94. Chapter 94 Pointing the battle formation eunuch commanding the army
The battle at the foot of the mountain naturally could not escape the eyes of the trapped Ming troops on the mountain. When the first wave of Ming troops won, the cheers given by the Ming troops included part of their contribution, but they were slightly farther away.
And behind the Mongols, the Ming army's brigade didn't notice their presence at all.
"It's the Three Thousand Battalion!" Wang Yu could see clearly that there was no other fighting method like this except the Three Thousand Battalion. It was estimated that these Tatars were used to fighting with the border troops on weekdays, so they were not prepared for this kind of resistance.
The fighting method of setting off a firecracker when he got close, and then using the firecracker as an iron rod to hit him was a bit unexpected, so he suffered such a big loss.
"Beijing Camp?" Liu Qingqing nodded, thoughtfully. But he couldn't understand why the Beijing Camp appeared here. Could it be that the siege of Datong was solved by the capital's troops? However, this Beijing Camp
The men and horses are not heavenly soldiers and generals, so how can they run so fast?
"That's right, their firecrackers are so precious. A firecracker costs seventy or eighty taels of silver to make. The Tatars must be dumbfounded now!" Wang Yu's sullenness that had accumulated for the whole day seemed to follow the same trend just now.
The cheers were swept away and he burst into laughter.
There was a slight look of envy in Liu Qingqing's eyes. If each of his brothers were equipped with such a sharp weapon, there would be no Tatars dared to wander in front of the mountain guards.
Wang Yu noticed Liu Qingqing's eyes: "If eldest brother likes it, I will find some for him in the future. I dare not say if there are more, but the guards around eldest brother can still have one shot!"
The battlefield in the distance was boiling again. The Mongolian cavalry had obviously learned their lesson and no longer gave the Ming army's cavalry a chance to approach and shoot. Instead, they adopted their accustomed tactics at night: mounted shooting. Thousands
People were galloping in the battlefield. Arrows were flying all over the sky, the sound of horse hooves, and the shouts of fighting were simply earth-shattering. Both sides separated immediately as soon as they came into contact. Occasionally, a knight who fell behind and was bitten by the tail of the other team was immediately killed.
Submerged in the opponent's cavalry formation.
The battle lasted for more than an hour. The sound of gold was heard in the Ming army, and the sound of horns was also heard in the Mongolian array. In this fierce battle, although the number of soldiers lost on both sides was only slightly more than in the first formation.
However, in terms of the level of brutality, it was far less than the first team. Moreover, the home teams of both sides, who had been watching the other side eagerly, did not engage in the battle. Obviously, no matter which side, no one was completely defeated today.
The meaning of a decisive battle is to look for the opponent's weaknesses and flaws, waiting for opportunities.
"Being smart!" Wang Yu and Liu Qingqing stood on the rocks on the mountain and watched the whole battle between the two sides. Seeing that both sides had withdrawn their troops and prepared to set up camp, he snorted slightly and gave such a
Comments.
Liu Qingqing tilted her head and looked at her sworn brother. Wang Yu pointed at the Mongolian cavalry formation in front and said with some disdain: "At the beginning, the Tatars suffered a loss of three thousand battalions, but they were cautious.
It’s no wonder that the Tatar leader thought that all the soldiers and horses in front of him were soldiers and horses like the Three Thousand Battalion. He didn’t even think about it. If our people were all equipped with equipment like the Three Thousand Battalion, they would
Why don’t you give me a fart? Get away as far as you can. If there is a piece of land for them to have babies, God will be merciful!"
"Not many people?"
"Of course there are not many. One of these troops and horses can be used by ten of us. Even the emperor would show his teeth in distress when he saw the cost of these troops and horses. Well, it is strange to say, who is so capable?
Move these troops and horses over here!"
"Then according to you, if you were the commander of the troops in front of you, how would you fight?" Liu Qingqing was also a little curious about this brother who knew the details of the Beijing camp. Due to his body size, this brother was very good in martial arts.
, there definitely wouldn’t be much to show for it, but he wanted to see if this brother had any outstanding insights on military strategy.
Wang Yu looked down the mountain, his brows serious, as if he had really assumed the role of the commander-in-chief of the Ming army: "Our soldiers and horses have come from afar, and there are no foot soldiers. In this regard, we don't owe much to the Tatars.
But the Tatars are good at riding and shooting. We don’t have too many elites like the Three Thousand Battalion. If we fight like this one on one, we can’t take much advantage. If we don’t do it, we will suffer a loss. It’s a pity, if there are foot soldiers.
, since it is possible to mobilize soldiers and horses like three thousand battalions, the Shenji Battalion and the fifth battalion must also be able to mobilize. Even the Shenji Battalion with one or two thousand people does not need Hongwu artillery. When the Tatars rush over, let the Shenji Battalion be mobilized.
The battalion fired several rounds of fire cannons at the Tatars, and then the foot soldiers of the five battalions held back the Tatars, and the three thousand battalions then flanked them and cut off their way back. Even these Tatars could not withstand our attack!
"
Liu Qingqing closed her eyes and thought for a moment. According to Wang Yu's description, a battle scene emerged in her mind. Using the combat power of the Three Thousand Battalion he had just seen as a benchmark, he felt that the gods of the same Beijing camp
The combat power, weapons and equipment combat power of the machine battalion and the five major battalions should not be much different. According to Wang Yu's instructions, it seems that the Mongols have no chance of winning at all.
Opening his eyes, he patted Wang Yu on the shoulder. He had learned how to be an enemy of a hundred people, but Wang Yu, his sworn brother, seemed to have learned how to be an enemy of ten thousand people.
