Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1693 Fierce battle against Yuan (卌[-])

Gao Funiu, originally surnamed Guo, nicknamed Liulang.A native of Songxian County, Henan Province, his family suffered a disaster when he was young, and he was sent to Shaolin Temple to do odd jobs for three years.There was a drought again, and the income of the temple dropped sharply, so he had to leave the temple to make a living in Xinzheng, where he sold the sixth house of Gaofu. Deputy head of the mine protection team.

In the 14th year of Wanli, at the 17th year, he was transferred to the Beijing Normal University for training. He was selected as a cavalier because of his outstanding performance.Wanli served as platoon leader in 19 years, company commander in 21 years, and battalion commander in 19 years.In the [-]th year of Wanli, he was awarded the nickname "Funiu" for his victory in the military cavalry competition. This is Gao Yushi, named after his birthplace, Funiu Mountain.

Gao Funiu, who was 25 years old at the time, was younger than the patriarch Gao Yushi, and as the annual champion of the cavalry competition, his equestrian, horse fighting, cavalry tactics and other abilities are all outstanding among Jinghua cavalry.The so-called artist is bold, and his performance at this moment perfectly interprets this truth.

With a weak force of 300 men, he not only had to compete with the Mongolian Jingqi who had been killed by about Qianqi, but also dared to say "go and return", naturally not only relying on blood and courage.In fact, in addition to the ferocity brought about by heavy pay, heavy care and strict training orders, the Jinghua cavalry is also equipped with grenades specially prepared for this battle.

Before the war, Gao Yushi, inspired by Budyonny's article, collected and distributed the few grenades that were originally there. Of course, his bodyguard cavaliers would get them.Although the cavalry came out in a hurry and carried very limited grenades, fortunately they were allotted together, and each of the five hundred cavalry received three grenades. If used well, the effectiveness would not be bad.

At this time, Gao Funiu asked to play, and all the secretaries around Gao Wushi persuaded him to agree.The wartime was unusual, and without time to think about it, Gao Wushi waved his hand and approved Gao Funiu's attack.

Gao Funiu yelled "receive the order", and immediately led the selected troops forward slowly, while hurriedly forming an array.

Almost at the same time as Gao Yushi's Chinese army guards took the initiative to prepare for a counterattack, Ye Bangrong, the actual chief general of the Chinese army, sent someone from the front to report that he found that the rear formation was out of touch, and that the Mongolian army might attack from behind and cooperate with the front and back, so he asked for instructions to mobilize The 1000 people serving as the reserve team turned and killed the enemy.

The younger brothers Gao Wuruo and Gao Wuzheng both supported Ye Bangrong's idea, but military secretary Ruan Fuyuan thought there was no need to rush.Although Ruan Fuyuan was in charge of the navy instead of the army as the military secretary, his father was originally an army player, and he didn't understand the army.

At this time, his point of view was that since Gao Funiu had gone up with full confidence, the commander should have the same confidence in him, and all evaluations or new arrangements should wait until after he fought.As for Ye Bangrong's [-] reserve team, you might as well first order them to get close to the Jinglu Dazhu, take over the core defense tasks after Gao Funiu leaves, and make preparations for the response, waiting for the development of the battle.

Gao Yushi chose to adopt Ruan Fuyuan's opinion, and ordered Ye Bangrong to send the 1000 people over to take over the defense first.Ye Bangrong immediately complied, but he himself did not come, but continued to direct nearby before the formation.

In fact, it is very difficult to command in front of the formation at this moment. It is not a question of whether they can fight or not, but that it is generally difficult to make effective adjustments after a cold weapon is engaged in a battle.The heavy infantry with superior defense is a little easier to handle. Relying on a strict military formation, tactical changes such as "fight and retreat" can be achieved, but cavalry is more troublesome.

It is easier to adjust the cavalry to the infantry. After all, if the cavalry wants to withdraw, it is difficult for the infantry to stop it.It is different if you ride against the horse, especially the Ming cavalry is not as fast as the Mongolian cavalry, and retreating means being chased and beaten.

Because of these reasons, Ye Bangrong has been directly deploying troops on the front line, where he is at a disadvantage, he needs to replenish his manpower, and where he has an advantage, he must find a way to break through, etc.Although protecting the strategy is very important, if the front line is well fought and the enemy is directly defeated, the value of the task of protecting the strategy itself will actually be greatly reduced.

Gao Funiu turned back to meet the enemy, Ye Bangrong called back from Woqi [Note: Woqi explained the formation yesterday]. Of course, such a move could not be concealed from Brihatu, who also served in the central army instead of visiting the front line in person.

