Chapter 297 Killing the 3 Cavalry of the Begging Yan Department
Chapter 297 Destroy the [-] Cavalry of the Begging Yan Department
Compared with Zhang Jiangong's reclassification of Dali to the Central Plains territory, Ma Shoucheng's action of going north to clear up the Qiyan tribe was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Every town in Dali is fixed, and those cities will not run away with long legs.
But the Qiyan tribe in Mongolia is different. These nomadic tribes originally lived by water and grass, and their residences were uncertain.
In addition, some time ago, the Song army suddenly attacked the Xixia Kingdom. In just a few days, the Xixia king fled to Dajin, and the remaining ministers surrendered to the Song Dynasty.
How could they not know such a big thing?
Only then did the elders of the Qiyan tribe realize that they had caused a catastrophe.
Finally, I understand that the Jin Kingdom and the Xixia Kingdom did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to help the Qiyan Department become stronger, just to have another powerful helper against the Song Dynasty.
It's a pity that they were stunned by the rapidly growing army of their own tribe, thinking that the Qiyan tribe could sweep everything in the world, and even sent someone to assassinate King Zhenbei of the Song Dynasty!
Now that the Great Song Dynasty is calling, it seems that the real target should be his Begging Yan Department, and destroying the Xixia Kingdom is just a way.
Several elders of the Qiyan tribe hurriedly ordered the whole tribe to tidy up the cattle and sheep immediately, dismantle their respective Mongolian packages and put them on carts, and immediately migrated north.
After Ma Shoucheng occupied the Xixia Kingdom, he sent troops to various places to take over the city and gather the surrendered troops, which took more than half a month.
This allowed the people in the old lair of the Qiyan tribe, where there were mostly old and young women and children, tents, cattle, sheep, pens, fences and other sundries, to have enough time to escape to the north.
The clan elders of the Qiyan tribe knew very well that if the Song army's target was really them, it would be useless no matter how early they left, the huge convoy and the many cattle and sheep would not be able to get up fast at all.
As long as the cavalry of the Song people followed the ruts along the way and the traces of cattle and sheep, they could catch up with themselves within a few days.
Several clan elders had to send a letter to Temujin, telling him the whole story.
Temujin was shocked when he received letters from several clan elders, thinking that these old fellows were really confused.
The Mongolian tribes here have not all been taken down yet, yet you dare to provoke the overlord Da Song who is not easily offended by many countries around here!
Although Temujin was very dissatisfied with the outrageous decisions made by several clan elders privately.
But those tribesmen of the Qiyan tribe who are migrating north and fleeing must be saved, because those people are the parents and relatives of the soldiers in their own army.
He had no choice but to send his general Batu to lead an army of [-] to protect the tribesmen who fled north from the Qiyan tribe and stop the Song people from pursuing them.
When Ma Shoucheng led the cavalry of the Changsheng Battalion into Mongolia and killed the former location of the Qiyan tribe, the Qiyan tribe had already fled northward for more than 20 days.
After listening to the scout report on the escape of the Qiyan tribe to the north, how could Ma Shoucheng let these people escape.
This begging department is the culprit who assassinated the son-in-law this time!
If you let the people from the Begging Yan Department run away from him, not to mention Qin Tu and the three of them would not let him go, even he would not be able to forgive himself.
Because the terrain here is flat, there is no danger to defend against an ambush attack. Ma Shoucheng sent a large number of scouts to spread around his army for thirty miles to prevent being attacked by the Mongolian cavalry.
After chasing north again for less than five hundred miles, Ma Shoucheng got the news from the scouts, saying that those who fled from the Qiyan tribe were found less than three hundred miles away.
The brigade of the Qiyan Department has too many horse-drawn things, cattle and sheep, and they can't walk fast at all. They can only walk more than 30 miles a day.
On the contrary, less than a hundred miles behind the brigade of the Qiyan tribe fleeing north, there is a Mongolian cavalry army of about 3 people, who seems to be protecting these people from escaping.
Ma Shoucheng immediately ordered that the army prepare for battle, ready to kill the [-] opponents and stay behind to protect the Qiyan tribe's cavalry army.
Ma Shoucheng knew very well that although the scouts of the Changsheng Battalion on his side were very powerful, they were able to detect the situation and come back safely.
But the members of the Qiyan tribe grew up on horseback since they were young, and the scouts of the Qiyan tribe who are very familiar with this land also found out the news on their side and gave it to the Mongolian who supported the security mission. Cavalry.
Although the Changsheng Battalion has been replaced with new guns, but because this time they are going to fight the cavalry on the prairie, Ma Shoucheng also asked all the cavalry to wear swords.
