Chapter 847

It's not terrible to underestimate the enemy. It's terrible that his cavalry have been afraid of being beaten and have no war heart. It's so difficult to stabilize the army's heart and fight again. The only way is to rush all the way to the Tatar camp and expect the other party not to chase too hard.

The light cavalry did not chase too far, only stopped after six miles. The Tatar barracks are moving forward. The other party may mobilize cavalry to fight back at any time. Although they are light cavalry, they grow faster and faster, and they are not worried about being caught up, but meaningless disputes are meaningless.

The light horse retreated and the fire gun was closed. This test ended in a great victory for mercenaries. According to the statistics of combat results, nearly 2000 horses were attacked and more than 100 enemies were captured and wounded.

The first war was not only defeated, but also general mazamu died on the battlefield. The result came to hubo'er's ears and caused anger. In the big tent, the book case was cut in two by the sharp saber, and a roaring cry sounded, "mazamu, I will avenge you."

Mazzamu, who has been guarding Saihan mountain for many years, has worked hard without credit, but it is a pity and sad that he was killed when suddenly Bo'er's army appeared and was about to show its skills. For a time, morale in the Tatar camp was low.

In order to break the bad atmosphere, suddenly Bo'er's roar came out twice, "where's general Qige? Hasn't he captured Dalu city yet?"

Under the city of Dalu, the war continues, countless cloud ladders are near the city, countless bows and arrows shoot at each other in the air, and death is a great thing for human beings. At this moment, it seems so worthless and ordinary here.

As early as when the cavalry launched a exploratory attack on the mercenaries, the 5000 grassland infantry brought by Qige launched a fierce attack on Dalu city.

It is said that the grassland cavalry is unparalleled in the world. Locusts roll over where they go, and there is no grass. But we don't know that the trained grassland infantry are also elite soldiers. They were born to attack the city. Their instructors are Ming generals with rich experience in attacking the city.

Grassland iron cavalry depends on speed and Ming army guards rely on city walls. Each has its own advantages, which makes the forces of both sides tend to balance. It is difficult for one side to build a big one. Until later, the Ming Chengzu five expeditions grassland opened the road of the Ming army's powerful cavalry. Under the repeated losses of Mongolian Erlang, they also began to learn from the advantages of the Ming army and build offensive infantry.

Man's greatest ability lies in learning and imitation. After the death of emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the advantage of the Ming army's iron cavalry gradually lost. With one Yang and one Yang, the Mongolian siege infantry grew up. This time, five thousand infantry have this ability. Their teachers were the captured generals of the Ming army who had been broken through the city. They had to bow their heads under the eaves. In order to survive, they only gave skills, and few people could refuse.

Because of this, the Mongolian army attacking the city was fierce. Once it appeared, it first hit the Beiming army. The three thousand Beiming new army in charge of guarding the city were seriously killed and injured. The voice of urgency continued to spread to general Ning Wenfeng, who was in the array. He was not allowed to take a thousand veterans and three thousand new soldiers back to the city to stabilize the war situation.

On the battlefield, the biggest difference between recruits and veterans is whether they have rich combat experience or not. Experienced veterans often know what to do without orders. They are free to fight back and avoid when they should and should not.

Recruits are not. They are like a stone mill weighing more than a thousand gold. If you push them, they will go. If you don't push them, they won't move like a mountain. When such recruits first came to the battlefield, they were already frightened by the smell of death on the battlefield. Where would they know what to do without orders?

The recruits lost the first time, the veterans went to battle, the new veterans supported each other, and Ning Wenfeng's command ability was brought into play. He drove back the Mongolian infantry that had rushed to the city several times, and went back and forth several times. Finally, he persisted until the evening, and the offensive array came to an end temporarily.

In the city Lord's residence, the injured ancient river is still resting on the bed. Most of Shi Wanshan and the guard eunuch Deng Qiang are sitting in the hall, talking to the tired Ning Wenfeng.

"Father Deng, commander, the loss of this battle is too great. The number of recruits killed in the battle is more than two thousand, and there are two thousand wounded. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the city will be difficult to defend. It's better for us to return to Xuanfu. The city wall there is much taller, which is much easier to defend than Dalu city." he complained and asked tentatively. Ning Wenfeng looked with hope in his eyes.

"No," Deng Qiang said first, "The two generals may not know that when the city of Dalu was given to Daming by Duke Zhongdan, everyone in the imperial court clapped their hands, and the people in the capital took to the streets with firecrackers to celebrate. Everyone regarded the return of the city of Dalu as a symbol of the rise of northern Ming Dynasty. How can they give up at this moment? If they do so, I'm afraid they don't need others, just the memorials of those speech officials in the imperial court Can crush me to death. "

As soon as Deng Qiang's words fell, Shi Wanshan, who had wanted to say something, quickly shut up. If so, there should be no loss in answering Lu city. Otherwise, it would be the end of their politics and life. At that time, even if they had great ambitions, they would have no power to exert themselves.

