As soon as he heard this, Jierhalang felt a little bad in his heart. Anyway, in the past few years, when he heard this beginning, he knew it was not good news.
Sure enough, I heard the detective horse report hurriedly, "...the Ming army, at least fifty or sixty thousand, is coming!"
He had no chance to find out, so he was driven away by the Ming army at night. However, there was no cover on the grassland. After a rough look, he knew what he knew. When he reported it to Prince Heshuo Zheng, he went to Duoli to report the information.
, anyway, it’s better than under-reporting and misassessing the enemy’s situation and suffering losses!
Hearing this report, Ji'erharang's heart was indeed a bit heavy. This meant that the western Waqi tribe and the Tsarist Russian army either did not attack the western part of the Ming Dynasty, or they simply did not have enough pressure to allow Guihua City to rescue them;
On the contrary, the entire army on the Guihua City side was dispatched and heading east.
There were about 50,000 Ming cavalry troops, which was really a lot of pressure!
With this thought in his mind, when he looked up, sure enough, he saw red dots appearing one after another in the far west, and not just the vanguard of the Ming Cavalry who had stopped preparing for battle.
They really all came, 50,000 Ming cavalry troops!
Ji'erharang's expression was stern, and the leaders of other Mongolian tribes were no exception.
After seeing more and more Ming cavalry appearing in front of them, they were so excited that they felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them, and they all stopped moving forward with serious expressions.
With so many Ming troops, whoever rushes through first will be unlucky! Only fools can do it!
At this time, suddenly, from the Chinese army's side, messengers ran towards both sides of the front line, shouting as they ran, conveying Jilharang's latest military order.
"Your Highness has an order. The Ming army only has 50,000 troops. We, 100,000, will attack as a whole and directly attack Guihua City to disrupt the situation quickly. Anyone who disobeys the military order will be killed!"
Because of the length of the front line, the messengers in a tribe can repeat military orders at least twice, so that the people at the front of the line, including the leaders of the Mongolian nobles, can all hear the military orders clearly.
The meaning is actually very clear. The coalition army has more troops than the Ming army. After the hedging, don't stop and attack Guihua City directly. Relying on the number of people, attacking the enemy will save the enemy. In a chaotic battle, the one with more people will have the advantage.
Wu Keshan and others also understood in their hearts that they really had to follow the conventional tactics. Regardless of the number of coalition forces, many of the coalition forces were actually made up of numbers. Not to mention armor, just arrows. Some of them were made from bones.
The only iron weapon I can have on my body is a waist knife that has been passed down for countless generations!
As for the Ming Army, they are now a powerful force, and the equipment they are equipped with is definitely something they would be jealous of.
This chaotic battle in Jilharang can be regarded as the best way to take advantage of the large number of people, disrupt the battle situation, and fight chaotically!
With this in mind, Wu Keshan and others sent orders to their respective subordinates one after another, preparing to act in accordance with the military orders.
This is not to say that they are really afraid of "those who disobey orders will be executed", but that they clearly remember what Jierhalang said before the expedition: They have no way out, and only by winning this battle can the Ming Dynasty be relieved.
Pressure on them!
"Woooooooo..."
The sound of the Mongolian horns sounded one after another, spreading far across the grassland.
The war horse under the Mongolian crotch snorted and pawed its front hooves uneasily.
The Mongolians on horseback and the captives all had serious expressions. They checked their bows and arrows and looked at the increasing number of Ming troops in front of them, preparing to charge!
On the Chinese side, Nikan was ordered to arrive in front of Jierhalang. He listened to Jierhalang giving him orders: "You lead five thousand of our Qing elites to fight against the Ming army commander. It would be best if you can kill the Ming army commander."
, even if we can’t kill them, we still have to kill more of the main force of the Ming army, so as to ensure the winning rate of the subsequent chaos!”
Jirhalang thought very clearly that the main force of the Ming army was definitely the elite Han army. If the Mongolian tribes were allowed to fight, they would be defeated at the first touch, which would have a great impact on the coalition forces.
At this time, it was no longer possible to hide their secrets. The main force of the Qing Dynasty was to resist the main force of the Ming and Han armies, so as not to suffer too many losses. Even if the entire army was annihilated, the main force of the Ming army would die.
Although this method of warfare caused heavy losses to the Qing Dynasty, it played a vital role in the victory of the entire campaign.
The victory of the Battle of Guihua City will affect the victory of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Nikan was obviously very clear about this, so he immediately accepted the order and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will kill the Ming army commander!"
He wanted to use this battle to prove that he was a leader among the younger generation of the Qing Dynasty, and that he was capable of taking charge of his own affairs, instead of being distrusted by the regent and sending Jilharang to replace him like before.
There was no room for nonsense between the two armies. After receiving the order, Nikan immediately turned around and made preparations for the attack.
