Chapter 610: Straight Pounding

In the middle of the hour, the sun rose high, and the armor and weapons of each other's military formations glittered in the sun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The coolness on the grassland has slowly dissipated, and the low horn sounded, and I saw that the left wing of the Mongolian army, which had formed a fish-scale formation on the opposite side, had slowly rushed out of about 500 men and horses, and continued to rush towards the left flank of his side. ”

"Prepare for battle!"

Lei Xianbin, a Chinese officer, quickly conveyed his order, and the trumpeter of the military headquarters blew the horn, and in the sharp trumpet, the sound of "whoosh" Jiaye continued to sound, and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army continued to step on the horses.

The pikemen among them also checked the armor-piercing taper on the victory hook of their saddle before mounting, the thick-backed saber at their waists, and two flintlock handcuffs.

The firecrackers checked their long-pole flintlocks, firebolts, flints, etc., this thing is indeed better than the arquebus, it is very convenient, and it is arranged tightly when forming a formation, which can hit a more violent fire, and the soldiers can't put it down.

Then everyone drew out the four-edged sword at their waist and put it on, and the round spikes reflected the cold light, and the light in the military formation rose one by one.

The firecrackers put on their swords and carried them on their backs with a strap, which was quite tight so that the long guns would not jolt when riding their horses, and they also checked the two flintlock handcuffs on the saddle, as well as their own thick-backed swords, which were quite a bit of equipment.

Considering that the cavalry of the Jingbian Army faced most of the Hu cavalry, it was not possible to dismount and fight if they wanted to, which required the cooperation of the enemy, so they needed to have the ability to fight immediately. This flintlock handcuff is naturally inevitable, as well as a thick-backed saber.

Because it is a first-class army, the soldiers of the middle battalion, all of them have outstanding combat ability under the horse, so they train on weekdays, mostly in formation, immediately open the gun, use sabers and other skills, but because it is difficult to practice riding a gun, the soldiers of the first battalion. Whether pikemen or musketeers. Use thick-backed sabers as much as possible.

Of course, most of their abilities are still dismounted and fought in formation, which cannot be compared with professional cavalry battalions. After all, horses are inferior. Cavalry arrays of all kinds. It's not that you can drill successfully in a short time, but the basic cavalry array, fight right away, etc. After the exercise, I still have a lot of experience.

The Mongols in the newly attached camp still seemed to understand the orders of the Jingbian Army, and most of them stood in a daze when they listened to the sound of the horns.

However, the Mongols in the camp were in awe of these cruel and unkind fellows, and they hurriedly mounted their horses one by one and checked their weapons.

And because most of them have two horses, three horses, etc., divided into different horses with sufficient endurance and strong explosiveness, so the march generally rides horses with sufficient endurance, and when they fight, they are replaced with corresponding war horses.

Zeng Zhiyi's eyes swept over them, and according to his inner thoughts, he should rob all these Tartar horses and distribute them to the soldiers of the A battalion of the Jingbian Army, but the Jingbian Army has military discipline and is not allowed to loot the property of friendly troops, and these tribes pay tribute horses to the general every year, let alone do it.

After all the horses were mounted, when they saw the banner coming from the military headquarters, they ordered the front cavalry to fight.

The thousand general, the strength of his tribe is second only to the thousand general, the strength has four hundred, not only he is the thousand general, the tribe Erlang also occupies two total places, the rest is the tribe Ding Zhuang mixed, received the order to meet the battle, he was overjoyed, eager to behave in front of the master, busy leading his own cavalry dispatch.

Although the number of troops in each tribe is different, the number of the newly attached Mongols is different, but in terms of the establishment of the battalion, it is also divided into four parts, one for every 800 cavalry, and one for 200 cavalry.

"Allah!"

The thousand led 800 horsemen galloped out, and the Mongols of the department roared while running, and what they roared in their mouths was the meaning of killing in Chinese.

Seeing their majestic mountain and river sorties, all the Mongols in the formation were screaming and beating their shields to cheer for them, only a trace of worry flashed in Leliang's eyes, although the new attached camp won that day and beheaded more than a dozen levels, it was because thousands of people beat hundreds of people, and now the number of people is equal, and it is unknown who killed the deer.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, the grass clippings were flying, and the two Mongols were rushing closer and closer on the steppe.

However, in the center of the arc, at least thirty percent of the armor soldiers are concentrated, holding spears with hooks, heavy axes, heavy hammers and other weapons.

Both sides were galloping, trying to wrap each other in.

However, it can be clearly seen that the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side is more skillful in tactics, and a hundred horsemen have the momentum to wrap thousands of people, although there are 800 people on the other side, the other party is only 500, but they are soon surrounded by them, looking at their wolf flag, I don't know which Khan king of Waizazak Mongolia is a subordinate.

Zeng Yiyi frowned, and Han Chao in the rear also saw it, but his hand holding the clairvoyant mirror still did not move.

The two sides quickly approached, the sun, moon and waves of the banner and the various colors of Sulu ingots hung with wolf skins instantly mixed, the sound of bowstrings, the exchange of weapons, the screams of the warriors on the verge of death, and the neighing of horses, it seemed that this side could hear it.

They used the tactics of Rava against each other, and the cavalry on both flanks, separated by a few paces, a dozen paces, all shot arrows at each other, and from time to time a man was shot by an arrow.

