Fan Yuhai, who was riding on his horse and standing outside the city, thought about the safety and friendship in the city as early as he set out for the war. Therefore, he deliberately left another confidant Zhang Meng beside SUD Khan in order to prevent any accidents. As for the agadorzi father and son, he just sent someone to keep an eye on them to prevent them from making trouble.
This father and son can't arouse fan Yuhai's interest, but the 15000 cavalry under him is what he is determined to get. He is even ready to accept this force at any time. It can be seen that this man also has great plans.
Besides, outside the city, five thousand Mongolian cavalry on the left and right, a total of ten thousand, launched an attack. When they walked two miles slowly and reached the middle of the battlefield, they did not see any reaction from the mercenaries. It's not like sending cavalry to fight at the beginning.
This made the generals who led the team have a feeling that Zhang Er couldn't touch his head, but the sound of beating drums didn't stop in his ears, so their army couldn't stop, so they simply rode and rushed forward.
However, it was only three miles away. The cavalry only charged for more than two miles. When they could approach the mercenary cavalry camp in the last mile, the gunfire suddenly sounded. Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba.
Six battalions, a total of 2400 Musketeers, squatted like a long snake in front of the mercenary cavalry, forming a tight fire net, and the enemy shot and killed them one by one within 500 meters.
The speed of cavalry is very fast. It is not so easy for Musketeers to hit fast-moving targets. There are too many enemies to hold. It can really be described as dense. Under such an array, even if a blind man shoots at him, 90% of them may hit the enemy, not to mention the sound of guns in these six battalions has been trained for a long time.
The gunfire was dense and sounded like firecrackers. The response was that Mongolian cavalry were shot and sacked every moment, every minute and every second. A little makes a lot, and more and more enemies die on the battlefield. Fan Yuhai in the rear station can't help feeling distressed.
He knew more about the musket than any general of the Mongolian cavalry. That's why he knew the horror of this thing. At the beginning, the powerful Jiaozhi country was defeated by such a gun? At that time, even the elephant soldiers could not take the slightest advantage, let alone the Mongolian cavalry charging on war horses.
The gunfire continued, and more and more Mongolian cavalry died, but the distance of one mile was about to rush. At the moment, among the mercenaries, the sound of the charge horn sounded, Dudu Dudu... The loud voice fully stimulated the adrenaline of the human body, so that every soldier could not help but have a move to jump his horse and whip and kill.
"Rush!" riding on the horse, the tiger awn in a white cloak roared, and then he rushed out first with a saber. Now he urgently needs a big victory to prove himself and wash away the shame brought to him by the defeat of the last war.
The mercenary cavalry of all divisions and regiments moved behind him. In an instant, more than ten thousand cavalry jumped out of the array. At present, it was like an overwhelming rush, which shocked the Mongolian cavalry from afar.
"Retreat, retreat." seeing that the situation was bad, fan Yuhai immediately launched a withdrawal order. At that moment, the voice of Mingjin kept ringing. Some Mongolian cavalry who were at a loss turned around and fled.
Normally, their response was not slow, especially the military order issued by fan Yuhai was very timely. They should be able to retreat safely. However, before that, Yang Chendong gave an order and was ready. When Hu Mang and others attacked, holding the saber was just a means of feigning attack. Seeing that the other party turned and wanted to go, they picked up the long saber of the horse one by one, and there was a burst of fierce shooting behind the Mongolian cavalry.
The long prepared bows and arrows and thousands of arrows fell into the ranks of Mongolian cavalry. Under a crackling sound, thousands of Mongolian Knights fell off their horses, dead or injured.
This pursuit was three miles away. It was not until it came to the enemy and under the capital of Yi that the call to retreat sounded. At present, more than 10000 mercenaries and cavalry had to withdraw in order, which disappointed fan Yuhai, who was still waiting for the opportunity to fight back.
When the mercenary retreated, there was no chaos at all. It was like rehearsing for a long time. It was not urgent or slow. Whoever retreated first and who stayed behind to cover had a full sense of hierarchy. Even now he sent cavalry, he was afraid it would not do any good. Not to mention that most cavalry are still in the city and have not been sent out. It takes time for him to dispatch troops.
This is the disadvantage of small cities. There are no 60000 troops outside Yidu City, which may be one of the main reasons why Yang Chendong dared to lead troops to challenge.
