The two armies totaled more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the Datong army even had one man riding two horses. Many of the Khalkha cavalry also came with two horses, and many of them were looted.
In addition, there are more than 100,000 livestock.
Originally there were more livestock, so they threw some out when they were detouring north, luring Zhang Tieniu to go north. When they withdrew, they threw out some more, and continued to confuse the sluggish Datong army. They were consumed along the way and ate a lot. Some were lost along the way.
, they were in a hurry to withdraw their troops and were too lazy to find them.
So many soldiers, horses, and livestock were spread out across the battlefield.
Both sides were arranging their troops, and Fei Ruhe ran to Zhang Tieniu: "I have never commanded so many cavalry in battle, and I didn't bring a hot air balloon. I can't see the overall situation of the battlefield at all."
"I've never directed anyone before," Zhang Tieniu said.
Fei Ruhe said: "I used to study military books and formation diagrams, and I have learned all the cavalry tactics of the past dynasties. But commanding on the spot at this time is completely different. I am afraid that I will make a command mistake while fighting. In this battle, what do you do?
Coach, or should I be the coach?”
"You should be the head coach." Zhang Tieniu did not fight because he also lacked relevant experience.
Fei Ruhe said: "I returned to Beijing six months ago to report on my work. I read military books every night, and also read relevant history books. In the battle between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu in Mobei, the Han army dispatched more than 100,000 soldiers and more than 200,000 horses.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing advanced in two directions, and more than 90,000 Xiongnu troops were annihilated. At that time, Wei Qing took his chariots and formed a chariot formation to stabilize the formation. The cavalry surrounded and won from both wings. The champion Hou did not have details of the battle, only
He knew how to run long distances, killed more than 70,000 enemy troops, and achieved most of the results alone..."
Zhang Tieniu thought this was all nonsense and interrupted: "Let's talk about how to fight first."
Fei Ruhe said: "All the valiant cavalry are arranged to serve as the central army, and the dragoons are sent out to outflank and harass. Chahar, Horqin, Bahrain and other Mongolian cavalry are also responsible for the peripheral harassment. Try to open up the distance between the various Khalkha units to provide space for the valiant cavalry.
The soldiers create opportunities to directly attack the enemy's commander. The leaders of the Khalkha tribes are not necessarily united. There are also armies of other tribes, some of which are forced to go out, and they are not of the same mind as the Khalkha. Dragoons and tribal cavalry, Sa
Go to the periphery and engage in a melee. The more chaotic the better. If it really becomes chaotic, the enemy troops will not risk their lives to protect each other, but will definitely find ways to preserve their strength. When the entire battlefield is chaotic, our cavalry will be able to launch a decisive charge."
After talking a lot, Zhang Tieniu concluded: "What you mean is that if you don't have the ability to control the battlefield, then you shouldn't control it at all. Send all the dragoons and Mongolian cavalry out to fight indiscriminately. If you want to mess with everyone, let's
It’s chaos, the enemy is also in chaos, and the commanders of both sides are unable to command. And then our cavalry takes advantage of the chaos to charge?”
"Yes!" Fei Ruhe said.
Zhang Tieniu turned around and asked the general: "What do you think?"
Wang Tingchen smiled and said: "That's good."
Li Dingguo said: "Dudu Fei's clever plan, there is no better way to fight than this."
Whatever the formation diagram or tactics are, put them all aside.
Fei Ruhe is not capable of commanding large-scale cavalry operations, so don't think about how to do so. Disorganize the enemy's troops, bring the enemy general's command ability to the same level as his own, and then use his rich experience in chaotic battles to defeat them.
beat!
This style of play actually tests the basic literacy of the military.
When everyone is in chaos, whoever has better basic military literacy will have a better chance of winning. What's more, the Datong Army is a whole, and it will try its best to provide support when chaos occurs. Khalkha is a piece of scattered sand, and everyone will go their own way when chaos occurs.
In war, friendly forces may even be betrayed.
On the Chahun Dorji side, troops were also arranging their formations.
The main force of his own headquarters is naturally placed in the central army. Darhan Noyan, Mergen Noyan, Dalai Noyan, Kundulun Noyan... and other leaders each lead their troops to the two wings. The remaining small tribes spread
Fight on the outside.
I don't know when the fighting started, and both sides started to move.
Including the dragoons of four cavalry divisions, together with the dragoons of the infantry division, a total of more than 20,000 troops, together with the cavalry of Chahar, Horqin, Bahrain and other units, carried out large-scale outflanks one after another. The one who ran the furthest
, and even outflanked the center of the battlefield three or four miles away. The enemy general Chahun Dorji could not see the situation clearly.
Cao Bianjiao, who was originally sent to receive Li Zicheng's troops, followed Fei Ruhe on the expedition because of an impromptu war.
More than 5,000 dragoons led by Cao Bianjiao took the lead in rushing to the enemy's left flank. The more than 5,000 dragoons were divided into three teams. The first team, with more than 1,000 people, rushed straight to the front of the "Kundulunnuoyan" Tumenken formation.
Tu Mengken led his troops to fight. The two armies were about a hundred meters apart. The more than a thousand dragoons began to slow down.
At about seventy or eighty meters, Cao Bianjiao blew a short command.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
After a shot was fired, the more than a thousand dragoons turned around and left.
The second group of dragoons came forward from the side and fired a second round of guns at Tu Mengken's troops. Tu Mengken was beaten a little confused. The distance between the two sides was too far and it was not enough for the range of the horse bow. He didn't know how to chase him out.
