Chapter 301 Turbulence

Many people admire Temujin for his ability to dominate the world and marvel at his unprecedented breadth of territory. However, how many people know that most of the so-called territory across the continent is only in name?

Not to mention the vast and sparsely populated grasslands, the vast western Europe separated by vast deserts, and the frosty and windy Far North, even the land of China, the Tatars have not truly completed their rule.

In the Yuan Dynasty, ever since they took control of the Central Plains, rebellions have continued without end.

The Tatars have never created glory on this land. Instead, they have been fighting non-stop for nearly a hundred years. The rebel armies emerged one after another and killed them all.

The reason for this is not that the Tatars were not strong enough at the time, but that the Tatar system was loose and backward.

Temujin trampled on a place with his iron hoof, and then divided it among his descendants and brothers. He pointed at the land and said: This is yours. And then it's over.

Once Temujin died, his brothers and descendants basically stopped following the so-called Great Yuan Dynasty and went their own way and attacked each other.

They have never truly surrendered to each other.

The sages have said that the barbarians are afraid of power but not virtuous. This is true. If this is true internally, let alone the Han people?

Regardless of Horqin's considerable power, Wu Keshan summoned 60,000 soldiers and horses with just one order. However, in fact, of the 60,000 soldiers and horses, only 30,000 came from the tribes directly under the Wu Keshan brothers. The other 30,000 were a miscellaneous army composed of other tribes, large and small.

Such a miscellaneous army, when the wind was favorable, obeyed Wu Keshan and attacked wherever he was told. Once they encounter adversity, everyone has their own thoughts - why should people from our tribe die for you Wu Keshan? Don't do it!

Two charges were defeated, and 14,000 soldiers and horses were lost, most of them from these miscellaneous tribes. How can they bear this?

So he quit.

Wu Keshan ordered to continue charging into the formation, but the leaders of these tribes began to hesitate. No matter how much Chahan and the other two people urged them, they could only hesitate.

And how could Wu Keshan not know what these leaders were thinking? He is also a decisive person, knowing that if he does not show sincerity, these small and medium-sized tribes will definitely not listen to his orders again.

So he immediately mobilized 10,000 cavalry from the formation and took the lead in charging into the formation.

Seeing this, the other leaders had no choice but to follow suit.

Sonomu and the others had returned to their own formation, and Wu Keshan said to them: "With this kind of fight, you and I have no choice but to retreat. This is not only an insult to Genghis Khan, but will also make us lose our qualifications to gain a foothold."

He stared closely at the battlefield and said word by word: "The grassland is ours. If we cannot defeat the enemy, the grassland will no longer be ours! The Han people are our enemies. They have a large population, tens of thousands." Tens of thousands! But in front of us, there are only more than 10,000 people. If we can’t defeat even these 10,000 people, what qualifications do we have to stand on this land left by Genghis Khan?"

Having said this, Wu Keshan took a deep breath: "I have read Han history books and understand the history of the grasslands. Whenever the Han dynasty flourishes, we grassland people will be unlucky. And the enemy we face now , is such a strange enemy that is about to flourish. They have just risen and have not yet reached their peak. If we cannot even defeat them, what will we do to resist them when they reach their peak?"

He spoke earnestly and thoughtfully: "Dorgon used half of the capital as a temptation, and I was moved. But that was not the main reason why I attacked with all my strength. Because I knew that Dorgon and I had the same thoughts and ideas. He was also afraid, so As scared as I am now!"

He pointed the riding crop at the battlefield: "Now, my brothers and sons, go defeat them and kill them. Genghis Khan is watching us in the Heaven of Immortality, don't let our ancestors down!"

...

"How long until the artillery array can be set up?!"

Qian Yue felt the heat flowing continuously in his body, and his face glowed red.

Feedback on military achievements is timely. When Ying Yi set up the Humanity Ranking Feedback, he distinguished the military from the non-military. Non-military personnel will be given feedback based on their merits determined by the month. For the military, it is timely feedback. When you kill an enemy, you get a feedback.

As long as there are enemies to kill, Ying Yi's army will hardly fail!

Qian Yue has already seen the situation. He previously thought that the Tatars would choose to retreat after losing two battles and suffering huge losses, but now it seems that they are going to fight to the death.

The artillery array is extremely important. The formation of the artillery array can interrupt the Tatar charge before it reaches its peak. This reduces the intensity of the charge and reduces the possibility of the circular formation being broken through.

"There's still half a cup of tea left!"

The general replied loudly.

Qian Yue sent an order: "As many as the forts are raised, the number of cannons will be arrayed. Fight while building bases, don't delay!"

At this time, in all directions, amid the smoke and blood, the Tatar cavalry was like a tsunami, coming again and again, clearly launching a general attack.

Qian Yue took a deep breath and looked at the distance. He saw that his three thousand cavalry were entangled with the Tatar cavalry. He didn't know how long it would take to determine the winner.

Looking at the Tatars' main formation, there are only about 5,000 people left under the banner. If the cavalry can quickly defeat the Tatar blocking cavalry, they can rush into their own formation, kill their leader, and settle the matter in one fell swoop!

"Artillery battalions prepare!"

"Load!"

"Load it!"

A gong sounded and the sound of cannons shook the sky.

A fiery cannon shot through the air, flew a thousand steps away with a long tail, and instantly crashed into the Tatar cavalry. In the blink of an eye, it knocked one man into two pieces, followed by a trail of blood, and jumped to the ground. The horses were smashed and their legs were broken, and their limbs were mutilated.

"Distribute the formation! Distribute the formation!"

On the vast battlefield, the Tatars quickly dispersed with their superb riding skills. The second round of artillery damage was significantly reduced.

But even so, by the time the Tatars charged two hundred paces and the artillery array stopped, they had lost more than a thousand people!

Solid bullets are more deterrent than lethal. Furthermore, the ground on the grassland is soft, and the cannon can only bounce up once after it lands.

What really caused huge damage to the Tatars was the gun array.

The three-stage shooting was non-stop, and the gunmen, under the cover of the spearmen, shot out circles of smoke. At the eightyth step, when the Tatars began to fire arrows to fight back, countless people had already fallen to the fire of the muskets.

The tidal wave of Tatars suppressed their panic and stepped over the corpses of their tribesmen, crashing into the infantry gun array. After having no success, they sacrificed a certain amount of casualties under the gun formation and then rowed to both sides, while the cavalry behind continued to charge.

Wave after wave followed, causing the infantry formation to undulate like a spring.

Qian Yue was extremely calm, commanding the replacement of soldiers and sending the wounded and wounded soldiers to the center of the circle for treatment. Even with the extremely strong gold-yuan alloy armor protection, casualties were still inevitable under the crazy attack of the Tatars.

Fortunately, there were not many casualties. Most of them were numbness in the muscles and bones caused by the impact of the war horses and temporary loss of strength. With constant feedback on their military exploits, these soldiers will soon be able to return to the battlefield.

But it is inevitable that some unlucky people will be hit in the eyes by arrows or swords. This is the only flaw that can't be fixed.
