Chapter 900 Back
"Then do you think this is the Ming army?"
"There is no sign at all." Shi Tingzhu looked at his colleagues' faces again, and had to bite his teeth and answered again: "I can only confirm that this is not the Ming Dynasty's classics and mechanisms, but if it is a local regiment training, there is no reason to wear heavy armor to hold sharp soldiers, and he has trained such sharp cavalry again."
Yue Tuo pondered: "Can it be the cavalry transferred from the south by the Ming Dynasty?"
"Impossible." This time more people shook their heads.
"I don't know what Beizi is." Shi Tingzhu said: "The northern border troubles of the Ming Dynasty have always been much more severe than those in the south. There are not many troops in the south and most of them are weak brigades. With 200,000 southern troops, it may not be able to compete with a military town in the north. There are no strong soldiers in the south, including Nanzhili, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. There are only strong soldiers in Sichuan, but the number is small and they are all infantry."
"I know, the White Rod Soldier."
A few years ago, Yue Tuo was still a prince in his twenties at the time. The difficulty and bloodiness of breaking the formation seemed to be in front of him. He asked with a gloomy face: "When is it now?"
"Return to the master." A white armor replied: "The last moment is the first time."
"Go forward quickly!" Yue Tuo made up his mind and shouted: "Our troops attacked the Ming army formation with a semicircular formation, and attacked the rear formation with sharp soldiers. I led Yala on the left wing shoulder, Shuotoubeizi on the right wing shoulder, Sahalianbeizi led the bottom yala, and the generals led the guards in each of the armor, without the vest soldiers and horses, and the Han army stayed, and the Inner Mongolian soldiers were guarding the guards."
"Yes, Beizi!"
"Slave obeys the order!"
Everyone received military orders. At this time, Jianlu dared not question or disobey military orders on the battlefield. After receiving the military orders, no one dared to hesitate for a moment and responded loudly as soon as possible.
Yue Tuo's military order is also very clear.
This is also the characteristic of an excellent battlefield commander. It should be as complicated as possible when considering it, and when issuing military orders, it should be as simple and clear as possible.
The flag was swinging, the drums and trumpets sounded, and Yue Tuo formed an array of cavalry urging the formation.
The semicircular array is divided into five parts: left, right, front, back and bottom. The two red flags and the Han army's flags are respectively flying. They are wearing iron silver armor and small flags on their backs. They are urging each Niulu to move forward bravely. Each Niulu is really the one who is in charge of Bashiku and leads his subordinates and follows the flag to gallop forward.
The array of thousands of people was placed on a wide front, with the middle convex front, and the two wings were slightly dragged back. In the front two rows, there were cavalry in armor. Among the Eight Jurchen Banners of 60,000 Banners, the ones who could wear armor were mainly war soldiers of 20 or 40. There were also flag soldiers who could wear armor with two pieces of cotton armor or mail. They were either formal Banners or unqualified ones who followed them. These Banners also armed themselves as much as possible. The armor and weapons were often polished, and in addition to bows and arrows, they also practiced riding and weapons frequently. At this time, they were not afraid of fear. Even if the Ming army in front was bright and the line was neat, the victory of the Later Jin years had made them completely devoid of awe for the Ming army. On the contrary, in the eyes of these Jurchens, the Ming army wearing heavy armor was moving wealth, silver and coated.
The Jurchens were in front and the Han army was behind. The wide battlefield had almost no undulating terrain, no rivers, ferries, roads or villages, no detours, and no need to consider ambush... Looking around, you can observe within ten miles. If there are ambush within twenty miles, smoke and dust will appear, and there is enough time to ask them to withdraw from the battlefield.
The cavalry of the brigade rushed to the front left, and the Jurchens' array was also well maintained. Although it was not as standard as the distance and linear array deliberately trained by the cavalry of the Shang regiment, it still maintained a very neat array while running at high speed.
As the cavalry attacked, large areas of grass were trampled and flew away by horse hooves. There was a lot of dust on the grass in summer. Thousands of people and horses galloped, and the smoke and dust immediately spread out. It was just a layer of mist near. If you look from a distance, there were columns of dust and dust rising into the air.
The Jurchens were not fast in riding speed, and Yuetuo did not order to accelerate. He wanted to see how the Ming army and the Mongolians reacted.
...
"Ming Jun, Jurchen?"
The person who led the cavalry to check the situation was that the noble Mongolian Taiji was so ugly when pursuing the cavalry of the Shang regiment last year. More than 3,000 people chased more than 200 people, but he still failed to achieve his full results. Not only did he fail in the mission, but he was finally defeated by the main force of the Shang regiment army who was driven over in Mobei, and lost a lot of losses. Then, due to supply reasons, many shepherds died along the way. When the Brain Da returned to the Chahanhaote Royal City, more than 3,000 herders and armored soldiers who went with him finally came back only 1,000 and more than 2,000 people stayed on the long journey.
Not only did the personnel lose heavy losses, but the losses of war horses were also very serious. They took out more than 5,000 horses, most of which were excellent war horses, and only a few were mixed horses that had passed. Although there were many Mongolian horses, there were actually many excellent war horses, and not everyone had a share. Even if they now have mastered the Later Jin Dynasty of the Mongolian tribes, from the fourth year of the Age of Revelation to the seventh year of the Age of Revelation, the Eight Banners still had about 20% of the war horse gap. This was the case with the "horseless followers". A considerable number of flag servants were walking on the battlefield. Only when armored cavalry dismounted and fought in the infantry battle, these flag officers would use horse stakes to hold the war horses for the armored people to prevent running around on the battlefield or being captured by the enemy.
