Xiao Gongchen's sleigh rushed to the first, according to his judgment, the vigilance of such a large tribe should be relatively high, and the camp tent can already be seen in the snowy night, and then the sentinels of the Horqin people will definitely send out an alarm signal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although this tribe is a large tribe with more than 5,000 people, there are only more than 1,000 young people, Xiao Gongchen does not plan to use the method of long-range sniper harassment warfare to consume, but to use the traditional rapid charge, one-time solution, even if this tribe can not be wiped out from the grassland, it can kill all the young people here, let this tribe be scrapped, this method is the fastest.

According to Xiao Gongchen's battle plan, when the final attack on the Zasak tribe of the central banner of the Horqin left wing where Prince Darhan and the tower are located, he will adopt the method of sniping with rifled guns at a distance and shelling at night to constantly weaken the opponent. The other tribes were conquered in one fell swoop.

"Two miles to go! Start accelerating! Xiao Gongchen asked his soldiers to light the torches to send a signal.

The soldiers lit the torches, raised them above their heads and shook them a few times. The sleds behind saw the torch signal and lit the torches one after another. All the sleds lit torches, and hundreds of torches gathered into a long line of fire and rushed towards the Mongol tribes.

"Someone's coming?" A Mongolian soldier stepped out of a tent and screamed when he saw the fire dragon rushing towards him.

The musketeer next to Xiao Gongchen picked up his rifled gun, aimed at the Mongolian soldier and pulled the trigger.

The "bang" rifled gun erupted in flames, and before the Mongolian soldier could retract into the yurt, he was shot in the head and fell to the ground.

"Fire!" Xiao Gongchen roared.

The sleigh stopped moving, and the cannons on the car "boomed" and spewed fire, and rows of shells smashed into the yurt. In an instant, the skeleton of the yurt that had been shot broke off, lost its support, and was blown by the wind and fell to the ground one after another.

The gunners opened the back cover of the cannon, hooked out the sub-gun that had finished the ammunition, and then stuffed a new sub-gun into the gun chamber, then closed the back cover, lit the fuse, and the sub-gun spewed fire again.

The sub-mother cannon is an upgraded version of the Franc cannon, both the material and the sealing have been improved a lot, this cannon has a similar rate of fire as the Franc machine, but the weight is lighter, and the power is greater.

Several rounds of shelling destroyed hundreds of yurts.

The shells smashed into the yurts, and many people were killed by the shells in their sleep without even having a chance to escape.

One after another, sleighs sped past the edge of the yurt like a whirlwind, and the Ming soldiers on the cars threw torches one after another. Swirling torches fall on the yurt and ignite a raging fire.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The people of Korqin woke up from their slumber and shouted. There were many people who tried to rush into other people's yurts to wake up their companions, and there were also people who had just rushed out of the yurt and fell to the sound of musket fire.

The Ming army's sleigh rushed past the burning yurt, and the thunderbolt and the double-barreled sled shot sounded one after another, and the short guns that shot at close range hardly needed to be aimed, and the Mongolian young men who rushed out sprayed blood mist one after another, were beaten into a hornet's nest, and fell on the edge of the burning yurt.

"Go lead the horse!" One of the Mongols shouted.

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Gongchen's sleigh had already passed by him, and the galloping Don hippopotamus knocked the Mongol out of the way, and then the horse's hooves trampled over the Mongol. At the same time, Xiao Gongchen waved the spear in his hand, and with one shot, he picked up a Mongolian who had just rushed out of the yurt.

"The sweat tent is over there! Follow me! Xiao Gongchen suddenly found the largest tent in front of him.

This kind of big tribe has a khan tent, although this tribe does not have a big khan like Prince Durhan and Ta, but there are still small khans of local tribes, which are also the targets of the Ming army. Xiao Gongchen didn't want to completely wipe this tribe off the map at once, but he wanted to kill all the young and important targets of this tribe no matter what he said.

As long as the young and strong of this tribe are killed and the important leaders are killed, the remaining women, children, old and weak will be swallowed up by other tribes sooner or later.

Hearing the sound of gunfire and shouts outside, Aiyan immediately removed his bow and arrows from the wall and prepared to walk out of the tent.

"Dad, there are a lot of enemies outside, don't go out and die!" Ayan's son, Habqik, pleaded bitterly.

"Humph!" Ai Yan snorted coldly, "You brute, you are not a hero of the grassland at all!" Back then, you Lao Tzu followed Tiancong Khan into the customs, and you Lao Tzu killed dozens of Ming dogs alone! How can there be such a useless son as you today! With that, Aiyan ignored his son and walked straight out of the tent.

