Chapter 609: No More Suspense

Wang Zheng secretly called unlucky, he had already shrunk his head as much as possible, why did the general still notice him?

It's just that the main barracks are under his jurisdiction, and Wang Pu has always been serious about himself, and when the battle is like this, he also feels shameless, so he has to kneel down and accuse: "The last general is incompetent, please punish the general." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

All the generals knelt down in unison: "Please punish the general." ”

"Treat a fart!"

Wang Zongzhen, who has always paid attention to his image and always maintains a good demeanor, said foul again, and he waved his hand in disappointment: "Now is not the time to punish crimes, you can tell me, how to deal with those Tartar cavalry?" ”

Everyone's eyes were on Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng scolded in his heart, he knew that let a certain come out, the situation was like this, let a certain find a way, how could a certain know?

However, in the face of Wang Pu's unkind gaze, he had to say that his mind was racing, and finally said: "General, these Mongolian Tatar tactics are different from the Manchurian Tatars, the Manchurian Tatars are more sluggish, always fighting hard to attack the formation, they are more lively, they rush up if they have benefits, and they spy in the distance if they don't have benefits, and follow the ghosts ...... forever."

“…… We are a guest land in the grassland, the terrain is not familiar, they are also skilled in riding, there are many horses, and now the plan is to not change to all changes, not greedy for a moment's work, cautious marching, rather walk five miles a day, than let those Tartars peep into the loopholes...... Didn't we make an agreement with the Jingbian Army to rendezvous at the Haizi Border? Now it is not far from Jining Haizi, as long as we go to the beach and join the Jingbian army, our army will be victorious......"

The generals beside him said: "Colonel Wang's high opinion, it is really a golden and jade good word." That's what we think...... It is better for the army to march cautiously, to resist the temptation of the moment, not to be greedy for merit, not to rush forward, and the head of the Tartar will be temporarily stored on their necks. ”

Wang Pu looked at some of the staff officers of the praise painting beside him, and imitated Wang Dou, he also set up a staff department, collected a lot of civil and military generals as praise paintings, and also made some sand tables. Although not as fine as the Jingbian Army. However, compared to other Ming troops, it is much better.

Looking at the chief of staff, he said majestically: "Chief of Staff Tian, what do you think?" ”

Chief of Staff Nada is in his forties. Got a goatee. He wears a half-sleeved coat like a protective coat. He wears a green shirt inside, a sword at his waist, and a head on his head. In fact, many of the current Datong Army are copycat versions of the Jingbian Army.

Chief of Staff Tian prides himself on being resourceful and known as Sai Zhuge , and after hearing the words of the main general, he said reservedly: "Push the sand table cart here." ”

Since he had the sand table, Chief of Staff Tian felt that he was giving advice, and he didn't look at the sand table to speak, he always felt that he lacked something, and finally he had the feeling that he couldn't say anything after leaving the sand table, and he was nicknamed "Tian Sha Table" in the army.

Soon, a sand table cart that was rough in Wang Dou's eyes and fine in Wang Pu's eyes was pushed.

Looking at the terrain of the sand table in front of him, Chief of Staff Tian stroked his beard for a long time, and finally sighed: "Colonel Wang's words are right, we are not familiar with the grassland Saibei after all, there are too many places for the Tartars to ambush, and their bow and horse tactics are ...... General, it seems that we are going to revise the plan, it was originally planned that after joining up with the Jingbian Army at the border of Jining Haizi, our army will advance to the southwest, and attack Naturalization along the first line of the sea of Xiashui, but now it seems that it is better not to divide the troops, and to attack all the way with the Jingbian Army......"

He touched his goatee: "Now where I am now, about 100 miles away from Jining Haizi, yesterday I received a whistle report that I did not collect at night, Captain Han of the Xuanwu Army is not far from Xinghe, so for today's plan, it is still steady and steady, and the enemy must not advance lightly, as long as it converges with the Jingbian Army, military merits are indispensable......

