Chapter 19 Desert Ambition No. 9: The Duel of the Tribal Cavalry
Sengge will not let it go.
He asked the Bukhara infantry under his command to approach the chariot formation again with a large shield.
This is also what Wu Yinglong hopes to see, and it is also the reason why Mu Renren has only launched it now. If it is Wei Lat
The man has now won and lost with the Khalkha three parts, so Muren must not dare to do this. The Kruren River is very wide and it is not necessary to break the chariot formation before it can pass.
What's more, Mu Ren and his friends came from the south bank of the Kruren River. Now the river is frozen strong, and Sengge and others can completely cross the frozen river and continue to walk eastward.
However, although the Khalkha Mongols suffered heavy losses after several wars, they still had considerable strength and had not yet reached the end of their lives. In this way, most of Batur's troops would definitely be attracted by them. Of course, the Soren people who "suddenly" appeared in the east had to take care of them, but they would definitely not be the main force.
As for the non-main force sent, his mission is to break the reinforcements and completely calm the Khalkha Mongols, and there is no reason to detour.
Sengge sent five hundred elite soldiers this time, one hundred Bukharas carried a five-foot-high shield and topped the front, followed by three hundred warriors from the Junggar tribe. These warriors were all carrying big swords and heavy axes, hiding behind the big shield, and at the end were one hundred Dulberts with scimitars. Their mission was mainly to feint attacks and create opportunities for the three hundred warriors from the Junggar tribe in the middle.
Everything planned was perfect, with only nine cannons on the front, and even if they were hit, there were only nine blood marks. The remaining people just needed to grab the car formation.
"boom!!!"
Sure enough, when the 500-person small formation approached the chariot formation, all nine cannons fired!
It was almost the same as what Monk Ge thought, all six kilograms of iron bullets sprayed from the nine cannons hit the big shield. With powerful kinetic energy, the ones that hit the middle of the big shield were just in front of them. Some of them passed through the big shield and brought a blood mark behind them. Some did not pass through the big shield, and they knocked the people behind the big shield away, which also brought a large number of people.
The most powerful thing is that it hits the iron bullets on both sides of the big shield. It was originally a straight route, but after being disturbed by the big shield, it immediately deflects in the direction and breaks into the crowd. The real blood marks brought out by these iron bullets.
Some iron bullets simply penetrated the entire crowd and rushed to the back formation and caused some damage.
However, at least half of the small array had a large shield unscathed, and the time needed for the opposite gun to complete the loading was enough for them to run to the car array!
Sengge was also shocked by the tragic caused by the flying shells just now, but he, who was proficient in firearms, knew that this was the price he had to pay to break the car array, and he immediately returned to normal.
Soon, the small formation successfully approached the vehicle formation, and the cannon was still not loaded!
Sengge, who was riding on the horse in the back formation, couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
He knew the power of the hundreds of warriors under his command. These 300 people were nomadic in his territory, the Junggar tribe in the Yili River Valley, and the elite of the Heshuote tribe (Sengge is the son-in-law of the Heshuote tribe. According to his seniority, he is the son-in-law of Gushikhan's nephew, which is the daughter of Huntaiji, the Heshuote tribe who stayed in the Qihe River Basin. The tribe warriors and tribes who were dowed when they married their daughters). He couldn't help but be brave and could cooperate in combat.
In the past, when Singge fought against the Khanate of Kazakhs and Bukhara (mainly Uzbeks), these hundreds of warriors made great contributions, and they were all the forces that ultimately decided the outcome.
At this time, the small array is only more than two feet away from the vehicle array!
However, the situation has undergone drastic changes at a distance of more than two meters!
I saw a large piece of wood flying out from behind the car array, and a black cylindrical thing at the end!
"Bang!"
Some of the things exploded immediately over the small array, and some fell into the crowd before they exploded. No matter what, it caused great panic to the small array.
However, these people are not the warriors raised by Sengge for a long time. When the small formation was blown up, about 200 people continued to rush forward.
One zhang!
At this time, the small formation was divided into two, and about dozens of people rushed to the southeast side of the car formation. Most of them still rushed straight to the front. At this time, the warriors behind the big shield also threw out the short axes and bones in their hands, "floating". The sound of them inserted into the baffle of the cart was everywhere.
Sengge in the back formation immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At this distance, there should be no force that could stop his warrior from continuing to act...
But things are often unexpected. Before the monk came to his senses, he saw a large area of black things appearing over the broken small formation. This thing is more crude and heavier than the wooden handle just now. The soldiers behind the baffle hugged and threw it down and hid their heads behind the baffle.
"boom……"
The sound was obviously much louder than the one just now, and there was also a large area of smoke in front of the car array. At this time, the musketeer behind the baffle finally exposed his head, and he was holding a musket in his hand!
"Bang bang..."
With the uneven musket sounds, the dozen remaining "warriors" in the field were all shot to the end.
Five hundred men were wiped out!
Of course, under the repeated attacks of thunder and muskets, only about half of them died on the spot, and most of them were rolling on the ground and screaming.
