Chapter seven hundred and thirty-ninth see the needle
Yun Chong observed the little change in the battle situation, handed the command flag in his hand to his deputy general, told him some things that needed attention, and then rushed towards the position of deputy commander Wan Mingliang.
"Deputy Marshal, the cavalry brothers need help. We have a certain disadvantage in terms of the number of cavalry. Now that the enemy has replaced them with sophisticated military equipment, the casualties of our brothers are not optimistic.
There is no news as to when the general will be able to join forces. I suggest that we allocate 30% of our infantry to cooperate with our cavalry brothers.
Now that the speed of the cavalry has been suppressed, the archers, knife-hands, and hook-scythe gunners, under the cover of the shield-hands, are fully capable of sharing the pressure of the cavalry brothers."
Wan Mingliang listened to Yun Chong's urgent words and quickly glanced at the cavalry duel that was surrounded by melee.
"If the enemy retreats in a roundabout way and widens the distance, the 30% of the troops that have been separated will immediately be surrounded by tens of thousands of enemy cavalry that are roundabout and charging on both sides.
Then the casualties will be even greater."
Looking at Yun Chong, who was frowning subconsciously, Wan Mingliang put away the command flag in his hand and raised his hand to wave it.
"Let's do this. You and I will each take 40% of the troops and charge in a triangular arrow array to assist the cavalry officers, leaving 20% of the troops to cover the crossbowmen and gunners. As long as the tens of thousands of enemy troops on both sides dare to attack any
With troops and horses all the way, we can quickly and effectively complete the encirclement."
Yun Chong narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: "Okay, there will be no problem in the end."
"Commander!"
"exist!"
"Instruct the cavalry generals of each battalion that our two legs cannot outrun the four legs of the war horses. We order them to trap the enemy troops who are in a melee with them, and do not let them withdraw from the battlefield because of our charge."
"Got the order!"
"Vice General Wang!"
"The end is here!"
"You lead Hu Ben and 30,000 tiger and leopard troops to guard the crossbows and artillery positions. Enemy troops on both sides will attack the formations of my commander and General Yun. Immediately provide artillery support."
"The last general takes orders."
Yunyang raised the flag in his hand again and looked at Yun Chong.
"Go and give the order!"
"Okay, be careful of the enemy's hidden arrows!"
"The same to you!"
"Um!"
Yun Chong responded and hurried towards his position.
The sound of war drums rumbled amidst the sound of artillery, transmitting some signals that they could distinguish to the surrounding infantry.
When the flag-bearer waved the flag and rushed to attack, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses immediately divided into three groups, waving their weapons towards the cavalry in the melee around them and charging towards them.
The dragon infantry suddenly changed its attack method, which stunned Ashinamo who was commanding the troops.
Looking in the direction of the flag-bearer, he immediately understood the intention of Dalong's soldiers and horses.
Subconsciously, he ordered his troops to intercept him, but the words of his personal guard and observer woke him up.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's artillery and crossbows have been redirected."
Ashinamo thought for a moment.
"Send the order to immediately support the men who are fighting with the dragon's soldiers and horses, and help them rush out of the battlefield. They should focus on the attack. They must not fall into the enemy's encirclement."
"Got the order!"
Ashnamo's order was passed on, and the Turkic cavalry that attacked in a roundabout way from both sides immediately charged towards the surrounding cavalry battlefield.
Because of the war horses, they struck later and the dragon infantry joined the battlefield first.
The faces of Yunyang and the two men changed slightly, and they waved the command flags in their hands.
"Archers suppress. Marksmen pay attention to shooting their generals as much as possible!"
The enemy and ourselves each convey orders that are beneficial to themselves.
The first large-scale melee in the raid on the grassland was fiercely staged on the grassland twenty miles away from the Turkic Royal Court.
In the Turkic royal court.
Huyan Yunyao and the empress looked at Ashihe who was kneeling on one knee in front of him with pale faces, and a group of generals also frowned tightly.
Huyan Yunyao stopped wandering and looked at Ashihe with her eyebrows furrowed.
"Are you...are you sure you heard correctly, there were a lot of artillery sounds?"
A Shihe nodded without hesitation: "Replying to the Great Khan, I have come to inform the Great Khan on the order of the King that our Lu Department has engaged with the enemy's front army.
The humble man had been guarding against the appearance of the dragon scouts all the way. He had just rushed for less than three miles when he heard the sound of killing, followed by dense and continuous loud blasts of artillery.
