Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 654 The Iron Fist of Imperialism 4
More and more Mongolian nobles abandoned their troops and fled the battlefield in panic. The Ming army's infantry and cavalry came from all sides. The Mongolian army was horrified to find that the Ming army was everywhere, but their leader was running away without even looking for a shadow. No more.In such a desperate situation, even the most tenacious and tenacious people were discouraged. They threw away their weapons and dismounted, sat down on the ground and gasped for air. They shouted at the Ming cavalry who were charging towards them: "We lost, we are going to fight." I'll kill you or chop you into pieces as you please!"

They have already won a complete victory, and the Ming army is not interested in continuing to kill. While charging on horseback, they charged at the Mongolian army who was still weakly resisting: "If you don't want to die, get off your horse and surrender. I don't care about your rotten life! The Mongolian soldiers shouted in Mongolian: "All those nobles have run away, why are you desperate? Those who surrender will not die!" In the end, the Mongolian army surrounded by Yingzhou city put down their weapons, and their expressions were dull and dazed. Looking at the cavalrymen of the Ming army galloping back and forth, they couldn't understand why the Ming army, who could only retreat behind the side wall and let them occupy the Hetao Plain without doing anything, suddenly became so powerful, so powerful that they Tens of thousands of people can't help but the level of two thousand cavalry!
This is a double rolling of military concepts and military technology. They may know some military concepts, but military technology... I'm afraid they really don't have any concept, so they certainly don't understand why tens of thousands of them can't defeat more than 2000 Ming cavalry .

Qi Polu charged the most fiercely, more than a dozen Mongolian soldiers died under his knife, this guy was drenched in blood from head to toe, it was scary.Of course, he himself did not have such a self-awareness. Instead, he ran up to Lu Xiangsheng triumphantly and said loudly, "Master Hou, we won!"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "It was expected...how was the result?"

Qi Polu said: "Preliminary statistics show that the enemy suffered more than 1 casualties, more than 1 people surrendered, and no less than [-] horses were captured... Hou Ye, this record is really brilliant! Since Sapphire After the general, no one can beat the Tartars so badly!"

Looking at the vast expanse of prisoners of war, Li Dingguo exclaimed, "This is an unprecedented victory...it's really great!"

Lu Xiangsheng asked: "Did you catch Boyan and Manzhu to practice rituals?"

Qi Polu said: "No, these guys ran away when they saw that the situation was not good. They ran so fast that they disappeared in a blink of an eye. I will lead people to chase them, and I can't let them escape! After speaking, he turned his horse's head and greeted him loudly. Immediately, regardless of fatigue, more than 600 knights followed him towards the prairie on horses soaked in blood.Lu Xiangsheng watched his vigorous figure go away, and said with a smile: "What a little tiger!"

Another general panted and ran over, clasped his fists and saluted: "Subordinates see Lord Hou!"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him with a soft voice: "Your name is Zheng Jing, right?"

Zheng Jing straightened his waist a little: "Yes! I didn't expect the Marquis to remember the names of his subordinates!" He felt a little proud.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "You played very well, I am very satisfied. I think, with your ability, it is more than enough to be a general."

Zheng Jing was overjoyed, and knelt down on one knee, his voice was a little fluttering: "Thank you for your cultivation, sir, thank you for your cultivation!"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "You deserve it. Hurry up and organize people to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. Enough people have died today. Don't let more people die after the battle is over."

Zheng Jing tentatively asked: "The wounded Tartar soldiers..."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "The same thing needs to be saved. I don't want to scare them, but to convince them. Understand?"

Zheng Jing said loudly: "Understood!" He jumped up and ordered his men to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded soldiers.The Ming army suffered only a few hundred casualties and could easily be relocated, but the Mongolian army did not have such a good life. A stormy attack by the Ming army caused more than [-] casualties.

There are more than 4000 wounded soldiers!Although Yingzhou has stocked up on a lot of medicines, it is still a little bit powerless to treat so many wounded. They classify the wounded, and those with severed arms, legs, and broken stomachs will not need to be rescued at first glance. The only thing they can do is Let them inhale ether, then fall asleep, and enter the arms of death without knowing it, and then concentrate on treating those with healthy limbs.It is certainly not fair to do this, but it is humane. Those who are seriously injured will not be saved. It will only waste the time of manpower, medicine and other wounded people who are already in short supply. It is better to give up and let them die with less pain. .Those who were injured by shrapnel or slashed by knives focused on treating them with all their strength, including hemostasis, anesthesia, cleaning, and suturing in one go, with extremely high efficiency.However, it is very difficult to treat wounded soldiers who have been shot into the chest or abdomen by shrapnel. Military doctors can only use them as experimental objects to open up their abdomen to take the shrapnel, and then suture them. This operation is extremely difficult and the mortality rate is frighteningly high. There are always one or two successful cases. For the Mongolian wounded soldiers, it is already a profit. It is a matter of course to die, and to be rescued is the blessing of the Longevity God...the injury is so serious that the Longevity God may not be able to save them.

