Chapter 710: Step into the game

"My lord, General Su He has made another request." A commander appeared at Agadorji's side and spoke anxiously.

"I know, but did you notice, there are still figures shaking in the southern forest, if I guess correctly, they are the musketeers left behind by the mercenaries, they are specially waiting for us to appear." Agadorji said with a calm look, and at the same time pointed to the depths of the guide forest, a picture of what he had already seen into everything.

Knowing the details of the mercenaries, Agadorji would never put himself in danger, which was his prudence, but why not a sign of cowardice and lack of self-confidence.

Of course, he won't take risks, it doesn't mean that he won't force others to take risks, so after he took his eyes out of the southern forest, he said to the commander beside him: "Inform Gelang and Hara Ruo that we are fighting with the main force of the mercenaries here in Nanlin, and have achieved certain results, and it won't be long before there will be an empty appearance of their troop transfer, please be sure to seize the opportunity to counterattack, if anyone can kill the city first, a reward of ten thousand taels of silver." ”

Yes, Agadorji did not want to take risks himself, but put his hope in all his subordinates. Just as General Su He thought, even his son was included.

The herald was ordered to leave. And just after these messengers passed on this order, they didn't know that the mercenary reconnaissance battalion began to move, cutting off the connection between their three parties in a timely manner, so that the follow-up information could not be unblocked, making this order the last order issued by Agadorji.

There was still a big battle ahead, and Su He was still unable to achieve an overwhelming advantage after entering the battlefield with the last 5,000 cavalry, but with the prolongation of the battle, the sharp and tenacious swords in the hands of the mercenaries played an absolute role, and more and more Tatar cavalry sabers were broken, and their combat power declined rapidly.

The addition of the independent regiment and the second cavalry reinforcement regiment greatly relieved the pressure of the previous Jurchen cavalry regiment, and in addition to the invincible black cavalry led by Yang Chendong, hundreds of people fought out the momentum of thousands of troops and horses sweeping the army, and the death toll of the Tatar cavalry began to rise.

"Withdraw." After cutting down a mercenary cavalryman from his horse, Su He, who was a little out of breath, saw more and more of his companions falling from his horse to death, and there was no reinforcement behind him, he knew that he was fighting, and he was afraid that 10,000 cavalry would be thrown here.

He saw this as an opportunity, and he believed that the mercenaries were running out of troops. Unfortunately, his ability is limited, and the number of soldiers he can command is also limited, and at this moment, he can only choose to withdraw from the army when he has no hope of victory.

"Pass my order, the whole army retreats, retreat!" With reluctance and unwillingness, Su He finally gave the order for the whole army to retreat. Although he still has to sacrifice a lot of people because of this, he really can't care about so much at this time.

Give an order, the military order is like a mountain!

The Tatar cavalry quickly broke away from contact with the mercenaries and began to look for an opportunity to retreat. It's just that the two sides were still entangled before, so how could one party be able to retreat if they said they would retreat. Yang Chendong, who was riding on the white horse dragon and no longer knew how many enemy horsemen he had slashed, saw that there were fewer and fewer enemies around him, so he guessed the other party's intentions, and shouted: "Entangled the other party, kill as many as you can, and order the soldiers of the independent regiment in the forest, shoot people if they can, shoot horses if they can't, and strive to give the enemy the greatest damage." ”

Yang Er, who was responsible for protecting Yang Chendong's safety, and the guards and others around got the military order, and immediately drove their horses away, and began to convey that the entire mercenary army was entangled behind the Tatar cavalry with the momentum of a large army after getting the military order, and in a very short period of time, nearly a thousand cavalry of the other party were left behind.

Su He was the first group to withdraw, and in the process of returning, he naturally encountered the long-distance attack of the two independent regimental musket battalions that had been prepared for a long time. This time they were not so lucky, under the order to shoot people and horses, many Tatar cavalry hiding on the side of the horses fell to the ground because of the bullets on their horses, their heads were broken and bleeding, and they suffered heavy losses.

When Su He finally fled back to Agadorji with the army, he found that only more than 6,000 of the original 10,000 cavalry had really escaped. Seriously calculated, in addition to being wounded by muskets at the beginning to a thousand horsemen, and more than a thousand horsemen were killed when the two sides fought, the price of nearly two thousand horsemen was paid when they finally fled.

In just over an hour, he lost forty percent of his troops, which was still the most elite cavalry, which made Su He, as the commanding general, very heartbroken. With an angry face, he rode to the side of Agadorji, wanting to find an explanation, and he wanted to ask why the adults did not press forward with 10,000 Tatar cavalry, when they had a chance of victory, and not only missed the possibility of victory, but also caused them to lose so many warriors.

