Chapter 139: Engagement

With the departure of the two men, the two armies have begun to move, and this is a decisive battle that will be recorded in history forever. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause in the steppe before, the Mongols always staged sneak attacks and counter-sneak attacks, and such a large-scale face-to-face collision has never been before, of course, it is the post-Mongolian and Yuan era.

A big war is brewing, and in terms of terrain, the Hechi Ti Division has the upper hand, they are on a slope and can have a bird's-eye view of the overall situation, but in terms of troops, the Hechi Ti Department may not be satisfactory. This time, the Khalkhani invested almost all the battleable soldiers of the Tushetu Khan Department, totaling more than 80,000 people, and all the soldiers of the large and small tribes were conscripted. On the side of the Hechiti Division, aside from the wolf cavalry that has not yet returned to its position, even the leopard cavalry was deliberately nested at home by Burhan, so that Khalkani could be entangled. However, this arrangement made the Khalkani misunderstand and the Chiti tribe forcibly crossed the Tatarkhon River and suffered heavy losses, because the strength of Burhan at this time was only three battalions of the Tiger Cavalry, two battalions of the Chinasi, and 10,000 Ulus, a total of more than 35,000 people, against the number of 80,000, it seemed a bit hanging.

At the beginning of the war, Burhan had already sent heralds to Zaduro and Guo Wei to give orders to Zaduro and Guo Wei respectively, so that Zaduro could be dispatched at any time, but what about Guo Wei? His mission has changed from supporting the army to attacking the Tshetu Khan's Han'er: Orhun. What gave Burhan confidence? Make it worth the risk? Nobody knows.

"Li Tongfan!" When he heard Burhan call his name, Li Tongfan knew what to do. With a wave of the small flag, the entire Jianrui battalion began to move. They listened after advancing three hundred meters to make it easier to spread the formation, and then saw the soldiers in front of them begin to arrange something a hundred meters from the front of the formation. If there are modern people who observe here, they will exclaim: barbed wire? Not bad! These barbed wire fences did not have much scientific and technological content, but were developed by the staff of the Hechi Ti Division, and the purpose of this battle was to test the results. The Hechiti tribe had the most well-established arms manufacturing industry among the Mongol tribes, and the Chenas Guards were often the first beneficiaries of these new weapons.

As for the actions of the Hechi Ti Division, Karkani couldn't understand it for a while, but he still decided to take a look, after all, the Hechi Ti Department had not yet shown its full strength. In this way, the two armies are like a duel between martial arts masters, and they have a good relationship with each other, but they don't take the initiative to make a move. In the end, it was Khalkani who did not rely on Burhan, and the Tushetu army moved.

Not long after the barbed wire fence was arranged, the Tushetu army rushed towards the Hechiti army like a tidal wave, seemingly out of order, but the situation gradually became clear at a distance of a thousand meters from each other. Khalkhani's idea was very simple, knock out the left and right flanks of Burhan first, so he was two-pronged, leaving the Chinese army alone.

Come and don't be rude! The corners of Bourhan's mouth furled, and he smiled contemptuously. He immediately ordered the Tiger Cavalry on the left flank and the Ulus battalion on the right flank to fight to meet the enemy.

"Kill!" The war horses were urging, the flags were waving, and the swords were waving in the air, and at this moment, there was a rush of excitement in the hearts of the Hechiti people.

