When Liaodong Dusi's cavalry battalion entered the battlefield, the outcome of the battle was actually decided.
As Jiang Wan's second treasure, Liaodong Dusi's only cavalry with sufficient mobility has only been assembled to a scale of more than 3,000 people. If these 3,000 people were put into the battlefield from the beginning, they would face almost
The Tartar elite cavalry, which was ten times his size, would have been completely destroyed by now.
However, when the Tartars dropped enough corpses in front of the Ming army and failed to break through the Ming army's line, when their offensive slowly slowed down to completely cut off, with only a part of the troops cut off, the entire
When the army began to slowly retreat.
Jiang Wan knew that it was time for his cavalry battalion to arrive.
The Tartars were retreating in an orderly manner, which meant that Huang Taiji had clearly judged the situation on the battlefield and made the right decision.
He did not intend to bury all his elite troops on this battlefield. Even if the strong men broke their arms, he would withdraw his main force back to Gushan Fort. The opponent's Ming army was basically all infantry. Their powerful
Cannons obviously cannot catch up with four-legged horses, which means that even if he is frustrated in a decisive battle with the Ming army, he will not lose completely.
When Jiang Wan ordered the cavalry battalion to enter the battlefield, he first told the opponent that the Ming army was not incapable of pursuit. If you want to leave, you can, but you have to leave enough men and horses to contain your own cavalry. As long as you are entangled by your own cavalry,
, the infantry behind surrounded them, and the remaining Tartars would basically have no second outcome except that the entire army was destroyed.
The cavalry battalion left behind a Tatar army that was almost the same size as them. By the time these people were completely annihilated, Huang Taiji had already led his troops to withdraw from the battlefield.
Except for a part of the scout cavalry who pursued them to determine the enemy's whereabouts, Jiang Wan decisively ordered all the soldiers to stop the pursuit.
The sound of artillery and gunfire on the battlefield stopped, and there were cheering crowds everywhere. The soldiers who survived the war vented their joy with hysterical cheers, waving their weapons and flags, and jumping
, running.
"Is this a win?"
Feng Changxin accurately received the signal to withdraw troops from the camp, and then saw the entire battlefield boiling like boiling water. The joy of victory was like the spreading plague, infecting everyone almost instantly.
The brothers in his team also waved their spears one by one and cheered, but he was the only one who frowned and looked weird.
"Aren't you happy? We won!"
The team deputy hugged him hard, then grinned and said: "We won..."
"I know we won, but we haven't gone up yet..." Feng Changxin looked around with a dumbfounded look at the cheering crowds. However, he was surrounded by recruits from the reserve battalion. Until the end of the battle, they did not
Received the order to go up.
"That's because we are awesome!" The team deputy laughed. He hugged one person and another in the team, and then ran back: "It's okay if we win. Why do we care so much? We are not afraid of fighting.
Wouldn't it be better if the Tatars fight tooth and nail but win without fighting the Tatars?"
"That's right!" Feng Changxin laughed, raised his hands, and cheered: "The Ming army is mighty, the commander is mighty!"
Under the commander's banner in the distance, Jiang Wan was methodically issuing the final orders for this battle.
"The police station headquarters of each battalion will extend the battlefield forward and set up alerts to guard against enemy counterattacks. The cavalry battalion headquarters will pay close attention to the movements of the Tartars to ensure that there will be no surprises when our army cleans the battlefield!"
"The artillery teams of each battalion, the artillery teams directly under the military and administrative offices, and the craftsmen accompanying the battalions will not participate in battlefield cleaning, overhaul and maintenance of artillery, and replenishing ammunition to ensure that all undamaged cannons are restored to condition as soon as possible and can be used at any time!"
"The Fire Gun Soldiers should also replace damaged weapons and replenish ammunition as soon as possible. They are the main force in this battle. Do not participate in cleaning the battlefield. After completing the repairs, restore your physical strength as soon as possible!"
His orders were issued one by one. In fact, in addition to the big arrangements for the battle situation, each battalion already had enough experience in the scene after victory. Even Jiang Wan's specific order at this moment was not enough.
Even without publishing, they can still complete the rest in an orderly manner.
"Also..." Jiang Wan seemed to have remembered something: "We are not rich in food, so we don't want to take prisoners in this battle! When counting the results of the battle, each battalion will still count their merits based on their heads!"
After saying all this, Jiang Wan slowly sat down and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The chair behind him has always been there, but during the battle, he has been standing upright under the commander's flag. On the huge battlefield, there may be only a few people who can see and hear it, but this commander's flag should be
Everyone can see it. He just wants to hope that when his soldiers are fighting bloody battles, they know that their commander is always watching them under this flag.
At this moment, he could finally sit down.
"What a pity!" He sighed slightly, with a smile on his lips.
Even if he defeated the enemy, he had to admit at this moment that Huang Taiji was really a good opponent.
In this situation, he lacked neither bravery nor decisiveness. Even though nearly one-third of his army was lost, he was still able to command the remaining troops to withdraw in an orderly manner. It seemed that he also
There is no lack of leadership.
It's a pity that the beheading was not successful. It would be great if we could cover him and the princes, nobles and generals around him with a quick shot!
Jiang Wan laughed. How could such a good thing happen? If that were the case, then God would be on his side, and he would simply be God's illegitimate son.
People can't always think about such good things.
Yuan Chonghuan has encountered such a good thing, but how did it end? Although Jiang Wan is destined to never become the second Yuan Chonghuan, things in this world are interdependent, and who knows that there will be other unlucky things in his life.
Hold him.
There is no rush!
After defeating the Tartars for the first time, there will be a second, third, and countless times. I and the Liaodong Dusi soldiers and horses I built will become the most elite army in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even the most elite in this era.
No matter how happy the Tartars are in the army, they are destined to be just a small boss in the Novice Village. If he can't defeat this little boss, then how will Jiang Wan get out of this Novice Village and see the wider world outside?
world!
The Ming Dynasty has me, and martial virtue must be abundant!
