Chapter 614: Empty City
The Mongolian cavalry in the rear was completely stunned, their cavalry was divided into multiple teams, each team was separated by some distance, and the distance behind the forward of this team was about one hundred and fifty paces, and there were hundreds of cavalry, which were also quite elite. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, at this time, their eyes froze, and they subconsciously slowed down, and the team of elite cavalry in front of them had almost been wiped out in a short period of time, leaving only a few cavalry, howling and running back, all of them trembling like dead leaves in the autumn wind.
Why do it? They kept rolling their Adam's apples up and down, only to feel that their mouths were dry and their hearts were terrified.
"If you break through the enemy's formation with a cavalry and move only after a rush, you will drive straight into the enemy regardless of the number of people, and the enemy will not be able to support even if there are 100,000. If it does not move, the front team will cross, and the second team will collide again, and if it cannot enter, the rear team will be the same. ”
This is a tactic handed down by the ancestors, although it is not a hundred battles, but as long as you are willing to spend money, it is still invincible, just a battle......
The candle flower will also burst softly, why is there no splash at all, and the hundreds of fine rides are over?
They don't understand very much, even if they know that the Jingbian army is sharp, but it is so sharp that everyone still can't believe it, looking at the still tight Jingbian army array, do they still want to continue to attack? They hesitated.
The Mongols in the newly attached camp such as Tabu Nang glanced at each other, and they all saw the awe in each other's eyes, they were too strong, the firearms of these Jingbian troops were too strong, and the kind of swords they used seemed to be like a tiger.
The soldiers were still in full swing, but they all saw joy in their eyes, and many of them subconsciously stroked their swords, while the spearmen behind them looked at each other. These soldier brothers are not kind, and they do all their work.
Han Chao nodded, the effect of the sword was even greater than he imagined.
With the sword, the firecrackers in the army dare to shoot at such a close distance, and the lethality of the firecrackers is almost increased by multiples, and it is unimaginable to deter the enemy, how to treat the swordmen in the future. It seems that it has to be thought through.
Lei Xianbin and others also scratched their ears and cheeks. It seems that he has discovered a new world, and he only talks loudly with the officers around him.
Han Chao raised the clairvoyant mirror again and looked at it, as if he saw this situation, and the captives who attacked in the follow-up hesitated. Some wolf flags in the rear. It was also a riot.
And didn't wait long. The other side seemed to have made a decision, the trumpet sounded, and the tide of horses retreated. This time they did not scatter, but crossed the Dongyang River and retreated straight to the side of Xiashui Haizi, and in the blink of an eye, they left black spots on the grassland, and then disappeared, leaving only traces of this battlefield.
When the Tartars retreated, everyone cheered, especially with the killer weapon against the Tartars, and a lot of seizures, everyone rejoiced.
Han and the DPRK ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and the remaining personnel on the other side of the field were recruited, and they were equally overjoyed to know the outcome of the battle.
After statistics, a total of more than 300 Tartar captives were beheaded in this battle, but Han Chao and others believed that the Tartar casualties should be more than 1,000, but some of the wounded and corpses were taken away by them.
Not to mention anything else, the feathered cavalry came all the way and knocked over and killed a lot of Tartars, but they were busy charging into battle, so naturally they couldn't stop and cut off their heads.
Therefore, the only ones who can get the first rank are the Tartar soldiers who were killed and wounded here, the first rank obtained when the remaining soldiers were attacked, and the first rank obtained when a small number of Tartars besieged the Mongols in the new annex camp.
However, the calculation of the military merits of the Jingbian Army is not a simple head, so the officers and men in the army do not have many regrets.
There was also the previous battle near "Yuanyangzhai", and there were also more than 200 Mengqi killed, and after the Western Expedition in total, more than 500 levels were beheaded.
But then Han Chao and others frowned, in their own army, there were casualties, since the Western Expedition, there were two major battles, the front was fought by the second class army, they killed three people, seriously injured five people, light injuries are not counted.
This time the casualties were even greater, the new battalion suffered more than 130 casualties, more than 50 killed, 95 cavalry casualties, more than 40 killed, and more than 20 seriously wounded.
Or the horsemanship is not perfect, when the feather cavalry rushes into battle, although they have all kinds of advantages, but when the two sides collide, often some people also fall off their horses, and then their lives are not up to themselves.
