Fireguns are powerful but not powerful.
A single firecracker, or ten firecrackers, are not very useful on the battlefield, but hundreds of firecrackers and thousands of firecrackers are different.
Once a firecracker reaches a large scale, its power will increase exponentially.
When there are more fire blunderbuss, they will make up for the lack of accuracy, but they are more powerful than bows and arrows and more difficult to resist.
Jurchens who were born as fishermen and hunters are good at using bows and arrows, but that does not mean that everyone is a marksman. In addition, the use of heavy arrows takes advantage of weapons.
But this does not mean that the Jurchens are truly invincible if they use heavy arrows. If the Mongols can also use heavy arrows, they can definitely teach their grandson a lesson by beating the Jurchens.
It is a pity that the Mongols have been suppressed by the Ming Dynasty, restricting the flow of iron items into the hands of the Mongols.
Even if there are some iron objects, the Mongolians use them as pots and pans. In addition, the various Mongolian tribes have been in a state of splitting, annexing, and splitting again.
The weapons used by everyone are similar, and the back and forth is to meet the opponent, so naturally there is no need to use strong bows and arrows.
The Ming Dynasty had the conditions to build strong bow hardware, and even various firearms. Because the Ming Dynasty had iron, once the country was in operation, all kinds of weapons could be built.
But whether it can be built and whether it works well is another story.
Even so, the Ming Dynasty was able to maintain a good balance with the Mongolian tribes in the steppe, and the Mongols could only rely on the Ming Dynasty if they wanted to live a better life.
As for the old slaves among the Jurchens, it is a different situation.
As an old slave who had stayed under Li Chengliang's tent for several years, he even used armor to gain advantage. When the Mongols used iron tools to make iron pots for cooking, he used iron tools in armor to grab more soldiers. thing.
Robbers are all businessmen without capital. The more things they steal, not only will they have iron pots for cooking, but they will also have more soldiers and armor in their hands, forming a virtuous cycle.
In a terrible environment all around, the appearance of a being who valued his own strength naturally stood out.
Many times it doesn't matter how strong you are, it just needs the people around you to be worse than you.
The Two Red Flags have always been invincible on the battlefield in Liaodong, and have encountered only a handful of defeats.
However, this time when facing the Dragon Cavalry Division of the Tiger Flag, the strength of soldiers and armor they relied on in the past no longer held an advantage. When facing the Dragon Cavalry Division, which had superior discipline and armament, the bloody bravery of the soldiers, the two red flags The army could not even withstand the offensive of the Dragoon Division.
More and more soldiers and horses of the two red flags died tragically on the grassland and turned into corpses as the dragoon division advanced step by step.
"Master, we can't stop it anymore, take the remaining cavalry and leave quickly!" A left leader of the Eight Banners covered in blood came to Yue Tuo.
On the grassland, the infantry cannot escape at all, especially when the opponent has a cavalry eyeing them.
"Even if you leave, where can you go?" Yue Tuo's face was filled with bitterness.
The two red flags were destroyed in his hands and he fled back. He didn't know how to face Huang Taiji and his own Amma.
"There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that if you leave a green mountain, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. Only if you survive, master, will you have the opportunity to avenge your slaves in the future." Zuo Ling persuaded Yue Tuo.
"Me!" Yue Tuo opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally turned into a sigh.
In the end, he complied with the opinions of his subordinates and took the remaining cavalry with the red flag to avoid the attack position of the Tiger Flag army and fled from another direction.
His departure did not attract much attention from the two red flag soldiers.
Except for the top commander and a few left leaders who knew about it, the other two red flag cavalry didn't know at all. The general's flag was left directly in the camp.
The reason for doing this was also decided after some discussion.
The later the ordinary flag soldiers of the two red flags discover Yue Tuo's departure, the longer they can hold on. Otherwise, once the news of Yue Tuo abandoning the camp and fleeing spreads, it is likely that the last bit of morale of the two red flags will be consumed.
However, as soon as Yue Tuo escaped, he was immediately discovered by the Tiger Banner Cavalry Division outside, and a cavalry brigade immediately chased him.
The soldiers and horses of the Two Red Banners who stayed in the camp persisted for less than half an hour, but were finally defeated and fled in all directions. Many of the soldiers of the Two Red Banners became prisoners of the Dragoon Division.
The remaining two red flag ginseng leaders were all killed in the battle, and there were only three left leaders, all of whom became prisoners.
"Wu Shizheng, congratulations! Here are Daishan and Yue Tuo! Bring them over quickly and let me have a look." Ma Yunjiu rode to Lao Wu's side.
Lao Wu said with a dark face: "Don't say you didn't know anything about Daishan and Yue Tuo's escape!"
"Really ran away?" Ma Yunjiu was surprised at first, then smiled, "It is true that two slave thieves' cavalry escaped from the camp, but I have arranged for people to catch them. I didn't expect them to be two big fish."
"snort!"
When Lao Wu heard this, he snorted coldly in his nostrils.
Ma Yunjiu, who got the advantage, said with a smile on his face: "You are angry too, Fifth Brother. Your dragoon division has eaten two red flags and more than 10,000 troops. This contribution is not small. You can't not give us cavalry any soup." Master, please stay!”
"You got a small advantage and still behaved well. Without the dragoon division fighting so hard here, there would be no chance for your cavalry division to take advantage." Lao Wu said angrily.
Although he was annoyed in his heart, he also understood that the originally decided countermeasure was to have the Dragoon Division take the main attack, while the two Red Flag deserters who fled were handed over to the Cavalry Division.
The only thing to blame is that Dai Shan and Yue Tuo were so cruel. They abandoned the two red flag troops of more than 10,000 people at the drop of a hat and only focused on escaping for their own lives. This was no different from those Ming army generals.

"Oh, don't be angry. When my people catch Daishan and Yue Tuo, I'll let you vent your anger." Ma Yunjiu comforted Lao Wu.
But he never thought about handing people over to Lao Wu.
Lao Wu looked sideways at Ma Yunjiu and said, "Don't be too happy too early. If these two big fish run away, even if one of them runs away, you will still cry."
"Don't worry, none of the prey our cavalry division is targeting can escape." Ma Yunjiu said this, then turned his horse's head and said, "I won't disturb you, Wu Division is cleaning the battlefield, wait for me next Good news!"
As he spoke, he spurred his horse and galloped away.
Lao Wu squinted at the direction Ma Yunjiu was leaving, and muttered: "After talking for a long time, I'm still worried that my men will let people go."
After speaking, he withdrew his gaze and continued to direct his men to clean up the battlefield.
Daishan, who was the first to escape from the camp, did not escape smoothly. He was bitten by a group of cavalry with tiger flags behind him.
"You take the master and leave, and I will resist them." A Bajala turned his horse's head and shouted, "Come with some people and follow me to stop the tiger thief's cavalry."
About ten riders stopped with him.
