Beat the drum!
The sound of drums echoed across the sky, and the sun and moon flags faced the west wind.
Between heaven and earth, the soldiers' shouts of killing continued to be heard from all directions.
The Chinese army's hot air balloon took off, getting higher and higher, dropping paper balls wrapped with mud from time to time.
Zhu Di received accurate information. The Tatars were truly defeated and fled. They no longer had any backhand or strength. In this case, they could only beat the fallen dog.
"Use chaos to cause chaos, the whole army pursues, and no one is allowed to let go!"
Zhu Di gave the order, got on his horse and pointed north: "Let's go see Benya Shili and Arutai!"
Tie Xuan, Yang Pu and others mounted their horses to follow.
The flag points north.
The Chinese army entered the battlefield.
Benya Shili and Arutai were both running for their lives and paid a heavy price. Most of the main force and elites, let alone the victory over the Ming army, didn't even have a chance to hold hands face to face!
The age of firearms has rendered cavalry colorless.
The age of firearms has left the grassland with no more hymns.
Benya was in agony after being lost, broken, everything was broken, and wanted to rely on the Tatars to destroy Oara and avenge his father. The greatest sadness in life is that while my enemy Mahamu is still alive, I may die first...
The talk about the great Yuan being restored and the restoration of the Great Yuan Empire are all nonsense and nonsense!
The power of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded imagination, and the power of firearms is no longer something that humans can resist.
This era belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and there is no room for Tatars.
Run, if you don't run, you won't be able to escape.
Arutai did not escape with Benya Shili. Benya Shili ran toward the northeast, while Arutai chose the northwest.
At this moment, Arutai was filled with unwillingness.
Occupying the right time, location, and people, why did he lose?
firearm!
I lost to firearms!
Arutai doesn't know why the Ming Dynasty's firearms are so powerful that even the cavalry cannot deal with them, cannot resist them, and even the heavy cavalry cannot fight with them!
The sorrow of running away.
Arutai suddenly thought of Timur, that heroic figure, that cripple with great ambition, that old man who wanted to conquer the whole world. Was he also full of pain when he was running for his life?
He must have never imagined that the Ming army's firearms would be so powerful, right?
The world's elites and the world's cavalry were all defeated by firearms!
The era of cavalry dominating the world is over. Firearms will become the sharpest weapons for conquering the world. They are more powerful and more destructive than cavalry.
Tatar lost, and his many years of planning and hard work were completely over.
What's the point of thinking about this now?
Only by escaping alive can you leave a firewood.
Liu Qixia was chasing Arutai, and the cavalry team that fled in front of him still numbered 5,000, which was really a bit of a hindrance.
So, Liu Qixia turned her head and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Clear the road!"
Then, Liu Qixia took out the long-barreled firearm on his back, stretched out the legs of the firearm, stuck it on his shoulder, then opened the cover, aimed at the fleeing Tatar cavalry team in front, and pulled the trigger.
boom!
The firearm trembled suddenly, hitting the shoulder with a strong force. A black gunpowder bullet as thick as a child's forearm flew out and fell into the Tatar cavalry in a graceful arc, followed by an explosion. , five or six riders were severely damaged.
The cavalry artillery sergeants took out shoulder-resistant firearms one after another. This is a shoulder-resistant version of the squatting tiger cannon. However, compared to the squatting tiger cannon, this type of firearm is exclusively used by cavalry, and because the cavalry is rushing to attack, it is inconvenient to refill it. Installed, can only be used once at most.
If you don't use it easily, you will win or lose if you use it.
Now that the Tatars were fleeing, Liu Qixia ordered the use of this type of shoulder-resistant fire weapon in order to prevent the cunning fox Arutai from escaping.
Arutai never expected that the Ming cavalry could use firearms like this
, with the sergeant behind him suffering heavy losses, the cavalry behind him actually scattered.
The Ming army doesn't care about this. If you scatter and flee, we will scatter and chase you.
Anyway, the location you chose is grassland beyond the mountains. Anyway, on the day you chose, dusk has passed and the starry sky is very clear.
If there is light, I won’t be afraid of you running away.
Chase!
We must exhaust all means and capture Arutai and Benya Shili at any cost, otherwise this huge military operation will not be perfect!
Zhu Di galloped and joined the chasing team. The Ming army sergeants were encouraged.
There were still prisoners on the battlefield, and Xu Huizu did not kill them all. Instead, he arranged for military doctors to take care of them. Of course, those who had no arms or legs and were unable to mine could not be saved.
Even if these Tatar cavalry thought they could still save their lives, for example, if they had two broken thumbs and the bleeding could be stopped, Daming felt that the injuries were really serious and that living would be a waste of food, so he sent him on his way. .net
But the one with a broken toe can still be saved...
Prisoners are not exactly prisoners, more like selection.
The pursuit continued until noon on the second day, when Liu Qixia led his troops back and threw Arutai off his horse like a dog. Benya did not run away, but was captured by Gao Zhongguang and others. return.
This battle was far more relaxed than the one against Timur under the Tianshan Mountains. There was neither back-and-forth fighting nor endless fighting.
In Zhu Di's view, compared to Timur in the sixth year of Jianwen, Arutai was really weaker by more than one level.
Weakness here is relative.
On the contrary, it is the re-improvement of the power of firearms in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, the high popularity of firearms, the continuous enrichment of combat weapons, and the integration and innovation of various tactics and tactics.
Firearms are growing, tactics are improving, the army is getting stronger, and the types of arms are being refined. However, the Tatars, as always, have always maintained the most traditional tactics.
The cavalry seems to have never grown, or in other words, the cavalry's tactics and the Tatars' own situation simply do not have the conditions for further growth.
The defeat of the Tatars was the result of the growth of the Ming army, the victory of the endless emergence of firearms, and the victory of the Ming soldiers who crossed the vast sea and fought for the country without fear of fatigue, sacrifice, or powerful enemies!
The era has been broken. The war dominated by cold weapons was marked by the destruction of the main Tatar force. It was completely swept into a backward corner and could only be covered by the dust of history.
A new era has begun, and firearms will become the protagonist of war and the standard equipment of Ming Dynasty's foreign wars.
Zhu Di knew clearly that Zhu Yunwen's time had come. It was time for him to control all directions and dominate the world!
The defeat of the Tatars made the Ming Dynasty famous.
From then on, in the grassland, at least for now, no one in Eastern Mongolia will be able to threaten the Ming Dynasty or dare to threaten the Ming Dynasty!
"Benya is lost, Arutai!"
Zhu Di looked at his captives arrogantly and shouted righteously: "How can you and the Hulu resist the Ming Dynasty's army? Such a gathering of 80,000 troops is just a moth flying into the flame. Now that we have completely lost, we still can't resist it." Have something to say?"
