Chapter 1884 Determining the situation, bloody battle in the desert (3)
Originally, pressing Mu Tu'er would mean sacrificing the lives of a large number of tribesmen, but he could still disrupt the enemy's formation in front. But now he was shocked to see two more cavalry troops galloping in formation on the vast wilderness opposite.
Come, it is obvious that the opponent has calculated his tactical intention accurately, and also wants to maximize the mobility of the cavalry and cut off the direction in which his own troops and horses can gallop back and forth.
Among the elite cavalry troops who had been preparing to attack on the grasslands under the imperial decree of Xiao and Tang Dynasty for a long time, there were already Qiyan and others who had surrendered to the Qi Dynasty. The Mengwu tribe and the Wei tribe led their tribesmen to rush out and intercept them.
Now that they have formed a deadly feud with the Tatar tribe, especially Hebulehan of the Qiyan tribe, the tribal leaders are even more eager to kill the Tatar tribe than Xiao Tang.
To divide the wealth and slaves of this powerful tribe, we also want to eliminate the trouble of being retaliated by the enemy after Xiao Tang led the Qi Dynasty soldiers and horses to leave the desert.
The riders of the Mongwu Shiwei tribe, who are waiting for work, are also nomadic tribes who make a living in this desert like the Tata tribe. The tactics they use during the confrontation are also very similar. How could they let the Tata tribe go?
Can the cavalry gallop on the grassland? Soon, together with several elite cavalry troops under Xiao Tang's command, other Mongolian, Ushi and Wei tribe cavalry also rushed towards the Tata'er tribe soldiers and horses, braving the rain of crossbows and arrows.
The chisel attack passed, and the repeated cover-ups slowed down the opponent's galloping steps. The fierce close combat between the two sides that Mituer originally tried to avoid was still inevitable...
Xiao Tang's pre-arranged battle plan was originally based on the essence of Temujin's "Scattered Crow" strategy of "entering like a mountain peach bark bush, forming a formation like a sea, attacking like a chisel and fighting through it", spreading the army widely.
, also using the flexibility of the cavalry to gather and disperse, immediately launch a series of continuous attacks on the enemy, charge in formations from all directions, respond with all their strength, and break through the attack. The purpose is to stir up the layers of military formations that the enemy has prepared in advance.
Stop its rush.
It was precisely with this method that Temujin defeated the Naiman tribe, which claimed to have a hundred thousand horsemen and was also very good at grassland nomadic warfare. According to its original trajectory, this group would become the most powerful force in the west of the Mongolian Plateau.
A powerful nomadic tribe. Taiyang Khan, the leader of the Naiman tribe who had gathered a large number of tribal soldiers and horses defeated by the Qiyan tribe, used 80,000 troops and horses to attack Temujin's more than 40,000 cavalry, but the opponent launched an encirclement and annihilation battle. Taiyang Khan
He was also killed by an arrow when he was defeated and broke through. The Temujin sect established the great cause of unifying Mongolia and accepted the title of Genghis Khan, the overlord of the grassland... And the key to Temujin's strategy of defeating more with less in that battle was,
It is precisely to encircle and divide, to block the enemy's passage, and to completely defeat the enemy's army whose strength is multiple times our own.
Of course, Xiao Tang also knew that the war was changing rapidly, and the beauty of command and deployment on the battlefield depended on one mind. If he were to lead a military force of 40,000 nomadic cavalry to fight against 80,000 enemy troops who were also good at grassland warfare,
It may not be possible to completely replicate the classic battle of Genghis Khan. But now our own side has the upper hand in the battle situation, and has also predicted the trend of the Tatar tribe moving eastward. Before the battle, we have already climbed up and looked into the distance to check the enemy's situation.
, the conditions for cavalry to break through the enemy's formation during the war have been met, so although the Tata'er tribe still has a large number of troops and horses, according to the previous strategic deployment of each military brigade, it is enough to wipe out the main force of the troops and horses in one fell swoop!
Thousands of tiger and wolf cavalry also spread across the grassland in an instant like a flood that broke a dike, and finally collided heavily with the astonished enemy troops.
The cavalrymen of the tribe charged head-on and fought without giving in to each other. Although the nomads did have innate advantages in terms of archery, horseback riding, and roundabout invasion, but now there were not only the Mengwu Shiwei tribes who supported them, but also the cavalrymen who fought hand-to-hand at close range.
In the battle, several Qi Dynasty cavalry brigades fought bravely and vigorously. Not only did they not fall behind, but they also relied on horses that were more majestic and stronger than ordinary Mongolian horses, as well as sophisticated equipment to show their invincible vigor. Among the chaotic battle groups,
The gun in Hu Yantong's hand was like lightning, spurring the horse to gallop. The head of the gun was circling like a snake. In the blink of an eye, he had knocked over four or five Tatar riders. Then his eyes were focused, and soon
He then urged his horse to charge straight ahead, where the enemy horse who seemed to be the leader of the tribe rushed towards him.
