"Failed, defeated, defeated!"
"For the sake of Buddha, run away!"
"The Qing soldiers are too fierce and cannot be defeated."
"The Qing soldiers are powerful, and the Yuan Dynasty is finished again!"
After falling into a wave of pits and being shot repeatedly by artillery, bows, arrows, and shotguns, the Mongols on the battlefield on the north bank of the Qinghe River were completely in chaos! There were people everywhere who were shouting and trying to escape, but their way was blocked by other Mongolians crowding behind them.
In fact, this Mongolian swarm attack was chaotic at the beginning. If Genghis Khan saw their style of play, he would definitely not admit that Abu Nai was his descendant. It must be that fool who didn't even know who was being cheated on, and actually regarded a fool who didn't know how to use this kind of cavalry as a member of the Golden Family. His direct descendants.
Under normal circumstances, the cavalry's advance and retreat requires a considerable amount of space and cannot be so dense.
Even if it is a dense horizontal formation attack often used by Western knights, it is a dense formation of two rows and three rows, and a considerable space must be left between each row. If a dense square formation is to be formed, the square formation should not be too large, and a considerable distance should be maintained between each square formation.
This cavalry must not rush forward in a swarm of swarms, otherwise it will easily be disrupted by the enemy and thrown into a mess.
And now Abu Nai's swarm charge was to divide up to nine thousand Mongolian cavalry (there were another thousand by Abu Nai's side) into four dense clusters, and launched a "pig rush" style charge toward a "point" at the same time.
When the charge was launched, although the four cavalry groups were crowded and crowded, there was still some space between the groups. But when they rushed to the Qing army's vehicle formation, four groups of cavalry had merged into a crescent-shaped group, with as many as nine thousand cavalry crowded together.
After encountering pits, artillery, shotguns, and bows and arrows, the cavalry became a mess.
The cavalry who rushed in front were repeatedly killed by artillery, muskets, and bows and arrows. They were cut down piece by piece. Cutting off their heads was as easy as cutting wheat!
And those among them who have not been "cut" for the time being have discovered that something is wrong. Buddha in the West seems to be very busy today and has no time to bless everyone. If you want to survive, you should "turn around and find safety"!
But when they turned around, what they saw was not the "shore", but the Mongolian cavalry who had no idea how powerful the Qing army was and crowded behind them. Ever since, the front team and the back team collided.
This collision was serious. The already crowded formation of the Mongolian cavalry was now even more crowded. Horses bumped into horses, people fought against each other, and fell into complete chaos.
These Mongolian cavalry, said to be soldiers, are actually a group of herdsmen. They have not received any military training at all, are not well organized, and lack qualified officers to lead them. Once these people fall into chaos, it is not so easy to recover.
The nobles of the Chahar tribe who were responsible for commanding the temporary formations of hundreds and thousands of troops had no military qualities at all, so it was naturally impossible to reorganize the already chaotic troops.
Seeing this scene in front of us, everyone could only recite "Amitabha" and ask for the blessing of the Western Buddha.
At the other end of the battlefield, the paralyzed Zhang Yong and Zhang who were sitting on the sedan and being carried on the front line were condescending and saw clearly. He immediately laughed loudly: "Hahaha, the Tatars in Chahar are actually better than those in Shaanxi." , those outside Gansu and Shaanxi are still weak, who are they from the Central Chahar Ten Thousand Households?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong, a "knowledge-mongolian", still overestimated the Chahar Mongols. Although the Tatars in the northwest are very weak, they are "wild" no matter what, while the Tatars in Chahar are "domesticated". "of.
However, the Chahar Ten Thousand Households have been the "central ten thousand households" of Mongolia since the days of Dayan Khan. They are powerful and lead the grasslands. Even in the era of Lin Dan's running away, the Chahar Ten Thousand Households are still the most powerful among the Mongolian tribes in Monan and Mobei!
But now, they have become so weak that they are simply giving away their lives to the Tatars!
