Chapter 1187: The First World War Determines the Monarch and the Ministers (I)
Xu Jin originally wanted to solve the problem peacefully, but the Warat people were shameless, and they actually killed the messenger Pi Eleven, tore up their own handwritten letters, and tried to destroy Xie Sangun and Yisana, the lone army, since this is the case, then let's fight, although the Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to annex Tatar and Warat at the same time for the time being, it is more than enough to beat it hard, and even sweeping the entire Warat is not a problem at all.
The person who killed Ben Shuai, slapped Ben Shuai in the face, and wanted to talk about peace, do you really think that Ben Shuai is muddy? Be prepared to pay a heavy price, Warat, and beat it up before we talk about anything else!
Whoever commits a crime against me will be punished even if he is far away!!
Xu Dashuai did what he said, and early the next morning, the 120,000 army set up camp and drove murderously to the location of the Huite tribe. After Weng Guochu received the report that the Ming army was really attacking in a big way, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, and hurriedly ordered to prepare for the battle, and at the same time sent fast horses to Qiuros, urging reinforcements to hurry up to support.
On the third day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Jiajing, in the afternoon, the 120,000 Ming army finally drove to the front of the Huite Department and stationed down five miles away, and then the army slowly pressed up, hundreds of artillery pieces were pushed to the front of the formation, and the oilcloth covering it was lifted, immediately revealing rows of hideous muzzles, and the dark cannon body exuded a chilling breath in the sun.
Weng Guochu and Godsmond were riding on horseback with scimitars in their hands, looking at the Ming army advancing slowly like a tide on the opposite side, as well as the dense muzzles and guns, they couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps, and the 80,000 varat soldiers under their command were slightly agitated, and their eyes showed a trace of fear.
At this moment, I was also present, under the protection of five hundred soldiers, he stared at the handsome flag with the word "Xu" on the opposite side, his eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness, and deep in his pupils, there was clearly a fear from the heart.
I replied to unify the entire Eastern Mongolia, and even surrounded the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he is undoubtedly a hero, compared to Dayan Khan, it is not an exaggeration, but it is a pity that he was born at the wrong time, met the more demonic Xu Jin, and even suffered a big defeat under Xu Jin's hands, and almost lost all his underwear, so at this time, he already had a fear of "Xu", and he wanted to unload Xu Jin into eight pieces, but as soon as he saw the "Xu" word handsome flag, he couldn't stop wanting to escape.
And at this moment, I want to run again, and he is ready to run at any time, once the Warat army is defeated, he will run as fast as possible, he has a lot of experience!
The two armies confronted each other, the battle clouds were thick, and the big battle was about to break out, Weng Guochu's heart seemed to be pressing on a mountain, and he hesitated to send someone to the front of the battle to communicate with the Ming army, but he was worried that he would be humiliated and humiliated in front of the three armies, which would affect the morale of the three armies, after all, the messenger sent yesterday had his ears cut off.
Compared with the Wara army, the soldiers of the Ming army on the opposite side are in high spirits, and their morale is not high, one by one they hold their chests high, and they are all holding back a force to carve the stone, Yanran Mountain is hundreds of miles behind the Wara army.
At this time, the Ming army was in an absolute advantage in terms of equipment and troops, and the people responsible for leading the troops were all experienced generals, and the soldiers had just passed the baptism of the Battle of Tatar, and it was the morale that was as high as a rainbow.
"Attack!" As soon as Xu Jin gave an order, the Shenji Battalion, the 3,000 Battalion, and the cavalry of the border army, totaling nearly 40,000 cavalry, rushed out and rushed towards the opposite Wara army.
In Tatar, Xu Jin took a defensive position every time he fought, giving full play to the advantages of guns and artillery, and it was the first time that he sent cavalry to take the initiative to attack at the beginning of this battle.
I couldn't help but be secretly happy when I saw this, and my eyes showed a look of hope, although the combat power of the Warat cavalry was slightly inferior to that of the Tatar cavalry, but after all, it was also a nation on horseback, and the cavalry and archery kung fu were naturally stronger than the cavalry of the Ming army.