Brihatu raised his chin slightly, and ordered the left and right: "Hold up the nine white banners, nine times in a row." The left and right immediately carried out.

This action is not particularly eye-catching when it appears in the army formation. Generally, even if the Ming army finds out, they will only think that the opponent is boosting morale and will not pay too much attention.However, this move was agreed in advance between Burihatu and Buyan Huangtaiji, which meant that Burihatu informed the latter that he could act.

Buyan Huang Taiji personally led 3000 people to wander around the outermost periphery of the right wing. It seemed that they were guarding against the "ambush" of the [-] Ming army on the other side of the crater. In fact, apart from this purpose, their other purpose was to perform the most common flank killing of cavalry. .

Brihatu knew that the Ming army was already in disguise, and its ability to fight hand-to-hand was bound to be stronger than that of the Mongolian army. It would be extremely difficult for Li Shimin to achieve Li Shimin's past with the flags and flags if he only hoped for so-called bravery.

Therefore, his initial plan was to use this right-wing cavalry that seemed to guard against the existence of the Ming army in the crater mountain to flank the left wing of the Ming army, and use it as the trump card of this battle.In order to achieve this goal, Brihatu even handed over [-]% of his Baiying personal guards to Buyan Huangtaiji.

There is an obvious problem here, that is, since Buyan Huang Taiji was confronting the "ambush" of the Ming army, once he went to flank the left wing of the Ming army, how could this 5000-strong ambush soldier sit idly by?If this ambush came straight down the hill, wouldn't it cause more confusion?

Of course it will, but there is a time difference here, and there is also a difference in command due to different equipment.

Although the crater here is not high, it takes half a stick of incense to run from the top to the bottom of the mountain, and Buyan Huangtaiji will not be so stupid as to place himself right at the foot of the mountain, so there must be some distance.

This move was also very reasonable in the eyes of the Ming army on the mountain, because no one would expect the enemy to be stupid enough to wait at the foot of the mountain for them to rush down from the mountain and fight head-on, so the Ming army acquiesced to this.In this way, there is a time difference of about one stick of incense between the Ming army on the mountain and Buyan Huangtaiji at the foot of the mountain.

The above is still in the case of Buyan Huangtaiji standing still, what if he moves?This time difference will only widen, not shrink.The reason is very simple. The Mongolian cavalry is faster, while the Ming cavalry is not only slower, but also because they are half-armed, they also have to consider the distance of the target of action-if they run too far at full speed, the horses will be killed after they reach the battlefield. If there is a loss of strength, it will be over.

Therefore, Brihatu had discussed with Buyan Huangtaiji before the battle. Due to the above disadvantages of the Ming army cavalry, they would not dare to go full speed when chasing and entering the battlefield. They would only go full speed one to two miles before entering the battlefield.In this way, under the support of many parties, the Mongolian army can grab about a stick of incense and use it to flank the main force of the Ming army.

In other words, the core of Brihatu's tactics revolves around two words from beginning to end: speed!

The time difference is formed through the speed advantage, and the force difference is formed through the time difference, and then supplemented with tactical advantages such as flanking and outflanking, and finally forms the result of defeating the strong with the weak.

It has to be said that Brihatu has indeed exerted the only remaining advantage of the Mongolian cavalry to the limit.Not only has he reached the peak of "confidant", but he is not bad in terms of "knowing the enemy". At least from the current point of view, the highly pragmatic approach to the challenge is not too unexpected for Burihatu.

In fact, this also confirmed an idea of ​​Buri Hatu before the war: Gao Rixin is good at rough plans but clumsy at the front line.In terms of roughness, he has used various means to nearly collapse Chahar over the years, as if he might suffocate to death at any time;

However, when it comes to getting ready for the battle, he is not enough to see it. The left, middle and right are lined up in three directions and the two wings are leaning forward. This formation is almost a Yuli formation. It cannot be more traditional. Just put 2000 people in the back of the ass, guarding the passage to Lightning Lake.

All in all, in Brihatu's view, Gao Wushi's battle formation is really disgraceful, at best it can be regarded as quite satisfactory, and there is really no bright spot to speak of.

However, Brihatu's nervousness did not ease much because of this. The accumulation of tactical advantages can indeed bring some opportunities for the victory he hoped for, but the battlefield itself has many unexpected variables. How dare you relax until the last moment?
Seeing the dust on the right wing, it must be Buyan Huangtaiji who killed him. Brihatu's attention on this side was temporarily reduced, and he began to retreat quietly, withdrawing from the front line to focus on observing whether the Ming army's defense is facing collapse.