At this time, all the Mongols, as well as the Jianlu, were almost ready. They looked at the steady stream of Ming cavalry gathering in front of them, with more and more gathering, but their expressions did not change much.
Because they all know that in front of them will be 50,000 Ming cavalry!
However, after looking at it, someone finally realized that something was wrong!
Why are there more and more Ming troops, so numerous that it seems ridiculous?
Not only was the line as wide as theirs, but it also felt like the Ming army's ranks were thicker than theirs!
This is impossible!
Didn't it mean that the Ming army only had 50,000 troops?
However, the Ming army in front of us must be more than 50,000, right? Just a visual inspection, it seems that they are almost the same as the coalition forces, right?
At that time, the most critical thing was that Ming troops were emerging in a steady stream, as if there was no end. What was this situation?
Jilharang was also a little dumbfounded!
Based on his experience, he has estimated that the current Ming cavalry army may already number one hundred thousand. Where did so many Ming cavalry troops come from?
Ji'erharang once wondered whether the Ming Cavalry was using a bluffing strategy, but after a closer look, he found no fake Ming Cavalry, and no signs of fake heads.
At this moment, Jierhalang's heart slowly sank, and his face became increasingly ugly.
The facts are before our eyes. Obviously, from the beginning, the information about the Ming army in Guihua City was wrong. There were more than 50,000 Ming troops in Guihua City, and it was very likely that the Ming Dynasty was sending troops to other places.
The cavalry troops have also been mobilized. Looking at this posture, it seems that the Ming Dynasty also happened to have the idea of eastern Mongolia, and wanted to sweep away the tribes in the eastern Mongolian grassland and the allies of the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop!
Such a huge cavalry force has much better equipment than our own. At first glance, it is a sea of red. The uniforms alone give this side an overwhelming momentum!
With this thought in mind, he looked left and right.
Sure enough, Jierhalang discovered that not to mention the tribal armies in the distance, even the morale of the Qing cavalry directly under the Qing Dynasty was not as high as it was just now!
Needless to say, the loss of military superiority dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the coalition forces!
But why, why is the number of the Ming army still increasing?
At this moment, looking at more and more Ming cavalry in the distance, even Jierhalang couldn't hold himself tight!
Your country is big and your population is large. Can you be powerful? How can you be considered a hero by relying on your large number of people?
The Ming cavalry troops on the opposite side were getting larger and larger, and they kept appearing in front of them, which really overwhelmed them.
Just like a pig and an elephant starting a tug-of-war, that feeling of powerlessness and despair!
They all knew that the Ming army was well-equipped, so they assembled as many troops as possible in an attempt to give themselves a comfort and an advantage in terms of strength;
But now, even in terms of military strength, they cannot match the Ming army on the opposite side.
So how can we fight this battle?
How to fight!
I don’t know when the Ming army on the opposite side finally stopped adding more troops. However, looking at this number, the strength of the Ming cavalry army must have exceeded 100,000. In short, it must be more than the coalition forces!
I really don’t know how to fight this battle!
Jierhalang, who came back to his senses, suppressed the despair that surged in his heart, showed a determined expression, drew his sword in his hand, clamped his legs slightly, drove the horse, and slowly walked out of the battle, and then
Turning around the pier, he looked at the soldiers in front of him and said loudly: "The Qing Dynasty has no retreat. This battle is a battle that will destroy all boats. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty and for the sake of the people, kill!"
Nikan then drew his sword, raised his arms and shouted: "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, kill!"
When the Jianlu army saw that all the princes and princes had arrived at the front of the team, they became desperate and became ferocious. They immediately pulled out their swords and shouted: "Kill...kill...kill..."
The shouts of killing from Jianlu's side spread, which naturally attracted the attention of other Mongolian tribes. The leaders of the Mongolian nobles knew that they had no way out. Seeing the morale of the Qing Dynasty, they also encouraged their subordinates to cheer up.
The morale comes.
Compared with the noise from the Jianlu and Mongolian coalition forces, there was no sound at all from the Ming Dynasty cavalry. However, the momentum displayed by this silence could be felt immediately by a third party, and it was completely suppressed.
Silenced the noise of the Jianlu coalition forces.
Jirhalang waved his sword and was the first to drive the war horse, and began to advance slowly to attack the Ming army.
Behind him is Nikan, the second-level general of the coalition.
Looking at their backs, the entire Jianlu army began to follow them, advancing slowly and slowly increasing their horse speed.
This battle was the ultimate battle of the Qing Dynasty!
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
kill!
When the troops of the eastern Mongolian tribe saw the Jianlu cavalry moving, they also began to move.
The Ming cavalry also began to move. They all drove their horses and slowly began to speed up.
A large-scale war that has not been seen in the grassland for decades is about to begin!
