After listening quietly to Mai Khan's speech, Uyazig expressed his disagreement: I think we should act cautiously. If we chase the enemy into the Hongkang Valley in the Saskatchewan Forest, as my second brother said, that terrain is not conducive to the development of our cavalry. It is not suitable to fight the enemy there. My opinion is to divide 10,000 troops into the valley to chase the enemy, and then divide 10,000 troops to block the northwest, the two valleys and several key points in the northeast, and surround the enemy in the basin. The remaining 30,000 troops are responsible for attacking the aid, and then wipe out the Shilin West Route Army and then free up their hands to deal with the other three routes.
Mai Khan retorted: The Hongkang Valley of the Saskatchewan Black Forest is indeed not conducive to the development of our army, but the basin is a vast open area with flat terrain and sparse vegetation, which does not hinder the galloping of tens of thousands of cavalry in our army. My opinion is that it is imperative to divide troops to defend the two valleys and several key points, but the main force should take advantage of the victory and annihilate the enemy as soon as possible. Only then can we have plenty of rest and turn around to deal with the Millennium Army that surrounded the other three routes.
Others also spoke, but almost the above two opinions were mainly based on the opinions of Mai Khan. However, Uyazig was wise and powerful, and had a good attitude of being a father. Even if only a few people supported his opinions, they were still worthy of attention. The participants could not stand up for a while.
Sharwin weighed it for a while and decided to take the risk of adopting the second son's opinion. It was not that the fifth son's opinion was wrong, but that the key was time!
Facing the four armies of the Millennium Empire that were attacking together, he had to race against time to defeat them one by one. In order to gain this precious time, he had no other choice but to take risks!
He has experienced countless adventures over the decades of battles, and most of them ended with surprise victory. His eldest daughter is like him. He also knows that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly and there is never an absolutely safe strategy to respond to the enemy. Therefore, appropriate adventure has become a habit of commanding battles. He immediately dispatched troops and made arrangements according to his second son's opinion. Then he led the main force into the Hongkang Valley at night, chasing and advancing all the way until he entered the vast basin.
The maneuverability advantage of the Jurchen cavalry is indeed obvious. Shi Lin and Zhao Ting led the army to the middle of the basin and set up the camp tent. The Jurchen army has followed. They have no time to rest. They still take the lead in the spearmen and set up their own formations.
In order to win time, Sharwin could not wait for dawn, so he ordered the army to ignite countless torches and launch a fierce attack overnight, intending to annihilate the first elite millennial army in the basin!
After several fierce battles, Shi Lin used 50,000 elite soldiers to lay down a circular formation and endured waves of attacks by the Jurchen cavalry.
He deployed Zhao Ting's three thousand Xuanfu cavalry in the center of the circular formation as an assault force, blocking the broken gap at critical moments
The fierce battle began in the early morning, and the shouts of killing continued. Sharwin was eager to eat them, Mai Khan, Uyazig, Chikte Monkming and other ministers of the reign almost took turns to fight. The time interval for launching the attack was very short, almost no more than a quarter of an hour, and there was a tendency to be shorter and shorter.
Zhao Ting held the Anqiao with his left hand and held the reins with his right hand. He stood in front of the central cavalry formation, staring at the combat situation around the circular formation. His armor and black flares were covered with blood.
He and Shi Lin knew very well that simple defense would definitely not be able to defend, and offense was the best defense. As the only cavalry unit in this army, the Xuanfu Iron Cavalry, which had few people, was the only assault force, and could only be used to rescue urgently
Shi Lin led his generals to ride back and forth on the circular runway left behind the spearmen in the circular formation, cheering the dense spearmen in front of the formation, constantly telling them loudly, cheering them up: Everyone must hold on, our large army is right behind and will arrive soon! The formation must not be dispersed, otherwise none of them will escape!
The soldiers holding long spears were waiting for the enemy to see General Shi running back and forth not far behind him, and their morale was greatly boosted. They fought to the death with the Jurchen cavalry waving long-handled scimitars and maces, and they fought to the death without retreating. Although the circular formation was occasionally penetrated by the Jurchen army, they were soon filled by the subsequent troops, and the overall formation remained intact.
The fierce battle was noon. The soldiers of the Shilin Army had not eaten a bite of hot rice from last night until now. They were hungry and tired, and were seriously overdrawn. It was not easy to stick to it until now.
At this moment, a serious chaotic situation appeared in the northeast corner of the circular formation. Amid the shouts of shouts and fighting, the sound of weapons and the endless screams, a Jurchen army broke into the formation with an unstoppable attack formation in a neat wedge-shaped attack formation.
Zhao Ting looked at it intently. It was his old opponent Chikte who led thousands of cavalry to successfully break into the circular formation, and then came to the center to bloom, and the soldiers attacked the side and back of the official spear array everywhere!
The infantry brothers really couldn't resist the enemy, and a huge gap was torn open in the round formation. The subsequent Jurchen Iron Cavalry, who was like a wolf and a tiger, was constantly waving scimitars and maces, shouting and swarming in!
Because the enemy was full of heavy cavalry in armor, they were progressing very quickly, and the gaps that were opened tended to grow bigger and bigger!
If the circular formation is completely disrupted, the entire army will be wiped out!
