[Chapter 387] At the critical moment, reinforcements are coming!

(0387)

In fact, with Feng Qingwu's character, his first reaction was of course to counterattack immediately and take the lead. However, the number of people in the Diaoqi Army was still a little less. After expansion, the Diaoqi Army had only five squadrons, with a standard of 1,250 soldiers, and with officers, there were only about 1,500 people. If all the Diaoqi Army were here, you could consider it. However, the activities of the Diaoqi Army were very scattered and distributed on the huge grassland. The only people he could control and use were concentrated and concentrated, which was less than half of the total force.

It is no problem to resist the Tatars' attacks of less than 1,000 people with a force of 700 people. Even on rainy days, it can cause great harm to the Tatars. The problem is that it is a bit difficult to severely damage the Tatars. If the number of people is too small, the advantages of the musket cannot be fully utilized. Only when the Sun and Moon guns are fired volleys can the power be maximized. What's more serious is that the number of people is too small, it is easy to get the Tatars cavalry close. For the current Eagle Cavalry, it is still very dangerous to be fought by the Tatars in close combat.

Houdefu looked worried and said with a little concern: "Sir..."

The Tuyuhun people only have one thousand-man team, but the Tatars have five thousand-man teams. One-on-five, the Tuyuhun people are definitely not opponents of the Tatars. There is even a possibility that the entire army will be wiped out. If it were just this thousand-man team, it would not be fatal. What is fatal is that the women and materials they escorted will also be lost, which is very fatal. Without these women and materials, the Tuyuhun people could not survive independently, let alone develop.

Feng Qingwu said in a deep voice: "Old man, you go back first. Don't worry, it's okay!"

Hou Defu shook his head nervously and said that he could not leave. At this critical moment, how could he leave? How could he ignore the fate of his tribe? It’s not that he didn’t believe that the Diaoqi Army would abandon them, but that he must know what decision the Diaoqi Army would make. At this critical moment, any decision made by the Diaoqi Army may affect the fundamental survival problem of the Tuyuhun people.

Zhang Yi whispered: "Why? Let's do them all the way?"

Feng Qingwu shook his head gently, otherwise Zhang Yi's suggestion was not that Zhang Yi's suggestion was not good, but that the current strength of the Diaoqi Army could not be achieved. He only had 700 troops on hand, and even if all of them were concentrated, he could not destroy a thousand-man team of the Tatars. Moreover, his primary task was to ensure the safety of the Tuyuhun people. This was related to the prestige and dignity of the White-clothed Army. While attacking the Tatars, he had to ensure the safety of the Tuyuhun people.

If the Tuyuhun people were attacked and suffered losses due to attacks, it would be put before the horse and lost the watermelon. Since Xu Xingxia agreed to protect the Tuyuhun people, the Diaoqi Army would do its best and do it truly. If the Tuyuhun people were attacked by the Tatars in the end, this would definitely be a big blow to Xu Xingxia's reputation. If the White Army's first move ended in failure, it would be troublesome in the future.

On the contrary, eliminating the Tatars is not the primary task. As long as the Tuyuhun people are escorted to a safe area and the Diaoqi Army is freed up, are they afraid that there will be no chance to deal with the Tatars? As time goes by, the strength of the White-clothed Army will only become stronger and stronger, and its advantages will become greater. In the future, more troops will definitely enter the grasslands and fight against the Tatars. As long as there are more troops and more than three or five thousand, it will be enough to make the Tatars suffer.

Hou Defu suddenly said, "Sir, should you stop acting and defend on the spot?"

What he meant was actually the dismounting battle in the past. When the situation was unfavorable, it was to find a relatively open place, concentrate all the war horses, surround them outside as a barrier, and inside were combatants or non-combatants. This kind of defense method was actually the Han people's back-to-earth battle. If the defense circle was not broken, you could survive the disaster by luck. If the defense circle was broken, all personnel would be killed.

"No." Feng Qingwu still shook his head and rejected Houdefu's suggestion. Houdefu's suggestion was either unreasonable or the risk was too great. Because the Diaoqi Army had only 700 troops and could not launch a devastating blow to the enemies launched around. In other words, this kind of fighting method was very unsafe, and the defense circle could be broken.

