With the order to "shoot", the crackling guns rang out, and the shots on the twenty paces were almost missed, and the charging Jurchen cavalry overturned a large area, but the stubborn Jurchens did not flinch at all, and the knights in the back row rushed up with a roar. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The cavalry battalion doesn't care about these, the two hundred households in the first line column retreated unhurriedly according to the established tactics, this basic tactical action, the line cavalry has been carried out tens of thousands of times, the originally dense line cavalry formation like an iron wall, like scattered sand, rushed towards the reserved passage between the two sides of the array and each small array.

From an orderly cavalry formation to a scattered straggler sand scrambling to flee for their lives, it took only a command time, and the results of the long-term rigorous training and the cruel test between life and death were perfectly displayed at this moment!

The front of the cavalry formation of the volunteer battalion is two miles wide, but the thickness is less than 100 steps, and it only takes ten seconds to gallop from the front of the formation to the back of the formation, and when the Jurchen cavalry is about to engage in battle, they find that they have to charge twenty paces more.

It's like a punch with a lot of strength that hits out and falls into the cotton, and the feeling of being empty is very uncomfortable, and it makes people lose their cool and irritable in battle. Therefore, the distance of twenty paces should not be underestimated.

At this time, the second horizontal row of 1,000 men had also rushed up, and the neat and dense gunfire rang out again, just like the first row of cavalry, they immediately dispersed, ran to a place a hundred paces away from the rear of the formation, and formed a dense line formation again according to the original formation.

The servant army, which had already been prepared, handed over the loaded muskets as soon as possible. The Jurchen cavalry that swooped in the air again was met by the third row of bullets, and after a baptism of 3,000 bullets, the Jurchen cavalry suffered hundreds of casualties, but they did not even meet the face of the cavalry battalion.

Since then, it has fallen into this rain of backward rotational fire, and after three rounds, thousands of casualties have been inflicted. Knowing that he could not break through the dense rain of bullets head-on, the Houjin cavalry immediately changed his style of play, and instead scattered his formation and rushed towards the flank of the cavalry battalion.

The hussar battalion and the flying cavalry battalion, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed up to stop the Houjin cavalry under the leadership of Zhuo Qizhen and Ma Lie. Wherever the line of cavalry charged, the light cavalry got out of the way.

With the baptism of bullet rain, the Jurchen cavalry had to hit its flank again, and then fell into the entanglement of the light cavalry, so in the cycle of battle, the Jurchen cavalry lost 4,000 elites, plus those killed by artillery, this time, the Jurchen 10,000 elite cavalry has been lost in half, and it won't be long before the fight continues, this cavalry will be completely reimbursed!

But Hauge will not use his elite white flag to send him to death, and at the critical moment, the five thousand Jurchen cavalry in front of the formation got rid of the entanglement of the Chahar cavalry, broke through the blockade of Batu Baihu, and cut to the artillery position in the center of the coalition army in an arc!

This is Hauge's real goal, only by getting rid of the artillery can this army be completely defeated!

But the coalition forces were not chaotic at all, and the Jurchen cavalry, who rushed to the place of an arrow, was about to shoot arrows, and the small cannons in front of the artillery position opened fire, these shells were not threatening, and the accuracy was far worse, but the Jurchen cavalry retreated from their horses and dodged, missing the opportunity to shoot arrows.

It was easy to rush to within fifty paces, but what was waiting for them was a hollow phalanx of musketeers waiting for them!

These musketeers were not regular soldiers of the Volunteers, but they were rigorously trained to be shot in line. The reason why I became a servant army was because I couldn't stand the harsh military discipline of the Volunteer Battalion, but at the critical moment, they were able to fight like guns!

The attempt of the Jurchen elite cavalry to destroy the artillery position was completely failed under the three-stage rotation of the servant army! Immediately, the angry Batu Baihu flew in, and the two sides were once again entangled in light cavalry.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Hauge decisively ordered a retreat, and in this ambush battle, the Chahar cavalry killed 10,000 again, leaving only 15,000 people, while the 11,000 Han cavalry had no losses, and the 10,000 people in the Khan's court were basically intact. At this point, the structure of Chang Wei's soldiers is close to idealization, and there will be no situation where it is difficult to reduce troops!

Hauge finally took 10,000 Jurchen elite horses and fled east in panic. Chang Wei was not ready to let him go, at least he would not let go of the three departments of Karaqin, Khalkha, and Horqin as accomplices.

