"Who wants to ask for their life?" Angmar asked again, her eyes sweeping her face over the crowd.

No one spoke, much to Angmar's disappointment. Just as he was about to take orders, he heard someone say, "I am willing to lead the army." ”

Everyone looked over, but it was Green, the general of the Fifth Banner of the White Eight Banners. Finally someone volunteered, and Angmar was overjoyed. He continued to ask: "This assault is not enough for one flag, is there anyone else?" ”

This time, the generals were still silent, but the atmosphere was much more active than before, and it could be seen that some people's minds had moved. "Who else?" Angmar asked a third time. Someone finally stood up, "Back to the big handsome, I'm willing to fight." ”

Look at it again, it is Meng Ge, the general of the Eighth Banner of the Eight Banners of Mongolia. Of course, this Meng Ge is not Kublai Khan's elder brother Meng Ke Khan, and this person is not related to Meng Ke Khan. In Mongolia, there are no obscure characters, and the names of the big people are used in large numbers to name children. Parents want these children to be as strong as these heroic and powerful men.

"Okay, you two stay, and everyone else goes about their own errands." Angmar said.

When the crowd was leaving, Angmar called Grimm and Möngke to the inner tent, and then pointed out the main points of the battle to the two. "You don't have to think about defeating all the enemies, I want you to kill from that weak point, and then from here."

The two banner generals looked at the map and frowned inadvertently. Before, both of them thought that the Mongol army was going to launch a full-scale offensive, so they asked the two of them to lead the army as the main force to open the channel for the attack. Now I listened to Angmar's arrangement, but I asked the two of them to kill through the gap in the south, and they came out from a position in the north in a small circle.

Meng Ge asked puzzledly: "If this is the case, why don't you divide the army into two ways and attack from both sides." It will definitely make the barbarians unable to care for each other. ”

Angmar shook his head, "The enemy forces are numerous, and it is not clear what the situation in the area behind them is. Two-way attacks can't mobilize the whole army of barbarians. Rather than this, it is better for the two of you to lead the army and fight it. You don't have to stand out to the death, but if the enemy is strong, go straight north to the border between the Kipchak Khanate and the Ilkhanate. I'll send someone over there to meet you. ”

"Why?" Both generals were puzzled.

"Just obey orders!" Angmar replied very forcefully.

Both generals had doubts, but they couldn't get Marshal Angmar to give a reason, and finally the two were ordered to leave. Although there were great doubts in my heart, when I thought about it carefully, this order was not particularly outrageous. According to the original idea of the two, in addition to the burden of breaking through the enemy's line, they also had to take on the task of expanding the breakthrough and ensuring that the army could fight through the breakthrough. The battle to secure the passage will inevitably face the enemy's frantic counterattack, and there will definitely be heavy losses. The other generals refused to take on this responsibility, and it cannot be said that they were cowardly.

A battle of 10,000 people is not something that can be fought. According to the plan, the two flag armies attacked three days later. Three days is a long time for someone who has nothing to do, and it is only a snap of a finger for the army that goes into battle. Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, and the alarm clocks around the two generals rang at about the same time at dawn. In two places about ten miles apart, Green and General Möngke ordered at the same time, "Attack!" ”

The Mongol pioneers mounted their horses and left the starting point in an orderly manner. It was about seven or eight miles away from the enemy's position, and it was lucky last night that the army of the slave dynasty did not send a special scout to patrol it. The vanguard quietly attacked and soon walked halfway through.

The pre-dawn darkness had not yet passed, and the figure of the Mongol army was inconspicuous in the dim light. The advance approached about two miles from the slave dynasty camp before the alarm horn sounded, and the Mongol army did not speed up because of this. The Mongol forward was still advancing steadily, and then heard the drums and trumpets in the camp opposite, and soon the gate of the camp opened, and a camel soldier rushed out first.

The camel is sturdy and much taller than the Mongolian horse. In addition to the problem that it is not easy to control, it has a great advantage when facing cavalry. In the past, the slave dynasty used camel soldiers to meet the Mongol cavalry, and the camel soldiers used spears to poke condescendingly, and they could also use small catapults on the camel's back against the Mongol archers, showing great superiority in battle.

This time, the Mongol cavalry did not harden, and the cavalry in the front row jumped off their horses one after another, took some cylinders from their horses, opened the iron brackets and stabilized them. When the camel soldiers approached, the Mongol cavalry lit the fuses behind the cylinders. It didn't take long for the cylinder to burst out of white smoke, and the camel soldiers thirty meters away immediately became confused.

This is a large troll that can shoot a large amount of iron sand gravel at enemies. Although the camels were rough and thick-skinned, and the camel soldiers wore thick armor, they were still quite injured by the blows of the storm. Seeing that the enemy had suffered heavy losses, the Mongol cavalry swarmed up and routed the camel soldiers in a blink of an eye.

The cavalry pursued the enemy to the front of the camp, and less than thirty percent of the camel soldiers were able to escape back to the camp. More than half an hour later, General Green and General Möngke passed by the enemy camp in front of them, and saw the Mongol soldiers set up a troll and opened heavy fire on the slave army that tried to rush out.

General Green looked at the power of the firearms and sighed. General Meng Ge, who was less than ten miles away, let out a long sigh. Firearms are very effective weapons that can be targeted and can be hit over a large area. Either way, one firearm is worth ten soldiers. But the consumption of firearms was too great, and just such a suppression used up 20% of the gunpowder that the two men had shared. Although they also hoped that their military equipment could be as completely firearms as the Great Song Dynasty, both of them knew that they could not do it after a long period of distress.

