Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 159 Fighting Iron Kites, disgusting Mongolian cavalry and shooting tactics
"Report to the Master! The enemy has about 1 cavalry. Because they are all cavalry, we dare not get too close and cannot determine the exact number." Tan Ma said.

"I know, I'm scouting! When they are about twenty miles away from us, come over and report, and then see if there are any other reinforcements behind them. I want to know everything." Zhang Yong said.

When it is more than 20 miles away from you, it happens to be the detection distance of the drone. At that time, you can find out the exact number of people on the other side.

"It's Master Military Advisor." Scout Tan Ma hugged Zhang Yong's fists, quickly stood up and galloped away on horseback.

The distance is more than 30 miles. For the cavalry, if they are fast, they can arrive in less than an hour.

But for infantry, it is good to be able to cover 30 miles a day. Even if there are many war horses and pack horses on their side, the marching speed is not very fast. After all, the amount of grain and grass being escorted this time is really large.

"My military order is that you take two hundred horses to explore the surrounding areas. If you see Xixia's scouting horses, capture and kill them immediately. You must not let the enemy go." Zhang Yong said.

Fortunately, I took a detour, otherwise, I would have bumped into this cavalry now.

Ten minutes later, the Tanma Zhang Yong had just sent out had returned.

"What's the situation? Have you found out the exact number of people? Are there reinforcements behind them?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Master Military Advisor, I dare not get too close, but it should be about 1 people.

The enemy shouldn't have discovered us yet, but they discovered me. They sent a few scouts to catch up with me, but I turned around and fired arrows and shot them to death.

Their advance was not fast, but they sent out a large number of scout horses to search around, except for the cavalry.

There was another infantry group about ten miles away from them, numbering about five to six thousand, and they should have come from Xiliang Mansion. Tan Ma said.

"I understand, you instruct all the Tanma brothers to delay the Tanma hunting around the Xixia people for as long as you can, and try not to let them discover us." Zhang Yong said.

Killing their detection code can probably delay a little bit of time and give yourself a little more time to prepare.

"Pass my military order, all the officers and men in the army will advance slowly, and all the centurions and above will come to me to discuss the military situation." Zhang Yong said.

After a while, all the centurions gathered at Zhang Yong.Also arriving at the same time were five thousand captains and Guyu, the eldest son of Wo Kuotai.

"Everyone, the Xixia Iron Kites Army has arrived, numbering about 6000. Behind them are about 20 infantry. They are still more than [-] miles away from us. Take a look at their marching scene. "Zhang Yong placed the drone's display screen on the table and let all the Mongolian generals watch it.

Not long ago, Zhang Yong had already let the drone take off.

The Xixia army was soon discovered in front. They were not advancing at full speed now. They probably still hadn't found themselves and others, but they should be soon.

At this time, drones flew over the Xixia army, exposing all their troops to the Mongols.

It has to be said that drones are really a miracle in this era. They are invincible in investigation and can even be said to be from a God's perspective.

"This is an army of [-] iron kites. Judging from their equipment, they should all be heavy cavalry." A captain said.

"We should not have been discovered yet, otherwise we should have been pursuing them with all their strength. They did not pursue us with all their strength." Another Mongolian captain said.

"How do you think we should fight?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Master Military Advisor, we can just accept the challenge. We are not afraid of the [-] Iron Kites Army. Just lead us to fight!"

"Yes! Master Strategist, the enemy is only twice as many as us. Last time you defeated [-] cavalry with [-] cavalry. There is no need to be afraid of us this time. Just fight them off." A hundred cavalrymen. The captain spoke.

The last time he fought with Zhang Yong, they defeated [-] Xixia cavalry with [-] cavalry. It was a great victory, which made them very confident in Zhang Yong, the commander.

"Brother Zhang, I will take the lead in the charge, and you will lead us in target shooting!" Guyu pulled out his saber and looked at Zhang Yong with excitement.

