Although they had already felt the baptism of blood and fire, the Kaman army, which was at an absolute disadvantage, did not collapse. The good quality of their individual soldiers and the officer system made them quickly wake up from the panic. There is no room for rescue of food and grass, but the enemy's weakness is also exposed. All the troops coming are light cavalry and not a single infantry. As long as the enemy can be firmly held back, the reinforcements from Yulin can catch up in less than two hours. Even the infantry would not take more than four hours.
Under the scolding of the officers, the Kaman soldiers who had managed to escape quickly began to assemble on the spot and formed a team. A weak and incomplete encirclement gradually surrounded them, gradually forming a chain of shackles, as if to tell the story of those who were still galloping around the camp. The Western Xinjiang cavalry is firmly locked, but the Western Xinjiang cavalry is not weak. Long before the attack, the general has repeatedly told them not to be reluctant to fight, especially not to stay in the enemy's camp. The Kaman people's powerful counterattack ability is the entire Eastern Continent. There are only a handful of them, as long as the grain and grass carts are burned down, the strategic goal is achieved, and killing the Kaman soldiers is just a side result of taking advantage of them.
Without waiting for the Kaman people's defense line to be successfully constructed, relying on the powerful maneuverability of coming and going like the wind, the Xijiang cavalry had already rushed out when the encirclement closed. Not only did they rush out, but they also immediately divided into countless small assault arrows for use. Kaman's army concentrated its forces and was eager to encircle the enemy, and launched a second attack from the periphery. Obviously, they did not expect that the Xijiang people would dare to launch a second wave of attacks after finally escaping from the siege. The Kaman people once again paid a bloody price for their underestimation of the enemy. According to subsequent investigations, the first wave of attacks by the Western Xinjiang cavalry killed less than 3,000 Kaman soldiers, in addition to burning grain trucks. However, the second wave of counterattacks caused the loss of at least 4,000 infantry soldiers. , if the Kaman cavalry stationed in the front had not arrived in time, perhaps the Kaman infantry of ten thousand people would have declared complete relief.
However, the arrival of the Kaman cavalry only saved the camp from being completely destroyed. Although the commander had orders not to fight easily with the opponent's cavalry, the experienced Bayin Zhuo soon discovered the number of the enemy's cavalry. However, there were only a few thousand people, far outnumbered by him. Since the enemy was following and pursuing him, there was no reason not to give the opponent a chance. Bayin Zhuo quietly motioned to the galloping cavalry to separate into two groups and spread out to the two wings to retreat. , but the main team deliberately slowed down and waited for the enemy cavalry in the rear to catch up. Seeing that the enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer, Bayin Zhuo ordered the main team to speed up quickly to get rid of the enemy, and then ran around in a figure of eight after running for several miles. Counterattack with a circle side attack.
Unexpectedly, after the Xijiang cavalry fled in embarrassment, they counterattacked head-on. The Kaman cavalry, who was caught off guard, immediately engaged in a melee with the Xijiang cavalry. However, the two flanking teams had quietly detoured and violently attacked from behind the Kaman cavalry while the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing. A stabbing. The Kaman side, which was already inferior to the Western Xinjiang light cavalry in terms of number and combat effectiveness, was suddenly cut into several pieces by these two swords. In just over an hour, the brutal decisive battle between the rangers and the light cavalry left five thousand Kaman soldiers. Only less than two thousand cavalrymen were able to break through the encirclement and fled in panic.
Seeing the firelight rising to the south, the whole sky was reflected in a fiery red. It stung Viscount Chirif's nerves like needles in the dark night sky. The damn Tanghe people must be damned Li Wufeng. Only his army can He dared to travel hundreds of miles to take a risk. Remembering that the coach had repeatedly warned him to be careful before leaving, he also felt that Mr. Nick was becoming more and more timid as the war continued. Unexpectedly, unfortunately, this kind of thing actually happened. On his own head.
The Western Xinjiang Army must have used their nomadic cavalry when they dared to sneak attack on the grain transport convoy. On this point, Chirif's judgment was accurate. In this case, the only way to save the situation was to rely on his fifteen thousand soldiers. Military strength can hold back the opponent and prevent the opponent from succeeding at once. If the opponent is too greedy and wants to wipe out this army in one fell swoop, then he may still be able to catch up with the battle, but Chirif also knows that this possibility is very small. However, in this case, if you want to avoid going to a military court, you can only hope for this possibility.
Fifteen thousand cavalry have rushed south as fast as possible, and 20,000 infantry have also followed out from Yulin City. Chirif's mind has been completely burned out by the fire, and he has no idea in his mind. Just rush to the scene quickly to see what the situation is and how much food is left. You must know that it is the military rations for the garrisons in Fanlin and Jiama areas. This is all from the hands of the gentry and civilians in Heishan and Longquan. Captured from the ground.