Wang Pu sighed in his heart, and all the generals said that they should not enter lightly, which means to walk slowly, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault, and sure enough, it is different from the Central Plains.

In the past dynasties, when it comes to going out to conquer outside the fortress, there is a big change in the face, many people talk about the danger of fighting and so on, try to avoid going out of the fortress to fight, and indeed the way of playing the grassland Tartar makes people feel uncomfortable, and there is no concept of front and rear at all, especially the kind of harassment makes people headache.

I just walked out of the side wall so much, and I was already tossed so much that I couldn't stand it, and after walking a few hundred miles, wasn't it exhausting?

Especially when out of the fortress, the old nest of the Tartars is difficult to find, and the grain and grass are difficult to continue, no wonder the successive dynasties have conquered the fortress, often tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people have been wiped out, if it is not for the Jingbian army to accompany them, this time they will go out of the fortress, and the whole army will also be wiped out?

Thinking of this, he touched his new mustache, took out a small bronze mirror and took a photo, straightened his helmet, and said majestically: "According to the opinion of the generals, the army marches steadily, and if you have the opportunity, try to set up a military formation to attract the Tartars to attack, and let them know that our fire guns are not vegetarian!" ”

The generals breathed a sigh of relief and praised in unison: "The general is wise!" ”

……

On the morning of August 9th, at the beginning of the morning, by the Dongyang River.

This place is already the original Ming Xing and guard the boundary of the thousand households, to the east, is the rolling Daqing Mountain, of course, this Daqing Mountain and the naturalization city of Daqing Mountain is not a mountain, the source of the Yang River meanders to the west, and the Dongyang River from the east meets, all the way to the south.

Along the way, the mountains in the east and the mountains in the west, rivers flow into the Dongyang River, forming large plains with many meadows and shrubs.

From Yuanyangzhai to here, it is a place with abundant water and grass, especially the Daqing Mountain in the east, which is densely covered with jungle, and the green is sandwiched with gold.

"Whoa......

The water splashed everywhere, and a large force of cavalry stepped across a small river, scaring away several nearby animals, large and small.

The torrent of cavalry, rolling on the grassland, trampled on countless beautiful flowers.

"Stop!"

Under a banner of the sun and moon with a silver carving of basalt, a cold voice came out, and immediately thousands of cavalry stopped, leaving only layers of hats and helmets shining in the sun, and banners with black edges fluttering.

After the order stopped, Han Chao took out his clairvoyant mirror from his waist, lengthened it, and looked ahead, but saw that on the east side, there were already sentinels signaling, and some cavalry were rushing back, but it was the sentinels of the Xuanwu army.

In the Jingbian Army, except for the professional sentry battalions, which do not collect at night, the first-class battalions and second-class battalions of each army. There are those who have cultivated excellent riding skills, participated in reconnaissance sentries, and obtained more information.

Han Chao looked carefully, especially on the side of Daqing Mountain, half loud, he sneered: "It seems that the Tartar has not changed his life, and he still wants to fight our army here, but there is no infantry army today, only cavalry!" ”

Yesterday afternoon, the Korean and Korean dynasties led the Xuanwu Army to the first-class middle battalion. The new annex camp that had been righteous set off first. Although their horses were not as good as the horses of the cavalry battalion, they set out yesterday afternoon and arrived at nine o'clock this morning. There is also rest when it gets dark.

But the infantry was not so fast. Except for walking reasons. In many places, bridges are also built for horse-drawn carriages to pass by, which is quite inconvenient.

Zeng held a clairvoyant mirror to look at it carefully. Seeing a stream of Mengqi appearing from the mountains and hills and woods, he sneered: "Today, give those Tartars a colorful head." ”

Looking ahead, as on that day, there was a constant sound of chirping, mixed with a strange roar, and a stream of Tartar riders came out from everywhere, with the Daqing Mountains coming out the most, they roared and rode their horses and galloped, and there were constantly Mongolian horses along the way, and they saw all kinds of wolf flags and Sulu ingots gathered.

