Chapter 684: The Independent Regiment Arrives

"Let's talk about it." didn't want to argue with Toya on this issue, Yang Chendong used the trick of procrastination very perfunctorily. Then his eyes were on the main battlefield, although the smoke and dust were still there, and he couldn't see what the situation in the battlefield was, but he just had confidence in the Jurchen cavalry. Thinking of the later sentence that the Jurchen was less than ten thousand and invincible, he was full of confidence.

Although the 1,000 Warat cavalry were unwilling, they did have to come under the low stone pile, and when they faced the guard black cavalry at close range, an indescribable murderous aura still came to their faces, so that these Warat cavalry involuntarily stopped.

"Let's go together, don't go head-to-head with them, and use the way of fighting to consume their physical strength." One of the leading centurions instructed his subordinates, and then cautiously rode forward, forming an encirclement and surrounding more than 100 guards and black horsemen.

The cavalry kept a certain distance from each other, so that if they were in danger, they could turn around as quickly as possible.

The encirclement is formed, but whenever the black cavalry of the guard moves forward, the enemy in front of him will ride back and fight you head-on, and a procrastination trick is well interpreted by these Warat cavalry.

When they first created the black armor and the iron armor of the war horse, Wu Huo once said that although they had improved the quality of the armor to the best level, the iron armor was iron armor after all, and there was still some weight. When the two armies are fighting, it may not be visible for a short time, but if it is a long battle, the problem will naturally be exposed.

Wu Huo only has the ability to build armor, and there is really no way to solve the problems and things that may happen on the battlefield next. In this regard, Yang Chendong did not force it, on the contrary, he called Qiu Wu and Dao Xiao and talked about the solution to the matter.

One, alternate ways of resting.

It means that if the enemy is too far away and wants to deal with it with a war of attrition, then half of the team members will rest and half of the team members will be responsible for vigilance. In this way, you can ensure that you always have enough energy and stamina to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Second, bow and arrow attack.

If the enemy is close and wants to consume them by surrounding them without fighting, it is to use bows and arrows to counterattack, and the opponent's formation is thrown into confusion and they have to flee.

Three, musket shooting.

If the enemy's encirclement is set far away, when it is about a mile, that is, it is impossible to rest alternately with confidence, and when it is far greater than the range of the bow and arrow, it will counterattack with muskets, killing the opponent by surprise, and killing the opponent helplessly.

In short, it is a sentence to ensure the safety of the team members as the first priority. As for the appearance of muskets, will it make others guess their identities because of this, and there is not much that can be done when their lives are threatened.

Yang Chendong's plan is very complete, taking into account the near and far and any possible situation. Therefore, when they saw that the other party was only besieging and not attacking, whether it was Qiu Wu, Dao Xiao or the other guards, they did not have any sense of impotentness, but took out their bows and arrows one by one according to the previous plan and launched a fierce counterattack.

The Varat cavalry were less than a hundred meters away from the black cavalry of the guards, within the best range of the bow and arrow, and when the arrows were taken out of the quiver, shot through the air, and beckoned straight to the Varat cavalry, the one-sided slaughter began.

At such a close distance, and after a very strict long-range training in bow and arrow, the guard black horsemen did not say that they hit every shot, but at least thirty percent of the bows and arrows hit the opponent. This is also because the Varat cavalry only need to dodge, not to think about attacking. Otherwise, this accuracy rate will be improved.

In addition, the Warat cavalry, in the face of the bow and arrow attack of the black horse at close range, there are always people who will be shot by the bow and arrow, or fall from the horse with an arrow, if they are injured, lie on the horse, and lose their combat effectiveness.

Naturally, the taste of being a live target is not pleasant. The Warat cavalry also began to fight back with bows and arrows, but the bows and arrows they shot were also very accurate, but whether they were on the beating man or the horse, they only left a white spot and then fell down again, and there was no damage at all.

Where this is still shooting, it is slaughter. Unable to do so, the Warat cavalry had no choice but to retreat and exit the effective range of their bows and arrows.

"Rush!" Captain Qiu Wu in the black cavalry of the guards seized this opportunity, and when he took advantage of the confusion of the Warat cavalry formation and retreated, he suddenly launched a counterattack and caught the Warat cavalry by surprise. In the process, hundreds of knights died under the sharp swords.

The initiative fell completely into the hands of the black cavalry, and although the Warat cavalry had a numerical advantage, it was indeed difficult to speak. can only hang from a distance, not daring to get close. Taking advantage of the gap where everyone was far apart, half of the black horsemen jumped off their horses, lightening their weight for their companions and recovering their strength as much as possible.

