Text Volume 2 Dawn Morning_Chapter 266 Protect the Adults
After receiving Guiyingcha's order, Dari Achi galloped due west with 500 Golden Horde warriors.
When the 500 Golden Horde warriors broke away from the surrounding Mongol cavalry and there was no obstacle in front of them, Dari Achi led his men to the northwest and rushed straight to the middle of the line formed by the First Cavalry Wing of the Ming Army.
Dari Achi, who is usually silent but has a resolute personality, is the most powerful subordinate around Gui Yingcha.
The line of attack he had chosen now was not the closest route, but it would allow the Golden Horde to raise his horse speed to the highest speed.
From the time he received Gui Yingcha's order to the time when he appeared on the side of the First Cavalry Wing of the Ming Army with this Golden Horde, less than 20 minutes had passed.
The 1st Cavalry Wing, which had not yet fully adjusted its formation, exposed its soft belly unprotected to the Dazhi Achi troops who suddenly appeared on their flanks.
Rao is the knights of the First Cavalry Wing who have undergone a long period of training, and they also seem to be a little flustered at this moment.
Wu Huai, who was marching in the sequence of the 3rd Cavalry Squadron, although he saw the threat of the Mongols to his own troops, he also knew very well at this moment that if he ordered to scatter the formation, not only would he not be able to complete the task, but the 1st Cavalry Wing, which had lost its formation, would also be overwhelmed by the number of Mongolian cavalry.
He had to continue blowing the whistle, reminding the divisions to maintain formation and rhythm and ignore the next flank attack by the Mongol troops.
At this moment, Wu Huai was mentally prepared to lose half of the cavalry wing, as long as he could break up the cavalry units in the middle of the enemy army and force these enemy cavalry to disperse his left flank to the south, then there was still hope for victory in this battlefield.
Dari Achi clenched his teeth, his eyes kept on the Ming cavalry that was getting clearer and clearer. As long as the cavalry units of the Ming army can be cut off from here, then the cavalry of the Ming army, which is divided into two, may not be able to defeat their own center.
The Golden Horde warriors he led were in the form of a sharp arrow, and he was the sharpest point of the arrow. He had never doubted his plan to stop the Ming cavalry.
But just as he was letting the horse continue to accelerate, he heard the exclamations of his subordinates on the right. This made Dari Achi distracted a little, and glanced to the right.
He suddenly saw that a small unit of the Ming army, which should have slowed down and followed the end of the Ming cavalry, actually rushed towards them without slowing down.
Dari Achi quickly estimated the time when the Ming cavalry would charge them, before they cut off the Ming army. Because this Ming cavalry has already increased its speed to the maximum, and they are still accelerating.
Whether Dari Achi wanted it or not, the Mongol cavalry behind him and on the right had changed direction. Obviously, these Mongol cavalry did not intend to, like the Ming army on the opposite side, rather endure being attacked by the Mongols in vain than continue to complete the previous mission.
Dari Achi was immediately furious, he had already seen that the Ming cavalry that was rushing towards them was about less than half of them, and it was obvious that this was the Ming army's technique of breaking their tails to survive.
The purpose of this Ming cavalry was to prevent them from cutting off the large forces of the Ming army, not to compare them with them.
But these Golden Horde warriors, who had trained their muscles to their brains, easily abandoned their goals and were lured in a new direction by the cavalry of the Ming people.
Although Dari Achi was loyal to the Great Khan and Guiyingcha, he would definitely not let him rush into the Ming army array single-handedly.
As a last resort, Dari Achi still gave up and attacked the target in the middle of the Ming army's marching cavalry, and instead faced the small Ming cavalry unit that rushed towards them.
Dari Achi felt that although the combat effectiveness of this Ming army was good, in front of the Golden Horde, who was the choice of the Golden Horde for a while in riding and martial arts, it was still the Golden Horde who had the superior strength, and those Ming cavalry should not be able to hold out for long.
The 3,000 Mongolian cavalry who wanted to come to the middle of the battle were always able to resist the Ming people for a while, so that they could continue to catch up after the Ming army after cleaning up this small unit.
The Fifth Squadron of the 1st Cavalry Wing was commanded by Wang Shishi, who had just graduated from the Army Military Academy. This little banner who was originally from Jizhou Town, when he was selected to study at the Military Academy, once surprised the surrounding people.
Because Wang Shishi is more than 30 years old, but he has more than 10 years of experience in guarding the border gates. In the army, even a soldier with no background should be promoted to the general flag after 10 years of guarding the border.
He only got the title of a small flag, which shows that he is not only too honest, but also has no background. It is indeed surprising that a person like him can be selected to study in a military school.
unexpectedly got a place to go to school, and after graduation, he was directly promoted to the position of 100 households, which made Wang Shishi's worship of the emperor a little excessive.
Every knight in the Fifth Cavalry Squadron under his command was as honest and hard-working as his commander, and was willing to obey the instructions of his superiors.
However, today, Wang Shishi, who has always only acted according to the orders of his superiors, saw the Mongols who appeared on the flank, and he looked like he wanted to cut off the cavalry of the Ming army.
