boom! boom! boom!
The sound of firecrackers sounded continuously, and every once in a while there would be the sound of squatting tiger cannons mixed in with it.
The foul smell of blood permeated the surrounding riverbank.
"Retreat, retreat, the Mongols retreat."
The Mongolian cavalry charging towards the river bank failed to drive a large battalion of Tiger Flag soldiers across the river into the river. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they could not bear the casualties and were defeated.
On the river bank where the Tiger Banner army was located, many people were paying attention to the situation on the other side of the river. Everyone looked nervous. Now that they saw the Mongolian armored cavalry retreating, their faces showed the joy of victory.
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"
Fanatic cheers came to mind among the army of tiger-shaped flags on the river bank.
"Send my order to the general and the army will begin to cross the river." Chen Xunping ordered.
The messengers ran to convey the order to cross the river to each camp.
Tens of thousands of troops crossed the river through pontoon bridges on the river bank, and at the same time, there were transport battalions building more pontoon bridges in the river.
Sun Chuang felt relieved as he looked at the Mongolian armored cavalry that fled in front of him.
He defended the land on the river bank and opened up a position for the army behind to cross the river.
The Mongolian armored cavalry in front fled, and the Tiger Banner army behind them began to cross the river. His vanguard battalion could be considered to have completed the task assigned by the front finger.
As the victors, everyone in the Tiger Banner army was high-spirited and enjoyed the victor's sense of superiority. The Mongolians on the losing side all looked very ugly.
"Taiji, the tiger-character flag army has crossed the river. If we don't leave, it will be too late." Senaban came to Su Nang and begged Su Nang to escape with the defeated troops.
Su Nang's face was ashen as he stared at the army of tiger flags crossing the river on the pontoon in the distance, his teeth clenching.
"Su Nang Taiji, retreat!" Temulun said to Su Nang.
Kankantada on the other side glanced at Su Nang, snorted coldly, turned his horse's head and rode away without saying hello.
When Temulun saw that Su Nang was motionless, he showed a trace of hesitation. Finally, he sighed, called his personal guards, and chose to leave from Tubao.
Once Kankantada and Temulun left, the only ones left in Tubao were Su Nang and his guards in the tent.
"Taiji, the cannons of the Tiger Flag have begun to cross the river. We have to leave." Senaban persuaded Su Nang to leave.
From here, you can see the artillery team of the Tiger Flag coming to the other side through the pontoon bridge.
The breakthrough where Su Nang is located is not too far from the river bank. Senaban is worried that if he doesn't leave, the Tiger Flag can set up artillery to bombard the soil bag.
"Take Taijima and let's go." Seeing that Su Nang didn't move, Senaban had to order other personal guards to escort Su Nang and leave.
On one side, a bodyguard came up and grabbed the reins in Su Nang's hand.
At this moment, Su Nang suddenly yelled, "Get out of here!"
The guard who reached out to grab the reins retracted his outstretched hand.
"Taiji, our defeat is only temporary. When we return to Bansheng City and gather all the armies, we can have another fight with the army of the Tiger Flag." Senaban persuaded.
Su Nang looked at the pontoon bridge on the river. More and more Tiger Flag soldiers were crossing the river through the pontoon bridge. At the same time, new pontoon bridges were being built. When these pontoon bridges were completed, the Tiger Flag soldiers were crossing the river. It will only get faster.
"Senaban, do you think we can really defeat the Tiger Flag?" Su Nang suddenly asked Senaban who was standing aside.
After hearing this, Senaban was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that his Taiji would ask him such a question. However, he still nodded vigorously and said: "My subordinates believe that we will definitely be able to defeat the army of the Tiger Flag. We Mongolia We are all cavalry, and the Tiger Banner army is all infantry. Although we seem to be losing the battle in front of us, it is because the reinforcements from all ministries have not arrived. When the people from all ministries arrive, we Mongolians will win in the end. "
"I hope so!" Su Nang tugged on the reins in his hand and said immediately, "Let's go back to Bansheng City."
After saying that, he spurred his horse and galloped away from Tubao.
Senaban and Su Nang's other personal guards followed Su Nang, galloping together towards the distance.
When Su Nang left, there were almost no groups of Mongolian armored cavalry near the river bank.
"The camp is in full swing, all the Mongols are gone." A soldier next to Sun Chuang said pointing to the patch of soil where Su Nang had stayed.
Sun Chuang covered his forehead, looking at the group of Mongolian cavalry that was gradually disappearing in the distance, and murmured to himself: "It's a pity that we don't have many cavalry, otherwise we would have gained more in this battle."
"Do you want to give chase?" the soldier on the side asked.
Sun Chuang glanced at the other party angrily and said: "What are you going to do with two legs chasing someone else's four legs? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and clean the battlefield to make room for the army that is about to cross the river."
The so-called cleaning of the battlefield only meant cleaning up the corpses of Mongolians and war horses in front.
Give some wounded Mongolians a touch up to prevent them from suffering any more. If there are intact war horses, they will be taken aside for registration.
Of course, the matter of registering the loot does not belong to Sun Chuang and his camp management. What they have to do is to clear a clean area on the river bank to clear the way for the subsequent army to cross the river.
Several more pontoon bridges were built, and the tiger-character banner army crossed the river significantly faster.
Cannons were hung on artillery carts and pulled across the river by horses. Four-wheeled carts also lined up to cross the river.
Soon, most of the Tiger Banner army crossed the river and reorganized on the other side of the river.
Liu Heng pulled the reins of his horse and said to Li Shuheng beside him: "Let's cross the river too!"
After saying that, he lightly tapped the war horse's belly with his heel and urged the war horse to walk towards the pontoon bridge on the river.
Li Shuheng walked with him.
Wang Yuncheng took the Third Battle Division, which served as a temporary personal division, and stayed at the end to cross the river.
When the last brigade of the Guards Division crossed the river, tens of thousands of Tiger Character Banner troops all arrived on the other side of the river.
At this time, Chen Xunping's messenger came to Liu Heng and said: "Sir, all the army has crossed the river. Commander Chen asked if the army can move out."
"Let's go!" Liu Heng said to the messenger.
The messenger ran to deliver the order.
In the battle across the river, only one battalion of the First War Division actually fought, plus an artillery team fired a few rounds of artillery. The other battalions were just waiting on the river bank, ready to cross the river at any time, so The army can't be said to be hard work, but everyone seems to be very excited.
After crossing the river, they will attack the city and seize the territory. From top to bottom, the tiger banner army has been waiting for this moment.
Tens of thousands of troops began to march from the river bank.
The wounded and dead soldiers were sent to Daheihe Dunbao. As for the Mongolians who were abandoned by the river, not a single one was left alive.
The intact Mongolian armored cavalry had already fled the river bank when they were defeated. The Mongolians who stayed on the river bank only had half their lives left. It was difficult to rescue them. Even if they were rescued, they would be disabled or suffering from diseases.
Tiger Character Banner would not waste medicinal materials on treating these Mongolians. They would simply use one knife per person to relieve the pain of these injured Mongolians.
