"Ahh

A scream rang out outside the city.

All Mongolian men over the age of seven lined up to be stabbed. Some looked horrified, some angry, and still others were overjoyed...... They rejoiced because they had finally saved their lives.

Wang Yuan didn't think about killing too much this time, but he had to guard against future Mongol rebellions.

Therefore, all the captured Mongolian males cut off their left thumbs!

It's just that he lost his left thumb, and it didn't have much effect except that he couldn't draw the bow anymore. Wang Yuan was very merciful, not even cutting off the thumb of his right hand, trying to preserve their labor.

Wang Yuan, the leader of the Mongolian tribes here, would bring them back to the capital to sacrifice prisoners, leaving ordinary people to raise horses and graze. In the future, they will supply war horses for the imperial court and wool for the factory owners in Shanxi, and guide them to learn Chinese and become Han Chinese.

The pasture was given to Mongolian herders, and the planting areas along the river were left to the Han people for cultivation.

Along the Tumo River, there were about 50,000 Han Chinese, most of whom belonged to serfs, and now all of them have been liberated. On the side of the Ordos Department, there are also tens of thousands of Han serfs, which are the population base of the Ming Dynasty's rule of the Hetao.

"Ahh

One hand was held down, and the steel knife that had been sterilized was cut off, and the thumb of the left hand was quickly cut off. There is a jar of plant ash next to it, grab a handful of ash to paste the wound, and then simply bandage it with a strip of cloth.

What should I do if the infection becomes inflamed?

I'm sorry, you're just out of luck.

All the Mongol weapons were confiscated and distributed to 5,000 auxiliaries to defend the city, and Wang Yuan crossed the river with the remaining troops to kill Ordos.

As for Yuan Da's 3,000 horsemen, they did not follow them across the river and continued to stay in the territory of the Tumut Department. The first is to sweep away the remnants of the Tumut tribe who have fled, and the second is to guard against the Yongshebu tribe further east to come to the rescue.

……

Dongsheng Right Acropolis, located in the Dongsheng District of Ordos City in later generations, this city is also extremely strong.

The outer side of its walls is made of rammed earth, and the inner walls are also covered with blue bricks. Historically, the Qing Dynasty was once again reinforced, laying another layer of green bricks on top of the rammed earth.

Leaving the Yellow River, the task of transporting nearly 400 guns was aggravated, because it was no longer possible to use boats for water transportation.

These light guns can be lifted by two people. But if you want to go fast, you have to have four people to lift the barrel of the gun, and two people to carry the wheels and other parts. But there were also cannonballs, all solid iron bullets, which had to be pulled by livestock, and fortunately many of them were captured in Toto.

From the city of Totuo (Tuoketuo County), all the way was a grassland area, and it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that the desert began to form.

Halfway through, Zheng Hu rode over with three thousand: "Wang Shangshu, the Etodos tribe and the Eight White Chambers are now hiding in the city and don't dare to come out!" ”

Zheng Hu is the powerful Wuju person, Wu Jinshi was recruited into the leopard room by the emperor, and followed Xi Shu to Datong to rectify military affairs. He took 3,000 musketeers and cavalry to set out from Yatou Pass, and was responsible for attacking and harassing the Ordos Department and preventing the Ordos Department and the Eight White Chambers from retreating northward.

Wang Yuan asked, "What are the results?" ”

Zheng Hu replied: "These troops and the Eight White Chambers are only escorted by 5,000 Mongolian cavalry. When the lowly slaughter came, they were migrating north. After several battles back and forth, I killed more than a thousand cavalry, and captured some Mongols and livestock. The Mongol captives were killed, some of the livestock were slaughtered for military rations, and the rest were thrown into the steppe to graze themselves. ”

"Well, good job." Wang Yuan nodded in approval.

Zheng Hu's 3,000 musketeers could face the pursuit of tens of thousands of troops at any time, and it was the right thing to do to kill the prisoners and throw away the livestock, and they had to maintain sufficient mobility.

After another half a day, Wang Yuan's soldiers approached the city and chose to besiege but not attack.

