The facts proved two things. ,
The first thing is that no matter whether Borha Rabbit is very motivated or not, he is indeed not an enemy of Tuotuo Yihe. As he said himself, he will be shot before he gets close. Although he was not decapitated on the spot due to the protection of the helmet, since the arrow was embedded in his skull, in this era it was basically the difference between dying early and dying late.
The second thing is that two thousand people really can't stop Tuotuo who leads six thousand fine cavalry into the formation, and even the hysteresis effect is very limited.
Especially when the general Borha Rabbit was shot off his horse by Chatterji with a single arrow, the reputation of "Zhebie Shenjun" and "The No. 1 Hero" shocked everyone under Borha Rabbit's command. They were all a little timid, and with weak hands and feet, they were unable to fight against the high-morale Chatterji's troops, and were easily defeated by Chatterji.
In war, morale is really important, especially in the period of cold weapon warfare. Doubling morale is really equivalent to doubling combat effectiveness. Therefore, when the general shows invincible bravery, the effect of boosting morale and doubling combat power is simply stronger than that of nn.
Xin Ai's face was livid, and he secretly cursed Borha Rabbit as "trash", but he was also helpless. After all, for hundreds of years in Mongolia, there were indeed many generals who were good at shooting, but the one who won the title of "Zhebie Shenshe" But there were very few, and at this moment, his opponent happened to be a general who was at the level of a master marksman.
If Xin Ai's mood at this moment could be described by a classic saying from later generations, it would be a shame.
He even hesitated for a moment, should he send someone to stop it? If sent, who can block Tuotuo's arrow?
Fortunately, although he no longer has Burihatu under his command, he still has Namur.
Namur suddenly asked for a fight: "Echige, Newen asked for a fight!"
Xin Ai was startled and looked at him hesitantly: "Can you stop Tuotuo?"
"I can't stop him." Namur said decisively, "But I can bite his tail!"
Xin Ai's eyes lit up, yes, Tuotuo was so powerful that he couldn't stop him, but if he went up to attack his rear team, the effect of his attack could be greatly reduced. ,
"Okay!" After all, Xin Ai is a veteran who is accustomed to fighting, and he made a decisive decision: "You lead your headquarters and the rest of Borha Rabbit to bite the Tuotuo rear team. Don't let him attack with all his strength!"
"Yes, Huang Taiji!" Namur cupped his fists and saluted, then drew his horse and left.
In fact, it is not a good idea to bring the remnants of Borha Rabbit. This group of people must have been killed by Chaterji. However, Namur also knows that there are not many troops available now, and he must be prepared to be ready soon. The main force of Dacheng Taiji's western post arrived, and the only people Echige could give him were the rest of Borha Tu's army.
The two thousand people led by Hatu, who had just been killed by Sanbol Hatu on Qataiji's side, were scattering freely around Xin Ai's old camp and into the camp.
The purpose of this surround attack and scattering was not to kill or injure many people, but to increase the panic in the camp so that they could not quickly gather towards the west of the camp where Xin Ai was.
Xin Ai also understood this truth, so he stayed in the west of the camp and continued to gather troops.
He will never lead the main force to fight with Chatterji personally now, because that would be suicide. Dachengtai Jibu will be here soon. If he goes to fight with Chatterji, so what if he wins? At that time, as long as Han Naji had any brains, even if he just ordered a charge, he would be killed by Dacheng Taiji's troops who charged from the rear. Xin Ai could only lose with hatred.
After all, Qataiji's attack will not be directly fatal, because even if he goes around behind him, it will be useless. The reason why the old camp is called the old camp is not because a bunch of felt tents are placed there and it is done. Various simple fortifications such as blocking horses are still there. Yes, it is impossible for Chatterjee to get trapped with his cavalry, he is not that stupid.
Those who dare to do such a thing are infantry troops like the Ming Army, especially their elite servant troops, who are fully armored and even have two or three layers of armor. They are not afraid of charging directly into the camp.
