Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 284 Chapter 284, Xiningwei's combat power exploded, and Heshuote was shocked collectively
Chaolu's idea is also very simple and straightforward, no matter what your Ming army's ideas are, anyway, as soon as I see your troops come out, I will eat you!

As soon as Chaolu gave an order, several teams of thousands of people rushed out of Heshuote's main formation, outflanking the Xining guard cavalry from several different directions.

This is also the characteristic of the Mongols. Don't look at the Mongols who are loose when they are not fighting, but as long as they are ordered, they can get on their horses in an instant and gather at an unexpected speed.

But no matter how fast it is, it still takes at least 15 minutes from assembly to arrival and completion of the siege.

Fifteen minutes seemed a long time, but it was actually such a short time on the battlefield. Chao Lu didn't think that such a short time would be enough for the cavalry of Xining Guard to retreat safely.

Don't forget, there is also a Heshuote thousand-man cavalry on the front that can contain the Xining Guard!

Luo Shi and Fan Wencheng, two envoys from the Qing Dynasty, watched this scene and were involuntarily infected by the tense emotions on the battlefield.

Fan Wencheng said softly: "Master Luo Shi, what's your opinion?"

Luo Shi thought for a while, and said: "The fighting power of the Mongolian cavalry is well known in the world. This time, the entire army of Xining Guard should be wiped out."

Fan Wencheng hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Is there a possibility that the Xining Guard defeated the Mongolian cavalry that was closest to them before retreating to the Ming army camp?"

Because of the long time of thinking, Fan Wencheng also forgot to cover up his voice, and was heard by several Mongolian generals around him.

One of the generals burst out laughing immediately: "We, Heshuote, are descendants of the upright Golden Family. How could we be defeated by these weak tribes who betrayed the Mongolian people? What a joke!"

The other Mongolian generals also laughed out loud, looking at Fan Wencheng with contempt.

"Sure enough, it's a Hannu, who doesn't understand the strength of the Mongolian cavalry at all!"

"The Han slaves will show off their prestige in the southern plains. When they come to the north, they are not hanged and beaten by our Mongolian cavalry?"

"That's right, my grandfather made Zhu Qizhen drink his footwashing water when we were in Tumubao, so Zhu Qizhen drank it all in one gulp, calling it delicious."

"A Hannu is a Hannu, you can't get on the stage!"

Hearing the merciless ridicule of many Mongolian generals, Fan Wencheng's expression was very calm.

These Mongols are scolding Han people, so what does it have to do with Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty?

We are not Han slaves, but slaves of the Qing Dynasty!
At this moment, Rosh said: "The battle has begun!"

These words immediately drew everyone's attention back to the battlefield, where the Xining guard cavalry who had just rushed out had already started fighting with the nearest Heshuote thousand-man cavalry.

With the experience of fighting in the previous few days, this time the Heshuo Te Thousand Cavalry Team did not panic. They retreated under the order of the commander in chief.

This is a well-known tactic of the Mongolian light cavalry, called "Mangudao". Simply put, it is to pretend to retreat to lure the enemy to go deep, and wait until the enemy's formation is scattered due to excessive pursuit, and then suddenly ambushes from the two wings to form a three-sided anti-surrounding .

300 years ago, the Mongols relied on this tactic to advance all the way from Central Asia to Eastern Europe. All the nomads on the road were defeated by this tactic.

This time, the Heshuote Mongols used it again in front of the Ming cavalry.

Can it be successful?

Under the gaze of everyone, Xining Wei did not hesitate and chased after him.

Chao Lu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly: "This time, I won it!"

The other Heshuote generals also laughed out loud.

Amidst the laughter, the cavalry of Xining Guard also opened their bows and arrows and shot towards the Heshuo Special Army.

After the two sides shot each other, the Xining Guard took some advantage. After all, the Xining Guard had a larger number of people, and it was a tailwind during the pursuit, with a longer range.

But all the Heshuote generals, including Chaolu, didn't care, because it took about 10 minutes to form an encirclement, and by that time, none of the two or three thousand cavalry of Xining Guard would be able to escape!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The hundreds of Xining guard cavalry rushing to the forefront suddenly took out their muskets, loaded them familiarly and took aim.

Don't forget that the Xiningwei are also Mongols. For them, riding and archery skills are innate. Whether they shoot bows and arrows or bullets, there is actually no essential difference.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of musket shooting resounded across the battlefield, and smoke came out after the flame sprayed from the muzzle, and the bullets were shot out instantly, hitting the Heshuote cavalry quickly.

Immediately, hundreds of Heshuote cavalry fell off their horses instantly.

Chaolu's expression changed drastically: "You bastard!"

The sound of musket spraying was endless, and in just a few minutes, three or four hundred cavalrymen were shot down from their horses.

Among them, the Heshuo special cavalry really panicked now, scattered and fled in a hurry.

At this point, the Heshuo special cavalry no longer cared about mangu evil or luring the enemy deep.

Save your life first!

This time, the thousand-man team was completely defeated.

Afterwards, there was a sharp sound of ringing gold in the camp of the Ming army.

The thousands of cavalrymen of Xining Guard immediately stopped their horses, turned neatly, and returned as fast as they could.

Chao Lu's eyes were about to pop out, and he roared angrily, "Stop them, stop them!"

However, no matter how angry Chao Lu was, the speed of the other Heshuo special cavalrymen always had a limit.

A few minutes later, thousands of Heshuo special cavalry arrived at the gate of the Ming army's camp, but they could only watch helplessly as the last batch of Xining guard cavalry returned to the camp safely, without even catching a horse hair.

The main formation of Heshuo's army suddenly became dead silent.

From attacking to returning to camp, Xiningwei just grasped the point of 15 minutes very accurately, allowing Heshuote to return without success.

Not only that, the Xining Guard killed more than [-] Heshuote cavalry.

You must know that a Heshuote thousand-man team usually has only 800 people, and now 500 people died all at once, which means that this thousand-man team is completely abolished.

Looking at the commander in front of him, dejected and kneeling, pleading guilty, Chao Lu was so furious that he drew out his saber and chopped it down.

After a scream, the commander's head rolled on the ground several times, and the blood of the headless corpse sprayed everywhere.

Chao Lu said coldly: "Okay, very good. This time the Ming army took advantage, and next time I want to see if the Ming army can be so lucky!"

On the side, Luo Shi and Fan Wencheng were also dumbfounded.

Fan Wencheng said softly: "Master Luo Shi, is that the musket commonly used by the Ming army?"

Luo Shi looked dignified, and nodded slowly: "It's not that Shenjiying has never appeared on the battlefield against the Qing Dynasty, but the former Shenjiying was a bunch of waste, and it has become inexplicably stronger in the past two years, which is puzzling. .”

Fan Wencheng took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, Heshuote wouldn't... lose?"
