Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 443: Avenge the previous shame

Zhang Enyi immediately stood on a gentle slope, stroking his beard and looking into the distance calmly.

On his left is the commander of the Yinzhou army, Ren Duoliji.

After being exchanged back to China, I was depressed for a while.

I am in good condition now and am ready to fight again to avenge my previous defeat.

He suffered a great loss at the hands of the Qingshui Army and felt ashamed. This Tartar invasion gave him an opportunity to make a contribution.

I can't defeat the Qing army, but I can seek compensation from the Tartars.

"General Zhang, let me lead the charge later. Let's see how our cavalry can crush the Tartar troops."

Rendorijit said with confidence.

Zhang Enyi shook his head: "Don't be careless. The Tartars are good at riding and shooting. We must be careful."

"Sir, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Lin Feng's Qingshui Army has entered the Tartar border. Obviously, they have little combat effectiveness."

Zhang Enyi's face darkened.

"The Qingshui Army's combat power is exceptional. How can we compare to them? We must not underestimate the enemy."

Seeing that Zhang Enyi was speaking seriously, Ren Duoliji shut up, but he was still very dissatisfied in his heart.

Looking at the powerful government army in front of him, he wanted to charge into the battle line himself. How could he give up the credit he had obtained so easily?

He rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, I should be leading the charge and boosting the morale of the soldiers. If we fail to completely annihilate the Tartars in this battle, how can I explain this to you, Sir?"

Zhang Enyi glanced at Ren Duoliji and pondered for a moment.

"Well, General Rendoriji has worked hard, and he should be credited with the greatest achievement in this battle."

When Ren Duoliji heard this, he was overjoyed. He had finally achieved this great achievement.

Thirty thousand elite soldiers against five thousand Tartars, there is no way they can lose no matter how hard they think about it.

"Thank you, Lord Deputy Commander. Now let's see how I kill the Tartars."

After saying this, he pulled up the reins, waved to the guards, and rushed straight to the cavalry camp of the government army.

Zhang Enyi stroked his beard with his hand, frowned and looked at the dust rising in the distance, knowing that the Tartars were coming.

Let out a breath and relieve the tension.

He also felt that he had 30,000 troops and could not lose this battle no matter what.

But it is strange that the Tatars would take the initiative to come out of the camp to fight when facing an army several times larger than theirs?

Isn't it a necessary strategy to hold the camp?

Before he could think about it, the Tartar cavalry came very quickly, with dust and smoke rolling in the sky, revealing a piece of black iron armor.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves hitting the ground exudes a dull and murderous atmosphere.

Zhang Enyi waved his hand: "Let the Archery Battalion prepare."

Suddenly, a series of drumbeats sounded behind him.

This was the method used by the Xixia Army to convey military orders on the battlefield.

When the five thousand archers heard the drumbeat, they immediately drew their bows and drew their arrows, slowly pulling the bows apart and pointing them diagonally upwards.

As the ground shook more and more violently, the Tatar cavalry rushed into the shooting range.

As the drumbeats changed, the archer released his right hand and shot the arrow into the air.

In an instant, a dark shadow rose into the air, whistling across the front lines of the two armies and fell into the ranks of the Tartar cavalry.

Amidst the crackling noises, dozens of galloping horses fell over in an instant, but this did not affect the speed of the Tartar cavalry.

This further aroused the bravery of the Tatars, and the Tatar cavalry ran faster and faster, and their shouts drowned out the roar of their horses.

Zhang Enyi waved his hand again, and the drumbeat changed again.

The spearman standing in front of the formation held a shield in his left hand and placed the end of the spear under his feet with his right hand, with the tip of the spear pointing upwards, nervously waiting for the Tartar cavalry to charge.

Eighty steps, fifty steps, thirty steps...

The rumbling sound of hooves struck the heart of every soldier.

On the galloping war horses, a cloud of feather arrows rose from the Tatar group, and the spearmen in front of the formation raised their shields to block them.

