Bala's words calmed mazamu down. Thinking that if you leave now, the great achievement of killing the northern Ming army here may have nothing to do with yourself. More importantly, even if he goes back now, he will just bring back 4000 cavalry. In the face of powerful mercenaries, it will not play a great role. It's better to stay and ask for reinforcements after seeing Lord Hu Bo'er. This is the way to solve the problem.
"Well, general Bora, please give you everything, but you should also be careful." mazamu listened to the suggestion. But he did not know that this parting was the eternal formula between him and Bella. "Please don't worry, general. When I get back to the mountain, I will stick to it, and then wait for the general to bring reinforcements." without delay, after Bai La said that, she ordered two thousand cavalry to return quickly.
Saihan mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack because of its geographical advantage. This once made mazamu and Bora, who guarded the mountain, confident. All this has been confirmed since the northern Ming army couldn't attack for a long time. But mercenaries are not the northern Ming army. Such an attack on mountains is also a common subject in peacetime training. In addition, it was a sneak attack. In addition, two battalions of 800 Musketeers were transferred to assist. When the attack was launched on the first day of the new year, they were stunned by the Tatar army guarding the mountain.
In the dark, the sight is limited. I don't know where mercenaries will rush up the mountain. If you want to see the enemy, it's essential to raise a torch. But if someone does, it is tantamount to revealing his position. The mercenary Musketeers will teach him how to be a man every minute. Often one torch is lit and one will be extinguished soon. After hundreds of Tatar soldiers holding torches were shot and killed, everyone learned the essence without revealing their position.
There is no light, which creates opportunities for mercenaries who rush to the mountain. At present, soldiers continue to attack Xuanshi slope with excellent mountaineering skills, and then directly climb the top of Saihan mountain.
The warning smoke on the mountain has been lit. The picture is to tell mazamu and others at the foot of the mountain that the situation on the mountain is very critical. If there is no reinforcements, I'm afraid they can't keep it.
On the Xuanshi slope on the hillside, shebie, the deputy commander in charge of commanding the battle, was watching the soldiers launch waves of small shocks. His face was lazy. He didn't seem to regard the battle as a real battle, but like watching a drill.
This scene fell in the eyes of LV Zhuo, the division commander of the recruit division, which made him very puzzled, "deputy commander, why only launch a small-scale charge? Our recruit division is fully capable of launching an all-round attack and winning Saihan mountain in one fell swoop."
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's making some people worry." the farewell of slow-moving silk principle is not worried at all. It's just laughing, riding on the horse and watching the small impact of platoon or company to the recruits again and again. "By the way, Mr. LV, this is a good opportunity for actual combat training. Don't miss it."
I don't know what the idea was in shebie's heart, but LV Zhuo would never let go of the opportunity to train troops in actual combat. At the moment, he solemnly nodded, called several commanders and ordered them to take this opportunity to organize military training. Once a soldier is found to be injured, he will immediately withdraw and replace him. Anyway, the war is not so fierce, and he has the opportunity to do these things.
I'm not in a hurry or busy. Naturally, I'm waiting for the fish to take the bait. As he expected, Bora led two thousand cavalry straight towards Saihan mountain. In order to achieve the idea of reaching the destination as quickly as possible, this time he couldn't even wait for the news of the scouts. He just sent the scouts while moving forward rapidly.
The only way from Dalu city to Saihan mountain is a place called Valley crossing. In summer and rainy season, the water here will converge into a stream, but it is usually just a ditch. It is not very big, but it is more than one meter deep and about three meters wide.
At this time, four fire gun battalions of the independent division of the new first army were lying in ambush here. One thousand six hundred gunshots lay on their bodies in the valley, aiming at them.
Not far away, the sound of horses stepping on the earth was getting closer and closer. The two scouts and cavalry came quickly. When they were close to 30 meters, they each made a gesture, and then disappeared on both sides. It can be seen from the gesture that the enemy is five miles away.
The sound of horses' hoofs and the rapid sound from far to near. It is less than two miles away from the valley. Through the faint moonlight in the sky, you can see the moving figure from afar. All the Musketeers' involuntary breathing began to slow down and their bodies began to relax.
"Bang!"