Although the number of casualties is a number in the eyes of the superiors, but behind each number, it represents a life, as well as their families, relatives, especially these first-class soldiers, often have a lot of influence, and their death is even more important.
Under the influence of Wang Dou's cherishing of the lives of his subordinates, Han Chao and others in the Jingbian Army now attach great importance to the casualties of their subordinates, and the friendship and mutual affection in the Jingbian Army are unimaginable to foreign troops.
It's just that the war will continue to be fought, and the ROK and the DPRK have ordered the collection of the remains of the soldiers and the treatment of the wounded, etc., and the rules and regulations in this regard are very mature, so I don't want the ROK and the DPRK to say more.
On the battlefield, there are a lot of dead or wounded horses, their own, imitating the Qi family's army, must be buried according to the etiquette of the soldiers, and then enjoy the incense, unless under special circumstances, eat their own war horses, that is a big crime.
The dead and wounded Tartar horses were all skinned and eaten, and it was not easy to supply materials for the Western Expedition, so those who could be used were used to the greatest extent.
Counting the material seizures, in addition to some weapons and tents and other things, the biggest harvest is those horses, the last war, has captured more than 160 horses, this time there are more than 5,500 horses, most of them can be war horses, everyone smiles, the problem of the war horses of the feather cavalry has been solved.
A large group of officers followed Han Chao, all around to take a closer look, an officer sighed: "Our army also runs a horse farm, but the war horses produced are far from the demand, people say that they are stuffed with bitter cold, but they continue to produce good horses, they only eat ordinary forage, why are there so many war horses?" ”
The military department praised the painting: "There is a saying that soldiers are resistant to coarse food, horses are resistant to rough feeding, a certain view of a book, about the Hu people raising horses, the above said: Hu Zhong raises horses, rarely feed the corn." Every time I gallop as a thing, lean over and turn my knees, but if the intention is suitable, there is time to unload the saddle temporarily, then take off the concubine and let it go. The pen is not sheltered from the wind, snow, cold and heat, and is grazed in the wild. One man will drive ten horses. Feeding and conditioning, but that's it. And those who go up and down the mountain, are hungry and thirsty, and are not sleepy, because they are suitable for animal nature. ”
He said: "The book also says: Our country raises horses differently, the cold is thick, the rain and snow must be avoided, day and night fetters, long under the fang, galloping only three or four hundred steps. The straw of the corn is dark, and it is a temporary hunger and thirst. It's unbearable. Less distress, all bumpy. And don't be a gelding, the wind is free, and the spur is not smooth. Especially not in the battle formation. ”
He said: "Could it be that horses are raised in the Central Plains. There are not as many horses as there are Hudi. Is it because it's taken care of too well? Arrogant? ”
Zeng Zhiyi was also beside Han Chao, his eyes narrowed when he heard the words, and he shouted loudly: "Nonsense." The war horses raised by my Jingbian army are fat and strong, and Hu Ma is not as good. This horse is thin and weak, it is purely one of those horse farms, the horse household withholds bean feed, and does not take good care of it, what does it have to do with coarse food and hunger? ”
"When the Han Dynasty conquered the Huns, he sent 100,000 cavalry at a time, where did he lose to the Hu people?"
Although he is as fierce as Gao Shiyin and Shen Shiqi, Zeng Zhiyi is full of pride in everything in the Central Plains, so he naturally does not allow this praise painting to say this, although he is a praise painting from the military department.
While scolding, he opened the package on a horse, which stored some jerky, meat powder, cheese and so on, as dry food for the Meng to ride outside, picked up a piece of jerky and took a bite, Zeng Yiyi frowned deeply, and spit it out: "What, Lao Tzu's teeth were almost bitten off, give it to those Mongolians to eat." ”
"The Hu people raise horses, just like their leader inherits, raising Gu free-range, there are many grasslands outside the plug, and the horses are large, and in the long run, there are naturally many war horses."
Han Dynasty used to be just a night, but over the years, after all kinds of study, he has become a real general, who can be literate and martial, and knows how to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of friend and foe.
He said: "In fact, there are many inferior horses in the Hu people, and the captivity of the Central Plains only needs to be raised effectively, and the horse material is not deducted, and the same fat and strong can produce good horses. ”
Everyone nodded, this is indeed the truth, and Zeng Zhiyi praised it even louder.
