Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 823
There was a commotion in Chataiji's army formation, especially near the location of Chataiji, the horses neighed, and some of the horses even began to scratch their hooves.

Ma Gui suddenly became nervous, holding the handle of the knife with his left hand, slightly turned his body to Gao Yushi's side, and lowered his voice, "Young servant, someone is ready to fight."

"Huh?" Gao Pragmatic's equestrian skills are pretty good now, but the battlefield sensitivity is obviously far inferior to that of Ma Gui, a veteran warrior, especially for the cavalry, which is the weakest of the weak points. Hearing this, he was stunned and asked Said: "How can I see it?"

While staring at the front, Ma Gui explained: "Qataiji is surrounded by his trusted generals, and the horses under his crotch are the best. They can sense the master's fighting intentions from the subtle movements of the master. , look... some of those war horses are neighing, some are scratching their hooves. If this kind of action appears on ordinary horses, it may be nervous and fearful, but for these high-class war horses that have been in battle for a long time, it shows They're excited and ready to charge."

Gao Wushi suddenly realized, and he said that professional things must be analyzed by professionals. At most, laymen and experts can only start with strategy. When it comes to tactics, it must be unreliable. It seems that bringing Magui this time, this time Step chess is really right.However, if Cao Gan hadn't been ordered by me to meet Bahan Naji in advance, he should have been able to see it, right?

Seeing that Gao Wushi didn't reply, Ma Gui thought he didn't believe him, and hurriedly said: "Servant, Tuotuo's strength is not limited to personal martial arts, his cavalry is superb, since they have already developed a fighting spirit, we'd better Hurry up and get ready..." Tuotuo, that is Chataiji.

"Can we beat them?" Gao Wushi asked, "I mean, can our [-] cavalry beat the [-] Mongolian cavalry under Chataiji?"

"This...it may be a bit difficult to win, but unless Tuotuo loses his strength and ignores it, he will never force us to fight to the end." Ma Gui paused, and then said: "Even if he is really crazy In the end, the general will risk his life and send the servant back to the pass."

That is to say, I'm afraid I still can't fight, but it's not easy for the opponent to eat me.

Gao Wushi squinted his eyes for a while, then shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them."

"Servant!" Ma Gui said anxiously, "Even if the servant is not afraid, we have to be prepared."

This is very reasonable, and it has always been a highly pragmatic habit to be prepared.

But this time Gao Wushi refused, and said affirmatively: "They may rush forward, but, Ma Gui!" His tone suddenly became severe, and he called out in a tone like calling for soldiers.

"The last general is here!" Although Ma Gui was nervous, his subconscious reaction immediately made him surrender.

"You go and give the order, no matter whether the opponent is directly in front of you or not, before the battle, our cavalry must keep calm and not move - you go and let the cavalry of the officer go to the forefront. The soldiers turn to the middle Army, the Beijing battalion continues to press the formation."

With this order, Ma Gui understood the meaning of Gao Yushi. Gao Yushi was betting that the other party would not dare to make a real move, but at the same time, he still made some preparations to transfer the Dabing to the Chinese army, which means that if the situation goes wrong, Ma Jiada's soldiers covered him and left.

In Ma Gui's view, "going" is not shameful, what is afraid of is that Gao Wushi refuses to leave, and loses the emperor's edict and guard of honor in the end. That plot is much more serious than defeat.

A simple analogy is like a foreigner stepping on your national flag in front of you. This nature is not comparable to ordinary humiliation.

So Ma Gui immediately gave the order according to the high-practical requirements, and soon after he began to admire the high-practical "unpredictable prophet", because his side had just completed the formation change, and the other side also understood, and indeed they dispatched about two or three hundred at once. Riding, straightforwardly began to charge forward.

This group of people may be the personal guards of Chataiji's Chinese army. They didn't even do a run-up for the horses, and almost started to charge directly.

The horseshoes burst and the dust flew up.

Although there were only two or three hundred riders, under the personal leadership of Chataiji, he rushed out of the momentum of thousands of troops!

"Hold the knife!" Ma Gui roared angrily.

Gao Jiading, who had been converted to the former army, immediately drew his waist knife, but because there was no other order, everyone automatically executed the previous "do not move" command.

