Chapter 440: Closing the Door and Hitting the Dog
"It's a step too late, they seem to have caught a big fish, you look at these scattered horses and stripped off corpse armor, this is not an ordinary Tartar cavalry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The attack was the captain of the first battalion and the second capital under the command of Chen Mingquan of the Second Brigade and two or three hundred people, but when they arrived, the battle was over, three were alive, and the rest were killed.
"Yes, let's withdraw, continue to chase west, we don't dare to do something tasteless." This lieutenant can only blame himself for his bad life, if he appears a little late, and wait for the Mongolian cavalry's war horses to support it and come back, maybe he can make some oil and water, after all, according to the regulations of the Qin army, the army of different formations is temporarily gathered together, and the one with the largest official is responsible for temporary command.
If there is the same official position, then the Tuntian army and the field army will be commanded by the field troops, and the infantry troops and cavalry troops will be commanded by the cavalry troops.
……
"This battle, it is over, the rest of the matter, that is, our second, third, and fourth brigades quickly went north together to oppress the living space of this Mongolian army, by the way, Zheng Zongbing, the Tiger Wing Army and the Shenwu Second Army will rely on you to coordinate, and the various cities that go out of the pass must intercept the Mongolian cavalry that is trying to escape, our first brigade Qiu Brigade has led people to break through the pass from Xuanhua, just when the retreat of the Mongolian army in the north, the rest of our troops must seize the time to go north and join the army led by the Qiu brigade."
The Second Brigade led Chen Mingquan to the farthest, but he was the first to arrive, because his troops were now scattered in all directions, either responsible for containing the main force of the Mongol rear army, or now pursuing the Mongol rout everywhere, he was at ease.
"I like it, but I also have to coordinate, after all, there are too many numbers here, not only the four brigades of your cavalry army, but also the soldiers and horses of the first and second towns of our Shenwu Army, and the Tuntian Army also has soldiers and horses, but it seems that Governor Zheng has entrusted Ning You, the governor of the Shenwu Army, to personally go north to Yangyuan to command the battle, let's just chase while containing the troops, and attack along the way."
Zheng Jianjun thought for a while and made a final decision, after all, the battlefield is now chaotic, a little southwest is the main force of the Third Brigade, the north is the four infantry battalions of the first town, the northeast is the main force of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, and in the northwest there are scattered soldiers and horses from various troops, anyway, where there is a Mongolian rout, there are soldiers and horses under their command in pursuit, and the main force of the Shenwu Army quickly went north from Datong to Yangyuan, which is equivalent to blocking the connection between the Ming army and the Mongolian army.
"Just do it, don't argue, now is the best opportunity to completely eliminate this Mongolian Tatar army that has entered the pass, even if our fourth brigade runs dead horses, we have to catch up and completely annihilate them, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has been waiting for our good news in Taiyuan." Wang Guzong said with a smile, how could he not be happy with such a big victory, besides, the next person also gave him a big gift, didn't he see that Wu Guangnian of the Third Brigade didn't speak now?
"In this case, let's go north quickly, the current position of the Fourth Brigade is eastward, then go to Yangyuan first to join Ningdudu, and then appropriately reinforce the First Brigade to fight, while our Second Brigade will contain all the military horses along the way and continue to go northwest, to converge with the main force of our army in Tianchengwei, and then launch an attack on the Mongol Tatar army from the west, and if you are in the south, it will be handed over to the Third Brigade and the infantry brothers." Chen Mingquan glanced at Wu Guangnian with a black face, and then said quickly.
"Very well, then I wish you all success." Zheng Jianjun laughed, anyway, the battle that belongs to their foot soldiers now is basically over, maybe the news from Datong should have made him wave his army to the east and prepare to besiege Xuanhua Mansion.
"Travel rate? What's going on? What is the task assigned to our brigade? Wu Guangnian was the last to come out of the camp, Zhao Pu took a look, and immediately greeted him, this pursuit lasted all night, he was also tired, his face was a little pale, seeing this situation, Wu Guangnian was angry and funny, pointed at him and scolded with a smile,
"Call you greedy, it's okay now, the thief chief was taken by the Fourth Brigade, and we have nothing to do."
He complained about this, the Third Brigade had made a great contribution, but it ended regrettably at the last moment and failed to hold the thief chieftain, which can make Wu Guangnian, who has the spirit to fight with other brigades, very unhappy in his heart.
"Isn't that impossible? I attacked first so that our brothers would not suffer major casualties, but who would have thought that there would be infighting in the Tartars, so that they all ran away at once. "Zhao Pu is wronged, if he thinks in the morning, he leads his troops to break into the main force of the Mongol Tatars, and is responsible for containing and delaying time, and when the main force of the third brigade arrives, he will be thrown into the fight in one fell swoop, and he will be able to achieve a war of annihilation.
