Chapter 428: The Mongol Cavalry Who Entered the Trap
"Okay, don't say more, I'll only reveal one thing, our whole two cavalry brigades have been on guard in the east and south, there are six infantry battalions in the north to respond, and behind our team in the west, there are two cavalry battalions of the Shenwu Army and our Tiger Wing Army, this time there are eighteen battalions on the periphery, and two battalions in our town are holding the camp, striving to annihilate all the Mongol Tartars in one fell swoop. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Zheng Jianjun has reason to believe that his army is enough to wipe everything down, as long as the Mongols dare to come......
"The Mongolian Tatar cavalry is coming~ The Mongolian Tatar cavalry is coming~!"
Early in the morning, the people in the camp were surprised to find that the capital, who had just left the camp for less than half an hour, actually ran back with the people under his command, and their grain carts and livestock were lost without a trace, and they shouted that the Mongolian Tartars had arrived, which immediately surprised them.
"Don't mess up, now according to the rectification of all armies, obey orders, every citizen gathers and stays in the camp, whoever dares to act recklessly, there will be no mercy." But soon the soldiers of the Qin army with weapons appeared everywhere and separated them one by one, and the temporary captains of the various people's teams were also called to the Qin army to discuss things.
It was Li Min under the rule of the Qin army, these people didn't dare to have extra words, and obediently followed the soldiers of the Qin army to the middle part of the camp one by one, fortunately, although the camp was not big, it was built according to the scale of a brigade at that time, and this time more than 13,000 people were squeezed in, which was a little crowded, but this crowding was for people, at least now they stay quietly together and squat, there is no big problem.
"Do you understand it now? There are already tens of thousands of main forces on our periphery rushing up, as long as we hold on here until dusk today, we can fight back, everyone cheers me up, if anyone is strained at a critical moment, don't blame the knife in my hand for not recognizing people! Zheng Jianjun spoke loudly to all the generals present at the level and above, and then quickly began to assign the tasks that had been agreed upon.
"The main force of the second battalion is four, give me reinforcement to the four wooden walls of the camp, and prepare the direction of the capital, I will additionally arrange for the fifth battalion to prepare for the top, and the second of the fifth battalion will mobilize the people in the camp, receive lead bullets and civil engineering masonry, and all the buildings in the camp will be dismantled to resist the attack of the Mongolian cavalry, and your third will be deployed in the northeast to reinforce the two earthen walls at any time!"
Zhang Huichang of the second battalion and Cao Xinglai of the fifth battalion immediately got up to receive the order, and then listened to Zheng Jianjun continue to command, "The first of the fifth battalion has strengthened two platoons of my personal guards, arranged in the southwest direction, reinforced to the west and south, and I will take the remaining more than 200 people and horses of the personal guards to sit in the battalion to coordinate and command, in addition, Cao Xinglai, you immediately start arranging to find out the people in the people's team who have experienced the training of the Tuntian battalion, this time I brought spears and sabers that can arm a thousand people, and distributed them. These centaurs are our last reserves. ”
"Whoa!" Cao Xinglai estimated a little that the battle was all fought by the second battalion, but his own battalion was used as a reinforcement, but at this moment it was a military order, and there was no way to bargain, after all, the second battalion was more elite than his own troops, although he could only passively take orders and order the men and horses.
"Pull up the eight-door tiger squat cannon that the army carried with me, fix it on the earthen wall, all the armies are ready at any time, be careful that the Mongol Tatars directly attack the camp, and those grain trucks are protected for me, don't let the Mongols find the flaws, otherwise I'm worried that they will find out that it is a trap and run away!" Alright, let's all go down and get ready to go. After Zheng Jianjun gave all the instructions, he took his sword in his hand and sat down in the main tent, but he was not worried at all.
Not only is the elite of more than 3,000 people in hand, no matter how bad it is, it can hold on to help, not to mention that there are more than 10,000 young and strong people, arming them at a critical moment can also delay time, not to mention that the outer eighteen main battalions are approaching with an army of nearly 30,000, this is the size of almost a town for each of the three armies, if you can't eat the main force of the Mongolian cavalry going south, then what kind of battle will you fight!
……
"Taiji, we sent it, these are all high-quality white rice and white noodles with white flowers, outside the Saiwai, such a stone of grain can be sold for seven taels of silver!" Ulaanbari, the commander who first led the troops to attack the grain team, excitedly took a knife to open a pocket, and the gratifying white grain was suddenly revealed inside.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that your soldiers and horses weren't well hidden, how could we suddenly be exposed? Now you see, this is only one or two hundred carts of grain, according to them, it is only a thousand stones, and now you scare the Qin army back into the camp that can be defended, how much price do we have to pay to break through their camp? "The other commander Gegen, who didn't grab the first merit, was so jealous that he was going crazy, because whoever grabbed it first would have a great merit and would be able to get the richest share of the subsequent distribution of loot.
