False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

now,

Atta Timur's heart was filled with shock and doubt.

He never expected that he would suffer such a heavy blow.

Looking at the more than 2,000 people who escaped back, their bodies were also scarred, and their crossbows and arrows were intertwined, like hedgehogs.

The faces of these people were full of panic and fear, which made Atta Timur feel that the situation was serious.

In other words.

Of the three thousand people sent out this time, half of them lost their combat effectiveness!

What made him even more furious was the momentum displayed by this Han army.

Atta Timur had seen the Southern Song army that was on the verge of collapse, and had also seen the Southern Song soldiers who fought hard. However, these were completely different from the performance of the Han army in front of him.

In his impression,

The imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty castrated the dignity of warriors, causing the soldiers, no matter how capable they were to fight, to lose their due spirit and become like eunuchs.

Even if they have a male face, anyone with a discerning eye can see their flaws.

On the other hand, look at the infantry led by Wei Qing.

Although they were also Southern Song people recruited in the secret realm, it was the Yulin Guardsmen who served as the backbone of the army.

As the saying goes, the morale of an army depends not only on the chief general, but also on the middle and lower-level generals.

These Yu Linwei, who came from Li Tang and had not lost a single battle with Lin Chen, already had the foundation for a strong army in ancient and modern times.

Their eyes were firm and resolute, as if declaring their fearlessness and determination.

Coupled with Wei Qing's training and the generous treatment given by Lin Chen, everyone's face was filled with the desire to fight.

foreseeable…

This new Yulin army composed of Southern Song Dynasty men can be reborn after just a few bloody battles!

This was also one of Lin Chen's intentions.

Training!

Wei Qing looked at the enemy and silently recited the word "not bad".

What he meant by "not bad" was the Mongolian cavalry in front of him.

In Wei Qing's view, although the overall level of these cavalry is not as good as that of the Yu Lin Hussars, they are not far behind Li Tang's border troops.

All I can say is that today is going to be a tough battle.

After all.

It had only been less than two months since he took over the training of these newly recruited soldiers.

It’s still not enough after all…

Wei Qing sighed, thinking that if his master could mobilize two thousand white soldiers from outside to join the newly recruited infantry, he would be confident of winning today.

He had seen those elite infantry soldiers wearing heavy armor and decorating their helmets with white feathers before he dared to say this.

But...

Wei Qing looked into the distance and nodded slightly.

According to Lin Chen's plan, he only needed to hold back the Mongolian cavalry.

Wei Qing's test is over.

Atta Timur was looking for an opportunity.

An opportunity to defeat the Han army in front of him in one fell swoop.

therefore.

Under Wei Qing's gaze.

The tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry moved.

Under the leadership of Atta Timur, the rumble of horse hooves echoed between heaven and earth like thunder.

This scene made many infantrymen who were on the battlefield for the first time look pale and have cold sweat break out on their foreheads.

"Raise your shield!"

Seeing this, an experienced soldier of the Yulin Guard shouted a reminder.

as expected.

The next second, countless densely packed arrows poured down, like raindrops hitting the eaves.

This has to mention the Mongolian cavalry and shooting tactics pioneered by Temujin.

in short.

fly a kite.

Although Mongolian horses are small in size, they have excellent endurance.

In addition, the Mongols on the grassland are good at archery and have elite eagle shooters.

This tactic played an excellent advantage in dealing with the Southern Song Dynasty with few horses.

Or.

Starting from the Northern Song Dynasty, large-scale cavalry could not be formed.

You know, to deal with the nomads, before the emergence of artillery, the only way to deal with the nomads was to rely on cavalry.

At least the Han and Tang Dynasties verified this.

Even if you defeat the nomadic army with infantry, you won't be able to catch up if the opponent wants to run away.

So when you look at the Song Dynasty's use of troops against foreigners, you often find one thing.

That is, when the two sides faced each other in formation, the Song Army had the advantage.

But when the foreigners were defeated and wanted to run away, and the Song army pursued them, they would often make mistakes, or even fall into a trap and be defeated directly.

As the saying goes, exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses.

The Mongolian army took full advantage of its strengths and rained arrows continuously.

All Wei Qing could do at this moment was to take a beating.

Even if the crossbow arrows fired in counterattack could not keep up with the movement speed of the Mongolian cavalry, the damage caused was minimal, but our own casualties were gradually increasing.

It can only be said that shrinking your head and being beaten like a turtle is not very effective in front of the Mongolian cavalry.

They are like a pack of wolves, relying on their excellent endurance to hang behind their prey, bleed, and sneak attack.

Until the prey fell from exhaustion, the Mongolian cavalry swarmed up again and feasted on the flesh and blood.

Whenever Wei Qing wanted to change his military formation and launch an attack.

The Mongolian cavalry will retreat.

The mobility of the cavalry is fully demonstrated at this moment!

Even Wei Qing was helpless when faced with this situation.

Logically speaking.

At this moment, all generals who are familiar with the art of war know that they should form a formation and retreat at this time.

Either find a dangerous place to hold on to, or retreat directly.

This is what Ata Timur was waiting for.

You know, it is extremely difficult to organize a large army to retreat. If you are not careful, the retreat may turn into a rout!

Coupled with the harassment of Mongolian cavalry, retreats turned into routs were very common among the armies of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Atta Timur was waiting for this opportunity.

finally!

The Han general seemed unable to bear the pressure.

Under the watchful eye of Atta Timur, he began to move the military formation flag as if he was about to retreat.

Seeing this, Atta Timur became energetic.

Just as he thought.

At this moment, the Mongolian cavalry, which was pressed by the entire army, began to charge.

The Han army's military formation, which had not withdrawn a few steps, suddenly changed.

It turns out.

Atta Timur ignored one thing because of his impatience.

That is, although the Han army in front of us has suffered a lot of casualties, it has not yet collapsed!

Wei Qing is a famous general after all.

He immediately seized this opportunity and showed his fangs.

The dug horse pit worked.

The Mongolian war horses in the front row all fell to the ground.

The roaring and wailing sounds are endless.

There were even infantrymen who were hit by both men and horses, and they vomited blood.

With hundreds of kilograms of force, no matter how high the speed, even a third-rate warrior could not stop it!

The fighting began.

Atta Timur's eyes widened.

It was beyond his expectation.

This Han army stopped the first wave of charge by the Mongolian cavalry!

The terrifying combat power displayed by these Han soldiers, whom he considered to be extremely weak, at this moment made Atta Timur even more frightened.

He noticed even more.

There seems to be some kind of red light emerging from these Han soldiers!

witchcraft? Or magic? !

Atta Timur did not understand what the method of military formation was.

Just when he was about to give the order to withdraw and regroup, he suddenly saw a looming figure not far away from the corner of his eyes.

On the sunny side where these figures were located, Atta Timur subconsciously squinted his eyes to avoid the hot sunlight.

But when he got used to the dazzling sunlight, what he saw shocked him.

That is a group of black armor cavalry that have been lined up neatly and are ready to go!