From a military point of view, the performance of both sides is abnormal now.

The Qiataiji side launched without any reason, without any pre-work, and directly started charging. This is an act that may hurt the horse, and the Mongols usually know how to avoid it.

The high-pragmatic side turned a blind eye, and did not have any further reaction other than ordering the former army to draw their swords in their hands. If it was really facing the enemy, it would be equivalent to selling the former army.

Cavalry hedging is not the main combat method of the Eastern cavalry. The cavalry on the hedging side maintains a queue like infantry for the opponent to charge. .

So... this is not war!

Five hundred steps.

Four hundred steps.

Three hundred steps.

Seeing that the opponent's cavalry had only drawn their swords up to now and had no intention of fighting, Chataiji couldn't help cheering for his opponent, and thought to himself: This person either doesn't understand cavalry at all, or he must be the number one enemy in my life!

After two hundred steps, the front row of the Gao family's cavalry had some unconscious fluctuations, but it was not their initiative, but the spontaneous behavior of the horses under their crotches. They felt the danger and began to feel uneasy.

One hundred steps!

"Stop!" Chataiji yelled, and began to stop the horse.

A group of two or three hundred riders rushed forward another fifty steps due to inertia, and finally stopped.

Chataiji's face was as heavy as water, and he quickly dismounted from his horse, and his movements were no slower than 12 years ago.

The Gao family riders two rows in front of the head saw sweat on their foreheads, and couldn't help swallowing quietly at this moment, staring fixedly at Chataiji who came forward.

Behind Chataiji, the two or three hundred knights had also dismounted, but none of them stepped forward, but it was seen that Chataiji walked towards the five thousand Ming army alone.

"Commander Dong Shengwei, take off the matter, please see the imperial envoy!"

Gao Jiading finally felt relieved and took the initiative to leave the road for Chataiji to come forward.Ma Gui shouted loudly from behind: "There is an order, and the command of Dong Shengwei will be sent to see the angel in Tuotuo!"

The emperor's ceremonial guards are lined up, and someone behind Gao Yushi has a high-ranking imperial edict to show Gao Yushi's status as an imperial envoy-the "imperial envoys" of all dynasties have their power symbols, such as the "holding festival" of the imperial envoys in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the "Jiejie" of the imperial envoys in the Ming Dynasty. According to the imperial edict".

Gao Wushi himself sat up straight and didn't move, looking at Chataiji who was walking towards him with a calm expression.

Chataiji is a "Zhebie sharpshooter", and he has seen Gao Yushi clearly from a long distance.

As a top general, he only needs to glance at him to see that the imperial envoy Gao Yushi is definitely a civil servant. Although he is young and looks in good health, he must have never practiced martial arts.

However, no matter how high the status of civil servants in Daming was, it was no different in Chataiji's place. What really surprised Chataiji was his pragmatic expression.

His gaze was as calm as water, without any fluctuation.

Chataiji knew that the momentum created by his side just now was enough to confuse the real one. Even the handsome young man from the Ma family next to Gao Yushi looked nervous, and he still held the handle of the knife with his left hand.

However, Gao Yushi, a civil servant and imperial envoy, was not affected in the slightest, as if he had been blind or deaf just now, and there was no trace of shock, fear, or even... a hint of sarcasm in his expression.

If it weren't for the general situation, Chataiji really wanted to make a sudden attack and arrest the young imperial envoy to see if he could still be so calm.

But now, this is impossible.

Chataiji took a deep breath, stood ten steps in front of Gao Yushi's horse, then bowed down, and said calmly and forcefully: "Chen Dong Shengwei has commanded you to complete the matter, and I respectfully invite Shengan. Long live the emperor, long live, long live .”

Gao Pragmatic's voice was neither loud nor small, nor as deep and powerful as Chataiji's voice, but just as calm as a deep pool of water, with no waves in the ancient well: "Sheng Gong'an. Get rid of the matter, please get up."

", Mongolian is hiya, or xiy-a, which means "Dayuan guard", and the word "Qia" has been hereditary by the descendants of Chataiji, and it has this word in the name, so some scholars in the academic circles believe that it is A hereditary status.
