Chapter One Hundred and Five Doomed to Fail

When the cowardly Buhua received a report from a light cavalry scout who lured the enemy, saying that the opponent's troops could not bear it. After chasing him, he not only slapped the table. (duk ank,) shouted: "Okay!" The failure to lure the enemy several times in succession has gradually wiped out the Mongolian beauty's Naxin, making him increasingly doubt whether his strategic choice was correct. Is it better to take the initiative to attack. The Mongolian cavalry roamed the continent and was invincible in the world. Do you really need to use this tactic to win?

"We are no longer the same as before. The Mongolian soldiers have obtained the best training in countless battles, and the wealth we plundered and the craftsmen have also obtained excellent equipment. We have a large number of allies, and other nomadic peoples are also willing to be loyal to our Khan and the great Genghis Khan. We have a large number of cannon fodder slaves..." The more we think, the more we feel that it is unnecessary to be cautious in this way.

"If we used similar tactics at the beginning of our conquest history, it was because we were insufficient at the time. Our capital was not abundant. However, now we have occupied a huge territory. There is no country in the whole world that can occupy such a vast territory as the Mongols. Our war potential is increasing, and more and more troops we can mobilize. The lives of the Mongols began to be rich, so they could feed more people. The conquered land could also provide a huge number of troops. We could even easily mobilize millions of troops... No one could be as powerful as us!"

That's it. Under such a proud and heroic mood, the commander of the Mongolian vanguard Army decided to adopt more proactive and bold tactics. He modified the ambush tactics that had been prepared and shortened the distance to lure the enemy. The temptation location was arranged in a larger and wider wasteland.

While Joan of Arc led the Norman army, Eastern Europe recruited troops, and the crusaders willing to return to their country, retreated in the direction of Syria, a small number of arrogant crusaders from various countries also launched their actions.

While cursing Joan of Arc and the Norman Emperor, they urged their troops to advance and chase the Mongolian light cavalry that lured them, hoping to annihilate these people. Some even fantasized about going deep into Persia, conquering this huge pagan country, and even finally establishing a kingdom and ascending the throne.

Driven by the fanatics, most of the crusaders were infantry marching for several consecutive days, chasing the grassland light cavalry riding fast horses and three horses. This was like asking a cripple to chase professional long-distance runners. It was completely illogical. It had no other use except to tired his army as if he was a dead dog.

The Mongolian light cavalry also fully utilized their maneuverability and harassed the Crusaders day and night with excellent and extremely vigorous energy. When they were camping, when they were having their meals, when they were sleeping, when they marched... in the early morning, morning, noon, afternoon, evening and night, in the grasslands, plains, deserts, hills... the Mongolian cavalry carried out tireless attacks.

They rushed out of unexpected places of the Crusaders, howling like wild animals, and with extremely precise archery, they pulled their bows and shot arrows on the flying war horses, bringing down the enemy hundreds of meters away. Then, before the Crusaders reacted and left before the Knights roared and fought back.

"Damn it! Unreasonable pagans without shame!"

At this time, the Crusaders had no other way than roaring. A few smart knights suggested that a group of light cavalry units should be organized to patrol and counter the enemy and serve as scouts. However, there were very few soldiers available to them. In the end, a group of knights gathered their entourages and forced them to take off their chain armor and helmets and throw away their cavalry as light cavalry. In addition, they recruited a small number of local people, some Muslims who did not mind their identity, and some mercenaries of professions - they came from Armenia.

In this way, after a lot of pieces, the knights gathered up nearly 700 so-called "light cavalry". Looking at the entourages who were deprived of armor and spears and were mourning. The knights stood and spoke without a pain in their backs and cheered them up:

"You must be brave! Yes, although you have no armor, you have God's favor! God will definitely bless you!"

After organizing this group of light cavalry, the noble knights felt that they could rest assured - at least, before the Mongols slaughtered half of the mobs. So they thought. The mobs were divided into small groups, patrolling, reconnaissance around the main force, and fighting against the pagan archers when necessary. However, when they really encountered the Mongols, it usually means that their death date was up.

