"Why not chase?"

As for the servants who did not pursue the victory and were in the rear, a Han army captain who was under the ranks.

"Sir, you can't chase it!"

A middle-aged Mongol, a bearded man, quickly replied: "This is a pocket tactic commonly used on our grasslands. It is to constantly retreat with small-scale troops to attract the main forces of the enemy to form a formation to pursue them. Then the main forces of the grassland attack from both wings or the rear, which can have miraculous effects every time!"

Regarding the middle-aged Mongolian statement, the Han army captain nodded, and then commanded the minion army to continue to act as a pioneer and open the way forward.

Not long after, in the central army camp, Lu Fan and others received news from the Jinyiwei Tiqi. A large number of Tartar cavalry were hidden in the woods on both sides of ten miles ahead, but after realizing that the tactics of seducing the enemy had failed, they had retreated on a large scale.

"Hey, these Tartars actually know how to use tactics. They look smarter than Jiannu who likes to confront him head-on!" Yin Cheng laughed.

There is an extremely obvious chain of contempt in the Datong Army today.

The regular army looked down on the vassal army, while the naturalized vassal army looked down on the Mongolian cavalry of the grassland tribe, thinking that they were just a group of barbarians.

In the eyes of the grassland people, they are not as obedient as Jiannu in the Liaodong region, but they actually look down on them in their bones. They think that Jiannu is a group of barbarians who have just passed the stage of eating raw meat and drinking blood. They know to fight head-on and hard-working in war, and they don’t understand any tactics at all!

Since the first wave of harassment, the prairie cavalry has become more and more harassed.

Thousands of grassland people, seven or eight miles away, were surrounded by the Datong Army from a distance, neither attacking nor leaving, like wolves looking around, waiting for the opportunity.

Every time the Datong cavalry began to charge, the group of cavalry fled in a row. They were all one with two horses, even one with three horses, and their escape skills were almost full, so they were not worried that the Datong army would pursue them continuously.

After the Datong cavalry returned to the main force of the central army, these grassland cavalry would come back and stay around again in groups of three or three. If you don’t fight you head-on, you will harass you and disgust you.

Sometimes, these Mongolian cavalry would make a stance to charge from afar, forcing the Datong Army to prepare for attack. The purpose was to keep the Datong Army in a state of tension for a long time and cause mental fatigue, and then they would have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Back then, the Mongolian army used this tactic to fly kites and slid around the circle, breaking many strong formations, which were tried and tested.

Even if the Datong Army ignored them, as long as the marching speed was slowed down, their wishes could be achieved.

"It seems that the grassland people here are just bait. Their real purpose should be our follow-up baggage unit!" Yang Wanli and others made a judgment.

The Tartars were not stupid either. They knew that they had no chance of winning when fighting head-on with the Datong Army. If they wanted to win, they had no chance except to cut off the food and supplies of the Datong Army.

Lu Fan nodded and ordered: "The army is moving forward at a constant speed. If the Tartars don't take action, we will go to Guihua City and take their nests. If we do it, it will save trouble!"

The supplies troops escorting food and grass were elite spearmen and artillery battalions. If the Tartars wanted to make their decisions, the ending would be extremely exciting.

...........

Behind, the Datong Army's baggage troops that stretched for more than ten miles were slowly moving, and Jin Yichuan held a thousand-mile mirror in his hand and was observing the situation around him.

Not far away, Director Li of the Suning Chamber of Commerce was standing quietly aside.

"The Tatar cavalry whistle spy has already begun to spy on it. I guess the Tatars have to make our decision!"

Master Li smiled slightly when he heard this, "This is the best. All of my guards are itchy. I have long wanted to try it with the Tartars!"

The Suning Chamber of Commerce, as the largest comprehensive trade chamber in Datong Town, was traveling with the army this time, in addition to hundreds of chamber of commerce personnel, there were also 3,000 guards with the warrior medals, which was definitely a strong force.

Although it is incomparable to the regular army of the Datong Army, it is not afraid of fighting with the Tartars at all.

As the two of them were talking, they saw smoke and dust rolling, and the figures were shaking. The earth began to tremble. Countless Tartar cavalry began to gather, with at least tens of thousands of people.

Not long after, a top prairie cavalry began to continue to oppress.

The Mongolians' tactics were completely different from those of Jiannu. The grassland people were good at riding and shooting, and could roam and shoot and kill enemies, and would never fight in close combat.

A short-blade fight on the front is the last resort. Unless necessary, it is rarely a direct rush.

As before, after these Mongolian cavalry advanced three miles away, they began to take out longbows and arrows from behind. After two hundred steps away from both sides, they began to attack the arrow rain.

I will run away when you come, and I will chase after you back and harass you when you go back, using kite flying techniques to waste the enemy's death.

This is the best tactic that the Mongols are good at and they are most proud of. Back then, the Mongolian army scattered across Europe and Asia, and even the heavy armored cavalry of the Red-haired Japanese in the West were eventually exhausted from this tactic.

However, ideals are full and skinny in this world.

Before the grassland people could use their kite flying tactics, what greeted them was a roar of deafening sound, hundreds of cannons, with thunderous roars, exploded in the army camp of the grassland cavalry.

In an instant, people were swaying, and countless flesh and blood were splattering everywhere, roaring and shouting mixed with the roar of cannon fire, with indescribable tragic and desolateness.

In the Datong Army opposite, in the army formation, dark artillery was pushed out at some point, constantly filling with ammunition, igniting and firing.

The distance of just three miles has become an airtight cross-border firepower at this moment. The roar of artillery fire continued to sound one after another, completely breaking up the Mongolian formation. Their proud riding and shooting tactics have become a joke.

Riding and shooting?

Then I have to get closer to shoot. I started to be bombarded by cannons three miles away. Their firepower was farther and stronger than you. How could I fight this battle?

At this moment, among the grassland cavalry, there were many men with the appearance of leaders shouting loudly. The next moment, accompanied by the neighing of war horses, the black grassland people began to turn their horses and flee in the direction they came.

This group of Datong troops were sick and escorted a baggage army to escort food, and carried countless artillery on horseback. Is this a man doing?

Is this a baggage force? This horse-trapping is the main force of the Datong Army, right?

In the distance, Jin Yichuan, who issued the order to form a spearmen, looked at the grassland cavalry with faster escape speed than attack speed, and was a little stunned for a moment.

"That's it?"

After a while, he exclaimed, "Before I started warming up, you are already withering?"
