Chapter 476: Luring the Enemy Deeper
In a peaceful meadow, the faint sound of horses' hooves suddenly broke the silence here.
A mighty cavalry, like a herd of fierce beasts, pounced fiercely on a herd of cattle and sheep less than three miles away from the Tartar tribe.
In the face of this large cavalry, a dozen Tartars guarded around the cattle and sheep. Although he knew that in front of this cavalry, he was a drop in the ocean. However, in order to win time for his companions to return to the tribe to warn, he still waved his saber and rushed towards the cavalry regiment sent by Luo Jingshan.
The result was not surprising, more than a dozen Tartar cavalry, in the blink of an eye, were drowned under the iron hooves of the first cavalry division and one regiment.
Of course, the Tartars who went to the tribe to report the news were also deliberately carried out by the cavalry regiment, and escaped less than two miles from the tribe.
Faced with this situation, a smile flashed directly on the face of the head of the regiment.
Under the watchful eyes of several battalion commanders, he ordered loudly: "Light a bonfire, kill the sheep, roast the mutton, and wait until we have defeated the young men sent by the Tartars, and then come back to enjoy it." By the way, also use these bonfires to stimulate the young men in the Tartar tribe and provoke them."
"Only then will they come back to us without regard and fall into the trap prepared for them."
Soon, piles of bonfires came alive around the flock, and puffs of smoke rose into the sky. At this time, the Tartars, who were crazy about the tribe fleeing for their lives, also spread the news that the sheep were attacked by Han Ren's cavalry to the ears of the tribal elders.
Of course, at this moment, in the face of the thick smoke rising around the flock. Even if you don't use this tartar for warning. Tartars located within the tribe. I also know that this flock is in addition to accidents.
Soon, several tribal elders were summoned.
When everyone heard that it was a group of Han Chinese who attacked the sheep, and there were only more than a thousand people. Several tribal elders directly showed an angry expression on their faces.
In their eyes, everything the Haw Par Army did, without exception, was a humiliation to their Houjin warriors.
In the angry scolding of several tribal elders. The warning bell, which represents the attack on the tribe, suddenly rings in the tribe.
At the call of the bell, the young men of the tribe, aged between fifteen and forty, quickly took out their armor and equipment, mounted their war horses, and concentrated outside the tribe.
In less than half an hour, almost 5,000 Tartar cavalry had gathered
When everyone learned that a Han cavalry with a strength of only 2,000 people dared to attack the tribe's sheep, and even roasted mutton around the tribe with great force. After the news of the demonstration to the Horde. These Tartars, who were under the propaganda of the Later Jin court, considered themselves superior to the Han Chinese. Where can I stand it.
Directly raised his sabre and bow and arrow, and shouted for an immediate attack to destroy these Han cavalry who had provoked the Houjin warriors
As a result, more than 5,000 people, in addition to a saber and a longbow, even the leather armor guessed that the Tartar cavalry was equipped with a third of the troops. As if he was about to participate in a parade, he roared and rushed towards the 1st Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which was a few miles away.
"Report to the regiment commander, the Tartars rushed over, the total strength is about five thousand, and most of them are not equipped with leather armor," the scout platoon leader, who had been monitoring the Tartar tribe's every move, reported with a burning face.
After finishing, I didn't forget to remind: "Regiment leader, these Tartars seem to be a lot of people, but judging from their charging formation, they don't even have the general combat effectiveness of the real Tartar Iron Cavalry." Why don't we gather our brothers, hedge against this Tartar first, and then retreat when we are done?"
The regiment commander shook his head and refused without thinking about it: "No, after rushing, our true combat effectiveness is not fully exposed, in this case, do these Tartars dare to continue to pursue us?" ”
"Order, all brothers, get on your horse at once and prepare for a retreat"
"Ben was going to give the Tartars the illusion that we had retreated in a hurry. Only in this way will this Tartar dare to boldly pursue us into the ambush circle we have prepared for him. ”
Five thousand Tartar iron riders, when there is still a mile left from everyone.
The more than 1,000 iron horsemen of the Tiger and Leopard Army, who had already been on standby to prepare for retreat, were like frightened rabbits, and they retreated frantically in the direction of Liaodong without the slightest formation
"Not good, the Han are beginning to retreat," exclaimed a small leader in the middle of the five thousand Tatar cavalry.
As soon as the words were finished, the other leader retorted: 'That's not a retreat, it's an escape, there is no order to escape.'
"As long as we catch up with these Han Chinese, they will retreat without a fight. When the time comes, we will say that we can still catch some Han captives and go back to give us grazing, farming, and producing food."
"That's right, we want to catch up with these Han Chinese, kill them all, and capture them"
"The war horses under their crotches are all very strong Mongolian horses, if you can capture these war horses, it is also a very huge income, the warriors should work hard, catch up with this group of cowardly Han people, let the Han people know that there is only one end for invading my Houjin land, that is, death and being a slave"
"Kill and catch up with the Han people and kill all the Han people"
The five thousand Tartars, like five thousand wolves that smelled blood, chased after the cavalry regiment without any disregard.
And at this moment, behind a hillside seven or eight miles in front of the retreat direction of the first cavalry regiment, the two or three regiments of the first cavalry division under the command of Luo Jingshan himself, totaling three thousand iron cavalry, were like hunters waiting for their prey, with a hot face, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Tartars.
"Boom" When the deafening sound of horses' hooves reached the ears of these soldiers, a command quickly sounded among the soldiers.
"The flintlock pistol should be good for lead bullet, and it must be able to shoot out to inflict the first round of damage on the Tartar cavalry"
"All of them, get on your horse and get ready to hedge against the Tartar cavalry"
Three thousand cavalrymen, holding the reins of their horses in one hand and flintlock muskets loaded with lead bullets in the other, climbed the mountain beams under the orders of generals at all levels. Prepare to use the cover of this mountain beam to launch an attack on the Tartar cavalry that rushed towards you, and defeat it in one fell swoop (to be continued......