Blocking the main exit of the enemy's camp, the Mongol army broke through the enemy's joint camp like a torrent along the open space between the camps at the breach. After breaking through more than three miles forward, I saw a group of men and horses rushing in the direction of the Mongol army's advance and launching a team to intercept it.

The Mongol cavalry did not pause in the slightest, and a group of men and horses rushed forward first, raised their trolls in their hands, and opened fire. It was loaded with a single bullet, and the cavalry of the Slave Dynasty was knocked over the front row as soon as they took a shot. The rear row was startled by the roar of the firecrackers, and then the Mongols attacked with swords. The two sides fought for a while, and the interception forces of the Slave Dynasty were scattered in an instant.

Not long after breaking through the first layer, the enemy forces intercepted by the second layer reappeared. The Mongol cavalry again did the same, and soon broke through to the second heavy. General Green was not pleased, this was just the beginning, and the enemy camp was not so shallow. Sure enough, the third interception was already far away, because the previous interception had bought time, and the army that intercepted this interception was all infantry, with spears in their hands neatly arrayed, and it was extremely dangerous to look at.

"Signal!" General Green commanded. As soon as the words fell, a signal was raised in the direction of General Meng Ge. General Green shouted, "Turn left!" "Command this unit to bypass the enemy interception from the left and approach General Mönggo.

If you can look down from the sky at this time, you can see that General Möngke in the north is leading his army to bypass the right side of the enemy's defenses and continue forward, and General Green, who is in the south position, is leading his troops to bypass the enemy's left side, and the two forces are getting closer and closer in the same direction.

After that, he made this turn twice in a row, and both General Green and General Mönggo saw each other's flags. The two armies then continued in the same direction. But he saw that the gate of the enemy camp in front of him was open, and a large number of infantry were rushing out of it. The two didn't need to communicate, and the banner army urged their mounts to push forward and fight into the ranks of the enemy. The cavalrymen swung their sabers like wheels. The warriors in the front row slashed left and right, killing the enemy in an instant. This time, instead of bypassing the camp, they went in.

The enemy did not expect the Mongol cavalry to descend like a god and suddenly kill in. The whole camp was immediately in chaos, and after a little resistance, the camp, which was dominated by infantry, was completely thrown into chaos.

The Mongol cavalry rushed to the other end, only to see that some of the slave dynasty troops were still stubbornly trying to hold the gate. Immediately, the Mongol cavalry lit a thunder canister and threw it into the enemy's ranks. In the violent explosion, the elite troops of the slave dynasty lost their combat effectiveness in an instant.

On this side, the Mongolian cavalry rushed up and directly installed the explosive pack, and in the blink of an eye, the fences on both sides of the gate were blown open. Two converging Mongol armies rushed out of the open gate and through the blasted wall. The army of the slave dynasty could no longer grasp the specific movements of the Mongol army, so they could only order to hold their positions strictly, and inform the troops in each camp to fight the Mongol army when they saw it.

In the absence of a unified command, the efforts of the slave dynasty armies who fought alone were of little avail. By the time dawn, the two banner armies had already slaughtered out of the camp of the slave dynasty and broken through the enemy's line.

When the two armies reached temporary safety, the general ordered an inventory of soldiers and horses, especially firearms. General Green and General Möngke arrived together to discuss what to do next. The two of them were quite happy, and after saying a few words, they already frowned when they looked at the road in front of them.

The road was flat, and there were no threatening fortifications on either side of the road. But as far as the eye could see, the grass was bare, and all the grass was very short, so short that even the horses could gnaw it. This is not artificially cut, all the grass in the vast area is this virtue, indicating that the cavalry of the slave dynasty has already grazed here. The Mongol cavalry could not rely on such land to rest their horses.

"Let's go! Northward! General Möngke shouted. He himself was not idle, and walked side by side with General Green.

"Boyan is really handsome. Angmar didn't cheat us! General Green sighed. In the 'Ten Strategies' proposed by Boyan, it was said that the Mongol army should quickly send troops to graze cattle when confronting the enemy, and eat up the grass in that area as soon as possible. This strategy first heard in the ears of the young banner army generals, but they only felt that what the marshal said was too straightforward. At this time, seeing the situation after the joint operation of the slave dynasty with his own eyes, there is really nothing else to say except to sigh at the insight of the older generation.

Fortunately, Marshal Angmar did not let these two banner armies harass behind the enemy's back, but let them go directly north. Looking at it now, even if Marshal Angmar ordered the two to harass, the situation here would not allow them to have a place to rest.

The two sides joined forces and advanced to the north. The land along the way is grazed, and the green fields are empty, which is very comfortable for infantry to walk. Any slight undulations on the ground can be seen clearly. It was equally convenient for the cavalry to march, but when they were resting, they had to take out concentrate and soybean meal from the bales they carried to feed the horses.

After a few trims, the cavalry moved faster, after all, the weight of the horses was lowered to facilitate the march. Looking at the flat earth, Grimm and General Möngke were speechless. How the hell did the slave dynasty graze, there is no room for grazing at all. All the ground is eaten cleanly. Is this because you don't want the horses to pass through here?

The two men's troops relied entirely on the fodder they carried, and although they could eat up the grass during grazing, they could not drink the water from the river. The two of them walked to the predetermined river, which was considered to have solved the problem of water diversion.

Just when their hearts were anxious, the horses came to return. There is a pasture thirty miles ahead. General Meng Ke immediately ordered, "Send three hundred men to investigate over there first." Don't be a trap! ”
