The observation posts one or two miles away from the two divisions were waiting for this moment, and when the Tiannan Army of the two divisions entered a state of rest, a wisp of green smoke quietly rose from the top of the hill unnoticed. The 80,000 iron cavalry www.biquge.info had been maintaining a hurried marching speed and suddenly divided into two groups, one was a Tubu 10,000-man army, which quickly tossed eastward under the guidance of the guide, heading straight for the Longmen Mountain Pass in the east, while the other 70,000 iron cavalry main force threw off the 2nd Mobile Division, which could no longer keep up with the speed, and suddenly accelerated its speed and swooped straight towards the resting place of the Tiannan Army ten miles away.

The two officers of the Tiannan Army were actually right, as of the time of their conversation, Bashan Mansion had not yet been attacked, and the 50,000 Northwest Iron Cavalry had just approached Bashan Mansion City, while the other 80,000 Iron Cavalry swooped down in the southwest direction with a thunderous momentum, followed by the 2nd Division, which was fully equipped with transport vehicles. This is Liang Chongxin's time difference tactic.

As early as when he learned that the two divisions of Lujiang were on the way to Bashan, Liang Chongxin had already made up his mind, if he attacked Bashan first, he was afraid that the transport convoy would not be able to keep up with the speed, and the infantry could not synchronize with the cavalry, and once Bashan was attacked, he would definitely send a police post to notify the two divisions of the Tiannan Army that were advancing to Bashan。

Therefore, Liang Chongxin used the Gu family's strong connections and intelligence network in Bashan to closely monitor the marching speed of the two divisions of the Tiannan Army entering the Longmen Mountains, and knew that according to the marching speed of the two divisions of the Tiannan Army, it would definitely be after leaving Longmen Mountain, so Liang Chongxin gave the order to attack Bashan a few hours before the Tiannan Army left the mountain, and all 2,000 transport vehicles were given to the Second Division heading eastward to strengthen the mobility of the Second Division, so as to achieve the role of rapid assault. The 1st Division and the 2nd Guards Division followed non-stop behind the 50,000 Mott Iron Cavalry, quickly moving south, although their speed could not keep up with the four-legged Mott cavalry, but as long as the Mott cavalry preemptively controlled the escape passage around Bashan City, the two divisions that followed would come to complete the mission of attacking the city.

Although the Tiannan Army of the two divisions still maintained a certain vigilance, they did not expect an unprecedented surprise attack in their hinterland.

The first thing that noticed something was wrong was the alert unit of the First Division of the First Army of the Tiannan Army, which was responsible for vigilance, as a veteran unit that had been in battle for a long time, the discipline and sense of responsibility formed for a long time made them still maintain a considerable vigilance even when they were most relaxed, even if they knew that it was impossible to be attacked here, but the cautious division commander still sent out mobile sentinels and guard posts according to the usual practice.

It's just that the speed of the northwest cavalry is too fast, when the faint thunderous sound of iron hooves sounded in the open area along the river plain in front, the swimming whistle didn't react for a while, he couldn't believe that there would be so many bison herds here, in his imagination only the bison herd here would cause such a loud noise, after all, the Tiannan army, which lacked horses, had never seen so many cavalry assaults, and even in the entire Tiannan army, only the division directly under the Jiedu envoy was equipped with two formed cavalry wings.

It was not until the roar of the iron hooves became louder and louder, and even the earth began to tremble, and had become a long line on the horizon that was as thick and black as the head of the tide, that the swimming sentry realized that the situation was wrong, and when the terrible whistle sounded, the northwest cavalry had approached less than three miles.

The terrible sound of the alarm suddenly woke up the Tiannan Army, which was half-asleep and half-awake, and everyone, including the two division commanders, did not think back for a while that what was wrong, but the good military discipline made the two division commanders give the alert order at the first time, but due to the lack of a clear target, coupled with excessive fatigue and relaxation, for a time the two divisions could not enter the state according to the usual training speed.

The footsteps of the whole team were almost intertwined with the sound of horses' hooves, and the dense assault cavalry divided into countless attack arrows, fiercely inserted into the defensive phalanx that had not yet been fully formed, and immediately stirred up a vicious wave. The first to run was the first and 20,000 cavalry teams of Mott, which was also the most successful training of Cui Wenxiu's 20,000 lightly armed assault horses, which not only fully retained the characteristics of the Mott people's wild and fierce and skillful bow horses, but also put a lot of effort into formation discipline, changing the inferior surname of the loose discipline of the nomadic cavalry in the past.

