Chapter 405: Reflexive Strike
"Drive~drive~!"
"Catch up with them for me, take over the melee ~!" Chaolu couldn't remember how many times he had said such a thing, but he had no choice, and Taiji in the rear had given him orders again and again, asking him to immediately catch up with this small cavalry force of the Qin army and quickly destroy them, otherwise, after he returned, he would definitely not be severely punished.

"Lord Chaolu Qianfu Nayan, the southern barbarian is cunning and abnormal, one person is equipped with two horses, our horsepower is lacking, and we can't catch up!" Bagen didn't know when he followed, but the war horse under his crotch was also a little weak, this long-distance pursuit battle was not what the Mongol army was best at, in the past they had two horses to ride alternately, but now it is the enemy who has two horses, not them.
"Could it be that under the protection of the Immortal Heaven, we can't even defeat the hateful Southern Barbarians? After you tell me to go back, how will I explain to Harbarataiji? "Maybe it's really that the war horse can't run, and Chaolu can only stop slowly, waiting for the follow-up centurion to come up,
"The appearance and riding skills of these people are not the so-called Southern Barbarians at all, but the herdsmen under the rule of our Great Khan, they must be the livestock that we defeated and given to the Southern Barbarians before, but the Southern Barbarians are really unavailable, and they actually recruited and armed them as cavalry to attack us." Bagen hatefully looked at the cavalry group that stopped not far ahead, but no matter how much he hated, it didn't have the slightest effect, at least the Qin army on the opposite side would not die by himself because of the enemy's resentment.
"The physical strength of the war horse is exhausted, you must eat and drink on the battlefield, otherwise you will lose your help, you take the people from the headquarters to go immediately, cover the army to rest, wait for the war horse to recover some physical strength, and then fight a decisive battle with the southern barbarians!" Chaolu had no better way, after all, whether it was the livestock or the cavalry under his command, they would be tired, and if they were tired, they had to rest.
But he seems to have forgotten that in the past, most of the methods of battlefield supply were carried out in an orderly manner after the Mongol cavalry had already gained battlefield superiority and the enemy had fled in disarray, and now, it was they who were at a disadvantage.
"Brigade rate, we are still five miles away from General Liu's troops, do we join them first, and then attack this Mongolian cavalry?" The guards who followed Chen Mingquan's side said quickly and loudly while driving the war horse.
"Okay, after converging the four hundred cavalry under Liu Chang, our strength will have the advantage, hey, why don't the Mongolian cavalry chase after us?" Chen Mingquan was wondering, why did the Mongolian cavalry behind him start to stay where they were? So his pace gradually began to slow down, and as soon as he stopped his horse, a cavalry following him came up to report,
"General, the cavalry of the Han Department is only one horse, after running for four or five miles, the lack of foot strength can not keep up, they must feed the war horses hay and water, now there is only a team of less than a hundred people on guard in front, should we attack immediately?"
"Their large forces don't seem to be keeping up?" Of course, Chen Mingquan didn't know that although the Mongol Taijihar Bala attached great importance to their small cavalry, he did not regard them as a great enemy, but only sent more than 600 cavalry to defeat them, and then the main force continued to advance in the southwest direction.
In this way, the main force of the Mongol cavalry walked three miles to the southwest, while the pursuing Mongolian cavalry walked five miles to the northeast, a gap of eight or nine miles, and suddenly the fighters appeared.
"Pass the order, let Liu Chang lead the troops to this side, but don't be too anxious, save the horsepower, I expect to go up and fight at this moment, the Mongolian cavalry will definitely ask for help when they see that the situation is not good, and then see how many they come, and then make an agreement." Chen Mingquan immediately seized the opportunity, if he didn't take such a God-given opportunity, how long could he wait?
So he shouted at the cavalry that gradually stopped beside him, and ordered, "Change horses, leave fifty people to guard the place, and the rest of the men and horses, kill back with me, and defeat this Mongolian cavalry in one fell swoop." ”
He had the confidence to do this, and the Mongolian Tartars were resting in place, and it was not a matter of time and a half that they would be able to get back on their horses and fight, even if they had sixty or seventy people in front of them to watch and watch, but they tried in vain to use these horses to resist themselves, and they couldn't help but think too well.
"Take the fire gun, load the bullets, quickly, and strive to kill their own team directly in the first attack, so that they don't have time to get on their horses."
Under the orders of the commanders, the three scattered cavalry teams began to gather together, and after the spare horses were separated, all the three hundred and twenty thirty people began to load the horse guns they carried, and the Mongolian cavalry that did not belong to the horse guns began to replenish the arrows, after all, in the battle just now, a pot of twenty quivers had been almost shot!
