1413 Alert Babutai
Babutai said slowly, "Since there are no cavalry, where will their cavalry be?"
Lukedehun said: "Maybe they did not send cavalry. If they follow their current fighting style, these tens of thousands of infantry will be enough to open up the food route."
Babutai shook his head and said, "Things must be wrong! Today is the sixth day we are guarding here. Why are their infantry still attacking slowly? Are they not afraid of the food and grass ahead not being able to provide assistance?"
Wudahai said: "I didn't consider this issue at first, but according to the general's words, there is really a problem here! We have always fought with the Ming army, and they have always been mixed with infantry and cavalry, and have never sent troops to fight us alone."
Babutai pointed to the location on the west side of Gaotai Fort on the map and said, "So I think their cavalry should be waiting for us in this direction."
Luke Dehun said: "No way? If that's the case, these Shandong soldiers would be too arrogant! Do they think their cavalry can beat us? This is simply a joke!"
Babutai pointed to the map and said, "That may not be possible! Look, these Ming army infantry are very close to us now. If their purpose is not to open up the food channels, but to clamp us in the north and south, and compress our range of activities? Once they are pinched from the north and south, and then the opponent's cavalry blocks us from the west, what should we do?"
Wudahai said: "Just breaking their cavalry! I don't believe they can beat us!"
At this time, Lukedhun reacted and said, "I understand! If the other party entangles us with cavalry and surrounds us with infantry, we will be done!"
Wudahai is not a stupid person either. He immediately felt a cold sweat when he thought about it! He immediately turned to look at Babutai. Babutai nodded and said, "Lucedhun's words make sense! So we can't stay here in Gaotai Castle anymore!"
Luke Dehun said, "But if we leave here, how do you explain it to the prince?"
Babutai said in a deep voice: "You don't have to care about the prince, I will naturally explain it! Although we cannot complete the task of cutting off the food route, I
Take all the troops back. And what you don't know is that before you come back, I have already asked someone to pack up and set off immediately when you come back."
When Luke Dehun and the others said this, they felt relieved. Anyway, someone took the responsibility, so they naturally stopped talking. They agreed immediately. The camp immediately arranged for the soldiers to pack their luggage immediately.
At that moment, the three of them studied the marching route and finally decided to return the same route. Because although this road is a little farther away, it can get rid of the Ming army's infantry far away. Even if it is blocked by the Ming cavalry, they can still be defeated! If there are infantry on the side, this battle will be difficult to fight!
After they dispersed and prepared for half an hour, the Qing army of the brigade lined up from Gaotai Fort and advanced west along the road when they came.
The Qing soldiers in the brigade advanced less than 80 miles away. The ranger exploring the way forward reported that the Ming army's ranger appeared! And the two sides fought fiercely! It seemed that the Ming army's ranger was determined not to let the Qing army's ranger continue to advance westward.
After carefully interrogating the Rangers, Babutai ordered, "Tell me my order and prepare for battle! The Ming army's cavalry blocked us in front! In addition, he sent three times the Rangers and told him to break through the Ming army's blockade! I want to see how many Ming army people are there on the opposite side?"
The Qing cavalry responded relatively quickly, and immediately a large number of people were selected to act as a roar and began to advance toward the fast horses in front.
When Yang Jingfa on the opposite side knew that he had encountered the Qing army's ranger, he knew that Babutai, who was leading the army, was a smart guy! Because he took the lead and left Gaotai Fort, the two infantry attacked him from both sides completely lost their power!
However, Yang Jingfa didn't care, because the 30,000 cavalry he had at his hands was his old foundation when he started his business, and he commanded it like an arm! So he had absolutely confidence to overturn the 30,000 Qing cavalry on the opposite side!
So he hesitated for a moment and said, "Tell the people below to double the ranger! When you meet the Qing army's ranger, don't over-obstruct them. Put some people over moderately so that they can see us. Otherwise, they won't see us, don't know how many of us are, and what should I do if I dare not come?"
Yang Jingfa made a good arrangement
, but he didn't expect that the Qing army opposite would add three times the ranger! The rangers also wanted to cause some damage to the Qing army and then let some people go, but they didn't expect that the Qing army opposite would have more people than them, and they broke through their defense in an instant and escaped not far from Yang Jingfa!
Yang Jingfa was a little surprised to see the opponent breaking through his defense so quickly, but this showed that the distance between him and the Qing army was already very close! So Yang Jingfa immediately ordered the brigade of soldiers to stop advancing and start setting up the formation. He also asked the soldiers to feed the war horses one last time and drink some water.
Don’t underestimate these tiny movements. You should know that the physical strength of the war horse is limited. With enough food and drinking water, and moderate rest, the combat physical strength will be more sufficient. The Qing army has already consumed some horsepower from afar. As one goes up and down, the chances of winning will be a little more.
After the Qing army's rangers observed the Shandong cavalry, they did not push forward in full swing, but maintained a low-intensity battle and drove forward the Ming army's rangers. The Shandong cavalry's rangers slowly retreated and led the Qing army to their own side.
As the main forces of both sides gradually approached, the fighting between the rangers gradually slowed down. By the time the main forces of both sides entered the visual distance, the rangers of both sides had returned to the team separately. Because they were no longer used at this time.
When the Qing cavalry discovered the other side, Babutai ordered the army to stop advancing. Without his orders, the Qing cavalry jumped off their horses and took out all kinds of food to feed them to the war horses.
Some feed the beans, while others feed the bread they eat directly to the war horses. This is not because the cavalry loses their fortune, but because the war horses don’t have enough food to run. It’s natural that they are not careless if they grab their lives!
Babutai naturally knew these methods. Even as the main general, he still needed to jump a horse to give the horse a rest time. However, the personal soldiers would do the work of feeding the horse and drinking water.
