Chapter 201: The Horn of Attack
Geng Zhanghua had long regarded Huang Yi as a relative and was really worried about Huang Yi. He advised:
"No eyesight, I suggest you take it easy and don't always rush to the front. If something happens to you, how can I explain it to my sisters?"
"Why are you advising me? I also want to suggest that you'd better go and fight! If anything happens to you, I will definitely not be able to see your brother and sister."
"I originally knew that the Seleng tribe's strength ranks either second or third among the Karaqin tribes. It has a population of 10,000 to 20,000 people, and there are probably 4,000 to 5,000 string controllers.
Such a tribe should have some fighting capacity. We cannot win with just one charge. We may have to charge repeatedly to kill them many times!
Now I ask you to promise me that when we fight with the Seleng tribe tomorrow, you are not allowed to be the first to charge!"
Huang Yi said truthfully: "I'm fine. I came back from overseas. In fact, I don't belong to this era. Maybe dying in battle is actually a kind of sublimation!"
"Fucking sublimation, if you sublime, won't my two sisters have to remain widows?"
"No, you must find a good family for them to get married to."
"Bah! Don't you know how to live well?"
"Of course I want to live a good life, and I also want to serve the country loyally. I will destroy the slaves in the Ming Dynasty, subdue Liaodong, and Chaotianque!"
This is of course not Huang Yi's truth. He is a modern man, how can he be loyal to the emperor? Besides, Emperor Chongzhen is just a child.
This child has too many shortcomings. He is stubborn, has no ability and lacks judgment, but is extremely diligent.
The more he did, the more he made more mistakes. In the end, everyone betrayed his relatives and abandoned his family. Before he died for his country, only the eunuch Wang Chengen stayed with him.
Huang Yi based himself outside the Great Wall and established a new organizational structure to ensure that residents have houses and farmers have land, and that land annexation is prohibited. It may not be absolutely fair, but he will do his best to achieve relative fairness.
First rely on Ming, then cannibalize Ming, and then replace Ming.
He has a great dream, which is to make the Pacific Ocean an inland sea for countries with Han as the majority, but he cannot admit it frankly to Geng Zhanghua.
Geng Zhanghua rolled his eyes and said: "You take the lead in every battle, how are you prepared to live well? It looks like you are seeking death!"
"Hey! I'll pay attention next time. You must pay more attention."
"We are the commander-in-chief. If we are killed, it will mean nothing if our subordinates win."
"So you, the number one general, must not make any mistakes, Geng Qi!" Huang Yi said and lightly kicked Geng Qi, who had begun to snore.
Geng Qi jumped up in excitement, stood at attention and said: "The humble post is here!"
"Your first priority tomorrow is to protect the General. When I lead my troops to attack the Seleng Department, you must not let the General charge in person!"
"As you command!"
Geng Zhanghua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked: "What about you?"
"I tried to slow down as much as I could, instead of rushing forward to kill him, I shot him with a crossbow!"
"Does it make a difference?"
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of caution and there is no way I will die in the hands of the Karaqin Tartars!"
After Huang Yi's soldiers and horses arrived one after another and started to attack, the speed of the advance suddenly accelerated, and it was fast enough.
But there are still many fish that slipped through the net and escaped to the winter camp in Selengbe.
Seleng did indeed personally lead the troops to attack Hedanbaatar. There were two sons and a few trusted old subordinates who managed the camp on his behalf.
After they received the information that thousands of Xuan cavalry were coming to kill them, they were in disbelief at first, and then panicked.
Gu Yan
Escape is impossible, our family is small, our belongings are small, and our hope for next year is here, so we can only bite the bullet and fight.
As a result, the entire camp was preparing for war. At the same time, three messengers rushed westward. They were going to report Seleng to return reinforcements quickly.
However, Huang Yi's troops arrived too quickly, and the troops left behind in Seleng tribe only had four or five hours to prepare.
Oh no, in fact, they didn't make any defensive preparations, but gathered as many people as possible to face each other in formation.
If you don't know the truth, it will make the invading enemy think that the Selen tribe can still gather three or four thousand knights.
It's a pity that Huang Yi knew the details of the other party and could guess that more than half of the three to four thousand knights were old and weak. Only the front row was armored cavalry, and the total number did not exceed 200.
More than 300 pieces of armor were captured, and the number of our own armored knights was close to 2,200.
All the warriors are young and middle-aged, their total number exceeds the number of the opponent's organization, and their combat effectiveness is at least three times that of the opponent.
This battle is certain to be won, and a record number of seizures will be achieved.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Although we are not meeting on a narrow road at this time, it is still the brave who wins.
Use the fiercest attack to knock out the armored cavalry of the Seleng tribe who are supporting the facade, and the battle will turn into a one-sided cover-up, which will minimize your own casualties.
Seleng's two sons and a group of nobles simply pulled out all those who could ride horses and the broken soldiers who had just come to defect.
The purpose is to create the illusion that there are many troops and horses to make the opponent hesitate, and even hope that the opponent will give up the attack for fear of too many casualties.
At the very least, it makes the opponent think twice and buys time for the main force to come back to support.
How could they possibly know that Huang Yi was determined to conquer the prairie and had been investigating and studying the Haraqin tribes.
This time it was an excellent opportunity to take advantage of some of Sha Leng's soldiers to kill the big fish head, but now it was just a short shot.
After the formation was completed, the troops left behind in Seleng knew that they were pretending to be outnumbered to scare people, and of course they could not attack on their own initiative.
Huang Yi knew the details of the opponent, so he didn't panic and didn't rush forward immediately. Instead, he asked the soldiers to dismount, rest, check their equipment, and stretch their muscles.
If you are already dismounted, don't you worry about your opponent suddenly rushing over?
Huang Yi never despises his opponents. He always likes to use superior force to beat his opponents in groups, and he is never arrogant.
All the soldiers dismounted to rest, build up their strength, and prepare for a surprise attack, which was of course the job of the Five Hundred Musketeers.
As long as the opponent dares to charge, the five hundred musketeers will definitely fire all the lead bullets when the enemy cavalry approaches to about a hundred paces.
Three hundred heavy infantry spearmen on horseback formed a formation and thrust forward with their 1-foot-2-foot spears.
With this time, the cavalry is enough to mount their horses, jog, speed up, and charge.
Facts have proved that the opponent was worried about being exposed and did not dare to play a move to gain the upper hand.
If you don't dare to strike first, then I won't be polite. Huang Yi shouted, "Everyone is here, kill them!"
This time he did not shout loudly: "Kill the Tatars!" because about two thousand of his cavalry were Mongolians.
This is why he must take the lead in every battle and be a hero!
Simple-minded people tend to follow blindly. The more brave and tenacious Huang Yi is, the more he will win the support of the Mongolian cavalry.
If this kind of battle still adopts the method of driving the Mongolian cavalry to charge and leading the Han cavalry to suppress the formation, even if it is won, the morale of the Mongolian cavalry will be shaken.