It was not until the seventh year of the Tianqi period, after Lin Danhan moved westward, a large number of left-wing Mongolian tribes surrendered to the Jurchens, and the Eight Banners had sufficient war horses, and even the flag-dians were fully equipped. The sufficient war horses brought convenience to Huang Taiji's pursuit of Lin Danhan for thousands of miles. If there were a lot of war horse gaps, chasing from Liaodong to Hetao area would be completely unimaginable for a long distance of thousands of miles.
"The whole army retreated!"
He had a big brain and didn't think about it for too long. When he saw the merchant army moving towards the north, he did not hesitate at all and directly ordered it.
All the Chahar nobles and generals had the same thoughts. After receiving the military order, people felt relieved and began to turn around and escape.
Because they were far apart and the military orders were issued early, the cavalry did not panic too much, and the situation of people hugging and trampling on each other did not occur. A large number of cavalry with more than 10,000 people completed the battlefield turn in almost a short time, and then quickly left.
It has to be admitted that the Mongols escaped very resolutely, decisively, and very fast, showing excellent riding skills.
In terms of the subject of escape, their scores are excellent.
After Naomaoda and others ran away, there were spitting and wailing sounds from the Bahraini tribe in the fence, but that was not about the Chahar people.
...
Cao Shixuan stood among the crowd. Of course he had a horse, but Shi Tingzhu considered that Cao Shixuan was a military post in the garrison and had never held a real position in Liao Town and had never brought troops to the battlefield, so he asked him to stay and command the Han military police without horses.
All Han army stood in a horizontal formation. Most of the Han army held long weapons such as guns and spears, and looked at the battlefield in the distance with worry. On both wings were Jurchens holding bows and arrows and long weapons. They were flag soldiers wearing two pieces of short armor or long armor. There were also a small number of flag slaves in the team. Their weapons were very poor, most of them were doing odd jobs in the military camp. When they went to the battlefield, they also had the opportunity to participate in the battle. If they performed well, they would be credited by the master and would have the opportunity to carry the flag in the future.
"The Mongols ran away!"
A Han army pointed to the north and shouted.
Cao Shixuan was shocked and quickly looked north.
Sure enough, there was a huge smoke and dust over there, and many Mongolians were showing off their excellent riding skills. They turned around and rode wildly on the battlefield without any difficulty, and almost ran away quickly under the noses of everyone.
The Mongols of Bahrain in the fence burst out with fierce shouts and cries, and a Han army cursed hatefully: "You deserve it, it's better to kill them all in a while."
Cao Shixuan turned his head and glanced at the Han army, and said, "I'll let the masters hear that you're careful that your life will not be guaranteed."
The Han army lowered its head and dared not speak out.
The Han army's status was getting lower and lower, and the Mongols were always relied on by the Jurchens. Although they were also exploited and hit by economic treatment, many of the Zhenyi fled in the past two years, and many of the Mongols were hungry. However, in terms of military and political status, Mongolia became increasingly superior to the Han army, and more and more Han army became Baoyi and flag slaves. Mongolia established left and right wings and treated Mongolia very favorably to the foreign vassal Mongolia.
Cao Shixuan didn't have the time to pay attention to these things, and he continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.
The same is true for the Jurchen flag gentry. They set up neat arrays. Most of these flag gentry and Yu Ding are skilled in combat formations. It is not difficult for them to arrange them into suitable arrays. The small arrays of Niulu formed a larger horizontal array, which is the best formation to impact the cavalry formation. Not only are there large formations, but also small circular formations on both sides and in the middle of the horizontal array, but also on the rear wings. The flag gentry held long spears and big swords, or held step bows in their hands.
"Our army has retreated."
Cao Shixuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt extremely thirsty.
The left-behind Jurchen officers also had a similar feeling, and people kept wiping sweat and drinking water.
At this time, the officers saw that the Ming army had stopped in the queue and were re-adjusting, so they ordered the armored flag cows to sit down and rest. Everyone heard a clamor. All the armored men put down their weapons and sat cross-legged on the ground to recover their strength and drink water.
The grass was very soft, and Cao Shixuan wanted to sit down, but as an officer, he could only meet him.
The rumbling sound of the cavalry team sounded again, and a large area of turf was splashed, leaving behind a dark mottled area.
The faces of a group of Jurchen nobles and senior officers were not very good-looking. They wanted to attack the Ming army first and then the Mongolians. As a result, the Mongolians decisively staged a good show of turning to escape on the battlefield. The Ming army stopped guarding. The Jurchens did not make up their mind to attack the Ming army with bright and neat arrays. The other consideration was that the cavalry hedging damage rate on the battlefield was too high, and the Jurchens rarely used large troops to carry out such tactics. The lives of each bannerman wearing armor were precious, especially for small tribes like the Jurchens.
Yue Tou decided to retreat slowly. The two armies were originally far apart, but after slowly opening up, they had no way to fight in a hurry, and the battlefield suddenly broke away.
