More than two thousand Mongolian armored horses were galloping on the grassland, the sound of horse hooves resounding.
On the female wall in the pier, Wang Yuncheng, who had not yet left, heard the sound of horse hoofbeats and hurriedly picked up the monocular telescope in his hand and looked in the direction of the sound of horse hoofbeats.
Seeing groups of Mongolian armored cavalry rushing towards the direction of the Tiger Banner cavalry, his face suddenly darkened.
"The Mongols want to take advantage of our cavalry's unstable foothold and try to take a bite out of our cavalry." Yu Huai on the side also noticed this scene and frowned.
Wang Yuncheng snorted coldly and said: "With just such a small number of them, it's like they can eat a whole battalion of our cavalry. I think highly of them."
Although he is not a general of the cavalry battalion, as a senior general of the combat division, he still has confidence in the strength of his own cavalry. Regardless of the small number of his own cavalry, there is no problem if one is equal to ten.
This ratio is not what he said randomly, but the result of the battle between Ma Yunjiu and the armored cavalry battalion and the Mongolian armored cavalry of the Tumote tribe.
"I also believe in the strength of our own cavalry, but don't forget that Ma Shizheng and the others have just arrived and have come all the way from Qingcheng. They must be short of men and horses at this time. How about we support Ma Shizheng and the others?" Yu Huai asked for advice.
Wang Yuncheng turned around, looked at Yu Huai and said, "How do you plan to support him?"
"You can send a thousand-man team out of the city and bring a few four-pound cannons. You can also bring some tiger crouching cannons." Yu Huai expressed his thoughts.
Wang Yuncheng handed the monocular telescope in front of Yu Huai and said: "Look at the place where the Mongols stayed before. There is also a group of Mongolian armored cavalry there. At this time, people are sent out of the fort to support them. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back if I get out.”
After hearing this, Yu Huai hurriedly took the monocular and put it in front of his eyes.
After taking a look, he cursed: "Damn it, these Mongols are really insidious. They actually left a cavalry team behind. This is to cut off our support to the horse division and them."
"Don't treat others as fools." Wang Yuncheng took back the monocular telescope in Yu Huai's hand and continued, "If we want to support our cavalry, we must let our infantry abandon their heavy baggage and use other artillery except the Tiger Crouching Cannon. You can't bring them with you, otherwise by the time the soldiers we send to support arrive, the cavalry side will have already decided the winner."
Yu Huai frowned and said: "The Mongols have left at least half of their cavalry. If our soldiers don't carry cannons, I'm afraid they won't be able to take much advantage in facing the Mongols' cavalry charge. Even if they are not careful, they will be killed." Probably dispersed by cavalry.”
"So it is impossible for our soldiers in the pier to support the cavalry." Wang Yuncheng said.
Yu Huai hesitated for a moment and then said: "Since we can't send people to support, we can provide artillery support. There are two six-pound cannons on the city wall, and the range should be enough."
"When our two six-pound cannons are ready, the cavalry will already be fighting. The Mongols may not be the ones they will fight by then." Wang Yuncheng vetoed Yu Huai's proposal.
Seeing that even artillery fire could not support him, Yu Huai said unwillingly: "Then we just watch here and do nothing?"
Although one is a cavalry and the other is a soldier, they are both soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag.
Now seeing their own cavalry being attacked by the Mongolian cavalry, those of them who were also members of the Tiger Banner could only stand on the female wall of the pier and watch, feeling very uncomfortable.
Wang Yuncheng looked at the direction of the cavalry and said: "I believe in Ma Yunjiu, and I believe even more in our cavalry of the Tiger Flag. They will definitely resist the Mongolian attack and even defeat the Mongolian cavalry."
"This," Yu Huai opened his mouth, then sighed and said, "That's all we can do. I hope Ma Shizheng and the others can defeat the invading Mongolian cavalry."
"Definitely." Wang Yuncheng said seriously.
Yu Huai glanced at him and finally nodded vigorously.
However, the location of the Tiger Banner Cavalry did not have as good a view as on the pier, so the incoming Mongolian armored cavalry was not immediately discovered.
However, there were tiger-character flag squad cavalry patrolling around. When the Mongolian cavalry approached, they were immediately discovered by the patrolling cavalry and the news was passed back.
Before he understood the attitude of the Mongols, Ma Yunjiu ordered his cavalry not to take off their armor even if they were resting, and they could only rest next to their horses.
As soon as they heard the news of the Mongolian cavalry's attack, all the Tiger Banner cavalry who were resting immediately mounted their horses and returned to the team.
When resting, everyone rests together according to their respective teams. It can be said that the nearby companions are all members of the same team.
After mounting the horse, there was no need to look for the team again. The teams were gathered together one by one. Soon the entire cavalry battalion was gathered in one place.
"Raise the flag and attack!" Liu Chao shouted and ordered the flag officer to raise the flag.
Boom! Boom!
Liu Chao led the cavalry battalion and rushed towards the Mongolian cavalry.
A cavalry charge requires a period of time to accumulate strength. Whether it is the Mongolian cavalry or the cavalry of the Tiger Flag, once the two sides pick up speed, they do not need to slow down at all and they collide.
The black iron stream crashed into the ranks of the Mongolian cavalry.
The most primitive fighting is going on on the grassland. No one on either side holds back. All they do is try their best to kill the opponent or pull the opponent down.
One thousand versus two thousand.
The Tiger Banner cavalry, which was numerically inferior, did not allow the Mongolian cavalry to take any advantage.
As soon as the two sides fought, the Mongolian cavalry were helpless in front of the black armor, and were cut off their horses by sabers that shone with cold light.
There are too few Mongolian cavalry wearing iron armor. Even if some Mongolians wear iron armor, they are already rusty. Only God knows how much protection they have left.
In addition to armor, the Mongols also suffered from weapons.
The sabers made of fine iron wielded by the Tiger Banner cavalry can be said to be bloody when struck on the Mongols, and the Mongolians have a variety of weapons in their hands.
There are also Mongolians holding wooden forks for shoveling dung. It is difficult for such weapons to penetrate even leather armor, let alone the iron armor worn by the Tiger Banner Cavalry.
Such a huge personal gap between the two sides presented a one-sided situation from the beginning.
The two thousand-man troops of the Mongols seemed like paper in front of the Tiger Banner cavalry. They did not pose any threat at all, but they had already suffered numerous casualties.
The cavalry on the side of the tiger banner almost went crazy.
Especially those Han people who later joined the cavalry battalion. These Han people were all Han people living on the grasslands. They had been oppressed by the Mongols in the past. This time they could kill the Mongols fiercely. They rushed to kill the Mongolians in front of them one by one. No one steps back.
Of course, with so many cavalry fighting together, they couldn't retreat even if they wanted to.
