(0389) "Boom! ”

At this time, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky. The explosion of thunder made the entire prairie seem to boil in an instant. All the Tartars, almost all of them were suppressed. The wounded horses fell to their knees on the grass, neighing in pain. The ownerless horses, who were not injured, scattered and ran away. For a moment, most of the Tatars were stunned. Their first instinct was that they had been ambushed!

A very small number of Tatars, even at the first moment, noticed that they had been ambushed by the Han Chinese army. Because, except for the Han army, no tribe in the steppe used muskets on a large scale. Now, the muskets they encountered, the bullets were so dense, and the lethality was so huge, it was absolutely impossible for anyone else except the Han army. Even, they could judge that this must be the elite of the Han army.

Sure enough, around the horse team of the Tuyuhun people, a large number of cavalry emerged. They were all dressed in azure military uniforms and also used muskets. Needless to say, they are all on the same path as the previous Eagle Cavalry. That's terrible! I thought it was a cornucopia, but I didn't expect it to fall into a trap pre-designed by the enemy. What's even worse is that there are quite a lot of them, far more than the previous Eagle Cavalry!

"What's going on?" Badar was taken aback.

"Oh no! It's the army of the Ming Dynasty! "A scout came in a hurry.

"What? The army of the Ming Dynasty? Why are they here? "Badar was surprised. His brain was not very useful in the first place, and in the face of the mess in front of him, his mind became more and more disordered. At first, he thought that those Han Chinese armies were nothing more than private armies hired by the Tuyuhun people. This has not happened before. Some powerful merchants have their own musket teams, and occasionally, they will also accept some challenging tasks, such as participating in battles and so on.

He never thought that the Ming army would appear in the prairie in such a grand manner. For the army of the Ming Dynasty, he had nothing to fear. Everyone around him felt that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army basically didn't need to be considered. This led to his scorn at the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. However, he couldn't figure out why the army of the Ming Dynasty actually appeared here? Since when did the Ming army dare to enter the prairie again? Aren't they afraid of being struck by the destruction of the caste?

There was no time to think about it, the Tatar cavalry in front had already been killed a lot. The white-clothed army concentrated four armies this time, with a strength of more than 3,500 people, and concentrated a thousand-man team against him. In addition to the Eagle Cavalry, the other three corps, from three different directions, attacked centripetally, shooting in turns. The first salvo caused more than three hundred Tatars to fall from their horses.

The Tatars, who were caught off guard, really suffered a big loss this time. Originally, they only had the Tuyuhun people in their eyes, and they were bent on killing those Tuyuhun people, and then robbing them of their goods and women. Unexpectedly, the Ming army suddenly killed the brigade halfway, surrounded them in the middle, and beat them fiercely. As a result, all of a sudden, these Tatars were blinded. By the time they reacted, they were already disabled. If you want to fight back, you don't have the ability to do it.

"Damn it! Damn! Seeing the scene in front of him, Badal wanted to shred the people who were spreading rumors everywhere. In all kinds of rumors, the Ming army is so vulnerable that it seems that they can push them down by casually stretching out their hands. However, the current situation completely subverts the rumors. The cavalry of the Tatars, in front of the cavalry of the Ming army, was so vulnerable. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the troops had already been lost.

However, the number of cavalry of the Ming army was still very large, so that the Tatars wanted to escape, but there was no safe passage. In the chaos of the battlefield, no matter which direction the Tatar cavalry galloped from, they would be blocked by the Ming cavalry. Badar glanced at it casually, and felt that the entire steppe was full of Ming cavalry in azure military uniforms. They completely took the initiative on the battlefield. The Tatars had only to be beaten. Of the ten Tatars, it is estimated that two or three will eventually escape. The others may have to give their lives here.

