Yelv Chixian's army came very quickly. Although it was a mixture of foot and cavalry, their speed was not slow. Although Yelv Chixian was not a famous general, he ran the army with strict military discipline. After receiving the flying plan planned by Tumen of Jinzhou,
After the pigeon passed the letter, Yelu Chixian had already ordered his troops and horses within a quarter of an hour, and then rushed towards Jinzhou in a hurry. The commander of Jinzhou Mandan garrison was the third prince Yelu Mingxiong, who was born in the royal family.
Xian understands his junior quite well, and his military attainments are just a little better than that military idiot Yelu Minghuang. He is a typical person with little talent and ambition, but he is the vicissitudes of the prince Yelu after all.
, if something really happened to him on his own territory, I'm afraid he would have to bear the blame.
Even so, Yelv Chixian did not relax his vigilance when he was on his way. Since the Hetao army dared to sneak attack the Jinzhou camp with 50,000 elite troops stationed, it is difficult to say that they would not set up an ambush to attack him halfway. Yelv Chixian was already
This was the third battle with the Hetao army. From the Battle of Fengling Ferry to the later Battle of Hukou and now, the Mandan army did not take advantage of them three times. On the other hand, the number of soldiers fighting on the Hetao side increased, and the army
The more they fight, the more powerful they become, and the more their generals fight, the more powerful they are. However, as an old soldier, Yelu Chixian understands the principle of using surprise to defeat the enemy. He believes that if it is a frontal battle, with the same number, the Mandan army will not lose.
Hetao. However, several of the cavalry generals in Hetao did have some skills, and there were few opportunities for direct combat with them in Hetao. Therefore, the outside world had the misinformation that the combat effectiveness of the Hetao army was superior to that of the Northeastern army.
During the march, Yelv Chixian led 10,000 cavalry at the front, while the remaining 30,000 cavalry were distributed on both sides of the infantry. Yelv Chixian was not worried about the battle ahead, but he was very pleased that when
When his army just passed Tongzhou and entered the border of Jinzhou, he unexpectedly ran into Yelu Mingxiong who was fleeing towards Tongzhou. Yelu Chixian was surprised and happy at the time, but he was happy that Yelu Mingxiong had already escaped.
Come out, then why don’t you have to worry so much? What’s surprising is that Yelu Minghuang escaped alone. Could it be that Jinzhou’s 50,000-strong army had been wiped out? In order to protect his son, King Langxie mobilized the most elite troops in the country
50,000 soldiers are stationed in Jinzhou. If 50,000 of Mandan's most elite soldiers can be defeated in less than two hours, then the number of troops dispatched in Hetao will be at least 100,000. And the number of troops left behind in Hetao is now
The total strength is only over 200,000. How did they get so many troops?
Fortunately, Yelu Chixian quickly learned what happened from Yelu Mingxiong, and Yelu Chixian finally felt relieved. Although he didn’t know how the Hetao cavalry crossed Beiyuan Road and suddenly defeated the 50,000 Jinzhou soldiers.
All of them were sealed in the military camp. However, since Hetao adopted a strategy and trick, their troops would not be too many. According to intelligence, the number of troops stationed in Hetao on Hetao Road did not exceed 70,000, while at Yumenguan on Hexi Road
The garrison in Hetao was no more than 30,000. No matter how bold the Hetao side was, they would not dare to exhaust all the troops on the front line of the river, so the troops setting off from the Hetao would not exceed 50,000. The total number of Hetao cavalry coming from the East China Sea Road was only 20,000.
It is obvious that the Mandan Camp in Zhouzhou has not fallen, so there is no chance of rushing there now. As long as the Hukou Ferry can be blocked, the tens of thousands of troops in the Hetao can only become a turtle in the urn.
However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. After the Mandan army entered Jinzhou, the Hetao cavalry entangled the Mandan army like brown sugar. The leading cavalry general was actually one of the five generals in the Hetao.
Feng Jing Xian. However, although the two of them were indeed proficient in commanding the cavalry, and their methods were also bizarre, the combat effectiveness of this Hetao cavalry made Yelu Chixian despise them. Although they also worked hard to make themselves look like
They were more like elite cavalry who had experienced hundreds of battles, but they were somewhat lacking in both individual combat capabilities and tactical coordination. This made Yeluchi wonder, could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Hetao army was at this level.
The strategy adopted by Fengjing and Xinke was very similar to the strategy used by Wu Xiaolangjun to snipe at Sashan Kedola's cavalry in the desert that day. Xinke led 10,000 cavalrymen to snipe at the front, blocking Yelu Chixian's advance.