However, each other's armies were divided into countless small teams, charging and fighting in a canine-tooth formation. Soon there was also a pair of Tatar horse archers with their bows and arrows ready. When the bow strings were ringing, sharp wolf-tooth arrows were about to strike from different angles.
He came out of the air and greeted Hu Yantong's vitals. However, at this moment, one of the Tata'er tribe's leaders who was good at riding and shooting was suddenly shocked to see blood red in front of his eyes, and the cold pain suddenly disappeared.
The situation spread, and in the process of falling off his horse in shock, the leader looked at a general of the Qi army wearing an armor made of solid iron, with a flaming red tassel on his helmet fluttering in the wind. In his hand was a goose egg-thick stick
The edge of his spear was still splattering with blood, and it seemed that in just a moment, seven or eight people in the cavalry where the leader of Tata'er was was knocked off their horses. Behind the general of the Qi army, there were also a group of people.
The elite and powerful cavalry followed them to the death, like a monster baring its teeth and claws in the melee, constantly devouring the nomadic cavalry in front.
Hu Yantong noticed something and when he turned around to look around, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Mr. Yang!"
Yang Zaixing, on the other hand, was riding his horse to charge while also looking over, just like when he was fighting against Wanyan Wushu's Jin army, he was riding his horse into a mud pit and almost died when he was almost shot by random arrows.
Yang Wen, who came to the rescue, spoke like words of instruction, and loudly warned Hu Yantong: "It is good to be the first to take the lead in a battle, but you must also use your tactics more clearly, and take good care of each other with the other soldiers.
If one’s life is lost due to a moment of rashness, it’s not worth it!”
However, as Yang Zaixing spoke, the spear in his hand, with blood dripping from the blade, was still flying like a dragon. In an instant, he had penetrated deep into the brigade in front, and the spear passed by,
Although he was invincible, he just advised Hu Yantong to be more careful on the battlefield, but he just waved his big gun and rushed towards the place where the enemy's cavalry was the most concentrated, and his fighting posture seemed particularly happy.
.....
The leader of the Tatar tribe, Mutur, who finally fought tooth and nail, saw Yang Zaixing in the chaotic battle group waving a big gun, killing several layers of his cavalry, and charging straight towards him.
Mu Tu'er immediately roared and charged forward with the rider beside him. After Yang Zaixing rushed to kill, he was able to find the seemingly leader of this group of enemy cavalry formation, and he was even more overjoyed.
Energized, they urged their horses and drew their guns, until the blades of the weapons wielded by both sides were about to hit each other, and a horrific scene suddenly occurred that made Mituer seem to be trapped in a nightmare...
Yang Zaixing swung his spear and swung it at him. With the sound of "Cang!!!", the lance flew towards Yang Zaixing, and Mu Tuer, who used all his strength to stab Yang Zaixing in the heart, dared to do it himself.
He was hit hard by a rampaging wild horse, and his whole body was shaken violently. Although he could barely hold the gun barrel, every joint in his two palms seemed to burst due to the huge shock.
Immediately, he couldn't help but lean back. Although he didn't fall off the bumpy horse, the door was already wide open. Yang Zaixing's movements were extremely fast, and he waited until one shot came out, which was enough to kill the enemy in front of him.
The leader of the Tata tribe who passed by him had a transparent hole in his heart. However, there were still many enemy cavalry around him who were attacking with strange roars. Yang Zaixing spat, and there was a faint glow on the blade.
The bloody spear immediately turned into countless afterimages, whizzing out one after another. The shocked Mituer felt his eyes dazzled, and then blood suddenly splashed out from all around, splashing all over his face.
yes.
When the two cavalrymen charged each other, they struggled to kill the enemy cavalrymen in that moment of contact. After this round of confrontation between Yang Zaixing and Mutur, the horses on both sides continued to gallop forward, and they could not help but pull apart.
However, when Mu Tuer came back to his senses, he was shocked to find that seven or eight of his followers who were originally strong and fierce were missing. It seemed that it was just in that moment that the generals of the Qi Dynasty picked them all off.
Turn over to death!
Damn thief! If I had fired my gun faster, I would have killed the Tatar leader in just one moment, but it only took a moment, so it seems that I would still have to waste more time.
Yang Zaixing was also cursing secretly in his heart. In the past, when he fought with the Jin army, he broke through the formation, but whenever he encountered an enemy general whose life could not be taken into account within a circle, the guys took a few moves against him, a powerful and fierce tiger general.
, and knowing how powerful Yang Zaixing is, most people will avoid charging and confronting him again, and instead use the troops under his command to continue fighting and confronting him. Yang Zaixing originally thought that he had not been able to obtain the chief general of the Tata'er tribe.
In order to save his life, that guy would definitely lead his remnants to wander around in the chaotic battle group and avoid fighting with him again. However, just when Yang Zaixing turned the reins and planned to catch up with him, he saw that the enemy general was one step ahead of him and still controlled him.
The horse turned around and drove towards him with a hysterical roar...
Yang Zaixing was stunned for a moment at first, and then he couldn't help but hesitate, and thought secretly in his heart: Is this Tatar a fool?