At this time, his son Zhang Yunyi also discovered that Chahar's Manchu "domesticated Tatars" were a big deal. Their performance could not even be regarded as a grassland army. They were just a bunch of muddle-headed people following Abu Nai and Burni. The Mongolian people rebelled against the prince.
However, with the golden signatures of Dayuan and Genghis Khan, the heads of these Mongolian people can also be regarded as the heads of ferocious and violent wild Tatars to claim credit.
Even if the head is cut off, who can tell whether the head belongs to a "house Tartar" or a "wild Tartar"?
Zhang Yunyi immediately became excited when he saw that the "Tatars" were easy to bully. He immediately got on the war horse with dozens of Gesheha, and ordered people to move away several anti-horse guns that blocked the passage in and out of the vehicle array.
Then he mobilized a thousand Gansu and Shaanxi infantry troops equipped with long spears, and asked them to put away their bows and arrows, pick up their long spears, and gather them into the two passages on both sides of the vehicle formation - this vehicle formation did not include all the troops. The grain trucks are all connected together, but the grain trucks are connected into sections, and the passage between one section of the vehicle array and the other section of the vehicle array is the passage in and out. When the Mongols launched an attack before, these passages were blocked with horse-repelling guns, but now the horse-repelling guns have been removed.
A thousand Gansu and Shaanxi infantry troops were divided into two teams and were about to attack the two wings of more than 8,000 Mongolian cavalry!
Zhang Yunyi, on the other hand, led his men Goshiha to gather in the passage in the center of the vehicle formation, seemingly preparing to give the enemy a break.
The other soldiers from the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion were not idle either. They all stretched out their arms and went to work, drawing bows and shooting arrows, loading and shooting, or operating the eight small red cannons as quickly as possible, shooting about three pounds (more than two kilograms). ) heavy projectiles were continuously loaded into the bronze cannon chamber, and then fired at the crowded Mongolians.
The Mongols were so crowded that it seemed as if every arrowhead, every lead bullet, and every cannonball would not miss.
But even so, Mongolia's losses were actually not particularly large. After all, Zhang Yong only had 3,000 men, and his firepower was quite limited. Ten or twenty rounds of shelling, shooting, and bow and arrow shooting could kill and wound anyone. A few hundred is too much, plus the number of people trampling on each other to death and being injured is a thousand.
However, Zhang Yong and Zhang Yunyi, who have fought with the Mongols in the northwest for seven or eight years, also know a tactic that the Mongols are most afraid of today - hand-to-hand combat!
Seeing that everyone under his command was ready, Zhang Yunyi no longer waited. He pulled out his sword with a clang, pointed forward, opened his throat and shouted: "Beat the drum! Follow Eucheng! Kill!"
After shouting, he took the lead and rushed out with dozens of horses.
The veterans from Gansu and Shaanxi who led the charge below were already eager to try. When they heard the drums and Zhang Yunyi's shouts, they all raised their spears and shouted "Kill! Kill!" and rushed out of the car formation like tigers. As if they were out of a cage, they pounced on the Mongolian cavalry, which was several times more numerous than them!
These Gansu and Shaanxi infantry did not rush in blindly, but divided into two groups, outflanking the left and right, as if they were trying to outflank the cavalry that was several times their number!
This is really audacious!
And those Mongolian cavalry who were eager to escape from the battlefield suddenly found that their backs were about to be pierced by the enemy's spears. They all whipped their horses with whips like crazy and rushed forward. No, They should have launched a cavalry charge towards their rear!
But there are times when four legs cannot outrun two legs!
Because there are four other legs in front of the four legs blocking the way. These Mongolians are too miserable. When they charged just now, they were bombarded, shot, and shot with arrows. Now they are stabbed in the back with a spear, and they are also shot by themselves. The escape route is blocked by people!
Some of the Tatars were inspired by the desperate situation and took out their bows and arrows to shoot at the Gansu and Shaanxi infantry who were charging with their spears!
