If it were normal times, I would see the Ming army throwing things over. As a Mongolian who grew up on horseback, he would naturally find a way to avoid it.
But now everyone's eyes are blinded by hatred, and they can't wait to rush forward and tear this Ming army to pieces.
In addition, the power of black powder is now average, and the weapons thrown by the Ming army are too small. The entire army does not take the weapons thrown by the opponent at all.
"Boom. Boom, boom."
Continuous explosions sounded at the vanguard of the Mongolian army.
The huge explosion instantly swallowed up the Mongolian soldiers at the front.
The scattered steel fragments wantonly harvest the lives of the ignorant.
After the explosion, almost all the 3,000 elite troops at the front of the Mongolian army were wiped out.
You know, what is lying on the ground now is the most elite person in the Mongolian army.
He fell to the ground inexplicably like this, which was definitely a fatal blow to the Mongolian army.
"It's over, it's over, it's completely over." Looking at the soldiers lying on the ground moaning, Lin Lue and Gugu couldn't help but sigh.
"Give me the order and the whole army will retreat immediately." Although he lost 3,000 elites, he was not frightened.
Knowing that there was no hope of conquering Yulin, Guguge could only pray in his heart that the Ming army had not repaired the gap in the Great Wall so that everyone could escape back to the grassland smoothly.
The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty came from the north, and the consequences of leaving the army behind to guard the retreat can be imagined.
Although I was dissatisfied that none of the remaining troops came back to report their confidence, the most important thing now was to escape back to the grassland first.
Now that the army is running out of food and fodder, although they can use horses to satisfy their hunger, wouldn't the Mongolians who lost their horses become meat on the Ming army's chopping board?
....
"Look, look. The Tatars have withdrawn." A sharp-eyed Ming soldier in Yulin City shouted excitedly when he saw the Tatar camp outside the city with flames everywhere.
Upon seeing this, the nearby Ming army hurriedly stood up and looked towards the Tatar camp, only to see the sky-high fire raging in the Tatar camp. The billowing smoke has already reached the sky.
Even though we are miles away, we can still feel the hot wolf coming towards us.
"You guys should keep an eye out here and be on guard against Tatar sneak attacks. I'm going to report this situation to the Commander-in-Chief," Sun Ke, a hundred-household man on the city wall, shouted hurriedly.
Burning the camp, the Tatars must have withdrawn. If such good news is reported, maybe the commander-in-chief will reward himself with something if he is happy.
The imperial court inspected the military fields, paid out the full amount of pay, and paid back a little of the previous pay arrears every month. Although the Ming Dynasty's frontier troops did not say how good their lives were, at least they had no worries about food and clothing.
Needless to say, hundreds of households. Life is much better than before.
He trusts the Yulin General Soldier, manages the troops with strict discipline, and distinguishes rewards and punishments. He has a high prestige in the military camp.
Although the reward for meritorious service is not high, it will definitely be received by the Commander-in-Chief. If the Commander-in-Chief is in a good mood and rewards himself with a few maids, his life-long affairs will be solved.
No matter what happens, just give him a small gadget and you will have bragging rights in the future.
The honest and upright soldiers did not realize that Baihu was so "treacherous." Instead, they kept urging Sun Ke to quickly tell the commander-in-chief the good news about the Tatar withdrawal. So that the commander-in-chief can be happy.
In the days since the Tatars attacked the city, the hard work of the commander-in-chief is well known.
Supervise operations on site during the day, patrol and guard at night. Inspect wounded soldiers and supervise logistics.
It can be said that after a day of fighting, everyone can eat a hot meal, drink a sip of hot water, and get back into bed to sleep peacefully for a night, all thanks to the commander-in-chief.
With such a commander-in-chief who leads the troops like a son, everyone naturally hopes that the commander-in-chief can be happy as soon as possible.
"The Tatars outside the city have escaped."
"The Tatars outside the city have escaped."
...
Sun Ke shouted while riding on his horse and drove towards the General Military Mansion.
Under normal circumstances, horses are not allowed in the Ming Dynasty city unless there is an urgent military intelligence report or the imperial court urgently requests it. So as not to harm ordinary people.
However, after the Tatars approached, in order to avoid the opportunity to sneak into Yulin City in advance, Yulin City adopted martial law measures to prohibit people from going out at will.
In order to speed up the transmission of messages, horses were placed at the four city gates to facilitate the transmission of messages.
It was precisely because of this that Sun Ke was able to ride on horseback to report the news.
Sun Ke quickly arrived at the General Military Mansion. No. 66, who had just gone to bed, heard the news and hurriedly recruited Sun Ke in without even sorting out his clothes.
Although No. 66 is a biochemical soldier with far more energy than ordinary people, there are too many things going on during the many days the Tatars besieged the city. Didn't get a good rest at all.
There is no need to hide the strength of Yulin now, and after Sun Chuanting made such a fuss, the Tatars outside the city would not choose to attack Yulin City unless their heads were collectively kicked by a donkey.
Even if they launch an attack, it is impossible to capture Yulin based on the opponent's strength.
After relaxing, No. 66 couldn't suppress his sleepiness, so he could only go back and rest in a hurry.
"Sir, the Tatars outside the city burned down the camp and ran away."
As soon as he entered the living room and saw the Commander-in-Chief, Sun Ke hurriedly knelt down and reported.
Under normal circumstances, when reporting news, one should be in the lobby, but there are too many military secrets in the lobby now, so Sun Ke can only report in the living room.
"Get up."
No. 66 helped Sun Ke up with both hands and said.
"Serve tea and give me a seat"
Following a few orders from No. 66, two smart maids came directly with tea and cakes.
"Gu, Gu" Sun Ke couldn't help but swallowed twice as he stared at the two maids.
After serving in the army for three years, the sow was stuffed with Diao Chan. What's more, the two maids serving tea were pretty good-looking themselves.
It is reasonable for Sun Ke to lose his temper temporarily.
"Sir, the Tatars just burned down the camp outside the city and ran north..."
After Sun Ke came back to his senses, he realized that he had lost his composure, quickly turned his eyes, and reported to the Commander-in-Chief what he had just seen.
"Ha, ha, ha, you did a good job and deserve a reward. According to military regulations, I will reward you with a piece of cloth and 1 tael of silver. You can go to the warehouse to collect it later."
Such a reward is definitely not high.
But such a reward was indeed decided by Zhu Youjian himself.
In Zhu Youjian's view, since ancient times, the Han dynasty has had a big problem with rewards for the army. Many times, those who should not be rewarded were rewarded heavily, and the rewards were indeed just a brush off.
In the decisive battle on the battlefield, this one has the greatest credit, 1 general, 2 soldiers, and 3 logistics. But often good rewards are given to those who have no merit at all.
This situation is even more bizarre when it comes to the big time.
Reporting a piece of good news can often result in a reward of hundreds of taels, but the soldiers who work hard to kill the enemy on the front line receive less than one percent of what the messenger received in the end.
Isn't this nothing?
When a military general wins a battle, he first gives out most of the credit.
Military generals lose battles all because of their background. If they have a background, others will take the blame. If they don't have a background, they will take the blame.
Even Qi Shaobao of the Ming Dynasty had to rely on civilian officials to lead his troops, which shows the seriousness of the problem.
With unfair rewards and unfair punishments, coupled with arrears of pay, is it any wonder that the Ming army can have combat effectiveness?
