Chapter 203: Battle!
Gui Yingcha excitedly led 10,000 cavalry galloping on the way to pursue Huang Taiji.
Chasing Huang Taiji is quite exciting just thinking about it.
If this battle can kill Huang Taiji, my Guiyingcha's name will resound throughout Mongolia.
War horses galloped across the grassland, getting closer and closer to Huang Taiji's troops.
Huang Taiji has repaired the fortifications.
It is said to be a fortification, but in fact it is to pile up ox carts and some sundries on the periphery to prevent the cavalry from advancing through it.
By the time Gui Yingcha arrived with his troops, Huang Taiji had already set up his posture and was waiting for his arrival.
According to the agreement, after he launched an attack, the Ming army led by Cao Wenzhao would attack from the rear of Huang Taiji as soon as possible, so after Gui Yingcha arrived at the battlefield, he immediately launched an attack on Huang Taiji's camp.
Seeing that there was an obstacle set up in front of the opponent's formation, the Mongolian cavalry did not charge directly into the formation, but separated from the middle and left and right, circled in front of the Eight Banners who were waiting for the formation, drew their bows and shot arrows.
However, the power and accuracy of the cavalry archery are quite touching, and there are very few arrows in the Eight Banners, but the Mongolian soldiers were shot to death by the Eight Banners archers with strong bows.
That's not all, Huang Taiji ordered Mang Gurtai and Ao Bai to lead 4,000 cavalry each to raid the Mongol soldiers from the left and right flanks. The Mongol soldiers, who were about to go around again and shoot two arrows, collided head-on with the elite Eight Banners cavalry.
Ao Bai and Mang Gurtai Mou led people to kill the Mongol cavalry who inserted the Han, but at the moment of contact, they made a judgment. The gap between the two sides was quite obvious, and the Mongol cavalry of the Han was not an opponent at all.
The cavalry of the Eight Banners gritted their teeth one by one, and the grievances of the past few days turned into the motivation to fight on the battlefield at this time, as if only the blood of the enemy could soothe the hatred in their hearts.
On the other hand, the Mongolian cavalry of the Han Dynasty was about to weaken by three points, and I thought that they had come to beat the water dog, but I didn't expect this dog to be so fierce. Coupled with the lack of top generals in the army, Ao Bai and Mang Gurtai boosted morale, when facing the opponent's 8,000 people, the 10,000 Mongol cavalry of the Han Dynasty did not seem to have the slightest advantage.
"Badali, at this time, the defeat of the Han cavalry has appeared, you can lead the troops to support."
Huang Taiji gave an order to Badali, who was watching the battle. Badali naturally had nothing to say, and led the Horqin cavalry under his command to rush to the battlefield.
Gui Yingcha in the team began to get anxious.
If you continue to fight like this, you will have to collapse sooner or later, why hasn't Cao Da's soldiers come yet.
Just thinking about it, Gui Yingcha heard the sound of horses' hooves again, and he looked in the direction where the sound came from in surprise, thinking that Cao Wenzhao's people had arrived. It turned out to be five thousand Korqin Mongol cavalry from Badali who joined the battle group!
Gui Yingcha was desperate.
Lao Cao, Lao Cao, you don't want to trap me!
With the addition of the Horqin Mongol cavalry, the pressure of the Han Mongol cavalry increased sharply, and the rout became more and more obvious. Ao Bai rode a war horse and rushed left and right in the crowd, and wherever he passed, there was no one who could. Badali is not a mediocre hand, a saber cracks left and right, and it is also ferocious.
Seeing that the other party's defeat was decided, Huang Taiji had a smile on his face.
In the field, the Eight Banners really didn't fear anyone.
Thinking of this, the Ming army's dragoons with firearms unconsciously came to mind.
Except for those who are inhuman.
But sadly, the rear of the camp again remembered the rumbling hooves of horses. Huang Taiji reluctantly turned around and saw the iconic red armor of the Ming army.
Huang Taiji's face has changed greatly! Obviously, according to the scout's investigation, except for himself and the two sides of the Han Dynasty, there were no troops of other forces within a radius of dozens of miles. Where did this brigade of cavalry of the Ming army come from? He wanted to give the order to let Aobai return to defense, but the battle was already in a stalemate, and the two sides were entangled, so it was so easy to withdraw.
He asked his infantry to turn around and face the Ming cavalry, ready to defend to the death, and buy time for the cavalry to come back.
Badali, who was not deeply entangled with the Han cavalry, also noticed the situation on Huang Taiji's side, but he hesitated in the face of the surging Ming cavalry like fire.
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. He was a little worried.
But after thinking about it, at this time, they have the advantage in terms of numbers and situation, if they don't listen to orders, Huang Taiji is afraid that he will be angry with the Horqin Department. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left the battlefield with his cavalry. met the 10,000 cavalry led by Cao Wenzhao.
"Change Jiao, lead 3,000 horsemen, and kill them."
Cao Wenzhao saw that Badali led his troops to block the attack, and immediately ordered his nephew Cao Bianjiao to meet him.
"Yes! Total Soldiers! ”
Cao Bianjiao excitedly took the order.
