On the right flank of the Chahar army, in a temporary camp defended by tens of thousands of Mongol troops, Guiyingcha, who was surrounded by a tribal leader, heard the question of the Great Khan sent by Lin Dan Khan.

Regarding the Great Khan's questioning, Gui Yingcha was also a little speechless. Although according to reconnaissance, the number of Ming troops on the opposite side was less than half of the Mongol army led by him.

But the battle between the two armies was not child's play, although the steppe in front of the right-wing army was wide enough to be a favorable downward slope. But we can't let the whole army rush over in such an orderly and aimless way.

Although Gui Yingcha is known for his bravery in the army, as the number one general under Lin Dan Khan, he has experienced quite a wealth of experience in battle formations.

For example, he knew very well that once the cavalry began to charge, then basically there would be no command at all, and it was completely in accordance with the predetermined objectives before the attack and under the guidance of the forward troops.

Although the Ming army on the opposite side is small, it is also a cavalry after all, and if you take advantage of the gap in the troops when you are attacking on your side, and attack the Mongol army from the flank, then the outcome of this battle is not easy to say.

At the beginning, he first sent three teams of 1,000 people to make a tentative attack, wanting to determine the combat strength of the opposing Ming army and the position of the main force.

However, this tentative attack was quickly blocked by the other side, and the number of people sent by the other side was the same as that of his side, but it was his own side that fell behind.

Since then, the battle has been cemented here. Since neither side was able to defeat the opponent at once, they had to keep increasing their troops on the battlefield.

So far, Guiyingcha has invested 8,000 cavalry on the battlefield, and the Ming army on the opposite side has also invested at least 6 thousand-man teams.

What made Gui Yingcha feel helpless and angry was that the core of the Ming cavalry on the battlefield was obviously a cavalry unit composed of several Mongols.

These Mongols, who were clearly from the right-wing Mongol tribes, not only raised their knives against the Great Khan's army, but also seemed to have a great deal of hatred and fought without regard for their own lives.

It was the hard work of these Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield that enabled the Ming army, which was inferior in numbers, to never fall behind.

Originally, Gui Yingcha also wanted to polish the Ming army again, after all, he still had 17,000 cavalry by his side, as long as the tactics of increasing troops were constantly adopted, the Ming army would soon have no manpower to support.

However, the angry questioning from the Great Khan made it impossible for Gui Yingcha to continue his tactics. However, the two sides fought during this time, which made him think that he already had an understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

Compared with their own Mongolian cavalry, these Ming cavalry were still slightly inferior, although they showed tenacity on the battlefield.

Moreover, after continuously increasing the number of troops, more than half of the troops of the Ming army on the opposite side have been mobilized, and the rest is less than 5,000 people.

After estimating the strength comparison between himself and the Ming army, Gui Yingcha decided to follow the wishes of the Great Khan, defeat the Ming army on the opposite side as soon as possible, and complete the battle plan formulated by the Great Khan.

"Chagan, since you are here on behalf of the Great Khan, then you are here to sweep the battle for me, and use your eyes to see how I defeated the Ming army on the opposite side, and I can go back and report to the Great Khan..."

The chief general of the left wing of the Ming army, who has also been paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, Cao Wenzhao suddenly felt the blood on his body boiling a little after seeing the Mongolian main formation on the opposite side in the telescope.

He put down his binoculars and said to Wu Huai beside him: "The main force of the Mongols has finally moved, and the next thing is to look at your first wing."

According to the plan drawn up by the General Staff, we must not only hold back the Mongol attack, but also squeeze these Mongols into the Chinese chariot formation to the south.

Use Zuo Liangyu's chariot formation as an anvil, and you are the hammer to smash the right wing of the Mongols on the anvil. ”

After Wu Huai saluted Cao Wenzhao with his fists, he said calmly: "As long as there is still a horse in the first wing, we will not forget Your Majesty's grace, and we will win this battle to offer victory to Your Majesty." ”

Although he and Wu Huai were both born in the Liaodong Army, Cao Wenzhao had no impression of him in the past, after all, Cao Wenzhao was born in the general's family, and the starting point for entering the army was many times higher than Wu Huai.

Originally, Cao Wenzhao thought that an unknown person like Wu Huai could be appreciated by the emperor, mostly because he had gone through the door or relied on a mouth.

However, these days, marching and practicing with Wu Huai, and running in the cooperation between the two sides, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Wu Huai.

Therefore, before going to the battlefield, Cao Wenzhao specially instructed Wu Huai to let him understand what his main task was after going to the battlefield.

Although the time has not exceeded 10 months, the first cavalry wing has changed all the equipment and clothing, to the selection of horses, and the daily diet of men and horses, all of which show the emperor's importance to this unit.

Many cavalrymen went from being reluctant before being transferred to quickly integrating into this cavalry training camp and determining their sense of belonging to this cavalry, mainly because of the feeling of being valued.