However, the bows they used were not strong military bows, but soft bows. It was difficult to shoot a prairie wolf, and it could not break through the cloth-covered iron armor of the Gansu-Shaanxi infantry. Unless you shoot directly at the exposed cheek of the Gansu-Shaanxi infantry, it will be in vain!
No one in the Gansu-Shaanxi infantry army cared about the "soft arrows" of the Mongols. They just used their spears to stab the Mongolians who had no armor at all and only a tattered robe to cover their bodies.
However, Zhang Yunyi and his dozens of cavalrymen did not launch a cavalry attack. They flew to the back of the Mongolian cavalry group, picked up their bows and arrows, and kept hitting the backs of the Mongolians' heads and necks with arrowheads.
These people's mounted archery is accurate and ruthless, and they shoot arrows at close range. When they shoot, an arrow penetrates the neck or pierces the skull. It's so ruthless!
At the same time, the artillery and shotguns in the rear vehicle formation have ceased fire - they have been fighting for a long time, it is time to take a breath, the barrels and barrels also need to cool down, and the fire channel has also been blocked by our own people. It's blocked.
At this time, Zhang Yong, who took over the command of the battlefield, ordered his more than a thousand swordsmen to carry bows and arrows out of the car formation, formed several horizontal formations, and stuck behind the Mongolian cavalry group, constantly using bows and arrows to attack the chaos. The Mongol cavalry fired arrows. While causing damage to them, he also shouted loudly to create panic, forcing them to attack his rear team.
At this moment, every Mongolian on the battlefield has a buzzing head, and only one thought in his mind: After the Great Yuan Dynasty, all the Han people have learned bad things. How cruel have they become?
Finally, the inevitable collapse came.
When the rear group of the Mongolian cavalry figured out how ferocious the enemy was and how capable they were, they immediately lost the courage to fight on.
They suddenly discovered that the weakest person in the world was not the Qing Dynasty, let alone Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng, but their own Dayuan who was the weakest in the world!
Dayuan is finished again!
Abu Nai, who was immediately supervising the battle at the rear, was also confused.
His 10,000 cavalry were defeated by the paralyzed 3,000 infantrymen of Zhang Yong. And one of his troops was overwhelmed!
He was defeated directly in one round!
Moreover, the other party also tried to double-team their own cavalry!
Use three thousand infantry to outflank ten thousand cavalry. Genghis Khan couldn't fight this kind of battle! Unexpectedly, it was actually defeated in the hands of the descendants of the Great Khan, but the descendants of the Great Khan were defeated and outflanked by the enemy with a small number of infantry.
How could the descendants of the Great Khan be ruined like this?
Abu Nai, who finally realized his shame, pulled out his "Great Khan Scimitar" with a loud sound - it was not the scimitar used by Genghis Khan, but the scimitar passed down by Dayan Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. He pointed the scimitar back. , shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly. The descendants of the Great Khan cannot die in vain!"
After giving the order, he turned the horse's head without hesitation, took the lead, and ran first as a mark of respect.
The Mongols, who had no intention of fighting in the first place, saw that their "old khan" had fled, so how could they still have the determination to resist? Run away now!
Almost in an instant, all the Mongolians figured it out, turned around one after another, and fled northward like crazy, shouting loudly in miserable and miserable tones as they fled.
"Failed, defeated Dayuan and lost again!"
"What? Dayuan was defeated again?"
When Dayuan's "Shao Khan" Burni heard that his Dayuan army had been defeated again, he was leading more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry and had just arrived about fifteen miles north of Beiqing River. He had just arrived on the battlefield. !
Why did he fail to catch up with Dayuan when he just arrived?
And didn’t his Dayuan just open?
It’s just opened and there’s no new atmosphere at all, so it’s just over?
This is faster than Li Zicheng's last time as emperor!
Li Zicheng finally entered Beijing and became the emperor, and he was defeated after going through addiction. And he hasn’t even entered Beijing, and he hasn’t even officially been elected as the Great Khan. Even the Great Yuan can’t be considered restored. To restore the Great Yuan, he has to enter Beijing anyway, right? Even if we take a step back, we still have to push to the south of the Yuan Dadu earthen wall in the north of Beijing, right?
