Chapter 177 Let us have fun! Warriors
On October 15th, the army will arrive at Chahanhot one day.
A total of fifteen military stations were set up along the way starting from Zhangjiakou, and nearly two infantry brigades and two cavalry brigades were deployed to maintain the security of the grain road.
No tribe was found on the road. Just when Zhang Zongxian regretted that he had brought too many people, Lin Danhan was frightened and wanted to take the tribe to escape.
Ye Bushou, who was at the forefront of the legion, began to engage Lin Dan Khan's scout cavalry.
It seems that Lin Dan Khan is still reluctant to part with his capital city! I heard that there is a golden Buddha in the White Temple, which is the protector of Meng Yuan. Last time he gave Tianqi a silver Buddha, and this time he presented the golden Buddha to make a perfect match.
right.
Generally, they would carry more than two short muskets at night. When a small group of Tatars encountered them, they would only be slaughtered. They quickly drove away the Tatar reconnaissance cavalry.
After nightfall, the regiment rolled over the camp thirty miles away from Chahanhot.
Zhang Zongxian summoned his disciples from the Ministry of War to determine the attack plan for tomorrow.
In order not to directly scare away Lin Dan Khan, Zhang Zongxian decided that in tomorrow's battle, six infantry brigades would launch an attack, and the cavalry would be deployed on both wings of the infantry brigades. After the infantry brigades defeated the Tatars, the cavalry would reduce the pursuit.
This will prevent the cavalry horses from consuming too much energy in the early stage and causing the Tatar cavalry to run away.
This is what happens when fighting on the grassland. Often it can only result in a rout, but cannot completely annihilate the enemy.
After confirming the plan for the decisive battle, we dispersed for a while, thinking to let everyone have a good rest and regain enough energy to kill the Tatars.
When the first tom sounded at five o'clock the next day, the baggage team had already prepared the rebellion.
When the second tom sounded, each brigade had already begun to call the roll call and marched out of camp one by one to line up.
When the third tom sounded, the troops were already in formation.
Six infantry brigades of 30,000 people were arranged in two horizontal lines in front of the camp, with the most elite company at the front. There was a five-meter gap between companies, and the remaining two companies were lined up at the front.
In the back, companies were separated by ten meters from front to back, thus forming a strike front of less than six miles.
The cavalry is organized into regiments and arranged in four columns to cover the two wings of the infantry line.
All the artillery of the infantry brigade, a total of three hundred pieces, were following the rear of the infantry brigade.
After the fourth tom sounded, the troops who had completed their formation began to march slowly to the beat of the drum.
Zhang Zongxian led the staff and artillery and followed closely behind the infantry regiment.
The good ministers led the cavalry to guard the two wings of the army.
After marching two miles, Zhang Zongxian felt that the military formation was somewhat silent. It may be that the atmosphere of a decisive battle made these young men, whose average age was less than 18 years old, a little nervous. He shouted to the infantry in front:
"My sons, let's sing."
"The brave generals of the Three Kingdoms are most likely to be Zhao Zilong..."
Soon everyone in the army started singing.
Since the decisive battle with the Ming army was decided, the entire tribe no longer had any worries and everyone took action.
The men took out their spears, bows and arrows to sharpen them before the battle, while the women repaired the men's armor. The children in the tribe stopped playing and picked up their knives and started making arrows.
Rod.
All the men from six thousand households came to the royal court, and many women also joined the team on horseback carrying spears.
A group of as many as 150,000 cavalrymen lined up in front of the Golden-domed White Temple, waiting for Lin Dan Khan to lead them into battle.
Lin Danhan looked at the dark cavalry in front of him, as if the Golden Family had returned to the era when they swept across Eurasia two hundred years ago.
At this moment, he was the real co-owner of the grassland, a direct descendant of the Golden Family, and the emperor of the Mongolian Yuan Empire.
Lin Dan Khan ordered people to carry out Chagan Suli De. The sacrificial flag before starting the expedition.
Lin Dan Khan hoped that the nine-pin white banner that followed Genghis Khan in the war could protect them from defeating the Ming army.
After the flag-sacrifice ceremony, Lin Dan Khan's son led Liubu Taiji's 100,000 cavalry troops, holding high the imperial banner, and headed towards the incoming Ming army.
Both sides set out at almost the same time. Less than ten miles away from the Golden Summit and White Temple, the two armies faced each other three miles apart.
After discovering the Tatar cavalry attack at night, the Legislative Army stopped advancing, and the artillery quickly moved forward, passed the infantry, and began to set up artillery positions.
Zhang Zongxian followed the staff to the nearby high ground and observed the Tatars with a telescope.
The staff quickly estimated that the number of Tatars far exceeded the expected 60,000. There were at least 100,000 people.
The staff immediately formulated a new plan based on the enemy's situation, proposing to immediately use artillery and rockets to attack the dense formation of the Tatars to disperse the enemy.
They were worried that the Chinese army would be broken down by the Tatars if it was too thin.
The cavalry charged to pursue the scattered Tatars.
Zhang Zongxian vetoed the plan and demanded that the original plan continue to be implemented.
He believed that the army he had built had enough faith to withstand the Tatar attack.
What he wants is to completely annihilate this group of Tatars. The more Tatars come, the better. This will save them from having to chase them all over the grassland in the future.
Facing the Ming army that had already formed its formation, Lin Dan Khan's son looked around at the 100,000 cavalry troops following him, and felt a sense of pride.
Because of their formation, the Tatars' 100,000 cavalry army seemed to be much larger than the Ming army.
The Legislative Army troops were arranged in a neat formation, with very small gaps between them, and the ones in the middle were all infantry. The infantry was still in two rows, and it felt like they could be penetrated with just a little force.
The cavalry of the Legislative Army was also in dense formation on both wings, but they were arranged in four columns and looked relatively thick.
The entire formation of the Legislative Army looks like a gate from the air, and the door frame is thin and the door pillars are very thick.
On the side of the Tatar cavalry, except for the six cavalry troops of ten thousand households, there were some formations, and the others pressed forward closely. From the sky, it looked like a crescent moon more than ten miles long, thick in the middle and thin on the sides.
From the visual point of view, it seems that there are many Tatar cavalry. Lin Dan Khan's son thinks so, and ordinary herders think so too.
They kept howling and cheering, and the entire formation began to press forward unconsciously. The Taijis with six tribes and ten thousand households were relatively calm and tried their best to suppress the herdsmen.
Lin Danhan's son was so excited that he felt that with these 100,000 cavalry, he could sweep through the Ming army, especially the infantry in the center of the Ming army. The formation was so thin that he could penetrate it with a single charge.
The original battle plan was completely forgotten, and the six tribes and thousands of households gradually became unable to suppress the entire legion.
Lin Dan Khan's son felt that the opportunity was too good to miss, and he finally led the army. How could he be defeated, not even by bombing? He was a descendant of Genghis Khan. He could only win but never fail.
Seeing that the Rokbutaiji are still suppressing the Legion's desire to attack.
He shouted to the six elites of ten thousand households around him:
"The time of joy is coming, pierce the enemy's heart with your scimitar, split the Ming army in half with your blade, warriors. Our grass is under your feet, our sun is in the sky, and we are behind you
Mother, in your hand is our steel knife, let us have fun, warriors, follow me."
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed towards the Ming army. The elites of six tribes and ten thousand households shouted loudly and rushed towards the Ming army.
The original plan was to have the conscripted herdsmen rush to the front line, and six units of elite cavalry from ten thousand households to press the formation. After the herdsmen were attacked head-on, the six elite units from ten thousand households pretended to retreat.
It's all over now, and the six Budaijis can only be carried forward.