The last time he annihilated [-] Song troops, Guyu's fight was not very enjoyable!They haven't fought the enemy head-on, but now they finally have a chance.

"Of course we will fight them. Strategist, you lead us to fight them. 5000 people fight [-] people. We are not afraid of them. Moreover, the heavy cavalry are not as fast as us. We can kill them by firing arrows." A Mongolian The general spoke.

They are very experienced in dealing with the Xixia cavalry. After all, they have fought with the Xixia people for more than ten years. They have always won more than they lost.
It is even said that he has never been defeated, and most of the battles are fought with less and more.

Damn it, these Mongolian generals are really a bunch of militants!When I saw the Xixia Iron Harrier Army coming, I was not afraid at all, but wanted to fight.

The Iron Harriers are not light cavalry, but real heavy cavalry. The impact is quite terrifying. Fighting them at close range is simply asking for death, so the advantages of Mongolian light cavalry must be used.

But Zhang Yong also had concerns. If there were only [-] Mongolian cavalry, Zhang Yong would immediately attack them without saying a word.

After all, the advantage of Mongolian light cavalry is too great. It is easy to fly kites to help the iron kite army. After all, the enemy cannot catch up.

But the problem is that they still have [-] civilians escorting a large amount of grain and grass. If the Xixia people don't come to chase them and come directly to this batch of grain and grass, things will be bad.

This is also what Zhang Yong is most worried about. Ten thousand heavy cavalry are rushing over. The lethality should not be too terrifying, not to mention there are six thousand infantry behind them!These ten thousand people have no fighting power at all.

The current situation is that the troops must be divided. If 4000 people are to fight 1 people, there must be at least 1000 people watching this group of civilians, otherwise they will definitely escape.

"I'm happy that everyone has the courage to fight bravely, but we have a task at hand now.

This batch of grain and grass is needed by Genghis Khan. If we cannot deliver this batch of grain and grass to the hands of the Great Khan, it will affect the entire war against Xixia, so this batch of grain and grass cannot be lost.

Guyou, I will leave you 1000 people to watch over these civilians. You take them and continue to advance towards Xuanhua Mansion. The other four thousand cavalry will follow me, and we will go to deal with those Xixia troops. "Zhang Yong said.

After all, he is the eldest son of Ogedai, so nothing can happen to Guyu.

"I don't want it. Brother Zhang, let me go into battle with you to kill the enemy. You let others lead these civilians forward, or find a place for them to hide first, and then take them to continue walking after we finish the battle." You said.

"Master Military Advisor, Master Subotai should be not far away from us. Why don't we send people first and let General Subotai come over quickly for support." A Mongolian captain said.

Just yesterday morning, the envoy sent by Genghis Khan finally met Zhang Yong.

He also informed Zhang Yong that Subotai, one of the Four Mastiffs, had been dispatched with [-] cavalry to support him.

The Subotai army was still two days away from them. If converted to today's time, it should be one day away, or even less than one day away.

If you just hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive.

"It's still too late. I'm afraid that by the time General Subotai and the others arrive, the battlefield here will be over." Zhang Yong said.

Including the two hundred personal guard cavalry sent by Wokuotai, they now have a total of 4000 and two hundred people who can take the initiative to attack.

I can't wait for Subotai anymore, so now I can only bite the bullet and fight.

Fortunately, the gang under him is fierce enough. If there were four thousand Song troops, Zhang Yong should consider his retreat.

But if there are four thousand Mongolian cavalry, then the problem is not big. There is still a chance of winning on our side, and the chance of winning is very high.

After all, the Mongols and Xixia are old rivals.

"Brother Zhang, and all the generals, please don't underestimate me. I am also a descendant of Genghis Khan. I am the son of Ogedai. I also have a saber, and the blood flowing in my body is also blood." Guyu took out his saber, He spoke.

This time, after finally following his father on the battlefield, he had to make a contribution no matter what.