On the road, Fengjing was at the rear biting the tail of the Mandan army, while Henghui Langaoping and others led the cavalry to continuously charge and raid on both sides, making it impossible for Yelu Chixian to march smoothly. Fengjing and Xinke
Their attainments in cavalry are different from those of beginners like Wu Xiaolangjun who still need to hone themselves on the battlefield. Their overall grasp of the battlefield and appropriate timing are not comparable to Wu Xiaolangjun's.
Although Xingke only had 10,000 cavalry in his hands, he was not afraid of the 70,000 elite Mandan troops. Under his command, the 10,000 cavalry attacked in several waves, one wave after another.
The waves hit the vanguard of the Mandan army. About two thousand cavalry participated in the attack in each round. They first used the high speed of the cavalry to quickly approach the Mandan army, suppressed the opponent's attack with arrow rain, and then waited until they got close.
It was a round of killing. When the cavalry adjusted their horse speed to the extreme, relying on their own inertia, the sabers in their hands suddenly burst out with a force of no less than a thousand kilograms. This kind of force is not something that light armored infantry can compete with. It can be said that
To exaggerate, when they rush into the enemy's position, they only need to place their sabers across their horses, and they can easily cut off any part of the Mandan soldiers they pass through like mowing grass.
Of course, this is after adjusting the running condition of the war horse to the best. In many cases, even the best cavalry on the Bloody Plateau cannot really do this when facing the opponent's sniper. Especially
When facing the opponent's heavily defended infantry and spear formations, many light cavalry were pierced by the opponent's spears just as they approached the opponent's position. However, the Mandan army was not fighting defensively this time, so it was naturally impossible to establish a
A complete defensive formation, and Xing Ke also showed his ability to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. When the inertia of the first wave of cavalry was about to disappear, the second wave of cavalry had already followed their footsteps and entered the Mandan formation.
, and the first cavalry moved towards both sides and ran back to prepare for the next round of attack.
Fengjing, on the other hand, led five thousand cavalry to bite the tail of the Mandan army. Fengjing was originally the leading cavalry genius in Hetao, and now he had a strategic advantage, so although he only had five thousand cavalry in hand,
, but it was enough to give Yelu Chixian a headache. Feng Jing was good at attacking. Sometimes you clearly saw the Hetao cavalry preparing to retreat, but Feng Jing led a small group of cavalry to take advantage of the gap in the Mandan army's defense line, and suddenly
They fought their way into the infantry. By the time the Mandan army came to their senses, Fengjing had already led the Hetao cavalry covered in blood to escape. And under Fengjing's command, Henghui and others also led Professor Fengjing.
They used their rogue tricks to full effect. They either divided their forces and used wolf tactics to smash the Mandan army's defense line into holes, or they suddenly joined forces and used a small group of cavalry to attract the attention of the Mandan cavalry.
, and the large group of cavalry suddenly attacked the marching infantry without cavalry protection, and then quickly rushed out of the gap before the Mandan cavalry surrounded them. The Mandan cavalry was responsible for protecting the infantry, and also
Don't dare to pursue too far. If a small group of cavalry goes to pursue them, it will be just a snack for others. But if a large force pursues, then who knows whether the Hetao cavalry is trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
However, Yelu Chixian is a Mandan general after all. Although he is not flexible enough, he has quite a lot of battle experience. Facing the harassment of the Hetao cavalry, Yelu Chixian naturally understood what the opponent's strategic intentions were. However, since Yelu Mingxiong was fine, then Jin
The state camp was not so urgent. So Yelv Chixian slowed down his marching speed and moved the spearmen in the infantry to the front line, while the archers and crossbowmen were distributed as much as possible on both sides of the army. As for the end
On the other hand, he cut off the rear by himself. In this way, although the Hetao cavalry still occupied the active position on the battlefield, it was not so easy to be as skillful as at the beginning.
Although the cavalry generals in Hetao are excellent, their weakness is that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under their command is not strong, and there is also a lack of tacit understanding between them. The biggest weakness is that this is a cavalry that has not experienced too much war.
In the test of life and death, there is a lack of trust between soldiers who live and die together. Therefore, when charging, they cannot be as brave as a veteran who has not feared to take the lead, and when retreating, they cannot be orderly and orderly. The war
When things go well, they can still have high morale, but if they are stuck in a stalemate or difficult situation, they will inevitably be a little timid. So when Yelu Chixian decided to eat here and cripple the army no matter what, and began to slow down the marching speed,
The casualties of the Hetao soldiers began to rise sharply, beginning to equal those of the Mandan soldiers.