As soon as Ayan stepped out of his tent, two galloping Don hippos galloped past him, raising snowflakes all over the ground. With the help of the reflection of the snow and the shouts of the attackers, he recognized that it was the Ming army.

"Damn the barbarian!" Aiyan drew his bow and shot an arrow.

The arrow "Whoosh" shot at Xiao Gongchen, but he bent down to dodge, and the arrow swept over his head.

In fact, it was also Ai Yan's old age and weakness, the strength and accuracy of this arrow were not high, and the arrows shot were soft and lacklush. When he saw that an arrow missed, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and when he was about to shoot again, a sleigh cart came galloping from behind, and the Ming army on the car waved his long-handled broadsword and cut off Ai Yan's head.

In the snow, a cold light flashed, and a long-handled broadsword swept past Aiyan's neck.

The blood sword spurted and splattered in an arc onto the yurt behind Aiyan, leaving his body and rolling to the ground, the headless body slowly falling. Behind it, another sleigh sped past and ran over the corpse.

Several Mongol soldiers rushed out of the tent and tried to stop the Ming army. However, without horseback, the Mongols who were temporarily facing the battle could not even form a foot battle formation, and how could they stop the sleigh that rushed over.

The weight of the horses plus the weight of the sled and the weight of the soldiers on the car, a sleigh weighs more than 2,000 catties, and it is impossible to resist being hit by something so heavy at high speed. Several of the Mongol soldiers who broke out of the tent were either knocked out, had their heads cut off with broadswords, or were stabbed to death with spears.

In the sweat tent, the little khan of the tribe came out of the tent, and as soon as he stepped out of the tent, he saw the crowd of black and oppressive horses coming towards him. The Khan was so frightened that he no longer hesitated, turned and ran towards the stable, trying to flee on horseback. But the sleigh came very fast, and before the khan could escape to the edge of the stall, he was struck by a war horse.

The little khan flew up like a piece of paper in the snowstorm, and before it landed on the ground, the spear in Xiao Gongchen's hand had already stabbed over and picked him on the tip of the spear.

The sled carts behind rushed past the tribe one after another, and the Ming soldiers who had finished shooting the bullets used spears and broadswords to kill the Mongols.

The tribe had long been in chaos, and the Ming army, which was rushing back and forth, met with almost no effective resistance. The panicked Mongols were drowned by the Ming army that poured in like a flood, and all kinds of strange corpses lay on the snow.

Even the sub-cannon sled carts, which fired cannonballs, joined the charge formation. The heavy ramming force of the gun carriage is a powerful weapon in itself, and with the double-barreled short gun equipped by the gunner, it can also kill countless enemies. These cannon sleds are galloping chariots, and those who are hit fly out upside down.

The gunners and the men of the car kept firing with their double-barreled guns, killing those who slipped through the net. On the sled car, some gunners loaded the sub-cannon with ammunition, and after loading, they stuffed the sub-gun into the sub-cannon and ignited the cannon.

The sub-cannon fired at close range was loaded with shotguns, and the sub-cannon operated by several of the most skilled gunners specially greeted the place where the Mongolian soldiers were most crowded, and the muzzle fire erupted, and the shotgun shot out in a fan, like a wind and clouds, and a large number of Mongolian soldiers were knocked down at once.

This tribe was originally the largest tribe in the Horqin Division, with a total of twenty-three auxiliary leaders, but at this time, there were twenty auxiliary leaders in the pass, and only three auxiliary leaders remained outside the pass. To explain, after the Qing army entered the customs, except for the tribe where Prince Durhan was located, which still retained a large number of troops, the main forces of the rest of the tribes were in the capital.

Only three assistant leaders, more than 1,000 people, were quickly swept away.

In fact, the Mongols of the Horqin Department are not as powerful as they imagined, their leader Manzhu Xili was originally a big straw bag, and he had no talent at all, completely relying on his own being the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai, the hereditary Prince of Darhan, the central banner of the left wing of Horqin. In terms of ability, Manzhu Xili is far inferior to his father Saisan. Now not long after Manzhu Xili died, the Heta who inherited the throne is also a wine bag and rice bag.

All resistance was swept away, and the few remaining young and strong were mixed with women, children, old and weak. The yurts were already on fire, and the surviving people were driven out of the yurts by the Ming army and concentrated on the snow outside.

The wind has subsided, but the snow is still falling.

Looking at the murderous Ming army that surrounded them and held sharp blades, the remaining Mongols knelt on the ground one after another, wanting to beg the Ming army to let them live.

