On such a confined terrain, on a long and narrow road, the might of the cavalry could not be exerted at all.

The Ming army only needs to face the frontal impact of more than a dozen cavalry at the same time, as long as the military formation is set up, the impact power of the cavalry is greatly limited, and it is not as real as the infantry battle.

However, the dismounted infantry battle had to face the Ming army's rather intensive musket and crossbow shooting, especially those muskets that were once extremely despised by the steppe people, but now they are so accurate and powerful, and it is very common to break the arms and thighs with one shot.

Unlike arrow wounds, as long as the arrow wound does not hit the vital point, the arrow is taken out, unless it is poisonous, it will generally not die, but the gunshot wound is different, even if the bullets on the legs, arms and chest of those soldiers are out, but the blood from the wound cannot be stopped at all, and it will not take a few hours to bleed to death.

Gunshot wounds are currently helpless injuries of the grassland people, as long as they are hit, they are basically equivalent to death, unless the injured limbs are cut off, but the grassland people have to live by their strong bodies, and the limbs are injured and they cannot ride horses or fight, what is the meaning of survival?

Although only a few hundred people have died in the breakout battle in the past few days, more than 1,000 people have really lost their combat effectiveness, and the number of Ming troops is increasing, but he is short of food and clothing here, and if he continues like this, he will lose all his combat effectiveness.

After looking for a long time, Liu Xi couldn't find it, and Tuo Lik began to regain his senses little by little, and people around him kept telling him that the Han man was a very cunning Han man, and he must have ulterior motives to trick us into this place.

So he began to suspect that every step he took along the way was designed, from the capture of Taiyuan to the escape to the south, it was basically Liu Xi who did it, and Liu Xi disappeared now, leaving himself in the hot spring town, which was blocked by the Ming army, and the terrain and roads had super restrictions on the cavalry, what does this mean?

Scammed.

I was used as a gun.

What is the specific purpose, Pull Lik doesn't know, but he just has this intuition - he thought he was using Liu Xi, but in the end, it seemed that he was the one who was used, and he used the 50,000 cavalry in his hand to penetrate Datong and Shanxi, and got a huge amount of wealth, but at the same time!

Of the 50,000 cavalry, only 10,000 remained, and all the rest were killed by the Ming army.

He was horrified.

While he continues to win and wealth, he has been stepping towards a dead end, Liu Xi seems to have set up this dead end for himself from the very beginning, allowing himself to fall into it little by little, but he didn't realize it, and when he realized it, he had been surrounded by tens of thousands of Ming troops in this place.

Already in a dead end!

I have become a very sad person, a very sad dying person!

The scent wafting from all over the town seemed to mock him, and as he breathed in the alluring aroma, he could feel the anger rising in his heart, as if it was about to consume his whole being.

The Ming army is demonstrating their strength and adequate supplies in this way, demonstrating to him in this way, telling him that they still have great strength, and they can't even get a full meal for their subordinate soldiers here, and their morale will be severely damaged.

Although he can't turn his head, he still has the most basic common sense of war.

Right now, he could even think of how his subordinates were shaken and frustrated, and how weak they were in battle, while the Ming army on the opposite side was as imposing as a rainbow and how brave and good at fighting defeated his soldiers in one fell swoop.

The contrast between strength and weakness for many years has been reversed in an instant, and it may have started with such a meal in the army.

This subtle contrast is terrifying to Pullik.

He began to realize that if he didn't make some decisions, he and his warriors would be paying with their lives here.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is a simple and ancient concept of jurisprudence, in the nomadic tribes without written law, this is the truth, Pullik knows that if he falls into the hands of the Han people, it will never end well, with the Ming government's bitter hatred of the nomadic tribes and the slightest uncompromising attitude, he will definitely die.

Rather than die of despair after losing combat effectiveness and the will to fight, it is better to fight to the death while there is still strength, and maybe there will be a glimmer of life.

Rick decided to fight to the death, fight for luck, at least not just die.

At present, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to himself, so he immediately made a decision and called all his cronies.

"Kill all the wounded, the weaker, and the less powerful horses, leaving only the strong enough horses for the strong enough soldiers to ride, and all the wounded, sick, and emaciated soldiers abandoned, and leave them alone, we will break through with only the most elite warriors! Just take the road to the north and fight all the way back! ”

Pullik made the most cruel, ruthless, and helpless decision.

The generals of the cronies, you look at me, I look at you, all of them showed puzzled and hesitant looks.

"King, has it really come to this point?"

A subordinate general asked cautiously.

"If it hadn't come to this point, would this king have given such an order? Those warriors are also the king's people! None of them died! If it weren't for this point, how could this king be willing to give such an order!? ”

Pullik showed a sad look: "If we don't do this, we will all die here, all of us, including me, none of us will survive, we will definitely be killed by the Han people, we can only ride the strongest horses, with the strongest warriors to fight out of the siege, otherwise, we will not even have a chance to live." ”

The leaders and generals all showed sad looks.

This kind of thing is not a very rare thing for the people of the steppe, and the tradition of the rich and the old on the steppe is deep-rooted, which is the tradition caused by the grassland and its scarce means of production, and it is a tragedy that the fragile nomadic economy cannot solve.

Only the strongest can survive, rather than supporting the old as wealth, as the Han people do.

This is a kind of helplessness to survive, which has shaped the fierce character of the grassland people, and now, it will also give them the courage and faith to fight against the water, and they will uphold this belief to fight all the way, break out of the encirclement, return to their hometown, and start again.

The last thing they lack is the courage to start from scratch.

So the leaders turned around and left, and began a cruel screening according to the requirements of Pullik, which was an extremely cruel thing for them, but it was also something that had to be done, someone would be abandoned, and they would die miserably here, but the fire would be preserved, this was their choice.