Although I don't know how many artillery pieces there will be, I guess based on my experience of fighting against the dragon several times, there will definitely be a lot of them.
We all think you are right, Great Khan, that Dalong will not have these weapons of war, but apart from artillery, I really don’t know what else can make a sound like the explosion of thunder."
After Huyan Yunyao heard what Ashihe said, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and looked at the queen beside him blankly.
The queen looked over and understood the question in Huyan Yunyao's eyes.
With such deep snow, the speed of the war horses' attack was greatly restricted. How did the dragon soldiers and horses carry these heavy combat weapons and rush to the territory of the Turkic Royal Court so quickly within three or four days?
This is completely unreasonable.
The queen understood the question in Huyanjunyao's eyes, but didn't know how to answer it.
Because her heart was also at a loss and full of questions at this moment.
How did Dalong bring these artillery pieces into the grassland without slowing down the march?
The Jin Kingdom also has artillery, so the Queen is still very clear about their weight.
The clearer it becomes, the more confused it becomes.
Does Dalong also have something like a fire dragon chariot?
But let’s not talk about the speed of the dragon train. Just laying the track in advance will take at least a year and a half to complete, three or four days. How is this possible?
"Report to the Great Khan. To the east of the royal court, the Duolu tribe and Dalong's forward troops are in trouble. The sound of cannons on the battlefield is rumbling and continuous. At least there are about fifty artillery pieces."
The Condor Shooting Scout who suddenly rushed in made everyone in the tent come back to their senses and subconsciously looked at the scout and Ashoka.
It turns out that Ashihe was right, Dalong really brought a large number of artillery to fight.
Now that artillery is available, there must be many crossbows and other weapons that are many times lighter than artillery.
"Report, Shibi's troops are in a melee with Dalong's enemy army. Dalong's commander Yunyang has led a group of soldiers and horses to the royal court to join forces with Dalong's front army. The whole army will arrive in less than a day."
"Report, a total of 110,000 troops from thirty-eight tribes from east to west, from north to south, large and small, rushed to the royal court to join forces!"
"Report, Shi Zhe's 50,000 elite troops will rush to the royal court to complete the alliance within one day."
The arrival of the scouts one after another impacted the hearts of everyone present again and again.
Although the news brought was both good and bad, the remaining reports can only be said to be insignificant in terms of the impact brought by the large number of artillery and other weapons brought by Dalong.
Especially the Queen, who was already in a state of confusion.
The dragon carried a cannon and crossbow, which meant that the expected advantage of his own infantry was not only gone, but was now at a disadvantage in an instant.
If the eagle shooter named A Shihe from the Dulu tribe hadn't reported in time, it would have been really unknown who would be seriously injured in the event of a fight.
The queen looked at Uncle Wang Wanyan Chiezha and Yeruha. Seeing their frowns, she had no choice but to focus on Huyan Yunyao again.
A group of Turkic generals in the tent also followed Hu Yanyu and looked at the Khan.
Her guess was wrong, which meant that her own advantage was gone.
Huyan Yunyao was stunned for a long time, and suddenly looked at A Shihe.
"You said that the enemy troops in the vanguard of Dalong fought against you twenty miles away in the Royal Court."
"Reporting to the Great Khan, that's right."
"What's the strength of the troops?"
"Reporting to the Great Khan, there are about 150,000 infantry and 670,000 to 70,000 cavalry. The total strength should be around 200,000."
"How many elite soldiers have come from your Dulu tribe?"
"More than ninety thousand people."
Huyan Yunyao's eyes flickered for a while, then she looked at the scout who had just come in.
"Tuba, Ben Khan remembers that you just said that the coach of Dalong is still one day away from the front army of Dalong?"
"Replying to the Great Khan, plus the time spent on the return trip to report, should be less than a day."
"Approximately how many troops are there?"
"Around 150,000! We can't rule out that there will be follow-up troops to follow!"
Huyan Yunyao suddenly slapped her slender thigh, which made everyone in the tent excited: "Huyanyu, Bahan, listen to the order."
"You two have brought enough food and grass and each led 50,000 cavalry to support the Dulu tribe. Once the Yunyang tribe arrives, you will immediately withdraw without any purpose. We will contact the Golden Eagle Falcon.
Use fire and thunder bombs to destroy their artillery and crossbows as much as possible."
