Generally speaking, the so-called "Mangu evil" tactic is to pretend to flee while using cavalry fire to continuously harvest the lives of the pursuing enemy. When the enemy's morale collapses, they will turn their horses to kill the generals and turn their escape into pursuit. .
Of course, there are other more detailed parts, so I won’t mention the details for now.
This is the most commonly used tactic by Mongolian elites. In the past, Genghis Khan and his Mongolian warriors used this tactic to defeat one enemy after another and conquer the huge territory of the Great Mongolia across Europe and Asia.
Only then did Ugeqi Hashiha remember that when he first stepped into the camp of these "shepherds", he saw no cattle or sheep at all, nor did he see any children or women who could not escape.
Even the reaction of the "herdsmen" when they fled seemed too clean and tidy, as if they had already expected that someone would come to steal the camp, they got on their horses and started to retreat without looking back. Each and every one of these incidents had actually already made it clear that what was in front of them was a team of well-trained prairie warriors, not just herdsmen who dared not leave the city.
"Ehxiute! Ehxiute!"
He cursed angrily and wanted to pull the sworn detective over and chop off his head. However, now that the army was charging, where could he go to vent his anger? He could only draw the bowstring angrily and shoot an arrow at the despicable traitors running ahead.
But when you shoot an arrow when chasing someone, your range will be compromised. The traitors controlled the distance very well. His arrows hit the horse's buttocks, but they couldn't even break the skin.
"Chasing! Chasing! Chasing!" Ugeqi Hashha was furious and kept pumping up his power.
"Headman, no, we can't chase any more!" A calmer general quickly dissuaded Ugeqi Hashha. "We can't hit their arrows anymore. These people's mangu skills are no worse than ours. They must be those Shanyang Wanhu led by Xu Yungong himself!"
Seeing the warriors around him fall down one by one, Ugeqi Hashha finally reined in his horse. Seeing that the "herdsmen" who were "fleeing in panic" in front of him actually stopped, he gritted his teeth bitterly.
"withdraw!"
The knights turned their horses and headed straight in the direction they came from.
Ugqi Hashiha also expected that those "herdsmen" would come to chase him, and when the time came, he would be able to use Mangu's evil tactics to give them a good look. But those people only stood on their horses and fired a few arrows from a distance, but did not pursue them directly. This made Uge Qiha Shiha a little disappointed, and at the same time he felt more certain that these people must be the elite of the surrendered army under Xu Yungong.
Only they, who are also Mongolians, can stop the great Wara cavalry.
"Exiute! You damn thief!" Ugqi Hashiha had already summoned the scouting horse from before. He was leading the army galloping on the horse while still raising his whip, showing no mercy at all. A bloody whip mark was left on Tan Ma's face.
"You are the one who ensured that these people are all herdsmen! What now? Can the herdsmen use such sharp mangujie? Each of those thousands of herdsmen is an elite!"
"But, but I did see them driving sheep..." The Mongolian prowler's voice sounded a little aggrieved. He also took the risk to get close to these people to investigate, and confirmed that these people were indeed Meng people who were proficient in herding. Who would have thought that those despicable Han people would actually hire Mongolian warriors to pretend to be herdsmen... These Mongolians mounted their horses to kill the enemy, dismounted their horses to graze, and used Mongolian warriors to pretend to be herdsmen. Who would be able to expose this?
"Exiute..." Ugqi Hashiha's language system seemed to have deteriorated in anger, and he cursed this word over and over as he fled on horseback. The calmer General Meng came over and advised: "Headman, you can't go back the way you came. Xu Yungong has tens of thousands of cavalry from thousands of households in Shanyang. Even if he only gives half of it to Xu Yungong, it will be enough. Kill us all."
"Perhaps there are cavalry encircling us behind us, and in order to hide, we have not been able to go out and plunder for more than half a month. The horses and warriors have no food, so there is no way to escape back to the Great Khan."