It’s just that the Hetao army has two well-known strengths, that is, their fighting will is particularly firm, and the army’s resilience is also very strong. Just like the Battle of Jizhou and the Battle of Hukou that made Hetao famous all over the world, both are fully
It shows the tenacity of the Hetao army. Even if they faced the first commander outside the Great Wall, Cassimbas and the more than 500,000 troops of the three Northeastern countries, even though they fought for a whole day and night, their spines never bent. Unless
They died in battle, otherwise they would never have fallen. Compared with the Battle of Hukou back then, the current scene is a bit too childish. Although most of these soldiers have not participated in the Battle of Hukou back then, they have accumulated
The pride in their bones has not been diminished by the disadvantages on the battlefield, and the leader of the army is still Feng Jing and Xin Ke among the five generals in Hetao.
Under such circumstances, Fengjing and Xinke joined forces. Since Yelu Chixian was ready to eat them, continuing to divide their troops would be asking for death. The combat effectiveness of this Hetao cavalry was inferior to that of the Hetao fine cavalry they brought out with one hand.
It's not a level. If you have a lot of blood, but don't have the combat effectiveness and coordination ability to match it, then you can only die on the battlefield. If these are their original subordinates, then they can completely send the army to thousands of cavalry.
The combat units allowed them to perform freely. But now, without excellent generals and commanders who can assess the situation, they will be no match for the Mandan army.
Although the combined forces gave Yelu Chixian enough troops and energy to deal with the attack of the Hetao cavalry, it also enhanced the assault capability and mobility of the Hetao army. Moreover, under the leadership of Fengjing and Xinke, the Hetao cavalry
The casualties have also been reduced. Although the two of them really want to train this cavalry earlier, they prefer to be able to do it step by step, rather than letting them mature in a bloody battle. The price is too high. Just like
It was the Battle of Hukou that year. The soldiers who survived the Hetao became the elite of the Hetao army later. However, the pain left by that battle in Hetao was too deep. Half of the soldiers died on the battlefield. So far, only
Transport their loyal bones back to Hetao. The hope is that these 30,000 cavalrymen will become the elites of Hetao's conquering the world in the future. However, in the two hours they sniped at the Mandan cavalry, the Hetao cavalry killed more than 8,000 Mandan soldiers.
, and he has already lost more than 5,000 men. If it continues like this and Yelu Chixian is really delayed for three hours as God said, it is still unknown whether half of the 30,000 cavalry can be left.
After all, the mobility of pure cavalry is stronger than that of Mandan's infantry and cavalry mixture. And Fengjing and Xingke are also different from the steady and cautious Yelu Chixian. Among the five generals of Hetao, except for the iron-walled Bian Chongxing, the other four are particularly aggressive.
.Although Fengjing and Xinke are not as good as the gangster-like Dugu, they are indeed much sharper than the established Yelu Chixian. Especially Xinke, who holds a double-edged battle ax, is even more powerful.
Killing the God Buddha to stop the Buddha, coupled with the weirdness of the worship, even if Yelu Chixian had the advantage in strength, the Hetao cavalry was not the elite of the Hetao, but for a while the Mandan army had nothing to do with this cavalry.
In fact, Yelv Chixian's biggest flaw was his misjudgment of the strategic purpose of the Hetao cavalry. In Yelv Chixian's view, the purpose of the Hetao army's surprise attack should be to reduce the pressure on the Yuzhou Road battlefield. After all, most of Qingfeng's elite troops now
They are already pressed on the Yuzhou Road battlefield. If there is a problem on the Yuzhou Road side, Qingfeng will not be far from the country's destruction. Haotian is a die-hard member of the Qingfeng royal family, and there are many capable people under his command, so he naturally understands this.
The consequences of the First World War. In order to distract Cassimbas, Haotian took great risks and broke into the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, giving the three northeastern countries the feeling that Hetao was preparing to take the opportunity to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. However, the Hetao left behind
The troops are limited, and this time they can take down the 50,000 soldiers of the Jinzhou Camp, which is their limit. With the current strength of Hetao's troops, it is completely impossible to expand the record. Of course, with the elite Mandan soldiers,
It is very difficult for the Hetao army to eat them all in such a short period of time. And the Hetao cavalry along the way is obviously stalling for time.