And the all-colored horse chopping knife is also Cui Wenxiu saw that the nomadic cavalry had mixed weapons in close combat, and it was not easy to produce a devastating impact when charging collectively (mainly for light armored infantry), so he specially carried out a unified improvement and replaced it with a hundred refining chopping knife produced by Yinchuan Iron Works. The chopping knife is also a relatively common weapon among the nomads, but because the quality of the ordinary chopping knife is unstable, it is easy to roll the blade and break in battle, and it is expensive, so it is impossible to popularize and use it in large quantities under the circumstances at that time. But when the Northwest Army took over the Mott Army, Cui Wenxiu also spared no expense to transform the Mott elite cavalry, retaining its advantages while carrying out regular training from all aspects, the optimization of the weapon is also reasonable, anyway, the problem of the cost of money is not up to him, which also greatly improves the melee combat effectiveness of the Mott cavalry.

When they ran to a distance of 300 meters from the Tiannan army, which was in full formation, the skilled Mott cavalry pulled their bows and arrows, and after shooting three arrows in a row, they skillfully retracted their bows and sheathed them, and changed to the horse chopping knife that the nomadic warriors were best at. This is the innate advantage of the nomads, who can shoot three bows in a row in just three hundred meters, which is a stunt that can only be done by the best light cavalry of the farming people, but it is a very common skill among nomadic riders.

The continuous rain of arrows made the formation of the Tiannan Army, which had not yet had time to fully enter the state, even more chaotic, and the baptism of the roaring arrow rain made the Tiannan Army that had not yet officially engaged the battle suffer heavy losses, and also destroyed the attempt of part of the Tiannan Army to form a defensive front to block the enemy's offensive after countless attack arrows penetrated the defensive team, and the bloody battle began to officially begin.

The fierce surname of the nomadic cavalry was fully displayed in this battle, and the huge impact force made these nomadic cavalry even have a certain power of heavy cavalry in the face of the light armored infantry in the unorganized formation, and each wave of the slashing knife could always see the blood rain and the fall of the stump and the ruined body, the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of the blade crashing were intertwined, wave after wave of shock waves almost every interval of the slam blows, face-to-face battles, swords and shields, flesh and blood, limbs, Skulls have become the least valuable thing here, life seems so fragile here, and when the Confederate army tried their best to organize a defensive line to resist, the sneak attack from behind once again caused them great pain.

Although the surprise attack of the enemy's cavalry made it impossible for them to organize an effective defensive line for a while, the front still stubbornly resisted the Mott cavalry who were divided and killed with flesh and blood. It's just that the enemy is indeed coming too fast, and the Mott cavalry, which is divided into countless assault detachments, took advantage of the fact that the formation of the Tiannan Army was not completed, and quickly cut the Tiannan Army side into several large pieces like a huge cake.

In particular, the 2nd Division of the Tiannan Army, due to the influence of the attitude of the division commander, the officers and men generally believed that this line would not encounter enemy attacks, and they were also in a state of unvigilant laxity when resting, and when the enemy attack came, they did not even figure out where the attack came from, and they hurriedly began to form a disorderly formation, and they did not even have time to defend against the first wave of Mott's cavalry, so it led to the Mott cavalry directly and easily penetrated from the wing of the 2nd Division, and the incompetence and exhaustion of the front army became the best embodiment of the 2nd Division's encounter. Rao is soldiers of the second division fought bravely, but how could the individual defense that did not form an organic whole be able to withstand the cavalry that attacked in groups, this heroic act seemed very helpless and heroic, but it did not have much significance.

And when Mott's cavalry had already divided and surrounded the two Tiannan army divisions, the relieved Tiannan army realized how difficult it was to organize a defensive line at this time. No matter how the two legions lacking hoplites organize an effective defense, they will always be bravely broken through by the nomadic cavalry who are desperately rushing, and the impact of each assault arrow chopping knife with the help of healthy horses is like countless huge sickles cutting the already exhausted Tiannan Army into countless pieces, and it is around these separate nomadic cavalry of the Tiannan Army that they use the way of swimming impact to break through the strangulation from all angles in turn.

Even in the case of a sudden attack, the Tiannan army is not without the power to fight back, there are still a few vigilant subordinates surnamed Gao and the officer's ability to organize a defensive formation in the short period of time when the front resists the impact of the enemy cavalry, but these defensive circles and defense points are scattered, unable to form a defensive line of the overall surname, especially after the Mott cavalry is divided and surrounded, these lonely small groups appear to be even more weak, and the huge difference in strength is not that blood and courage can be changed, especially in front of the enemy whose bravery and blood are no less than their own side, this disadvantage is even more obvious, like a sharp knife peeling a fruit, turning round after round, constantly turning the body composed of countless blood and life into dust.
