Chapter 772: Su He VS Amu Gulang
The Tatars retreated, coming like a tidal wave, and departing like a low tide. Seeing that the six thousand recruits shouted excitedly, and then I don't know who shouted, kill. Then 6,000 soldiers pursued the retreating Tatars.
The 2,000 veterans of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, because of the terrain, the space they can move is really limited, and when they chase to the deep snow, all they can do is to watch the enemy flee, and at worst they just release two more arrows. But the soldiers of the legged recruits didn't bother with that, they rushed through the deep snow and rushed in front of some of the Tatars who were running behind, slashing with their swords.
The number of fighters in the new regiment is simply too much. Maybe they didn't have much experience in fighting, or maybe it was their first time seeing blood. But when four or five, or even more recruits, came out of the way to a Tatar veteran, they fled in embarrassment, despite the fact that the veterans were too strong to be defeated with two fists.
"Collect the troops and return to the camp." In line with the art of war, Lu Zhuo gave a timely order to stop the recruits who were a little too excited because the snow ahead was too thick, and once they fought there, no one would be able to take advantage of it. And he won't do a loss-making deal.
The regimental commander gave the order, and the prohibition was always the first lesson for the recruits. No matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, he could only obediently retreat back this time, and then count the loot and kill numbers. Plata, who had already prepared a halfway countercharge, saw that the last chance was gone, and sighed and retreated back to Saihan Mountain with a large army. He has lost 2,000 soldiers and horses, and now he has no advantage in strength, and he is only asking for his own pleasure in continuing to fight.
After all, Plato is not without a chance to win, if he can abandon his horse at the earliest and kill suddenly, the three new regiments will not have enough time to assemble, and in the chaos, they will not be able to form an effective resistance, and only God knows what the result will be.
The failure of command allowed Plato to return defeated, and did not seize the fleeting battle. While Lu Zhuo ordered people to clean up the war and count the results, he also ordered people to quickly report the results to the sixth young master in front.
In the warm tent, Yang Chendong, who was sitting next to the stove, already knew the news of the Tatar army on Saihan Mountain, but he didn't care much. He was still very confident in Lu Zhuo's reinforced second cavalry regiment, as for the three new regiments, there might be losses in this battle, but why not be a workout? It is not a bad thing to let them feel the real atmosphere of war, and also to let them know the cruelty of war.
When Yang Er hurriedly entered the account and reported the battle report of Lu Zhuo's second regiment, indicating that the Tatar army had withdrawn, Yang Chendong's face did not show the slightest shock, as if all this was as it should be, and it was all a normal thing.
In comparison, Yang Er's reaction was indeed not as calm as Yang Chendong's, seeing that he didn't speak, Yang Er said: "Young Master, this Tatar army in Saihan Mountain is really damned, we haven't gone to him for trouble yet, but he started our idea first." Please allow the young master, I am willing to go to the second regiment and kill Saihan Mountain with Commander Lu Zhuo, and pull out this cancer by our side. ”
Yang Er was a little angry, of course, he also wanted to make meritorious contributions, although as the identity of the Yang family, he should follow Yang Chendong's side, but if he had the opportunity to perform well on the battlefield, he didn't want to miss it.
"No need." Yang Chendong shook his head and said very indifferently: "They can't make any climate, so they have to stay there first." When the time is right, these bed bugs will be cleaned up. ”
It's freezing outside, and it's snowing heavily, and it's not ordinarily difficult to rush to Saihan Mountain at this moment. It doesn't take so much effort to deal with an enemy who doesn't threaten your real security at all.
In the final analysis, Saihan Mountain is not the target of this military attack, taking Talu City and opening the passage from Shicheng to Beiming is the first thing to do. With Yang Chendong's personality, once he sets a goal, it must be achieved, and everything else must make way for this.
Even though Yang Chendong said no, Yang Er knew that there was no point in fighting for it, so he nodded and said, "Young Master, there is news from the tiger head, saying that he is going to attack the city tomorrow, and I ask you if you have any other orders?" ”
"Acting according to the plan means that I have nothing to order." Yang Chendong shook his head again. Before leaving, he had talked to Hu Mang about what to do, and this person had been with him for so long, and he was the clearest in his heart.
Hu Mang really knew Yang Chendong's thoughts very well. If it weren't for the special geographical location of Talu City, with this 10,000 Tatar army, it really wouldn't be able to be pressed by a large army, so persecuted. All Yang Chendong wants is a safe passage.
