Under the night, groups of cavalrymen from the armored cavalry battalion came out of the fort.
Everyone held the reins of the war horse in their hands and walked under the dark night sky.
In order to make it easier for the Mongols to monitor the fort of the Tiger Banner, the yurt was located only a few miles away from the fort of the Tiger Banner. It was unobstructed and there was a bonfire nearby.
Although there was no moonlight above their heads, the light of the bonfire pointed the way to Ma Yunjiu and the others.
Walking was not fast in the dark night.
More than half an hour later, Ma Yunjiu and others were less than a mile away from the Mongolian yurt.
As the commander of the armored cavalry battalion and the supreme commander of this sneak attack, Ma Yunjiu did not rush to take action, but asked the team to stop and rest.
After walking for several miles, everyone will be more or less tired.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Ma Yunjiu ordered: "Everyone should now untie the linen cloth on the hoofs of the war horses, put on their armor and mount their horses."
As the order was conveyed, the surrounding armored cavalry began to remove the linen from the hooves of their horses and put it aside. Then they took off their armors from their horses and put them on themselves.
After doing all this, everyone got on horseback.
"Brothers, kill the enemy! Kill with me!"
The Mongolian yurt was not far ahead, and there was no need to hide his whereabouts. Ma Yunjiu shouted, took the lead in controlling the horse and rushed out.
Hundreds of war horses around them rushed towards the yurt in front.
Hundreds of war horses began to run, and the sound of hoofbeats broke the tranquility of the night.
The place where Ma Yunjiu led the armored cavalry to charge was not far from the Mongolian yurt. Before the Mongols resting in the ger could react, the armored cavalry had already rushed into the Mongolian camp.
Some Mongolians were awakened by the sound of horse hooves and ran out of their yurts in a panic.
What awaited them was the shining blade in the hands of the armored cavalry.
Mongolian yurts were set ablaze by armored cavalry, and the flames grew bigger and bigger, lighting up the nearby night.
Not long after, the Mongolian camp was filled with flames, like daylight.
There were no patrols in the Mongolian camp. When Ma Yunjiu showed up with his armored cavalry, he was not blocked. Instead, he stood guard outside the yurts and used his saber to kill the Mongolians who had just rushed out of the yurts.
Many Mongolians who died under the sword did not even have time to put on their clothes. Although some Mongolians had weapons, they were still no different from lambs to be slaughtered when facing the armored cavalry on horseback.
More and more Mongolians died tragically outside the yurts.
Some Mongolians who were hiding in the ger and unwilling to come out had to rush out of the ger because the ger caught fire and the smoke choked their noses.
Waiting for them was the blade of the cataphract.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and nearly half of the yurts in the Mongolian camp were set alight.
The Mongolians did not expect that the cavalry of the Tiger Banner would attack the camp. They were caught off guard. Coupled with the darkness, they did not know how many enemies came, causing chaos in the entire Mongolian camp.
Many Mongolians were running around like headless flies. Only a few Mongolians were still clear-headed and knew how to run towards the horse pen.
At this time, no one among the Mongols thought about counterattack. Everyone's biggest thought was to escape from here, as far away as possible.
"Taiji is in trouble. People from the Tiger Flag are attacking our camp." Several Mongolian armored cavalry rushed into the yurt where Zolakashen was.
Julakashen was wearing armor at the moment and already had the scimitar in his hand.
Compared with those burned yurts, the yurt where Zalakashen lived was in another direction and was not in the area where Ma Yunjiu mainly attacked.
Zhu Lakashen took down his riding bow from the wall and carried the quiver behind his back. Then he said to the Mongolian armored cavalry: "Let's go, follow me to kill the enemy."
"It's too late. There are too many cavalry who came to attack us. Most of the camp was occupied by them. Our people were all killed and scattered. We are unable to fight back." One of the armored cavalry said with a bitter look on his face.
Zulakashen shouted angrily: "Then gather all the people to prevent the counterattack. The cavalry with the Tiger Flag must be killed."
Once the camp is lost, he believes that Shitu will not let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury and annex his tribe. More importantly, there are more than half of his tribe's herds here. Once the camp is lost, those herds will also be lost. The people who surrendered it to the tiger-character flag.
"It's too late, Taiji. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." The armored knight on the side advised.
There are two Mongolian tribes in the camp. The direction where the Tiger Flag rushed into the camp is the area where the other tribe is located, and the tribe of Zulakashen is on the other side of the camp.
Zulakashen was not willing to listen and strode out of his yurt.
As soon as he came out, he saw at a glance that the yurt in the distance was ablaze, and even his side was very bright.
"Go to the horse pen."
He knew that only war horses at this time could compete with the cavalry of the Tiger Flag, so he turned around and ran towards the horse pen.
The few armored riders who came out of the yurt like him followed him and ran together in the direction of the horse pen.
The horse pen is not too far away from the yurt where Julakashen is located.
As he ran towards the horse pen, the flames of war started to burn bit by bit.
Some tiger-shaped banner cavalry began to form groups and fight towards the camp.
Although the yurt of the Jolakashen tribe was on the other side of the camp, it was affected by the war later and gave them more time to react.
But this is of no use to the overall situation.
At this time, the Mongols had become frightened. Facing the tiger-shaped banner cavalry charging and killing in the camp, they had no power to fight back and could only flee in all directions, unable to organize a counterattack at all.
"I found the Mongolian horse pen. A team of people will follow me to take down the horse pen." Liu Chao noticed more and more Mongolians running in one direction and guessed that there might be Mongolian horses in that direction. lock up.
Because along the way they charged, they did not find the horse stables where the Mongols kept their horses.
A nearby squadron of cataphracts gathered around him.
"Kill with me, we must not let the Mongols take away our war horses." Liu Chao shouted loudly, while controlling the war horses to chase the Mongols in the direction of escape.
Compared with the two-legged Mongols, the four-legged war horses ran faster.
Soon, Liu Chao caught up with the Mongolians closest to them.
"Kill!" Liu Chao shouted, swung his saber and cut the neck of a Mongolian with one blow.
The armored cavalry following him waved their sabers and slashed at the Mongols blocking the way.
Any Mongolian who stood in the way would not escape the fate of being overtaken and hacked to death.
"Protect Taiji."
A Mongolian armored cavalry noticed the cavalry chasing behind him and loudly called on his companions to protect Qula Kashen.
Liu Chao, who was chasing after him, could understand Mongolian, grinned, and shouted: "Brothers, we caught a big fish, and it was a fucking Taiji who caught it alive for me."
