Chapter 62: Xiangyang and Nanjing III

Maybe a single Mongolian, there are people who have won martial arts, or maybe among the eight banners, there are Mongolian eight banners, and the strength cannot be said to be weak.

But the strength of the Mongolian cavalry is really enough.

And this time, the Mongolian cavalry who escorted grain and grass met Luo Dai.

Although Luo Dai was an ambush, it was a big fanfare, and he had no intention of hiding it at all. The one who commanded more than 10,000 troops to escort grain and grass was Zu Zerun. He was the eldest son of Zu Dashou.

The men and horses he brought were also the Liao army of the year. However, as soon as the big flag on his head turned, he became the general of the Han army.

Among the more than 10,000 people, there are only about 6,000 under Zu Runze's direct subordinates, except for these horses, all of them are Mongolian cavalry, as well as people recruited from Nanjing.

Before the Luo Dai people arrived, the ground had begun to tremble slightly.

Zu Zerun was shocked when he saw it, he was born in Jiangmen, and he understood this kind of movement too well, and the cavalry, the cavalry, the brigade of cavalry, were still rushing at a rapid pace. Zu Zerun still knows the battlefield very well, and all the cavalry units of the Qing army are useful, and there will never be a cavalry that suddenly appears and does not know the details.

Taking a step back, even if this cavalry was its own people, it would not have run like this. It looks like a cavalry run is cool, but it hurts the horsepower the most. It's not that it can't gallop thousands of miles, but every such military operation is a serious test for the war horse.

In every march, there are dead horses.

Although the Qing army had a large number of war horses, the war horses were far from being consumed at will. Generally speaking, during the march, if it is not necessary, it will not be carried on horseback.

Even if they marched on horseback, there were only three or five hundred people, and this was done, but it was impossible for the cavalry to gallop like this.

Therefore, those who come are not good, and they are not their own people.

"Array, array." Zu Zerun said loudly.

Zu Zerun's subordinates were veterans of the Qing army, and they were full of experience in dealing with cavalry, so they immediately guided the grain trucks, and laid out these vehicles layer by layer to form obstacles that the war horses could not overcome, and behind these grain trucks, most of the Qing soldiers and soldiers prepared all kinds of firearms.

Ready to go.

Zu Zerun wanted to order the Mongol cavalry to retreat a little as a backup. But he didn't want this Mongolian general to take Zu Zerun in his eyes at all, and without waiting for Zu Zerun's order, he took his soldiers and rushed in the direction where the Xia cavalry came.

Zu Zerun was furious and was about to speak, but he heard Zu Kefa beside him say: "Eldest prince, let them go, just delay it, otherwise this round formation may not be able to stand." ”

Zu Kefa is Zu Dashou's adopted son, but the nine-sided general adopted his adopted son, just like a general, but with a slight preferential treatment, and Zu Zerun, a genuine son, is not comparable at all. However, Zu Kefa can have today, but he fought hard with a knife and a gun, not to mention anything else, only to say that this actual combat experience is extremely rich.

Zu Zerun listened to Zu Kefa's words, his heart moved slightly, his eyes swept over the soldiers who were busy under his command, and then listened to the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and had to admit that what Zu Kefa said was right. That's not enough time.

In this case, it is natural to be a friend of the dead Dao, not a poor Dao.

Zu Zerun didn't say much, as if he had never seen those Mongolian cavalry.

To be honest, the choice made by these Mongol cavalrymen cannot be said to be wrong. After all, the greatest weapon of cavalry is speed. The cavalry of both sides hedged, one galloped rapidly, and the other stayed in place, without looking at the result, to know who won and who lost.

So the first thing that came to mind for this Mongolian cavalry general was to run. However, he chose to immediately retreat, and he did not mean to take Xia Jun's strength in his eyes.

Indeed, most of the officers and men of the Qing army lacked experience in fighting the cavalry of the Xia army.

Because the cavalry of the Xia army was originally small, in order to preserve the strength of the cavalry, it was rarely used in a large-scale formation. The Qing army could naturally encounter even less, and this Mongolian general seemed to be very disdainful of the cavalry of the Xia Dynasty, so he wanted to strike first. Defeat the Xia army.

