If it were in the past, neither Grusso nor Bergen would have launched an attack. The Tatars might have lacked anything, but they would have absolutely no lack of courage to die. No matter what kind of enemy they face, they would have launched an attack without hesitation. Morigen could grow from a grassroots to the most powerful figure among the Tatars, not without support. To put it bluntly, this reliance is the courage to move forward and the spirit of not fearing death.

Unfortunately, the Tatars are really unable to make trouble now. This time they went south, their roads were always very unhappy. In Gansu Town, Zhuanglang City, Gulang City, Xining City, and Tengger Desert, they lost nearly 10,000 people. In Zhenyuan Pass, they lost thousands of people. In addition to the sporadic losses on other sub-battlefields, the Tatars have lost more than 18,000 elite troops this time. [bsp;  

This is the real elite of the Tatars. No matter what kind of troops it is, there must be between elites and non-elites. And every time they attack, the most active, fierce, and fiercest are the elites among the elites. Now, they have all been killed by the white-clothed army. The feeling of the Tatars can be imagined. They seemed to have been pulled out for half of their strength, and their spine was beaten hard, almost losing half of their combat power.

If the Tatars continued to be defeated and continued to lose their vital strength in Bayannur grassland, there would be no hope for this battle. At that time, don’t say that Xu Xingxia would continue to kill them all, even the Mongols would be able to use their swords behind their backs and give the Tatars the most ruthless. Such situations are common on the prairie.

Everything must be cautious.

Should I attack? Grusso couldn't help but hesitate.

He wanted the Tatars' whistle and cavalry to go up and test the movements of the earthen encirclement. As a result, the Tatars' whistle and cavalry were shot by the White Army as soon as they approached. Some of them were killed on the spot, and others had to retreat beyond the range of the muskets. The White Army's scattered soldiers followed the move and dispersed all the Tatars' whistle and cavalry. This situation shows that the White Army was definitely ready for battle, and the Tatars had no chance to take advantage of the situation.

Without accidents, in the face of such an uncertain environment, you must plan and then act. At least, you must understand the defense system of the White-Clothed Army so that you can take targeted actions. However, the Tatars cannot afford it. If you want to reconnaissance the defense system of the White-Clothed Army, you don’t know how long it will take and how much life it will take.

The cavalry of the White Army also has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Every time they come into contact with the Tatar whistle and cavalry, they will cause huge losses to the Tatar whistle and cavalry. Don’t look at the loss of only a few dozen people or more than one hundred people every day. Over time, this is a considerable number. Nowadays, the Tatar cavalry is less than one dead, and there is no chance to make up for it.

More importantly, the Tatars were under great logistics pressure. Even if they purchased a large amount of logistics supplies from Lin Danhan, it would not last long. They urgently needed a place to stay and a place to take a breath. In the previous battle, the Tatars had accumulated a large number of wounded soldiers. They must be effectively placed. Otherwise, if they continue to delay, most of the wounded and sick will become dead.

Bergen was also helpless about the situation in front of him. The Tatars were most afraid of attacking, but the White-Clothed Army made solid fortifications everywhere, which made the Tatars unhappy. The Tatars wanted to not pay a little price, and they didn't even have the chance to contact the White-Clothed Army. He suggested bitterly: "Or, let's send hundreds of people to try it first!"

Grusso nodded and immediately ordered the Tatar cavalry to be dispatched.

Soon, the Tatar cavalry composed of five hundred men rushed towards the earthen encirclement at a rapid speed. They were all good players on horseback and had reached the state of unity of people and horses. In order to prevent being shot by the white-clothed army, they hid themselves under the belly of the horse early on. At a glance, there was no one on the horse's back. At the same time, their attack formation also seemed relatively scattered, with the distance between them being more than five meters away.

After suffering several great losses, the Tatars also summarized their experience. In front of the guns and cannons of the White Army, the attacking team must not be too dense. The more distant the distance between each other, the better. When charging forward, do not go straight, but go in the shape of "中" otherwise, it will be a mass suicide.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

There is no doubt that soon, the white army's guns fired.

The Tatar cavalry that was hit fell one after another. The whistling Minnie bombs knocked the war horses to the ground. Even if the Tatars were hiding under the horses, they would have no chance of surviving. Because, as long as there was no assistance from the war horses, they would be infantry that could only wait for death. If their movements were a little slower, they might even be directly pressed on the ground by the war horses when they suddenly fell to the ground and crushed to death.

