Su Budi was riding on a mottled green horse, holding an awning with his hands, squinting his Mongolian-style slender eyes. He looked at the military formation in front of him warily.
To be honest, he had never seen a large military formation of the Han people in his life.
Since Qi Jiguang's death, the Ming Dynasty has never had a large infantry group of 50,000 people enter the grassland. After Su Budi came to power, he failed to catch up.
Now Duoyan Sanwei has been annexed by Yang Fan. Only Su Budi's tribe escaped intact. Some people who had fled gathered around him.
He was placed by Huang Taiji in the Shuangliao area near Lin Danhan. As the northwest barrier of Shenyang.
Now he was granted the title of Shuangliao Jinong by Huang Taiji, and he had a tribe of 100,000 people, all of whom had fled from Haraqin's hometown and Duoyan Sanwei. There are also those who escaped from other places. The basic source is due to Yang Fan's massive annexation of the Mongolian grasslands.
Yang Fan only wants herdsmen, not nobles. These nobles fled to the Qing Dynasty with their bureaucracy and family members. As the number of soldiers increased in the past two years, Huang Taiji organized them all into the Mongolian banner, with a total of 20,000 strong men.
Now Tushetu Khan was also defeated and fled with some of his tribe. It is now under the banner of Su Budi. Made a small sweat. Su Budi's troops numbered 10,000. He took the initiative to leave the battlefield and did not confront Yang Fan head-on, so he did not suffer any losses.
He now became the largest force among the Mongols in the Qing Dynasty.
Su Buti's status was almost the same as that of Li Yongfang, who commanded the banner of the Han army. Su Buti had 20,000 households and 20,000 strong men, all of whom were cavalry. Li Yongfang's Han army has 40,000 soldiers and 10,000 artillerymen and musketeers.
Now, both the Han Banner and the Eight Banners are stepping up their attack on Chifeng City. Su Budi was ordered to withdraw from the siege of Beicheng. One hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry came to attack the reinforcements. At the same time, because he could not attack for a long time, Huang Taiji had to surround three but one, trying to give the defenders in the city a retreat. To break the will of the defenders.
Huang Taiji didn't expect Madeng Yun to be so difficult to deal with, and he had been fighting for almost a month. The city wall collapsed in more than a dozen places, but it couldn't be brought down. Each time it was repaired overnight.
Tuxietu Khan, Horqin Khan, and Nekalkha Khan all surrounded Su Budi. This time Huang Taiji appointed Su Budi as the commander-in-chief to temporarily control the armies. He also had the highest status as a farmer in the Qing Dynasty.
Ilgentaiji felt very unhappy. He was tricked by An Sanxi's men, lost his tribe, and fled to the Qing Dynasty with only 1,500 households. The strength is only that of a tabunang. This made him feel aggrieved. However, people like Su Budi were people he used to fawn over and look up to. At this time, I can only live under the influence of others.
He went into battle with three hundred of his own cavalry. Others have matured and warned their sons and nephews not to stand out and just follow suit. The important thing is to preserve their strength.
"Dear Jinong, the situation of the Ming army has been clearly investigated. Our strength is twice theirs. In my opinion, we can just attack with cavalry." Nenhorqintaiji pointed into the distance with his riding crop.
There is a road between two hills. The Ming army had foreseen the arrival of the Mongols and prepared the battlefield in advance.
"Surround them on all sides, feint attack on two hills, and focus on their back. Heiyunlong's camp is behind the Zigzag. It is relatively weak there." Su Budi said. "Let's start. The Horqin people go to the east side. The five Khalkha tribes go to the west side. The Wengniute tribe and Irgentaiji go around to the back and attack their central army. I will take Duoyan to attack their front. "
Su Budi's arrangement was very reasonable, and no one could fault it. As Jinong, he led his troops to attack the front. The others attacked from the side, and then sent out a surprise force to attack behind in a detour.
Generally speaking, the front is definitely the hardest to fight, and he also faces attacks from two hills.
Khan, Taiji, and Tabu Nang have no objections. Su Budi's approach was to keep the hardest part for himself. Very generous. Everyone dispersed in a hurry and went back to mobilize their troops.
Trumpets sounded from all sides. The Mongolian cavalry turned around one after another, bypassing the outer perimeter of the army.
Heiyunlong's formation has a formation of ten thousand troops on the front, rear, left and right. In front were ten thousand infantry. On the left and right are infantry formations on small mounds, each with ten thousand people. Behind is the car camp. Block two
Behind the middle of the small mound.
The only cavalry, ten thousand men, was placed on the middle road. as a maneuvering force.
Hei Xiaoming guarded the east hill, Hei Xiaolian guarded the west hill, and Hei Yunlong came directly to the front camp. His lieutenant was stationed at the carriage camp. Guard your back. Two trusted generals each had five thousand cavalry on standby. as an assault force.
The nest car was set up in the military formation of the front camp. Twelve meters high is enough to see beyond the military formation and clearly see the situation ahead. The front was densely packed with Mongolian cavalry, and they were slowly accelerating towards the position.
"Still the same old thing, three waves of charge." Heiyunlong muttered as he looked at the Mongolians.
Five thousand-man troops in the front launched a roller charge. The Mongols would calculate the density of troops that could be accommodated based on the width of the front, and then divide the troops into three waves. Rolling and impacting like ocean waves.
First shoot the arrow, then use the cavalry, then use the lance to attack. Three layers of repeated impact.
If three waves are not defeated, they usually retreat.
While he was talking, the first wave of 5,000 cavalrymen had already charged forward. There were more than 300 people in a row, a total of five rows in one wave. When he rushed to a distance of 100 meters, Ketertabu Nang shouted: Shoot the arrow!
Suddenly, one thousand seventeen or eight hundred arrows flew into the sky with a buzzing sound.
The sky seemed to darken.
These Ming troops were all veterans, and they knew that this was an arrow fired by the other side. They immediately raised their shields and placed them diagonally above their heads to prevent themselves from being shot.
After the first wave of arrows were released, they immediately separated the left and right and ran to both sides. Then go back to the very back. The second wave of cavalry rushed over, and there was another violent sound of bowstrings, followed by another heavy rain of arrows.
Before the third wave of cavalry fired arrows. The black clouds also shrank under the window of the nest car.
Immediately afterwards, there was a chopping sound, and more than a dozen arrows were nailed to the window of the nest car. The wings were still trembling violently.
From the infantry formation below, a wail sounded. Even though they were equipped with a large number of shields, it was impossible for the shields to block all the volleys of arrows thrown from all angles.
Hundreds of people were hit by arrows, some piercing their legs and feet, some in their shoulders, and some in their torsos. They fell to the ground and twitched to death.
This suddenly caused a commotion in the military formation. The entire front line began to become unstable.
The officers immediately dispatched to suppress everyone. With the whip of the horse whip and the roar of the officers, the line gradually stabilized.
"Stay closer together, connect the shields, and leave no gaps. Don't panic, just follow your usual training." The leaders of each battalion loudly reassured the soldiers.
Heiyunlong narrowed his eyes. Having this result in the first round shows that Su Budi still has a few tricks up his sleeve. He is a famous king in Saibei. He has become famous for a long time and is one of the three leaders of Duoyan. And he is the most powerful leader.
Although his soldiers are not many, they are not as good as Khan Ahai and Buyan Ahai. But they are all elite soldiers.
Duoyan was once called "Shubu" by the Ming Dynasty because his name was sometimes translated as Shubudi.
At this time, shouts also came from the small mounds on both sides of the camp, which were also the screams of casualties caused by the rain of arrows thrown. Attacks from both sides also began.
