Erlunqi took the remnants of the army, and there were less than 5,000 people left. Because the three thousand-man teams who were running horses and shooting arrows in the periphery never suffered any losses, they withdrew more than 1,000 people, joined forces, and fled back to the ancient city of Gaochang.
.
When E Lun Qi came, he was high-spirited and pointed out the situation, but he didn't take these people seriously.
He felt that he was familiar with the terrain. The southern route was full of canyons and basins, and the roads were narrow. There were many dangerous places along the way. He resisted step by step, which was enough to hinder the advance of the army.
When the army of Orqitu Khan returns, it will be the time for the decisive battle.
Unfortunately, it was only during the fight that he realized that he had been tricked by Yang Fan.
Yang Fan's main army did not take the south road at all, but took the risk of taking the north road where there was no water source.
He simply couldn't believe that this was done by a man with a reputation as a victorious general.
People can go without food for three days, but if they don't drink water for three days, it will be fine.
This is a small town of 20,000 people. The north road is 900 miles away and there is not a drop of water. Isn’t this crazy?
But it's useless to say anything now. Yang Fan must have gone north.
There are just these nasty pirates here.
He became angry and decided to vent his anger by killing the pirates.
Let them know who is the tiger in the desert and the wolf in the mountains.
This is not the sea, where only those blessed by the immortal God have the final say.
These people were short and as thin as jackals in the wilderness.
In the hands of the desert Mongolians as big as cattail leaf fans, it felt like they could be crushed to death.
However, it was only when we started fighting that we realized that these southerners were not easy to deal with.
They are cruel.
Some had one arm broken, but the other could still hold a spear pole under its armpit and stab the cavalry to death.
Both legs were broken, but he could still sit on the ground and stab the horse in the belly with a spear, causing the cavalry and the horse to grab the ground and fall.
These people don't seem to know what fear is. Their lives are endless and they fight endlessly.
Erlunqi had never been to the sea, nor had he been on a ship. He had never seen a battle at sea.
At sea, the victorious party often chops up the losing party and throws them all into the sea to feed the fish. They don't want prisoners because they don't have enough food to eat.
Therefore, there is no use in surrendering, no one accepts prisoners.
These pirates all fought to the death, not because they were brave, but because they were used to this way.
Even if he collapsed on the ground, he would still rely on sandbags and camel walls to keep loading his muskets and fire at them.
Yang Fan was woken up in the morning because of military situation.
Yang Fan put on his clothes and came to the city gate.
Standing at the crenel under the tower, looking down, I saw E Lunqi coming back.
At this time, he was looking at the Ming Dynasty flag hanging on the top of the city, feeling a little dazed.
He had been working as fast as possible along the way, but he didn't expect Yang Fan, who took the bow-back route, to arrive here earlier than he took the bow-string shortcut. It was obvious that the city had fallen.
He did not have the courage to attack the city.
He has more than 4,000 people and attacks a city garrisoned by 20,000 people. Isn't this lighting a lantern in the toilet?
"Let's go to Dabancheng and go around the city." He made a decision immediately. If he didn't leave at this time, he wouldn't be able to leave in a while.
It's not yet dawn, and the defenders are all sleeping.
When they go out, they have to get up first, then put on their clothes and armor. They have to pull out the horses and install saddles, which will take a while.
The large group of cavalry immediately changed direction and rode away.
Although they were very tired after traveling all night.
However, everyone knows that there is no hesitation at this time.
When Yang Fan saw E Lunqi was about to run away, he sneered and said: "This idiot wants to leave now, can he still leave? Let the servants stationed in Jiaohe deal with them."
After Yang Fan finished speaking, he had no interest in reading anymore and turned around to go back to sleep with the ladies.
It was only around five o'clock in the morning, and I was feeling very sleepy.
Due to the time difference here, it doesn’t get dark until half past eight.
On an open space in Gaochang City, a temporarily assembled wooden villa is Yang Fan's residence.
Yang Fan returned to the bedroom, took off his clothes and got into the warm bed. He hummed twice comfortably, and fell asleep again amid the dissatisfied murmurs of Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru.
I slept soundly after returning home, and it was already past ten o'clock when I woke up.