"Hold on. If you can't, transfer all the new and old soldiers left in the Xuanfu. As long as we put on a defensive posture and let the Tatar army be fierce again, they will retreat." Shi Wanshan was relieved to think that there was a Powerful Mercenary outside the city.

Ning Wenfeng is just a tentative question, that is, the method has to be considered. As for the mobilization of Xuanfu soldiers, he hesitated for one or two seconds and said, "maybe that's the only way. Otherwise, with more than 2000 veterans and 5000 recruits in the city, I'm afraid they can't last long."

"Well, we'll dispatch troops from Xuanfu. First, we'll dispatch 500 veterans and 10000 recruits." Deng Qiang finally made a decision. So far, there are only five hundred veterans and ten thousand recruits left in Xuanfu. That will be their last strength.

He made great efforts and suffered heavy losses. In the end, he didn't get anything. He had to defend Dalu city hard. Even the original veterans were about to lose all their capital. I have to say that he really did something to lose money this time. As a result, Shi Wanshan was silent for a long time. It seemed that they didn't even have the interest to speak.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the Tatar army barracks was much better than that in the afternoon. Qige has reported the war damage. During the day, he attacked the city, killing more than 1000 soldiers and injuring more than 1000 soldiers. He only needs to rest for one night, and more than half of them can participate in the war tomorrow. In contrast, the number of dead and injured soldiers in the northern Ming Dynasty exceeded 4000, twice that of the former.

As we all know, in the war of siege, the party who attacked the city often suffered losses. It is generally recognized that if you want to attack the city, you must have at least three times or more of the strength of the other party. On the contrary, the loss of defending the city is more than twice that of attacking the city. Although the city is not occupied, it can be regarded as a big victory.

Suddenly Bo'er's face looked much better. He greatly encouraged Qi Ge and said that he would continue to attack the city tomorrow, strive to win Dalu city and find a place for the army. For his words, his style naturally nods unceasingly.

Compared with ordering the northern Ming army to continue to launch a fierce attack, Hu Bo'er was a little uncertain about how to face mercenaries. Today's World War I finally gave him a deeper understanding of the combat effectiveness of mercenaries. He regretted not listening to Mu Ren's words. At the same time, he also made a decision to follow the advice of the other party, that is, he can't stick to it. He can only slowly figure it out after taking Dalu and having a place to live.

But in order to prevent the day from happening again, suddenly Bo'er called another General Hu Lin at night and told him to prevent mercenaries from sneaking into the camp. Then he went to sleep.

Facts have proved that Hu Bo'er's worry is completely superfluous. The mercenaries who won a battle during the day are sleeping peacefully in their barracks. For them, the war during the day is inevitable, which is a test of both sides, even if there is no tomorrow today.

Once the temptation is completed and they know that they are not easy to provoke, the Tatar army will certainly have a lot of peace. In this way, the mercenaries can have a safe sleep. Of course, there are troops on duty at night. Some things are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

From black to light, a new day is coming, and Hu mang is promoted. The following divisions and regiments lined up to fight one after another. In this regard, Hu mang didn't say a word, but hehe smiled at the deputy commander on the side. Farewell is also a smile, then said: "today, the whole army has a rest and clean up the sanitation around the camp. If you have spare time, each division and regiment can practice by themselves."

He did not take the initiative to launch an attack, which was the result of Hu Mang's negotiation with farewell last night. Now is not a one-on-one time, either you die or I die, that is, there are three forces. If possible, of course, it will be more refreshing to watch the tiger fight on the mountain.

Looking at the mutual consumption between the northern Ming army and the Tatar army, why not be happy to see its success?

The words of farewell represent the meaning of the military headquarters of the new army. At present, other divisions and regiments withdrew bitterly and were busy. Hu mang also informed the sixth young master of his decision to give up and leave, and then he was sitting and watching the wind and cloud change.

In the Tatar army camp, the scouts were released for eight miles. They stopped just before they reached the mercenary camp. After that, he stormed the city of Dalu with all his strength, showing a state of never giving up until he conquered the city. In this regard, the northern Ming army chose to defend the city with all its strength. Shi Wanshan personally boarded the city tower and replaced it with Ning Wenfeng, the commander, to prevent the Tatar army from attacking the city again and again. Only one day later, both sides suffered great losses.

Fortunately, in the evening, five hundred veterans and ten thousand new troops from Xuancheng came to help, which temporarily stabilized the situation. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to defend the city the next day.

In Shicheng, Yang Chendong just looked at the telegram sent by Hu Mang and put it aside. The new army has a gradually calm tiger awn and a wise man. He doesn't need to worry about anything. He focuses more on the construction of Shicheng and puts forward some very constructive suggestions.