This made Badar feel a deep despair. When did his troops degenerate to such a point? Don't even have a chance to escape? The Tatars are the masters of the steppe! This is their home! Bigger doubts rose in his mind. Doesn't it mean that the army is vulnerable? How did you suddenly become so powerful? If the Ming army is so powerful, how can the people of the Hailegin tribe often attack Ningxia Town? Why didn't the Ming army recover the Bayannur grassland?

"Damn!" Badal suddenly cried out again through gritted teeth.

Those damn Ming cavalry even turned over and dismounted, hid behind their horses, and kept shooting. This caused the Tatar cavalry to suffer more damage. Because, in the chaos, there are guns and bullets whistling everywhere, and no one knows if they will be hit suddenly. Even, in many cases, the Tatars did not even notice the Ming army hiding behind the horses, and as a result, they hurriedly passed by them, and tragedy followed.

What's worse is that no one knows which direction is the safe passage. Or rather, there is no safe passage at all. The surviving Tatar cavalry were like headless flies, scurrying around the battlefield. They can only instinctively look for a way to escape. Finding that he couldn't rush out here, he hurriedly turned his horse's head and tried to rush out from another direction. Obviously, such a tossing back and forth will only greatly increase their chances of being hit.

In fact, it is. In the process of tossing back and forth, Tatars constantly fell to the ground. Tossing back and forth like this a few times, it is estimated that all the Tatars will be killed here. On the contrary, some clever Tatars simply gave up their horses, quietly lay in the grass, pretended to be dead without moving, carefully observed the surrounding situation, and then suddenly turned on their horses and left in a hurry, but they grabbed a glimmer of life.

"Get out!"

"Everyone disperse and retreat!"

Badal hurriedly ordered, and he himself turned around and ran.

He had realized that if he continued to entangle, it would be the Tatars who would suffer. Now the only way out of this situation is to escape. No matter which way you flee, you must flee. Only by escaping can there be a way to live. If you can't escape, the entire thousand-person team will be doomed. The so-called scattered retreat is actually to find their own way to survive, and a few escapes are just a few. This is the best hunger that Badar can think of, and it is also the most practical way.

However, his approach still encountered great resistance. There were many cavalry of the Ming army around, and the most conservative estimate was that there were 3,000 people, which was three times his strength. With so many Ming cavalry, surrounded by the Tatar cavalry with fewer and fewer numbers, it was like a group of adults capturing a group of children, and it really took a little effort for the children to escape. If you're unlucky, you'll hit an adult's arms headlong.

As the number of Tatar cavalry became smaller and smaller, the remaining Tatar cavalry had even more hope of escaping. Even hiding in the grass is no longer safe. Because, part of the cavalry of the Ming army has already begun to inspect the battlefield in a planned way. With bayonets in hand, they kept stabbing into the surrounding grass. If anyone hides in it, they will be stabbed to death with a bayonet. There was no way, the Tatars, who were hiding in the grass, had to take the risk of jumping up, turning around and running. However, the result of this is often that they are hit by the whistling Mini bullets, and then stay on the ground forever.

But you can't run away. If you don't escape, it's a dead end. The Tatars, who had fallen into chaos, could only flee desperately and hastily in all directions. Some of the Tatars, in the process of running, were knocked down by Mini bullets. Some of the Tatars, without horses, had to flee on foot. Of course, there were also sporadic Tatars, who rushed out in one go. They rely not on their own skills at all, but on the luck given by God.

On the battlefield, anything can happen. For those Tatars who rushed out, the white-clothed army ignored them and ran as they pleased. What the white-clothed army is concentrating on dealing with is still the Tartars in the encirclement. As long as it is possible to kill the other party, try to kill the other party as much as possible. In their tight encirclement, there are not many Tartars who can escape, so there is no need to worry at all. Soon they gathered around Badar.