After all, the charge of the cavalry is very fast. Before you can fire a few rounds with artillery and guns, the cavalry on the other side has already rushed in front of you.
Although the new rifles are equipped with bayonets, they are for fighting against infantry, and it is too disadvantageous for cavalry to fight against them. The bayonet still has an advantage in cavalry collisions.
As expected, Batu, who was in charge of protecting the troops of the Qiyan tribe fleeing northward, was furious when he learned that the cavalry of the Song people had chased them to a place less than three hundred miles away from the migrating tribal brigade. Get rid of this Song army.
Although Temujin specifically told Batu when he came, saying that the Song people's combat power is unparalleled in the world, and they must not fight head-on with the Song people, it is best to outsmart them.
But Batu, who has conquered many tribes in the entire Mongolia these days and is almost victorious in all battles, did not take Temujin's advice seriously at all.
In his opinion, the Song people may be invincible in other places, but if they compete with horses on the Mongolian prairie, their Mongolian Qiyan cavalry can sweep all Song troops.
So after learning that the Song people really dared to chase their own people all the way, deep into the depths of the Mongolian prairie.
Batuna was both surprised and happy. He was so surprised that the number of opponents was a bit large. There were [-] cavalry in the front alone, and [-] cavalry and carts mixed with [-] supply teams behind. Three times as many as our own.
The good news is that he feels that his chance to become famous throughout the prairie has come!
Even Temujin had to treat the Song army with caution. Once he led the [-] Qiyan cavalry to defeat him, wouldn't he have proved that he was even more powerful than Temujin!
When I defeat these Song troops, my prestige in the clan will definitely surpass Temujin, and then I may surpass Temujin and become a profuse khan!
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was about to become Batu, the most powerful Khan in history on the entire prairie, and ordered [-] Mongolian cavalry troops to go to the vicinity of the Song army.
He wants to teach these Song people a lesson on this prairie, let them know who is the master of this prairie, and let them see what horse warfare is!
There is nothing wrong with Batu's thinking. It is very difficult to find [-] cavalry on the Mongolian prairie, not to mention that he is currently commanding [-] Mongolian cavalry.
Now the entire Qiyan tribe has less than 10 cavalry, and the combat power of [-] Mongolian cavalry can basically destroy a small country with ease.
Batu had a good idea. He led his people to sneak near the Song army, and then launched a surprise attack on the Song army.
When the Song people found that their [-] cavalry appeared and mounted their horses to meet the enemy in a panic, the [-] cavalry on their side had already killed the Song people, and at that time the speed of their horses had reached the extreme.
The Song cavalry had just mounted their horses, so it was impossible to withstand the impact of the [-] invincible cavalry on their side, and they could defeat and kill the [-] Song cavalry within the time of a meal.
That's what Batu thought, and he did the same. He led all [-] cavalry to attack, and he didn't even leave anyone to guard the camp where he lived before.
According to Batu's thinking, this is the camp of their Mongolian Qiyan tribe. Even if it is unguarded, no one who passes by here will dare to enter this camp to steal things.
Moreover, they fight more with less in this battle, and only those who can participate in the battle can guarantee their side can win to the greatest extent.
The movement of the [-] cavalry troops of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe had long been detected by the scouts of the Changsheng Battalion and reported to Ma Shoucheng.
He had read the pamphlet given to him by the commander-in-chief Xiao Qi many times, and suddenly thought of the method recorded in the pamphlet of his son-in-law, using the combination of intensive artillery fire and musket array to kill and injure opponents in large numbers.
Ma Shoucheng decided to use the method in this booklet and try it on these [-] Mongolian cavalry.
So Ma Shoucheng ordered to choose a low-lying place to camp quickly.
Not long after, the army found a high depression around it. Ma Shoucheng was very satisfied after seeing it, and ordered to quickly set up the camp in the middle of the depression.
In order to let the commander-in-chief of the [-] Mongolian cavalry think that this is indeed a big camp where their ever-victorious camp camped here to rest.
Ma Shoucheng ordered [-] cavalry troops to tie up their horses in this camp, and left the Huotou army to bury pots and make food in the camp.
He led [-] cavalry and [-] soldiers who had no horses and only carried new-style muskets, and hid all the mortars and ammunition on the east and west sides of the camp.
The [-] cavalry troops hid on the west side, while Ma Shoucheng brought [-] infantry troops to the east side, and began to deploy troops to dig the trenches described in the pamphlet according to the dense artillery and gun formations in the pamphlet.
