Chapter 751 Tartar is a dog on a chain
Chapter 751 The Tartars are dogs tied with iron chains...
At this time, Huang Taiji must be brave enough to take on heavy responsibilities before he can re-establish his prestige. If he, the king of the Great Jin Kingdom, would be weak first, the remaining Jin army and Mongolian cavalry would all be destroyed. Even if he returned to Chenyang by chance, he would be despised by all the nobles of the Great Jin Kingdom. The king of the Great Jin Kingdom could be missing anything, but the only thing that could be missing was courage.
"Then I'll leave!"
Zasangbuhe said hurriedly.
Huang Taiji and Jirgalang walked out of the tent together and sent Zaisanbu and away.
"Adou, we must take the initiative."
After Zaisanbuhe left, Huang Taiji said slowly.
"I agree."
Jirgalang said in an obscure tone.
It is very dangerous to wait for the Hu Ben Army cavalry to attack passively. Because you don’t know when or where the enemy will launch an attack, and how many enemies will participate in the attack. When you are fully focused, alert, and fully armed waiting for the enemy to arrive, the enemy disappears. On the contrary, when you are tired and unable to hold on, the enemy suddenly appears. This situation is like a group of helpless sheep. Facing a fierce wolf, the final outcome will inevitably be miserable.
In the past, the Jin army used this method to bully the Ming army. They often tortured the Ming army torture. The Ming army never dared to go out of the city to fight against the Jin army, and this factor existed here. Unexpectedly, the Feng Shui took turns, and it was the Jin army's turn to taste the taste of passive attacks on their own so soon. To be honest, this taste is really not good! If you accidentally get a piece of meat cut off, you don't even have the chance to cry out for pain.
The only way is to actively lure the Hu Ben Army cavalry into the trap. This is the only way to turn passive into active. As long as the Hu Ben Army cavalry is destroyed, the rest of the matter will be easy. The problem is that the battle in Yanshan proves that it is not so easy to lure the Hu Ben Army into a trap. The Hu Ben Army is very cunning, and ordinary traps cannot be hidden from them.
After all, Northern Zhili is the territory of the Hu Ben Army. The Hu Ben Army is the local snake here. It is free to come and go here. The people here support the Hu Ben Army. In terms of intelligence work, the Hu Ben Army has a great advantage. As long as the Jin army reveals a little flaw, the Hu Ben Army will soon notice it. It seems that the trap arranged by Huang Taiji in Yanshan was soon discovered by the Hu Ben Army.
However, in order to return to the outside world safely, Huang Taiji must continue to design and let the Hu Ben Army cavalry take the initiative to attack. Even if all the Hu Ben Army cavalry cannot be eliminated at once, the Hu Ben Army cavalry must be attracted to a certain place, and then Zasanbuhe can retreat smoothly. It is much better to fight against the Hu Ben Army at a designated time and at a designated location than to worry about the Hu Ben Army launching an attack every day.
"Adou, look here."
Huang Taiji pointed to the map in front of him and said impatiently.
The location he pointed out was in the narrow area directly from Renqiu and Xiong County. Huang Taiji estimated that the most likely place for the Huben cavalry to launch an attack was between Renqiu and Xiong County. Because, on the east side of this section of the road was Wuguan Dian and Baiyang Dian to the west, it was only a few dozen miles wide between the two large lakes, and too many troops could not be used at all. Once the mobility of the Great Jin army was limited, the power of the Huben cavalry could be fully utilized.
If he was the commander of the Huben Army cavalry, he would also be interested in such terrain. Zaisanbu and the Mongolian cavalry commanded had 8,000 people. With such a strong force, the Huben Army cavalry would not be eaten without the help of a certain terrain. Since it can be inferred that the Huben Army cavalry launched an attack here, then the Jin army could be targeted.
"What should we do?"
Jirgalang's eyes were also shiny.
"Encircle!"
Huang Taiji said without hesitation.
