Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 120 Battle with Xixia Cavalry, Steel Monster with Glowing Eyes
What I want is for you to catch up, chase the Mongolian cavalry in the field, and wait to be shot into a sieve!

After the Mongolian cavalry dispersed, although it was one thousand and five against two thousand, they formed a crushing force. The Xixia knights who rushed at the front were quickly shot into sieves. Even so, the Xixia cavalry still He rushed forward without fear of death.

I want to delay the return of the Mongolian cavalry troops as much as possible.

At midnight that night, Zhang Yong, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a Mongolian soldier who ran in in a panic.

Famayina, who was sleeping beside her, quickly wrapped her body in a quilt. Zhang Yong nodded, motioned to the Mongolian soldiers to follow him out, and then comforted Famayina.

"Master God Envoy! Oh no! The brothers in front found that a cavalry of about 4000 people was coming towards us." The Mongolian cavalry knelt on the ground and said to Zhang Yong.

"How many people are here?" Zhang Yong asked.

Sure enough, it was for him. Before setting off from Wokuotai, Zhang Yong had already thought of some of the enemy's purposes.

There are two very big strategic goals. One is to gather 6000 cavalry troops to engage in a decisive battle with Wo Kuotai's army and completely annihilate Wo Kuotai's army.

But to be honest, the difficulty level is a bit high, even if there are 6000 enemies and only [-] Mongolian cavalry.

The second combat goal is to send a small force to contain Wokuotai, and then concentrate his forces to deal with him.

They plundered all the Mongolian planting items and some livestock, destroying Genghis Khan's supply line after returning from the Western Expedition.

The second strategic goal is the biggest. If Zhang Yong is the defender of Shazhou, then the most important thing to do is the second one.

Because only in this way can we effectively attack the Mongols' logistics supply lines.

In ancient battles, killing the enemy was often not your main purpose. Destroying the enemy's supply lines and cutting off their food routes was the real best option.

In many battles that took place in ancient times, as long as the casualties reached a certain number of soldiers, they would flee on a large scale. If you want all these defeated soldiers to gather together, then you'd better have enough food in hand.

Otherwise, what is waiting for you is a complete defeat, and if you take away your group, the [-] of Wo Kuotai and others will become a lone army, and some of the surrounding Uighur armed forces will soon be defeated by this group of people. The Xixia army was cleared out.

Only after Wokuotai's army has no food supplies can we annihilate them all and then destroy all the supply points in Xiliao along the way to form the biggest strategic goal.

This Western Xia guard's strategy was good, and he was worthy of being a fierce man who could withstand Genghis Khan's army for half a year.

"Master God Envoy, according to the investigation of the brothers in front, there should be about 5000 to [-] people who are a light cavalry. How about we escort you to leave first? We can take you to rush out, and then go to meet Master Wo Kuotai. ." Several Mongolian centurions came to Zhang Yong and said.

The highest goal of the order Wokuotai gave them before leaving was to ensure Zhang Yong's life, and the second was to protect these local slaves.Protect this salt lake mine.

It is obviously a bit unrealistic for 500 people to defend a team of 5000 to 500 people, so the Mongolian officers present wanted to retreat. It should not be difficult for them to rush out together with [-] people protecting Zhang Yong.

"Why withdraw? I have prepared three lines of defense, and I also have gasoline to support the battle. There is no need to be afraid of them if we fight directly. Moreover, Mr. Wo Kuotai should have discovered the situation here. As long as we persist for a while, Our reinforcements will be here soon," Zhang Yong said.

Just kidding, why should I run?
Moreover, escaping and turning into a rout is the most troublesome thing. It is better to organize a wave of resistance!

I had prepared so many traps, three lines of defense, and secret weapons. Now it was time to take them out.

"Lord God Envoy, if you are willing to lead us to fight, then we are willing to follow you." The five Mongolian centurions looked at each other, nodded together, and said to Zhang Yong.

These people all followed Zhang Yong to participate in the Delhi Sultanate expedition.I still know this divine envoy very well. After all, Zhang Yong had served as their military advisor before and commanded them to fight a beautiful ambush.

And this is indeed a favorable defensive terrain, and it is difficult to rush in through the opening in the middle of the valley.

So they chose to believe in Zhang Yong. Anyway, the Mongols had fought many battles with less to win, and there was no such thing as fear in their hearts.

"Okay! You give all the slaves, as well as some local Uighurs, some weapons, the same spiked wooden guns we used before.

Then let them stand on the third line of defense, stick the wooden guns in their hands diagonally on the ground, fix them with their bodies, half-crouch down, and rely on the earth wall to defend.

All of you prepare your bows and arrows, and after they cross the three trenches of the first line of defense, light the gasoline on the second line of defense to block their attack. "Zhang Yong quickly began to deploy.

In the past two days, in addition to preparing some spike traps, Zhang Yong also cut down some trees, then whittled them into sharp spikes, and distributed these wooden weapons to ordinary slaves.

In this way, at least they were not helpless when facing the cavalry troops. As for the local Uighurs, they carried some weapons with them, mostly scimitars and some shovels. class tools.