Shoot the horse first, relative to the horse, the person riding above the target is small, and often dodge, twist around, or use the arm shield to block, in contrast, the horse is much more stupid, it is easier to shoot, and the knight falls from the horse at high speed, and the skin has to be peeled if he does not die.

Soon after the two sides engaged, it was obvious that their own side had lost the upper hand, and there were many more riders with arrows and horses with arrows than the other side.

The center of the arc of the Rava array soon joined together, spears and axes shining with the cold light of metal, but the tactics of Mengqi were very large between each other, and the two sides were staggered on the back of the bumpy horse, often without slashing and stabbing people, the fight seemed to be fierce, but the casualties were very small, but the killing was inseparable.

However, as the two wings of their own side fell behind, more and more Mongolian cavalry came to support, and the Mongolian cavalry that went out to fight was staggered.

"Eight hundred horsemen can't beat five hundred horsemen, plus eight hundred horsemen!"

He shouted angrily.

……

Zeng Zhiyi continued to send reinforcements, and finally he led his own first-class soldiers of the Jingbian Army, led the last Lemeng cavalry, and personally charged and killed, as a result, the new attached camp of Mongols, a battalion of men and horses, all fell into the encirclement of the Mongolian cavalry.

The Jingbian army continued to send reinforcements on this side, and the same was true for the Mengqi side, they were at the same time, sometimes concentrating their forces to assault, sometimes scattering arrows in small teams, very flexible, and they had killed them for a few rounds, and before they knew it, they were wrapped in their crow soldiers scattering star array.

Strange screams, rolling and riding, wave after wave, riding around this circle like a tide, their number is only more than 2,000, but it gives people the feeling that it seems to be more than 10,000 horses, and there are more than 2,000 horses in the rear who are young and strong, eyeing and waiting for the opportunity to move.

After the big formation, among the people who looked like the leader, there was a smug laugh again: "Let's just say, how can a group of barbarians from a small tribe fight against my army?" ”

They looked at the Xuanwu silver carved banner on the hill with playful eyes, and only waited for those genuine Jingbian troops to go out and defeat them, and their goal would be achieved.

On the side of the Jingbian Army, the remaining Xuanwu Army's A battalion has not moved, looking at the situation on the battlefield, many people are solemn, the new attached camp of more than 3,000 Mongols has been beaten like this by more than 2,000 Tartars, which is unexpected by many people.

Han Chao put down the clairvoyant mirror, frowned and pondered, it seems that the ordinary tactical battle formation really can't compete with the steppe Tatars, how should they be treated?

Beside him, Lei Xianbin, the general of the middle battalion, was secretly anxious in his heart, seeing that his own men and horses on the battle array had already dismounted and formed a formation, the Tartars were besieged and must be rescued immediately, and the arrogant and rampant roar of the Tartars also made him angry.

However, he has been fighting for many years, and he has already cultivated the city of Taishan that has collapsed in front of him and his color has not changed, and he did not mess up, but just looked at Han Chao and said softly: "Captain? ”

Han Chao seemed to have made up his mind, he suddenly pointed to the enemy somewhere, and said, "Old Lei, do you see there?" ”

Of course, Lei Xianbin could see it clearly, there was a large number of Tartars carrying dried meat, kettles and other heavy mules and horses, as well as war horses and other gathering places, dense horses, I don't know how many, there were only a small number of defenders, maybe some high-ranking leaders and the like existed, and from time to time there were Tartar soldiers who were tired of war horses and went there to change horses.

He was full of battles, and immediately understood the meaning of Han Chao, and said: "What does Captain Du mean? ”

Han Chao lowered his head heavily, Lei Xianbin couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, I have to say, this plan is very bold, but the feasibility is very high, it seems that although Captain Han is calm, he also has a sharp and crazy side in his bones.

Then, he muttered and said: "It's just that if you want to go straight to that place, you need to go through a chaotic battle formation, and there are thousands of horsemen in the Tartars, so they will not stand idly by, and the captives trapped along the way will also be entangled, although our battalion is called cavalry, but this horse, the riding skills of all the soldiers ......"

He was quite worried, with the cavalry combat ability of the A battalion, could he rush over there? Or will they fall into the Tartars halfway through, like the Mongols in the new camp?

Han Chao said: "Don't worry, the battle formation of a certain Guanguan is quite sparse, mainly cavalry shooting, small teams of stragglers, and the feather cavalry of my battalion, the battle formation that is trained on weekdays, will definitely be able to break through and sweep all the way to the destination." ”

Lei Xianbin remembered that these first-class soldiers in the battalion, the most stringent requirements for horseback training on weekdays are the strictness and density of the cavalry, although the strictness is not as strict as the regular cavalry battalion, but the Tartar soldiers in front of him are scattering star formations, a pile in the east and a pile in the west, sparsely pulling, facing the cavalry advancing like a wall, it is obvious that it will be crushed.

Even if they converge quickly, the array is still much sparse compared to the already square, and it is completely possible to smash their heads and faces, bump into a passage, and run all the way to their destination.

However, he remembered a hidden danger: "I am afraid that the Tartars will wake up, avoid the front, attack from the flanks of our division, and strike a blow at the waist." ”

Han Chao smiled slightly: "In Camp A, there are not many others, just a lot of self-generated handcuffs......" (To be continued. )
