectiles were like a strong wind blowing through the Mongolian horse army, and the cavalry was shot and fell from the horse.

Before the Mongol horse army could approach the Wei line, they suffered heavy casualties, and fell from their horses one after another sixty or seventy paces away.

Where is this mounted archery attack and disturbance, it is clearly no different from sending it to death.

The Mongolian horse army galloped in the smoke of gunpowder, paid great casualties, and finally approached within 30 steps of the Wei army's front.

A Mongolian cavalryman, who released an arrow, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hurriedly pulled the reins of his horse, and wanted to break away quickly, but there was a bang behind him, and the projectile hit his back, raising a cloud of blood mist, and the war horse galloped, but his body fell down and hit the ground heavily.

Although the relationship between Mobei Mongolia and Monan Mongolia was not harmonious, Babu couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded in a deep voice: "Lord, I think it's better to forget it!" ”

Never mind? These words stung the forehead, what do you mean? Are you looking down on the warriors of my Ordos Division?

However, with the facts in front of him, Er Phosphorus had to admit that the armor-breaking distance of the cavalry bow in the Mongolian light cavalry was about thirty paces, while the opponent's artillery hit a few miles, and the fire gun broke through the armor at seventy paces, in addition to rockets and earth-shattering thunder, not to mention.

The Mongol light cavalry rushed over, took a cannon shot, and retreated to take another cannon shot, and their goal was only to rush to within thirty paces and shoot a feather arrow, which was not a chaotic formation at all, not at all to show the Mongolian cavalry and archery skills, but to use the Wei army as a target.

If this continues, I am afraid that the Wei army's front will not be disturbed by the cavalry, but the Mongolian cavalry responsible for the cavalry attack will die.

Phosphine was heartbroken, "Why doesn't the experience left by the ancestors work? ”

Seeing that the two wings and the front could not bargain, the Mongolian cavalry had no way to take the Wei army, and continued to grind, the Wei army was not consumed, but the Mongolian cavalry was about to be sharpened into needles.

If the opponent is an infantry army, the Mongol cavalry can also wait for an opportunity outside the range of the cannons, waiting for the Wei army to retreat, and when the formation is chaotic, the cavalry is launching a surprise attack.

However, the other side was all cavalry, and the infantry army also had war horses to ride, plus there were artillery to stabilize the position, and the Mongolian cavalry had no chance at all.

He couldn't help but sigh and ordered in a deep voice, "Order, the whole army retreats!" ”

The sound of the horn rose to the sky, and the Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield immediately heard the sound, immediately moved, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield with superb riding skills.

Ma Bao raised his sword and suddenly roared, "Kill!" ”

This time, the Wei army did not continue to shrink within the range of the artillery, but pursued the Mongol light cavalry.

As soon as he pulled out the reins of his horse, he looked at the Mongolian cavalry retreating in the wilderness, as well as the Wei army and horse army chasing behind, his heart was bitter, and he chased after him, just to throw hundreds of corpses, to hit his head and break blood.

"Lord Wang, let's go!" A little chief reminded.

Only then did he glance at the battlefield hatefully, and rode away north.

The Wei army pursued for a while, and the Mongolian light cavalry quickly distanced itself from the Wei army by virtue of its speed.

When Ma Bao found that the Mongolian light cavalry deliberately kept a distance, and from time to time turned around and shot the Wei army off his horse with an arrow, Ma Bao immediately reined in the horse, waved his hand and shouted, "Stop the pursuit!" ”

The Mongolian light horseman, who had just flown a few arrows of kites, did not stop, and rode away stupidly.

The land of the Hetao is very wide, the land is sparsely populated, even if you gallop on horseback, you often can't find a tribe in a morning.

Two days later, a frustrated Eb Phochen led the cavalry across the Yellow River and returned to the king's tent at the foot of Yin Mountain.

At this time, Babu, who was accompanying him, reined in the reins of his horse, and suddenly said to Ephochen: "Lord, we will leave here!" ”

Phosphine's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What about sending troops?" ”

Babu's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "Let's talk about this again!" I'll have to consult with my father Khan before I decide! ”

Tushetu Khan's son, Chahun Dorji, also said: "If the prince can persuade the Qing Dynasty to increase troops, our Tushetu Department will respond to the south, but if there are only three of us, I'm afraid it will take a while to prepare." ”

Out of fear of the military might of the Qing army, the three divisions of Mobei did not explicitly refuse, but the meaning is self-evident, that is, they don't want to muddy the waters.

After Babu and the others finished speaking, he put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly, then pulled the reins of his horse and headed north, raising a cloud of yellow dust.

Seeing this, he could only go back to the king's tent first, and then report the matter to Dol, so he urged the horse to continue to move forward, but the Mongolian horse army suddenly found that something was wrong, and when he was close to the king's tent, there was not a single herdsman, and he hardly saw a single figure, which made him frown.

At this time, Er Phochen galloped for more than ten miles, and he was depressed in his heart, and a gust of mountain wind blew in front of him, but it made Er Phochen suddenly frown.

"The smell of blood?" Phosphine's nose moved, and his face changed instantly.

At this time, a cavalryman galloped against the team, flew off his horse, and ran over with a rolling belt, and said in horror: "Lord Wang, the tribe has been ransacked!" ”

He was the first to rush into the camp, and he saw that the ground was dyed red, and the headless corpses were piled up in the middle of the camp, like a hill.

The Mongolian man who entered the camp instantly became furious, but Ephochen was not angry, his face turned pale in an instant, and he fell from his horse.
