Chapter 332: The Consequences of Ring Warfare

Sun Dayong used cavalry ring warfare, and this tactic naturally came from Zhou Huchen.

Sun Dayong considered the use of this tactic, because the terrain here is very suitable for this tactic.

In front of it is a battlefield that runs through the north and south, and on both sides is a high slope, with a horizontal width of about three or four miles, and the terrain of these three or four miles is relatively flat, which is very suitable for cavalry combat.

Esen actually wanted to use attack tactics, since Badali wanted to try the depth of the Ming army, Esen was not polite, in order to reduce the casualties of his own men, his tactics were also out of helplessness. Of course, if Esen can't beat it, he will have to flee, and if the Ming army is vulnerable, he doesn't mind being brave.

The distance began to close, and the formation of the Ming cavalry was linear, and it was a little to the right, and the speed did not seem to be too fast.

The brave people of the Immortal Heaven began to howl, which was the prelude to the imminent impact, and at this time, the Ming cavalry began to change to the left and rushed up, and the direction of the attack was the right flank of the Mongol cavalry. This is a regular tactic of cavalry combat, where the cavalry has to flash out of space, and the right hand is the hand with the sword, and the two sides can just engage each other. The speed of the twin rounds is getting faster and faster, the oblique charge is the prelude to the engagement, the cavalry combat is nothing more than relaxation and hand-to-hand combat, and of course, there is now the Ming army's horse fire.

It was very close, and the cavalry on both sides had already entered within a hundred paces.

Suddenly, the leading cavalry of the Ming army increased the angle of turn.

In the confusion of the Mongol cavalry, the Ming cavalry continued to gallop towards their left front, and the angle became larger and larger. Immediately after, the cavalryman's rifle was raised. The rhythm of the horse is a state of undulation, and with this undulation and acceleration, the war horse of this Ming army rider forms a transverse state.

The sound of fiery guns broke through the rumbling hooves, and the first shot of the Ming knights was missed, because not a single Mongol cavalry had fallen off their horses.

There was a second sound of fire, there was a second, there were countless sounds, and the Ming knight in the first line ignored these Mongolian cavalrymen, and he continued to gallop. It was as if he was fleeing from the battlefield, and he was unwilling to engage in close combat with the Mongols.

The Mongol cavalry, who did not have a chance to fire their bows and arrows, was finally hit, and one of the cavalrymen was visibly shaken, and he fell headlong under his horse. At this time, the sound of firecrackers continued to sound, and when the rushing Ming cavalry reached the horizontal, they would not hesitate to let their firearms fire, and then they followed closely with the knights in front of them.

The cavalry of the Ming Army kept up, shooting, and kept moving forward.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and the number of Mongol cavalry who have fallen off their horses is also increasing. Before they could reach the range of their bows and arrows, the Mongol cavalry could only bury their heads and continue to charge forward. As for morale, no one can say, anyway, I have to make an appearance to those nobles, as for my life and death, I have to rely on the immortal heaven to bless me, and if I can't do it, I will run away.

At this time, the Ming knights at the head of the platoon were already making a detour back, and the Ming cavalry behind him who had fired the fire guns were also following closely, and the cavalry behind these cavalry was still shooting their own fire guns

It is a steady stream, and the cavalry of the Ming army is constantly keeping up. It was their task to gallop and shoot, and then set off on horseback.

The cavalry at the front was back, and the cavalry at the back were still riding up one by one, forming a circle that kept shooting whistling projectiles, and it seemed to be rolling forward slowly. The dull sound of fire guns was endless. There is no sign of stopping, this is the ring tactic, also called the loop tactic, the tactic of Professor Zhou Huchen. A tactic that works well in small cavalry combat.

The advantage of this tactic is that there are no endless attacks, and the cavalry only needs to fire their own firearms as long as they are told. No enemy can get closer, not the Jianzhou people, and even less the Mongols who were conquered by the Jianzhou people.

