Chapter 391: Facing the Mongol cavalry that acted as the Hetaokou
Dai Qiang said: "They are all several tribes under the jurisdiction of the Tumut Department, and this one with five hundred horsemen comes from a medium-sized tribe called Insertion Han, and their leader is named Insertion Han Hudun Rabbit, which means the great warrior of Insertion Han." ”
Chongzhen grinned: "Insert the Han Tiger Dun Rabbit? It's really interesting, do you know that there is an old saying in my Han family? ”
Zhou Yuji chuckled and said, "The lion fights the rabbit." ”
Huang Xiaoyi laughed and said, "We have tigers and black bears, and we are a group of lions from the Liaodong grassland who came from the Liaodong grassland to hunt next door in the northwest. General, is it okay for subordinates to talk to themselves like this? ”
Chongzhen encouraged: "I'm glad that you are not willing to be just my follower. ”
After Yuan Jiu brought Chongzhen and the others here, he once again dutifully explored the enemy's situation. After welding with the sentinel in front, he came back and reported: "General, fifteen miles to the northwest, I have found enemy horsemen, numbering thousands. ”
At the moment of the great enemy, they did not seem to have an advantage in terms of their troops or numbers, but there was not the slightest panic in Yuan Jiu's voice, there was only endless calmness, and there was also the urgency to wait for battle.
The blood in his body gradually warmed up because of the discovery of the enemy, and finally boiled.
The rest of the Guanning iron horses are also as good as that.
Finally about to face the legendary Mongolian cavalry head-on, Chongzhen was also very excited, got up and looked in the direction of the enemy, seemed to hear the horse's hooves, and laughed: "Good guy, it's using our Xiaoqiang as bait." ”
Dai Qiang hurriedly said: "General......"
Chongzhen waved his hand to comfort him and said, "It's okay, we can't ask for it." Is there any news of General He Huchen? ”
"I can't get in touch at this time."
"Good fellow, where is this Northwest Tiger in style? I hope he just hides his whereabouts, otherwise if he misses this good opportunity to completely annihilate the enemy's horse, Lao Tzu is the only one who asks. Go, go back to the camp, and face the battle. ”
"No."
The stretcher team carried Dai Qiang to the army and walked first, while Chongzhen and others turned over and followed behind to protect them, which is the core change that Chongzhen brought to the Guanning Army - the team spirit of not abandoning and not giving up.
Huang Zongxi put on the blue-gray cloth armor given to him by Zu Dashou and put it on his body neatly, and a slender logistics officer turned into a backup Guanning iron rider in an instant.
Not to mention the copper plate and iron shield, even Wang Hu and other heroes who had known him for a long time were stunned, and at the same time, they also had a new expectation for the heritage of His Royal Highness King Xin.
Sure enough, the baggage teams were put on their horses, and none of the horses that were carrying what looked like grain carts were wasted, and all of them became the mounts of the Han family, who loved peace and was not afraid of fighting.
They will ride these equally peace-loving horses and fight to the end against the enemies who disturb the border.
Chongzhen brought the news of the discovery of the enemy situation back to this Chinese army, which was also less than 400 people.
But no one was afraid, even the most honest peasant soldiers were only slightly nervous, and the hands holding the iron shield and spear were even more firm, after all, it was the legendary Hetao Kou!
Huang Zongxi squinted at one of the peasant soldiers and said, "Are you afraid?" ”
As if he had been greatly humiliated, the peasant soldier suddenly said angrily: "Lao Tzu is not afraid! Don't talk about Lao Tzu, you stingy baggage soldiers and firehead soldiers are actually bait! ”
Huang Zongxi laughed and said, "Hahaha, do you think that what is wrapped under the tarpaulin is completely a pile of grain?" Do you think King Xin will be like King Yan Chengzu, bringing a lot of grain into the desert to find the remnants of Meng Yuan?
No! Your Highness's style is not like this, only a small number of troops and piles of food can attract the enemy to take the initiative to attack, and it will be done in one battle, Your Highness has never liked to do that cave entrance to grind! ”
"What's in that car? What kind of person is our Highness? ”
"You'll know what's in the car later, and you'll be surprised by the safekeeping! As for His Highness's style of acting, to be honest, I can't figure it out, and I just follow it loyally! ”
"Good!" Not only this peasant soldier, but also the rest of the peasants who are transforming from the natives of the northwest to the guardians and pioneers of the northwest all responded loudly.
Chongzhen chose a small high slope as the place to line up, waiting for work at ease, and quietly waiting for the arrival of Hetaokou.
About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of horses striking the earth was faintly heard from the depths of the Gobi, from far and near, from dull to rumbling, and the two peasant formations were still inevitably nervous, and the palms of the hands holding the weapons were full of sweat, and even the sound of swallowing dry saliva could be heard.
Iron Shield and Tong Pan felt very embarrassed, so they loudly cheered for their respective subordinates, and compared each other, which successfully aroused the psychology of comparison between people.
After another quarter of an hour, the figure of the Hetao finally appeared on the horizon where the air began to burn with a whining and whining.
Chongzhen snapped his fingers, and Zhou Yuji immediately shouted: "Array!" ”
In fact, the military formation had already been lined up, in an extremely solemn posture.
With a loud shout of iron shields and copper plates, the military formation was unfolded, and in a very powerful posture, they were united like a big tiger on the northwest ground.
At the same time, Huang Zongxi also shouted: "Array!" ”
In the midst of the big eyes of the iron shield fluttering, the small eyes of the copper plate squinting, and the eyes of all the peasant soldiers, the tarpaulin on the frame of the baggage team was finally completely uncovered, one, two, three, four, five, a total of five, and it was a cannon.
"What's this black bump?" A short-sighted farmer asked humbly.
Tie Dun immediately said angrily: "Melon coward, that's a cannon, shut up you!" ”
"Cannons? Bombarded the red-clothed cannon of the slave chief under the city of Ningyuan in Liaodong? The eyes of all the Northwest peasants lit up, and they were instantly full of confidence for the upcoming battle.
"How can you need a red-coated cannon? This is a tiger squat cannon developed by my own Ming Dynasty and improved by the Firearms Bureau! The wind blew the Lingqi in Huang Zongxi's hand to the hunt, and this Jiangnan scholar was in a rage, and shouted again, "The army is in front of the battle!" ”
The baggage team was actually a very large and mixed army, and the auxiliaries immediately pushed the large version of the gun carriage with light cannons in front of the infantry formation.
This move not only made the Iron Shield Copper Plate Formation extremely surprised, but even the Wang Hu Formation was very confused, but the Guanning Iron Cavalry, including Xinwang Chongzhen, had a calm face, ready to launch the sharpest charge at any time.
The enemy's horses' hooves had no intention of stopping, and soon they were getting closer and closer, apparently boasting that they had heard the truth of this "lamb" team, and wanted to swallow it in one gulp, so as to feed the war.
