Hua Bushi used the Dazun tribe and the disciples of "Bai Longxing" to cover up with a feint attack, with the purpose of allowing Yu Jue's cavalry to attack the Mongolian shooters of the "Huhantu tribe". If the opponent's long-range troops could be eliminated, both sides would be able to win. It opened up the possibility of a war.
Jun's father wrote a line of instructions and handed it to Shi Qingzhu to issue. At the same time, Hua Bushi scribbled out three pieces of paper, but after thinking about it with a frown, he threw them all aside. .
Obviously, the eldest young master has not made up his mind and is still undecided on how to dispatch the army and horses.
The battle situation in the valley changed. The cavalry of the "Tiger and Rabbit Tribe" retreated backwards, attracting Yu Jue's official cavalry to pursue them. However, the other two Jurchen Tribe's men and horses had already assembled into an attack formation, heading towards the Dazhen Tribe and the " "Bailongxing" came over.
At the current situation, the situation in the valley has been divided into two battlefields. On the east side of the valley, Yu Jue's three hundred official knights and more than five hundred Mongolians advanced and retreated, while on the west hillside, the Black Wind Banner and Iron The total of 900 people in the guard camp "forced" 500 people from the Dazhu tribe and the Zhong family.
In fact, in these two battlefields, Hua Bushi was at a disadvantage. Although the Mongolians of the "Tiger and Rabbit Tribe" retreated, they were shooting arrows while running. This was the Mongolian's best fighting method. Yu Jue cited The soldiers were chasing after them, but they had to withstand the flying arrows that were constantly fired from the front. Although these officers and cavalry were all wearing armor, they could not be completely blocked. From time to time, some people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
On the west hillside, the difference in the number of troops between the two sides was almost doubled, and the strength and weakness of the two sides was clear at a glance.
Hua Bushi finally wrote down an instruction on paper and gave it to Meng Huan to issue in flag language.
At this time, I saw the disciples of the Dazhen tribe and "Bai Longxing" in the distance jumping off their horses one after another, each holding weapons and forming a dense battle formation on the hillside, obviously preparing to meet the opponent's cavalry attack.[
"Stop your horses and form a formation, and use the terrain on the slope to defend?" Jun's father squinted his eyes and stared at the opposite hillside, the smile on his face still undiminished, "It turns out that the one who wanted to set up the turtle formation was not me, but Master Hua. "
While joking, he wrote another order casually.
It was Hua Bushi's last resort to form a formation and defend. The Jurchen tribe was originally a nomadic tribe outside the Pass, and everyone was proficient in riding combat. However, the Dazhen tribe came from the South China Sea, and the disciples of "Bai Long Xing" were all from the Jianghu, and there was no such thing. No matter how much experience you have in cavalry combat, if you go against the Jurchen cavalry, you will definitely have no chance of winning.
Instead of using one's shortcomings to defeat the enemy's strengths, it is better to abandon the mount, take advantage of the slow speed of the horses on the slopes on the side of the valley, form a dense infantry formation to meet the enemy, and perhaps still have the strength to fight. Fortunately, "Tiger and Rabbit" The Mongolian cavalry archers of the "Ministry" have been driven away by the official cavalry led by Yu Jue. For a while, there is no need to worry about being attacked by the opponent's flying arrows.
The Dazhu tribe is the elite war department of the "Wanjin Hall", and the three hundred disciples of the "Bailong Hall" are also well-trained, and in the blink of an eye, five hundred people have formed a strong formation.
On the bluestone platform, everyone was watching the battle on the hillside intently. Seeing the men and horses on both sides getting closer and closer, the large group of cavalry was about to rush into the strong formation, but the Iron Guard camp in front suddenly turned around and turned around. The horse's head swept past the side of the fortified formation.
Hua Bushi's expression suddenly changed. He saw the group of black-armored knights unsheathing their sabers and taking out something two or three feet long from the pommel bridge. Then bursts of smoke flew up, accompanied by The sound of "bang bang bang bang" came from far away!
What those knights held in their hands were actually blazing guns!
I could only hear Jun's father laughing and saying: "Young Master Hua thought that by luring away the Mongolian archers, I would use long-range troops, but I miscalculated! The Iron Guard Battalion is the personal bodyguard of the Manchu Emperor. Their The ability of firearms to attack is probably not comparable to that of the Shenji Battalion in the Imperial Forest Army of the Ming Dynasty!"
Hua Bushi's face was as dark as water. He quickly wrote down several instructions with a pen and handed them to Meng Huan for distribution.
On the hillside, under a round of fire cannon attacks from the Iron Guard Battalion, thirty or forty disciples of the Dazhen tribe and the "Bai Long Hall" fell down. What was even worse was that the strong formation that had been formed was forcibly destroyed. A gap was created in the ground, and the Black Wind Banners who were following closely behind the Iron Guard Battalion immediately rushed into the formation on horseback.
Even though the speed of the horses on the hillside was not as good as on the flat ground, the impact of hundreds of knights could not be underestimated. The strong formation was penetrated almost in a moment, and the situation immediately became one-sided.
Facing the proud Junfu on the other side of the rock table, Yang Sichang, Zhong Bailong and others all had gloomy expressions, as if they were mourning for their heirs. Even the princess Zhu Huichan closed her mouth tightly and lost her voice.
The miscalculation this time was actually not to be blamed on Hua Bushi. He commanded Yu Jue's cavalry to drive away the Mongolian cavalry archers, and used the hillside terrain to welcome the opponent's cavalry attack with a strong infantry formation. This was the correct response. Iron Guard Even Yang Sichang, who had been stationed in the northern border for many years, did not know that the battalion was actually equipped with long-range attack guns, and Hua Bushi could not have predicted it.
