boom! boom! boom!
Deafening cannon fire came from the direction of the two camps outside Qingcheng.
"We fought the Mongols in two camps outside the city." Li Shuheng said, holding a monocular telescope in his hand.
Through the monocular, he could clearly see the situation on the battlefield.
Cannons are the great weapons of this era. Gods can kill gods and Buddhas if they block them.
The Mongolian cavalry were as if they were made of paper under the bombardment of the artillery, and they were defenseless. After being hit by the cannon, they were almost dead.
Because of the relationship between the two camps in front, Qingcheng has not been attacked by the Mongols for the time being.
Liu Heng also held a monocular, looked at the battlefield ahead, and asked: "Are the gunpowder and cannons in the two camps fully prepared?"
"Don't worry, sir, the gunpowder and cannons prepared by the army are enough to kill the tens of thousands of troops brought by Bu Shitu several times." Li Shuheng said at the side.
Liu Heng nodded and added: "After all these years, the Mongols' methods of attacking cities are still so crude and simple, with no change at all. In this battle, Bu Shitu only had the advantage of one man."
"No matter how many people there are, it's useless." Li Shuheng said, "The army commanded by Bu Shitu looks like a lot of troops, but in fact they are all string-controlling soldiers from various ministries. They were put together temporarily and can fight with the wind. There’s no chance of a tough fight.”
Liu Heng chuckled lightly and said, "You were right, the Mongols retreated."
On the battlefield outside Qingcheng, the Mongolian cavalry attacking the two camps retreated like a tide.
"It seems that the Mongols were even more useless than expected. They were defeated so quickly." Li Shuheng said mockingly.
Liu Heng smiled and said: "The Mongolian cavalry is still quite strong, and it is no worse than Ye Bushou. It's a pity that the tribes under Bu Shitu's Taiji have their own agendas, and they all don't care about their own tribe." There were too many soldiers killed and wounded, and they were making wedding clothes for other tribes. Once the offensive was blocked, the first thing that came to mind was to preserve our strength."
"With this strategy, I'm afraid the war will be over in less than two days." Li Shuheng looked at the retreating Mongolian cavalry in the distance with a sarcastic look on his face.
The Mongols were defeated so quickly, which made him look down on the Mongolian army that invaded outside the city.
Liu Heng chuckled and said: "The Mongols will be defeated sooner or later. Next, it is time to deal with the fortune teller. If he is alive, it will not be conducive for us to take over the Tumut grassland."
"It's a pity that Su Nang didn't take action against Bu Shitu, so we can only arrange for our people to do it themselves." Li Shuheng said with a slight frown.
He was a little disappointed that Su Nang did not kill the fortune teller.
In the original plan, Su Nang's killing of the Stone Blessing Rabbit was the best result for the Tiger Flag. In the future, the Tiger Flag's complete control of the Tumut Grassland would face less resistance.
Once the fortune teller dies in the hands of the people from their Tiger-Character Banner, it will inevitably make some Mongolians resist the Tiger-Character Banner, which will involve more energy from the Tiger-Character Banner to maintain their rule.
To attack a place, you only need to know how to kill people, but it is difficult to rule a place by killing people for a long time, or it will take several generations to eliminate this hostility.
Liu Heng said: "We'll wait and see. If Su Nang hasn't taken action after Bu Shitu's defeat, we can arrange for people from the Foreign Intelligence Service to take action against Bu Shitu."
Li Shuheng nodded.
Among the two people, killing Bushitu, the Tumut Khan, seemed to be an easy task.
Flags of various Mongolian ministries with various patterns were flapping in the cold wind.
The fortune teller on horseback looked ashen.
Tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry attacked two camps with tiger-shaped flags, but they were routed without even touching the sides of the camps. The number of Mongolians killed and wounded by the hooves of their own horses was more than those killed and wounded by the tiger-shaped flag artillery. many.
What he couldn't accept the most was that not only did Taiji from all the ministries around him not feel ashamed because of the defeat, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.
When did the warriors on the grassland not feel ashamed even when they were defeated?
"Great Khan, why don't we attack again and send more people this time." Kankantada suggested from the side.
Bu Shitu looked at the various tribes around him with a gloomy face, and asked: "Who is willing to lead the battle and send warriors from the tribe to attack the two camps in front?"
All the ministries have backgrounds, and their strength is not weak. If he wants to mobilize the troops of each ministry, even if he is the Great Khan, he needs to discuss it with Taiji of each ministry.
Otherwise, even if he designated one or a few tribes to attack the Tiger Banner's camp, if the Taijis of those tribes disagreed, he would have no choice but to lose face and dignity.
As his words fell, no one around him answered.
Even Taiji of the Tumut Department did not take the initiative to take orders. Instead, he pretended not to hear and looked into the distance without squinting.
The hand on the reins of Bu Shitu clenched tightly into a fist, and veins popped out on the back of his hand.
"Great Khan, I am willing to personally lead the warriors of the tribe to capture the camp in front." Seeing that the other Taijis were speechless, Kankantada had no choice but to stand up on his own.
Bu Shitu glanced at Kankantada and said weakly: "Forget it, retreat!"
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and left from the front of the formation without looking back.
As the personal guard general, Zhamuhe led a group of personal guards and rode away beside Bu Shitu.
Kankantada looked at the departing figure of Bushitu, sighed, and ordered: "Retreat."
Woo! Woo! Woo!
The horn horn was blown, and the Mongolian army began to retreat. The various tribes also began to gather the armored cavalry who had retreated from the front, and retreated to the camp with the army.
In one of the camps outside Qingcheng City, Chen Xunping was lying on the edge of the camp wall, holding up a monocular in his hand, frowning slightly, and said: "These soldiers retreated too fast."
Although the Mongolian attack was repelled in the previous battle, for him, it did not cause much damage to the Mongolian army. It was difficult for him to be happy about such a result.
"How about letting the armored cavalry battalion pursue them from behind?" Qin Rong said from the side.
Chen Xunping thought for a while and said: "There are too few people in the armored cavalry battalion. We may fail to pursue them and fall into the siege of the Mongolian cavalry. Our cavalry cannot afford to lose it."
Rejected Qin Rong's proposal.
"Do you suspect that the Mongols' retreat this time is a trap, deliberately trying to lure our cavalry into taking the bait?" Qin Rong said thoughtfully.
Chen Xunping said: "It may not be a trap, but with our strength, we can defeat the tens of thousands of Mongolian troops head-on. There is no need to risk the armored cavalry battalion."
"With the strength of our Tiger Flag army, even if we leave the camp and advance step by step, we can defeat the Mongolian army brought by Bu Shitu." Qin Rong said.
Through repeated battles, the Mongolians' false appearance of strength has long been torn to pieces by the Tiger Flag.
Chen Xunping pursed his lips and said: "We have too many new soldiers. There is no need to risk fighting tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the field at this time. Even if we have to fight in the field, we must destroy the last bit of courage in this Mongolian army to dare to fight."
In one winter, the Tiger Flag expanded to over 10,000 troops, and its combat effectiveness naturally declined.