He made a squashing move. Once the Hu Ben Army cavalry attacked here, he immediately led the vanguard battalion to block the retreat of the Hu Ben Army cavalry, surrounded the Hu Ben Army cavalry in this narrow area, and then worked hard to eliminate the opponent. The main force of the Hu Ben Army cavalry should not exceed 5,000 people. The elite of the Former Army cavalry, plus the 8,000 Mongolian cavalry, adopted hand-to-hand combat methods, should be able to destroy most of the Hu Ben Army cavalry.
Through the previous two battles, Huang Taiji also keenly realized that the biggest weakness of the Hu Ben Army cavalry was hand-to-hand combat. They used muskets to fight, were good at long-range shooting, but were not good at hand-to-hand combat. The hand-to-hand combat ability of the Hu Ben Army cavalry was even weaker than that of the Liaodong cavalry. The three-eyed guns commonly used by the Liaodong cavalry can also be reversed after firing ammunition and used as hand-to-hand combat weapons, but the Hu Ben Army's muskets could not do this.
The reason why the Mongolian cavalry stationed in Pinggang and Yanshan suffered a loss is that they were archers and were also not good at hand-to-hand combat. However, the vanguard battalion of the Dajin Army was different. Huang Taiji had full confidence in the vanguard battalion's hand-to-hand combat ability. In addition, Zaisanbu and the commanding Mongolian cavalry were mixed with three thousand spears, waiting for the Huben cavalry to rush over, then suddenly rushed up and started hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.
This kind of combat method is a bit like the hunting people of the Great Jin Kingdom. Put a bait in the cage to lure the prey out. When the prey really pounces on the bait, the hunter immediately launches an attack from behind. No matter how fierce the prey is, it will be caught off guard in such a situation. Huang Taiji estimated that the vanguard battalion could kill most of the Hu Ben cavalry by paying 1,000 to 2,000 casualties.
"Just do it!"
Huang Taiji clenched his fists hard.
...
In the fields in April, you can already see thick green. Most of the grass has grown to half a foot tall. Occasionally, some grasses with particularly strong vitality have even grown to the calves. If it weren't for the drought all year round, the green would be even more intense. Unfortunately, it is indeed heartbreaking to see no farming people in such a large field.

The Bear Cavalry Camp is a newly established cavalry camp. It has not really experienced actual combat. This time the Tartars are going to retreat. Of course, they have to come out to cause some trouble for the Tartars. It is still Zhang Zhun's words: The Tartars kill one less, one less, one less, and one less, and kill a few more every day. They don't mind the small amount, just treat it as exercise. Over time, the Tartars are killed.
The place in front of you looks quite good. As long as the Tartar cavalry escort hostages and supplies passing by, the Bear Cavalry Battalion can consider intercepting the opponent here and concentrate firepower to give the enemy a ruthlessness. Before the enemy's large forces react, the Bear Cavalry Battalion can retreat quickly, so that the large number of enemies can't catch anything.
"Walk!"
Yu Yingyou shouted in a low voice.
Then he grabbed the horse's belly and went to discuss with Xie Zhiyou. The sound of horse's hooves was crisp and rapid. Soon, Yu Yingyou came to Xie Zhiyou, the commander of the Bear Cavalry Camp.
Xie Zhiyou's desire to participate in the war was also very strong. When he saw Yu Yingyou appear, he immediately asked: "Old Yu, what's the situation?"
Yu Yingyou said happily: "The Tartars were about to pass through the open space between Wushidian and Baiyangdian, and we found a lot of Tartars's rangers."
I immediately said in detail the terrain details I observed.
Xie Zhiyou's eyes suddenly became gloomy and he said slowly: "Old Yu, let's be his vote?"
Yu Yingyou said without hesitation: "Do it!"
Xie Zhiyou rubbed his palms hard, looking quite excited. After a while, he slowly calmed down and said deeply: "Damn, these dead Tartars! Want to leave? It's not that simple!"
