To be precise, the battlefield encountered by the two sides belongs to the grassland behind Ulanqab.

Wang Yuan didn't allow Yuan Da to run so far because it was very dangerous. But who let the Chahar tribe in the Qianshan area of Ulanqab have been emptied, and when the Mongols cannot be found, Yuan Da naturally wants to continue to search north.

"General Liang, help me sweep the formation!" Yuan Da shouted.

"General Zhao, rest assured." Liang Zhen immediately took two thousand cavalry and went around to the other side of the battlefield. He didn't have a musket in his hand, only a bow and arrows and a saber, purely to give Yuan Da a hand.

On the side of the Yong Xie Bu Department, Arsu sneered: "They actually dare to face the battle, these Han soldiers are bold enough." ”

A small Tumut chieftain who fled east said: "Don't be careless, the firearms of the Han people are far and accurate, and we are defeated by firearms." ”

Arsu said: "You and I have never seen the firearms of the Han Chinese? The musket was not accurate at all, and it was necessary to line up for a salvo. Of the thousands of Han riders in front of him, only six or seven percent have firearms. Let's spread out the formation and go over, to fight more and less, how many can he beat me? The first shot was fired, and the firearm was gone, and there was no need to refill the medicine while riding a horse. ”

The little leader of Tumut persuaded: "This firearm is different, it fights farther than before!" ”

Arsu said: "You go around the flank to the north, spread the formation as far as you can, and try to charge. ”

Chong Nyima!

The little leader of Tumut was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, he knew that he should have run away, what did he do with this idiot?

The two divisions of Tumut and Ordos have fled a total of tens of thousands of people, including young and strong cavalry, as well as old and weak women and children. But they were frightened by the Ming army, and found that the main force of the Yongxieb Department was not at home, and they were afraid that the Ming army would continue to kill, so most of them turned north. Some went to the left-wing Mongols, while others went to Mobei, which was also the sphere of influence of the right-wing Mongols themselves.

Only a small part, such as the small leader in front of him, joined the army of Yongshebu with cavalry. And then...... Treated as cannon fodder for tentative attacks.

The little leader received the order, and sure enough, he led his troops around the north side. Then he went all the way north, farther and farther, and disappeared.

I didn't want to die, so I ran away.

What the heck?

Arsu was stunned for a moment, I just let you test the charge, so that you can see the new firearms of the Ming army with your own eyes, do you need to escape from the battle like this?

Arsu was not a fool, and the remnants of Tumut fled so simply that the firearms of the Ming army must have been unimaginably terrifying.

But is there an alternative for Arsu?

His men were to the south, and he had to climb over the Grey Beam to get back. And if you want to go back, you must defeat the Ming army in front of you!

"Woo woo~~~"

The Ming army suddenly blew its horn, and the whole army began to retreat.

Liang Zhen ran back after receiving the military order and asked, "General Zhao, why did you withdraw your troops before you fought?" ”

Yuan Da said with a smile: "The enemy army was stunned for a long time and did not attack, I am a little impatient to wait, let's go back to the south." ”

Liang Zhen thought for a moment and praised sincerely: "General Zhao really knows how to fight!" ”

What does it mean?

It's that Yuan Da doesn't talk about martial arts and doesn't want to fight in the flat grassland.

The steppe here is very suitable for a large cavalry charge, but if it really rushes, the muskets of the Ming army may not have time to change bullets.

As long as you climb over the gray tengliang and go south, there are undulating hills, ravines, and occasional high mountains, and the terrain is very complicated, and the musketeers take advantage of all kinds of terrain to fly kites are simply cool. Or simply fight on the gray tengliang, a large undulating grassland, the terrain is as exciting as a roller coaster, and it is guaranteed to play the cavalry of the Yongxieb Division to death.

"Ran away?" Arsu did not immediately catch up, and was still thinking carefully about gaining momentum.

Behind the main force, there were also a thousand Yongshebu cavalry, as well as livestock and people recovered from Doyanwei. Arsu can return the same way he came, so that he can use a thousand more horses, and he can also slowly recuperate and regain the strength of men and horses.

However, the main force of Yongshebu cavalry is all young and strong, and their parents, wives and children are all unknown in life and death.

Retired troops to recuperate, slowly drawing. Or do you want to attack immediately and rescue your men?

Arsu was completely in a dilemma, seeing Yuan Da withdraw his troops to the south, it was difficult to make a choice for a while.

"Chase!"

Arsu finally gave the order and could not wait any longer. He can retire and recuperate, but the Ming army can also increase its troops, and dragging it out will only be more detrimental to himself.