, it is better to retreat quickly. Of course, due to the long distance, the accuracy of the dragoons was not enough, and it did not cause much damage.
"Father, let me help you!"
Lama Tenzin is the second son of Tu Mengken. He has become independent and his honorary title is "Nomenhan Noyan".
Nomenhan, also translated as Nomenkan.
During the Second World War, the "Battle of Nomenkan" fought by the Soviet Union and Japan was in the territory of the Tenzin Lama.
Because Lama Tenzin fought bravely, often gave advice to Chakhup Dorji, and used religion to build momentum for Chakhup Dorji, he was reused and received titles and turf. All the tribes under his command belonged to the newly attached army.
It has been less than a year since it was placed under his governance.
This guy rushed out with his troops and cooperated with his father to engage the enemy. Next to him, more than 2,000 dragoons rushed out and fired their guns.
During the pursuit, the dragoons always moved away with one strike, and nearby friendly forces came over to continue firing.
Seeing that they were being pulled further and further away, and that it was difficult to catch up with the dragoons, Tu Mengken and Tenzin Lama, father and son, quickly chose to rein in their horses and ran back to their own positions. As soon as they retreated, the fleeing dragoons stopped to reload.
Ammunition, another group of dragoons continued to attack.
"Darkhan Noyan" Bental, although he may have the intention to run away at any time, the war must still be fought.
What if we win?
As long as they win this battle, they can not only save more than 100,000 livestock and the grain carried by the livestock. They can even return to the Horqin grassland and snatch back the lost livestock and grain. At Horqin's left center banner, due to the rush to unite
Soldiers, there are nearly 100,000 livestock thrown there.
Under Chahu Dorji's order, Bental moved to the side, intending to attack Cao Bianjiao's flank.
Before Bentar completed the side approach, Manzhu Xili from Horqin led the Horqin cavalry to engage in the battle. Although Manzhu Xili was Da Yuer's brother and had a blood feud with the Datong army, he was wholeheartedly helping to fight the war.
, because his hatred with Khalkha is even deeper!
"Boohoo!"
Arrows are raining down, this is a traditional cavalry battle.
Another man from the Bahrain tribe, Manzhu Xili, followed the Chahar cavalry and began to fight against the "Wei Zheng Nuoyan" of Khalkha. This battlefield was the most useless. After two rounds of shooting, the Bahrain tribe and
The Chahar coalition army collapsed.
"Wei Zheng Nuoyan" took advantage of the victory and pursued it. Another Chahar cavalry was nearby, but they were not willing to come to rescue them at all. Instead, they distanced themselves and went to other places.
The various Mongolian tribes that relied on the Datong Army were also not united.
The two cavalrymen in front of me, although they both belong to Chahar, have a feud with each other and wish that the other would be eaten by Khalkha.
On the right side of the battlefield, the dragoon general Lin Zhidong from Liaoning was also facing off against "Mergen Noyan" Ang Gahai. At first, Ang Gahai was still advancing and retreating in a controlled manner. After fighting, he dispersed into many parts.
Small battlefield.
Behind Chahu Dorji, thousands of dragoons led the remnants of Lama Shixi's Horqin, and a large-scale encirclement was formed. "Zhasak Tuhan" Wangshu Ke's younger brother Cheng Gun was ordered to lead the army to deal with the enemies in the rear.
.
The lineage of Zasak Tuhan was not wiped out by Chahun Dorji. In name, it was a subordinate position, but in fact it was more like cooperation. The two sides also had huge conflicts.
The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and the left, right and rear sides of the battlefield were completely reduced to a mess.
Even if Han Xin and Wu Hou were resurrected and accepted the position of commander-in-chief of both sides, they would not be able to control the battlefields and could only mobilize troops from the Chinese army to support them.
Those small tribes suffered the worst, and could only follow the big tribes to fight. After the chaos broke out, no one cared about anyone else, and they bumped into more powerful enemies for no apparent reason. Soldiers from small tribes kept breaking up and escaping on horseback. A few lucky ones
Fleeed several miles to watch the battle.
No matter how good the military quality of the dragoons is, they will still make mistakes in chaotic battles.
On the right wing, there were more than a thousand dragoons who failed to escape in time after firing their guns. Being flanked by more than 4,000 enemy troops, they could only draw their sabers and charge towards one of the enemies.
In this hedging alone, more than 600 dragoons fell.
As time goes by, this situation becomes more and more common. After all, the dragoons do not have a numerical advantage, and they still need time to reload their ammunition. If they are not careful, they will be surrounded in a chaotic battle.
On the contrary, on the frontal battlefield, the Chinese army formations on both sides maintained restraint and did not move.
Seeing the increasing casualties of the dragoons, Zhang Tieniu put down his telescope and began to send out fifteen thousand melee cavalry troops.
Chahu Dorji felt that his opportunity had come, and said to "Zhasak Tuhan" Wangshuk: "You lead your brothers to attack and lure these enemy cavalry to both sides. I will lead the main force to charge directly at the opponent's coach!
"
The main forces of both sides finally took action.
The rumble of horse hooves sounded, and the entire grassland seemed to be shaking.
"Hissing!"
Perhaps due to some kind of spiritual summons, Fei Ruhe's BMW suddenly raised its premise and wanted to carry its owner and rush out.
"The Yi cavalry comes forward, the brave cavalry is ready!"
Fei Ruhe gave an order, and nearly ten thousand cavalry formed a compact formation and very slowly divided into three teams and advanced.
"Yi Cavalry" is the name given by Zhao Han, who specializes in training wall charges.