Yu Yingyou nodded vigorously.
The other teams were very excited. Of course, they had to pay close attention to the first battle of the Bear Cavalry Camp. If they could really make a vote and then leave quickly, it would be the most ideal. If they make a vote today and a vote tomorrow, they would not be able to return to the outside world.
At this moment, the scout hurriedly reported: "Governor is here!"
The two were both surprised and happy. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun actually came to the front line. When Zhang Zhun arrived at the front line, all the officers of the Tiger Army immediately seemed to have a reassurance and were full of confidence in the battle. The two hurriedly squeezed their horse's belly and went to the front to welcome Zhang Zhun's arrival. Sure enough, they soon met Zhang Zhun.
Zhang Zhun's expression was a little tired, and some blood could be seen in his eyes. This was caused by continuous rushing. It took two days and two nights to arrive from Fushan City. The White Dragon Horse and the Fire Dragon Horse could take turns to rest, but Zhang Zhun couldn't. He was near Texas, slept for five hours, and then continued on his way.
Seeing the two of them eager to try, Zhang Zhun knew that the Xiongqi Camp was about to take action, so he asked, "What are your plans?"
Yu Yingyou replied in a passionate tone: "We are going to have a vote between Wuxindian and Baiyangdian!"
After figuring out the situation, Zhang Zhun subconsciously pondered.
The narrow terrain of Wuguandian and Baiyangdian is indeed conducive to the attack of the Huben Army and the muskets of the Huben Cavalry. However, it is precisely because everyone can see the terrain advantages here that the Tartars cannot not be prepared. If the Tartars prepare in advance, the attack of the Huben Cavalry may encounter any accidents. Even the Tartars set up ambush here and wait for the arrival of the Huben Army.
In fact, Zhang Zhun did not know Huang Taiji's deployment. However, in his opinion, since this place was not conducive to the development of the Tartars' troops, Huang Taiji's intelligence would definitely be prepared for a counterattack. He would not easily let his troops be attacked by the Hu Ben cavalry. If the Hu Ben cavalry rushed forward like this, it would be difficult for him to succeed. Maybe he would fall into the Tartars' trap.
"I don't recommend you do this."
Zhang Zhun said slowly.
"Why?"
Xie Zhiyou said with some regret.
Yu Yingyou is also a little regretful. The Bear Cavalry Camp is a newly established army and they need a battle to prove themselves. If they cannot find a combat opportunity, they will be very disappointed.
"Huang Taiji may block your butt! This place is prone to attacks, we know, and Huang Taiji also knows. Since everyone knows the characteristics of the terrain here, they will definitely make corresponding arrangements. From this perspective, the suddenness of the attack no longer exists."
Zhang Zhun said slowly.
"We will leave after we fight, so that Huang Taiji will not be able to catch us."
Xie Zhiyou said a little unwillingly.
"Yes! Let's go after the fight, and we are not afraid of the forward camp coming!"
Yu Yingyou said eagerly.
"Of course, this is OK. Your choice is not wrong. You can indeed leave with just one shot, but the vanguard battalion of the Tartars cannot catch you. But I think you have a better choice."
"If it were me, they would launch another attack after they passed Baiyangdian and Xiongxian. When the Tartars passed by Baiyangdian, they would definitely be vigilant and be fully alert. However, the Tartars were also humans, and their spirits would not last for so long. After passing Xiongxian, they would most likely relax their vigilance. If you suddenly launch an attack at this time, it would definitely surprise them."
"Why don't I agree with you launching an attack in Baiyangdian? Because you are in the first battle. If you encounter an accident in the first battle, the psychological quality of the troops may have problems. The biggest weakness of the new troops is that they may be distracted when facing adversity. I believe you don't want to see this."
"What if, I mean, Huang Taiji's vanguard battalion is very fast and encounters you. Can the soldiers of the Xiongqi Camp face it calmly? Your training time is only three months, and I believe you can't do it. On the contrary, after passing Xiongxian, you will not easily encounter such adversity. It is beneficial to the growth of the troops."
