Without strict organization, each Tatar cavalry charged in a battle formation of thousands of people, but facing the three musketeer battalions and seven cavalry battalions under Humang, plus more than 2000 cavalry from the Chaser Regiment, such a charge The next loss is naturally very heavy.The battle lasted for more than an hour. Except for about [-] cavalry who rushed out of the blocking circle, most of the other Tatar cavalry were still nested here, unable to escape to heaven.
At this time, General Su He rushed over with a dozen of his own soldiers.After hearing the news, Agadorji, who was at a loss, was overjoyed at the moment, and was about to hand over the military power to him to command.But when the two met, General Su He was already in a cold sweat. The first sentence he said gave Agadorji a feeling that the sky was going to kill him.
"My lord, the main force of the mercenary army came behind me. This time, the encirclement on both sides may result in the destruction of the army."
"So fast." Hearing that the main force of the mercenary army was coming from behind, Agadorji just felt that the sky was hanging by a thread, and there was no hope in sight.
In contrast, Su He was much calmer.Although the current situation is already very difficult, it is not because they have no advantages at all. For example, their current total strength is still higher than that of their opponents. For example, it is night now, and they are better at escaping.
Of course, even with more troops than the opponent, Su He did not think arrogantly that he could counterattack across the board and win now.The successive escapes have caused the army to lose the most important morale, and even to put it harshly, the army's morale may collapse at any time. If this is the case, it will undoubtedly be defeated.
Thinking about Agadorji's various faults, such as being greedy for life and fear of death, extremely greedy, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, but no matter what, this person is still his own adult.Without the reuse of the other party, we would not be where we are today.At this moment, Su He has made up his mind, that is, he wants to repay the other party.
"My lord, at this moment, it is impossible to turn things around. Only my lord escapes, hoping to get back together and avenge today's revenge." Su He said as if he had made some kind of decision. with.While making this decision, he also made preparations to sacrifice at any time.
Shocked by Su He's decision, Agadorji was a little moved after reacting, and asked, "I'm leaving, what about you, General?"
"Me? Of course I stayed and led the army and mercenaries to fight. If I don't do this, I'm afraid the adults will not be able to take the opportunity to rush out." Su He had a wry smile on his face. Who doesn't want to survive?But when he is destined to sacrifice others, he can only choose to stay. Whoever makes the other party an adult, he is just his general.
Of course Agadorji knew this truth, at the moment he was extremely excited, but also very angry.Excited because Su He was willing to sacrifice him to protect himself, and angry because this battle wiped out their old background. From now on, he will no longer be able to become a powerful force on the grassland. Glory will have nothing to do with him.
No matter what thoughts he had in mind, Agadorji finally agreed to Su He's request and chose to leave.At this time, he also really handed over the command of the army to Su He, leaving only [-] fine cavalry by his side for the purpose of breaking through.
After Su He got the command power, the first thing he did was to let the soldiers around him spread the news that General Ge Lang from Beipo and Hara Ruochu from Xihe were dispatching troops to come here. At dawn, a large army will come to support and turn defeat into victory.
This is of course impossible, and even judging by Su He's judgment, it is very likely that the two armies have already encountered an accident. Otherwise, where would the mercenaries come from to intercept him here.It’s just that we still have to say this to the outside world. Only in this way can the army’s morale not be confused and collapsed, and it can create a chance for Agadorji to escape.
Sure enough, Su He's strategy was correct. After the news was released, the chaotic Tatar cavalry army became much calmer.People are afraid that there is no hope, as long as there is hope, anyone will find a way to fight.
The morale of the army was temporarily stabilized. Su He commanded the army to form a defensive line to block the attack of the main force of the mercenaries behind him, and at the same time sent two thousand cavalry to rush towards the mercenaries blocking the road. He wanted to tear a hole in the front in the shortest possible time. , to create opportunities for Agadorji's departure.
Under the stable morale of the army, the orders were carefully carried out by the cavalry below.When Yang Chendong led the main force to the rear of the Tatar cavalry, he didn't expect such overwhelming momentum, but instead encountered strong resistance.
"What's going on?" Yang Chendong saw that many mercenaries rushed too fast because of carelessness, and were overwhelmed by the Tatar cavalry as soon as they entered the defense line. They lost hundreds of horses in a short period of time. While telling people to stop the attack, he called scouts to ask about the situation.
Xu Yunsheng, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion, had joined the army at this moment, and was called to him by Yang Chendong for questioning, and he told what he saw. "Sixth Young Master, the previous Tatar cavalry was indeed in chaos, but because of the arrival of Su He, everything changed. For some reason, they stabilized their morale and gained the power to fight back."
