The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

"Are you sure it's Song Manzi's central army tent? The turtle who has been huddled in the rear army actually has the courage to come so forward?" Outside Guyuan City, Zhawotai was in the commander's tent, drinking wine and eating meat over a bonfire. , while listening to his subordinates' reports on military information.

When he heard that Song Yingkui's tent was less than sixty miles away from him, he couldn't help but get excited. This seems to be a long-awaited fighter plane?

Since the beginning of the war, the Mimeng people have never taken advantage. After fighting for so many days, they not only lost tens of thousands of servants, but also suffered many casualties in the core combat force of the headquarters. If we don't think of a way to make money, we will lose a lot in this battle.

"It is certain that it is Song Manzi's central army tent! All the Yungu barbarians have concentrated their military sentiments on him, and they are advancing and retreating around him. He is the only Yungu barbarian who can have such a situation." The subordinate who reported the military situation gave Zhawotai a very definite answer.

"How many soldiers can Manzi Song have gathered around him?" Zhawotai was so sure of the information that he didn't even care about the food and wine in his hands, so he quickly stood up and asked.

"There are only two or three thousand soldiers and horses in front of him, and most of the soldiers and horses at his side who can support him in a short time are the remnants of the Xiang people. The closest troops and horses in his headquarters are twenty or thirty miles away from the Chinese army's tent, and they are all small groups. Skirmishers.”

"Okay! Changshengtian finally gave us an opportunity. He sent an order overnight, ordering our troops to rush to Song Manzi's Chinese army tent at dawn tomorrow, and follow this Khan to attack Song Manzi's Chinese army. There are several battles in this battle. We will advance without retreating. We will never stop our troops until we capture the Song Barbarians. Tell the generals that as long as we win this time, our troops will enter Yungu and we will not seal our swords within twenty days!"

Song Manzi only had two or three thousand troops at his side, but he was able to gather nearly [-] main troops to attack overnight. If this battle was not fought, he would be sorry for Changshengtian.

Having made up his mind, Zhawotai was dispatching his troops while reorganizing his own soldiers. This was a decisive battle between king and king, and Zhawotai himself had to go into battle.

……

"Commander-in-Chief, the military situation has changed. In the second half of the night, the Mi Meng people sent out patrols frequently. They are likely to come to our tent!" In the middle of the night, Song Yingkui finally fell asleep in the military tent, but he still Was woken up by the captain of the soldiers.

After giving himself two slaps on the face, Song Yingkui activated his brain. Hurry to the conference table in the big tent to learn about the military situation.

"There are four main battalions within thirty miles of us, and thirteen battalions can be contacted within sixty miles of us. Even if the Mimeng's main force all pounces on us, they will not have the strength to eat us. There are What's there to worry about? I'm worried that they will retreat too fast and we won't be able to eat meat. In addition to strengthening the fortress, other arrangements will be made after the enemy troops arrive."

Seeing that everyone around him seemed a little nervous, Song Yingkui expressed his thoughts in a nonchalant tone.

He has nearly two thousand men and horses around him, and they are all well-equipped elites with excellent quality. The Mimeng people have extraordinary abilities, and they are not able to overwhelm their Chinese army in a short period of time! That’s how confident you are!
  There is no way, where can I put my strength here? Among the janissaries, one battalion is equipped with the latest rifled guns that have been successfully trial-produced, and all members of a brigade are equipped with new revolvers that are to be distributed to officers at all levels.

With these two powerful weapons that can hit accurately and quickly, how can the Mimen rely on to attack their own positions? Do you rely on Tian Ling Gai?
  In winter, the coldest time is early morning. As soon as the sky breaks out, a large number of Mimong troops appear outside the Yungu Army's military camp, densely packed like ants surrounding food.

Gunfire sounded, and the battle began. The Mongol people came from all directions like a tide.

……

Zhawotai patted the dust on his body with a solemn expression. It was nearly noon, and we didn't even get close to the opponent's Chinese army camp. There were [-] casualties on our side. The development of the war was completely different from what was expected.

