Chapter 238: The Ambush of the Warats

Altan Khan led the remaining 50,000 Tatar cavalry in the direction of Wolf Mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

His heart was broken. He led 80,000 headquarters iron cavalry and 40,000 Warat troops to attack the thousands of Flying Tiger Army whose firearms were ineffective, but in the end they were defeated and returned. The Warat soldiers were completely lost, and they withdrew from the battlefield and did not know where to go. 80,000 headquarters iron cavalry lost 30,000!

You know, this is still on the premise that the Flying Tiger firearms fail!

A few days ago, he was confident. Let Zhena lead 5,000 men and horses to cut off the Flying Tiger Army's food route. He led the main force of 120,000 to follow closely around the Flying Tiger Army, and when the time came, he would come out of the shadows and annihilate them in one fell swoop!

Alas, it's a pity that the bayonets and leech crossbows of the Flying Tiger Army shattered his illusions. The main force attacking Chen Di was defeated, and Wolf Mountain fell to the enemy again. I'm in a critical situation right now!

On the other side, Chen Di led the main force to rest.

In this offensive and defensive battle with Altan Khan, the Flying Tiger firearms failed. Rao was defeated by Altan Khan, and the Flying Tiger Army still suffered casualties. In total, more than 1,000 people fell under the swords of the Tatars.

Although it was a big victory, Chen Di was not happy at all! You must know that every soldier of the Flying Tiger Army is his heart! Tang Shunzhi once calculated an account for him, a qualified soldier of the Flying Tiger Army, from food to training to ordnance, will cost a total of thousands of taels of silver!

The elite soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, to put it bluntly, are piled up with silver!

Chen Di ordered more than 1,000 corpses to be buried on the grassland.

The remaining soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army stood in front of more than a thousand graves.

A thousand firecrackers raised their firearms to the sky.

Yu Dayou said in a loud voice: "Dead soldiers, the soul is back!" Warning shots! Put! ”

A thousand tigers cast their guns into the sky to pay tribute to the heroic spirits.

After the memorial ceremony, Yu Dayou and Li Chengliang found Chen Di: "Dadu Governor, the Tatar cavalry suddenly retreated, in my opinion, it was the second brother Qi who succeeded!" ”

Chen Di nodded: "It must be so." To be honest, in yesterday's battle, we were already at the end of the crossbow! The leech machine arrows are almost exhausted, and if Altan Khan continues to attack with the remaining 50,000 iron horsemen, it is likely that we will be wiped out! ”

Yu Dayou said: "Indeed! Sometimes this battle is like two people holding their breath. Whoever can hold his last breath will win. ”

Chen Di asked, "Can the brothers' firearms be fired normally?" ”

Yu Dayou replied: "All of them can be launched normally!" It's just that the arrows of the leech crossbow are almost used up. ”

Chen Di said: "It's okay, the tiger gun, grenades, and the Fran machine fast cannon are enough to wipe out Altan Khan's army!" Let the brothers hurry up and make corrections, and tomorrow we will go on the road, attack in the direction of Wolf Mountain, and have a front and back attack with Second Brother Qi's strange soldiers! ”

Yu Dayou said with some concern: "Governor, there is a matter... The army is already running out of food! ”

I really want to sleep with a pillow, and I miss my mother's uncle here. Just when Chen Di, Yu Dayou and others were worried about the military rations, Hu Zongxian's grain transportation team arrived!

Hu Zongxian ordered the soldiers to unload grain and grass, and he himself found Chen Di: "Governor, the lower officials should be damned, and the journey was delayed for a day." ”

Chen Di said: "How can you delay the journey? Having trouble on the way? ”

Hu Zongxian said: "Yes, as soon as we crossed the Juliu River, we encountered 5,000 Tatar cavalry. I ordered the battalion commander Zhao Laogen to lead 300 musketeers to block the attack, and I continued to rush with the remaining 700 men. Zhao Laogen was good, and killed three thousand cavalry at the cost of one hundred and fifty people. The remaining 2,000 Tatar cavalry voluntarily broke away from the battlefield and rushed towards my food convoy。。。。。 It was as if this cavalry had received a death order to intercept our food convoy.