Han Chao said: "Of course, in the future, if we capture Guihua City and occupy the first line of Monan, with more grassland, our army will be able to have more war horses, after all, stocking will cost less money and food......
He looked into the distance, imagining the scenery of thousands of horses galloping, and couldn't help but feel his heart fluctuate.
On the same day, the Korean and Korean dynasties wrote a war report, together with the combat experience and lessons of the feathered cavalry, and sent it to Wang Dou in the rear.
The Korean Dynasty believed that in the future, the feather cavalry battalions of various armies could play an important role in fighting the Hu cavalry.
……
On the morning of 10 August, the Second Class Battalion and the Baggage Battalion arrived at the place where the Dongyang River was stationed, and they knew about yesterday's battle, and the whole army was boiling, and the more than 5,000 horses captured became the object of heated discussion.
Like "Yuanyang Village", the whole army worked together to set up a new village by the Dongyang River, and the Korean Dynasty named it "Dongyang Village".
In the afternoon of the same day, Han Chao led all the feathered cavalry who changed horses, as well as the new attached camp of the Mongols, rushed westward, and now the knights in the army are not afraid to fight with the Hu cavalry, they will open the road to clear, open the way for the passage of infantry and baggage, and take the initiative to find a large force of Mongolian cavalry to fight.
On the 12th, the Korean army encountered thousands of Mongolian cavalry, which was the Mongols in the vicinity of "Yuanyang Village" and "Dongyang Village".
They had replenished their provisions, but the horses had not, and according to the sentry horses, the Han Dynasty knew that thousands of Mongolian cavalry were harassing the Datong army, making them march slowly, and it seemed that this gang had made a match for the Mongols.
The two sides encountered, and just as the two Koreas were preparing to fight, the Mongols suddenly made a move, and all of them ran away without fighting.
On 13 August, the Han Dynasty met the Mongols who were harassing the Datong army at the edge of Jining Haizi, and the two sides set up positions, and the Han Dynasty took the initiative to lead the cavalry to charge, and covered the two wings with the newly attached Mongols.
It seems that they have learned the information from the previous Mongols, and seeing the majesty of the feathered cavalry, this wave of Mongolian cavalry is quite cautious, facing the Korean and Korean cavalry wall charge, they dismount and fight in formation, spears and bows, and wait for the battle.
Han Chao immediately changed formation, also dismounted and fought, and fired a volley of fire with a sword, which caused a great confusion among the Mongols who only had bows and arrows, and then the pikemen rushed to kill in formation, and in a short time, these Mongols were defeated, and more than 200 levels were beheaded, and more than 300 good horses were captured......
On the 14th, the Han Dynasty and the Datong army, which had finally arrived at the edge of Haizi, converged, and after hearing the achievements of the Yu cavalry, Wang Pu was dumbfounded, and he knocked on the side to find out the secret of victory.
Han Chao did not hide it, Wang Pu heard that he had obtained a treasure, and now he is more confident in the combat effectiveness of the new military camp, but it is a pity that their mobility is a short version, step to horse, dry staring, if they are equipped with horses, they can ride on horses, and they can fight on foot when they get off horses, just like the feathered cavalry of the Jingbian Army, why not?
Of course, although the nature is the same as that of the feather cavalry, Wang Pu felt that he should have his own name and characteristics, and after discussing with the general Wang Zheng and others, he touched his mustache and said thoughtfully: "In the Song Dynasty, there were forbidden army dragoons, and there were horses and foot people, and they fought on foot when they saw the formation, I think, they will be called dragoons in the future." ”
In the days that followed, in addition to some remaining sentry cavalry snooping, the Xuanwu Army and the Datong Coalition Army did not encounter the harassment of the Mongolian cavalry, Jining Village, Xiashui Haizhai, and even Xiaohehe Village, all of which were successfully established one by one, and the Mongols on the grassland seemed to disappear out of thin air.
In the second half of August, Han Chao and Wang Pu led the Xuanwu Army's feather cavalry, the Mongols, the newly attached camp of the Righteous Mongols, and nearly 10,000 cavalry in the main barracks of the Datong Army, marching towards Guihua City.
However, Han and North Korea received news that the Mongols in Guihua City had left empty, and only the empty city remained. (To be continued.) )