"What did you say? The enemy cavalry has moved south? What about behind? How many infantry are there?" The tall, thin man with stern eyebrows and hawk-like eyes suddenly shrugged his shoulders on horseback, apparently attracted by the breathless scout's report.
"Yes, when the Wang Family Terrace caught fire, the Kaman people in Yulin City were like a hornet's nest stabbed in the back. They suddenly became chaotic. Now more than 10,000 cavalry have gone south. The younger ones saw that the infantry team had already moved south. I just came here to report after leaving the city." The scout's eyes were also shining with excitement. Being able to find out such important information would mean that after the battle, there would be fewer meritorious service awards.
He has always been very dissatisfied with the regiment commander's order to arrange for his Ten Thousand Cavalry team to quietly lurk in the suburbs of Yulin City. Seeing the Ten Thousand Cavalry Team sneak attack on the Kaman people's grain transport convoy, he watched helplessly in a daze. This feeling is really true. It feels uncomfortable. If the enemies in Yulin City don't go to Wangjiataizi for reinforcements, I will spend the night here in vain. I am not afraid of staying up all night, but watching others wield swords and guns in battle, I feel like a fool. Standing here in a daze, no one else would be happy.
However, after the rain, the clouds cleared and the mist dispersed. The regimental commander's prediction came true. The Kaman people in Yulin City could not sit still. Now it is our turn for the 20,000th cavalry to make contributions. He was so excited that he rubbed his big hands violently. Chiwu, the commander of the 20,000 Cavalry Team of the First Corps, could not suppress the excitement in his heart and roared with a trembling voice: "Children, now is the time for our 20,000 Cavalry Team to perform. It's time. Haven't the Kaman people been clamoring that their infantry is invincible? It's time for them to see the cavalry and shooting skills of the Western Xinjiang cavalry. If we win this battle, Master Li and Master Bo will not treat us badly. Children, what do you think we should do now?!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The red eyes like ox eyes were completely filled with killing intent. The only wish of the nomadic warrior who was aroused at this moment was to enter the battlefield and use his saber and iron hoof to witness the next moment. Only by using the blood of enemies can the prairie man wash away his bad luck and prove his true worth!
It was like a hurricane blowing on the ground. As the pace and frequency of the ten thousand cavalry increased, the entire cavalry formation was like the center of a moving storm, kicking up waves of yellow dust and roaring toward the east. go. Grass clippings, leaves, and soil all turned into powder under the iron hooves, covering the fanatical cavalry warriors with a layer of light yellow dust. The entire space turned into a chaotic and misty mobile fortress, carrying a huge vibration. , swooping towards the unaware Kaman reinforcements.
The Kaman army, which rushed south in panic, did not notice the strange situation until the Western Xinjiang light cavalry approached them three miles away. Within three miles, in just a few breaths, they could already see each other's faceless, overwhelming The rain of arrows started to fly all over the sky when it was only three hundred meters away. The distance of three hundred meters was enough for the cavalry to shoot three arrows and then raise the saber high. The huge inertia was like a hammer hitting the anvil of the Kaman infantry squadron, and the anvil was deeply dented immediately. However, the Kaman people's extremely resilient combat power still withstood it with difficulty. The attack of the Western Xinjiang light cavalry, they finally got the result they wanted with countless blood and bodies. At least they smashed the Western Xinjiang cavalry's attempt to divide them into several pieces, and they were able to do it without any precautions. This is indeed something to be proud of.
After realizing that the separation intention was not successful, the Western Xinjiang cavalry quickly changed their strategy. Some of them put away their sabers, pulled out the bows and arrows from the arrow pots at their waists, and fired rapidly while forming a circular defensive formation. Wave after wave of arrow rain will always bring countless blood rain. This is the most powerful weapon for the nomadic cavalry to use their mobility advantage to kill the enemy infantry. However, the other wave still raises their sabers and keeps looking for opportunities to break through. In this way Forcing the opponent to distract themselves so that the arrow rain can have a greater effect.
This is an extremely asymmetric battle. Every time you adjust the defensive formation, you have to pay a considerable price. However, if you don't adjust the formation, you will always be passively beaten. When the hurried back Kaman light cavalry arrived, the arrogant Xijiang The cavalry had already left them behind and roared away. In addition to sighing in despair, the Kaman cavalry, which was far less powerful than the opponent, could only watch the opponent disappear before their eyes.
In the battle of Wangjiataizi, the Xijiang Army only used two 10,000 cavalry troops. After successfully attacking the grain transport team escorted by Kaman's Eighth Army, they cleverly took advantage of the enemy's eagerness to rescue and carried out an attack outside Yulin City. In a perfect ambush, the 20,000 Kaman infantry not only failed to serve as reinforcements, but also lost more than 5,000 people in vain. Such a tragic loss may not be considered a big deal in a war, but this is when the enemy has not even touched a hair. They encountered such a severe beating when they arrived. This feeling of being beaten without being able to fight back made the Kaman people deeply feel the fierceness of the Western Xinjiang cavalry for the first time.