It seems that seeing that there are cavalry here, they do not dare to surround them on all sides, but form a fan, faintly in a three-bread clamp situation, and rush at the same time.

With the sound of hooves, more and more Mongolian cavalry came with strange screams, and Han Chao looked at them carefully, and estimated that they had more than 4,000 young horsemen.

However, these people had too many horses, and according to the experience of that day, there may have been many women and children pretending to be knights, so the total number seems to be five or six thousand, the same size as oneself, and the number of people in the middle battalion and the new attached camp is more than six thousand.

After the Jingbian army lined up, it did not move, and when he saw that the enemy was still far away, he dismounted and took the opportunity to recuperate.

First, some Tartar sentry horses rushed over, and after watching carefully, they confirmed that there was no artillery on this side, and then a large group of men and horses formed a formation more than a mile away with confidence.

Of course, they still have some baggage horses, which will be farther away, and no matter how many horses there are in the steppe cavalry, it is impossible to take a few horses to fight, and they generally stay in the rear, and some people are specially placed to guard the empty horses, and then replace them from time to time.

The two sides looked before the battle, and only some sentry scouts were running around, because there were clairvoyant mirrors, the Jingbian army took a lot of advantage on this side, and the safe distance could be seen more clearly.

In fact, on the side of the Mengcai, they were still surprised, but they did not expect that the Jingbian Army came with cavalry alone, and did not use infantry artillery to cover.

They admit that the Jingbian Army's infantry and artillery are very strong, but they believe that their cavalry is inferior to their own.

Moreover, not long ago, they also got the news of the siege of the Datong army, and the cavalry of the Ming army was beaten by them and did not dare to move, which strengthened this belief.

Although the sentry cavalry reported that in addition to those traitorous cavalry, there were some cavalry in the Jingbian Army who carried bird guns without arquebuses, but they didn't care, it was okay to shoot arrows immediately, and they could hit people with guns immediately? Where do the bullets go?

Besides, even if the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, they couldn't imagine how those Jingbian troops would reload their horses with ammunition after firing the guns, so that they would be good targets for their bows and arrows.

If, again, these horsemen dismount and form a formation, as if they were infantry, they would ignore them.

In this way, only those who are traitors are left, and they sneer in their hearts, a group of people from small tribes, skilled in bows and horses, strong in battle, can they compare to themselves?

It seems that there is no suspense in this battle, although the cavalry is easy to destroy, but as long as you defeat the Ming cavalry in front of you, let them be afraid in their hearts, and they can only rely on the cover of the infantry in the future, and the goal of their own people will be achieved.

This is also the result of the discussion of the Tartars of the Naturalization City, to sweep away the possible mobile forces, try to let the Jingbian army of the western expedition march in formation, in the face of the harassing cavalry threat, nervous all day long, and tired for a long time, so that no matter how sharp the Jingbian army array is, there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it in the end.

Their tactics, in Chinese, were: "If the enemy or the outer column of the forest halberd refuses to rush through the horses, then the cavalry is sparsely guarded, and a single arrow is fired at the time, so that the enemy will work, and if the enemy holds on for a little longer, the enemy will go on a hunger strike or lack of pay, and if he cannot move, he will march into the army." or the enemy has moved, so he does not struck, and when he is tired, he rushes in. ”

Frequent harassment, coupled with the cavalry staring at the death of the infantry tactics, was also a tried and tested trick of the Mongol army that year, although the loss of horses was large, only the steppe cavalry with more horses could afford to play, but as long as it was victorious, everything was worth it.

Not to mention anything else, the seizure of armor, firearms, and baggage by the Jingbian Army and others was enough to make them very rich.

A burst of smug laughter burst out from this side: "Defeat the Ming cavalry in front of you, and in the future, you can let them walk five or ten miles a day, walk for three months and half a year, and then go to Dabansheng." (To be continued.) )
