Chapter 507: It turns out that the enemy on the other side is also a paper tiger!
Rava tactics are similar to the pocket tactics of the Han Chinese, and they were one of the fifteen tactics of Genghis Method. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Zhu Zilong has recently made up for his knowledge of the Mongolian people, and as soon as he heard these words, he knew this tactic in his heart. Of course, in terms of details, it is certainly not as detailed as the Mongols themselves know.
The nomadic Hu people on the steppe are best at luring the enemy to ambush, called the Rava tactic, at the beginning of using the two wings of the advance team to lure the enemy, after luring their main assembly area, they will attack head-on, and then outflank them on both wings or rear, which is very easy to win.
Later, this tactic "was adopted by the Russian Cossack cavalry, and in successive battles, it achieved outstanding results and made a brilliant reputation".
Zhu Zilong stepped forward and said to Shatu: "Shatu Taiji, what do you think, are these sāo disturbing Ertars the base camp nearby?" Seeing that they don't have much horse material, do we also send a horse to explore it later? ”
Shatu stroked Zhu Zilong's chest and said, "Messenger of Immortal Heaven...... Judging by the number of horses of the barbarians, it is not certain that their camp is nearby. The grain and grass brought by a horse can be eaten for at least ten days, half a month, or even a month. ”
Hearing Shatu say this, Zhu Zilong touched his chin and thought: "The matter of the grassland, sure enough, these Tartars and the Mongols know better. ”
Without waiting for Zhu Zilong to think about it, Shatu said again: "They also have a lot of horses, it seems that one person has three horses, so naturally the scope of this run, if you want to judge, it is too big......"
Well, there's nothing to reason about at this point.
Zhu Zilong rubbed his face, and could only watch Shatu and his party camp and defend on the spot. Luckily, the water and grass are abundant nearby, and it is also a good camping place!
However, it was not yet dark.
The enemy has appeared!
These enemy horsemen come from a complex source, and they are dressed in different armor and costumes, or they wear bowls, hats, and leather robes, with collars and buckles, and they are dressed in full style, or they have willow leaf armor, Luo ring armor, and hat and helmet. Apparently a ragtag mix of troops!
They did not attack immediately, but gathered more and more, and strange whistling came and went, and they did not gather densely, but in twos and threes, far or near, and strange whistles sounded from time to time.
Shatu let a group of elites rush somewhere, and they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and then at some point, they gathered together in twos and threes.
This situation made Shatu's face change greatly, and Zhu Zilong also understood it.
This is another tactic that the enemy is using back then, Genghis Khan's tactic, the Raven Soldier Scattering Star Array!
The Raven Soldiers Scatter the Stars. This array is used when engaging an enemy in motion. "Whenever the enemy is in formation, it will be three, three, five, four-five, and four-five, and it will never gather in clusters and be surrounded by the enemy,... The enemy is separated, and the enemy is united, so the riding gallop is also far or near, more or less, gathering or scattering, or out or not, coming like falling from the sky, going like lightning"!
This is a very flexible tactic, when moving to engage the enemy, three, three, five, five and five cover each other, will not let the enemy encircle and annihilate, similar to the current battle group.
Giving full play to the advantages of the cavalry's rapid mobility and broad vision, and taking advantage of the enemy's momentum ahead of the enemy's changes in the face of changes in the enemy, the grass-roots commanders at all levels commanded the battle with horsewhips and treacherous voices, and the advance and retreat were very timely.
It can give people the illusion that there are faintly hundreds of horses surrounding and can wrap thousands of people, and thousands of horses can be worth a hundred miles.
"Allah ......"
"Oh, Rollo Rollo ......"
Soon, the enemy cavalry began to rush towards the phalanx on the side of Shatu, and ran around to threaten it. Strange screams in the mouth!
Behind the hills, in the valleys, in the woods, there were all their men and horses, and even on the other side of the river, there were a group of cavalry rushing, and the hooves of the horses stepped on the river, making a loud noise.
While galloping, he also screamed loudly, trying to put strong mental pressure on Shatu. Cause it to go wrong!
