The Ming Xiongshi, coming from an expedition, is majestic and majestic.

It was stopped by a white river!

For a while, the whole world was a little inexplicable.

Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty is so powerful now, even the militarily weak Song Dynasty, if it encounters a river like the White River, it will not be stopped and unable to advance.

The White River is not the Yangtze River and the Yellow River!

How could it be possible to stop the army.

But that's the way it is.

As a result, there is a lot of speculation from the outside world, and some people even think that the firearms of the young army are not in the twilight, and when they go to the north, under the influence of the northern environment, a fatal flaw occurs.

That's why the young army will stagnate.

But only Rigunaha on the north bank of the White River knew what the truth was.

He was very uncomfortable.

But he couldn't do anything about it.

Because Li Gu Naha is 100% determined, the current situation was deliberately promoted by Wang Yue, the commander of the young army!

Da Ming wants to win without a fight!

Why......

Rigunaha knew, but he didn't dare tell anyone.

The soldiers of the Dragon Elephant Battalion actually have experience.

During the confrontation of more than 20 days, Li Gunaha ordered his iron cavalry to cross the river several times, strive for the iron cavalry to cross the river, and after defeating the Liaodong iron cavalry, he formed a flanking attack on the young army, so as to form a situation of quick battle and quick victory.

But the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was like crazy, and stopped the Jurchen Iron Cavalry from crossing the river at any cost.

The crossing points found by the Jurchen iron cavalry are guarded by the Liaodong iron cavalry.

Even when crossing the river, in order to prevent the Jurchen Iron Cavalry from landing on the south bank to assemble, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry actually chose to directly use the river shallows of the Baihe River as a sand field after gathering a large army.

Directly ram into it with cavalry.

The cavalry of both sides staged a scene of cavalry colliding in the river.

The point is that the shallows aren't really shallow.

There are also waist-deep.

The cavalry couldn't run up to speed at all, so a picture of the cavalry colliding into the formation turned into a hand-to-hand combat between the two sides in the river, which directly dyed the white river into a red river.

The Jurchen Iron Cavalry suffered thousands of casualties.

Because the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was not familiar with the terrain, the casualties were greater.

But Rao is like this, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry did not take a step back - even the advantage of letting the Jurchen Iron Cavalry go ashore and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry taking the opportunity to collide with the formation was not willing to wait.

It is to fight to the death with the Jurchen Iron Horse.

In fact, Li Gunaha was wrong, not that Han Bin was unwilling to wait.

I don't dare to wait.

In case the Jurchen iron horse comes ashore, and the other side thinks that the opponent has a stable foothold and sends an attack, but the result is a big defeat for the other side, it will not be able to stop the Jurchen follow-up iron horse from crossing the river.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

After setting up a military order, Han Bin did not dare to take this risk.

Therefore, the battle of the cavalry on both sides became a battle of foot soldiers, and the Ming Dynasty was at a disadvantage.

This is understandable.

After all, the Jurchen combat power in this period was indeed off the charts.

And since the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division has not fought a real war for nearly twenty years, and the combat power of the soldiers can be seen, and it is normal to be at a disadvantage.

Since ancient times, the combat power of the Southern Iron Cavalry has been lower than that of the Northern Iron Cavalry.

And if the battle continues like this, sooner or later the Liaodong Iron Cavalry will be exhausted, and the balance of victory will be tilted in favor of the Jurchens, once the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is exhausted, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry can cross the river, and then charge the young army, and at the same time the Dragon Elephant Battalion will launch an attack with all its might.

Under the flanking attack, the so-called superiority of 10,000 troops is meaningless.

But Rigunaha was not happy.

It's just a matter of thinking about it.

The current size of the Ming Dynasty, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry has been defeated repeatedly, and the combat attrition is serious, but the Ming Dynasty can continuously dispatch cavalry troops from the Liaodong Capital Division, because the Ming Dynasty has this strength.

But the Jurchen Iron Cavalry is less and less the more you fight.

In addition, a problem that cannot be ignored is that the young army on the south bank has not yet gained strength at all.

Li Gunaha went to Daming to steal firearm technology

At that time, when the prince of the Ming Dynasty swept the line from west to east from Hami, there was a kind of artillery.

Rigunaha didn't steal the technology.

But that doesn't mean the young army doesn't.

Not only that, but there are definitely more of them.

The two sides have been facing each other for many days, and the young army has never come up with this state-of-the-art artillery.

But that was only what worried Mr. Rigunah, and what really scared him was something else: during the confrontation, there were two heavy rains, and it rained for several days.

Problems arise.

Their own Dongfeng rifles were drenched in rain, or they were stained with dew in rainy weather, and various problems occurred in a large area, and even some Dongfeng rifles were directly unusable.

And that's not all.

Although enough methods have been used to dry and remove moisture, the ammunition in the Dragon Elephant Battalion's reserves is still inevitably retiring, nearly a million rounds of ammunition, and it is estimated that less than half of them can be used!

How can this be fought?

Rigunaha finally knew why the young army had to confront each other across the river when they arrived at the White River.

They're waiting for that to happen.

As the first unit to be equipped with firearms, the Young Army must be familiar with the performance of Dongfeng firearms, and know that heavy rain and wet weather will cause Dongfeng firearms and ammunition to be scrapped on a large scale.

But there was no way back for Rigunah.

On the one hand, according to the conclusive spy report, the Great Snow Iron Cavalry did arrive at Duoyan Sanwei and formed a blockade line, if he fled westward with the Dragon Elephant Battalion, he would be torn by the Heavy Snow Iron Cavalry, and then completely annihilated by the young army that caught up.

Flee east to North Korea?

It's not possible.

Because North Korea has 8,000 troops on the border, if you want to enter Korea, it will be another battle to the death, no matter what the victory or defeat, you will be completely wiped out by the young army that catches up.

There was another reason why Rigunaha did not choose to retreat immediately.

The Dongfeng rifles used by all of them have been scrapped in large quantities, and the young army has come from afar, and the conditions for moisture-proof and drying are not as good as their own, will their Dongfeng rifles not be scrapped?

It will definitely be scrapped in large areas.

So......

The young army did not launch artillery shelling.

Now it depends on who can hold out to the end, no matter who retreats first, they will be pursued by the other party, so as to defeat miserably, the Ming can afford a fiasco, but Li Gunaha can't afford a fiasco.

So he could only resist.

Sitting on the advantage of the right time, place and people, Li Gunaha believes that he will hold out longer than the young army.

At least there is not much logistical pressure.

But if the Ming Dynasty solved the defect of the Dongfeng rifle in just one or two years, and the confrontation of the young army was to use the weather to consume the firearms of the Dragon Elephant Battalion, then Li Gu Naha accepted his fate.

Because such a Ming is invincible.

March, spring.

It was the season of abundant rain, and in just one month of confrontation, it had already rained three times.

And in this month, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry fought in the river of the White River almost every day, one desperately wanted to cross the river, and the other desperately defended.

However, the balance of victory in the iron cavalry battle gradually tilted in favor of the Jurchens.

It also gave Rigunaha hope.

According to the spy report, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division did not send iron cavalry to support - I think it is also, just Liaodong Metropolitan Division, how many iron cavalry can there be, this time I am afraid that it has done its best.

As long as the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is defeated, no matter how many thousand Iron Cavalry are left, it will be the dawn of victory.

And that day, it will be a few days!

Rigunaha finally sees hope!

In the favorite words of His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming, Zhu Jianji: The advantage is mine!