In order to prevent the scouts from the Qiyan tribe coming from the back and discovering these two ambush soldiers on the east and west sides, Ma Shoucheng put all the scouts in the north of these two ambush soldiers and hid them well. He must ensure that all the begging Yan tribes came to these two directions. of all scouts.
Batu is also a Mongolian veteran who has spent half his life fighting everywhere on the Mongolian grasslands.
When he led [-] cavalry from the Qiyan tribe to the camp fifty miles away from Changsheng Camp, he ordered everyone to dismount and rest.
Hurry up to feed the horses with fodder, and the soldiers eat to replenish their physical strength and recharge their energy. Fortunately, when they raided the Song army for a while, their physical strength remained at their best, and they sent scouts to investigate the situation of the Song camp.
Half an hour later, the scouts who went out to investigate the middle road came back and reported that it was indeed the camp of the Song army, because there were tens of thousands of horses in the camp.
Although not many people were seen walking outside, the scouts guessed that those Song soldiers were probably resting in their tents, because all the Huotou soldiers of the Song people were walking around outside, and they were busy making food.
It is estimated that these Song soldiers are going to have dinner before dark, and take advantage of the night to sneak attack on their camp.
Hearing this situation, Batu was convinced that those Song people were really resting. As a Mongolian cavalry, Batu knew very well that every cavalry would not be far away from his horse.
This news made Batu ecstatic. As for the scouts sent to the east and west sides to check the news did not come back, Batu thought they hadn't found anything suspicious, so he went all the way to the back of the Song people's camp to check the situation.
Batu was also very sure of the judgment of the scouts in the middle, thinking that the Song people were sleeping at this time, intending to attack their camp of 3 people at night after dark.
With such a judgment, Batu can bear it. Anyway, he has rested for half an hour, although the team is still far from resting to the peak state.
But this time is the best time to attack the Song people's camp. After the Song army is up and then launches a sneak attack, there will definitely be some resistance.
After waiting for a long time for those Song people to get up, how can it be so easy to attack the camp while they are all asleep now!
Batu immediately summoned [-] men to mount their horses and told them that the Song army in front was sleeping in the camp. Everyone must not miss this best opportunity to attack the camp.
Not long after, Batu led the [-] excited Qiyan cavalry, and appeared at a high place six or seven miles north of the camp ordered by Ma Shoucheng.
Batu rode on the horse and looked at the big camp built in the middle of the depression, laughed loudly, and said to his men:
"It is said that the people of Song Dynasty are unparalleled in combat power, I am!
A group of idiots who didn't understand horse warfare at all built the cavalry camp in a low-lying place, although it avoided the cold wind on the prairie.
However, when they encountered an attack on the camp, they lost the greatest advantage of the cavalry, so that they could only fight against the cavalry rushing from a high place from a low place.
These Song soldiers are dead today!
Come on, rush into the Song army camp, kill his mother, rob his mother!kill! "
After shouting, Batu drew out his scimitar and swung his scimitar, and the [-] cavalry around him rushed out like a flood, rushing straight to the Song army camp.
After rushing out for three or four miles with the [-] Qiyan cavalry, Batu suddenly felt something was wrong!
The movement of their [-] cavalry charging together can be described as earth-shattering.
But among the tents on the opposite side, not a single Song Jun ran out.
Even the fire-headed soldiers who buried pots and cooked food in the big camp just looked up at themselves and others from time to time, and then continued to cook their meals, as if they were not 3 people but three people.
Batu suddenly realized that he had been fooled, this camp was a trap!
He shouted loudly, trying his best to stop the [-] cavalry on his side, but the cavalry who had already charged a few miles, their horse speed was already quite high, and they couldn't stop if they just said stop!
At this moment, a series of 'boom', 'boom', and 'boom' sounds suddenly sounded from the east. Before they could see clearly what was going on in the east, a series of violent explosions exploded among the group of Qiyan cavalry.
"Boom"'boom''boom' was an endless roar, as if there was no time to stop, and then Batu saw the appearance of the legendary hell.
The bloody stumps all over the sky, the voices that were excitedly shouting to kill all the Song people just now, turned into horrified shouts and wailing!
Before Batu could give the order to retreat, a cannonball fell beside him. Batu and the war horse he was riding were overturned to the ground. The madman who wanted to become the Great Khan was instantly killed.
At this moment, the cavalry of the Qiyan tribe seemed to have fallen into hell. Although the falling shells killed and injured many people, more cavalry of the Qiyan tribe were thrown off by their frightened horses. Trampled to death by a frightened war horse!
