readx;
The weather is good, the north wind is not strong, the field of vision is extremely open, and the outline of the Naturalization City can already be seen on the horizon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In a battle of this scale, except for very special circumstances, there is little significance in using conspiracies by surprise, or in other words, for the current Ming army, what strategies and the like want to use, how can it wait for the Ming army to run out of food and grass.
"The horse team leads the horse forward, save the horsepower!"
The carriage with the watchtower is now not in the array of the Huwei army, but in the middle of the entire army, Wang Tong stood on the top of the carriage, on the edge of the watchtower, while looking into the distance, while giving orders.
The soldiers of the Ming army's horse team are dismounted, almost all of them take out cakes and steamed buns from their arms to feed their mounts, horses usually eat forage, and when there is really a strenuous activity that consumes physical strength, they have to eat food to maintain.
The carts were loaded, and the horses and forage they carried were limited after all, and the food that the cavalry fed the horses was saved from their own rations.
The Jizhen Horse Team and the Huwei Army Horse Team are rigorously trained, knowing this, the Datong Town Cavalry is relatively loose, knowing that this will not hurt themselves, today's appearance, but also know that the war is about to explode, the cavalry here, the rider's physical strength is a little bit okay, but the mount must not be weak.
Wang Tong issued orders one after another, and the officers and soldiers below were all meticulously executed, and now it was only about an hour before the camp was pulled out in the morning, and as Wang Tong judged that night, the Tartars did not make any surprise troops, and did not even attack when they pulled out the camp in the morning, but took a frontal battle during the day.
On the above order, his throat was also a little thirsty, Wang Tong sat cross-legged on the roof of the car, Tan took out a water bladder from the van and handed it over, Wang Tong turned out the plug and was just about to drink.
The water bladder seemed to shake, Wang Tong was stunned, and then he could feel that the carriage also vibrated slightly, and the livestock pulling the cart or the cavalry's mounts below were a little restless, and let out a low neigh.
Looking up, there was a black line coming towards this side in the north, and the vibration was getting stronger and stronger, and Wang Tong drank it for a while. water, dropped the water bladder, and said with a smile:
"Tens of thousands of cavalry galloped, the momentum is really amazing!!"
Wang Tong stood up from the roof of the car and shouted:
"Order, continue sixty steps forward, and then line up and prepare for battle."
The following replied violently, the herald was outside the car formation, galloping fast, passing the order everywhere, and Cai Nan below also walked out of the carriage, stood on the wheel and asked:
"My lord? Why don't you camp on the spot, this place looks a little undulating, but it is also suitable to prepare for battle. ”
"Sixty steps forward, you can wrap the pond in front of you and the hills on the side in the array, there is a water source, there is a high place, and it is more or less convenient."
Wang Tong explained with a smile and said:
"Call Yang Jin, Ma Sanbiao, Zhang Lei, and Ma Yong to Ben Shuai!!"
The rumbling voice became louder and louder, and Wang Tong unconsciously raised his voice when he spoke, and at his height, he could already see the banner in the Tartar army.
In the open space between the Tartar army and the Ming army, scattered cavalry can be seen desperately whipping horses, rushing in the direction of the Ming army, while behind them are the same hurrying Tartar cavalry, some of them on the horse with bows and arrows, shooting at the target in front, but missed.
There are also catch-ups, the two sides are fighting desperately on the horse directly with their blades, and the scouts who were out before must now rush back to the formation, otherwise there is only one way to break bones in front of the opponent's army like mountains and seas.
Wangshan ran dead horses, the Tartar army was not close to the Ming army, but the momentum of tens of thousands of cavalry was indeed amazing, the horse team did not have to prepare for battle, Yang Jin also had a battalion and other people busy, and they were also in a hurry.
"Deputy General Yang, the commander of the Jizhen army has only been led for less than a month now, and the command and dispatch is naturally not as convenient as yours, you will be given full command according to the array of the vans, and I will lead the Huwei army to line up for a while, and the horse team is a joint army, obey the dispatch!" "Handsome!! The front of the battle is extraordinary, and the combined army can win with one prescription! ”
"I am the commander, the military order is like a mountain, how can I allow you to argue, the Huwei army is faster than Jizhen, the firepower is strong, the troops are in one place, and they contain each other, but they are weak, go and prepare!!"
Wang Tong, as the commander-in-chief, has always been kind to Yang Jin, but at this time he spoke sharply, Yang Jin was also stunned, and then hugged his fists to take the order, Wang Tong looked at Ma Sanbiao, Zhang Lei and Ma Yong, and said:
"The horse team is the top priority, you must not divide the troops to be weak, from now on, Ma Sanbiao is the commander of our army's horse team, and you are both Ma Sanbiao's deputy generals, obey Ma Sanbiao's orders, wait on, the formation is completed, the horse team is swimming between the two formations, listen to my orders."