The two cavalry troops, one after the other, rushed wildly, and soon came to the gray tengliang.

Gray Tengliang belongs to the remnants of the Yin Mountain, which means "cold mountain beam" in Mongolian. The mountains here are cascading but not steep, and they are all pastures where horses can run; At the same time, there are many lakes and a cool climate; On the grass, there are occasional boulders that stand out.

At this moment, both sides are climbing, but the old elder is not steep in breaking the road.

"Whew!"

With a short trumpet, Liang Zhen's 2,000 cavalry continued to advance, and the 3,000 musketeers collectively stopped.

They did not line up in formation, but stopped where they were, turning around and looking for their own targets. The Yongsheb cavalry was too scattered, scattering a large fan, and in the face of this situation, the platoon guns were far less effective than free aiming.

"Whew!"

There was another horn, and the 3,000 cavalrymen who had completed their aim fired their bullets at the target, and then continued to run in unison.

This is purely riding on horseback, shooting at a high-speed moving target 100 meters away, and hitting a few depends on the quality and luck of the individual soldier. Moreover, it is possible that several Ming troops are aiming at one target at the same time.

"Bang bang bang!"

A burst of gunfire and 3,000 rounds of ammunition actually hit more than 60 enemies.

That's a very good hit rate, much higher than when they first went into battle, and maybe it can continue to improve in the future.

Arsu shouted: "Full speed pursuit, don't let them reload the potions!" ”

The scattered Yongshebu cavalry approached as they pursued, wanting to form a formation to charge and kill.

"Woohoo!"

Yuan Da let out a strange scream, but they climbed to the top of the slope and continued to go downhill again. This kind of terrain horse racing is really like a roller coaster, moving at high speed, up and down, which can especially stimulate people's adrenaline.

Liang Zhen's 2,000 cavalry, not doing nothing, suddenly turned around at the top of the slope and swept down diagonally to attack the enemy's flank.

Arsu could only divide a part of the cavalry to defend against Liang Zhen, and he personally led the rest of the cavalry to pursue Yuan Da. This short delay gave Yuan Da time to reload his ammunition.

Liang Zhen did not hit hard, taking advantage of the momentum of the dive, he threw an arrow halfway, and slightly changed direction and rushed straight to the north. The two thousand horsemen shot a round of projectiles, and because the distance was too far, most of them were shot on the grass. There were only two unlucky men in the Mongol cavalry, one shot in the thigh and the other in the horse.

Liang Zhen is very self-aware, he failed to equip a musket, he came to be a tool man, not to kill or injure the enemy, but to disgust the enemy.

Yuan Da had already passed through the downhill area, and did not continue to go uphill in front, but the big pits were connected to small pits, and the pits were all grassy inside and outside, and bare boulders could be seen from time to time.

This terrain is so much fun!

"Bang bang bang!"

Another burst of gunfire was fired, this time somewhat unlucky, hitting only more than fifty enemies, ten fewer than the previous one.

However, after two rounds of firing, the Yongsheb cavalry was reduced by about 120 men. They only have a total of 8,000 horses, and if they play a few more times, they should be reduced. Moreover, this kind of situation in which you can only be beaten passively but cannot touch the other party's situation has a very serious impact on morale.

On both sides, you chase me and run, and there is Liang Zhen behind him, who runs out to attack from time to time, and the mentality of Yongxieb's cavalry is about to be blown up.

The third round of gunfire was fired next to a small lake, and the two sides circled the lake like a couple chasing.

This time the character exploded, and more than 90 people were hit!

Arsu's scalp was tingling from the blow, a bullet passed through his ear, and he could even feel the scorching air on his cheek. Knowing that he could no longer fight, he said to the heralds, "Withdraw to the steppes to the north!" ”

As soon as Yong Xie Bu's cavalry retreated, Yuan Da immediately led his troops in pursuit. Liang Zhen also led two thousand horsemen to intercept, and the head was a round of throwing, and then ran backwards.

The entire battlefield has become Liang Zhen running in front, Arsu running in the middle, and Yuan Da running last, and I don't know who is chasing whom.

Finally, Liang Zhen began to run towards the hillside, and Arsu was so frightened that he immediately changed direction. If you don't change direction, wait for Liang Zhen to run to the top of the slope, suddenly turn around and dive, Yong Xie Bu's cavalry will be flanked in front and back - this kind of fighting, Liang Zhen's 2,000 cavalry will definitely suffer heavy losses, but the Yong Xie Bu cavalry may collapse the whole army.

