The Great Ming Reversal

Chapter 360: Break the Mongolian Iron Horse (Part 2)

Views:

How to deal with the cavalry has always been a problem that haunts the Central Plains dynasty and must be resolved quickly. This is related to the fate of the Central Plains dynasty, and no one dares to despise it. Qin Shihuang used the method of building the Great Wall to keep away from the country. For thousands of years, the Great Wall has been playing its role. It is indeed not easy for a project to bless future generations for thousands of years. In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu Che of the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns by using cavalry against cavalry. During the Three Kingdoms period, Qu Yi used his bows and arrows to defeat Gongsun Zan's prestigious Baima Yicong. By the time of the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei used a hook and sickle spear to smash the Iron Buddha. In the Ming Dynasty, muskets and artillery were used against cavalry. However, with the exception of the cavalry versus the cavalry in the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing sealed the wolf as the Xu, the others were somewhat passive. If people's cavalry can't come to fight, there is really no way. After all, people run fast, and you can't even catch up with their exhaust gas. That's a shame! But now, Wei Ming is going to give up the advantages of the musketeers and artillery, and go up to head-to-head with the Mongolian cavalry. To be honest, not many people are optimistic. What they thought was to cut a hole in the encirclement of the Mongolian cavalry and let Li Zicheng run out, even if the task was completed. Although Wei Ming usually beats and scolds Li Zicheng, it is undeniable that Li Zicheng is indeed the number one general under Wei Ming, who belongs to Wei Ming's confidant. Perhaps only Lu Xiangsheng in Guangdong can be compared with him.

However, Wei Ming has other ideas. The Mongolian army encircled Li Zicheng, but in response, they also lost their mobility. The advantage of cavalry lies in their mobility. Once the cavalry cannot run, it is not as easy to control as the infantry. They chose to encircle Li Zicheng, but they pushed the troops up, the Mongolian army had few choices. Either they retreat, and they will lose thousands of soldiers in vain. And if they don't retreat, they must eliminate Li Zicheng's cavalry as soon as possible, and then turn their heads to focus on their own Musketeers. In this way, they become a group of living targets. And if they choose to separate some people to deal with their own Musketeers, and leave some people to stop Li Zicheng, that's nothing. The white soldiers have fully proved their combat effectiveness in the war. As long as they are there, there is no danger for the Musketeers. The Musketeers are here, then the nightmare of the cavalry is about to begin. And if Li Zicheng's soldiers were left, he would not be able to trap Li Zicheng at all, and he might even be rushed out by Li Zicheng to cut off their retreat, which would be funny then. Therefore, Wei Ming is not optimistic about this battle. The opponent's card was indeed a bit unexpected, but the effect was far from as good as imagined. It can even be said that the Mongols themselves pushed themselves into a dilemma.

As Wei Ming's musketeers advance faster, the Mongolian army, which originally planned to concentrate firepower to eliminate Li Zicheng's cavalry, had to split its forces to deal with the musketeers. If the Musketeers are allowed to take their positions, then no matter how many Mongolian cavalry are, they won't be enough for others to kill. But in the face of tens of thousands of musketeers, the only thing the cavalry can do is to fill it with human lives. Fill enough, close to the Musketeers, the cavalry can have room to play. If they were less, they were defeated before they got close to the Musketeers. The five thousand cavalrymen that Lin Danhan had separated were beaten by the Musketeers before they blistered, and they were crushed. The next five thousand cavalrymen learned well, and ran laps around the Musketeers, trying to harass them and not let them advance. However, this is obviously useless. As long as they were outside the firing range of the musketeers, the musketeers simply ignored them, and the dense formations were still advancing towards the Mongol army. Lin Danhan had no choice but to send more cavalry to stop the musketeers of the Ming army. At this time, no matter how stupid the Mongols were, they could tell that the situation was already extremely unfavorable for themselves. With the turbulence in the military and the reduction in the number of soldiers under siege, Li Zicheng looked at the unfavorable opportunities and broke through. It was too late when Lin Danhan, who found that the situation was not good, wanted to plug the gap. Li Zicheng had already suffered a loss, how could he still make the same mistake, once he escaped and ascended into the sky, he would be like a dragon entering the sea and birds flying into the sky.

