Chapter 139: Lin Danhan's Plan, a Disastrous Attack and Retreat
The next day, after a night's rest, Wang Dahu led 5,000 cavalry.
A man riding two horses began to gallop across the grassland outside the Great Wall, heading towards Jiayuguan at the western end of the Great Wall, preparing to make a detour and attack the Turpan army's rear.
As for where the five thousand cavalry came from?
They did not capture many Mongolian cavalrymen, but they did seize a lot of war horses.
After all, if the warhorse's owner dies, the warhorse will not keep running away for its life.
Therefore, Wang Dahu and his men actually seized nearly ten thousand war horses.
With horses, it would be easy to form a cavalry considering the physical fitness of the Salvation Army.
This time, the journey outside the grassland can be regarded as new cavalry training.
But it is also undeniable that Lindan Khan was still very capable.
However, the dynasty is now on the verge of a breakthrough, but it is not known who will break through first.
Why did he have to notify?
It directly covers a range of 100 meters between 400 meters and 500 meters.
Naturally, he was able to control his anger at this time.
The generals looked at each other, and then lowered their heads.
At this moment, when he looked at Lin Danhan again, he was less respectful than before, and his tone was much more casual.
They had launched several attacks in more than three days, but were repelled every time. Not to mention breaking through Jiayu Pass, they couldn't even climb up the city wall.
Even if Abdullah gave the order, they would only command the soldiers to attack the city from the rear, but they would not charge themselves.
Ordinary bows and arrows do not have such a long range, so we make them thicker and bigger and make them all into iron-framed bows.
Therefore, Wang Dahu dared to take two thousand veterans and three thousand newly formed cavalry to directly attack the Turpan army.
The image of the Salvation Army's crazy hacking and killing, splitting people in half with armor, had been deeply imprinted in his mind, so that he could no longer muster the slightest desire to resist.
Moreover, as Jiayuguan is the most important pass in the west of the Great Wall, its high walls and strong fortifications made it difficult for them to climb.
Ever since the Salvation Army was established and had the ability to manufacture bows and arrows, the dynasty has been ordering the Weapon Manufacturing Department to work overtime to manufacture bows and arrows.
Thanks to this, plus the practice of others, Wang Chao's main star formation ability that is integrated with spiritual power has reached the peak of level three, and there is a possibility of breaking through to level four at any time.
In just a moment, a large number of soldiers died tragically.
Thanks to the book friend [Youyue Daofeng] for the reward of 500!
"Humph!"
However, as the King of Turpan, he led his troops to the expedition this time.
Especially for an important city like Jiayuguan, the amount of arrows accumulated over several months is enormous.
The magical power of movement will not only increase their speed, but also enhance their eyesight and nerve reaction.
But deep down, they couldn't help but secretly complain.
Therefore, among the current salvation army, there is not much else, but there are a lot of bows and arrows, absolutely so many that it makes people doubt their lives.
Although his wife also helped a lot in this.
They had not even reached the city wall, but they had already lost more than half of their men. This made everyone from top to bottom, from generals to soldiers, doubt their lives and they completely lost the desire to attack the city.
Looking at the performance of the generals below, Turpan King Abdulain became even more angry and said angrily:
"Who below is willing to lead the troops to attack the city again?"
In the central army camp, the atmosphere was depressing to the extreme. Turpan King Abdullain had a gloomy face and spoke in a cold voice as he looked at the generals below.
Naturally, the manufacture of the Salvation Army's bows and arrows was much simpler.
We are all useless, so why don't you lead the troops to attack the city?
At the very beginning, some people would take the initiative to invite you to fight.
But without exception, they all died at Jiayu Pass.
"Now that we have been defeated by the Salvation Army, we must return to our headquarters as soon as possible."
The arrows of the rescue army were too sharp. When they were 400 meters away from Jiayuguan, the defenders on the city wall started shooting, and the farthest range even reached nearly 500 meters.
Until the very end, when the enemy army is close to collapse, the Salvation Army will launch close combat, let alone defending the city.
The endless rain of arrows can definitely suppress the enemy troops under the city and make them question their lives.
If you suffer heavy losses without gaining anything, and go back in disgrace, you will lose face and attract a lot of criticism.
He no longer dared to attack the Salvation Army again.
When they really get behind the enemy, they will be confident that they can win the battle even if they dismount and fight.
Even if they rushed to the city wall, there would not be enough soldiers to climb up the city wall, and they would soon be shot and killed by the Salvation Army.
However, Wang Dahu and his men were chasing them so closely at that time that many Mongolian cavalrymen had already fled. Many of them even ran towards their own tribes and had no intention of joining Ligdan Khan's camp again.
Of course, no matter whether the supernatural power breaks through first or the realm breaks through first, it will greatly enhance the power of the dynasty.
Therefore, even if he was angry, he would have to wait until he returned to the Tumed royal court and reorganized a new army before settling accounts with them for disrespecting the Khan's majesty.
The generals looked at each other and could see the understanding in each other's eyes.
Now, none of the remaining generals dare to lead the troops to attack the city.
The combination of these two things can make them the best archers even without the blessing of archery skills.
However, he did not attack immediately, but gave orders to everyone.
When they were less than a hundred meters away from the city wall, many arrows could even pass through their bodies and kill the people behind them again.
His tone had softened a lot without him noticing.
By then, the power of the magical power explosion will exceed the third level of magical power and will once again exceed the level of the dynasty itself.
