No matter what era, before the battle, the control of the battlefield is a must be fought for by the two warring parties. Whoever controls the battlefield can shield their own actions, and at the same time take in the enemy's every move, and the battlefield will be one-way transparent to them.

The so-called use of soldiers is really like a god, and it is often based on the one-way transparency of the battlefield! Before the advent of mechanized warfare, the most effective tool that could be used to control the vast battlefield was the cavalry, which was capable of resisting attrition.

In the wind and rain, hundreds of ironclad guards surrounded a mountain in the Great Black Mountain, surrounded by Chen Dexing, who was standing on a high place. King Ming's Sun and Moon King Banner is above his head, absorbing water and hanging down heavily, and the person holding the flag is a big man whose height is similar to Chen Dexing. is also a child of Anfeng's Chen family, standing behind Chen Dexing, motionless.

Chen Dexing sat on a horse in iron armor, holding a telescope to look at the scene of riding and hedging under the mountain.

The horse teams of both sides are constantly investing, and the first to enter the battlefield of more than 200 horsemen have lost their horse speed, forming a chaotic battle situation, the entangled scimitars are flying, and the armor soldiers on both sides have fallen from time to time.

Although the scale of the newly formed Eight Banners is not large, and the training time is short, it cannot fight the kind of strict wall-type impact. But these wild Tartars, who grew up in the mountains and wilderness of Liaodong, hunted wild beasts on the one hand, and killed each other on the other, and they were very hard at war. And these 800 Eight Banners, who were selected from thousands of people, were also encouraged by miracles to believe in the Heavenly Taoism, and were also encouraged by the Taoist of the Heavenly Taoism (at present, there is no righteous instructor who can be assigned to the Eight Banners, so they can only let the Heavenly Taoist Taoist who understands the Jurchen language do it for him) to hate the Mongols, in this evenly matched cavalry battle. Their morale is high, and everyone is brave.

A one-armed Tiandao Taoist holds a Sun and Moon Banner (King Ming's royal flag). Riding on a horse, he shouted: "Warriors of King Ming." Come on! Kill! Kill all these Mongolian Tartars who destroyed my homeland, killed my parents, and fornicated my wife and daughter! Kill! Kill ......"

Encouraged by him, the already high morale of the Eight Banners soldiers was immediately mentioned, and with a roar, they danced their scimitars and rode forward, rushing into the larger and larger battle groups.

The Mongols didn't seem to have thought that the south of the Great Black Mountain would kill such a fierce Shengjuzhen Iron Cavalry - it was not that they had never competed with the Shengjurchen, but they had never encountered such a large force and such a fierce force. A well-equipped raw girl!

Under the sudden blow, they were actually a little chaotic, and they often saw the "miracles of Tongtian" these days, and people's hearts were already a little panicked, and now they were suddenly attacked by the real Tartars who were more fierce than them, where is there still the will to fight?

Seeing that the shape was unfavorable, a Mongolian thousand households shouted an order, telling his subordinates to quickly leave the battlefield and retreat in the northwest direction.

Watch as the Mongol horses withdraw from the battlefield. Both the Eight Banners and the Northern Expeditionary Army watching the battle cheered loudly, shaking the area from the Great Black Mountain to the Bohai Sea. Those Eight Banners vests that fought a bloody battle were even more exciting.

The Mongol iron cavalry has been pressing on their heads for thirty or forty years, and they don't know how many girls they have killed. robbed many real girls, and turned the Jurchen farmland into a playground, and turned Daikin's city into ruins. Now these invincible Mongolian iron cavalry have actually been defeated in the hands of the organized Eight Banners! How not to get excited? They shouted and brandished their sabers and began to pursue.

Chen Dexing was a little dissatisfied. frowned at a military general beside him and ordered: "If you are led by someone, you will be chased, and if you chase you, you will be chaotic." Even the Mongols forgot about the return shots! It seems that these Jurchens still lack practice, and they have to practice hard. The officers have to give them lessons, too! Order, let the Eight Banners retreat and rectify, let our cavalry division go up and hang the tail of the Mongols, and the follow-up infantry can also drive in! Before dusk, you have to walk at least 20 miles before you can set up camp. ”

Chen Dexing gave an order, and suddenly the drums, trumpets and banners around him were conveying his military orders.

Wang Lufei, the commander of the cavalry division of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who had been waiting at the foot of the Great Black Mountain for a long time, let out a roar, and 1,500 cavalrymen, lined up in a neat formation, marched forward quickly. Even if it was a trot all the way, the formation was still not chaotic at all. It seems to be the honor guard of the Great Song Dynasty's official family!

This baby cavalry, taking the road of heavy cavalry, the strict training of the 1500 cavalry into a whole, and do not take the route of cavalry shooting, but use a mobile iron wall like the impact to break the enemy - the tactics of cavalry charging are very popular throughout the ages, and the best use is the modern European Army. The modern European-style army emphasizes the coordination of multiple arms, and does not simply give full play to the power of heavy cavalry, light cavalry, line infantry, light infantry or artillery, but mixes all arms into a whole.

And Chen Dexing is also thinking this way now, this Han cavalry division plays the role of heavy cavalry, and is not used to melee or cover the battlefield, nor is it used to pursue and defeat the enemy. Rather, it is used to fight a grand battle - to coordinate with artillery, infantry, and light cavalry, and act as a hammer to crush the enemy position on the battlefield.