Su He had just appeared, and before he could speak, Agadorji preemptively said, "How is it?" I said that it should be mainly a temptation, I think you have also seen that there are other side's musketeers in the southern forest, they are the biggest threat, if we don't solve them, the more cavalry we send, the greater the loss. Hey, let's talk about it after all, we still underestimate the opponent, but fortunately, the opponent's strength is limited, and the other side has lost a lot this time, and if they want to face our attack again, they need to send more troops, so that our other two roads will have a chance. ”

As if talking to himself, Agadorji made a post-war summary by asking and answering himself. actually forced Su He is superfluous words to not speak, and originally wanted to accuse and complain, only to find that there was no chance. Because there was already a trace of murder in the other party's eyes, he dared to guarantee that if he questioned the adult, I was afraid that he would be relieved of his military power and become a prisoner of the ranks.

Agadorji is a man who is extremely selfish and often unscrupulous in order to achieve his ends. Being able to break with the big brother without spending has proven everything. Dealing with such people is absolutely not a matter of common sense, and reasoning is even more unworkable.

Su He, who knew all this in his heart, closed his mouth very wisely, and the original questioning tone turned into a request for medicine.

In the face of Su He's being so sensible, Agadorji was of course very happy, and readily agreed to allocate medical supplies in the army to heal the wounds of the opponent's cavalry. As for the result of the previous defeat, no one on both sides brought it up, as if it had never happened.

At odds with the Tatar cavalry, the mercenaries were indeed in high morale and in a gratifying situation.

In the first battle, more than 2,800 cavalry were killed, more than 1,000 enemy were captured and wounded, and more than 500 mercenary cavalry were killed and more than 800 cavalry were wounded. Among them, the Jurchen cavalry regiment suffered heavy losses, and most of the people killed were when the opponent's bow and arrow were fired at the beginning.

"Arrange for the wounded soldiers to be treated immediately, and there must not be a tragic thing that no one dies on the battlefield and ends up dying on the wounded." Yang Chendong rode on the white dragon horse and said to Yang Er, the logistics battalion commander beside him.

"Please rest assured, young master, our logistics battalion has recently transferred three hundred people to practice medical skills alone, and it has been quite effective." As the battalion commander, Yang Er patted his chest and said.

"Very well, clean up the battlefield, take the captured horses and captives back to the city, and let the people there see that the so-called Tatar elite cavalry is not invincible. Anyone who chooses to be an opponent of our mercenaries will be the biggest mistake of his life. Yang Chendong nodded, then reached out and patted Yang Er's shoulder, "If the medical officer still has a surplus, let's also heal the injuries of these Tatar cavalry, or they will join our camp in the future." ”

"Yes, I'll do my best." Yang Er nodded in agreement. Treat the original opponent's injury, if it is replaced by someone else to say to him, he must be blown up. But the words came from the mouth of the Sixth Young Master, and of course he would not object. It can be seen from the word "try as much as possible" that he is still somewhat emotional.

After quickly dealing with the post-war matters, Yang Chendong's eyes looked to the north and west, and he said in a deep voice, "The first step is to plan the battle smoothly, and the next step is to look at the two roads." Let Hu Mang come over, it should be time for his independent regiment to show its might. ”

The messengers sent by Agadorji delivered the news of the Nanlin battle in time. When the news came out, it was already a little out of shape intentionally, probably because the Tatar cavalry won a big victory in the Battle of Nanlin, which put great pressure on the mercenaries, and then they would definitely send troops to aid Nanlin's side, and then it was time for them to get the fighters.

"The first to come will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, haha, good." Hara Ruo said with a laugh. Then when Du looked at the other side of the West River, there was a little more longing in his eyes.

Unlike Lao Tzu Agadorji, Hara Ruochu belongs to the kind of newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Since he was a child, he has been shrouded in his father's aura, and his face is not obvious when he was born, and he is even a little ugly, which makes him want to prove himself more than others.

Now that he finally has the opportunity to lead the troops alone, and the situation seems to be very beneficial to him, he not only began to think about how to make meritorious contributions and show his talents. He even thought that he would try his best to show everyone that he was not only the son of Agadorji, but also a general who could fight well.

Of course, Hara Ruochu is not a hot-headed person, he still decided to see the other party's retreat first, and then look for an opportunity to fight. And in the midst of this anticipation, that night, the barracks on the opposite side, which had been lit with torches, suddenly became agitated. Then, in the distance, you can see that the army with torches on the other side is starting to leave.