The battle of tens of thousands of people concentrated in a radius of two or three thousand meters also seemed a little crowded, not to mention the scene at the beginning of the charge, it was simply chaotic, except for people and horses. However, when the distance between them was only 500 meters, the situation suddenly became clear. The Tushetu people who fought against the Tiger Cavalry Army, the formation turned sharply, and they began a "big loop" like the Hechi Ti Division, in fact, this method of warfare was not unique to the Hechi Ti Division, as early as the time of Genghis Khan, the Mongolian army was able to use this tactic very skillfully, but the Hechi Ti Department reproduced it. Now the Tushetu people have returned what they have learned to the Hechiti and attacked with ox-horned bows. Seeing this, Batu Bagen was not surprised or afraid, and he shouted loudly, "Stand up for the shield!" "Phew!" The entire Tiger Cavalry soldiers blocked the small round shield on their backs in their vital parts, and the bows and arrows of the Tushetu people could only be nailed to the round shield with crackling, and the casualties caused were actually very limited. But this succeeded in infuriating Batu Bagen, and then the two armies approached, and the "big loop" of the Tiger Cavalry had been formed, which was like a sharp knife, and with an even sharper bow and crossbow, it fiercely cut off a piece of meat on the Tushetu people. Seeing that the muscles in Karkani's face twitched, he had to change his formation early.

With a wave of the flag, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared in a lush meadow in the inner circle of the Tiger Cavalry Army's "Great Loop", and they had laid their horses flat in the meadow more than one meter high in advance, specifically to restrain the Great Loop of the Red Cavalry Division. Seeing the appearance of the enemy in the inner circle, it had seriously affected the cooperation of the Tiger Cavalry Army's battle formation, and Batu Bagen had to send troops to clean up these spoilers first. Who knows, this has made the Tushetu people closer, and it is true that the Tiger Cavalry is also good at hand-to-hand combat, but it will consume more time and physical strength.

The Tiger Cavalry was trapped in the battle, and the Ulus camp was not going anywhere. Unlike the Tiger Cavalry, the Ulus were more accustomed to piercing through their enemies head-on. When they first engaged the Tushetus, Iragon and Bayar were like two sharp knives piercing into the ranks of the Tushetus, invincible. However, this good situation did not last long. As the Khalkani continued to change their formations, the Tushetu army, which had been vulnerable, suddenly became more and more coordinated, and the coordination and cooperation with each other was comparable to that of the Chenas Guard, and Iragon immediately felt the pressure double.

Seeing that the left and right flanks of the Hechiti tribe were being dragged down by his own very few troops, Khalkani smiled proudly. His idea was simple, the key to the Hechiti tribe was Burhan, and as long as Burhan was captured, it would mean the end of the war. Although he guessed that Burhan must have a backhand, but this time he specially prepared an army of 30,000 for him, and he did not believe that Burhan could resist with only 10,000 pro-troops.

With an order, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed towards the Burhan main formation. The sound of the war horse staggering the earth shook people's hearts. Thundered! I only felt the earth trembling rhythmically, and people trembled together. Batu Bagen, who had already found out that something was wrong, looked back and exclaimed, "Not good! Hurry back to the division to protect the Great Khan! But how could they turn around so easily? Although the Tushetu people were slightly inferior in equipment and skills, their will to fight was no worse than that of the soldiers of the Hechiti Division, and they were desperately entangled, so that Batu Bagen could not easily return to help. And Iragon also found that the Chinese army was in danger, but he did not mean to return to help, but moved forward more courageously, and his thoughts were the same as those of Khalkani.

In the face of tens of thousands of troops, Burhan was still so calm, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As the only reliance of the current Burhan, although the soldiers experienced such a war for the first time, they were not frightened by that momentum, they held spears in their hands, and they did not dare to relax their posts one by one. In order to prevent the enemy from detouring from both sides of the Jianrui battalion, the cavalry battalion began to parade on both sides, and their small size was also more conducive to control.

As the left and right flanks were entangled by the enemy, exposing the Chinese army, the Tushetu people galloped on horseback and fought almost without any obstacles to a distance of five or six hundred meters from their own formation. Li Tongfan held a scimitar in his hand, his spirit was highly concentrated, and the crossbow machine equipped by the Jianrui battalion had a range of more than 400 meters, and he had to wait for the opportunity. Near, closer. Finally, the enemy entered the firing range, and Li Tongfan gave the order, "First discharge!" ... The second row prepares... Put! ... Three rows ready... Put! "Chirp! Thousands of sharp arrows flew like locusts towards the enemy, forming a light veil in the air.