This behavior of the black knights of the guards naturally thought that there was an opportunity in the eyes of the Warat cavalry, and they took the opportunity to launch two attacks. But because the distance was too far, the black riders had time to jump on their horses and make a defensive posture, not only that, but when the opponent was attacking, they could not immediately mobilize and leave, they also launched two counter-charges, and cut down hundreds of opponents.

After two shocks and a lot of corpses, the Warat cavalry became wiser, and just surrounded them from a distance, allowing the black horsemen to rest, and never took a step forward again.

Hara Ruo watched the cavalry sent out to help the black horsemen, and wanted to scold these people for being cowardly, but considering that the battle damage had exceeded forty percent, it was just a humiliation to continue fighting. He gave up sending people to order the cavalry to continue the attack, but set his eyes on the main battlefield, in his mind, as long as the main battlefield was victorious, then he could use the numerical advantage to go straight to the low stone pile, at that time, more than 100 black horsemen, will be in his hand.

The sun had set, and it was getting dark. The smoke and dust on the main battlefield are not as flying as they were at the beginning.

The smoke and dust are gone, which means that there are results on the main battlefield. At this time, whether it was Yang Chendong or Hara Ruochu, they all tried their best to stare at the middle of the field. Victory or defeat on the main battlefield is likely to be related to the subsequent wins and losses of each other.

"Kill me!"

Just when everyone was looking at the main battlefield expectantly, waiting for the result, a cavalry suddenly appeared on the south side of the battlefield.

Because it was dark, it was impossible to see how many people had arrived right away. But judging from the shouts of killing, I'm afraid the number of people will not be too small. "This is enemy reinforcements?" Hara Ruochu stood on the horse and listened intently, his face a little unsightly. He relied on the strength and number of the Warat cavalry. He still doesn't know what the outcome of the battle power competition will be, but the numerical advantage is getting smaller and smaller.

"I don't know." Rumuk shook his head. He really didn't know who was coming, speaking of which, it was the first time he had seen Yang Chendong today, and it was the first time he knew about the Five-Star Army.

The Five Star Army had also come to the grassland before, but they only came in a hurry and left in a hurry. When Chasing Feng found that his own strength was not enough to face any opponent and force on the grassland, he retreated and stayed in the Nuer Gandusi area to recruit troops. In this way, the name of the Five-Star Army is little known on the grassland.

Rumuk's answer disappointed Harawaka. But immediately after the other party's reinforcements appeared, of course he couldn't ignore it, "Go, give you five hundred people, you go and intercept them, and before the victory or defeat is determined on the main battlefield, you must not let these people rush in." ”

Hara Ruo had 2,000 men with him. In the low rock pile alone, 1,200 people were dispatched. He only has 800 people in his hands now, and being able to give 500 people to Rumuk is already the maximum limit.

"Yes." Rumuk clenched his fists and agreed, but he looked full of confidence. In fact, with the elite cavalry of Warat, he also has such self-confidence, as long as it is not an invulnerable existence like the guard black horse, even if the opponent's strength is stronger than him, he really has no need to be afraid of anyone.

Rumuk was confident, but he didn't know who his opponent would be this time. Because the sky was already dark, even Yang Chendong, who was on the low stone pile, didn't know who the first batch of reinforcements were.

Hu Mang, who is recognized as the closest person to Yang Chendong, is also the earliest person to follow the Sixth Young Master, and became the first batch of reinforcements to arrive.

Since being appointed by Yang Chendong as the head of the independent regiment, Hu Mang has put all his energy on it. Ten infantry battalions and six cavalry battalions were trained by him just as soon as the personnel were in place.

The soldiers of the independent battalion consisted of six auxiliary battalions and 4,000 Ming troops, all of whom were prisoners. It is not an easy task to bring such an army up and have sufficient combat effectiveness. Even if it is handed over to Wu Sheng, the commander of the third division, and Chen Bo, the political commissar, I am afraid that it will take a while to form combat effectiveness.

But the same thing is placed on Hu Mang's body, and the superiority of being the sixth young master's henchman is reflected. Relying on his iron relationship with Yang Er, the commander of the logistics battalion, he took out a large amount of silver taels, meat, cigarettes, wine, etc., and distributed them to the soldiers below as rewards.

Cigarettes, which first appeared in this world, have become the favorite of soldiers in the army in a very short period of time. It seems that when you are free, you can smoke one, or when you have eaten a lot, it is really pleasant, and it feels like a fairy.

Not to mention, silver taels and wine and meat are also open to supply. Stimulated by these items, the Ming prisoners showed their fierce side in their bones. In order to get more rewards, everyone held back their strength and worked hard to show in the training ground, and under the chase and catch-up, the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment is improving at a rapid speed.