Especially after the military flag of the First Cavalry Wing was awarded, the uniformity of military robes and cloaks cut out of brocade really set off these cavalry too heroic.

After seeing the uniforms and equipment of the First Cavalry Wing, many local cavalrymen expressed their willingness to join this cavalry wing, even if the food was worse and the military salary was less.

The envy of the cavalry in these places made the officers and men of the First Cavalry Wing, who were already imposing, pay more attention to their own image.

They even acquiesced, and a rumor circulated in the army said that after the First Cavalry Wing returned to the capital, it would be His Majesty's future bodyguard and the first force to defend His Majesty's personal expedition.

The good treatment, coupled with the envy of the friendly troops, made the members of the First Cavalry Wing finally realize the sense of honor of being a soldier.

But the only regret is that for the preferential treatment of the First Cavalry Wing, there are not only voices of envy from others, but also voices of slander because of jealousy.

Among the rumors that slandered the First Cavalry Wing, one of the main points was that the First Cavalry Wing that had never been on the battlefield was a flock of pheasants, although they usually looked as plump and beautiful as phoenixes, but after going to the battlefield, these pheasants would show their original form and become pheasants running around being chased by the enemy on the battlefield.

Because of these rumors, the officers and men of the 1st Cavalry Wing have already had several skirmishes with friendly forces. Although after the base camp found out, an order was issued strictly forbidding discussion of the combat effectiveness of the 1st Cavalry Wing.

But the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Wing knew that what was needed to completely shatter the rumors that had smeared them was an undoubted victory.

When Wu Huai accepted the order to return to the camp of the 1st Cavalry Wing, soon the cavalrymen who were still resting began to put on armor and tie their mounts to saddle sheaths.

Naturally, these tasks were not done by the cavalry alone, and each cavalry would be assisted by two auxiliaries, so in a very short time, the six cavalry squadrons of the 1st Cavalry Wing had completed the preparation for the attack.

Each cavalry squadron was about 200-240 men, and each cavalry squadron was divided into three cavalry squads.

Unlike the Mongols' imposing thousand-man charge, according to the cavalry combat regulations set by the General Staff, the 1st Cavalry Wing was used as a cavalry squadron as a charging unit after it went to the battlefield.

Each cavalry squadron is divided into 5 horizontal formations, and each cavalry attack is spaced 4 meters from its colleagues in the front, rear, left, and right sides. It was not that the generals of the Ming army thought that it was not good to shorten the distance between the cavalry, but that the training level of the Ming army was not enough, and once it was less than this distance, it was easy to collide with the cavalry or automatically spread to the two wings.

A cavalry squadron spread out about 100 paces wide, and Wu Huai summoned the commander of a cavalry squadron and laid out his own tactics for them simply.

He arranged the tactics of attacking side by side with three cavalry squadrons in a column of two cavalry squadrons, with a distance of 20 paces between each cavalry squadron.

They first maintained formation and attacked the enemy's right flank. After smashing the cavalry formation on the enemy's right flank, they formed two cavalry squadrons and launched a counterattack on the enemy's flank and rear. Make sure that the entire enemy army flees to the south, rather than staying where it is and engaging in a melee with them.

"The most important thing about this attack is to stay in formation and keep the horses moving. Without the formation, we could not drive away the scattered Mongols.

And without speed, we will be entangled by some Mongols, thus giving other Mongols the opportunity to put their ranks together.

Therefore, I hope that you will not be too war-like, and will not forget your own combat mission for the sake of a few Mongol heads. Otherwise, even if I get more, I will definitely punish them severely. On the contrary, I will personally present your credit to Your Majesty, do you understand? ”

After Wu Huai issued the battle plan, he sternly warned his generals, and these military attachés, who were originally a little emotional, finally calmed down a little.

Seeing Wu Huai leading the First Cavalry Wing and attacking in a neat cavalry phalanx, Cao Wenzhao was also a little unsure in his heart, whether this cavalry that looked mighty could fight.

However, before that, he had already made his descendants, the three thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry, ready to go on the expedition. According to his experience in warfare, the Mongols were not organized in their battles and relied entirely on the command of their commanders.

Even if there are more Mongols on the battlefield, if the Lord is killed or fled, then even if the Mongols still have the advantage on the entire battlefield, they will be inexplicably defeated.

Although the battle plan given to him by the staff of the base camp was to force the Mongol cavalry to go south, Cao Wenzhao thought in his heart that in fact, directly defeating the main general of the Mongol right wing might be more likely to cause the collapse of the Mongol right flank.

Of course, he wouldn't say it so directly, but he was ready, as long as Wu Huai's First Cavalry Wing could open the passage to the main general of the Mongolian right wing, he would lead his headquarters to carry out a surprise attack on the main general of the other side.