For the Mongolian army who put down their weapons, the war is over. Those who were injured honestly received treatment according to the Ming army's platoon, and those who were not injured dug pits to bury the dead under the supervision of the Ming army. Although the work was hard, it was good or bad Can eat a full meal.Those soldiers who didn't put down their weapons didn't have such a good life. They lost their minds and fled with the tribal leaders, while the Ming army cavalry followed them, and when they saw those who were alone, they immediately rushed to eat them.When they were resting, the cavalry of the Ming army would always appear nearby and shoot at them. Although they didn't hit a few, the sharp gunshots always frightened the Mongolian army to blow up the camp. Drive them into the ranks of rout again.Although the Mongolian army has suffered heavy losses and is already injured, there are still tens of thousands of people. If they can organize effective resistance, they can trample Qi Polu to death, but unfortunately, everyone They all became frightened birds, their minds went blank, they just wanted to escape, to escape back to the prairie, the farther away from the terrifying Ming army, the better!In extreme panic, of course, don't expect anyone to be able to take the initiative to stay behind, the cover army retreated, and everyone was running for their lives.Everyone wanted to escape, and the result was that tens of thousands of people were chased, beaten, and bitten by hundreds of Ming army cavalry, just like a herd of reindeer attacked by wolves, so desperate and helpless.The Mongolian army has seen this kind of scene a lot, but in most cases they are the ones chasing. Now it is their turn to taste the feeling of being tightly bitten by the enemy and cannot be shaken off no matter how hard they shake it off.

Unfortunately, the Ming army seems to be getting more and more.This is not an illusion, more and more people from the Ming army joined the pursuit.The defenders in Jingbian, Shanyin, Yanmenguan and other places have completely defeated or even wiped out the Mongolian cavalry responsible for harassing them, and released all the cavalry to join the pursuit.And the generals in Shanxi and Shaanxi's border areas also gave full play to the spirit of taking advantage of advantages and avoiding troubles, leading their own servants to join the Tianxiong army, chasing after them—those frightened bird-like Mongols Soldiers are piles of money that can walk and move. Now is the time to collect heads, and those who don't get it are idiots!Soon, Qi Polu had nearly 3000 people at his disposal, and the momentum became more and more frightening.The soldiers of the Mongolian army became more and more depressed. At the beginning, some people turned their heads and fought back feebly. .However, they were familiar with the terrain after all. After three days and three nights of fleeing and fighting, they finally managed to throw the Ming army away by a certain distance, and they could breathe a sigh of relief.

It's good to be able to breathe.

However, panting also depends on the place.After calming down their breathing, the Mongolian army was surprised to find that a big river blocked their way-needless to say, this is definitely not a good place to breathe.

This damn big river is exactly the Sanggan River.It is said that every year when the mulberries are ripe, the riverbed will dry up, hence the name, but the legends are generally unreliable: now the Sanggan River is fast, wide and deep, blocking the way of the Mongolian army.Compared with the turbulent river, the position of the Mongolian army is even more terrible. Tens of thousands of people are crowded in a tongue-shaped area formed by the bend of the river, which means that they are surrounded by the Sanggan River on three sides.But here, the soldiers of the Chahar and Tumed troops ran into the troops who were full of pearls and rituals, and they were so angry that they completely forgot that the Ming army was behind them. They grabbed those cowards and angrily asked them why they were so shameless. His own people fled, and the general who was full of beads and rituals was very aggrieved and urgently argued that the big men had escaped, why would they not escape to die?Some people are not interested in right and wrong at all. They try their best to collect wood, leather bags and other things, and when they find them, they jump into the river and swim to the other side with their arms.A piece of tattered wood gnawed by termites, or a piece of leather bag will lead to a fight, and the ferry is extremely chaotic.

Just as the commotion was raging, the ground shook slightly, and thunderous footsteps sounded, shaking everyone's heartstrings.Everyone looked back in amazement, and saw a wave of people rushing towards them from a distance. The battle flag and the battle robe were as red as a branding iron, and they were severely burned on the hearts of all the Mongolian soldiers, making them tremble all over.

The main force of the Tianxiong Army!

That's right, what appeared in front of them now was the Lei Shisheng Corps who had been looking for the main force of the Mongolian army on the grassland for a decisive battle.Their luck was really bad. Although they successfully captured the front and rear flags of the Chahar Right Wing and Ulan Chabu, but because the main force of the Mongolian army had been transferred away, the number of enemies wiped out was not large, which made Lei Shisheng He Zu Dabi was very annoyed.They have a total of 1000 infantry cavalry on this route, which is the most powerful and most powerful route among the three armies, but their record is the worst.Ezhe wiped out over ten thousand enemies in the Battle of Polu City, and almost wiped out the Mongolian army on the Urad Grassland. Qian Yu swept the Ordos Plateau and was driving the Ordos to the Yellow River. A big victory is a sure thing. And what about them?With such a strong force, it only wiped out more than [-] Mongolian soldiers defending the city in Ulanqab!If the battle ended with such a record, Lei Shisheng and Zu Dabi probably would have no face to go back to Datong, and they would be ashamed to death!Fortunately, God gave them a chance because of their hard work. Qi Polu chased and beat them fiercely, and drove the remnants of the Mongolian army towards them!Of course, Lei Shisheng would not let go of this last chance. He commanded the army to move to the deadly tongue-shaped area of ​​Sanggan River overnight. retreat.Now there are three roads before the Mongolian army, either surrender, fight to the death, or jump into the river, nothing else.

The hustle and bustle of the ferry fell silent for a moment, and the Mongolian soldiers looked desperately at the centurion and thousand commanders, but they saw the same pale faces.Now they really have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, what should they do?
The 85 infantry of the Tianxiong Army advanced forward in five rows like a wall, and the bayonet reflected a chilling light in the dim sunlight.Sixteen 120mm howitzers and sixteen [-]mm long-barreled mortars followed up under the protection of the cavalry. Thousands of troops and horses were silent, and the silence was more terrifying than the roar of the devil. people.After advancing to about one mile away from the Mongolian army, the army stopped and looked at the frightened Mongolian army with indifferent eyes, waiting for them to make a choice.

Is it war or surrender?