"All the armies listen to my orders, the first team is on the left, directly bypassing the middle line of the cavalry on the opposite side, attacking their own team that replenishes the physical strength of their horses, we must disperse them, so that they don't have time to get on their horses, the second team will attack the cavalry they block with me, and the third team will drive out the cavalry groups that dare to gather and resist, do you understand?" Chen Mingquan waited for a while, and found that this Mongolian cavalry had no intention of escaping, so he ordered loudly.
"Follow me, kill~!"
After the cavalry divided into three groups changed horses, they immediately began to attack the Mongolian cavalry group less than three hundred paces away, and the current situation is that the Mongolian cavalry thinks that the Qin army on the opposite side does not dare to engage with them, and they are not psychologically prepared, and the war horses are eating, and they cannot fight on horseback, all of this is the misunderstanding of Chaolu himself and his soldiers and horses, after all, the Qin army led by Chen Mingquan only fought with them on a small scale once, and it was more to fight less.
At other times, they were all fighting on the run, and the whole army was scattered into three groups, and the casualties were difficult to count, so the Mongol army was forced to rest on the battlefield after the horses were tired, and now they saw the other side changing horses to attack, and they were suddenly frightened one by one.
"Give me death~!" Chen Mingquan, who led more than 110 people, relied on the advantage of his own armor to rush up fearlessly, at this time, the advantage of firearms was directly brought into play, at a distance of fifty steps, a full sixty firearms fired directly, the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side, suddenly fell in a circle, and the rest of the people were almost stunned in an instant.
"Don't run, kill me~!" Bagen was blocked by the cavalry in front of him and was not hit, but the blood splashed out of the wounded cavalry in front of him splattered directly on his face, making his whole person's momentum even more devouring, but unfortunately all this did not have much effect, more than 20 cavalrymen were directly killed and wounded in the first wave of attacks, and the rest, one had to face three incoming Qin cavalry,
And the most unacceptable thing is that the cavalry of the Qin army relied on abundant horsepower and could run and impact without recklessness, and the war horses of this group of Mongolian cavalry ran for four or five miles, and they were already exhausted, and now they can only move forward slowly, and in such an instant, the bows and arrows they shot did not even kill and injure a few Qin cavalrymen.
"Dead open~!" Chen Mingquan personally held the three-foot-long saber in both hands, and slashed hard, with the help of the impact of the war horse, the heavy force directly brought out a deep wound on the chest of a Mongolian cavalryman, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and then was directly knocked off the war horse by a huge force, fell to the ground, and his head was deflected.
"Quickly crush this group of cavalry and encircle their main force." Chen Mingquan roared hard, and then took advantage of the horsepower trend to fight with another Mongolian cavalry, this time although the speed bonus of the war horse does not have an absolute advantage, but the three-foot-long saber, swinging once, made the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side difficult to parry, what they have in their hands, but a short scimitar, or the waist knife that captured the rest of the men and horses before, this kind of short weapon of foot combat, is not the opponent of the Qin army with a saber and a war spear.
Not to mention the animal skin armor made of cowhide or other raw leather, compared with the iron cotton armor weighing seven or eight catties worn by the Qin army, as long as they are hit by a knife or spear of the Qin cavalry, they will be injured, and even lose their combat effectiveness and be slaughtered, but the Qin army can resist their attacks and fight to the death, even if they are stabbed or two, they will be stripped of their strength by the armor, and they will not be able to cause much damage at all.
"Run." There is only one word that can represent the voice of this Mongolian cavalry team of less than forty people at this moment, after all, in despair, the main force behind them has begun to forcibly drive the war horses to prepare for battle, and it is not much point for them to continue to hold on, so after paying half the price to complete the task, their only way out is to quickly disengage.
"Leave them alone, directly impact the opponent's main formation, and defeat them in one fell swoop!" Seeing that the cavalry on the left and right flanks had begun to storm the main formation of the Mongol Tatar army, and the war horses and Tatar soldiers on the periphery had been killed and wounded, Chen Mingquan immediately ordered the team of soldiers and horses brought by him to start attacking its main formation quickly, not giving them the opportunity to mount and engage in battle.
"Let's go~!" Chaolu anxiously pulled his war horse, trying to get the war horse to leave in front of the licorice and flatbread, but unfortunately the war horse that had been running all morning, and ran five miles at a rapid pace, and at the moment he was hungry, so he was not moved at all and continued to gnaw and eat, livestock, even if the disaster came, they had to eat the last bite.
"Up, directly divide and kill them, quickly~!" The cavalry of the Qin army roared past, and they didn't have to care about the physical strength and supplies of the war horses at all. (To be continued.) )
