Chapter 44 There are two conditions

Night finally fell on this grassland full of blood, smoke and the end of life. **《》* With the late autumn night wind, some unusual movements appeared in the Mongolian camp.

On such a night, the war horses were kept calm and closed their mouths obediently under the constant comfort of their masters. Not to mention the growth and neighing, in fact, they did not say a word. The soldiers held the long faces of their war horses in one hand and often comforted them. In this dark night, they quietly left the camp.

Everything was carried out according to the orders of Borjijin Alibuge. In order to attack, the soldiers even took off cavalry armor with good protection capabilities. They only wore inner heart armor, leather armor and silk clothes. This made them feel relaxed, and they put a bow and a few pots of arrows on the war horse, which also made them like it.

In fact, this was the most common outfit that the Mongolian army had when fighting in the past. At that time, under their cowhide armor, they were lined with chain mail or simply silk clothes. It was precisely because of this lightweight clothing that they could often engage in rapid mobile combat when facing heavy riders from Arabs and Europeans.

But now, the advantage of mobile combat is no longer on their side, because Zhao Xu's subordinates were "export-type war horses" from the "Huaxia Empire". Even the famous soldiers wearing cavalry armor still ran faster than Mongolian horses. Even in terms of hard work, the "export-type war horses" performed better than Mongolian horses. Not to mention that Zhao Xu led his subordinates to jump into the Mongolian grasslands, they had a dignified battle with 10,000 cavalrymen under Borjijin and Alibuge.

Moreover, when Zhao Xu received the "dow" given by Prince Kublai Khan, he actually chose all Han families, which made Borjijin and Alibuge full of hostility towards Zhao Xu's power.

In fact, there are some unknown things here, that is, the reason why Zhao Gui is mainly Han people is that Hassan and He Qi gave him advice from different aspects. Hassan's advice was that Han people were better managed than others, and there were many skillful people in the Han people. He Qi showed Zhao Xu from the loyalty of the army that under his leadership, the Han people had a higher status than the Mongols, so they would be more likely to be loyal to Zhao Xu.

In fact, Hassan and He Qi are slowly changing the loyalty of everyone. As for what they want to transform into, they naturally cannot see it now. But when guessing, they must also understand that after the establishment of the "Huaxia Empire" in the future, the Han people will be the top nation in the world's food chain.

Of course, these did not affect the battle tonight. At least the initial battle was the confrontation between cavalry and infantry. This was almost impossible in the past. Especially the Song army wearing infantry armor often lost the whereabouts of the Mongolian light cavalry. Of course, the combat method was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was because of the incompetent bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty.

At this moment, as for the Mongols, they were fighting for the first time a war against the real pearl-heat weapons. This was a bit like the war between Zhao Fubo and the Arabs. Almost all forces against Zhao Fubo were eliminated. Therefore, the information conveyed was fragmented and unrealistic. Then Zhao Xu's development in the Mongol Empire also reflected such characteristics.

In fact, this is also the era of history when the nations ruled by incompetent rulers were almost the same as the results when they were hurt. Egypt, India, China, and even Japan were all victims, but different reactions created their status in the world nearly 100 years later.

What history tells us is this rule.

Compared with the Mongolian barracks, Zhao Xu's barracks seemed much more modern. The bright lights were reflected to the distance on the reflectors with mirrors. The Mongolian soldiers holding muskets in the chariot array put the muskets on the clapper of a great country. And they used to put behind the two muskets, one loaded bullets and gunpowder, and the other installed the base fire required for the fire device.

In fact, it is nothing more than a thing with some iron sand and gunpowder mixed with gunpowder, wrapped in oil paper sheets. When fighting, bullets are loaded from the muzzle, and then the base fire is loaded in the pot of the flintlock machine. The impact of the flintlock machine burns the mixture of gunpowder and iron powder in the small gunpowder tablets, and ignites the ammunition below and then shoots.

Therefore, the shed above their heads is quite high, so that the strips can be easily used. Moreover, because the Mongolians are generally lower, their muskets are also shorter. Although this affects a little range, it allows them to load ammunition more quickly.

The Mongolian musketeers in the chariot formation, as Zhao Xu ordered, were half looking at the grassland in front of them, illuminated by the lights, and the other half fell into a sweet sleep just after eating.

Today's battle allowed them to see the power of thermal weapons for the first time. Although they were not as clear as the sentries on the sentry tower and the watchtower where Zhao Xu was located, the deep explosion was still transmitted from the flat grassland to them, allowing them to hear clearly.

At this time, the cool autumn breeze passed by the grassland, and the chirping of various autumn insects made the soldiers unable to hear the situation in the distance. However, they who are accustomed to living on the grassland knew that when the enemy began to attack, these insects would stop their "chorus". This has long been a habit since childhood, and it is precisely because of this that it is not easy to attack the Mongols.

Time slipped over at a small amount, and the soldiers who slept in the middle of the night replaced their comrades. At the same time, they took down their rifles and stood beside them. They then opened their sleepy eyes and stared at the grassland outside where the temperature became cooler.

At this time, the light of matches flashed in the carriages. Most soldiers were accustomed to the existence of tobacco while the products of the "Huaxia Empire" were invading. Especially as soldiers who pretended to be on duty, they would face the most time for humans to be most tired due to the biological clock at 4:00 a.m. and tobacco and pipes are the most important things in duty.

Fortunately, in this era, the term light control has not appeared yet. At the same time, Zhao Xu's camp with the small gas lamps on did not need to hide anything. Because the light of the matches cannot be brighter than the gas lamps.

The time continued, and it was not until the two advantageous conditions were met that the Mongolian cavalry hid in the grasslands charged towards Zhao Xu's camp.

What are the two advantages and conditions? Let’s talk about them next chapter!
