Text Volume 2 Dawn Morning_Chapter 267 The Ming Army's Re-Attack

Daleng fled from the front of the Ming cavalry charge, and by the way, led a group of cavalry to run in the wrong direction. This abruptly turned cavalry blocked the advance of the Mongol cavalry on the left, forcing them to change direction or stop their mounts.

The cavalry that changed direction only slowed down the speed of more comrades, but the Mongol cavalry, which stopped their mounts, caused confusion in the ranks, and the cavalry that could not be avoided in the rear crashed into these comrades who came to a stop unsuspectingly.

It was a completely unconscious reaction when Dalen turned his horse's head away from the direction he was going, and he didn't expect it to cause such a big mess.

Just when he regretted it, he vaguely heard the voice of his hundred households scolding him behind him, which made him suddenly abandon the regret in his heart. He lowered his head and raised the speed of the horse as he sat down.

Daleng's decisive action allowed him to break away from the front of the charge launched by the First Cavalry Wing of the Ming Army. When he looked back on the galloping horse, he happened to see the cavalry of the Ming army tearing apart the cavalry line behind him.

When this Ming cavalry broke through the defense line he was in, Da Leng hesitated to circle around and slowly approached the defense line he was in.

The dozens of cavalrymen who fled with him were also as worried as Daleng. After they followed Daleng and deviated from the direction of the charge, whether they were deceived at the time, or they did have the same idea as Daleng, they had already caused confusion in their own ranks and gave the Ming army an opportunity.

Not knowing what kind of punishment they would receive when they returned, the Mongol cavalry spontaneously followed behind Daleng, treating him as the leader of their men.

Although these Mongolian herders have simple personalities, they are not lacking in the cunning of peasant styles. What they thought in their hearts was that if the leaders of the tribe wanted to punish the people who were in the chaotic army, then they would push Daleng out as the leader, and the leaders would not hold on to the others anymore.

Daleng didn't know what these companions behind him thought, he just thought that so many people got together, even if there was any punishment, everyone would share some of it, and it wouldn't all fall on his own head.

The only thing he was worried about was whether the Lord Baihu who was in control of him would let him go, after all, the fact that he took the lead in escaping had already been seen by the Lord Baihu.

When he returned to the vicinity of the defense line with fear, he carefully observed the situation of his own hundred households among the Mongolian cavalry that survived after the Ming army's assault.

But he soon realized that his comrades from a team of 100 were arguing around a corpse. It turned out that the hundred households of their own family had unfortunately been killed in the Ming army's charge just now.

This emboldened Dalen, and he immediately returned to the queue with his companions behind him.

Although the charge of the 1st Cavalry Wing broke through the line of the Mongolian right flank, the line of the Mongolian cavalry was too open after all, and this Mongolian cavalry unit did not completely lose its organization.

Soon the rest of the Mongol front, which had not been attacked by the Ming army, sent personnel to try to reorganize the remaining cavalry and restore the gap in this front.

Because Daleng gathered dozens of cavalry around him, he was actually sent to sort out the Mongolian nobles at the gap, and was temporarily appointed as the agent of the hundred households, becoming the nobleman's side guard.

As the Mongol cavalry at the gap began to converge, the defense line of the entire Mongol right flank began to shrink. It seems that the Mongol generals who commanded these right-wing troops finally realized that although the front was full of momentum, it was difficult to block the gouging tactics of the dense formation of the Ming army.

The generals who commanded the Mongol army on the right flank were not wrong, but with the exception of the Golden Horde, who were trained, off-the-job troops, these ordinary Mongol cavalry were merely herdsmen from various divisions.

Facing the enemy, even for the Golden Horde was a difficult task to complete, and for the cavalry composed of these ordinary herdsmen, it was even more of a great problem.

Confusion is inevitable, and the dispatch of small cavalry units to reorganize into a complete front requires the officers commanding the troops to have sufficient overall control.

The advance path of the various cavalry teams must not hinder each other, and it is necessary to guard against the enemy's surprise attack.

Obviously, these Mongols, who relied on blood and martial arts to serve as cavalry commanders, could not complete such a complex arrangement.

When the general commanding the Mongolian army on the right flank discovered this mistake, he immediately stopped the order to rearrange the queue. Instead, all units attacked westward, trying to make their cavalry units automatically complete the formation of queues during the attack.

However, this order was given too late, and Cao Wenzhao, who had been in battle for a long time, obviously did not intend to let go of this opportunity for chaos caused by the Mongols themselves.

The 3,000 Guanning cavalry led by him did not hesitate to tear apart the ranks of the Mongolian cavalry again with a sharp and arrow formation.

Cao Wenzhao's arrow formation differed from the Mongols in that it was not an arrow, but composed of three arrows. He himself is the most advanced in the main attack arrow, and the most numerous.

Unlike Wu Huai's frontal attack, which was only one mile wide, Cao Wenzhao's frontal attack had almost included the entire Mongolian right-wing front.

Daleng, who had happily guarded the Mongolian nobleman's side and felt that he should have escaped, heard the sound of dense horses' hooves again.

He, who had already escaped once, did not hesitate to leave the object of his guard again, and ran to the rear.

He had only run a distance before he found that the east and south sides were blocked by the confusion of his own people, and he could only turn his horse's head and run towards the open space to the north.

