At the same time, the defenders of the outer circle of the Ming-Manchuria Allied Forces had just put the soldiers into the inner circle, and came to the Chinese Army through the ignorant Yehe Station. Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun, who were also awakened urgently, had already arrived at the big tent.
In the middle, everyone adjusted their military uniforms and received the visitors.
There were originally ten people, and the leader came to pay homage. This man was less than thirty years old, powerful and awe-inspiring, with resolute eyes. He was wearing a dark brown suit with no stripes, and there were two crossed swords embroidered on his left chest, with two swords in the middle.
There is no mark on the tablets, but there are a few words embroidered on the bottom of the two swords: Jinghua Liaodong Iron Works Cavalry. On his upper left sleeve, an armband is pinned with a pin, which reads "One Zero Thirty Four One".
Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun, as direct generals with high pragmatism, were very familiar with various servants in Jinghua. They knew that the coat of arms on this person's left chest represented the "unit" to which he belonged, and his number was written on the armband.
However, this alone could not confirm his identity, so this person stepped forward to pay homage and immediately said: "I have seen Mr. Xiao, Ma Canrong, and the small cavalryman Wang Pingshan of the mine protection team of Jinghua Liaodong Iron Works, number 1034
"First, please check the waist tag." After saying this, he handed over a delicate steel waist tag with both hands.
Xiao Ruxun motioned to the bodyguard to take the waist plate and check it. It was a steel plate half a finger thick, with Jinghua's complete calligraphy and sword logo engraved on the front, and two lines of vertical characters written on the back: "One Zero Three Four One", "Three Rivers"
Wang Pingshan".
Sanhe is a county under the Shuntian Prefecture of the capital. Writing here means that Wang Pingshan is from Sanhe. Although Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun are not from the capital, they can definitely hear the accent of the capital, so they looked at each other and recognized it.
Wang Pingshan’s identity.
Xiao Ruxun asked: "Wang Huqi has come a long way to work hard. I heard that you have something urgent to report. I wonder what the emergency is?"
Wang Pingshan carefully took out a small oil paper bag from his arms and handed it over, and replied: "Our factory's Fuxin Development Station received a message from General Cao of Ji Town, saying that Chahar's army has returned eastward. The details are here
Among them, I would like to ask the general Rong to take a look at it."
Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun were both shocked. When they first sent out troops, they were afraid that Tumen would appear out of nowhere. However, after dealing with Abadai Saiyin Khan for a long time, they discovered that Tumen were not there at all. Now they have almost forgotten about Tumen.
, but they might appear at any time, which is really unlucky.
Bad luck? More than just bad luck!
After reading the letter from the flying pigeon, the two of them couldn't help but gasped: based on the time the Chahar Mongolian army left and their footsteps, I am afraid they have now reached the vicinity of their own army's station!
Without saying a word, Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered four additional sentinels to be sent out to patrol the camp at night, and asked the Jinghua Cavalry's sentinels to come out by name - the reason was that they had special flares provided by Jinghua, and the warning effect was best at night.
Ma Chengxun did not dare to neglect, and went down to inform his subordinates who acted as the central army to prepare for battle, but he was allowed to undress and rest.
Xiao Ruxun took the opportunity to ask Wang Pingshan a question: Since General Cao used Jinghua's flying pigeons to send messages, why was the news delayed to this point?
Wang Pingshan explained with some embarrassment that originally the flying pigeon message was sent to Fuxin, but Fuxin had no cavalry, so he had to send someone to Guangning temporarily. On the way to Guangning, he happened to meet his group.
He was escorting a batch of supplies to Fuxin, so the two people discussed it and he led the team to search for it.
In fact, his team was not the only one who went out to the fortress, but a total of twelve teams. Everyone copied the original text of the flying pigeon message and took it with them. However, his team happened to find a large amount of horse dung, and then used it to find the
Just the position of the army.
In the vast grassland, there are only more than a hundred people in twelve teams. It is a blessing among misfortunes to find the Ming, Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces.
Xiao Ruxun didn't have time to sigh when he suddenly noticed a red light flashing outside the tent. He was stunned for a moment before hearing a scream of "咻——".
Wang Pingshan stood up straight suddenly and reminded him very quickly: "General Xiao, this is the enemy signal flare of the Jinghua Cavalry. There are a large number of enemy troops nearby!"
"Send the order to the whole army, the enemy is attacking... No! To send the order to the whole army, just say that the sentinel has discovered that the enemy is approaching, and all units are ready to meet the enemy. However, no army is allowed to attack without orders. Anyone who disobeys the order will be subject to military law!"
Just as the ordering soldier responded and was about to leave, Xiao Ruxun suddenly added: "Wait a minute, order the armies in the outer circle to fight on foot to meet the enemy, gather all the war horses, etc., and lead them to the inner circle of the southern line. Do it immediately, without any mistakes!"
