Chapter 430: The Most Primitive Armored Cavalry, Are You Afraid?
"Hmph, people like you don't take the lives of soldiers to heart, you must know that the life of every Mongolian warrior is extremely expensive, do you want us to kill all here?" A commander who was very disgusted with his words strode up and retorted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Humph! I think you're a coward, you're making excuses for your cowardice and preparing to run away, we're blessed by the Immortal Heaven, every warrior is worth dying, Taiji, don't hesitate, let's keep attacking. Although Ulaanbari felt sorry for the loss of his tribe, he had to fight to the death.
If the other thousand troops do not continue to fight, then this move to the south will be a complete failure, and the Mongolian cavalry who cannot get food will definitely complain, and the superiors will also be held accountable afterwards, then he will bear the brunt of the battle, because he is the one who strongly asks for a decisive battle in the south.
"I didn't say that we wouldn't continue to fight, but we have to change the way, we can't just ask our warriors to die, so let's do it, all the commanders are here, let's think of a good way together, how to continue the attack without losing the lives of so many warriors." Halbara would not back down either, because the first one to be questioned was Ulaanbari, but the second was him as the commander of the army.
Don't look at the military rations that have been captured now with 1,000 stones, but what is enough for this little food? A full 15,000 people went south, and 300 were killed and wounded in the battle, this responsibility is unwilling to be borne by him in any case, unless he grabs all the 50,000 stone military rations of the Qin army, so that he may be rewarded, for the sake of 50,000 stone military rations, even one or two thousand dead and wounded are worth it.
"The Qin army is nothing more than relying on their firearms and artillery, if we can find a way to offset this part of the damage, then we can have a big advantage." A commander summed up the experience of the battlefield and said quickly.
"Yes, and the armor they wear is much better than our animal skin armor, I saw with my own eyes that the sharpshooter below shot directly into the armor of a Qin army general with a bow and arrow, but unfortunately, he didn't suffer any damage at all, Taiji, we lack the necessary armor-piercing heavy arrows, what should we do?" Commander Gegen is by no means a reckless person, and it is precisely because he has seen and understood a lot that he is afraid of the Qin army.
This battle is not easy to fight, but as he spoke, he inevitably led the spearhead to Ulan Bari, "If you hadn't insisted on attacking the front team of the Qin army, they would all have come out of the camp, and when we launched a surprise attack in the field, I'm afraid we would have already gotten all the military rations by now." ā
"What is me? Their scouts spotted us more than a dozen miles to the north, and if it weren't for the fact that I had the opportunity to attack first, and I couldn't even catch their front team, wouldn't you have noticed that they were already preparing to run back? Ulaanbari was unwilling to bear such a charge of delaying the fighter, so he immediately retorted loudly.
"Hmph, what they found was only our small vanguard force, it was your greed for merit that caused all this, their rear team was setting off one after another, but they were frightened by your team, and they all ran to the camp that they could hold, isn't this your guilt? You must be held accountable for the loss of our warriors! "Gegen is also not giving an inch,
But what he didn't know, even if Ulan Bari didn't launch an attack in advance, the Qin army's large grain transport team would not set off, after all, they had long been prepared to hold on with the help of the camp tent, if the Mongolian cavalry did not come, they would inevitably send people to the north to monitor one after another, anyway, the army food was here, and they were not afraid that the Mongols would not be fooled.
"I've lost a hundred, who's going to be responsible for them?" Ulan Bari said angrily, the suppressed anger in his heart made him almost crazy, people's hearts are like this, if you don't get it, it's okay, but now, the military rations are in the camp, and their strength is much stronger than the Qin army, but it's just such a kick in the door, the loss is too great, and they are also angry.
"Your losses are caused by your stupid command, and because you caused all this, you must give us an account!"
"That is, don't think that your words can offset your guilt, the 1,000 stone military rations you captured can't just be handed over to you for distribution, this should belong to all Mongolian warriors, and because of your recklessness, the Qin army has enough time to escape to the camp, so in the distribution afterwards, your share must be reduced, so that it is fair to others."
Almost all the commanders got up and began to besiege Ulaanbari, not only because of his recklessness, but also because this batch of military rations is extremely important for any tribe, after all, the Han Department is not a complete whole, Lin Dan Khan is only the nominal Great Khan of Mongolia, with 30,000 households on the left and right wings, and each Taiji and the commander actually have their own small tribes.