In fact, more than an hour after the battle started, Zhawotai realized that the large tent of the sudden attack on the Chinese army would probably not be realized. He was ready to adjust his tactics and turn the sudden attack into a reinforcement. As a result, the Yungu Army supporting the Zhongjun Ten was different from what they imagined. They did not rush to the savior in a hurry, but entered the battlefield in an orderly manner. A small team of several hundred people was quickly approaching each other. Currently, two people have appeared. The thousand-man team is moving towards the Chinese army, and several thousand-man teams are gathering later.

It was only then that Zhawotai realized the most terrifying thing about the Yungu army's combat power, that is, no matter how large or small the troops were, they were quite orderly on the battlefield. There is no way on my side to quickly penetrate and defeat one of the main troops of Yungu Army. Whenever you encounter them, it's a hard fight.

Of course, Yungu's army also has soldiers and horses that are easy to deal with. If Xiang Ren surrenders his troops, it will be easy to fight.

But it doesn't make much sense to defeat the Xiang people and surrender their troops. If you defeat them, as long as they meet the main force of the Yungu Army again on the way to escape, they can quickly assemble and join the battlefield again. As long as there is the Yungu Army behind them, the Xiang Renjiang troops will burst out with amazing combat power. If they continue to fight to the death at this time, the war will become a war of attrition. Not worth it.

It is precisely because of the unprecedented intimidation power of the main force of the Yungu Army that the servant soldiers of our own who were originally very useful have become very difficult to use. There are many soldiers who defected and rebelled before the formation.

The loyalty of the servant soldiers depends entirely on how much fear they have in their hearts. The sword is not as powerful as the gun, and the surrendered soldiers are not fools. There is no way to dodge the gun and they will die if they are hit. When encountering the knife, at least there is a chance to fight. . After rebelling against each other a few times, everyone will realize that the Mi Meng people are just like that. When facing each other with swords and guns, the one who survives may not be you.

"Blow the trumpet, and Ben Khan will lead the troops to charge into the battle in person! There is no way to retreat in this battle." Normal tactics did not work, so Zhawotai had no choice but to use his last resort to charge into Song Yingkui's tent himself. As long as Song Yingkui's tent is broken open, the battle situation will be reversed. Otherwise, the Mi Meng army will always be in a disadvantageous situation, and the whole situation will be lost in the end.

The guards at Zhawotai were also the best among the best. As soon as the marching horn sounded, more than [-] soldiers and horses rushed over like a sharp arrow.

Facing the Yungu Army's artillery blockage, they fought one after another. After sacrificing a small portion of their troops, they finally reached the forefront of the Yungu Army's position. The two armies were able to achieve close combat.

"Let the pistol team go up! Block the opening opened by the enemy. At the same time, hit the enemy's rear with artillery to make their backup powerless." Seeing that the Mimeng people were sending out their elite troops to break away from their positions, Song Yingkui quickly gave the order and remained silent. The moving revolver brigade took action.

what happened? How could the enemy's muskets be so dense? The three to four hundred cavalrymen rushing at the front seemed to have hit a wall of fire, and almost all of them fell down. When he saw that there were not many standing guards in front of him, Zhawotai instantly felt cold.

As a lifelong hero, his reaction should not be underestimated. He turned the horse's head and immediately turned around and retreated to his side.

At this moment, a bullet hit Zawotai's horse like it had an eye, and Zawotai carried his men and horses in front of the formation.

The captain of the soldiers behind him was also a figure. Seeing that his own Khan was about to be trampled to a pulp by his own war horses, he rode his horse to catch up, lifted his own Khan back on the horse with one hand, and retreated behind him without looking back.

The tide receded just as quickly as it came, and in the blink of an eye, the Mi Meng army that rushed forward crazily retreated in a swarm of smoke and dust!

One day later, the forward troops of the Yungu Army arrived at Guyuan City, and all the Mi Meng army retreated towards Yinzhou!