The cavalry, which has lost the mobility and impact of its horses, cannot win a close combat with the elite Ming army's servants. This is a very simple truth, but generally speaking, the elite Ming army infantry cannot have the opportunity to kill silently. Just enter the Mongolian army's camp.
Qataiji led his troops to "surround" in a leisurely manner, but due to the need to create panic, his team became longer and longer, almost surrounding Xin Ai's old camp and shooting indiscriminately.
This created an opportunity for Namur. The number of people gathered in his headquarters was better than that of the previous Borha Rabbit. There were about 1,000 people. When he set off, he asked the whole army to shout hello and dispersed the troops of Chatterji. It's not surprising that more than a thousand men and horses under Borha Rabbit's command have gathered. The Mongolian cavalry itself does not actually use charging as the main form of combat. Therefore, although the first round of charging looked fierce, in fact, when the overall situation has been decided, the waves will Most of Erhatu's cavalry chose to retreat. Only two to three hundred people were directly killed or injured, and most of the others were temporarily defeated.
This is also one of the reasons why the Ming army and the Mongolian army have very few heads in the battle. If the opponent cannot defeat them, they will disperse and retreat, and then they can gather again immediately. In this way, it is certainly difficult to get heads, even if they defeat a hundred This time, there may not be any decisive battle of annihilation.
To a certain extent, Ma Fang's idea of "using cavalry to control cavalry" does make sense, but the Ming army at that time did not have that condition.
And Gao Pragmatic didn't know much about cavalry. He always felt that to improve the combat effectiveness of cavalry, they must at least have flintlocks, or even better, new bullets that are integrated with bullets, like modern bullets with cartridge cases. Instead of using separate projectiles, loading and shooting can be completed directly on horseback.
This has led to the fact that the current Ming army cavalry is basically using cold weapons in combat, and it is more difficult to reach the level of the Mongols in cold weapon cavalry combat. How many elite cavalry did Ma Fang have back then? At least half of them are Mongolian.
Li Chengliang's side is similar, with Hans probably not much more than half, and many Mongolians and Jurchens mixed in, but most of them have been "naturalized" and do not regard themselves as "foreigners".
In this situation, Namur's troops suddenly exceeded 3,000 cavalry, while Chatterji's troops were stretched thin. When Namur launched an attack on Chatterji's rear troops, the rear troops The team suddenly felt tremendous pressure.
Chatterji discovered this immediately, and couldn't help but secretly shout "Okay" in his heart.
It seems that Xin Ai Huang Taiji still has some abilities. So far, except for the mistake in sending the Borha rabbit just now, his other performances can be called excellent. No wonder that although the Khan didn't like him back then, he always left him alone. Get one.
Although the good situation was disturbed by Namur, Qataiji did not show the slightest anger. He just let Yatou Zhi and others continue to attack, while he picked 500 cavalry and turned around to kill Namur.
Namur had also been paying attention to Chatterji's actions. When he saw him turning around and coming to kill him, Namur immediately ordered an evacuation to the outside without saying a word.
He is not a simple brave general, and the opponent is the most powerful general in Tumote. How can he be more brave than him? Doesn’t what happened to Borha Rabbit just now explain the problem?
Therefore, he immediately led people to evacuate outside with a call sign.
His move was slightly beyond Chatterji's expectations. Chatterji originally thought that Namur, a general in his thirties, would bring 3,000 cavalry, which was several times more than the 500 he brought. , should choose to fight head-on, but unexpectedly the other party actually chose to evacuate.
Wait is not evacuation!
Chatterji watched Namur's diagonal retreat and suddenly understood that the other party actually wanted to play a "harassment" game with him. He shot arrows at Chatterji's troops from the outside to disrupt their attack on the old camp. plan.
What a good boy, you learn and apply it, you have some ability.
Chataiji narrowed his eyes slightly, but was not annoyed. He just smiled and said to Yuan Chichi beside him: "This little guy wants to learn from me."
Yuan Chichi chuckled and replied, "It depends on how much ability he has in Taiji."
Chataiji waved his hand calmly and said: "The rest of the people continue to attack. I will lead these five hundred people to chase him and fight. I want to see if he dares to fight with me first."