Now sending them to carry out the task of driving the enemy is still somewhat helpless, after all, the Eight Banners who serve as light cavalry are still a little scattered. These "Eight Banner Warriors" were hot-headed and about to pursue them, when suddenly the sound of Mingjin came. The cavalry reluctantly stopped. He watched as the Mongol horses retreated in a northwesterly direction.

Several Eight Banner leaders went up to the high slope where Chen Dexing was located, and Yang Ah Guo was also with them—he was now being trained by the Heavenly Taoist Sect while serving as a military Taoist and general officer of the Eight Banners Army, and was also responsible for teaching the Eight Banners soldiers to speak Chinese.

Several people knelt down reverently in front of the Ming King Chen Dexing - after seeing the cannon and the miracle of Tongtian, these wild Tartars all believed that Chen Dexing was a god.

A Jurchen Tartar muttered a lot of words, and Yang Ah Guo translated them into Chinese: "King Ming, Amin wants to know why you don't let the warriors of the Eight Banners chase down, and the warriors of the Eight Banners can cut dozens of more Mongol heads for you." ”

Chen Dexing smiled faintly: "Sue the warriors, they have the opportunity to cut the heads of the Mongols, and now is just the beginning." There are seven or eight hundred thousand Mongolians in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolians in Mongolia itself, but I am afraid that they will not be able to cut them all! ”

Yang Aguo translated Chen Dexing's words into Jurchen, and several Tartars laughed.

Chen Dexing lowered his tone: "But you are only warriors now, not qualified officers yet, you don't know when to attack, when to retreat, and when to hang the enemy's tail tightly...... Just now, each of you is very good, strong in martial arts, good at fighting, worthy of the skills practiced by stabbing tigers and killing bears in the mountains and forests. But you guys combined to form the Eight Banners and didn't play their due combat power. Actually, as an army, you are not as good as the Mongolian thousand-man team! If you are allowed to chase after you, the Mongols will surely turn defeat into victory. Anyway, there's a lot more you need to learn! ”

These words were unquestionable oracles, at least in the eyes of a few wild Tartars.

As soon as Chen Dexing pulled the reins, the war horse neighed, and galloped down the hillside: "Go, let's go and see how the battle should be fought!" ”

……

In the northwest of the Great Black Mountain, there was also a small group of men and horses watching the battlefield from a high place at this time.

The leader of the army is none other than the Mongolian Liaodong Zhulu Daru Huachi Ashulu. After settling his army of 20,000, he arrived from the ruined city of Jian'an. I wanted to take a look at Chen Dexing's military situation. Unexpectedly, I witnessed an encounter between the Eight Banners and Mongolia.

Seeing the Eight Banners wearing colorful battle jackets at the foot of the mountain retreating one after another, the brigade was as tightly organized as the ironclad cavalry of the honor guard slowly pursued up. Ashuru's face was already hard to see.

How could he not tell that those cavalrymen in colorful battle jackets were born Female True Tartars! At a glance, they knew that they had practiced since childhood in their kung fu on horses, and there were no such cavalry in the Song Kingdom! Looking at their chaotic appearance, I also know that they can't be Yidu Li Pu or other Han Hou's people.

These people can only be real barbarians!

Chen Dexing is really already recruiting the raw Jurchens for his own use, but these raw Jurchen cavalry has not been trained well, and they are not yet suitable for battle, otherwise Chen Dexing would not have used those ironclad cavalry to pursue.

For this ironclad cavalry, Ashuru didn't care much. Such cavalry is good against infantry, and against the light cavalry under his own command...... Seems to be in the wrong place! It's just hanging far away like this, if you really want to get closer, you can put down two or three hundred in a burst of back shots!

Ashulu is not a famous general, but he has also been on the battlefield all his life, and in his early years, he also participated in the western expedition commanded by the capital, and now he is older, and he is more stable and wise. That's why Tachar gave him the important task of pacifying Liaodong.

But now it seems...... Looking at the steady stream of troops coming from the south of the Great Black Mountain, Ashulu's brows became tighter and tighter, relying on his own 20,000 rabble, I am afraid that he would not be able to resist this army of Song people!

It seems that more soldiers and horses must be mobilized from the Ulus to cover the state!

However, King Tachar was bent on fighting for the rich Goryeo, which in his opinion was the rear of Chen Dexing, and if he lost Goryeo, Chen Dexing would not be able to sustain it. Therefore, the most elite troops of the four kings of the Mongol host can only be used for the Armageddon of Goryeo!

The elite soldiers and strong generals are all used in Goryeo, what should I do here in Liaodong? Let Chen Dexing run rampant?

When Ashulu was shaking his head helplessly, the Baihu Tabutai, who came with him, reminded in a low voice: "Chief, look! There don't seem to be many soldiers and horses in the south! ”

Ashulu looked at it at this time, it seemed that it was not too much, except for a thousand or a hundred ironclad cavalry, that is, a maximum of three thousand or several hundred foot soldiers and seven or eight hundred Jurchen cavalry!

"Less than 6,000!" Ashulu gritted his teeth, turned around and instructed Tabutai, "Go and give an order to Timur Qianhu, tell him not to entangle with the enemy, and quickly retreat to the abandoned city of Fuzhou!" ”

This is the only land access to the outside world in the Golden State! If Chen Dexing only sent 6,000 people to attack, then this battle could still be fought hard!

Alas! Even if Chen Dexing brought out 20,000 soldiers, would the great Mongolia be able to flee from the wind? Thinking of this, Ashulu sighed, pulled the reins and headed down the mountain. (To be continued......)