"How is that possible?!"
Sengge almost fell off his tall and majestic BMW.
"boom!!!"
What surprised him even more was still behind. At this time, all the nine cannons were loaded and all fired again!
The artillery under Nikan was not the long-body tube standard commonly used in Western Yi at this time, and the effective range was not large. In order to effectively cooperate with the musket, there were still one hundred feet, and nine iron bullets could instantly fall into the more than two thousand infantry formations under Sengge.
These two thousand people are not the warriors who were ready to die just now. The tragic situation caused by the iron bombs in the crowd made their formations suddenly mess up. Then I don’t know who started the first and ran backwards first, followed by the second and third...
Finally, the entire brigade ran back and rushed directly to Sengge's cavalry formation!
“Woo woo woo woo…”
At this time, a sound of bronze horns came from the chariot formation. Sengge was asking his personal guards to intercept the fleeing infantry. He could not help but frown when he heard the sound of bronze horns.
"Is the thief army going to open the car formation?"
However, as a slight tremor came from the ground, he immediately understood.
"The ambushed cavalry of the bandit army is finally about to show up."
Yes, a large group of cavalry rushed out from near the mountains on the south bank of the Kruren River!
These cavalry were naturally not Mu Ren's permanent army. He had already arrived at Kelemuhetun. These were the 5,000 tribal cavalry recruited by Mu Ren in the Karuda River Basin. All were composed of the Ewenki, Oroqen, and Daur people in the Karuda River Basin, which were composed of the "Soren people" in the mouth of the Mobei people.
The leading general was Nikan's father-in-law Uliji, and with Bagen, Nomin, almost all the elite Soren people from the Karma River Basin came here!
To this day, Uliji's Colt Il tribe has expanded to more than a thousand households, while Bagen's Erte tribe and Nomin's Bukur tribe are also different. With the cavalry of other tribes, from Chita to Nibchu, there is no pressure to take out five thousand elite cavalry.
As the iron tools in the forest became increasingly abundant, almost all the cavalrymen were equipped with the standard cavalry of Hanhai Country. Many of them claimed to be extremely brave and bought cavalry rifles from the standing army, plus homemade leather armor, bows and arrows. The original Sauron barbarians had already replaced the cannons with bird guns.
After Wu Liji appeared, the brigade was quickly divided into two. Nuomin led a thousand cavalry and directly cut into the infantry team that Sengge were fleeing in a hurry from the side. Wu Liji brought two thousand Ewenk, Oroqen elite cavalry, and Bagen's one thousand Erte elite cavalry directly rushed from the side to Sengge's cavalry formation.
As I said first, the three thousand cavalry of Sengge were nomadic in the Ili River Valley (Sengge's territory). They were attached to small tribes such as Kazakhs, Qierjis, and Bukhara of the Junggar tribe. All the cavalry of the headquarters were included in Batur's command and confronting Shuollei and others.
According to the rules of the Weila people, these cavalry must bring their own war horses, weapons, and armor when they go to fight. Since the Ili River Valley has always been a place where military strategists must compete, these herdsmen have well equipped their outfits, but that is only good.
In the Ili River Valley, from Lake Balkhash and the area around Zhaisangbo, only the Bukhara people can smel and make good weapons, and only these people can farm. However, these people are firmly controlled by the Weila tribes and the Kazakhs. It is still difficult for ordinary herders to have a set of handy weapons, most of which were passed down from ancestors.
Armor? Except for some leather braces who have made them a piece of leather armor, most of them are still naked.
As Nikan's father-in-law, Uliji, now his subordinates have basically worn leather armor, a brand new sabre, and the bravery of the Sorens and their desire to gain fame and fortune, all rushed towards the three thousand cavalry without hesitation.
"Bang!"
At the same time, the iron chains between the big chariots were untied, and the gaps between the big chariots were also revealed. Wu Yinglong only left five hundred men to guard the chariot formation, and brought the remaining 1,000 musketeers and five hundred long spearmen out. Their target was the enemy infantry that was still fleeing in a hurry!
"Bang!"
This is the sound of the cavalry on both sides encountering. No matter how well you are equipped or brave, once the horses collided, they will fall to the ground and die, especially when the formations of both sides are very dense.
The next battle depends on the courage and skills of both sides.
Since Wu Liji's side was ready to go, and Seng Ge's side was attacked from the side, they were immediately judged at the beginning. Soon, Seng Ge's cavalry was defeated and had already been exposed.
Yes, from a distance, in history, Yelu Dashi was able to unify the Two Rivers Basin with the remnants of the Liao Kingdom. From a near distance, the Junggar tribe was able to conquer the Kazakhs, which were known as "400,000 string control", with a group of Mongols. These Central Asian tribal cavalry were brave, and they were no match for the desert cavalry after all.
At the end of the battle, Sengge finally couldn't hold on anymore. Under the escort of more than 200 Jungge and Heshuote's personal guards, they escaped from the battlefield and fought horses and ran towards Klemu Hetun.