He can barely act as an infantryman, although he is just a miscellaneous one.

After receiving Zhang Yong's order, the Mongolian cavalry began to deploy quickly. Soon, all the slaves were gathered together and then given wooden guns.

The slaves of Khwarezm stood in the first row holding wooden spears. According to Zhang Yong's instructions, they stuck the spears diagonally on the ground, in a half-crouching position, and relied on the earth wall in front to defend.

In the back row were the Uighurs, holding their weapons, and in the third row were the Mongolian cavalry troops, all with their bows and arrows ready, ready to ignite the second line of defense to block the enemy.

"You guys remember, your third line of defense is just a reserve. It is very likely that the Xixia cavalry will not even be able to rush in front of you and will be completely wiped out by us.

If they rush over and there are some earth walls in front of you, you rely on the earth walls to form a spike formation, and form a defensive formation with the Uighurs. Never spread out. If you spread out, you will only be massacred by the cavalry. "Zhang Yong said.

Then Famaina performed the translation and translated Zhang Yong's words into the Khwarezm language.

“My people, we can live a stable life here, no longer as slaves, but as civilians.

But now the enemy is coming, and the Messenger of Allah also said, you must fight hard, if you fail, all of us will die.

Relying on these earth walls and the wooden spears in your hands for defense, they probably won't be able to charge through.Do not shrink back, do not be afraid, God is watching you, follow the Messenger of God to fight, this is your mission. "Famaina said.

After hearing Farmayina's words, these sexy slaves mustered up some courage and began to follow Zhang Yong's instructions and form a defensive formation relying on the earth wall.

These earthen walls, which have been reinforced to more than one meter high in the past two days, can still provide some protection against cavalry charges. After all, these are only light cavalry, not heavy cavalry.

Not that strong in terms of impact.

And if our tactics can be successful, there should be no need for these people to appear on the second line of defense.

The Xixia cavalry can be completely annihilated. Zhang Yong now just hopes that they can not be afraid of running away, which will be a big help.

Zhang Yong didn't expect these 5000 motley infantry to be of much help.

After ordering the slave team and arming some local Uighurs, Zhang Yong came to the [-] Mongolian cavalry. After all, these [-] cavalry were his real winning force.

"Master Strategist, tell me! How should we fight this battle?" the leader of the Mongolian knights said. This time, he did not call Zhang Yong the envoy of God, but changed it to Strategist.This is what Mongolian soldiers called Zhang Yong during the war.

“The first line of defense will play a very good role in delaying and damaging them at night.

The three chasms, coupled with the wooden thorn trap inside, should be able to cause some damage to them and cause confusion in their formation.

When they organize their formation and rush to the second line of defense, you will completely ignite the second line of defense. The sheep will also be frightened, and you can slightly block the advancement of the Xixia cavalry.

When their formation was in chaos, all of you took out your bows and arrows and scattered them, reducing their numbers as much as possible.

Then three hundred of your cavalry will follow me, behind my iron chariot, and the other two hundred will divide into two lines, each led by a centurion.

When you saw my iron chariot and three hundred knights rushing out.

They attacked from both sides at the same time, then attacked the Xixia people's formation, and shouted to surrender without killing. "Zhang Yong said.

Your own off-road vehicle can form a huge deterrent to the local Xixia cavalry. The two lights and roar will scare the horses to death.As long as these horses are frightened, the remaining cavalry troops will not be in danger at all. As for the Mongolian cavalry following them.

In the past month and a half, they have been marching with the off-road vehicles. These horses have developed a certain immunity to the off-road vehicles. They will not be frightened by the horns and lights now.

This is a huge advantage. Horses who have never seen off-road vehicles and do not know about lights and horns will be scared to death when they face this thing for the first time.

"Master Military Advisor, I think this is feasible. We will arrange two more warriors to sit in your car to protect you."

"No need! You just need to follow me closely." Zhang Yong said.

"Yes! Master Military Advisor."

Soon at the mouth of the valley, the leading troops of the Xixia cavalry rushed in.

"General Ji Lasiyi! There is a valley ahead. The Mongols chose a good place. Will there be an ambush ahead?" a Xixia general asked.

"Hahaha! My scouts have already explored this valley. There is a huge basin below. The cavalry can fully deploy, and they don't have that many people setting up ambushes, so there is no need to worry." Ji Lasiyi said.

"Greetings, General."

"Listen, all of you, and let me kill you! Whether they are slaves or Mongolian soldiers. As long as they are living creatures, you will kill them on sight without mercy!" Jila Siyi shouted at the Xixia cavalry behind him.

"Oh! Oh!" the Xixia cavalry roared.

The dark Xixia cavalry rushed down from the valley and soon reached the first line of defense. The dark night did not allow these knights to notice the gap in front of them at all.

On top of these gaps, Zhang Yong specially asked people to lay a layer of straw and then sprinkled soil. It is not easy to observe even during the day, let alone at night.

A large number of Xixia cavalry fell into the chasm, including men and horses, and were stabbed through the heart by the spike trap.

"Ah! Ah!"