Xiao Gongchen didn't have the slightest mercy, and gave a cold order: "Kill!" Not a single one to stay! ”

The Ming soldiers brandished steel knives that sharpened iron like clay, and they surged up like a tide and launched a merciless killing, whether it was women, children, the old or weak, all of them were killed.

The sword flickered, and one by one the remaining Mongols were chopped down in a pool of blood.

Habuqik, who was as timid as a mouse, was also mixed with the old and weak women and children, and originally wanted to escape with this to survive, but he and several young men who mixed in with the old and weak women and children were killed silently by the Ming army, and were killed like dogs.

There were also several dogs in the tribe, which were also killed in the massacre.

All the cattle and sheep were killed, this is a large tribe, although the Mongols killed most of the cattle and sheep, leaving only a small number of cattle and sheep that were planted in the winter, but there were still so many cattle and sheep that they could not be taken away at all.

"Clean up the battlefield and take all the gold and silver with you! Dog Niang raised! There are so many treasures of gold and silver in this tribe! How many things did they rob us Han people back then! Tartars of the Korqin Division, damn each one! Xiao Gongchen picked up a jade bracelet from the corpse of an old woman and said scoldingly.

The Ming army slaughtered cattle and sheep, stripped them of their skins, cut off their flesh, and threw them on sleighs. The bones, offal, and skins of the decomposed cattle and sheep were thrown on the ground, and too much beef and mutton that could not be taken away were also discarded indiscriminately in the snow. Although the loot was abundant, there were too many to take with him.

"If you can't take it away, stay here and leave it to your partners behind!" Xiao Gongchen pointed to the eyes that were shining with green light on the periphery and said.

In order to allow the "partners" to have a full meal early, the Ming army did not light a fire in the camp to cook meat, but left the camp with beef and mutton and booty.

After the Ming army withdrew from the tribe, the wolves that had been waiting outside for a long time poured in and began to clean up the battlefield. In fact, there were still survivors in this tribe of last night's massacre, but after the wolves entered, the few Mongolians who were lucky enough to hide in the pile of corpses to survive could not escape, and they would become a meal in the belly of the wolves.

The Ming troops who had evacuated the camp set up camp in the mountains and forests, lit a fire to cook beef and mutton, and made military rations.

The sky gradually brightened, the Ming army lit a bonfire, set up an iron pot, took snow water and poured it into the pot, boiled the snow water, boiled the water, and put in the beef and mutton.

Just when the Ming army had prepared beef and mutton and was about to eat a hot meal, the guards on the periphery found that a large number of Mongolian cavalry had come from the snowfield not far away!

"There's a Mongolian Tartar coming!" The sentinel gives the signal.

"How many Tartars came?" Xiao Gongchen asked.

The sentry replied: "It is estimated that there are more than five thousand horses!" Look at the flag, it is the flag of the pseudo-prince of Horqin and the tower! ”

"We've made such a big noise, it would be strange if the Tartars hadn't reacted yet!" Xiao Gongchen touched his beard and said to the soldiers around him, "Since they are here, let's prepare to hurry!" ”

During this time, several small tribes of the Mongols were wiped out by the Ming army. Despite the fact that the weather was cold and snowy, and it was difficult for the Mongols to walk, the news leaked out. In the fierce battle last night, some Mongols of this tribe took advantage of the darkness to flee on horseback, and fled to the nearby tribe where the prince of Durhan and the tower were located to report the news.

After receiving the news, Heta immediately ordered his 5,000 men and horses and rushed over the night.

The Ming soldiers extinguished the bonfires, loaded everything onto the sleigh, and then prepared to retreat.

The Mongol cavalry did not rush directly, but broke into the tribal camp that had been destroyed by the Ming army last night.

"Wolves! What a wolf! One of Goshha shouted.

Prince Darhan and Ta looked at the corpses everywhere and the wolves that were gnawing on the corpses, and pulled out their golden knives and pointed: "The wolves eat the bodies of my people, kill me!" ”

The Mongols drew their bows and arrows and rode their horses towards the camp. Before the horses could rush in, a row of arrows rained down, and the wolves, who were enjoying the delicacy, fell.

Attacked by humans, hordes of wild wolves begin to retaliate.

The wolves howled and charged at the Mongol cavalry. Rows of wolves were shot over the snow, and the wolves behind them, staring at them with blood-red eyes, avenged their companions and rushed towards the Mongols.

A wolf was hit by several arrows and jumped up before it could die, trying to bite a Mongol, but in mid-air, a dense cluster of arrows pierced its body, and the wolf fell unwillingly. (To be continued.) )
