In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 237: Unstoppable by Humans
The reinforcements coming from the west of Guihua City were naturally the Mongolian cavalry, dragoons and chariot battalion soldiers led by Huber.

After defeating [-] Huihui cavalry in the clouds yesterday morning, Habeier took a short rest and led the army back to Guihua without stopping.

Not only did they not pursue the enemy, but those who escaped returned to the defeated army. They even asked the nearby tribes to clean up the battlefield, which shows how anxious they were.

Everyone hurriedly hurried and finally arrived at Guihua at noon today. When they learned that the Ming army had not only begun to attack the city, but also many people had attacked the city, Habeier and all the Han people were shocked.

They never expected that this group of Ming troops would be so ferocious. With only 1 people, they still traveled a long way. Not only did they attack the city, they did so so quickly. It really surprised Habeier and a group of dragoon soldiers. Not within reach.

Zhang Xiuying, Sister Niu, Zhang Han and others also did not expect that the Ming army's combat power would be so high. Almost all of them were veterans of hundreds of battles who were not afraid of death.

Had she known this, Zhang Xiuying would never have agreed to let the last dragoon battalion go with Hubbell.

After all, there are [-] elite dragoons and [-] veterans of the Guards Battalion. No matter how powerful the Ming army is and how unafraid of death, they will never be able to break through Guihua City.

Without the [-] dragoons, the [-] Mongolian cavalry led by Hubbell could not defeat the [-] returning cavalry, but they could use guerrilla fire to consume them and hold them back.

But in this way, the tribes in Yunzhong may suffer heavy losses, and they will not be able to expel the Hui and Ming armies in a short time.

Because of this, Zhang Xiuying listened to Zhang Han's suggestion and decided to concentrate her forces to deal with the Huihui first, and then deal with the Ming army. As a result, the Ming army almost broke the city.

"Report, Fifth Princess, Commander Xue, the cavalry of the Ming Army are coming towards us, they probably want to intercept us directly."

"Hmph, this group of Ming troops is so rampant that they have only [-] cavalry, one man and one horse. They actually dare to intercept our tens of thousands of cavalry from the front."

Hubbell immediately snorted, really angry at this group of Ming soldiers.

The battalion commander of the dragoons was named Xue Gui. Although he was also very angry, he was much more prudent and cautious. The other party dared to use three thousand cavalry to intercept their nine thousand cavalry. It must not be a simple thing. He must have two brushes. , so he suggested to Ha Beier: "Fifth Concubine, the top priority is to prevent the opponent's infantry from continuing to attack the city. You can arrange the chariots in a row without leaving any gaps, and directly crush them. See if the opponent dares. Don’t dare to stop me!”

"Well, I will listen to you."

Hubbell was right when he thought about it. The current situation is different from the previous battle with Huihui. There is no need for a quick battle. All you need to do is fight to Guihua City as soon as possible. Therefore, there is no gap between the chariots and they clear the way directly. Yes The fastest and most direct.

Immediately after receiving the order, the tank battalion began to adjust its formation. More than 150 tanks began to advance together and gradually moved closer. The distance between each tank was less than twenty steps. With such a narrow gap, the cavalry thought that To pass through the middle is to court death.

The cavalry also began to shrink their formation from horizontal to vertical. The nine thousand cavalry simply used the chariot in front as a shield, not giving the opponent's cavalry a chance to charge for a duel.

It can be seen from this that chariots play a huge role in cavalry field battles. If you want to fight, just place the chariots farther apart. If you don't want to fight, just leave no gaps and completely control the initiative on the battlefield.

Of course, Ha Beier and Xue Gui did not want to fight again, not because they were afraid of the three thousand Ming Army cavalry, but because they did not want to waste time. After all, Guihua City was already in danger, and if they were delayed for an additional quarter of an hour, they would most likely be captured by the opponent.

No, when Cao Bianjiao ran out seven or eight years ago with three thousand cavalry, he looked at the row of chariots in the distance, one after another, rushing towards each other at a fast speed, and he stopped the horses directly, and he was dumbfounded.

"Hey! Shameless!"

