The Yokuz coalition was a loose coalition of large armies, and the titular chieftain of the Taiqi tribe, Ekron, was the commander of the army, but the Yokuz coalition did not have an effective military organization at all, they were more like a rabble gathered together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoEklon only sees the number of men in the Jokuz coalition, but he does not see the problems in this coalition.

More than halfway through the build-up of the Yokuz coalition forces, Sumuri had already sensed the Yokuz military action and notified Wild River Farm to retreat to the rear. And the Yokuz took another two days, but the armies of some remote tribes still did not arrive. At this time, Ekron already instinctively felt that it would not be possible to drag on like this, so he ordered eighteen tribes, a total of five thousand soldiers, and followed his war horse to kill the wild river farm.

Unable to effectively command such a large army, Ekrond needed to pass orders through his own people to the leaders of the tribes, who in turn commanded the warriors of his own tribes. This model is somewhat similar to the war model of the nomads, but it is far less efficient than the Mongols, Khitans and other nomads. It was the first time that Ekrond had assembled such an army, and first of all, the tribal leaders had limited recognition of him, and there may have been various problems in the process of conveying orders, far less tightly organized than the Mongol military in those days.

It took more than a day of marching for the Yokuz coalition to reach Wild River Farm. At this time, the members of Wild River Farm were not only evacuated, but also another farm in the vicinity.

However, Sumuri remained at Wild River Farm along with his Indian cavalry, plus a militia of about fifty men who had arrived from Wild River Farm and another farm. Here Sumuri is determined to snipe at the Yokuz coalition and prevent them from pursuing the members of the Tang Farm. At the same time, Sumuri also hopes to keep more crops for the farm.

Su Muli said solemnly, "It's the third day, although Wild River Farm is far away from Los Angeles, but if it's fast, we will be able to see reinforcements from Los Angeles today and tomorrow." ”

These words obviously made the soldiers who stayed behind a little easier, and with the scale of more than a hundred people, against thousands of fierce and brutal Yokuz, it was really a bottomless thing. The militia dug trenches outside the farms, but not enough to stop the onslaught of large numbers of Yokuz. They could also make use of the small bunkers built on the periphery of the farm, which the Yokuz would have had difficulty attacking with spears and bows.

But Sumuri had to take a company of Indian cavalry and carry out a guerrilla attack on the Yokuz. He wanted to hold off his opponents as much as possible, preventing them from destroying the crops they had just planted, while dragging as much as possible until reinforcements arrived in the rear.

After all, if the Yokuz find that the bunkers at Wild River Farm cannot be breached, they may choose to take a detour, sabotage the rest of the farm's facilities, or even threaten the members who have already been evacuated. After all, the Yokuz also had cavalry, which was what Sumuri feared the most, and these cavalry could catch up with the evacuated farm members in a day, so Sumuri needed to contain them.

On the vast plains, Eklon rode his flower horse and finally led five thousand Yokuz warriors to their first target, the Wild River Farm.

"Chief, it's a hunter!" The warrior beside him shouted to Ekron, and in the direction he pointed, a group of cavalry in green khaki uniforms was parked.

"Hmph, a group of doglegs who have defected to the Tang people, go gather the cavalry of each department, kill them, we are killing the Tang people here!" Ekron didn't know that the members of the Wild River Farm had been withdrawn, and only a few militiamen remained here to defend, and although he said it with contempt, he also attached great importance to this Indian hunting horse, which had single-handedly wiped out an entire tribe of the Yokuz people, and its combat effectiveness was very strong.

Someone also helped the Yokuz coalition army to strengthen their courage: "These dog-legged cavalry, without the fiery spears of the Tang people, are not terrible at all." ”

However, one person inappropriately suggested: "But their arrows and machetes are of sharp iron, and our bony and wooden weapons look to be shattered." ”

Ekron said, "Isn't that right?" The bravest warriors can kill the scum who have worked for the Don Army, and then get stronger weapons as trophies. ”

While this wasn't enough to alleviate the fear and anxiety of the Jokuz warriors, it did add some hope to many people, after all, sharper weapons are more valuable to any warrior.

In the distance, Su Muri observed the huge formation with military binoculars, from birth to now, Su Muri had never seen such a large military formation, so many Indian warriors gathered together, giving him a great sense of oppression, along with his subordinates, and even some people's hands holding the reins were a little trembling.

