Chapter 181: The first battle is a decisive battle
After Iron Hand reported the situation, Rarity looked at Yang Tingjian uneasily, and Iron Hand was afraid that Yang Tingjian would punish him! This loss is Yang Tingjian's personal guards, and they will all be sent to the Huben Military Academy to study in the future, and after graduating from the Huben Military Academy, they are all middle-level officers, but they buried more than half of the guards personally selected by Yang Tingjian in one battle.
"Yes, Brother Iron Hand, you have done the best, and you have to give the first credit...... Go down and rest first. ”
"Obedience." This made Tie Shou admire Yang Tingjian's open-mindedness.
Thousands of cavalry quickly stopped, and the team was able to stop so quickly, not because Yang Tingjian trained the discipline of these Mongols very well, but because walkie-talkies played a huge role, and this battlefield communication was too important.
As the commander of the Mongolian cavalry brigade, Gelong has always stood with Yang Tingjian, and the habits of the two of them are basically the same, and they always choose to charge with the soldiers when it is time to fight. In ancient times, the main general and the soldiers charged together, which was the most morale-inspiring, but the premise was that the main general could not die in battle, otherwise the whole army would collapse.
"My lord, there are more than 1,000 Jiannu in front, shall we fight?"
"Of course it did...... Let the troops advance slowly...... The first battle is a decisive battle, and we will annihilate all these arrogant Jiannu this time. ”
After a while, Yang Tingjian came to the opposite side of Mang Gurtai, Yang Tingjian hurriedly took out a telescope to carefully observe the Jiannu in front of him, the team of more than 1,000 Jiannu was neat, the morale was high, and the armor was distinct, these Jiannu were rare elite soldiers.
But Yang Tingjian found a detail, that is, the white mist exhaled by the war horses under the crotch of these Jiannu, and there was white saliva on the corners of the war horses' mouths, which was only possible when the war horses ran for a long time, Yang Tingjian couldn't help but secretly scream:
"Okay, these Jiannu are dead...... Grung. Look at the war horse under Jiannu's crotch, it has already run and foamed at the mouth. ”
"Yes, these Jiannu have been running fast for at least three hours or more."
Mang Gurtai didn't attack, he was resting the war horse under his crotch, he was too careless, he didn't expect that there were so many Ming dog cavalry in Tongzhou. At this time, Mang Gurtai deeply understood the importance of the eight traitors providing them with information.
Regret, for Mang Gurtai, it was already too late. When these bright dogs came to the front of the battle, Mang Gurtai found that there were more than 5,000 Mongolian cavalry in front of him, and Gelong's general Qi Mang Gurtai also knew him.
Mang Gurtai and Gelong have fought several times, although the final victories are all Mang Gurtai, but Mang Gurtai knows that the Mongolian cavalry under his command are all brave warriors, and the cavalry is no worse than the Manchurian warriors. The Mongol cavalry was poor in weapons and armor, and even their bows and arrows were made of animal bones.
Of course, the Mongolian cavalry equipped in this way was no match for the Jiannu cavalry, but now it was different, these Mongolian cavalry were actually wearing what kind of strange plate armor, and in their hands were all long halberds.
The halberd is one of the ancient weapons and occupies an important position in the eighteen kinds of martial arts. Its appearance has the characteristics of both a ge and a spear (the single halberd resembles the Chinese character "Bian", and the painted halberd resembles the Chinese character "爿"). Its parry function is also a combination of Ge and spear, which can stab directly. It can also strike horizontally, and strive to pitch. It has the advantage of five soldiers.
Halberds generally do not do dancing flowers, to chop, stab, hook, piece, probe, hang, knock, shovel, back chop, horizontal stab. Split stabs, oblique strangles, horizontal slashes, cuts, etc., flat hooks. Nail the wall, flip the stab, hit through, pick the attack, straight slash and so on are the main moves.
Mang Gurtai also used the monoculars in his hand to carefully examine the other weapons of these Mongol cavalry, their bows and arrows were all recurve bows, and there was also an embroidered spring knife. What worries Mang Gurtai the most is that these Mongolian cavalry are wearing strange plate armor that can't be cut through with a knife.
After seeing the weapons and equipment of the Mongolian cavalry, Mang Gurtai suddenly fell into an ice cave, once the Mongolian cavalry was fully armed, its combat effectiveness would definitely not be worse than that of the Manchurian warriors.
Why didn't these Mongol cavalrymen be armed with five-eyed guns! This is a big killing weapon of the Han people, how could Yang Tingjian equip the Mongolian cavalry on a large scale, if these Mongolian cavalry are equipped with a large number of five-eyed guns, what can Yang Tingjian do to restrain them?
It can be said that Yang Tingjian has no other means to control these Mongols, in a word, the Mongols can't master firearms, they are just playing with cold weapons, even such strong armor as plate armor, Yang Tingjian did not hesitate to take the lead in equipping them, but this firearm, Yang Tingjian did not give them equipment.
Besides, the quality of the Mongols' recurve bow is really good, the direct shooting distance is one hundred and two meters, the throwing distance is one hundred and eighty meters, and the rate of fire of the bow and arrow is extremely fast, but it is limited by the body, and it is out of strength to shoot more than a dozen arrows in a row, but the cavalry hedges, and there are only three shots against the enemy, so Yang Tingjian let them continue to use their recurve bow, and the arrows are whatever they want.
Yang Tingjian expected that the Jiannu on the opposite side was dragging out time to rest, they would definitely not take the lead in attacking, Yang Tingjian couldn't give them time, and he had to launch a thunderous blow immediately.
"If you don't close the night, immediately investigate the situation in the surrounding thirty miles."
Yang Tingjian rested before the decisive battle, and still did not forget to send his own night to see if there were any other Jiannu around, if he was fighting, and suddenly a stream of Jiannu appeared behind Yang Tingjian's ass, then the fun would be great.
Yang Tingjian's crotch under the war horse Ben Lei was also infected by the atmosphere before the war, he kept digging the ground with the horse's hooves, and his mouth was "fluttering" and snorting, Yang Tingjian had already held the Mo knife in his hand, and then raised it high and shouted:
"The whole army is ready...... Kill ......"
Mo knife slashed from the air, Yang Tingjian clamped the thunder under the crotch, Ben Lei immediately spread his hooves and charged, the entire Mongolian cavalry also followed Yang Tingjian to start the assault, the two armies met, the brave wins.
The five big and three thick Gelong, still holding his heavy mace, he is also neck and neck with Yang Tingjian, behind them is thousands of cavalry troops, more than 5,000 cavalry are all put into the attack at one time, Yang Tingjian is this character, the first battle is a decisive battle, Yang Tingjian will definitely not give the opposite Jiannu the slightest chance.
The sound of horses' hooves was loud and clear, and the Mongols used to call "wah-wah" when charging, which was also a way to release their feelings.
When Yang Tingjian rushed to a kilometer away from Jiannu, Jiannu on the opposite side also began to charge, both sides used spurs on their shoes to speed up the war horses under their crotches, and both sides raised their spears in their hands and began to charge.
The fastest way for cavalry to charge frontally to kill the enemy is not to do any fancy movements, use the horse speed to directly stab the enemy off the horse with the spear in his hand, and chop each other to deal with the enemy on the side.
Yang Tingjian and Gelong were at the front of the team, but Mang Gurtai was not in front of the team, and at the back of the team, you don't have to think about it to know that Mang Gurtai already knew that there was no hope of victory in the battlefield battle, but he couldn't run away, and he couldn't run away, and he left his back to these Mongolian cavalry, so he put the Chinese army last.