After all, the time it happened was too short, and it was very difficult for the reconnaissance battalion to obtain this information.Yang Chendong didn't mean to blame the other party, but instead asked with great interest, "After Su He came back, has the morale of the army stabilized? It seems that this person has some skills."
"Yes, we learned from some prisoners captured before that the order to retreat was also given by this person. It seems that his insight on the battlefield is also good." Yang Er added the report on the side.
"Hehe, then I'm interested in this person." Yang Chendong smiled, now is the time to hire someone, if the other party is really capable, then he doesn't mind recruiting him for his own use.It's just that he hasn't defeated the opponent yet, so it's too early to think about it.
"In this way, the order goes on, and the troops should not rush to launch an attack. When the entire army arrives, they will launch a charge in units of battalions and companies. To achieve a comprehensive advance, you can't make any separate advances. Also, the reconnaissance battalion Clarify the situation immediately, and allow you to freely bring up the captives." Yang Chendong is unwilling to fight an uncertain battle, at least he will not rashly launch a violent attack until he finds out what happened in the opponent's camp. of.
Chapter 7 Surrender with Less Wars and More
Yang Er and Xu Yunsheng were ordered to do it.Soon, the attack of the mercenaries changed from a random sudden attack to an organized advance. In this way, instead of giving the opponent a chance, the Tatar cavalry fell into a situation of retreating step by step.
The mercenaries chasing after him reacted so quickly, which was indeed beyond Su He's expectations. He guessed that there might be generals in the opposing camp who knew better tactics commanding them.It's just that now, what he's concerned about is not these anymore, but whether the two thousand cavalry sent on the way back can break a bloody path, and whether they can open a way of escape for Mr. Agadorji.
Under the order of death, two thousand Tatar cavalry launched a suicide attack. They were not afraid of the musket bullets fired on the road ahead, and there were several times as many mercenary cavalry, one by one, they just lowered their heads and rushed to kill.Such a desperate way of fighting finally made them tear open a hole, opening a short escape route for Agadorji.Three thousand Tatar cavalry, also the three thousand cavalry carrying hope, left the team. In addition to those who escaped before, six or seven thousand Tatar cavalry rushed out.
What the Tatar cavalry paid was that among the [-] cavalry sent out, except for those who died in battle or were captured, no one returned to the barracks.
"Huh!" With a long breath, Su He's previously high-hanging heart was relieved.Agadorji had already fled, his only worry was gone, and the next thing he would do was fight with the mercenaries, and he would use his death to prove that the Tatar cavalry were not easy to provoke.
At this time, nearly two hours had passed since Yang Chendong summoned Xu Yunsheng before, and it seemed that in one hour, the sky would be bright.At this time, Battalion Commander Xu finally learned from the prisoners he had just captured that the reason why Su He was able to integrate the army's morale, and quickly reported it to the Sixth Young Master.
"Oh? This Su He actually thought of such an idea, and he really has some ability." After listening to Xu Yunsheng's story, Yang Chendong also had to sigh, this Su He is really a capable person.
I didn't know how the opponent did it before, so I could only take every step to win the victory.But now that you know the method used by the other party, you only need to target the method. "In this way, pass my order, the whole army stops attacking, and waits for the dawn. And if the enemy wants to make an assault, the musketeers will be in front, and the archers will be in the back, just to suppress them and break through."
The trapped beast fights fiercely, which is not what Yang Chendong wants to see.That being the case, it's better to besiege rather than attack. What he wants now is not to destroy, but to conquer.
The mercenaries suddenly stopped their previous rush, and the front line became quiet. This scene caught Su He, who was in the final battle, a little unprepared.Hearing that there were no shouts of killing coming from outside, for some reason, he felt a bad feeling instead.
"General, are they preparing for a big attack?" Some commanders who also didn't know why came to Su He and asked for instructions.
Someone also asked, "General, it's almost dawn, when will our reinforcements arrive?"
"That's right. Now the soldiers below are looking forward to it. Everyone is very tired and has suffered heavy losses after fighting this night. The soldiers below are very nervous."
Of course, Su He couldn't say that there were no reinforcements at all, otherwise, if the army didn't need to fight, they would lose their morale and be powerless to fight.In order to stabilize the overall situation, he had to continue to arrange, "It's not far from dawn, and the reinforcements should be here soon. What we need to do now is to accumulate strength. Once the reinforcements appear, we will attack from both inside and outside, and the mercenaries will be completely defeated in World War I." defeat."
