If the carefully cultivated war horses, hard-trained cavalry and well-made armor are enough for the agricultural cavalry to close the gap with the nomadic cavalry, then the large-scale assembly of muskets means that the agricultural cavalry has completely crushed the nomadic cavalry. .
With the blessing of advanced weapons, the qualities required by traditional cavalry, such as superb equestrian skills, riding and shooting talents, etc., are no longer important.
No matter how superb your equestrian skills are, no matter how powerful your riding and shooting skills are, can you still avoid being fired from a gun?
Can it have a farther range than a musket?
It can be said that the large-scale equipment of muskets has caused the training cost of agricultural cavalry to plummet.
The farming civilization is also blessed with extremely powerful resources.
Although this has not disappeared, they have made great progress, so they have changed their offensive and defensive forms.
The officers and soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division have never fought such a happy battle.
The light cavalry galloped forward, still more than fifty meters away from the enemy, raised their guns and fired.
Although the accuracy drops significantly when riding on a galloping horse, because the distance is close enough, there is no need to worry too much about the bullet missing.
The loading method of win94 also ensures that the cavalry can be easily manipulated while running.
One or two muskets may be insufficient, but under the hail of bullets from tens of thousands of muskets, the Mongols were completely destroyed.
Each soldier can shoot eight rounds of bullets in one breath, which means more than 80,000 rounds of bullets for more than 10,000 soldiers.
And so much ammunition can be fired in a few breaths. Just thinking about that scene, you know how terrifying it is.
Sure enough, under such unprecedented gunfire coverage, most of the Mongols were gone in the blink of an eye.
The remaining ones were completely stunned and completely lost their courage.
At this point, not to mention the cavalry of the National Defense Force, even if they were replaced by ordinary people, they could complete the harvest of the remaining enemies.
The cavalrymen put their unloaded muskets behind their backs, picked up their sabers, and attacked the enemies who still did not put down their weapons.
Oqirtu Khan was more unlucky.
His battlefield experience is not as rich as Batur Hutaiji. In order to show his status, he wears more showy clothes and is surrounded by various flags.
So during the first round of strikes by the National Defense Forces, he became the focus of care.
Just the artillery bombardment from the front scattered his guards.
Before he could gather his formation, the light cavalry rushed up. Under the violent rain of bullets, Oqiltu Khan was beaten to a pulp on the spot.
As soon as he died, the Heshuote tribe became even more leaderless, and everyone rushed to escape.
But after fighting for a day, these people were already exhausted. How could they still have the strength to escape?
The recharged Wehrmacht light cavalry chased and killed not a single enemy.
Anyway, in the vast open plains, the enemy has nowhere to hide and cannot escape sight at all.
The Heshuote people ran and ran. The more they ran, the fewer people there were. The pursuit of the Second Cavalry Division was getting closer and closer.
In the end, they couldn't run anymore and their mentality completely collapsed.
The remaining people simply jumped off their horses, threw away their weapons, and chose to surrender.
To their surprise, when the National Defense Forces caught up with them, when they saw the surrendered people, they did not massacre them, but just gathered them together for custody.
Seeing that their lives were not in danger, more and more people surrendered.
This also effectively reduced the Heshuote Department's will to resist.
In the end, this battlefield was the first to calm down.
It can be said that the Heshuote Department was completely wiped out.
Oqiltu Khan was killed on the spot, more than a thousand princes and nobles were killed or injured, and more than 300 generals from more than 100 households were captured.
On the other side, the fate of the Junggar tribe was not much better.
The heavy cavalry regiment came from behind them, so they bore the brunt.
Once the heavy cavalry charges up, it will be devastating and will not stop until it tramples all the enemies.
So when you look down from a high altitude, a wonder appears.
Wherever the heavy cavalry of the Second Cavalry Division passed, a large area of blank space suddenly appeared on the ground. It was as if a razor had been drawn across the top of the head, which was in stark contrast to the thick hair next to it.
The Dzungars who were not on the heavy cavalry charge route were all in shock and could only choose to avoid and escape.
When the battle reaches this point, even the stupidest man knows that defeat is certain.
For the Mongols, there is no psychological burden in running away after losing.
As for the life or death of the Great Khan, it doesn't matter.
But the Mongols who escaped from both sides of the heavy cavalry were still happy too early.
Behind the heavy cavalry, the dragoons had already dismounted and followed up with a strict musket array.
The Junggar people have long been outnumbered and their formations are scattered. When encountering such a terrifying array of muskets, there will be no other result than falling down row after row.
Batur Hutaiji was a little braver and managed to organize his guards. He avoided the charge of the heavy cavalry and charged desperately towards the outside.
He originally thought that the dragoons were not armored and were infantry, so they should be able to find a gap to break through.
So he saw the most powerful and tight firepower network in the world.
There seemed to be an invisible wall in front of him. No matter how tragic the Mongolian charge was, as long as it reached that line, it would be broken into pieces and disappear into thin air.
After a while, more than 5,000 corpses were piled up in front of the invisible wall, which had already hindered the subsequent movements of the cavalry.
However, the firepower of the dragoons on the opposite side showed no sign of sparseness. On the contrary, the front line was advanced and they pressed forward step by step, leaving less and less space for the Mongols to move.
Behind the scenes, the heavy cavalry finally completed the first wave of crushing.
The war horse slowed down slowly, finally stopped on the spot, and then turned around.
This is the benefit of wall charging.
Unlike the wedge formation, the cavalry had to circle in order to complete the turn.
The heavy cavalry who turned around slightly restored their formation and slowly started to speed again.
Once they are crushed again, all the remaining Junggar people will be buried on this grassland.
"Surrender!"
Batur Hutaiji, who was covered in scars and exhausted, finally recognized the reality and reluctantly issued the order.
If the fighting continues, the entire Junggar tribe will be destroyed.
In fact, without his order, many Junggar people who knew the current affairs had already jumped off their horses and threw away their weapons.
His order was equivalent to making the most stubborn group of people in the Junggar tribe lose their will to fight.
The Mongols dismounted one after another, threw away their weapons, and walked silently to the open space aside to accept the enemy's verdict.
The signal to stop the attack sounded, which actually made the National Defense officers and soldiers feel a little unsatisfied.
Just because this battle was so easy.
It was the fastest they had done since the beginning of the war.
In just over two hours, the Oirat Mongols that dominated the Western Region were completely defeated.
This has caused many people to feel unrealistic and doubt whether their military achievements will be reduced as a result.
Under the stars and the moon, Zuo Shi, who was covered in dust, slowly walked up to the dejected Batur Hutaiji.
He lifted up his visor, revealing Qingjun's face, which made Batur Hutaiji surprised.
Junggar Khan, who had dominated the Western Regions for decades, actually lost to such a young man?
Only when Zuo Shi's sword was placed on his shoulder did Batur Hutaiji finally wake up.
As of now, he is already a prisoner.
"On behalf of the Imperial Defense Force, I formally accept your surrender."
