Chapter 462: A Scattered Preparatory Forbidden Army
No one is born to kill enemies, and you always need to exercise slowly.
But then again, the border army of the Great Song Dynasty also lacked training, perhaps because it had not fought with the Liao State for too many years, and now even the border army is a little timid, which is a terrible thing.
However, since the young marshal is here, hehe, these people will not lack opportunities to exercise.
"Captain, Meng Qi is here." A scout who was putting his ear to the ground suddenly got up and reported to Wang Yi.
"Okay, everyone get ready, take out all the bows and arrows that you just captured, once the Mengqi appears, and enters the killing range of our bows and arrows, shoot hard, and if you can kill one by one, count one." Wang Yi showed an excited look on his face at the moment.
This scene fell into Zhang Qi's eyes, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, "This is really a group of killing gods." ”
Mon rode here.
Mandu Latu took two thousand Mongolian horsemen from Xincheng to Yangxingzhai.
Gerly acted as the vanguard, leading the way with two hundred horsemen, wanting to avenge his previous losses.
I already knew the terrain of Yangxing Village, and when Gree appeared, he came to the west gate of the village, and then the cavalry began to line up.
When the rows of Mongolian cavalry seemed to be innumerable, the Song soldiers in the village who watched this scene looked nervous. Except for Wang Yi's twelve, the others couldn't help but tremble all over their bodies, perhaps nervous, or scared, or a little excited.
"Don't move yet, wait until Meng Qi is close before shooting." Wang Yisheng was afraid that the target would be exposed too early, so he and his eleven comrades-in-arms kept talking to the other Song soldiers around him.
"What about people? Didn't you say that there are the elite of Song soldiers here? Why didn't you see it? Mandu Ratu rode up to Gli's side and asked disapprovingly.
"General, they are inside the wall, and they will only appear when we attack."
"Okay, that's it, you lead people to charge, if these elites appear, we will suppress the army and destroy them." Mandu Ratu nodded and gave the order.
"Yes." Gurley agreed, and then shouted to the two hundred horsemen beside him: "Everyone be careful of the archers for a while, now the whole army is moving forward." ”
Two hundred horsemen, divided into four columns, each column of fifty horsemen, a certain distance between the horses and the horses, this is in a fan-shape, which marches forward little by little.
As soon as this side moved, suddenly the earth trembled, and then in the southeast of them, a large number of cavalry was slain.
These cavalrymen wore the red armor of the Song army, and under the sun's rays, they flashed patches of red from time to time.
The Reserve Praetorian Army appeared.
Regardless of their combat effectiveness, they were still in good shape, and everyone brought a set of armor with them when they went out to fight, and from a distance, it was quite impressive.
But the actual situation is that Yang Wenguang and others are scolding while galloping. Without it, he didn't want to charge so early, because he hadn't seen Meng Qi and the defenders of Yangxing Village fight together, in case they rushed out, what if Meng Qi fled.
What can't stand it is that as soon as Meng Qi appeared, his soldiers couldn't help it.
They only think about meritorious service, they only think about being heroes, and forget about the fact that they cannot attack without a military order.
First, two or three horsemen rushed out, followed by more and more cavalry rushed out, in desperation, Yang Wenguang was afraid that his brothers would suffer, so he had to give the order and the army charged together.
The reserve forbidden army came out one step in advance, and in the eyes of Wang Yi in Yangxing Village, he couldn't help but curse secretly, ", what are you doing when you come out so early, we haven't entangled them yet, so we're not afraid that they will run away?" ”
Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it. There are really reinforcements, so you don't have to worry about your own safety.
Mandu Latu, who was outside the wall, also saw the 4,000 reserve forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty rushing from afar, which really startled him.
Especially the centurion Gree, who immediately gave up the attack on Yangxing Village, ran to the front of Mandu Latu and said: "General, the Song army really has an ambush here, otherwise we should withdraw first." ”
"Withdraw? Why withdraw? Mandu Ratu glanced at Gurly in disbelief. Isn't it the cavalry of the Song Army, it's not that they haven't fought before, and their combat power is like that. ”
When the Mongolian army first entered the Song realm, it did encounter some Song cavalry.
There were also battles between the two sides, which of course ended in a Mongol victory.
In that battle, although Mandu Latu did not participate, he heard from his comrades that the Song army's war horses were not good, and the strength of the cavalry was also very average, so it was not a big deal to really start.
These words were written down by Mandu Latu, and he was thinking that if he had the opportunity, he would like to meet these Song cavalry for a while to see if they were really so vulnerable.
Unexpectedly, now the opportunity has come.
It's just that Mandu Latu is not stupid, he will not really believe that the Song cavalry is incompetent because of a few words from his comrades. At this time, he was observing the 4,000 cavalry from far and near.
