The number of casualties caused by shelling and musketry salvos was actually not too terrifying.
What was horrifying was that the sound of cannons and intensive gunfire shocked all the Karaqin Tatars and Jiannu.
"There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"
"Oh my god! The Ming army has cannons, run away!"
The plan was to have two rounds of heavy infantry attacks. It's a pity that the killing effect of the second round was too poor, because many enemy troops used the precious time of reloading to escape from the range.
In the final analysis, mobility is the most important, and the only best way to deal with cavalry is to have a more capable cavalry.
As a result, Huang Yi appeared again, followed by more than 4,000 cavalry who firmly believed that victory was in sight, including more than 2,000 armored knights.
"Kill Jiannu to take revenge!"
"Don't leave Subudi, brothers, hurry up!"
"Listen up, Haraqin tribes, surrender and avoid death!"
The enemy army was cowed and had no morale. The Tatars' fighting ability was not as good as that of Jiannu, their riding skills were much better than that of Jiannu, and they escaped very quickly.
Jaisalmu was not willing to be defeated again, and he could see clearly that the battle losses of his own troops must not have reached 20%, and he still had an absolutely superior force and could completely turn defeat into victory.
He stopped the escaping Karaqin cavalry and shouted: "Asshole, don't run away, don't run away, otherwise you will be shot to death!"
Who knew that the Karaqin Tartar was such a tough guy that he actually yelled back: "Fuck you!"
Jaisalmu was so angry that he swung his sword and chopped it: "Pfft!"
"Hey young!"
"The Jurchens are really killing our brothers!"
"Gou Jiannu, I will fight with you!"
"You are no longer a human being inside and outside, I quit!"
"Yes! Quit, run, run north!"
"Don't run away, get into formation, quickly get into formation!"
Even if Zhaisarmu killed two fleeing Tatars, he could not deter the Karaqin troops who had a broken mentality.
The army was defeated like a mountain, and there was no way to recover at this time. Jaisalmu had to issue a new order and the entire army retreated to the camp.
In fact, no one gave the order, most of the Tatars went to the camp.
There were only a few hundred horsemen who were unwilling to fight, so they probably ran in the direction of the tribe.
Huang Yi led his troops to cover up the enemy's attack and pursued them until they were 200 steps away from the enemy's camp before withdrawing his troops and returning to the camp.
This battle was a complete victory. Seventeen levels of Jiannu were killed, more than 1,500 Karaqin Tatars were killed, and nearly 700 were captured.
Our side should have suffered between three and four hundred casualties, and over thirty were killed.
Small casualties and big gains are still a sure thing.
This is entirely because it is not easy for soldiers to fall off their horses.
He was already injured and then fell off the horse. Even if it was not fatal, he might fall to death or be trampled to death by the horse.
The prisoners were all Tatars, and most of them were wounded and fell from their horses. No one could say whether they would survive in the end.
Because gunshot wounds and artillery wounds are really difficult to treat in this era, even with alcohol disinfection and wound suturing technology, the recovery rate is not very high.
In this era, the medical team trained in the base area should be equipped with the most advanced medical methods in the world today.
The wounded who cannot be treated here are basically dead.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy!
The captives and liberated Han people and slaves in the original camp saw that the number of enemies was too numerous to count. When they came to challenge, the thousands of troops and horses were boundless.
But the Ming army stayed behind closed doors.
The side that dares not fight must be weak!
The captives in the camp and the rescued Han people and slaves were naturally in panic all day long.
When they saw the power of artillery with their own eyes and saw the Taijis fleeing, everyone's attitude was different.
All young and middle-aged men and women actively participated in cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded. Too many young and middle-aged men wanted to be considered to have a good attitude and be issued weapons and armor.
With people's hearts at their disposal, Huang Yi decided to provide the captives who longed for recognition with the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and issued an order to recruit 1,200 young and middle-aged men.
Huang Yi will definitely pull up the cannon and challenge tomorrow. It is estimated that it will be the enemy's turn to hide in the camp and lick their wounds.
The Tatars are actually even worse at offensive and defensive warfare, and this method of warfare is beneficial to the Han army.
The 1,200 mounted infantrymen will definitely be able to successfully attack and defend the camp.
In order to save the physical strength of the six hundred heavy infantry, Huang Yi planned to use horse-drawn carriages to send them eighty steps away from the enemy camp before dismounting and forming formation.
The task assigned to the 1,200 young and middle-aged men recruited was to work in a group of 24 to push a four-wheeled carriage temporarily used as a battering ram to knock down the enemy's wall.
Instead of using the back compartment of the carriage to hit it, a thick piece of wood was loaded on the carriage and twenty-four young men pushed it against the wall.
There is no need to specifically look for giant trees. If there are no giant trees, you can just nail three or five bowl-sized logs together.
With the thrust of twenty-four young adults and the gravity of the four-wheeled carriage, it should be easy to knock down those wooden barriers.
Zhaisalmu, Subbudi, Tulaguang, Serastu, etc. never thought of the need to take a defensive position. Their camps were completely useless and they didn't even dig trenches.
Huang Yi observed carefully with a telescope and felt that if someone pushed a four-wheeled carriage to rush over, a large section of the wall would probably be knocked down.
The Karaqin tribes were newly defeated, and their morale suffered a heavy blow. They were completely different from the troops in the base area who had just won a great victory and had high morale.
If the Tatars did not mount their horses because they were defending the stronghold, they would be completely sacrificing their strengths for the sake of their weaknesses. If they encountered Huang Yi's 600 heavy infantry, it would not be a war, and it would definitely turn into a one-sided massacre.
Besides, there are still six hundred, half of whom have been equipped with flintlock musketeers to provide long-range strikes.
The more than 4,000 cavalry cannot be spectators. They will definitely form a formation to attack the defeated Tatar cavalry and block the enemy's escape route.
The alliance between the Thirty-Six Kalaqin Families is loose, and they are most likely to have their own agendas when encountering powerful enemies.
Subudi was only the nominal co-leader. The more powerful his words were, the more effective he was. After suffering heavy losses in this battle, Ahun, Chatu, Shelatu and other Taiji became much tougher.
If it weren't for the master Jiannu who was watching with eager eyes, these Taijis might have become like birds and beasts.
More than a dozen Taiji, big and small, were already discussing quietly in private.
They all think that we Mongolians don't need to stick to one place. The enemy here is too strong and we can't stay there any longer. Let's move to another place!
Do you deserve to fight to the death with others?
In the eyes of Subudi, these Taiji troops were definitely not as important as the troops of Se Leng, Wan Dan Weizheng, and Gulus Qibu, so they were given the hard work of logging and building carts.
This time, it was a blessing in disguise. The losses of Taiji's men and horses such as Ahun, Chatu, and Shelatu were the least.
Although Jaisalmu, Subbudi and Bantenweizheng suffered heavy losses, they did not feel that they could not make a comeback.
Because there are still about 9,000 troops who have returned to the camp, the total number is still double the enemy's number.
