PS: Thanks to book friend Cao Gen Dang Cai Cai for the tip.
"Taiji, old Taiji and the others are back." A Mongolian armored knight next to Su Nang reminded.
Su Nang turned around and looked over.
Not far away, Kankantada and Halbala were coming in his direction.
Soon, both Harbala and Kankantada came closer.
"How's it going? Have the Ordos and Yongxiebu tribes come back?" Su Nang asked eagerly to Kankantada who had just arrived in front of him.
Before Kankantada could speak, Harbala stood aside and spoke first: "Bayin has brought back the people from Yongxie Buhe. Buhe is determined to leave and will not come back no matter how much he is persuaded. Later, Lao Tai and I When Ji saw the tiger banner army coming, he had no choice but to bring back Bayin and Yongxiebu tribe's people first."
"Let's not worry about the peace issue for now. Next, we still need to think about how to deal with the approaching Tiger Flag army." Kankantada said to the two people.
Su Nang nodded and said: "What Lao Taiji said is right. The top priority is to deal with the invading Tiger-Character Banner army first. After the Tiger-Character Flag is dealt with, I will send someone to the Ordos Department to see Boziged Taiji and give it to us. An explanation.”
Bozhigede was the lord of the Ordos tribe, and Buhehui came to the Tumed tribe, and he was also assigned by Bozigede.
"How come there are only so few soldiers in each department? Didn't I send someone back a long time ago to send back the news of the Tiger Banner's incoming army?" Kankantada looked at the few Mongolian armored cavalry around him and frowned. .
Su Nang said: "I have asked Senaban to lead people to rush them. They should be able to arrive before the tiger-character flag troops arrive."
"Chaqake, take people to the various ministries to urge them, and ask Taiji from each ministry to bring the soldiers from the tribe and come over immediately." Kankantada turned around and said to Chaqake behind him.
Chaqake nodded, and then said to the Mongolian armored cavalry around him: "You guys follow me."
He recruited a few Mongolian armored cavalry and rode away with these people.
"I'll go back and take a look. It seems that no one from my tribe has arrived." Halbala said to the two men and rode away.
The Tiger Banner's tens of thousands of troops were mostly infantry, and were dragged down by artillery vehicles. Their marching speed was not fast, which gave the Mongolian army enough time to regroup.
When the tiger-character banner army appeared outside the Mongolian army camp, Su Nang and Taiji from various ministries had already assembled most of the Mongolian army and lined up in front of the Mongolian camp.
The two sides opened up their posture.
The four-pounders on the Tiger Flag side were pushed forward one by one, and the gunners of the artillery team stood guard around the four-pounders.
One after another, the commanding flags played out the semaphores in the hands of the commanding flag officer.
"Reporting to the division, all battalions are ready and waiting for the next order." After receiving the news from each battalion in flag language, a soldier came to Chen Xunping to report.
Chen Xunping has been observing the movements of the Mongolian army through the monocular in his hand.
After hearing that each battalion had entered their respective positions, he put down the monocular telescope in his hand and said solemnly: "According to the original plan, order each battalion to launch an attack on the Mongols."
"Yes." The soldier agreed, turned around and ran away.
A four-wheeled cart was parked not far away. The soldier climbed onto the roof of the cart, pulled out the two flags on his body, and conveyed orders to each battalion.
boom! boom! boom!
The artillery team took the lead in launching the attack.
Almost at the same time, nearly a hundred four-pound cannons were fired, and iron balls shot out from the barrels and shot towards the Mongolian army on the opposite side.
The sound of artillery was overwhelming, and no chaotic sounds could be heard in front of the two armies. All that could be heard in the ears was the roar of cannons.
The war horses under the Mongols' crotches became restless amidst the sound of cannons. The horses' hooves kept trampling the ground under their feet, and their nostrils kept snoring.
Fortunately, the Mongolians were very good at equestrian skills and managed to calm down the horse under them with all their strength.
"We can't wait any longer, and immediately arrange for the army to attack the Tiger Flag army on the opposite side." Kankantada saw hundreds of Mongolian armored knights in front of him dying under the shelling of the Tiger Flag, and his eyes turned red.
"What did you say?" Under the cover of the gunfire, Su Nang did not hear clearly what Kankantada said.
Kankantada had no choice but to shout loudly: "We can't continue to be beaten passively, we must launch an attack on the army of the Tiger Flag."
Su Nang nodded.
Although he couldn't hear it very clearly, he understood what Kancantada meant.
"Senaban, go and tell Gunbu Taiji of the Tushe Tuhan tribe, and ask him to immediately lead Mobei's armored cavalry to the Tiger Banner army, and find a way to prevent the Tiger Banner's artillery from continuing to fire." Su Nang. shouted the same loudly to Senaban.
At this moment, a round of artillery fire passed, and the sound of the artillery was much quieter.
Senaban nodded and ran to convey Su Nang's order to the people in Mobei.
Kankantada said: "We can't just send people from Mobei to fight. Our Tumut Department also needs to send two teams of thousands to cooperate with Mobei."
"Just follow what Lao Taiji said, send two thousand troops to fight." Su Nang nodded, and then said a few words to the guards around him.
The guard rode away.
Not long after, a team of five or six thousand armored cavalry emerged from the formation of the Mongolian army and rushed towards the opposite Tiger Flag army camp.
The sound of cannons continued, and Mongolians continued to be hit by the cannons and fell off their horses. Some even people and horses were hit by the cannons.
Teams of fire gunmen began to line up, aiming their fire guns at the Mongolian armored cavalry charging forward.
The artillery team officer kept calculating the distance to the Mongolian cavalry in his mind.
When the five or six thousand Mongolian armored cavalry rushed out from under the muzzle of the tiger-shaped flag, the space between the Mongolian armored cavalry was larger, and the team was much thinner.
boom! boom! boom!
The Mongolian armored cavalry who had just rushed out from the muzzle alive were attacked head-on by hundreds of fire cannons, mixed with many shotgun shells from the squatting tiger cannon.
Rows of gunmen and a squat cannon don't need to be aimed at all. Just aim forward and shoot. Countless iron beads and iron sand form an airtight net.
The Mongolian armored cavalry were like ripe wheat, being cut down in rows.
The blood dyed the green grass that had just sprouted red and soaked the earth. The smell of blood and gunpowder permeated the sky on the battlefield.
"The Mongolian troops that attacked us were defeated." Qin Rong took away the monocular in front of him and said to Chen Xunping in a relaxed tone.
Chen Xunping held a monocular with one hand, always paying attention to the changes on the battlefield. At this time, he said: "Order the artillery fire to extend forward, ignore the fleeing Mongolians, and directly bombard the Mongolian army behind."
The messenger ran to deliver the order.
Soon, the sound of cannons on the battlefield became quieter, but not long after, hundreds of cannons fired together again.