Whether the cavalry is strong or not, those who really understand the army can see one or two.
For example, the speed at which they run, the formation they run in, and so on.
It's not good if it's fast, it's too fast, and the power of the war horse is overdrawn in advance, and it's easy to suffer when it's time to really fight.
If the formation is chaotic, it will not work, we must advance in mutual protection, if it is too chaotic, it will not be able to form a joint force at all, and it is easy to be broken through by the enemy.
With these few points of understanding, Mandu Latu looked up and saw the results that surprised him. These Song cavalry had a fierce impact and a lot of morale, but the formation was very scattered, some of them were fast and some were slow, and there was no coordination at all.
And they have no intention of controlling the speed of the horse at all, don't you know, running down like this, the speed is there, but the load of the war horse will be very large, and when the battle really starts for a while, it will not be able to play its full state.
These are some of the most basic common sense, but the Song cavalry in front of them is still stained, so this cavalry is either really elite, deliberately so, in order to show weakness.
Or maybe it's a rookie who hasn't been in battle at all.
So which one is it?
Mandu Latu was still weighing in his heart, but Gree on the side said anxiously, "General, let's withdraw quickly, otherwise we won't have a chance to withdraw when they rush over." ”
"No, now, rush over with your cavalry, I want to see what his strength is."
Mandu Ratu finally decided to take a gamble.
Up to now, the Mengcai has not had a large-scale annihilation of the Song cavalry, so if he does it himself, his reputation will definitely spread throughout Mongolia, and he will be a hero at that time, and at that time he may be promoted from two thousand to five thousand, and even ten thousand is not impossible.
Just for the sake of safety, Manduraro did not take the army with him, but only Paigli took his two hundred cavalry to make a test. If these Song cavalry were really powerful, he would turn around and leave, and it would be a big deal to lose two hundred cavalry.
On the contrary, if these Song cavalry are just a showman, hehe, then he will attack and eat a big piece of fat.
"Ahh
Gurley looked surprised when his name was called.
actually let himself lead the charge with his team, but there were obviously thousands of cavalry on the opposite side, and he only had two hundred people, didn't he go to die?
"Go, try their catties, don't worry, I'll give you a pressure on the back." Mandu Ratu's voice sounded again, a little more determined than before.
He really wanted to see how strong the Song cavalry was, and this kind of temptation was extremely necessary, so that when he encountered the Song cavalry in the future, he would know how to do it.
Gree pulled a face, and cursed in his heart, Mandu Ratu, why don't you die. It's just that the military order has been issued, and he still has to obey. "Mengqi, charge with me."
The Yangxing Village that was close in front of him was no longer attacked, and Gree set his sights on the four thousand cavalry of the Reserve Forbidden Army.
With a shout, the two hundred Mongolian cavalry turned around and rushed towards the Song cavalry coming from the southeast. At this moment, each of them had a dead look on their faces, obviously they didn't think they would be able to live this time.
"Two hundred cavalry, who do you look down on, encircle." Yang Wenguang galloped among the cavalry, and saw that Meng Cai saw that he did not run, but only sent two hundred horsemen to send him to death, and he was overjoyed at the moment, so he shouted around and issued a military order.
But when he finished shouting, Yang Wenguang sadly found that it had no effect.
These cavalry around him did whatever they should do, that is, they did not mean to encircle, and no one looked at Yang Wenguang, but continued to urge the war horse to gallop forward, giving people the feeling that the enemy would run away after a while at night.
Although the four thousand cavalry were selected by Yang Wenguang, they were not familiar with them before, at most they only knew each other.
In addition, Yang Wenguang has not yet shown his personal charm and strength, so everyone is a captain, and it is not on the same line, why should we listen to you.
Is it because the loyal general Su Shi asked us to obey your orders, do we really have to listen?
Are you kidding?
What is Su Shi, and why did he order himself.
At this moment, the four thousand cavalry looked like a lot, but in fact it was a plate of loose sand. Not to mention anything else, at least each captain who leads the team has his own little abacus, Xiao Jiujiu.
Yang Wenguang shouted, it didn't have any effect, which made him stunned for a moment, and his face changed greatly. It is impossible for a cavalry contingent that cannot be unified and does not have a common voice to send out their true strength.
Not only that, but the possibility of being defeated by the enemy when they find an opportunity to fight on their own is also extremely high.
Yang Wenguang, who was annoyed in his heart, but helpless at this time, looked away and looked around, "It's okay, it's okay, Hu Yanqing is still here." ”
When Yang Wenguang saw Hu Yanqing, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then galloped towards his side, while shouting loudly, "The cavalry belonging to me is approaching me and obeying orders." ”
Some people died, but not completely......