Before they could put down their shields, the Tatar cavalry rushed to them and charged into the Xixia army without hesitation.

The spearmen in front of the formation scattered, but did not slow down the speed of the Tatar cavalry.

Zhang Enyi frowned. These Tartars were indeed fierce.

"Beat the drums and stop the enemy cavalry."

He shouted in a deep voice.

The war drums sounded again, rapidly and intensively.

The infantry leader shouted loudly to his soldiers, trying his best to organize and stop the Tatar cavalry.

Unfortunately, the Yinzhou army has not seen war for many years, and most of the soldiers serve as soldiers in wartime and civilians in peacetime, so they are used to a comfortable life.

Even during normal training, they would just form a formation and poke straw targets with their guns.

There has been no bloodshed for many years.

Seeing the Tartar cavalry charging the soldiers in front into chaos, blood splattered everywhere and broken limbs flying everywhere.

My heart is more chaotic than a battlefield.

How can the human body withstand the ferocious impact of a huge warhorse?

The spearmen in the front retreated unconsciously, and the soldiers in the rear hesitated, holding their spears tightly in fear, but refusing to move forward bravely.

As the Tatar cavalry advanced deeper, more and more horses trampled down more and more infantrymen of the palace army.

The infantry of the Yinzhou Prefecture Army in the entire position could not withstand the psychological pressure and began to retreat slowly.

Even though the drumbeats became more frequent, they still couldn't stop the fear in the soldiers' hearts.

The Tatar cavalry rushing in the front were under little pressure and successfully charged into the enemy camp.

The cavalry following behind rushed in one after another.

This allowed the entire 5,000 Tatar cavalry to successfully deploy their attack formation.

The infantry fought against the cavalry, and although their numbers were twice as many, they were still unable to withstand the rampage of the Tatar cavalry.

Seeing this, Zhang Enyi immediately ordered the infantry to retreat to both wings and the cavalry battalion to attack.

Renduoliji was already impatient, and when he heard the change in the beat of the war drum, he immediately raised one arm.

"Follow me to kill the Tartars!"

After saying this, he swung his arm and charged his horse forward.

The officers following behind him shouted to their own teams and began to speed up their horses.

In terms of bravery, Renduoliji is indeed the number one general.

He often leads by example.

He is just too brave but lacks intelligence.

Faced with the situation on the battlefield, his judgment ability is greatly lacking.

When the Yinzhou cavalry collided with the Tatar war cavalry, the difference in their combat effectiveness immediately became apparent.

Lin Feng's Qingshui Army underwent intensive training all day long and was able to catch up with the Tatar cavalry.

Under this circumstance, Lin Feng always emphasized team combat and that individual soldier qualities should not be compared with those of the Tatar cavalry.

Not to mention the cavalry of the Yinzhou Prefecture Army, which has not seen war for many years.

The army looks well-organized and majestic.

However, once they engaged in actual combat with the enemy, they were immediately stretched to their limits and full of loopholes.

The 3,000 cavalrymen of the provincial army in the middle had already engaged the enemy, but the cavalry battalions responsible for the auxiliary attacks on both wings had not yet rushed up.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the cavalry of the government army had been defeated.

They spurred their horses and ran away, but were chased and beaten by the Tartar cavalry.

In addition to the 10,000 troops behind Zhang Enyi, 20,000 troops have been deployed on the entire battlefield.

However, they were thrown into chaos by the attack of 5,000 Tartar cavalry, and each of them tried to avoid the fierce Tartar cavalry.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Enyi had no choice but to wave his hand and let the 10,000 reinforcements charge.

Ten thousand infantrymen rushed down the slope like a tsunami and poured into the battlefield like a tide.

The Tatar cavalry, already blood-thirsty, showed no fear and urged their horses to charge bravely against the tide.

The two sides engaged in a stalemate battle in the wilderness.