But who would have thought that there was a Hari Chagai among the Mongols, and as soon as he shot, he directly disabled a Mongolian thousand-man team, and let him attack directly, which scared away the main force of the Mongolian army, and now the annihilation war has not been completed, but it has become a pursuit battle, but fortunately, the soldiers and horses they encircled together have a great advantage, and they chased this whole day and night, and most of the Mongolian troops who entered the encirclement were annihilated and captured.
"There's no way, there's no way to fart, it's good now, I grabbed a first fart, and the other farts haven't been fished, you can see for yourself, the first level is 2370, and our brigade has 500? , take credit after the fact, you're a good kid, but what about me? Wu Guangnian laughed as he spoke, anyway, he couldn't be angry with Zhao Pu, he understood this person's thoughts, it was nothing more than worrying that the casualties of the Third Brigade would be too great, and he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with him, but the reality was that the overall merits of the Third Brigade were not satisfactory except for Zhao Pu.
"Brigade rate, what you said, didn't I also grow up under your wise leadership, not to mention that you gave the order to attack, this credit is indispensable to your strategy." Zhao Pu came up heartlessly, and then said jokingly, "Besides, our third brigade was originally the back, and the war horses near the battlefield were tired, if the war horses could run, could I give the credit to the fourth brigade for capturing the thief chieftain?" ”
"As far as your kid will say, okay, okay, go back to the army, I estimate that there is still some leftovers in the north, but eat hard, don't care about the rest, according to a force of Tartar cavalry to give me a hard beating, just this time, wait until the back, don't let the two armies of foot soldiers come up, there will be nothing to do with us." Wu Guangnian turned over and got on the horse while beckoning him.
"Just rest assured, our brothers have a little rest in the past two days, and they have eaten and drunk enough, and they will definitely call the Tartar soldiers to look at it when the time comes." Zhao Pu saw that he was not really angry, so he laughed happily, after all, the great credit of breaking the main force of the Tartars could not be escaped, but he had been looking at the position of the deputy brigade leader of the third brigade, which was a key position from the battalion level to the brigade level.
After this military meeting, the infantry soldiers and horses of the four towns cooperated with the cavalry of the four brigades, totaling more than 60,000 people, and launched a counterattack on the whole line north of Datong.
The first brigade with two battalions of foot soldiers who broke through the pass from Xuanhuakou Wanquan Zhongwei first blocked the last way out of the Tartar cavalry to escape, and threatened the flank of the entire Ming army from the northwest.
The original Ming army assembled near Huai'an also quickly retracted and began to retreat rapidly in the direction of Xuanhua Fucheng, and on the way was hit by the first brigade responsible for guarding the east side, and then the whole army collapsed on the spot, and did not dare to continue the battle at all.
After removing the threat of the Ming army, the first brigade led an elite infantry battalion to begin to deploy in the same place, ready to wait for work, and the Mongolian Tatar cavalry that ran into it did not receive any news at all, they fled all the way north in a hurry, and crashed into the defense line of the first brigade, and were besieged by reinforcements who came from all over the country after hearing the news, and on the battlefield that lasted for dozens of miles.
A total of more than a dozen cavalry battalions and infantry battalions of the Qin army have been put into battle, originally the Mongolian Tatar cavalry troops who fled north in a hurry, without any fighting intentions, were divided and surrounded in three or four battlefields on the first day of the attack by the superior Qin army, and the breakthrough is not to be thought of, their horses and baggage were mostly abandoned, and the Qin army in order to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, not only arranged a large number of manpower to intercept them on the inner line, but also arranged enough interception troops on the periphery, and anyone who tried to escape alone would be completely wiped out.
"This battle is called a comfortable one, a full 30,000 Mongols, except for the nearly 20,000 people who were wiped out on the southern front and outside the pass, there are 8,000 in this encirclement, and when we take this army, not only can the cavalry army be expanded, but also in the Xuanhua area, we will have no opponents." Qiu Laoshi is very comfortable now, because the Second Cavalry Army is about to raise a few general soldiers, and he can still be promoted smoothly.
"Congratulations to the Chief Soldier!" The battalion below is also all rejoicing, this battle from Yulin thousands of miles to the mouth, and then re-enter the pass, the Mongolian cavalry is embarrassed, the first brigade alone eliminated no less than 3,000 Tartars, such a huge merit is rewarded afterwards, anyone present can mix a large sum of silver, and even be promoted to a higher level, the most important thing is that their strength has increased greatly, and they are in a dominant position in the internal competition of the cavalry army!
