Despite the death of Taichiwu, the other Mongols continued to rush forward. From the clairvoyant mirror, Xu Xingxia did not find that the Mongols had the slightest momentum to slow down their attack. If we put aside all other factors, purely in terms of the quality of the army, the quality of the Mongolian cavalry is indeed relatively strong. As natural nomads, their combat effectiveness on horseback is indeed unattainable. No wonder the Ming army was always defeated.

Of course, Xu Xingxia can also feel that these Mongolian cavalry are a bit brainless. They shouldn't have rushed straight up like that. The Mongol cavalry, in the final analysis, was still light cavalry. The main role of the light cavalry is to sneak attack, intercept, attack, and flank attack, rather than launching a frontal attack. As if they are now, launching a frontal attack, in fact, they can't take advantage of anything at all. On the contrary, they also let themselves suffer a large number of casualties.

Having the experience of the last battle at Zhenyuanguan, Lin Dan Khan should understand very well that the muskets equipped by the white-clothed army are definitely not the muskets used by the ordinary Ming army. The muskets of the white-clothed army were capable of inflicting damage on the Mongols from a great distance. If they launch a frontal attack, they will fall into the hands of the white-clothed army. What the white-clothed army wants to see most is that the Mongolian cavalry is rushing up in a straight line like this, and there is no tactics at all.

Perhaps, in the concept of the Mongols, in such a frontal battle, the Han army is definitely not their opponent. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army has declined very rapidly. The Ming army is no longer the army that could drive the Mongols away thousands of miles away. Since the Tumubao Incident, the Han Chinese army has not dared to challenge them head-on. Every border conflict ended with the victory of the nomads.

Later, Altan Khan led tens of thousands of troops to surround the Beijing Division, which made all the nomadic cavalry see the weakness of the Ming army. In the attack launched by Altan Khan, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was indeed not flattering. The performance of Qiu Luan, the general soldier of Datong, made them scoff even more. In their opinion, to defeat the Ming army, they didn't need any tactics at all, they only needed to urge the war horse, wave the weapon, and rush forward directly.

It was under the influence of such deep-rooted ideas that the Mongols did not make a special tactical change to the White Coats. They still used the same tactics as before. From top to bottom, they all thought that they only needed to use their previous tactics to the extreme, and they could easily defeat the white army. Therefore, they completely ignored their own casualties and launched one attack after another. The companion in front fell, and the companion in the back immediately followed, launching an even more frantic onslaught. They firmly believed that under their crazy onslaught, the white-clothed army would definitely collapse.

The heart of General Lin Shenhe has long been mentioned in his throat. This battle, from the very beginning, he was involved. As an old Chiang, he must admit that this battle was the fiercest, most tense, and bloodiest battle he had ever seen in his life. Until now, he has not been able to judge who will win the battle on both sides. However, he was sure that if it was the Ningxia Zhen army under his command, it was estimated that it would have collapsed long ago.

More than 8,000 Mongolian cavalry launched an attack without life, and the destructive power was absolutely terrifying. In Ningxia Town, as long as thousands of Tatar cavalry went south, it would cause a huge panic, not to mention the Mongol cavalry close to tens of thousands. Even a combination of the van and the musketeers would have been able to stop such a frantic attack. The most conservative estimate is that even 50,000 Ming infantry could not withstand such an onslaught. Without the protection of the strong city walls, the Ming army would have collapsed. The end result is most likely the total annihilation of the army.

However, Xu Xingxia used the same number of white-clothed troops to block the crazy attack of the Mongols, and also caused great damage to the Mongols. The battle continues to this day, and the White Coats show not the slightest sign of collapse. On the contrary, he also perceives the situation of becoming more and more courageous and stronger the more he fights. Compared with the two, the performance of the white army is indeed too prominent. It is no wonder that Xu Xingxia was able to be arrogant and arrogant in Ningxia. If you have such an army in hand, you also have the qualifications to be arrogant and arrogant!

As an old man close to fifty years old, Lin Shenhe has absolutely no respect for Xu Xingxia in his heart, except for his submission and obedience on the surface. The reason why he surrendered to Xu Xingxia was not because he was captured by the white-clothed army, but because he was a little disappointed in his boss and the court. They are indeed too [***], too dark. If it weren't for their [***] darkness, Ningxia Town wouldn't have been tossed into what it is now.