The Ming-Manchu-Mongolian coalition immediately started moving, while Abadai Saiyin Khan in the Mongolian coalition to the east was cursing: "What if these people who can't pee are discovered!"
There are very few words specifically used to curse people in ancient Mongolian, and from a traditional perspective, Mongolians may have a different understanding of the behavior of "insulting" than Han people. Basically, Mongolians rarely use insults with
Words used to insult relatives or certain organs.
Generally speaking, when the situation is not serious, the emphasis is on sarcasm and using the other person's shortcomings as an excuse. This is not due to quality, but a way for the insulter to improve his verbal skills, similar to Zhuge Liang scolding Wang Lang.
When the situation is serious, he will compare the other party to an animal. If the other party is stupid, he will call the other party a cow; if the other party is stubborn, he will call the other party a donkey; if the other party is cruel, he will compare the other party to a beast; if the other party is cunning, he will call the other party a beast.
Wolf, and so on.
Of course, you may not always use metaphors. You may also directly point out the other party's shortcomings, such as stupidity, stupidity, stubbornness, madness, cunning, etc. Generally speaking, once it is time to directly use such words, it means that the situation is serious.
.
Sometimes, the other person's family lineage or the other person's own lineage will be targeted. For example, calling someone a thief's son or daughter; implying that the other person's mother was pregnant with him/her because of a thief at home. Or directly calling someone a thief's family.
, these are all curse words that insult the honor of the other party’s family (bloodline).
If the situation gets to the point of taking action, the Mongols will resort to using curses! For example, they say that the other party will be punished by heaven, that the other party will bleed to death, that the other party will have no offspring, that the other party's cattle and sheep will suffer from plague, etc. Especially
The last one is almost the most miserable situation for traditional nomadic life.
However, Abadai Saiyin Khan’s scolding sentence is relatively rare. In fact, he was “infected” by Chinese. He was actually scolding people for “having no urinary properties” or “cowards”. As for why it became “cannot urinate”
"Urine" may be due to the mistranslation of the word during the dissemination process.
The Great Khan of Tumen was very calm as a Great Khan. He rode on his horse and commanded Ruoding, saying: "Abadai, you are the vanguard of this Khan. You can send someone to test it out first to see how the Han people are prepared. Remember,
Don't rush into the formation, try and retreat, and retreat quickly."
Although Abadai Saiyin Khan was not very good at politics and was very fierce in his words, he was actually quite cautious in military matters. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to even maintain some results after being alone on the Eastern Front for so long.
Advantage.
He was very satisfied after listening to Tumen Khan's words. Although it was not a good job to be instructed to fight as a vanguard, it was a consistent Mongolian tradition, and it could be heard from Tumen's instructions that Tumen did not just send him
and the Transkarkha tribe as cannon fodder.
Abadai Saiyin Khan personally led the troops forward to serve as the vanguard. In terms of specific command, according to Mongolian habits, Tumen Khan did not ask. He turned his head slightly and looked towards Burihatu, sighing.
: "It seems that you guessed it right. Those Beijing Cavalrymen really came to report the message. But why did they deliver the message so quickly?"
Burihatu thought for a while and said: "During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, there were people in the northern part of our country who traveled to Haidongqing to deliver messages, and the Southern Dynasty also had the method of flying pigeons to deliver messages. Since ancient times, Haidongqing is hard to find and carrier pigeons are easy to raise, so pigeons are easy to raise.
With Jinghua’s financial resources, it would be easy to tame some homing pigeons.”
However, he did not dwell on this matter. Instead, he changed the topic with a worried expression and said in a deep voice: "Khan, tonight's battle... I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Tumen sweated and frowned: "How can we see it?" Even so, what Tumen really wants to say is not why we can see it, but "Isn't it your initiative to fight this battle?"
Burihatu sighed softly, shook his head and said: "I propose a sneak attack at dawn because it is difficult to launch a sneak attack here. That is, once our army succeeds in a sneak attack, Xiao Ruxun and others will have no way to escape, and the tens of thousands of troops will be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. So.
, our army will cover up the conflict, which will definitely lead to bloodshed, and we are expected to win a shocking victory.
However, the other side was not only prepared, but also——" He pointed to the outer circle of the Ming army and said: "Look, Great Khan, the Ming army was originally all cavalry, but now do you see cavalry in the eyes of the Great Khan? They turned cavalry into infantry.
, have begun to set up their formation, this is to use their best defense to offset our army's charge.
If what I predict is true, by the time Aba Dai's troops come forward, the Ming army may have already arranged the troublesome bayonet hollow square formation, so it will be too difficult for our army to smoothly attack and cover up the enemy."
