Yang Fan rode his horse and stood on a hill, using his telescope to look at the group of tents on the edge of the Yellow River. covet
Under the lens of the low-light night vision device, there is a green world.
The Mongols were all asleep, except for a few sentries, leaning on their spears, dozing off. Apparently, they didn't expect enemies to come. Because the troops sent by Ningxia Town were all infantry, there was no way they could catch up.
They marched hurriedly here, where they could sleep peacefully for a day and night. Then they gathered together boats and sheepskin rafts and crossed the river calmly.
The Yinchuan Plain in Ningxia is said to be blocked by Jiangnan. If you have a chance, grab a ticket. There is no chance of climbing over the Helan Mountains and leaving. So, after having a big meal tonight, they all slept soundly.
Yang Fan's lips curled into a sneer. That's what he guessed.
The reason why he persisted in pursuit regardless of fatigue was to catch up with them here.
Because they had no idea that Yang Fan had the strongest cavalry in East Asia. Not to mention them, Zhenglan Banner also hated the Haraqin Grassland back then. covet
This is an army that is made into steel. Although there are only 3,600 people, their training, their equipment, and their combat experience. They are all already leaders at this time.
"Everyone dismount, eat something, drink some water, and then sleep for an hour. Charge at dawn. Kill this and go to the food court." Yang Fan ordered.
"Here!" the generals shouted loudly.
The generals dispersed, arranged their camps to seize the time, replenished water and food, and rested as soon as possible. Get ready for the coming war.
Yang Fan lay in the same sleeping bag as everyone else and fell into a deep sleep.
To be honest, although Yang Fan's body has been far better than ordinary people after undergoing breathing and breathing training, he still felt tired after these three days and three nights of marching.
He is like all servants. I tore open the naan in the bag and ate some with water. Then the horse was fed water with added salt and a handful of soybeans. Get into your sleeping bag and sleep. covet
This kind of soybean is a necessity for Yang Fan's cavalry at this time. Spray with salt water and fry until cooked. Both humans and horses can eat it. It's easy to produce gas. In addition, whether it is to supplement calories or protein, it is a good choice.
An hour later, Yang Fan was woken up by Zhang Qida while he was sleeping.
"Sir, the time has come."
Yang Fan got excited and sat up. Looking at the morning star in the sky, it is about to dawn.
Each battalion head was hiding behind the sand dunes and had already begun to pack sleeping bags and bundle them on their horses. Then sort out military uniforms and inspect weapons and ammunition.
Each battalion head began to get on their horses and organize their teams.
Yang Fan mounted his horse and slowly walked up to the top of the mound with his family members. Not far away was the camp of eight thousand Mongolians. covet
At this time, slaves and servants who had gotten up early began to go to the river to fetch water and collect dried cow dung to prepare for cooking. As soon as the nobles get up, they need to eat immediately. If they don't want to be whipped, they have to work harder.
Yang Fan waved his hand silently and rode down the mound first. The cavalry behind him were like a tide, following over the mound and moving forward.
The speed gradually increased, and soon the cavalry was trotting.
Horse hooves shook the earth. Awakened the sleeping Mongolians.
Because Yang Fan's cavalry came from the sand before. The Mongols could not hear the sound of horse hooves shaking the earth. They had no idea that the Ming army was already under their noses.
This time, the cavalry's horses stepped on solid ground. Immediately the Mongolian who was sleeping on a hollow pillow was awakened.
Wuri Gengda Lai sat up and said in disbelief: "Ten thousand horses, one mile away. How is this possible!"
However, there was no room for him to think too much at this time.
If the other party can pinpoint their psychology and come to kill them at this critical moment, these people will definitely be powerful enemies.
Half a day later, they crossed the river. One day earlier, his own soldiers and horses were maintaining the utmost vigilance. But now, everyone relaxed and slept like a dead pig.
He quickly grabbed the leather robe, put on his placket, and picked up the
Scimitar burst out of the tent.
At this time, countless Mongolians came out of their tents in a panic, wearing clothes indiscriminately, whistling, and calling for their horses to come over. Hurry up and prepare your saddle. You can't fight the enemy while riding bareback.
"Hatur, Hatul, keep an eye on Jinong and don't get lost." Wurigeng Lai shouted loudly. The war is in chaos, so Buno must be protected, otherwise his plan will be completely ruined.
At this moment, the cavalrymen who had formed a line were already running fast, with thousands of horses galloping down from the heights like an avalanche. covet
This is a temporary camp, not even a horse. You can rush over with confidence.
The Mongolians who had already put on their clothes quickly got on their horses and faced the enemy. There were also many naked people who had no time to put on clothes.
They saw that the other party had already begun to rush forward. Immediately some grabbed their bows and arrows, while others picked up their spears and headed towards the enemy.
They were not brave enough, because the place where they camped was facing the Yellow River to the west. To the east is a small plateau. The enemy rushed down from the high ground and they had nowhere to escape.
Not many Meng people know how to swim. If they are driven into the river, they will only drown.
More than a dozen Taijis were shouting and organizing their subordinates to prepare to face the enemy. At this point, it was too late.
Not to mention getting on horseback and forming an array, there was no time to even get dressed. Many people have bare buttocks. It was too late for the horse to get into the saddle. covet
If you are good at riding, you can just saddle up and ride forward to meet him. They have to go forward and play deep. otherwise. The enemy rushed down from the heights and took advantage of the terrain to drive them all down the river.
"Come on! Stand on the wall and drive them into the river." Yang Fan shouted loudly.
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!" More than three thousand people roared and raised their sabers, raising the bright sword into the jungle. At this time, the red and huge sun jumped out of the ground. Under the sunlight that jumped out on the horizon, the saber flashed with dazzling brilliance.
At this time, the Jia Ding Regiment, the cavalry regiment that had experienced the most battles, was no longer a rookie who could only rely on the firepower of firecrackers to fight the Mongols.
For more than two years, they have been fighting, getting stronger and stronger. At this time, the level of hand-to-hand combat had surpassed the level of the Mongols thanks to modern cavalry drills and swordsmanship training.
This is also the reason why Yang Fan dares to fight hand-to-hand.
Yang Fan has always felt that an army in the cold weapon era cannot rely solely on the dimensionality-reducing strikes of firearms to crush the enemy. Because the battlefield is ever-changing. Firearms are not guaranteed to work in all climate conditions. Therefore, hand-to-hand combat skills must be passed. covet
Moreover, Yang Fan always felt that infantry who couldn't fight with bayonets, cavalry who couldn't fight with horse's necks and fought hand-to-hand were just vases. It cannot withstand the test of cruel war.
The enemies they will face in the future will be more ferocious than the last, and each will have more advanced technological weapons than the last.
If they cannot meet certain standards under various conditions, they will not be able to become a true iron army.
Wu Rigendailai narrowed his eyes. He had never seen such an army before.
Uniform and straight clothing, uniform sabers, both men and horses are clothed in commoners, without armor. However, the cavalrymen in rows of ten came in like a wall. With an overwhelming momentum.
When did the Ming Dynasty have such elite cavalry?
Fortunately, they have three horses per person. Although there are tens of thousands of horses, they only have more than 3,000 people. We still have a huge numerical advantage here. Almost three to one. covet
"Follow me and let these Ming people know that we are their ancestors in cavalry." Wu Rigeng replied loudly. At the same time, he whipped the horse's butt hard, and the horse rushed out like an arrow.
