On the same day, the "Xizi" group took Guo Fusheng's body, and they quickly whipped their horses, day and night, and they took turns in three horses, and hurriedly rushed back to Jining Village to pass the information back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the Jingbian Army's emergency sentry horse, this important information of the Intelligence Department was soon sent to the commander Wang Dou.

"Found the Tartar's lair?"

The crowd will be excited.

Listening to the situation at that time, Wang Dou was silent for a while, and Wen Daxing was also gloomy beside him.

Guo Fusheng was still arranged by him to enter the Naturalization City, and he lurked for two years as a fine worker.

He is proficient in the Mongolian language, so he was spared when the Tartars searched and killed the Han people inside and outside the city, he hid in the Tartars' nest and found the opportunity to pass on the information, but he did not survive in the end, and the Intelligence Division suffered a lot of losses in the north.

In the end, Guo Fusheng recorded the first merit, and Kong Shijue and other cadres of the sentry battalion did not receive the sentry camp at night and passed on the merit, and they also recorded the great merit.

After getting this information, Wang Dou immediately convened an emergency meeting of the whole army, and finally ushered in a decisive battle, looking at Li Guangheng, Gao Shiyin, and Shen Shiqi, all of them were dancing with their eyebrows, and Wang Dou was also excited, it was time to completely solve Mo Nan.

When Wen Daxing pointed out the Tartar's lair, there was a buzzing sound in the hall, and everyone had a feeling of sudden realization, it turned out that the Tartar was hidden here.

Wang Dou also looked at the place on the big map, but it was at the northern foot of Daqing Mountain, the area of the Little Yellow River, that is, the boundary of the Four Sons of the King Banner in later generations.

According to the intelligence, most of the Tartar women and children, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and countless baggage tents were gathered here, and under the leadership of Gu Luge and others, who returned in a hurry, they wanted to flee in the direction of Mobei.

"Want to escape?"

Wang Dou sneered in his heart: "Can you escape?" ”

The situation of the Han army's conquest of the past dynasties passed by one by one, and Wang Dou's expression slowly turned firm: "The matter of Monan. It's time to make a break, let yourself lead the Jingbian army and drink the blood of the Tartars. ”

On the seventh day of the first month, Wang Douqin led the escort battalion, the cavalry battalion of the Chinese army, the Zhongyi battalion, some sentry battalions, as well as Wen Fangliang and Gao Shiyin's feather cavalry, nearly 20,000 cavalry, and a first-class army under his command, along the northwest of the Huhai and Jinghu seas to the plateau, and went straight to the line of the Xiaohuang River.

Zhao Xuan's artillery camp temporarily stayed in the area of Sand Castle, and Sun Sanjie's baggage camp. Stay with you. Always ready to deliver grain.

At the same time, he urgently ordered the Han Dynasty to march westward, led the Xuanwu Army Feather Cavalry, as well as the newly attached Mongolian battalion that had been righteous, and cooperated with Wang Pu Datong's army to camp nearly 10,000 cavalry. Go directly north from the city of naturalization. The bigger the green mountains. Directly behind the enemy, be sure to hold back, and don't let the captives run away......

……

The autumn wind swept by. Pieces of dust were stirred up, the ground in front of them trembled, and the intruding horsemen rushed closer and closer.

They came like a tidal wave, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed into a hundred steps.

Suddenly, some of the intruders in front of them pulled out their horses and swept to both sides, and this sudden action often caused the undetermined infantry to open fire and shoot arrows, as long as the guns were shot into the air, the cavalry rushed closer, and it was a one-sided slaughter.

However, the soldiers of the New Army, who had experienced the Great War of Liaodong, were accustomed to the tactics of scattered cavalry of the Tartars and luring the enemy with large horses, which was just a clumsy little trick.

Faster, the horses rolling in the rear entered eighty paces, their horses increased to the fastest, and the hideous expressions on their faces became more and more clear, some people were already preparing to shoot arrows, and some people were ready to throw javelins and other things.

Most of them raised their spears or swords, shouting and ready to fight.

At this moment, the deafening sound of the gun was heard, and the white gunpowder smoke that spewed outward was densely vacated from the front row of guns in front of the slightly fan-shaped front row, and the flames spewed out of the gun mouth were connected into a line, and it seemed that a large area of fire flashed.

The people screamed and screamed.

Hundreds of firearms volleys, sophisticated firearms, high-powered guns, and good training made this wave of firearms bombardment unimaginably powerful.

I saw that the intruders were shot by a horse, and they went from hungry people to foot soldiers, from foot soldiers to horse soldiers, and they worked hard to select and spend a lot of effort, but even if the horse army was good at riding and archery, it was so worthless in the face of cheap guns.

They howled and fell off their horses, and were trampled into pulp by the men and horses that rushed from behind.

Some of the horses neighed in alarm, and the sound of a loud fire startled them.

