Li Dingguo is the commander of this cavalry.
It was the Mongolian soldiers of the Chinese army who fought and fought with these tactics, but it was Li Dingguo who commanded them.
Li Dingguo is not an authentic Mongol, but he plays very sneaky with the tactics of Mongolian cavalry. Even these Mongolian soldiers are convinced of him.
The army always worships the strong. Li Dingguo is full of legend and personal heroism, which makes these soldiers admire him.
After defeating the cavalry of the Ming army, Li Dingguo chased and beat the other party in the middle of the night, so that the other party didn't dare to sleep at night and fled to the West.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Dingguo ordered his cavalry to speed up, take a path and bypass the other party.
Many people believe that they are ready to go around in front of the cavalry of the Ming army and ambush and attack him. Who knows that Li Dingguo has no such intention. It is useless to chase a lost dog.
The enemy's vanguard army has been defeated and defeated by him. This is called losing his spirit. It is estimated that the pride accumulated in the battle of Yiling is almost exhausted.
It's time to fight their main force.
They went all the way west. About midnight, they found a military camp 70 miles away.
This military camp is huge and seems boundless. It is known from the torture of their tongues that this is the camp of Lu Baqun, a senior general under Zhu Xieyuan.
After Zhu Xieyuan sent cavalry to attack Xiangyang, he sent his ministry to lead tens of thousands of infantry to follow up quickly. He knew that it was not easy to hold Xiangyang even if he took Xiangyang by surprise with 2000 cavalry.
He also believed that the battle of Yiling would soon spread, and the Chinese army would respond. They could not ignore the fall of Xiangyang, an important town. The Chinese army would send troops to support it. This force was the reinforcements of Ma Xianglin's department.
Zhu Xieyuan wanted to mobilize all his 100000 troops, but it was very difficult to mobilize 100000 troops, especially after a long journey and a tragic war.
Although the Qingzhou division, the six main forces of the Chinese army, was annihilated in this world war, they also lost nearly 9000 people. Although it was an unprecedented brilliant victory between the Ming army and the Chinese army, the casualties of nearly 10000 people also hurt the muscles and bones of Zhu Xieyuan department.
Therefore, after the war, his troops must rest and reorganize for a short time before they can go out. He had to mobilize elite troops and set out first.
Since Ma Xianglin opened the way in front, he also broke the courage of the Chinese army. He was on his way all the way. He wanted to put on his wings. Overnight, he flew to Xiangyang. He was also on his way continuously. The troops were very tired and tired. He was unwilling to stop. Until the troops were about to collapse, he reluctantly let the troops stay. It was already late at night.
So his troops didn't have time to camp at all. They just did a simple guard and set up some tents, and they fell asleep.
They dared to do this. First, there was ma Xianglin's army in front of them, and second, they had broken the courage of the Chinese army. I'm afraid they didn't dare to take the initiative to attack the army, so when their army was tired, they set up a simple tent directly, and then fell asleep safely.
Li Dingguo stubbornly bit the cavalry of Ma Xianglin's department and wanted to swallow him, but he also found that the other party's combat effectiveness was good and the commander's command ability was strong. It was not easy to swallow it, so after beating him badly and running away, he began to think about the troops behind him.
Li Dingguo can also be sure that after the other party sends cavalry to attack it, it will send troops to follow up.
Moreover, all the troops have a habit that the forward army is careful, and the people behind are not so careful because there are thunder in front.
Because they all think that if there is an enemy situation, their vanguard troops will be the first to deal with, and they will certainly receive news.
Li Dingguo played this idea and the other party's psychology.
Not to mention, Li Dingguo bet right. Lu Baqun, the commander of the Ming army, thought so. The disastrous defeat of the Chinese army in the first World War in Yiling gave him a mentality that the Chinese army was easy to deal with. He also believed that the defense of Xiangyang City was empty. If he could arrive in advance, it would be equivalent to taking over the city, and he wouldn't be able to drink it later.
So he ordered the troops to go on their way day and night, but after all, they walked on two legs, tired and sleepy. The soldiers were really forced by him. They were too tired to go all the way. There were complaints. Seeing that the soldiers were about to collapse and mutiny, he had no way, so he ordered the troops to set up camp on the spot.
Their camp is also relatively simple. They believe that the collapse of the Qingzhou division of the Chinese army has created a power vacuum in this area. They are the most powerful strength in the nearby area, so their defense is very lax.