The current training and equipment of the Diaoqi Army are not suitable for hand-to-hand combat. If the defense circle is broken, it will be passive. Once it falls into close combat, the Diaoqi Army will be completely disabled. Without any necessity, the Diaoqi Army will never fight with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. Feng Qingwu's plan is to dismount the Tuyuhun people to defend and block the Tatars' attack. The Diaoqi Army's scattered soldiers will support the Tatars' cavalry on the periphery and restrain the Tatars' cavalry's actions. This can not only give full play to the advantages of the Tuyuhun people, but also give full play to the advantages of the Diaoqi Army and jointly attack the enemy.

This is the most effective method that Feng Qingwu could think of. However, in the eyes of the Tuyuhun people, such a method is quite a bit like killing with a knife. In fact, the Tuyuhun people who were directly attacked by the Tatar cavalry did suffer relatively large casualties. After all, their combatants were only about one thousand, while their opponents had a total of five thousand. The difference in military strength was so huge that it was impossible not to suffer major casualties.

Feng Qingwu needs to carefully measure how to make Houdefu understand that the White Army does this not to use a knife to kill people, but the best strategy. If Houdefu and others are Han people, this matter is easier to explain. Any battle requires someone to sacrifice. But the problem is that they are Tuyuhun people and both sides do not have sufficient trust. With such a strategy, even if Feng Qingwu himself is replaced, he will feel like he is being used to kill people with a knife.

"Two sirs, reinforcements are coming!" At this moment, the scout came to report excitedly.

Before he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves came from the south. Everyone turned their heads and looked over and found a small team of white-clothed cavalry coming quickly. They were wearing the golden dragon sword flag of the white-clothed army, wearing blue military uniforms, and also wearing dark red hats. The commander in front shouted from a distance: "Old Feng, we are here again!"

Feng Qingwu looked carefully and immediately showed a knowing smile on his face. At this critical moment, reinforcements arrived, which was so good! Overjoyed, he rushed up with a horse's belly and rode his horse. Zhang Yi also rushed up with a smile on his face. Although Houdefu didn't know who was coming, he also understood that it was the reinforcements of the White Army who were coming. His heart was hanging down, and he immediately followed him with a horse's belly.

It turned out that what came over there was Wang Xia, the commander of the Eagle Cavalry. All around him were officers of the Eagle Cavalry and two guides. Since they were all here, it was estimated that the entire Eagle Cavalry had arrived. With the assistance of the Eagle Cavalry, everyone worked together to kill a Thousand-man team of Tatars. The Eagle Cavalry last time when the Eagle Cavalry attacked Sobud, they cooperated with the Eagle Cavalry, and both sides were old friends on the battlefield.

"It's you!" Feng Qingwu raised his hands loudly and shouted to express his welcome.

Soon, a group of war horses were intertwined. Amid the neighing of Hui Yuyu's war horses, the war horses were stopped one after another. Everyone jumped off their horses, shook hands and hugged each other, and the atmosphere was very warm. Feng Qingwu, Zhang Yi and others were all excited. The arrival of the Eagle Cavalry marked the threat of the Tatars and was wiped out. Now, it is not the White-clothed Army that is worried about the Tatars' attack, but the Tatars should be worried about the White-clothed Army's attack.

"This is Mr. Houdefu, a native of Tuyuhun."

"This is Wang Xia, the commander of the Eagle Cavalry, and my old friend."

Feng Qingwu seized the time and introduced Wang Xia to Houdefu, and then to Wang Xia. Houdefu, who was equally happy, hurriedly expressed his gratitude. He also sent someone back to the horse team to prepare food for Wang Xia and his Eagle Cavalry. By the way, Wang Xia galloped all the way with the soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry, and was indeed a little hungry. People might still be able to bear it, but the war horses could not bear it.

If there is no Tuyuhun horse team, Wang Xia will take at least half a day to adjust the state of the war horses and troops. When traveling on a long distance, the troops will definitely be very chaotic and the equipment will be very chaotic. They must be reorganized before they can start the battle. However, with the help of the Tuyuhun people, it only takes one or two hours. The rushing war horses are led away by the Tuyuhun people and are responsible for feeding. The spare war horses will be ready to go to the battlefield after eating and drinking.

The group found a place to sit down, and Wang Xia briefly explained the situation. This time, Xu Xingxia agreed to assist the Tuyuhun people, and did what they said and there was absolutely no show. In addition to sending the Diaoqi Army to assist, after learning that the Tuyuhun people were attacked by the Tatars, Xu Xingxia immediately ordered emergency reinforcements. The white-clothed army's mobile forces were dispatched. The first to arrive was the Eagle Cavalry led by Wang Xia. The Eagle Cavalry Army was under the jurisdiction of three squadrons, with 750 soldiers, and about 900 people, including officers and others.