He seemed to think that they were the only ones who had cavalry.

It's just that his dream was quickly shattered.

Because the Mongol cavalry went fast and came back slowly.

Zu Runze's car formation had just taken shape, and before he could catch his breath, he looked at the defeated Mongol soldiers, and retreated in twos and threes, these loose soldiers, as if they were the forerunners, and after a while, the large-scale defeated soldiers fled back like an avalanche.

A large piece of black pressing.

It seems that even the most basic organization is gone.

Zu Runze asked people to grab two tongues and asked sharply, "You Taiji?" ”

In Mongolian, Taiji is a kind of title, as the Manchu people call Baylor, but later it mostly refers to members of the Golden Family, or horses. Later, the term spread more and more.

"Dead, dead." The defeated soldier said: "I was killed by the first wave of Xia people. ”

Zu Runze frowned slightly when he heard this, he knew the Mongols quite well. Knowing that the Mongolian cavalry is certainly very different, but if you want to defeat them so neatly, you also need to have the ability, it seems that the person who came is not a good stubble.

"General, let us in."

"Yes, let us in."

"The summer thief is coming after him."

Zu Runze heard countless defeated soldiers shouting outside the car formation.

Zu Runze will not take these people in, not to mention their status as defeated soldiers. Just because the Xia army was chasing at the tail of the tail, he couldn't let go of the formation he had just completed, and as soon as he waved his hand, Zu Kefa immediately understood, and a rain of arrows shot out below, forcing these defeated soldiers to retreat.

It didn't take long for Luo Dai to rush in with a large group of cavalry.

Luo Dai's fighting style has not changed at all, and he can see Zu Zerun's formation at a glance.

The official road that Zu Zerun had already moved out of the way was on a slope on the side of the official road. From the top of the official road, but to attack from the back, I only saw countless grain carts, lined up one by one, each heavy, there was a gap, but this gap was staggered.

The cavalry wanted to rush in, but it was unlikely.

This is also the space left by Zu Zerun to fight back.

Luo Dai's hand holding the reins was slightly adjusted, and he took the cavalry under his command on the official road, drawing an elliptical arc, and rushed to the defeated soldiers at once.

They rolled up and walked away involuntarily.

Faced with such a situation, without Zu Zerun speaking, Zu Kefa knew that he should be ready to do it. Under his command, the soldiers hiding in the car formation opened fire one after another, and for a while the sound of explosions was loud, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the Mongolian cavalry that rushed backwards became a live target for a while. Screaming and screaming.

Luo Dai couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it.

When he saw this, he knew that this simple camp might not be easy to capture. It's just that he was a little embarrassed on his face, and when he was about to attack, he heard Ma Sanbao behind him hurriedly say: "General Luo think twice, the imperial court only has this cavalry, and it can't be damaged too much." ”

Luo Dai's heart moved, and he sighed slightly, knowing that this place was unbeatable.

Indeed, Luo Dai also knows how his cavalry came together, not to mention that Ma Sanbao is almost Zhang Xuan's personal guard, he is under Luo Dai's command, how these cavalry came together, it can be seen, there are too many losses, but it is absolutely impossible.

And the cavalry attacking the strict formation is not a good choice in the first place, not to mention, the lined up car formation, with this formation is not without flaws, but if you want to attack it, you must need human lives to add.

Thinking of human life, Luo Dai seemed to think of something for a moment, and said, "Arrest all those rebels immediately." “

"Yes." Ma Sanbao seemed to have guessed what Luo Dai was thinking, his eyebrows were slightly happy, and he immediately went down to carry out the order.

Under Ma Sanbao's order, these teams of cavalry immediately dispersed and drove the Qing soldiers who did not run far around one by one. After a while, there were as many as one or two thousand defeated Mongol soldiers.

This is also because Luo Dai fought too fiercely, and immediately killed the Mongolian generals as soon as the battle began, and the rest of the war was logical. The Mongol cavalry did not suffer much.