However, all this has nothing to do with Xu Xingxia. In Lin Shenhe's eyes, Xu Xingxia is simply a junior character. The old people will never have a good impression of the arrogance of the small characters. It's just that he is emotionally introverted and hasn't shown it. He even felt that people like Xu Xingxia couldn't last long. Maybe he can be arrogant for a while, be in the limelight for a while, and then slowly fall silent.

However, now, Lin Shenhe's opinion of Xu Xingxia has changed a lot. After witnessing the battle between the white-clothed army and the Mongols, Lin Shenhe's thinking has changed a lot. As an army general, who doesn't want their country's army to be able to sweep away foreign nations, be able to submit to the four seas, and all nations will come to court? As a general in Ningxia Town, Lin Shenhe's most painful thing is estimated to be that the Tatars attack south every year, but he has no ability to expel them. Until Xu Xingxia appeared, this situation could be guessed to improve the fundamental surname.

Is the White Army the army of the Ming Kingdom? Yes, definitely! The top and bottom of the white-clothed army are basically military households in Ningxia Town, and Xu Xingxia himself is a native of Ningxia Town. If they don't belong to the Ming army, who belongs to the Ming army? As for the white-clothed army's blatant rebellion, Lin Shenhe slowly had his own understanding. Lin Shenhe believes that Xu Xingxia was also forced to come to this point. If it weren't for the rash actions of Li Maohui, Li Guozhen and others, how could they force Xu Xingxia onto the road of rebellion? Xu Xingxia has no need to rebel at all!

If the imperial court can sit down with Xu Xingxia calmly and talk about it in the future, the word rebellion can be completely erased. Not to mention anything else, it's just that the white-clothed army defeated the Tatars, defeated the Mongols, recovered the Bayannur grassland, and guided the Tuyuhun people to the court. Lin Shenhe felt that if he was His Majesty the Emperor, he would definitely forgive Xu Xingxia. Even, it is necessary to vigorously reuse Xu Xingxia, so that he can continue to expand the territory for the Ming Kingdom and surrender to the four seas.

Even, Lin Shenhe didn't know from which corner, and he accidentally learned that Xu Xingxia and a certain female surname in the imperial court seemed to have some special relationship, and the two vaguely had some close contacts. No one can say for sure what the relationship between the two is. But what is certain is that there is some mysterious connection between Xu Xingxia and the imperial court. This fully shows that he and the court have the possibility of alleviation!

"General Lin, can you evaluate Lin Dan Khan's tactics?" Suddenly, Xu Xingxia said.

"Me? Evaluate Lin Dan Khan's tactics? Lin Shenhe felt a little surprised. He subconsciously looked at Xu Xingxia, as if he wanted to get some hints from his face. As a result, soon, Lin Shenhe reacted. Xu Xingxia was a little nervous. He hoped that by speaking, he would ease his tension. This is a normal reaction for the average person.

Xu Xingxia is also a normal person, and he will also have such a reaction. Especially in the current situation where the battle is stalemate and difficult to solve, Xu Xingxia will definitely be nervous. After all, Xu Xingxia is still a young man under the age of twenty! For his psychological quality, you can't ask too much. Combat skills can be acquired through training, and combat strategies can also be acquired through learning. Only by constantly experiencing the tests of life and death can our psychological quality become stronger and more stable.

In fact, why didn't he Lin Shenhe have such a reaction? In fact, he also wanted to relieve the tension in his heart by speaking. Although they are not at the forefront, have not experienced a rain of bullets and arrows, and have no direct danger to their lives, their hearts are all hanging in their throats. There is no way, their opponent, but in recent years, Lin Dan Khan, who has been in the limelight! Whether Lin Dan Khan can be defeated or not, no one can predict accurately.

