Chapter 432: Choice

After the failure of the previous cavalry charge, the Niu Lu Ezhen, who fled in embarrassment and fled in other directions, made a big circle, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the Chinese cavalry.

After trying to escape with his life, he spent a lot of time searching for the team led by Dodor, and now he finally returned to where the main army was.

At this moment, he himself stood beside Duoduo with a face full of shame, reporting to him the details of the previous battle.

According to the situation he expected in his heart, the forward cavalry he led used the most elite and fierce Bayala as the arrow, and attacked the array composed of the Chinese mud kan infantry with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, which was completely hand-to-hand.

This was originally the experience he had summed up in his many years of fighting against the Ming Dynasty army. As long as Bayala fights, there will be no Ming army formation that they cannot break through.

Although this time the combat was no longer directed against the Ming army, but was replaced by the Chinese army. However, in the eyes of many Jurchens who had not fought against the Huaxia army, a group of troops established after defecting from the Houjin army could not be much different from the Ming army.

What's more, the Huaxia Army they were facing at that time, the formation of the cavalry at the forefront was still a little chaotic, and even some of the cavalry were not ready to charge until they rushed over.

This further strengthened the assertion in their hearts that the Huaxia Army was as cowardly as the Ming Army.

And the final result of that battle was also greatly beyond his expectations, those Huaxia troops were completely different from the Ming army they had encountered in the past, just dozens of infantry, plus more than 100 cavalry troops, had been fighting with them to the death and not retreating.

Especially later, the group of musketeers who rushed from the flank direction and fired a platoon of guns, their muskets, with just one tube, could be fired quickly and many times, which simply subverted his imagination and still made him tremble.

The other Maile Ezhen beside Duoduo was also worried at the moment.

He is the same as Niu Lu Ezhen, who has just lost the battle, and has never fought against the Huaxia army in front of him.

But the ability of dozens of Bayalas in the army to carry out group charges with cavalry, he is clear and unambiguous.

When Lian Bayala faced the enemy's inferior forces, he was killed and wounded by these Huaxia soldiers, which at least showed that the Huaxia army on the opposite side was a very strong team.

Melle really approached Duoduo, leaned over to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Master, time is waiting for no one now, should we fight over, or find a way to bypass it?" You've got to get an idea! ”

Duoduo turned his head to look at the hilly area to the left, where the hills were overgrown with weeds, dead trees, and rugged terrain, and were definitely not a good place to force their way through.

And the few between the hills, which are gentle enough to pass through the buttons of the large army, are not too spacious.

Retreating in front of enemy forces is an extremely dangerous operation. If the soldiers retreat under the nose of the enemy, they will be very frightened and uneasy.

In particular, the soldiers who walked at the back of the line were most likely to be shaken and riot because they were afraid that they would be surrounded by the enemy at any time, or that they would be abandoned by their own people.

This point has been described in countless books, romances, and books. Especially in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is the most respected in the Later Jin Dynasty, there have been many detailed descriptions of this scene. It really made Duoduo think about it without thinking about it.

Although the Huaxia army has not made any moves yet, Duoduo clearly knows that once he himself leads the team and begins to retreat through those narrow mountain passes, the queue formed by the team he leads will definitely be very long, and even congestion will occur.

At that time, the Huaxia army, which was waiting on the side, was likely to pursue it.

In that case, whether the Huaxia army chooses to chase after him or strike a blow at his team, it is very easy to cause the collapse of the entire Houjin army.

Duoduo thought about that kind of scene, and couldn't help but shudder, because he completely brought himself to the scene when he was chasing and killing the Ming army.

In that kind of situation where all the people fled, more than 1,000 people in his area were probably like stones falling into the water, and they could only hear a sound.

By now, there was still no sign of Yueto leading reinforcements to the north, and Duoduo had no other choice.

Duoduo gritted his teeth, now he can only choose to fight, and this stop, the sooner the better.

At this time, the pursuers composed of the Huaxia infantry behind had not yet arrived here, and it would be terrible if the time was really dragged down until the pursuers behind were within sight.

As soon as these soldiers under his command found themselves under siege, the morale of the army would suddenly collapse and become vulnerable.

Although when Duoduo retreated, he specially arranged some cavalry to block and find a way to drag the Chinese infantry behind.

However, he never thought that the little cavalry he had arranged could pose much of a threat to more than 2,000 well-equipped and well-trained Chinese infantry.

Even, he didn't think that those cavalry who fought to block the attack could effectively harass the advancing speed of the Chinese pursuers.

In particular, he had clearly seen that the Huaxia army was armed with muskets with a range that exceeded his own bows and arrows. It was even more unconfident.

So, Duoduo made a decision, and pointed his horsewhip at Meler, who was approaching, and said, "You lead the cavalry to the west and open the line, and the cavalry should divide the left and right flanks into two parts, think of more ways, and run sideways as much as possible."

At the same time, the cavalry also had to divide small units to contain the flanks of the Huaxia cavalry position and prevent them from having the opportunity to come over and hedge with our cavalry.

Tell the small group of cavalry to fight, even if you have to spend a lot of effort to engage the Chinese cavalry, you must try your best to drag them as much as possible, and not let them attack our armored soldiers from the side. ”

This Meler was also an old man, but he had never heard of his own army taking such measures before, and he pondered it for a while and realized something.

Duoduo should have heard about the combat habits and tactics of the Huaxia Army from the deserters who had fought with the Huaxia Army several times before.

I knew that in the previous battles, the cavalry of other banners on my side and the cavalry of the Huaxia Army were in a mess in the process of hedging.

The tactics of dividing the cavalry into multiple units and fighting in a guerrilla under the orders of Duoduo should have been to avoid the frontal impact of the enemy's cavalry and to delay as much time as possible.
