Chapter 236: Jiannu withdraws
The Tengxiang Cavalry Division that rushed to the scene and saw the 003 Division can definitely only be described as tragic. At this time, more than half of the officers and soldiers of the 003rd Division were killed, and most of the rest were wounded, and some were simply bandaged, and then continued to fight. Some didn't even have time to take any action.
After such a fierce battle, they survived.
However, the results of the 003 Division were also extremely brilliant, and the number of Jiannu they killed exceeded at least more than 20,000, but despite the huge price paid by the Jiannu, they still did not gnaw the hard bone of the 003 Division, but broke a tooth.
If the tenacious will of the 003rd Division made Jiannu crazy, then the appearance of the Tengxiang Cavalry Army made the wild boar skin feel deep fear and fear.
But driven by fear, the boar skin wanted to destroy the Tengxiang cavalry army more than anyone else.
"You can't let them go, you can't let them go. This Ming cavalry is too powerful, if there are more of these cavalry, my Dajin will not be far away. "Boar skin is aware of the most serious problem.
If the strength of the 003 Division is only that the Ming Army has traditionally played its due level in the superior infantry, then the Tengxiang Cavalry Army has broken the law that cavalry does not have an advantage since China's feudal history.
"Father Khan is wise, presumably the infantry of the Ming army in front of him, as well as this cavalry, are the most elite troops of the Ming Kingdom. Such elite troops must be rare, and the Ming State must have invested huge financial resources and energy in forming these elite troops. As long as we completely leave this batch of Ming troops behind, then the rest of the Ming army will not have anything to worry about. Huang Taiji also agreed with the idea of wild boar skin. Then he analyzed: "Although we only have about 50,000 troops left, if we are determined to destroy these Ming troops, we can still do it." ”
"Not bad. This group of elites of the Ming Kingdom is so strong, it will not be destroyed for a day, and my Dajin will not be at peace for a day. The wild boar skin said with a gloomy face, and then shouted loudly: "Spread the will of Ben Khan, and make every effort to destroy this group of Ming troops." Then he gritted his teeth and said, "At any cost!" ”
"Yes!" Huang Taiji and others received the order.
Wild boar skin and Huang Taiji obviously didn't know that these Ming troops in front of them were obviously not all the elites of the Ming Dynasty. More infantry and cavalry divisions are being formed, while infantry has formed 14 divisions. The cavalry also formed 8 divisions. These elite infantry and cavalry are being formed in batches.
After the Jiannu banners gathered the defeated forces, they quickly reorganized the attack like a tidal wave. This kind of wheel warfare-like offense. The greatest power is to drag the Ming army into a quagmire, no matter how well-equipped, physical strength is limited.
The wild boar skin still has nearly 50,000 troops in his hands, and he wants to forcibly annihilate the 003 Division, where more than half of the Tengxiang cavalry army and officers and soldiers have been killed. Theoretically possible.
Even the Tengxiang Cavalry Division showed strong combat effectiveness just now. But so what? In terms of troops, the Tengxiang Cavalry Division did not have an advantage after all.
Moreover, Jiannu began to let a large number of soldiers dismount and become infantry, forming an infantry formation to attack the Tengxiang cavalry army, and at the same time using cavalry to stick to the Tengxiang cavalry army first.
The infantry with a tight formation is definitely the nemesis of the cavalry.
By the time Jiannu had completed these formations, nearly half an hour had passed. The two cavalry divisions of the Tengxiang Cavalry Army were acting as the protection of the 003 Division, and the army commander Li Wei calmly watched Jiannu arrange his troops and just let his subordinates prepare for battle.
"Lao Li, the wild boar skin still seems to have thoughts about us." Liang Qingchang watched Jiannu busy arranging his troops. Said to Levi with a frown.
"They're jumping over the wall now, so they naturally have thoughts about us." Levi said calmly. Then a playful smile appeared on his face, "I believe it won't be long before there will be a good show." ”
"Could it be that Sun Junmen ......?" Liang Qingchang asked in a deep voice. Li Wei smiled and said, "Yes, Sun Junmen has ordered the main force to outflank Jiannu in a roundabout way. The longer Jiannu spends here, the bigger the heel will become. ”
Then looking up at the sky, Levi touched his chin and said, "Judging from the time, Jiannu should be about to receive information." ”
As expected, just as the wild boar skin was preparing to officially besiege the Tengxiang Cavalry Army and the 003 Division, a shocking news came.
"Report ......"
A fast horse galloped quickly, and Jiannu's scout rode straight to the Chinese army, and when he saw the location of the wild boar skin, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, "Qiqi Great Khan, there are about 60,000 Ming troops, and they are outflanking the rear of our army." In addition, there are 40,000 Ming troops who are killing our army, and they are only twenty miles away from our army. ”
"What!" The wild boar skin tightened on the spot, and the Ming army outflanked them in a roundabout way, with very obvious intentions. What made the wild boar skin even more desperate was that there were still 40,000 Ming troops who were reinforcing here.
The intention to annihilate the Tengxiang Cavalry Army and the 003rd Division was obviously ruthlessly bankrupt.
When Wild Boar Skin and a group of high-level Jiannu officials heard the news, their faces changed drastically. A bad feeling welled up in my heart, followed by a sense of powerless frustration.
"Great Khan ......"
"Don't say it, withdraw~!" The wild boar skin's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back to Liaoyang!" ”
"Yes, Great Khan."
The military formation, which had just been arranged, was quickly withdrawn. All the Jiannu soldiers turned on their horses and began to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner.
Wild boar skins they know that if they don't leave, something big will happen.
The Ming army was outflanking them in a roundabout way, and once the Ming army went around their rear, then they would be exposed to the enemy on their backs.
In the face of such a roundabout outflanking tactic, there are only two options. One is to retreat and destroy the enemy who is outflanking the rear. One is to quickly crush the enemy in front and then deal with the enemy in the rear.
The former plan is obviously a bit problematic, once the Ming army is pulled into the quagmire of a war of attrition, the Jiannu bandit gang led by the wild boar skin cannot afford it. The latter is even more nonsense, the reinforcements of the Ming army are almost there, and there is simply not enough time to annihilate this Ming army in the front.
The only option was to withdraw from the battlefield first and get rid of the entanglement with the Ming army when the Ming army had not yet succeeded in outflanking the rear.
Jiannu chose to retreat, and soon the initiative on the battlefield was reversed, and it became the Ming army to encircle and pursue the main force of Jiannu.
The Tengxiang cavalry army immediately pasted it like a dog's skin plaster, and even if Jiannu wanted to withdraw, he had to tear off a layer of skin from them.
Jiannu had no intention of fighting, but the Tengxiang cavalry army had to fight when they came up like this.
Immediately clashed, the Tengxiang cavalry army was naturally not afraid.
Maybe 100 cavalry of the Ming army can't beat 100 Jiannu cavalry who are proficient in cavalry and archery. But 1,000 Ming cavalry could defeat 1,000 Jiannu cavalry. If there are 10,000 Ming cavalry, they can compete with the Jiannu cavalry that is several times their own.
The more troops the new cavalry has, the more room there is for cooperation.
At this time, the Tengxiang cavalry army was not afraid of fighting Jiannu at all.
If Jiannu wants to run away, it is naturally impossible to devote all his troops to the battle with the Tengxiang cavalry army, and the result can be imagined. The Jiannu cavalry sent to the back hall was ruthlessly chiseled by the Tengxiang cavalry army again and again. (To be continued......)