"Yes, yes." Ugqi Hashha calmed down. He was so angry that he fainted just now. When he was reminded like this, his IQ suddenly reached a high point again. "You can't run to the west. There must be an ambush by Xu Yungong in the west."
"Let's take a detour to the east! They must not have thought that we would go east! The sheep they drove out of the city must not be deceiving. They must have hid the sheep first, and the sheepfold must be hidden in the east!"
To the west is Wala and to the east is Wei. The east side is relatively safer, and Mingren will definitely choose to temporarily place the sheep somewhere in the east side.
"Yes! Find the sheepfold! Steal their cattle and sheep!" the Wala generals shouted. They came all the way to the eastern grasslands, how could they be willing to return empty-handed?
So the Wala cavalry made a beautiful circle on the grassland, bypassed the camps where the elite were stationed, and then headed further east. Seeing that they had successfully bypassed those Mingqi, Ugqiha Shiha was overjoyed. He felt that he was full of wisdom and strategizing. This move of advancing while retreating was simply a stroke of genius.
Even if those bright knights dared to pursue them, it would be too late by now.
With a cry like thunder, Uge Qiha Shiha guessed where Xu Yungong had hidden the sheep, and dispersed his troops to go ahead to look for it. Soon someone came to report that they had found the sheepfold, which was by a lake in the east.
Ugqihashi laughed out loud, laughing at the fact that Xu Yungong had worked hard to plan, but he had to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Thousands of riders made a roar, and soon Ugeqi Hashiha saw the beautiful mirror-like lake in the distance. Sure enough, a large sheepfold was built next to the lake, and Ugqiha Shiha could already see the sheep that looked like white clouds in the sky.
"Come on! Grab these sheep!" he greeted.
He had regained his caution and did not personally participate in the team that plundered the sheep. Instead, he took his personal guards and stayed behind the team to guard. If Xu Yungong and his men catch up, they can easily escape. But Xu Yungong had to lose this large number of sheep. On the grassland, sheep are wealth. With the loss of this large flock of sheep, the people in Yijignai City may not be able to survive this winter.
When spring comes next year, we can easily break through this city.
Ugqi Hashha planned very rigorously.
He saw with his own eyes that the warriors had leapt into the sheepfold, and he was still feeling proud of his plan. However, suddenly I heard someone in front exclaiming: "Huh? These are not sheep!"
Uge Qiha Shiha was startled. He saw a warrior grabbing the "sheep" like white clouds easily in his hand.
"We have been deceived by the Han again! These are not sheep! These are just wool!" Youwala warriors roared loudly.
Ugqi Hashha was stunned. Are these beautiful things like white clouds just wool? Just the most useless thing on the grassland? He knew that the people of the Ming Dynasty could make beautiful and warm sweaters and blankets from wool. However, after severing relations with the Ming Dynasty, the wool of Oarabe had once again become garbage everywhere on the grassland. What's there to grab from a pile of wool? Let the warriors knit felt?
So what about the sheep? Where are the sheep that Xu Yungong drove out of the city to deceive them?
Before Ugeqiha Shiha had time to think about it, he only heard a "boom", and then there was a deafening silence of heaven and earth. The sudden burst of dazzling fire suddenly interrupted his thoughts. In just an instant, the sheepfold with only wool turned into an exploding sea of fire. Ugqiha Shiha even saw that some warriors who entered the sheepfold were blown up into the sky with their horses and men.
"...It's Akito's firearm!" He suddenly reacted. Akito had expected that he would come here and had already set an ambush in the sheepfold.
Regardless of his ears that could not hear anything, his first reaction was to organize the remaining soldiers and continue to escape. However, it was already too late. In the inconspicuous forest by the lake, a tall flag with the word "Yan" had been erected.
"Soldiers, kill the captives!" Ugeqiha Shiha, who finally recovered his hearing, heard the shouts of killing in Chinese that shook the sky.
