Chapter 294 Night Attack
At this time, the generals and officials of the Ming Dynasty were even more speechless and were stunned. They were very cold when they were cold in the cold water. What's more, they walked directly into the river, and most of their bodies were soaked in the cold river water.
It was the north wind blowing, and the Mongols' cavalry were really men cast by steel and iron. The Kaiyuan generals looked as usual. There were similar warm-up activities in the Kaiyuan army to temper their will?
On the tent, Lin Danhan, wearing bright light armor, suddenly shouted loudly: "My boys, are you cold?"
A large number of king soldiers responded loudly: "It's not cold, no matter how cold you are, your heart will be hot!"
Lin Danhan was full of energy and shouted like thunder: "Go to the warriors of the Ming people!"
There were translations in Kaiyuan Army who were proficient in Mongolian language, and the generals of the Ming army were also aroused their heroic spirit. The grievances and grievances of Ming Meng for two hundred years also affected their appreciation of the warriors on both sides.
Ma Cheng was also passionate and ordered the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry under his command, sang loudly, "The whole people are united, and the mountains can be shaken. Only loyalty and righteousness are rushing to fight the bull."
"I don't sing well, I'm hum like a girl!" Ma Cheng suddenly shouted.
The voice of the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry immediately amplified several times: "The Lord will kiss me, and be as good as my parents. He will violate military laws and will not be free. He will make a clear order, and will reward and punish me. He will go to the water and fire, and dare to stay late!"
Ma Cheng nodded slightly and shouted angrily: "It's not good enough, I haven't sang the momentum of our Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry yet!"
The voice amplified a little more, and the soldiers' singing was almost hoarse, but it was full of male tyranny: "Thank you to the emperor, save the head of Guizhou. Kill all the thief slaves and find a title of marquis!"
The officers and soldiers sang red and their necks were thick, sweat came out from their heads, and the areas soaked by the river were white steaming. Facing the north wind that was blowing towards them, everyone's face was red.
He nodded with satisfaction and watched the three thousand king tents get on their horses, pack up their luggage, and guided a large number of tribesmen to go east. The Mongols in the fields were inspired by the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry Military Song, and they all turned over and launched a night attack.
Then it was the Ming cavalry, who followed the Mongols to advance eastward. Tonight would be a sleepless night. The Ming and Mongolian coalition forces won a great victory that night, and defeated the Eight Banners pursuers to retreat a hundred miles. The Eight Banners soldiers who were pursuing were beaten
He was caught off guard because the front line was too long during the pursuit process, and he was defeated by the Mongolian Light Cavalry, who fought back at night. Several consecutive groups of pursuers were shot by the Mongolian Light Cavalry, and they were very embarrassed.
Ma Cheng took on the responsibility of covering, led nearly 10,000 cavalrymen in Ming army to press forward, covering the flanks of 20,000 Mongolian light cavalry.
At night, the grassland is full of torches.
The Mongolian light cavalry with superb riding skills rolled on the horse's back and made various difficult tactical actions. They swarmed up like wolves, making the brave and fighting elite Eight Banners unable to withstand and were defeated one after another. Macheng had learned the Mongolian light.
The elite cavalry fighting force pulls and follows patiently. Once they get the opportunity, they rush up and attack them in groups, bringing the excellent mobility of the light cavalry to the limit.
The Eight Banners Chaser Front is very long, and you finally taste the bitter fruit. No matter how brave you are, you can't stand the siege of several or even dozens of Mongolian light cavalry alone.
The fierce battle overnight, but the results of the battle made Lin Danhan extremely dissatisfied. He only annihilated hundreds of enemies. This is also a helpless thing. This is the case for the pursuit of the grassland cavalry. The army on both sides was scattered on the empty grassland and could catch a large number of enemies.
A fierce beating is already a rare victory.
The vanguard of the Eight Banners retreated a hundred miles and reorganized his army. It seemed that a hundred miles away, the angry roar of Dorgon and all the Bellers could still be heard. A big victory would also cause the Ming and Meng coalition forces to die.
After escaping for a long time, he stopped to rest and killed lambs and barbecue. The whole army started to revel in the past two days. There were many Mongolians who ran away, and only more than 10,000 were left in the 20,000 army and they were still guarding the tent, but the Mongolians who ran away were
Relying on familiar terrain, you can quickly find the place of the tent.
The Eight Banners soldiers who ran away were in trouble. It was extremely difficult to find their main army on the empty grassland. They slaughtered thousands of sheep in one go, and everyone was full of oil. The daily consumption of the army outside was also
It's extremely terrifying, this is also the root cause of the Mongols' inability to resist the Jurchen invasion. Thousands of sheep have to be slaughtered a day, and the horse manure has to be burned. The forage cake consumed by war horses is also an astronomical figure. It can be said that there is no blood transfusion from the Ming Dynasty, and Lin Danhan has this
The army of 25,000 people could not be maintained at all.
Now Lin Danhan is of course very confident. He rewards the three armies with mutton with a very expensive family. The food accumulated in Baicheng is enough to maintain the demand of 200,000 Mongolians for half a year. It is not difficult to survive until spring is in full bloom. When spring is in full bloom, war horses, cattle and sheep begin to reproduce.
After drinking enough, he continued to run, allowing the Eight Banners Beile, who gathered heavy troops to chase after him, was furious and finally realized Qiu Fu's helplessness and the despair of the European heavy cavalry, and was so angry that he was angry with the rogue fighting style of the Mongols.
Macheng was relieved when he was in the middle of a large army. This is the correct way for the Mongolian light cavalry to play.
Retreat and counterattack, this large-scale cavalry pursuit battle became more and more intense. The Han infantry was left hundreds of miles away, and the casualties gradually became tragic. It was the Ming army's turn to be responsible for the rear cut and was accidentally chased by Zhenglan Banner.
In the first place, the two sides fought a battle in the northwest of Baicheng, causing the worst casualties since the war started. Macheng had no idea of retaining strength at all, and the Mongolians valued the most credit, which is one of the few advantages of the Mongolians.
Ma Cheng was disdainful to give up the act of killing the Allies, even if the friendly troops were Mongols. The northwest of Baicheng, the wind was a little less under the dry and cold weather. The army slowly stopped and turned backwards in place, facing the murderous spirit and followed them with them.
The Zhenglan Banner and the White Banner pursued the soldiers, and the angry Dorgon and Manguertai urged them to sweep away the two elite soldiers of the two banners, which were obviously teased by the Mongols' scoundrel tactics.
Ma Cheng did not dare to neglect, but his generals were a little guilty. The Zhenglan Banner is the upper three banners, and the white banner is also famous for its elite. This is the most elite cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty. Shandong and Henan soldiers and horses have been dispersed for a long time. Good
I also wiped out the rebellion last year, but finally I had some experience in fighting formations, so I wouldn't be frightened before I could fight. The horse army was a special existence in the Ming army and was treated very well. It was mostly used to protect the commander-in-chief.
The formation was lined up, and Shandong guerrilla Gao Hong cursed and said, "A good man makes achievements, when this is the time!"
With the excitement of the crowd, the cavalry of Kaiyuan was much silent. Wang Guozhen sent all the central army cavalry, and he was also the iron cavalry of the army who had been fighting in Shanxi for many years. The Ming Dynasty was not without elite troops, but too few elite troops, and Zhejiang soldiers and guns
The cavalry is an elite force, and the Shanxi cavalry is also a descendant of the nine-side elite force trained by Qi Jiguang back then. It is also a serious cavalry with eight hundred guns. The three-eyed gun has a great advantage. This thing is a fire gate gun.
