【Chapter 080】Tartar is dying, what are you afraid of?
(0080)
Along the way north, the Tatar cavalry was constantly killed, and the Tatar cavalry continued to scatter and escape. However, Xu Xingxia and the soldiers of Niujiaodun always chased the largest group of Tartar cavalry, and never divided their troops to chase. Because, the direction in which this Tatar cavalry fled was the direction in which Sobud fled. Due to the speed of Sobud's horse, after running for a distance, he was basically nowhere to be seen.
As the leader of the Tartar team going south this time, Sobud is the main target for Xu Xingxia to deal with. Whenever possible, Xu Xingxia wanted to kill Sobud or capture him alive. However, in addition to dealing with Sobud, Xu Xingxia has a more important goal, that is, training. He wants to bring out all the soldiers of the horn pier. At the very least, let them have a certain amount of actual combat experience, and when facing the Tartars, they will not be afraid.
The army of the Central Plains Dynasty fought against the nomads, and the two most important treasures to win were discipline and organization. In terms of individual combat ability, the nomadic horse archers are sure to win. One-on-one heads-up, the cavalry of the Ming army is basically not an opponent. However, the well-trained 300 Ming cavalry and the 300 Tatar cavalry fought to a draw. If 3,000 well-trained Ming cavalry encountered 3,000 Tatar cavalry, they could easily disperse the opponent.
Provided, of course, that is, well-trained. These four words are easy to say, but difficult to do. At present, all the cavalry of the Ming army in Ningxia Town can't do these four words. Even if it is the battle sequence of the Ming army in the whole country, there are only a few people who can afford these four words. The more prominent ones are estimated to be the thousands of private armed men left behind by Li Chengliang. Unfortunately, for various reasons, the number of this armed cavalry is rapidly decreasing.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Xu Xingxia's arrows were not missing, and he kept shooting and killing the Tatar cavalry.
His purpose was to kill the Tatar cavalry who dared to resist, completely suppress the morale of the Tatar cavalry, and make them have no courage to fight back. In this way, someone else has a chance to shoot them. In the same way, due to the great suppression of morale and the great deterrence of psychology, the fighting skills of the Tartars will also be rapidly weakened.
Along the way, several Tartar cavalry who dared to resist were shot by Xu Xingxia, and the rest of the Tartars were even more panicked. A Xu Xingxia followed behind them, and they already felt quite frightened. Now, there are more than a dozen Ming cavalry, which makes them feel the huge pressure even more. They were already frightened birds, of course, they would not have thought that the other Ming cavalry did not have the perverted tactics of Xu Xingxia.
Compared with the horror of the Tatar cavalry, the Ming cavalry around Xu Xingxia was quite excited and enthusiastic. Especially those soldiers who had just arrived at Niujiaodun, they felt that their whole body was in an indescribable excitement. They hardly feel frightened or frightened, and their minds are full of only one thought, and that is: kill the Tartars! The anger in their hearts against the Tartars was aroused.
The anger of the military households in Ningxia Town towards the Tartars is not the anger of ordinary people, it is almost innate. Every military household in Ningxia Town, from the moment they were born, was instilled with countless information about the Tartars. In this information, more than ninety percent of them are the damage caused by the Tartars to Ningxia Town. After a long time, there is only one feeling that the military families have about the Tartars, that is: the Ming army and the Tartars, either you die or I die, there is absolutely no second choice.
Due to various reasons, the Ming army in Ningxia Town was pressed and beaten by the Tatar cavalry, and there was no chance to resist at all. This innate anger can only be buried deep in the heart, accumulating more and more, accumulating more and more, and finally exceeding the limit that the human body can bear. When it all erupted, the power was absolutely amazing.
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da!"
The sound of horses' hooves swept away to the north.
Soon, Xu Xingxia and the others chased to the vicinity of the Black Mountain camp. In the vicinity of the Black Mountain battalion, the terrain is more open, which is more conducive to cavalry operations. Due to the relative proximity to the desert Gobi outside, there is constantly wind and sand blowing over, giving people a kind of artistic conception of the sky and the wilderness. In it, everyone can feel a kind of desolation from the bottom of their hearts.
The Tartars, who were chased and had no choice, sensed that the prospects were not good, and in order to cover Sobud's smooth escape, they suddenly turned their horses around in the Black Mountain camp and rushed towards Xu Xingxia and others. Their purpose was to sacrifice themselves to cover Sobud's retreat. In fact, when these Tartars were preparing to fight back, Sobud's figure had disappeared without a trace.