Cao Bianjiao was so angry that he cursed loudly. The number of the opponent's cavalry was not only three times that of theirs, but they also had one man and two horses. With such a huge advantage, they even let chariots lead the battle, while the cavalry hid behind.

"Commander, if there are chains between the opponent's chariots, we will die in vain if we rush forward. What should we do?"

"Commander, if you don't take a detour from the left and right, it will be difficult for their chariot to turn around."

The two personal guards beside Cao Bianjiao immediately warned him, obviously knowing that their young general was not afraid of anything, and they were afraid that if he hit the stone with an egg, he would lead everyone to rush forward and attack the chariot.

Although Cao Bianjiao fought bravely and was not afraid of life and death, he was not stupid. Even if the opponent was pressed by a hundred thousand cavalry, he would dare to charge directly with the cavalry and fight to the death. But this stupid thing of colliding the cavalry with the chariot was It won't work either.

So he gritted his teeth and said: "You can't stop the opponent by going around from the side. It's meaningless. Just retreat, we have no chance."

After saying that, while the opponent's chariot was still far away, he waved his horse's head and returned eastward with three thousand riders. "Chanjiao, what's going on?"

Sun Chuanting was also shocked when he saw Cao Bianjiao leaving and returning.

"Futai, the opponent's chariot is beyond human strength!"

Cao Bianjiao said with a face of shame, and he really felt uncomfortable in his heart.

In the past, he had never flinched even when faced with hundreds of thousands of bandits or the cavalry of Jiannu, but that chariot really gave him a sense of powerlessness.

Sun Chuanting knew nothing about Cao Bianjiao. When he saw what he said, his heart sank, knowing that their defeat was certain and there was no way they could recover.

"Futai, the opponent's chariots and cavalry will arrive in an instant. We will definitely not be able to retreat. I will send a pair of brothers to escort you back to the Ming Dynasty..."

Cao Bianjiao said with a determined look on his face, obviously unwilling to abandon the infantry brothers who were attacking the city and escape with the cavalry, not to mention that he had never escaped since the beginning of the battle.

"No, Changjiao, this time I brought my brothers to the grassland for a sneak attack. How could I, Sun Chuanting, escape alone?

I will stay and continue to command the infantry brothers. Transform into a dragon. You quickly lead the cavalry to retreat. You must lead the cavalry brothers back to the Ming Dynasty. "

Sun Chuanting refused decisively, saying that he wanted Cao Bianjiao to withdraw with the cavalry, while he stayed with the infantry to break up the rear.

"Futai, how can this be done?"

"Bianjiao, listen to me. The situation in the Ming Dynasty is very critical now. It needs loyal and brave generals like you to charge into the battle, defeat the enemy and kill the thieves. Once you and these three thousand brothers are lost in the grassland, who will be able to leave you in the future?" Forget about life and death, dare to wear strong weapons and take the enemy's head directly?

So the Ming Dynasty can live without Sun Chuanting, but it cannot live without you, Cao Bianjiao! "

Sun Chuanting explained anxiously, because he knew better than anyone else that Cao Bianjiao was the sharpest knife in the Ming army.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty will need this sharp sword to clear the way for the army to charge, whether it is fighting the Chinese army or the Jiannu.

And once there is no such treasured sword to charge into battle, no matter how large the number of officers and soldiers is, they may not be able to exert [-]% of their [-]% combat power if they push each other around.

"Futai, let's go together and die together. I will never leave you and your brothers and run away."

Cao Bianjiao choked and said, his eyes had turned blood red.

"Confused, this is a military order, retreat quickly!"

When Sun Chuanting saw that he was so stupid and had no regard for the overall situation, his face turned livid with anger and he shouted loudly.

"Major General, the governor is right, let's go!"

"Yes, handsome..."

Cao Bianmo's generals also began to persuade him.

Sun Chuanting also urged again: "Quick, protect your young general and retreat quickly!"

Just like that, Cao Bianjiao was directly carried by three thousand personal guards and ran southward.

Sun Chuanting pulled out the sword from his waist and rushed towards the city wall with more than [-] close guards.