The Ordos tribe and the Eight White Chambers are now trapped in the city, and I must lead the main force to come to the rescue, what a good target for besieging the city.

However, the speed of my return is also fast, and before Wang Yuan's side has completed the camp, tens of thousands of Ordos cavalry have already arrived.

"The main force of the enemy army has arrived!"

"The main force of the enemy army has arrived!"

The scout quickly ran back to report the news, and Wang Yuan immediately ordered: "Stop camping, the whole army is in formation!" ”

In the Alta army, there were also clairglasses, and I don't know who sold them to the Mongols.

The Mongol sentinel saw that the Ming army was camping, and hurriedly went back to report it, and I immediately ordered: "Take advantage of the enemy's unstable camp, and crush them all!" ”

The more than 50,000 Ordos cavalry traveled nearly 200 miles day and night, with only a few short breaks on the way. The young and young people can still bear it, but there are still many old people in the army, and they are almost exhausted at the moment.

Even the war horses under their crotches have already lost their fat, and many of them will inevitably die violently after this battle.

"Kill!"

More than 50,000 cavalry attacked overwhelmingly, and more than 3,000 cavalry left in the city also took the opportunity to rush out, and directly circled the back of the Ming army.

In just an instant, Wang Yuan's main force was surrounded.

The Ordos Department is tired, and the Ming army is not much better.

Wang Yuan has been rushing to rush for time. The livestock, which was responsible for transporting grain, grass, and shells, was whipped from beginning to end, and when they were exhausted, they were killed to eat meat and meals.

The Great Ming soldier has not closed his eyes for a day and a night.

The auxiliaries were even more miserable, working hard all the way, and had to be responsible for setting up camp when they arrived outside the city. When the auxiliaries set up camp, all the regular soldiers fell to sleep, and were forced to get up and form a formation when they heard the order.

The livestock were gone, and the charioteers quickly built a barrier, and the auxiliaries and supplies were enclosed in a hollow array. Zheng Hu's 3,000 musketeers went to harass more than 50,000 enemy cavalry to buy time for friendly forces to form a formation.

After driving Zheng Hu's cavalry away, he quickly surrounded the Ming army's large array, but by this time the chariot defense circle had been completed.

Those auxiliary soldiers who were tired and tired were really tired and sleepy. Faced with tens of thousands of troops surrounded, they all lay in the hollow array, falling to the ground one by one and falling asleep.

The regular soldiers were also sleepy, and it was difficult to reload ammunition, and now they just wanted to sleep, but they lost the fear they deserved.

"Don't be afraid of death, rush on all sides!" I replied to convey the military order, and the horn sounded.

The exhausted main forces of both sides met in this hurry, and then a hasty decisive battle was fought.

"Boom, boom!"

Nearly 400 artillery pieces fired first, mainly at the east, west, and south, ignoring the more than 3,000 horsemen from the north.

An iron bullet shot out at an elevation angle, and the unlucky ones were directly smashed. After the shell landed, it was still bouncing and rolling on the grassland, and as long as it touched the horse's hooves, it was even a man and a horse falling to the ground.

These Mongols are really crazy, they are all Genghis Khan's guardians, bent on protecting the Eight White Chambers, and they brave the whistling cannonballs, forgetting their lives and charging forward.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Two rows of guns in a row finally brought these fanatics to their senses, and with it endless fear.

As they rushed, they found that their comrades around them were gone, and the cavalry charge formation was even more chaotic by guns.

Due to the departure from the Yellow River and the abandonment of grain carriers, there were far more auxiliaries and supplies on the battlefield than during the attack on Tutuo City. The hollow array had to be changed as a result, and the musketeers were only lined up in three rows, two circles outside the 18,000 musketeers platoon, and one circle in the middle of the 9,000 rifled gunmen platoon, so that they could protect their artillery, auxiliaries and supplies. Moreover, the north side had the least number of troops, because there were fewer enemies there.

The rifled gunners in the inner ring fired a salvo first, followed by the smoothbore gunners in the outer ring.