Even so, the city of Taru must be captured, and not only that, but it must not be too badly damaged, otherwise, how can a ruined city live with a large army and people? In this icy and snowy time, even if you want to rebuild the city, the conditions are insufficient.
So after setting up the camp, Hu Mang called him Su He and other generals to express his intentions. "Tomorrow take the city and finish off the enemy outside as much as possible. Even if you enter the city, as long as you are not a rebel, don't kill people easily, we must try to maintain the goodness of Taru City, what we need is a city that can live and garrison. This is what the Sixth Young Master means, do you understand? ”
Hearing what Yang Chendong meant, the officers who were originally a little unimpressed immediately looked much more serious, and immediately nodded their heads one by one, saying that they would definitely abide by the military order, try not to destroy the city, and not to kill people in the city.
In the tent, nearly 10,000 mercenaries rested for a night, and when it dawned the next morning, it was accompanied by smoke curling, and from a distance, it was foggy, as if it were a fairyland on earth.
On the top of the city of Alu, Amugulang looked at all this in front of him and sighed, "What should come will eventually come, even if this is the case, let me go out of the city to understand their power." ”
"General... Be careful. The lieutenant general on the side wanted to persuade him to defend the city with him, but he thought that the cavalry could only form an effective combat force when it hit the ground in the open air, so he finally pressed back the words in his heart. "Hehe, it's okay, people always have to die, and for a general, it's a blessing to be able to die on the battlefield, isn't it?" Laughing, Amu Gulang put on the armor sent by his own soldiers, mounted a war horse, and left the city with five thousand iron horses.
Under the city of Alu, the two sides have already set up their positions, and from a distance, they are all neatly dressed and their horses are standing horizontally, like two behemoths, standing in the middle of this heaven and earth.
The snow had stopped early in the morning. For this battle, both sides sent soldiers to clean the road to ensure that the cavalry could give full play to their greatest and strongest advantages, and the clean ground in the middle of the field was undoubtedly about to become the final place for the two sides to fight.
Hu Mang, Su He and the others were also on their horses, looking at the five thousand Tatar iron horsemen who were also neatly looking at the opposite side, and a momentum of seeing death as if they were at home seemed to be rushing towards them.
"This Amu Gulang is also a master of military management, and it is a pity that such a person should become an enemy." Hu Mang looked at all this and said with feeling.
Su He, who was on the side, understood what Hu Mang meant, and also saw that the other party wanted to accept this good general, and because of this, he shook his head and said: "It's useless, Tiger Head, this Amu Gulang is deeply favored by Tokh and does not sweat, and it is absolutely impossible to surrender." ”
"Yes, if he doesn't surrender, then he can only die." Hu Mang also knew that in the face of Su He's persuasion, the other party didn't even have the slightest intention of talking, which was already very explanatory. In this case, the war is over. If you can't be friends, you can only be enemies.
At this time, Amu Gulang was also scanning the mercenaries directly opposite. When he saw that the other party was also neat and orderly, and when he looked at it from a distance, a sense of slaughter was coming to his face, and he had to sigh that mercenaries are indeed mercenaries, just from the perspective of the formation, the cavalry of many grassland tribes can only do this.
"Humph! A good formation and strong momentum do not mean that it really has strong combat power. Come on, everyone is ready, today we will break the myth of the invincibility of the god of war, everyone obeys the order, and together with General Ben - rush! Still holding a long knife of more than two meters in his hand, with a loud shout, Amu Gulang's big knife swung forward, and the war horse under the seat seemed to understand his words, and the first to leave the team and rush forward to kill.
The Tatar iron cavalry moved, like thunder, and under the city of Taru, it was killed in the direction of the mercenaries in a fan.
It seemed to know that the mercenaries had such sharp weapons as repeating muskets, and the five thousand Tatar iron horsemen who rushed in were not too concentrated, but very scattered, and each horse maintained a distance of more than three meters between them, and killed them directly.
The feeling of the earth shaking and shaking shook the earth, like a tsunami of a mountain and a tsunami, making it impossible to calm down before resuming. Seeing that the enemy knight was coming, Hu Mang raised his right hand unhurriedly and commanded loudly: "The six musket battalions of the Independent Regiment obey the order, and wait for the other party to rush to 600 meters before shooting. ”
How to deal with these five thousand Tatar iron horsemen, when we had a meeting last night, a decision had already been made, that is, to use muskets to inflict heavy damage on the opponent.
