Chapter 289 Desperate(2/2)
When the soldiers present heard this, they all exclaimed "Holy shit!"
Can you still play like this?
I was originally thinking about how to project gunpowder into the enemy camp, but now it would be better to sacrifice a horse to ignite the gunpowder and use the horse as a mobile bomb?
"Ahem!"
Cao Shun coughed and asked, "If you can just use horses, why do you need people?"
Sun Shangqi said: "The enemy camp is six or seven miles away from here and ten miles away. How can we force the horses into the enemy camp? If there are no soldiers and horses to cooperate, the horses may be shot in the middle."
Only then did Cao Shun realize that the biggest problem with this tactic was whether the horses could rush into the enemy camp. If the riders were not on top, just stabbing the horse's butt with a sword to make the horse run around. The Tatars saw this kind of horse
Rush over and shoot you into a hedgehog from a short distance? The method of moving explosives won't work.
After hearing this, Ma Yi was very excited and said: "It's feasible! Look at it!"
Originally, Ma Yi was about to retreat when he heard that he was going to rush into the enemy camp and weave explosive packets. But now he knew that he was just going to coordinate the horses to rush into the enemy camp, and he immediately became energetic.
This tactic is practical. At least personal safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent, so it doesn't matter whether you become a death squad or not.
Anyway, no matter whether the five hundred riders who rushed down can come back, with his character Ma Yi will definitely find an opportunity to sneak back.
This was also the "advantage" of the Ming Dynasty's frontier generals. Before the battle, everyone shouted Wang Weining's slogans loudly, and once the battle started, everyone was drunk.
"There is still more than an hour before dawn. Let the soldiers rest first."
"Tomorrow morning, we will have a bloody battle with Di Yi!"
"Got the order!"
…
…
The sky is dark and bright.
Wang Shouren was still awake. He was condescending and used his binoculars to explore the enemy camp. He remained silent for a long time.
Sun Shangqi asked: "Commander Ma has ordered all the people and horses, and even the gunpowder has been tied up. Do you want to set off now?"
"No, the wind direction has changed."
Wang Shouren put down the telescope and said.
Cao Shun listened and frowned: "We are going to blow up the camp. What does the wind direction have to do with it? How can there be wind today?"
Wang Shouren said: "Retreat and wait for the enemy to invade!"
"Got the order!"
Sun Shangqi and others went to make arrangements immediately.
"Why is this?"
Cao Shun couldn't understand it at all.
You, Wang Boan, said last night that you would send horses to carry explosives to blow up the enemy camp. You excited our family for a long time, thinking that you had found a way to defeat the enemy. But you changed your mind early this morning?
How about playing?
…
…
The battle formation immediately shrank, and the Tatar troops also rushed in. It seemed that they could no longer bear to fight towards Tushan.
Ma Yi was waiting for the order to dispatch troops. At this time, he returned to the position and asked Wang Shouren, who was riding a horse in armor and holding Wang Weining's sword to boost morale: "Major General Wang, what are you doing?"
Wang Shouren said: "The direction of the wind has changed."
"What is the direction of the wind?"
Even Ma Yi didn't fully side with Wang Shouren this time.
You were the one who said they were attacking. Now that you see the enemy showing signs of attacking, are you going to retreat and defend?
This place needs to be defended, but I'm afraid it won't be possible, right?
It is said that there is no way behind, but the Tatars did not encircle on three sides, but only attacked from one side. The Ming army still had two directions to escape from the north and the south. There was no last-ditch or desperate situation at all. So stubbornly defending... Are you treating the Ming soldiers?
What misunderstanding is there about the desperate determination?
Wang Shouren loudly said to the soldiers present: "The Hulu have rushed to invade. It must be that our reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty are close at hand. They want to fight to the death. This is the best opportunity for us to make achievements."
"The time, place, and people are favorable, and everyone is on our side, the Ming Dynasty. This battle will be won!"
Cao Shun and others were stunned when they heard this.
You, Wang Shouren, can just comfort yourself, but if you do this now...are you bullying the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty for being stupid?
