Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 890
The attack started with the sound of a copper whistle. The sound of the copper whistle was long and sharp. The horse thieves who were besieging the chariot formation all paid attention to it, and some people rushed out of the simple tent to mount their horses and prepare for battle.

From the direction where the copper whistle sounded, a man pointed a spear at the sky, and slowly rode his horse forward. It didn't look like he was coming to fight, but he seemed to be coming for a military parade. The astonishment of the horse thieves only lasted for a short moment, and then Two rows of cavalry rushed out from behind the man, one left and one right slanted, marching forward in an open inverted triangle formation.

This can also be regarded as a formation with two wings flying together. It is said that these rescue soldiers should move quickly without wasting time, but the newly appeared soldier is leisurely.

It can't be said to be slow, it can only be said to be leisurely. It doesn't look like a prelude to a battle at all, like an equestrian show in a guard of honor or a festival.

The ranks of the horse thieves were a bit chaotic, and all the people who were driving livestock toward the carriage formation returned, but after seeing that the two ranks together amounted to more than [-] people, the situation was stabilized again.

Someone was yelling orders, and the horse thieves quickly assembled, and then rushed directly towards this side, and they even left 100 people guarding the direction of the car formation.

The horses of the cavalry are also very demanding on physical strength. The reinforcements from Guihua City have to run on the road for a few days. The horses must be tired, and it is now the beginning of spring. Caught in a few points, it's even more horsepower-intensive.

Rescue can't be delayed, and I'm sure I'll go into battle shortly after I'm here, and I'm starting to move forward so leisurely, it's very likely that I'm saving my horsepower and preparing to charge before the battle, and I've been doing siege operations in my spare time , The horsepower of the mounts is very abundant.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, break through the queues to rescue the Han people first. Perhaps the people in the car formation will be terrified. The so-called army led by Wang Tong is indeed powerful. As for these Han people, they only rely on firearms and carts. The battle on horseback is naturally the Mongols' first.

The formation of the horse thieves was tight, with more than a dozen armored and spear-bearing cavalry rushing to the front. Such a dense array of sharp impacts against the loose formations on the two wings of the Han people would completely disperse them as soon as they came into contact.

The loose array of rescuers on the opposite side is supposed to gradually level off during the Mercedes-Benz and move forward at the same time, but the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, but the other side is not seen running, and they are always moving forward at such a uniform speed.

Since these rescuers are too big, they are looking for death. The men on the grassland don't know what pity is, and they all howl and speed up their horses.

After rushing into a distance of more than a hundred steps, they heard the sharp copper whistle again. This time, the horses were all reined in, but the cavalry on the horses all took out their firecrackers from the side of their saddles. People draw bows and nock arrows.

In broad daylight, the fire of the matchlock is indeed not so obvious. What are firecrackers? Of course, these horse thieves understand that there are dozens of spears in the chariot formation, which killed many people. With more than 200 strokes, the inverted triangle with two wings taking off is no longer a loose formation, it is obviously a terrible pocket.

After rushing, it is very difficult to stop, and it has already entered the range of the firecracker, even if it is defended, all the way forward, there are still bows and arrows over there.

The horse bandit striker who rushed to the forefront saw the man in the middle press down with his spear, and then the firecrackers roared. They were rushing in a dense manner, but they were flanked by Wang Tong's formation, and their shots were all bullets. It fell to the ground.

There was a sound of screams, people turned on their backs, the firecrackers may have slipped through the net, but the bows and arrows were all aimed at the shots, and they could still shoot the second round.

After this round of shooting, the momentum of the charge was stopped at once, the people behind couldn't hold back, and the people in front desperately tried to escape, another round of crowding and chaos.

The battle sounds complicated, but it is actually a very simple act. It is reasonable to react to the charging horse thief being hit head-on like this.

Next, Wang Tong's reaction was quite satisfactory. They put the firecrackers back into their saddle bags, took out their spears and broadswords, and began to charge towards the chaotic enemies.

Orderly vs. chaotic, armored vs. unarmored, professional warriors trained after all vs. horse thieves who were born herdsmen on the grasslands.

The people on the periphery were assassinated and hacked one by one, and the number advantage they had had turned into a disadvantage. Whether the horse thief had a strong cohesive force, soon they couldn't bear it and began to collapse.

The cavalry on Wang Tong's side was indeed a long-distance attack. Although there was a short rest, they had not recovered yet, but the horse thieves collapsed and turned around to flee, but found in despair that their back was cut off by more than 200 Qingqi. Although there is no formation, the victory lies in the abundant horsepower and faster speed.