"Okay! Since you have the courage, then follow us to kill the enemy. I will replace them with another person, General Cha Tuohua, and you will watch over this with a thousand cavalry. The civilians will continue to escort the food and grass. Advance towards Xuanhua Mansion, move throughout the night, and don't rest at night." Zhang Yong looked at another Mongolian captain and said.

"Master Military Advisor! Just leave me 500 men and horses. With 500 men and horses, I can watch over these 1 people. You can bring more people to fight the Xixia people." Zha Tuohua said.

The more people the military advisor can bring, the better. He leaves five hundred people, which is enough to keep an eye on these ten thousand people. After all, these people don't even have weapons.

"This is my military order, you lead them forward immediately." Zhang Yong said.

There cannot be less than 1000 people, otherwise we will not be able to look down on these people.

"Yes! Master Military Advisor, I will rush to General Subotai as soon as possible and ask him to come and support you. You must hold on," Zha Tuohua said.
"Chatuohua, don't worry! By the time you arrive at General Subotai's place, we will have finished killing these Xixia people." Another Mongolian captain said.

Chatuohua clasped his fists at Zhang Yong and others, immediately ordered all 1000 of his own troops, and escorted [-] civilians and provisions to continue moving forward.Before leaving, Chatohua ordered his Mongolian cavalry to keep only three arrows in their quivers, and all the remaining arrows were reserved for the remaining four thousand cavalry.

After Chatuhua left, Zhang Yong immediately started to control the drone and flew back.

"Guiyou! Your father handed you over to me, and I naturally want to ensure your safety. You should wear this black helmet!" Zhang Yong found Guyu alone and handed the Tire brand helmet in his hand. other side.

"Brother Zhang, what are you bringing me?" Guyu asked.

Still, he took the helmet very honestly.

"I don't need it. I will command the entire army. I will be on the edge of the battlefield, accompanied by the personal guards your father gave me. In addition, I will allocate half of these personal guards to you, and you can lead them to charge." Zhang Yong said.

I'm not good at martial arts. Didn't I cause trouble in the past?

He must have someone behind him shouting 666!
"Brother Zhang, if you want to command the entire battlefield, leave it to me to charge and kill the enemy. I will show the Iron Duck Army how brave I, Guyu, am." Guyu put on the black helmet on his head, with a look on his face. He said excitedly.

Damn it, don't tell me, after putting on this black tire brand helmet, this guy really feels like a racing party.

"Yeah! Remember! You follow those thousands of captains, don't fight them head-on, keep harassing them, just shoot arrows at them." Zhang Yong said.

This time the off-road vehicle is not around, Zhang Yong can only count on these Mongolian cavalry to be powerful enough.

Half an hour later, ten thousand Xixia Iron Kites troops appeared in front of Zhang Yong and others.

"Your Excellency Weiming Linggong, the Mongolian army was found ahead, and our spies were killed there." A Xixia detective came to the front of Weiming Linggong and said.

They had sent out a large number of scouting horses before, but only the scouting horses in this direction did not come back to report, so it goes without saying that the Mongols must be in this direction.

So they immediately chased after them, and sure enough they found the Mongolian cavalry troops.

"How many are there?" Wei Mingling asked openly.

"It should be around four to five thousand, half less than us." Tan Ma said.

"Have you noticed the baggage troops behind them?" Wei Mingling asked openly.

What he cares most about is grain and grass. This batch of grain and grass is too important, both for Xixia and Mongolia.

"Sir, the road ahead is blocked by the Mongols. Our scouting horses can't get through. We won't know until we get closer."

"Well! Sons, have you seen it? The Mongols are over there. They plan to take away our city and our land! They will take away our wives, sons, and kill all our parents. Can you agree? ?" Lord Weiming raised the spear in his hand and asked.

He wants to give the final battle encouragement.

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

"Okay! You two are dealing with a Mongolian cavalry. Remember, you must catch up with them before the horse's strength is exhausted. Everyone follow me to kill." Under the leadership of Weiming Linggong.