Yang Fan and his wife, don't have breakfast at this time, just wait for a while and have lunch directly.
While having lunch, news came that the servant group had won a great victory.
The Jia Ding Regiment's 3,600 cavalrymen faced off against more than 4,000 Heshuote remnants, and there was basically no suspense.
They were defeated in one charge.
E Lunqi never expected that Yang Fan would leave his family members waiting for him in Jiaohe Ancient City.
To go to Dabancheng, an important pass between three mountain ranges, you must pass through the ruins of Jiaohe Ancient City.
They just ran here and were about to take a rest. There are wells within the walls of the ancient city ruins here.
At this time, they had been running all night, and the horses and men were exhausted. It was time to take a rest, eat something and drink some water. They also fed the horses some fried beans.
Suddenly, they were attacked by a group of servants.
It was still dark at this time, and they had no idea how many people were coming from the other side.
At this time, the servant regiment is no longer the rookie they were before. After three years of war training, they have always been fighting on the front line and are already very elite cavalry.
The main reason is that their training intensity is much greater than that of the front-line troops. They are officer training teams and train officers. Currently, the Jia Ding Regiment, the Xinghe Regiment, and the Cavalry Training Regiment are three special units that train officers.
The Jiading Regiment mainly trains officers for the infantry army, the Cavalry Training Corps mainly trains officers for the cavalry army. The Heunghwa Regiment trains officers for the local garrison. In addition, the Jeju Naval Academy trains officers for the navy. In addition, there is the Heunghwa Academy Lecture Hall
Serves as a base for officer promotion and advanced training.
Their equipment is the best, and their treatment and benefits are also the best.
Their saber skills have also been trained in modern methods and they are very skilled in using them.
This time, because it was night, they did not use firearms, but directly drew their sabers and charged forward.
Then, it was a face-to-face fight between the two horses' necks.
The stab-proof camouflage uniforms of the Jiading Regiment have steel plates inserted inside. Because the Heshuote people also have firearms, many of which are large-caliber matchlock guns. The stab-proof uniforms cannot stop them, so bulletproof inserts must be added to the vital parts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as the battle began, there was a one-sided trend.
This shocked Elunqi.
The Mongolians have not been afraid of anyone in the horse war in the desert. The entire Western Region is no match for them. Even the Cossacks from the Rakshasa Kingdom are on par with them. They cannot take any advantage.
They play scimitar and equestrian skills from their ancestors.
However, as soon as the two sides started fighting, the opponent's group of five people came at them like a wall, like a tide, which was impossible to stop.
The opponent's sword skills were very sophisticated, fast and ruthless. The Heshuote people in front of him were cut off their horses just as soon as they met.
These people wear helmets with transparent face shields that can be pulled down, and the style is very strange.
These helmets are very thick, and there is a soft bag of two to three centimeters inside. Even if a heavy weapon hits them and a hole is made on the surface, there is no injury to the head inside.
He just paused for a moment and then immediately counterattacked.
This battle took place in the darkest moment before dawn, and the two sides fought purely on horseback and sword skills.
These Han Chinese are all young men of 17 or 18 years old. They are all over 1.85 meters tall and very strong. They have undergone brutal training, and their physical fitness is far better than these Heshuote people.
Moreover, they are waiting for work, waiting for them here.
And the troops and horses who were all together had been running all night, and they were so tired that some of the horses were frothing at the mouth.
Like boiling soup and pouring snow, they were directly rushed away by the wall of cavalry units.
Groups of groups riding on the wall emerged from the darkness, endless, impacting like a tide. The light of the sword flashed past, slashing these Heshuote men to their knees.
They didn't have a single enemy. They almost all rushed past each other once they met, leaving corpses everywhere.
Erlunqi's horse had already run out of strength, and after only a few rounds, it stumbled and fell.
A team of cavalry rushed over and prepared to kill him with their sabers.
Zhang Qida had sharp eyes and hurriedly shouted, "Catch him alive."
He saw the Zhisun clothes embroidered with gold thread on his body, which were very gorgeously decorated. He had been dealing with the Mongols for many years, and he knew that these were the clothes of Wanhu.
This is a big fish. It cannot be chopped, it must be caught alive.
