Chapter 750: The Battle of Harajar: A Scale in Everyone's Heart

Although the horses were variegated and the red clothes were neat, looking down from mid-air, about two thousand dragoons were lined up in three rows, with three columns between them, vaguely like a huge "Tian" character, spreading out a two-mile-wide front, and pushing the Mongols at a medium speed in a stunned manner. The horizontal lines of the "Tian" character array are arranged closely, and the two sides are covered by rangers, and the color of the clothes is Tibetan cavalry. ”

The much sparse Mongol cavalry was like a feeble weed in front of this wall of men and horses, crushed by one plant after another. Bows and arrows, sabers, and even the skillful mangus shoot back to create gaps in the red wall, but as the red wall advanced, the heroism of the individuals turned into futile efforts, like the waves of the tide crashing against the reef, and the pieces were shattered.

Two waves of dust piled into a mile or so, and the first row of red walls was like bayonets that penetrated into the bone, gradually becoming dull and slow.

"The left wing is scattered! The winged commander picked the collar flower to make up the queue! A Sentry Captain Agent! ”

"The right wing is vacant, transfer a sentry up!"

"If you can't keep up, you're concentrating on the bone line, this is not the time to save face!"

The shouts of the officers reverberated through the red walls, their spears were basically broken, they were all brandishing sabers in their hands, and many of them even had only long and short muskets in their hands, which was against the new rules of warfare.

The strength of the column that ran through the horizontal formation was replenished into the horizontal formation, barely supporting the speed of the first horizontal formation, but the formation of the continuous line was difficult to maintain, and after colliding with several waves of dense enemies, it dispersed a few times.

The rapid drumbeat sounded, and the second horizontal formation increased its speed, and when the drum beat was heard behind it, the broken queue of the first horizontal formation also accelerated to the left and right.

What happened to Harabtan at the beginning was about to fall for the second time on the Mongol warriors who thought they had blocked this red wall.

"Sure enough...... Whether it is infantry, cavalry, army or navy, the way of war is the same! ”

In the second row of queues, Chen Songyue's heart was settled, and he made a splash of excitement and pride.

Since awakening to the way of cavalry warfare applicable to the dragoons, the whole army has been practicing the ability to fight in formation for most of the month. There is no need to think about anything from scratch, just put the principles of infantry combat on the horse.

Large wide planes, shallow depths, dense horizontal formations in unison, always maintain a formation in a state where the horse is as fast as possible and the sprint is as long as possible. This became both the infantry combat principle of the army and the cavalry combat principle of the dragoons.

In order to ensure that the men and horses were the same, and the battalion wings and posts were the same, Wang Tanghe used countless local methods with him. Including the use of infantry parade drums on cavalry to select the most general state of war horses, those who are skilled in horsemanship, and those with excellent horses are all excluded from the queue.

For most of the month, while marching and training, the dragoon army gradually divided into several parts. Part of it is the top horse warriors, they ride good horses, and their personal bravery is enough to compete with the Mongols. They were grouped together with the Tibetans as rangers to cover the flanks of the horizontal formation. Some of them have always been difficult to integrate into the queue of war horses, so they all jump out and do the old job of the dragoons: mounted infantry. The remaining nearly half of the officers and men were used to organize dense horseback formations, armed with spears, and used as road rollers.

The training time was too short and the run-in was too little, Wang Tanghe and Chen Songyue did not have much expectations for the first battle, so they used the usual iron-striking tactics of the red clothes, and Wang Tanghe led the cavalry infantry and artillery to the vicinity of Jinzihai to defend on the spot first, as an anvil, Chen Songyue led the cavalry to drag back for more than ten miles as a hammer, and attacked from behind.

Originally, I was very worried that the Mongols would use the Mangu tactics to fight guerrilla warfare with them, but I didn't expect that Danba despised the Han cavalry too much, and divided 2,000 cavalry to hedge against the dragoons. …,

By the time the second horizontal formation ran over the battlefield, the two thousand Mongol cavalry were already scattered and could not gather again. The first horizontal formation was divided into multiple horizontal formations with the whistle wing as a unit, and slammed into the waist of the Mongol cavalry who were still besieging the Wangtang Army.

