[Chapter 302] Provoking and bullying!
(0302)
Of course, for the safety of the Diaoqi officers and soldiers themselves, Xu Xingxia absolutely does not advocate the practice of seizing the Tatar heads on the spot. The Diaoqi soldiers do not need to prove their military achievements in this way. They have another way to calculate their military achievements, which is to prove each other. The officers at all levels of the Diaoqi Army can report their military achievements in accordance with the principle of seeking truth from facts. Most of the troops in later generations have implemented this way.
As for whether there is water inside and how much water is, it depends on the supervision and execution of the Diaoqi Army. It is impossible to have no moisture at all. Xu Xingxia himself must strictly control it. If everyone reports military achievements like Chang Kaishen's troops, the people below report indiscriminately, and the people above also report indiscriminately, and astronomical figures of annihilation of 100 million enemies appear, then this army is not far from disappearing.
As for the current situation, the military achievements reported by the Diaoqi Army are still relatively solid. Even if there is moisture, it will not exceed five points, which is 5%. Xu Xingxia is completely acceptable to such moisture. After all, the fighting style of the Diaoqi Army is somewhat special. It should not be too harsh in checking the military achievements, otherwise it will put the cart before the horse, resulting in unnecessary casualties in the Diaoqi Army itself. That would be more than worth the loss.
In fact, such a way of calculating military achievements is equivalent to completely breaking the constraints on the Eagle Cavalry. They no longer need to cut off the heads of the Tartars in person, so as to effectively avoid their own casualties. They can adopt more flexible methods to eliminate the Tartars. For the Tartars, such an opponent is definitely more difficult to deal with.
To put it bluntly, the Diaoqi Army can completely avoid contact with the Tartars and kill the Tartars at a long distance. Even if the Tartars are brave, they will have no choice but to face unattainable enemies. The effective range of the Sun and Moon Gun is more than 200 meters. The Tartars' bow and arrow range is only about fifty or sixty meters. The two are not on the same level at all.
Why are flies more difficult to deal with than mosquitoes? It is because mosquitoes always fall on the human body, which is the best chance to slap them to death. Mosquitoes react very slowly when sucking blood. After sucking blood, their flight speed is also very slow and easy to slap them. However, flies are different. Most flies will not fall on human bodies. They do not contact the human body at all. This is the most difficult place for them to deal with.
The scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army were very free in combat tasks. Their only purpose was to kill the Tartars. As for how to kill the Tartars, where to kill the Tartars, or when to kill the Tartars, Xu Xingxia had no regulations. Everything was dependent on the Diaoqi Army to explore on its own. On the Gobi Desert near Zhenyuan Pass, they were a group of poisonous scorpions lurking in the dunes and ravines, quietly waiting for the prey to appear in front of them.
The terrain near Zhenyuan Pass is basically flat, with occasional dunes rising and falling or several gullies, which has no obstacles to the passage of large cavalry forces. However, it is still not a problem to lurk a few people or dozens of people. Due to the continuous movement of wind and sand, the dunes or gullies on the Gobi Desert are often changed. There may be huge changes yesterday and today. No one can accurately grasp the situation in each dunes or in every gully.
Such terrain is simply a paradise for assassinating enemies for quasi-snipers. In a sense, the Eagle Cavalry soldiers who practice shooting alone can also be called the most primitive snipers. They are also snipers who move horses and change positions very quickly. However, when shooting, they basically dismount. After all, shooting on bumpy horsebacks, the accuracy of the Sun and Moon Guns is greatly reduced. Only by keeping your feet on the ground can you be sure to accurately hit the target.
The Tatar scouts who don’t know the background will certainly suffer a great loss when they meet the soldiers of the Diaoqi Army. The Tatar scouts were dispatched for pure intelligence, and the purpose was definitely not to kill people. However, the soldiers of the Diaoqi Army were dispatched for pure murder, and they did not need any information at all. The misalignment of the targets between the two sides caught the Tatar scouts off guard and were at a loss. In the Gobi Desert, there were dull gunfires from time to time. Every gunshot, Tatar cavalry might be shot and dropped.
Under the suppression of the scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army, the Tatar scouts had to greatly shrink the scope of reconnaissance. In the end, they even had to retreat to a place less than a hundred feet near the large army. As a result, the scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army were getting more and more powerful, and even approached the large Tatars. They fired at the large Tatars without hesitation. The Tatar troops of tens of thousands of people were nothing in the eyes of the scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army.
