Chapter 146: New Weapons, New Models
After Wu Sangui retreated to the second line of defense, he placed the cavalry behind the infantry, and the infantry relied on the mountain to build fortifications, and many horse-repellent stakes and iron thorns were set up in front of the position, and of course, many reinforced mines were laid. There were also dozens of infantry fighting vehicles in front of the infantry positions.
"Great Khan, what kind of tactics is this of the Ming army, how did you put the powerful cavalry at the rear?"
"Didn't the Ming army have a fire-breathing weapon? It is estimated that the infantry in front was equipped with that thing. ”
"So how do we deal with it?"
Geldan glanced at Zaisang, he knew a fart, where had he ever seen this kind of tactic, and after a moment of silence, Geldan said: "What's going on over there in Danjin Ombu, why haven't you come to join us?"
"We haven't sent anyone for a while, and the people we sent to contact haven't returned."
"What's going on?"
"I don't know yet, but my subordinates sent out several batches of people just now."
"You go check it out and see what's going on!"
"Yes!"
After a long time, Zaisang hurriedly returned: "Great Khan! - Great Khan! ——”
"How's it going?"
"Great Khan, Danjin Ombu is surrounded by the Ming army, and he can't break through for a while, and he is in danger."
"What?! Immediately you lead 50,000 men and horses to reinforcements, and I will arrive later. ”
"Yes!"
Wu Sangui, who was standing on a high place, had been paying attention to the movements of Geerdan's army, and when he saw him, he had to send out all the men, and he must have rescued Danjin Ombu, how could this be allowed.
On the one hand, he ordered the artillery to open fire, on the other hand, he ordered the cavalry to intercept, and at the same time ordered the infantry chariots to attack the army formation of Geldan's army.
However, the Ming army was very stubborn, and Wu Sangui saw that the infantry position did not work, so he ordered the infantry to advance and killed the Geldan army with submachine guns.
On the one hand, Geldan had to deal with the cavalry of the Ming army, and on the other hand, he had to guard against the infantry of the Ming army, and he could not advance or retreat for a while, and the infantry chariots of the Ming army were even more full of firepower, and they were firing wildly.
"Great Khan! The weapons of the Ming army are too lethal to me, so why don't we withdraw first! ”
"Good! After passing the order, the army immediately retreated to the north, and at the same time told Danjin Ombu to let him also find a way to break through and retreat! ”
The new tactics of the Ming army plunged Geerdan's army into chaos, and the order to retreat immediately began to disperse like a flood, and the Ming army chased after it, and fought for a while, killing many of Geerdan's men and horses.
The Ming army chased for a while, retracted the position, Geldan was finally able to take a breath, just stopped not long after, Danjin Embu was covered with blood and chased up, to the front, he knelt down in front of Geerdan: "Great Khan, his subordinates just went around to the flank of the Ming army and were trapped by Aobai Na with poisonous smoke, and the loss of men and horses who followed his subordinates in this battle was seventy percent, and I lived up to the trust of the Great Khan."
"Get up!"
"Report! - Great Khan, the Ming army Huang Degong has taken advantage of our southward movement to capture the planned city, Li Dingguo's department is also advancing westward, and Gao Jie's department has cut off our back road. ”
"What!?" Geldan was shocked, the worst case scenario still appeared, only then did he and the Ming army lose half of their own men and horses, and the Ming army's tactics were too lethal to themselves.
"Someone!"
"Great Khan!"
"Immediately send an order to Abdu, let his 200,000 men and horses stop their march south, and come to meet us immediately."
"Yes!"
"Jae-san! The order went down, the army threw away the unnecessary burden, and immediately retreated to the west at full speed, the Ming army is now attacking on all fronts, our troops are not enough, the grassland is temporarily unkept, we immediately return to Jungar. ”
"Yes! Sweat! ”
Disturbing the latest developments of Geerdan's army, Wu Sangui immediately ordered Ao Bai to lead the cavalry in pursuit, not seeking to completely annihilate Geerdan, but begging not to let him retreat so quickly, and he himself followed behind with infantry.
Today's Ming cavalry also has hundreds of thousands, Wu Sangui has more than 120,000 under his command, these 120,000 horses under the leadership of Ao Bai like a sharp arrow shot out, Geldan in order not to be besieged by the Ming army, so he did not dare to fight, while fighting and retreating.
When Abdu received Geldan's order, he was fighting against Eikenchi in Shandan, and Aenchi saw that Geldan's army, which had been fighting around him for a while, suddenly weakened its offensive and seized the opportunity to attack decisively.
At this time, Gao Jie has led the army out of Zhangye to the north, in order to quickly support Geerdan, Abdu also let the army go into battle lightly, along the way encountered the Ming army, he is not entangled, and finally met Geerdan at the western foot of Shizui Mountain, after meeting Geerdan, Abdu was shocked, at this time Geerdan's face was tired, that there is a little bit of the past heroic.
"Abdu, how many men did you bring?"
"Great Khan, his subordinates have been fighting with the Ming army all the way, and now there are still 150,000 horses, all here."
"That's good, the Ming army is chasing after you, let's talk as we go."
"Yes! Great Khan, where do we go next? ”
"Go back to Jungger, I'm afraid that the land east of Beiting will be lost in this battle, how is the strength of the Ming army on the way you come?"
"Back to the Great Khan, there are Ming troops everywhere, there are thousands of them, and there are hundreds and ten people, they should all be sentinels sent by the Ming army."
"Good! Follow your path and guide the army westward, as long as we reach Zungar, we will be safe, and I believe that the supplies of the Ming army will not be able to reach there for a while. ”
"Yes!"