Danba roared, and it was hard to believe that the Mongol cavalry would be overwhelmed by the same number or even fewer Han cavalry. He waved his saber, beckoned his cronies and warriors, abandoned the circle on Wang Tanghe's side, and brought up another huge cloud of smoke and dust, rolling towards the second red wall that had also begun to crumble.

The dragoons were far from well trained, the horses were not able to pull up the speed of the horizontal formation, the spears were too fragile and almost disposable, and the formation of the various sentry wings was still not skilled enough, so that when it came to the enemy, the horizontal formation was actually a staggered front. In addition, Wang Tanghe and Chen Songyue were inexperienced, and in addition, they arranged a "bone line" to draw the reserve force into three columns and create a large formation with the character "Tian," and the troops were not completely used for assaults, and these shortcomings have been fully exposed. ”

But these shortcomings were not enough to turn the Mongols around, and the dragoons carried out the core essence of the new tactics throughout, which was to move forward, shoulder to shoulder, and face the enemy as one. This was a habit that had been ingrained in their bones since they were mounted infantrymen.

Danba's cronies and warriors are all Battle, what galloping horses shoot back, roll the saddle to dodge, men and horses fly together, people and horses are one, and their skills are extremely skilled.

But when they collided with a whole row of spears in twos and threes, even the best skills were useless. Danba and the Battelles twisted their horses' heads in time, stretched their bows and arrows, and played with Mangu.

Feathered arrows whizzed out, and several red knights and horses overturned, but almost at the same time, the sound of the puffy gun also rang out, and Battle, who was ten or even a hundred enemies, fell to the ground and rolled over one by one.

"I ...... I don't believe it! ”

The anger almost blew up Danba's body, he ignored the obstruction of his subordinates, kicked on his toes, and the BMW that had accompanied him for many years neighed decisively, and with a support of the front and rear hooves, the huge horse body was twisted in a semicircle, and turned back in mid-air.

Knock the left side with a horse, slash the right side with a knife, and then kill it from the rear to break a hole in the centaur wall. His cronies will pour in, the gap will get bigger and bigger, and the wall will collapse.

Danba felt that his estimation was a sign of fate, and there was no mistake.

The two sides approached each other, Danba's horse swung sideways, the saber slashed, and then a tragic cry rose in his head: "No-! ”

The mistake was in an instant, but it was this instantaneous mistake, and Changshengtian couldn't save him anymore.

Danba rode alone and intercepted the advance of the three red-clothed soldiers, a spear and two sabers almost at the same time.

There was a loud bang, and the men and horses collided together, and Danba's saber slashed into the shoulder of a red-clothed soldier, and the entire blade was embedded in the bones, and the opponent's saber was also slashed on his thigh. The spear on his side was more like a poke of paper, and another saber ran through his waist and slashed at his left arm, cutting off almost the entire arm.

Danba fell to the ground, then was held down by the churning mount, and only showed one hand and twitched twice, and there was no movement.

The horizontal formation of the red-clothed soldiers did not stop, the reservists accelerated and hurriedly replenished the line, and the third horizontal formation was like a comb, cutting off the cavalry vortex around the dune circle.

"Good! Good! Sure enough, you have to change to get through! ”

On the sand dunes, Wang Tanghe raised his head and laughed loudly, and the dragoons had finally found their way......

"It's just an appetizer, the main meal is about to be served!"

Chen Songyue was not so easy, the Mongols surrounding the sand dune circle retreated in pieces, but the smoke and dust in the northeast were rushing to the sky, and it was obvious that a large army was coming. …,

"Keep playing ......"

Wang Tang rode over and after discussing with Chen Songyue in a hurry, he decided on such a strategy.

The wounded were sent into the circle and the damaged spears were replaced, and the horses in the circle were replaced by the cavalrymen who had lost their mounts, and after a while, the enemy troops in the northeast were close to ten miles, and smoke and dust rose in the northwest direction.

"I don't know if Luo Mao's mouth is reliable, there are at least 20,000 cavalry on both sides combined......"

"There are still two thousand cavalry capable of fighting, one against ten, but ...... so"

Chahan Danjin, Luo Buzang Che Ling, and Luo Bu Zang Chahan all came, Wang Tanghe and Chen Songyue muttered heartlessly, without a little nervousness on their faces.

"Hurry! Hurry up! ”

Dozens of miles to the south, the white horse was flying, and the people on the horse were splashing tears, but they were still gritting their teeth and running for that glimmer of hope.