It's a pity that Shatu Taiji, because more than half of the team is a royal family of women and children, can't fight back with the same tactics at all. Otherwise, family members may fall into the hands of the enemy and become a mouse-throwing device, which can only be a passive defense!
It's just that this Raven Soldier Star Array must have a unified command. Only then can it exert 100% effect!
These enemy horses in front of them were obviously temporarily mixed together, and they could still exert a lot of power at the beginning, but slowly some flaws appeared.
Therefore, it is obviously not enough to use such tactics to scare Shatu and others, who are also Mongolians and are also royalty.
It was the first time Zhu Zilong had seen this kind of Mongol tactics, and when he saw that there was quite a lot of dust in the distance, it seemed that more Mongol enemies were coming, and the strange screams were overwhelming, and he frowned and said: "Is it possible that the enemy can't dispatch ten thousand horsemen?" ”
Tianyan farsightedness is extraordinary, but the sand and dust are too thick, like a small sandstorm surging among the horses in the distance. It's impossible to see 100% clearly, and it's good to be able to see about half of the number of people.
Facing Zhu Zilong's suspicions, Shatu shook his head and said: "The envoy doesn't need to be suspicious, in my experience, they shouldn't have so much, it seems that it is the suspicious plan of the two Tartars." ”
A confidant general of Shatu also stepped forward to explain: "Yes, this is a tactic of our Mongols, and there must be some barbarians on that side who are dragging branches and running around...... The real strength is probably about three or four thousand at most. ”
Three or four thousand is not to be underestimated? There are only more than 1,000 people on the side, and most of them are family members.
seemed to see Zhu Zilong's worry, and suddenly, Shatu's daughter came over with a veil, and after saluting Shatu and Zhu Zilong, she said: "Seeing that he has not attacked for a long time, there is another hypothesis. The people riding horses on the opposite side are not necessarily men, maybe there are women and children on the horses, and even some straw men are set up to create the illusion that there are many people...... Their total number will not exceed two thousand ......"
Shatu's daughter really woke up the dreamer with a word, and Shatu and Zhu Zilong and others suddenly realized. It turned out that there was also a paper tiger on the other side, and I was not sure to launch a general attack and win!
Zhu Zilong even thought to himself: "This Northern Tartar is still different from the Manchurian Tartar." I prefer to use the strategy of confusing the enemy, it is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. The Mongols, who were the best at attacking and defending back then, now only have the enemy's tricks left, which is also ironic! ”
found out the truth about the enemy's situation, in fact, there were also very few soldiers, and most of them were logistics personnel pretending to be soldiers and confusing the water.
Shatu Taiji ordered to be ready on the spot, but the arrows were just pointed, but they were not allowed to shoot casually. The formation must not be messed up!
Finally, when Shatu was so calm that people felt panicked, it also made many enemy rangers feel. I was like a clown, although I performed hard, but the audience did not react. It seems that the tactics have failed!
However, it is obviously faceless to leave in such a gray manner. So, some of the enemy riders thought, can we get closer?
In the current situation, only by rushing closer can Shatu and his party have some accidents.
So, a group of about 500 enemy horsemen approached in a circle.
The first round of arrow rain was the first to strike, but it didn't come to an end, so that the transparent shield (the modern explosion-proof police shield given by Zhu Zilong) that Shatu's soldiers suddenly raised was blocked.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the enemy had entered within 50 meters and brushed it. Shatu's subordinates, who had already practiced smoothly, took out the continuous fire force given by Zhu Zilong before and fired at a high speed.
In the next minute, two or three hundred elite soldiers of Shatu, each with more than 20 strong arrows, opened fire in a very short time.
All of a sudden, nearly a thousand arrows formed a rain of small arrows, and they were fired in bursts, which made people unguardable.
On the spot, many war horses on the opposite side neighed, and more than a hundred enemy rangers fell off their horses directly howling and rolling all over the ground. And more of them, their horses, also covered in blood holes and arrows, neighed and fled or fell, and the picture was terrible.
