Chapter 367: Half-Crossing Attack
Daqingshan is not far from Sanwei, and crosses the two big rivers of Dongyang River and Xiyang River to the south, which is Xinpingbao. The vanguard of the coalition army marched all the way, starting from the sea of Xiashui and passing through the Qi'er Sea, and went straight to the Daqing Mountain of the Dongyang River.
He believed that at present, the Mongol tribes were fighting, and the Qing court and the Ming court were repeatedly fighting in the land of Mongolia, and in line with the principle that cattle and sheep could not die in the same circle, he decided to separate from the younger brother of the same mother and take one each. Dharandai followed some small tribes to graze cattle in the Qi'er Sea, while his younger brother and another wave of small tribes grazed between the Dongyang River and Daqing Mountain.
Dalandai was anxious, and although he was cunning and cunning and a little treacherous, he was very caring for him, the brother of his only mother. The whip crackled down, and the blood grooves on the horse's buttocks were one after another, which was terrifying, and the Mongolian horse was admittedly enduring, but speed was not its strong point after all, even if it broke four short legs, it could not meet the requirements of the owner, and the four hooves were spread out and screamed again and again.
10,000 cavalry is not a small number, and everywhere they passed, the pastures were trampled and birds were frightening. As a lieutenant general, Beikoer was thinking about the work of the main general, and he thought that if such a large cavalry team was crushed all the way, lest it be startled, so it was better to send a forward forward to explore the way forward, and after discovering the troops of Un, it would not be too late to outflank them.
The main general Na Ri Su thought that Bei Koer's construction was a serious word, and he couldn't help but be impressed by this person, and it was rumored in the tribe that this person was a stunned young man, but it seemed that he was also a rough and fine person, and he should be a good cub that could be trained into a fierce jackal.
"In that case, don't lead the people in your subordinate to take a step first, find out the enemy's situation and report back immediately, don't be greedy for war!"
That day, Su still couldn't help but say a few more words, he saw Bei Ku'er fighting like a crazy demon before, it was really fatal, he was afraid that Bei Ku'er would not be able to control his impulsive mind when the time came, in case the blood swelled and fought with the other party, wouldn't he suffer a big loss?
He thinks that the scale of the 10,000 army is quite scary, but after all, it is the first time to form a coalition army, and each is not under the control, and it may not be able to be handy in the battle at a critical moment.
After leaving the army, Bekoer first galloped all the way north for dozens of miles, and then went east. But the company went out for dozens of miles, and Daqing Mountain was close in front of him, and there was still no trace of the Wuen army and the remnants of the various troops. This made Beko'er very disappointed, worried that the men and horses of Un who were late had already returned north, if this was the case, would it be difficult for them to go straight to the camp of the Uzhumuqin tribe? He asked himself, with that day Su's ability, it would be difficult to do it.
After a whistle, the Bykoer Division, the reconnaissance cavalry came out, and the scope of the reconnaissance activity was more than tripled, and he did not believe that those people of the Uzhumuqin tribe could go as fast as the eagles and falcons in the sky with their livestock and human population.
But the news brought by the detective made him hard to believe, or a little anxious, mixed with a little regret.
"The coalition army and the Uzhumuqin army fell into a fierce battle on the east bank of the Dongyang River, and it was our coalition army that had the upper hand."
All the warriors of the Ao Han tribe were quietly waiting for the decision of their leader, in fact, their hearts were already on fire, and they were eager to fly to the battlefield on the east bank of the Dongyang River, for fear that they would be too late to drink soup and not even catch up with the hot soup.
"Turn around, seize the opportunity to flank the Uzhumuqin Department with the army, and give them a fatal blow!"
"Whew!"
The warriors of the Ao Han tribe shouted and whipped their horses and galloped westward.
The Dongyang River was originally a river with abundant water, but this year's severe drought, it is obvious that the rain in the Qi'er Sea did not reach this place, and the river that was turbulent on weekdays is now only a shallow bottom of the stream. On that day, the main force of the 10,000 coalition army led by Su crossed the Dongyang River effortlessly, but just before the army finished speaking, the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Division killed him like a cross-air and caught him off guard.
The leaders of the various departments unanimously elected the Su as the chief general of the coalition army that day, and it was indeed not wrong, this person was not only old and serious, but also different from ordinary people, when crossing the river, he was attacked by a sneak attack, and he calmly commanded the cavalry that had crossed the river to form a formation on the spot, and resisted in the front, because there was no buffer distance, and could not run, and the cavalry who lost their speed was undoubtedly with the infantry.
On the other hand, he ordered the cavalry who had not crossed the river to quickly break away from the cavalry that had already crossed the Dongyang River, and went up and down the Dongyang River in two ways, and then crossed the river to speed up and down the left and right flanks of the Uzhumuqin cavalry.
Although the idea is good, but it has to pay a lot of price to attract the part of the opposing cavalry, and the battlefield opportunities are changing rapidly, and Su didn't have time to think more about it, although the order was driven by instinct, but an important issue was ignored. One of the cavalrymen who crossed the river was under the command of Batu of the Tumut Division, and this hasty decision, which seemed to be unintentional, fell into their eyes, but it became an intentional act of the Su to announce his personal vendetta.