No matter how you look at it, the Tatars are afraid of long nights and nightmares, so they directly lead their troops to fight. You forcefully explain that this is the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty, and they have to rush to fight. If this is the case, then why don't they attack at night and insist on waiting until dawn?
Invasion with great fanfare?
"Prepare for war!"
Wang Shouren doesn't talk so much nonsense.
I tell you to fight as you please, why are you nagging me?
But his military orders seemed to be unable to be carried out.
If we say that everyone in Weininghai rushes together to grab the credit, or that they have to fight, but now the options for the soldiers are still fighting and breaking through. Obviously the grassland tribes also know that it is a bit difficult to eat all this group of people, so they all
It left a way to escape, if he had to fight to the death like this...
Wang Shouren ordered: "The tactics of the front army remain unchanged. When the enemy's vanguard is three miles away from our position, rush forward with fast horses, and tie gunpowder to the horses to ignite them..."
When Ma Yi heard this, she let go of her prejudice a little.
Ma Yi looked at Cao Shun first. After many days of continuous fighting, these soldiers no longer completely sided with Wang Shouren. It was also they who began to have their own opinions and wanted to take back some of their achievements. This involved
to matters of life and death.
Looking at Cao Shun, that means... Ma Yi also has plans to retreat.
Leave all the people and animals of the Tatars behind. Do the Tatars still have the heart to pursue us when they take in the men, women, and children of their own tribe?
Perhaps the heads that were beheaded before can be brought back to the border of the Ming Dynasty.
"war!"
This time, Sun Shangqi and other members of the Beijing camp firmly sided with Wang Shouren.
Even Liu Gui was riding on his horse and raised his embroidered spring knife.
It can be regarded that what Wang Shouren said to Sun Shangqi and Liu Gui last night had an effect. At this time, they are needed to supervise the battle team and the people from the artillery battalion to boost Wang Shouren's morale.
If you dare not fight, first ask the supervising team if they agree. If there is a mutiny, no one will necessarily suffer!
In particular, our war team was sent by Zhang Zhou, the commander-in-chief of Xuanda. If you dare to disobey the order, then you will return to the border, and you will not get any military merit, and you will have to bear the punishment of disobeying military orders!
"war!"
Guan Jing and others raised their sabers.
In the end, Ma Yi and others had to agree.
…
…
The war finally started again.
This time it was the Mengoljin tribe who took the initiative to attack, and Ma Yi led 500 cavalry to stop it... There were four to five thousand men and horses who came up to charge, and it seemed that they were going to knock down the mountain top in one go.
Five hundred cavalrymen, in the eyes of the other party, are just a fraction of their own side.
Even if the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses rushed down from the hillside, they would not have the slightest advantage.
Wang Shouren watched the cavalry formations from both sides gradually approaching, and kept his hand on the hilt of his sword. He was carrying an aura that made Cao Shun on the side feel that this major general was serious.
Cao Shun went over and asked: "Master Wang, are you saying... Zhang Zhitai really led the army?"
"Yes." Wang Shouren answered simply.
"Why?" Cao Shun asked.
Wang Shouren pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said: "Otherwise, the Hulu could have waited for a day or two until our three soldiers were exhausted and exhausted, instead of going out in full force like this. The men, women, and children of their tribe are still in our hands and can be slaughtered at any time.
. There is only one explanation for this. They are more eager to fight than we are. If we don’t fight today, we may never have another chance. This is a desperate move!"
"The Ming Dynasty's reinforcements may not even be fifty miles away from here. If they cannot win on the battlefield before noon, they will definitely retreat!"
Just talking.
Ma Yi led five hundred cavalry in the front line and released the five hundred horses they brought at the same time. At the same time, their offensive momentum slowed down.
Five hundred horses quickly charged towards the enemy's position like wild horses.
It was originally five thousand versus five hundred, but now it's five thousand prairie tribesmen cavalry versus five hundred horses.
Obviously, the cavalry of Mengoljin's tribe had never seen such tactics in their lives, and they were not aware of the danger, or in other words...the momentum of their charge could no longer be stopped midway...
