Chatterjee's army moved forward at the optimal speed, which would neither tire the horses nor go too slowly. But after all, Tu Rigen's lightning-quick reporting worked. When he arrived with six thousand elite cavalry about seven or eight miles away from Xin Ai's old camp, Xin Ai had already organized a team of more than ten thousand people west of the old camp.
The speed of this gathering and the whole team was slightly beyond Chatterji's expectations. He originally thought that the opponent should gather less than 10,000 people at this time.
In fact, this mistake cannot be blamed on Qataiji's poor estimation ability, because he did not know that Xin Ai had already gathered the tribe around the old camp because he planned to march westward as soon as Tumen arrived.
But now that the matter has come to this, Chaterji's previous plan of attacking in two directions and preventing the other party from gathering must change.
Generals like Chatterji do not rely on the combat skills learned from reading military books, but rely on "talent and experience" to fight. Therefore, facing this situation, he does not need to analyze each point like an "academic general". The current various pros and cons of both sides, but directly ordered: "Everyone follow me - attack from the right!"
His change of approach was very simple, from attacking on the left and right into one attack. This was a simple "concentration of forces" thinking. Chatterjee may not know the theoretical roots of concentration of troops, but this in no way prevents him from using it flexibly.
From ancient times to the present, there have been countless famous generals. Who knows if there are even half of them who are really familiar with the art of war?
There is no need to give orders in the Mongolian army about how to control horses. Qataiji himself leads the way, and his speed is the basis for the army behind to automatically adjust the horse speed.
Chatterjee did not immediately slap the horse and run wildly, but just clamped the horse's belly slightly and let the horse accelerate slowly - just like the driver of a car in later generations "linear acceleration" rather than "a kick on the floor".
After all, a war horse is a living creature. No matter how strong the body is, how many times can it withstand a "kick on the floor"? Therefore, the Mongolian generals who are experienced in riding combat will not engage in such tricks unless absolutely necessary. This is not a riding competition. What is required is the consistent action of the entire army.
Xin Ai looked at Qiatarji's actions in the west of the camp, and her face became even more gloomy. She said solemnly: "Where is Borha Rabbit?"
Borha Rabbit raised his head and replied: "Echige, I'm here."
Xin Ai wanted to yell at him when she saw such an idiot, but when she thought that the reason why he raised his head was because he had just suffered a nosebleed, he swallowed his words and said with a cold face: "Take your own warriors to snipe Tuotuo." , he must not be allowed to complete the encirclement attack."
Borha Rabbit knew that he had no choice but to retreat. If he continued to shirk, Echige would probably kill his son on the battlefield to boost morale, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Yes, Echige, but my headquarters only gathered one person." There are more than 1,200 people, I'm afraid..."
Xin Ai said coldly: "I'll give you another eight hundred." After a pause, he added: "I didn't ask you to defeat him. Your mission is to snipe the enemy and delay him. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Borha Rabbit nodded, then immediately turned around and shouted: "Did you hear what Huang Taiji said? Let's stop Tuotuo!"
The Mongolian warriors under his command also know how dangerous the situation is today, but they have no way out and can only fight bravely - the brave have a glimmer of hope, while the cowards only die!
"Stop Tuotuo!"
"Stop Tuotuo——"
Seeing the Borha rabbit's morale suddenly boosted, Xin Ai calmed down a little.
Although this kid has no ability and is addicted to drinking and sex, he still knows how to fight to the death when life and death is at stake. He barely insults the noble blood of the Golden Family.
Qataiji, who was rapidly approaching Xin Ai's left wing, smiled coldly when he saw a group of soldiers and horses shooting out of Xin Ai's army.
He knew that Xin Ai would definitely be able to see his intentions and would definitely send someone out to attack, but...
Two thousand people want to stop the six thousand fine cavalry led by me, Tuo Tuo? Humph, are you Chi Laowen or Subotai?
Although Qataiji despised the opponent, he was not careless at all. When he saw the opponent rushing towards him with great momentum, he did not even increase the speed of his horse immediately, but looked coldly at the young man who took the lead.
Borha rabbit?
Chatterji, who had excellent eyesight, immediately saw the inexplicable and ferocious face of Borha Rabbit, and then without saying a word, he used a bow with one hand and an arrow with the other. He did not need a rein at all and only relied on his legs to control the horse.
Suddenly, his slightly slumped body suddenly sat upright, holding the eagle bow like a full moon. He almost didn't even take aim, then fired an arrow, and it shot out like a meteor chasing the moon!
Qataiji's reputation as the "Zhebie Shenshe" is too great! The moment he sat upright, Borha Rabbit knew that he was going to shoot himself. He almost subconsciously lowered his head and bent down, trying to lie on the horse's back to minimize the possibility of being shot.
However, if Zhebie's divine shot is so easy to avoid, can it still be called Zhebie's divine shot?
The moment Borha Rabbit lowered his head, the arrow that was shot suddenly without any aiming action had already hit him.
Although Borha Rabbit lowered his head as fast as possible, the arrow was still hit... on the helmet.
The helmet style of the Mongolian army is quite different from that of the Ming army. The style is like an iron bowl, with a brim-like roll on the edge of the standard bowl mouth.
It stands to reason that when Borha Rabbit lowers his head, the round helmet should have a good deflection effect on the arrow. Even if it hits the target, it should slide to the side.
However, an accident happened. After the "clang" on the head of Borha Rabbit, Borha Rabbit fell directly from the horse and let out a more miserable howl than before when he hit his nose.
A keen-eyed rider glanced over and saw the Borha rabbit rolling on the ground a few times, holding the helmet and pulling it out hard...
Everyone gasped, the arrow actually shot through Borha Rabbit's helmet, and the arrowhead was embedded in his skull!
Helmets and skulls are extremely hard objects. Chatterji's "accidental arrow" did not directly pierce the Borha Rabbit, including its helmet and skull, but it was so powerful that it was enough to make people frightened!
Xin Ai, who was concentrating even more nervously in the Western Camp, also saw this scene. He couldn't help but be shocked. He grabbed the riding crop with all his strength and said to himself: "This guy's strength has only declined so much compared to when he was in his prime. A little bit?"
"Zhebie Shenshe!"
"Zhebie Shenshe——"
The army behind Chatterji shouted loudly.
But Chatterji himself darkened slightly - he did hit the target, which shows that his vision, reasoning and shooting skills have not declined, but he himself knows that his strength has declined.
Because, if it were ten years ago, this arrow would have completely penetrated the helmet and skull.
As expected, everyone will grow old.
However, Chatterji did not feel depressed. Instead, he became more excited and shouted: "The enemy will fall, follow me and charge into the battle!"
Since I will always grow old, let more people see my bravery before I grow old!
I am Zhebie Shenshe! Tutuo, the son of Xingkai Urluk! 【Note 1】
