Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 366 Who dares to challenge David Bingfeng (Part )
"The slaves are incompetent. They asked them for the mother and son, but they refused to give them to them." Bu and Artu told the whole story about Gon Bu Ileden's arrogant attitude.

"Hateful, hateful!" Sumur was furious in his heart and gently tugged at the lower corner of his cloak with his left hand. Bu and Altu knew that this was a sign of their master's anger.

However, after all, the King of Liao was thirty years old, and his thoughts in Li Zhinian were naturally different from those in his youth, at least he was more tolerant of anger than when he was young. When he came, his brother Qian Dingzhu Wan told him that the goal of the trip was to capture Yumhagas mother and son, and not to conflict with the Khalkha people. The elder brother has always regarded the Qing Kingdom in the east as his biggest enemy. In his plan, the Khalkha Mongols are the middle force that can be won over. Offending the Khalkha people will not be conducive to major events! Besides, Nagon Buyilden was just an ordinary Taiji of Hetuohuite tribe, not their Huitai Ji. There might be some misunderstanding in the process.

"Change the formation and prepare to charge," he ordered coldly.

The flag officer perked up and waved the flag, and the Hundred Battle Guards changed their formations one after another. The huge military formation, which was originally in the form of small squads and scattered in twos and threes, quickly gathered together. This formation has a long history. It is a special skill of the Mongols in fighting big battles. It is called "Crow Soldiers and Star Spreading Formation".

Genghis Khan described the formation as "entering like a mountain peach bark bush, setting up like a sea formation, attacking like fighting through a chisel." What does it mean? That is to say, when his cavalry moves, they always disperse in twos and threes, advancing in small detachments, like low shrubs on the Mongolian grasslands; their formations are broad, as huge as a lake, surrounding the enemy; when attacking, they are quickly concentrated. , charging at the enemy one after another. The first formation cannot cross it, and the second formation continues. Once they break through a point, they will shout "Gugui" to summon the friendly troops. The Mongolian cavalry will come from all directions to attack this point until it is completely defeated. enemy.

This formation embodies the experience gained from hundreds of battles by the Mongolian ancestors and has many benefits. First of all, it can trap the enemy with a small number of troops. "Surrounded by a hundred cavalry, it can cover thousands of people, and spread out by a thousand cavalry, it can cover hundreds of miles." Secondly, it is conducive to harassing the enemy. Approach the enemy in the form of a small team and shoot arrows to harass the enemy. Quickly evacuate, harass repeatedly, causing the formation to become chaotic, and then call in large forces to seize the flaw and rush into the formation; finally, when the enemy is tired or has a flaw, the Mongolian army will change its formation, form several formations, and continuously attack the enemy.

During the Genghis Khan era, they often charged in six formations of "3355545", followed by five or other several formations to attack, depending on the battlefield situation and adapting to the situation. The common point is that they all put heavy cavalry in the front and light cavalry in the back. In this era, due to the popularization of firearms, the number of heavy cavalry decreased, and because of the thousands-mile pursuit, the guards who came were all light cavalry, and their impact was weak. So Sumur formed five formations, increasing the number of people in the first three formations. The first and second formations each had 2,000 people, the third formation had 3,000 people, and the fourth and fifth formations had 1,500 people each.

The guards in formation were silent, the air seemed to solidify, and a thick murderous aura filled the sky above the battlefield.

"Change the formation," Ombul Erdeni ordered with a gloomy face, and the Tuohite army also began to form formations, still according to the tactics of their ancestors, arranged in six formations, "3355545". The first formation had a thousand Among the two hundred people, there were 600 heavily armored men. Watching his army begin to form, he gradually felt relieved. The two armies were equal in number, and he had heavy armor, so why should he be afraid of the Guards?

This Huitaiji squinted his eyes, waiting for the coming bloody storm. Then, a man and a horse suddenly flashed into his eyes. The black cloak of the knight on the horse was particularly eye-catching in the biting cold wind, as if he was possessed by the god of death.

"I am Sumur, King of the Liao Dynasty of the Kingdom of David. Please speak to Ombu Erdeni Huntaiji of the Tohuite tribe." The man's voice was very penetrating, passing through many military formations and reaching his ears directly. middle.

"Sumul? Sultana's younger brother?" Ombu Erdeni hesitated. Go, the guards are cunning and unfaithful, and they are afraid that the enemy will ambush the eagle shooters in front of the formation; don't go, it will hurt morale too much. Gritting his teeth, he rode his horse to a point a stone's throw away from the opponent (this distance should be relatively safe), and shouted: "I am Ombu Erdeni, why did the King of Liao call me?"

"Hmph! I have often heard people say that Hutai Jiombu Erdeni of the Tuohite tribe is a great hero. Today, when we meet him, he is like a rat." Seeing him hiding so far away, Sumur looked disdainful. .

Old Ombu Erdeni blushed and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why use your words?"

"Well, our army came to pursue the mother and son of Umhargas, and I heard that you took them in. Hand over the mother and son, and the matter will be forgotten; otherwise, you will have a taste of David's army!"

"How crazy!" Ombul Erdeni was extremely angry and cursed: "Oirat's saber can kill people, can it be that my Khalkha's saber can only chop wood? Decades ago, your ancestors could not defeat me. Our ancestors had to move westward in panic; more than 20 years ago, my father Shuolei Ubas almost wiped out the entire Oirat with the help of Tohuit; today I want to see if the Oirat people have made any progress. ". After saying this, he stopped talking and rushed back to the main formation to prepare to command the battle.

Seeing this, Sumur knew that things were going to be dire today, so he rushed back to his own formation and issued the order to attack.

"Woo~wu~wu~"

The desolate horn sounded, and Oirat and Khalkha, which had been at peace for many years because of the formulation of the "Mongolia-Oirat Code", began to continue the vendetta of their ancestors.

"Da~da~da~"

The heavily armed cavalry from both sides approached each other, and a large-scale cavalry battle was about to begin.

"Open fire as soon as the Guardsmen enter the artillery range," Ombu Erdeni said to his second brother Hang Tudai. In the third formation, he concealed more than thirty small bronze cannons tied to the backs of camels. Most of these guns were purchased from Tsarist Russia and were their capital for the fight for Khalkha.

Since the princes of Khalkha have been reluctant to pay tribute to the "Nine Whites" and supported the leader of the Sunit Tribe two years ago to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, they were regarded as untrustworthy by Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it is difficult to They obtained artillery from the Qing Dynasty; they had a feud with Oirat, had a bad relationship with Tsarist Russia, and lacked smelting capabilities, which caused their firearms to lag behind. However, the Tohuite Department was an exception. In order to compete for Khalkha, "Altan Khan" Ombu Erdeni accepted the olive branch extended by Tsarist Russia and purchased a large number of firearms from Tsarist Russia.

These more than thirty cannons are his trump card, intending to surprise the enemy at the critical moment. However, he did not expect that because Emperor Qianyuan of Wei State paid special attention to the research and development and production of firearms, this small bronze cannon had already been produced in batches and equipped with troops. Sumur's army was equipped with eighty weapons. It's hard to say who surprised whom!

"Fire artillery," Hang Tudai gave the order, and the first wave of more than 30 artillery shells fired by Tuohite Army towards the Guards.

He craned his neck to look, expecting to see the guardsmen flipping over, but was soon stunned.

"Chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~"

The Guards' cannon fired, and the density of the bullet rain was more than twice that of the Tohite army, roaring and shooting at the enemy.