Hearing what Su He said was so affirmative, the commanders below could not help but smile happily on their faces.Now one by one promised, they will work hard to stabilize the morale of the army, and then leave separately.
Su He was left with a puzzled face. Could it be that the mercenaries are really preparing for a big attack?If this is the case, he has already decided to lead the army to fight to the death. Even if he dies in battle, he will inflict great damage on the mercenaries, and it will not be in vain for him to live this life.But what if the other party didn't intend to attack?If they have other ghost ideas, what should they do at that time?
Look up at the sky, although it is still so dark.But Su He knew that the sky would light up in an hour's time, that is to say, there was not much time left for him to fight.
Su He knew that he must die, and what he wanted was to have a bloody battle with the mercenaries and die on the battlefield with the dignity of a soldier.But it was a pity that the mercenaries didn't go according to his plan, and suddenly stopped attacking, and just surrounded him from a distance, which made Su He feel bad.
The so-called what to fear, just when Su He was thinking whether the other party had already understood his strategy, suddenly there was a shout from the front line, and the voice that belonged to the Han people came very clearly at this moment, "Tatar cavalry Brothers, you have been fooled, and you will not have any reinforcements at all. Whether it is Hara Ruochu from Xihe Road or Ge Lang from Beipo Road, they have all been defeated by my mercenaries, and we even captured Hara alive If you come out, you are all alone now, and the right way is to surrender immediately, otherwise, you can only die, and death is not worth it."
"Tartar cavalry brothers, you have been fooled, we will not have any reinforcements at all, whether it is..."
The shouts were repeated again and again, and they were transmitted to the Tatar army through the opponent's simple loudspeaker.The cavalrymen who had heard the news for the first time were all well-versed, with ugly and angry expressions on their faces.
The ugly face was because of the situation they were in, and the anger was because they knew that they had been cheated. For a while, the barracks seemed to be bombed. No matter how hard the commanders tried, they couldn't suppress it anymore.No way, these commanders had no choice but to unite together and came to Su He, wanting to ask for an explanation.
Su He was not as flustered as everyone imagined. Instead, he rode on the horse very calmly, looked at these angry commanders, and bowed his head to admit his mistake. "I'm sorry everyone, I told a lie before, we really probably don't have reinforcements."
"What? Are there really no reinforcements?"
"If this is the case, what should we do next? Without reinforcements, we cannot be opponents of mercenaries."
"That's right, what should we do? Please also ask General Su to come up with a charter."
The commanders talked in a hurry.Facing Su He who admitted everything frankly, they suddenly realized that they were not so angry. After all, the other party did not take the opportunity to escape, but stayed here like everyone else. With this one, everyone couldn't get angry. .
First calmed down the anger of the commanders, and then Su He talked about the way to deal with it. "Brothers, the obvious mercenaries now want to play psychological tactics and win without a fight. If that's the case, we will all become prisoners of the other party, and even life is worse than death. That's the case, it's better to fight hard If you fight, you might still be able to survive. And even if you can't escape and die in battle, you can die a happy death and be a hero."
"General, what do you mean..." The group of commanders had already guessed some kind of decision Su He would make next.
"I mean, let's fight, rush out, escape one by one, and let's live in peace." Su He also knows that at this moment, he can only tell the truth. Only in this way, maybe he can gain a chance of survival .
Breaking through is not an easy task, and it is even possible that most people will leave their lives here.But as Su He said, if they don't do this, they have no better choice now.
These commanders, you look at me, I look at you, and finally nodded helplessly.After getting the support of these commanders, Su He immediately issued a military order, and the whole army rushed out, trying to rush out under the cover of the moonlight.
When the military order was issued, the Tatar cavalry who were still questioning whether they had been deceived were left speechless by the sincerity of General Su He.Although I was angry in my heart, but at this point, I didn't want to be a prisoner, and I didn't even dare to think about what life would be like as a prisoner. Now I can only try my best, hoping that God can take care of him and let me survive.
With the hope that they might survive, everyone drew out their sabers one by one, and took advantage of the fact that it was still dark, and launched a rush to kill.When hundreds of thousands of Tatar cavalry rushed out, the formation was quite huge.
The moment the earthquake was felt, the Humang Independent Group guarding the outermost edge felt it.As the head of the regiment, Humang immediately ordered the musketeers of the three battalions to get ready, and at the same time ordered the other soldiers who were laying mines to retreat and prepare for battle.
Behind the Independent Regiment, the Chasing Command of the First Regiment of the Strengthened Cavalry is also bow-stringing, ready to release bows and arrows when the enemy approaches.