"I think with your vision, you are more than qualified to be a general!"
Wang Yu secretly curled his lips, what the hell is a general? In the future, we will be the chief military officer. However, facing Liu Qingqing's kindness, he couldn't say such ungrateful words. He turned around and seemed to be unwilling.
She smiled shyly and said, "Actually, I'm not that powerful at all!"
A chubby big man suddenly became shy and coy. The hairs on Liu Qingqing's hair stood on end. This look of seeking death was as wretched as possible.
"Speak well!" Liu Qingqing directly hit his helmet with the riding crop in his hand. After chatting for a day, he got to know Wang Yu a little bit. Although Wang Yu looked very mature in appearance, in fact, this guy's mentality was just like a
The eldest child, since he calls himself eldest brother, the politeness between colleagues can be saved as much as possible. But this kind of invisible action makes the other party feel more cordial.
Sure enough, Wang Yu didn't feel displeased at all, he just slapped his mouth and looked at the enemy camp at the bottom of the mountain with two small eyes: "Of course I have no objection to being a general, but we have to get down the mountain alive.
That’s it, the reinforcements are almost in sight, and if we let the Tatars torture us to death, it would be a bit unfair!”
"I said, why are these Tatars surrounding us and not attacking? They know that our soldiers and horses are right behind their buttocks. This saves some combat power and makes us more confident in dealing with our soldiers and horses. However, this matter
We can’t let them get what they want!”
Wang Yu looked at the clearly separated two armies in the distance and said, "Brother, how about we send a few brothers who are not afraid of death to communicate with our troops and attack from both front and rear?"
"Don't squander the lives of brothers!" Liu Qingqing shook her head: "The Tatars are surrounded by people. Before they get close, arrows are shot at them. Even if they escape the arrows, a few people are here among hundreds.
Can you rush out in front of thousands of people? Let’s think of other ways!"
Not to mention how the two brothers discussed on the mountain, let us turn our attention to the Ming army camp where the troops have just withdrawn.
The armies of both sides distanced themselves. While carefully guarding against Mongolian sneak attacks, a large number of soldiers began to use simple tools and materials to build large camps. In this civil construction work, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were much better than the Mongols.
The people became more skilled, and in less than an hour, a camp appeared in front of the Mongols, with the front army, middle army, and rear army in an orderly manner.
The doctors accompanying the army also began to treat the wounded soldiers in the battle. The wounded soldiers were carried one by one by their comrades to the rear camp, where they would receive timely treatment. Maybe there was not much medicine, but as long as they got over it now
, basically, this life is saved.
However, that was not the busiest place in the entire camp. The busiest place was, of course, the Chinese army tent where Zhang Yong and Qian Wubing were.
Qian Wubing stood quietly in the corner of the Chinese army tent, watching Zhang Yong in a daze. From time to time, generals came over to ask for instructions and returns. At this time, Zhang Yong came back to his senses, gave a few simple orders, and then the generals
Taking his orders, he hurried out again.
Busy, but orderly. With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, whether marching, fighting or camping, many matters were handled in an orderly manner according to Zhang Yong's casual orders.
Qian Wubing looked at the person in front of him and felt slightly. If this person underestimated the world's heroes, he would really die without knowing how!
Just like the person in front of me.
Eunuch, this is a eunuch, a eunuch who has a much worse reputation than Liu Jin. Who would have thought that there would be such a hero among eunuchs. Qian Wubing witnessed Zhang Yong commanding this battle. At this moment,
Seeing Zhang Yong in a daze, he had to admit that bringing Zhang Yong with him to Datong was actually the wisest decision the emperor had made since he met him.
He already knew that more than half of the three thousand battalions of soldiers and horses were lost in the first line. If it were a border army general, it would be hard to say whether he could command these arrogant and powerful generals from the capital, even if he could command them.
The reason why the front line ordered soldiers and horses piled up with money to die was just to kill the Tatars' spirit and make the Tatars misjudge the strength of their own army. With such an order, these proud soldiers and generals in the capital would not mutiny on the spot.
, which is already very respectable to the general leading the team.
But under Zhang Yonglai's command, this kind of thing would not happen, and even more so with the soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp sacrificing their lives to fight. In the subsequent battles, the cavalry summoned from Datong and the cavalry from several military forts gathered along the way,
They dare not hesitate at all. Their lives may not be more valuable than the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp. These young soldiers dare to risk their lives. Could it be that the frontier troops, who are known for their bravery, are just useless?
?
It is precisely because of this that in the subsequent head-on battle with the Mongolian cavalry, these frontier troops were able to fight equally. The casualties of both sides were almost the same, almost one life for another. Such a record seemed a bit overwhelming.
It's hard to accept, but such a record against the Mongols can be considered a great victory. For the Ming Dynasty, which has constant border troubles, if someone suddenly comes out and tells the Ming Dynasty's cabinet that two Ming Dynasty soldiers can be replaced by one Mongolian soldier
The cavalry and the Ming Dynasty's cabinet will definitely agree without hesitation. There are as many Mongolians as there are in the Ming Dynasty. Such an exchange would make several cabinet ministers laugh out loud in their dreams.
Because of their fighting, now they can camp, eat, and treat wounded soldiers safely under the eyes of the enemy, instead of being defeated by the Mongols who have been waiting for their arrival before they can gain a foothold.
Collapsed upon impact.
And all this is because of the eunuch who is already very old in front of him. This eunuch is obedient in front of the emperor and decisive in killing in front of thousands of troops.
