As the war progressed, the Ming army's casualties continued to increase.
But the Tatars also felt uncomfortable. Many cavalry could no longer leave the battlefield and could only choose to fight hand-to-hand with the Ming army.
As for the thousands of cavalry of the Ming army, they have now been pursued by more than 10,000 cavalry sent by Arutai and can no longer support the frontal battlefield.
However, without more than 10,000 cavalry, the pressure on the frontal battlefield has been greatly relieved.
With its numerical advantage, the Ming army was on par with the Tatars, and could even gain the upper hand in certain areas.
However, this situation will not last long.
After all, before the war began, the Ming army's combat effectiveness had seriously declined due to lack of water.
The Tatar cavalry, on the other hand, had enough food, drink, and sleep, and their combat prowess remained at its peak.
Around the battlefield, the Tatars also had a mobile force of thousands of cavalry, specially designed to shoot and kill the Ming army's infantry.
Further away, Taishi Arutai was accompanied by a reserve team of more than 10,000 riders.
The current situation of the Ming army can be said to be extremely critical.
On the observation deck, Zhu Quan looked at the tragic battlefield. Every Ming army soldier was not afraid of death. Even if he was seriously injured, he would die together with the Tatar cavalry.
His eyes were splitting, but he couldn't do anything else.
He has no more soldiers left.
At this moment, he saw a group of thousands of Tatar cavalry in the distance rushing towards the battlefield.
With the addition of thousands of Tatar cavalry at the peak of their combat power, the Ming army was quickly suppressed.
"We can't continue like this, otherwise the army will be completely destroyed."
Zhu Quan clenched his fist and punched the wooden railing on the observation deck.
"Prepare your horses and follow me to kill the enemy!" Zhu Quan shouted in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, the sword has no eyes, you can't put yourself in danger!" the soldier advised.
"Fart, what are you doing now, Mother Dute? Once the whole army is defeated, it will be all over."
Zhu Quan cursed.
By this time, the soldiers of the Ming Army had proven their willpower.
Although Zhu Quan boosted morale through his speeches before the war, after a long period of participation in the war and fierce fighting, morale was almost exhausted.
Not to mention the blow to morale caused by the wave of cavalry that had just joined the battlefield.
In order to prevent the entire front from being defeated, Zhu Quan had to go on stage in person to boost morale.
"Your Highness..."
"Execute military orders!"
"As you command!"
The next moment, Zhu Quan led his soldiers down the watchtower.
There are hundreds of people below, all protecting Zhu Quan's safety.
"Put up my royal banner!"
"Follow me and launch an attack!"
Zhu Quan shouted.
"yes!"
…
With Zhu Quan's entrance, the Ming army soldiers on the battlefield seemed to have been given a shot in the arm.
"Brothers, His Highness is not afraid of death. What do we Qiu Ba have to fear?"
"Kill the Tartars!"
"Kill the Tartars!"
Voices like this kept coming and going.
The Ming army's counterattack interrupted the Tatar offensive. For a moment, the fierce Tatars were repulsed.
This gave the Ming army soldiers a lot of encouragement.
In the distance, Arutai also saw Zhu Quan's large banner.
He smiled at the tribal leader beside him and said:
"Did you see that the Ming army is at the end of its rope? Even Zhu Quan started to go out to boost morale."
"There is an old saying in the Central Plains, it is the straw that breaks the camel's back."
"Now, all it takes is the last straw to overwhelm the Ming army."
"Send the order!"
"Send two thousand more warriors to attack Zhu Quan."
"As long as Zhu Quan falls, I don't believe that the Ming army will still have the heart to resist."
"It's time for this war to end."
"Yes, Grand Master!"
…
The armor on Zhu Quan's body has been stained red with blood, and the number of soldiers following him has also been reduced by dozens.
The cruelty of the war is evident.
"Brothers, if you keep holding on, our reinforcements will be here soon."
Zhu Quan rushed to kill while boosting morale.
This kind of hand-to-hand combat is extremely exhausting.
Zhu Quan's physical fitness is also considered strong, but the long period of charging has also caused his physical strength to decline rapidly.
At the end, you can only rely on your willpower to continue fighting.
As the battle progressed, Zhu Quan had fewer and fewer soldiers around him.
Without the protection of his own soldiers, Zhu Quan inevitably began to get injured.
However, the thick armor prevented him from most of the damage.
Nowadays, the battlefield is in chaos, and everyone can only identify ourselves and the enemy by the armor and clothing on their bodies.
If you look down from a high altitude, you will see a melee of more than 100,000 people.
It was so densely packed that it was impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
You have me I have you!
It’s messy, it’s so messy!
…
"Hush!"
Xu Huizu reined in the reins, turned around and asked the lieutenant beside him: "How far are we from His Highness Prince Ning and the others?"
"Half an hour ago, the scouts came to report that we are less than a hundred miles away from the battlefield."
"It's estimated to be fifty or sixty miles away now."
The deputy general thought for a moment and replied.
"No, it's too slow."
"His Royal Highness Prince Ning and the others are in a very critical situation now. We must speed up."
Xu Huizu said seriously.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although there have been countless battles with the Mongolian cavalry, no vassal king has ever died in battle.
If something unexpected happens to Prince Ning this time, the impact will be huge.
These reinforcements may also be accused of inadequate rescue.
"Send the order, abandon everything that is useless for the battle, and speed up the entire army to rush to the battlefield."
Xu Huizu ordered.
"yes."
The deputy general took the order.
…
On the other side, the joint cavalry of the Ming Army and Uliangha, lightly armed and simple, has now entered the territory of the Tatar tribe.
Since the main Tatar force was fighting the Ming army, the coalition forces boldly took measures to divide their forces.
Each team has 3,000 men, 2,000 Uliangha cavalry, and 1,000 Ming army cavalry, a total of five such teams.
The Uliangha cavalry, who are Mongolians, are the most adaptable to terrain like the grassland.
Under their leadership, the coalition cavalry could easily find the Tatar tribe.
No matter whether it is a large tribe or a small tribe, they cannot avoid their "patronage".
Kill all the old and young men, but leave the women and children behind.
This is the rule on the grassland.
Wu Liangha's purpose this time, in addition to looting property, was also population.
Compared with Tatar and Oara, Uliangha is at the bottom of the list in terms of strength and its population is not as large as theirs.
If we don’t seize this opportunity to grow, we don’t know when we will have such an opportunity next time.
Of course, for some large tribes, it is impossible for three thousand cavalry to kill all the young men, and there will always be fish that slip through the net.
They had already gone to report for help.
And the Ming army let them go, intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, their task is to share the pressure of the army led by Zhu Quan.
If Arutai didn't know that his home base had been robbed, how could he send troops to help?
…
To the west of the Tatar tribe, Wala is also in a state of mind.
As the leader, Mahamu naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation and rob them.
After all, robbery is their specialty!