He didn't catch up with Jiannu's entry into the customs and Liaoshen's several major battles, and finally encountered the opportunity to make contributions at this time, how could he not grasp it. I saw him take the lead, his bright red cloak hunting in the wind, and he aimed directly at the leading Badali.
When he got closer and closer to Badali, Cao Bianjiao grabbed the horse's belly, and the war horse suddenly accelerated its speed, and he came to Badali in an instant. Then Cao Bianjiao's spear came out like a dragon, and a spear went straight to Badali's throat. At the critical moment, Badali tilted his head and avoided the vital point, but his neck was grazed by the blade of the gun, and blood immediately flowed. Badali was so frightened that he couldn't imagine that the opponent's gun was so fierce, and he could injure himself with a single shot. Badali did not dare to fight him again, turned around, and quickly left the battlefield.
Cao Bianjiao couldn't strike a blow, his speed did not decrease at all, and he rushed into the opponent's camp with people and horses.
Every spear attack will inevitably take a human life.
The cavalry of the 3,000 Ming Army behind him was equally fierce, all wearing heavy armor and holding swords made of stainless steel. Under the leadership of Cao Bianjiao, he frantically slashed and killed the Horqin Mongol cavalry.
In a matter of moments, 5,000 Horqin Mongol cavalry were killed. Cao Bianjiao laughed loudly, led the team in a circle, and rushed towards the other party again. Badali commanded in the center under the protection of his own soldiers, the blood on his neck soaked through his collar, and his heart had already begun to retreat.
They followed Huang Taiji to help, not to die.
On the other side, the cavalry led by Cao Wenzhao also came to Jiannu's formation in front of the rain of arrows. Cao Wenzhao did not order the cavalry to charge, but 3,000 dragoons in the center, and 4,000 cavalry on both sides.
Three thousand dragoons lined up, stood in place and began to shoot.
Huang Taiji gritted his teeth hatefully.
Firearms again!
As the guns rang out, rows and rows of soldiers fell to the ground, and the Jiannu soldiers in the field became completely targeted. Huang Taiji once again urged Mang Gurtai and Ao Bai, who were fighting, to return to defense.
Aobai and Mang Gultai also knew that the situation was not good when they heard the gunshots, and they had to disperse the opposing dragoons. So he desperately gathered his men and tried to get out of the battlefield. But Guiying saw Cao Wenzhao coming, and suddenly became energetic. Haha laughed.
"Sons! The dragoons of the Ming Dynasty are coming! They want to escape! Don't let them go! ”
It doesn't matter if he can't be scared, he screamed, but he was targeted by Aobai. Ao Bai, who was in a hurry, immediately led people to kill him in the direction where he was. When Gui Ying saw it, he was so frightened that his soul was gone, and he hurriedly turned around and wanted to stay away from Aobai. Seeing this, Ao Bai took off the bow on his back, aimed at Gui Yingcha, the bow pulled the full moon, and shot an arrow, hitting Gui Yingcha's heart.
Gui Yingcha screamed "ah" and fell off his horse.
Seeing this, Ao Bai shouted.
"Your leader is dead! Don't dodge it yet! ”
When the Han Mongolian cavalry took a look, they found that Gui Yingcha's war horse was empty, and they immediately panicked. Ao Bai and Mang Gurtai took the opportunity to leave the battlefield with their men and quickly killed the Ming army.
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
When Cao Wenzhao saw the other party coming, he immediately ordered the dragoons to stay away from the battlefield, and he led four thousand cavalry to meet them!
After a battle just now, the cavalry led by Mang Gurtai and the two lost nearly a thousand people, and now there are only a little more than 7,000 left. But Cao Wenzhao's face was fearless, he took the lead, and the two sides collided together.
The Jiannu cavalry had a clear numerical advantage, but the armor rate of the soldiers was less than half. The cavalry of the Ming army, although small in number, were all fully armed.
Four thousand against seven thousand, without falling behind in the slightest.
If that's all there is to it, three thousand dragoons roam around the battlefield, finding their target and firing a shot from time to time. It caused great trouble to the Jiannu cavalry. But fortunately, the two sides were entangled, and the dragoons did not dare to fire at will.
Seeing this, Huang Taiji couldn't sit still anymore.
He directly ordered the infantry to rush out of the fortifications and surround Cao Wenzhao's 4,000 cavalry when their mobility was greatly reduced. The battle has reached this point, Huang Taiji has no worries, if he can't defeat the Ming army quickly, he may die here. I can't care so much, and I have to pile them to death with people.
The previous two attacks on Pangu lost 4,000 men, and the archers and cavalry combined at this time had more than 10,000 men. directly surrounded Cao Wenzhao's 4,000 cavalry in the center of the battlefield.
Cao Wenzhao was not afraid at all, and led his subordinates to rush left and right in the encirclement, constantly killing the soldiers of the Eight Banners.
Although the dragoons on the periphery kept firing, the casualties in the encirclement inevitably increased.
As for the form, it seems that it is not very good.
At this moment, the Han Mongolian cavalry, which had just been panicked, rushed over again.
The leader is none other than Gui Yingcha, who has just fallen from his horse.