Ma Sanbiao bowed down to receive the order, but Yang Jin and the others were a little stunned, the army was united, and the division of troops was weak, this was all Wang Tong himself saying, and such a strong force of the horse team was placed in two formations, which was even more unpredictable, what was Wang Tong's plan, the queue of his tiger army was hanging alone, wasn't this sent to death? If it weren't for Wang Tong's decent road, and the power of firearms in the first battle, everyone saw the power of firearms, I'm afraid someone would have to speak now. ………………
Sixty paces forward, the generals shouted loudly, the front row stopped one by one, and the back began to expand the carriage to the outer circle, and after the side carriage stopped, the cattle were unloaded, and then the baggage on it was also removed.
Twenty thousand soldiers of Jizhen Town, connected to the rear of the side carriage, expanded a huge array, livestock and materials carried together, some of the soldiers lined up to prepare, and some were controlling weapons on the car.
The horse team is lined up on the right rear of the partial van formation, and the camp of the Huwei army is exactly at the edge of the pond, which is almost three hundred steps away from the partial van formation, and it is also a formation, Wang Tong's watchtower is also in the array of the Huwei army, but in the partial van array, there are also heralds arranged by Wang Tong, this arrangement makes Yang Jin and other generals quite puzzled, thinking that they may not be able to hear clearly when they shout at a distance of three hundred steps, not to mention that the killing sound on the battlefield is shocking, how can they hear it.
The Tartar army had already stopped about five hundred paces away from the Ming army's array, and at this time they couldn't care so much, and it was the right thing to concentrate on the enemy.
Although there are many cavalry, the banners are not as many as the Ming army, almost a big banner leading a thousand-person team, and the rest are small flags of one foot square, presumably the leading sign of the hundred-man team.
There was also a cart in the array of the Tartars' army, and this cart was also at the forefront of the array, with a lot of things on it, covered with tarpaulin, but I didn't know what it was.
On the right side of the cavalry array, the soldiers and horses are obviously much stronger than the others, the banners and armor are bright, and a golden banner is the most conspicuous, which must be the location of the monk Guleng.
Wang Tong let the guards on the watchtower come down, climbed up by himself, looked at the array in front of him, Wang Tong felt that his throat was a little dry, a little nervousness was inevitable, such a scale of soldiers and horses was not uncommon for Wang Tong, on the day of the victory of Gubeikou, the cavalry led by Wanhu Najit and the cavalry of the Horqin Department combined, although the scale was smaller than the one in front of him, but it was not too small, and the number of people reached a certain level, giving people a small difference in perception. But today's Tartar soldiers and horses are different from that day, more calm, more regular, military appearance, this is part of the momentum.
The Tartars were all cavalry, and there were more of them than the Ming army, and they were fighting near their own territory, so this kind of calmness and deterrence was really unstoppable.
Compared with the long preparation of the Ming army, the cavalry formation did not take so long, and it was soon ready.
Hearing a few short sounds of the horn, the somewhat noisy and noisy cavalry array suddenly quieted down a lot, and the Ming army probably knew the signal of the Tartars, and this was not the meaning of battle.
Sure enough, from the golden flag, a knight galloped out, holding the reins in one hand and raising the other, swinging there.
"Are you going to find someone to fight before the battle?"
Wang Tong himself made a joke with himself, the man was almost a stone's throw away from the front of the Ming army, stopped his horse and shouted:
"The Venerable Sangha Duguleng Great Khan is the King of Shunyi personally rewarded by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and you people have come here to attack, which is against the will of the Great Emperor......"
"Dashuai, shouting that this person is Yu Siqiang, the general of Datong Left Guard, and the one who ran out later!"
Someone from Datong Town opened his mouth to report, Wang Tong suddenly realized, no wonder this official word is right, and he knows to seize the point of this Shunyi King to instigate, but this side has already dealt with it, and that side shouted, "...... Brethren, do not be deceived by these men......"
A loud voice shouted back:
"Our army came to exterminate the horse thieves, what a heroic figure the king of Shunyi, but he turned a blind eye to the horse thieves on the grassland, this must have been bewitched and coerced, and we are waiting to suppress the thieves, but also to return the grassland to a peaceful world."
"Mu En, kill this bastard with a cannon, a traitor is talking about the truth of loyalty here, Ben Shuai is disgusting to hear!"
Wang Tong got down from the roof of the compartment and opened his mouth to command, Mu En agreed, and then transferred three three-pound guns forward, first loaded ammunition and made all preparations, and then shouted in the direction of the remaining four strong, the two carts slashed inward, and the muzzles of the guns were exposed
The accuracy of the artillery is limited, so three are concentrated at a time, and Yu Siqiang is still saying loudly, "There are people with ill intentions who come with their brothers in order to seek fame, and the soldiers and horses under the Great Khan are ...... no ".
The three cannons fired at the same time, and Yu Siqiang's words were suddenly drowned in the sound of cannons, and everyone was shocked, and when they came back to their senses, Yu Siqiang's upper body and the upper body of his mount had disappeared, and the remaining part was still standing there, shaking, and falling directly to the ground
