Chapter 361 Breaking through the Mongolian Cavalry

How to deal with the cavalry has always been a problem that must be solved quickly on the head of the Central Plains Dynasty.This is related to the fate of the Central Plains Dynasty, and no one dares to underestimate it.Qin Shihuang used the method of building the Great Wall to occupy the enemy outside the country.For thousands of years, the Great Wall has been playing its role.It is really not easy for a project to protect future generations for thousands of years.In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che defeated the Xiongnu with cavalry against cavalry.During the Three Kingdoms period, Qu Yi used his first bow and arrow to defeat Gongsun Zan's famous Baima Yicong.In the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei smashed the iron pagoda with a hook and sickle spear.In the Ming Dynasty, muskets and artillery were used to deal with cavalry.However, except for the cavalry against cavalry in the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing sealed the wolf as a xu, others were somewhat passive.If other people's cavalry can't come to fight, there is really not much to do.After all, if they run so fast, you can't even catch up with their exhaust, so what a shame!But now, Wei Ming wanted to give up the advantages of musketeers and artillerymen, and went up to confront the Mongolian cavalry. To be honest, not many people were optimistic about it.What they wanted was to cut a hole in the encirclement circle of the Mongolian cavalry and let Li Zicheng run out, and the task would be considered complete.Although Wei Ming often beat and scolded Li Zicheng, it was undeniable that Li Zicheng was indeed Wei Ming's number one general, and he belonged to Wei Ming's confidants.Perhaps only Lu Xiangsheng in distant Guangdong can be compared with him.

However, Wei Ming had other ideas.It is true that the Mongolian army surrounded Li Zicheng, but in response, they also lost their mobility.The advantage of the cavalry lies in their mobility. Once the cavalry cannot run, it is not as easy to control as the infantry.They chose to encircle Li Zicheng, and pressed the troops up by themselves. The Mongolian army didn't have many choices.Either retreat, then they will lose thousands of soldiers in vain.And if they don't retreat, they should eliminate Li Zicheng's cavalry as soon as possible, and then turn their heads to focus on dealing with their musketeers.In this way, they become a group of living targets.And if they choose to send some people to deal with their Musketeers and leave some people to stop Li Zicheng, that's fine.The white pole soldiers have fully proved their combat effectiveness in the war.As long as they are there, the Musketeers will be in no danger.If the musketeers are here, then the nightmare of the cavalry is about to begin.And if there are few soldiers left for Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng will not be trapped at all, and Li Zicheng may even rush out to cut off their retreat, which will be ridiculous at that time.Therefore, Wei Ming is not optimistic about this battle.The opponent's card was indeed a bit unexpected, but the effect was far from as good as expected.It can even be said that the Mongols themselves pushed themselves into a dilemma.

As Wei Ming's Musketeers advanced faster, the Mongolian army, which originally planned to concentrate its firepower to destroy Li Zicheng's cavalry, had to allocate troops to deal with the Musketeers.If the musketeers were allowed to put up a good posture, no matter how many Mongolian cavalrymen they had, they would not be enough to kill them.But in the face of tens of thousands of Musketeers, the only thing the cavalry can do is to fill them with their lives.Fill enough, close to the musketeers, the cavalry can have room to play.If it is less, the musketeers will be knocked down before they even get close to them.The [-] cavalry sent by Lin Danhan were smashed by the musketeers before they even had a blister, and they were defeated.The next [-] cavalry learned how to behave, and ran around the Musketeers, trying to harass them and prevent them from advancing.However, this is obviously useless.As long as they drifted outside the shooting range of the musketeers, the musketeers simply ignored them, and continued to advance towards the large troops of the Mongolian army in a dense formation.Lin Danhan had no choice but to send more cavalry to stop the musketeers of the Ming army.At this time, no matter how stupid the Mongols are, they can see that the situation is extremely unfavorable to their side.The morale of the army was shaken, and the number of soldiers besieged decreased. Li Zicheng saw the unfavorable opportunity and broke out.It was too late when Lin Danhan, who found out that the situation was not good, wanted to plug the gap.Li Zicheng had suffered a loss once, how could he still make the same mistake, once he escaped and ascended to heaven, he was like a dragon entering the sea and a bird soaring into the sky.