"What are you afraid of, this time there are 50,000 stone military rations waiting for us to grab, immortal God bless, with this batch of grain, we will be able to survive the winter safely." Halbara was equally excited, after all, this grain was too important to them.
"Now, leave a centurion to guard the grain, and the rest of the people will follow me to the Qin army camp, they only have more than 1,000 people to guard, and we have 15,000 people here, pass my order, attack the Qin army camp, and grab the grain~!"
Under the order of Halbara, the main force of more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry rushing to the south in a straight line from west to east began to attack the Qin army camp five miles away from them to the west.
"Kill~!" In the eyes of the dazed Mongolian cavalry, there were only the occasional exposed grain carts, and they didn't care about the Qin soldiers who were already waiting for them on the camp, in their eyes, the huge strength advantage of ten times that of the enemy was enough to crush everything.
The tragic battle was doomed to fate at the beginning, the soldiers of the Qin army who had been prepared for a long time set up thousands of horses and traps outside the camp, and the first wave of attack of the thousand troops led by Ulan Bari was suddenly hit, and then one was arranged by the east gate to put a row of guns, this time the losses were suddenly heavy, but unfortunately they had been dizzy, mistakenly thinking that this was the last resistance of the Qin army, and they simply continued to attack regardless of it.
The other Mongol troops who arrived later looked at the defenders of the Qin army, who were only three or four hundred people on the earthen wall, and immediately felt extremely disdainful in their hearts, any of them had more troops than this, and they didn't even need to use the main force to step over directly.
"Taiji, you don't even have to fight, let's attack directly with fire, anyway, the southern barbarians used to use this trick often." A Mongolian commander is not stupid, looking at these Qin troops Although they have few troops, they are all wearing armor, and they are not easy to provoke at a glance.
Moreover, the Mongol cavalry dispatched, as long as they were willing to spend a little time, they could boil out a lot of fat, and as long as they fired fiercely with bows and arrows, they could set the entire camp on fire.
"No, it's full of military rations, once it burns, then even if we break this camp, what will it do?" Harbara looked at this commander like a fool, and then waved his horsewhip directly in the air, pointed to the earthen wall guarded by the Qin army and said, "Immortal God bless, they only have a few hundred people, and we have more than 10,000 people, are there any warriors willing to climb the wall for me first?" Seal the centurion, reward thirty cattle and sheep! ”
"Yes!" Hearing this encouraging words, the cavalry that could be reached behind him shouted out of the ranks, and then after a simple formation, the four camps launched a tentative attack almost simultaneously outside the gate, the Mongolian cavalry first tried to pull the horses outside the gate with ropes, but they were exposed to the range of the Qin army's fire, and they were all under the loading of the people, and one of them fought fiercely with two firearms.
After all, the Mongolian Tartars are flesh and blood, where can they withstand this, they lost dozens of corpses in a hurry, and they suddenly didn't dare to be on it.
"Come, you cowards, take down and flog those who run away first, and continue to send our cavalry up, this time with bows and arrows to suppress their firearms, and then the others dismount and clear the way for our brave cavalry to charge!" Seeing that he had an absolute advantage and was still fighting like this, the commander behind him immediately came up angrily and began to command.
In this way, outside the gates of the four camps, thousands of Mongol archers began to line up and prepare for battle.
"The men without armor went down to the wall, and hurriedly guarded them with wooden and iron shields, and fired their guns at them through the gaps." The generals of the Qin army on the earthen wall began to dismiss the people step by step according to the predetermined plan, after all, they have no protective power, and they will definitely suffer heavy casualties under the blow of the bow and arrow, and the Qin army soldiers who have full body armor protection and additional shields are not afraid of the light arrows of the Mongols at all, and they may still be worried about armor piercing if they are replaced by the heavy arrows of the two hundred years of Mongolian iron cavalry, but now, this itchy shooting, who will worry?
"Call me!" As soon as the Mongolian Tartar archers came up, the generals of the Qin army of each gate suddenly roared, and the already loaded guns suddenly fired, and when they fought for this while, one of every two people stepped back and reloaded, and by the way, handed the other two firearms with good lead bullets and iron bullets to the other person, anyway, they hid in the turtle shell, and they were not afraid of the occasional arrows that came in, this advantage made them carry out a fierce counterattack in an orderly manner......