A flare as bright as day suddenly flickered in the air, instantly illuminating the whole area as bright as day. The reinforcements of two thousand Tatars also came into everyone's sight at this moment. Then a "shooting" roar came out. Under the gunshot, the night was restored, and there was streamer work on the earth. Accompanied by a series of Tatar cavalry figures falling from the horse, you would also make bursts of screams.
"Kill!"
Just after the gunshot sounded, countless cavalry suddenly appeared on both sides of the valley. Their torches were lit one by one and rushed towards the location of the two thousand Tatar reinforcements who were beaten head-on.
After twice shooting, Tatar reinforcements dropped at least 500 bodies. When the gunfire stopped, the torches around them reflected their faces. Then bursts of bows and arrows broke through the air, fell into the army and attracted hundreds of people to fall off their horses.
Under the leadership of division commander Xin Honghai, a total of 3700 cavalry troops from nine battalions and companies directly under the division ambushed nearby were like tigers coming down the mountain and surrounded by stunned Tatar cavalry. There were bullets in the far arrow, bows and arrows in the near, and sharp sabers in the near body. Under continuous attacks, the Tatar cavalry formation was in chaos, Each cavalry's face showed a frightened look under the light of the firegun.
Under the protection of several close soldiers, Bella turned pale. At this moment, he knew he had been tricked. Let's see, the mercenaries should have been prepared long ago, and the number of troops sent will not be too small.
I felt the rapid response of mercenaries, but also scolded the uselessness of my scouts in the bottom of my heart. The enemy has been killed before his eyes. Why hasn't he received any news? Untimely intelligence eventually led to the defeat.
After resisting for only half an hour, two thousand reinforcements, including general Bora, were killed, and finally only more than 500 wounded.
"Quickly clean up the battlefield, take a battalion of people and horses to send these wounded back to the chixian City, and send someone to inform the Deputy military commander of shebie on the mountain that they can take Saihan mountain after the great victory here." division commander Xin Honghai rode on the war horse and kept giving instructions. Just half an hour later, the general attack on Saihan mountain began. It was less than one time. All the enemies were wiped out. Saihan mountain became one of the areas where Shicheng expanded southward.
In the same dark night, the commander of Wanquan Dusi made Shi Wanshan and Tongzhi know that the ancient river was moving rapidly towards Dalu city under the protection of 400 elite cavalry.
They had been running all night. Seeing that the sky was dimly lit, their whereabouts were finally found by Tatar scouts, and then they were chased and intercepted all the way.
At the moment, it can be described as time is life. In order to escape from the encirclement before the main force of the Tatar army appeared, the two generals had been killed several times, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers under them. At the time of the fifth siege, the number of cavalry around was less than 50.
Even so, the two generals did not give up their intention to resist. They were still fighting hard, just to return to Daru city alive.
"They are there, surround the past, don't let them escape." not far away, another Tatar patrol of 200 people came. They saw the Beiming army being surrounded and killed, and rushed over with all kinds of strange noises.
There were more than 100 enemies around him, and there were another 200 enemy riders. Shi Wanshan felt the pressure increased, waved his saber and kept chopping. After cutting a Tatar cavalry under his horse, he wiped the blood on his face and squeezed out a smile towards Gu Heqiang not far away. "Brother Gu, it seems that we can't escape."
"If you can't get out, you'll die in battle. Kill one enough, kill two and earn one. At least you'll be a hero again in eighteen years." Gu he also reluctantly smiled. Then he tightened his left arm, pressed the bleeding point hard, waved his left hand and rushed to the Tatar cavalry five meters away again.
At this moment, it is impossible to distinguish between generals and soldiers. God is very fair and gives everyone only one life. At this moment, either killing the enemy or being killed by the enemy, all plots and strategies are useless.
The saber and the curved horse constantly collided in mid air, attracting bursts of sparks. A quarter of an hour later, the northern Ming cavalry paid another 40 cavalry. Now there are only ten people, including two generals.
Fortunately, after some hard work, a bloody mouth finally burst out. Without delay, the two generals rushed out of the encirclement with several wounded soldiers, and then went to Dalu city. At the moment, they have to fight for every chance. Even if they die, they don't want to die on the grassland.
"Chase." the remaining 200 Tatar cavalry soldiers, seeing that the fat meat they got wanted to fly away, ran one by one and chased after Shi Wanshan and others. Once the distance is close to 100 meters, there will be a burst of bows and arrows, and one or two northern Ming cavalry fell and died.