Cao Wenzhao led his army along the gap opened by Wu Huai and once again tore apart the Mongol right flank. This time the Ming army did not just break through, the Ming cavalry behind the main general quickly expanded the gap.

The entire defense line of the Mongolian right flank was finally completely disorganized under such a blow from the Ming army. The Mongol cavalry, which was on the verge of engagement, fled to both sides, while the Mongol cavalry in the middle was driven by Cao Wenzhao and rushed towards their own position.

The two thousand-man teams that were previously transferred to the northwest by Guiying just happened to block the direction of the Ming army's attack.

The two thousand-man teams had just separated, and one was about to go southwest to pursue the Ming cavalry. When the generals who commanded these two thousand-man teams saw the rout in the northwest that was coerced by the Ming army, they immediately gave up their original task and faced these routs and the Ming army.

It was precisely because of the spontaneous blocking of these two thousand-person teams that Guiying, who realized that something was wrong, was given time to react.

While ordering the waving of the flag for the cavalry in the rear camp to come forward to support, he took the initiative to meet the remaining troops around him, trying to stop the surprise attack of the Ming army.

Gui Yingcha's initiative finally stabilized the two Mongolian cavalry that were on the verge of collapse in front of Cao Wenzhao.

The Golden Horde warriors beside him even stopped with their own lives, and Cao Wenzhao had already played a pro-guard family around him.

However, no one can see that behind Cao Wenzhao, the scattered cavalry of the Ming army, who had been fighting, were constantly gathering and following the direction of the main general's assault to attack.

The Mongol right-wing main formation was actually at a disadvantage in this local battlefield. If they could not get new reinforcements, the main position on the right wing of the Mongols would inevitably be routed by the Ming army.

Gui Yingcha, who finally stabilized the front, frequently ordered his personal guards to let the cavalry of the rear base camp come out to support, but the strange thing was that there was no movement in the rear, which made him angry and frightened.

Fortunately, however, he sent the Golden Horde, who intercepted the cavalry of the Ming army that had attacked the previous time, and after seeing the unfavorable situation of the main formation, he gave up the pursuit under the leadership of Dari Achi and returned to support the main formation.

These Golden Horde warriors dealt a blow to the Ming army from the side, but caused the Ming army to suffer a lot of losses, and gave the Mongol cavalry on the left side of Guiyingcha a chance to breathe.

However, after all, the Golden Horde warriors of Dari Achi had already fought a vicious battle with the Ming army, and after defeating an attack on the flank of the Ming army, with their meager numbers and the plight of everyone being wounded, they could no longer give Gui Yingcha more help.

In the array of the Ming army opposite, a general wearing red armor, after his personal guards were blocked by the Golden Horde, personally rushed out with a riding spear, and successively picked out seven or eight Golden Horde warriors in front of him.

The martial courage of this general of the Ming army suddenly stimulated the morale of the Ming army, and made the defense line of the Mongolian army, which had been somewhat stabilized, precarious again.

Gui Yingcha finally became angry, and while he asked the guards around him to go to the rear camp to urge the troops, he picked up his own weapon and prepared to personally step forward to prevent the Ming army general from breaking through his own defense line.

In a makeshift camp behind the Mongol Right Front, a group of Mongol tribal leaders were arguing in front of Chagan, an envoy sent by Lin Dan Khan, over whether to send troops in response to Guiyingcha's instructions.

The cavalry on the right wing of the Mongols were all from vassal tribes subject to the Chahar tribes, and after Guiyingcha attacked with a large army, most of the remaining troops defending the temporary camp were the troops of tribes who were more distant from the Chahar tribe or were not very at ease.

This is also why, when the Ming army seems to be in a bad situation, these tribal leaders and their troops have to defend a temporary camp that is useless, which is nothing more than not wanting them to gain military merit.

However, in Gui Yingcha's opinion, after the other vassal tribes received the order of the Great Khan, they sent all the young and strong people in the tribe, but these tribes only sent old and weak.

The remaining five thousand people are less than the two ordinary thousand teams in his hands. Letting these old and weak go to war will only get in the way. Therefore, when he led the attack, he left these old and unreliable troops in the rear.

Gui Yingcha never thought that he would be countered by the Ming army with such a powerful force, and he needed the assistance of the reserve troops stationed in the camp. Therefore, he did not leave a few cronies at all, but handed over the rear camp to the Great Khan's envoy Chagan.

However, this Chagan did not rely on military merits to become the Great Khan's personal guard, he became the Great Khan's personal guard by virtue of his noble bloodline, and he did not know much about the battlefield.

Seeing that the Chinese army led by Gui Yingcha was actually counterattacked by the Ming army, he suddenly panicked. The battlefield in the distance was shrouded in smoke and dust, and he couldn't count the number of the Qing army at all, he just felt that the number of the other party was extremely large.

This made him hesitate suddenly, how many people to send to rescue Gui Yingcha. His hesitation suddenly made these tribal leaders see an opportunity, these tribal leaders were not angry with the way Gui Yingcha treated them, and after seeing the attack power of the Ming army, they were even more reluctant to leave the camp to rescue Gui Yingcha.

These timid tribal leaders believed that their duty was to guard the camp, so that even if Guiyingcha failed, the Mongol army on the right would have a foothold. But if they attack rashly, if they can't save Gui Yingcha, but let the Ming army capture this camp, then they will be guilty.