"When the Han people are defeated, each of the captured captives will be cut with a thousand knives, and thrown into the Gege Salt Lake to soak until the meat is rotten!"

The Great Khan of Oirat waved in the wind, and the eyes of Chahan Danjin were red, the defeat of the army of 5,000 years ago was nothing, but the death of his son was painful.

"Tell Luo Bu Zangche Ling to send troops too! If he doesn't send troops, you go and clean him up! ”

Chahan Tenzin roared at Lobzang Chahan, who nodded in fear, and as he turned his horse away, a sneer of disdain appeared on his lips.

When the 10,000 cavalry of Chahan Tenzin reached the Golden Sea sand dunes, they saw only a lone dune circle. The sand was littered with corpses, and black smoke rose to the sky. Seeing the red-clothed cavalry retreating three or four miles away, he had a feeling of being at a loss, how the Han people were fighting? There were already few soldiers, and they separated their infantry and cavalry? How did Danba lose?

The enemy was in front of him, and Chahan Danzin didn't think too much about it, the reports of his defeated subordinates were messy, and he didn't have time to sort them out at this time. Assign 2,000 people to contain the sand dune circle, 5,000 to attack the Han cavalry, and leave 3,000 people to guard.

But when the red-clothed cavalry took action, Chahan Tenzin found out that this dune circle was in trouble. Constantly bombarding the rear, the Han people's cavalry guns also had a long range, and they could shoot accurately from a distance of 100 paces, and the 2,000 people who were pinned down could not be used, but they restrained his troops attacking the red-clothed cavalry

As the rows of dense men and horses pushed at an even speed, Chahan Tenzin's breathing became cloudy, and he finally understood why his son was defeated and died. When the Mongolian iron cavalry ravaged the east and west, they also used this "battle wave" technique, forming several wide formations in dense formations, crushing the enemy like iron plates. ”

But at that time, it was dense, how could there be two or three horse bodies with each other, no matter how dense it was, there was no way to keep the formation intact, why could the Han people squeeze so closely? Holding a spear that is more than a foot long, there is no need to deliberately aim and force at all, as long as it follows the horse's momentum and rubs against the body of the blocker's centaur, he can make this red wall of centaurs roll and run over.

"Mangugu! Mangugu! ”

The only restraint that Chahan Danjin could think of was to swim and not fight hard with the Han people.

Unfortunately, the battlefield has become noisy, and the organizational power of the Mongolian iron cavalry in the past has disappeared in this era.

The vast majority of the Mongols did not believe that they could not defeat the Han Chinese on horseback, and they stormed the red wall in vain. With freshly baked practical combat experience, Chen Songyue canceled the reserves, changed each horizontal formation from a single column to a double column, and at the same time shortened the distance between the horizontal formations to forty or fifty paces, and the combat strength of the dragoon army suddenly broke out again, and the first horizontal formation gradually collapsed after penetrating the Mongols for nearly a mile, and under the cover of the Tibetan and Han rangers, like a nail rake, they plowed over the three or four thousand Mongolian cavalry that came from the frontal attack. …,

"Immortal God, have mercy on your children, how can you bear to take away the best skills of the Mongols, and allow the Han people on horseback to defeat us......"

Chahan Danjin's confidence has been weakened, if he can order the ban, let his subordinates correct their mentality, and hold each other with Mangu's tactics, the battle situation may be improved, but unfortunately, he himself has been shaken, not to mention other subordinates.

"yes, it's his turn!"

Seeing a group of people approaching, it was Luo Buzang Chahan, Chahan Danjin's heartbeat gradually slowed down, and he still had cards in his hand. In addition, looking at the smoke and dust in the northwest direction, it should also be Luo Bu Zangche Ling.

"It's obvious that Mr. Luo's words are not wrong, the plateau needs a new order, and whoever takes the lead will get the greatest benefits......

Seeing that Chahan Danjin's troops were retreating, Lobzang Chahan muttered to himself.

Then he waved his sword and shouted: "Chakhan Tenzin usurped the throne of the Great Khan of Oirat, he is a traitor to the Mongols of Hoshut!" Kill! ”

Chahan Tenzin's expression went from apprehension to confusion to shock, then to anger, and finally to fear. At this time, Lobzang Chahan's troops could crash into the waist of his own team, and the whole army was in chaos.

