Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 44 Zalandin fights against the odds
Usually when the Mongolian army starts a fight, they first distance themselves from the enemy, and then harass the opponent's cavalry.

For example, shoot their horses, and then induce the opponent's cavalry to take the initiative to fight. If the opponent cannot help but take the initiative to fight, they will soon be separated from the infantry camp. Once the cavalry and infantry units are separated.

The infantry camp is in dire straits. No matter how many people you have, if thousands of Mongolian cavalry rush over, it will be a massacre like chopping melons and vegetables.

In this era, cavalry was a massacre against infantry. Even until the [-]th and [-]th centuries, the cavalry did not completely withdraw from the stage of history. It was not until the emergence of semi-automatic weapons in World War I that the cavalry completely withdrew from the stage of history.

Dealing with enemy cavalry is what the Mongols are good at. Mongolian horses are indeed not as explosive as Central Asian war horses.

But the endurance of Mongolian horses is very good. They only need to lead this group of cavalry in circles, and the strong Mongolian bows can accurately shoot their horses, allowing them to continuously reduce their numbers.

Then it was gradually encroached and eliminated by the Mongolian army.

If the opponent cannot hold on, the Mongolian cavalry will circle around them and continue to launch long-range strikes.

With this almost unsolvable tactic, the Mongolian cavalry can be said to be invincible in field battles.

In just a short time, the approximately 1 Khwarezm soldiers were beaten to their knees.

Some cavalry could not hold back and rushed out. As a result, they were shot to death by bows and arrows before they could reach the Mongolian army.

After the cavalry suffered almost all casualties, the Mongolian cavalry rushed into the infantry camp and began a feast of massacre.

In just an hour or so, all the 1 Huarazim troops were killed, and the heads of the generals were presented in front of Genghis Khan.

"Great Khan! This should not be Zalandin's main force, and it seems to be here to delay our time." The Mongolian general said.

"Well! Zalandin is still very smart. He knows that he can't fight us head-on, so he doesn't want to fight us at all. I'm afraid he just sent these people here to delay time and want to cross the river. In this case, let's send them Rush down to the river and continue the pursuit." Genghis Khan ordered.

The army continued to move forward, and after walking for about two hours, they came to a river valley, surrounded by mountains on both sides. Below, a large number of Khwarezm people were gathering, and there were dozens of large boats at the ferry.

"Zhang Yong, send your flying artifact out. I want to see what's going on over there." Genghis Khan stuck his head out the window and looked out, then turned to Zhang Yong and said.

"Sweat!" Zhang Yong nodded, hurriedly got out of the car, moved the drone out of the trunk, quickly assembled it, and then used the controller to remotely control the drone and fly into the sky.

The drone was as big as an eagle, and it did not emit any light during the day. It did not arouse the alert of the Khwarezm army. They thought it was just a strange black bird.

Soon, the images in front were transmitted into the screen, and Genghis Khan had a panoramic view.

"Hahaha! Zhang Yong, look at what formation they have here?" Genghis Khan looked at the picture transmitted back by the drone, smiled and looked at Zhang Yong and asked.

At this time, there were about 20 Khwarezm people gathered in the river valley, an army of about 6 to 10,000 people, and [-]+ ordinary civilians.

In the middle, a man riding a white horse, who looked to be 25 or [-] years old, wearing a round hat and gorgeous robes, was commanding the army. Around him, he was surrounded by hundreds of elite heavy cavalry.

Under his order, Khwarezm's Chinese infantry camp formed an arc formation with strong impact resistance and gathered in the center of the valley. Two lines of cavalry were arranged on both sides.

One of the cavalry is the Gural Cavalry, which is a heavy cavalry in Afghanistan and the most elite cavalry unit of the Sultan of Khwarezm.

They all wore heavy armor and carried spears, and even their horses were equipped with heavy armor.On the other side were some light cavalry, equipped with some leather armor and ordinary scimitars.

At this moment, these soldiers looked at the large number of Mongolian troops on the hillside. Except for the Gular cavalry, they all showed expressions of fear, especially the infantry phalanx.

"Bhan! Is this the backwater formation?" Zhang Yong asked.

Isn't it a bit too much for you to fight against the odds?Is this how you play the backwater formation?
But if you were fighting against the enemy, why did you just send an army of 1 people to stop Genghis Khan's troops?

Wouldn't it be better to just gather all the troops together?
Especially the cavalry units, if they can go around in advance and launch attacks from the rear of the Mongolian army after the war begins, they will definitely be more effective, while the infantry phalanx resists the pressure in the front.

Retreating means death. There are still a large number of old, weak, women, children and civilians in the rear. The soldiers will explode with stronger combat effectiveness.

As a result, this guy actually placed two cavalrymen on the right and left sides, and also sent an army to harass Genghis Khan. What the hell kind of strategy is this?

"I have read your Han military books. There were two last-ditch battles, one fought by Xiang Yu and one fought by Han Xin.

They are all risking their lives to survive, leaving the soldiers without any escape route. They can only survive by fighting to the death. Do you think his arrangement of this backwater formation is wrong? Genghis Khan glanced at Zhang Yong and asked.

"Well! It's indeed wrong, but sweat! Even if the opponent forms a perfect defensive formation, there is no chance of winning. The strength gap between the enemy and us is really too big, and they have no hope of winning at all." Zhang Yong said.

This guy was facing the world-famous Mongolian cavalry, and it was the Mongolian cavalry at its strongest period.

Are you actually playing the backwater formation?
You, Zalandin, are not Han Xin or Xiang Yu, and your opponent is not Zhang Han or Long Qie, but Genghis Khan, the powerful genius of the world.

The backwater formation can indeed greatly improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, but you also have to look at who will play.

Since ancient times, many generals have not dared to use the backwater formation easily, because once used, it failed.

That was the fate of the entire army being wiped out. Most of the people who used the backwater formation, except Han Xin and Xiang Yu, were driven down the river and fed to the fish.

What's more, there are a large number of civilians behind you. Are you trying to imitate our imperial uncle and lead the people across the river?

"He doesn't want to play a backwater formation at all, and he doesn't know how to carry a water formation. He just wants to run! The soldiers he sent are just to delay time so that he can get on the boat and run." Genghis Khan said with a cold snort.

Zhang Yong was a little speechless, so you just wanted to run away.

The next scene from the drone also made Zhang Yong's jaw drop.

I saw the new Sultan Zalandin saying something loudly to the civilians, and then ordered the soldiers to push all the old, weak, women and children into the river and drown them.

All the men picked up hoes, sticks and the like and became cannon fodder infantry.

What kind of operation is this?