Now they must choose to exclude Ulaanba Day for their own interests, after all, one less person to divide these military rations, they can share more, and when the subsequent cold winter comes, they will have more confidence and retain more vitality.
"That's it! Don't quarrel, now is not the time to quarrel, who will think of a way to let the firearms and artillery of the Qin army not continue to kill and hurt our warriors. "Halbara knew that he had to come out and speak a fair word for Ulaanbari, because behind him was the commander of 30,000 households, and his strength was stronger than his own Taiji, who had 5,000 households, and Ulaanbari was not avoiding war, so what qualification did he have to cancel the other party's share.
"According to my meaning, we can directly take the livestock and slaughter it, boil the oil and attack it with fire, and we can quickly kill it once in it." A commander was really frightened by the firearms of the Qin army, after all, this kind of thing that is more powerful than a bow and arrow cannot be stopped by manpower.
"No, if we attack with fire, once it burns, so much military rations, and there is only a stream nearby, there will simply not be enough to extinguish the fire, and once all the military rations are burned, then our purpose of going south will all fail." Halbara is absolutely unwilling to let the military rations be burned with it, and once the fire is attacked, the Qin army will have enough time to prepare, and even they will light the same fire in the camp, then they will want to cry without tears.
"Actually, I took a look, it seems that the penetration of the firearms of the Qin army is much stronger than that of the ordinary Ming army, and their speed is also very fast, but fortunately, their number is relatively small, and they can only attack some of us, the most hateful thing is their artillery, every attack can take the lives of many of us, if we can, we must find a way to stop their artillery from killing." The wise man did not care about the quarrel in the big tent, but chose to meditate.
"So do you have any good ideas?" Halbara hurriedly asked.
"Didn't we get a lot of Qin Army grain trucks? Find some cloth that is no longer used, put it on the soil and put it in front to block it, I remember that the Ming army's chariot team did the same in the past, so that it could effectively resist our bow and arrow shooting, so why didn't we do this? "The wise man remembered that when he fought with the Ming army before,
Those Ming soldiers who did not have armor to protect them used wooden chariots that could be pushed and walked, piled up earth, stone and sand, and then carried firearms and artillery to fight them in a field battle, as a result, the Mongols' bows and arrows were all shot on the chariots, and the Ming soldiers were unharmed, and it was this that inspired him, that is, why couldn't the Mongols do this? As long as they could rush around the camp, they could quickly smash down the earthen wall, and the Qin artillery would be useless.
"Yes, we just need to get close to them, then charge, and climb directly to the earthen wall to fight them." Ulan Bari said excitedly, and the other commanders also nodded, if they could attack with a small loss, then everyone would be able to accept it, after all, the 50,000 stone military rations were the biggest temptation.
"Okay, let's send someone to do it immediately, unload all the grain, push the convoy up for me and load it with soil and sand, and then choose the dead soldiers, we will attack directly under the earthen wall at one time, and what about the soldiers of the Ming army who are responsible for making the ladder? Call them up, this time we're going to have a big fight. Halbara commanded in a loud voice, he could already foresee his victory in advance.
There are 15,000 Mongolian warriors here, even if one is changed, he can quickly attack it, as long as the artillery of the Ming army is useless, then the balance of victory between the two sides will instantly turn around, and it has all tilted to the side of the Mongols.
"Okay, I'll immediately send someone to call these craftsmen of the Ming army to come up and arrange for the construction of ladders." The Mongol nobles in charge of coordination immediately got up and went to do it,
"You also go down and prepare, choose the bravest warriors in the tribe, and strive to attack it once, we don't have much time and energy to waste here." Halbara knew that food was also the most important thing for the Qin army, once they got the news that the grain team was attacked, then those elite foot soldiers would rush to reinforcements frantically, and even the Mongol cavalry did not dare to assert that they would definitely be able to defeat the Qin army that came to reinforce them, so it was best to hurry up, and it was best to attack and retreat for only two days, so that they could still hold on.
"What are the Mongolian Tartars doing outside? Why hasn't there been any movement? Zheng Jianjun, who was sitting in the center of the camp, asked strangely.
"Lord Commander, the Mongols are using sand and gravel in carts, and it seems that they are ready to use this firearm to defend against us!" A herald came in quickly to report, and Zheng Jianjun stood up in shock when he heard this...... (To be continued.) )
