The thin front line laid out by the Han army flags could not hold on for even a quarter of an hour before it was penetrated by the cavalry of the cavalry division.
Infantry are naturally at a disadvantage when facing cavalry. Once they cannot hold on to their formation, they will only become the targets of massacre and have no power to resist.
The hundreds of cavalrymen in the Han army's flag team tried to save the situation, but they were attacked one by one by the cavalry divisions who had been standing nearby, and they were killed directly, leaving their helmets and armor behind.
The soldiers of the Han Army Banner were divided into different areas by the cavalry division's cavalry, and the cavalry repeatedly surrounded and killed the enemy troops in their area.
The flag soldiers of the Han army who only held on for a short while began to take the initiative to drop their weapons and choose to surrender.
Many Han Banner soldiers are no strangers to surrender. The last time they surrendered was to Dajin's soldiers and horses, this time they just changed the target of surrender.
The cavalrymen under the Han banner realized something was wrong and began to flee the battlefield.
With their war horses, they could have escaped smoothly, but because they were tightly held by a cavalry battalion from the cavalry division, only less than a hundred horses escaped.
The battle ended quickly.
The Han army flag dropped by the Qing army did not cause much trouble to the Tiger Banner Cavalry Division, but it still delayed a lot of time for the escaped Eight Banners Qing army.
Ma Yunjiu sent a cavalry battalion to continue chasing the fleeing Qing troops. He did not ask that they must catch up, but only asked that they not lose the remaining Qing troops.
The remaining cavalry battalions of the cavalry division began to clean the battlefield, and at the same time, they fed the war horses some fine materials to restore their strength, and waited for the war troops coming from behind to take over the prisoners.
There are never too many tiger flags for prisoners.
The northern provinces have suffered from natural disasters for many years and experienced many man-made disasters. The number of Dingkou has decreased a lot compared with normal years.
Whether the Tiger Character Flag has factories or mines, manpower is needed to do things, and repairing roads everywhere also requires manpower. However, the war is not over, and the world is not unified. The Tiger Character Flag not only cannot reduce the number of troops, but also increases a lot of troops. .
Whether it is a workshop or a mine, whether it is building roads or soldiers, you need young people.
It takes at least ten years for a child to grow up. Even if the tiger-character flag gives the people under its rule a stable life, there is no guarantee that the child will grow up all at once, so the captured defeated troops are the best supplement.
Except for some generals, almost all the others who can be mixed in the army are young and strong. Even some older soldiers can do some things within their capabilities.
On the grassland, the Han army's defeated troops would not be able to escape unless they were very lucky.
And even if they escaped this time, there was almost no possibility of survival on the grassland without food or water, so most of the Han army's flag soldiers accepted their fate and chose to surrender instead of thinking about escaping.
Ma Yunjiu went to chase the fleeing Eight Banners Qing army, but stayed to direct his men to clean up the battlefield.
As for the Qing army, he never thought that it would be completely solved in one day. Most of the remaining Qing troops were mounted on war horses, so it was naturally not easy to catch up and stop them.
He is very patient in pursuing his prey.
As long as he keeps biting his prey and does not let go, otherwise the prey may lose its trace, he is absolutely sure to capture the Eight Banners Qing army that is still escaping.
While waiting, Ma Yunjiu ate a few pieces of dried meat and drank some water.
At the same time, do not forget to set up the camp here.
Even if the cavalry division doesn't use it, the combat division coming from behind will.
All the work of setting up the camp was left to the prisoners. The cavalry division only sent a few people to keep an eye on the prisoners.
The unarmed and unarmored prisoners of the Han army were all very honest and did whatever they were told.
The reason why he was so obedient was simply because without food and weapons, even if he escaped, it would be difficult to survive on the grassland.
When the camp was almost settled, the outpost team of the War Soldier Division caught up from behind.
"Shi Zheng, the commander is here."
The people below came to deliver a message to Ma Yunjiu.
After hearing this, Ma Yunjiu stood up from the resting place, patted the dirt on his body, and said to the people on the side: "Let's go, follow me to greet you."
He knew about the arrival of the outpost team of the War Soldier Division, but he did not expect that Zhang Hong would come with the outpost.
Not far away, he saw Zhang Hong walking towards him with a few people.
"Commander, why don't you come with the army? It's too dangerous to have only one detachment with you." Ma Yunjiu said as if he was blaming when they met.
Hearing this, Zhang Hong waved his hand and said with a smile: "What danger can there be? We are all around here. Our only opponent, the Qing Army, I still hope they can come back, but it's a pity that they have gone far away."
"I have arranged for people to chase them. It should be impossible today. Almost everyone left in the Qing army has a horse. It will take some time to stop them." Ma Yunjiu said.
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "We still have the dragoon division coming from the direction of Ji Town. As long as the cavalry division follows closely, they will not be able to escape."
"I have arranged for a battalion of cavalry to continue the pursuit. The remaining Qing troops will definitely not be able to escape." Ma Yunjiu assured.
A small group of cavalry might be able to escape. The Qing army's Eight Banners soldiers and Zu Dashou's Guan Ning cavalry were so visible on the grasslands that they didn't have to worry about being lost.
There are also many Mongolians in the dragoon division. These people are very familiar with how to chase prey on the grasslands. It is even more impossible for the Qing army to escape with so many people.
"I believe in your cavalry division." Zhang Hong praised, and then looked at the captured Han flag soldiers and horses not far away, "First, the Guan Ning army lost its own infantry, and now the Eight Banners soldiers also lost their Han soldiers. There are probably not many soldiers left in the Qing army under the banner, and they pose less of a threat to us."
Ma Yunjiu handed over the kettle in his hand and said: "The commander-in-chief of the Qing army gave up his troops one after another, and now he is not even qualified to fight with us."
"I'm not thirsty." Zhang Hong refused the kettle handed over by Ma Yunjiu and said, "It was the battle yesterday that scared the Qing army. They felt that they were no match for us and were afraid that the soldiers and horses in their hands would be damaged here."
Ma Yunjiu picked up the kettle and took a sip of water, wiped his mouth with his hand, and said: "Since the last time the commander-in-chief wiped out Daishan's two red flags on the grassland, the Qing army has been attacking our tiger-character flag since then. I have never taken any advantage, and I have suffered a lot from defeat. As soon as I find that the situation is unfavorable, my first thought is not to stay and fight to create opportunities, but to think about how to escape and preserve my strength. It seems that the Qing army is not going to be able to do it. I am afraid that it will be used It will be taken back by our Tiger Flag in less than two years."
"How long it will take to recover Liaodong depends on the arrangements made by the lord." Zhang Hong said, "The Second War Zone has stationed a lot of troops on the Liaodong Peninsula. Maybe the matter of recovering Liaodong in the future will fall to the Second War Zone. On the body."
