At this time, the sun has set and the sky has darkened, but it is not so dark that you can't see your fingers. You can still see your face clearly within ten steps. The Hundreds of Black Tiger Battalion's cavalry fought all the way into the trench formation without torch lighting. On the contrary, Nomqi The Qing army was prepared and lit a lot of torches. At this time, the two armies were in light and darkness.
Tu Yuan shouted and led his troops to charge toward the light. The more than a hundred cavalry were like a rainbow, rolling over the mountains and seas, and like a torrent, they rolled towards the three hundred Tatar cavalry.
The Qing army did not give up, dropped their torches and charged forward...
There were already several bright stars blinking in the sky, torches everywhere were sizzling, and the north wind was whistling past, but they were all suppressed by the killing cries that soared into the sky.
The two torrents collided, causing a roar to break through the sky. Nomuqi clenched his fists behind the formation, and his expression gradually turned from excitement to seriousness. At this time, he realized that he had made a mistake in judgment, and was even a little naive!
The Fourth Battalion of Dongchang is no longer the original Fourth Battalion of Dongchang. They are now called Dongchang Guards. What has changed is not only the name but also the qualitative leap. Before, I felt that they were just like that, not bad, just on par with me, but In front of me... No matter their tactics, fighting spirit, combat effectiveness, individual ability, or teamwork ability, they are completely different from before, and they are far from comparable to me!
Nomuqi always felt that the Dongchang Guards were just like that. This feeling was indeed good. Judging from his courage at the time, the Dongchang Fourth Battalion was indeed like that, and in fact, the Dongchang Fourth Battalion was just like that at that time. Why did he say that? Well, because at that time, the Fourth Camp of Dongchang had only been established for a long time.
The oldest Gongzi Battalion was one of the batch that Chang Yu trained in the palace at the beginning of the year. In less than two months, they were sent to Taiyuan. During the Taiyuan War, they were selected from tens of thousands of troops to form the Black Tiger Battalion and Black Panther Battalion. Two months later, the Ningyuan War broke out. In Ningyuan, the Black Wolf Battalion was formed with Jiang Yu's personal soldiers...
In other words, the first time the Fourth Battalion faced the Qing army was during the Ningyuan War. At that time, they had only established the camp for less than half a year. Although the officers and soldiers in the battalion were all one-in-a-thousand warriors with a certain foundation, after all, the special training time Short, it is not easy to be evenly matched against the Qing cavalry, who are known to be invincible in the world. Winning is a close win, and there is a certain price to pay. This is why Nomqi always feels that it is just like that, just so-so. reason.
Because the gap was really small at that time, the victory was 50-50, and the victory of Dongchang Fourth Battalion was not entirely due to its own strength. At that time, it was a large corps fighting, and the brave Ning Yuan Army and the great eunuch participated in the battle. The use of various insidious tactics!
However, after three days of separation, the soldiers were treated with admiration. For more than a year, the Dongchang Fourth Battalion was either training or fighting in all directions.
See what the Qing army is doing again?
Hiding in Jinzhou City, I suffer from depression. Although there are exercises, there is no actual combat. It is just a group of depressed people training, what can they do!
In recent months, in order to repair Songshan, the two military fortresses in Xingshan and the Ming army have conducted dozens of large and small operations. At best, they have just recovered some strength.
But compared to Dongchang Wei, who has been trained in actual combat all year round, he is no longer on the same level in terms of momentum and strength.
By the time Nomqi realized this, it was already too late. His men had already been bitten by the Black Tiger Camp and couldn't leave even if they wanted to, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry on.
But if you do it, can you do it better than others?
I have more troops!
Whoever has more people will definitely win?
Nomuqi looked at the battle situation, his face was livid and he started to swallow dryly. Aren't they tired? After running for more than a hundred miles and killing one person, they still have such good physical strength. It's unscientific to have such strong fighting power. !
Hey, if we don't say that the gap has become wider, then where is the difference?
Ningyuan is more than a hundred miles away from Xingshan. For the cavalry, it can be reached in half a day if they rush. The Black Tiger Camp starts from early in the morning and arrives in the evening. In other words, they are not traveling in a hurry at all, but sneaking in sometimes fast and sometimes slowly. Yes, although there is a bit of fatigue, it is only a little bit. For Dongchang Wei, this intensity is not as intense as the usual training intensity, and there is still a long way to go before exhaustion.
Endurance and willpower are the strongest and most fundamental qualities of an elite soldier.
As for the fight just now, it was just an appetizer.
For Tu Yuan and his Black Tiger Battalion, the most important thing is to catch Nomuqi in front of him and go back to exchange for drinks. It is also the most exciting thing for the soldiers, so they have been heading straight for this goal from the beginning. .
Soon Nomuqi discovered their intention, which made him panic. He saw Tu Yuan slashing with his knife and heading towards him. No one could stop him wherever he passed, and it took less than half a cup of tea. When they reached him, they were only a few dozen meters away from him.
Looking at his subordinates, more than 300 cavalry were dashed to pieces by the opponent's more than 100 cavalry. They were in a mess and lost their formation. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before they were defeated!
Damn it, I can't let that thief look down upon me. Nomu Qi gritted his teeth and actually swung his sword and rushed towards Tu Yuan with a few soldiers around him. Just a moment ago, he had the idea of evacuating, but Then he thought that this was too cowardly. It was obviously him who kept shouting, but he scurried back and couldn't hold his head up in the army. Not only did the other party look down on him, but Wu Bash who was watching from behind also looked down on him. Moreover, he believed that once he did this If one side is defeated, Wu Bash will definitely come to the rescue. After all, there are still 200 Han troops on Wu Bash's side!
Wu Bashi was watching the battle on Xingshan Mountain at this time, and his expression became more and more solemn. There were two hundred Han troops beside him who were also watching the battle, and their expressions were not optimistic.
The reason why these two hundred Han troops were not put into battle was to prepare for unexpected events, because the missing half of the Black Tiger Camp was unknown at this time. In this dark night, who knew where they came from, so Wu Bashi could not No troops were left in case of any eventuality.
Some people may wonder why they don’t keep Mongolian soldiers around. Wouldn’t it be safer to keep Mongolian soldiers around because they are more brave and good at fighting? If you have this idea, I can only say that you are no different from those foreign dogs in later generations. You always think that foreign adults are the most powerful!
It is undeniable that the nomads are brave. For example, the soldiers of Manchuria and Mongolia have been skilled in riding and shooting since they were young. However, this is also relatively speaking. The population of these nomads is sparse and all the people are soldiers, so everyone feels that they are very powerful. , and the farming people in the interior have a large population, and overall they appear to be weak and sickly, not as brave and good at fighting as others!
If such a comparison is indeed inferior to others, but such a comparison is too extreme and narrow. If you want to compare, you must compare professionally and professionally. Our professional troops have never been overpowered by anyone in business since ancient times. Huo Qubing is far away. Let’s not talk about the outrageous things. Let’s talk about the Ming Dynasty. Since the founding of the country, Mongolia and Houjin have been pressed to the ground and rubbed. Even the Guan Ning cavalry in the late Ming Dynasty was afraid of who!
The Han troops in the Qing army during this period were actually the frontier troops of the Ming army. Among them were the Guan Ning troops, whose combat effectiveness back then was explosive!
It's just that after surrendering to the Qing court in recent years, the organization has been disrupted, the status has been suppressed and excluded, and the combat effectiveness and fighting will have gradually declined. However, compared with the conventional troops in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, they are still stable, and with their colleagues the Manchu and Mongolian troops Not bad at all!