After seeing Zhang Yong's cavalry troops, the [-] Iron Harriers launched a charge without any nonsense.

Zhang Yong nodded to the Mongolian commander on the side. The commander immediately led more than a hundred archers to set their bows and arrows, and lit fire on the arrows.

Zhang Yong had also made some arrangements before, laying some dry firewood and branches on the path that the Xixia cavalry must pass.

And poured the last remaining bit of gasoline on it, intending to create a wall of fire.

When the Xixia Iron Kites were still three hundred steps away from them, hundreds of rockets were fired, igniting the first wall of fire, and then the second wall of fire was ignited.

Suddenly, some horses were frightened by the flames and knocked off their iron kite cavalry.

However, Wei Minglinggong was worthy of being the last famous general of Xixia. He quickly stabilized the formation and crossed the two fire walls at a slight cost.

There were still about 150 steps away from the Mongolian cavalry, and they were greeted by the next wave of arrows.

Under Zhang Yong's order, these Mongolian cavalry did not aim at the iron kite knights on the horses, but at the horses beneath them.

Although the horses equipped by the heavy cavalry were also covered with thick armor, their eyes, noses and most of their skin were still exposed.

So as long as their mounts are shot to death, they will change from cavalry to infantry.

"Let's go! Don't fight them in close combat. Lead them around the area. Don't shoot their people, just shoot their horses." Zhang Yong gave the order and was the first to turn around and lead everyone back.

The kite flying tactics began.

A large number of Mongolian cavalry raised their whips to whip their horses and began to run wildly.

The advantages of Mongolian horses and light cavalry began to appear at this moment, and the Xixia people could not catch up with them.

Under Zhang Yong's order, this group of Mongolian cavalry would turn around from time to time and rain down arrows on them, all targeting the horses under their crotches.

Suddenly, large numbers of horses were shot to death, and the cavalry fell from above.

"Don't pursue, search nearby and find traces of their baggage troops. The Mongols must not be allowed to get these grains.

Even if we cannot get them, we must destroy them and set them on fire. "Seeing the Mongols' shameless fighting style, Weiming Linggong immediately ordered the entire army to stop the pursuit.

The current situation is that if you chase these cavalry, you will be killed by them sooner or later. Shooting people first and shooting horses is really a shameless trick.

In this case, I will attack the grain and grass first, so under the order of the general, this group of Xixia Iron Kites began to stop pursuing the Mongolian cavalry.

Turn and head in another direction, the direction that the ten thousand people left.

After all, there were a lot of horse and wheel marks on the ground, and they could still see them.

But Zhang Yong won't let him get what he wants, so you can't do it if you don't chase him!
The most disgusting thing about the Mongolian light cavalry is that you can't reach them. When you don't want to fight, they will chase you and keep consuming you. When you want to fight, they will run away.

Then he still shoots arrows to consume you.

It is not that easy to retreat. The Mongolian cavalry saw the Xixia Iron Kites retreating.

He immediately turned his horse's head and chased after them, releasing waves of arrows behind them.

"Sir, this can't go on like this! What should we do?" In just a short time, more than 1000 war horses had been shot to death.

As for the Iron Kites who had fallen off their horses, they had no power to fight back against the Mongols. The Mongols just came over with a saber and their lives were harvested.

what to do?How do I know what to do.

The Mongols relied on this rogue style of play to defeat the Jin people.

They defeated us and also defeated Khwarezm in the West.

If we could crack their tactics, I, Xixia, wouldn't be beaten like this.

Only then did Zhang Yong, who was riding a horse, realize how disgusting the Mongolian cavalry tactics were to people of this era!
This style of play is really disgusting!

"Everyone, including the horses, threw off their helmets and took off their armor. They only took weapons, reduced the weight of the horses, turned the horses' heads, and charged the Mongolian soldiers!!" Weiming Linggong roared.

never mind!Risk your life!
