Chapter 689 Losing Like a Two Hundred and Five

According to the intelligence of the Qing court, there were only 5000 cavalry of the Wei army, and it was impossible for this force to pose a threat to the Qing army.

Therefore, the Mongolian tribes in the Hetao area must be quite safe. No one thought that the Wei army would incorporate the Guanning army and expand the horse army to 3.

Although the Manchu Qing cavalry is still far more than that of the Wei State, and their combat power is quite powerful, but in the Hetao area, the Manchu Qing did not garrison the Eight Banners.

At this time in the Hetao area, there were mainly Mongolian tribes such as Erduosi and Tumed, and there were more than 2 adult men, but they were not the elite of the Qing Dynasty, but Mongolian herdsmen. The relative strength of the country is in a weak position.

This time the Wei army dispatched a total of six battalions of soldiers, about 2 horses, divided into three groups, each with two battalions, and went out to sweep Hetao.

The Guan Ning army could not hold down the Eight Banners, so it had no problem dealing with these Mongolian herdsmen.

On the battlefield, the Wei army's firecrackers sounded like a thunderbolt, "bang bang bang", and the projectiles whizzed out, shooting at the Mongolian cavalry at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

The bullets hit them, easily tore off their coats, and blood mist rose up, and the horsemen who rushed to the front fell down in response. , the war horse screamed, and a cloud of yellow dust rose.

In an instant, before the brigade of cavalry, more than half of the more than 100 cavalry responsible for luring the Wei army to fire their guns fell.

However, the cavalry in the back did not relax because of this. The second row of gunners of the Wei army opened fire, and the Mongolian cavalry continued to fall off their horses.

Er Linchen, Babu and others who were watching the battle behind were all stunned.

In previous wars, when facing the infantry of the Ming Dynasty in formation, the Mongolian cavalry would send out more than a hundred cavalry before the brigade of cavalry when attacking. Because of the nervousness of the army, the firecrackers started to go off, and all the firecrackers were fired at once.

In this way, the cavalry in front deceived most of the firecrackers in the infantry, and when the cavalry behind rushed up, most of the firecrackers were still reloading, giving them a chance to cover the infantry with arrow rain.

But today they met the well-trained Wei Jun, firing guns in turn, and there would never be a problem of firing all the guns at once.

After firing a row of firecrackers in the Wei army, the gunners moved in unison, holding the blunderbuss backwards, and hurriedly poured the gunpowder to reload, while the soldiers in the rear row carried the blunderbuss forward. Facing the formation of thousands of cavalry swarming, the soldiers of the Wei army Don't panic, stick to your post, and be loyal to your duties, you can be said to be an elite teacher.

Wei Jun's gunslinger raised the self-igniting fire gun horizontally, raised the gun to aim, and shot a sharp light from his eyes.

"Bang bang bang" thousands of guns were fired at once, and the air waves brought up by the projectiles were like a strong wind blowing over the Mongolian horse army, and many cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses.

Before the Mongolian horse army approached the Wei army's line, they suffered heavy casualties. They fell off their horses after sixty or seventy steps away.

This is not riding and shooting harassment, it is clearly no different from sending to death.

The Mongolian horse army galloped through the gunpowder smoke and suffered heavy casualties. They finally arrived within [-] steps of the Wei army's line. A rain of arrows was thrown.

A Mongolian cavalryman let out an arrow, heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly pulled the reins, and wanted to get away quickly, but there was a bang behind him, and the projectile hit his back, creating a cloud of blood mist, and the horse galloped. His body fell down and hit the ground heavily.

Although the relationship between Mobei Mongolia and Monan Mongolia is not harmonious, Babu couldn't stand it any longer, and persuaded in a deep voice: "My lord, I think it's better to forget it!"

never mind?Er Linchen's face was gloomy, as if he had been greatly insulted.These words stung Er Linchen, what is counting?Are you looking down on the warriors of my Ordos department?
But with the facts in front of him, E Linchen had to admit that the riding bow in the Mongolian light cavalry's armor-piercing distance was about [-] steps away, while the opponent's artillery fired a few miles away, and the firecrackers pierced the armor in [-] steps. In addition, there were rockets and Not to mention Zhen Tianlei.