Yong Xie Bu changed direction and ran sideways along the bottom of the slope, and Liang Zhen also changed direction, anyway, he didn't let the enemy easily leave the battlefield.

After a wild run, the terrain in front of me is more interesting, with all kinds of exposed rocks, like patches of psoriasis growing on the grass. This place cavalry can't run fast, and you need to pay attention to ground obstacles at all times, which is much more interesting than the monotonous flat steppe.

After a period of high-speed running, both sides began to slow down, otherwise the war horse under the crotch would not be able to stand it.

This slowdown gave the Ming army's musketeers a chance.

Kuai Laosan pulled the reins with his left hand while grasping the handle of the gun with the tiger's mouth. He took out the paper shell ammunition in his right hand, tore the hole with his teeth, and poured gunpowder into the hole in the breech. Due to the ups and downs of the war horses, much of the gunpowder was shaken outside. I could only continue to tear the second paper shell ammunition, and I tore three paper shells to finally complete the reloading.

He crouched on his horse, aiming at a target in front of him.

"Click!"

Pull the trigger and let out a dumb fart.

This kind of flintlock pistol has only 85% ignition rate, and Kuai Laosan was busy for a long time, but the flintlock device actually failed to ignite.

I don't know how far he ran, Kuai Laosan finally succeeded in reloading again, and aimed at Arsu, the leader of the Yongxieb tribe, with a gun. At this time, the distance is more than 150 meters, both sides are advancing at high speed, and the war horse is still undulating, whether it can hit or not depends on fate.

"Bang!"

The bullet fired, more than a foot crooked, and hit the ass of an unlucky horse. The horse went berserk in an instant, kicking its hooves indiscriminately, throwing the cavalry out and knocking over another horse.

Gunshots rang out sporadically along the way, but unfortunately the operation was too difficult, and it basically took several failed reloading times to successfully shoot a shot, and it was difficult to hit the target.

In any case, as long as the reload is successful, they will shoot at the Mongol leader.

It is easy to recognize, but the clothes are different, and the Mongol chiefs like to wear beautiful hats.

After running so wildly for more than ten miles, none of the Mongol leaders died, but twenty or thirty ordinary cavalry in the vicinity died.

Arsudu was about to go crazy, he ordered to speed up, and the Ming army followed suit. He ordered to slow down, and the Ming army followed. Anyway, it always keeps a distance that is not far away.

"Bang!"

A Mongol leader suddenly fell from his horse, but it was a subordinate of Yongsheb's tribe, and the leader of the second largest tribe, the Asu tribe, was killed.

I don't know who fired the shot, I guess the gunman himself doesn't know, anyway, everything is fucking fate.

Arsu brandished his scimitar and motioned for the whole army to turn around and charge, shouting, "Go back and fight them!" ”

As soon as Yuan Da heard the sound of the enemy's horn and saw the enemy's deceleration action, he also hurriedly ordered: "Blow the trumpet, slow down!" ”

The cavalry of the Yongxieb Division came back with a full of anger, but the Ming musketeers turned around and fled, and the Liang Zhen troops in front also ran back to harass them.

Arsu's lungs were about to explode, and he roared and shouted: "The general of the Wunahan people, if there is a kind of real knife and real gun, fight with a real knife!" ”

Yuan Da couldn't hear it.

After fighting back and forth for half a day, the horses on both sides were exhausted, the running speed became slower and slower, and the guns of the Ming cavalry became more and more frequent.

This thing is all practiced, take Kuai Laosan as an example, riding a horse to reload, at the beginning you have to use three or four shells of ammunition, in order to successfully reload. If you hit the back, you can complete the loading with two or three shells of ammunition, and the speed is also increased a lot.

"Bang bang bang!"

There were another sporadic burst of gunfire, and the leaders of the Karaqin tribe under him finally couldn't bear this torment. Ignoring Arsu's military orders, he took his more than 2,000 cavalry and suddenly left the large army of Yongshebu and rushed towards the east.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry of the Aso Division, having lost their leader, fled in all directions wherever there were no Ming troops.

Of the 8,000 Mongolian cavalry, there were only more than 3,000 Yongshebu cavalry left.

Yuan Da put away his musket and pulled out his saber: "Kill!" ”

"Charge!" Liang Zhen also gave the order.

Five thousand cavalry of the Ming army, flanking and charging left and right, Yongxieb cavalry collapsed directly. In other words, they have long since collapsed, and their mentality has exploded for a long time.