Lin Shenhe tried hard to stabilize his thoughts, and said slowly: "Lin Danhan, this person, has a relatively high vision, is arrogant, and does not look down on people. He has always believed that he is the last male lord of the prairie, and everyone should prostrate at his feet and submit to his leadership. Including the emperor of our Great Ming Kingdom, we should all pay tribute to him. However, he has always concealed his ambitions very well, and many people underestimate him. ”

Xu Xingxia nodded lightly and said in a deep voice: "He only dispatched eight thousand people to launch the first wave of attacks, he's wrong." ”

Lin Shenhe said: "Yes, he was wrong. ”

He definitely didn't unconsciously agree with Xu Xingxia, unfounded approval. He also has his own ideas. In fact, Lin Dan Khan was indeed wrong. I don't know why he sent 8,000 people to launch the first wave of attacks. This number is a bit nondescript and nondescript. If it's a tentative attack, there are too many people. To test the attack of the surname, about a thousand people are enough. If it is an attack that decides the surname, the number of people is too small.

There is a cloud in the art of war: "Ten is to encircle, five is to attack, multiple is to fight, the enemy can be divided, less can be defended, if not, it can be avoided." "It can be seen that the basic condition for launching an offensive is that one's own forces are about four or five times more than the enemy. If not four or five times as much, at least twice as much! The problem is that the strength of Lin Dan Khan is just the same as the strength of the white-clothed army. The ratio of forces between the two sides is one to one. There is no point in attacking like this. In a one-to-one contest, the Mongols could not win.

For Lin Dan Khan, if the 8,000 people who attacked in the first wave could not take Xu Xingxia, then the number of troops he had left would be a bit troublesome. The battle was so fierce that the Mongol casualties must have been very large. Conservative estimates would not be less than four thousand casualties. In other words, the rest of his army must be less than 20,000 men. So, next, will he make a hammer deal and assault the whole army, or will he attack in batches again?

If it is a one-shot deal, it is definitely a risk for Lin Dan Khan! Judging from the current battle situation, even if all the Mongols pounced, the white-clothed army could hold on for a while. With the ferocious guns and cannons of the white-clothed army, they will definitely inflict great casualties on the Mongols. In other words, the Mongols would again suffer heavy casualties. If the Mongols were able to crush the white-clothed army in the end, it would be okay to say. If the Mongols were unable to crush the white-clothed army, then Lin Dan Khan was in danger. His army is gone, can he still be dangerous?

In fact, even if Lin Dan Khan wins in the end, it will inevitably be a pyrrhic victory. The guns of the white-clothed army will inevitably make him bleed a lot. As long as he can't catch Xu Xingxia, he can't be regarded as a complete victory. Because, the white-clothed army was created by Xu Xingxia. Even if he suffers huge losses, as long as Xu Xingxia is still there, he can continue to pull the white-clothed army up, continue to fight, and continue to develop and grow. However, will he be able to catch Xu Xingxia? It's hard to estimate. Xu Xingxia is not a stupid person, and when he sees a bad opportunity, he will definitely retreat.

In fact, as long as the white-clothed army withdrew to the Black Mountain camp, it would be considered safe. There is a fortress like Zhenyuanguan blocked there, Rao is Lin Dan Khan has great ability, and it is impossible to kill Ningxia Town. With Ningxia Town as the rear, the white-clothed army will soon be able to replenish its losses, regroup and make a comeback. In other words, as long as Xu Xingxia does not die, the white-clothed army will definitely not die. If we meet again next time, Lin Dan Khan may not be able to bear it.

Replenishing the same number of troops, the Mongols and the white-clothed army, the speed is not at all a grade. For Lin Dan Khan, it is definitely not easy to replenish the army of 20,000 people. He needs 20,000 strong men and 20,000 equipment, which are very fatal problems for the nomads who are underpopulated. A strong man of 20,000 people needs to be cobbled together by at least five or six tribes to come up, and he is not a particularly loyal one.

However, for the white-clothed army, there is basically no difficulty in recruiting 20,000 soldiers. The town of Ningxia has a sufficient population base. Even if there is no Ningxia Town, the nearby Guyuan Town, Yansui Town, and even Gansu Town will have it. After the white-clothed army conquered Ningxia Town, the number of military households fleeing to Ningxia Town from all over the country exceeded 10,000 every day. As for weapons and equipment, with the production capacity of the white-clothed army, they can also be deployed in place soon.

To put it simply, Xu Xingxia can afford to lose, and Lin Danhan can't afford to lose. Even if Xu Xingxia is defeated, it doesn't matter, there is still a chance to make a comeback. However, if Lin Dan Khan is defeated, the consequences will be serious. What awaits him is bound to be a downhill road.