Of course, on the battlefield, any situation can happen. Sometimes miracles can also happen. For example, some Tatar cavalry rushed to the middle of the two earthen enclosures and passed through the gap in the middle. It felt like there was no protection between the two earthen enclosures. However, after they continued to rush inside, they suddenly discovered that more earthen enclosures from behind blocked them again.

These tragic Tatar cavalry suddenly realized that they had fallen into the spider web. No matter which direction they were from, they could shoot at them. Some Tatar cavalry were killed by Minnie bombs from behind. In the chaotic battlefield, they were easily lost. Because the earth enclosures all looked similar. If they were not careful, they would make the direction they were heading wrong.

No one knows how many layers of these earthen enclosures built by the White Army. According to the estimates of the Tatar whistle cavalry, there are at least three layers and even more than five layers. There are so many earthen enclosures that are together with each other. With the speed of the Tatar cavalry and the skills of horse control, it is impossible to pass them all over. This spider web is so strong that even if the angry birds hit it, they will probably only be entangled.

In fact, these earthen enclosures do not seem to be connected, but in fact they intertwined and made up for each other, just blocking everyone's path forward. If they do not change the route and rush straight forward, they will definitely hit the earthen enclosure directly. In terms of figuratively, every time the Tatars rushed through a layer of earthen enclosure, they would be brushed with a layer of skin. After several layers of earthen enclosures, they would probably brush all the flesh on their bodies.

At the same time, the gap between the two earthen enclosures also gives people a fatal temptation, and they feel that they can easily break in. It seems that this is true. These earthen enclosures seem much easier to deal with than the city wall, and the cavalry's mobility can be effectively exerted. However, anyone with discerning eyes can see that this is a fatal trap. If you are not careful, you will be deceived. Even if you have the luck of defiance, you will not be able to succeed.

The gunshots quickly subsided. The five hundred cavalry disappeared. Grusso and Bergen looked at each other, and they all sighed helplessly. It was a strange thing. Even the Bayannur grassland was so evil. This time the Tatars were really going to be finished.

...

Zhenyuan Pass is still as lively as ever.

Every day, from morning to night, the gunfire near Zhenyuan Pass has never stopped.

In the morning, Xu Xingxia stood on the head of Zhenyuan Pass, holding a thousand-mile mirror and seeing it out, and you could see that at the end of your sight, occasionally sporadic whistle cavalry appeared. However, these whistle cavalry were not Tatars, but Mongolians. They tried to approach Zhenyuan Pass. The scouts of the white-clothed army tried hard to expel them.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunshots on the battlefield are fragmented, very quiet, and very lonely.

Except for the parties involved, everyone else basically doesn’t know what each gunshot represents.

Occupying Zhenyuan Pass, the white-clothed army can take turns to fight and constantly send troops out for training. Such experience is much better than on the training ground. The Tatars and Mongols are like the most competent sparring training, diligent and hardworking.

Xu Xingxia optimistically estimated that as long as the Tatars and Mongols did not withdraw their troops, his troops and combat experience would increase rapidly in a few months, and all new soldiers could become veterans. All new troops would become old troops.

Under the tremendous pressure of the white-clothed cavalry, the Mongols who had just arrived had to distance themselves from Zhenyuan Pass. At the beginning, the distance between the two sides was about fifty miles. Later, they felt that it was not enough and retreated to eighty miles. In the end, they felt that it was not enough and had to retreat about one hundred and fifty miles.

"This guy Lin Danhan is completely out of order." Zhu Xieyuan frowned.

"He is not sure about his idea." Xu Xingxia said calmly. He could understand Lin Danhan's current mood. A very contradictory but unable to make a decision.

If you want to continue attacking Zhenyuan Pass, you are afraid of huge casualties. After all, the Mongols suffered losses last time in front of Zhenyuan Pass, and this time, it is impossible for you to continue to suffer losses. However, if you don’t attack, you are unwilling to retreat. Lin Danhan always feels that there is still some hope.

He fantasized that if the White Army and the Tatars fought, he would quietly hide aside to watch the fun. When the White Army and the Tatars were fighting, both sides were injured or died together, he would come forward to clean up the results of the battle.