Like a pack of wolves, the erratic Mongolian light cavalry will set up an encirclement before they find themselves. Then, with a sound of arrows, they will rush out from all directions at the same time. They will roar loudly and blow the trumpet to shock people's hearts. The illusion that the opponent is surrounded and the number of themselves is much more than them... Well, it is not necessarily an illusion. The number of Mongolian light cavalry dispatched to lure the enemy is indeed much more than them.

When facing such a situation, most of these mobs lost their fighting spirit. Some were so scared that their faces were pale, while others simply began to escape - however, their movements were not as fast as the Mongols. Before the other party could react, the Mongols had already shot a round of bows and arrows - the Crusaders without armor and armor were immediately injured and suffered heavy casualties. Then, at close range, some Mongols threw javelins with barbs, either threw ropes, preparing to catch some survivors, or as slaves.

In this way, there was no time to react, no time to escape or counterattack, the Crusader Light Cavalry had lost nearly half of it. In the subsequent melee hand-to-hand combat, they were in an even more disadvantageous position.

In close combat, the Mongolians used heavy scimitars and maces to fight. A few cavalry were also equipped with spears. Such mixed troops and inconsistent clothing made the Mongolian army look a little confused. However, they could replace these with their own skillful combat skills. Hunting skills in nomadic life were also skillfully applied by them to replace the collective training of the army.

The Crusader Light Cavalry was defeated. Only a small number of cavalry could escape and report to their masters. The remaining majority of the cavalry were either killed or captured. The Mongolian cavalry won easily, cheered loudly, and began to plunder the spoils, tied up prisoners of war as slaves. The first thing nomads paid attention to was naturally those war horses. Many people excitedly ran towards the war horses riding by the Crusader Light Cavalry, and some took out garbleds and brought back the war horses that were frightened and fled in the previous battle.

However, soon, they were disappointed. The mounts of these knights and entourages were naturally not good horses. Even the level of ordinary war horses could not be reached. The Mongolians complained loudly, saying that such bad horses were only worthy of eating meat. Even eating meat felt stuffed. While yelling, they cursed and whipped the prisoners of war. Then they left like a whirlwind. When the main reinforcements of the Crusaders rushed over, they could only get corpses and garbage in the ground...

After several times, the Crusaders began to be discouraged. Except for the stupidest and most craziest people, most knights felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. They seemed to be fooled by the enemy. This made them feel uncomfortable. Some people wanted to retreat. Others wanted to accelerate. They quarreled with each other, making the situation of the entire Crusaders even more chaotic and the morale of the army further decreased.

The final result of the quarrel. The knights finally reached an understanding, continued to move forward and accelerated their pace. If the situation continued like this, then three days later, they gave up the expedition and turned back to Syria. On the next day, the knights were extremely lucky to capture the action of this Mongolian cavalry! For some reason, the speed of the Mongolian cavalry this time was much lower. It was just the same as the Crusaders, so that these knights would not lose their target.

"Praise the omniscient and omnipotent God! We have found them! rush over and destroy them! God blesses the brave!!" The knights roared excitedly and ran towards the Mongolians. Soon, when they tracked a wasteland, the cowardly Buhua and a large number of Mongolian troops appeared...

He gathered the elite heavy cavalry, those equipped with the captured Persian-style heavy scale armor, or from the rear, heavy armored cavalry made by the Central Plains craftsmen, into dense arrays. Then arranged the light cavalry on both wings and the infantry on the second array.

In this way, the 40,000 elite Mongolian army had an extremely wide and shocking front. A total of nearly 20,000 cavalry - more than 3,000 heavy cavalry, and about 14,000 light cavalry units, formed a huge front that was nearly three kilometers wide. This was very rare in the history of the Mongolian army - it is not to say that in the Mongolian army, the number of troops commanded by the shiro Buhua was extraordinary. In fact, many Mongolian generals had commanded more troops than him.

However, these Mongolian generals had never tried it, allowing so many cavalry to gather together and form an array. They like to use mobile warfare and ambush. They organized elite rangers to harass the enemy, consume the enemy's physical strength and disintegrate the enemy's formation. Then they put in heavy cavalry to assault...

However, no matter how effective the actual combat is.