Seeing Li Zicheng escaped, Wei Ming breathed a sigh of relief.This kid finally didn't let himself down.Although more than half of the cavalry was lost, they were much better than the Mongols.Since the start of the war, the Mongolian cavalry has lost almost 1000 cavalry, not much less.In addition to other losses, more than half of the Mongolian cavalry has been lost. It can be said that they are bruised and their combat effectiveness has dropped sharply.At this time, Lin Danhan also discovered this serious problem.If you don't take measures, your own army is likely to be wiped out here.The agency was too smart to calculate, but in the end it was such a situation that Lin Danhan couldn't accept it.But after all, he has been sweating for many years, so he still has such a little psychological quality.What needs to be considered now is how to preserve the vitality and plan for the future, instead of ignoring the so-called consumption here.Thinking of this, Lin Danhan already had the intention to retreat, and ordered the soldiers to charge towards Wei Ming's army, while he himself was preparing to escape with thousands of guards.If he was really asked to run away with a thousand people, it would be really hard to find.If Lin Dan Khan can leave tens of thousands of troops and escape alone, then he will be able to abandon these 1000 people and flee with a few people.It is impossible for Wei Ming to block the border forever, and Lin Dan Khan will always have the hope of being able to escape.Wei Ming didn't intend to leave any trouble for himself.Ever since, when it was discovered that more than [-] people were separated from the Mongolian army and fled to the rear, Li Zicheng was immediately ordered to chase him.Although Li Zicheng is exhausted now, he also knows that now is not the time to rest.The Mongol army is about to die, so let them die more thoroughly!Expanding the results of battles is always what soldiers like to do most, and Li Zicheng is no exception.Hearing that they were going to pursue the enemy chieftain, the soldiers who had just escaped from death seemed to be filled with energy all of a sudden, and rushed towards the rear of the Mongolian army screaming.But now that the Mongolian army did not have the command of Lin Dan Khan, it could only follow Lin Dan Khan's last order and rush to the musketeers of the Ming army.The shield soldiers are in front, the white soldiers are behind, and the musketeers are tightly surrounded in the middle

, As long as you keep filling the pills and shooting, the Mongolian cavalry will fall powerlessly one by one.Wei Ming saw all this through the binoculars, a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "It's over, it's finally over." Qin Yuxin saw Wei Ming's smile on his face, and sincerely expressed his gratitude to Wei Ming. Ming is happy.Although the battle lasted only one day, it didn't stop during the period, and the battle situation changed too fast, which made people feel dizzy.For Wei Ming, a day may be as long as a century.Qin Yuxin walked to Wei Ming's side, and held that slightly rough hand in his palm.Wei Ming turned his head and smiled knowingly at Qin Yuxin, without saying anything.

When the sky completely darkened, the Mongolian cavalry finally couldn't stand it anymore.With the first deserter, deserters will continue to appear one after another.When the formation of cavalry fled one after another, the battlefield that was still noisy just now became quiet in an instant.In this boundless wilderness, only the soldiers lying naked on the ground and countless pools of blood, big and small, remained.

In today's battle, even the Huotou army joined in. When it was time for dinner at night, everyone realized that there was not even a cook.Wei Ming gave an order, and the army dragged their exhausted bodies back to the camp, no matter whether it was their own horses or the opponent's horses, they were dragged into the camp one after another.Countless large pots were set up in the barracks, the horses were skinned, pieces of meat were cut off with a knife, and thrown into the pot, no matter whether it was cooked or not, they were thrown into the mouth, chewed twice and then swallowed.Many soldiers lay down on the ground and fell asleep without taking a bite.In the silent night, the snoring of the soldiers was particularly loud.
