"Over there...... Han? ”

"No matter who it is, if you want to fill the trench, you will eat cannons. Boom me! ”

Not only the Han slaves, but also the Horqin tribesmen, all of whom were forced to fill in the trenches. Around the Datong military camp, there were dense trench-filling armies everywhere, and all the artillery was pulled out to bombard, which was obviously insufficient.

In one morning, the cannon fodder in charge of filling the trenches killed and wounded nearly 2,000 people.

Many casualties were inflicted even on the edge of the trenches. They had already poured dirt into the trenches, and then they were fired upon by firearms, and large swaths fell, and when their morale collapsed, they turned and fled.

Darhan again found Chahun Dorji: "Great Khan, if you fill it up like this, you will definitely not be able to capture the enemy camp in two days." According to the soldiers who filled the trenches, they were told that the Han army had poured a large number of iron nails (thistles) behind the trenches. After the iron nails, many rejected horses and chariots were introduced. Even if these are breached, there will still be the wooden wall of the Han army. In three days at most, reinforcements from the Han Chinese will definitely arrive. ”

Chahudorji hesitated, he already felt that the camp in front of him was very tricky.

It is mainly a matter of vision, these Khalkha Mongols, who used to live along the Harakha River (the boundary river between Inner Mongolia and Mongolia). About a hundred years ago, they successively moved to Mobei, and although they went south several times to plunder, the targets of the robbery were all Mongol tribes in southern Mo, who had not fought with the Han people for nearly a hundred years.

In Chahun Dorji's established thinking, fighting a war is nothing more than those few tricks. Even if he fought with the Manchus, every time the Manchus took the initiative to attack, it was impossible to bring too many chariots and chariots to fight positional warfare.

This is the first time in nearly 100 years that the Khalkha Mongol cavalry has taken the initiative to go south to confront the Han Chinese.

Trench? Haven't seen it.

Artillery? Firebolt? I've seen it, but I've never seen it so dense.

Tribulus terrestris? What's that?

The chariots that blocked the cavalry in a formation had never been heard of by Chahun Dorji.

If he continues to attack like this, even if he can break through the Han army's camp, the Han reinforcements will come and surround him.

The four biscuits thrown out by Zhang Tieniu and Li Dingguo were bait. There are only two purposes, one is to block the enemy's passage to the west, and the other is to drag the enemy and wait for reinforcements.

After careful consideration, Chahun Dorji said: "Tomorrow continue to fill the trenches, leaving some cavalry to feint. The remaining elite main forces, as well as the troops ambushed in the mountains, all went south to intercept and kill the reinforcements of the Han Chinese. We are all cavalry, we can't fight the Han people's camp, we should fight the Han people in the open grassland! ”

……

The reinforcements from the south, which went very slowly, were scattered everywhere and needed time to assemble.

Li Zheng couldn't wait for all the troops to be assembled, so he only took three divisions of infantry and several divisions of dragoons to the north at a decent pace.

This battle is still so cautious, the infantry and logistics troops, carefully marching in the center. More than 10,000 dragoons, scattered in all directions, probing everywhere for the enemy's tracks.

With Li Zheng as the main general of the reinforcements, he may not be able to rush to the rescue, but he will definitely not be ambushed.

About 300 miles northwest of Tongliao in later times, the pathfinder cavalry of the two armies collided. There were not many people, there were hundreds of each, and their first reaction was to send someone back to report the news, and the rest cautiously began to approach.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Datong dragoons were the first to release their guns, and then turned around to distance themselves.

The Khalkha cavalry was shot and fell more than a dozen people, and they were shocked and angry, and immediately pursued them. After chasing three or four miles, the nearby dragoons heard the sound of gunfire and came to support, and the Khalkha cavalry hurriedly fled when they saw this.

This is an appetizer and is negligible.

Both sides found out each other's approximate location, gathered their forces and gradually approached, and finally met in the territory of the Zalut Banner.

The terrain here is not flat, and the grasslands are undulating. There are many grassy mounds and occasional hills, but on the whole they are conducive to cavalry charges.

The reinforcements led by Li Zheng were besieged in a mound.

The headquarters was set up on the mound, and the artillery was distributed on the slightly outer slopes, so that they could fire at the battlefield from a high position. Logistics civilians and civilian personnel are all protected in the middle. Further periphery are the infantry, and outside the infantry there is a chariot defensive array, and beyond the chariots are the horses and thistles.

Looking at the turtle array in front of him, Chahun Dorji had a headache.

Eighty years ago, Qi Jiguang was ordered to Jizhen as the chief soldier, that is, on the original turtle formation of the Ming army, a large number of firearms troops were increased, and the Mongols over there were completely lost temper. Now, the Datong Army has not only learned, but also continued to increase the proportion of firearms troops.

"Great Khan, are you still fighting?" Murgen asked.

Chahun Dorji said, "You have to try, call Lama Shishi!" ”

Lama Shishi galloped to the horse, turned over and dismounted, and bowed.

Chahun Dorji pointed to the turtle formation in front of him and asked, "How do the Han soldiers fight?" ”

"Yes." Lama Shishi replied.

Chahun Dorji asked, "How to break through?" ”

Lama Shihe said: "It cannot be attacked by cavalry, and it is necessary to make chariots." The Jianzhou Jurchen used a chariot to cover the soldiers to advance forward, and then shot arrows when they got closer, disrupting the formation of the Han soldiers. Then go and pick up the thistles, which are strung together with ropes and can pick up a large piece of it. After clearing the thistle terrestris, and then pushing the horses and chariots away, you can rush in and fight the Han soldiers. ”

"So troublesome?" Chahun Dorji Road.

