Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth Dunhuang War(2/2)
The Mongolian general immediately ordered the retreat.
The number of this Mongolian cavalry was only about 3,000. After they captured a second-level town, they plundered their wealth, and they retreated in a hurry before they could take away the population.
The Liangzhou cavalry is brave and not inferior to ordinary Mongolian cavalry. If these Mongolian cavalry underestimated the enemy, they may also be wiped out in Dunhuang County.
Three thousand Mongolian cavalry withdrew from the town, and gold, silver and food plundered from the second-level town were hung among the saddles.
The Mongolian nobles fought fiercely, and therefore they could plunder the spoils, so they would continue to conquer new lands.
If there is no reward for fighting, no one is willing to fight to the death unless it is for faith.
When Wang Yanzhang and Cheng Yi's cavalry arrived, the second-level town was in a mess, and there were still a lot of money and property scattered on the way the Mongolian cavalry withdrew.
"They haven't been away for long, and they are in a hurry and can chase them."
Wang Yanzhang made a rough judgment and then went forward and chased Cheng Yi as soon as possible.
"General, the Xiliang cavalry are catching up! It's less than ten miles away from our army!"
"They have the courage, so let them chase after them."
The Mongolian general was not panicked when he learned that a Xiliang cavalry was chasing him.
Three thousand Mongolian cavalry fled, and Wang Yanzhang and Cheng Yi chased each other reluctantly.
Wang Yanzhang's war horses are of extremely high quality, and they are the divine horses that Xu Fengnian gave him. You can already see the sand and dust raised by the Mongolian cavalry.
It was June, and the Gobi Desert was hot and the high temperature made the air distort. Thousands of war horses galloped past, and the gravel trembled.
The Mongolian cavalry looked back and saw a fierce general chasing him alone. Behind the fierce general, there were a large group of Xiliang cavalry.
If the Mongolian cavalry turned back to face Wang Yanzhang, they might be caught up by the fierce Xiliang cavalry and then completely wiped out.
Ten thousand Xiliang cavalry, led by a powerful general, may annihilate three thousand Mongolian cavalry, and the probability is not low.
The Mongolian general said to a commander: "You lead a team of cavalry and kill him."
Among the three thousand Mongolian cavalry, about one-tenth of the troops, namely three hundred Mongolian cavalry, led by a Mongolian commander, deliberately slowed down and shot arrows at Wang Yanzhang.
Dozens of arrows were shot at Wang Yanzhang, and Wang Yanzhang used an iron spear to easily knock these arrows away.
Among them, one or two arrows shot Wang Yanzhang's iron armor, but it was bounced away by the heavy iron armor, without any injury.
Wang Yanzhang's weapons and armor are of all of the quality.
When these Mongolian cavalry were planning to shoot Wang Yanzhang, Wang Yanzhang tightened the horse's belly, used the spurs to urge the horse to accelerate, and rushed into the Mongolian cavalry that was broken, and swung the heavy iron spear with a hundred kilograms!
The two Mongolian cavalry were severely damaged and were even dismissed because they could not withstand the huge force!
Kill two Mongolian cavalry with one shot!
The Mongolian commander and several centurions subconsciously swallowed their saliva. This powerful general was probably the number one powerful general under the command of Xu Fengnian, the prince of the Han Empire who guarded Yumen Pass, who was the one who guarded Yumen Pass, Wang Tieqin!
Even the Mongol Empire was called Wang Yanzhang because Wang Tiejian's weapons were impressive.
Two hundred pound iron spears, in Wang Tieqi's hands, lifting weight easily.
"It's not necessarily possible that we can kill three hundred people..."
Before a centurion could speak his word, he had already swung the hundred-jin iron spear and smashed him to death with one shot!
The centurion fell off his horse and no longer had a breath.
Wang Yanzhang caught three hundred Mongolian cavalry alone and slammed the left and right, killing dozens of cavalry in succession. The Mongolian commander and his cavalry were frightened.
I'm afraid that few generals from the Mongol Empire could resist Wang Yanzhang's force.
Only by mobilizing enough troops can we encircle and suppress Wang Yanzhang.
Three hundred Mongolian cavalry dared not stop and fight with Wang Yanzhang because there were 10,000 Xiliang light cavalry led by Cheng Yi behind Wang Yanzhang. The combat effectiveness of these third-level light cavalry was not much worse.
The Mongolian generals who captured the town turned around from time to time and saw Wang Tieqian defeating the three hundred troubled Mongolian cavalry, and they couldn't help but be afraid.
It turns out that there are such powerful generals in Xiliang.
The Mongol Empire did not lack some commanders, but lacked powerful generals of Wang Yanzhang.
"If you can capture him..."
The Mongolian leader made a little plan, but immediately denied this idea, because according to the spies' information, Wang Yanzhang was a loyal man. Even if he died in battle, he would not betray his lord and could not surrender.
