Chapter 302 Great Victory

Wu Keshan was a little overwhelmed by this battle. His cavalry still had many tactics that he had not yet used. In fact, it's not that I don't want to use it, but that I can't.

On the battle formation, there was no room for display.

Because Ying Yi's army can reach as far as 200 steps with fire guns. Far surpassing the decadent army of the previous Ming Dynasty.

When fighting against the former Ming Dynasty, the Tatars could reach a hundred steps without any hindrance. Facing the previous Ming army, their bows and arrows were more lethal than the Ming army's firearms.

Although the Tatars' tactics have lagged behind, they have finally learned something since they surrendered to the Eastern captives. For example, the Tatars also have fire muskets, although they are very few.

Because the morale of the Ming army was weak, they rushed into battle like a frightened bird when facing the enemy. When the Donglu were 200 steps away, they fired two rounds of empty cannons. The Ming army could not hold back and fired out the fire cannons at once, but all of them were empty.

Donglu could take the opportunity to rush in and cover it with arrows, causing heavy damage to the Ming army.

The Tatars also learned this trick, but it was completely useless against Ying Yi's army. Ying Yi's army has strict military discipline. When it is time to fire a gun, it must obey orders. What's more, Ying Yi's blunderbuss was as far as 200 steps away, and the Tatars had already eaten the real blunderbuss before they could use it.

The Ming army's old fire cannons had a killing range of within a hundred steps, while Ying Yi's army could reach as far as two hundred steps. The Ming army can move a hundred steps, and the Tatars can quickly fire back arrows while the Ming army fires cannons. If Ying Yi's army takes 200 steps, he will have to withstand at least three rounds of gunfire and cross the distance of 100 steps before he can retaliate.

The shooting range is short, and then use the virtual blunderbuss to draw out the Ming army's blunderbuss. When they get close, they will first cover it with arrows, and then charge into the formation. When the soldiers are in close combat, they can also use the iron hook to overturn the heavy shields of the Ming army infantry and directly tear open the defense line. , and then rushed in smoothly.

But these moves are completely useless when facing Ying Yijun.

Not to mention that the Tatars who rushed in front with iron hooks had been killed by several rounds of fire cannons. They rushed forward. Ying Yi's army also had no shields. The new fire cannons were fired frequently, and they had no chance at all. .

Impact after impact, like waves, in the end they are like fish washed up on the beach, only to die.

When the Xia army cavalry defeated two groups of 10,000 Tatar cavalry and chased the remaining soldiers towards their main formation, the Tatars finally collapsed!

In the surrounding fields, the Tatar cavalry were wailing and shouting, running like wolves and dolphins. Like that headless fly, running around and going crazy.

How could Qian Yue give up such an opportunity? !

The sound of drums was loud, and groups of soldiers were quickly pulled out from the circular formation, and each battalion was used as a unit to pursue them in all directions.

A group of musketeers accompanied the Tatars. They fired their muskets first, scattered them, and then chased after them. They drew their daggers and chopped off their heads.

A group of spearmen rushed forward, surrounded a group of Tatars, and quickly killed them all with spears.

The sound of gunfire has stopped, but the smoke is still filling the air. In the choking smoke, heads rolled and blood flowed like rivers.

"It's down! It's down!"

How many Tatars were so frightened by the killing that they abandoned their horses and knelt down, holding their heads in their hands, and begged to surrender. It’s everywhere, as far as the eye can see!

Sono Mulang ran away, leaving only a dozen soldiers beside him. He was targeted by a group of musketeers, and his head was finally smashed by a musket.

Bil Tahar rushed to the Tatar formation covered in blood. He lost an arm, his eyes were dancing with snow, and his face was full of panic.

"Father! Let's go! Let's go!"

Wu Keshan was already confused.

He watched the tribesmen in Manye being killed one by one by the Han people like pigs and sheep. Their heads were cut off, and his heart felt like an arrow was shot, and his horse was teetering on the ground.

The remaining 5,000 cavalrymen in his formation were already in panic and commotion. Seeing Bi'er Tahar like this, some people even ignored him and just ran away.

Not far away, nearly three thousand Han cavalry surged forward, shouting: "Don't leave Wu Keshan!"

"Capture Wu Keshan!"

"Under the banner is Wu Keshan, kill him!"

"Catch all the Tatars in one fell swoop!"

Wu Keshan gave a fierce jerk, turned around and ran away.

On the seventh day of the eighth month of the first year of King Xia, Qian Yue's tribe defeated Horqin with a small number at Xuanshipo. They killed Sonomu, Manzhu Xili and other Tatar leaders by ten counts, beheaded 21,000 people, captured 23,000 Tatars, 18,000 horses, and more than 80,000 cattle and sheep.

"Quickly clean the battlefield, collect the captured items, and count the prisoners."

Qian Yue stood majestically with his sword in hand, and the black cloak behind his back said loudly: "We will win the Great Wall if we don't take it back at night. We will send the slave labor camp and the rear caravan to hand over the supplies!"

"Here!"

Qian Yue nodded and turned eastward: "Take a rest for a day and send troops to march eastward!"

...

"...Hidden dangers on the grassland will be dealt with by Zheng Jiu's troops in the Northwest War Zone." Ying Yi said: "My request to Qian Yue is to defeat the Horqin tribes as soon as possible, turn east, bypass Guan Ning, and attack Jinzhou directly , to cut off the return path of the slaves."

Standing on the top of the city of Shanhaiguan, Ying Yi looked at the densely packed enemy horses and trenches below the city, and said calmly to the generals around him: "The six thousand soldiers and horses in front of the garrison are just a cover. These six thousand soldiers and horses cannot really cut off the Tatars' attack." Qian Yue is the last line of defense."

The former garrison called this a pretense, a smoke screen to dispel the Tatars' vigilance.

Wherever the former garrison guards are posted, the Tatars place their vigilance. And with only 6,000 people, the Tatars would not find it impossible to defeat them.

By the time Qian Yue captured Jinzhou and cut off the Tatars' retreat, it was too late for the Tatars to come to their senses.

"Fighting against the Tatars means killing Dorgon and the little slave chieftain Fulin. It doesn't matter to me. My goal is to do my best to kill the effective forces of the Tatars. The Tatars Our tribe has a population of only one million, ten men can support one soldier, and the elite soldiers are no more than one hundred thousand. As long as the Tatars' elite soldiers are wiped out, the situation that the Tatars have worked hard to create for decades will collapse in an instant."

The Tatars have no elite soldiers of their own, whether they are the Han Eight Banners, the Tatars, or the Koreans, who will listen to the Tatars? Every bite is light!

"Therefore, in this battle, the traitor soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, the Tatars and the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Koreans are insignificant. The Tatar troops and horses of the Sanshan Camp are the main targets."

Regarding Jiannu, Ying Yi had long seen their true nature. The power of establishing slaves, like burning oil, was based on the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of their own clan. To subjugate the Tatars, surrender the traitors, and squeeze North Korea, as long as the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of Jiannu are annihilated, without even a word of victory, Jiannu will be exterminated in a year and a half at most!

The Tatars marry Jiannu, but once Jiannu loses power, the Tatars cannot be suppressed. With their barbaric nature, will they let Jiannu go?

The traitors of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty charged into battle and sacrificed their lives for the sake of establishing slaves. But they have been oppressed by Jiannu for a long time. Once Jiannu loses his power, they will definitely be the first wolf to jump out and bite back.

North Koreans can be ignored.

"Just one word right now, wait." Ying Yi said: "Wait for news from Qian Yue. Once Qian Yue captures Jinzhou, he will immediately send troops to attack Sanshan Camp."