Lama Shishi said: "There is another way, gather a large number of artillery pieces and use cannonballs to blow up the formation of the Han soldiers. ”

There were no chariots and no large number of artillery pieces in Tsakhundorji.

Lama Shishi continued: "This kind of chariot of the Han army can also transport baggage when marching. Food, armor, loaded on the cart can be transported. When there is a battle, the baggage is unloaded and the cart is pushed to the periphery to form a chariot formation. With so many chariots at present, the Han army's grain and grass are estimated to be sufficient, and it is impossible to run out of food for ten days and half a month. ”

To encircle the point and send reinforcements, you must also be able to move.

Chahun Dorji's ancestors, in the face of this routine, suffered a big loss from Zhu Di.

At that time, Zhu Di did not have so many chariots, and Zhu Di did not have so many artillery. However, the infantry formed a chariot formation, bombarded the charging Mongolian cavalry, supplemented by bows and arrows and firearms, and after messing up the Mongolian cavalry formation, the Daming iron cavalry took the opportunity to rush out. The Ming army's tortoise formation against the Mongols was initially explored little by little.

How can Khalkha Mongolia not revise history books, there are no relevant detailed records. Two or three hundred years have passed, and only by experiencing it can he feel the helplessness of his ancestors.

"Try it first," ordered Chahun Dorji, and Mergen went around to the east, Durhan to the west, Gulu Shixi to the south, and I personally led the army to the north. Attack from all sides, shoot more arrows, and see if you can mess up the formation of the Han soldiers. Don't be afraid of death, if you die too much, just feint and run away, and lure the Han soldiers out of the car formation! ”

Standing on the top of the hill and watching the Mongol cavalry around him move, Li Zheng said to the heralds: "Tell the troops that they are not allowed to pursue." Without my order, the enemy army will not be able to chase after it when it is scattered. Our mission is not to annihilate the enemy, but to rescue friendly forces and hold them back. Whoever dares to pursue without authorization, I will cut off his head! ”

Murgen and Durhan obviously have the idea of preserving their strength.

Instead, it went around to Gulu Shixi in the south, which is more head-on. He traveled the farthest distance, but he was the first to attack, and more than 3,000 horsemen lined up in a loose formation to try to charge.

"Boom, boom!"

Conventional field artillery, at a distance of five or six hundred meters, began to fire shells. The battle was large, but the damage caused was limited.

About 300 meters or so, the Tiger Squat Cannon also fired scattered bombs.

Further on, there was a round of three rounds of firearms.

These Mongolian soldiers who charged tentatively were already unable to bear before they could reach the range of their bows and arrows. They all took the initiative to slow down and swept diagonally in front of the Datong army, leaving more than 300 corpses on the grass.

Gu Lushi's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "Don't rush again, go back and report the sweat, just say that this kind of car formation can't rush!" ”

There is no need for him to report the battle situation, and Chahun Dorji's side has already been tested.

Chahun Dorji said: "It seems that the hard rush cannot be moved, and it can only lure the enemy out. Let the troops storm and kill a few more people, and then the whole army will be defeated and flee. If tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are thrown away, I don't believe that the Han soldiers can hold back and not chase after them. As long as the Han soldiers dare to chase them, I will wipe them all out! ”

The real battle has finally begun.

Small tribes incorporated along the way, even small tribes of Khalkha Mongolia, were ordered to launch a suicidal charge.

Again and again it was routed, again and again it charged.

Gulu Shixi was on fire, and even led the headquarters to attack. Of course, he was still a little sensible, and he rushed to the area of thistle terrestris when the artillery was fired, and then there was the chariot array, and there were pikemen behind the chariot array.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Not only were the firecrackers firing in a volley, but even the grenadiers went into battle and threw bombs at the rushing cavalry.

In just an instant, Gulu Shixi's troops were on their backs. This man was in good spirits and was not injured, but he was also sobered up by the explosion, and quickly slowed down and wanted to flee the battlefield.

"Hiss!"

The war horse under Gu Lu Shixi's crotch suddenly let out a sad roar, but it was the horse's paw pierced by the thistle.

The younger brother of the Khalkha Khan was violently thrown off by the war horse and landed on the two thistles. an iron thistle, piercing his back; Another thistle, pierced the back of his head.

As soon as the commander died, the army immediately fled.

It's not a feint, it's a real rout.

The Datong Army, which was defending in the south, followed Li Zheng's order and stood in place without pursuing at all.

The other Mongol cavalry, which also paid a heavy price, fled in a panic under the leadership of the main general. In order to play realistically, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were thrown near the battlefield - this tactic of luring the enemy was tried and tested against the Mongol tribes, and no tribal leader could resist the temptation of tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

To tell the truth, if the Datong army leader is replaced by Zhang Tieniu or Huang Qi, there is a great possibility that they will take the risk of chasing and killing.

But they met Li Zheng, a guy who would rather miss the fighter plane than take the army to risk.

Chahun Dorji led the army to "escape" for several miles, looked back at the rear, and said in surprise and anger: "The Han soldiers did not chase after them? ”

After observing for a long time and making sure that the Datong army did not pursue, Chahun Dorji gathered the army again and went back to pick up the cattle and sheep he had thrown down.

He sent a sentry to observe closely, and the sentry came back and reported: "Great Khan, the Han army not only did not pursue, but also dug a trench outside the car array. ”

Hearing this, Chahun Dorji was extremely depressed, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

You're disgusting enough to put up that turtle formation, and you're going to fucking dig a trench around the perimeter? Do you want to spend the winter in this place?