"Everyone is already clear about Luo Buzang Cheling's conspiracy, he is in cahoots with Chahan Danjin and betrays Dzungaria, and he is innocent!"

In the far northwest, Xiao Celing Dundobu cut off Luo Buzang Che Ling's head with a knife, picked up his head with a knife, and shouted loudly.

"The Dzungar and Han people joining forces is the will of the Great Khan a long time ago! Whoever wants to continue to honor the Great Khan will follow me to the goal, Chahan Tenzin! ”

The head was thrown on the ground, Xiao Ce Ling rode out on horseback, first his subordinates followed, and Luo Bu Zangche Ling's subordinates also chased after him after a small commotion.

However, in two or three hours, the situation of the battle of Harayur suddenly changed, originally the dragoon army alone against all the Mongols who had conspired and colluded, but now, it has become a dragoon, Dzungar, and Lobzang Chahan besieging Chakhan Danjin, this change, it is difficult for future generations to sort out the clue. Among them, how deep the line of Luo Tangyuan's military intelligence department is, because there is no file to corroborate, has become a dusty mystery.

"Why!? Why did you betray me!? ”

The Mongols on the battlefield were in a mess, and they were in a mess, and in the midst of the smoke and dust, the defeated Chahan Danzin bumped into Lobzang Chahan head-on. He couldn't figure out how this Zasak, who had always been obedient and guarded the gate of Dulan Temple for him, would collude with the Han people to plot against him.

Luo Buzang Chahan said: "The Han people promised to let me act as an agent for Qinghai's tea, wine and iron, it's as simple as that......"

Chahan Tenzin was incredulous: "Do you really believe that the Han people will rule the plateau?" ”

Luo Buzang Chahan sighed: "I didn't believe it at first, but I saw it with my own eyes just now, just like the Han people say, everyone has a scale in their hearts." ”

Chahan Danjin fled in a hurry with more than 2,000 subordinates, and Luo Buzang Chahan did not have enough troops and did not dare to chase after him, and the curtain came to an end, and the dragoon army fought with 15,000 enemy troops in a row with less than 5,000 people, killing and wounding more than 600 people, killing and wounding as many as 3,000 Mongolian cavalry, of course, in the end, as many as 6,000 prisoners, it was not the strength of the dragoon army.

The battle record is not the biggest gain of the dragoons, the battle of Harayuer has an extraordinary position in the history of the Anglo-Chinese war, all because Wang Tanghe and Chen Songyue explored the direction of the construction of the Anglo-Chinese cavalry in this battle, which is a treasure that is difficult to exchange for no matter how many achievements.

And for Wang Tanghe himself, this is not the biggest gain.

At dusk, when the vulture crow was already shuttling through the battlefield, and the white horse Raider was speeding from the south, and when she saw this, the men and horses fell to the ground together, but then the people stood up again, and the strong Mongolian girl wanted to find the body of her fiancé.

She found her fiancé, not a corpse, of course, and then burst into tears, shouting Immortal God bless. Wang Tanghe was also shouting in his heart that God bless him, so that he had such a loyal girl.

The night was dark, in a corner of the battlefield, the Mongolian, Tibetan and Han warriors were singing and laughing, and in the big tent, the supreme commander of the dragoon army was about to get his most precious harvest in this battle.

The joy of the lost and regained had made Ulunjurig no longer reserved, and she was about to offer herself to the one she wanted tonight, and she let out a long, satisfied sigh when the two bodies were no longer covered, and their skin touched each other.

Then Wang Tanghe took out a thing, tore the oiled paper package very skillfully, and held the thing to put it under his crotch, Ulunzhuzhige pressed it and asked shyly: "What is that......"

Wang Tang smiled: "Mixed Yuan Cover, use this hygiene." ”

Ulun Zhuri looked at it for a moment, this name is not unfamiliar, but it is the impression of the fireworks and willow lane, she bent her eyebrows horizontally, and slapped Wang Tanghe in the face: "Who do you think of me!?" ”

The girl ran out of the tent crying, Wang Tanghe put his two legs in a trouser tube, stumbled out, but saw no figure, and slapped himself again: "Idiot, you are such an idiot!" ”
