Chapter 244 Mobei Cavalry Attack
On the Horqin Grassland, a group of the bravest warriors on the grassland got off their horses and dug fortifications with their backs against the crude city.

"Captain, our Mongolian cavalry lives on horseback, why do we have to dismount and become infantry now?" Some knights said dissatisfiedly, carrying shovels.

"Have you forgotten the tactics taught by the Liao army? We are cavalry when we mount our horses, and infantry when we dismount. Now we are building a position." A Horqin cavalry squadron leader also picked up his shovel, "We will do whatever the higher-ups ask us to do. Whatever you do, soldiers take it as their bounden duty to obey orders."

On the small hill, Sun Sheng observed the entire battlefield with a telescope.

This rare high ground was also an artillery position he chose, and six artillery pieces were deployed.

The Liaonan Dragoon Brigade, the Horqin Cavalry Brigade, and most of the knights of the two cavalry brigades dismounted and became infantry.The Horqin Cavalry Brigade has undergone two months of short training, the main content of the training is discipline, muskets and organized charges.Basically use guns.

And the retreated Bahraini tribe also has several thousand combat-capable

"Can infantry really hold back tens of thousands of cavalry?" Zaisang hesitated.The heroic Mongolian cavalry in the past has now become infantry using muskets. Who should I turn to for reasoning.

"The opponent has more people than us. On the contrary, dismounting and becoming infantry can easily take advantage of our firepower." Sun Sheng said, "Horses are only a means to improve our mobility and surprise attacks. No one can break through our infantry formation in frontal combat."

"But this is the first time our warriors have used muskets in actual combat..." Zaisang was still a little unconfident.

"Don't worry, even ordinary civilians can go to the battlefield within a month or two. The soldiers of your tribe have gone through several large-scale meetings at least, and in the line formation, they can withstand greater casualties without collapsing." Sun Sheng said, "Soon, Lin Danhan and the others are coming."

After the Lin Dan Khan and the Mobei Mongolian cavalry that Sun Sheng mentioned plundered the Bahrain tribe on a large scale, they were unable to control the joint forces of these tribes that were busy looting for a while.Some scattered tribes attached to them even fought with women for food, and almost had a firefight among themselves.

"These wastes don't have a long-term vision, and they are arguing over this little food! Urge them to go east, and if you delay, the infantry of the Liao Army will come to reinforce them!" Lin Danhan looked at the chaotic Bahrain tribe, angry and irritable say.

When the 4 cavalry assembled again, the chaotic situation was brought under control, a few hours later than Lin Danhan expected, and then [-] people marched eastward to the Horqin Grassland.Although [-] cavalry is a large force, the cavalry of these different tribes cannot control each other. When they came, nearly [-] troops had assembled on the Horqin grassland.

The follow-up artillery of the Liaonan Dragoon Brigade also arrived on the battlefield and entered the artillery positions prepared by the cavalry for them, reducing the time to build defenses.

"There are artillery and reserve soldiers in the city. If I were the Mobei cavalry, I would never be so stupid as to bypass us and attack the city."

In the binoculars, the figure of Mobei cavalry appeared.Forty thousand cavalry, all over the mountains and plains, all kinds of flags are colorful, covering all the grasslands that can be seen in front of them.

However, the 2 people on Horqin's side are a lot compared to the 4 people in Mobei, and there is a simple city behind it as a granary supply, which makes Sun Sheng feel confident.

"Be prepared to deal with their impact. They are eager to attack quickly. We can destroy them as long as we wait for work." Sun Sheng asked, "Zai Sang, are the artillery of your cavalry brigade ready?"

"It has been deployed, and the artillery team has been handed over to the artillery officer sent by Liaonan alone to command." Zaisang said.

"That's good, let's get ready to fight." After Sun Sheng arranged the deployment, the officers around him went down to each unit and formed several defensive positions with horns.

Call!Lin Danhan reined in the horse rope, and his army was blocked by the Horqin tribe. Just as Sun Sheng saw his arrival, he could also see the Horqin cavalry deployed on the prairie.

But the strange thing is that these Horqin cavalry gave up the proud Mongolian horses, but put the horses in the middle of the camp, dismounted and fought on foot.In the front row of the Liao Army, a trench was dug, and neat rows of soldiers stood with rifles in their hands, like a long human wall.In the middle of the human wall, cold cannons are still exposed at intervals.

Oops, it's late.Lin Danhan frowned when he saw the neat Horqin defense line.

"I led the light cavalry to disturb their camp from the left, Shuo Lei, and you lead the light cavalry to disturb them from the right. The front will be handed over to Lin Danhan and Suban you." Tushetuhan Gunke said.

The old fox!Lin Danhan thought to himself.Their attack pattern is generally to use light cavalry to confuse the enemy, and then heavy cavalry to look for opportunities to break through when the enemy wavers.This means that Lindan Khan's Chahar Department and Zasaktuhan Suban will suffer the most losses as the main attack.

"Our Zasaktu Khan's army is in charge of the rear and supporting you." Suban obviously didn't want to be the main attacker with Lin Dan Khan either.

"Suban, if you don't join forces with Lin Dan Khan, his strength will not be able to break through the infantry position, and we will fail at that time!" Gunke and Shuo Lei said.

"Your uncle, why is Zasaktu Khan the main attacker, but you two Khans only need to be in charge of harassment?" Suban said dissatisfied.

"Enough! No one can escape this battle. If the Liao Army rises in the east, none of you will be able to escape in the future!" Lin Danhan hated that iron is weak.If only he had the prestige of the former Golden Family.Now with a group of tribes who are shirking each other's responsibilities, it's really hard to move.

"Just arrange it like this, I will compensate you for the loss!" Lin Danhan said angrily.

The other three Khans looked at each other and acquiesced to Lin Danhan's arrangement.

The [-] cavalry in Mobei, each with thousands of light cavalry, outflanked the left and right sides with Mongolian bows, and attacked the two wings of the Liao army respectively.

"Want to outflank us? This force is not enough. The artillery is ready to bombard." In the artillery position near the front line, the artillery officer was already on the line.

Seeing a cavalry's signal flag waved, the cavalry rushed obliquely to the right, trying to outflank the right and cut off the right wing from the rear.

"Are you nervous? Haha, it's the first time to face so many cavalry with muskets. Everyone will be nervous, no one is an exception. All we can do is reload and fire, and the rest will be decided by God. "The front rows of line soldiers were densely packed, and they were tightly arranged, unable to take a step back.

Among these line soldiers, most of them were dismounted Horqin cavalry, and there were a few Liaonan Musketeers who joined the Horqin Cavalry Brigade to guide them, guiding the Horqin cavalry for their first line battle.This makes their sense of honor unprecedented.