The principle of survival determined that the Mongols did not try their best to liliang courage, and the continuous casualties made Esen decisively issue the order to retreat, although this order seemed timely, but it was still a little late, because the Mongols did not understand the horror of the firecracker, nor did they understand the courage and tactics of the Ming army.

The huge circular cavalry formation turned into an oval at an extremely fast speed, and the horizontal cavalry increased, and the sound of fire became more intensive. The inevitable slaughter continues, and the Mongol cavalry that is charging forward is the time to flee and turn back, and time is the loss of life.

The casualties that were powerless to fight back made Esen's eyes glow black with pain, and he was fully prepared to bear such a huge loss. I didn't want to fight with you, I actually treated myself like this, there is no heavenly reason!

In any case, the people of Esen still escaped from the killing range of this huge and endless circular formation, this combat method is not an impact attack after all, it requires a certain special environment and opportunities, and there is nothing to be done about the enemy who escapes from the attack range.

Badali, who was standing on the high slope and watching the battle, turned his head to look at Manzhu Xili with a dark face, and Manzhu Xili, who was originally full of expectations, was also stunned, and he looked at the battlefield in front of him in confusion.

In a short period of time, no less than a thousand people were killed and wounded, such a cavalry is terrible!

It's just that I've heard it's strong, but is it strong? Is this the Ming Army? In a short period of time, the cavalry of the Ming army in front of him achieved such a result without losing a single person, how could this battle be fought?

"Unbeatable!" Seeing Manzhu Xili's expression, Badali sighed with emotion.

Manzhu Xili has a very strong comprehension ability, how can he not understand the meaning of Badali, isn't it just to avoid its edge, make a deep battle plan, and then take corresponding countermeasures?

"The Ming army is sharp, but this is our territory, we still have thousands of miles in depth, let the people of the Immortal Heaven take refuge for a while, the Ming army will definitely have difficulties in supply along the way, and it can completely drag them down."

After hesitating for a moment, Manzhu Xili still compromised. His speech undoubtedly agreed with Badali's opinion, which is tantamount to returning to the original starting point, using delaying tactics to see which direction the wind is blowing, and building a state

The failure of the weishenme to top the cylinder himself? According to the habits of the Ming army, they will not occupy the fertile grassland for a long time, and this fruitful land will not belong to them in the future.

It is not difficult for herdsmen living in the territory to migrate, put away the yurt, drive the cattle and sheep to immediately change a place to graze, to survive, and you can come back at any time if you want to come back, the territory is still the territory of the Mongols, if there is no suppression of the Jianzhou people, the prospect seems to be better.

The Mongolian nobles who were already frightened agreed one after another, but some people disagreed, because this was the territory of the Karaqin tribe, and the leaders of the Karaqin tribe, Gushan Beizi, Zasakgulusqibu, of course, did not agree, but Badali's subsequent words made him only hold his disapproval in his heart.

"Whoever does not obey the order and is willing to fight with the Ming army can do it, but if it leads to boundless strife due to the burning of the body, Ben Khan will not send troops to help in the future. The Ming army was not good at coming, so Ben Khan would send envoys to contact the Ming court to try to avoid the spread of war. Our immortal people belong to this land, and the Ming people are not good at shepherding sheep, so sooner or later they will retreat, and in the future, none of you present will lack their own land for herding horses. ”

The coercion of the Jianzhou people still exists, and Badali's words are very vague, but everyone understands this kind of hidden words. The Ming army did not come to attack the Mongolian tribes, and everyone knew who they were attacking, and the Ming people were not suitable for living in the vast steppe and mountains, and they would definitely have to retreat in the future, so there was no need to fight with them.

Anyone can preserve their strength, and being good at seeing the direction of the wind has always been a major feature of the Mongolian leaders, and the Manchu Xili, who was closest to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was very reluctant, but he knew that his dissatisfaction could not resist the decision of Badali and the vast majority of people. At this very moment, the unity of the upper and lower levels was the choice of the Mongol tribes, so the tens of thousands of Mongol troops gathered together began to slowly retreat, and soon, a knight flew out and rushed to the cavalry of the Ming army.