Qualified war horses who are not afraid of artillery and the loud sound of firecrackers, perhaps except for the old battalion, the number of people who can have in the army horse team is still small, and many horsemen ride mules and horses, or slightly inferior horses, and they are easily frightened.

The battle of the soldiers of the new army would not stop, and the soldiers in front hurriedly retreated into the formation, and seeing that the intruding cavalry was still rolling in, the officers shouted hoarsely again: "Release! ”

The deafening sound of the gun was heard again, and this time more of the intruders were shot, especially some of the horses that were mad with blood, causing a great deal of confusion.

However, the intruders on the horses also shot arrows or javelins, and some of the new soldiers were shot or shot.

At the same time, orders came from the army, the guns marched forward, and the spearmen were ready to fight.

Yang Shaofan didn't give the order for a long time to shoot the third layer of firearms, his face was expressionless, he just watched the already chaotic cavalry continue to come, they were surging, the closer they were, the closer they were, the closer they were, the closest they were about to approach the gunning soldiers, the minimum safe distance when facing the cavalry.

More and more gunned soldiers were also pierced through their bodies by the javelins thrown, falling to the ground and writhing in pain, and the Chinese army beside them was very anxious, but they could only wait for Yang Shaofan's order.

Twenty steps, the last layer of fire guns rang out in unison, in the form of fan-shaped billowing gunsmoke, rising forward again.

The soldiers and horses who were shot fell all over the ground, and the hit rate of the last row almost reached fifty percent, and the excellent horses and brave soldiers in front of them were almost swept away, and the strong smell of blood rushed to everyone's noses.

After the third platoon of gunners finished shooting, they did not bother to look at the results, and immediately fled to the rear, while the spearmen raised their spears in rows one by one.

They were divided into six rows, the first row was held diagonally, with the tail of the gun on the ground, the last two rows of fighters held their spears on the shoulders of their comrades in front, and the last three rows, like spears, were raised diagonally, forming a hedgehog-like jungle of spears.

The neighing of the horses continued, and the already chaotic intruders came to the front of the formation, and all the horses took off with their front hooves into the air and neighed in front of the formation.

Soldiers of the Forces nouvelles fired a salvo of three-tiered muskets. The momentum of the intrusion was empty, many brave people were killed and knocked down, and the remaining horses, there were few fierce horses, how dare they rush forward? Even if a small number of horses collided, they were pierced through the spear array like a string of sugar gourds.

There were only a few horses, which broke a few guns and knocked over a few spearmen.

The chaotic cavalry stopped in front of the gun formation, and the first three rows of gunmen quickly changed their tactics under the orders of the officers. It became the first row of flat lifts. The second row is slightly upward, and the third row is diagonally upward, these three angles can be stabbed closely. It can also be thorned distantly. Pick the knight off his horse from afar.

They were under the command of officers. Shouting trumpets and stabbing constantly, many knights were stabbed by several spears in the blink of an eye. There were several blood holes on his body, and blood spurted wildly.

Some of the horses that had lost their owners were also stabbed by the spears, and they fell to the ground in a wail.

The sound of spears stabbing was incessant, and the horsemen were crying before they died, and the cavalrymen lost their horse speed and were the objects of slaughter, and in the midst of a burst of hoarse shouts, many intruders were constantly picked off their horses, and then multiple spears were stabbed at them on the ground.

There was chaos ahead, and the spearmen in each row fought and marched, and those who broke into the cavalry retreated, and many of them dismounted and fought on foot, but there was no queue, which was the opponent of the strict gun formation?

At this time, the soldiers were also loaded with medicine, and kept running to the front to bombard, which was a disaster for those horsemen, they cooperated with each other, fought from afar, and attacked closely, more and more horse teams pulled their horses and fled, and finally the Ming cavalry was dispatched, and the cavalry broke into the ......

Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi and others in the rear were pale, but they didn't expect that a rough temptation would cause such heavy losses.

In a short battle, the casualties of their own horsemen were as high as hundreds, and this was not those hungry people who were threatened, nor were they foot soldiers who had experienced several battles, but a team of horsemen, ten or hundred, all of which were distressing, let alone hundreds.

Facts have proved that in the face of the military formation of the border army, it is not a way to attack and fight hard, but to drag and entangle, and the people will be consumed by hunger.

These veterans of the army have been battle-hardened and quickly found a way to deal with it.

When the Ming army took the opportunity to reach the abandoned village in front, rested a little, had lunch, and marched again, they divided the besieging horse army into several teams, harassing from front to back, left and right, and attacking frequently, a bit similar to the fatigue tactics of the grassland.

Whether it is the grassland or the Central Plains, China or foreign countries, in fact, the cavalry tactics are all the same, and after using this tactic, the cavalry has slowly achieved results.