Not only Wang Xia's Eagle Cavalry, Mao Shisan's Leopard Cavalry also came, and Xia Kewu's Dragon Cavalry also came. These three troops are the main force to reinforce Feng Qingwu this time. For the time being, the other two troops have not arrived yet, but they are probably soon. They all set out from the Heishan Camp and traveled day and night along the way, and there was no stop in between except for necessary rest. Therefore, the time to reach the destination will not be very different.

Their organization was the same as Wang Xia's Eagle Cavalry. In other words, four troops united and had a total strength of more than 3,000 people. For a moment, the strength of the White-Clothed Army suddenly increased. Just as Feng Qingwu was so energetic before, now, it was not the White-Clothed Army worried about the Tatars' attack, but the Tatars were worried about the White-Clothed Army's attack. The more than 3,000 White-Clothed Army cavalry was enough to set off a big storm on the prairie.

"Wang Xia, you're better!" When Wang Xia informed the situation, Mao Shisan and the officers of the Leopard Cavalry also arrived. The group hugged each other again and became more energetic. Wang Xia and Mao Shisan competed with horseback seriously, and the final result was to tie the game without a winner.

Wang Xia, Mao Shisan, Chi Hu and others are all from Rangers. Although they are now commanders of the White Army, the Rangers' flavor is still very strong. If they have time and opportunity, they all like to practice under their hands and divide the scores. Originally, Chi Hu was their head, and the skills under their hands were used to stabilize the two of them. Unfortunately, Chi Hu had been guarding the south and staring at the direction of Pinglu City. This time he went north, he had no place to do so.

"Hello, I am Xia Kewu! I am ordered to lead the Dragon Cavalry to report! According to the arrangement of Lord Qianhu, my troops and I will accept your command. I promise that the Dragon Cavalry will definitely complete the combat mission! Now, please give me instructions!" Xia Kewu's troops arrived a little later. It was not until noon that he arrived in a hurry. After the arrival, his expression was a little restrained, and Xiang Feng Qingwu repeated Xu Xingxia's orders seriously.

There is no way, Xia Kewu is not from a Ranger and is not very familiar with the grassland. His troops are also average, which is somewhat similar to the Tiger Cavalry Army led by Liu Heng. If the various troops under the White-Clothed Army had a combat power ranking, the Dragon Cavalry Army would probably be ranked behind. The main reason is that the lack of practical training. In the previous few battles of the White-Clothed Army, the Dragon Cavalry Army did not attack the main force and had no highlights.

In Xu Xingxia's words, the Dragon Cavalry Army did not shed enough blood and could not be able to achieve combat effectiveness. It is necessary to have sufficient practical training to forge a tough army. This battle, according to Xu Xingxia's intention, was to let Xia Kewu fight the vanguard and act as the main force of the battle. Of course, this required Feng Qingwu, Wang Xia, Mao Shisan and others to give more guidance. After all, the Dragon Cavalry Army soldiers came to the prairie for the first time and had no experience at all. Without corresponding guidance, they might have paid a great price.

"Xia Kewu, don't be polite, take it easy!" Feng Qingwu said with a smile.

Feng Qingwu naturally had no objection to Xu Xingxia's special arrangement. Since the Dragon Cavalry Army was playing the vanguard and acting as the main force, the other troops would only cover all sides and cooperate temporarily. Mao Shisan and Wang Xia had no objection. Anyway, as long as they could kill the Tatars, no matter who is the main force and who assisted, there would be no big problem. The key is that they had to show the might of the White Army.

"Okay! Let's do a big fight!" Feng Qingwu was very excited and made up his mind decisively. He discussed with Wang Xia for a while and then formulated a basic combat plan. The most basic feature of this plan is to fight continuously and kill the most Tatars as much as possible. As long as the Tatars have not yet collapsed, the combat operations of the White-clothed Army will not stop.

Xu Xingxia immediately transferred three armies to Feng Qingwu. With Feng Qingwu's own army, there were almost 3,500 troops. If there were 3,500 troops, it would be boring if it was not bigger. This time, the Tatars would be hurt, disabled, and afraid of being beaten, so that they would not dare to bare the white army in the future.