Weng Guo Chu saw that the Ming army actually took the initiative to attack with cavalry, and he was overjoyed, he was afraid of the guns of the Ming army, not the cavalry of the Ming army.
In that case, then Ben Khan is welcome!
Weng Guochu gave an order, and the 40,000 cavalry under his command went out of the battle and rushed towards the opposing Ming army!
Rumble ......
Eighty thousand cavalry galloped at the same time, the sound of hooves shook the ground, the rolling yellow clouds rose into the sky, and the sky was dark!
I replied to hold my breath, hold back the excitement in my heart, and stare at the battlefield, hehe, Xu Jin was dizzy, and he actually gave up the advantage of guns and cannons, and used cavalry against cavalry, and as soon as the cavalry of the Ming army was defeated, the remaining infantry would not be troubled.
However, both I and Weng Guochu miscalculated, Xu Jin has experienced a hundred battles, how could he make such a low-level mistake!
Seeing that the cavalry of the two armies was still about to meet each other for a hundred meters, the two hundred Franc machine guns and two hundred bowl cannons in front of the Ming army suddenly roared at the same time.
Tsk, this wave of artillery bombardment can only be used to destroy the world, the cannonballs are as dense as raindrops, and they accurately fall into the charging Warat cavalry formation!
Boom Boom Boom ......
A stream of sales smoke rose into the air, and the 40,000 Wirat troops in the charge were blown up, shattered, and suffered heavy casualties!
This wave of indiscriminate bombardment frightened Weng Guochu and Godsman almost rolled off their horses, and my face changed miserably, and he suddenly woke up, the artillery array of the Ming army this time was not the same as before, in the past, the artillery array of the Ming army was placed at the back of the army, but this time it was pushed to the front, obviously to shorten the range!
That's right, Xu Jin deliberately pushed the artillery array to the front this time, just to shorten the firing range!
Originally, the cannon is a heavy weapon in the army, in order to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy, it must not be exposed to the front line in the field, and it will generally be placed in the middle and rear of the army, so that it can not only maximize the power of the cannon, but also avoid easily falling into the hands of the enemy.
However, as the saying goes: soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and the magic of use lies in one mind. A nimble-minded general will not be so brainless when using troops, Xu Jin did the opposite this time and took the initiative to attack with cavalry, so he deliberately pushed the artillery array to the front, the purpose was to shorten the range and cover a wave of cavalry, but it was only a wave, because once the two armies began to engage in short combat, they could no longer fire artillery, and they would hurt their own people.
However, Xu Jin was very confident in the combat power of his cavalry, and the artillery only needed to assist one wave to disrupt the position of the Warat soldiers, and victory would be within reach!
Sure enough, although the Ming army's fierce artillery bombardment only killed and wounded more than 2,000 Warat cavalry, it also frightened them into fear and disorder. At this time, the speed of the Ming cavalry did not decrease at all, and they rushed through the smoke and dust in the sky, and the flintlock pistol was raised and fired!
Bang bang bang......
In the dense gunfire, those Wara cavalry screamed and fell off their horses, killing and wounding countless people, and the Ming cavalry who finished shooting hung their guns and took their knives, slammed into them, and fought hard to kill with their knives.
The most ferocious is naturally the Shenji Battalion, like an invincible sharp knife sweeping through tofu, driving straight forward, directly chiseling through the oncoming Warat cavalry camp, and then non-stop, directly slashing towards Weng Guochu and Godsmond's Khan banner.
Weng Guochu and Godmont were so frightened that they hurriedly mobilized heavy troops to resist, which stopped the Shenji battalion, but at this time, more Ming troops broke over, so the two sides fell into a melee.
Xu Jin wants this effect, as long as the opponent's cavalry is restrained and makes it lose its mobility, it will be the world of infantry!
So, Xu Jin gave an order, the fourth axe was used, and the 70,000 foot soldiers of the Ming army were pushed up, and the sword and shield men advanced in front with the pikemen, and the musketeers and archers followed closely.