"Hey, hey! Hey!" the horse screamed.

The cavalry fell into the trap, and the screams of being impaled resounded across the battlefield.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! Rush over! It's just a trap. Use dead horses to fill the gap, and then cross over." Ji Lasiyi raised the saber in his hand and shouted loudly.

It seems that the Mongolian general opposite is no ordinary person!
They actually knew how to lay some traps to deal with them. The Mongols had already been prepared for them, and this battle was not going to be easy.

The Xixia cavalry, under the command of Ji Lasiyi, filled the first gap with the remains of dead horses and launched another charge.

But then, the second gap delayed their march, and more horses and cavalry fell into the spike trap and were turned into meat skewers.

"Damn it! Keep moving forward." Jila Siyi gritted his teeth and roared.

After paying hundreds of casualties, the Xixia cavalry finally crossed the first line of defense with difficulty. The three dug ditch traps and the spikes inside caused them to suffer certain casualties, but they were still allowed to rush. Come over.

"The Mongols are right in front of us. Everyone, follow me and kill them all." Jila Siyi shouted loudly.

He could see clearly that there were only a few hundred Mongolian cavalry in front.Some slave soldiers in the rear were hiding behind a small earth wall, holding some wooden spears.

Ji Lasiyi didn't take these slave infantry seriously at all, they were just a group of sheep.As long as these hundreds of Mongolian cavalry are eliminated, this gang of miscellaneous slaves only needs a few hundred cavalry to kill them all.

There are a lot of dry firewood and some straw stacked on the second line of defense, and there are some sheep lying in the middle. If you use cattle, you can still block the cavalry charge, but the sheep will be useless!

The little lamb can't stop the cavalry's charge!what are you thinking about?

When the Xixia cavalry came into contact with the second line of defense, Zhang Yong decisively ordered a large number of rockets to be fired on the dry firewood and straw filled with gasoline, and fire suddenly burst into the sky.

"Sheep! Sheep!" The ignited sheep began to scream and run away, successfully delaying the advancement of the Xixia army, and Zhang Yong wanted this effect.

Although the ignited sheep are not as powerful as the cattle, they can still have a certain blocking effect. At least the fire on their bodies can ignite the horses.

"General, these flames are abnormal! Why did they burn up instantly and burn so fiercely?" a Xixia general said.

Generally, when using fire attacks, it still takes a certain amount of time for the fire to burn, and this time is enough for the cavalry troops to rush out, but this time the situation they encountered was slightly different.

After the dry firewood and straw were struck by the rocket, they immediately burst into flames, scaring their horses to death in an instant. The scattered sheep also had a certain blocking effect.

"Damn it! They must have poured some strong fire oil on these dry firewood and straw, so that they can burn so fiercely! Don't be afraid, everyone, reorganize your formation, everyone gather around me, and rush out with me." La Siyi shouted.

The tactics are good, the first trap and the second trap are both good against cavalry units, but even so.

My own casualties will not be too heavy. It is only a matter of time before I rush out. The Mongolian general opposite, let me see what other tricks you have.

After the flames started, Zhang Yong immediately ordered all the Mongolian knights to shoot out the arrows in their hands.

Suddenly, a hail of arrows came to the lieutenant general of the Xixia cavalry, and another part of the Xixia cavalry was shot to death.

Bracing the sea of ​​fire, flocks of sheep running in all directions, and rain of arrows from the Mongols.

The Xixia cavalry rushed out with difficulty. At this time, their casualties had reached one thousand, and the cavalry unit was on the verge of collapse.

If the casualties of the infantry unit reached this number, 1/4 of the troops would have collapsed long ago.Fortunately, these cavalrymen were trained by themselves. Can they still withstand it if they grit their teeth?
Buzz!Buzz!Buzz!There was a sound like thunder.

Two rays of white divine light, like sharp swords, instantly shone into the formation of the Xixia cavalry, giving people the feeling of being in daylight.

The powerful high beams illuminated these Xixia cavalrymen, making it impossible to open their eyes.

A huge monster seemed to appear in front of them, its eyes emitting a strong white light.

"Monster!"

"Ahead, there are monsters in front! The Mongols have monsters!" For a moment, the entire Xixia cavalry team was in panic.

Zhang Yong stepped on the accelerator, pressed the horn on the steering wheel, and led more than 300 Mongolian cavalry directly into the battlefield.

drop!drop!drop!drop! !

The piercing sound of the horn, coupled with the roar of the engine in front and the charging steel monster.

The last straw finally broke the hearts of all Xixia cavalry.

Similarly, the horse riding on their crotch was also frightened half to death, and the knight on his body was lifted off.

A great rout could no longer be stopped. A large number of Xixia cavalry fell off their horses, and the horses began to scatter in all directions. All formations were disrupted.

"Don't panic, don't panic, come to me, come to me, don't be afraid!" Ji Lasiyi tried to comfort the soldiers, but the steel monster with bright eyes in front of him frightened him to the extreme.

After Zhang Yong launched the attack, two other groups of [-] Mongolian cavalry also entered the battlefield, further accelerating the defeat of the Xixia cavalry.
