"It's not that you can't defeat the Houjin cavalry at all, but you have to calculate the pay and gain. The advantage of defeating them is that we will destroy this group of enemies, and the enemy will have to send more troops and horses to protect the trade routes, and the consumption will increase, and it will be more difficult for Houjin to bear. A large number of troops protected the trade routes here, and the gains outweighed the gains of the Houjin tribes, who were about to loot and reap the rewards when they sent troops. Sending troops again will be opposed by the leaders of the tribes. The final result was that no troops could be sent, the trade route was cut off by us, and Houjin lost the support of the Jin merchants, and the strength was greatly reduced, which was good for us. Zhang Chubian gave Gui Yingcha an analysis, and he was also calculating in his heart.

"Then we'll beat him up." Gui Yingcha still wants to try a fight. "If you fight, the disadvantages are obvious. There are four or five thousand enemies in this force, we can't win the battle alone, we can only increase the troops, and the increase in troops is also a huge pressure on us, it is impossible to send too many soldiers and horses, in the current situation, it is also very difficult to increase the troops, you can send someone to ask Lin Dan Khan, to see how many reinforcements can be given to you. Five thousand cavalry on our side is the limit. Judging from the contact in battle, my soldiers were inferior to the Houjin cavalry in terms of mobility and combat skills, and they did not have the upper hand in field battles, and at most they killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 of their own lives. It's not a scramble for strategic locations, and it's not worth it. "Zhang Chu still thinks that the disadvantages of this battle outweigh the advantages." Is Houjin so hard to beat? "Gui Yingcha is a little frustrated." This is not true, fighting a war pays attention to the time, place, and people, and attacks the enemy's shortcomings with one's own strengths. If there are certain terrain conditions, our security army relies on the position to defend, and can use a small loss to severely damage the Houjin cavalry, your Mongolian cavalry and archery level is actually not lower than the Houjin cavalry, but the failure in the past few years, the courage of the soldiers is not as good as before, and the courage to confront the Houjin cavalry head-on is gone, face-to-face combat will definitely fail, if it is a small-scale attack, it is still possible to take advantage of a little advantage. Zhang Chu said this, and felt that he had grasped something. Raising the morale of soldiers is not something that can be done in a moment. "Guiying still agrees with Zhang Chu's analysis of the Mongols." If there are no conditions to create conditions, we will fight him, but the key to the victory or defeat of this battle is you Mongols. "Zhang Chu is determined to fight this battle." The Houjin people have occupied the place where our ancestors lived, and now they are going to attack Guihua City, we have nowhere to retreat, and we have fought with them to protect the tribe, you can quickly say how to fight this battle. "Guiying just heard Zhang Chu say that he wanted to fight, and he came to the spirit." This is not in a hurry, you first report the situation here to Lin Dan Khan, and see how many reinforcements he can give you. I also have to transfer men and supplies from Fugu to choose a suitable battlefield. "Since we have to fight, we have a lot of things to prepare for next.

Guiyingcha immediately sent someone to report to Lin Dan Khan, and Lin Dan Khan quickly responded, but only sent 2,000 cavalry reinforcements to Guiyingcha.

Gui Yingcha was a little frustrated, and his current strength was less than 2,500 men and horses, only half of the Houjin cavalry, so this battle could not be fought. "That's enough. I'll be back in a few days. Zhang Chu comforted Gui Yingcha, it is naturally good to have more people, and there are fewer people and fewer people.

More than two thousand Mongol cavalry were divided into two parts, half resting and half going into battle.

In the days that followed, the soldiers of Jin were very depressed, and the Mongols were always around them like pesky flies, and from time to time they would rush over and shoot a flurry of arrows, whether marching or camping. Later, the Jin soldiers sent troops in pursuit, and the Mongols turned and ran. Their riding skills are not worse than those of the Houjin, it is difficult to catch them, sometimes the number of people chasing them out is small, and a large number of Mongols will rush over, and the Houjin cavalry has become the object of pursuit.

What's worse is that the Mongols are very persistent in doing this kind of thing, day and night, and Mongolian cavalry appears from time to time.

A few days later, the men and horses of the security army brigade arrived, and Zhang Chu transferred 5,000 cavalry. They did not join in the attack on Houjin, and Zhang Chu led the team into the hilly area and hidden. Along with the security army brigade, a large amount of supplies were also transported, and Zhang Chu taught the Mongols a new way to play.

The Mongols still ran towards the camp of Houjin as before, and the cavalry prepared by Jin rushed out without waiting for them to release arrows, and the Mongols turned around and ran as always, and the Houjin army was overwhelmed and chased closely, the Mongols did not panic, took out one by one iron lumps, and threw them on the ground, the iron lumps were smoking, and the horses were bouncing on the ground with smoke, and the Houjin cavalry arrived A sound of explosions sounded, and the pieces of iron flew sideways, with the experience of being bombed last time, the Houjin soldiers were very impressed by the explosion, and they all dodged to the side, and the Mongols fled again.

The Mongols used grenades newly imported by the Security Army, and under the guidance of Zhang Chu, the Security Army grenades have been developed for more than two years. Previously, due to the low power of gunpowder, grenades were made large to be lethal and could not be used in battle. After two years of improvement of gunpowder, adding the design of prefabricated fragments, the bullet body is greatly reduced, the ignition device is to put sulfur powder and glass powder into the paper tube, there is a copper wire wound into a spiral in the middle, only need to quickly pull the copper wire to ignite when using, simple and practical.

The Mongols received rave reviews after using grenades, and they were not willing to use them only when they were being chased, and when they attacked the Houjin army, the archers were mixed with a few Hercules, and the Hercules threw the grenades into the Houjin array with the momentum of their horses, and the explosions rang out, and the people turned on their backs. As soon as the Mongols rushed over, the Houjin soldiers could only dodge first. In some cases, the Mongols threw things mixed with special flasks made by the security forces, and the flames they lit were very difficult to extinguish, causing even greater losses.

Hauge tried to keep himself calm, the Mongols didn't know what medicine they had taken wrong, they couldn't beat themselves and didn't run, they attacked and harassed all day and night, making the camp uneasy, although the loss was not big, but the Mongols have been doing this for more than ten days, no matter day or night, the Mongols will always appear, aren't they tired and tired, although they set up an ambush and killed a few Mongols, but not only were they not afraid, but also increased the number of people who attacked them, and if they wanted to fight them, they had to send more men and horses.

After thinking about it for many days, Hauge had a way to deal with it. The Mongols also have to rest, and the daily raids are definitely not done by a group of people all the time, otherwise the Mongols themselves will collapse if they don't drag the Houjin people down. There must have been a camp for the Mongols to rest nearby, and the Mongols stopped by taking their old nest to the Mongols. Sent a scout horse to follow and investigate, and sure enough, it was discovered that the Mongols often came and went in a hilly area ahead, and the Mongols' base should be in that place.

Hauge ordered half of his men to hold the camp, while the others prepared to attack.

When the Mongols appeared again, hundreds of Houjin cavalry rushed out at once, the Mongols were shocked, they didn't care about releasing the arrows, they turned around and ran, the Houjin people were not in a hurry to attack, they bit the Mongols in the back and chased them far away, and finally let the Mongols escape.

Hauge also came out of the camp with more than 2,000 men, and searched the back for the traces left by the Mongols, and sure enough, they fled to a hilly area.

The Houjin army entered the hilly area not far away, and saw the shadow of the Mongol tent in front of them from a distance, and now the annoying Mongols had nowhere to run, Hauge issued an order, and the whole army attacked and killed all these Mongols. (To be continued.) )