To the south of the earthen wall, that area could still be said to be Yuan Dadu, so he could be considered back to Yuan Dadu anyway.
But now, the most we can reach is the suburbs of Yuandadu!
When compiling history in the future, no historian will take the "Dayuan" who just moved to the suburbs of Dadu seriously, right?
Thinking of this, he loudly shouted to his left and right: "Stop advancing! Expand your formation! Set up the Gulieyan Formation!"
Gulieyan is just a big car formation, which is actually the same thing as Zhang Yong’s car formation by the Qinghe River. Faced with the retreat of the front army, Burney's first thought was not to rush forward, but to form a Gulie extension formation to defend him. This is really a good use of troops!
However, before his Mongolians could move away from Gulieyan's large car formation, Abu Nai, the old Mongolian Khan who had escaped from the battle, had already shamelessly approached him.
"Son, no, we can't beat the paralyzed man."
"What?" Burni was surprised, "Only a paralyzed man?"
"Isn't one paralyzed man enough?"
"Dad," Burni said loudly, "You, an old Khan, with 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, can't defeat 3,000 infantry troops commanded by a paralyzed man. You, you."
After all, he is a filial son, and a filial son cannot point his nose at his own father and scold him.
"Child, run away quickly," Abu Nai said with a sad face, "If you don't run away, the paralytic will catch up with you!"
"Paralytic Zhang" Burni didn't know what to say. The Mongolian cavalry was actually being chased by a paralytic. Who is the paralytic?
Just when Burni was still thinking about the battle, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed again. The plains on the east and west sides of Burni's brigade suddenly became filled with smoke and dust.
Immediately, two of Burni's "old Mongolians" got off their horses, lay on the ground, listened, and then reported loudly.
"Great Khan, it seems that an enemy cavalry is approaching, and there are many of them!"
"At least two teams are pressing up from our left and right wings."
It seems that the new army of coated slaves led by Zhao Liangdong has arrived on the battlefield.
These new coats of arms are not cavalry, but "ridable and on foot." There is no shortage of large four-legged animals in Beijing today, so when necessary, they can still march on horses or mules.
After Fuquan learned that Zhang Pengzi had won a great victory, defeating 3,000 to 10,000, and using infantry to pursue the Mongolian cavalry, he was immediately inspired and felt that he was like a god with his troops.
So he decisively adjusted his deployment and ordered Zhao Liangdong to divide his troops into two groups, advance quickly on horseback (mules), and immediately go to make Burni's big dumplings.
At the same time, he also ordered Li Sixing and Tur Meng'e to lead a thousand Shanpu battalion cavalry to attack the south entrance of Juyong Pass.
As long as the south entrance is blocked, Burni will be a turtle in a jar!
"Form up and prepare to fight!"
Burni still didn't give up. This time he bet too big and he couldn't afford to lose! If you lose, you will not only lose the little prestige of the Golden Family and the Chahar families on the grassland, but you will also lose all your capital and even your life!
Seeing that his son still wanted to fight, Abu Nai said with a sad face: "Son, we Dayuan people have come to the wrong place. These days, the Han people have suddenly become more aggressive. We have no chance to take over the Central Plains. We should just run away and wait until we return to the Liaohe Hetao. Beg the emperor for mercy."
"Begging for mercy?" Burni almost cried, "If you can't forgive me, you should fight. If you fight, you may have a way to survive!"
Just as the two father and son were arguing over whether to flee or stay, suddenly a group of lust-eyed cavalry in front of them appeared out of nowhere, protecting Yang Qilong. Yang Qilong was accompanied by several lamas. They followed the flag of Burni. They were stopped near Burni by the "Qixue Army" guarding the area. At this time, they heard Yang Qilong shouting in Mongolian: "Is King Chahar here? I am Yang Qilong, and I have come to make peace on the orders of King Yu. King Chahar, King Yu is willing to recruit you!"