Badar, as the commander of the Tatars, must have had a few guards around him. With a few guards, he abandoned his horse and crept quietly through the grass with his hands and bent over. For safety, he also took off his commander's costume, threw away the golden waist sword, and replaced it with a set of ordinary Tatar cavalry attire. He thought that in this way, he would be able to avoid the eyes of the white-clothed army and escape. However, several of them were moving together, and the goal was still too obvious, and the cavalry of the White Army soon discovered him.

The eyes of the Eagle Cavalry stragglers were quite sharp. They have been active on the grassland for a long time, and their eyes have been trained like owls, and they can find targets two or three miles away. How could Badar's massive body, and the guards around him, escape the eyes of an owl? As soon as the whistle sounded, more than a dozen white-clothed cavalrymen outflanked them with muskets. After discovering the target, they didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and just shot directly. In this battle, the white-clothed army only needs to die and not live.

"Everyone scattered and rushed out of the ......"

Badar brandished his sword and roared loudly.

What he meant was that everyone scattered and retreated, and one escaped one by one. However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his head was hit by something, and he lost consciousness completely. In the eyes of outsiders, after a volley of shots, Badar and the guards around him were all lying in a pool of blood.

Several of the Panthers' warriors rushed over, turned over and dismounted, and with bayonets in their hands, mended each of them, and convinced that they were dead, they hurriedly turned over their horses and continued to look for other targets. Poor Badar, disguised as an ordinary Tatar cavalryman, so that after his death, he did not receive any preferential treatment, and disappeared without a trace.

…… After more than half an hour, the gunfire gradually stopped. The Tatar cavalry in the encirclement has been completely cleared. Outside the encirclement, there was no trace of the Tatar cavalry. Feng Qingwu immediately ordered to stop the fighting, reorganize the troops, and prepare to attack the next target. After the fierce battle, the soldiers of the white-clothed army all turned over and dismounted, ate and drank, recuperated, wiped their weapons, checked their ammunition, adjusted their equipment, and prepared to fight again.

The cavalry of the Tuyuhun people was responsible for cleaning the battlefield and counting casualties. They gathered the corpses of the Tatars together and prepared to set them on fire. This is the custom of all the peoples of the steppe. In the past, the white-clothed army had always been killed and buried. However, the Tuyuhun people want to be a little more humane, and there is no need for the white-clothed army to object. As for the Tatar war horses, as long as they can continue to be used, they have also been concentrated by the Tuyuhun people. Soon, Houdefu came to report: "Kill about 700 people, and the rest have run away!" ”

Although 3,000 men participated in the siege, with an advantage in strength and an absolute advantage in weapons, the steppe was indeed too large, and it still gave many Tatars the opportunity to escape. No one knows how they managed to escape. These Tatars really have a talent for escaping! However, after killing 700 people, this thousand-man team must have been abolished. Even if you want to rebuild, it's impossible. It is estimated that the two or three hundred people who escaped have also been frightened, and they will not have the courage to continue fighting against the white-clothed army next time.

On the side of the white-clothed army, there were also dozens of casualties. They were accidentally hit by sporadic Minnie bullets during the battle. Sometimes, the musket has too long a range, which is not a good thing. It's easy to get injured by mistake! However, there is no way around it. If it weren't for the great power and long range of the Moon Gun, it is estimated that the battle would not have been victorious. Fortunately, whether it was killed in battle or wounded, the Tuyuhun people were responsible for dealing with it. They'll be well accommodated. The other fighters can also continue to fight with peace of mind.

For the Tuyuhun people, the battle just now gave them a full glimpse of what combat effectiveness is. A thousand-strong detachment of the Tatars was completely routed by the white-clothed army in just such a moment. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it. You must know that the cavalry of the Tatars is not muddy! If the Tuyuhun people are on top of them, maybe they will be at a disadvantage. The white-clothed army is really amazing!

"Let's go!"

"Next!"

Feng Qingwu ordered without hesitation.

"Da Da Da!"

The sound of horses' hooves was hurried, and the white-clothed army was like a gust of wind, rolling towards the next target.