Puff puff! The sound of arrows entering the flesh sounded, and Li Tongfan used a standard three-stage shooting, which could ensure the continuity of the shooting. Even so, it still can't stop the rolling torrent formed by the war horse. At this moment, Burhan had realized that it was time for Zaduro to show up. An arrow pierced the sky, and the adjutant general pointed to the battlefield in the distance and said, "Look, General! The Great Khan signaled. Zhang Jinghui, who was on the side, couldn't hide his excitement and asked, "General!" What is my mission? Since the loss of the military flag, Zhang Jinghui has been anxious to make meritorious service to atone for his crimes, hoping to make up for his mistakes with his military exploits. Zaduro handed him a note, which Burhan had left earlier, with only four words on it: "Cut off at the waist!" ”

After reading it, the generals immediately understood the intention of the Great Khan. Khalkani attacked the Chinese army, mobilized 30,000 troops, even if it was a relatively compact formation, it seemed that it could not turn a corner within a radius of a few miles, Khalkani's meaning was very clear, if it could not penetrate the Chinese army, it would mean death, a kind of posture of breaking the axe. However, Burhan's response was even more desperate, he used the Jianrui battalion as a shield and used his own body as bait to lure the Khalkani to attack the Chinese army, but let Zaduro take on the strategic task and draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle! Divide the middle of the Khalkani in two, as long as the Jianrui battalion can survive the first round of impact, then Burhan will be safe, and at the same time announce the death of Khalkani.

Really! The Panthers rushed all the way from the camp, and they had no intention of stealing the enemy's rear. If he did, he would have been in the middle of the plan, because he had already ordered people to dig a trap in the back road and lay up the horse nails during the time he had spent talking to Burhan. Khalkani was not surprised by the sudden entry of Zadullo's Panther cavalry into the battle, and if Burhan did not have a follow-up, he would not be worthy of what he is today. But what he didn't expect was not this, but the army that was attacking Burhan's main formation, and suddenly began to fall in rows, and they were all concentrated at a distance of a hundred meters, what was going on?

Finally, he found the culprit, which was the barbed wire fence in front of the Hechiti Army. As the secret weapon of the Hechi Ti Division, its debut brought unexpected results.

Although Li Tongfan's three-stage shooting was sharp, it still could not stop the advance of the Tushetu people, but when the Tushetu people ran headlong into the dense barbed wire, they suddenly found that this thing was very difficult. When the cavalry in front of them discovered the barbed wire, they had a contemptuous smile on their lips. It was better to resist the horses than to be so high with barbed wire, but when they crossed the first barbed wire, they found that they did not have enough room to charge and jump. Suddenly, before he could react, he ran his head into the dense barbed wire fence with men and horses. The barbed wire spikes and blades stabbed all the creatures caught in them. The pain spurred them to flee as fast as they could, but the more they struggled, the deeper they sank, and in the end they could only become a cornerstone under the barbed wire fence to slow down the Toushetu people.

On the one hand, the Tushetu people are crazy to die, and on the other hand, Li Tongfan's iron face is ruthless. There were more and more corpses on the barbed wire, so many that it formed a gentle slope for the horses to move on, and so many human corpses that covered the barbed wire. The barbed wire fence with a depth of 100 meters has been less than 30 meters under the impact of the Tushetu people, but it is these 30 meters that has become the last support of the Jianrui battalion, and at the same time, it has also become an insurmountable gap for the Tushetu people.

"Sword and shield soldiers, step forward! ... Pikemen shoot! ... Kill! ... Kill! Li Tongfan commanded the soldiers to guard the last line of defense, although he had already felt the pressure, but because there were too many corpses in front of the barbed wire, the impact of the cavalry was dissolved, and the Tushetu people had nothing to threaten the safety of the entire defense line, the only thing that needed to be paid attention to was the eerie and terrifying mountain of corpses in front of him, and the sea of blood that was enough to make the shield float, which brought a visual impact to the soldiers of the Hechiti Department psychologically.