When Wei Ming saw Li Zicheng escaped, he let out a long sigh of relief. This kid finally didn't let himself down. Although the cavalry lost more than half, it was much better than the Mongols. Since the start of the war, the Mongolian cavalry has lost almost 20,000 cavalry, only a few. In addition to other losses, the Mongolian cavalry has lost more than half, which can be said to have been wounded, and its combat effectiveness has been drastically reduced. At this time, Lin Danhan also discovered this serious problem. If you don't take any more measures, your army is likely to be wiped out here. The agency was too clever, but in the end it was such a scene that Lin Danhan couldn't accept it. But after all, he has been sweating for many years, and he still has such a little psychological quality. What I have to consider now is how to preserve the vitality and plan for myself next, rather than knowing the so-called consumption here. Thinking of this, Lin Danhan already had the intention to retreat, and ordered the soldiers to charge against Wei Ming's army, while he himself, with thousands of guards, prepared to escape from the chaos. If he was really asked to run away from the thousands of people, it would be really hard to find him. Toward Lin Danhan, if he could leave tens of thousands of troops to escape alone, then he would be able to abandon these thousand people and flee with a few people. Wei Ming can't block the border forever, Lin Danhan will always have the hope of being able to escape. Wei Ming didn't plan to leave a problem for himself. Ever since, when it was discovered that more than 1,000 people had been separated from the Mongolian army and fleeing behind, he immediately gave Li Zicheng an order to chase him. Although Li Zicheng is tired of people and horses, he also knows that it is not time to rest. The Mongolian army is going to end, so let them do it more thoroughly! Enlarging the results is always the favorite thing for soldiers, and Li Zicheng is no exception. Hearing that they were going to chase the enemy chief, the soldiers who had just escaped seemed to be full of energy all of a sudden, screaming and rushing to the rear of the Mongolian army. But now the Mongolian army does not have the command of Lin Danhan, and can only follow Lin Danhan's last order to rush to the Ming Army's guns. The Shield Soldier was in front, the White Soldier was behind, and the Musketeers were tightly surrounded by the middle.

, As long as you keep filling the elixir and shooting, each and every Mongolian cavalry will fall powerlessly. Wei Ming saw all this through the telescope, and finally a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He muttered, "It's over, it's over." Qin Yuxin saw a smile on Wei Ming's face, and he was sincerely defending. Ming is happy. Although this battle was only fought for one day, it did not stop during the period, and the battle situation changed so quickly, which made people feel dizzy. A day's time, for Wei Ming, may be as long as a century. Qin Yuxin walked to Wei Ming's side and grabbed the slightly rough big hand in her palm. Wei Ming turned around and smiled at Qin Yuxin knowingly, everything is silent.

When the sky dimmed completely, the Mongolian cavalry finally couldn't stand it. With the first deserter, then successive deserters will continue to appear. When the formed cavalry fled, the noisy battlefield instantly became quiet. In this boundless wilderness, only soldiers lying on the ground and countless pools of blood, large and small, were left.

In today's battle, even the fire-head army joined in. When it was time to eat in the evening, everyone discovered that there was not even a cook. Wei Ming gave an order, and the army returned to the camp with a tired body. Whether it was his horse or the opponent's horse, they dragged into the camp one after another. Countless cauldrons were set up in the barracks, the horses were peeled, slices of meat were cut off with a knife, and they were thrown into the pot, regardless of whether they were cooked or not, they were thrown into the mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed. Many soldiers lay on the ground and fell asleep without taking two bites. In the silent night, the soldiers' purring sounded extraordinarily loud.