It was getting dark. Under the Second World War, we had not hurt the enemy, but we did lose more than 3000 people. Together, we ended today's battle with nearly 5000 losses. "Retreat, all retreat back to the city, and defend strictly at night to prevent the other party from attacking at night." fan Yuhai said to Liu duo and cha Muba with the same look. Then he took the lead in riding into the city and went straight to the house where SUD Khan rested.
Fan Yuhai met SUD Khan and truthfully reported what happened today. He was ready to be scolded. But unexpectedly, SUD didn't blame him, just nodded, "well, the loss is not big. Can you find out the reality of the God of war?"
"Almost, the other party has too few soldiers. If they really fight together, it must be him who loses, so he should just want to give priority to intimidation. As long as we can stick to it, the other party will naturally retreat if we can't take advantage of it." fan Yuhai replied in a deep voice after a little consideration.
"Well, it's all up to general fan. Against the God of war, it's a great achievement to be able to defend the city and pool without losing it. After all, this man is so famous that even if he wants to defeat him, it's not a day's work."
Su De even persuaded himself in turn. Fan Yuhai showed a very moved look and said, "yes, my subordinates remember."
Su De is so generous. Of course, there is a reason to take a fancy to fan Yuhai's ability. What's more, the cavalry died in World War I today are not his lineage, nor the elite of Mobei Mongolian tribe. Such people may have been herding men yesterday, but they have become soldiers today. There are many such people in Mobei. It won't hurt to die.
Fan Yuhai naturally sees this, so today's exploratory soldiers he sends are cavalry with weak combat power. Just from this point of view, he is very measured in his work.
The Mongolian army retreated back to the city. Under the cheers, mercenaries began to set up camps and lit huge bonfires. Under the reflection of the fire, no matter veterans, captured soldiers or recruits, everyone's face was filled with the smile of the winner.
Today's two wars and two victories have given them unparalleled confidence and made them full of trust in the God of war. They are more convinced that under the leadership of the God of war, the victory will belong to them.
Outside the large account of the Chinese army, the figure floats, and the two guards change their defense to ensure the absolute safety of the sixth young master. In the big tent, Hu mang stood in front of Yang Chendong and flattered him. Or you can say it's not flattery, but telling the truth.
"Young master, you are so powerful. Your sharp arrow array completely beats the other party at a loss. With the charge of musketeers against cavalry and static braking, we can effectively avoid all kinds of disadvantages in mobile shooting. In this way, it won't be long before we can eat these Mongolian soldiers and be ashamed of our blood."
Hu mang was still talking excitedly, as if he were talking about what a great thing, but Yang Chendong suddenly raised his head, "do you really think we can destroy the 60000 Mongolian army in front of us with our current array?"
"Ah?" Hu mang was stunned by the sudden question. He stood there at a loss. He didn't know what to do for a long time.
Fortunately, Yang Chendong didn't mean to embarrass him. He soon asked himself and replied, "the other party has nearly 60000 soldiers, and we are only more than 10000. There are still many recruits in the army, some captured soldiers who haven't fully adapted to our military regulations. Relying on this strength, it's completely impossible to defeat the Mongolian coalition army from the front."
Not that it is impossible, but it is completely impossible. Just from this sentence, Yang Chendong's mind is still very clear. Then he said: "today we can win, but because the veterans and guns have given full play to their advantages. If the two sides really start a war, we must lose."
"This... This is impossible." Hu mang said as if he didn't believe it.
"Nothing is impossible. Hu Mang, as a general, the most important thing is to recognize the situation and size up the situation. Knowing it can't be done, it's definitely not what a general of the army should do, but just the courage of every man." Yang Chendong's face remained unchanged and he was still very calm.
This time, Hu Mang's face changed again and again. He thought of the last big defeat. It was precisely because he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. He sent troops without completely understanding the situation of the other party. As a result, he made a big defeat, which greatly reduced the strength of mercenaries, and the sixth young master had to fight in person.
Seeing the sudden change of Hu Mang's face, Yang Chendong sighed and said again: "I don't want to blame you. In the last war, you were responsible for the defeat of the army. However, several of the following leaders were confused by the victory. They thought that the mercenaries were really invincible. Once the army appeared, the enemy would flee? Hum! Don't think about it. The Mongols have ruled here for so many years If so, Daming would not have gone to war several times and failed. Failure is not terrible. What's terrible is that he doesn't know how to lose. That's the one who can't be saved. Do you understand? "