As the main general, Wu Ding first offered advice: "The Horqin grassland is in the valley of the Lightning River, Qinglong River, and Luanhe River, and the terrain is dangerous and difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and Yizhou, not far from the east, is the hinterland of Manchuria, and the Jurchens will send troops to support at any time. ”

To sum up, the last general believes that there are three feasible strategies: one is to storm the lightning valley to divide the enemy, the second is to find another mountain path to climb over the mountains and surprise him, and the third is to secretly find an internal strategy to counter the enemy and break the enemy from the inside out. ”

Zhuo Qizhen frowned when he heard this, and said: "If you want to enter the Horqin grassland, you can only pass through the left and right mountain passes in the northwest corner of it, where there is the lightning river in the middle, and the left and right dangerous areas of the mountain pass and the lightning river valley have always been blocked by enemy troops, and it may not be easy to attack." ”

He Wenlie nodded and said: "Yes, after two months of fighting, the soldiers are tired, there is not much ammunition left, and there are many casualties if you want to attack our army, so let's find a way in the last two." ”

Hu Wenqing said: "The mountains on the left and right are steep, and the shortcuts between the mountains have not yet been explored. General Long Cheng is proficient in geography and knows the secret roads of mountain roads?"

"I have sent more than 100 soldiers who are familiar with the terrain to investigate, and I have already had a slight eyebrow, and news will come in a few days. “

The corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth turned up, and a grim smile appeared on his handsome face, "Haoge is newly defeated, and the Horqin departments have suffered heavy losses, and it is the time when people's hearts are unstable. The last general is not talented, he has a small reputation on the grassland, and it is not a big problem to find someone to deal with, and he may have some confidence in doing secret espionage. ”

Hearing Ma Lie say this, everyone's faces showed a relaxed look.

"Haha! Brother Longcheng has this strange plan, I am relieved, and the attack on Horqin is just around the corner. ”

Chang Wei saw that he had a preliminary plan, so he made up his mind and asked symbolically: "Do you have any other plans?"

"My lord, I have a plan, maybe I can give it a try!" Hu Wenqing said.

Chang Wei's eyes lit up: "Eh, what is Old Hu's plan?" "Hu Wenqing usually doesn't speak, but every time he exits, he must be a blockbuster!

Hu Wenqing pointed to the map and said silently: "My lord, please see, the place where the rebels are deployed north of the Lightning River is surrounded by two mountains, and the terrain is low. At present, the water level in the upper reaches of the lightning river is soaring, and the enemy army is closed to the valley, and our army can completely control the plain outside the valley, so if our army builds earth as a dam in the upper reaches and stores river water, and when the enemy army relaxes, release the water to flood it, our soldiers can cut down trees and make rafts down the river to break through the enemy's valley and defend the enemy in one fell swoop, and the troops will come to Horqin!"

"Clever plan! If this plan is successful, breaking the enemy is like looking at the pattern in the palm of your hand!" Wu Ding was shocked.

The generals looked happy and nodded yes.

Wu Ding is a general, but also a good general, he is good at the dignified array, the righteous division, the transfer of troops and other generals, intrigue is not what he is good at.

Chang Ping, on the other hand, is good at handling all kinds of relationships and planning political affairs, and is a staff member and Chang Wei's right-hand man; Hu Wenqing is good at extremely ruthless conspiracies and tricks, and is a real strategist.

Ma Lie was a ruthless and tough general with the appearance of a hero; Hu Wenlie was also a general who was in charge of his own affairs; Cheng Laohu was a fierce general; and Hu Yang, Wang Zhuang, and others were qualified middle-level officers.

These people have different characteristics and different personalities, but they are all one character, and what Chang Wei has to do is to give full play to their abilities.

Therefore, the general command of the battle formation, give advice and advice to them, Chang Wei just has to be a hands-off shopkeeper, give the general direction, big strategy, when the real battle starts, there are generals to command, he only needs to be a fierce general who charges into battle, encourage morale.

Chang Wei said proudly: "The strategies of Elder Hu and Brother Longcheng are all good strategies, so let's combine the two!"

"Oh?" Wu Ding raised his eyebrows, his eyes shining, "My lord is saying: first flood the plan, when the enemy army is defeated and retreat, so that the internal should be chaotic, and the internal should be combined with the external to break the enemy!"

"Not bad!"

received Chang Wei's affirmative reply, Wu Ding, Hu Wenqing, and Ma Lie showed joy on their faces at the same time. Chang Wei did a good job of this degree, not only taking into account the overall situation of breaking the enemy, but also paying attention to everyone's opinions, so that the three people who offered suggestions felt the attention, and they were all happy.

Chang Wei immediately ordered: "Where is Ma Lie?"

"The end will be here!" Ma Lie stood in the tent with his fists clenched.

"Look for internal responses at any cost, plot against enemy generals, and find shortcuts!"

"Yes!"

"Where are He Wenlie and Cheng Laohu?"

"The end will be here!"

"You two, immediately survey the terrain and cut down trees, dig earth and build dams!"

"Wuding!"

"The end will be here!"

"Supervise the training of the soldiers and strengthen the defense of the camp to prevent the Jurchen from sneaking attack!"

"Yes!"

In the end, Chang Wei said: "I personally led the scouts and horses, closely grasped the movements of the enemy army, intercepted and killed the enemy rangers, and covered up all the movements of our army!" )