The sudden change in the Tatar cavalry caught the Oxhorn Dun soldiers off guard. They all vigilantly stopped their horses and pressed close to Xu Xingxia's side. Obviously, the sudden movement of the Tatar cavalry made them all feel a little uneasy. The fear of the Tartars that has been built up for a long time cannot be completely eliminated in a day or two.
Xu Xingxia snorted coldly: "The Tartar is already dying, what are you afraid of?" ”
All the soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and they all nodded fiercely. That's right, these Tartars are already dying. What else are they worried about. In the past, the extremely ferocious Tartar, under the pursuit of Xu Xingxia, was like a lost dog, only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back at all. The other party stayed, just to create an opportunity for everyone to make war exploits. The corpse of a Tartar is thirty taels of silver! The opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of you!
This can be said to be a skirmish between the Ming cavalry and the Tatar cavalry. The Ming cavalry totaled sixteen people. The Tartar cavalry was five in total. The ratio of forces between the two sides is three to one. However, except for Xu Xingxia, the other Ming cavalry did not feel relaxed. A Tartar corpse is worth thirty taels of silver, that's true, but you have to have the life to get it!
In terms of personal quality, the cavalry of the Ming army must be a lot worse. The gap between the two sides in terms of individual combat effectiveness is unattainable. In a short period of time, there is no way to make up for this gap. If there is no Xu Xingxia in charge, there is only one Tartar cavalry, which can make all the Ming cavalry present feel huge pressure. It is not uncommon for a Tatar cavalry to chase a dozen or even dozens of Ming troops to flee in a hurry.
"When two armies meet, the brave wins! Do you want to be a seed? Didn't you have relatives who died at the hands of the Tartars? Now is the time to avenge your loved ones! Show your fighting courage! Cowering is not the former, military law will deal with it! Xu Xingxia looked left and right, and found that his subordinates were a little nervous, so he said in a deep voice.
He knew very well what kind of troops he was carrying. Even if it is a bad word, it is not an exaggeration. Such a unit is still as far away as a well-trained army and a long march. However, elite troops do not happen overnight. No matter how difficult it is, there must be a starting point. The upcoming battle is the starting point for this. Whether or not a well-trained army can be forged depends on the next battle.
"A group of three!"
"Cooperate with each other! Don't scatter! ”
Xu Xingxia began to deploy the most basic tactics.
There is still a gap between the individual combat level of the cavalry of the Ming army and the nomadic cavalry. In order to make up for the shortcomings of individual combat, it is necessary to make vigorous efforts in coordination and discipline. The three-man combat group is the most basic cavalry tactic. The three men covered each other and specialized in attacking a Tartar. Even if you get shot one or two, you can kill the target. From the point of view of numbers, the Ming army was not afraid of casualties.
With a little excitement and a little nervousness, all the cavalry of the Ming army began to form freely. Originally, this group had to train and cooperate. It's a pity that Xu Xingxia doesn't have this time yet. The troops had just pulled up, and before they had time to start training, the Tartars came. Therefore, the current cooperation can only be more familiar people teaming up with each other. Fortunately, all the cavalry of the Ming army came from Weizhen Fort, and they were still familiar with each other.
The Ming cavalry and the Tartar cavalry fought, and at short and medium distances, of course, bows and arrows were the mainstay. Hand-to-hand combat is only possible at close range. Therefore, most of the cavalry of the Ming army carefully checked their bows and arrows. This is the basic weapon to kill the enemy and save his life. As for Gao Meng, Liu Chuang and others, those who are not good at archery will pull out their scimitars and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
The Tartar cavalry on the opposite side was also checking their equipment. They likewise inspect the bow first, then the scimitar. There were two Tartar cavalrymen, and they also pulled out their sharp scimitars and plunged them back into their scabbards. Unlike the saber of the Ming cavalry, the scimitar of the Tatar cavalry has a larger arc, and it will be more powerful when swinging. With a single knife, you can easily cut off a horse's head. Of course, the Ming army's scimitar can do the same.
Since the Tatar cavalry took a charging stance, it means that they are not ready to maneuver. They would charge at the Ming cavalry in a straight line, first shooting with bows and arrows, and then drawing their swords and fighting again. They will be like madmen, slamming into the ranks of the Ming cavalry, smashing all the battle sequences of the Ming cavalry, and then slaughtering with knives.
Compared with shooting on horseback, hand-to-hand combat at close range is the most brutal. Hand-to-hand combat in close quarters is a contest of pure strength and courage, and in addition, the luck factor also accounts for a large part. You can see for yourself how the scimitar in your hand cuts deep into the enemy's body, takes the enemy's surname, and even cuts the enemy in two. Of course, you can also feel how the enemy's scimitar slashes into your body and takes your own life, or you cut yourself in two.