Hearing the Ming army's bayonet hollow phalanx, Tumen Khan's scalp tightened immediately, and he was silent for a moment before saying: "Then...what do you think?"
Burihatu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, his eyes flickered, and said: "Our Chahar headquarters must be cautious. Whether to attack or not, we might as well wait and see the effect of the Outer Khalkha department's trial. In addition... the Outer Khalkha department wants to
Don’t launch a charge, it depends on how the Great Khan views Abadai.”
"What do you mean by this?" Tumen Khan felt that there was something in his words and asked immediately.
Burihatu was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "Does the Great Khan think Abadai is still loyal?"
Tumen frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "You should be able to obey orders in good times, but it's hard to tell in bad times."
"What if he loses half of his men tonight?" Burihatu's face returned to its usual calmness, even vaguely covered with a layer of solemnity, and he said coldly: "Now I have about 40% of Chahar in Outer Khalkha.
Strength, Abadai's rule in Outer Khalkha is justifiable, deeply rooted, and cannot be shaken easily. But if he only has 20-30% of Chahar's strength after tonight, is it possible for him to disobey the Great Khan's orders?"
"If this is the case, he will naturally be more afraid of Ben Khan. But if he breaks the pot and just throws in Hanaji, then Ben Khan will be like a piece of cake?" Tumen couldn't help but shook his head.
Burihatu also shook his head and said: "This will not happen. Great Khan, if Aba Dai loses more than 10,000 troops today, he will have a big feud with the Ming court, and it is impossible to resolve it unless it is absolutely necessary.
, even if the solution is to be solved, it will take at least ten years. Otherwise, how can he convince the generals of the various tribes in Outer Khalkha?"
Tumen Khan hesitated, and after a moment, he shook his head slightly and said, "Let's take a look first, and we'll talk about it later."
Burihatu seemed to really just make a suggestion, not much persuasion. He nodded, pursed his lips forward, and said, "We're about to fight." Tumen nodded, but said nothing more.
As expected, there is about to be a battle at the front. The Mongolian troops in the Transkalkha region under Abadai Saiyin Khan have relatively good morale because of the recent war. Although they are facing the famous bayonet hollow phalanx, they are not afraid at all.
Meaning - to put it bluntly, although the Bayonet Hollow Phalanx has become famous in recent years and its fierce power has spread beyond the Great Wall, the Outer Khalkha tribe has never suffered any losses, so naturally it lacks some awe.
Surprisingly, the morale of the Ming army was also good. Especially since this battle was on the eastern front of the Ming army. This line was formed by the Jinghua cavalry abandoning their horses. The Jinghua cavalry had not suffered any losses before - mainly Xiao Ruxun.
They have always been reluctant to send them into battle easily to avoid serious losses and Gao Pragmatic Accounts - Therefore, the Jinghua Cavalry are not afraid of the Mongolian army at all.
Another reason is that many of the Jinghua Cavalry were "upgraded" from the infantry due to their outstanding performance. For them, switching to infantry combat is not a problem at all, and they even have more confidence, so they naturally do not panic at all.
, and even a little eager to try.
The only thing that made the cavalry a little dissatisfied was that they did not consider the possibility of a positional battle before sending troops, so they did not carry artillery. This made the cavalry feel that their lineup was a bit incomplete. Otherwise, the other side's cavalry would slowly start to move towards them.
When they are approaching and are about to start to speed up, they should be covered with one or two rounds of artillery fire first.
The bayonet hollow phalanxes were not arranged in a straight line. At this time, they were actually arranged in eight hollow phalanxes, with 500 people in each phalanx, and were arranged in two staggered rows, with four phalanxes in each row. Aba Dai Saiyin
Khan first sent five thousand cavalry forward to test the situation, using traditional scattering methods.
This approach has little effect on the Jinghua Cavalry, because although the barrels of the lances in their hands are slightly shorter than those of the Wanli II rifles, the effective shooting distance is only eight feet, which is more than twenty meters, which is exactly the same as that of the Mongolians.
The effective range of the cavalry bow is almost the same. In this way, both sides shoot arrows and I shoot. In the end, because they are "sniping" at the farthest distance, the results are very few - less than 20 casualties on each side.
This is quite interesting. Abadai Saiyin Khan felt that he was at a loss because the Mongolian population was too small. It was not easy for Jinghua to train cavalry, and they lost more than a dozen in one wave, so he also felt that it was not worthwhile.
Therefore, Abadai Saiyin Khan decided not to test it, and directly charged into the formation, intending to test the merits of the world-famous bayonet hollow phalanx.
Perhaps because Chaohua was captured in the battle that year, he was a little uneasy. Abadai Saiyin Khan did not personally lead the troops into the battle, but stayed behind and ordered the entire army to assemble to attack.