Zhao Ting did not dare to hesitate, pulled out the heavy iron spear from the saddle bag, raised the tip of the spear high and waved it to the northeast, and led all the Xuanfu cavalry to pounce on the Chikt army!
In order to leave space for the Xuanfu Iron Cavalry, Shilin arranged the formation and left a road several meters wide for the central army in four directions of the dense infantry array. The impact speed of the light cavalry under Zhao Ting's command was faster than that of the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, like rolling up a ball of dark clouds on the ground and rushing towards the Jurchen Army who broke into the formation.
The two iron cavalry collided head-on. Both knights were skilled in bows and horses and were good at fighting immediately. The hedge was more than ten feet deep. Many knights on both sides were knocked off the horse, chopped by scimitars, spear stabs and maces!
The cavalry legions usually suffered heavy casualties at the moment when they attacked each other. Then the two were entangled together and fought fiercely. The sound of weapons colliding and the sound of fighting and shouts suddenly sounded, which was even more thrilling than before!
This kind of head-on cavalry competition is becoming more and more bloody and tragic. Both sides do not lack the courage to fight bloody battles. The results of the battle are often more powerful than which side and more powerful.
Zhao Ting was intimate with his side not having an advantage in this regard. He hurriedly responded to Shi Lin, who came over to take remedial measures, shouted: General Shi, quickly transfer the reserve team to fill the gap, and arrange for the sword and axe driver to deal with the enemy who broke into the formation and fell alone. I will deal with this guy Chikte!
He grabbed the horse's belly and surrounded by several deputy generals and shot Chikte directly!
This is not the first time the two of them have confronted each other. Last time Chickt suffered a great loss. Now the enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. He roars, roaring like thunder, and waving a heavy long-handled scimitar to greet them.
Zhao Ting couldn't understand what Chikte was yelling, but most of it wasn't good things, so he shouted without hesitation: I will still make you embarrassed this time! Following the opponent's gesture, he shook out seven gun flowers and stabbed them hard!
As the saying goes, a weapon is one inch long and one inch stronger. The iron gun in his hand can be held with one hand and grows longer than the long-handled scimitar in Chickt's hand. The effective attack distance is longer. He will never miss this opportunity to take action.
Holding such a heavy iron spear in his right hand alone, he could shake out seven gun flowers. He is indeed a tiger general under the Princess's tent!
Chickt had seen his power, but he didn't dare to neglect it. When the tip of the gun was barely close, he didn't use a scimitar to block it. Instead, he suddenly turned to the other side. He had no way to judge which of the seven shiny gun tips were false and which one was true. He had avoided everything.
The iron spear slid quickly from his side. He straightened his body and shouted, and the scimitar cut down Huashan with a force. He was also very powerful and waving the heavy long-handled scimitar with his right hand. It was still powerful and powerful. The sword technique was more flexible and varied when it was used.
Zhao Ting withdrew his straight right arm, held the handle of the spear with both hands and raised it to meet the sharp scimitar that was slashed down. A loud bang suddenly came from his ear, and a powerful force rushed towards his arms. He quickly bent his arms and used this to cushion such a powerful and heavy blow. Even so, the horse's back sank slightly, and he stepped down and sighed and neighed!
He frowned and murmured: What do Jurchens eat?
This guy is so powerful!
The horse heads of both sides quickly interlaced, staring at each other fiercely, they were old rivals
Zhao Ting dared not neglect. The so-called shortness of an inch is a dangerous one. The weapon that is slightly shorter during close combat has an advantage. In addition to the powerful force of cutting down, the opponent's long-handled scimitar often has a second chance to take action. Sure enough, the whistle whistle in his ears came again. Chikte swept over him with a backhand, and he raised his iron spear to block it again, and another loud bang!
After blocking this attack, he used the iron spear as a stick, and his arms were intertwined and swept it out in a round way, hitting Chikte like a river and sea, as if it was booming!
To deal with such an attack, I can't dodge on the horse, and Chikte can only erect a scimitar to block it.
Just like the last time the two fought, the two sides fought equally within dozens of rounds, and Chickt, who had more strength, gradually gained the upper hand.
But Zhao Ting was not fighting alone. His deputy generals also provided him with strong support while fighting each other.
The Xuanfu Iron Cavalry trained various tactics such as individual storm, teams cooperated with killing enemies, and cluster charges, with solid basic skills and extremely rich practical experience immediately. In addition to the strong combat ability of individual soldiers, their strong combat power is also reflected in coordinated combat. This is the common feature of all the troops under the eldest princess. Of course, steel-based discipline is the basic guarantee for doing this.
After fifty rounds of battle, Zhao Ting took advantage of the gap between the two sides' war horses, and looked at the battlefield situation. However, he saw that the three soldiers of the Xuanfu Iron Cavalry used their lives, and they all fought bloody battles without retreating. They fought with the Jurchen heavy iron cavalry, which made the opponent unable to gallop in their own round formation.
Mai Khan retorted: The Hongkang Valley of the Saskatchewan Black Forest is indeed not conducive to the development of our army, but the basin is a vast open area with flat terrain and sparse vegetation, which does not hinder the galloping of tens of thousands of cavalry in our army. My opinion is that it is imperative to divide troops to defend the two valleys and several key points, but the main force should take advantage of the victory and annihilate the enemy as soon as possible.
