Chapter 895 Fishing is not successful, but is fished
North of Jining.
Yang Chengying was stationed on the nameless heights, looking at the endless army in sight.
It's already the beginning of October, and the temperature is visibly dropping.
The soldiers were dressed in thick military uniforms and did not feel hot at all.
The march was neither fast nor slow.
Jining was only 400 li from Sunit's right flank, and the right flank was only 280 li from Sunit's left flank.
Stress can be transmitted.
A scout cavalry ran to Yang Chengying and reported, "Your Highness, the enemy's scout cavalry has been found eighty miles ahead."
"Still in the territory of the right flank, Teng Jisi can't sit still and wants to carry out a sneak attack."
Yang Chengying chuckled and said, "Maybe he still wants to take this opportunity to provoke Sunit's right wing to be my enemy."
Sunit Division, divided into left and right wings. The right wing is in the west and the left wing is in the east.
For the old reason, the Mongols sat north and faced south, so their left was in the east and their right wing was in the west.
The right-wing lord of the Sunit tribe is called Suse, and he has always been safe.
There is no such thing as Teng Jisi planning to resist Yang Chengying, nor is he actively approaching like Deshen Jiwang.
How to put it, one word to describe "messing around".
Therefore, Yang Chengying judged that this was Tengji's thought to sow discord.
"Your Highness, how should our army meet the enemy?" Meng Qiaofang asked.
"You are the deputy commander who actually leads the army, and you will command the battle."
Yang Chengying replied to him.
The reason for doing this, Yang Chengying has his own reasons.
Meng Qiaofang received the order and began to command the army to defend against the enemy.
The small drums sounded, and the infantry quickly gathered into a line.
The cavalry units were divided into left and right flanks and assembled on either side of the infantry.
The army slowly stepped forward.
However, no enemies have been encountered.
Another scout cavalry rushed in: "Your Highness, the enemy has suddenly disappeared without a trace."
"Humph! I want to play with the real and the virtual."
Yang Chengying smiled nonchalantly.
Knowing that he couldn't fight head-on, he wanted to use the advantage of cavalry to engage in attack and harassment tactics.
Meng Qiaofang picked up the telescope in understanding and looked north.
Through the lenses, I can only see a blanket space ahead.
"Someone, give orders to the reconnaissance companies." Meng Qiaofang said loudly, "If you find that the enemy's cavalry swallows it in one bite, remember the enemy's plan to lure the enemy."
"Ordered." The herald galloped away.
When the enemy uses wolf pack tactics, he counterattacks with wolf pack tactics.
The large army gathered its ranks and continued to march along the route indicated by the guide.
A herald galloped on horseback and soon met the cavalry squad of the reconnaissance company ahead.
"General Meng's military order, if you find that the enemy cavalry swallows it in one bite, remember not to fall for the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy deeper."
"Is the army encamped or marching?"
"March!"
After the herald finished speaking, he rode away.
The commander of this reconnaissance company is from Bac Ninh Province, surnamed Pei, and his name is Pei Chengen.
Pei Chengen received the military order and said with a smile: "Although General Meng's worries are reasonable, it is a pity that they are superfluous to me."
He ordered the scout cavalry to mount their horses and continue to march in small formations.
The grasslands are very vast.
After a short period of travel, he saw several enemy horsemen appear.
The enemy rider stopped for a moment, then turned away from his horse in pretending to be frightened.
"These guys, they can't pretend." Pei Chengen couldn't help but laugh, "Look at how I clean you up."
The Scout Cavalry reloads their rifles and then rides in pursuit.
The enemy cavalry ran in front, and the scout cavalry pursued behind.
The two teams kicked up a series of dust on the vast grassland.
Soon, the enemy riders realized that something was not quite right.
How the scout cavalry is getting closer!
They all drew their bows and arrows, ready to shoot back at each other.
At this point, they were dumbfounded.
The distance is not enough.
A traditional bow has a range of between a hundred and two hundred meters.
With the best bows and arrows and the strongest soldiers, the range of the bow and arrow may reach three hundred meters.
The problem is, there are not such good bows and arrows.
The scout cavalry was three hundred meters away and was ready to shoot.
Pei Chengen was on the horse, his legs clamped on the horse's body, holding a riding spear, aiming at the enemy horse in front.
Bang!
He was the first to fire.
The Mongol cavalry, unarmoured, fell from their horses.
The rest of the scout cavalry also opened fire, and the enemy cavalry was called one by one.
Seeing that the killing was almost done, Pei Chengen stopped the horse's hooves and ordered a retreat.
At this time, the Mongolian cavalry in ambush in the Gobi Desert was annoyed, and they were dispatched to pursue and kill them.
Pei Chengen loaded ammunition while riding a horse and turned around to shoot.
At this time, it does not matter whether the marksmanship is good or bad, because the enemy is densely packed.
The most important thing is to be able to shoot.
The soldiers galloped unhurriedly and reloaded their ammunition by the way.
As long as you shoot, you will get something.
This made the Mongolian cavalry angry, barking and screaming, brandishing scimitars, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and wanted to kill this reconnaissance company of more than 100 people.
Pei Chengen fought and walked, fishing them all the time.
This scene was seen by Yang Chengying.
He held a telescope and stationed his horse on a high place, and the Mongol cavalry could already be seen.
"I'm not good at learning." Yang Chengying couldn't help but complain.
At this time, the Liaodong Army had already completed its formation.
Observation posts located on heights, writing information on paper, passing to the artillerymen.
The artillery readjusts the parameters according to the direction of the enemy and the position of our personnel.
And it doesn't have to be too precise.
The purpose of firing artillery is not to destroy the enemy, but to scare.
Soon, the Mongol cavalry came into view.
Yin Wehutuketu, who was stationed at a high place to observe the battlefield together, bowed his head and recited "Amitabha", he had already predicted the end.
He can see the enemy, and the enemy can see him.
This time it was the turn of the Mongol cavalry to be dumbfounded, and they chased after each other and entered the encirclement of the enemy.
They turned their horses around and fled.
"Fire!"
The artillery company commander gave the order, and the flag waved.
The artillery pulls the firing rope.
Thirty old-fashioned Shenwei general cannons erupted round iron bullets, drawing a graceful parabola in the air and smashing into the Mongol cavalry.
The old-fashioned Kamui military cannon still uses solid bullets.
But the production process is very different from before, not only the firing structure, but also the cannon itself, which already uses steel materials and rifling.
The range has become very long.
Iron bullets either smashed into the open ground or smashed on the enemy, and immediately one thing was missing.
If it is smashed on the heart, it will immediately lack a heart.
The artillery pushed the cannon back into place, reloaded the ammunition, and the second shelling.
Due to the use of black powder, smoke billowed from the battlefield.
The Mongol cavalry was stunned by these cannons and desperately retreated.
But the distance of one cannon reached three thousand meters, and in the presence of observation posts, the Mongol cavalry was bombed all the way.
It's just that the accuracy is touching.
Yang Chengying didn't want to waste ammunition, but took the lead and made people feel scared.
Feeling the same, Yang Cheng should inform Meng Qiaofang and order to stop the shelling.
The army quickly gathered its formation and continued its march north.
In the sound of drums, the army gathered quickly and formed formations quickly.
Because the whole army, except for Yin and Hutuketu, are all soldiers with high-intensity training.
The large army formed a marching route and continued its march northward.
Target - the right wing of the Sunit Division.
He believed that Suse was a smart man.