For the first time in his life, he violated the orders of his superiors, and perhaps for the last time. A self-assertive instruction was issued, and the squadron of cavalry attacked the Mongol cavalry units in front to guard the flanks of their own troops.
The 231 knights of the Fifth Cavalry Squadron did not hesitate to follow Wang Shi and rushed towards the Golden Horde led by Dari Achi.
When Dari Achi led his troops to meet Wang Shi's Fifth Cavalry Squadron, the knights in the front rows of both sides flew like autumn leaves.
The Golden Horde was far more cooperative with the cavalry when charging than the ordinary Mongol cavalry. These Golden Horde warriors clearly knew how important it was to stay in formation when charging.
The cavalry of the Ming army could not tear apart the charging formation of the Golden Horde as they had torn apart the formation of ordinary Mongolian cavalry before.
And the Golden Horde, who were also in armor, were not afraid of the Ming cavalry's tactics of exchanging wounds for wounds. From the beginning of the engagement, the Ming cavalry and the Golden Horde collided at high speed.
Wang Shishi, who was in the first row of cavalry, felt that he was facing a reef in the sea, no matter how big the wind and waves set off by the Ming army, this reef would not waver.
After only a few breaths of fighting, he already had five or six wounds on his body, and even his head was brought by a weapon, which made him feel cold on his head.
And his result was only to stab a cavalryman on the opposite side. As the battle continued, his speed almost stopped, and his companions became fewer and fewer, while the enemy array remained unpenetrated.
Half an hour later, the Golden Horde warriors beside Dari Achi finally killed the last Ming cavalry. These Ming cavalry were silent during the battle, and although their riding skills were worse than theirs, none of them turned around and fled the battlefield.
This made the Golden Horde, who had always been unexpected, unable to help but admire these Ming troops at this moment. It was rare that these Golden Horde warriors did not shout for victory, and the grass around them was littered with corpses and wounded.
After this skirmish, Dari Achi looked back and was shocked to find that there were now less than 300 of the 500 Golden Horde warriors behind him. Of these, 5 to 60 were wounded, and it seemed that it was difficult to continue the fighting. The exchange ratio of this battle is almost 1:1 between the two sides.
This result suddenly silenced him, and his mouth felt a little bitter. He continued to look into the distance, and he saw that the Ming army he was about to intercept had now been inserted into the rear of the Mongol cavalry in the center, and only a tail could be faintly seen.
"It's too late to catch up now." The thought crossed his mind, but his hand gripped the reins of his mount to prevent the horse from moving.
The Golden Horde, who had been invited to battle before the battle, did not ask Dari Achi to pursue him, and even avoided looking at him.
This strange silence made Dari Achi feel very uncomfortable, but he quickly reacted.
Joining the Golden Horde was the only way for these low-level herdsmen to change their status, although the high leaders of the Golden Horde were still controlled by the noble leaders.
But as long as they can show their martial prowess or make contributions to the Great Khan, they still have a chance to break away from the bottom of the tribe and become the new nobles of the tribe.
Therefore, they joined the Golden Horde with the greatest purpose of obtaining the reward of the Great Khan and thus changing their lives.
If it is unknown whether they will survive to the end of this war against these Ming troops just now, then what is the meaning of the Great Khan's reward.
Dari Achi understood the reason for the silence of these warriors, they did not want to fight those Ming cavalry who were not afraid of death, at least they would not gamble with their lives until these Ming cavalry did not exhaust their strength.
Let the strength of those Ming cavalry be consumed on those miscellaneous soldiers, and then launch an attack, this is the best choice. Although this was not quite in the interests of the Chahar Ministry, it was what the Golden Horde wanted now.
Dari Achi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said angrily: "Lord Wanhu ordered a team of 1,000 people to attack with us, why haven't they appeared yet." ”
As he spoke, he looked at his own Chinese army, and the Golden Horde warriors he had reminded him also looked back.
Soon someone shouted in shock: "Lord Wanhu's Chinese army was raided by the Ming army, how did these Ming troops appear..."
Unlike his bewildered subordinates, Dari Achi quickly looked towards the northwest of the battlefield, the right flank of his own army. Sure enough, the right wing, which was originally just a gap, has now completely become a place shrouded in smoke and dust.
After being broken through by the Ming cavalry just now, now the main force of the Ming army has attacked again along this gap. Even if he can't see the situation of the right-wing troops clearly now, he can guess that after being attacked twice by the Ming army, his own right-wing troops have completely lost their command.
He subconsciously scolded a swear word, if Lord Wanhu had a problem on the battlefield, the Great Khan and the eldest princess would definitely not let go of their personal guards, and they would not be able to fulfill the orders of Lord Wanhu, but they would be punished, but if Lord Wanhu was folded here, they would not be simply punished.
Dari Achi was about to order reinforcements, but several Golden Horde warriors around him had already pointed in the direction of the Chinese army and shouted: "Lord Wanhu is waving the banner and asking for nearby men and horses to support..."
"What are you waiting for, follow me, go back and defend Lord Wanhu...", Dari Achi shouted, as he rode his horse and ran towards his black Daku.