Seeing the opportunity, Li Dingguo divided his troops into four routes and entered the camp of the Ming army from four directions.
The Ming army was sleeping. As a result, they heard the cry like thunder. Before they reacted, the cavalry of the Chinese army had killed them with sabers and torches.
Many Ming soldiers had no time to respond. They were killed in deep sleep.
The Chinese cavalry are well equipped. They prepared a batch of grenades for the raid.
Seeing the tent of the Ming army, he threw a grenade directly, with a nest at one end.
When Lu Baqun was sleepy, he suddenly heard an earth shaking cry of killing. The enemy rushed in from all directions. His men shouted and screamed. He was very afraid. At this time, his own soldiers rushed in and said loudly, "Huaxia dog robbed the camp. General, go quickly."
Since his men had such good intentions, Lu Baqun didn't refuse. He put on his armor, rode on his horse and left immediately. It's called a gentleman not to stand under the dangerous wall.
The whole camp was full of shouts and screams. It was a mess and a pot of porridge. Because in the dark, the cavalry of the Chinese Army rushed in four directions. They didn't know how many enemies there were and where they came from, so they had to deal with it very hard and blind.
Lu Baqun originally wanted to organize people and horses to resist. Who knows, just after he escaped, he didn't collect many people and horses. He saw a Biao army killing him. The other party was riding a tall horse. He was very fierce. As soon as he held a knife, he cut people and threw a grenade. Every time he threw it, he killed a large number of people.
The Ming army also seized some grenades. They know that this kind of thing is powerful. Unfortunately, the quantity is not large and can not be loaded. They can't throw it like the Chinese army without money.
Lu Baqun, however, saw that the enemy was so fierce that he didn't dare to resist, so he turned and left.
The officers fled, the soldiers had no backbone, and the resistance was even less organized.
Originally, there were not many Chinese cavalry who robbed the camp. There were only less than 1000 people. They attacked in several directions, and the troops were even less. However, in the dark, regardless of the enemy and ourselves, they became a mess. The Ming soldiers robbed the camp in their sleep. They were dazed and killed by the enemy. In panic, they fled everywhere. They killed each other and trampled on the dead, More than the enemy killed.
The whole camp was a mess.
Li Dingguo was overjoyed to see the Ming army's camp turned into a pot of porridge. He ordered his cavalry to kill and chop when they saw people. When they saw the other party's crowded place, they organized a horse team to rush to kill and disperse the other party, so that the other party could not form an organized resistance.
They did this, which made the situation more chaotic. The Ming soldiers in the camp were in a mess, killing each other or running for their lives.
Before Li Dingguo robbed the camp, he knew he would succeed, but he didn't expect that he would easily achieve such a great success. The whole camp of tens of thousands of people was like paper paste. They rushed in like chopping melons and vegetables, killing each other.
Li Dingguo knew that the opportunity could not be missed, so he led his elite horse team to make a big fuss, cut and kill in the dark night. When he saw that there were many people on the other side, he rushed over, so that the other side could not organize, form an organization, and could not resist. In the dark night, the Ming army was in a mess, and the camp of tens of thousands of people actually let Li Dingguo press thousands of troops and horses to fight.
Li Dingguo asked their horses to maneuver among the camps of the Ming army, kill all sides, and expand the war results as much as possible.
Li Dingguo is a natural general. He is brave, bold and ruthless. Since he was promoted to a senior officer by Liu Bu, he immediately has an overall view. He knows that the morale of Chinese soldiers was greatly hit in the Yiling war.
If this situation is not changed, they will be pressed by Zhu Xieyuan's 100000 troops to fight.
But today, he cleaned up the other party's cavalry first, and then defeated the other party's vanguard army, which severely demoralized Zhu Xieyuan's army and let them know that the Chinese army is not easy to provoke. In this way, they all suppressed the other party's arrogance and improved their morale.
Moreover, Li Dingguo also proved with iron facts that he is capable and can be the right position of guru.
Li Dingguo was not afraid of life and death. He led the team in person and rushed into the camp of the Ming army. He commanded the army, slashed and killed, and washed the other party down. The camp of tens of thousands of troops let him make a surprise attack. It was like a tiger entering the sheep. He slashed and killed, pressing the other party to fight, like entering a no man's land.
In the dark, the Ming army didn't know how many enemies there were. Because their generals fled and couldn't organize and deploy effective resistance, they actually let the Chinese army come and go freely and were really defeated.