By the time the smoothbore gunmen in the middle circle fired a volley, the remaining Mongol cavalry had already rushed thirty paces away. Under the opponent's full charge, he couldn't stop at all, even if he was afraid of death, he couldn't immediately contain the momentum of the charge.

"Bang bang bang!"

The third salvo, although it was all smoothbore guns, was so close that the Mongol cavalry fell like wheat.

After one round of artillery and three rounds of muskets, there were nearly 60,000 Mongolian cavalry, and only more than 20,000 were still standing. Moreover, many of the Mongol cavalry, instead of being directly hit by guns, crashed into friendly soldiers and fell during the charge, or tripped over the corpses of friendly soldiers.

Instantly inflicting more than half of the casualties is enough to awaken these guardians from their frenzied state and restore them to their proper human emotions.

Even Ida, the Mongolian deputy khan, was so frightened that he was cold. He had never fought such a battle, and in the Battle of Datong three years ago, as long as the Mongols worked together, it was possible to defeat the Ming army. But this time the firepower faced was even more fierce, and they didn't give a chance at all, all they could do was to die.

Of the remaining more than 20,000 Mongol cavalry, a few could not contain the momentum, and even men and horses crashed into the chariot defense circle. Some of them lost their minds, forcibly reined in their horses to stop the charge, and were directly thrown off the horse's back by inertia. There were also some cavalrymen who subconsciously turned around and wanted to flee sideways to avoid the battle, but collided with the friendly forces that were rushing straight ahead.

The guns of the Ming army did not continue to fire, but the Mongol cavalry was even more confused. There are more than 20,000 riders who can still stand, trampling and crashing on their own, and there are only more than 10,000 left at the scene of various car accidents.

"Get on the bayonet, kill!"

The Da Ming soldiers, who were so sleepy that they just wanted to sleep, were already excited at this time, and after buckling their bayonets, they crossed the chariot defense circle and quickly rushed towards the enemy.

Many of the Mongol cavalry, purely in a car accident, fell to the ground, and with good luck were only slightly wounded. However, what they were about to face was a bayonet, and as long as they were still moving, they were all rushed up and stabbed by the Ming soldiers.

There were more than 10,000 Mongol cavalry left, and they only knew how to flee in all directions.

The 3,000 musketeers under Zheng Hu's command, as well as the 1,500 cavalry from the border towns brought by Wang Yuan, took the opportunity to pursue and kill after the battle.

Many Mongol cavalry wanted to flee back to the city, but how dare the Mongols in the city open the door?

Fleeing and fleeing, the war horse under the crotch of the Mongolian cavalry began to foam at the mouth. They had already marched for hundreds of miles in a row, and immediately threw themselves into the battle charge, and even frantically whipped and fled, and the war horses could not bear it at all.

And the 4,500 cavalry of the Ming army, although it was also a rapid march all the way. But they followed the infantry together, and always maintained the physical strength of the war horse, and the pursuit was extremely painful.

Feeling the state of the war horse under the crotch, many of the Mongolian cavalry who were chased behind them chose to dismount and surrender.

But the cavalry of the Ming army didn't care about this, they chased more than 10,000 thousand, which was already a little insufficient, and they couldn't spare the manpower to accept the prisoners. In the face of the enemy who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, the cavalry of the Ming army did not slow down, directly slashed over, and then rode a war horse to continue the pursuit.

I have long been targeted by Zheng Hu, and no one cares about this goods, and I don't let go.

After chasing for more than 20 miles, I replied that the BMW under the crotch finally couldn't hold on, and the front hooves were soft and threw the Mongolian deputy sweat down.

I was so stumbling that the scimitar in my hand was missing. He shook and just got up, his clothes were suddenly grabbed by Zheng Hu, and the whole person was lifted directly, just like carrying a chicken.

Zheng Hu, a martial artist who can dance a hundred catties of swords, grabbed the Mongolian deputy Khan with one hand at this moment, and laughed: "I'm going to be promoted!" ”