The five hundred men and horses on the hillside have been completely defeated, and Yu Jue's three hundred cavalry are left alone. This battle can be said to be lost. Is it true that as Jun's father said before, their group is destined to be defeated in this valley today? What?[
Yang Sichang thought to himself, and when he looked at Hua Bushi, he saw him leaning forward with his hands on the rock. Although he clenched his teeth, he stared at the battle situation on the hillside in the distance with his eyes wide open.
Obviously, this young master has not given up!
Guided by Hua Bushi's gaze, Yang Sichang stared at him again, but couldn't help but let out a "huh" sound.
In Yang Sichang's opinion, the battle formation has been dispersed, and the strength of the opposing knights has almost doubled. The Dazhen tribe and the Zhong family on the hillside must have collapsed immediately. Such a judgment is not suitable for ordinary armies, or even the most elite ones. For infantry, there is nothing wrong with it.
However, the disciples of the Dazhu tribe and the "Bai Long Hall" are not armies. They are warriors in the martial arts world. The biggest difference between warriors and soldiers is the difference between fighting alone.
Most of the training that soldiers in the army receive is for large-scale battles. Only when bandits and bandits start fighting will they swarm forward in a chaotic manner. However, the training of warriors focuses on individual martial arts. Even if it is based on One person cannot withstand the impact of the enemy's military formation, but his ability to protect himself in chaos is far beyond the capabilities of ordinary soldiers.
Yang Sichang looked at the disciples of the Dazhu tribe and "Bailong Hall" on the hillside. Under the situation that the formation had been broken up, many people actually ran away from the "rebellious" army.
These people fled in all directions, causing the opponent's cavalry and horsemen to chase in all directions, and the formation began to become somewhat chaotic. Seeing this, Yang Sichang couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope again in his heart.
This situation was also seen in Jun's father's eyes, but he sneered a few times and said: "The remaining soldiers are defeated, and they still have some ability to escape. But even if they can escape for a while, they cannot escape for long. How can they still run on two legs?" Can you live with four legs?"
There were about 140 or 50 people from the Dazhen tribe who escaped, about 70% of them, but only about 50% of the disciples of the Zhong family were left. The rest were either shot to death by fire blunderbuss, or were killed or wounded by the opponent's cavalry. Under this round of impact.
The two sides had just clashed, and they had suffered so much loss. Hua Bushi clenched his fists, but a cold light flashed across his eyes, saying: "Escape is naturally a skill, but they don't just run away."
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded from the hillside: "Ozhu, fight back!"
This roar was made by Xiong Bailing, and it shook the valley with echoes. The bluestone platform was on the east side of the valley, hundreds of feet away, and could be heard clearly.
The strong men who were originally running in all directions suddenly turned around and rushed towards the pursuers. They waved their giant axes and machetes and chopped down twenty or thirty Black Wind Banners in an instant.
The giant men of the Dazong tribe are all tough men who have been carefully selected and recruited by Xiong Bailing and have undergone rigorous training. They can fight against the Black Wind Banners who have broken away from the military formation. They are more than enough to kill each other, and they can also seize the opportunity to counterattack. It was very appropriate, it was just when the opponent's knights were chasing and fleeing the enemy in all directions, and the formation was a bit scattered.
"Good fight! Kill those Jurchens!" It was Princess Zhu Huichan who shouted joyfully.
Jun's father's smile suddenly froze, and his face turned gloomy. He snorted coldly and said, "A fight between trapped beasts is useless!"
He picked up a pen and wrote down an instruction for Shi Qingzhu to send out.
Killing dozens of people, for the **100 cavalrymen, it was only a slight injury, which was far less than the damage suffered by the Dazhen tribe and the Zhong family disciples before. The gap between the two sides' soldiers and horses on the hillside was relatively The disparity was even greater before that.
Obviously, Junfu is also a man who is very good at using soldiers. After a few instructions were passed down, the two Jurchen tribesmen on the hillside immediately began to shrink their formation and no longer blindly chased the fleeing opponents. In this way, the Dazhen tribe would again It was no longer possible to make a surprise attack. After reorganizing their formation, the Iron Guard camp was on the right and the men and horses of the Black Wind Banner were on the left, and they "forced" towards the Han warriors scattered on the slope.
With the existence of the Iron Guard Battalion, the men and horses of the Dazhen tribe and the "Bai Long Xing" must not form a dense formation, otherwise they will become a ready target for the opponent's firecrackers, and they will have to be scattered against the attack of the Black Wind Banner Cavalry. ” But it is really difficult for the warriors who are spread out to resist.
The formation formed by the Iron Guard Battalion and the Black Wind Banners is like a pair of big scissors. Whoever falls between the two troops will be immediately crushed to pieces!
Seeing the situation on the hillside, Yang Sichang had several thoughts in his mind, but he did not think of any feasible strategy. If he were to lead the troops in the battle, in the current situation, he would probably have to throw up his hands and admit defeat. He turned around and looked Xiang Hua Bu Shi saw that the eldest young master also had his brows furrowed and his face full of solemn expression, but there was still light in his eyes, showing that he was still thinking about countermeasures.
Hua Bushi suddenly picked up his pen and wrote quickly. He wrote several pieces of paper and handed them to Meng Huan for distribution.
From the beginning of the war until now, Jun's father has only sent out a few four or five instructions, and he has always written them out calmly and calmly, while Hua Bushi has sent out at least twenty or more instructions, all of which were written calmly and calmly. It was written in a hasty and hurried manner. The advantageous situation of both sides on the battlefield can also be seen from this.