After all, the Turpan army only had 20,000 soldiers.
The rest of the troops were all coalition forces from other tribes.
All in all, the number of casualties in the battle was at most 20,000. Even if the number of prisoners captured by Wang Dahu and his men was included, it was only about 23,000 or 24,000.
But things have already happened. Even though Lin Danhan is angry, he can only vent his anger and then start thinking about what to do next.
Now he could only return to Tatar Tumed and reorganize an army to intimidate the Mongolian tribes that were dependent on Tatar Tumed so that they would not dare to rebel.
While Wang Dahu and his men were traveling day and night to Jiayuguan, Ligdan Khan, who had already penetrated deep into the grassland, had stopped fleeing and gathered some of his defeated soldiers.
Ordinary leather armor cannot block an arrow from the rescue army.
When the Salvation Army was in battle, they would usually start by attacking with bows and arrows.
The Turpan King Abdullain had also begun to consider retiring.
After counting the number of people, Lin Danhan almost fell down.
Therefore, the Salvation Army rarely engages in direct hand-to-hand combat; that is a choice they will only make when they have no other choice.
Turpan King Abdulain snorted coldly, slowly sat down, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he spoke:
"What should we do now? What can you teach me?"
This Lin Dan Khan led them to suffer heavy casualties, and they were already considering whether to continue to be loyal to him.
And as the distance gets closer, the power of the arrows continues to increase.
Joining the Ming Dynasty, joining the Later Jin, or joining the People's Salvation Army is what they need to consider.
In the past, Wang Dahu led hundreds of soldiers to rescue the people and dared to charge back and forth in the army of tens of thousands led by Yang Jiamo, let alone the current situation.
What's more, for them, horses are just a tool for traveling and chasing enemies.
However, they had suffered heavy casualties, with a total loss of nearly 10,000 people.
However, it will be restricted by the limits of the body and can only exert the power of true Qi within the limit of the body's tolerance.
On the other side, Wang Dahu and others traveled day and night, and finally arrived outside Jiayuguan three days later.
Wang Chao was looking forward to this.
That’s right, after several months of continuous practice, Wang Dahu’s ability to set up formations finally reached the third level.
They suffered heavy losses in Tumed, so Turpan will not be better off either.
But now is not the time for an attack.
The enemy army only had 20,000 soldiers, while the people's rescue army he led had reached 5,000 soldiers.
At this moment, the Turpan army outside Jiayuguan had actually reached its limit.
On the grassland, it is a naked law of the jungle.
With such conditions, the dynasty would naturally produce bows and arrows in large quantities.
The generals below had dark faces and lowered their heads silently without saying a word.
Even every soldier can mobilize this powerful force.
After hearing the inquiry, Lin Danhan's eyes flashed. Should he notify the Turpan King Abdullain?
Therefore, the number of defeated soldiers that Lindan Khan finally gathered was less than three thousand.
This is also the effect after the formation ability reaches the third level, which includes five thousand subordinate soldiers and combines everyone's strength into one.
Of the 50,000 troops that attacked Shandan Weicheng, only less than 3,000 were left, which was even fewer than the number of prisoners captured by Wang Dahu and his men.
Even with continuous shooting, it would be enough to guarantee three days of supply.
In short, you only need to consider the range, and you don’t have to worry about whether you can pull the bowstring.
The power of Hercules allows the people's rescue army to pull three-stone and four-stone longbows.
While he was thinking, a tribal leader asked.
He wouldn't have an attack at this time, when he was at his weakest.
Who knows what those tribal leaders are thinking? If they all turn their troops around and attack him, he will definitely be in an extremely dangerous situation.
Moreover, the arrows of the Salvation Army seemed to be endless. From the first day of the attack to now, as long as they launched an attack, the Salvation Army would continue to shoot arrows, and their attack would not decrease at all until the end of the battle.
At the same time, he also noticed the change in the tribal leader's tone.
It is obvious that at this point in the war there is no need to continue.
Among them, the number of soldiers and horses that actually belonged to the Tumed tribe was only about one thousand.
"Yes!"
"A bunch of rubbish! You can't even capture Jiayuguan, which was occupied by a bunch of rebels from the Ming Dynasty."
When everyone went down to prepare to set off, a cold light flashed in Lindan Khan's eyes. When he returned to the royal court of Tumed and reorganized the army, he would definitely eliminate those tribal leaders who were slack towards him one by one.
Although he was a bit of a bully, he was not really stupid, otherwise he would not have become the Khan of the Tumed tribe.
So until now, they haven't even climbed the city wall.
"Need not!"
If their Tumed declined, but Turpan did not suffer much loss or even became stronger, it would be a threat to their Tumed tribe.
What's more, it is impossible for the Turpan army to attack continuously.
Therefore, Lin Danhan simply shook his head.
Moreover, the bows and arrows used by the Salvation Army do not need to increase the range while also considering whether they can be pulled apart, as ordinary people do.
After catching up with the enemy, even if it is infantry against cavalry, they are not at all inferior, and can even easily counterattack and kill them.
"Great Khan, should we inform the Turpan King Abdulain about our situation here?"
Well, since it is impossible to mass-produce firearms of later generations nowadays, the dynasty will naturally maximize the advantages of the People's Salvation Army.
There should be at least 20,000 people left under Lin Danhan's command.
Therefore, the Turpan King Abdullain now needs someone to give him a way out.