Zhang Zhun said slowly.
Xie Zhiyou and Yu Yingyou looked at each other, then nodded slowly.
After the attack after passing Xiongxian, it is indeed not easy to fall into the enemy's encirclement, and the troops will not fall into adversity. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. The terrain over there is easily dispersed, avoiding fighting, or swimming without fighting, which makes them not have much result in the battle. The two of them want the result.
There is competition everywhere in the Hu Ben Army. While the Xiongqi Camp is in progress, the Lion Cavalry Camp led by Li Zhaohui and Feng Wei are also active nearby. If the Lion Cavalry Camp has established military achievements but the Xiong Cavalry Camp has not opened, they will be embarrassed. Huang Taiji is under pressure, and the officers at all levels of the Hu Ben Army are not under pressure? Who is willing to be a backward member?
"After crossing Xiong County, there is a Baigou River. When the Tartars' large troops arrived there, they must have to cross the river. I suggest you act with the Lion Cavalry Camp and launch an attack when the Tartars cross the river. When the Tartars cross the river, the formation must be relatively dense. If you rogue guns, you should be able to kill many Tartars."
"The Tartars want to swim but not fight, and avoid fighting, but their population and supplies are placed there. Even if they want to run, they can't run too far. They will come back in the end. As long as you wait for those populations and supplies, even if you capture the lifeline of the Tartars, the Tartars can't escape even if they want to escape."
Zhang Zhun suddenly said slowly.
The power of the Bear Cavalry Camp itself is indeed a little weaker. If the Lion Cavalry Camp is added, the troops will be almost 1,300. If an attack is launched suddenly, it is still OK to kill and injured hundreds of Tartars. If the attack is launched repeatedly, the number of people killed and injured by the Tartars will be even greater. Unless the Tartars do not have the population and supplies, they will have to fight. As long as the Tartars fight, the results will come.
The Tartars who first went south were like a group of wild wolves, and they would harm them wherever they rushed and no one could catch them. However, the Tartars are now a dog with iron chains. One end of the chain is tied to those populations and materials. Unless the Tartars do not want these populations and materials, they can break free from this iron chain. However, if the Tartars do not want this iron chain, they will have no results in Nanluo this time.
"I think you should not put your hopes on a battle once, but be prepared to fight a protracted war with the Tartars. From Xiongxian to Tongzhou, there is a distance of hundreds of miles. On this road, the Mongolian cavalry of the Tumot and Halashen tribes are responsible for the guards of both wings. You can ignore the Mongolian cavalry of these two tribes and constantly launch attacks on the target."
"There is no need to pray for killing many Tartars in one battle. As long as you kill some every day, every day, slowly, the results of the battle will accumulate. If you continue to attack the Tartars, you will inevitably exhaust the Tartars and suffer. Perhaps, a big fighter will appear."
Zhang Zhun explained in detail.
Yu Yingyou suddenly said with some concern: "Sir, those hostages..."
Zhang Zhun said deeply: "Let's do our best."
Well, some topics cannot be put on the surface. When the Hu Ben Army cavalry launches an attack like this, the Tartar cavalry will definitely be killed. Similarly, in the melee, some hostages will also die in battle. Even the desperate Tartars will kill all the hostages, rather than leave them to the Hu Ben Army. Therefore, the Hu Ben Army can only say that they can do their best to rescue the hostages. However, they will never dare to attack the Tartar cavalry because of the restrictions on the hostages.
"Abide by the order!"
Xie Zhiyou and Yu Yingyou raised their hands to salute, and then rode their horses away.
The Bear Cavalry Camp and the Lion Cavalry Camp are newly established cavalry teams, with only 500 soldiers in each battalion. Their purpose can only be to delay and harass the enemy. The main force of the Hu Ben Army's cavalry is still in the hands of Zhang Zhun. This is the killing weapon that made Huang Taiji afraid.