The great power of the infantry is due to the formation of a strict military formation, and without a formation, it is a rabble.

When the cavalry is defeated, they can still run away in twos and threes, as long as the horses run fast, they can still escape, if the infantry is defeated, no matter how fast they run, there can be no horses fast, they are caught up by the cavalry, it is a tragedy.

Even if they win on foot, when they pursue, they also need to march in formation, not in twos and threes, otherwise the cavalry will fight back against the horse, which will be the same tragedy.

In the previous battle, although Cao Bianjiao's barracks pursued, he did not dare to chase too far, for fear of being entangled by a large number of enemy cavalry, so that the knights in the army would fight hard, and the infantry would not dare to break away from the cavalry cover, otherwise the flanks would be unprotected, which was also the disadvantage of infantry to cavalry, or a small number of cavalry to a large force of cavalry.

However, if the formation is maintained, it will have the disadvantage of slow progress, and in fact, many terrains cannot be fully marched in formation.

Moreover, under the pressure of the enemy, marching in formation for a long time is too much of a loss of spirit, and the soldiers are also easily tired, causing various situations.

Perhaps, this is the hope of the cavalry, let the Ming army walk slowly, and when the main force of their horsemen arrives, or even the hungry forces arrive, then they will achieve their goal.

Of course, Cao Bianjiao can't let his army walk slowly, if the food and grass are sufficient, he can stop and hold on to the enemy, but if he walks so slowly, it won't be long before there is a danger of running out of food, so he can only try to form a formation and hurry.

This inevitably gave the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, and the densely scattered cavalry rushed back and forth to harass, wave after wave, wave after wave, and the huge number of horse troops, taking turns to replace, also allowed them to maintain sufficient horsepower and vigorous energy.

They lured out of range, or made a posture of approaching, so it was okay to do it once or twice, and many times, the gunners could not help but be nervous, and a general group of gunmen on the right flank could not hold back, and fired at a wave of rogue horses that seemed to be rushing forward, causing a large sound of gunfire.

The thieves in the rear took the opportunity to rush up, and were desperately counterattacked by the spearmen and cavalry in the army.

Although this is just an example, years of military experience told Cao Bianjiao that it was time for the army to stop and rectify, and it was best to stop the army and hold on to the enemy to restore the strength of the soldiers.

And although the new army is well-trained, the soldiers also have a bloody courage at this time, but in fact, after going south for so long, the army is fighting in a guest place, Luoyang and other places, all kinds of fatigue, have made the strings of the soldiers collapse to the tightest, and if they all break out at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Just, can you stop?

On the march in formation, there are loopholes, that is, on the flanks, and in the rear.

Whenever the cavalry approached the rear or flank, whether it was a feint or a real fight, they had to stop to meet each other, which slowed down the marching speed of the whole army, after all, the rear and the forward army could not be too far away, otherwise they would lose contact or cover the meaning.

In the afternoon, Liu Zongmin organized another attack, they were surrounded on all sides, it seemed that the main attack was a frontal infantry formation, but in fact, it was a cavalry attacking both wings, and finally although the Ming army was victorious, the cavalry under Cao Bianjiao was less.

After that, Liu Zongmin launched several battles against the cavalry, although each of them was a victory for the Ming army, but Cao Bianjiao felt that the military strength was worn away little by little.

After all, there are too many enemy cavalry, although the cavalry under his command is stronger than the rogue horsemen, but the strength is limited, and the flesh and blood are not as easy to kill people as firearms, which is why Cao Bianjiao decided to attack with an infantry battalion.

He even considered letting the cavalry hide in the protection of the infantry formation, only then did the march be slower.

The situation became severe, and Cao Bianjiao had a hunch that the thieves were about to lead the main force of the horse army to arrive, and when they arrived, the speed of the foot cavalry breakthrough would be even slower, if they arrived at the foot and starving people......

Cao Bianjiao had flashed the idea of letting the battalions disperse and break through, so that the target could be reduced, and it would be difficult for the thief cavalry to determine which side was the main force, and then he broke up this idea.

Not compared to later generations, because of the firepower of weapons, you can use a variety of skirmisher tactics, soldiers can flee in a swarm, in this era, there is no infantry army in the face of a large force of cavalry to break through successfully, even in the face of the army of horses.

It's okay to break through step to step, the soldiers fight out of the encirclement, run desperately, most of them can run out, and then step to horse, no matter how fast the foot soldiers run, they are not as fast as the horses, even if they kill the enemy in front of them, they can quickly keep up again and encircle again.

In the endless wilderness in front of you, there are few places to cover, and it is easier for foot soldiers to break through on the plains and lose their formation, and this is indeed the case......

"I'm not going to give up!"

Cao Bianjiao said to himself, even more extinguished the idea of throwing down the foot camp, no matter what, he would not abandon his soldiers and abandon his brothers. (To be continued.) )