It's just that the opposing cavalry arrived in an instant, and it didn't leave them too much time to think, and they instinctively raised their sabers to fight. The Tumut Department is worthy of being one of the four major tribes in Monan, and it is not for nothing that it can occupy a place among many tribes, but it depends on the warriors of the tribe. The opposing cavalry crashed into it like a rushing torrent, and immediately turned into a blood-stained wave, the horses neighed, and the warriors shouted and screamed......
Despite the considerable cost, the cavalry of the Tumut tribe managed to hold back the sneak attack of the Uzhumuqin tribe.
Looking at the endless flow of cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Division, Su became more and more frightened that day, the strength of the two sides was almost the same, and the other party even had a scale of nearly 10,000, in this passive situation, it seemed that there were many defeats and few victories.
But the situation is already like this, he can only wait patiently, waiting for the successors who are still divided into the left and right divisions, and successfully cut into the two wings of the Uzhumuqin Division, when the situation on the battlefield will inevitably be reversed in an instant, and there will be more variables about who wins and who loses.
The opposing cavalry did not use the traditional cavalry of the Mongols, but tried to crush the coalition army with the suddenness of the army and the powerful impact in the most primitive way. However, it is clear that the main commander of the opposing side has underestimated the strength of the coalition forces, and instead has put his own side in a stalemate, thus negating part of the advantage.
The main general of the other party is not a mediocre person, and when the impact is blocked, he immediately makes the rest of the men and horses turn immediately, and go around in a circle to the flank of the warriors of the Tumut Division.
That day Su felt unprecedented pressure, the Hurre Special Department is also a small tribe, he has been leading his people to survive and the major tribes in the cracks, these years have never commanded or participated in such a large-scale battle, at this moment what supports him is the experience of following Lin Dan Lao Khan to fight everywhere, he is struggling to support, endure the unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back. The cavalry on both flanks has not arrived for a long time, and if it continues like this, it will not be long before the front men and horses with the Tumut department as the backbone may collapse.
Suddenly, that day Su saw that the opponent's war horse was charging into battle, and there was a big lama in a luxurious red robe and yellow hat, surrounded by fine horses, and it was clear at a glance that he was the senior general of this cavalry, and the scale of the flag behind him was eighty percent of the main generals.
A bold idea popped out of the mind of that day Su, and I often heard people say that the Han people have a saying that "the thief captures the king first, and the man shoots the horse first." "Why don't you follow suit and survive in a risk?
"The warriors of the Hurre Special Department come with me," he said, shaking the reins and clamping the horse's belly, and rushed out first. When their own leader spoke, of course, the warriors flocked to him, and rushed into the enemy line with all their might.
Under the leadership of Nari Su, hundreds of warriors of the Khuret tribe formed a ribbon and plunged into the heart of the Uzhumuqin tribe like a sharp sword. The other party soon noticed that Ri Su was playing with his life-like subordinates, and the elite cavalry blocked them one after another, and the great lama hurriedly turned his horse and retreated.
The surprise attack failed, and the distance between the Grand Lama and the warriors of the Khuret tribe became farther and farther, from fifty paces straight to nearly 100 paces, and more and more Uzhumuqin cavalry surrounded them from all directions. That day, Su's desperate move not only did not succeed, but fell into a dangerous situation and it was difficult to get out. In desperation, he drew his bow on his back, aimed his arrows at the great lama, who was rapidly moving away from him, and threw three arrows in a row, and prayed to God.
The effective range of the Mongolian riding bow is only more than 60 paces, and three arrows can be shot in a row, and he can still not lose his head, which is the limit of his arm strength. At a distance of nearly 100 paces, whether or not you can hit the target can only be resigned to the fate of heaven. The first arrow really missed, and then the second arrow also missed, and one of Su's hearts hung in his throat, and if the last arrow missed, it was completely finished.
On the tumultuous battlefield, Risu seemed to hear a scream like a pig, and he watched as the third light arrow sank into the chest and abdomen of the great lama. The big lama's fat body shook twice on the Mongolian horse, and finally lost his center of gravity and fell on the grass.
The cavalry besieging the Khuret tribe immediately panicked, hurriedly retracted their positions, and hurried to investigate the Grand Lama's injuries. That day, Su seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and instead of retreating, he immediately ordered his warriors to open a battle line and take advantage of the situation to cover the past.
That day, Su fought so many vicious battles, and it was the first time that cavalry was used as infantry. This Grand Lama was obviously an extremely important figure in the Uzhumuqin tribe, and his fall caused them a lot of commotion, and even showed signs of wavering in the front line.
On that day, where did Su dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered someone to blow the horn of an all-out counterattack, and the sound of "woo" suddenly resounded over the battlefield, and the warriors of the coalition army waved their bloody sabers, urged the war horses, and launched an all-out blow that tried to break through the opponent's battle line.
