Woo! Woo...woo!
The horn sounds on the grassland.
The Mongolian army began to move slowly towards the Tiger Flag camp, and stopped when it was still five or six miles away.
"Old Taiji, you make the arrangements!" The fortune-telling rabbit on horseback told Kankantada.
Kankantada bowed to the fortune-telling rabbit, and then said to Azig: "Ajige, you lead the three thousand warriors of the Haraqin tribe to bypass the camp in front and attack the Dunbao of the Tiger Flag from the left. "
"Yes." Azig agreed and left on horseback.
Kankantada looked at a Taiji on the other side and said: "Sukhbamon, you lead three thousand soldiers to attack the fortress of the Tiger Flag from the right. Remember, don't get close to the Tiger Flag's camp. Only attack the fortress behind."
"I have the order." The Sukhba beast of the Ulut tribe rode away.
Not long after, two Mongolian cavalry detached themselves from both wings of the army, one on the left and one on the right, galloping towards the fortress of the Tiger Flag in front.
After giving the order, Kankantada summoned the sentinels from his tribe and ordered: "Mo Rigen, you lead a team of sentinels to keep an eye on the battlefield. If anything unexpected happens, come back and report it immediately."
"Yes." Mo Rigen agreed, leading his team of sentinel cavalry to leave the army and follow the two Mongolian cavalry.
After arranging everything, Kankantada said to Bushitu: "Great Khan, everything is ready. Next, it depends on who is the first to break through the fortress of the Tiger Flag." .”
"With Lao Taiji's arrangement, Ben Khan can rest assured. However, should we send some more men to accompany the two of them to attack the fortress of the Tiger Flag?" Bu Shitu said with some worry.
There had already been a defeat, and he did not want this attack to become a second defeat, otherwise it would damage the morale of the army too much.
Kankantada smiled and said: "Don't worry, Great Khan. Yesterday, the sentry cavalry detected that the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag were outside their forts. As long as Azig and Sukhba avoid the Tiger Flag's camp, , we will definitely be able to capture the fortress of the Tiger Flag."
He is confident.
Seeing that Kankantada was so confident, Bu Shitu became more confident. Moreover, this time he sent 6,000 cavalry, even the border troops of the Ming Dynasty had to avoid their sharp edges. He did not believe that the soldiers of the Tiger-Character Banner would Even more powerful than the Ming Dynasty's border troops.
Six thousand cavalrymen were galloping on the grassland with the sound of horse hooves.
Wherever they passed, pieces of soil were pulled out by the horses' hooves, and the weeds on the ground were either trampled into the mud by the horses' hooves, or broken into pieces by the horses' hooves.
After the cavalry army passed by, the weeds in the places they passed were much shorter than in other places.
Behind the tiger-shaped flag car formation at the front, Zhang Sancha looked at the rushing Mongolian cavalry army through a monocular telescope, and his eyes jumped several times.
Last time Mongolia only sent a thousand-man troop. Although it was also cavalry, it was far less shocking than this time.
"Have the pits been dug?" Zhang Sancha's Adam's apple squirmed.
Cao Guang on the side said: "Don't worry, all the horse traps have been cleared. The Mongols will not get close to our car formation unless they lose hundreds of cavalry."
In order to guard against the Mongolian cavalry, the soldiers of the Seventh Soldier Battalion dug many horse traps overnight.
"Let the Fire Gun Team prepare. There are too many Mongolian cavalry coming this time. It will be difficult to repel the enemy just by shelling and trapping horses. In the end, we have to rely on the Fire Gun Team to resist." Zhang Sancha said with a serious expression.
Cao Guang on the side nodded and said: "Fortunately, we replaced the new rifles before we came here, otherwise the fire gunmen would not be enough." Ninth
"When you get a new rifle, you must fight the enemy bravely. The messenger, go and tell the artillery team that they are allowed to fire on their own without waiting for orders." Zhang Sancha's own messenger explained.
An orderly soldier with an order flag on his back turned and ran towards the station where the artillery team was located.
Cao Guang was lying on the side of the cart, looking at the approaching Mongolian cavalry army in the distance. He swallowed and said, "It's a pity that we don't have enough cannons. If we had enough cannons, we could kill hundreds of them in one round." Let’s see if the Mongols still dare to be so arrogant.”
Six thousand cavalry were running in front of him, as if he saw thousands of troops approaching, which brought him great pressure.
"The Mongols have divided their forces." Zhang Sancha, who had been staring at the six thousand cavalry in the distance with a telescope, suddenly said.
Cao Guang looked over quickly.
As far as the eye can see, the rushing Mongolian army is divided into two cavalry teams, one on the left and one on the right.
"This is planning to outflank us!" Cao Guang said with a frown.
Zhang Sancha said at this time: "You go to the left. You will command another thousand-man team. As long as they dare to approach, they will be beaten hard. I don't believe these Mongolians are not afraid of death."
"Okay, I'll go over there right away." Cao Guang turned around and ran towards the Thousand Man Team on the left.
However, just when they were ready for a bloody battle, the Mongolian army did not get closer. Instead, they made a large circle and got further away from the car formation.
Zhang Sancha frowned when he saw this scene, unable to understand the formation in front of him.
However, when the two Mongolian cavalry bypassed the car formation, Zhang Sancha realized that the Mongols were unwilling to fight with him here and wanted to directly attack the fortress behind.
When he discovered this situation, he shouted: "Herald, my order."
A soldier on the side came up to him and said, "The camp is in full swing. The messenger went to the artillery station and hasn't come back yet."
After hearing this, Zhang Sancha remembered that his messenger had been sent out. He immediately looked at the soldier who spoke and said, "Go back to the camp immediately and tell Chen Yingzheng that the Mongols want to Let’s make a sneak attack on the fort at the back and ask again if we want to withdraw from the car formation. Go quickly.”
The soldier put away his gun, turned around and ran towards the camp behind.
Zhang Sancha looked at the soldiers running to the camp with a worried look on his face.
Although the construction of the pier at the back has not yet been completed, a fort wall more than one foot high has been built to resist the attack of the Mongolian cavalry. There are still two thousand-man teams in the pier. It is not easy for the Mongols to break through. But there are still thousands of civilians in the fort. Once the civilians in the fort are confused by the appearance of the Mongolian army, it will easily involve the strength of two thousand-man troops.
He only hoped that Chen Xunping would also discover the Mongolian intentions and send a troop of troops in advance to support the two thousand-man teams in the Dunbao.
The Mongolian cavalry went around from both sides, which actually made the car array safer.
Cao Guang returned to Zhang Sancha at some point and said in surprise: "What do the Mongols want to do? I even took off my pants, but they left. I was worried for a long time in vain."
"The Mongols don't want to tangle with us here, so they went straight to the Dunbao behind." Zhang Sancha said in a deep voice.
Cao Guang raised his eyebrows and said: "There are only two thousand soldiers in the Dunbao, but there are thousands of civilians. Otherwise, let's return to the camp and discuss with Chen Yingzheng whether we can support the Dunbao." there."
"I have sent people back to the camp. I believe the news will come back soon." Zhang Sancha said.
Cao Guang turned around and looked at the camp built with wood behind him.