Now, the Wara army finally tasted what is called the catastrophe of annihilation, the Ming army's foot soldiers marched forward with the pace of death, and the place where they passed was like a comb combing, the Wara cavalry was either killed by the spear of the dense turn, or was killed by the bullets of the musketeers, and wanted to counterattack and break through the military form of the Ming army's infantry, but there was no room to lift the horse speed, even if the speed could be raised, it was simply whimsical to break through the Ming army's overwhelming formation!
Therefore, the Wara cavalry could only turn their horses' heads and flee to their own camp, but the Ming army also had cavalry, and they took the opportunity to bite the chase behind and chop melons and vegetables.
As a result, the cavalry of the Ming army rushed in front to open the way, and the infantry formation followed behind and pushed forward unhurriedly.
"Hehe, the combat power of the Warat army is weaker than that of the Tatars, and it is vulnerable!" The pro-soldier Zhao Datou pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, the overall situation was settled, he waved his hand lightly, and the 10,000 troops who stayed in the center to suppress the formation also stepped forward and joined the siege of the Warat army.
Cen Lan also led three thousand wolf soldiers up, after all, the battle exploits at your fingertips, don't be in vain, however, Xue Bingxin did not go into battle, compared to the battle exploits, she cared more about Xu Jin's safety, in fact, as soon as the battle started, she was inseparable from Xu Jin's side.
The battle only lasted for half an hour, the Warat army finally collapsed completely, Weng Guochu and Godsmond led the remnants of the army to flee, the cavalry of the Ming army chased after the relentless, and the infantry of the Ming army scattered the formation, under the leadership of their respective officers, they went around to kill the stragglers, completely occupied the entire Huite tribe, all the cattle, sheep and livestock were collected, and the yurts were all burned to ashes, and the Wara Huite Department was declared annihilated from then on, which was the price of killing the Ming envoy.
Let's say that Weng Guochu and Godsmond led more than 10,000 remnants of soldiers to the west and fled for more than 200 miles, but the Ming army behind them was still chasing after them, and the two couldn't help but cry bitterly, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to flee west!
As the sun sets, the shadow of the mountains comes, and you can already see the layers of mountains in front of you, which is where the Hangai Mountain Range is located, that is, Yanran Mountain!
The war horse under the crotch was snorting and panting, Weng Guochu looked at the blood-red sunset that had been picked on the top of the mountain, and looked back at the billowing dust behind him, and couldn't help but feel a kind of tragedy at the end of the road, the Ming army was too much, and they wanted to kill themselves!
If there is a regret medicine in this world, Weng Guochu is willing to spend all his savings to replace one, and so is Godmon, he regrets it so much that his intestines are blue at the moment, if he didn't give me the answer to the Ming army in order to fight for his breath at the beginning, why did he end up at this point?
As soon as he thought of his answer, Godsmond realized that he was not by his side, and hurriedly looked around, but there was still no trace of him, and he shouted and asked, "Where did I answer, where did I go?" ”
A personal soldier next to him said weakly: "My subordinates seem to have seen him run away from the fork in the road just now." ”
Godsman and Weng Guochu couldn't help but change their faces greatly, if I was still in my hand, maybe I could hand it over to the Ming army to beg for my life, but now that I have run away, I am afraid that the two of them will really have only one way to die.
"Bastard, why didn't you say it sooner!" Godmun raised his hand and slapped his soldier with a big ear scraper.
This personal soldier covered his face and didn't dare to make a sound, his heart was full of grievances, everyone lost their armor in order to escape for their lives, and I don't know how many generals fled along the way, who can care if I answer and run away!
Weng Guochu grabbed the collar of the pro-soldier and asked sharply, "I ran in that direction?" ”
The soldier covered his red and swollen cheeks and pointed to the south, and Weng Guo Chu said fiercely: "I answer this bastard, you run very fast, chase!" ”
Weng Guochu and Gomons turned their horses' heads and hurried south!