If the Ming army's defense collapses, and Buyan and Huang Taiji attack from the flank, then the overall situation of this battle is basically settled.After all, the main battle was defeated, and even if the Ming army from the ring mountain arrived, they should not have the confidence to turn the tide. At most, they could think about whether Gao Rixin could be rescued.

This credit was a godsend to the chief generals of the two Ming armies, perhaps even greater than the credit for the perfect ambush.With this kind of credit beckoning, if you want to save the defeat, it is only reasonable to rescue Mr. Jingtai as soon as possible.

However, although Brihatu's ideas are reasonable and full, the reality is cruel and skinny.When he had just set his sights on the rear of the Ming army, there was a tragic scene in the monocular that he got from nowhere, which made him dumbfounded.

A Ming army with a book and sword flag [Note: Cavaliers usually don’t wear armor because they avoid suspicion, and temporarily change to Ming army uniforms on the battlefield, so it looks like a Ming army from a distance, only the flag is different. ] Although there were not many people, they rushed towards the outflanking Mongolian army very bravely.

Of course, rushing over was not the reason why Burihatu was dumbfounded. What made him dumbfounded was that the Ming army dared to split into two groups suddenly, as if they wanted to surround 300 people with 1000 people.Then, a tragic scene appeared.

The cavalrymen of the Ming army took out some small short sticks with thick tops and thin bottoms from nowhere, made a sudden pulling motion with both hands, and threw them towards the Mongolian army forcefully, looking like a country hooligan picking up stones and beating people In general, Brihatu was baffled.

But immediately after that, a series of explosions occurred in the Mongolian army. The power of the explosions was quite large, like the sky fire falling under the feet.After only one round of splitting up and dropping bombs, the unprepared Mongolian army suffered heavy losses. What's worse, the lineup was in chaos, and the newly formed conical formation tended to disintegrate in an instant.

"Palm Thunder?" Brihatu reacted very quickly. After all, this thing was also used by the Ming army before, but Burihatu's expression soon became even more horrified: "When did Palm Thunder have such a threat?" Sha?"

Just as his fiery heart turned cold as if it had been poured with a basin of cold water, the Ming army over there did not quit as soon as it was good, but came again with reluctance.

Hundreds of explosions completely overwhelmed the unarmored Mongolian army.Regardless of the formation or the purpose, they were all thrown aside.Many people were at a loss, not knowing whether to continue to attack the rear of the enemy, stop to rescue the wounded, or simply run away.

However, the Ming army obviously didn't care what they were thinking. The two groups of cavalry who were obviously less than the Mongolian army actually launched a fierce attack on their opponents directly with the idea of ​​outflanking. The chaotic Mongolian army harvested it like wheat.

What made Brihatu's heart bleed even more was that this group of Ming soldiers, relying on their complete armor, perfectly reproduced Qia Taiji's riding sword technique, holding the sword in the backhand and holding it horizontally, with the back of the sword resting on the elbow, Rely on horsepower to cut across the enemy.

It would be silly if this kind of sword technique is performed by one person, but if it is performed by forming an army, it is like plowing the ground.The enemy soldiers in the formation will only find that the place where they are fighting all the way in front of them is full of blades, and they can't escape no matter where they run-unless they abandon their horses.But abandoning the horse is also a death, because once the horse is abandoned, there is a high probability that it will be hit and trampled to death by the opponent's rushing horses.

The thousand Mongolian troops who were still aggressive just now, hoping to defeat the main formation of the Ming army in one fell swoop, collapsed directly in a very short time, and were killed by the Ming army holding the book and sword flag in front of them. No man's land.

Brihatu's hands and feet were cold, his eyes were about to split, he gritted his teeth and said, "What a palm thunder, what a Gao Rixin...is this your trump card?"

He took a deep breath, turned his head suddenly, and stopped looking at the elite Mongolian army that had been expected to be destroyed at this moment, but turned his eyes to the right wing, hoping that Buyan Huangtaiji's speed would be fast enough.He has [-] riders, including nearly [-] of the most elite white tassel guards. As long as he arrives in time, the victory of this battle is still within his grasp.

Brihatu didn't believe that Gao Yushi had a large number of powerful palm mines just now, because if he had them, why didn't they use them before, and only allocated them to his personal guards?
But at this time, more than one army was approaching the main battlefield at full speed outside the battlefield. When Brihatu was staring at Buyan Huangtaiji who was coming from the right wing, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Government is not good, the left wing has A large group of cavalry is approaching!"

Brihatu was taken aback, and quickly turned his head to look.Relying on the power of the binoculars in his hand, he quickly discovered that it was indeed a cavalry of the Ming army, and he was quite familiar with this cavalry, because there were six big characters written on the banner at the beginning like a silver hook painted on iron. — Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Li!