For the Sun and Moon Gun, a distance of one hundred feet (about 333 meters) is really not far. At such a distance, it is definitely impossible to shoot a separate target. However, if it is a large target of a collective, it may produce a certain effect. Therefore, the scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry gathered in groups of three or five, and shot at the Tatar cavalry team a hundred feet away, in order to stimulate the nerves of the Tatars.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
The gunshots kept coming, as if they were exploding beans, very lively.
Most of the Minnie bombs that were whistling away were lost, and only a small number of them hit the Tatar cavalry. At such a long distance, the chance of the Minnie bomb hitting may be less than 10%. However, even a hit rate of only 10% is enough. From time to time, the Tatar cavalry groaned and then fell down from the horse's back. Such actions are definitely a great excitement for other Tatars. Everyone knows that the feeling of being beaten passively! What's more, the Tatars who are full of anger?
"Damn it!" Erito's face turned pale, his eyes were blazing, his expression was ferocious, as if he wanted to eat people. He was so unbearable that he was provoked by someone like this, but he had no way to fight back. These damn Eagle Cavalry scattered soldiers were simply shaving his eyebrows unscrupulously! When did he ever be bullied like this?
"These bastards!" Hellekin's face was also quite bad, as if he was a dead person. Hellekin was more helpless than angry at the provocation of the Eagle Cavalry. Hellekin knew the power of the White Army. However, he still did not expect that the scattered soldiers of the White Army would be so annoying. They caused the Tatar scouts to have a large number of casualties. In the end, they ran under their noses and came to their wildness!
Both of them bit their lips tightly and tried to control their inner emotions so as to prevent their emotions from getting out of control. If their emotions are out of control, the consequences can be big or small. After all, they are all leaders of the tribe. When considering things, they must be as thorough as possible and not be impulsive. They must figure it out clearly that once they get hot and order a comprehensive attack on the White Army, they will have some confidence in victory.
Judging from the various information collected before, the guns and cannons of the White Army are definitely not easy to deal with. If the Tatars launch a comprehensive attack, they must be prepared to bear a large number of casualties. Perhaps, the most conservative estimate will be more than 3,000 casualties. To be honest, until this moment, Hellerkin and Eriton were not prepared for this mentality. The troops heading south this time were only seven thousand people in total. If three were annihilated, it would be estimated that the two tribes would have a difficult future path, and both of them would have the desire to die.
Eriton and Helekin were able to control his emotions, but the commanders below him were a little impatient. Among these commanders of the Tartars, people with simple limbs and simple minds were not provoked by the White Army, and the Tatars could not fight back. Such a feeling of frustration could not be tolerated by humans. The more developed the limbs and simpler the minds, the less they could not bear it in the face of such frustration.
Especially the ten-minded captains, centurions and the like of the Tatar cavalry were so angry that they were basically guys with extremely simple minds and extremely developed limbs. In addition, they were all tough-minded people, so how could they have suffered such a frustration? In the past, they had always bullied the Han people. When was it the Han people's turn to bully them like this? Faced with the provocation of the straitors of the White-Clothed Army, they wanted to rush out immediately and tore the straitors of the White-Clothed Army to pieces one by one.
However, the Tatars' cavalry did not make any noise. Their anger could only be temporarily suppressed. In fact, in the face of the provocation of the Eagle Cavalry, they were really helpless. If they chased out, the bastards of the Eagle Cavalry would definitely retract from the military camp. At that time, what awaited them must be the guns and cannons of the White Clothing Army. Maybe these scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry would be so provocative and bullied in order to lure them into the attack range of the White Clothing Army's guns and cannons. By the way, the Tatars should not use too much such tricks to lure out the snakes out of the hole.
However, if they don't catch up, they can only bear the losses in vain. Although the absolute number of losses is not a lot. The number of scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry active in Zhenyuan Pass is only a few dozen, and the losses they caused to the Tatar cavalry will definitely not be large. However, the feeling of holding the breath is quite unpleasant! No one likes to be beaten but cannot fight back, right? The Tatars don't know how long it has been, and they have never tasted this feeling.
"quack!"
There was a centurion of the Tartars who couldn't bear it, and in anger he rushed out. Several brave Tartar cavalry under his command also chased him fiercely. The centurion of the Tartars was affiliated with the Eridun tribe. Eridun had seen it, but he didn't stop it. He was also a little unable to bear it, wanting to see if this centurion could create miracles. It would be great if he could kill those hateful scattered soldiers of the Eridun army.