This side was already broken up. Seeing that the way of retreat was intercepted, I was panicked and desperate. Although the cavalry who intercepted them were not as orderly as before, they were more brave than before. This time, they suffered heavy casualties. .

With such a double-team front and back, most of the horse thieves had been wiped out, and the few who ran out, although they were scattered in all directions, they all made a big circle and went in the direction of that tribe.

Wang Tong gathered a group of people who were going to pursue him, but they all got off their horses and walked on foot. When they came to the chariot formation, the people in the chariot formation already knew that their own business had sent people to rescue them, and the people inside were all weeping with joy.

The person sent reminded him, and the leader of the caravan inside hurried over to thank Wang Dao. When he arrived, he immediately kowtowed and cried loudly, which was also an expression of his feelings after he escaped from a desperate situation.

"Master Hou is very kind and virtuous. From now on, the little ones will be cattle and horses with guards and buddies. Sixteen of them died. There is no way to treat a few of them. They are so miserable!"

Wang Tong said a few words of comfort, and asked someone to help the shopkeeper leave. The people inside were all in the same condition, but they still remembered to tidy up the camp. Wang Tong said to the leader of the rescue team sent by the firm:
"Hundreds of horse thieves besieged this chariot formation, and it took us so many days to kill or injure more than a dozen of our people. This chariot formation is very good!"

The head of the guard leading the firm was originally from Yulin Town, but his deputy was a veteran from the Huwei Army. Hearing this, the deputy said:
"The big chariot is used as a fortress, and the firearms are far away, and the swords and guns are willing to fight desperately. There is nothing the horse bandits and cavalry can do, but the casualties are so few, because the horse bandits want the big carts and firearms, and they don't want too many casualties."

This evaluation seeks truth from facts and does not belittle the enemy. This is the tradition of the Huwei Army. The man from Yulin Town pondered for a while, and said:
"Master Hou, I would venture to say that these Tartars still want to eat the reinforcements, because this time he brought out more than 600 cavalry, which is really not small."

This guess also has his reasons, Wang Tong nodded, the grassland is a world of the weak and the strong, the caravans from the city of Guihua plundered all the tribes on the grassland as slaves, burned, killed and looted, and the tribes on the grassland also took the people walking on the grassland The caravans are regarded as fat meat, and whoever is strong is the hunter.

Wang Tong didn't bother to care about the cause and effect. He arranged for everyone to rest while walking to the convoy. There were some wounded in the convoy. Although the injuries were not fatal, they were still useless. The raw poison, now needs to be sorted out a bit, incinerated on the grassland, and brought back with the ashes.

Many people took the water bag of the rescue team and drank it. They were obviously extremely thirsty. Being surrounded, it was not so easy to get water and they were lucky enough to lean on the water source.

Seeing Wang Tong approaching, someone reminded them that everyone hurriedly knelt down to salute. Wang Tong stood there and simply said:

"If I'm not mistaken, the tribe that besieged you is the tribe you just did business with, and the tribe's brigade should be nearby."

Wang Tong's words didn't surprise these people too much. Among the horse thieves who besieged them, they could also see familiar faces.

"Stealing our caravan in Guihua City, can it be done like this? Don't you want to take revenge?"

Wang Tong raised his voice to ask, the people below were a little stunned, and then they all raised their voices to agree. After being besieged for a few days, they all thought they were going to die on the grassland. At the hands of the Tartars there will be cruel treatment.

Hearing the loud answer below, Wang Tong smiled, raised his hand and said:
"The Marquis knows that you are tired, but you can't rest. You all got on your horses and followed the Marquis to cleanse the tribe, robbed them of all their belongings, knocked down their men, women and children, and sold them in the city. happy!!"

When the people below were told by Wang Tong, they all agreed abruptly, and Wang Tong said there again:
"Those who dare to rob us, dare to touch Guihua City, we will make their families ruined, and they will be slaves for generations. We will let everyone on the grassland see the fate of offending us!!!!"

Wang Tong's voice became louder and louder, and the kneeling people all stood up, all excited, and howled:

"kill!!!"

There is no suspense about what happened next. Even if the tribe knew the news, it was impossible to run too fast, and the men were killed and injured so badly, and they had no strength to resist. Young men and old men who could fight died fighting, and chiefs and elders committed suicide.

The remaining women and children of the tribe were taken as slaves, and brought back to Huacheng as spoils of war along with livestock and property. No matter whether it was on the side of the car formation or the side of the tribe, all the corpses were not buried. Bloodstains from wounds, flesh and blood from corpses attracted beasts and vultures, the scene was hell-like, and the grassland was shocked.