"Hmph, the Yokuz people didn't even gather their cavalry organization when they went to the battlefield, and sure enough, their organizational strength is very problematic." Su Muli understood why this situation had occurred, and before coming to the Tang Republic, he couldn't believe that there was a force that could have such strong execution and organizational power. I would never have thought that there would be so many talks and skills just to fight a war.

With his current military vision, he had already spotted the instability in the Yokuz coalition formation. If he had five or six times more cavalry now, he would have dared to lead his cavalry to storm the formation of the Yokuz and defeat them in one fell swoop, but the eighty or so cavalry after him would not be enough for a fraction of his opponent's hand.

"The right flank doesn't seem to be very solid, let's not ram the enemy, now is the time to show your riding and archery skills, let's rush over and shoot the enemy with bows and arrows to make them panic!" Sumuri gave the order, whistled, and led a group of men and horses to roll up the smoke and rush to the right flank of the Yokuz coalition army.

Ekron had no idea that the chasseurs, who were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, would take the lead in attacking them, and the cavalry he wanted to gather had not yet been organized. Eckron could not think of any way to deal with this change, and in fact, even if he had any plans, he could not effectively convey them to the coalition forces on the right flank, and the force of 5,000 men was really nothing more than a rabble fighting on its own.

Controlling the speed of his horse, Sumuri took aim at the enemy who appeared on the right flank with his bow and arrow. The Indians were not Mongols, and they did not have much cavalry and archery skills, and the cavalry company of Sumuri had only acquired this skill after months of training. In fact, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty is not the kind of archers who ride and shoot on horseback, but dragoons who get on their horses to maneuver and dismount to fight on foot (which can be understood as infantry on horseback).

The Indian hunters took the group of Yokuz by surprise with a round of arrows, and made the right flank of the coalition even more confused. It is a pity that Sumuri is very sorry, with his rapid military literacy, he knows that if he still has an army, he can go straight to the right flank to attack this Yokuz coalition army, and it is even very likely that he can defeat this Yokuz army with a relatively small number of troops.

However, Su Muri did not have so many troops, he only had more than eighty cavalry brothers that he could trust!

This tactic of wandering back and forth around the perimeter and then shooting into the formation had already killed dozens of Yokuz warriors, but the Yokuz people quickly calmed down. Even, when Sumuri shot the sixth arrow, and his arm was already a little numb, the Yokuz finally pinched up a cavalry of about 200 men.

Sumuri knew that it was not the time to fight hard, although he firmly believed that the front of the more than 200 Yokuz cavalry was no match for his cavalry company, but the cavalry company had experienced some guerrilla harassment, and the state had declined a little, and Sumuri shouted: "Retreat in the direction of the trench." ”

There is a key to the command art of cavalry, that is, it is absolutely impossible to fight hard and use maneuver to solve problems. The cavalry company was no longer a group of untrained Indians, and under the command of Sumuri, they retreated in an orderly manner towards the side of the trench dug by the militia.

The cavalry of the Yokuz thought that the hunters were cowardly, and chased after them with arrogant screams.

The militiamen who were stationed in the trenches were also a little nervous at this time, but many of these militiamen were soldiers of the former national government army, who had fired and fought, and the militia captain shouted after seeing that the enemy cavalry had entered a range of 500 meters: "Fight!" ”

The militiamen were only equipped with S1 Springfield rifles and had no automatic firepower, but the bullets fired by dozens of people at the same time also formed a relatively dense bullet net. Immediately, several hapless Yokuz cavalry fell from their horses.

Eckron also saw it not far away, and exclaimed, "It's a spear that can be fired!" ”

But he couldn't save the cavalry, the militia in the trenches were basically safe, although the horses ran fast, but at a distance of five hundred meters, these militiamen were able to fire three or four shots, and in one breath they killed dozens of Jokuz cavalry.

Even when retreating, some of the most skilled Indian hunters, who were able to use the same technique as Manguz, turned back and shot arrows at the Yokuz, and also achieved some results.

The militia cover had made the Yokuz very embarrassed, and Sumuri had already circled and back with his men.

"Charge!" Without the encouragement of the Charge, this was a bloody battlefield, and Sumuri had already hung his bow and arrows in the saddle, drew his saber, and plunged headlong into the cavalry of the Yokuz without hesitation. The saber he wielded was so sharp that it sliced through the trachea of a Yokuz with a single blow. More hunters also rushed in and slashed their opponents, and although the Yokuz people resisted desperately, their morale had already been drained when they were attacked by muskets just now, and after suffering such an impact, the cavalry behind them did not even have the desire to fight at all, and directly fought their horses and withdrew from the battle.