The Mongolian Qingqi rushed forward, received a cannonball, and then returned to receive another cannonball, and their goal was to rush to within thirty steps and shoot a feathered arrow. This is not a chaos at all, not a show Mongolia's riding and archery skills are being used as a target for the Wei army.

If this continues, I am afraid that the Wei army's line will not be disturbed by the cavalry, but the Mongolian cavalry responsible for cavalry and shooting raids will die.

Er Linchen was heartbroken, "Why doesn't the experience left by our ancestors work?"

Seeing that the two wings and the front could not be bargained for, the Mongolian cavalry had no way to take the Wei army, and continued to grind. The Wei army was not consumed, but the Mongolian cavalry was about to be ground into needles.

If the opponent is an infantry army, the Mongolian cavalry can also wait for an opportunity outside the range of the cannon, waiting for the Wei army to retreat. When the formation is in chaos, the cavalry is launching a surprise attack.

But the opponents were all cavalry, and the infantry also had horses to ride on. Coupled with the artillery to stabilize their positions, the Mongolian cavalry had no chance at all.

Er Linchen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and ordered in a deep voice, "Send the order, the whole army retreats!"

The sound of the horn soared into the sky, and the Mongolian cavalrymen on the battlefield immediately moved after hearing the sound of the horn, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and withdrew from the battlefield quickly by virtue of their superb riding skills.

Ma Bao raised his saber and roared angrily, "Kill!"

This time, the Wei army's horse army did not continue to shrink within the range of the artillery, but chased after the Mongolian Qingqi.

Er Linchen unplugged his horse and looked at the retreating Mongolian cavalry and the Wei army cavalry chasing after him, feeling bitter in his heart, and they chased them together, just to throw away hundreds of corpses, to smash their heads and blood.

"My lord, let's go!" A little chief reminded.

Only then did Er Linchen cast a bitter glance at the battlefield, and galloped northward on his horse.

Wei Jun chased and killed for a while, and Mongolian Qingqi quickly distanced itself from Wei Jun by virtue of its speed.

When Ma Bao found out that the Mongolian Qingqi deliberately kept the distance, turning back from time to time and shooting Wei Jun off the horse, Ma Bao immediately reined in the horse, waved and shouted, "Stop chasing!"

The Mongolian Qingqi who had just released a few kites did not stop, and rode away resentfully.

The land of Hetao is very wide, and the land is sparsely populated. Even if you ride a horse and gallop, you often can't find a tribe in a morning.

Two days later, the dejected Elinchen led the cavalry across the Yellow River and returned to Wang's Tent at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

At this time, Babu, who was accompanying him, reined in his horse, and suddenly said to Er Linchen: "My lord, we will leave here!"

Er Linchen's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked: "Then about sending troops?"

Babu's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "Let's talk about this! I have to discuss with Father Khan before making a decision!"

Chahun Dorji, the son of Tuxietu Khan, also said: "If the prince can persuade the Qing Dynasty to increase its troops, our Tuxietu Department will respond to the southward movement, but if there are only three of us, I am afraid it will take some time to prepare."

Out of fear of the might of the Qing army, the Mobei Tripartites did not explicitly refuse, but the meaning is self-evident, and they just don't want to get into troubled waters.

After Babu and others finished speaking, they put their hands on their chests and bowed slightly, then pulled out the reins and headed north, raising a cloud of yellow dust.

Seeing this, Er Linchen could only go back to the king's tent first, and then report the matter to Dorgun, so he urged the horses to move on, but the Mongolian horse army suddenly found that something was wrong. Seeing no one, he couldn't help frowning.

At this time, Er Linchen galloped for more than ten miles, feeling melancholy in his heart, when a gust of mountain wind blew in front, Er Linchen suddenly frowned.

"The smell of blood?" Elin Chen moved his nose, and his expression changed instantly.

At this moment, a cavalryman galloped against the team, dismounted from his horse, and ran over, terrified: "My lord, the tribe has been ransacked!"

Er Linchen's heart skipped a beat, he pulled out his horse and rushed out, he was the first to rush into the camp, and saw a mess of silver, the ground was dyed crimson, and headless corpses piled up in the center of the camp, like a hill.

The Mongolian man who entered the camp suddenly became violent, but Er Linchen was not angry, his face turned pale instantly, and he fell down from the horse.