I have seven hundred musketeers in my hand, how can I be afraid of two thousand cavalry that will come at me? So he set up a position and annihilated the cavalry. However, because of this battle, the one-day trip was delayed. Please also ask the Metropolitan Governor to forgive your sins. ”

Chen Di asked, "What about Zhao Laogen?" ”

Hu Zongxian replied: "I sent scouts to find them. They fought three hundred men against five thousand cavalry, and all the ammunition was gone. In the end, Zhao Laogen ordered a counter-charge and repelled the Tatar cavalry. Zhao Laogen is good! Didn't disgrace our Flying Tiger Army. I have ordered him to return to Datongwei with the remaining 150 brothers! ”

Chen Di said: "Very good! Zhao Laogen is worthy of being a Flying Tiger Army officer who has won the third-class Silver Leaf Medal! There was even the courage to use infantry to counter-charge the cavalry with superior numbers! After this battle, he will be given a new medal and a new meritorious field! ”

Chen Di turned his head to Yu Dayou and said, "Order the brothers, hurry up and cook the pot, eat and sleep well, let's march to Wolf Mountain overnight!" ”

The Flying Tiger Army rested for an afternoon, and Chen Di ordered Li Chengliang's cavalry to march in the direction of Wolf Mountain first. He led the remaining five thousand firecrackers and Hu Zongxian's seven hundred firecrackers to follow!

On the other side, Altan Khan marched to a valley with 50,000 Tatar cavalry.

Altan Khan is a steppe lord with a keen sense of smell.

He felt as if there was a murderous motive hidden in that valley!

Altan Khan ordered 5,000 Tatar cavalry to enter the valley first.

As Altan Khan expected! Sure enough, there was an ambush! It's just that it wasn't the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army who ambushed him, but the 10,000 Watts of the Bone Protrusion!

Don't know that if Altan Khan frees his hand, he will definitely not bypass him.

Instead of sitting and waiting, it's better to fight to the death!

His scouts reported that Altan Khan's Tatar cavalry had also suffered a great defeat in battle with the Flying Tigers. At this time, it is the best time to intercept Altan Khan halfway!

The Varat cavalry on both sides of the valley hailed five thousand Tatar cavalry with a rain of arrows, and then they rushed down from both sides of the valley.

Altan Khan was furious: "These damned Warats! Listen to my military orders! All the army is attacking! Kill all the Warats! ”

。。。。。。

This battle between Tatar and Varat lasted a day. It ended in the victory of Altan Khan. All 10,000 of the Varat soldiers were killed, and their leader Bebonebrut died. Altan Khan's side also lost four or five thousand cavalry.

This is really a house leak and even raining!

When he set out on the expedition, Altan Khan was full of confidence with 120,000 horses. But now he only has 45,000 men left!

Altan Khan didn't know that his enemies were far more than the Ming Flying Tiger Army!

The news of the Flying Tiger Army's capture of Wolf Mountain has already reached the ears of Wuliang Habe Khan Chikun!

At the beginning, Lu Bing went to the Wuliang Habe Khan Tent to lobby Chikun to raise troops and attack Tatar from the east.

But when the news of the loss of Wolf Mountain, the holy land of Tatar, reached his ears, he understood that his opportunity had come!

He poured his family wealth and led 20,000 Wuliangha cavalry to rush to Wolf Mountain to reinforce Qi Jiguang's department! It is better to say that it is reinforcements, but it is better to say that it is a stone falling into a well, beating Altan Khan, a water dog!

Lu Bing had promised the Uliangha tribe that after the Tatar was eliminated, the Mongolian steppe would be divided into two, the western steppe would belong to the Flying Tiger Army, and the eastern grassland would belong to the Uliangha tribe. At this time, Wuliang Habe Khan Chikun was full of confidence, this king Khan of the Eastern Mongolian steppe, he was decided!
